Chapter 398: Shy
As soon as Chen Rujun read the letter, Mama Fei carefully told Murong Ling about the situation along the way, with an unpredictable smile on her face: "The road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info thought that it was in their calculations step by step, and after all, the young master and the young lady were better than them. ”
Along the way, the mothers-in-law sent by Mu Yixian always wanted to visit the festival gifts given by Chen Xinhua, and there was some flattery in their words. also took the initiative to invite Mama Fei to have a drink, and talked about the topic, wanting to hear the news from Mama Fei's words.
Mama Fei relied on the old and sold the old, and the comer did not refuse, and the other party was interested in the words, which only aroused the other party's curiosity.
But like a fish biting the hook, it can't spit it out and can't swallow it, and it hangs people's appetite more and more.
Not only that, Mama Fei also generously lifted the curtain, pointed out the Shaoxing Huadiao wine in the whole car to them, and pointed to those cage baggage, praising her aunt and grandmother for their filial piety, and fell into the other party's sight from the jars and jars of gifts.
Even so, the other party is still not at ease. When passing by the Wuxi Post House, because the post house was close to the downtown area, it was very good to shirk responsibility, and several private soldiers pretended to be robbers and staged a farce of thieves shouting to catch thieves.
The other party had a clear purpose, and used a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, leading Mama Fei out of her room, and the etiquette in the car did not move at all, only taking the opportunity to search for the things she was carrying.
turned the baggage boxes carried by Mama Fei and the two girls who lived with her upside down, because she couldn't find what she wanted, in order to cover up the truth of the facts, she took away a pair of pure gold earrings from Mama Fei, as well as a few other worthless jewelry.
On the bright side, Mama Fei cried and grabbed the ground, cursing the thief for not dying well. Secretly, I knew that it must be the group of people mentioned by the second young master who were secretly doing the trick, and I was even more glad that Chen Huanzhong was far-sighted.
Chen Rujun finished reading the letter, his eyes added a deep meaning, and he bowed to Mama Fei: "Mama is worthy of being a heroine among women, and she actually came up with this method to deliver the news." Don't hide it, this letter is worth 10,000 dollars, and I have been waiting for these news for a long time. ”
Today and tomorrow will be two days of rest in a row, watching the night fall, if you rush into the palace at this time, I am afraid that it will fall into the eyes of those who have a heart.
Tomorrow's dinner, Emperor Chongming feasted his ministers, but I was afraid that I would not find the opportunity to be a saint in private.
Chen Rujun thought about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he ordered someone to call Chen Zhihua to come.
Chen Zhihua was busy taking care of the family banquet in the evening, and after hearing his father's summons, he went back to change into a homely curtain, and joined hands with his sister, and both went to Mama Fei's courtesy.
As the sun grew dusk, the luster of broken gold was bright and warm, lightly plated on Chen Zhihua's cheeks. The girl to be married has a calm and stability in her eyes that are very different from those of her peers, and after reading the letter from Mama Fei, her expression is extraordinarily deep, and she is quietly waiting for her father to speak.
"Jiangyin is full of rumors, the news that your brother and sister have ventured to come, and now I can't enter the palace, so you have to reluctantly go to the old mansion of Xia Ge to meet the old lady. Chen Rujun hesitated again and again, only this method can best hide people's eyes.
"Are you confused?" Murong Ling heard clearly on the side, and was half angry at her husband: "The two children are discussing marriage, it's too late to avoid suspicion, what kind of face do you see in vain? What kind of family is in the old mansion of Xia Ge, do you want to ask the old lady to say that the Chen Mansion has no tutor?"
The Xia family is a hairpin family, and the tutors naturally act differently, these days in order to discuss relatives, Chen Zhihua stays in the house very steadily, and learns some rules with the grandmother invited by Murong Ling.
Several invitations from Murong Wei and Xia Lanxin were pushed away by Chen Zhihua, for fear of leaving a bad impression on others and insulting the lintels of the two mansions.
At this time, listening to his father's instructions, Chen Zhihua lowered his eyelids quietly, and his eyes were calm: "Mother is concerned and chaotic." Now that the situation is urgent, my father has his own reasons for doing so. If the Xia family can't tell the difference, and the Xia family Saburo will be annoyed with his daughter because of this, how can he be qualified to discuss with our family?"
Chen Rujun clapped his hands lightly, nodded with a smile, and praised: "Ah Ling, this is our good daughter." Each one knows the priorities and puts the interests of the country before personal honor and disgrace and safety. ”
Based on Fang Cai's letter, Chen Rujun had already analyzed the situation in Jiangyin thoroughly for Murong Ling. As the head of the Jiangnan scholars and the close relatives of Emperor Chongming, the Chen family naturally wanted to firmly guard the land of Jiangyin for him.
Thinking that his son and daughter were so righteous, Murong Ling's heart was hot, and his tone was choked: "I know, I know, this will give Zhihua some gifts to go to Xia Mansion." ”
"Madame don't have to bother, everything is ready-made", Chen Rujun had already calculated, pointed to the things on Chen Xinhua's gift list, and turned to Chen Zhihua and said: "The festival gift sent by your eldest sister has two jars of Gaoyou salted duck eggs, and the old lady prefers this one." You rush to send a jar to the old mansion of Xia Ge before dinner, and only say a little soil ceremony is not a respect, please ask the lord of Xiying to take you to pay a salute to the old lady. ”
Chen Rujun wore a green shirt, side by side with Murong Ling, adding some detachment, and smiled clearly, revealing a strategizing calmness: "The old lady is a wise person, so he will naturally arrange for the two children to meet." With the elders in charge, it is not possible for them to give and receive privately. ”
At present, this is the only way to deliver the news to Xia Yuzhi as soon as possible.
According to Chen Huanzhong's statement, the Cangnan area is ready to move, and now it is no longer time.
Emperor Chongming and Chen Rujun's idea was to use the Mid-Autumn Festival and the canonization ceremony in September to make the Jiangyin gang relax their vigilance, so that they could be wiped out.
Now the Jiangyin gang is restless and self-guarding, because Wuxi Wu Taishou has entered Beijing, and Wuxi has less control over them, it is easier to act, Chen Rujun is afraid that they will jump off the wall in a hurry.
Only one step in advance told Xia Yuzhi that from now on he would start to deploy troops and lay a net in the Jiangyin area, and he would be caught off guard during the canonization ceremony.
Regarding Murong Ling's efforts to prepare the carriage and horses for Chen Zhihua, Chen Rujun told her daughter a few words in an orderly manner, and instructed her to bring the words to the old lady and Xia Yuzhi respectively.
Chen Zhihua ordered the girl to go back to the room to get the auspicious clothes for herself, changed into a vermilion vase pattern placket inlaid with royal blue trunk, and re-combed her hair on her mother's dressing table.
Half shy, half shy, Chen Zhihua took a personal girl, took a carriage covered by Zhu Yinghua, and hurriedly drove to the old mansion of Xia Ge.
The relationship between the two has been approved by the elders in the house, and now it is a certainty, only the eight characters are still so small, she is considered a person from the Xia Mansion.
Just like a new daughter-in-law who wants to see her family, that anxiety and nervousness are inevitable after all. Although Chen Zhihua is free and easy, she is Yunying's unmarried lady after all, with a steep haze on her face, and she is as shy as the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
