If Chonglan had known Chongrou on the first day, she might have believed her humble attitude, but it was not the first time that the two had dealt with each other, so she quietly pulled Chongli and avoided Chongrou's outstretched hand with this action.

"If my cousin is hungry, use it first, what will I do? Do you still want to watch me eat? ”

Chongrou was accustomed to her indifferent attitude towards herself, so she didn't care at all, and covered her mouth with a silk and smiled: "The third cousin is still so funny." ”

She greeted Chonglan Chongli affectionately: "Come and sit down here, the big guys are waiting for you." ”

Chonglan didn't want to get too close to her, but it was too obvious to walk away at this time, so she pulled Chongli over.

Chongrou got closer and saw the luxurious objects on her body more clearly, and felt extremely uncomfortable, and had to pretend to be happy and hurriedly compliment and flatter: "... When I was a child, I felt that my third cousin was good, not only her appearance was outstanding, but her temperament and intelligence also compared a few of us, and now I see, you are really a blessed person, not only married to a high family, but also a cousin-in-law is gentle and considerate, I really envy others. ”

Chonglan ate a crab roe dumpling and said casually: "Where is it, my cousin married into a hairpin family, generations of scholars, my father and brother are officials, and my sons and nephews are all promising, so I am envious." ”

Chongrou's expression suddenly darkened, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk: "It's just the scenery on the face." "She is a good actor at acting, and she is more sincere than singing on stage.

Chonglan said unhurriedly: "I don't understand what my cousin is saying, look at what you are wearing, which one is not several times better than when you were a girl, the Chen Mansion is rich and rich, the drink to relieve the heat in summer, the side dishes that can be eaten in winter, everything is finely picked up, this is still called the scenery on the surface?" If you say so, what can you do with others? ”

Chongrou twisted the handkerchief, and her eyes were slightly red: "Originally, today is a good day for my cousin, I shouldn't have mentioned this, but my cousin also knows that I made some small mistakes before I got married, and the Chen family will not be seen after I get married, and your cousin-in-law will be angry with me when he sees the sky, and he will find some concubines to drink and have fun at every turn, and he has not even entered my yard a few times." ”

Chonglan said: "Paper can't hold the fire, since the fourth cousin chose to instigate the Chen family girl to make trouble, she should be ready to be punished." ”

Chongrou said hurriedly: "My cousin said this about me, but I didn't have the face to see anyone, I really wanted to persuade my cousin and sister-in-law to reconcile..."

She sobbed: "I don't know what went wrong in the middle, maybe my sister-in-law heard something wrong, so I went to my cousin angrily, my sister-in-law's violent temper, I can't stop it if I want to." ”

Chonglan glanced at her casually, Chongrou knew that if there was no benefit, she wouldn't spend so much effort to act, so she smiled slightly: "Cousin, just say it if you have anything, why bother talking so much." ”

Chongrou bit her lower lip, her face was weak and helpless, with the heavy makeup on her face, she was really a little nondescript: "Don't hide it from my cousin, my father-in-law was punished when he first took office, and the tired husband has been in a bad career recently, and he always makes me angry when he comes back, I think if I can help him in his career, I can also get some attention in my husband's family." ”

Chonglan sighed, and didn't continue to answer her words, she had to say to herself: "I think that my cousin-in-law is the governor of Jiangnan, and he will definitely be able to pull out his brother-in-law, and he can..."

Before she finished speaking, Chonglan slapped the chopsticks on the table with a 'snap' and sneered: "You have a big heart, you said that you can pull a handful, do you think he opened the yamen?!" ”

She didn't wait for Chongrou to speak, and continued: "Besides, I have only been married into the Qi State Mansion for three days, so I am in a hurry to make such a request, what do you let him and the elders in the mansion think of me?" Dare to love my cousin is just thinking about herself! ”

In fact, if she went to ask Yan He, he might not be willing to agree, but why did she let Yan He work hard for Chongrou?

Chongrou was startled by her sudden anger, her body shook, and when she came back to her senses, Chonglan had already pulled Chongli and sat down next to the patriarch's wife.

The patriarch's wife gave up the open space for him to sit down, and touched her face lovingly: "Your uncle is a good one, you have to live a good life with him, and when your three brothers and sisters become a family, your father and mother can also look at her." ”

Chonglan obediently responded, and the patriarch's wife was about to say a few more words, when she saw the old lady Wang dressed in jewels and walked in, sat beside her familiarly, and said loudly: "I'm late for something at home, don't be surprised by the old sister and the girl of the Chong family." ”

The patriarch's wife never wanted to see her, but she frowned and didn't speak, Chonglan and Chongli did the same, they both bowed their heads and didn't speak.

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Mrs. Wang pinched her arm, glanced at Chongli, raised her voice and said, "I am not welcome, and I have stayed at the door for a long time and no one has come to greet me." ”

Chongli pursed her lips, and Chonglan said casually: "Everyone was busy just now, and there was inevitably not enough manpower, so no one went to greet the old lady, and I hope the old lady will not be surprised." ”

Old Madam Wang nodded with a shelf, glanced at Chongli again, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw the sixth sister, come over and let me take a look." ”

After she finished speaking, she reached out to pull Chongli's sleeve, Chongli was caught off guard by her arm, she grinned and said: "Oh, the sixth sister's appearance is getting better and better, and her body is also a lot slimmer, and she has become a big girl." It's just that the dress is too plain. ”

After she finished speaking, she was going to pull off the golden hairpin on her head and bring it to Chongli, the girl's family couldn't accept other people's things at will, Chongli stepped back, and insisted on not accepting it.

One insisted on giving, the other just didn't accept it, the patriarch's wife saw that Mrs. Wang was pushing and shoving, so she frowned and said unhappily: "What's the matter with the aunt of the Wang family, which gift are you giving this year?" ”

She glanced at the golden hairpin again: "What's more, this gift is too precious for Li'er to accept." ”

Chongli finally took advantage of this opportunity to get out of her body, and ran to Chonglan's side with a smoke, and Mrs. Wang grabbed a vacancy, but still smiled: "It's not an outsider, this gift will be given away, what can it be worth." ”

The patriarch's wife said lightly: "In the end, the aunt of the Wang family is a guest, and the rules that should be paid attention to should be paid attention to." ”

Old Madam Wang naturally heard the meaning of her words, and continued to smile: "It's not an outsider, these girls from your heavy family are all good-looking, I really like it, I still wanted to talk to Sister Lan at the beginning, but it's a pity that there is no fate, Sister Li is also..."

The patriarch's wife put the tea bowl on the table and said in a deep voice: "Aunt Wang is cautious, don't tarnish the reputation of our heavy girl!" ”

She took a deep breath and said coldly: "What's more, I remember, now your Wang family is still unmarried and only your stupid little son is left, such a person dares to come to talk about marriage, when we have a family, it is easy to bully?!" ”

Scolding people is not exposed, and the patriarch's wife is not such a mean person, but today she is really angry.

Mrs. Wang's face was flushed, and she raised her eyebrows and wanted to slap the table and scold, but she was also a junior in front of the patriarch's wife, and this was the territory of the heavy family, so she could only pinch her nose and admit it.

Everyone sitting around the table whispered, looking at Old Man Wang with sneering eyes, Rao couldn't stand her thick skin, and finally lowered her head and didn't dare to look for any more trouble.

This Guining banquet was unexpectedly full of underwater, Chonglan put down her chopsticks and rubbed her forehead, just looking forward to ending it quickly, so that she could go and see the Bai family.

At the bottom, Chong Ruifeng is currying favor with Yan He's side, constantly instilling the theory that his eldest husband should have three wives and four concubines, and he can't get used to his mother-in-law.

Yan He snorted 'Golden Wind and Jade Dew' as usual, as if he hadn't heard it, and he whispered in his ears.

Chonglan happened to be able to see this scene upstairs, and she wasn't worried that the maid Yan He sent by Chong Ruifeng would really be able to accept it.

Not to mention a few girls, he has been walking in officialdom for so many years, and no one else has given any beauty, like a Western Regions orchid, a turtle beauty is considered a light courtesy, he confiscated all of these, it is strange to be able to look at a few ordinary girls sent by Chong Ruifeng, but seeing him harassing Yan He vigorously, he was very unhappy.

It is said that there is a heart between brothers and sisters, and this is not a lie, although he is a lover of beauty, he snorted in his heart when he saw that someone wanted to give his brother-in-law a concubine.

He buckled the handle of the wine jug and walked over, laughing and said: "I said that the uncle is so biased, I have been a nephew for you for so many years, you didn't say to give me a beauty, today my brother-in-law came and you put a hot face on it, but unfortunately my brother-in-law can't look down on it, why don't you give it to me, he doesn't understand the amorous feelings, I understand." ”

Chong Ruifeng's face sank, but he couldn't get angry at such a bad person, so he could only wave his hand to catch him: "What's the matter with you, hurry up and entertain the guests." ”

Chongzheng doesn't have many advantages, but his thick skin is definitely one of them, and when he heard this, he sat down next to him affectionately, carrying a wine jug and said: "Don't mind, our uncle and nephew haven't seen each other for a long time, come, uncle give me a face, let's have two drinks." ”

He didn't know where to find a large wine bowl, and after pouring it full, he poured a bowl for Chong Ruifeng without saying anything, and before he could react, he said a toast and poured him several bowls with a hippie smile.

Chong Ruifeng's eyes were fluttering, his legs were weak, he was helped to the side hall to rest, and he was sitting on a high-backed chair drinking sobering soup and scolding Chongzheng, when a subordinate of his own family hurriedly walked in, and said in a low voice beside him: "Master, the young master of the second room came to our house and said that he was coming to visit the eldest lady." ”

Although Chong Ruifeng was a little drunk, his mind was still quite clear, and he was alert when he heard this: "You want to drive him away, I'll go see the eldest lady." ”

Thinking about his recent calculations, it was best to settle the dust before the end of the Guining Banquet, so he hurriedly got up and rushed to the big Bai family's house.

The smell of blood in Bai's room could not be eliminated even if it had been washed several times, her originally bulging abdomen had dried up, and she looked more and more old and haggard, leaning on the bed with a dead face.

After Chong Ruifeng entered her room, his face changed, but he still sat beside her, and said with rare gentle relief: "Don't be too sad, yesterday's incident was an accident, I can't blame you for not protecting the child, no one thought that the night cat would pounce on someone and make you lose your child." ”

Seeing that Bai didn't answer, he sighed to himself: "This is also because you have no chance with this child in your life, but fortunately you still have Sister Li, if she marries well, you will have a dependency in the future." ”

Bai Shi quietly glanced at him, as well as Aunt Wang who followed behind him, and then indifferently turned his head and said nothing.

Chong Ruifeng saw that she didn't answer, his face was a little unbearable, but he still continued: "Now that the eldest brother is gone, the one in your stomach has not been kept, there is only one Sister Li you can rely on, we have been married for many years, I plan to help Sister Li find a good family to marry, and you can rely on it in the future." ”

Bai's body sat up straight suddenly, staring at him with wide eyes: "Who are you going to marry Li'er?" ”

Chongrui Feng said with a smile: "It's a decent family, the family has a lot of money, and it's in our county, if you miss it, you can visit it at any time." ”

Bai Shi was still staring straight into his eyes, his fingers holding the quilt were white, and his voice was a little empty and sharp: "What is that family?" ”

Chong Ruifeng faced such a gaze, he was a little weak-hearted, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, but Aunt Wang said with a smile: "Mrs. Hui's words, it is Mrs. Wang's son, my maiden cousin." ”

She covered the corners of her mouth with a hundred flowers and silk and chuckled: "Madam also knows that the Wang family has a lot of money, and the family is also kind and kind, and it is also her blessing that the sixth girl can marry her." ”

The man in the Wang family who had not yet married was not the only fool left, she leaned forward and grabbed Chong Ruifeng's wrist, and every word seemed to pop out of her teeth; "Master, is what she said true?"

Seeing Chong Ruifeng nodding, she screamed, "I don't agree!" ”

She gritted her teeth, her cheeks bulged, and she said after a while, "The youngest son of the Wang family is a fool, he even eats and drinks and is served, and he hurts people at every turn, and scolds people with foul language, Li'er, she is also your biological daughter, can you bear to watch her ruin like this for the rest of your life!" ”

Chong Ruifeng saw her objection, and said in a deep voice: "It's just a fool, the Wang family is rich, as long as you let Li'er coax him well, won't all the family wealth he can share in the future belong to Li'er?" ”

Bai Shi thought that his only daughter was going to marry a fool, and his heart and liver trembled in pain, and he changed his weak temperament in the past, and he got up with his sick body and smacked him hard: "You beast who has lost all your conscience and desires, you are worthy of being a father like you?" Li'er is your own flesh and blood, you want to push her into the fire pit! ”

Chong Ruifeng was scolded angrily, but the Bai family is a mother, and if this marriage is to be concluded, she has to help handle it, and he is not easy to scold.

Seeing this, Aunt Wang hurriedly said: "Madame's words are wronged to the master, Sister Li is the master's own flesh and blood, he naturally inquired before marrying someone, although my cousin is an idiot, but also knows that he is distressed, the Wang family is courteous and courteous, and treats people kindly, my cousin is also a hot and cold person, Sister Li is naturally blessed to marry in the past." ”
