Chonglan thought that she would never see him in her life, but she didn't expect to meet her relatives today, she clenched her hands tightly, lowered her eyes and looked confused, but she closed her mouth tightly and did not speak.

He raised his hand slightly, and the soldiers behind him immediately separated Qingge and Qingyun who were going to come to see her, surrounded her, he raised his arms to support her on the wall, trapped her by the wall, and laughed softly: "You don't seem to be very happy to see me?" ”

Chonglan twisted his eyebrows: "This son... I still have something to do, so thank you for saving me. ”

He said, "Childe? ”

Chonglan was silent, and he continued to ask, "Do you still recognize me?" ”

Chonglan's face sank: "If you don't let people go, I will have to report to the official." ”

As if he hadn't heard, his voice became softer, and he said word by word: "Do you still recognize me?" ”

What he wanted to do, he would never give up if he didn't succeed, Chonglan had to look him up and down a few times, and then suddenly said, "It turned out to be General Jiang." She saluted: "I haven't seen you for a long time, please General Jiang." ”

The surname Jiang is the surname of the country, naturally not all ordinary people can have a surname, the law of the Qi Dynasty, the eldest son born to the emperor is the prince, the rest are crowned princes, the eldest son of the prince is named the prince, and the rest are named county kings, and the sons of county kings, except for the crown prince, the rest are named Zhenguo generals. Although this head sounds majestic, he has no real power in his hands, and is just supported by the imperial court.

In the past, when the Chong family was not defeated, it was also a big family, Chonglan's mother and Jiang Yi's mother were cousins, and the two got acquainted, and then he followed the king of Pingle County to the fiefdom, thinking that the plague god was finally gone, but he didn't expect him to return to the south now, it was a nightmare.

Jiang Yi smiled and gently scratched her nose: "Toast and don't eat and drink, little villain." ”

Chonglan tried her best to hold back her discomfort and asked in a respectful and polite tone, "I don't know what happened to the general when he came to Jiangning?" ”

Jiang Yi lowered his eyes: "I was asked to help someone be a male matchmaker." After he finished speaking, he was about to take her hand: "It just so happens that I am very boring, this is where you lived when you were a child, you take me around." ”

Chonglan withdrew his hand: "I still have some things, forgive me for not being able to accompany them, if the general has a parade, my uncle and cousin are also in Jiangning, and they happen to be fine, why don't you ask them to accompany the general around?" "It's best for the big uncle who doesn't need to be perfunctory, anyway, Chong Ruifeng will definitely be happy to accompany the nobleman when he hears it.

The hem of his embroidered bamboo branch dark pattern fluttered for a while, and he looked at her fixedly, the little girl who followed her and called her brother was really gone, she was sleek, sophisticated, and calm.

Still, it's good. He smiled, "Don't be afraid of me. ”

Chonglan didn't talk, lowered his eyes, looked at his nose and nose, and looked at his heart, and became an old monk.

He suddenly raised his hand and asked the attendant behind him to get out of the way: "You go." ”

Chonglan walked quickly to his carriage as if he had been amnestied, and his voice followed him like a shadow: "The next time we meet, I won't let you go so easily." ”

She turned sideways and faced Qingge and Qingyun, her face full of gloom.

The two hired a carriage for her again, and the group set off at this time, Qingge and Qingyun saw that her face was not good-looking, so they didn't dare to ask questions, and they didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they arrived at the Chongfu mansion.

The ancestral house of the heavy family was divided into three by the old lady in the past, and the three rooms of the heavy family were given to one person, and later the three rooms were raided, and the courtyard of the three parties was also demolished, and the courtyards of the big house and the second room were also demolished and built for most of the time, leaving only the small courtyard of the three entrances.

Chonglan first went back to the courtyard of the second room, and she didn't care about the people below, so she ordered someone to take a bath with hot water, and then changed into new clothes, and then quickly took the one she was wearing to burn, and the boredom in her heart went a little, she tidied up again, and walked to the courtyard of the big house.

As soon as she entered the door, she was welcomed into the main hall by her subordinates, Chong Ruifeng waited in the main hall, and said impatiently: "Why are you here so late?" The son of Chen Langzhong's family has arrived, and he is about to pay the levy ceremony. ”

Chonglan said lightly: "Something happened to the carriage on the road, and Uncle Lao is waiting." She smiled again: "I heard that the fourth cousin is about to get married, and the aunt is also pregnant. ”

Chong Ruifeng first showed joy when he heard the first thing, but when he heard the second thing, his face stiffened, and he said vaguely: "What is there to be happy about, your eldest aunt is now forty years old, what if you have an idiot or a cripple in your life?" ”

When Chonglan heard him say this, she scolded the old man for having no conscience, and said with a smile: "The child born must be like an uncle, you are so wise, how can the child born be an idiot?" After she finished speaking, she didn't bother to pay attention to Chong Ruifeng's face, got up and said, "I'll go and see the eldest aunt." ”

Chong Ruifeng didn't know what to think, so he hurriedly stopped: "You wait first, Rou'er is coming over soon, she has been thinking about you recently, you two sisters will talk first." ”

Chonglan frowned, would Chongrou miss her? At this time, a coquettish smile came in from outside the eaves, Chongrou combed her charming bun, held a small golden hairpin with hanging flowers on her head, walked in with a happy face, and held Chonglan's arm affectionately: "My cousin hasn't been here for a long time, but I've been thinking about you in my heart." ”

Most of the Chong family are outstanding, and Chongrouzi is no exception, but the lips are slightly thinner and the chin is sharpened, showing a bit of meanness. Chonglan quietly withdrew his hand: "Recently, there have been a lot of things at home, and I haven't had time to go back to the ancestral house." ”

Chongrou didn't listen to her carefully, but her eyes looked from the eight treasures and pearls on the top of her head to the moire red gold lock hanging around her neck, and then looked at the string of pearl ruby bracelets on her wrists, all of them were high-quality, and any one could be worth the entire set of heads on her body.

She couldn't help but be jealous in her heart, Chonglan was so rich and didn't see a big house to help her, she was really unkind to the rich. She thought about it in her heart, but she still said affectionately and affectionately: "You too, now that the family has a big business, you still need to do everything yourself?" Why don't you leave it to the people below? I don't even have the time to go home, if the people below can't believe it, and what about our own family, can't you believe it? ”

The people at the bottom couldn't believe it, and the people in the big house couldn't believe it, Chonglan didn't answer, just smiled and didn't say anything.

Chongrou's eyes slipped to her dressing jewelry again, raised her hand and touched her hand, and grinned: "Sister, this handpiece is really good-looking, if only I had one." She said with an innocent face, and reached out to take the bracelet on her wrist: "My sister will borrow me to wear it for a few days, and let my sister fill it as a façade, and I will return it to you after the banquet is over in a few days." "She looks like a sister frolicking, which makes people have a seizure.

Chonglan glanced at Chong Ruifeng, and saw that he didn't see it when he lowered his head to eat tea, so he avoided it sideways, pulled his sleeves down, and said slowly: "We are cousins, it's okay if you are so unorthodox, anyway, it can't be transmitted outside." But if you go to your husband's house and take what you like, today I took the hairpin of the east concubine, and Ming'er took the necklace of the sister-in-law in the west, and I am afraid that I will have to be sent back in a few days, not only will my reputation be ruined, but also the reputation of the family. ”

Chong Ruifeng didn't plan to care, but after listening to the latter words, his heart tightened, although he was greedy, he was not a stupid person, and immediately reprimanded: "Things with no rules, have you forgotten the etiquette, righteousness and shame that you have been taught over the years!" If you still don't know the rules like this when you arrive at your husband's house, then they will beat you! ”

Chonglan persuaded him weakly: "Uncle, don't be angry about this, anyway, there are still some times before you get married, just discipline yourself well these days." ”

The young and the young are orderly, and it is okay for her to say this as a sister, Chongrui was annoyed that Chongrou was embarrassed in front of her, and gave a few extra lessons, but Chongrou's face did not look like a girl's, and she didn't even blush when she heard this.

Chonglan was anxious to visit her aunt Bai, but she didn't expect Chongrui Feng to stop her again after training, and ordered someone to bring a cup of tea to clear her throat, and said with a rare and pleasant face: "Your sister is going to get married soon, you sisters have no afterlife in this life, and it will be rare to see you again in the future, she will definitely come to add makeup when you marry in the future, but she is now marrying first, are you...?" ”

Chonglan had long known Chong Ruifeng's goose plucking temperament, and he definitely wanted to mention it, so he took the initiative to laugh and said: "What Uncle said is that my cousin is married, and I, as a cousin, naturally have to add makeup." ”

Chong Ruifeng didn't expect her to be so neat as she promised, her face showed some joy, even Chongrou probed to look, she ordered Qingge to touch the makeup, and said with a smile: "I heard that my cousin is going to get married, so I specially ordered the craftsmen in the city to make this mahogany gold makeup box, a thin gift, and I hope my cousin will not dislike it." ”

This gift is enough to add makeup to the sister, but Chong Ruifeng thought of the family wealth in the second room, it was still too small, and frowned: "This is too..."

Chonglan pretended to be stunned and said, "Don't you like it?" Then I'll take it back. ”

Chongrou thought that she could catch one piece, so she hurriedly pounced on the makeup box and smiled at Chonglan: "Thank you sister for the gift, I am missing a makeup box." ”

The difference between Chongrou and Chong Ruifeng is that he knows that he will accept it when he sees it, Chonglan also laughed casually, and went to the back yard to visit the Bai family after confessing his guilt.

There was a faint noise in the courtyard behind her, and she hurriedly quickened her pace.

Bai now has only one daughter by her side, and she is not favored by her husband, even if she is pregnant, she is not half happy in the hospital, she is panicked, and she opened the curtain and entered the warm pavilion, and saw Bai lying on the bed with his head strangled and wiping his forehead, although his lower abdomen is high and bulging, but he can't stop the sallow skin and old face.

There was a glossy and pink woman standing next to her bed, combing her hair in a bun with clouds, half-blessed, followed by a maid and a woman: "... Mrs. is now pregnant and can't be a family, the concubine is just watching the hard work of the lady's housekeeper, and she is afraid of the fetal gas, so she is kind enough to help the lady housekeeper, and the fifth girl is wronged by the concubine when she says this. "The person who spoke was Chong Ruifeng's most favored Aunt Wang.

The only daughter of the Bai family, Chongli, stood by the bed with a medicine bowl in her hand, and her face was full of anger: "You are just a concubine, why should you take care of yourself on behalf of my mother!" ”

Aunt Wang was determined, but she just covered her mouth and smiled: "This is not the idea of the concubine, the old man has specially instructed, let the concubine help the lady share one or two, and the concubine will not dare to disobey." ”

She gave birth to two children and was still charming and bright, on the other hand, Bai's face was haggard and graceful although she was pregnant.

Chongli heard her move out Chong Ruifeng, and she didn't know how to answer, but she just stubbornly said with her neck stiff: "Dad won't say this kind of thing, it must be your own opinion." ”

It was Aunt Wang's son who won the show, and the daughter Chongrou was going to marry the eunuch again, it was when the spring breeze was proud, where would she be afraid of an unmarried girl, she smiled slightly, very bright, no wonder she could be favored for many years: "If the girl doesn't believe it, you can go to the master and ask." ”

She slapped her waist with her backhand, and her voice was soft and complaining: "The girl thinks that the housekeeper is easy, the concubine has to serve the master in the room at night, and she has to help the lady regulate the maid and the lady during the day. ”

She said this very lightly, and moved everything out of the room to say it, Chongli blushed and spat her hard, but she was embarrassed to say it, for fear that she would say something embarrassing again.

This is what she wanted, and immediately turned her head to Bai, who looked at the bed tent with a blank expression: "You have worked hard." ”

Aunt Wang smiled and said: "It's not hard, for the sake of the lord and the lady, this..." Before she could speak, she was interrupted by Chonglan who came in: "Since Aunt Wang is serving the uncle so hard, then just take a good rest, why bother to find guilt for yourself like this?" ”

When Bai Shi saw her come in, he had a happy look on his face, and struggled to get up, but she hurriedly stepped forward and pressed down.

Aunt Wang had dealt with Chonglan a few times, and she recognized who she was at a glance, so she hurriedly smiled: "Girl's words are a little biased, I am also thinking about Madame's body, you are still an unmarried girl, I don't know the difficulty of pregnancy." ”

She used the same method to block Chonglan's mouth, but she didn't expect Chonglan to just glance at her lightly: "You say I'm biased, are you blaming me?" ”

Aunt Wang knew that this was a powerful one, so she hurriedly waved her hand and smiled: "I didn't say anything, but I was in the way of the master's orders, so I was a little anxious, don't be surprised if you say the wrong thing." ”

Chonglan thought for a while, and said slowly: "You are so bold, you not only blame me, but also bring out the elders to press me at every turn, I didn't expect a slave in the second room to dare to be so domineering." She raised her eyes and looked at the maid who was following Aunt Wang: "Not only that, but I also dare to take someone to trespass into Mrs. Zhengtou's house, I have been a scholar for generations, how can I indulge you in such a thing that doesn't know the rules!" ”

She didn't talk about half of the reason, nor did she say anything about the housekeeper, she made it clear that she wanted to use the topic to play Aunt Wang's sword, Aunt Wang was angry, gritted her teeth and retorted: "The girl is too wide, you are a person in the second room, this is the boundary of the big house, what kind of majesty are you playing!" ”

When she spoke, she saw Chonglan's face turn even angrier, and pointed at her and said, "Okay, good! Even if the big house and the second room are separated, they are still a family, and the blood is thicker than water, what do you mean by that? Is it trying to provoke the relationship between the big house and the second room? ! It's really dampening! ”

Aunt Wang was simply blocked in her throat with a mouthful of old blood, and as soon as Chonglan came up, she found out a few mistakes in her, and she didn't talk about half of the reason, in the past, others couldn't explain it to her, and she felt this way when she first looked back, and she wanted to squeeze it back when she opened her mouth.

At this time, someone outside the house came to report: "Madam, five girls, cousin girl, Chen Gongzi has brought someone to pay the levy ceremony, the master said that the male media brought by Chen Gongzi has children of the clan, I am afraid that our female media will not be enough, please Mrs. and the two young ladies to return the gift in person." ”
