Chong Ruifeng snorted, the tea bowl slammed the table, and the amber tea soup spilled out: "Now that the streets and alleys have spread, saying that you have some unclear relationship with that Jiang Xiucai, do you still want to deny it?!" His face was gloomy: "If you are fine, why do you go to his house a few times, and what are the things he gave you, isn't it a private gift?!" ”

Chonglan's heart moved slightly, and his face was still faint: "Uncle also knows that the Jiang family and our family are neighbors and are familiar with each other, and it is better to have such an old neighbor to move around than to deal with those two-faced people." She looked at Uncle Chong intentionally or unintentionally, and his face was on fire, so she withdrew her gaze: "I went to his house to accompany my second brother to walk around, and I heard that Aunt Jiang was seriously ill last time, so I brought medicinal herbs to visit. ”

Chong Ruifeng took a deep breath: "There is no wind and no waves, this kind of gossip is spread out by you, it is all mishandled by you, now the gossip has been spread, the Chong family can't afford to lose this person, what are you going to do?" ”

Chong Lanpi glanced at him with a smile, lowered his head and said shyly: "I know Jiang Xiucai's family background, although he doesn't have much money, but he is a kind family, and he has a fame, and he has never married a wife, if it really doesn't work."

Chongrui was upset, he was worried about the family property in the second room, how could he be willing to marry someone else? Interrupted directly: "No! He snorted angrily: "You and him are already unclear, marry him at this time, what do others think?" Isn't it true to the rumors! ”

Chonglan spread her hands helplessly: "Do you want your niece to shave her hair and be a sister-in-law to be clean?" ”

Chong Ruifeng was overjoyed, and said with a relaxed expression: "That's not necessary, you are my niece, and I can't bear to see you go to a dead end." I have a candidate here, your Aunt Wang's maiden brother is twenty-nine this year, and I look good at it, and he is a good match for you. ”

Aunt Wang is Chong Ruifeng's concubine, Chong Lan sneered: "It turns out that the uncle is waiting for me here, no matter how bad I am, I won't marry a concubine." She raised her eyebrows suddenly: "If I really listen to the uncle's words, I will be a relative of the uncle's concubine from now on, and the uncle has a good calculation, can I still raise my head in the clan in the future?!" ”

Chong Ruifeng endured his anger and said: "You are seventeen now, how can you choose!" ”

Chonglan sneered: "What if you are seventeen, I don't want you to raise it, let me marry, I don't have any property with me, I will stay in the second room, and I will leave the house!" ”

Chong Ruifeng slapped the table hard and stood up suddenly: "You! ”

He stood up fast, Chonglan was faster than him, he covered his forehead and fell back, Qingge hurriedly stepped forward and exclaimed, "Oops, it's not good!" Miss's old illness has recurred, so please ask the doctor to come. She saw the opportunity very quickly, and while supporting Chonglan, she said to Chong Ruifeng with tears: "The doctor instructed the third lady not to be angry when she is sick, and she has to live well. ”

Qingyun had a pungent temperament, and said directly: "Looking at our young lady's accident, who can fall into the benefit, I really don't know what An's thoughts are!" ”

In a few words, Chong Ruifeng was convicted of a vicious elder with bad intentions who wanted to use rumors to force his niece to occupy the family property, Chong Ruifeng was so angry that he trembled, and wanted to find someone to theorize, calling someone in the house, boiling medicine, Chonglan was dizzy again, he saw that no one paid attention to the left and right, so he could only leave the next sentence: "Be careful of the questions in the clan, I will see how you end up then!" Then he flicked his sleeves angrily.

Chonglan saw him walking away, so he slowly straightened up from the couch and looked in the direction he left without saying a word. Qingyun was anxious, and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't take it to heart, maybe he heard his ears and came to you again to talk nonsense." ”

Chonglan shook his head slowly: "What he said is very clear, it doesn't seem like hearsay, but it seems to know something." After she finished speaking, she pressed her forehead and said, "There is nothing about me and Jiang Xiucai, but there are not many people who know about it, where did he hear about it?" ”

Everyone couldn't guess why, just as Xi Xuetian heard that her condition was worsening, she hurried over, heard her question, and muttered: "If the owner doesn't mind, I'm willing to check it for the owner." ”

Chonglan smiled: "I was about to trouble you, but it happened that you sent it to the door." ”

Xi Xuetian smiled slightly, his eyes swept in the room, Chonglan understood, raised his hand and motioned for everyone to go down, and then he spoke: "This matter is always bad for the reputation of the owner, in case it spreads to the clan, it is not too big or small, it is also a troublesome matter, has the owner thought about how to deal with it?" ”

Chonglan tilted his head and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Xi Xuetian's heart jumped a few times, and he still said calmly: "Although Jiang Gongzi is good, he doesn't have to be him, the owner is better to cut off contact with him for the sake of reputation, and when others ask in the future, you will also have your own explanation." ”

Chonglan glanced at him thoughtfully, she felt that Xi Xuetian seemed to be quite disliked for Jiang Xiucai at the beginning, but she didn't know why. She paused for a while before sighing: "If it's because someone else said a few words, I will keep it straight, and this will make people suspicious." ”

Xi Xuetian's heart sank, and he still smiled calmly: "What the owner said is also reasonable, let's find out the people who spread the rumors first." ”

Chonglan hummed, seeing that the tea in his hand was already cold, and he was about to call someone to serve him new tea, when he saw Qingyun running in in a hurry, panting and saying, "Little, miss, someone is making a fuss at the gate of our mansion!" ”

Chonglan was stunned, and took a few steps forward to give her relief: "What are you anxious about?" Slowly, who is making a fuss at our house, why? ”

Qingyun coughed a few times and eased her throat: "One of them is Jiang Gongzi, and the other" She squirmed, blushing and said: "The other one doesn't know who it is, I only know that it is for Gongzi, but he came in a carriage, I took a look when the wind lifted the curtain just now, and he looks good, better than the person in the painting." ”

Chonglan listened to what she said, and was about to call someone to ask carefully, when she saw Qingge walk in, glared at Qingyun before saying, "It's Lord Yan and Yan from Qi Guofu, I heard what the porter said, it was he and Gongzi Jiang who had a quarrel." ”

Chonglan and Xi Xuetian glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, she was a little inexplicable in addition to shock: "Why did they make trouble?" ”

Qingge handled the matter properly, asked in great detail, and replied in the original place: "I don't know why Lord Yan came to the door, but Jiang Gongzi heard that you were in distress and fell into the water and came to visit, and when you were outside, the attendant brought by Lord Yan accidentally bumped into Jiang Gongzi, and joked that he was weak, so Jiang Gongzi was annoyed and scolded Lord Yan for indulging in the murder of slaves and being rich and unkind." ”

Chonglan frowned and thought for a while: "Lord Yan shouldn't be such a stingy person, how did they make trouble?" ”

Speaking of this, Qing Ge was also ridiculous: "Lord Yan didn't respond, Jiang Gongzi said a few sour words, and dragged a few sentences, saying that Lord Yan was a 'stupid beetle', and the attendants he brought stopped doing it, and scolded, 'Our lord is the holy hand-picked Tanhua, the commander of the royal seal, what are you a weak chicken', Jiang Gongzi was not convinced, so he barred him outside. ”

Chonglan pressed her eyebrows with a silk, and Qingge didn't care about her and said that this Jiang Rong's strength was too small, and she couldn't see that others were stronger than herself. But it's not a problem to make trouble like this, she hurriedly walked out, and when she left the mansion, she saw Jiang Rong being forced to the ground and being slapped by someone, and her face was swollen.

Yan He only lightly ordered 'palm mouth', and the few guards he brought raised their slaps and moved their hands, she was dumbfounded, and when she came back to her senses, she asked dishappily, "What do you mean, my lord?" ”

Yan He raised his hand slightly, and several attendants immediately stopped: "I have something to look for you." ”

Chonglan saw that he didn't get to the point, and his face became even more ugly: "Who asked this?" When an adult beats my guest at the gate of my house, who is he calling? I asked myself, if you have never offended adults, why did you slap me in the face like this? ”

Yan He saw that she was not blindly weak, and Yu Ling was a little stiff in addition to her eight-faceted long, he smiled a little, and said slowly: "I didn't know that he was your guest first, so I was offended." ”

He admitted that he was rude, and Chonglan was not easy to hold onto, turned his head to see Jiang Rong's injury, ordered someone to help him up, and said apologetically: "It's me who didn't entertain him well, so the son will come to my house to take medicine first." ”

Jiang Rong originally saw that she went to talk to Yan He first, and she was a little unwilling to be annoyed, but when she saw that she cared about her injury, she relieved her expression, covered her face and confessed her guilt, and was helped into the house, and looked at Yan He halfway through, and said indifferently: "This son also reads sage books, don't you know what it means to be a guest?" Hitting me is a trivial matter, and if you make it ugly to the master's house in public, then you are a villain! ”

What he meant by this was to let Chonglan shut Yan He out of the mansion, he didn't look at Jiang Rong, he just looked at Chonglan with a smile: "Then I don't know if Boss Chong is willing to let me, a villain, enter the mansion?" ”

Chonglan gathered the jacket on his body, and used this action to hide the embarrassment on his face, but Xi Xuetian saw the embarrassment on his face, stepped forward and said: "Both of you, please come into the house, but there is a little misunderstanding, let our host mediate, and it will be natural to say it." ”

Chonglan nodded and made a gesture of please: "Please, two of you." ”

Jiang Rong was angry, and it was not good to let go of the beauty and walk away, so she could only cover her face and walk in, Yan He stepped on the footstool and got out of the carriage, looked at Xi Xuetian as if nothing, and slowly walked in.

Jiang Rong entered the main hall, sat on the east seat with a golden sword, and then looked at Yan He coldly, it didn't matter, I only saw him with a handsome face and outstanding demeanor, and secretly scolded the scum.

Chonglan pretended not to see his displeasure, sat down at the bottom, gave up the position of the leader, and ordered someone to take the best medicine and hand it to him with his own hands.

Jiang Rong saw the beauty's plain hand handed in front of her, and the medicine bottle she took seemed to have a wisp of incense, and the fire in her heart was suppressed a lot, and she said softly: "I heard that you met a robber a few days ago, and after being frightened, you fell ill again, so I came to visit you this time." He took out the oiled paper bag carried with hemp rope from his arms, and said with a smile: "I ran several streets to buy it, and your favorite hibiscus lotus seed cake when you were a child." ”

This is too ambiguous, not to mention that there are other people present, Chonglan's face remains unchanged, but he just ordered Qingge to take it: "Jiang Gongzi has a heart, but my taste has changed a lot over the years, and I have long stopped eating this snack." ”

She thought about the gossip outside, afraid that Jiang Rong would say something, so she hurriedly turned to Yan He and said: "I have been sick these days, and I have not been able to see the adult, and now I let the adult come to the door in person, it is my fault, but I don't know what you want to order?" ”

Yan He quietly pressed the tea foam with the lid of the bowl, and slowly lowered his long eyelashes after taking in the bottom of his eyes, and only put down the tea cup after listening to her question, holding the corner of his lips and smiling a little meaninglessly: "I heard that you have been looking for something these days, and it just so happened that I ordered someone to find it, this is another tight object, and it is inconvenient to send someone here, so I have to go in person." ”

Chonglan was confused, not knowing what he was talking about, and asked in a daze: "I don't have anything missing, I" She suddenly thought of something, her face suddenly turned red, her hands in her sleeves were twisted together, and she raised her eyes and looked at him in embarrassment and surprise.

Yan He looked calm, brought out a rosewood box and handed it to her: "Why didn't you lose it?" Isn't that it? ”

The rosewood box was wide, and a faint sound could be heard when she shook it slightly, she felt that it was that thing, her whole face was red and white, and the five visceral temples were churning wildly, and she held back a sentence for a while: "Thank you for your trouble, it's not an important object, if you lose it, you will lose it." "Every word seems to be squeezed out of between the teeth.

Yan He sighed, and there was a bit of banter on his face: "It's that I'm nosy, but don't you open it and take a look, see if there's anything missing?" ”

How does this open her? Chonglan pursed her lips: "No need, my lord, I can naturally trust it." ”

Fortunately, he didn't force her to open it, and with a chuckle, he lowered his head and drank tea by himself, not like he was going to leave.

Jiang Rong looked left and right, and when she saw Chonglan's blushing appearance, her heart couldn't help sinking, but she still couldn't help asking: "The third lady and this adult seem to be familiar with each other, I don't know when they met?" ”

Chonglan replied before Yan He: "There is a deal on the official face to discuss with Lord Yan. She couldn't help but look at the box again, and wanted to order someone to take it down, but she felt like a thief and didn't care about it.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Rong felt that she was reluctant to let go, so she was even more surprised, got up and said with a smile: "Last time, the tonic sent by the third lady, my mother ate a lot more briskly, and she has never been able to find a chance to thank the young lady. ”

He didn't wait for Chonglan to answer, he took the purple clay pot to pour tea, and with a casual flick of his wide sleeves, the rosewood box sat on the ground with a 'bang', and a pair of delicate embroidered shoes inside immediately rolled out, which was the pair she lost by the river that day.
