74 Chapter 74

The Bai family has always wanted to say much in front of Aunt Wang, but today is a matter of her daughter's life, she lifted the quilt and said loudly: "It's all from a county, I really don't know what kind of virtue the Wang family is, since the Wang family is as good as you say, why didn't you marry the fourth girl in the first place!" ”

Her whole body trembled due to lack of physical strength, and her empty eyes turned to Chong Ruifeng: "Master, Li'er is your daughter-in-law, you let him marry a fool, aren't you afraid that others will laugh at him?!" ”

Aunt Wang smiled eatingly, with some disgust on her face: "The Wang family wants to kiss us, madam, look at what you said, what kind of fool is not stupid, so wouldn't it be a joke to say that the sixth aunt in the future?" ”

She smiled with apricot eyes, but it was difficult to hide the malice in it: "Besides, Sister Li'er is rude, there are really not many people who are willing to marry, and the old lady of our family is also willing to marry and stay good because of her relatives, how can Mrs. say such ugly words?" ”

Her own son won the fame, and the daughter married into the official eunuch family, and her mother's family was powerful, Chong Ruifeng fell to her again, and then sent out the Chongli who was often against her, even if she couldn't straighten it, it was no different from the grandmother of Zhengtou.

Bai Shi thought of his only daughter, and looked at the smile of Aunt Wang in front of him, slowly let go of his clenched hand, and slapped it hard: "Shut up!" I would never agree to it! ”

She turned to Chong Ruifeng, and said every word very hard: "Don't dream, I'll go and beg Lan'er and them, go and beg the patriarch's wife, as long as I live for a day, you don't want to fiddle with my daughter!" ”

Aunt Wang has been well maintained over the years, and she still looks as delicate as a flower after giving birth to two children, although Bai's strength is not large, but it still makes her fair and delicate face float palm prints. She covered her face and looked at the half-dead Bai Clan, with great hatred in her heart.

After listening to her words, Chong Ruifeng was also angry in his heart, and pushed her away, and said with disgust: "You and I are husband and wife, let me tell you the truth, Bai'er and I have just taken the fame test, and it is the time when we need to make a point, that is, if you win the Jinshi in the future, you have to spend a lot of money to pave the road when you enter the officialdom, you also know the situation of our family over the years, the field shop left by the ancestors is not enough to make ends meet, and your good niece refuses to help half a cent, fortunately, Mrs. Wang is kind and willing to pay a large bride price to marry Li'er, you are not only Li'er's mother, is the wife in charge of the big house, so she should naturally think about the big house. ”

Bai Shi fell on the bed and gasped heavily, barely stood up and spat hard: "You yourself are not good at planning, you can't run the family business, and a few concubines and housekeepers have lost the huge family business, and you actually thought of using your daughter to fill the gap, you can think of it, you are also worthy of being a father!" ”

Chong Ruifeng thought that according to Bai's weak nature, this matter should be negotiated soon, but he didn't expect that after talking for so long, there was no progress, and he couldn't help but be shocked and angry.

Aunt Wang bowed, ignoring the slap marks on her face, and chuckled: "The concubine has also been in the Chongjia for nearly twenty years, and the lady might as well listen to what the concubine has to say." ”

She glanced at Chong Ruifeng softly: "If our family is developed, not only the fourth sister, but also the sixth girl will rely on her husband's family." “

She looked at Bai Shi who was lying on the bed panting for breath with contempt, and said with a smile: "And... Although Brother Bai crawled out of my stomach, but you are always a mother-in-law, no matter how you say it, you have to call you mother, he is now a talented master, if you can get money and open the way, you will have a chance in the future, but you are the one who will be rewarded, this is a great benefit, do you say this is the reason? ”

She finished her dress, thinking about the anger she had just been slapped, she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Don't blame anyone, if you want to complain, you can complain that the whereabouts of the eldest brother are unknown, Brother Bai has a reputation again, this is the one you can rely on." ”

These words were obviously comforting, but in fact, they were poking at Bai's heart, and her throat was so sweet that she almost vomited blood.

"What my aunt said is the Tao, but how can you assert that even if the third cousin gets this money, he will definitely be able to make a profit." Chongyan stepped in with a robe and said indifferently: "You must know that there are people in this world who are born poor. ”

Chong Ruifeng saw Chongyan walk in and was shocked: "How did you get in?!" ”

Chongyan said: "Naturally, it came in, did it fly in?" ”

Chongrui Feng said angrily: "This is our big house's family affairs, the second room of the big house has been separated, we don't need you to take care of our family affairs, now let me go out immediately!" ”

Chongyan said unhurriedly: "When the little sister was seriously ill and the uncle came over to ask for the management of Chong's firm, why didn't he think of the separation of the two rooms of the big house?" ”

His eyes fell on Bai's body, and he bent down to help her up: "Besides, my nephew only came to visit my eldest aunt this time." ”

Chong Ruifeng was choked, but Aunt Wang saw the opportunity quickly, and hurriedly said: "There is still a Guining banquet in the second room, since the eldest young master has visited, let's go back early." ”

Chongyan glanced at her lightly, but turned to Chongrui Feng and said, "When did our Chong family have such rules?" When the master speaks, can the slave and maid also interject? Fortunately, I'm my uncle's nephew, so if outsiders see it, I might laugh at it. ”

Aunt Wang has been accustomed to being majestic in the big house over the years, and she hates others to tell her identity the most, and the fingers she clenches up are white.

Bai Shi finally couldn't help crying, and pulled Chongyan's sleeves and didn't let go: "Good boy, you quickly persuade your uncle, a family like the Wang family, and marrying such a person, how can your cousin marry in the past, and she must not be trampled to death." ”

Chongyan Wen said: "Aunt recuperates with peace of mind, my cousin will be fine." ”

Chong Ruifeng finally came back to his senses: "What kind of package ticket are you playing, the marriage of our children in the big house, what kind of mouth did your nephew in the second room plug in!" Since I have set this marriage for her, even if I tie her up in a sedan chair, I must marry her! ”

Chongyan ignored him, Bai's fingertips trembled, and there were some prayers and hopes in his eyes: "I remember that you went to the scientific expedition with the boss the year before last, and now that you are back, so... And what about him? ”

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Wang's eyes couldn't help but flash. She can gain power all because the whereabouts of Mrs. Masa's son are unknown, and her own children have a future, but if the eldest brother comes back...

Chongyan took a big pillow for her to lean on, and said slowly, "I was about to say this." ”

He said lightly: "At the beginning, my cousin and I went to Beijing to catch the exam, but we encountered a snow disaster halfway, and then there was a rebellion of the homeless people, and the two of us were scattered. ”

Seeing that Bai's face was pale, he handed over a reassuring look, and continued: "I arrived in Beijing last year, and I couldn't wait, so I took the scientific examination first, and I heard that my little sister was seriously ill, so I left a note in the school hall and rushed back first. The day before yesterday, I received a letter from my cousin, he missed the exam with me, and was able to take the next one, and now the results are down, he is the second and twenty-third fellow jinshi, and when I calculated carefully, I just missed him. ”

Aunt Wang's face was innocent, and she didn't care about the etiquette, and said sharply: "How can you prove it?" ”

He didn't look at Aunt Wang, and handed out the letter from his sleeve: "Uncle, take a look." His expression was indifferent: "Excluding the time when the letter was sent, the elder brother should be about to arrive in Jiangning, and when the time comes, I will be very sad to see the eldest aunt so haggard." ”

Bai's face was so excited that he almost burst into tears, and he kept chanting the Buddha with his hands folded.

Chongyan looked at Aunt Wang indifferently: "Who did you just say is the one that aunt can rely on?" His voice was as clear as ice jade: "You have a saying right, the third cousin will be the official and the slaughterer in the future, and that is also the reward of the main room, and it has nothing to do with you, who is a slave." ”

Aunt Wang's face was pale, her body trembled, and she could barely stand. What she relies on is nothing more than her son's fame, now that the boss is not dead, and her future is better than her son, thinking about her methods to the Bai envoy in the past few years, she can't help but feel cold.

Chong Ruifeng is quite good at judging the situation, ranking twenty-three in the second grade, although this achievement is not seriously delayed, but it is a sure thing to be an official in the future, so he took the letter and opened his mouth to order: "Come on, invite a doctor to the eldest lady, so that you will be raised, and you must not be lazy, otherwise you will be exposed!" ”

He turned out to wish that the Bai family would die early, but Aunt Wang was flustered and went over to grab his arm: "Master..."

Chong Ruifeng pushed her away, and angrily scolded the proud person beside him: "Slut, you must abide by your concubine duties in the future, and you must not be rude in front of the eldest lady, otherwise I will sell you to the house immediately, did you hear it!" ”

He sighed at Chongyan: "I've been busy outside these days, and it's inevitable that I've neglected family affairs, and today I made you laugh." ”

Chongyan seemed to have a look of ridicule in his eyes, and arched his hand: "What Uncle said is that in this case, the marriage of the sixth cousin... Why don't you wait for the lobby brother to come back and then discuss? ”

Chong Ruifeng frowned, then stretched out, and said with a smile: "That's nature." ”

Chongyan has always done things neatly, and seeing that the matter has been done, thinking that Chonglan is still waiting for news over there, he rushed directly to the second room.

At this time, the Guining banquet was almost done, and Chonglan was about to go downstairs to talk to Yan He after sending the last batch of guests, when he saw Qingge looking out with his feet on his feet, frowning and worried: "Why hasn't the eldest young master come back yet, don't be the uncle deliberately making things difficult, right?" ”

Chonglan looked at her with a smile: "According to the eldest brother's temperament, he is thankful that he doesn't make things difficult for others, who can make things difficult for him?" ”

Qingge's face turned red: "It's the slave who lost her words." ”

Chonglan fanned her with a silk and looked at her with her cheeks: "There is a saying that care is chaos, am I right?" ”

Qingge was stunned, and immediately knelt down and said, "The girl has seen it, please punish the girl." ”

Chonglan helped her up: "You are so decent, what am I punishing you for?" She glanced at Qingyun, who had not yet figured out the situation, and motioned for her to pour a cup of tea.

She helped Qingge to the side of the stool and muttered: "My eldest brother won't take a concubine, I know this, I'm not the kind of person who has a view of the door, you have been with me for so many years, you are considerate and thoughtful everywhere, as long as he is willing, it is not a big deal to return your deed of sale and let you be a lover to marry him." ”

Qingge's eyes were filled with mist: "Girl..."

Chonglan waved his hand: "It's just that you are the same year as me, the time of our woman's family is short, I can't just watch you go on like this, do you know his intentions?" ”

Qingge was silent for a while, slowly shook her head and said, "The girl is wrong...", she wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk: "I am thinking about the eldest young master in my heart, but I am more worried about the girl, besides, with the appearance of the eldest young master, how can you look down on me?" I just want to stay with the girl and help her, and I'll be content to look at him from time to time. ”

Qingge, this girl is literate and literate, has literature and ink in her stomach, is cautious and wise, and has a degree of progress and retreat, which is not worse than everyone's beauty, but unfortunately it is worse than the body.

She sighed, and didn't dare to persuade again, in case she didn't have this thought, wouldn't she let Qing Gebai have hope, which would be even more torturous.

Qingge still wanted to speak, and was about to go upstairs at this time, and said to Chonglan: "The matter on the eldest aunt's side has been clarified, her child was gone the day before yesterday, and now she is recuperating." ”

Qingge closed his mouth in a panic, and Chonglan got up suddenly: "How can this be, what do the people in the big house do to eat!" ”

Chongyan's face sank slightly: "It was said that he was pounced on the stomach by a night cat, and his aunt was knocked to the ground, and the child was gone all of a sudden." ”

He said indifferently: "But your cousin is about to come back, and it is inconvenient for us to interfere in this matter for the time being. ”

Chonglan hurriedly got up and said, "I'll go and see my aunt." She said suspiciously: "Brother Lobby... Can it be done? No wonder she is puzzled, in her heart, the cousin and the aunt are ordinary people, and they don't have any ideas by themselves.

Chongyan seemed to be very relieved of him, and said with his head bowed: "If he doesn't even have this ability, he won't be able to enter the ranks." ”

Is the two related? Chonglan didn't care about arguing with him, so he hurriedly asked for a doctor and brought supplements to see the Bai family.

This busy was almost in the evening, she easily returned to the second room, and saw that the second room had already been put on the table, her two brothers and Yan He, and the three big men sat at the dining table and waited for her, and when they saw her enter the door, they turned their heads and looked at them together.

She was a little embarrassed, and sneered, "Why don't you eat first?" ”

Chongyan didn't answer, and raised his hand to spread a chopstick silver bud to her: "It's rare for us to get together, so we won't have a separate table for dinner today." ”

She sat down in the vacant seat, and Yan He picked a chopstick with the meat under the shark fin root, and carefully picked out the thorn clip for her, and it seemed that she was also a good eater: "I thought you liked to eat more fish and meat." ”

Chongyan looked at it indifferently, and took a piece of almond tofu with chopsticks: "Fish and meat are fishy, you have eaten some wine today, or eat some light to nourish the stomach." ”

Chonglan's chopsticks just reached into the air: "......"

Yan He and Chongyan looked at her calmly and indifferently, waiting to see who she ate first.

She is now like a man who is splinted by her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, neither of whom dares to help, for fear that the house will be restless if she disagrees, her arm trembled in the air for a long time, and suddenly her hand was loosened, and the two ebony chopsticks fell together.

She groaned, "Why did these chopsticks fall off?" ”

Saying that he wanted to bend down to pick it up, Qingyun was already stupidly holding the new chopsticks to offer his courtesy, and said with a smile: "Don't bother girl, there is a spare one." ”

Chonglan laughed a few times, slowly reached out to take the chopsticks, and was thinking about how to make a thin mud, Leng Buding saw Chongzheng who was eating happily on the side, and was very jealous in his heart, and stepped on him hard under the table.

Chongzheng sighed, and she hurriedly hugged him: "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Is it that you drink too much alcohol and feel uncomfortable? It just so happens that the doctor is here, so I'll take you to see the doctor. ”

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for a positive reaction, pulled him up hard, and pulled him out.

Yan He smiled on his lips, turned his head and ordered: "Take a few samples of the young lady's favorite dishes and send them to the room." He thought for a moment and simply got up by himself: "That's it, I'll send it myself." ”

Chongyan looked at the chopsticks with an expressionless face, don't think he didn't hear it, he added an accent to the three words of the young lady.

Chonglan threw Chongzheng halfway through, ran back to the room to rest, stayed for a while before feeling hungry, and was about to order someone to bring food back.

Seeing that Yan He had already walked in with one hand holding the tray, he put the tray on the table, squinted his eyes and said, "You are walking fast." ”

Chonglan rubbed her sore neck: "You and my eldest brother are like arrogant ladies and tricky mothers-in-law, do you want to stay among you and the mud if I don't leave?" ”

He repeated slowly: "Brutal? ”

Chonglan coughed, and said with a straight face: "My brother has that temperament, don't be like him, in the end, you are the one who wants to accompany me for a lifetime, what is there to worry about with him?" She picked up a few mouthfuls of food at random, and was about to go out for a walk, when he pulled the tapess around her waist.

She turned her head to look, only to find that he had leaned on the soft collapse, dragging her to prevent her from leaving: "Have you eaten enough?" ”

She was stunned, nodded and said, "I ate a little too much, I'll go out for a walk, if you're tired, just rest first." ”

He chuckled at her, his eyes flickering to hook the soul of the person: "I'm in good spirits right now." ”

She thought for a while: "Then let's go out and walk together, and move anyway, stay in the house all day long, and be careful to grow fat." ”

He simply took her over, pressed his face against her soft and smooth lower abdomen, and slowly stroked her back with one hand: "Who said that you have to be outside, you can also change tricks in the house." ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't know what to think, and muttered, "Actually, it's okay outside..."

Chonglan was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and smacked him hard: "It's not dark yet, what are you thinking about in your head, it's okay to take a good look at the official document and suppress your evil fire!" ”

After she finished speaking, she snorted and got up: "Anyway, I'm going to go out for a walk, and when the time comes, the long meat will make people laugh." ”

His hand unconsciously moved up and down her moist softness, and he said in an ambiguous tone: "Not necessarily, I am still happy to see the flesh growing in some places." ”

She slapped him away, and was suddenly pulled by him on the chaise longue, the staggered brackets creaked, and he thought of the tricks on the secret play a few days ago, and his slender fingers had hooked her skirt.

Chonglan climbed on his shoulders with both hands, I don't know whether to push it away or follow, at this time, I heard someone knocking on the door outside, and then Chongyan's voice came in steadily: "Is Nan Nan there?" ”

She was startled, got up in a panic, brushed her hair with a comb, and ran to open the door with a whole dress, Chongyan stood at the door, holding a snack plate in her hand: "I saw that you didn't eat anything, so I picked a few snacks you like." ”

Before Chonglan could speak, Chongyan's eyes had already fallen on the tray, and he laughed at himself: "It seems that I'm late." ”

Chonglan's heart softened, pushed him out a few steps, and the two walked to the eaves, she smiled: "I'm worried that I can't eat." ”

Chongyan sighed, and looked at the room again: "You're not afraid that he will be annoyed." ”

Chonglan Zhengse said: "He has that temperament, don't be like him, I am brother and sister with you, what is there to worry about him?" ”

Chongyan's face softened slightly, handed her the snack plate in his hand, and turned around and left.

She finally coaxed the two uncles, and returned to the room exhausted, when she saw him leaning on her pillow and smiling: "Don't be like him, who is he?" ”

He suddenly leaned over and dragged her to the side of the bed, stretched out his arms in his arms, and pressed her earlobe and said, "Don't you persuade people without changing words?" ”

She felt powerless, and she also knew that she was wrong, so she lay on the couch and let him fiddle with it, and said with a headache: "What are you men thinking in their heads? ”

He leaned around her neck and sniffed, the aroma was as pleasing to him as ever, and he climbed on the jade button on her front with satisfaction, and bit lightly on her slender neck: "Do you want to know?" I'll tell you if you serve well tonight. ”

She thought for a moment, "Then if I say I don't want to know, can you let me go for a walk now?" ”

He rubbed it through his tario-colored coat. Pinched it up, heard her thin gasp, and smiled slightly: "What do you think?" ”

She resigned herself to his neck, and heard another knock on the door outside: "Is Nan Nan still there?" "It's the sound of re-extension again.

Chonglan panicked and wanted to turn over and get up, but he gently pressed it, put his finger on her lips, and went out of the blue gauze cabinet to open the door, silently blocking Chongyan's sight.

Seeing that it was him coming, Chongyan was silent before he said, "Where's the girl?" ”

Yan He's face did not change, he leaned against the door with his chest crossed, and his expression was lazy: "She went for a walk, is there anything wrong with Brother Boyan?" ”

Chongyan shook his head and said, "It's just right, I'm looking for you for something." ”

Yan He raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter with Brother Boyan?" ”

Chongyan also calmly recited nonsense: "I heard that Brother Jin Nian was hit by Tanhua before the weak crown, and he is very knowledgeable, I have a few doubts about the scriptures, and I want to ask you." ”

If he hadn't taken the exam yet, it would be forgivable to ask for advice like this, but now that he has entered the rank of the sergeant, he doesn't have to take the exam again, who will believe him when he comes to ask for advice in the evening? ”

Chonglan originally wanted to come out and take a look, but when he heard that they were Wen Dou and not Wu Dou, he was relieved, and retracted lightly.

Chongyan nodded to show sincerity, and gestured, "Please." Then he walked out with him.
