The Chen family and the Chen mother and daughter made an appointment to ride horses on the Zhuangzi outside the city, and it was a fixed hour. I never thought that Chen Jue took his family to Zhuangzi first, and they all ran back with their daughters, and Chen's mother and daughter did not come. I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so I had to send the boys all the way into the city along the official road to find out the news.

The Chen family servants promised to return on horseback. After walking less than five miles, he met the carriage of the You family and the little son and wife who followed the car, as well as the saint and the prince and his party. Although the little servants of the Chen family didn't know the identities of the saint and his party, they were all startled when they saw that they were freshly dressed and angry, and the guards behind them were very noble with long knives on their waists.

Originally, he wanted to go back to report it, but unexpectedly, the twelve princes urged him to be narrow, and he detained everyone and did not let them go back to "ventilate the news", and only said that he wanted to make Chen Qi "surprised". Everyone couldn't, so they had to come forward to ask Chen's instructions.

The Chen family also knew the identity of the saint and the others, and his heart was surprised, happy, panicked and confused, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Seeing this, Third Sister You had to order everyone to obey the orders of the Twelve Princes.

So when Chen Qi waited for the left and right to wait for it, and finally waited for the Chen mother and daughter to arrive in Zhuangzi, they were not dumbfounded when they saw the sage prince and the princes who followed them.

When you see this scene, you are more and more embarrassed. All the way to control the horse leisurely, but see that although the scenery in the village is not as delicate as the Huangzhuang, it is also the golden rice of the grain, divided into acres, the vegetables are lush, the chickens and dogs bark, the village husband and the village women serve the fields, the weeping children run and play, and the mountains and fields are full of interest. Seeing this, the saint couldn't help but perk up, and said with a smile: "It's a little interesting. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but open their mouths to echo it. The third prince said with a smile: "The sunrise and the sunrise are resting, leisurely, and there is no quarrel with the world. ”

Chen Qi led the horse for the saint all the way, and when he heard this, he smiled disapprerovingly, and directly led people to the main hall of the upper room in the village, and ordered people to offer tea. I only heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smile and said: "I just heard Chen Shan say that Zizhang's family went out of the city this time to have a family reunion. We came in a hurry, but it was disturbed. ”

Chen Qi heard what the twelve princes said at first glance, and he was still a little confused. immediately reacted, and had to laugh and say some humble words such as "fluffy and shining".

But he never thought that His Royal Highness the Prince's words had attracted the attention of the Twelve Princes. He subconsciously glanced at the people around him, but he didn't see Chen's mother and daughter, so he had to ask.

Chen Jue replied with a smile: "The ladies of the back house are all in the wing room. ”

Originally, they were all riding horses in the backyard and laughing, but as soon as the nobles entered the Zhuangzi, they restrained their families. Chen Jue had to order someone to send the ladies back to the room, so as not to turn their heads when they got it, and it would be bad if they collided with the nobles.

"Oh? All went to the back house? The third prince listened to Chen Jue's words, and smiled unconsciously, because he said: "But Chen Shan and Zhang Hua are not female dependents, are they also in the wing?" ”

Before a word fell, the third prince began to make fun of Chen Jue's bad eyes again. Chen Qiyuan was still puzzled, so he heard the third prince mention that Zhang Hua skipped school and went to the gambling house to gamble. Yin smiled again: "I didn't expect Lord Chen to be clever and talented, but the niece and son-in-law he chose were so unbearable." What a shame. ”

And so the people had just said that. But at that time, everyone sighed. At this moment, the third prince mentioned it in front of Chen Jue again, I am afraid that the meaning will be different.

Chen Qi frowned without a trace. After a few jokes, the matter was reversed. Unexpectedly, the twelve princes still asked about "Chen Shan" with great interest, and asked Chen Qi if he knew that "Chen Shan" was proficient in gambling and was the best at throwing dice.

Chen Jue's heart sank when he heard this, and he had to apologize to everyone: "My nephew's daughter is young and stubborn, but it makes all the nobles laugh. ”

When the Twelfth Prince heard this, he smiled and said, "I know she is your niece's daughter." I met once during the Shangyuan Festival that year, and it still makes me remember it vividly. But I didn't expect this goodbye to be even different. ”

Isn't it different? At least they have lived for so many years, and they have not seen a boudoir daughter dare to wear men's clothes to gamble against gamblers on the street. It's rare that every move is fat-free powder, and at first glance it looks like a kid cast the wrong fetus.

Chen Jue's face turned pale when he heard this, and he didn't know whether the words of the Twelve Princes were positive or derogatory. After thinking about it, I had to laugh and ignore it. Seeing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no choice but to relieve the siege for his henchmen, so he said with a smile: "Ling's nephew's daughter is a cool man, although she doesn't meet much, but she has chivalrous deeds when she meets twice, which shows that her character is noble and noble, and she is really not inferior to a man." ”

The words fell, because he thought of the "fierce record" of the third sister You when she was four or five years old, even His Royal Highness the Prince, who relieved Chen Qi, couldn't help but praise the "heroine". When Chen Qi heard this, he smiled more and more bitterly. I don't know what the fate of the third sister and the royal family is, how can they be bumped into by the saint father and son every time they do something out of Ge'er?

Could it be that this is the proverbial saying that the cone chestnut has to stand out?

Chen Jue secretly sighed, but he didn't know that when everyone was talking about Third Sister You, the ladies of the Chen family were also talking about the saints and his party.

Because Chen and Second Sister You are wearing hairpin skirts, for the sake of reputation, it is not good to meet foreign men lightly. Therefore, this time I was not able to greet the saint prince in person. However, her mother and daughter were sitting in the carriage, but when they heard the words of the sage and the princes asking Third Sister You, they couldn't help but talk: "The nobles all praise the third sister for doing a good job." The saint also said a few words to the third sister in person. It's a pity that the third sister is still a daughter's family. It's not easy to get out of the way today. If the third sister can give birth to a boy, she will be admitted to the imperial examination in the future, and maybe she can earn back a lady for me! ”

One sentence reminded Third Sister You, and she hurriedly said: "It's a pity that I am studying in school today, and Cousin Huan wants to study with peace of mind, and he can't come with us." Otherwise, take advantage of this opportunity to show your face in front of the saint, and the future will be unpredictable? ”

When everyone heard this, they were moved. Feng Shi smiled busily: "I don't know how sooner or later the saint and his party will leave." If you are not in a hurry, you can ask Brother Hua to take a day off and come over? ”

Mrs. Chen is most concerned about her grandson's future. Hearing this, he immediately smiled and said, "If you can't leave, what's the matter." He should call him over to relax, and he is comfortable. According to me, don't force him to be nervous, the last time he didn't hit the autumn, Brother Huan'er didn't feel good. But you forced him to continue studying. I can't say anything if you discipline your children. Only this time there is this opportunity, let's not seize it, won't we regret it later? ”

When Third Sister You heard this, she also smiled and persuaded: "Isn't it." Books can be read every day, but how many times can you have the opportunity to face the saint in your life? I just came back with the saint, but it was not easy for me to go back to the city to report the news. Uncle Zi is busy entertaining the nobles, why don't we send a kid back to the city to spread a word? ”

When the crowd heard this, they clapped their hands and applauded. For a while, Feng Shi instructed a little girl to go to Chen Qi's henchman Chen Li to spread the word. Unexpectedly, after a while, the little girl came back and said with a disappointed face: "The slave went to see Steward Chen, but Steward Chen didn't ask anyone to pass the word. It was only said that it was ordered by the master, and the whereabouts of the saint were not allowed to be revealed. ”

When everyone heard this, they were stunned. Third Sister You reacted immediately, and couldn't help but praise Chen Jue for her clever handling and tactful methods. Deng Shi said with a smile: "Uncle, this is a melon field and plum, you have to avoid it." But I thought about it for a while, and I almost missed my uncle's business. ”

Although she has good intentions, she wants to give her cousin Chen Hua some future. However, the saints and princes have a noble status, and this time they came in small convincing, if they suffered any cholera because of the leakage of the news from the actions of the Chen family, wouldn't the Chen family become their crime to be punished?

Therefore, Chen Qi would rather give up this opportunity than joke about the safety of the saint. In the eyes of the sage, it is to seek the overall situation and not personal gain, which is also the foundation of Chen Jue's quest for power in the world.

Compared with Chen Qi, the pattern of Third Sister You is still smaller. There are some who don't think about it so much for a while.

Mrs. Chen has always loved the third sister the most, and when she heard this, she hurriedly patted the third sister's hand and smiled: "You are also thinking about your cousin's future." This time, he doesn't have the blessing to do so. It's a pity that your cousin didn't hit the autumn this time, so our family will go to Xu's house to propose marriage...... No matter how you say it, where does Xiucai Gong have the identity of a good man. ”

However, this marriage cannot be delayed. After all, autumn is once every three years. Chen Huan is seventeen years old this year, and the eldest girl of the Xu family is also fifteen years old this year, and both families can't afford to delay.

Fortunately, the ancients had a cloud to start a family, and first married their granddaughter-in-law for their grandson, and then the title of the cave house flower candle gold list and even the joy of the noble son came one after another, which is not bad.

Everyone also knew what Mrs. Chen meant. Busy smiling and saying some auspicious words to beg for lip service.

Only the Chen family was unhappy, glared at the outside of the wing room very unpleasantly, and deliberately sneered: "Really...... What should have come did not come, but what should not have come came. It's not infuriating! ”

Zhang Hua was sitting alone outside, which was originally a bit like sitting on pins and needles. Hearing what Chen said, he became more and more uneasy. I had to get up and step forward, and bowed down through the soft curtain of oil and green flowers in the room to apologize: "It's all because Zhang Hua is not motivated, which makes my aunt angry, and my sisters are worried." Zhang Hua knew his mistake and asked his aunt to forgive him. ”

A speech aroused Chen's anger, and he scolded angrily with the curtain: "You still know that you are not motivated? Tell me what kind of virtue you are now? For you, your father traveled thousands of miles to Jiangnan to join your Uncle Chen, who was for disaster relief, farming and plague treatment, and wanted to die for the rest of his life. It's easy to compete for a future, but you don't want to fight. Still learning to skip school and gamble? I didn't see what kind of virtue the king was outside the casino today. If you want to go down with all your heart, you can say it as soon as possible, and I will not stop you. It's a big deal that our two families have withdrawn from the marriage contract, and the bridge will return to the bridge road in the future. The daughter of my Chen family just can't get married, and she won't give a scoundrel who can't even afford to support his wife! ”
