"Don't worry." Chen Houyun accompanied Shen Rouning out of Yuyin Hall, walked slowly into the Companion Moon Pavilion, and stood by the mountain rock by the water pavilion.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the pond of clear lotus, the fragrance was faint, and the dull atmosphere of this windless evening was slightly removed, and the mood was a little lighter.

"Ah Ning." Chen Houyun thought for a while and said, "Yesterday, the female dependents of Ping Wuhou came over, because of what, you should know?" ”

Shen Rouning nodded.

Chen Houyun glanced at her face, and saw that she did not suffer from gains and losses because of this, and his heart was a little lighter, and said, "You probably feel it too, Mrs. Hou's attitude towards you is a little strange?" ”

Shen Rouning smiled: "Cousin, I don't think everyone must like me." "Then Mrs. Ping Wuhou doesn't seem to be very happy with her, but what does that matter? She is just an ordinary person, even if she is good-looking, not everyone necessarily likes it.

Chen Houyun also smiled.

The little girl he taught really wouldn't let him down.

He pursed his lips slightly, hesitated, and still explained: "Ping Wuhou was pulled up by the emperor. He has some abilities, but there are more people in the army than he has. In the previous battle to destroy Jin, in addition to Qin Xu and Deng Changnian, he grabbed the most military merits. You know, it's a lot of fun. ”

He squinted his eyes and smiled: "At that time, the plan was formulated, the prelude was successfully completed, and when it was the turn of the army to play, everyone could see that as long as he was not a useless fool, as long as he could follow the military orders and make great achievements." It's ironclad. Qin Xu had the Duke of Qin Mansion behind him, and Chen Houji was with him, so he grabbed the most tasks, and it later proved that he also had the most military merits; Deng has been supported by the Mingyi Houfu for many years, and I have also let the old man take care of him secretly, so he has also earned many tasks and many credits; When it comes to General Qi, if he can stand out from a kind of general, it is the emperor's care. Sure enough, he sealed it. ”

"I looked it up later. I knew. It turned out that Ping Wuhou was a guard in the Three Princes' Mansion. ”

"Yesterday, after he returned home, he entered the palace overnight and asked to see the emperor, and today he went to court. Then a minister raised the matter of the draft. Chen Houyun's smile condensed slightly. "So I thought." That lady Hou came to see you at the house, but she actually had other plans. She saw you, and then Pingwu Hou entered the palace. And then there's the draft for this morning...... Push back in this order, Ah Ning, what can you think of? ”

Shen Rouning has been listening very carefully.

Hearing Chen Houyun ask at this time, she thought about it and said, "Mrs. Pingwuhou, have you seen my mother?" Sister Qi seems to have told me that Mrs. Hou is not from the capital. "Mrs. Ruohou is not from the capital, but just a child of the rivers and lakes...... She actually saw Miss Chen back then, and she never forgot it, which is indeed a little strange.

Even later she married Ping Wuhou, who was once Emperor Qinglong's bodyguard, knew the situation back then, and instructed his wife...... But later, Miss Chen married far away, just by verbal narration, how do you know the specific appearance? As soon as you see yourself, you ......

Chen Houyun bowed slightly: "This is exactly what I think is strange. He put his hands behind his back, smiled, and said softly, "Maybe there will be a big secret here." It's just that he thought that the secret was too shocking, and it was difficult to investigate it thoroughly.

Therefore, he will not make small moves for the time being.

These, don't have to say this to Shen Rouning. Chen Houyun smiled and said, "Ah Ning, rest early." Wake up tomorrow in the morning and let the achievements send you. ”

Shen Rouning let out a "hmm".

The next morning, the weather became more and more dreary, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

Shen Rouning said goodbye to the Chen family, and under the escort of Chen Houji, he left the capital in a carriage. Chen Houwen stood on the windowsill of a private room in a teahouse, watching Shen Rouning's carriage drive past the long street, and his handsome face gradually turned a little pale.

A piping hot tea, no longer hot.

He settled the bill, walked out of the teahouse, bought two books from the bookstore, and slowly walked back to Chen's mansion. Walked back to his yard.

"Brother, why did you come back!" Chen Houqi saw him, walked over and said, "Don't you know that Cousin A Ning is leaving this morning?" Didn't send one to her! ”

"I'm a little bit of a little bit of a delay." Chen Houwen said: "Didn't the second brother happen to be at home with nothing to do?" With him escorting, it was much more suitable than me. ”

After talking to Chen Houyun that day, he found an excuse to avoid the city. I came back last night but didn't come home. In his heart, he was still very disappointed in Shen Rouning, and there was anger and pain in the disappointment, so that he could no longer face Shen Rouning calmly, so he could only avoid it.

"The second brother is the second brother." Chen Houqi said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, I have grown up so big, and I have never been out of the capital much. Originally, I thought if I could go to my aunt in Xuzhou Mansion, but brother, you are not at home, and I don't dare to mention it to my grandfather. ”

The Chen family is all male.

And Chen Houyun and Chen Houji are so good, Chen Houwen in the second room and Chen Houqi's sense of presence are much lower. Even if the old man treats everyone equally, Chen Houqi is a little afraid to ask the old man to make a request, for fear of causing trouble to the family. If he could bring Chen Houwen with him, he would definitely be much bolder.

Chen Houwen looked at Chen Houqi and said, "What are you anxious about." In another two years, even if you don't mention it, the old man will drive you out to travel. Brother, you're not like me, you don't have any strengths. You have a talent and aura in calligraphy, and you like it yourself, so you should lay a good foundation now. In this way, when you travel in the future, you can have a great effect and a great harvest. ”

Chen Houqi's face was a little pale when he heard this, and he said, "I know." ”

He said goodbye to Chen Houwen, and was walking a little unwillingly on the road, but suddenly someone grabbed his arm, and was about to struggle, but when he saw that it was the second wife Chen, Chen Houqi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Mother, what are you doing here?" Suddenly came out and scared me! ”

Second Mrs. Chen glanced at Chen Houwen from a distance, and while motioning to Chen Houqi to whisper, she pulled him to the side of the bamboo forest path, and asked in a low voice, "Qi'er, what were you talking to your brother just now?" ”

"I didn't say anything, I just asked him why he came back, and he missed even the time to send Ah Ning's cousin." Chen Houqi said.

Second Mrs. Chen hurriedly asked, "Then what did he say?" ”

"He just said something about it, and delayed for a while." Chen Houqi saw that Mrs. Chen's second wife was acting strangely and asked, "Mother, what do you want to know?" "He's missing his father a little.

Second Master Chen left Beijing 20 days ago. After experiencing the malaise and sadness of the first few days, Mrs. Chen finally relieved herself and began to be active. It's just that her activity is really unbearable sometimes. (To be continued.) )
