The second son of the Chen family defeated the little prince of the Qin State Mansion and successfully won the heart of the lord of Mingjia...... Although he didn't dare to talk about it publicly, somehow, almost the entire capital knew about it.

Chaoyan and Bidong had all stayed together in Putuo Mountain at the beginning, so of course they knew more about it. Therefore, Bi Dong smiled and joked, sure that the lord of Mingjia would definitely come.

Shen Rouning didn't blame her, smiled, and looked at the first snow, feeling quite good.

Yesterday, Chen Houyun talked with Chen Houji about the whole story of postponing the marriage, and briefly explained his arrangements and plans to Chen Houji. Shen Rouning was also present. She also got a task, which was to send a post to the lord of Mingjia and invite her to be a guest.

Snow viewing.

That's a good excuse.

In addition, several red plum trees on the bank of the attached nullah are also blooming. Treading the snow to find plums, making tea and drinking wine, is the most elegant thing.

In the afternoon, the county lord of Mingjia drove lightly and came to Chen's mansion.

When Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen appeared, they avoided it with amusement and let the young people talk together. As soon as the two wives left, after everyone admired Xuemei and gossiped again, Chen Houyun said to Chen Houwen: "Houwen, we have something else to say to the county lord, you take Houqi and Brother Rong back first." ”

Chen Houwen was very obedient and immediately led people back. When he saw Chen Houyun's cautious expression, he knew that they were really talking about serious things. Chen Houwen respects Chen Houyun very much, and of course he is very obedient. It's just that I feel a little sad in my heart - it would be nice if my eldest brother could let him stay too.

Second Mrs. Chen heard that Chen Houwen and Chen Houqi had been driven back. I was very unhappy. But today, Second Master Chen did not go to the office, so she didn't go to say that Chen Houwen was not angry for the time being, and went back to the house.

"What's wrong?" Second Master Chen, dressed in homely clothes, was reading half of the Zhiwei novel, glanced at her, and asked casually.

"Houyun asked Houwen and them all to come back." Second Mrs. Chen said.

"Well, it should be that Houyun has something to discuss with the county lord." Second Master Chen's gaze did not come out of the book. Chen Houyun's thinking, he also learned a thing or two.

"If you have something to discuss, can't Houwen help?" Second Mrs. Chen said: "Houwen can't listen to it, why can A-Ning's girl listen?" ”

"The county lord is a girl's family. There's always a girl to entertain you, isn't it? Second Master Chen said: "What's more." It's still a post from Ah Ning to the county lord. After a pause, he spoke again: "The most important thing for Houwen now is to focus on reading...... Nothing else, it's not his turn to worry about it right now. ”

Say so. And so it goes. But I don't like it.

"Will Lord Mingjia really marry Houji?" Second Mrs. Chen muttered a few words in her heart and then opened her mouth again. But she showed some envy and jealousy, and said, "That's the ...... of Lord Mingjia" She immediately realized that Second Master Chen would not like her jealousy, and she was also a little smarter in her eagerness. Remedied: "I'm thinking, we don't know what kind of daughter-in-law we can marry in the future." ”

No matter what you marry, it is impossible to compare with the lord of Shangmingjia. even said that if she could have half of the lord of Mingjia, she would be able to burn incense happily.

When Mrs. Chen thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

"Marry a daughter-in-law of high status...... If your daughter-in-law doesn't respect you in her heart, won't you be angry in your heart? Second Master Chen said indifferently: "Give a county lord to be your daughter-in-law, do you dare to ask for it?" I don't think I can afford it anyway. ”

Yes, if she marries a very high-status and very smart woman as her daughter-in-law, how can she be calm? What if the daughter-in-law there even controls her son and is angry with her openly and secretly? Second Mrs. Chen thought about it, shook her head with a pale face, and hurriedly said: "In the future, if you marry a gentle wife, you must choose a gentle and kind one." ”

Second Master Chen said "um", finished reading the page in front of him, turned another page casually, paused, and said, "There are some arrangements in the yamen...... After the New Year, I'm going to go out to work. ”

This sentence fell on Mrs. Chen's head like a thunderbolt, making her pretty face immediately pale. She didn't care about anything else, she staggered to the second master Chen, grabbed his sleeve, and begged on her back: "The master is leaving again?" Can't you go no? ”

"It's official business." Second Master Chen sighed lightly, patted Second Mrs. Chen's hand, and there was some tenderness in his voice, and said, "It's not that I won't come back." ”

But still have to go.

Look, he's been at home for a long time, and this wife of his seems to be used to not knowing how to cherish it, and he's starting to think about some messy things and want to use his brain again. It's still the New Year, where can he have the heart to listen to her words every day, and explain her? It's better to say that she wants to leave in advance, and she won't care about anything else.

As for the official business of going out, it has not yet been arranged...... The beginning of spring will definitely be properly arranged.

When Mrs. Chen thought that she would not see her husband for a long time, she couldn't hold back her sadness and shed tears.

Second Master Chen looked down at her, and seemed to be a little reluctant, but in the end he was firm. Of course, he doesn't have to do official business. Of course, he can also find a position that does not require him to travel far from home. But......

Big deal, just come back early.

Companion Moon Xuan.

On the water pavilion, only Chen Houyun, Chen Houji, Shen Rouning, and the lord of Mingjia who came to enjoy the snow were left.

"I asked Ah Ning to invite the county lord to come, there are some things that I want to get the county lord's help." Chen Houyun did not beat around the bush, and briefly told the Lord Mingjia about his postponement of the marriage.

When talking about Huang Youxiang's serious illness, Shen Rouning couldn't help but interject: "The county lord doesn't know, Sister Huang really doesn't have a hair anymore...... A good girl's house, suddenly all of a sudden, is it really going to be a sister-in-law? ”

Lord Mingjia was also shocked.

Of course she knew about such a big thing as Chen Houyun's postponement of the marriage. She also knew that it was Huang Youxiang who suddenly fell ill and couldn't make a ceremony. But I didn't expect that there was such an inside story! I actually lost all the hair of a girl's family!

"She is also everyone's best girl, how can she be so vicious!" Lord Mingjia raised his eyebrows and said coldly, very angry: "Ruining people's marriages, she is not afraid of thunder!" ”

In her opinion, it is not wrong for Liao Manru to like Chen Houyun. In fact, there are many ladies in the capital who also secretly admire Chen Houyun. Because Chen Houyun's reputation for talent and learning is there, and the status and conditions of the Chen family are also there, in the entire capital, I don't know how many ladies secretly hope to marry Chen Houyun.

Before Chen Houyun didn't settle for marriage, of course you Liao Manru could fight for it. Even with some small means, the county lord of Mingjia can actually understand it. But since Chen Houyun has already decided to marry and the wedding date has arrived, how can Liao Manru still have such a vicious hand! (To be continued......)
