181 Matters of the heart are hard to tell

Lou Yun moved closer to the couch and fanned the wind, and the wind was filled with the specially smoked man's bamboo leaf incense.

Let her thoughts be hazy.

In the life of this life, there are no planes and trains, and to be an official is to leave your hometown.

Because of the rule of avoiding nationality, people of their own nationality cannot be officials in the local area, and can only be arranged by the Ministry of Officials to work in other places.

Although scholars like Chen Wenchang are exempt from government labor, they also have the habit of traveling to study.

It is very difficult to get fame by studying hard.

Ordinary people cannot be exempted from military service if they have no merit and fame, those who have money pay some exemption money, and those who have no money have to go out during the slack season.

The small people will be recruited by the yamen at all levels of the county, prefecture, and government on a three-year, five-year, or ten-year basis.

They had to bring their own dry food to do water conservancy, palace view, military and other projects.

When encountering a yamen who does not know how to sympathize with the small people, not only do they have to serve every year, but they will also be called to work for the government for free when they are busy with farming.

The life of this era is outside the male protagonist and the female protagonist inside.

The love of this era, that is, "If the two love is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight?" ”

Lou Yun and Chen Wenchang are the same.

"Owner's ......"

Lou Yun could understand the thoughts in her heart just by looking at her eyes, and he hurriedly defended,

"Officials are out of office, and there are three or four out of ten who go to work with their families. If there are no parents in the family, the adults need their wives to fulfill their filial piety on their behalf. Even if he goes out to work, of course, he takes his wife and children with him. ”

He tried his best to hint at his future plans, and knew that the opportunity would not come easily, so he slapped himself a few times and calmed down, "Besides, I was originally born in Xiyi, and I am not afraid that the owner will know, in addition to hunting some prey, I will go out to exchange some salt and cloth in various villages." ”

To put it bluntly, he has been a slave since he was a child, and there are only three things when he goes out of the village:

Hunting, bartering, and then falling in love,

"I can't talk to ...... Like the scholars of various states and counties, they used to go around and meet friends in writing. ”

He asked himself that unlike Chen Wenchang, apart from colluding in deliberations, he didn't like to associate with scholars often.

He couldn't get too close to the officers of the Wuning Army.

Because he was annoyed, they said something about Huayi without concealment.

Although he also regarded the Kingdom of Jin as an enemy.

His ambition is also to assist the official family, recover the old land, and go straight to the Yellow Dragon.

Ji Qingchen suddenly heard him talk about the old things of Southwest Yi, but she was a little interested, she didn't forget it, he talked about Zhao Deyuan in the purple bamboo forest, and actually said that the county lord of Shunchang was like an old man of his.

In addition to the woman you know, what kind of old man can you be?

Lou Yun immediately sensed her alienation and coldness, and he didn't know where he said the wrong thing and offended her plainly.

"The owner of the workshop is also returning from outside, so he must be able to understand the meaning of my words."

He was not in a hurry to impress her immediately, but just seized the opportunity to meet and said his inner words earnestly,

"I used to have a few beauties sent by merchants in the mansion, but now they have all been sent out of the mansion. I used to go to their house and talk to them, but I thought it was just as lonely. ”

He was embarrassed to say that what was outside China was not the real reason.

You must know that his official rank and others have to look at his face to speak, and it is nothing that he is from Xiyi.

Moreover, in the palace of the official family, there are Khitan affiliated Banzhi as imperial guards, and a three-rank jinshi like him can often walk sideways.

But he was left alone since he was a child, and he was so lonely.

So there are many brothers in his house, and there are also many daughters.

It's as lively as in the stockade.

After he got married, he hoped that his wife and children would surround him and not leave.

But he was a man, and he was embarrassed to say these children's words.

……

Hearing Lou Yun talk about the foreign beauties in his house, Ji Qingchen could only smile bitterly.

followed Chen Wenchang to the capital, and she has not worried about the problem of concubines until now.

Moreover, she does not need to honor her father-in-law and mother-in-law in the Chen family's mansion when she gets married in the capital, and she is indeed not used to that kind of life.

But Chen Wenchang can even let go of his parents' filial piety, and he is far away from his hometown to make a living in other places, and his habit of liking to travel cannot be changed at all.

She's either going to follow him, or she's not going to get married.

Because her relationship is long-lasting, she may indeed need to "morning and twilight." ”

……

After sending Lou Yun away, she lay on the bed.

In the headache and brain fever, she recalled the deep blue sea outside Tangfang, which was completely different from the life in her previous life.

And when she returned to Da Song, she still had to be careful to adapt to the unfamiliar environment.

In fact, like Lou Yun, she is very unfamiliar with the circle of the Song people.

She was also embarrassed to say to Chen Wenchang that even if she was no longer a child who envied her brother, she could arrange her life to the fullest by herself, and she had many friends and partners.

But she still hopes that her husband can accompany her more after she gets married.

She doesn't say this because she thinks that liking someone is just to make him happy.

Chen Wenchang is happy, and she is happy.

She touched the small note handed to her by Chen Wenchang under the porcelain pillow, and now she was still thinking about how to settle Ji Chenlong's affairs and ask the Chen family not to rush to quit their relatives.

……

Chen Wenchang finally came back from the Imperial History Yamen, and before he could sit down in the study, Chen Hong came from Mingzhou City.

"Uncle?"

Chen Wenchang looked at him with a sad face, and he didn't know where he was unsatisfactory.

He had to temporarily put down the task of writing a note to Ji Qingchen and greet this elder first.

"Uncle, the workshop in Tangfang should have started to move back, right?"

He thought for a moment, took the tea from Yulong's hand, and put it in front of Chen Hong, I don't know what else he can worry about besides business?

"Cousin Wen Jin is in Quanzhou City, is he good?"

He thought that Chen Hong was worried about his concubine.

“……”

Chen Hong sighed heavily.

Since Ji Qingchen did not return to Quanzhou and was willing to take less shares of Bazhenzhai, Chen Hong felt that his life was finally going well

for a few days.

In particular, Lord Lou asked him to let out the rumors of the construction of a new river, and the deadlock on the side of the Chuyang River was immediately resolved.

When the grain merchants, salt merchants, and boat gang bosses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang saw that there were other places to make money, they naturally refused to let go of the Xihe Road wharf.

So he didn't care about Lord Lou's kiss to Ji Qingchen.

"Second nephew, since April, Lord Lou told me about his wrong marriage. I didn't say a word. ”

Chen Xing took Chen Wenchang's hand and asked him to sit down on several seats.

"I know you like your daughter-in-law who begged for marriage, and she didn't mean to look at it. So although Lord Lou personally came to tell me about it, I just listened to it in my ears and remembered it in my heart. But not a word of persuasion has been given. I never asked you to take a step back, don't fight with Lord Lou. ”

Chen Hong received Lou Yun's news and hurried to the capital.

Chen Wenchang listened patiently to him, and said in surprise:

"Uncle suddenly came to the capital, is it still for me and Qingniang's family business?"

"This time it's different. The second brother of the Ji family has not come back from Goryeo, and I heard that he voted for Jinguo. ”

As Chen Hong expected, Chen Wenchang was suddenly startled and stood up.

"Uncle, where did you hear this?"

However, without waiting for Chen Hong to answer, he took two steps back and forth in front of the chair, and suddenly remembered the news that Ji Qingchen seemed to be sick in the past few days.

"She's here for this? But you are really sick, but you don't let me know? ”

He looked at the dragon.

The dragon was frightened by the look on his face, and quickly knelt down, and shouted:

"Childe, every time I go to deliver a message for Childe, Master Ji says that she is all right. Her house is full of servants, or there are Rui Girl and Xu Qi Niangzi, how can the villain really see her? ”

"Second nephew."

Where did Chen Hong have the time to listen to these at this time, pulling Chen Wenchang,

"She didn't tell you personally, but she called Lord Lou to come and communicate with me. Her kindness, of course. What she means is to sue you, she doesn't affect our family in this matter. If you want to withdraw from her family, she will continue, anyway, Lord Lou will protect their family. ”

"What did Uncle say?"

Chen Wenchang only wrote three or four words on the note just now, but he planned to write a few lines of the poem "The son of the owner, IKEA and Ikea" in the Book of Poetry.

He knew that Ji Qingchen would be happy when he saw it.

She started a little Mengxue in the Chen family grange, and he had just learned about the appointment of his friend.

That friend was waiting for him outside the Imperial Gate, and thanked him again and again for his kindness.

"Uncle doesn't need to say any more. She will not give up her family. ”

Chen Wenchang said this categorically, and Chen Xing also lowered his face and said:

"If she doesn't want to quit. Then she has a bad conscience. Who is our family? Let's say that we are the maritime merchants of Quanzhou City, and the family business of hundreds of ancestors has been handed down, and we have never dealt with the green-eyed Jin people. Not to mention getting married. ”

Along the way, he had already typed the draft and prepared the speech.

"Let's put it well, although our Chen family is defeated, but there are more than ten generations upward, and we can also climb the blood and clan with the Chen Dynasty lord in the play. How can we have anything to do with the people of Jinguo? The ancestors will die of shame in the ground. ”

Chen Wenchang was still suspicious of what tacit understanding there was between her and Lou Yun, but when he heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Uncle, that's all about the year and month. When he was repairing the family tree, how could my uncle still take it to his mouth and say it, so that outsiders heard the joke about us. ”

When cultivating the genealogy, I thought of a way to climb up to a famous good relative, which was a routine rule.

When the business of the Jingkang Dynasty was sluggish, the Chen family was kind enough to buy seven or eight boats at a very cheap price, so that the owners could pay off their debts.

As a result, when the imperial court rectified the port affairs and encouraged trade, the family business gradually became bigger.

Therefore, the Chen family has absolutely nothing to do with Chen Shubao, the queen of the Chen Dynasty.

Speaking of which, Chen Wenchang is about to go out.

"Since she is sick, of course I have to visit. Let her know that I will never give up my family for this, and that her illness will be cured. ”

He didn't think she was acting properly, and her face was not good.

"I also want to ask her, I never ask her more about the past, but why does she want to communicate secretly with Lord Lou? She was sick and kept it a secret from me. Does she want to get married or doesn't want to get married? ”R1152
