Chapter 150: First Meeting
Chen Wenhui is preparing at home. Here, Liu Yan and they are almost in Deqing. Originally, Liu Yan wanted to go to Suzhou first, but Chen Wenlin and Chen Wenfeng were opposed, and they both thought that he should go to Chen Yuanheng in Huzhou first, because Chen Yuanheng had been in Jiangnan for many years and was familiar with the officialdom in Jiangnan, and Deqing was located in the middle of the three states, so it was more convenient to go anywhere from Deqing. The most important thing is that Chen Wenfeng thinks that it is safer for her husband to be with the third uncle. Chen Wenlin thought about going home first, and his father must have a way to explain.
Liu Yan was hesitating, Chen Guifei in the palace let them enter the palace, and then, Chen Guifei told Liu Yan about the same words in the secret letter to Chen Yuanheng, and told Liu Yan that Chen Yuanheng had already arranged everything for him, and asked him to quickly go to Deqing to find Chen Yuanheng.
Now Liu Yan has more confidence in his heart, and Chen Wenfeng's gratitude to the third uncle has increased. In this way, Liu Yan and the others quickly went to Deqing with their men.
When he arrived in Deqing, all the people were stationed at the official post, and Liu Yan went to the Deqing Mansion to read out the holy decree of pacification and inspect the work of Deqing.
In the evening, Chen Yuanheng and all the officials in the Deqing officialdom had already prepared, and they simply hosted a banquet for Liu Yan and his party. After the banquet, Liu Yan went directly back to the official post to rest. Chen Wenlin hurried back home.
Usually Chen Wenhui and her mother rest very early, and they have been waiting in Bai's upper room all this day. Very late, Chen Wenlin and Chen Yuanheng, father and son, came back together.
Chen Wenhui hasn't seen her second brother for half a year. At a glance, I saw a handsome young man beside my father, who was about to catch up with my father, Yushu was in the wind, although it was full of sunshine at night, Chen Wenhui looked at his brother's appearance and secretly said in his heart, if the second brother lived in the previous life, where would he have to study hard, he must have been discovered by the scouting company a long time ago.
The Bai family next to Chen Wenhui saw his son at a glance, and tears had already flowed out. Chen Wenlin originally followed his father in a regular manner, but when he saw his mother and sister, he immediately gave up his father. ran quickly, first threw himself into Bai's arms, Bai hugged him, and tears fell even more.
Chen Wenhui grinned and said, "The second brother is not ashamed, he is still in his mother's arms. ”
Chen Wenlin saw that his sister was ashamed of him, so he was embarrassed to get up, broke free from his mother's arms, picked up his sister at once, and turned in a circle. Chen Wenhui screamed in fright.
At this time, Chen Yuanheng had already walked over and said with a smile: "Lin'er was still decent when she followed the four princes during the day. He looks like an adult. Now it seems to be a child again. ”
Bai on the side scolded with a smile: "Quickly put your sister down." Your sister has already passed her birthday, she is a ten-year-old girl, and she has started to grow her hair, and you are still like this. ”
Chen Wenlin put down his sister and said, "I'm in a hurry." I wanted to come back early to catch my sister's birthday, but I was still two days late. However, I brought a gift for my sister. I thought that my sister was going to keep her head, so I bought my sister some new headdresses from the capital. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Brother, how can you buy women's jewelry as a big man?" And do you still know that it is a new style in the capital? ”
Chen Wenlin said with a smile: "This is what my big sister picked for me." By the way, the eldest sister also brought you a gift, but the gift is with the fourth brother, and tomorrow he will come to our house to meet his parents. Pour the time to you. ”
Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "Hmph, who is rare jewelry, I have a lot of jewelry anywhere, all of which I have never brought, what I want." What should you know? If you don't buy it, you won't be allowed to enter the door. ”
Chen Wenlin laughed and said: "I knew you were like this, in fact, I had prepared it for you a long time ago, they are the latest books of Beijing Bookstore, there are many kinds of them, there are miscellaneous notes, there are travelogues, there are stories, but they are good-looking." ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "It's pretty much the same. ”
Chen Yuanheng smiled and said, "Okay, why are you standing at the door, let's all go in." ”
The family entered Bai's main house and talked about the experience of the past six months after the separation.
The next day, Liu Yan took his other two friends Zhao Chongyi and Liu Jingyuan to the back house of the Chen Mansion to meet Chen Yuanheng and his wife in civilian clothes early in the morning. Although they met yesterday, yesterday was a business matter, he was a Qincha, he was the king of Jinjun, and today it was a private matter, and he met as a niece and son-in-law.
Therefore, it was a private matter, and Chen Yuanheng did not dare to slack off, so he greeted him at the door with the whole family early. Chen Wenhui saw from a distance a few handsome guys from Yushu riding horses to the door, walked in, and several people and the guards got off their horses and walked over. The one who was the leader took away all the light from the whole world at once. Chen Wenhui only felt that her heart was beating non-stop, and it was a mess.
Chen Wenhui muttered: "I'm dead, I'm dead, how can there be such a handsome man in this world, it's really a demon." ”
No one paid attention to her at this time. Because the Bai family around her, as well as a group of maids, were all photographed by Liu Yan's beauty, and they couldn't move. However, Chen Yuanheng had seen it yesterday, and it was a man, so he was not affected, he quietly reminded his wife, daughter and the servants around him, and then everyone woke up and hurriedly saluted.
Liu Yan still looked cold, but his tone was gentle, and he hurriedly walked over, stopped them from saluting and said, "Today I am not a Qincha, today I am the son-in-law of the Chen family, and I should give a salute to the third uncle and third aunt." ”
Saying that he was about to salute, Chen Yuanheng stopped busy, and the group went to the main room in the backyard lively, and after the guests sat down, Liu Yan gave Chen Yuanheng and his wife a salute again, and then Zhao Chongyi and Liu Jingyuan gave Chen Yuanheng and his wife a salute. After that, it was Chen Wenhui's turn, and Chen Wenhui was still looking at Liu Yan blankly.
Zhao Chongyi and Liu Yan both laughed in their hearts, this is the extremely smart sister that Chen Wenlin says every day, how can she be the same as those stupid girls in the capital who are in a daze when they see Liu Yan's beauty.
Chen Wenlin hurriedly reminded his sister. Chen Wenhui came to her senses and came over to salute her brother-in-law Liu Yan and her brother's friends Zhao Chongyi and Liu Jingyuan. They are all peers, so naturally they have to return the favor.
After saluting, a few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and under the pretext of going to see how the food was prepared, Bai took the servants and slaves out with them, leaving these men to discuss together. To Liu Yan's surprise, Chen Wenhui did not go out with her mother. At first, Liu Yan thought that Chen Wenhui still wanted to see him for a while, he had seen this kind of thing a lot since he was a child, but he was still a little bored in his heart, but he found that Bai didn't call Chen Wenhui when he left, so Liu Yan, Zhao Chongyi, and Liu Jingyuan were all a little surprised, but in other people's homes, they didn't say anything.
When the Bai family left with the people, Chen Yuanheng spoke: "King Jinjun, the concubine Niangniang has already written a letter to me, I have made preparations in advance, it was not easy to talk in the official office yesterday, I will talk to you today." You see if it's appropriate, what other instructions are there? ”
Liu Yan hurriedly said: "The third uncle is polite, it's okay to call me the fourth, I'm a junior here, or call me Ah Yan." ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "Haha, then I'm not welcome, I'll just call you a good act." Ah Yan, that's how I set it up. ”
Then, Chen Yuanheng talked about the things that he had discussed with Chen Wenhui before, using the restaurant and the Lan family's property to find out the news for him, and reminded him that he should distinguish between good rewards and bad reports, and he didn't deal with it himself, and explained the reasons. Finally, I said again, I hope Liu Yan can take this opportunity to search for talents in Jiangnan and lay a foundation for the future.
After finishing speaking, Liu Yan hurriedly stood up and saluted Chen Yuanheng, saying: "I'm still young, and I haven't experienced it, so I don't know much about these things in the officialdom, thank you for being so thoughtful about the third uncle's preparation for me." ”
Chen Yuanheng hurriedly humbled a few words. Chen Wenhui had woken up from her infatuation with Liu Yan's beauty at this time, and began to objectively evaluate Liu Yan and his party. Seeing Liu Yan's expression, Chen Wenhui added points to Liu Yan in her heart, thinking to herself, this person is a person who can achieve great things, modest, cautious, neither humble nor arrogant, and has potential, and his eldest aunt really didn't choose the wrong person.
Chen Yuanheng continued: "Now that I have collected the news of Huzhou on hand, I will go to the study in a while, and I will give it to Ah Yan." ”
Liu Yan hurriedly thanked him. Chen Wenhui suddenly said: "Actually, I think there is another point in the county prince's disaster relief this time. ”
At this moment, Liu Yan, Liu Jingyuan, and Zhao Chongyi all looked at Chen Wenhui in surprise, only Chen Wenlin and Chen Yuanheng were not surprised, and Chen Yuanheng asked very seriously: "What is the point?" The other day, the two of us discussed repeatedly and felt that there was nothing to add? ”
Chen Wenhui looked at her father and said, "I also just saw the king of Jinjun rushing over in a hurry, and the concubine Niangniang asked me to come to Deqing first before I thought of it." ”
Chen Yuanheng asked, "What do you think of?" ”
Liu Yan and the three of them looked at their father and daughter very seriously, and Chen Wenlin was not surprised at all, thinking, it seems that this little girl is really the think tank of their family, Chen Wenlin did not lie to them, otherwise Chen Yuanheng is such a steady and cautious person, how could he not even leave his wife and leave only his daughter, and looking at the dialogue between their father and daughter, these arrangements made by Chen Yuanheng were all discussed and discussed with Chen Wenhui before. It seems that they had a wrong impression of Chen Wenhui before, and they have to re-evaluate this little girl.
Liu Yan thought more in his heart, Liu Yan suddenly thought of his princess, who is also the daughter of the Chen family, and she is also so smart, no, this little girl looks like she is smarter than her own princess.
Zhao Chongyi looked at Chen Wenhui again, only to find that Chen Wenhui had just grown her hair, her hair was just over her shoulders, and she had a small bun on her head, elegantly inserting a few green jade hairpins, and the hair behind her was draped over her shoulders, black and shiny. The small face shone with wisdom, and at first glance it was a beauty. In fact, they have seen a lot of beauties in the capital, but Chen Wenhui gives people a different feeling, this girl doesn't look like a small flower, but a tree, upright, straightforward and beautiful. Yes, trees generally describe men, and it is difficult to see this temperament in a girl. What kind of temperament is this? It's a kind of self-confidence, and there's an independent heroism, which he's never seen in a girl.
