Zhao Chongyi had heard Chen Wenhui about Lan Caiyu for a long time, and knew that Chen Wenhui had a good relationship with Lan Caiyu when she was a child, and Lan Caiyu was like her sister. The two of them haven't seen each other for many years, and there must be a lot to say. Zhao Chongyi said: "You entertain guests, I want to go to the study to read books, don't talk too late." ”

Chen Wenhui nodded.

Chen Wenhui didn't have time to change her clothes, so she wore homely clothes, stood outside the foyer and waited, and after a while, Shui Lian led a woman wearing a dark blue plaid cotton blouse and a brown skirt underneath, without extra lace, looking very simple. This is the blue jade.

Lan Caiyu passed through the courtyard, and saw that in front of the hall in the dim light, a homely dress, with a red gold and gemstone hairpin pinned to his head, the shadow of the gem was reflected on Chen Wenhui's jade-like skin, which looked very beautiful.

Lan Caiyu's eyes were red, and she couldn't help but take a few steps quickly, and when she went up, she held Chen Wenhui's hand, only to find that she hadn't seen her for a few years, Chen Wenhui was already a little taller than her, Lan Caiyu said: "It's cold at night now, why are you wearing this and standing in the tuyere outside, and the people who follow you don't give you a cloak?" ”

Chen Wenhui saw that although Lan Caiyu was dressed plainly, the cotton shirt was made of delicate texture, which was the best kind of cotton cloth, and now it was sold on the market more expensive than ordinary satin. And the workmanship is meticulous, there is no too much jewelry on the head, only a few small cashmere flowers, and then there are a few hairpins of mutton fat white jade, although there are few jewelry, but the texture and style are very good, and there is some comfort in my heart, it seems that the life of blue color jade should be good. At least it was better than I imagined, and it was better than Mrs. Hu's life back then.

Listening to Lan Caiyu's words again, it was still the style of the big sister back then, and I couldn't help but feel as if time was passing, and I went back to the time when I was in Ancheng, when several girls played together, and Lan Caiyu took care of everyone like a big sister everywhere. Chen Wenhui's eyes were also red.

Chen Wenhui also held Lan Caiyu's hand and said, "Don't worry, I heard that you arrived, and I was very surprised, and I didn't even change my clothes." I quickly ran out to see. Why aren't you in Anseong? ”

Lan Caiyu was about to speak, and Chen Wenhui's maid Shuilian on the side smiled and said, "County Lord, it's windy outside, let's invite Mrs. Wang to sit in the house." ”

Chen Wenhui suddenly realized. Hurriedly pulled Lan Caiyu to the house. Shuilian had already closed the curtain on the door. Chen Wenhui and Lan Caiyu arrived at the house, invited Lan Caiyu to sit down, and the maids served hot tea. There are also a few dim sums.

Chen Wenhui continued: "Today, I met Sister Huang Yuyan, and we talked for a day. She told me about her sister's situation. said that my sister has left the capital now and lives in the old house of the Anseong royal family with her children, but is it true? We would like to invite you to come and see us, and we say that it will take a few days, so we have set the day for the meeting in five days. Where did you expect you to come over tonight? ”

Lan Caiyu smiled and said, "I live in Anseong. However, in the past few days, my mother sent me a letter saying that my brother and daughter-in-law had given birth, so I took the children to the foreign house in Qingyang City to congratulate them, give them gifts, and stayed for a few days, and I originally planned to go back in a few days. A few days ago, I was busy with my mother's affairs, and I didn't bother to hand over a post to Yu Yan, and I was idle these days, and I was going to hand over a post to Yu Yan, saying that I arrived, and the two sisters met, and thanked her for so many years and always entrusted her family to take care of me. Who knows, my post hasn't been delivered yet, but her post has been delivered to my mother's house. As soon as I saw that the posts of both of you were there, I asked and found out that you also came to Qingyang City. I can't help it, even though it's a big night, I still want to see you right away. ”

Chen Wenhui felt sour when she heard it, Lan Caiyu still hasn't changed, she is still the big sister who cares about her and loves her. Listening to Lan Caiyu's words, although everyone's identity has changed a lot over the years. For example, he is already the county lord, and the strength of the Xiao Chen family has increased greatly, that is, the Huang family has also changed from a small official family to the largest official in Jiangnan now, but Lan Caiyu still regards Huang Yuyan as her little sister back then. This made Chen Wenhui feel very heartwarming.

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but say: "I often miss you, although I haven't been in Dachu in the past few years, I have lived in Nanyang, but every year I ask people to give you a little gift to the Wang family." The Wang family often gives me a return gift, but you haven't replied to me a letter, so I don't know what your situation is. ”

Lan Caiyu smiled bitterly and said, "Originally, our sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, and I don't want to talk about these things about me, but now I have to say it." Actually, I have long since moved back from the Wang family's mansion in the capital. At first, our family lived in Qingyang City, and at that time, I was already miserable. Later, you went to Nanyang from the capital, the king of Jin became the crown prince, Wang Yaozhen became the prince Liangdi, and my father-in-law took a large family of us, except for the grandmother who was old and bad at walking, all went to the capital and bought a big house. Since then, our Wang family has become a relative of the emperor and made friends with dignitaries and nobles everywhere in the capital. Originally, my husband had already spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, but my father-in-law and mother-in-law first thought that we were close to each other, and secondly, they thought that I had a son-in-law for the Wang family, suppressing my husband and keeping my status and face in the main room. ”

"However, when I was in the capital, I made a lot of friends with high-ranking officials and nobles, and I felt that I was not a businessman, which was not good, and it would be great if I could find a daughter-in-law from an official family for my husband, so my father-in-law and mother-in-law did not protect me. My husband has intensified, originally wanted to divorce me, but my mother's Lan family is not easy to mess with, my father and brother have come forward, and even Ling Zun has sent me a message, plus you have always sent me gifts, so the Wang family did not dare to divorce me. But they gave my husband a girl from a concubine from an official family, called the second wife, and presided over the middle feed. You say, what am I going to do? The last time, my son fell into the water for no reason, needless to say, it must have been the ghosts of those aunts, and I took the children back to Anseong in a fit of rage, saying that it was to serve my grandmother. I lived in the old house in Anseong. ”

"I also know the gifts you send every year, but when I was in the capital, I was already divided by them, and the return gift to you was also returned by the Wang family themselves, anyway, their family is rich, and there is no shortage of this money. I'm just listening to what people say. Naturally, there is no way to write to you. I'm sorry for you. ”

Chen Wenhui heard that she hated the Wang family's ingratitude, and felt sorry for Lan Caiyu, and said: "This Wang family is too much of a thing, our family was blind back then, how could they support their family to come to power?" It made my sister suffer. ”

Lan Caiyu smiled and said, "I am unladylike, how can I blame your family?" This marriage is in charge of my parents, and I was very willing to kiss and kiss back then, and when I was married, my husband was still very good to me. My parents-in-law also respect me, and I am in charge of the feed. In fact, at that time, looking happy, in fact, it was already full of contradictions, my husband had two maids before I entered the door, and one of them was pregnant. At that time, we were already married, but our poor family didn't know. At that time, the Wang family wanted the maid to quietly give birth to the child, and then force me to recognize the child after I entered the door in the future. It's a pity that this maid didn't wait to give birth to a child, but was jealous of another roommate, and the child was killed, and the pregnant maid died. The Wang family was very angry, so they sold the harmful maid. However, after I got married, my husband had two more maids, who were added later. ”

Chen Wenhui's eyes widened.

Lan Caiyu said: "At that time, I was newly married, I didn't know this, but it was a little strange, why did the two right-hand men who used to serve my husband disappear when I entered the door?" Because our two families are close to each other, I have long known that my husband has two beloved maids, who are maids in the room, which is a normal thing in a large family. I have also been prepared for a long time, and when I get married, I will find an opportunity to raise these two maids as concubines. Therefore, at that time, it was very strange that I did not see these two people, but became two other more beautiful maids. My husband and my mother-in-law told me that it was because the two maids were a little spoiled, relying on the love with my husband since childhood, and some of them were big, and they were afraid that after I entered the door, it would be difficult to discipline, so they were all sold. These two are new to my husband's service. ”

Chen Wenhui sneered.

Lan Caiyu also sighed and said, "It's a pity, at that time, I was too naïve, I actually believed this nonsense, and I was grateful?" Later, I still raised these two maids as concubines, and also gave a dowry maid beside me to my husband, and also raised them as concubines. However, my husband is still not satisfied, he looks for flowers and willows outside every day, and his reputation spreads far and wide, and he even raises an outer room, which is not as good as me day by day. But my in-laws treated me well. Later, as you know, your Chen family put a little pressure on our Wang family, and Yaozhen in the palace also passed the word, asking my husband to be more restrained, so my husband cut off the outside, but stopped for a while. As a result, I became pregnant, first with a son and then with a daughter. When I gave birth to a daughter, my dowry also gave birth to a son. It's a pity that at that time, the Wang family began to be prosperous again, and my husband got a few concubines from the Qinglou at once. They were all red card misses, and one of them was particularly powerful, and they kept dealing with me. My dowry maid was also killed by her because she protected me. Leaving behind the son who came out of the house, I could only carry it over and raise it. (To be continued......)
