Chapter 36: The Chen Family's Mansion II
Chen Shuhuan knew that it was useless to say more, so he didn't say anything anymore, turned around and went out, walked to the door, and said: "Xuanwu, although the eldest brother is incompetent, you can rest assured, tomorrow will be a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and the eldest brother will be with you." With that, he turned and left.
Chen Shuyue heard it clearly, that's right, this person is his eldest brother, the person who protected him when he was a child and carried him on his back, who did wrong things to fight for him, and sheltered him from the wind and rain when practicing martial arts. How many years, Chen Shuyue doesn't remember, I don't know why, I saw it for the first time in so many years, and I witnessed Chen Shuhuan being buried, and now when I see him again, Chen Shuyue is not excited, and I know that I didn't run over to hug it.
But Chen Shuhuan's words just now were really true, this is his eldest brother, although he hasn't seen him for more than ten years, the scene at that time is still vivid.
"Big Brother Fang felt a little gray when he walked out, did he think I was mocking him? Probably not, if the eldest brother thought so, he wouldn't say such a thing. Chen Shuyue muttered to herself.
"Mother, Shuhua, I can't let my eldest brother's heart hurt anymore, don't worry, I'll go." Chen Shuyue said and ran out of the hall.
Xiao Dezi and Steward Guo had been guarding outside the door, and when they saw Chen Shuyue suddenly running out, they hurriedly gave up their hands, "Little Wangye, where are you going?" ”
"Uncle Guo, where did the eldest brother go?" Chen Shuyue said.
"The eldest prince has returned to his side room." Steward Guo said.
"Why is it a partial house? Now the eldest brother is the head of the family, and he should live in the main house! Chen Shuyue said.
Xiao Dezi said: "Little prince, the eldest prince feels that he has failed to fulfill his son's obligations in this family, and he has not given his younger siblings and brothers the responsibility, so since he redeemed the mansion, he has lived in a side house, saying that it is for repentance." ”
Chen Shuyue hurriedly ran towards the home remedies.
"Big brother, are you in there?" Chen Shuyue knocked on the door of the side room.
"Xuanwu, how did you get here?" Chen Shuhuan hurriedly walked out and said.
Chen Shuyue said: "Why can't I come here? You can live here, I can't come? ”
The partial houses of the Chen Mansion are generally inhabited by inferior people, and the people of the Chen family basically do not set foot in the boundary of the partial houses, and only those who make mistakes or are degraded to common people will live here.
"Big brother, I understand what you mean, you don't have to be like this, you will always be the big brother in our hearts, although Shu Hua and Shu Yan are gone, and the third brother is in the bitter cold land, but you will always be our big brother." Chen Shuyue said.
Chen Shuhuan smiled, "Do you really treat me as a brother?" Don't think I'm a living dead? ”
"The living dead? Why does the eldest brother think like this, you are my eldest brother, now that the father and mother are not there, the so-called eldest brother is the father, and the Chen Mansion will have the final say in the future. Chen Shuyue said.
Chen Shuhuan clapped his hands, he didn't know how to put it, since he came back from the dead, he had always felt that he was at fault, although everything had changed since he came back, and now he had changed from the previous grace and luxury to cloth, but he felt that all this happened because of himself. Fortunately, his mother has always been thinking about him, and he can always accompany his mother through the last days, but Chen Shuhuan can't overcome the hurdles in his heart. His mother forgave him, but can his brothers forgive? That's why he decided to live in a side house.
"Big brother!" Chen Shuyue called Chen Shuhuan and hugged him, and the two brothers hugged their heads and cried for a long time.
Xiao Dezi and Steward Guo on the side also wiped their tears.
"Lord Wang, Lord Li's men and horses outside the mansion are coming to the side, Uncle Guo, you feel like you can deal with it, and a few of us will avoid it for the time being." Ouyang Jing ran in and interrupted the two brothers' bitter tears.
Xiao Dezi took Chen Shuhuan and Chen Shuyue to the back of the hall, followed by Ouyang Jing and Xiao Dezi.
Steward Guo and Mama Zhao hurriedly went out to greet them, and before Steward Guo could say hello, they saw a person riding a tall horse into the prince's mansion.
"Lord Li is well!" Steward Guo hurriedly greeted the official on horseback.
"Steward Guo, the old man hasn't been here for a while, and today I passed by here to come in to have a look, and I can ask for a bowl of water to drink?" The official said.
"Good, good!" Steward Guo hurriedly said.
Chen Shuyue saw Master Li riding on a horse through Ping Feng, "So arrogant, I didn't get off the horse when I entered my Chen Mansion, it was in vain that I trusted this person so much." ”
"Xuanwu, don't be impulsive, just endure for a while, and it's not too late to theorize tomorrow." Chen Shuhuan was afraid that Chen Shuyue would be impulsive, so he hurriedly blocked him.
Lord Li continued to ride his horse towards the hall, and Steward Guo smiled and said, "Lord Li, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate, if you want to drink water, can you get off the horse and go?" ”
"An outdated prince's mansion, do you still use Lord Ben to go there in person?" Master Li said angrily.
Steward Guo smiled and said: "Master Li, although you are too angry, but this is also the emperor's mansion, how can you be so presumptuous, besides, the emperor may not enter the mansion like this today, right?" ”
Master Li was flustered for a while, and hurriedly said, "You subordinate is actually talking tricks here, do you think the old man will scare you?" ”
"The villain knows that the adult is high and powerful, but I believe the adult can still distinguish which is more important." Steward Guo said.
"I won't get off the horse, can you help me?" Master Li said.
"If you insist on entering, please step in the body of a small person." Steward Guo said righteously.
"Shame on you, I'm going to ride in today." Master Li said as he drove his horse over.
Seeing Steward Guo blocking in front, the two guards took out their knives and shouted, "Old guy, get out of the way quickly, or I'll chop you." ”
Steward Guo kicked one by one, and knocked over another with one palm.
At this time, Master Li immediately stopped, "You old thing, you still want to murder Lord Ben, come on, give me a heavy beating." ”
Four or five guards surrounded him, and Steward Guo saw that Master Li had no intention of breaking into the hall, so he didn't fight back, and let four or five people punch and kick.
Chen Shuyue couldn't stand it anymore, and when she was about to go out, a figure suddenly flew in from outside the house, "These dogs are too deceitful." With three or two strokes, he knocked four or five people down.
Seeing this, Master Li knew that the comer was not good, so he hurriedly urged the horse to run towards the gate of the mansion.
"I want to run!" The man in black rushed towards Lord Li and pulled him off his horse, so that he almost suffocated.
"Heroes spare their lives, heroes spare their lives!" Master Li immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The man in black smiled and said, "You really know the current affairs, is this skill particularly useful in the palace?" As he spoke, he kicked Master Li over.
"The hero spares his life, and the villain also lives!" Master Li knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly.
"If I don't leave you something, I guess you won't be able to remember." As he spoke, the man in black pulled out his sword and slashed it at Lord Li's face, and Lord Li immediately covered his face and flipped around, screaming in pain.
"Remember, this is a holy place you can never violate." The man in black said.
Lord Li covered his face and nodded frequently, daring to ask the hero's name. Master Li said.
The man in black glared at Master Li, "What?" Want to know my name, will it be easy to find me in the future? ”
Master Li hurriedly said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." ”
"Get out!" The man in black scolded.
Master Li climbed out of the prince's mansion with a roll.
"Thank you heroes for your help, I thank you here." Steward Guo stepped forward and said.
The man in black arched his hand and said, "When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help, this is the nature of people who walk the rivers and lakes, needless to say." ”
"Dare to ask the hero's name? Do you know my host? Steward Guo continued to ask.
"It's just a nameless junior, and the people in the rivers and lakes call it the fast sword Ren Yuxia. I don't know who your owner is, but this place is said to have been a place where chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes must go, so I have been paying attention outside, and over time I found that there are really many people staring, old man, I hope you will do it yourself, take care of this place, and we will meet again. After saying that, the man in black climbed over the wall and left.
Chen Shuyue heard it clearly, Ren Yuxia, although this person had never met, he had several intersections with Chen Shuyue, and he would help each time.
Steward Guo walked into the hall, "Two princes, can this hero get acquainted?" ”
Chen Shuyue nodded, "Although we don't know each other, we are very fateful!" This person is my old apprentice, so he will always help when he walks the rivers and lakes. ”
Chen Shuhuan said: "Thanks to the help of these righteous people, we will be alive until now. ”
Chen Shuyue nodded, he understood the importance of these people too well, although they were not in the court, they cared about state affairs wholeheartedly and were not constrained, but they would not act indiscriminately, but they were much more at ease than him.
"Two princes, the meal has been prepared." Du Juan said.
At this time, Chen Shuyue felt a little hungry alone, and so far along the way, it seemed that every scene was like a dream, and it was incredible.
Several people came to the side hall for dinner, and Zhao's mother served Chen Shuyue and Chen Shuhuan a meal according to the previous etiquette.
"Mother Zhao, you don't have to be like this deliberately, I am no longer the prince of the year, and there is no need for our family to care about these etiquette." Chen Shuhuan said.
Chen Shuyue nodded, "Big brother is right, the happiest thing is for the family to sit down and eat together, and nothing else matters." ”
Steward Guo came over with a pot of wine and said; "Little prince, we are already very content, the rules still can't be broken, how can anyone sit at the same table with the master to eat."
"Uncle Guo, this is a bad statement, as you said, then it is unreasonable for me to call you Uncle Guo." Chen Shuyue said.
Steward Guo didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Come on, come on, Mother Zhao sits here, Xiao Jingzi and Xiao Dezi sit here, Xiao Dujuan sits next to the fourth brother, and Uncle Guo sits next to Mama Zhao." Chen Shuhuan directly took Zhao's mother's hand and asked her to sit down, and then asked a few people to sit down in turn.
"My old woman cultivated blessings in her previous life!" Mother Zhao wiped a handful of tears as she spoke.
"Mother Zhao, it is the blessing that we have cultivated in our previous life to be able to meet you, otherwise, the Chen Mansion is in trouble now, and you have already separated." Chen Shuyue said.
