The sound of the intertwined piano and the chanting came to an abrupt end.

Shen Kang wanted to deal with Meng Fanrui calmly, but the sixth sense told him that if he didn't run at this time, he would be beaten violently.

So, Shen Kang didn't have time to lift his robe, his hands supported the ground, and he ran away.

Meng Fanrui followed closely and scolded endlessly: "Thief boy! Even your uncle dares to deceive, see if Uncle Ben doesn't blow your eggs today! ”

Shen Kang shouted repeatedly: "Just kidding, just kidding!" But he didn't dare to pause, the boat was narrow, Shen Kang dodged left and right, and was almost caught by Meng Fanrui's big hand three times and twice.

"Thief boy! Do you dare! Don't dare! ”

"Don't dare! Uncle Meng was angry and angry......"

Jiang Liuxuan and Wang Lucao rarely saw Shen Kang's panicked appearance, the two of them leaned on the edge of the boat, clasped their hands around their chests in the same way, and looked at this scene with a smile, feeling from the bottom of their hearts, cool!

......

Suzhou Mansion, Changzhou Mansion, Chen Mansion.

Entry. There is no ridge on the top of the hanging mountain, and it is a rolling shed hanging mountain commonly used by rich and noble families in the south. The gables of houses are carved with crests. The gables on both sides are recessed into the roof of the temple, so that the purlin ends on the top stick out of the wall and are nailed with wind fighting boards.

The entrance is the patio, into which the translucent light falls into the patio, illuminating the white porcelain jars scattered in the courtyard.

The wind in the white porcelain jar is calm, and a breeze blows through, wrinkling the water in the jar. Suddenly, outside the translucent tank, there were vaguely visible swimming fish fleeing in panic.

Looking closely, I saw that in this venerable white porcelain jar, some of them raised lively and vivid koi fish, and some of them raised water lilies.

The leaves of the water lily are rounded, the leaf surface is green and shiny, the flowers are stacked with petals, and the goose-yellow stigma is silky. Pure white, red, pale pink, high and low are all simple and elegant.

The cattails are smoky, complex and lush, and at a glance, there seems to be a tendency to connect into pieces, and the leisure and elegance are self-evident.

Chen Longer was wearing a madder painted skirt, with several layers of skirts, and each fold around her waist was accompanied by a similar color, which was as immobile as the moon and as colorful as a rainbow in the wind.

She is still too young, her hair is soft and soft, the color is yellow, her little face is as white as jade, her cheeks are slightly bulging, and the little jade girl is delicate and soft, as if she came out of a painting.

The little girl was decorated with such a solemn appearance, with a pair of high-soled bow shoes with camphor wood as the bottom under her feet, and her small feet wrapped around her feet were more small and cute than the girls of ordinary people's families.

She stood at the door of the inner hall in a distraction, looking at the scenery in the courtyard, and the beautiful scenery was clearly reflected in her dark and shiny eyes, but she didn't see a look.

The maid came quietly behind her and asked in a low voice, "Miss, what are you waiting for?" ”

Chen Long'er was thinking about something, and was suddenly disturbed, so her body trembled, but she didn't make a sound. She slowly turned her eyes, looked up at the maid, and asked, "Sister Lang'er, I, why can't I be happy?" ”

Lang'er's distressed eyes flashed slightly, squatted down, and said with a smile: "Miss is so young, how can she think like an adult?" Look at how well that pot of water lilies blooms. Miss is the age of a flower, she should be dressed up as beautiful as this water lily and enjoy the warm sun. ”

Chen Long'er tilted her head and said, "Sister Lang'er, my grandfather said something to me for a long time last night, and he said that I grew up. But why, as soon as he said that I had grown up, I was so uncomfortable, and my chest was like a stone pressing down on me. Growing up, is it so uncomfortable to grow up? ”

Lang'er smiled lowly, raised her hand to stroke Chen Long'er's slightly messy hair, her hair was soft, as if it hadn't grown yet, and it was a little yellow.

Listening to the sound of several horses' hooves galloping outside the door, in this Changzhou City, there are many prodigal sons of rich and noble families galloping horses, this is nothing surprising, it's just that hearing such a sound of horses' hooves, Chen Long'er's distracted eyes flashed a hint of brilliance.

Her dark eyes widened, and she returned to her former light, and her little feet moved forward two steps, leaving two graceful and soft lotus flowers on the ground where she had been standing.

The breeze blows, and the lotus flower is blown up, turning into incense powder and disappearing in its place.

"Sister Lang'er, did you hear me! It's the sound of horses! ”

Lang'er smiled and said, "Miss wants to go out again?" That's not good, today is the day when Bai Gongzi is hired, you can't go out, and you can't stand in front anymore, let's go back to Xiulou, okay? ”

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, Chen Long'er's small hands were tightly gripping the handkerchief, and her eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment.

Her eyes were full of hatred, and she scolded: "It's just a son-in-law, does the dowry look noble?" Hum! ”

Lang'er hurriedly covered Chen Long'er's lips with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "Miss, don't talk such nonsense." The lord feels sorry for you and is reluctant to let you leave home, otherwise you will have to go to your grandfather's house to live in the next few days, and on the auspicious day of marriage, let the sedan chair go to your grandfather's house to greet your relatives. ”

According to the Changzhou seal, it is generally necessary to let the man who has entered the house to live, and let the daughter live in the grandmother's house, and when it comes to the auspicious period of marriage, there is still a sedan chair to the grandmother's house to greet the relatives, and still bear the dowry and drum music to accompany the family, and the family still arranges the queue of the newlyweds, and welcomes the bride with a warm cannon sound, kicks the sedan car door according to the ancient practice, invites the sedan chair, and leads the newlyweds to the hall to pay respects"Married" as a bride.

When Chen Long'er heard this, she became even more angry, and said, "Can he still drive me away?" The son of a good prefect, he doesn't want to make progress, but he is thinking about coaxing his grandfather here, he doesn't want to make progress, my surname is Chen, his surname is Bai, can my grandfather still not want me for him? ”

Lang'er continued: "Miss knows, the master has always made a promise, this marriage was set by the master and Bai Gongzi's mentor, and the master of the Bai family also testified by hand, if it is not carried out, it is a regret of marriage, how can the master agree?" ”

Chen Long'er shed tears angrily, the tears were crystal clear, and they were connected into a line.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves actually stopped at the gate of Chen's mansion.

Chen Long'er was a little surprised, the Chen family was withering, several uncles had already separated, and the only masters in the house were her and her grandfather, where did they come from on horseback?

Bai Qichang wore a smoky gray Su brocade robe, wore a lacquered yarn feather crown on his head, his side face was like jade, and his crow hair was like a feather, carrying his usual humble gentlemanly style, riding a red horse and standing at the gate of Chen's mansion.

Next to him, there was a handsome young man, the young man smiled and said: "Brother Bai, today is the day when you hire Miss Chen, after today, even if this marriage is really decided, since you have joined the Chen family, you can be regarded as a person from Changzhou, and you can also keep your nationality in Changzhou for the imperial examination in the coming year, so that Brother Bai's talent will not be buried." ”

Bai Qichang smiled slightly in the sun, like a figure like a hollow valley and a jade tree, his eyes were full of confidence again, and he said slowly: "Yes, it's finally not buried." ”
