Chapter 137: Returning Home

Walking out of the imperial city, Chen Yue saw Du Yuan, a military householder, waiting on the side of the road, talking with Chen Ping and Chen Yan with a smile. Seeing Chen Yue come out, Du Yuan trotted all the way to greet him.

"Alas, my young master, you can figure it out."

"Brother Du, why are you here, my sister-in-law?" Chen Yue asked with a smile.

"Go and go, how can you greet someone's daughter-in-law as soon as you meet!" Du Yuan feigned anger and said, "General Chen, his old man is busy with military affairs, let me come to pick you up, as for your sister-in-law, they are busier than me now." ”

Du Yuan brought a blue sedan chair, but Chen Yue didn't want to sit on it, but flew on a war horse and took Chen Ping and Chen Yan to their home.

"Alas, young master, wait for me, now your family doesn't live in the original alley." Du Yuan rushed up and grabbed the reins of the war horse.

Under the leadership of Du Yuan, Chen Yue and others returned to their "new home", which is a three-entry house not far from the original Huaishu Hutong, covering an area of four or five acres, which is already very large in this inner city.

The front yard is an empty martial arts training ground, dozens of young family members are practicing martial arts, seeing Chen Yue and others enter the door, many family members show curious looks, when they see Chen Yue's face clearly, one by one they kneel on the ground excitedly and salute.

"These are the general's new family members, most of them are the children of the old people in the army, they are the second son and the third son, and they can't inherit the position in the army. I'm working on martial arts now. Du Yuan introduced beside Chen Yue.

Chen Yue found many acquaintances in it, some of whom were actually childhood playmates, all of whom were children of military households in Beijing. According to the military household system, each military household can only have one son to inherit his official position, and other sons can only find their own way out.

Chen Jianghe suddenly became rich and noble, and was promoted from a mere general banner to a general general, and now he has become a guerrilla general, which naturally attracted the attention of the children of the army. Chen Jianghe was originally poor, his family couldn't afford to support his family at all, and he didn't have any henchmen, so now is naturally a good time to enter the Chen family. Many military families came to the door to ask for help, asking for their sons to be sent to the house to be a family. After Chen Jianghe was screened, most of them remained. According to Du Yuan, there are now 100 families in the house, and only some of them are in this courtyard, and more than half of them are on duty with Chen Jianghe.

Accompanied by Du Yuan, he crossed the front yard and passed through the atrium, and stopped in front of the moon gate leading to the backyard.

"Miss Wu has instructed that outsiders are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard, so I can't accompany you in, young master." Du Yuan stood apologetically at the door of the moon and stopped Chen Ping and Chen Yan, who were going to accompany them in.

Through small talk along the way, Chen Yue already knew Du Yuan's current identity, which was the first chief butler of the Chen Mansion. His daughter-in-law Ma Shi is also working in the house, and she is a celebrity next to Wu Wan'er.

Saying goodbye to Du Yuan and the others, Chen Yue entered the inner courtyard alone. The inner courtyard and the outer courtyard are very different, the rockery pond has a unique hole, and a few bushes of plum blossoms bloom in the corner of the wall, emitting an attractive fragrance of flowers. The good-looking maids were busy, and after seeing Chen Yue, they hurriedly squatted down and saluted, but their faces showed a curious look, it seemed that they had been instructed to know that this was their master back.

"Master, you're finally back!" A gust of fragrant wind hit, Wu Wan'er rushed out, and stood in front of Chen Yue with joy and disgust.

The light blue brocade skirt, the gold hairpin and silver bracelets, and the white and delicate face, the graceful posture is both dignified and delicate, and Chen Yue's eyes are straightened. Compared with Wu Wan'er, although Princess Kunxing is much more beautiful, she is more like a girl who has not grown up.

"Master, wash it first, I've already asked the maid to cook the fragrant soup, and your body is dirty!" Wu Wan'er said with a smile.

Chen Yue sniffed himself, and a rancid smell came to his nose, so he smiled, he had been fighting outside for two months, surrounded by rude soldiers, and it was a cold winter, and he hadn't taken a bath for a long time.

The four corners of the room are burned red fragrant charcoal, the whole room is warm, a huge wooden barrel in the center of the room, the steam above the barrel is steam Miaomiao, with the help of the two maids, Chen Yue took off his armor, took off his coat, waved his hand to drive the two maids out, stripped naked, jumped into the barrel naked, was scalded by the hot water, the pores of the whole body expanded, and suddenly let out a happy moan.

In such an environment, being able to soak in a hot bath is nothing more than happiness.

Lying in the wooden barrel, looking up at the carved beams on the roof, the corner of his eyes swept over the brand-new curtains hanging around the house, Chen Yue shook his head, this Wu Wan'er is worthy of being a woman from a big family, in just two months, the family has become so luxurious!

Chen Yue didn't mind enjoying the huge mansions, the herds of slaves and maids, and the luxurious environment, but he knew the course of history and knew that all this was meaningless, and with the fall of Beijing a year later, everything would be in ashes.

With his head resting on the edge of the barrel, his thoughts flew away, and he gradually became confused, and in his half-asleep sleep, someone came in and gently added hot water to the barrel.

Someone walked in again, and a pair of soft little hands placed on Chen Yue's shoulders, kneading them gently.

"No need, you can get out!" Chen Yue came to his senses and said to the person behind him, turning his head, only to see Wu Wan'er's white and shy face.

"Scared, Wan'er, why are you? How could you be allowed to do such a thing. Chen Yue hurriedly said, wanting to stand up and feeling inappropriate, he hurriedly shrunk his whole body in the water.

"Master, people are your slaves, shouldn't they be waiting for you?" Wu Wan'er blushed, but a pair of watery eyes looked directly at Chen Yue, and said delicately.

"Who said you are a slave, you are free!" Chen Yue waved his hands indiscriminately and said, "Besides, who in this family dares to treat you as a slave?" ”

"The slave family is just a slave for you." Looking at Chen Yue's strong pectoral muscles, Wu Wan'er blushed and lowered her head.

Looking at the shy Wu Wan'er, Chen Yue, who was inexperienced, also knew her intentions, and now as long as he stretched out his hand, he could pull her into his arms and hum haha, Chen Yue suddenly became hot, and his little brother also raised his head and was ready to move.

Just when he was about to stretch out his hand, he saw that Wu Wan'er's waist twisted, and she turned around and left.

"Master, I put your clothes on the stool by the barrel for you, don't wash them for too long, be careful of catching a cold. Hee-hee......"

It's so dangerous, it's a good thing that she didn't come, otherwise she really couldn't control herself. Chen Yue lay in the barrel, secretly glad in his heart. This is not the time to look for a woman.
