Outside the city gate, he took off his military uniform and armor, put on ordinary clothes again, and returned to Daxing City with red and swollen eyes.

This simple wish seems to be difficult to achieve, trotting back to the front of his house, the servant guarding the door hurriedly took the reins of Chen Yingliang's horse, Chen Yingliang was about to walk up the steps, but the servant suddenly bowed to the side, and whispered: "Young master, there is a girl who has been wandering around in front of our house, as if she is waiting for someone, I don't know who you know?" ”

"Girl?" Chen Yingliang frowned slightly, turned his head a little curiously, but saw that there was really a girl in red standing on the side of the gate of his house, and he was looking at himself with a cold expression, recognizing the person, Chen Yingliang didn't have any expression, he walked up the steps with a step, and walked directly into the door of his house without looking back, completely ignoring the girl in red.

Seeing that Chen Yingliang was so ruthless and unrighteous, the girl was suddenly lost, gritted her silver teeth again, and simply strode after her, shouting at Chen Yingliang's back: "You, wait." ”

Chen Yingliang stopped, but didn't look back, just turned his back to his former fiancée and said, "What's the matter?" I interceded for your father and brother that day and saved their lives, but haven't we even settled between us? Do you still want me to kowtow to you in person to make amends? ”

"The people don't dare, the people just eat the leopard gall, and they don't dare to ask the court officials to kowtow to the people to make amends." Chai Qian's tone was as cold as Chen Yingliang, and she said: "The people's daughter dared to visit Hou Ye Chen today, because she wanted to completely break off the previous matter and have nothing to do with Hou Ye. ”

As she spoke, Chai Qian took out a small wooden box, stretched out her hand to Chen Yingliang, and said with a wrenched face: "Return this to you, return my family's things, we will be completely cut in two, and there will be no more connections." ”

"Oops." Although he didn't see Chai Qian take out anything on his back, Chen Yingliang still screamed bitterly in his heart, quickly turned his body again, and opened the wooden box handed by Chai Qian to take a look, and saw that on the red silk in the box, there was indeed a beautiful golden hairpin inlaid with jade, Chen Yingliang couldn't help but cry out even more, knowing that this must be the engagement token exchanged between the dead ghost Chen Yingliang and the Chai family.

Sure enough, Chai Qian said with a straight face: "You shouldn't know the origin of this golden hairpin, so I won't say more, now I will return the golden hairpin to you, please return my jade pendant to me, and there will be no more anything to do with each other." ”

Chen Yingliang's face was as ugly as it was, and he replied truthfully after a while: "I'm sorry, that jade pendant has been sold by me, and I can't return it." ”

"Sold by you?" Chai Qian's cold expression finally loosened a little, and there was still a faint indescribable joy and happiness in her heart, but there was some anger on her lips, "Then I am the ancestral jade pendant of my family, the double tiger head Huang Pei handed down from the Han Dynasty, you actually sold it?" ”

"I had no choice, I had to eat and buy horses to raise money for the road, so I had to sell it." Chen Yingliang explained with a dry smile.

"So what do you say?" Chai Qian said with a straight face: "That's the token of my relationship with you back then, if you don't return it, how will I marry in the future?" ”

"It's ......." Chen Yingliang was in great difficulty, and after a little calculation, Chen Yingliang nodded and said: "Then let's do it, I still remember where the jade pendant was sold, I'll go to that jade shop to take a look, if that jade pendant, I will redeem the jade pendant and return it to you." ”

Chai Qian's heart was suddenly disappointed, but her mouth was still extremely tough, and she asked, "Where is it?" How much time does it take? ”

"Not far away, it's a jade shop in the nearby metropolitan city." Chen Yingliang pointed in the direction, and said casually: "You can go back first, and come back tomorrow to see the situation, or take advantage of my current time to redeem the jade pendant with me." ”

As soon as the words came out, Chen Yingliang regretted it a little, but Chai Qian hit the snake with the stick, and immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I will go with you to redeem the jade pendant, the sooner we understand our affairs, the better." ”

Met such a laissez-pied former fiancée, Chen Yingliang was also helpless, obviously saw that Chai Qian actually didn't have any good intentions, but couldn't find anything to refuse, so he had to hurry back to the room to get some gold and copper coins, and took Chai Qian and two subordinates to the city to redeem the tokens of the family, during which Chen Yingliang once politely invited Chai Qian into the house for a while, but was categorically rejected by Chai Qian, and said that the people did not dare to enter the Hou Mansion, Chen Yingliang was helpless and faintly a little angry, so he went with her.

The metropolis is actually next to Yiyangfang, Chen Yingliang led Chai Qian It didn't take much time, and he found the jade shop where he sold the engaged jade pendant, and he also found the shopkeeper who bought the jade pendant at that time, and then Chen Yingliang immediately told the shopkeeper what happened, and asked to redeem the jade pendant at a higher price, the shopkeeper recalled it carefully for a moment, but said with an embarrassed expression: "Childe, the jade pendant you sold at the beginning remembers that it is indeed a double tiger head Huang Pei of the Han Dynasty, but it is really unfortunate, The piece of the double tiger head Huang Pei has already been sold. ”

"Sold? How did it sell so quickly? Chen Yingliang complained.

"It's been sold a long time ago." The shopkeeper replied with a wry smile: "The villain vaguely remembers that after you sold the double tiger shou huang pendant to the small shop, within a few days, a guest officer sold it, which is also your blessing to the son, your Han Dynasty jade pendant is really good, so that the villain made a little profit." ”

"I should have given it to the pawnshop if I knew it, and I could redeem it in at least three months." Chen Yingliang muttered quietly, and hurriedly asked, "Shopkeeper, do you know the guest officer who bought the jade pendant?" ”

"I don't know." The shopkeeper shook his head and replied, "It's been too long, the villain has forgotten even the appearance of the guest officer, only remembers that he seems to be a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, and he doesn't remember anything about the rest." ”

Seeing Chen Yingliang's disappointed look, Chai Qian's heart was happy, and at the same time, she secretly rejoiced, and quietly followed the depressed Chen Yingliang out of the jade shop, Chai Qian finally found an opportunity to make things difficult for Chen Yingliang, and asked Chen Yingliang expressionlessly: "What should I do?" ”

"If only I knew what to do." Chen Yingliang smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Chai, then let's do it, either I have another better jade pendant to compensate you, or you don't return my golden hairpin, let's settle it." ”

Chai Qian was even more expressionless, gritted her silver teeth slightly and said: "No need, I will return your golden hairpin, you give me a letter of resignation, and return my free body, forget about the jade pendant." ”

"Good ......." Chen Yingliang was overjoyed and almost agreed, but seeing the faint tears flickering in the corners of Chai Qian's eyes, Chen Yingliang was a little soft-hearted, and changed his words and said: "There is no need to be like this, we have not officially married, so we don't need to write any resignation letters, right?" Besides, I gave you a letter of resignation, and ...... you are not more harmful to your honor? ”

Chai Qian twisted her pretty face, and after a while, she said with a slight choked voice: "Don't worry about the Hou Ye, the folk girl doesn't care about the famous festival for a long time, anyway, in the current Daxing City, as long as someone mentions the famous Xuchang Marquis Chen, they will definitely mention the Chai family, who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and will also mention the folk girl who looks down on people with dog eyes, and the folk girl has long been downspised about the name or something." ”

Chen Yingliang was silent, and couldn't find anything to comfort the innocent implicated Chai Qian for a while, but fortunately, at this time, a guy suddenly came out of the jade shop, nodded in front of Chen Yingliang and Chai Qian, and said: "Son, madam, what you and the shopkeeper said just now, the villain overheard it, I don't know if you must find the Han Dynasty double tiger head Huang Pei?" ”

"What? Do you know the whereabouts of that jade pendant? Chen Yingliang asked with great joy.

"The villain is lucky, he really knows." The guy replied with a smile: "When the guest officer bought the jade pendant, the villain was in the store, and he saw his appearance, although the villain did not know his identity and name, but when he delivered goods to other guest officers on the same day, he happened to see him enter the gate of a mansion, and it seems that he should live there, if Childe wants to find him, the villain can guide Childe." ”

"Okay, then please show me the way." Chen Yingliang said happily.

"It's no problem to lead the way, but the villain is working, and I'm afraid that the shopkeeper won't agree to ......." The man refused to move, and laughed even more vilely.

Chen Yingliang smiled, and immediately asked the servant to take out the usual money, and threw it to the guy in a very nouveau riche manner, and said with a smile: "Now your shopkeeper can agree, right?" If you get to the place, you will always be rewarded. ”

"Xie Gongzi reward, the villain is not afraid that the shopkeeper will not agree now." The guy happily took the copper coin, and said: "Childe, the place is a little far away, in Longzhengfang, if Childe and Mrs. don't want to walk, it's best to hire a carriage, and the villain will lead the way for you." ”

In order to get rid of Chai Qian's entanglement and completely break off the relationship with her and free up his hands to pursue Yang Yu'er, contemporary Chen Shimei Chen Yingliang of course ordered the servants to hire a car immediately, but Chai Qian was eager to kick the troubled guy to death, and then sat in the carriage angrily, Chai Qian naturally remembered the ambiguous scene when she and Chen Yingliang were traveling in the same car, and her heart was both ashamed and faintly sweet, but unfortunately Chen Yingliang sat directly outside the car very uninterestingly, which made Chai Qian inevitably disappointed. couldn't help but whisper a curse to Chen Yingliang's back, "Wolf heart and dog lungs." ”

Led by the guy from the jade shop, Chen Yingliang and Chai Qian came all the way to the Longzheng Fang, where there were many visitors to the temple, and then they were led by the guy from the shop to the door of an elegant and quiet house, and then the guy pointed to the gate and smiled at Chen Yingliang: "Childe, this is it, the villain saw that the guest officer entered this mansion, and the guest officer got off directly in front of the door, and then the carriage entered the mansion through the side door, so the villain speculated that the guest seemed to be the owner here." ”

"I hope so." Chen Yingliang nodded and stepped out of the carriage.

"I hope not." Chai Qian muttered in her heart, and got out of the carriage angrily.

The door was open, and the door in the gatehouse saw Chen Yingliang and Chai Qian dressed luxuriously, knowing that they were not ordinary people, they also hurried to the door to greet them, and took the initiative to ask Chen Yingliang, who had just walked up the steps: "Son, dare to ask who you are looking for, but do you want the villain to report for you?" ”

"Exactly." Chen Yingliang nodded, and said very politely: "I am tired of informing your master, and I will say that Chen Yingliang, the prince's right internal deputy, has something to visit, and I implore the master to take the time to meet and ask for something next." ”

"Chen Yingliang, the prince's right inner deputy?" The disciple was startled and exclaimed, "Childe, you are the famous Xiao Chen Qingzhi?" Chen Yingliang, the chief contributor to the suppression of Yang Xuangan's rebellion, Chen Yingliang, deputy leader? ”

"What? Have you heard my name too? Chen Yingliang asked with a smile.

"Have you ever heard of it? Vice Chen's famous leader, who doesn't know in Daxing City? Who doesn't know? The man was very excited, and then patted his head and said: "Oh no, I forgot about Deputy Chen's business, Deputy Chen forgave your sins, it's really unfortunate, my master went to the imperial city on an errand and hasn't come back yet." ”

"It turns out that your master is also an official of the imperial court, so when will he be able to come back?" Chen Yingliang hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, I should have come back a long time ago, but I don't know why I haven't come back today." The man looked embarrassed, and said quickly: "Deputy Chen, otherwise, my master's nephew happens to be at home, and the villain will ask him to come out to meet you, wait at home for a while, and then my master should also come back." ”

"Very good, then there will be work." Chen Yingliang nodded, the man was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran into the house to report the news, and it was at this time that Chen Yingliang suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to inquire about the name and official position of the master here, but fortunately, it was not a big deal, and Chen Yingliang didn't pay much attention to it. Chai Qian stood behind Chen Yingliang with a straight face, silent, and didn't know what she was thinking.

After another moment, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy suddenly ran over from the courtyard in a hurry, and shouted in surprise with ecstatic face from afar: "Vice President Chen! I'm not dreaming, am I? It's really you, I didn't expect you to come to my uncle's house, little brother just now, I almost thought I heard it wrong! ”

"How are you?" Chen Yingliang was a little dumbfounded, because this young man was none other than the elder brother of the pair of young brothers and sisters who appeared beside the Li family brothers on the day Wei Xuan returned to Beijing in triumph.

"It's me, I didn't expect Vice President Chen to remember my little brother, my little brother is so honored." The young man nodded vigorously, replied with excitement on his face, and then couldn't wait to bow his hand, and said loudly: "The younger brother, Sun Wuji, has seen the famous general Chen Vice of the Great Sui, and the deputy rate is fine. ”

"Eldest grandson ......, Mowgli?" Chen Yingliang returned the salute a little dejected, but fortunately, he had already passed the test of the two Li brothers before, and Chen Yingliang did not scream as much as he did when he saw Li Jiancheng. But soon, Chen Yingliang's heart shook again, and he secretly shouted: "Could it be that that cute little Lili that day is ......?" ”

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, at this moment, behind the wall in the courtyard, suddenly flashed out a beautiful and lovely little Li, Sven walked in front of Chen Yingliang dignifiedly, saluted Chen Yingliang and said: "Chen Gongzi, we meet again, the little daughter and grandson are innocent, I have seen Gongzi, Gongzi Wanfu." ”

"It's really you!" Chen Yingliang finally couldn't help but scream, and then hurriedly returned the salute to the eldest grandson, and said with a smile: "Little sister Wuji, I really thank you for your timely dissuasion, otherwise, under the impulse of the foolish brother, maybe it will be a big mistake." ”

"Childe is polite." The eldest grandson Wujian remembered the scene of that day, his cute little face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and said: "It was the son's magnanimity and generosity, and he repaid the grievances with virtue, which forgave the Cheshire family. ”

"There, there, it's Sister Wuji, you are kind-hearted, and you woke me up in time, I thank you It's too late, how can I worry about you?" Chen Yingliang pretended to please the future virtuous queen, and at the same time took the opportunity to carefully look at the eldest grandson Wuji, and found that the eldest grandson queen who was still in the stage of Luo Li was indeed a beautiful embryo, even if she was born with beautiful eyebrows, her skin was still as white as clotted fat, and it was so tender that she seemed to be able to pinch it out of the water - Chen Ying estimated in his conscience that if this Luo Li grew up, her appearance would never be under Yang Yu'er, the goddess in her current heart.

Xiao Luoli was silent, and secretly glanced at Chen Yingliang again, her pink face was suddenly red, and she was very sorry in her heart, "Why didn't he wear the white robe and silver armor of that day today?" He put on a white robe and silver armor, and was much more handsome than usual. ”

"Vice President Chen, you don't have to be polite to us." The eldest grandson Wuji said excitedly: "If you don't mind, you can call me Wuji directly, my sister's nickname is Guanyin, you can just call her that, don't be so polite." ”

"Okay." Chen Yingliang smiled and said: "Brother Wuji, the kind and lovely little sister of Guanyin, the foolish brother will call you that in the future, but you don't need to call me an official, we are about the same age, I am slightly older than you, just call me brother or Brother Chen." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji, who admired Chen Yingliang very much, nodded vigorously and agreed loudly, while Xiao Luoli blushed even more and nodded slightly, and then immediately after, the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said: "Brother, please come inside, uncle he went on an errand and didn't come back, please come to the house to sit temporarily, our cousin Gao Cheng is only five years old now, and he is not very sensible, I will call him to come to you to see you after you go in." ”

"Then bother." Of course, Chen Yingliang didn't mind having a good relationship with the eldest grandson brother and sister, so he agreed, and unceremoniously followed the eldest grandson brother and sister into the house.

"Hey, did you forget about me?"

Chai Qian's cold voice suddenly came from behind him, it turned out that Chai Qian had been standing by the door, the eldest grandson brothers and sisters only cared about being intimate and polite with Chen Yingliang, and they simply paid attention to Chai Qian, who was blocked by the door, and Chen Yingliang only cared about paying attention to the eldest grandson Wuji, who was still in the stage of Lili, and forgot his former fiancée in the style of Chen Shimei, which would of course make Chai Qian's face as ugly as it was.

"Sister Chai? Why are you here too?! The eldest grandson and sister exclaimed together, and then turned their heads to look at Chen Yingliang together, their eyes were full of doubts, obviously surprised how Chen Yingliang could be with Chai Qian?

"Brother Wuji, little sister Guanyin, don't get me wrong, I'm with her, there is one thing that hasn't been settled yet." Chen Yingliang explained with an embarrassed dry smile, and asked again: "By the way, have you ever seen such a jade pendant?" The jade is Han Dynasty mutton fat jade, and the shape is two tiger heads and a rainbow, and the rainbow is on the heads of two tigers. ”
