Chapter 66: Preparing for Marriage
She thought as she crouched deeper, lifting the branch with difficulty to take a look. Just as she had envisioned, the thing was hollow, and it made a crisp sound of landing. But it was pitch black inside, like a bottomless blind well.
There's nothing hidden in the Treasure Map Secret Scroll or anything like that.
Chen Wangshu was a little embarrassed and put the branch back in place, and looked at the door casually.
The door was empty, and the Li family had been struggling to come.
After a few moments, the door to the inner chamber opened.
Chen Wangshu stood up suddenly and carefully observed the expressions of the two.
Yan Jue looked a little dazed, like a lost lamb; Chen Qingji was as calm as a stone statue in the Confucius Temple, and he didn't even brow, so he couldn't see his thoughts.
Before, he was like thunder, as if Chen Wangshu had imagined it himself.
"You go back first. One by one, according to custom. Before the wedding, don't come to my house casually, especially if you can't see each other with a book, it's really not polite. β
Yan Jue nodded with a glare, like a robot that had been instructed, and walked out obediently, without even giving Chen Wangshu a look.
Chen Wangshu was shocked, couldn't it be that her father got the true inheritance of Tianshan Tong and planted a life and death charm for people?
Or is what she is wearing not actually a love story, but a ghost story?
After Yan Jue left, Chen Qingshu frowned and looked at Chen Wangshu: "Wangshu acted too recklessly today. Don't say that the holy decree has not been issued, it has been issued, and if you have not been married for a day, then you are the daughter of the Chen family. Where is the reason why a foreign man is coming, and Baba is running over? β
"Punish you for being grounded before you get married, and embroider the dowry with Ah Tian. The four princes returned to Beijing, the situation between the DPRK and China is changing rapidly, and now you are connected to the Chen family and the Huguo Mansion, and there are indispensable people who come forward to test it. β
"It's okay to avoid it at home", Chen Qingzhi said, a little uncomfortable, "I am not at home with Changyan Changge all the year round, your sister-in-law has a calm temperament and is too particular about the rules, although I respect your mother, but it is difficult to be intimate." β
"It's just you...... Alas, before getting married, accompany your aunt more. β
Chen Wangshu was stunned for a moment, his eyes moved, and he said tentatively, "That day in Zhangjiazhuang, Changge went to see Zhang Chao'er, and Daddy should teach him a good lesson." If the daughter is married, can the father be less away and go home more to accompany the mother? β
Chen Qingzhi nodded without fluctuation, "Changge is playful and lively, and it is not the work of the scholars." Daddy has already punished him for copying books and grounding him, and he will not be able to come back until the New Year's Festival. Eat the king's luck, worry about the king, and Daddy also obeys orders. β
As he spoke, he raised his head, glanced at Chen Wangshu, was silent for a while, and then opened his mouth again, sighing:
"Yan Jue is also a poor person."
When Chen Wangshu heard it, there was a story in it! She still wanted to ask more, but Chen Qingzhi waved her hand, "There are some things, when you should know, you will naturally know, no need to ask." Let's go back to bathe and change your clothes, and the decree will arrive in a moment. β
Chen Qingshu has always said that he is the same, he must do what he says, and he has accumulated great prestige in the Chen family, even Chen Wangshu does not dare to make a mistake casually.
She thought that hearing is false and seeing is believing, and the people here have eighteen bends in their brains, maybe they say it, or coax her, it is better for her to marry Yan Jue and find out by herself.
What Chen Wangshu didn't see was that as soon as she left, Chen Qingji immediately squatted down, picked up the golden branch that Chen Wangshu had kicked off earlier, circled around the golden tree three times, and gestured with his hand in the air.
Fang determined the location, walked straight over, and embedded the broken branch on another finger.
A crisp click sounded in the room.
Chen Qingzhi didn't have any waves on his face, and walked to the break that Chen Wangshu had made before, stretched out two fingers, and took out a piece of silk cloth.
The cloth is as thin as a cicada's wings, almost invisible.
There were some lines like earthworms drawn on it, Chen Qingji picked it up and looked out the window, the silk cloth became a map in an instant, he seemed to see something, and his face changed slightly.
Slipped the silk cloth into his sleeve pocket. He stretched out his hand and lifted up the golden tree lying on the ground, and went into the inner chamber.
After a while, he came out again, and his hands were already empty, and there was nothing left.
β¦β¦
The holy decree of marriage in the palace came in the evening, and the time was set in a very hurry, and on the fifteenth day of the next month, it was actually pushed back the family affairs of the seven princes and Gao Mucheng, and their happy events were done first.
At this time, the people in the city who don't boast that the official family loves Yan Jue far more than their own son.
As soon as Chen Wangshu received the will, he was grounded again. Only the Li family was busy, holding a thick stack of lists every day, and she chose to prepare the dowry.
The Chen family has a background, and it is not obvious on weekdays, but when the dowry is listed and the two booklets are handed over to Chen Wangshu, she really has a real sense that she is a rich woman and is about to raise a little white face!
As soon as people get busy, time flies, and soon it is June.
Maybe because she is not the protagonist, these days are so calm that people feel that she has simply crossed over to retire. Jiang Yechen was too popular before, and finally the four princes came out to block the gun, but now he feels like a confinement, and if he can, he won't go out.
Liu Ying is even more needless to say, with the golden egg pimple, I can't wait to spend a day for my mother, the child in her belly has passed a thousand days, and she is born as a Nezha, and she will occupy the position of the eldest son.
And Yan Jue, as if he had been poured ecstasy soup by Chen Qingji, not to mention the shadow, not even a single hair had ever floated over.
Chen Wangshu stretched out his hand and touched the three milk cats who stepped on Yunsheng, it has only been a long time, and the little guy who couldn't even open his eyes before, is now fluffy, and he is particularly good.
"Of these three cubs, none of them were born as majestic as stepping on clouds, and they looked a little naΓ―ve."
The three cats are all yellow-colored, and they should be like their wild fathers who don't know where!
"Girl, be gentle, but don't touch the baldness. This cardamom is going to be given to Miss Tian as a dowry. Tearing books is what the eldest lady wants to raise...... Ming'er has a lot of people who want to add makeup to the girl. The eldest lady explained and asked me to move a few of the Yunniang to her side, so that people would be frightened. β
Chen Wangshu reluctantly withdrew his hand, "I know, I know." β
She is getting married, and Li is quite reluctant. I came to take a look that day, and said that these three kittens, one of them had a particularly thick hair on the skull, like Chen Wangshu when he was born, so he insisted on going, and gave her a name, called Sishu.
The intention was good, but after a few days, as the reputation of this little milk cat who is good at eating books spreads more and more in the house, thinking about books has become tearing books!
Bai Porcelain saw that Mu Hibiscus couldn't be persuaded for a long time, and said with a smile, "Girl Ming'er can collect some treasures, if you don't rest earlier, I'm afraid you don't have to count the money softly......"
Chen Wangshu was excited, and suddenly became happy, "Haha, sleep, sleep, get my big box ready, I'll see which of them is embarrassed to pick and search!" β
