Lin Qiantan knew that with Chu Shen's experience, it was not impossible to see her calculations in the matter of changing rooms. But suspicion will only be suspicion, and things without evidence will always be speculation.

Chu Shen was full of anger, and he had nowhere to vent his anger, but he still endured his anger and sent Lin Qiantan all the way to the capital. After only two days of slow driving, the carriage walked on the official road, and he could gradually see the towering shadow of the capital city wall at the end of the road. Lin Qiantan was a little excited, and she was about to see her uncle.

The Chu family had obviously also received the news of Lin Qiantan's imminent arrival. Chu Shen has always been conscientious in such a matter, and he will not let people fall behind. The one who came to pick up Lin Qiantan was Lin Qiantan's cousin Chu Jiang.

As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the capital, Lin Qiantan couldn't wait to lift the curtain on the window by herself, and smiled happily at Chu Jiang: "Cousin, long time no see!"

Her joy was so obvious that everyone in the car and under the car was a little stunned, and Chu Jiang straightened her eyes, and she couldn't react.

In fact, the cousin and sister have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and their relationship is very good. There was also a frequent exchange of letters. Last year, when Chu Jiang went out to travel, he also passed through Yunzhou and met Lin Qiantan specially.

But that's the other Lin Qiantan, this one, and the cousin who should have been dead for several years, it's really "long time no see".

For Lin Qiantan, who is in her twenties, Chu Jiang's time is still stuck at this time when the Chu family has not had an accident a few years ago, and one of the culprits who caused the destruction of the Chu family is now standing in front of Chu Jiang, and after Lin Qiantan and Chu Jiang briefly greeted each other, they reported to Chu Jiang about the big and small things they had on the way from Pingyuan County to the capital.

Don't exaggerate a single point, and don't hide the occasional dereliction of duty, Lin Qiantan watched Chu Shen report to Chu Jiang, and secretly said in her heart, this person is less than forty years old, and he has already achieved the position of a senior steward in a big family like the Chu family, and he does have some ability.

It's a pity that Jin Yu is ruined on the outside. If he hadn't known in advance, Lin Qiantan wouldn't have deliberately targeted him.

Chu Jiang's gentle smile made Lin Qiantan nostalgic, and the habitual curvature of the corners of his mouth when he talked to Chu Shen also made Lin Qiantan excited. After all, it is a loved one who has lost once, and it is normal to get excited and get it back.

Chu Jiang heard Chu Shen's report, turned to Lin Qiantan and smiled: "Your uncle unfortunately went out, and before leaving, he asked me to say sorry to you for him, your aunt and your second cousin are already waiting for you in the house, and they are all looking forward to it."

As he spoke, he took Lin Qiantan to the Chu family's mansion.

Lin Qiantan smiled, and didn't dare to say it, her uncle and second cousin Chu Lingpan must be true, as for her aunt, forget it.

Jiang Ningniang is like all the sisters-in-law in this world who can't get along with her sister-in-law, and she has a bad relationship with Chu Ling, the second daughter of the previous generation who married outside the Chu family, that is, Lin Qiantan's biological mother.

Jiang Ningniang's little Chuling is two years old, but she is a sister-in-law. Although Chu Ling married outside, as long as she returned to her parents' house, she could always set off Jiang Ningniang like an outsider.

It's no wonder that Jiang Ningniang doesn't have a good impression of the daughter born to her sister-in-law.

Slander in her heart, Lin Qiantan still wants to see this aunt.

Because, there are no eggs under the nest, how can Jiang Ningniang survive after the accident of the Chu family.

Thinking about it this way, my aunt is not so hateful.

She looked at Chu Shen again.

I don't know if Chu Shen thought about this heroine who was kind to him when he sent out those letters related to the fate of the Chu family?

Lin Qiantan was thinking about the past, and Chu Jiang was introducing the changes in the capital to Lin Qiantan, his voice was clear and very good, making people feel that a small stream was flowing in their ears.

From the teahouses and taverns along the street, to the newly opened characteristic shops in Beijing, from the vines climbing the wall of the city gate tower, to the banyan trees that have been around the road for some years. Or they will also say some news about princes and nobles, peddlers and pawns to make Lin Qiantan happy.

Chu Jiang said while Lin Qiantan listened, although Lin Qiantan knew all of these things, but when she listened to it again, she didn't feel bored at all.

When Chu Jiang saw his cousin, he was happy, and he was talking with his eyebrows, but he inadvertently looked back and suddenly met Lin Qiantan's warm eyes that he didn't have time to take back.

Lin Qiantan naturally doesn't have any special meaning, but when she sees her relatives who have been reunited after a long absence, she moves with her heart, and she likes to see the living Chu Jiang talking from the bottom of her heart.

But the tenderness in Lin Qiantan's eyes was seen in the eyes of Chu Jiang, who knew nothing about the later tragedy, was a completely different matter.

Chu Jiang has already reached adulthood, he is a big man, but he has not married yet, all because he has a person in his heart who has told him to wait for a long time, and this person is now by his side to listen to his story.

originally thought that she could only be a cousin for a lifetime, but thought that the other party didn't mean that to herself, and suddenly she was looked at like that, and the young man's originally barely calm heart suddenly became chaotic.

However, Chu Jiang is Chu Jiang after all, how his heart fluctuates, his face is still as warm as jade, and seeing that Lin Qiantan seems to like to listen to him, he is even more energetic, and he collects some interesting anecdotes about the capital recently for Lin Qiantan to entertain.

However, if the young man knew what he said that his cousin didn't know, Lin Qiantan knew better than him, and he didn't know what kind of mood he would have.

After all, after his death, Lin Qiantan stayed in the capital for a few years, and also witnessed the development of some things.

Some things that seem to be small things at the moment have snowballed and become sensational events.

For example, Chu Jiangzheng said that a while ago, the Yang family married the daughter of the family to an ordinary merchant, and in order to express his sincerity, the merchant gave a dowry gift with a specification second only to the royal wife, and married grandly. At this time, many people in the capital are using this matter as a talking point.

Everyone either laughed at the fact that the daughter of a centuries-old family was ruined by her biological parents to marry a ninth-rate businessman, or like Chu Jiang, she lamented that the man was sincere in marrying a wife.

Who would have thought that when the Yang family was unlucky with the Chu family not long after, the whole family would also suffer. None of the people in the family survived, but the third lady who was ridiculed by tens of millions of people was still held in the palm of her hand by the son of the merchant family, doubling her care.

The contradictions between the major families and the imperial power are there, since the end of the previous dynasty, the Xiao royal family of the Xia Dynasty at that time has not allowed the family to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.

Today's Dashang Emperor is the same. destroyed the Xia Dynasty, but inherited part of the legacy of the Xia Dynasty. The Chu family is a thorn in the side, the Yang family is also a thorn in the side, and Emperor Tianlong's big sword has actually been hanging over everyone's heads for many years.
