Ye Yijian stood in front of the door of the front hall, his hands clenched into fists, his chest rising and falling violently. The handmaiden, who looked like a peugeot, had erected a curtain of bamboo brocade for him, but his legs seemed to be filled with lead.

The eldest princess entered the house first with the support of Chu Junlan, and let out a sigh when she passed by Ye Yi's side.

The window in the house was half open, the setting sun was shining, and a tall figure wearing a half-worn silver-gray shirt with snow-white hair turned his back to the door, heard the sound of footsteps, put one hand behind him, and slowly turned around.

It was an extremely handsome man, except for the white hair and the faint vertical lines on the eyebrows, the years seemed to be unbearable to leave any traces on him, he looked at it with a pair of eyes as gentle as Ye Yiji, his eyes were wise and transparent, as if everything had been looked down, and he did not hide it when he looked at Chu Junlan, but there was no malice.

This is Ye Zhao, the champion of Yongde's 29th year, who was both civil and military? It really lives up to its name.

It's just that he was born early, and his temperament is a little melancholy, I don't know what happened when he disappeared for seventeen years, leaving his wife and children behind.

Chu Junlan curtsied, and Ye Zhao returned the salute with a smile.

Chu Junlan smiled and said, "Eldest princess, I'll leave first." ”

The eldest princess looked at Ye Zhao with mixed feelings, she was glad that he was alive, and she felt pity for her only daughter who had been waiting for her all her life, and at this time, she couldn't take care of Chu Junlan, so she only nodded and let Ruan take charge to send off the guests.

Chu Junlan came to the door, saw Ye Yijian who was still in a daze, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Don't go in yet?" ”

Ye Yi gradually muttered: "He, I...... I haven't seen him, I should ......" as if he had just come back to his senses, and stopped with an embarrassed expression.

Chu Junlan smiled and encouraged: "He came back safely, he didn't want you, this is a good thing." It's always father and son, and if you have something to say, just say it. ”

Ye Yi gradually looked at Chu Junlan, as if analyzing her words, but Su Ri's extremely smart mind was now sluggish, and he nodded in understanding for a long time.

"I know, thank you."

Chu Junlan smiled and nodded: "Farewell." ”

"I'll send you."

"Stay, I'll come back to you another day, you go down to business first." Chu Junlan said goodbye to Ye Yi, and left the eldest princess's mansion quickly. Thinking carefully about Ye Yiji's family, it is inevitable to sigh.

Chu Junlan had just returned home, and Baole and Zi Yan rushed to tell her a big news.

"Third Miss! The second lady's family affair is decided! Zi Yan said.

Chu Junlan was surprised, and said as he walked into the house: "My father had been hesitating about this matter before, why did he suddenly make up his mind?" ”

"I heard that it was because of the last time I fell into the water," Baole followed behind Chu Junlan, "There are a lot of rumors outside, Xu is master thinks it's not good to go on like that, and he can't expect the second lady to marry a big family, just in time for someone to propose marriage, so he agreed." ”

"What kind of person is it?" Chu Junlan arrived at a glass of water to drink.

Zi Yan said: "I heard that the old man of the Jiang family used to be an official in the court, but he was forced to govern in his early years because he was involved in something. Now there is no official in his family, but fortunately, his family has a strong foundation, and I heard that the family is very wealthy. ”

Baole analyzed: "Maybe his family also sees that the third lady is a little doctor fairy, and in the future, it will be Gongding Wang's princess who is willing to climb this family business, or even if his family has no children, he will not marry a concubine with a bad reputation." ”

"I see."

Chu Cailiang has always refused to suffer, and the other party can neither be a help in the court, but it is also good to make a fortune economically.

"Since the second sister is engaged, I naturally want to express it, but I am very poor, and I don't have any good things for her. Zi Yan," Chu Junlan handed over a small medicine bottle, "This is for treating sore throats, the first three of them are taken, you take them to the second lady, and say that this medicine is all taken as congratulations." ”

"Oh, got it!"

Zi Yan almost couldn't help laughing, anxious to see how Chu Mengying reacted, and ran out happily.

Chu Mengying stared at the medicine bottle, and fell in front of Zi Yan, although she practiced three pills, Zi Yan still saw that she was physically and mentally comfortable, and came back and said it to Chu Junlan.

Chu Mengying lay on the bed and cried: "That cheap hoof, poisonous prostitute!" It's a curse, I'm crying hoarsely! ”

She didn't care so much, she vented fiercely, but after a while, she had a plan.

"If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

The next day, just in time for Chu Cailiang to be at home, Chu Mengying smiled and proposed when he was in a coma: "Father, my daughter has a small proposal, I don't know what my father thinks." ”

The family was talking in a low voice, and they all looked at Chu Mengying.

Chu Cailiang asked suspiciously: "What is the proposal?" ”

"My daughter thought, the last time we went to the palace, we were entertained, and out of courtesy, we should really hold a banquet in the palace to entertain the prince. A while ago, before King Gongding returned to Beijing, the prince often came to our house to walk around, thinking that the prince was willing to come in the future. Now people outside say that the prince has also been cured a lot by the third sister, and the old lady and the second aunt must also want to see the third sister's future husband. ”

Chu Cailiang's eyes lit up, and he immediately clapped his hands: "This is a very good idea." However, I heard that in addition to the prince, there are four young masters and five daughters in the Gongding Palace, if they can be invited together, they will also be regarded as in-laws to meet each other early, Sister Lan, what do you say? Chu Cailiang looked at Chu Junlan inquiringly.

Chu Junlan looked at Chu Mengying's expression and said with a smile: "The rest of the young masters and young ladies, I just have a relationship. The implication is that those who climb high on their feet may not be willing to give face.

Chu Cailiang nodded clearly: "That's fine, but the second son is to be invited together, and the last time he was abrupt, this time he should make amends." ”

"That's what my father said." Chu Mengying nodded.

Chu Junlan looked at Chu Mengying quietly, not knowing what this flower was trying to invite Xiao Xu and Xiao Yunpeng for.

Chu Cailiang quickly made a post.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Xu and Xiao Yunpeng arrived as promised with their entourage.

Chu Cailiang took Chu Huazhang and Chu Huayun to the front of the courtyard.

The old lady and the second aunt Zhou followed with the daughters of the Chu family.

"The prince and the second son are coming, and the humble house is shining!" Chu Cailiang laughed and bowed.

Xiao Xu's face was cold, he didn't say a word, he was already handsome, and his brocade clothes added to the luxury, and when he didn't speak, he refused to be thousands of miles away, making Chu Cailiang take two steps back inexplicably, for fear of offending him.

Xiao Yunpeng was gentle and polite, and returned the salute: "Lord Chu." ”

The ladies of the Chu family were all looking at Xiao Xu and Xiao Yunpeng, and everyone was surprised.

Has the fool been cured? Chu Mengying wrung her handkerchief, what kind of luck did Chu Junlan hit!
