Chapter 197: Take Me Home
Leng Lan frowned, although she didn't sweat, her face was red. It seems that it is really hot.
Chu Jiayin picked another leaf, handed it to her, and said, "Give you one." β
Leng Lan glanced at the leaves handed over, smiled slightly at Chu Jiayin, and then took it and instigated it. Due to the violent movements, the leaf was scrapped in a short time.
The men next to him were watching all the time, and when they saw the scene of Leng Lan compared to others, they couldn't help but laugh if they were afraid of Leng Lan or not.
The ridicule of the gang immediately changed to a cold blue dead man's face, which immediately shocked everyone, and no one dared to smile on their faces except Chu Jingyan. As for Chu Jingyan's smile, who knows if he was laughing at it or not, maybe he just secretly thought that his daughter-in-law was so cute, and maybe he hadn't carefully observed Leng Lan from beginning to end.
Leng Lan had never seen Chu Jingyan smile before, and now that she saw him smiling, she didn't think that his smile would be because of herself, so why make fun of him?
"It's going to be today, don't be impatient. The mind is calm and naturally cool. Chu Jingyan didn't have a backache when he stood and spoke, he stood under the sun for a long time, he really didn't sweat at all, and he didn't feel that he was hot.
Perhaps, it's really calm and naturally cool!
However, no one wants to listen to his nonsense, and now it has reached the point where it is so hot that it can't be calm, where is it naturally cool? Save it!
"It's coming!" The crowd shouted with a little excitement, and everyone's eyes shifted to the distance, only to see a carriage slowly approaching, followed by four or five domestic servants, a maid, and a groom.
Leng Lan stepped forward and glanced at it, then turned around and asked Chu Jingyan, "It's that group of people, right?" β
"There is basically no one in the northwest, that's about right." Chu Jingyan had already beckoned everyone to prepare to go.
Leng Lan was taken aback: "About?" Chu Jingyan, don't you make fun of us? β
In fact, Chu Jingyan is very meticulous in his work, how could he say words like approximate.
"That's it!" Chu Jingyan seemed to be forced to submit.
As soon as these words came out, everyone finally put their minds at ease. Chu Jiayin also followed the big guy to get ready, although she didn't need her for a while, she could only pick up the girl's clothes and pretend to be her.
"I think it's better to call a few more people to follow me and Miss Yinyin to pretend to be members of her family for a while, it's better than pretending to be robbed by some bandits, and then you have to lie or something." Leng Lan proposed.
Chu Jiayin hurriedly said: "I think Sister Leng Lan is right, since the bandits robbed, why did our two weak women escape, it is unreasonable." β
"Okay, then do as you say." Chu Jingyan actually thought about it, but he didn't think about it at that time, so why did this girl's family go out with only four or five people.
It stands to reason that according to the style of that girl's family, this kind of pomp and circumstance of sending the young lady out to her uncle's house will probably not be less than twenty people. Now there are only four or five people left, but it is much easier to dress up.
"By the way, second brother, what's the girl's name?" Chu Jiayin suddenly realized that he didn't know anything.
Chu Jingyan stuffed a piece of paper to her and asked her to look at it slowly, then called the people behind her and rushed to the front road to block the group of pedestrians.
Soon after, all kinds of cries for mercy sounded here, and there was really no ability to resist at all!
Chu Jiayin spread out the piece of paper that the second brother stuffed into him, and wrote clearly the birthday of the girl who was robbed by them, etc., and her name was Liu Qingqing.
Chu Jiayin found a stone in the clearing, and there was a small tree next to it, so she sat there to enjoy the shade, watching the people in the distance ping pong non-stop!
It didn't take long for those people to be completely subdued by Chu Jingyan and them, and their things were almost packed up. Several soldiers changed the clothes of the domestic servants, and Leng Lan beckoned Chu Jiayin to come over again.
Chu Jiayin hurriedly jumped down from the stone and quickly ran there. The girl in the carriage trembled and glanced at Leng Lan and the others, very scared, and the maid next to her was the same.
After seeing Chu Jiayin, the girl's face finally improved, and she stared at Chu Jiayin with some envy for a while. This girl is really mediocre as the second brother said, not really mediocre, but her face is not good, I'm afraid it can't be regarded as pleasing to the eye.
"Yinyin, you and her clothes should be changed." Chu Jingyan said.
After driving down the maid who was in the way next to her, Chu Jiayin nodded and got into the carriage. Closing the curtain of the car, the girl named Liu Qingqing hugged her arms and shrank in a corner.
"Don't be afraid, we just want to check the foundation of your husband's family, which is related to the safety of the country, and I hope the girl will focus on the overall situation!" Chu Jiayin saluted her, in fact, these words were like thunder in the sky for a helpless girl.
What does the safety of the country matter to her, she just wants to ask her fiancΓ©'s family to take care of her. If her husband's family falls, a woman like her, who has lived in the compound for a long time, may not even be able to support herself.
It is undoubtedly cruel to make her focus on the big picture.
"I know that the girl will rely on her husband's family for the rest of her life. But Lord Li's family is destined to be condemned by the imperial court, and you won't be able to live a good life for a few days if you go smoothly. We promise that when the matter is resolved, we will ensure that you will have a worry-free life in the future and find another lover. Chu Jiayin said this, and if the other party disagreed, he could only come hard.
Liu Qingqing was finally moved, and said timidly: "What did you say...... Is it all true? β
"Of course it's true." Chu Jiayin grabbed her hand, "I promise." β
It's a big deal, the Chu family raises it.
"That'...... Alright then, I'll swap with you. Liu Qingqing had just heard what Chu Jingyan said, and knew what Chu Jiayin had come into the carriage for.
"Good!" Chu Jiayin took off her clothes very happily, and then waited for the other party to change the clothes on her body to her.
Liu Qingqing hesitated, and only after half a quarter of an hour did she let Chu Jiayin take away her clothes. Changing into Liu Qingqing's clothes, Chu Jiayin finally looks a little bit like a lady, and she has been away from home for more than two years, and she is about to develop a wild temperament.
If she hadn't remembered her surname Chu and lived in the outer city of Kyoto, she probably would have thought that she would have been a wild girl who was picking up the ground everywhere. Of course, the conditions of Liu Qingqing's family cannot be better than those of the Chu family, and this dress is okay, but compared to the clothes that Chu Jiayin has put on his body in the past few days, it is much more pleasing to the eye.
Liu Qingqing stared at Chu Jiayin intently, and couldn't help but envy: "Girl, you look so good, if only I were half as beautiful as you." β
"Everybody has everybody's good and bad, you don't have to." Chu Jiayin said with a smile, with a bit of tenderness in her words, Liu Qingqing's clothes were already gentle, so it became even more eye-catching.
Chu Jiayin had just read Liu Qingqing's information, and it was written that this girl seemed to be a Jiangnan woman, and she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Ouch, I'll go, this can make Chu Jiayin sad.
Although she has learned everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what she learned in the past few years was a three-legged cat thing. After more than two years of desertion, I have already forgotten those things, and even when I pick up a pen and write, I am afraid that I will have a headache for a long time, and I don't know where the strokes come from.
Chu Jiayin is now literate, so he won't be an illiterate joke.
After changing clothes and hair accessories, Chu Jiayin sent the person out of the carriage.
Leng Lan felt novel when she saw her new appearance, and circled Chu Jiayin two or three times, and was amazed: "Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, although Miss Yinyin, you don't necessarily look ugly when you wear linen, but now that you wear this beautiful dress on your body, it can be regarded as making people understand why the thousand-year-old iceberg melted and planted in your hands." β
Who does the thousand-year-old iceberg refer to, Chu Jiayin knows very well in his heart, but he doesn't know if the second brother has noticed it. Chu Jiayin subconsciously looked at Chu Jingyan, the second brother was busy with his own business, as if he didn't bother to reply when he heard it, as if he didn't hear it at all, anyway, there was no performance worthy of joy.
It's really like a thousand-year-old iceberg, but I don't know if the iceberg itself deliberately didn't understand it, or if I really didn't hear it.
Liu Qingqing stood by and watched, the envy in her eyes did not go away, and she looked at Chu Jingyan twice, and the envy in her eyes seemed to be even worse for a while.
"Then let's go first, Chu Jingyan, when we help you get things done, you have to think about how to reward us." Before Leng Lan got into the carriage, he didn't forget to pit Chu Jingyan.
Chu Jingyan said helplessly: "This thing is not done for me, if you want to reward it, you have to ask General Murong, if he is willing to give it to you, you will naturally have it." β
Leng Lan snorted dissatisfied, and said, "Come on, just Murong Han's stingy ghost, what good things can he give us as a reward?" Forget it, even if I do it with my money, voluntarily. As for the sound girl...... Yinyin, what do you want? β
Chu Jiayin, who was suddenly mentioned, was stunned, almost didn't react, and said confusedly: "I don't have anything I want." β
There are some things that she can't get if she wants, and she didn't help this time to get anything, but simply wanted to do the second brother a favor, so that he didn't feel that he was just a person who would drag his feet. In the future, there will be an excuse to be by his side all the time.
"Nothing you want? Really? Leng Lan showed a look of disbelief.
Chu Jiayin thought about it perfunctorily and said, "That...... When I'm done, second brother, take the time to send me home. When the time comes, we will also go to see my grandmother together. β
Taking the second brother to see his grandmother doesn't seem to be a thing that makes the elders happy. But now that Chu Jingyan has some status, his grandmother shouldn't look at him as unpleasantly as she did at the beginning.
"Hmm." Chu Jingyan nodded and agreed.
