Chapter 3: Curiosity
Linjiang Pavilion is one of the few restaurants built by the river in Linjiang City, the river breeze passes through the hall, blowing people very cool.
At this time, on the third floor of Linjiang City, idlers came and went, sitting together in twos and threes drinking and chatting.
Jiang Yingyue stood on the railing and looked into the distance, turned to Chu Liang and said: "This Linjiang Pavilion is really a good place, the river breeze blows people so comfortably, what is the matter with you coming to me early in the morning?" ”
Chu Liang smiled, she didn't sleep well last night, and her face was a little pale: "It's nothing, you know, my father rarely mentions foreign affairs to me, and he has been running around outside all these years, and he has very little to do with Chen Yanzhi's Chen family and my uncle's family." ”
The river breeze blew, blowing the river reflecting the moon and the clothes of Chu Fence fluttering.
Jiang Yingyue thought for a moment and said: "Chen Yanzhi was in the top three in high school last year, and was sent to Hanoi by His Majesty to experience a year, and he was just transferred back this year, I can't remember exactly where he practiced, it is said that His Majesty is very satisfied with him, everyone is rumoring that he may be a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and many princes and nobles want to marry his daughter, and the Chen family has not said to the public that Chen Yanzhi has a marriage contract." ”
Chu Liang was silent after hearing this, and Jiang Yingyue continued: "As for your uncle, he is now a master of Zhongshu and is deeply trusted by the emperor, and he is no longer the poor scholar he used to be. ”
Chu Liang sighed: "Things move and stars change, who can say for sure what will happen in the future." By the way, I heard that there is a princess of Ruyang in our Liang Dynasty, and legend has it that she looks like a fairy, have you ever seen her? ”
Jiang Yingyue said with a smile: "I've only seen her from afar at a banquet, and I can't really see her. The entire Linjiang City praised her for her country. ”
Chu Liang echoed casually, she leaned over and looked at the lake of Linjiang Your Excellency, the reeds in the distance were thick, sparkling, and the water and sky were the same color.
Chen Guan's father had something to go out, he was idle and bored at home, and asked Xie Shaoqing to come to Jiangcheng to drink. As soon as Chen Guan saw Jiang Yingyue, he said with a smile: "Hello Mrs. Jiang, who is this girl next to you?" ”
Jiang Yingyue was a little annoyed with him, and said unexpectedly: "Hello son, this is my friend Chu Li." He introduced Chu Liang one by one: "This is Chen Guan Chen Gongzi, this is Xie Shaoqing... Thank... Xie Gongzi. ”
Chu Liang greeted them one by one.
Xie Shaoqing has been on the river since he saw Chu Li, but his eyes have been on Chu Li. Xie Shaoqing asked Chu Li, "Did Miss Chu just come to Jiangcheng?" ”
Chu Liang said: "Yes. ”
Chen Guan smiled: "Don't stand still, let's sit down and drink tea." ”
The four of them chose a table against the railing and sat down, and Chen Guan asked, "Where was Miss Chu's hometown before she moved to Linjiang City?" ”
Chu Liang was a little annoyed that he asked about these private things as soon as they met, but it was difficult to show it on his face, so he had to say: "I have been living in Changshan before. ”
Chen Guan continued to ask: "I heard my father say that Changshan people are outstanding people, but unfortunately they have never had the opportunity to go. ”
Chu Liang said: "I stayed in Changshan for more than ten years, and then because my father ran around in business, I haven't been back for many years. ”
Xie Shaoqing suddenly asked on the side: "Is there a place in Changshan that produces bamboo?" ”
Chu Liang nodded and said, "That place is called Zhuzitan, and my father brings bamboo shoots back from that place every year. ”
Xie Shaoqing said: "I have always wanted to walk outside Linjiang City, but I don't have the opportunity. ”
Chu Liang said: "After a long journey, I don't think the scenery along the way is so beautiful. ”
Jiang Yingyue asked, "Did you just come to Jiangcheng this time to stay for a while?" ”
Chu Liang shook his head and said, "I have to wait for my father to come back to make a decision, I don't know yet." ”
Chen Guan glanced at Xie Shaoqing and asked, "What kind of business does Ling Zun do?" ”
Chu Liang shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "My son and I just met. ”
After hearing this, Chen Guan said curtly: "It's me who is abrupt, don't be surprised, girl, don't be angry with Chen." ”
The river breeze blows up, and the bell of Your Excellency Lou rings non-stop. Jiang Yingyue took her eyes back and said, "Look at the dark clouds in the sky, I'm afraid it's going to rain, let's go back." ”
Hearing this, Chu Liang stood up and said, "Then I'll go back with my sister, I fell asleep all night last night, and I just went back to sleep for a while." ”
Jiang Yingyue looked at her haggard face and said: "Is it cold, I also think that Jiang Feng is a little cold, don't think about inconsequential things, it's useless to think too much, you see sister, I am so wide-hearted and fat because I think about it." ”
Chu Liang couldn't help laughing.
Chen Guan and Xie Shaoqing walked behind. Chen Guan whispered to Xie Shaoqing, "Can you hear what they say?" ”
Xie Shaoqing slapped Chen Guan's elbow: "Don't be so curious. ”
Jiang Yingyue and Chu Liang separated at the fork in the road, Chu Liang saw that Shaoqing was walking in the same direction as her, and couldn't help asking, "Is the son's family also in this direction?" ”
Xie Shaoqing said: "Yes, I didn't expect to stop by with the girl." ”
Chu Liang asked, "What about Gongzi Chen?" ”
Xie Shaoqing replied: "Chen Gongzi's house is in front. ”
Chu Liang replied and said, "My family is in front, so we will be separated here, and the son will see you in the future." ”
Xie Shaoqing said: "Miss Chu will see you in the future." ”
Chu Liang knocked on the door, but no one answered. Chu Li smiled bitterly, took out the key and opened the door.
Xie Shaoqing hadn't entered the door yet, and Qiu Feng came in. asked: "Where has Childe gone in the past half a day, Princess Ruyang has come to find Childe several times." ”
Xie Shaoqing disagreed: "Did you say anything?" ”
Qiu Feng said: "I heard Zhang Yi say that he invited the son to reminisce, and the princess also gave the son a few pots of begonia flowers. ”
Xie Shaoqing said: "Take a pot and put it in my room, and leave the rest to Zhang Yi for arrangement, I will go in first, don't come and disturb me if there is nothing else." ”
When Chen Guan went home, Luo Dacai, a little scholar beside him, ran over to him and said, "The master has something to come back temporarily." Chen Guan was taken aback, walked to the study in three steps and two steps, sat down at the desk, picked up a book of Analects and read it.
Chen watched for a while, his mind was not retracted, thinking of the matter of Linjiang Pavilion, he thought in his heart: "I have known Jiang Niangzi for more than half a year, and I haven't heard anyone say that she has any friends. That Chu Liang didn't look like the daughter of a businessman at all when he talked and behaved. Xie Shaoqing was also a little wrong, he used to go to the land of wind and moon with him to drink, he didn't squint, sat upright, and rarely spoke. This time it was a bit unusual. ”
While he was in a daze, his father stood outside the door and saw his appearance, snorted, and walked away.
Luo Dacai waited for the master to go away, then quietly came in, pushed Chen Guan's shoulder and said, "Son, are you fascinated by reading, the master came just now." ”
Chen Guan came back to his senses and knocked Luo Dacai on the head with the book: "The master is here, you won't tell me earlier." ”
Luo Dacai bent down and touched his head: "When I came, the master was standing outside the door, how dare I come in." ”
Chen Guan waved his hand and said: "Forget it, the master is here, and he will help me investigate the details of a person, called Chu Li, who is a friend of Mrs. Jiang." ”
Luo Dacai said in surprise: "Son, you are still thinking about Mrs. Jiang, let the master know that you are going to punish Son-in-law again." ”
Chen Guan patted Luo Dacai's shoulder impatiently and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let you inquire about yourself why you have so many things, I want to know the result at this time tomorrow." ”
Luo Dacai agreed, and said with a wry smile: "Childe has a whim again." ”
