In an inconspicuous house at the end of the main street of Linjiang City, Chu Liang was busy cleaning up for a long time, looking at the clean house and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the mountain smoke was bending over by the well to wash his hands.

Chu Liang said to Shanyan: "I'll go out later, and I'll be back soon." ”

Shanyan handed Chu Li an umbrella and said, "Girl, go early and come back early, it's a gloomy day, the girl will take an umbrella and go out again." ”

The bluestone paved street had just rained yesterday, and it was inevitable that it would be full of potholes, and Chu Liang had to carry his skirt so as not to splash with water.

Chu Liang looked at the plaque in front of the door again, which said "Drunken Moon Building", hesitated again and again, and still went in.

A woman dressed in gold and silver, with a smile on her face, asked, "Is the girl here to drink tea and listen to music?" ”

Chu Liang shook his head and said, "My name is Chu Liang, come to find someone named Jiang Yingyue?" ”

I saw that the woman called a maid, said a few words, and then said to Chu Li: "Miss Chu, wait a minute." ”

Before he could make a cup of tea, a maid came down from upstairs and led Chu Liang inside. The maid smiled and said, "Our girl has a day off today, and I am overjoyed to hear that the girl is coming." ”

Chu Liang asked, "Are you girls usually busy?" ”

The maid said: "Look at the people, look at the season." Our girl was quite busy some time ago. ”

Chu Liang followed the maid and chatted as she walked, walked through several verandahs, and finally met Jiang Yingyue in a house with a wisteria flower in front of the door. Chu Liang couldn't help but look back, this Drunken Moon Tower was quite big.

Jiang Yingyue was lying on the couch, saw Chu Liang coming, stood up, and said with a smile: "It's rare that my sister is free to come to see me today, my sister has moved to Linjiang City for a few days." ”

Jiang Yingyue took Chu Li's hand and sat down, instructed the maid to pour tea and serve snacks to Chu Li, and asked again: "Uncle is doing well lately." ”

The weather in Mengchun was changeable, and it was raining outside in the blink of an eye.

Chu Li looked at the dripping rain outside the window and said, "If it hadn't rained these days, my father would have come back too." ”

Jiang Yingyue plucked the tassels on her body and said, "Uncle just moved to Linjiang City a few days ago, and he went out again. Uncle still can't be idle. ”

Chu Liang sighed: "My father has been tired for most of his life, and many relatives persuade my father to take care of his old age, but my father doesn't listen to the persuasion, and I can't help it." ”

Jiang Yingyue sighed: "Uncle is used to working hard. By the way, I heard my sister from Zuiyue Building mention it a few days ago, Chen Yanzhi is also in Linjiang City now, have you seen him? ”

Chu Liang was surprised in his heart: "Wasn't Chen Yanzhi transferred outside to be an official?" But on the surface, he still pretended to be calm and coughed.

Jiang Yingyue saw it, Ying Ying smiled and said: "It seems that you have been hidden in the drum, you have a marriage contract with him for a long time, and now that you are at the age of marriage, no one in his family has come to the door to propose marriage." ”

Chu Liang played with the cup: "Marriage is a major event, and the parents are in charge." ”

Jiang Yingyue sighed: "I'm afraid that the Chen family has long been dissatisfied, the Chen family has been on the rise in the past two years, and some people have long wanted to be a matchmaker, the Chen family has not announced your marriage with Chen Yanzhi, it seems that you want to withdraw from the marriage." ”

Chu Liang said: "If the Chen family doesn't support this marriage, I will marry in the past, and it will not be easy in the future, but I don't know what Chen Yanzhi thinks?" ”

Jiang Li smiled: "Counting it, you and Chen Yanzhi haven't seen each other for many years, if Chen Yanzhi is willing to marry you, will you marry her?" ”

Chu Liang shook his head and said: "I don't know this, I don't know what he thinks, has his temperament changed over the years." If he were the same as when he was a child, I would do it. ”

Jiang Yingyue poked Chu Yan's forehead and said, "You, you are just thinking about Chen Yanzhi's kindness." My sister advises you that the world is impermanent, if the Chen family doesn't like you, you will suffer in the future. ”

Chu Liang said: "No one can say for sure in the future, sister, you have been in the Fantasy Music Workshop for several years, and you have no favorite." ”

Jiang Yingyue was sad: "It's not that you don't know, there are many people who want to have a spring snack with me in our business, but they don't want to grow old with me." ”

Chu Liang patted her on the shoulder, and Jiang Yingyue whispered, "If it weren't for the destruction of my family......

Chu Liang interrupted her softly and said, "Don't mention these sad things. After speaking, he took out a purse from his pocket: "This is bitter leaf tea, it is said that drinking it can refresh you." ”

Jiang Yingyue took it, sniffed it carefully and said, "There is still a fragrance here." ”

Chu Liang said: "My father likes this, he was given by someone else when he passed through Lingnan, and the locals made it into a sachet, which is said to be able to prevent mosquitoes." ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Jiang Yingyue said, "Come in." ”

The maid Chunhua said: "Chen Gongzi is waiting outside the door to see the girl. ”

Jiang Yingyue said to Chunhua: "You go back and tell him first, and let him wait for me for a while." ”

After the maid left, Jiang Yingyue couldn't help complaining: "Finally, it's my turn to rest, and there is such a distinguished guest again." ”

Chu Liang smiled, she had just been here for a few days, and most of the time she stayed in the new house to tidy up the housework, but she also heard the name of Chen Gongzi, although this Chen Gongzi was born in a family, he was not informal, and he was good at drinking and listening to dramas.

Chu Liang quipped: "I heard that my sister was popular before, and sure enough. ”

Jiang Yingyue sighed, didn't squeak, and said after a while: "Actually, you shouldn't come here, it's confusing here, and it's easy to gossip." ”

Chu Liang said: "It's not in the way." ”

Jiang Yingyue glanced outside and whispered to Chu Li, "I'll go out first, my sister will go out later." ”

Jiang Yingyue adjusted her dress slightly, looked in the mirror, and smiled bitterly in the mirror: "Sister, you don't know, those who do our business like to talk about these false etiquette, laughing and laughing all day, and their faces are stiff." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw another maid urging her, and Jiang Yingyue hurriedly went.

Chen looked at Jiang Yingyue and said with a smile: "Mrs. Jiang is good." ”

Jiang Yingyue said lukewarmly: "Hello son, who is this next to you?" ”

Chen Guan stretched out his hand and introduced: "This is my friend Xie Shaoqing, just call him Shaoqing." ”

Jiang Yingyue said: "Hello Gongzi Xie. Jiang Yingyue chatted with them and listened to Chen Guan's gossip most of the time.

Xie Shaoqing didn't talk as much as Chen Guan, and after saying hello to Jiang Yingyue, he sat quietly drinking tea and listening to music, and Chen Guan introduced him to the lady of Zuiyue Building one by one.

Chu Liang chose a secluded place and looked around unintentionally, there were not many people at this time, only sitting around. Chu Liang inadvertently saw Xie Shaoqing, and thought to himself: "It's a young man with eyebrows and sword eyes." Chen Guan on the other side was also looking at Chu Li, and Chu Liang was a little embarrassed when he noticed it. She withdrew her gaze and thought to herself, "It's a bit rude to stare at people like this just now." Thinking of Chen Yanzhi again, he wondered in his heart: "He won't say a word to me when he comes." ”

Chu Liang sat for a while and left.

Chen Guan pushed Ren Shaoqing and said, "Everyone has gone away, what else are you looking at." ”

Xie Shaoqing didn't admit it, and retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, I just saw my uncle walking on the street just now." ”

Chen Guan stood up and said in surprise: "My father passed by, why didn't you say it earlier." ”

"I thought you saw it." Xie Shaoqing said.

Chen Guan looked at Xie Shaoqing with a look of resentment, and then laughed again. Xie Shaoqing asked, "What are you laughing at, don't you hurry back." ”

Chen Guan smiled: "You don't know this, now it's easy to get exposed when I go back, it seems that someone has reminded me, and when my father asks me where I'm going, I will say that I will ask Brother Xie for advice." ”

Xie Shaoqing glanced at him disdainfully, with a look of disgust.

Not long after Chu Liang left, Jiang Yingyue had something to leave. So Chen Guan asked, "What do you think of this Jiang lady?" ”

"The defensiveness is a little heavy, the people are a little cold, and they look like they are smiling, but in fact they are a little repulsive and thousands of miles away."

"You said yes, I've known her for almost half a year before I said something. By the way, just now, the girl sitting across from us didn't look like a singer, and she looked very raw, do you know? ”

Xie Shaoqing didn't know what he was thinking, and said vaguely: "I don't know, do you want to know a girl when you see it?" ”

Chen Guan didn't answer, the rain outside gradually stopped, and several young attendants came to find him outside the Fantasy Music Workshop. Chen Guan frowned, waved his hand to Xie Shaoqing and said, "Brother Xie will see you later." ”

Not long after Chen Guan left, Xie Shaoqing's servant Zhang Yi came to look for him, and Xie Shaoqing saw that it was not early, so he went back to the house with Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi followed Xie Shaoqing one after the other, Xie Shaoqing wore a white robe, he never liked jade, and rarely wore jade pendants on his body. Chen Guan, on the contrary, likes to collect all kinds of strange jade, and the two often attract the attention of passers-by when they walk together on the street.

After Xie Shaoqing returned home, the maid came up to change his clothes, Xie Shaoqing said, "Didn't I say that I would come by myself?" You go down and prepare the meal first, no drinks, and a pot of tea to awaken your mind. He sat on the bamboo collapse and asked Zhang Yi thoughtfully, "Have you seen the girl sitting opposite us in Zuiyue Tower?" ”

Zhang Yihan said with a smile: "There are so many girls in there, I patronized to see Mrs. Jiang." ”

Xie Shaoqing quipped: "Mrs. Jiang hasn't looked at you more. ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "Mrs. Jiang has always been like this. Chu Xiangguo sent an invitation to his son, his young lady was about to celebrate her birthday in half a decade, and the third prince was waiting for her son in the house, and it was said that there was something to discuss. ”

Xie Shaoqing shook his fan and said with a smile: "What is the matter with him looking for me, most of it is for his wife, what excuse should I use not to go on Miss Chu's birthday?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly: "Childe, don't, don't, don't, you're pretending to be sick, and the entire Linjiang City knows that you are weak and sick." ”

Xie Shaoqing knocked Zhang Yi's head with a fan and said, "I've only pretended to be sick a few times, so you remember it so clearly?" How can it be so exaggerated as you say, and the entire Linjiang City knows that I am weak and sickly. ”

Zhang Yi didn't dare to reply, so he just stood aside.

Xie Shaoqing said: "You can prepare a gift, don't be too expensive, just look at it." ”
