1.4. Let's give it a try
The two of them walked back in the carriage, and Wei Yunsi also moved to the side, leaning against the window, with his back to Chen Hexian, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chen Hexian stared at the back of Wei Yunsi's head from time to time, and the smile on the corner of his mouth did not subside.
Arriving in the middle of the two mansions, Wei Yunsi took the lead in getting out of the carriage with a cat's waist, and then Chen Hexian followed slowly.
Ju Ye supported Wei Yunsi, hasn't my own princess and this little lord not intersected for several months? Why is it entangled again?
"Princess, please." Chen Hexian was not afraid that Wei Yunsi would run away, and he would lead the way ahead after her.
Wei Yunsi took a deep breath, then pulled Ju Ye and followed.
The Viscount's Mansion is still the same, turning into Chen Hexian's courtyard, but he didn't enter the house, Chen Hexian thought it through, and set up a table in the courtyard to the small house, and everyone relaxed.
Tables and stools were set up in the courtyard, Wei Yunsi sat down and drank two glasses of water, and Ju Ye stood beside him, looking at Chen Hexian opposite vigilantly.
The little lord, who had always been gentle, suddenly moved, not to mention Wei Yunsi, she also felt incredible.
Could this little lord really bribed the officials, and now he wants to take the previous things and even threaten, intimidate, and bribe to curry favor with the princess, right?
Thinking like this, the possibility is quite big, there are more and more strange thoughts in Ju Ye's mind, his eyes are staring at Chen Hexian, Chen Hexian also feels it, when he looks up at her, Ju Ye is scared, Chen Hexian touched his face strangely: "Is there anything on my face?" Why is the girl looking at me like that? ”
Ju Ye was speechless, Wei Yun thought about the calf and glared at him: "You don't look at my chrysanthemum leaves, do you know that my chrysanthemum leaves are looking at you?" Narcissist. ”
Chen Hexian was dumbfounded by Wei Yunsi, Deler, anyway, it's good if he's wrong.
"The princess admires her face, I want to take the princess to a place." Chen He first propped up his arms and looked at Wei Yunsi with a smile, "Just the two of us." ”
Wei Yunsi was confused: "Lonely men and widows, it's not suitable." ”
"Don't worry, princess, I don't eat people." Chen He was still smiling first, and then he had already stood up, "Didn't the princess come to hear why I was able to win?" Whether you want to come with me or not, the princess can figure it out for herself. ”
Before dinner, he was going to go.
Wei Yunsi clenched her fists, she didn't know why, she really wanted to hear a more reliable and credible answer from Chen Hexian's mouth.
She... Hopefully, he's really changed, and not disappointed again and again, making people feel like he's a mud that can't hold up the wall.
Looking at Chen Hexian's back, Wei Yunsi only hesitated for a moment before standing up, she told Ju Ye to wait for her here, and then followed Chen Hexian's footsteps.
Ju Ye wanted to hold Wei Yunsi, but looking at the expression of her princess, she was afraid that she would be scolded if she followed, so after thinking about it, forget it, Chen Hexian didn't dare to bully the princess.
Wei Yunsi followed behind, the footsteps of the two sounded clearly in the corridor, the more they walked, the more they walked, Chen Hexian did not speak, the uneven footsteps hit Wei Yunsi's heart, she was a little flustered, and looked around to relieve it a little.
Where is he going?
After bypassing the three curves, Chen Hexian stopped in front of a shady and cold door.
Wei Yunsi blinked, this door was closed tightly, and he couldn't see any difference from the room next to him.
"What are you bringing me here for? I'm telling you, I'm not that easy to fool! Wei Yunsi frowned, and subconsciously felt that this should be a dirty place for Chen He to hide, maybe it would be gold, silver and jewelry when he entered, and he opened his mouth and said that he had many connections over the years, so it was not difficult to find a half-official position.
But Chen Hexian's face was solemn, and he didn't answer Wei Yunsi's words, but just raised his hand and gently pushed the door open.
With a squeak, the candlesticks neatly arranged on both sides met Wei Yunsi's eyes.
There was no gold and silver jewelry in it, on the contrary, the cold tone was all lonely, the white yarn blew with the wind brought in from outside the door, and there was a spirit card on the table in front of it.
This is the ancestral hall, and Wei Yunsi recognized it at a glance.
"You..." Wei Yunsi stretched out his hand and wanted to pull Chen Hexian's sleeve, who knew that he stepped in first, picked up three incense sticks, knelt on the futon and bowed three times, then got up and inserted incense, and knelt back again.
Wei Yunsi hesitated for a moment, then walked to Chen Hexian's side and also bent down to salute.
The tablet on the top belongs to Vice General Chen.
The atmosphere was very quiet, Chen Hexian stared at the top and said softly: "Dad, my son finally lived up to your entrustment and won it." ”
Wei Yunsi glanced at the side face of Chen Hexian who was kneeling beside him, and his solemn and serious appearance was reflected in her eyes.
Those light eyes that have been in the sky all day, at this time with ruthlessness and... Extrication.
After saying this, Chen Hexian blinked his eyes, restrained the look in his eyes, and said to Wei Yunsi: "My father's wish since childhood is to hope that I can wear court clothes and become a civil official, and I am not afraid of princess jokes when I say it, although my father is a military general, but I am not in good health, everything is no different from ordinary people, but I can't exercise or exercise for a long time, otherwise I will have heart discomfort, and because of this, I obeyed my father's wishes, so I was destined to become a scientific researcher since I was a child." ”
Wei Yunsi stood quietly, his gaze fell on Chen Hexian's face, and he couldn't take it back.
"My father went to the capital alone, from a small city guard to a deputy general, it was the second general of the Yu family who saw my father's ability, said a word, promoted my father, the Chen family has a foundation in the capital, I am my father's only son, my father always said, as a military general, it is inevitable that there will be a time when I go to the battlefield to sacrifice my life for the country, my health is not good, so I will be a civil official, so that the Chen family can also have a reputation as a scholar, if my child is willing to be a military general in the future, let him do it, because in the bones of the Chen family, and sheds blood that fears no sinister kind. Chen He clenched his fists first, mentioning his father, he was obviously a little emotional, "I remember my father's words, and because my father is here, I have read books for many years with peace of mind, if it weren't for my father's death, maybe I would have to work hard in the officialdom for a long time to see a little bit of the darkness of this world." ”
The easy and comfortable life in those years was all because of his father's solid arms, which blocked all the hardships for him.
He suddenly turned his face and stared at Wei Yunsi's face: "Has the princess seen those filthy faces and souls?" ”
"I..." Wei Yunsi's pupils trembled violently.
She didn't know what the darkness Chen Hexian was talking about.
Since birth, she has been the princess of the stars holding the moon, the queen mother is benevolent, the Fengyu Palace is peaceful, her brothers and sisters are harmonious, they all protect her and love her, she has no bad memories in the imperial city, she is happy all day long, and the only trouble is that the class of the university is really boring.
After leaving the palace, she has a noble status, and she has her brothers and sisters to support her, no matter what the youngest Princess Anshun does, she has a pampered brother and sister to break off the queen, behind her, there are countless people to support, she has always been fearless and delicate.
In this world, all she sees is kindness, everyone's kindness, no matter who it is, is smiling when she sees her, and responds to her requests.
So Wei Yunsi couldn't understand what Chen Hexian said, and it was also for a moment that she felt distressed for the pain in Chen Hexian's eyes.
Chen Hexian suddenly smiled, obviously smiling, but Wei Yunsi seemed to be able to hear him crying: "I have seen, I have seen a lot, in the eyes of the princess, the gentle elders grinning in horror, I have seen many gentlemen in front of the princess and the indifferent and vicious appearance, the power, money, connections, and status in the court in their hands are not the turn of a yellow-haired boy like me without family support to divide and shake, so they pressed me under the palm of their hands, in vain to exchange my father's life for the honor, Lost in my generation, so ... Soon the Chen family will be forgotten by everyone, a small, powerless Chen Viscount Mansion is just a joke, an after-dinner conversation, and a bubble that will be forgotten decades later. ”
"I resisted, at the beginning, the more fierce I resisted, the heavier their response became, so heavy that I couldn't bear it at all, so heavy that I couldn't even write my name on the book for the scientific examination, I was really decadent at that time, I asked my father here over and over again, what should I do." Chen Hexian laughed bitterly, that time seemed to be very light in the future, but he could still remember the feeling of surviving the most uncomfortable time.
He had to break and crumple all the bones that he had relied on for so many years to reshape the soul of this body.
"So, do you have an answer?" Wei Yunsi didn't notice that her voice had trembled a little, she could feel that Chen Hexian in front of people, Chen Hexian she saw with her eyes, was not the current Chen Hexian.
The one in front of him is the real Chen Hexian.
"My father couldn't respond to me anymore, so I had to do my own thing." Chen He first took Wei Yunsi's words and continued, "As the princess saw, I became a merry little lord in the capital, I don't learn and can't learn, I am a rotten wood, I am a waste who bows to those evil people, I numb their eyes, paralyze their hearts, and wander in various romantic occasions, only to finally come into contact with the four princes, His Royal Highness King Yu, many years of forbearance, until now, I finally saw my name on the list of the imperial examination, this is all, what to tell the princess, does the princess believe it?" ”
Wei Yunsi was silent, not knowing how to pick up Chen Hexian's words, she... Do you believe it?
Chen Hexian didn't hear Wei Yunsi's answer, he stood up, stretched out his hand and carefully pulled Wei Yunsi's sleeve, and said tentatively like a flattering child: "Can the princess come to see me again?" ”
Wei Yunsi paused, and then unconsciously followed Chen Hexian's footsteps, this person... Hiding a lot of secrets that she couldn't even think of before, under his face, under that frivolous smile, there were so many past things hidden?
Chen Hexian led Wei Yunsi around to the back of the ancestral hall table, the tall shelves were full of dazzling ornaments, Chen Hexian moved a picture scroll on it, and with a sound, the shelf in front of him slowly moved away.
Darkroom?!
Wei Yunsi knew that there were a lot of dark rooms in the palace, but he didn't expect Chen Hexian to have them, what kind of person was he forced to be, and he had to be so cautious in his own home?
"Don't be afraid, princess, slow down, it's a little dark." He picked up the candlestick on the side, lit it with a fire fold, stretched out his arm, and unexpectedly gentlemanly let Wei Yunsi support his elbow, and he would not exceed the rules.
Walking inside, crossing the original alleyway, Chen Hexian lit the candlestick at the end, and the firelight came into view, which was full of all kinds of books, and these things that did not match his identity that could not appear in Chen Hexian's every room were all here.
Chen He first lit all the candles, pointed to another corridor opposite this small space, and said: "Over there, it's my room, there are really not many times when I study, I have been hiding here for a long time, and I barely got it, speaking of which, I have to thank the princess, if it weren't for the princess who smashed her head so that I could recuperate, I have worked hard in the past few months, and I am afraid that I will fall off the list." ”
Wei Yunsi blushed: "What does it have to do with me." ”
Chen He smiled first: "Yes, the princess is now... Can you trust me? ”
He seemed to care very much about listening to the answer to what he said in person, Wei Yunsi glanced at him, his wet eyes were like stars in the candlelight, Wei Yunsi turned around, his heart was beating hard, and he was about to go out: "Believe in you, believe in you, get out, lonely man and widow, what is it like!" ”
Chen Hexian hurriedly responded, kept up with Wei Yunsi's pace, extinguished the candlestick, and helped her to walk out.
Coming out of the ancestral hall, Wei Yunsi saw him carefully close the door, and said softly, "Who are those people?" My father didn't have the energy to care about them in his later years, so why did they bully his big brother when he was young? You dare to do such a thing with one hand covering the sky, you just write my name to me, and I will present it to the big brother for you, so that they know how powerful! ”
Wei Yunsi's unintentional words made Chen Hexian's expression of surprise flash.
He smiled happily, but soon returned to his normal expression: "Thank you princess for your kindness, but this matter is not so simple and easy, now that I have won it, I have a grudge with them, and I will naturally rely on my own strength to compete in the officialdom, the princess just has to be happy every day, what is the matter between men, how can there be a reason for the girl's family to interfere, as long as the princess believes me." ”
"You..." Wei Yunsi frowned, "You don't know what to do, I also help you to eradicate the tumor of the imperial brother, and the capital is not a place where there is no king's law." ”
"There is no evidence." Chen He glanced at her first, "I didn't catch their tails, even if it was the emperor, it was not easy for me or the princess to investigate anything thoroughly, let alone eradicate anyone, maybe act rashly, but instead hit the grass and was bitten back, now I have some friendship with His Royal Highness the King of Xu, His Royal Highness the King of the King is a very upright person, my affairs, His Royal Highness the King of the King will also pay attention to help, I can enter the office, panic people are them, and when I catch the tail of the fox, it is the time for the Emperor Chen, the princess is worried about my mind, I know it all. ”
Wei Yunsi was goosebumps at his last sentence, seeing that he analyzed the head of the way, and looked confident, he felt a little relieved, and heard him mention the second brother, and was also relieved, the second brother is indeed a reliable person, and has been solving problems for the eldest brother, with the second brother intervening, it is only a matter of time before the matter is resolved, but who can tell her that this shameless person has not been serious for a long time, why did he start saying such things again!
Wei Yunsi clenched his fists and slapped him on the back: "Who cares about you!" Who worries about you! Don't forget to put gold on your face! ”
Chen He first suffered pain, and then smiled, and his walking steps were much easier.
When he returned to the table, the food had already begun to be served one after another, Wei Yunsi hurriedly sat down, glanced at Chen Hexian, he didn't call for wine, he served Wei Yunsi a bowl of soup first, and told her that this is to nourish the stomach, drink more.
Kikuba also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this bastard little lord is still measured.
Wei Yunsi didn't eat much at this meal, mainly because Chen Hexian always stared at her and smirked, which made Wei Yunsi very flustered.
After eating five points full, she wiped her mouth and got up and said that she was going back, and then regardless of Chen Hexian's face, she dragged the chrysanthemum leaves and walked out.
Maybe he walked too fast, Chen Hexian didn't catch up, Ju Ye followed Wei Yunsi all the way back to his courtyard: "Princess, what's wrong?" If you eat so much, you will definitely be hungry at night, and the slave maid will go to the little kitchen now and give orders, lest the princess will be hungry at night and have to wait. ”
Wei Yunsi responded perfunctorily, and when he saw that Ju Ye was far away, he unconsciously moved to the big tree next to the wall, stretched out his hand and touched it, a little more relieved: "He... It doesn't seem to be as bad as I thought. ”
A murmur, very soft, dissipated into the wind.
Before the slightest ripple in Wei Yunsi's heart calmed down, a familiar voice came from above his head: "Princess, isn't the food appetizing?" Why don't I ask for another time? ”
Wei Yunsi looked up, and sure enough, it was Chen Hexian's shameless one, who was lying on the wall, looking at himself excitedly.
Wei Yunsi twitched the corners of her mouth, and the last trace of sorrow dissipated, she may be crazy, just now she felt that Chen Hexian looked quite good, she was crazy.
She rolled her eyes, turned around and left: "No need, you can keep it for yourself." ”
"Then the princess will invite me to eat, the courtesy is still exchanged, everyone is a neighbor." Chen Hexian's voice floated in the sky, Wei Yunsi clenched his fists, his head was bruised, and when he turned his head, he saw Chen Hexian climbing up the tree again.
Is this man a monkey?!
"You!" Wei Yunsi turned around and said loudly, "You won't walk the door!" ”
Chen Hexian stopped the movement in his hand, and then suddenly realized: "The princess is inviting me to go to the mansion, right?" Good good here it is. ”
With that, Lisso retracted his legs, and disappeared from the wall in a puff of smoke.
Wei Yunsi raised her hand and patted her face, she owes her mouth...
Chen He swaggered in from the door first, walked to Wei Yunsi, and then followed Wei Yunsi to sit under the corridor.
Wei Yunsi looked loveless, thinking about when this dog skin plaster would be able to get rid of, but Chen Hexian stared at the flowers and plants in her yard and shouted: "Princess, this flower is withered, right?" There are no leaves left. ”
"Princess, this grass is bald, isn't it? Is the princess sitting here kicking a bow? ”
Wei Yunsi held back his anger and responded, "What does it have to do with you?!" ”
Chen Hexian smiled: "It seems to be the same." ”
Then there was silence, the two of them sat like this, although Wei Yunsi didn't know what Chen He thought first, she felt too weird, and she felt uncomfortable.
Chen Hexian was silent for a while, then suddenly turned his head again and looked at Wei Yunsi: "Didn't the princess understand why I always wanted to provoke the princess to be angry?" ”
Wei Yunsi squinted his eyes and glared at him: "You also know that you provoked me!" ”
"Well, on the first day the princess entered the palace, I saw the princess." Chen Hexian smiled happily, "Then I asked about the princess's habits, and I did it on purpose." ”
Deliberately.
When Wei Yunsi heard these three words, the fire didn't hit anywhere, and he wanted to bury Chen He in the soil at this time!
"I want the princess to see me, this is the quickest way." Chen He first said to himself, "It rained heavily that night, and I was afraid that the princess would wait in the rain, so I came to take a look." ”
Wei Yunsi stumbled suddenly: "Who... Who is waiting for you! I... I'm a thief! ”
Chen Hexian didn't argue with her: "The princess said before that she hated me because I didn't learn anything, and I was romantic, and I disturbed the princess's tranquility, but now I have been lifted, I don't wander around, and I haven't disturbed the princess's tranquility anymore, the princess will not hate me in the future?" ”
What do you mean?
His eyes were shining, he looked a little nervous, and he seemed to be expecting his answer?
Could he be ... Like yourself, right?
Wei Yunsi is the most sensitive to these, she has seen a lot of such eyes, the eyes of the father and the queen mother looking at each other, and the eyes of the third sister looking at Yun Mufan, they are all like this.
I want to get closer with anticipation, but I'm afraid to get too close and scare the other party.
Chen Hexian is now, this is the look.
Wei Yunsi shuddered: "You... You're normal, and I don't hate you for no reason. ”
"There is another sentence, I have wanted to ask the princess for a long time." Chen Hexian was obviously very dissatisfied with her answer, but he didn't ask any more, just lowered his eyes and rubbed his palms, looking a little more nervous than just now.
Wei Yunsi felt that the current atmosphere was very wrong.
It's like she's a negative son, he's a shy lady, and this thought can't go away as soon as it pops up, Wei Yunsi is afraid that Chen Hexian will look up and have tears in his eyes.
Fortunately, this scene did not appear, Chen Hexian raised his eyebrows slightly to look at her, and when he saw that she didn't speak, he thought that he had acquiesced, and said softly: "Can we start to understand each other again?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"That's it..." Although Chen Hexian lingered in Fengyue, he was in love at the moment when he saw Wei Yunsi, and it was the first time he showed his heart, so the nervousness was real, and the shyness was also real, but he didn't show it too much, "I like the princess very much, I don't want to be hated by the princess, can the princess understand me again?" Can we try it? ”
The breeze blew, blowing Wei Yunsi's long hair.
She opened her mouth slightly, and was at a loss by Chen Hexian's sudden confession.
Ju Ye came from behind, saw Wei Yunsi and the little lord sitting together, and subconsciously shouted: "Princess? ”
Wei Yunsi came back to her senses and stood up suddenly, she tugged at the corner of her skirt helplessly, glanced at Chen Hexian, raised her head, and said softly: "Then you... Behave well. ”
After that, he walked quickly towards the chrysanthemum leaf, his neck was red, and he commanded calmly: "Send the little lord back." ”
Ju Ye watched Wei Yunsi pass over and go around the corner, although he didn't know what was going on, he still went over to Chen Hexian, who was smirking, and saluted: "Little lord, the princess asked the slave to send you back, please come here." ”
Chen He stood up first and grinned at Ju Ye: "Miss Ju Ye, I will take care of Miss Lao more in the future." ”
Juye looked confused, but he strode forward.
Chen Hexian didn't like the capital.
But he likes Wei Yunsi in the capital.
This imperial city seems to have become pleasing to the eye.
