Two years later, Nanshan Village.

Nanshan Village is a small village located in the north of Beiyanji, but it is close to the mountains and water, surrounded by mountains to form a joint encirclement, so that this village is directly isolated from the outside, and there is only one mountain road in and out, and you have to take a carriage to go out, even if you take a carriage, you have to walk for a whole day.

Therefore, the people in this village are very united and close, and their lives are basically self-sufficient, but in the past two years, a lot of changes have taken place in the village, one of which is that there is a female gentleman in the village, who teaches both literacy and martial arts, which is very popular with the people in the village.

"Sir, sir, I have a letter from you."

A teenage tanned, thin, but healthy boy ran into the small courtyard near the mountain with a smoke outside, walked around the hall with the door open, and found that there was no one, so he ran down the stream with two vegetable fields next to the courtyard, and really saw Mr. Chen washing vegetables by the stream with his sleeves up.

"Sir!"

When the boy saw the white, tender and crisp radish in her hand, he ran down with a grin.

Chen Yansleeve turned around, only to see him, and laughed: "Erniu, it's almost noon, and your mother hasn't called you back to eat?" ”

"I'll go in a moment, my father asked me to send you a letter." Erniu said, handing her a clean letter.

Chen Yansleeve saw the letter and said with a smile: "It was sent by the rich man Liu in the town?" ”

"I don't know, but my father said that my eldest brother is now in the yamen of the town, and that kung fu is amazing, although I have only studied with you for more than a year, but other officials are not as good as my eldest brother." Erniu grinned.

Chen Yansleeve saw his greedy look, took out the white radish that had just been washed from the cool stream, directly broke half of him, took half of it himself, and said with a smile: "That's good." ”

"That's why my father said...... "Erniu took a bite of this radish, crisp and sweet, full of juice, chewed, and then smiled and said while walking back with this Chen Yansleeve: "If Mr. goes to the town to open a martial arts hall, he will definitely earn a lot of silver." ”

"Isn't it good for me to stay in the village?" Chen Yansleeve carried the vegetable basket, gnawing on the crisp and sweet radish like Erniu, and saw that the scorching sun was in full bloom in July, but he didn't feel hot when he walked in the shade of the tree.

"Of course, my father and mother like Mr., and the people in the village also like him, so I wish Mr. was here for the rest of his life." Erniu chirped and said, "But my mother said that my husband will marry sooner or later, and he will always leave." ”

Chen Yan's sleeve eyes darkened slightly, did not continue the topic, and when he arrived in the hall, he put down the letter and went to the kitchen, and the lady at the front door sent a new fish, she just stewed a fragrant fish pond, and then with the fruit that was just picked, and when she first came to the village, the people in the village gave a cool couch to take a nap in the shade of the trees in the backyard.

Chen Yansleeve was full of ease in chopping vegetables and putting them in the pot, and his actions were already familiar.

Erniu made up his mind not to go back to eat, so he followed Chen Yansleeve and busily went around, and after a while, a large pot of fish soup was stewed, sprinkled with some chopped wild vegetables, and the aroma was overflowing.

Erniu's saliva was about to flow out: "Sir, your skills are also very good." ”

"Go back and let Chunhua come to learn, and you will be able to eat it from time to time in the future." Chen Yan smiled.

Erniu's black face turned red, and he scratched the back of his head shyly before saying, "Mr. laughed at me." ”

Chunhua is the childhood sweetheart of Erniu, the two have a good relationship since childhood, and the two families also help each other when the farm is busy, and they make an appointment to catch loaches together in their spare time, or go to the mountains to pick wild fruits.

As soon as I said spring tweed, a little girl wearing a washed half-worn green coarse cloth dress came outside, the little girl combed two round hair bags, tied with a red head rope, her face was round, her eyes were extraordinarily big, and she smiled with a pear vortex, which was very sweet.

"Sir, my mother asked me to send you this." Chunhua ran in with a big bowl, saw that Erniu was also there, and laughed at him: "Erniu, you are hungry for Mr. Niu's craftsmanship again, your mother is still looking for you, and your mother will beat you when you go back." ”

"I'm not afraid." The man of Erniu was dignified, snorted lightly, and took the rice in the bowl with chopsticks.

Chunhua walked over with a smile and put down the bowl she was holding, which was a bowl full of muscles, and there were a few home-dried red dates in it, the color was translucent, and you could imagine that the dates must be stewed soft and sweet.

"Eat yourselves, I've got it here." Chen Yansleeve looked at Chunhua with a smile, but his heart was warm, after coming here for two years, the neighbors in the village treated her as a relative, who has delicious food and fun, it is necessary to bring some to her, Chunhua and Erniu's father and mother are even more caring for her.

Chunhua smiled sweetly: "My mother said, I have made a lot of things today, and there are guests at home, and I can't finish eating these ironclad things." My husband taught us martial arts and literacy on weekdays, and often had to go hunting in the mountains with my fathers, but it was very hard. ”

After speaking, Chunhua caught a glimpse of the unopened letter on the side, and said with a smile: "Sir, who sent you the letter?" ”

"It must be the idea of the rich man Liu in the town to beat our husband again." Erniu Road.

Chunhua didn't believe it: "Then the rich man Liu is so picky, every time he writes a letter, he uses the worst paper, and now it's good to look at the letterhead." ”

Chunhua didn't say anything, Chen Yansleeve didn't find it, she was just about to open it, Chunhua said: "Mr. Let's eat first, and then look at it after eating." ”

Chen Yansleeve was not so curious, nodded with a smile, and waited for Chunhua to run away, before he said to Erniu, who was quietly looking out: "Hurry up and eat, go and play with her after eating, remember to come to class in the afternoon." ”

"Yes!"

Erniu smiled and devoured it.

After lunch, after cleaning up the small home, Chen Yansleeve took the letter to the backyard.

It's said to be a backyard, but it's actually just a small open space on the side of the mountain at the back of the house, but because there are two decades-old camphor trees, it leaves a shade and is surrounded by mountains, so I don't worry that anyone will see it.

She sat down on the bamboo and rattan chair made by Erniu's father under the tree, and began to tear open the envelope, intending to see who had sent the letter, but when she opened it, the familiar scent of ink came from inside, making her hands tremble slightly.

This Nanhu ink is my father's favorite.

The letter was shaken open, and Chen Yansleeve slowly read it word by word, and after seeing the content inside, he put the letter away with a complicated expression.

In the afternoon, Erniu and Chunhua had just come back from fishing in the creek outside, and they saw Chen Yansleeve just coming out of Erniu's house, and Erniu's parents and Chunhua's parents were also there, pulling her to say something.

Chunhua had a sweet mouth, and when she stepped forward, she asked with a smile, "Is Mr. here to ask us to go to class?" ”

"No classes today." Chen Yansleeve looked at them with a smile.

Erniu put down the wooden barrel where there were still two fish bouncing, walked over and looked at her, and said sadly: "Did Mr. decide to marry Rich Master Liu and leave?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Er Niu was twisted by his mother's ear: "Dead child, what nonsense, Miss Chen has to go home for the time being." ”

"Home?" Erniu was stunned for a moment, and Chunhua cried out at the moment: "Mr. is leaving, and if you leave, you will never come back......

Erniu saw Chunhua crying, and also cried with Wow, so angry that Erniu Niang couldn't wait to block this stinky boy's mouth.

Chen Yansleeve looked at the reluctant crowd and said with a smile: "I'll go back for a month or two, and I'll be back soon." ”

"No, Mr.'s house must be very good, and he won't come back if he goes......" Chunhua couldn't cry herself, and Chunhua Niang hurriedly said to Chen Yanchou: "If you are a child, don't take it to heart." When do you plan to leave? I'll tell my family to take you to town to hire a carriage. ”

"By the way, Miss Chen, if you don't wait for two days, Erniu's brother said that the county lord and lady of Yamen are also going to the capital, maybe by the way, otherwise it will be too dangerous for you to be a girl." Erniuniang said worriedly.

Chen Yansleeve smiled lightly: "I'll be fine." I'll set off in a moment, just bother Uncle Yang to send me there. ”

Chunhua wiped her tears, and saw that Chen Yansleeve had made up her mind, so she sobbed and asked her, "Mr. really won't leave us, will he come back?" ”

"Of course." Chen Yansleeve was also reluctant to leave, and the people in this village not only made her feel warm, but also relaxed. She doesn't have to think about anything here, she just needs to live well every day and live every day seriously, and these children......

Chen Yansleeve didn't stay too long, went back and simply packed up a small bag and was ready to leave the village, but when he arrived at the gate of the village, he saw that most of the people in the village had come, especially the group of children led by Erniu and Chunhua, and everyone looked at her reluctantly.

Chunhua solemnly took out her peace blessing and put it in Chen Yansleeve's hand: "Mr. has a safe journey." ”

Chen Yansleeve looked at her little adult's appearance, and then looked at the simple Chunhua Niang's gentle face, held back the slight wetness in her eyes, jumped into the paint-off carriage specially used by Chunhua's father to carry people in and out of the village, and left.

The carriage ran, and Chunhua and Erniu chased straight for a few hundred meters.

Chen Yansleeve kept waving his hand at them, watching their figures get smaller and smaller, and finally dared to fall from tears.

Chunhua's father Mu Ne, usually doesn't like to talk, but he still said to Chen Yansleeve: "Miss Chen, you are a good boy, go back and talk to your family, don't come out and suffer such a crime." ”

Chunhua's father still remembers that when Chen Yanchong first came here two years ago, he didn't know where he came from, and he was injured, but he saved two villagers who were almost bitten to death by wild wolves on the mountain, and the whole person was extremely unenergetic, and he often woke up crying at night.

"Uncle Yang, thank you." Chen Yansleeve looked at him who was driving the carriage with his head bored and said with a smile.

Chunhua's face was red, and he didn't know what to say, so he opened his mouth and mumbled before laughing again.

The road out of the village is very beautiful, the two roads are full of flowers of various colors, butterflies are flying around among the flowers, and the beauty of summer is also deeply imprinted in Chen Yan's heart.

After leaving the mountain, Chunhua's father still wanted to stuff money to Chen Yanchong, but Chen Yansleeve refused, how much silver can be earned from the crops in the village all year round Chen Yanchong knew it in her heart, so she did not hesitate to go to the pawnshop as a piece of her own jade pendant, and bought a fast horse with the money to exchange for jade pendants, so she went to the capital with one person and one horse...... The same place she had escaped for two years.

Capital.

Recently, it has also been very lively, because Mrs. Chen has a seventieth birthday, because it is a whole birthday, so the Chen family decided to organize a big operation for him, and the palace has also passed down the holy decree of reward, and all families in the capital have also begun to prepare, thinking about what big gifts to give when the time comes.

The Chen family, the second lady was so busy that her feet did not leave the ground, although Chen Yunchai helped to manage the account room, she was still so busy that she could hardly eat hot rice in her mouth, and the whole person was haggard.

"The second sister-in-law should also rest." Chen Yunchai just came to her courtyard with the account book and told her about the arrangements for the birthday banquet in a few days.

The second lady was eating, and she didn't care about the rules, so she replied to her with a smile: "Where do I have time to rest, but now I have your help, and I have a lot of worries." ”

Chen Yunchai looked at her like this, shook his head with a smile, put the account book on one side, sat down next to her, and said, "Who made you feel sorry for your daughter-in-law and didn't ask her to help." ”

When the second lady mentioned this, the smile on her face became even bigger: "Luo Ning has a body, tell her to be busy, what if she is tired, I don't want to see Youcai go crazy anymore." ”

mentioned the incident when Chen Youcai almost died two years ago, Chen Yunchai looked at the second lady who had palpitations, and didn't mention it anymore, and said with a smile: "I'll do it for the second sister-in-law in the afternoon, and the second sister-in-law will finish eating well and go to see Luo Ning, Luo Ning is a poor child, and now she has no father and no mother to rely on, and she suffers ...... after she is pregnant with a child."

As soon as Chen Yunchai finished speaking, he saw Yahuan hurriedly running over, and said anxiously: "Madam, the young lady vomited again, and she can't eat anything." ”

"I can't eat it yet, it's been more than four months, why do you still vomit so much." The second lady stood up suddenly, Chen Yunchai saw that she was nervous like this, pulled her down with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, morning sickness also depends on people, maybe it will be fine after a while." And you don't know how much you've seen the ordinary doctor, Ruyi will come back in two days, and then ask her to take a look for Luo Ning. ”

"Ruyi is coming back too?" The second lady was very happy: "I said before that I didn't know where she and Xiaoyan went to play." ”

"I told my dad about the letter I just came today, and my dad was very happy." Chen Yunchai comforted her and sat down, and then came out to see Luo Ning.

Because Luo Ning was pregnant with a child, she lost more than a circle, her eye circles were black, and she basically ate and vomited.

Seeing Chen Yunchai coming, Luo Ning was still struggling to get off the bed to salute her, but was immediately stopped by Chen Yunchai.

"You just have to take care of it, and you don't have to worry about the courtesy."

Luo Ning had no choice but to give up, leaned on the side of the bed, looked at Chen Yunchai and smiled softly: "I'm still bothering my aunt to come to see me." ”

"The biggest baby in the family now is your grandfather, and the second baby is you, so I naturally want to come to see you." Chen Yunchai gave birth to two children, so he sat on the edge of the bed and told her about the situation when she was pregnant, comforting her, and waited for almost half an hour before seeing Chen Youcai, who was covered in sweat, come in from outside, holding a basket of cyan plums in his hand.

"It's ......"

"Plums, Luo Ning said that she likes to eat sour, and she can't do sour preserves, it has to be this kind of thing that will sour her teeth when touched." Chen Youcai said complainingly, but there was love in and out of his words.

Luo Ning looked at Chen Youcai and said anxiously: "Let's go wash first, I'll ask someone to prepare water." ”

"No, I'm going to patrol the camp again." Chen Youcai smiled lightly, asked someone to wash the plums and bring them, and saw that Luo Ning had a little appetite, so he coaxed her to drink a small bowl of shredded chicken porridge, and then hurried out under the scorching sun.

Chen Yunchai looked at their restrained and gentle way of getting along now, and smiled shallowly.

After Luo Ning had eaten and rested, Chen Yunchai went to explain to the mother-in-law in charge of procurement, for his seventieth birthday, there were a lot of things to prepare.

By the time the matter was basically explained, it was already dark.

Chen Yunchai went to the second lady to talk again, and then went back to his yard.

But as soon as I came back, I heard from the maid in the courtyard that Ciyun Temple had sent peace and blessing again.

Chen Yunchai looked at the peace and blessing that came from front of him, his heart moved, and he smiled shallowly: "Put it away." ”

"Yes. But I don't know who sent it, I send it every month, and now I have saved a box. Yahuan muttered and left, Chen Yunchai looked at the green ginkgo biloba in the yard, and his eyes were dyed with a smile.

was so busy, until the day before the birthday, the emperor, who was supposed to come to the birthday banquet, suddenly said that he was sick, and only arranged for Lan Yu to give gifts at that time.

For the emperor to say no, the Chen family actually sent a sigh, because when the time comes, Yan Sleeve will also come back.

Old God Chen felt that his health had improved in the past two days, and it was much easier to walk a few steps in the yard.

Chen Ding followed to the side, and suddenly Old Lady Chen said coldly: "I heard that you want to marry a stepfamily?" ”

Chen Ding was stunned for a moment, and then his old face turned red: "Dad, where are you talking about, what kind of stepfamily is your son married at this age." ”

After speaking, he coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment.

Old Lady Chen glanced at him and snorted lightly: "I don't even dare to admit it, it's a waste." ”

Chen Ding's face froze, and he was speechless for a long time.

Old Lady Chen looked at him cowardly, raised the cane in his hand and hit him, before he said: "Okay, you don't dare to say it, I'll tell you for you, she will definitely understand you, and Tie Rulan is also a good one, if you all have thoughts, just say it generously and get things done as soon as possible." ”

Chen Ding hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Son, thank you father!" ”

Old Lady Chen dared to admit it when she saw him at this time, so she didn't bother to talk about him anymore, so she walked around the courtyard and went back to her room.

But when he returned to the room, he saw a woman standing in the room with a veil.

Old Mrs. Chen's hand shook slightly, and she immediately stopped the little girl who was going to follow behind, and asked someone to close the door, only to look at her distressedly: "Sleeve, you finally came to see grandfather." ”

"Grandfather, it's unfilial." Chen Yansleeve choked and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Old lady Chen's old eyes were moist, and she hurriedly stepped forward to pull her up, looked at her again, and made sure that she didn't hurt her arms and legs, and she didn't have a bad complexion, knowing that she hadn't suffered too many grievances outside, so she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her shoulder: "Good boy, in the past few years, I have suffered you." ”

"The sleeves are not bitter." Chen Yansleeve wiped away his tears, smiled and looked at the old lady who was still healthy, full of guilt.

Old lady Chen didn't blame her at all: "Your grandfather taught you to ride a horse, and your grandfather also taught you the art of war, and your grandfather thinks that you should be a free general, not a canary trapped in a cage, and your grandfather is not wrong about you." ”

Chen Yansleeve saw that he was still comforting himself, tears became more and more turbulent, and Mrs. Chen hurriedly took the teacup and handed her tea: "Don't cry, you cry again, grandfather can't help crying, you see, grandfather is in good health, you don't have to worry about anything, you can live how you want." ”

Chen Yansleeve gritted her teeth and nodded, she never regretted leaving the palace, she was just guilty, as a daughter, she couldn't take care of her family, and her family had to worry about her.

"That's right." Old Mrs. Chen paused, went to the compartment and took a small box, opened it, and it was full of unopened letters: "It's all sent from the south, and it says that you can open it in person, I'm afraid that others will open it, and it's all collected for you in the past two years." ”

Chen Yansleeve glanced at the words written on the envelope, and guessed who wrote it.

"Do you want to take it back and see it?"

"I'll take it." She didn't have to look at it, she knew that it was sent by Lieran, but she also thought very clearly in the past two years, she was in the village, and she got along well with everyone, and she just came back to see her grandfather and relatives more in the future.

Old Lady Chen wanted to speak and stopped, but she still didn't say anything, since she had taken this first step, the way forward was up to her.

The Chen family has already prepared a courtyard for Chen Yansleeve, and the people who are arranged inside are the most confidant of the Chen family, and they have long created the illusion that there is a mysterious guest living inside, so now that Chen Yansleeve lives in, as long as he doesn't come out to show up, no one will find anything.

She returned to her room and was a little surprised to see that it was still the same as before.

"The old lady ordered, no one is allowed to move the arrangement here." A girl came in, saw her, and chuckled.

Chen Yan's sleeve eyes were hot, and she walked in, looking at the bookshelf still with half of the books she had seen at the beginning, the jewelry box on the table was open, and the top was still the hairpin she left for the last time......

"Nothing has changed." As soon as Chen Yansleeve finished speaking, there were footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Youcai.

I haven't seen him for two years, Chen Youcai seems to be taller, has grown some beard, and is a little more calm.

"If you don't come back, I'm going to arrest you back." Chen Youcai saw her, and the time pressed in his heart turned up like a wind and waves.

Chen Yansleeve smiled at him: "When will Ruyi arrive?" ”

"Tomorrow is coming." Chen Youcai walked over, sat down, and took out a sour plum for her: "Luo Ning likes to eat it recently, it tastes good, you can taste it." ”

Chen Yansleeve was not suspicious, took the plum, and took a bite with a smile.

As soon as he finished biting, he chased Chen Youcai from the yard to the outside of the yard, until he swallowed the whole sour plum, and then he forgot it!

But what Chen Yansleeve didn't know was that the two men she had been refusing to see already knew that she had returned to Chen's house.

The sun is setting in the west, and the tall man who comes from the sunset sits on a horse, and his facial features appear more profound and condensed.

He had just entered the capital, looking at the place he had been away from for a long time was still so lively, his eyes were deep, and two years had passed, and he had made all the preparations.
