Chen Ying glanced at Chen Han and didn't speak.

Her fourth sister was enjoying herself, looking like a victorious general, as if she wanted to make everyone in the world praise her, but she was completely unaware that the topic had been strangely taken to an unknowable direction.

What's even more weird is that Li Xi actually laughed with Chen Han, obviously forgetting the so-called "fame event" of Fang Cai.

After laughing for a while, Chen Han put away his smile again, and said seriously: "Second sister, don't forget that we are foreigners, those locals love to bully people, if we can't twist into a rope, won't we be bullied by others?" ”

This is a big reason, but it doesn't quite look like Chen Han's tone, which makes Chen Ying quite surprised.

Fortunately, Chen Han's next words still returned to the original track: "Our Chengguo Mansion is the first-class title of the Great Chu Dynasty, one of these people is counted as one, and it is not worthy of carrying shoes for us, let's be a guest, that is to put gold on their faces, so that they can shine, and they should be respected." ”

Chen Han's voice was not high, but the style of a noble lady in the public mansion was full of style, and he continued: "Whoever I love is close to whomever I love, and whoever I love is far away." There is no place in Shandong Province where my Chen family girl dare not go, and these small-bellied chicken intestines look at me stupidly, a group of mountain village women sitting in wells and watching the sky. ”

Speaking of the last sentence, she gave a very disdainful white eye, and stood in the pavilion looking condescendingly at Merlin in the distance, looking at all beings.

When the sisters in the pavilion heard this, they all looked sideways, which made Chen Han feel more and more like the center of everyone, and his nostrils were almost tilted to the sky.

After a while, Li Xifang grinned and clapped his hands: "Cousin Han is so courageous, she really has a heroic demeanor." ”

Chen Han snorted, raised his hand and swept his temples, and put on a score more and more.

Seeing that one of these two people was pretending to be and the other was holding stinky feet, and they cooperated very tacitly, Chen Ying finally realized that the relationship between Li Xi and Chen Han seemed to be very good.

"Sorry cousin, you're really a fool, we all go home in the future, what can you do?" Chen Han added a sentence worriedly at this time, and Chen Ying's guess was more and more confirmed.

Li Xi was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "What is this?" When I go back, I tell my grandmother to go, and ask her to write a letter to Jingli and stay with you for a little longer. ”

Chen Han's face changed when he said this, and he felt that he was self-defeating, so he tried his best to dissuade him, and the two of them squeaked and chatted endlessly.

Chen Ying looked at them with a strange expression.

Could it be ...... This is called depersonalization. Li Xi's big and dissolved temper actually straightened Chen Han's crooked seedling?

"Third sister, isn't it possible that someone has also mentioned to you about the Devil's Crying Ridge?" Chen Xiang's voice sounded, bringing Chen Ying back to his senses.

She turned her head to look at Chen Xiang's worried face, only to see her ask again: "But I don't know if my aunt knows about this?" Does the old lady know too? ”

"After today, my aunt and grandmother should know about them." Chen Ying said.

Even if they don't know, she has to tell the Ni family about it, so that everyone can be prepared, and more importantly, the origin of this rumor must be investigated, and it is impossible to say what kind of political (ah) conspiracy it is.

When Chen Xiang heard this, his face was even more worried, and he was about to say something more, but a report from the maid suddenly came from outside the pavilion: "A few girls, it's time to start a banquet." ”

When the girls heard the sound, they saw that the girls who enjoyed the flowers in the plum garden were dispersing, and the cold branches in the garden were gradually lonely, and the cold fragrance became stronger and stronger.

"Let's go, don't miss the hour." Chen Xiang said.

Everyone said yes, and left the pavilion together, and went forward to the feast.

The next banquet was calm, and it could even be said that the atmosphere was harmonious, and the loyal and brave uncle and daughter-in-law greeted everyone in the Li family with extra thoughtfulness, and they were kind and courteous, even the most picky people couldn't find the slightest fault.

Chen Ying concluded from this that the Lu family sisters should have told the elders about the matter in the corner of the water pavilion, and in order to prevent the thin layer of skin from being punctured, the Wan family and the Yu family tried their best to show favor to the Ni family, and their purpose was nothing more than to calm things down, at least they could not offend the Chengguo Mansion behind Chen Ying, as well as the current Jinan prefect Li Heng.

After the feast was dismissed, everyone divided into several groups, some went to the small pavilion to listen to the play, and some enjoyed the scenery, and the older ladies and wives opened a few tables of horse hangings, and the entertainment activities were also rich.

Seeing that the guests were almost gone, Zhishi Fang came over and whispered to Chen Ying: "The maid went around outside, but those servants didn't talk too much, but they ......"

She stopped talking, turned her head to look around, and saw that Li Xi and the others were all looking at the swimming fish in front of her at this time, so she whispered: "...... However, the maid had heard a lot about the cousin, who turned out to be ......"

"She is the family member of the Zhaoyuan County Order." Chen Ying took over the conversation.

From the first moment she heard the Lu family sisters talk about their people, she guessed the origin of this cousin.

Zhishi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately responded yes, and said, "The girl guessed accurately." That cousin is indeed the daughter of Zhaoyuan County Order, it is said that she is a concubine, and she is the third in the family. ”

It's actually a concubine?

Chen Ying frowned: "Uncle Zhongyong also has a knighthood, and the girls of his family will also be concubines?" ”

Since this cousin girl is a concubine, her biological mother can only be a concubine, but the Zhongyong Bofu is still quite prosperous now, how can it be possible to give a girl in the clan to a small county order as a concubine?

"The maid also felt strange at that time, so she used some money, but inquired about it." Zhishi said, his voice becoming more and more low:

"It turns out that the cousin's biological mother is from a very low background, she is a cousin, she was born to an old lady of the Lu family with a trick back then, and she was born with a bad body, she was sick and crooked, and she didn't look very good. Because the elders of her family died early, Mrs. Lu kindly took her in and raised her under her knees. When the outer room girl grew up, Mrs. Lu spent a lot of effort to give her to the county magistrate of Zhaoyuan County as a concubine, and she also held a marriage that year, and also set up a few tables of banquets, which was also decent. ”

The daughter born by the trick is frail and sickly, and the possibility of being used for marriage or clinging is minimized, but the Wan family makes the best use of it and gives her to Zhaoyuan County as a concubine, obviously she is an orphan girl in the Gu Nian clan, but secretly she just maximizes the value of this outer room girl.
