Chapter 692: Apricot Blossoms Blowing Snow
Folding the letterhead into her sleeve, Chen Ying raised her eyes and looked out the window, speechless for a long time.
In the early spring of Shengjing City, the streets are full of fresh green, the warm breeze is soft, there are poplar flowers finely broken, and the light snow is flying.
Chen Ying thought that Mrs. Xu might not have a little complaint in her heart.
Calling her to the Hou Mansion and talking back to Old Madam Xu in person was a kind of vague blame in itself.
If Chen Ying hadn't opened a girls' school and asked Chen Han to help teach, this incident would not have happened.
It's just that Mrs. Xu must have understood better that she forced Chen Xiang and Chen Han to send them to Shandong and send them to study in the Li family, which was the antecedent of all these bitter consequences.
Chen Han probably saw this, so he simply ruined his reputation, but to a certain extent, it made Mrs. Xu suffer a dumb loss.
And Mrs. Xu didn't bother with her, the reason for this was that she was afraid and wanted her to suffer first.
She probably expected that Chen Han would not last long.
In fact, even Chen Ying is not sure about this.
Chen Han's letter certainly touched her, but she was also surprised by her disdain for her reputation and even her disdain for her reputation, as well as the great influence of the girls' school.
Still, she wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Walking out of the boudoir was already difficult, just like Chen Han, it was in a way that was close to self-destruction that he stepped out of that door.
But I don't know, has she ever thought that if she takes this step, perhaps, there will be no way back?
What if she regrets it?
What if she wants to go back to the days of Chen Lu and Chen Xiang?
What then?
Chen Han must not have known, or he knew it, and only took this bold step according to his own nature.
And Chen Ying also didn't know.
She and Chen Han are both crossing the river by feeling the stones, and no one can predict what the future will be.
The sound of the car is rushing, galloping through the street market where spring is approaching, the curtain gently beats the window lattice, and occasionally a few handfuls of falling floc flutter in, it is the flowers that are gradually charming to the eyes.
After returning home, Chen Ying immediately wrote a letter to Shandong, telling him that Chen Han was about to return to the school to teach, and attached the teaching plan for the new year with the letter.
In the next few days, Chen's house was very lively, first Xu's visit, then Shen's visit, and Mrs. Xu's also made Liu Baoshan's house come to the house and sent a few late gifts.
After a few reciprocations, it was regarded as a clear way to pass the matter, and the rhetoric was also unified to the outside world, on the grounds that "a certain senior monk calculated that Chen Hanliu's year was unfavorable", so that she had a good excuse to go to Shandong.
In short, everything is complicated, needless to say, when Chen Han set off, it was early spring in February, Motou willows were green, there were early blooming apricot blossoms, trees were full of frost and jade, and a city of snow was blown down.
Chen Ying went to the Beijing Wharf to see him off, and finally met Chen Han.
Chen Han has lost a lot of weight, his cheeks are thin, his jaw is pointed, and his eyes are getting bigger and bigger.
It is reported that Mrs. Xu was annoyed that she acted regardless of the front and back, and also annoyed that she had taken her own army, so she was ruthless and punished her to kneel in the ancestral hall for half a month.
When Chen Ying saw her, she hadn't come back yet, but she was in a very good spirit, and when she saw Chen Ying, she pulled her and smiled: "Oh, Principal Chen, it's rare for you to see me off, if you want to meet again in the future, I don't know what it will be like." If you have anything to say, tell me and I'll give you a message to school. ”
There is no trace of leaving home, and I am happier than anyone else.
Chen Ying looked around, a little worried, and asked, "Why are you the only one?" Didn't Mrs. Chen come? What about Miss Chen? ”
In addition to the subordinates who accompanied the two rooms, only one Feng's mother saw them off, and even Liu Baoshan's family did not show up.
Chen Han's expression froze, and he laughed quickly, covered his lips and said, "Why are you so stupid?" You don't know what kind of reputation I have now. Even if you barely prevaricate with an excuse, who will believe it? If the second sister and they come, won't they be affected by me? And my mother'......."
She suddenly paused, her eyes were a little red, she was busy pretending to bow her head to straighten her belt, her fingertips stroked the simple tassel tape, and continued with a slightly trembling voice: "...... Ridiculous, you say? My mother came out yesterday with a family law and wanted to beat me. I looked at her to hit a few more times, but her strength was really small, and she got rid of a stick in a few clicks, I picked it up and returned it to her, but she couldn't hold it firmly, I picked it up a few times, she dropped it a few times, you say...... You say it's funny, no. ”
She raised her head, her eyes were hazy, but her eyes were stubbornly wide open, the corners of her mouth were crooked, and she was about to twist into a smile, and her trembling voice continued: "I'll ...... this morning." I went to kowtow to my mother, and she told me through the window that she was afraid that she would not be able to protect me in the future, and my father heard about me in office, and he was so angry that he wanted to get rid of my clan, but the old lady called him to stop. ”
She pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, her eyes seemed to have a thin transparent shell, and with a slight touch, it would be shattered: "Mother said, tell me to protect myself in the future, she wants to protect me, and she doesn't have the strength." I said I knew, I also said that I was a bad girl, my mother was angry and sad, it was all my fault, and the most sorry thing I couldn't live was my mother's ......"
She couldn't say any more, she pursed her lips desperately, but her head was slightly raised, and her eyes looked at the sky, like a proud little rooster.
Only in this way will her tears not fall.
"It's not as serious as you think." Chen Ying said gently, looked ahead, did not look at her, and allowed her to slowly collect her emotions.
The spring breeze slowly blows over, the river is mighty, the sky is like washing, the white wings of gulls and herons are cut across the water, and the chirping of Qingyue is far away.
Chen Ying's voice also seemed to carry the meaning of water, moist and clean: "The old lady should have told you that I went to Shandong to live temporarily, and I will wait for a while......"
"I won't be coming back." Chen Han interrupted her abruptly.
Chen Ying looked back, but saw that she had already collected her tears, except for the redness of her eyes, everything was as usual.
"I won't go back to the Hou Mansion again." Chen Han spoke again, and after a few breaths, a faint smile appeared on his lips: "There is something I haven't told you." My father asked for a new concubine room in office, and the concubine room was angry, and gave birth to a pair of twin brothers. Today, I have three younger brothers. ”
Chen Ying looked at her in amazement.
She really didn't know anything about it, and Xu and Shen never mentioned it.
Chen Hanyu smiled to himself, and his expression became more and more light: "My father is afraid that he is crazy with joy, so he wrote a letter to report the good news, and begged my grandmother to give the concubine room a name. My grandmother didn't agree, and my mother was so angry that she smashed a whole set of Ruyao Lianzhu bottles and poured them on the bed for several days. My grandmother wouldn't let us talk about it. ”
