Chen Ying looked at Chen Jun with a smile and did not speak.

Chen Shao has been missing for seven years, and Chen Jun has become like this, which happens to be seven years.

In the past seven years, Chen Ying has watched her brother arm himself little by little with jumping, cynicism, and superficial indifference, and armed himself to the point of invulnerability.

It is said that poverty makes people precocious, and hardships make people grow.

Chen Jun is growing up in his own way, this change Chen Ying can see, Li can also see it, but others may not be able to understand it.

The brother and sister broke up in front of the courtyard gate, Chen Jun went to the study to continue to study hard, and Chen Ying asked someone to close the courtyard door, only opened the corner door leading to the outside of the west courtyard, called the flower in the nursery and a few big maids, and ordered: "Jiangyun, Ziqi, you guard the door." Mama Hua, no matter who came for a while, she said that her mother had just taken medicine and slept down, and there were no outsiders, so she led them all to the 'Red Fragrance Dock'. ”

Since Chen Shao's disappearance, Li's body has been weakening day by day, and he is often sick, and Chen Ying's words are not lies.

Hua was busy at the nursery, leading people down, Chen Ying called to find the truth and know the truth, and asked them to take a few little girls to prepare refreshments, seats and furnishings, etc., and then she went to Hongxiangwu.

Although there are few people in the second room, there are quite a lot of yards, there are four across the courtyard alone, and there are two elegant small courtyards. Now, in addition to the red incense dock in the west courtyard that was used by Chen Ying as a study and a place to entertain guests, there was also a "pile of Jinxuan" that she changed into a martial arts arena by her, and the rest of the people who didn't need it could only lock the courtyard door empty.

Hongxiangwu has three fine houses, the layout is simple, Chen Ying has always been used as a study, after entering the hospital, she went to the main room, just about to pick a miscellaneous book to sit down and read, there was a sound of talking.

"What is the third sister doing? I'll take a look at you. Before anyone arrived, the sound was heard first, Chen Ying twisted the corners of her mouth and put down the book, but when the door curtain opened, a beauty like spring dew and morning glow stood outside the curtain, it was Chen Yi.

"Big sister is here, come in and sit." Chen Ying fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, beckoned her to sit down, and asked someone to serve fresh tea and fruit.

Chen Yi sat down as he said, his eyes flowed, his eyebrows looked around, and he glanced around the room, and a little disappointment welled up on Qingli's face, and he sighed: "Third sister, your house is also empty, and you really have the word red incense." ”

A poetic girl, she can express her poetic heart wherever she goes.

Chen Ying twisted the corners of her mouth: "Let the big sister smile." He pointed out the window: "When the flowers bloom outside, this room is not so empty." ”

There are a few begonias planted in the yard of Hongxiangwu, and when the flowers bloom, there is a room. Even though the flowering period has passed, the shadow of the green and fluffy tree is reflected in front of the window, which is also a bit interesting.

Chen Ying felt that there were jagged shadows in front of the window, and there was the fragrance of grass blades in the wind, so this study room was qualified.

Chen Luo frowned and shook his head: "This is not good, I will go back and tell my mother in a while, ask her to open the warehouse, and add a few furnishings to your good life." Saying that, she became interested again, stood up and walked back and forth in the room, pointing here and saying that there was a lack of a clear offering bottle, and at another point there saying that there was a lack of a table screen, and at another time she was disgusted that the chairs were too old, and the patterns on the embroidered piers were not fashionable from time to time, etc., and she blamed the whole room.

It was easy for her to stop talking, sat down again and took a sip of tea, as soon as the tea took her mouth, she squinted slightly and nodded: "This tea is not bad, is it a montex flower?" ”

"It should be. It was sent by my aunt a few days ago. Chen Ying said, her tone a little uncertain.

Chen Yi raised a slender finger and pointed at her, and said with a smile: "The third sister is really slippery, and she doesn't know what to say, isn't this the Monted Stone Flower, and she coaxes me with other words." ”

Chen Ying was very helpless and sighed: "I don't know tea either, so I can't drink anything." The big sister asked me in vain. ”

While the two were talking, a little girl in a green armor came over and said with a smile: "Girl, the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh girls are here." ”

With the voice, there was a chatter of chattering outside, mixed with messy footsteps, Chen Yi put down the tea cup, a trace of ridicule crossed his face, and Xun Zhen on the side told a few little girls to carry chairs and set tea sets with a bitter face, and the four girls in the third room walked in on their heels.

There are a total of five girls in the third room, the second girl Chen Xiang, the fourth girl Chen Han and the ten-year-old fifth girl Chen Qing are all concubines, and the eight-year-old sixth girl Chen Yuan and the seven-year-old seventh girl Chen Mei are all concubines. In addition, the only brother in the third room, the fifth master Chen Xun, is also from his aunt, and he is only two years old this year.

Shen's she was originally the daughter of the official of Ying Tianfu, and she married into the Guogong Mansion by chance, which can be regarded as a high marriage. Since she got married, she has been holding back her strength to compete with two high-born sisters-in-law, especially the Li family, who is regarded by her as a hidden opponent.

It's a pity that Shen's stomach is not angry, and he gave birth to three daughters in one go, and then there is no movement. She was anxious, so she invited a famous doctor to take a look, and then found out that she had broken her body when she gave birth to Chen Qing, and it would be difficult to have children in the future.

Shen cried a lot, and as a last resort, he had to open the faces of the two accompanying girls, that is, Aunt Ge and Aunt Fan, just looking at their stomachs to fight for some energy.

It's a pity that these two aunts only gave birth to a daughter each, and there is no news again. Shen's maiden family finally couldn't sit still, and Mrs. Shen personally went out and picked a distant niece in her hometown who looked good and had a good temperament and sent her to the Guogong Mansion, which is now Aunt Su.

Aunt Su was lucky, she became pregnant soon after entering the house, and gave birth to a son the following year, Chen Xun, who is now raised under Shen's knees.

There are successors in the third room, Aunt Su is a mother and son, and because she is young and beautiful, literate and hyphenated, the third old man Chen Mian is very fond of her, it is said that he once mentioned to Mrs. Xu that he wanted to take Aunt Su's two brothers into Beijing to study, but Mrs. Xu categorically refused, and was severely reprimanded.

I have to say that the Guogong Mansion has today's weather, and the four masters in the family are all promising, and Mrs. Xu has made great contributions.

She is a well-behaved person, strict in governing the family, and has always treated her four sons equally, not only never discriminating in food and clothing, but also teaching them according to their aptitude, since the enlightenment of the famous teachers for them, to be successful in learning, and to ask her mother's family to contribute, send them to the country to study, and when the sons embark on their careers, Mrs. Xu spared no effort to help.

She is not only a competent mother, but also a tolerant mother-in-law, after the sons got married, she handed over the feed to the Xu family, and became an old feudal monarch, and the sons almost never interfered in the affairs of the house, whether to take a concubine or not, and how the heirs were, she never cared much.
