After the maid standing at the door of the room saw An Ming leave, she retracted her gaze obediently, and there was nothing unusual in her expression, but there was no look in her eyes, like a puppet.

The people lying on the bed in the room waiting for the heat wave to pass, their faces were flushed, cold sweat had soaked half of their bodies, and even their lips began to turn white, but what was disturbing was that the people on the bed were already burning and dazed, constantly muttering something......

A tea flower loomed on the girl's forehead, and her delicate face at this time seemed a little more detached from the world.

At the same time, night has fallen unconsciously, and the streets outside the house are still very lively, as if it is because they know that there will be a grand banquet tomorrow, and the liveliness of the people seems to be the same in the peaceful period.

The waning moon outside the house hung high in the sky, and a circle of hazy white light emanated from the surroundings, and the people who had been looking down for a long time suddenly smiled and closed the window.

Turning to look at the maid who came in, the smile on Chen Zhijin's face froze a little.

"Miss, Madame is here." Liang Er's face also seemed to be smiling, but she could still see a little pity on the face of this face that she had grown up with since she was a child, and said that when a woman got married, she needed to give her parents a cup of parting wine on the eve before, and as a mother, she had to comb her grown daughter's loose black hair with her own hands, and after three combs, her daughter got the blessing of her parents.

Chen Zhijin only smiled faintly and walked over lightly, if her biological parents were still alive...... But now that her adoptive mother is doing this, it seems to be her greatest blessing.

Then stepping into the door was a woman dressed in graceful clothes, although there was not too much decoration on her head, but this face should be properly maintained and there were no traces left by the erosion of time, Chen Zhijin slowly saluted, and said softly: "Mother"

The woman who came in didn't see the steps she took out, and in a blink of an eye, she was already holding her hand, Chen Zhijin's hand...... Some clenched a little.

But the woman frowned slightly, her tone was half reproachful and half worried, Chen Zhijin felt a little warmth in the palm of her hand, and her eyes seemed to reflect the moonlight of a waning moon.

"How can you be so cold, Liang'er, have you taken good care of your young lady?" The voice remained unchanged, but the tone of reproach could still be heard, and the woman glanced at the maid beside her, her expression was a little cold, and the latter glanced at her own young lady, quickly lowered her head, and squatted down to salute.

"Madam, it's the slave's ......"

"It's okay, I just felt that the house was a little dull, and I opened the window to blow the wind, and it has nothing to do with Liang'er." Chen Zhijin smiled, as if he didn't care much about this matter, the woman in front of her eyes had a flickering light in a moment, and the maid next to her glanced at the window, walked over and closed it.

The woman took all the movements under her eyes and said in a light tone: "You, the maid, also want to marry you, but you have to be clever and talk about it...... I'm going to get on the sedan chair tomorrow, so why don't I pay attention to my body tonight. But the woman didn't seem to be a real reproach, but pulled the man to sit down.

Chen Zhijin's eyes were heavy, but he didn't say anything.

"Madam, the slave has prepared something." Liang Er walked over and said obediently, but the smile on Chen Zhijin's face on the side has never subsided, as if tonight should be a happy day.

The woman nodded, but said nothing more.

When the two people in the seat looked at each other, Chen Zhijin seemed to see the person in front of him at that moment...... Coldness under the eyes.

As always...... Chen Zhijin still smiled, and it seemed that there was nothing to look forward to all of a sudden.

"Jin'er, there isn't much that my mother can do for you, but tonight ...... I'm glad to have this opportunity. The woman's tone did not hide her exclamation, and because of the emotion revealed in this voice, the eyelashes of the person opposite trembled slightly, as if she was frightened.

The brilliance in the woman's eyes also seemed to be a dark shadow for a while, Chen Zhijin looked at the person in front of him, and then he was relieved, maybe this is called the fulfillment of two phases.

"Mother, although Jin'er will get married tomorrow, Huan'er will stay in the house for a few years...... also asked her mother to discipline Huan'er well, after all, Huan'er's temperament ...... "In the eyes of the woman, the woman in her twenties in front of her is more and more gentle, without the delicate makeup in the daytime, and her face is becoming more and more soft at this time, which looks like the demeanor of the housewife, which is ...... The woman's face was still satisfied.

Chen Zhijin looked at the candle flame on the table, it seemed a little weaker, the candlelight was reflected on the face of the person opposite, seeing that the woman was nodding, the light in her eyes seemed to be swaying with the candle flame, after she left the house, Huan'er was still in the Chen Mansion, probably except for the main mother, no one would pity the child a little, and after she got married, she moved into the attic, which was also a matter of a few days later.

The expression on the woman's face changed slightly, but it was not obvious, and she seemed to think of something at this moment, and the coldness in her eyes was diluted a lot.

"Huan'er is a little willful, but she is disciplined by you very well on weekdays, so she naturally doesn't have to worry about her mother." Chen Zhijin noticed that something was not quite right with the expression of the person in front of him, and covered up the doubts in his heart for a while, and the two slender and white hands that the woman put on the table were almost transparent.

"Jin'er, comb your hair for your mother." His gaze staggered elsewhere, and Chen Zhijin's face showed distraction for a while.

"Jin'er ......"

"There's a mother." The man got up, his expression was very soft, and there was no sign of the loss of consciousness that had just appeared.

In front of the dresser is an old bronze mirror, but a wooden comb on the edge of the table has tight teeth and carved lilies on it, which looks very delicate.

The marriage custom of the Xuanyue Dynasty passed down the bronze mirrors used by several generations, and the wooden comb when the mother combed her daughter's hair on the eve of the wedding was prepared on the day when the woman was fifteen years old and came of age.

The woman mopped the floor in gorgeous clothes, and the two walked hand in hand to the dresser, and when Chen Zhijin sat down and looked at himself in the bronze mirror, the excitement in his heart that he thought he would not have still came in bursts.

The black hair was scattered, and the woman's silk-like ink-colored hair was scattered on the white dress, and because of the soft candlelight in the room, the hair became more and more like thick ink, and the woman held a comb in her right hand, and touched the satin-like hair with her left hand, and some light flashed under the woman's eyes.

Although Jin'er was not born to her, she was also the child left by the man, although she ...... It was that person who took her first, even if her identity is now the eldest lady of the Chen Mansion, but in the end, it is a continuation of the string, which is a mantissa in the Chen family tree.

"Jin'er, this is the Fu family, although the eldest son of the Fu family is a little colder, but the Fu and Chen families are world friends, and they will not treat you badly." After these words, there was a long silence, Chen Zhijin stared at himself in the mirror, and tears appeared in his eyes.

"Mother, can Jin'er go and say good morning to the mistress tomorrow?" This sentence seemed to be a little choked, but the people in the seat felt the tenderness of the woman behind him, and they couldn't help but say it in their hearts. The mistress has been sick in bed for six days, if not, she should go and ask for good morning today, but this rule is in front of her, saying that the bride to be taught should not be contaminated with filth for half a month when she marries, that is, she has not seen her mistress for six days, and she will marry tomorrow...... He will not be able to return until the day of his return, and it will be ten days later.

I could feel the movements of the woman's hands for a moment, and then the comb was slowly combed down, and the person in the bronze mirror showed a little nervousness between the originally plain eyebrows and eyes, she actually had something to say to the housewife, just because of the ...... in the house The mother's eyeliner is too much, and it is even more because the main mother does not want to see her at this time.

She didn't care about this rule, but about Huan'er's marriage...... She also wanted to ask the mistress to think twice, now that Huan'er is still young, it is really not appropriate to decide this matter. After all...... She is a case in point.

"Jin'er, the old lady won't be able to show up tomorrow, if you have anything to say, just let Weiniang tell me." In the bronze mirror, Chen Zhijin lowered his head, and naturally did not see the serious look in the expression of the woman behind him.

Chen Zhijin was silent, and he also saw that the reflected image in the bronze mirror was melted into the pale yellow light, and it was a little blurry.

"Jin'er...... I just want to see the main mother, I wonder if the main mother's illness is better? The concern in her voice was very natural, and it was impossible to see what she was hiding at this time.

The woman's expression also revealed something, and it was put away quickly, between the two, the mother-daughter relationship was not so deep, this estrangement ...... We know each other.

"I went to see the old lady before Wei Niang came, and the old lady's body was much better, but she couldn't see the wind yet, so she asked Wei Niang to tell Jin'er a word...... If you are wronged in the Fu Mansion, you can come back, and there is still the master mother waiting for you in the Mansion. This sentence may have changed its original meaning from the mouth of others, but in this sentence, the housemother's love for her all said that a woman marries and obeys her husband, how can there be a woman who runs back to her parents' house because of a quarrel between husband and wife, but the love of the housemother...... She understood it in her heart, so she thought that as long as there was a housemother, Huan'er's marriage would not be so difficult.

Silence spread in the room again, except for the small sound of the wooden comb on the black hair, the surroundings were very quiet, but from time to time a few insects sounded outside the house, adding a little to the silence of the house...... In fact, there is a hint of tranquility in it.

Fu Fu study

The candle flame reflected in the study was a little brighter than the moonlight pouring outside, and the attendants who had been guarding the door had already gone back to rest, and the people in the room were ...... Flipping through the ledger at hand, but his eyes never seemed to stay on the account recorded by this pen, Fu Mingyuan's eyes were very deep, the candlelight under his eyes gradually disappeared, and the eyebrows and eyes seemed to be endlessly sorrowful.

"Childe, let's rest early......" The person standing next to him looked at his own master who was a little restless, Mu You's face was full of worry, isn't Childe worried about tomorrow?
