Chapter 444: Father is not as good as brother
The Qingxi Residence on the middle road of Yangning Hou Mansion has always been the residence of the head of the Yangning Hou family in the past dynasties, and it is the most magnificent. Although Chen Ying has been gone for nearly three years and Mrs. Xu has passed away, Aunt Luo still takes care of all kinds of affairs in an orderly manner, and she has also used her brains in the deployment of personnel. She didn't dare to stretch out her hand to other places, and she had to work Qingxi Residence, so even if she didn't dare to boast that everyone was loyal, she could barely say that it was self-contained.
Between these gorgeous houses, there is a simple and simple courtyard at the end, which is only two of the three east and west wings of the main house, and there are very few people who enter and exit on weekdays, regardless of the New Year's Festival and so on. This is the meditation hall where Chen Xi led his practice. Originally, because those girls were getting older, Chen Xi asked Aunt Luo to lead everyone out to get married, and a few little girls who didn't keep their heads came again, and they talked less and less. So, since Chen Ying said that she should go to the nunnery, she immediately packed up her bags without saying a word, and now she was sitting on the kang and looking at the few cages, and she heard the sound of talking outside.
"Is Fifth Miss really going to the nunnery? So what are we going to do then? ”
"We are all servants of the Hou Mansion, what the master says is what it is, what else can we do? If the lord or aunt says a word, we have to follow the fifth lady to practice. ”
"How so...... Woo, then how can I come back to see my father and mother in the future? Miss Fifth is too, didn't my aunt look for a few families before, why didn't she change her mind! ”
"Don't cry, what's the use of crying! Left and right are our lives! ”
The two little girls hugged their heads and cried when they said that, Chen Xi in the room listened to it, and a trace of sadness gradually appeared on his cold and indifferent faces. Aunt Luo is her biological mother, so naturally she is trying her best to think about her, and the school-age men of that family don't know how much effort it takes, and even the battle for the title of Earl of Xiangyang and the loss of the marriage certificate may also be due to Aunt Luo's efforts in it. However, after all calculations, how could she open her mouth to tell others that after Uncle Xiangyang disappeared, her father sent someone to warn her, if she dared to take advantage of his marriage in the capital, then Aunt Luo would definitely not end well!
Left and right are fate!
Chen Xi clenched his fists all of a sudden and took a deep breath. Hengzhu She was already disheartened, if her father was really too powerful, she was not without a little trick, but the net was broken. If she could really go to the nunnery to practice quietly, it would be better for her than to be constantly worried in this Hou mén.
Suddenly, there was a shout from outside the mén, followed by the crying that stopped all at once. Chen Xi looked out, and saw that the mén curtain was lifted, but it was the fifth brother Chen Han who came in. After three years, he has become about the same height as Chen Yan, and his face is full of anger at this moment.
"Fifth sister, why don't I go and talk to my father? You're not in the way of cultivating here, so why are you moving out? There are also a few unruly girls, who don't want to protect the lord well, but chew their tongues there! ”
"People who are going to get married, and they are still so explosive!" Although Chen Xi has rarely seen people in recent years, even his brothers are the same, but Chen Han is the brother of her mother's compatriot after all, looking at Chen Han's puffing appearance, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, shook her head and said softly, "You just take care of your own affairs, be filial to your aunt, you don't have to pay attention to my affairs." ”
"How can this work? Although I can't compare to the fourth brother's ability, I can't watch you ......"
"What can't you compare to me?"
Chen Han was about to try his best to persuade again, when he suddenly heard this voice behind him, and he immediately closed his mouth. Turning his head and seeing that it was Chen Yan who entered the room with a smile, he felt even more puzzled, and found that Chen Yan was looking at him with a smile, so he said angrily: "I said that I can't compare to the fourth brother, you have more ghost ideas!" ”
"If only you knew!" Chen Yan was not angry, and greeted Chen Xi with a smile, and then said, "If it weren't for Mrs. Yang coming over, it would not be easy for me to come to see the fifth sister." No, the third sister has a body, and all kinds of gifts in the mirror garden are piled up into a mountain, and they will not be used for a while, so Mrs. Yang has to give some to us, and come to see the old lady. This Poria cream and rose dew were specially given to the fifth sister by the third sister. ”
said what kind of Poria Frost Rose Dew, but Chen Han clearly saw Chen Yan take out a letter from his arms with a smile and hand it over, his eyes suddenly widened, and he wanted to open his mouth but was stopped by Chen Yan shaking his hand, so he could only stand there and be depressed.
Chen Xi saw that Chen Yan looked determined, and couldn't help but show a smile on his cold face, and immediately took it.
Standing there tearing open the seal in front of her two brothers, she reached out and dug inside, but instead of the expected two or three pieces of letterhead, she took out a piece of slightly damaged tissue paper. When she unfolded it, she changed her face, and in an instant, she looked up at Chen Yan, "Fifth sister, don't look at me with such eyes, it's scary!" ”
Although Chen Yan said this, the expression on his face was still smiling: "The third sister said to me, it's not that I can't find this thing, but that there are people in Xiangyang Bofu who think that strange goods can be lived in, and they are ready to sell them at a good price, but as long as they are professionals, there is nothing that they can't get." Fifth sister, you have been waiting for this for nearly three years, and now that you have this thing, as long as you tear it up, you can find another good person......"
"You tell the third sister, I appreciate her kindness!" Chen Xi interrupted Chen Yan's words, and folded the piece of paper as it was, carefully hid it in his arms, and then raised his head and said, "I have long been disheartened about the marriage, if it weren't for the hard work of the concubine and the aunt, and the repeated persuasion of the third sister, I would not have made up my mind to accept this marriage." But if he really dies, I'd rather keep it for the rest of my life than let others lay it out like a cargo. ”
When he said this, Chen Han's face changed greatly, and he clenched his fists all of a sudden. As if he had expected it, Chen Yan smiled helplessly: "The third sister is really expected...... Fifth sister, let me tell you the truth, there is some news from Jinyiwei's side, but it is not very good to say whether it is true or false, otherwise, you will ...... like this"
Hearing Chen Yan step forward and lower his voice and say something to Chen Xifen, Chen Han, who could hear every word clearly beside him, only felt like a fool, and couldn't help but roar at the end: "Fourth brother, you can actually think of such a ghost idea!" ”
"What else do you say? Didn't you ask me to try it before? Chen Yan glanced at Chen Han angrily, and then said eloquently, "You have also seen the fifth sister's decision, instead of just being so stiff, is this method practical?" ”
"Then it's better to let the concubine Niangniang help find a wishful marriage......"
"Fifth brother, you don't have to say it!" Chen Xi thought of his father Chen Ying's chilling gaze, and finally made up his mind, "The concubine is not the queen's mother, and this matter cannot be repeated." And the method that the fourth brother said, as long as the old lady is willing to come forward, there is no reason, even the father can't find a reason to oppose it. That's it! ”
Seeing that Chen Yan laughed, he took out a small burden from his back after a few more words, and then left without looking back, Chen Han couldn't help but show his forehead, stepped forward and grabbed Chen Xi's hand and said, "Fifth sister, why are you doing this!" Although the second brother is a little cowardly, he also told me that he will try his best to help you, as well as me and my aunt, why are you ......?"
"With a father, can you and your aunt openly disobey?" Seeing that Chen Han was speechless, Chen Xi stroked his sideburns with a smile, and then said in a low voice, "If that's the case, under my father's anger, what will happen to you and your aunt?" Daddy's xìng son is the most intolerant of disobedience, let alone believing in affection, even if this happens, he will definitely feel that the old lady and the fourth brother are just calculating him, and he will not blame you, so as not to affect you......"
"Fifth Sister ......"
"Okay, okay, the third sister once said to me, that young lady of Pingjiangbo is a delicate life and has no scheming, I am relieved that you can marry such a wife. As for the second brother and sister-in-law, although it can't be said to be very harmonious, they still respect each other after all, and they are good to their aunts. Don't worry about me anymore, according to what Xiao Si said, even if it is ...... I'm not afraid of being sold to someone else by my father again. Chen Xi said this in a fit of anger, and seeing that Chen Han's face was full of gloom, he said, "If you have the strength to think about me, you might as well go and find out what kind of details the An Ren who came back with his father is." Liuniang is our sister after all, if it is a fire kang, we can't just let her jump in like this. ”
Chen Han didn't think so, but when he saw Chen Xi's face, he finally nodded quickly.
It wasn't until he came out of the meditation hall that he slapped the mén box on the side, which startled the mother who came up. After a while, the mother said cautiously: "Fifth young master, the eldest son of Uncle Pingjiang sent a letter from there, saying that he invited you to go to Huguo Temple. ”
"Don't go!"
Chen Han was angry and refused in one bite, but when he saw the mother's sincere and frightened expression, he realized that today's father Chen Ying was going to Pingjiangbo's eldest son's invitation, and now this letter is only afraid that it is also his father's intention. Although his heart was full of injustice, he clenched his fists fiercely, and finally coldly left his words and asked the mother to inform the horses and servants to prepare, and he hurried back to the room to change his clothes.
However, when he followed the messenger to the Huguo Temple, he did not see his future brother-in-law at all, only his father sitting there drinking tea. When Chen Ying's first words came up, he was stunned for a moment.
"You're about to get married now, and you're not too young, and there are some things I have to warn you of. The murder case of the old lady in Liao Xiangyuan, I think you should know, I first came to the scene of such a thing, and someone was planning to calculate me. You are my son, your own mother changed from a concubine to a concubine because of other people's calculations, who is an enemy and who is a friend, you should know in your own heart, don't be wrong just because others are close to you! The old lady is going to divide the family now, hmph, if you want to divide it, you can divide it
