Chapter 447: Loyalty
Chen Yancheng is about to get married, and according to the rules of the Hou Mansion, he originally either picked a stable and honest girl by his side to open his face and accept the house, or the Zhu family chose a safe person from his side to send him over. However, now that the wedding date is approaching day by day, no one has mentioned this stubble from beginning to end. Although the death of the red eaves has not yet been revealed, except for those who have to care about this, most of the people below pay attention to it.
It's afternoon now, and the owners of each room take a nap as usual, and the girls can't steal a moment of leisure, either wandering around, or chattering in the ear room with the warm kang burning, and Cuiliuju is naturally the same. This used to be the residence of the upper and lower three rooms, but since the three-room family moved into the Qingxi Residence, the third lady Chen Lan got married, and this has become the residence of the fourth young master Chen Yan. More than a dozen girls, mothers-in-law, and mothers-in-law occupy this huge place, and how spacious they are.
At this time, Chen Yan will naturally not be at home, so a few girls can be regarded as a rare ">" of freedom in the Manhou Mansion. Zhu's preference for Chen Yan led to the dew drop rain and sandalwood around him, and although there were no more people, there were still six girls of all sizes. At present, the three big ones occupy this huge ear room, and they talk about the future young nn while roasting the fire.
"In the past few years, the young master has gone to Du Fuqin, and Du Lao is like that, the cliff bank is high, and those few little ones are still muttering nonsense and thinking about it every day, I think they are all dizzy." Dew took out the melon from the handkerchief and knocked it, spit out the skin and laughed, "The young master was trained by the third aunt, and he is both literary and martial, if it is really the house to accept people, the old lady has already picked them from her side and sent them, where is the turn to get them?" â
As soon as the words fell, NT Yu on the side quipped: "Yo, sister really doesn't want to?" â
"What do you think, I'm sixteen, in the future, when the young master is in his prime, I should be an old pearl yellow, and when the time comes, I will still be hated by the young man, why bother?"
Dew Drop pursed her mouth angrily, and tilted her head to look at NT Yu and Sandalwood: "What, you two want to be honored as an aunt in the future?" There are still several aunts in our Hou Mansion now, but except for the one with the name of Ãn, what is the difference between the others and the invisible person, and which one has a son? It's Aunt Luo, with those two words, even if she has a fate, she will be looked down upon for a lifetime, what does it mean! â
"Ouch, if I say one sentence to you, you will have ten more sentences at once! See that I don't tear your mouth, you little hoof, you are sixteen, I am seventeen, don't you say this to me? â
The two scuffled together while laughing, but Sandalwood on the side just sat there and was distracted, until the two scuffled to her, one took her as a shield to dodge back and forth, and the other was in a hurry, she coughed: "Look at the two of you making trouble, let them hear outside, isn't it a joke?" The old lady is in charge of the young master's affairs, and she has a bad mouth. â
"Oh, sandalwood, you're just steady, aren't you just joking." nt1un's head, returned to the original position and sat down, and arched her hand as if begging for mercy when she saw the dew drops coming, she said angrily, "Besides, the young master obviously doesn't mean that, how can I be amorous." With this affection, it is better to ask the young master for a grace and let me pick those men in the outer courtyard well! â
"So you're thinking like that!" Dew suddenly leaned back with a smile, "NV people pick men, this is a good idea!" â
The two of them laughed again, and Sandalwood sat and sat but suddenly stood up. Seeing the two of them looking at her in surprise, she smiled and said: "If it's cold today, the third master of the family is back, it's hard to guarantee that there is something to do, the young master may come back early, I'll go back to the room first to see if the tea and snacks are all ready." â
Without waiting for the two to speak, she turned and walked out of the house. As soon as the thick curtain fell, she heard the laughter of dewdrops coming from inside: "It's strange that the young master always thinks that I am unstable with you, among the three of us, only Sandalwood is a little like the third aunt, everything is thought out in advance, and everything is taken care of...... However, the young master didn't have that mind, but it's a pity......"
Listening to this, Sandalwood's face darkened. She hurried under the eaves into the main room, and as soon as she entered, she saw two little girls talking against the wall in the bright room, and when she saw her, she immediately stood up straight. She didn't bother to reprimand anything, waved her hand to signal them to go out, and entered the East House. Standing in front of the familiar bookshelf, she unconsciously took the dust that did not exist, and suddenly came back to her senses for a while, hurriedly dropped her things to look at the teapot in the purse, and saw that the water in it was completely cold, and she immediately turned around and walked out of the house. As soon as the girl went to the teahouse to ask for water, the people in the tearoom naturally did not dare to slack off, and a woman even asked diligently if she wanted to carry it herself, and Sandalwood quickly shook her head. Absentmindedly carrying the copper kettle back, when she passed a small door by the mezzanine, a hand suddenly reached out to pull her. She was stunned and was about to scold, but when she saw the person coming, she suddenly went in by surprise.
"What do you see me doing at this juncture?"
"That's the time to see you. What do you think, as soon as the third master came back, the old lady proposed to divide the family, and the red eaves died, what did the fourth young master feel in his heart, and would the old lady be sick again at that time? I am the person next to the fourth young master, so I naturally want to think about what he thinks and be anxious about what he is anxious about, do you still plan to let him return to the old days when he looked at people's faces all the time? â
"What else can I do? I'm just a girl, but I don't have that much ability! Sandalwood struggled to break free of the hand that was holding him, and said after a while, "The fourth young master is now both civil and military, and he is the master of the cultivation, and he will be Du Lao's dragon son-in-law in the future, where will he end up in the same situation as before?" â
"But what if the third master is really left in the capital by the emperor? The third young master is not unaware of it, he has been trained in the battlefield for many years, in contrast, the fourth young master is immature after all, as long as he is calculated, there may not be room to turn over. You are a loyal servant, and you don't want the Lord to get up easily, but you have fallen into the abyss, right? â
After saying this, the sandalwood face changed miserably, and after a long time, she looked at the person in front of her and said, "Is there anything you can do?" Even if I came out of the palace like that, I would die, what method can I use to help the fourth young master? â
"Absolutely! Listen to me......"
Ãn's voice suddenly became extremely low, Sandalwood was only skeptical at first, but gradually showed a solemn expression, and when she arrived, she almost clenched her fists, and the gaze of the man became extremely solemn: "You...... How did you come up with this method? If...... If it doesn't work, it won't affect the fourth young master......"
"The old lady's post has already gone out, don't you, the fourth young master's henchman, still know about it?" The one said step by step, "This separation is already an ironclad matter, and the old lady who invited her is naturally a person of noble status, and the important thing is that she can trust it!" poke things out in front of these people, how could the third master not provoke a s? He had just been proud of winning the battle, and if he wanted to lose his sacred heart because of this matter, wouldn't it be beneficial to the fourth young master? Besides, look at this ......"
"You make me think about it...... You let me think about it...... "Sandalwood is not decisive after all, at this time, her heart was in a mess, and she took a deep breath after saying two sentences in a row, "Anyway, I'll go back first, don't say this to others!" â
After saying this, she hurriedly spoke, glanced left and right at the people's hearts and walked towards Cuiliuju. Until she entered the shuttle hall, she stopped as if her legs were weak, and even a little girl came up to help politely, she didn't pay attention. It's just that the little girl who took the thing reached out to test the temperature, and suddenly raised her eyebrows and shouted.
"Sister, how did those people in the tea room do it, they actually poured such tepid water!"
"Huh?" Sandalwood remembered the moment when she was delayed halfway, her face suddenly became unnatural, and she smiled for a while, "It's okay, I met two people on the road who laughed at them, and it was delayed." You go to the pantry again, ask them to bring some hot water back, and take a look at the kitchen to get some snacks ready. â
The little girl immediately picked up the kettle and found a place to put it down, and then pulled out her feet and left. Sandalwood went back to the main room empty-handed, and saw that the dew and rain were still in the ear room, and the fire had not yet returned, so when she entered the east room, she sat on the soft couch and stepped on her feet.
I just heard those words replaying in my ears and eyes over and over again, and I don't know how long it took, a gust of wind suddenly came to her face, she hurriedly looked up, and saw Chen Yan who was sweating profusely, she stood up suddenly.
"I'm not here, you can't sit anywhere, why are you sitting on your feet?" Chen Yan casually took off the big piece outside, and when he saw Sandalwood reaching out to take it, he stretched out his waist again and said, "I'm really tired!" This luck is really bad, as soon as I entered the Ên, I met the third uncle back, and I ended up learning a few lessons. â
"Ah, the young master and the third master ......"
Seeing Sandalwood's pale face, Chen Yan only felt extremely funny: "Don't be nervous, can the third uncle still eat me?" That is, to put the elders on the shelf to warn and teach a lesson, the horizontal and vertical will be separated, and there will be few opportunities for him to manage me in the future. By the way, if you are free these days, hurry up and take someone to pack your things, so as not to be caught off guard by that time. â
"But young master, your wedding date is approaching, if you don't get married in this Hou Mansion, do you have to move out? The outer room and so on are not complete, isn't this to wronged Miss Du? â
"Du Lao won't care about that." Chen Yan remembered that this was Du Weifang's letter to himself, so he waved his hand nonchalantly, "Besides, the house is ready-made, I asked someone to repair and paint it a few days ago, and I can't be wronged by me and the old lady." â
Having said that, seeing that Chen Yan was tired when he washed his face, and then grinned with his arms and legs, Sandalwood bit her lip and finally made up her mind
