The 378th palm beauty scheming, the righteousness of the sister

Gotta -

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the streets, but few of them glanced at the people passing by as the pedestrians gave way to the central lane. There are many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, and the long street has become one of the scenery, and people who see too much have long been tired of seeing it. It's just that when this group of freshly clothed angry horses saw the proud people passing, there was a burst of crying and scolding in front of them, and at this time, some people began to talk about it.

"Who didn't have long eyes to provoke the nobles?"

"God knows...... There is always such a thing every three or five days, and now the world is good, I just hope that this time the son is good-natured, the last time Shuntianfu finally straightened up his waist and buckled a person, but in an instant, a post in the Guogong Mansion passed, and the person was immediately released, only to pity the child, and the family only got twenty taels of silver. ”

"Twenty taels is good, in the past few years, there were people running horses on the streets, and three of them were killed at once, but as a result, they went around and thoroughly investigated for a long time, just because they were from the Queen Mother's mother's family, and in the end, it was not done, alas"

When the small vendors and pedestrians around were talking, Chen Yan, who was pulling the reins, sat on the horse but did not move. He went out of the house every day to attend martial arts classes, and also inspected various industrial shops in the house, plus visiting friends, etc., it was not the first day he went out, but it was the first time he encountered this situation in the case of hugging the front and back. Looking at the woman who was curled up in a mass and moaning, and then glanced at the two strong men with obscene faces on the side of the road, he frowned suddenly.

"What's going on, when you see someone coming, you still push her to her head in front of my horse's hooves? What if someone dies...... Someone came, tied up these two guys, and immediately sent them to Shuntianfu, saying that they were murdering people in broad daylight."

The two big men were still playing Xiao Jiujiu at first, but when they heard Chen Yan say this, they were already a little stunned, and at this moment, when they saw a few young people dismount without saying a word, they were about to step forward to get someone, and they couldn't help but hurriedly pull their legs and run. didn't run a few steps, saw that they had fallen into the encirclement, and one of them shouted: "Childe, it was she who owed our owner a hundred taels of silver, but she had to run away from the debt, the younger two chased all the way, I didn't see you bring someone over, the little one is definitely not hearted"

While speaking, Chu Ping had already stepped forward with a few companions, and the two of them twisted people one by one. Chen Yan, who was on the horse, saw that the two men struggled twice to no avail, so he had to hang his head and be put up, and couldn't help but look down at the woman who fell to the ground again. At this time, she just raised her head, her face was pitiful with pear blossoms and rain, and she looked at about fifteen or sixteen, and she was born very charming. Seeing him struggling to get up and raise his head as if to say something, he immediately waved his hand.

"You don't need to say these words to me" Seeing that many people around him were probing their heads to watch, Chen Yan casually threw a silver ingot to Chu Ping, and said, "Send the two of them to Shuntianfu first, as for whether to sentence one to recover debts and hurt people, or something else, it is up to Shuntianfu." Take this money and send this girl to the infirmary, I think it is just some flesh wounds, these should be enough. When I have done this, I will come back at once, and I have something to tell you. ”

After saying this, he turned his head to look at the rest of the entourage behind him and said, "Let's go, go to the mansion of the eldest princess of Anguo."

The young woman was about to say something, but she saw Chen Yan not looking at her, she took a few steps back and walked around the side, and then waved a horsewhip in the air, taking advantage of the fact that others gave way one after another, and walked away at such a gallop. Not only that, but the crowd of onlookers suddenly talked about it for a while, but this time, most of them shook their heads and sighed that they were lucky today, and they were such a kind son, who not only lost the money for the medicine, but also relieved the distress and so on. And the woman who was the person concerned stared blankly at the group of people who could no longer see their backs, and they didn't even notice that Chu Ping invited a woman next to her to help her.

Being delayed like this, when Chen Yan arrived at the Mansion of the Eldest Princess of Anguo, it was already a quarter of an hour later. Because the county lord of Yixing made the eldest princess, he naturally couldn't continue to live in the Korean Mansion with Zhang Quan as before, so he chose one of the mansions located in Tieshi Hutong as a mansion among several mansions. At this time, the people at the door saw Chen Yan coming in, saluting and greeting, greeting and leading the horse, as if they were treating their own family.

Chen Yan has always been kind to his subordinates, so naturally he also walked all the way to greet him, and when he entered the main house, a quarter of an hour had passed since he entered the gate. As soon as the eldest princess of An Guo saw him, she beckoned someone to come over, and when she saw him bending down one leg and saluting, she flicked her finger on his head angrily.

"You, it's just a good popularity, your sister Huixin came back, and no one under her has ever been so attentive, but you have to spend so much effort to enter the door. It's no wonder that everyone up and down says good things about you, you kid" Seeing Chen Yan smile, he didn't argue, and the eldest princess of Anguo pointed to the little pestle next to her and asked him to sit down next to him, and then said, "Your sister taught you very well, and I don't have anything to find fault with those people who are sophisticated." There is only one thing you have to remember, your identity is different now, and there are a lot of people who covet it, and your marriage contract with Miss Du is extremely important, you have to count it yourself. In this world, there are not only people like me and your sister who like to use their brains, but also some beauties who like to play tricks. ”

"Yes, master, don't worry" Chen Yan nodded confidently, and then showed a sly smile, "Sister Zheng'er, I won't lose her, as for the beauty...... Is there anyone more beautiful than you and my sister? ”

"Your mouth is really getting sweeter and sweeter, just say that your sister is a beauty, what are you doing with me?" The eldest princess of Anguo flicked Chen Yan's head again, but she smiled, "It's good that you can have this idea, there is no chance to discipline those who want to climb high branches." Okay, let's get down to business, your sister's letter has already arrived, and you think you've received it too, haven't you? ”

As soon as Yan thought of the content of the letter, he couldn't help but look a little unsightly, "In the letter, my sister only cares about my literary and martial arts classes, the old lady's body, and even the miscellaneous contents of the sisters in the third room, but I didn't say a word on the side." At the end of the day, she still treats me like a child, and she doesn't let me know about such a big thing. ”

"She won't let you know, don't you know?"

The eldest princess of Anguo smiled slightly, and saw Chen Yan tilt her head and think about it, and then immediately showed an expression of sudden realization, and then she said slowly: "It's impossible for you not to know such a big thing, as for the letter, it was handed over to you, but can you still hide it from your old lady and not show it?" Let her see this, naturally feel that your sister is confident, and the old man can worry less, as for you, since you want to consult with me, what does your sister say, do you still know? ”

"I see."

Chen Yan scratched his head embarrassedly, and saw that the eldest princess of An Guo took out a letter from under the pillow of the soft couch and handed it over, he quickly reached out and took it, and when he took out the letterhead and read it at a glance, he couldn't help but smash it heavily on the edge of the soft couch.

"These damn guys know that it's not a good thing...... Brother-in-law is really, quietly disappeared, I heard that now the impeachment and recital of the General Administration Department are piled up like a small mountain, and His Royal Highness King Jing doesn't know where to go" Speaking of this, Chen Yan grabbed the letterhead and said, "What my sister means in the letter is that we just prevent someone from making waves in Beijing, but can we only be beaten?" ”

"Where was he beaten, didn't the emperor be exempted from the court again due to illness? A large number of recitals have been pressed on the cabinet and have not been criticized, especially those vigorous recitals. Speaking of which, this is really a good time to pick, the emperor is not in good health, my bulky appearance, and I am also sleepy all day, Du Ge Lao is busy with the military affairs of the slave at the end of the Dusi, and Xiao Zhang Ge Lao is preparing for Jingcha...... In this way, the person in charge of this matter is the first assistant Song Ge is old. Although he hasn't been back to Jiangnan for many years, he is a Jiangnan person, so it's just right to do this. Don't worry, do more wrong at this time, you might as well follow your sister's words and stare more at King Jin. ”

"Don't mention it" As soon as the King of Jin was mentioned, Chen Yan was angry, "People are in the Imperial Mausoleum, but they send letters back to the princess twice in three days, either for this or that, listening to the message, although the girl in the family did not accompany him, but someone sent him two women there to go back and forth between the Imperial Tomb and the Jin Palace, and the people who went back and forth between the Imperial Tomb and the Jin Palace, this swaggering appearance is really annoying."

"Don't complain, it's your cousin-in-law anyway"

The eldest princess of Anguo patted Chen Yan's shoulder affectionately, motioned for someone to sit up straight, and then leaned closer and whispered in his ear: "Don't think that no one knows what you did to him last time, don't say it in the palace, even I know the clues, let King Jin know, if you want to skin your mind alive, be careful in the future, don't be so rash." If you want to pay attention, pay more attention to the old mansion of Song Ge, as well as the people he saw when he was on duty, as well as his protégés, he is from Jiangnan after all. By the way, the hibiscus paste you mentioned earlier is sent in a certain amount from overseas every year, and the effect of treating headaches and brain fever has always been good, but it is true that you should be cautious when using it, I have already mentioned it to the emperor, and I also reminded Grandpa Xia ......"

stayed in the mansion of the eldest princess of Anguo for an afternoon, and it was not until late afternoon that Chen Yan returned home. Although he had already bathed and changed his clothes, compared to when he went, his spirit was discounted, and it was clearly a good practice. And when he arrived at Liao Xiangyuan, Zhu looked at Chen Yan grinning and applying ointment in front of him, and he was even more distressed.

Only Chen Yan quickly showed a smile that didn't care, and Zhu knew that this was inevitable, so he could only skip this topic. And Chen Yan refused to let his grandmother think more, and just downplayed the biggest thing in the world, and the grandparents gradually only gossiped. It wasn't until Zhu coldly mentioned the disappearance of the North Korean envoy that Chen Yan's eyes widened suddenly.

"The envoy is missing...... Isn't that even Xiangyang Bo ......"

"The fate of the five girls is not good." Zhu frowned slightly, and then said lightly, "Although your sister has put a lot of effort into her affairs, her own mother fell out with the third child for this, but I didn't expect such a result in the end." ”

The life of the five girls is not good

If it was Chen Yan in the past, he would have heard this, but after dinner, he came out of Liao Xiangyuan, pondering this, but what he thought was wrong. Before leaving, my sister not only asked him to take care of the old lady, but also asked him to take care of all the brothers and sisters in the family, so as not to let other families look down on him, not to mention that this letter mentioned this again. Thinking of this, as soon as he got out of the hospital, he instinctively wanted to go in the direction of Qingxi Residence, but after only taking a few steps, he stopped hesitantly. Just as he was undecided, he suddenly heard a clear voice behind him.

"Fourth brother."

Chen Yan turned his head to see that it was Chen Ting, and immediately laughed, stepped forward and bent down and pinched his cheek affectionately, and then said, "Xiaoliu is finally back?" While saying that, he took Chen Ting's hand, looked up at Mother Wu, who hurriedly ran forward, and said, "The sixth brother has been living in Huguo Temple for a few days, is it okay?" ”

"Well, the top and bottom should be taken care of, and the lower ones should be cautious." Mother Wu bent her knees, and then said with a smile, "Didn't the fourth young master find out, although it is a vegetarian dish every day, the sixth young master has gained a lot of weight." Just now, the sixth young master told me that if I want to go out often in the future, I can't cope with it. ”

"Really?" Chen Yan's eyes widened, he lowered his head and looked at Chen Ting again, and saw that he had pinched his little head like a chicken pecking rice, so he pinched the tip of his nose as if jokingly, "It's not easy to get out?" When I'm free, I can go wherever you want. It's just that it's not going to work these days, so you have to listen to the old lady, and don't make any messy requests to Mother Wu. ”

"Ah, thank you, Fourth Brother"

With such a promise, Chen Ting was so happy that he jumped three feet high, and he refused to let go of Chen Yan's hand. At this time, Wu's mother thanked her repeatedly, and said that she would take Chen Ting back to his wife's former house to find some things. Mother Wu didn't want to take the little Chen Ting to see Aunt Luo just like that, so she was naturally grateful at the moment. At this time, Chen Ting looked at Mother Wu, who was smiling, and then at the fourth brother, who was also smiling, and his little face was full of confusion.

Although it is still nominally the main house in the backyard, the scenery of the Qingxi House seems to have passed. Last year, when the three rooms moved here, the people in the center of the house even came here on an errand for a long time, but now with the release of the male owner to Suzhou, this place is inevitably deserted. What's more, Qingxi Residence has now changed the director of Aunt Luo, who is even more difficult to fool than Mrs. Xu, so it was easy to sharpen his head and get in that day, and now he is racking his brains to get out.

At this moment, when she heard that Chen Yan was coming with Chen Ting, Aunt Luo, who was assigning things in the east wing, couldn't help frowning. The news that came in the afternoon was enough to make her anxious, and she had to think in certain directions when someone suddenly came. It's just that the old lady has passed down the order since Chen Ying left, and now she almost can't find out about Liao Xiangyuan, so she groaned and groaned, and when she was about to get up, someone suddenly reached out and pressed on her arm.

"Auntie, I'll go. It's not right for you to go to see them, and it's even worse for them to come to see you. ”

"Xi'er."

Chen Xi nodded at Aunt Luo, and then got up and walked out. Out of the house, she looked up at the starry sky, and the corner of her mouth showed a smile that was colder than the starry sky, and then slowly walked towards the courtyard door. Seeing Chen Yan holding Chen Ting, the brothers looked extremely harmonious, she couldn't help but think of her two brothers who had moved to the outer courtyard, and her good-looking eyelashes were picked for a while, and then she greeted them.

"Fifth sister."

Chen Yan and Chen Ting saluted at the same time, and after Chen Xi returned the salute, when she saw Wu's mother come up and curtsied to say hello, and said that she was going to the main house to find something, she nodded, and then led the way in front. When they arrived at the main room, several little girls and Chen Xi's girls stayed in the courtyard, Chen Xi saw that Wu's mother took Chen Ting into the West House, and Chen Yan stayed in the bright room.

"Fourth brother has something to say to me?"

"Ah, it's not ......" Chen Yan was a little embarrassed by this straightforward question, and organized it in his heart, and then coughed, "Fifth sister, don't just listen to those messy rumors outside, things are not accurate, it may not be really so bad, after all, it is not a two-ship ship, how can you say no, no." 10,000 steps back is true...... There is no one else in the Xiangyang Bo family, so you ......"

"If he really dies, I'll twist my hair and go to the nunnery or the Taoist temple."

Chen Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and he blurted out: "How can this work?"

Chen Xi looked at Chen Yan with a serious face, and the corners of his mouth that were originally gently raised quickly returned to their original state: "Fourth brother, thank you for your concern." The marriage letter has been issued, and this matter is supported by the concubine, not a question of whether others care. My father is still there, and I can't just keep bothering my mother. I know that the third sister has contributed a lot to this matter, and she is overwhelmed by this at the moment, so don't worry about this matter anymore. Besides, the capital is not without famous daughters. ”

"But ......" Chen Yan saw Chen Xi's calm face, and couldn't help but stomp on him as if iron was not steel, "Fifth sister, aren't you just afraid that the third uncle will find you something inconsequential?" ”

"That's right, I'm afraid" Chen Xi took a deep breath, and then said word by word, "He is in Suzhou, and the news is not so fast, so I have to get ahead of him." As long as the old lady agrees, it will be too late for my father to object, and only then, maybe I can get away with waiting for him to come back...... If the fourth brother really wants to help me, I would like to ask for one thing. ”

Chen Yan only felt sullen at this time, and muttered softly without raising his head when he heard this: "What's the matter?" ”

"Liuniang and Baniang Jiuniang have not yet been on the genealogy, and they have not taken a big name, can you report to the old lady and do this as soon as possible?" Chen Xi saw Chen Yan raise her head suddenly, and then frowned, she couldn't help but want to explain one or two more, but unexpectedly Chen Yan rubbed her chin and said, "Sister also mentioned this stubble in the letter sent by me yesterday, why do you and your sister still have time to think about these things at this juncture?" The old lady already knows about this, and I will go back and persuade it again. ”

Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't explain the reason, but suddenly reached out and rubbed Chen Yan's head. At this time, it was Wu's mother who pulled Chen Ting out, and when she saw the sister and brother in the next room here, Chen Ting immediately jumped forward, but Wu's mother was stunned, and was stunned for a moment before she came up and said that everything was packed. Chen Yan saw that Chen Xi moved his hand, and he only felt very depressed staying in this room, so he didn't say much at the moment, nodded and quit Chen Xi and went out.

Mother Wu was just in the house, and she vaguely heard a few words, walking on the road, she couldn't help but ask cautiously and softly. Chen Yan skipped Chen Xi's desire to become a monk, and only said about Liuniang, Baniang and Jiuniang, Wu's mother's face suddenly froze, and then she said curtly: "In the past, Mrs. was also because the master was not there, so she never completed this matter. After all, it's a young lady, and it's really not good to not go to the family tree all the time, and besides, if you want to marry in the future, Miss Five's proposal is really thoughtful. ”

Do you want to get married in the future?

Chen Yan's eyes narrowed suddenly, and soon a smile appeared on his face. It's just that he dragged Chen Ting to Liao Xiangyuan slowly, but he admired the fifth sister in his heart. With the personality of the third uncle, a few concubines, not so much a marriage, but a sale of daughters, it is possible to do anything with them at that time, and now that the family tree is on, the old lady immediately chose a few similar marriages and allowed them, so as not to make any moths to the third uncle, so that it is good for them, for the old lady and the Yangning Marquis Mansion.

"Fifth sister is really ...... It's really like ...... sister."

Talking about the old lady is effortless for Chen Yan at the moment, after all, Chen Lan's letter originally mentioned this stubble, and he knew the benefits, so Zhu easily agreed. Only the Zhu family was a little unhappy about the marriage contract, and said casually with a wave of his hand: "Now is the time for them to mourn their mother, and it is not appropriate to discuss marriage at this time." You can rest assured, but if you use the family tree, your third uncle can't treat them as cats and dogs and give them away casually, losing the face of our Hou Mansion, and if you want to promise people to a fool like before, it will not be too late to wait until the mourning period is over, and then find someone. ”

Only then did Chen Yan realize that he had missed the most important thing, and hurriedly responded to it, but the Zhu family had to beat him again. Seeing that the old lady was nagging, he was about to change the topic and laugh, when the news came in from outside, saying that it was Chen Yan's personal companion When Chu Ping came back, he had something to report. The Zhu family didn't care about themselves, and quickly let Chen Yan out.

Hurried to the outer study, and saw that Chu Ping was turning around in circles at the door, Chen Yan opened his mouth and called out, and walked two steps quickly. Seeing that the person ran down as soon as he slipped away, and was about to kneel down and kowtow, he shouted angrily: "If you have something to say, don't be a kowtow worm"

Chu Ping straightened up at this time, but he refused to say it immediately, but pointed to the study. It wasn't until Chen Yan entered the house and closed the door that he stepped forward quickly, and whispered next to Chen Yan: "Fourth Young Master, the girl we met today turned out to be an ordinary debt that has not been repaid. ”

"Even if it's a loan shark, it's none of my business, there are many injustices in the world, and I can't just run into it."

"No, no, no." Chu Ping took a deep breath, and immediately lowered his voice and said, "Those two big men confessed when they arrived at Shuntian Mansion, saying that today's trip was to receive money from others, as long as they saw you coming, they would casually push people under your horse, and if they died, they would double the money." They should have slipped away immediately, because they didn't know you, and they were greedy for a while, and they planned to extort a few more taels of silver, so they were caught by us. The magistrate who presided over the trial in Shuntianfu was shocked and angry, and had already taken the person down for careful interrogation, but the girl was an orphan girl who had just lost her father nearby, and she didn't know anything. ”
