"Your Excellency is Chen Yin's son?" the scholar stood still behind Chanyu, no longer moving forward, and asked slowly.

"Exactly," Chen Yin felt that the other party didn't seem to have malicious intent, so he got up and returned the salute, and Chanyu didn't continue to gather his strength, "Your Excellency followed us all the way, what's the matter?"

The scholar suddenly looked embarrassed, and said in a slurred voice: "There is no malice in the bottom, it is really because my sister is here to wait for you." ”

"Your sister?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, my surname is Qi, my name is Yingwen, and my sister is Qi Yingli. ”

Chen Yin's body seemed to have been electrified, and his heart became high-pitched, but Chanyu asked suspiciously, "How old are you this year?"

"Twenty is one. ”

Chanyu smiled: "Yingli fifteen, how can it be your sister?"

"Sister Yingli is the daughter of my second uncle, although she is younger than me, her seniority is higher than mine. ”

"Where is Yingli?" Chen Yin couldn't care so much, and couldn't wait to ask.

"I was caught by my mother and returned home," the scholar sat down next to Chen Yin and continued, "My sister took advantage of the fact that she was in Xia Shangjing, and instructed her to look for Chen Gongzi here, and she had been waiting here for two days, and she thought that she couldn't meet her son, but today I heard Gongzi on the street inquiring about my sister's whereabouts, but I couldn't eat it, so I followed this way." ”

Hearing that Yingli was safe, Chen Yin was also relieved.

Seeing that the two of them were in a relaxed mood, the scholar continued: "My sister asked Chen Gongzi to save her quickly......"

"Help, isn't she going home?" Chen Yin's heart tightened again.

The scholar said: "Speaking of laughter, the eldest uncle and the second uncle held a martial arts competition for their sister to recruit relatives, the object is the imperial relatives of the Central Plains, the sister has a stubborn temper, and she will not obey death, and the uncle has always been strong, and it is difficult to change the decision. ”

"What is a martial arts competition?" Chen Yin had never heard of this word.

"It's a group of people who compete, and then the winner will marry Yingli. After Chanyu finished explaining, she looked at Chen Yin, she was in a complicated mood at the moment, and she wanted to know how Chen Yin would react.

"Where?" Chen Yin immediately asked, his emotions fluctuating significantly.

"Qijiazhuang in Huadu City. ”

Chen Yin turned his head to look at Chanyu and said, "Then let's leave immediately!"

"Hmm. Although Chanyu responded immediately, a trace of inexplicable loss flashed in her heart.

"In the next word, I am going to the capital to do something, but remind the two of you, Qijiazhuang is not an ordinary manor, this time there are also masters of the Central Plains royal family, the sister is willful, but the two of them think twice about everything, if they can take the sister away, it is very good, if not, they will do it themselves. ”

"Can you find Huadu City?" Chanyu asked after the scholar left.

"I haven't heard of it, I thought you knew ......"

"I don......'t know," Chanyu said truthfully, "there doesn't seem to be such a city in the Central Plains." ”

Chen Yin hurriedly got up and prepared to catch up with Qi Yingwen, but suddenly heard a giggle from the railing on the second floor, and Granny Yu and Yi Ying jumped down and fell beside the two.

"Still an amorous boy, there is a girl, and you are thinking about another?"

As soon as Chanyu heard Granny Yu's words, her cheeks suddenly turned crimson, and Chen Yin also understood it, so she didn't know what to do, so she had to change the topic hard: "Mother-in-law...... Does Yu'er know where Huadu City is?"

"Xilin Shuguo, I have been there for a few years," Granny Yu said to herself, "Huadu Qi's family...... The girl's family background you are looking for is not simple. ”

"Did you hear it all?"

"You only noticed that the man was following you all the way, and you really didn't realize that we were following you from the time you left the inn," Granny Yu shook her head, "You really want to go?"

"Since the senior sister has asked someone to report the letter, how can the younger generation sit idly by?"

"What about this girl?" Granny Yu asked Xiang Chanyu instead.

Chanyu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect to come to ask her, and said, "I'm with Brother Yin." ”

"Affectionate and hate......ful since ancient times," Granny Yu smiled helplessly, and changed her words, "Then don't delay, Huadu City is west of the Central Plains, and the other party is recruiting relatives in martial arts, if you go late, it's too late to regret it." ”

"Yingli. Qi Ran carried a pot of wine into the Yingli room, and when he saw that the food on the table had not moved, he opened the lid of the pot, and in an instant, the rich aroma of wine spread in the room.

Qi Yingli jumped up and said with a smile: "Fourth uncle!"

"During the time you went to the Central Plains, no one accompanied the fourth uncle to drink, but the fourth uncle was suffocated," he said, he poured two large bowls of wine, "Come on, our two uncles and nephews have a good drink, and then we will say that the fourth uncle has finished eating." ”

Yingli jumped off the bench excitedly, jumped to the table in a few steps, but suddenly stopped, pursed her mouth, and said, "No, I swore that I would not drink alcohol." ”

"Oh?" Qi Ran laughed, took a sip of wine, and put a handful of vegetables in his mouth, "What's the matter that allows our eldest lady Qi not to get drunk?"

Yingli sat down with an unhappy face, and naturally ate with her: "It's nothing." ”

"Let the fourth uncle guess, is it related to the guy who was rewarded with you?"

Yingli didn't speak, she hadn't eaten for two days, she was already so hungry that her chest was close to her back, and she didn't continue acting in front of the fourth uncle at the moment, and sent it to her mouth one after another.

"You like him. Qi Ran didn't look at her after speaking, and took a sip of wine with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Yingli was stunned for a moment, and immediately said loudly: "How can I like him! Like a fool, he doesn't listen to me!"

Fourth Uncle Qi smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle is a person who has come over, how can you fool me with your little belly and chicken intestines, and you can be rewarded by the imperial court and you are also a character, but I am afraid that there are some problems with your character." ”

He grew up in the mountains, and he was honest. ”

"People in the mountains, that family must be very poor, and the door is not the right one. Qi Ran couldn't help laughing and drank all the bowls of wine.

Yingli got angry, slapped the chopsticks on the table and refuted sharply: "How can the fourth uncle be so snobbish now, others are not poor, and what about being rich, this girl does not lack anything." ”

"Uh-huh, what I said was, what I said was, it was the fourth uncle who was wrong," Qi Ran said with a smile, "Come and continue eating." ”

Seeing Yingli pick up the chopsticks again, Qi Ran's mood gradually retracted, and his expression became serious: "Yingzi, the fourth uncle asks you something, you have to answer truthfully, how much do you like that kid?"

Ying Li knew that the fourth uncle was asking her seriously this time, so she stopped being sloppy, looked at the fourth uncle seriously, and said: "I don't know, but when I think of him, I am happy, and I always want to stay by his side all the time." ”

Qi Ran stared at her eyes, Yingli didn't dodge and looked straight back, and after a while, Qi Ran smiled and sighed: " The fourth uncle once also liked a Central Plains woman, we often leaned on the stream from sunrise to sunset to drink, but at that time your grandfather asked me to marry an official's daughter as a wife, and this Central Plains woman because of mediocre net worth can only be a concubine, at that time I obeyed your grandfather's arrangement, this Central Plains woman is stubborn by nature, she is unwilling to be a concubine, I committed suicide in the river the night before I married the official's daughter, it was the most difficult night in my life, the next day I divorced, and vowed not to marry in this life, now there are more than ten years, but still can not let go, every time I drink, I will remember all kinds of things at that time, vividly... In this world, even if you have profound knowledge or endless wealth, you can't resist the unwillingness and frustration brought by remorse, Yingzi, remember the words of the fourth uncle, don't let yourself down. ”

Yingli nodded slowly, and saw that the fourth uncle's eyes were a little ruddy, so she deliberately raised her voice and said with a smile: "Yes! The fourth uncle is right! Don't let yourself down! Yingzi wrote it down!"

Qi Ran raised his head and asked, "By the way, does this kid know your current situation?"

"Isn't the third brother going to the capital to do errands, I asked him to go to Luogu Town to find him. ”

"How did you know he was in Falling Valley?"

"I just know," Qi Yingli smiled heartily: "Because he's stupid, if I don't see him there, he will definitely go to that place and look for me." ”

"How can you be sure that he will come? There are young masters of the Central Plains Imperial Court everywhere, does he dare?"

"The fourth uncle will know when he arrives. Yingli replied confidently.

Qi Ran nodded, and asked again: "What about after that, even if he comes to Huadu City, what can he do?"

"Let's take one step at a time, that's how we came all the way in the Central Plains, we didn't have any plans, we thought about everything while doing it," Yingli said, "In the end, it's not that we have survived until now." ”

"Well, everyone's tacit understanding is different, the fourth uncle can't help you much now, tomorrow, a group of royal relatives and nobles who participate in the competition will come to Huadu City first, at most two days, and the rest of the people will also come, you had better listen to your uncle's words as much as possible these days, if you can let him relax his vigilance, it will be useful at that time." ”

Yingli poured Qi Ran full of wine with a smile and replied, "I know, thank you for the reminder." ”
