When Chu Nan returned to Chu Mansion, it was already dark. Back in his own courtyard, Chu Nan sat there smirking, and Yangmei sat quietly under the lamp reading a book, looking really a harmonious home scene.

Yang Mei looked at Chu Nan and had no intention of speaking, and she couldn't sink down to read a book, she looked at Chu Nan and asked, "I see you've been laughing, but what happy things have happened?" ”

Chu Nan waved his hand and said casually: "Well, I went to see a friend I haven't seen for many years." ”

Yangmei's eyes flickered, and she pretended not to care: "Oh, is it?

Chu Nan came back to his senses at this time, squeaked and whined for a long time, looked at Yangmei's face, and said with a dry smile: "Eh, this, yes, a friend I met outside back then." ”

After Yang Mei was woken up by Yang Shouye, she was a little less cold than before, seeing that Chu Nan was reluctant to say more, although she was dissatisfied in her heart, she didn't ask any questions, and diverted the topic: "Today, there are rumors inside and outside the capital that a master-level master came to Beijing, and was shocked by the father-in-law in the palace, His Majesty ordered the capital to be strictly guarded inside and outside, and the city gate was closed early, and the family is still worried that you can't enter the city." ”

Chu Nan naturally couldn't say that he and his girlfriend were high and high, and they came in through the city wall. Thinking about it, he still said half-truthfully: "My friend has some background, and besides, we returned to Beijing early and didn't encounter any trouble." ”

Yang Mei vaguely heard Chu Nan's words insincerely, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have a good relationship with that friend, so you might as well invite you to your home, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

Chu Nan said yes in a loud voice, thinking secretly in his heart, not to mention that you have a bit of sincerity in what you say, even if I really invite, people may not bother to come. Thinking about the high Fei Ying, Chu Nan couldn't help but touch his chest, although in the afternoon, he took advantage of Fei Ying's stunned words to get a little cheap, but the girl who reacted unceremoniously slapped her chest, and now her blood is still a little surging.

Chu Nan coughed twice, saw Linglong standing aside, remembered the slap that night, tried his best to make his voice softer, and said softly: "Linglong, come here, young master, I have something to tell you." ”

Linglong glanced at Chu Nan in surprise, and then looked at the young lady with a calm face, and then thanked for her courage, and said respectfully: "I don't know what Uncle Uncle's orders are?"

Chu Nan imitated the ancestor of the Chu family, wanting to be as kind as possible, and said, "Linglong, how long have you been in the Chu family?"

Linglong's body was shocked, and she said in a low voice: "If you will uncle, Linglong has been following Miss to the Chu family for a year and two months. ”

Yangmei pursed her lips, but didn't say anything. Most of the dowry girls like Linglong want to be concubines for Chu Nan or marry subordinates according to Chu Nan's arrangement, but the huge Chu family, who can talk to themselves is only Linglong, depending on Chu Nan's meaning, it is to make arrangements for Linglong. It's just that no matter what kind of result it is, it's not what Yangmei wants now, and of course, it's not something that Yangmei can stop.

Chu Nan glanced at Linglong in surprise, he really didn't expect that more than a year would pass in the blink of an eye, he sighed in his heart, and said, "Have you been here for so long? ”

Linglong saw that Chu Nanyue was polite, the more sad her heart became, and said astringently: "Uncle has won the award, it's all Linglong's business." ”

Chu Nan naturally regarded Linglong's sad appearance as an expression of his dissatisfaction, and he regretted it a little in his heart, he really shouldn't vent his resentment against Yangmei and Li Ling on a little girl, and confessed: "It's so Linglong, it's all my fault, I will never beat you again in the future." Well, if you have any requests, I will say yes to whatever I can. ”

Linglong bit her lip, slowly approached Yangmei's side, and said with a crying voice: "Linglong is arranged by Miss and Uncle, but she is really reluctant to leave Miss." ”

Chu Nan looked at the scene where the master and servant were speechless and choked, after all, it was not the product of the loli cultivation plan Chu Yue, nor was it Fei Ying, who was deeply influenced by herself, and she didn't understand what she was trying to express. Thinking that he was just concerned about Linglong, the master and servant looked like they were parting from life and death, which made Chu Nan think that he had committed some sin.

Yangmei plucked up her courage and said in a trembling voice: "Linglong is still young, so there is no need to be in such a hurry to marry someone." ”

Chu Nan was a little confused, and wondered, "When did I say that I was going to match Linglong out?"

Yang Mei bit her lip and sneered in her heart, yes, yes, how could a gentleman like him who is unlearned and unskilled let go of a delicate girl like Linglong. Thinking of this, Yang Mei couldn't help but feel a little depressed, most of the good feelings she had for Chu Nan had been reduced, and she couldn't treat Chu Nan as her husband after all.

Chu Nan saw the frost color on Yangmei's face, and the headache was even worse, and he patiently explained what he meant, seeing that the two of them looked a little slower, but they still hesitated, sighed helplessly, and spread his hands and said: "Don't think so badly of me, I really have no malice." ”

After speaking, Chu Nan felt a little interested, waved his hand casually, and ordered: "From this month onwards, Linglong's monthly money will be doubled, well, it's decided." If there's nothing else to do, just wash and sleep. ”

=============== dividing line, ah, dividing line================================,

The next day, Chu Nan got up early in the morning, yawned and washed up casually, and went to the hall for breakfast. Yangmei and Linglong's master and servant obviously didn't sleep well, Linglong didn't need to mention it, and the faint dark circles under her eyes had a hint of smoky makeup. Yangmei was also very unladylike and yawned a few times, looking at Chu Nan's strange eyes, she couldn't help blushing a little, and secretly complained in her heart about Chu Nan's heartlessness.

Linglong is much more diligent than in the past, Mali's serving vegetables and soup, and also gave Chu Nan chopsticks for the first time, although it is the fish that Chu Nan doesn't like, but Chu Nan still ate it with some trepidation, it seems that he is eating fast, and his throat was vaguely cut by fish bones, Chu Nan didn't care, he took a few gulps of porridge and rushed down.

Chu Nan laughed and said, "Hey, what's wrong today?

Linglong glanced at Chu Nan and said weakly: "In the past, it was said that Linglong didn't understand the rules and often offended her uncle, so she won't be in the future." ”

Chu Nan saw that when he talked about such a serious topic, he was also relieved to eat and chopsticks, took out the posture of the head of the family, and said, "Well, yes, this is a good boy." Young master, I usually do something wrong, and I will pay attention to it in the future. ”

After that, Chu Nan rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly, and said embarrassedly: "Of course, I am also a newcomer, and the big idea of the family in the future will still be taken by your young lady." ”

Seeing that Chu Nan said something interesting, Yang Mei burst out laughing, thinking in her heart that he was not a good husband, but he could be a confidant, but he was just ............

After eating breakfast quickly, Chu Nan took a towel to wipe his hands and ordered: "I heard that Chu Mad is back, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I won't come back at noon." ”

Yang Mei sighed, hurriedly stood up, and asked, "Then should I go to visit?"

Chu Nan shook his head and said with a smile: "Although it is not a secret that he came back this time, he will not make a big deal about it." You don't have to worry about it. ”

Chu Nan left the small courtyard and did not rush to the back house, but wandered around the mansion slowly, looking at the time before walking towards a small courtyard.

The small courtyard occupies a very light area, and there are no trees planted around it, but a huge locust tree can be faintly seen in the center of the courtyard. When I walked into the small courtyard, I found that this small courtyard was not ordinary. Chu Nan slowly entered this somewhat quaint courtyard, and the first thing that greeted him was not a maid, but a salivating earth dog and a group of squeaky geese. Chu Nan kicked away the earth dogs that were about to come over and get close, dodged those big geese with bad intentions, and jumped into the hall lightly.

In the room, a burly and sturdy man supported a middle-aged woman with a kind face, thinking that he had heard the movement and wanted to go out to have a look. Chu Nan hurriedly stopped and said with a smile: "I've seen my aunt." My aunt is not in good health, so let's sit down and rest. ”

The woman smiled and nodded, and said to Chu Nan: "Every time I eat fasting and recite Buddha, I always pray for the safety of your brothers and the Chu family.

Chu Nan was a little moved in his heart, rolled up his sleeves, shook his wrist, and said with a smile: "Auntie, look, you have always carried it with you." ”

The woman nodded with satisfaction, got up and said to the two: "You haven't seen each other for many years, how close and close you are, I won't hinder you from talking, old woman." With that, he waved his hand and went to the back hall under the protection of a little maid.

Chu Mad watched his mother slowly disappear and sighed softly.

Chu Nan also sighed in his heart, that woman is Chu Mad's biological mother, she was born in Qinglou in her early years, and she has been unpopular since she married into the Chu family, but she is very good, since she was born Chu Mad, she has devoted herself to eating fasting and chanting Buddha, or she is serving those poultry raised in the yard, but her health has been getting worse and worse in recent years, looking at that appearance, I don't know when she will pass away.

Chu Nan patted Chu Mad on the shoulder and comforted: "Good people have their own good rewards, after a while, I will ask someone to find some rare tonic herbs and send them, maybe I will be cured after some conditioning." ”

Chu snorted coldly, his mother was so sick, but almost no one in the Chu family came to visit, and as a son of man, he naturally felt a little resentful.

Chu Nan couldn't continue the topic, and said: "You should know everything you should know about returning to Beijing, and you don't have to stay at home." In this way, I invite you to go to Xinyue Tower for a walk, and I promise to make you satisfied. Let's go, what are you hesitating about, General. ”

Chu Mad stared at Chu Nan and said with a smile: "You invite first, Lord Prince." ”
