"We brother and sister haven't seen each other for many years. I wanted to visit her before, but I couldn't get away because of my busy schedule. Now that you are here, I can ask you to deliver some of Jingcheng's scenery to Anan for me. In hand."
The Anan mentioned by the Jingcheng prefect is naturally his sister-in-law, and the title of Anan must be his sister-in-law's nickname.
Chen Jinghuai didn't think much about it. He naturally agreed to the request from the Jingcheng Prefect.
After that, the Jingcheng prefect only exchanged a few words with Chen Jinghuai and then left.
And when the Jingcheng prefect left, Song Chuchu couldn't wait to sneak into the house.
This time Chen Jinghuai didn't resist her so much.
Song Chuchu said happily, "We have almost taken care of our injuries now. I even asked them for some medicine and other things. Let's go back now."
Chen Jinghuai nodded.
Then he tried to get up.
Song Chuchu quickly came over to help Chen Jinghuai.
When the two of them walked out of the gate of Huichun Hall, they felt a chill coming over them. The December sky was gray and misty, as if it was going to rain or snow at any time.
Fortunately, Chen Jinghuai had wrapped his clothes tightly when he was in the inner room, so it was not too cold now.
However, when they came out of the inner room, they attracted many onlookers along the way.
Chen Jinghuai felt a little strange. Seeing so many people, he couldn't help but look at one of them.
Not wanting their eyes to meet, the man walked directly towards Chen Jinghuai.
The man smiled and said, "You guys are out."
Chen Jinghuai didn't know the other person at all, so he felt baffled when he was greeted suddenly, but out of politeness, he nodded.
I just didn't expect him to nod, and the man said again, "A friend in need is a friend indeed. You, don't let them down, cherish them! How can the noble girls in this capital be as good as the girls here?" I know I feel sorry for people.”
Hearing this, Chen Jinghuai felt confused. Who is this person? When he came up, he preached to himself. Are they familiar with each other?
He looked at Song Chuchu doubtfully. However, Song Chuchu also shook her head at Chen Jinghuai with a confused look.
And after this person said this, more people were already watching. Although they did not rush towards him, the fact that they were gathered together in twos and threes gave Chen Jinghuai a bad feeling.
He took Song Chuchu's hand and wanted to run away.
Song Chuchu also didn't know the situation, so he only protected Chen Jinghuai. He said to the man, "Who are you? Do we know you? Why do you come here with your mouth open?"
The man was not angry when he saw Song Chuchu. He just laughed and said, "It's normal for the girl not to recognize me. We are the onlookers who just listened to Magistrate Luo's trial at the Yamen Gate! The girl is really kind and righteous! We all felt sad when we saw it. ! But although this young man is not a good person, his conscience is not bad. He still knows how to save you at a critical moment of life and death. I think there must be some misunderstanding between you two. You can talk about it. Maybe this matter will not be solved It’s done.”
Hearing someone praising herself, Song Chuchu felt happy. Then she heard that person say some specious words. Song Chuchu finally remembered the evil she had done at the Yamen Gate. In order to delay Magistrate Luo's time, she only opened her mouth to Chen Jinghuai. Come and mold him into a hard-hearted scumbag.
At this moment, the onlookers believed it to be true, and they were afraid that they would eat their melons on the spot.
Song Chuchu couldn't help but burst into laughter on the spot, holding her belly in her hands.
Chen Jinghuai naturally knew what was going on at the moment, and he had no intention of explaining, so he just dragged Song Chuchu away with a dark face.
The next day, it was just dawn. The group of them left Yecheng after bidding farewell to the prefect of Jingcheng.
After that, they hurriedly drove the carriage all the way and traveled for several days. Chen Jinghuai and his party entered Shangjing before the heavy snow fell.
Suddenly entering Shangjing from the desolate Yunzhou, although Song Chuchu had seen prosperity, the prosperity of modern cities should only be better than that of ancient times.
But when she actually stepped into Shangjing, Song Chuchu couldn't help but be shocked by the prosperity of Shangjing.
There are vast streets, well-planned markets, spacious streets, towering city walls, and crowds of people coming and going.
This brand new thing only makes
Song Chuchu opened the car curtain after entering the city and was reluctant to put it down.
Because Chen Jinghuai was injured, he had only been sitting in a carriage with her in the past few days. Fortunately, now that he was in the city, the wound was getting better day by day because of Song Chuchu's personal care.
Therefore, even if the cold and wet wind blows in from the capital city, it will not have much impact on him.
Chen Jinghuai just closed his eyes and rested his mind.
I don’t know how long it took after that, but the carriage soon drove into Wangliufang. Wangliufang was much deserted than other markets. However, the architectural style of the courtyard houses along this road only made Song Chuchu aware of the people who could live on this street. Most of them are either rich or noble.
Then the carriage moved forward for a while, and everyone saw two stone lions at the entrance of a courtyard. The large house with a plaque of the Chen family on the vermilion gate was open as if facing something.
And the carriage finally stopped at the gate of the compound.
"It's the third young master who's back!" A servant shouted happily.
This sound spread one after another, and naturally reached the ears of several sisters-in-law who had already received the news.
But they are elders and women. Therefore, although they knew that the third child was back and they were happy in their hearts, they did not go out directly at the moment.
On the contrary, after Chen Yannian heard that her third brother was back, she didn't care about her image as a lady. She just lifted up her skirt and hurried out of the house.
When the two sisters-in-law wanted to ask her to be more polite, Chen Changnian had already disappeared.
Here, Chen Jinghuai had just got off the carriage. He only ordered the servants who had been waiting at the door early to move the New Year's goods he brought back from Yunzhou back to the mansion.
And while he was directing, Chen Yannian crashed into the arms of his third brother with a bang like a string of small firecrackers.
She happily said "Third brother!"
Chen Jinghuai was naturally very happy to see Chen Changnian, and the two of them just hugged each other tightly.
Song Chuchu originally seemed very happy that she followed Chen Jinghuai to the Chen family's old residence in the capital.
Isn’t this a proper meeting with parents?
She had to behave well in front of his family.
But she had just had such a thought, and the next second she saw a girl who was the same age as her and looked more beautiful, hugging the person she liked tightly.
The most important thing was that Chen Jinghuai, who never spoke hypocritically to him and kept saying there were differences between men and women, actually not only did not push the girl away at this moment, but he only hugged the girl tighter.
Seeing this scene, can Song Chuchu bear it?
Although she knew that this girl was Chen Jinghuai's sister, she was still unhappy, and she only coughed loudly.
Chen Changnian, who was overjoyed, finally saw Song Chuchu. .
For some reason, Chen Changnian should have been happy to see his brother bring a girl back.
But seeing the hostile look on her face, she subconsciously had no good impression of this girl.
But since it was her brother who brought him back, she couldn't say much.
Song Chuchu also wanted to announce her position as the rightful master, so she only pulled Chen Jinghuai's sleeve very artificially. She did not call Chen Jinghuai the captain of the school. She only imitated the eunuch and said affectionately, "A Jing, Who is she?"
As soon as he saw Song Chuchu's pretentious look, Chen Changnian became even more unhappy.
"I'm his sister! But I've never met you before. Did you go to the wrong door?" Chen Changnian was naturally not easy to offend, so she immediately choked Song Chuchu.
"I'm his wife. It's normal that you haven't met her. After all, you're not in Yunzhou, so of course you don't know about your brother. I used to accompany your brother in Yunzhou every day, so I didn't know that you still have a sister-in-law. Yeah." Song Chuchu also felt that this sister-in-law was not easy to get along with. She was also a person who was determined to retaliate. Now when the sister-in-law choked her, she would naturally not be polite.
Song Chuchu's words were obviously more irritating. Chen Changnian was already furious because several of her brothers had slipped her away from Yunzhou and returned to Shangjing in recent years, and they had been dating her husband every day.
Now, although she said it unintentionally, from Chen Changnian's point of view, she was mocking himself, so the feud between the two ended.
Chen Changnian has always been fond of picking
Talkative and stupid. At this moment, being slandered by Song Chuchu, she just snorted angrily.
And Chen Jinghuai obviously didn't want the two of them to get into trouble as soon as they came in. He just said to the two of them, "Okay, just stop talking and let's go back to the house!"
Although Chen Changnian was not very afraid of her third brother, she had a good relationship with Chen Jinghuai. Therefore, although she did not like the new sister-in-law at the moment, she still nodded, "The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are waiting for you in the house."
Chen Jinghuai just nodded when he heard this, and then the group of people also walked around the front hall and walked into the main hall of Chen Mansion.
The hall was burning with silver charcoal, and there was no smoke at all, but the room was as warm as spring.
There were only two women who looked like beautiful women sitting on the carved huanghuali wood chairs.
The woman on the left seat is wearing a lotus-colored brocade jacket and an azure horse-faced skirt. She has light makeup and not many hairpins, but she looks like the head of the Jiqing family. She only has a bunch of hairpins in her hand. Beeswax prayer beads string.
The woman on the right side of the table looks a bit richer in both clothing and makeup. She has a phoenix bun on her head and only has a six-stranded phoenix hairpin strung with pearls and gems. Although she is smiling , but those Danfeng eyes were full of shrewdness and sophistication.
"The third brother is finally back. My sister-in-law was worried yesterday that there was going to be a heavy snowstorm in the near future. If the third brother doesn't come back, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back. I said, how could someone with such a plan like the third brother be so scheming? Apart from that, now that he is back, are you relieved?" The second sister-in-law only said to the elder sister-in-law.
The sister-in-law only smiled slightly when she heard this and said, "It will be good when you come back."
Chen Jinghuai was obviously still far away from his two sisters-in-law, and he only bowed to his two sisters-in-law.
