This was not a difficult question to answer. Chen Jinghuai simply said, "Of course I'm here to see you. I'll discuss with His Highness how to clear out the numerous bandits nearby."
Hearing what his third brother said, Chen Changnian couldn't help but vomited, "Third brother, what you said seems to be that the weeds on the roadside are too long and you need to cut them!"
But in the end, Chen Hongnian added, "Of course I still support you. These bandits are too rampant and need to be taught a lesson!"
Hearing Chen Changnian's words, Chen Jinghuai couldn't help but asked worriedly, "You haven't met those bandits, have you?"
Facing Chen Jinghuai's question, Chen Changnian immediately shook his head, "Of course not! How could those bandits get close to me? I just heard that those bandits surrounded the city and killed many people nearby. I think they It’s just abominable!”
After hearing this, Chen Jinghuai nodded heavily, and then the group stepped into the courtyard.
After stepping into the courtyard, Chen Jinghuai couldn't help but his eyes lit up. The courtyard looked dark from the outside. It was just an ordinary house, without any appearance of mountains or water.
Unexpectedly, there was a completely different scene in this courtyard. Under the lights, the rockery garden water seems to have clearly moved the landscape into the garden.
The maids in front carried colorful glazed lamps, illuminating only the road ahead.
The group of people was arranged to move forward.
When they arrived at the main hall, it was already filled with a table of fine wine and food.
Then Zhao Yanzhen took Gillian and took the initiative to walk to the front. He only acted like a master and asked everyone to sit down.
In the middle of the excitement, two more people walked in outside the house at this time.
Of these two people, one looked like a young woman, and the other was about forty or fifty.
Seeing everyone looking at her, the young woman only smiled shyly, "Am I disturbing everyone's enjoyment?"
But the mother-in-law behaved differently than other women. She just smiled nonchalantly and said, "So you are all eating here. I wonder why the front yard is so lively today. Since there is such a lively thing, why don't you see it?" Someone call us over."
After hearing what the old woman said, everyone present just looked at the two of them in surprise. Obviously, no one knew who the old woman was.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, the mother-in-law just had a smile on her face. After she said this, she walked in the door without hesitation. When she walked in, she took the lunch as if it was her own home and greeted the little maid next to her: "Girl, go and give it to me." I'll move two chairs."
When Chen Jinghuai saw two women, an old one and a young one, standing in front of the door, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Yanzhen blankly and said, "Who are these two?"
It was obvious that he regarded this young girl as Zhao Yanzhen's little wife.
Before Zhao Yanzhen had time to explain, Jiang Nianjiao saw that Aunt Li had already sat down, so she couldn't help but said to the young girl, "Miss Hui, since you came here with Aunt Li, come and have some food."
After listening to Jiang Nianjiao's words, Shen Fanghui nodded.
Then she sat silently next to Jiang Nianjiao.
After signaling Shen Fanghui to come in, Jiang Nianjiao smiled and introduced Chen Jinghuai, "This is Shen Fanghui, Miss Hui. Miss Hui came to Leiyang to wait for her husband to pick her up and take her to Yunzhou. There was an accident on the way."
It turned out that they were just two unrelated strangers, so Chen Jinghuai just nodded towards her.
But Jiang Nianjiao suddenly said to Chen Jinghuai, "By the way, Colonel Chen, do you think there is anyone behind you waiting for your fiancée to come?"
Upon hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Chen Jinghuai just said, "Not really, what? Miss Hui's husband is the daughter-in-law of one of our soldiers?"
When Jiang Nianjiao heard this, she just nodded, "Yes!"
"If that's the case, then I will remember to ask Miss Hui for you. In this way, Miss Hui's husband can come to pick you up earlier."
Hearing this, Miss Hui immediately smiled and said, "Then Colonel Chen will take care of you."
During this meal, because there were two outsiders, Shen Fanghui, it was not easy to say a lot of things.
So people at the table were just eating and drinking.
Later Jiang Nian
Jiao also saw that this female family member was somewhat delaying the conversation between the gentlemen, so she took the initiative to drag Shen Fanghui and the female family members to watch the theater.
"Huiniang, Aunt Li, Aqian, it's still early, why don't we go to the theater pavilion in Orchid Garden to watch a play for a while. It just so happens that the bitter summer is long, and Liu Rulan and his wife from Partridge Spring have also returned to Leiyang to cool off. , we can let her sing a part, would you like to go and see it together?"
"Partridge Spring? Is that the Partridge Spring in the capital?" Unexpectedly, no one else had responded yet, so Granny Li asked first.
Jiang Nianjiao saw that Granny Li also knew about Partridge Spring, but she couldn't help but look at her somewhat differently.
You must know that the troupe of Partridge Spring has been taking a high-end route from the beginning. They first performed for the royal family, and later performed for dignitaries.
At most, their family only performs in these two circles, and ordinary people can't afford to hire such people.
So if Aunt Li has heard of this drama, it at least means that the other party's family must be a high-ranking official.
Jiang Nianjiao smiled and said, "Besides that Partridge Spring, where else can there be another Partridge Spring?"
Nanny Li obviously had the same doubts as Jiang Nianjiao. She didn't know who Jiang Nianjiao was. Although she had wondered more than once about the origin of the couple, she had also secretly asked the maids and servants who served her, but these people Their mouths were very strict, as if they had undergone professional training. Unless Jiang Nianjiao asked them to speak, she would not hear a word of truth from their mouths.
Because of this, she still didn't know where Jiang Nianjiao came from.
But now that Jiang Nianjiao can actually invite Partridge Chun, this cannot be an ordinary businessman family, this must be a high-ranking official.
"Young girl is very capable. She is able to recruit Partridge Spring. This troupe is not difficult to hire.".z.br>
Naturally, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't say anything about revealing her identity. She just smiled slightly and said, "Mommy is not bad. Since you can recognize Partridge Spring, come on, let's not talk so much now, let's just watch the show."
Seeing that Jiang Nianjiao had said this, Granny Li naturally had no intention of continuing to talk here. After all, she still liked watching plays, especially Partridge Spring's play, she liked it very much.
Therefore, the two parties can now be regarded as hitting it off.
The two of them only planned to go to Orchid Garden at the same time.
And in this way, without the two outsiders here, it will naturally be much easier for them to talk about their plans for the day.
When the female family members arrived at Orchid Garden, Liu Rulan and his wife were already waiting here.
I saw that the two of them were of similar stature, and both of them had already prepared their appearance. However, the woman was seen as a heroic young man, and her appearance turned out to be very heroic, handsome and charming.
And when a man pretends to be a woman, he is also very pretty and gentle.
As soon as they saw Jiang Nianjiao, they wanted to pay their respects to Jiang Nianjiao, but before they came, they accepted the instructions from the maids.
Therefore, when the couple came to greet Jiang Nianjiao, they just smiled and said, "Hello, Madam."
Jiang Nianjiao smiled slightly and said, "You two and I haven't seen each other for a while. I haven't heard your play for a long time, but I thought about it a lot. I wonder if you two would be willing to perform a part for me."
After listening to Jiang Nianjiao's words, the couple just smiled and said, "It is our honor to perform for Madam. I don't know which part of the performance Madam would like to hear."
After the words fell, the couple handed their own folding notes to Jiang Nianjiao's hand.
Jiang Nianjiao looked at the fold, and then handed it over to the three of them. Then the three of them looked at the fold, but they couldn't be at peace. The three of them obviously had three styles.
Chen Hongnian was born into a family of military commanders. She likes fighting and killing, so the dramas she watches naturally tend to be action dramas. Grandma Li prefers dramas about happy endings, and Shen Fanghui prefers romantic tragedies.
The three parties couldn't argue, or to be more precise, Chen Changnian and Aunt Li couldn't argue. After all, when Shen Fanghui saw that her opinions were different from others, Shen Fanghui was very good at giving up her choice and just said that whatever she saw was fine.
However, Chen Yannian and Grandma Li were at loggerheads.
Chen Changnian felt that she had such a good relationship with Jiang Nianjiao, and she hated Grandma Li a little, so why did she give in to Grandma Li.
As for Grandma Li, she has always been like this. She doesn't know how to write the word polite.
Therefore, the two of them refused to give in to each other.
At this time, even Liu Rulan and his wife saw this situation and couldn't help but suggest, "How about we perform two shows?"
After hearing the couple's proposal, Chen Changnian and Grandma Li paused for a moment, but soon, they had some different opinions.
Chen Changnian and Grandma Li asked almost at the same time, "Whose play will be performed first?"
There is no way to answer this. No matter how you answer, it seems to offend people.
Seeing that the two of them were not giving up, Jiang Nianjiao simply suggested, "Okay! Stop arguing, both of you. Let's go straight to rock-paper-scissors. Two winners out of three games. Whoever wins will see first."
After listening to Jiang Nianjiao's suggestion, the two of them immediately had no objections, and then the two of them started playing rock-paper-scissors. After three games like this, Chen Changnian unexpectedly won all the games.
Although Grandma Li was very reluctant to say that Chen Changnian was cheating, she still failed to win in the next few games, and Shen Fanghui also came to persuade Grandma Li to keep a lower profile.
So in the end, Grandma Li didn't say anything.
Then Liu Rulan and his wife also went up to perform.
Although the two argued for a long time, when they finally performed, they found that the other party seemed to have good taste, so they were very engaged in watching the whole process.
The play lasted until dark, and they just ended the performance.
Before Jiang Nianjiao saw them off, she only asked Cui Qiao to see them off, as she had ordered.
At this time, the couple and the theater troupe were already cleaning up backstage. Seeing Cui Qiao coming over to give the money, the couple accepted the money and only said some auspicious words.
On the contrary, Cui Qiao couldn't help but ask the couple, "I wonder if you two met that old woman when you were in the capital?"
