In view of Chen Fei's current attitude, chatting with him has a clear purpose. In addition to explaining to Chen Bin, he also implicitly praises him. In short, it is all kinds of matchmaking.
Wen Yi decisively ended her wandering with him and returned to the small courtyard. She was worried alone in the courtyard, not knowing how to face the old lady next.
Now that Chen Ping lives in the front yard, every move of the three of them cannot be hidden from him. It is inevitable that he will chat with the old lady when they go to the backyard to dine.
Wen Yi refused to show up some time ago, and now her relationship with Chen Bin has become like this. Although the old lady seems to be aloof from worldly affairs, she is smart and smart. This matter also involves Chen Bin. I wonder how she will treat herself at night. .
Thinking that stretching one's head out and shrinking one's head is the same as cutting back, Wen Yi stopped lingering during dinner and went there early. When he pushed open the old lady's courtyard door, he saw Chen Ping chatting with the old lady.
Seeing her, Chen Ping stiffly called sister-in-law. Although he tried his best to act normal, he was inexperienced and felt a little embarrassed. On the other hand, the old lady looked like she was fine and said, "Let's have dinner."
He didn't say a single insignificant word, and his expression was natural. Wen Yi has always been open-minded and doesn't like to pretend to be deaf and mute and escape from reality.
Now that something has happened, you should face it bravely, so after dinner, Wen Yi said: "Mom, the relationship between Chen Bin and I is not as everyone sees. I have always regarded him as a friend or even a relative. To you, too, To me, you are better than your own mother if you are not my own mother. As for Chen Bin, I am very sorry."
The old lady smiled and said: "Sorry for what? I'm sorry that I don't like him? He likes you, but is it wrong that you don't like him? No one is right or wrong in emotional matters, it's just what you want. He likes you, I'm happy No matter how sad or sad, is it you who caused it? Let me ask you, did you simply reject him today? "
Wen Yi nodded hesitantly.
"You didn't lie to him and play with his feelings, so how can you start to apologize? You are kind, beautiful and smart. It's his fault that Chen Bin was attracted to you. It's his problem that he didn't try hard enough to impress you after being attracted. You What's wrong?"
"But he is depressed and sad now because of me."
"He is a manly man. If he can't even deal with this problem, I think you are right if you don't like him. Women, always have to think clearly whether the man they want to entrust to them for life is worth relying on. We have to do it for ourselves Many men leave their homes, get married and have children, and will have to live in the backyard and take care of housework for the rest of their lives. Compared with the little embarrassment and hardship before getting married, it is really not worth mentioning. Are you right?"
Wen Yi felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell what was wrong. He could only look at the old lady and nodded gently.
When the old lady saw the confused Wen Yi, she patted her hand gently and said, "Go back and rest, just keep your heart in your stomach, sleep when you need to sleep, eat when you need to eat, don't think too much about it, okay?" "
Wen Yi was persuaded by the old lady to go back. Walking on the road, she felt like her feet were stepping on cotton, so soft and unreal. The dialogue that I had rehearsed countless times in my mind did not come in handy, but was comforted by the old lady?
No matter what, she felt a little happy when she finally talked to the old lady. Since she couldn't leave the General's Mansion, she had to work hard to build a good relationship with everyone. She didn't want to live in an extremely embarrassing family. .
At this moment, Chen Bin had long been forgotten by Wen Yi. Since Wen Yi left, Chen Bin wanted to be quiet for a while and think about what to do next. It's just that the more alone you are, the easier it is for your thoughts to wander, and you can't concentrate at all.
As a last resort, he had no choice but to pick up the paperwork and start dealing with business, hoping to numb himself. It was as if nothing had happened today. He had never seen Wen Yi and Chen Fei, was not rejected, and was not extremely flustered.
Wen Yi's suggestion about silver coins was very effective. In just a few days, the data from Chen Fei was very impressive.
However, it is still impossible to supplement the military salary at this stage, so Chen Bin wants to further select the relatively wealthy cities in the surrounding areas and expand the scope of selling beef and mutton.
Since Chen Bin arrived at the border and regained military power, Lingcheng has sent countless people to negotiate. But since General Lingcheng's residence was confiscated and exiled, there was no need for any negotiation between Chen Bin and the emperor.
The relationship between them has reached a point of death, and Chen Bin will never compromise. Therefore, the officials who were sent were either killed or imprisoned, with no possibility of survival.
During this time, Chen Bin listened to Wen Yi's suggestion and divided the soldiers into two groups, one for guarding and the other for farming.
Unexpectedly, this not only did not affect the training in the military camp, but on the contrary, the soldiers were able to go home to help their own children and children. After returning to the military camp, they became more enthusiastic and actively cooperated with the training.
The pile of letters on Chen Bin's desk slowly changed from a high pile on the right to a high pile on the left, and the sky outside gradually changed from a blue sky and white sun to a bright moon and sparse stars.
In the middle, the housekeeper called someone to hand over a food box, but Chen Bin put it aside and ignored it. He had no choice but to return it if the old lady knew about it and would be warned.
In the past, military affairs felt heavy, but now it was just the opposite. Chen Bin wished he could do more. It was just hope, reality was reality, and things would eventually be settled.
Chen Bin looked at the slip in front of him in a daze, not knowing what to do next. Turning his head to look at the desk to one side, the image of Wen Yi lying on it and drawing appeared in front of his eyes, as if it happened just yesterday.
Suddenly Wen Yi said something sharply in his direction, and Chen Bin subconsciously explained: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I didn't do anything this time. Don't be angry."
The moment the voice sounded, Chen Bin realized that it was just his imagination and an illusion.
Thinking of Wen Yi, I wonder what she is doing now. Have you been to your mother's place for dinner? Or should I be so angry that I have to leave the General's Mansion? If so, if so...
He stood up and walked to the food box, asking the butler to take the things out. He really had no appetite at all now.
The anxiety in his heart could not be resolved. When the housekeeper left, Chen Bin said: "Bring me a jar of wine." He thought that drinking would be good, and he would not have to worry about getting drunk. If he got drunk, he would have a good sleep tonight. .
The butler not only brought him wine, but also prepared dishes to go with the wine, but Chen Bin only focused on drinking and didn't even use chopsticks.
Originally a teetotaler, he started talking nonsense after a few drinks. He kept apologizing and begging, his eyes wet.
The housekeeper knew that he might have caused a big disaster, so he quickly looked for someone to find Chen Fei. As soon as he turned around, the door closed in front of his eyes. Everyone in the General's Mansion was anxious at the door, not knowing what to do for a moment!
