Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Daiyu felt that Chen Xiaosheng's hands were shaking slightly.

The tea is cold.

Chen Xiaosheng's hands stopped shaking.

She said softly: "But you are different from me. At the beginning, my parents didn't approve of many of my behaviors, especially my mother. If my father hadn't allowed me to play with my sisters before I got married, I'm afraid I said If she wants to start a poetry club, she will prevent me from continuing to communicate with my sisters, and even marry me off early."

"What my mother always thinks is that no matter how much my father loves me, he will only allow me to mess around at home before I leave the court. Once I get married in the future, my husband's family will naturally control me."

"Who knows, I got married later..." Chen Xiaosheng sneered, "In the beginning, I really only cared about spending time with my husband, and even because other sisters in the poetry club were married, we are not as easy to get together as in the past, really There were many agreed days when we had no time to get together, so I really passed a peaceful time, just like my mother hoped."

"Gradually, everything changed." Chen Xiaosheng said bitterly, "At the beginning, my parents, especially my mother, thought that I was older, and some of the sisters in my poetry club were married. Some people wanted to say what would happen to me before I left the cabinet, and they were anxious to marry me off, and they only saw a young master who was also a scholar, so they quickly settled the marriage."

"Before I married, my husband and brother hadn't separated yet. He relied on his elder brother to live a good life. Soon after I married, the family separated. At the beginning, I only relied on the family property left after the separation. It can be regarded as a good life. It’s just that this kind of life didn’t last long, and the cash he got at the beginning has been used up, so he’s going to sell his property to make ends meet.”

"In the end, I wanted to teach in a school because he didn't have the skills to take care of the family. In the end, he forced me to go out to earn money to support the family. Even at this time, he still wanted to find a confidante."

Chen Xiaosheng's sneer turned into a wry smile at some point.

"Xiao'er, you said that if a woman marries someone, she ends up marrying like this. What's the point of marrying someone like me? Of course, there are a small number of people like me, but how many truly loving and beautiful couples are there? It’s hard not to interfere. If the family’s livelihood is difficult, then how many problems will be caused.”

"But you don't have to worry about these problems. Your father and your younger brother will definitely not let you fall into such a situation." Chen Xiaosheng thought about it again, but couldn't help but sigh, "That may not be the case with Ying girl."

The reputation of the Jia family is no longer as good as it used to be.Chen Xiaosheng doesn't go in and out much on a daily basis, but he also hears about it.The men of the Jia family had some problems themselves, so it was hard to expect them to choose someone with good character when they chose a son-in-law for their daughter.

Chen Xiaosheng knew Yingchun acquaintance and knew that Yingchun was cowardly. As long as the person she married had a slightly bad character, with Yingchun's usual resignation, he was afraid that it would not take long for the other party to make progress.

As for Xichun, she is the youngest, but she is also somewhat rigid. There are two older sisters in front of her, and the marriage is not urgent, so Chen Xiaosheng is not worried about her.

Daiyu's heart tightened when she heard this.

At first, because of the unexplainable depression in her heart, she thought about coming to Xiqiong courtyard.Seeing Chongyu sending him back, he immediately went out again, so he lost his mind and stood there for a while, when Chen Xiaosheng bumped into him.

I thought that with Chen Xiaosheng's knowledge, she might be able to answer her doubts, but who knew it would only make her worry again.

It's not that she doesn't know that no matter how much she worries about Yingchun, she can't help Yingchun.If Yingchun can't change her personality by herself, no matter how others help her, it will be difficult to truly change her destiny.

"Frowning girl?"

Chen Xiaosheng's call interrupted Daiyu's thoughts.

She leaned towards Chen Xiaosheng, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, back then the sisters in your poetry club left the cabinet... Did you ever feel reluctant? You even wished that they would never get married?"

Chen Xiaosheng was about to answer, but Daiyu asked again: "But I don't feel this way for everyone, only for one of them. I just hope that she will always be with me, and I can't bear her to leave, even after knowing that she is married. Most of them can live well, but I still don’t want to see that day come..."

Daiyu's voice became lower and lower.

Like Yingchun, it is possible to live better under the protection of her parents and relatives. She does not have such a strong desire not to marry her.

How could she think this way when facing Baochai who should be able to live a good life no matter what the environment is?

"You..." Chen Xiaosheng looked at her suspiciously, "Are you talking about Baochai?"

Daiyu was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly in Chen Xiaosheng's arms.

Let's talk about Chongyu, since he left Lin's mansion, he met Xue Biao who was waiting outside the mansion, and the two went to the house rented by Xu Qingyan.

The house is not big, and there are not many people living in it. It is a small house, quiet and tidy.

Hearing the knock on the door, a pretty little girl came out to open the door. Seeing that it was Xue Biao, she happily invited him in.

It was Chongyu's first time here, and she didn't recognize her, and she couldn't help but glance back quietly when she was leading the way.

Xu Qingyan who was in the room had already received the news and rushed out to greet her.

It's just that Xue Biao is not worthy of her. After all, she will be Xue Biao's sister-in-law when she and Xue Pan get married.

But the news from the servants said that there was a teenager who had never seen Xue Biao coming with Xue Biao, so Xu Qingyan naturally guessed that it was Chongyu.

When Xu Qingyan walked over with a smile on her face, Chongyu was secretly looking at her.

Jinxiang Tower is worthy of being the favorite romantic place for those who claim to be romantic. The former headliner, Yan'er, does not have the slightest sense of romanticism in her behavior, but she is more like a boudoir daughter, with elegant and romantic manners. , has already asked people's hearts and souls.

The more outstanding Xu Qingyan was, the more surprised Chongyu was.

For such a beautiful woman, there are many choices to get rid of the romantic place, so why did Xue Pan, who still had to ask for help, finally got such an honor?

But it is enough to explain why Xue Panfei did not marry her.

When Chongyu looked at Xu Qingyan, Xu Qingyan was also looking at him.

After entering the room, serving tea, and listening to Xue Biao's introduction of Chongyu's name, Xu Qingyan said with a smile: "Back then, Wen Qi was holding Mr. Lin's calligraphy and painting, and wanted to meet me at the Jinxiang Tower. I was already curious about what Mr. Lin is like." The character, seeing him today, is really extraordinary."

Wenqi is Xue Pan's watchword.

When Chongyu painted for Xue Pan at the beginning, there was no information in the painting that could reveal Chongyu's identity.However, later Xu Qingyan and Xue Pan confessed that they had already realized that those calligraphy and paintings were not made by Xue Pan. If they wanted to ask who the author was, Xue Pan had already mentioned Chongyu.

Chongyu raised his eyebrows, looked at the little girl who was still waiting on the side, and said with a smile: "I am also curious about what kind of person Miss Xu is, so that Brother Xue cares so much. I will see you today, and I will know why."

Xue Pan should have bought this little girl for Xu Qingyan later. When Xu Qingyan left Jinxiang Tower alone, Chongyu thought she would hide her true identity from those who are now serving her. Who would have thought of her? It's so calm.

Xu Qingyan turned her head to look at the little girl, and said lightly: "If you only think about how to hide some things from others, the more you try to hide them, the easier it will be exposed. There are not a few people who met me that day, so I will Do you want to hide it, and can you really cover so many mouths in the world? And this girl has been with me for a while, so I think it is credible."

"I waited for the past. I just need to hide my mother-in-law before I leave my flesh and blood for the Xue family. When I have flesh and blood, or even when the children grow up, I will directly tell my life experience, and I will tell you my life experience." How about it? It’s just another romantic story.”

"Oh?" Chongyu was even more surprised, "Does Big Brother Xue know about this?"

Xu Qingyan lowered her head and smiled, becoming more gentle and pleasant: "I have already told him, and he agrees."

Although Chongyu was still chatting and laughing with Xu Qingyan and Xue Biao, his heart was already full of doubts.

If Xu Qingyan herself was not so independent, he would just think that Xu Qingyan wanted to see him, and simply wanted to thank him for helping him leave Jinxiang Tower.But after seeing it and hearing some shocking theories from Xu Qingyan, Chongyu couldn't believe that Xu Qingyan's intentions were so simple.

After talking for a while, Xu Qingyan suddenly sent the little girl out to buy vegetables and was going to come back to make lunch.

She looked at Xue Biao again and asked Chongyu: "If it is related to Prince Zhongshun, is it convenient to talk about it now?"

Xue Biao consciously got up and hurried out, yelling: "If that girl goes out to buy vegetables, I'm afraid she won't be able to buy some wine. I'll go out and find some good wine."

Xu Qingyan watched him go out, covered her lips and said with a smile: "Wen Qi's younger brother is much more interesting than Wen Qi."

Chongyu remained silent, watching her quietly.

She laughed to herself for a while, but still did not see Chongyu's answer, and there was no one else in the room, even if she performed alone for a while, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

She gently lowered her hands, all smiles disappeared.

"Master Lin must be patient and listen to me first? If you have finished listening, if there is anything unclear, I will explain it for you."

"You said."

Chongyu's heart has already set off a turbulent sea.

It is not known to many people that the Lin family is closer to Prince Zhongshun's mansion.

However, where did Xu Qingyan learn about Prince Zhongshun?If it was just in the Jinxiang Building back then, and heard those princes and grandsons mention it, Xu Qingyan must have known that the information that can be used as a talking point is not of much value.

"Both my parents died when I was young, and the nanny who follows me now is really my nanny when I was young." Xu Qingyan said unhurriedly, "My real name is indeed Xu Qingyan. My father is a general, and my mother She is a girl from a family. There was a problem on the northern border a few years ago, and although it didn’t cause enough wars for people outside the border to care about, it was enough for some people guarding the border to lose their loved ones.”

"The war, or the sudden invasion of the enemy country. At that time, people on the border thought that there would always be peace, and my father even took my mother and me there. So, when the war broke out, my mother and my father, who were pregnant again, both Dead, only I was hid by my mother, and barely survived, and waited for the reinforcements sent by the King of Nan'an."

"My parents didn't leave much property to me, and only my nanny took me with me. The old and the young, it's hard to survive. The only thing I have is this beauty. The man sent by Nan'an County King Although he saved me, he didn't think of helping me too much. It wasn't until I voluntarily entered Jinxiang Building and received training from Jinxiang Building that I realized that the big boss behind Jinxiang Building is Nan'an County King."

"It's him?" Rao Chongyu was already prepared, and when he heard Xu Qingyan say this, he couldn't help but exclaim.

Xu Qingyan nodded: "I didn't believe it at first, but the person who told me about the existence of Jinxiang Tower and introduced me to join Jinxiang Tower was one of the reinforcements sent to the border by the king of Nan'an County. Although it was only a small commander, but Without the consent of someone with a higher status, and my father had no friendship with him during his lifetime, I don't think he would do his best for an orphan like me."

Chong Yu wanted to ask why the King of Nan'an or his subordinates were interested in Xu Qingyan back then, but looking at the charming face of the woman in front of him, the answer came out.

Xu Qingyan gently fiddled with the hair next to her ears, a bit of hatred added to her smile.

"When I first joined Jinxianglou, I was just an ordinary performer. However, when I asked to select customers and even set all kinds of harsh conditions, the mother of Jinxianglou readily agreed, and even offered to advise me and help me choose Arranging some princes and grandchildren with extremely favorable conditions to meet... However, these people often have to meet their mother before meeting me. From then on, I began to feel a little weird."
