Chapter 43
Chen Zi took a sip of roses and dew, wiped the corner of his mouth with a veil, and then said, "Yes, although they are all relatives, they must avoid suspicion. The Zheng family's scholarly family is the most precious, and they are particularly particular in terms of rules."
Chen Qi smiled but said nothing. Instead, Chen Zi looked at Chen Jin and said, "Three Sisters, tell me first. Is Yongning Body particularly scary? After all, he is a relative. If he meets him one after another... It's always bad to lose his composure. I'm fine, but I heard that Yongle Hou has a bad temper..." Chen Zi suddenly looked at Chen Jin with a look of horror, "Will he hit you with the third sister?"
Chen Jin looked at Chen Zi, thought for a while before he persuaded, "Second sister, please listen to less rumors."
Chen Zi only thought that she had poked Chen Jin's pain point and smiled even brighter. She was the best among the sisters. This smile really felt a bit as bright as the sun. "Three sisters, I've returned to the capital anyway, so naturally my father will make the decision for you... But since I've already married, don't feel wronged, and living a good life is real."
Chen Jin said, "Yeah, I will live a good life. In fact, my husband is really very good."
Chen Zi sneered.
Chen Qi also said, "If the second sister had not been humble, the third sister would not have such a good marriage. In this way, the third sister would have to thank the second sister."
"Oh." Chen Jin looked at Chen Qi. She used to listen to her elder sister's words the most, so she really got up and said, "Thank you, second sister."
Chen Zi had some suspicion in his eyes and looked at Chen Qi. Chen Qi took Chen Jin's hand and asked her to sit back next to her. He just looked at Chen Zi and smiled, "I just hope that the second sister will not regret it in the future."
Chen Jin looked at Chen Zi and looked at Chen Qi again, leaning against Chen Qi decisively and whispered, "Why do second sister regret it?"
"No need to go back." Chen Qi held Chen Jin's hand and frowned slightly. Although he felt that the feeling in Chen Jin's hand was not as delicate as when he was in the capital, he didn't say it out loud. He just smiled, "I'll know in a while."
Chen Jin responded and did not ask any more. Chen Zi looked at the two of them, narrowed her eyes and changed her posture with some annoyance. Could it be that they know what the Zheng family is doing? No! Marrying into the Zheng family is her choice. The Zheng family is noble, which is better than marrying into a place like a border town, and how could Yongning Bo be stronger than Zheng Jia and Qu?
"Big sister, I just got some excellent bird's nests, which are the most nourishing. I'll give you some tomorrow." As he said that, he looked at Chen Qi's stomach, "Actually, my sister is still young, so there is no need to be so anxious."
Chen Qi's face did not change, but he just smiled and said, "Even if there are bird's nests, there are many bird's nests in the mansion, and I don't like to eat those things. But if the second sister is really mean, why not give me a few collections of poems by my second brother-in-law? I heard that the prince specially bought them."
"What collection of poems?" Chen Jin really didn't know, and he couldn't help but be curious after hearing it. "And the prince asked someone to buy a collection of poems, why do you know?"
Chen Qi chuckled, looked at Chen Zi with an ugly face and said, "What is the collection of poems called "Ode to Flowers"? It is divided into several parts: seeing flowers, appreciating flowers, pitying flowers, loving flowers, regretting flowers, and sighing about flowers. It is said that the rhetoric is gorgeous and widely sung."
"Why haven't I heard of it?" Chen Jin said in confusion, "But I just returned to Beijing, so I'm afraid I don't know. Then my second sister will give me a copy too."
If it weren't for the reason, Chen Zi almost lifted up everything on the table. When Chen Jing and Shen Rong came over, they saw that the second sister who came out of their compatriots was sitting aside and looking ugly. Chen Qi was pulling Chen Jin to ask about his well-being. The two looked at each other and saluted before sitting next to Chen Zi.
When Chen Zi saw the two sisters, he took a deep breath and vomited it out before calming down. He turned his eyes and asked, "Have you seen three brother-in-laws?"
"No." Chen Rong replied, and she whispered, "My mother sent someone to call me and my fourth sister here to talk to the three sisters."
Chen Zi couldn't swallow this breath, but she knew that the Zheng family was not as powerful as the Yongle Marquis Mansion and Yongning Bo's Mansion. What could be used to comfort her was just the rumors of Yongning Bo's, so she deliberately said, "When I meet your three brother-in-law later, don't make a fuss, you'll lose the face of the royal palace."
Chen Rong felt a little nervous, but said with a little confusion on her face, "Second sister, don't worry, we have seen our eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law for a long time, the third brother-in-law..." As she said that, she looked at Chen Jin, half-talking and half-hidden.
Unfortunately, Chen Jin didn't notice Chen Rong's eyes, and there was no tacit understanding at all. She was whispering to Shen Qi about the sesame cakes from Old Man Qiao's house in the border town. Chen Qi was so angry that he kept teaching her a lesson, "How many times have I told you that you should not eat anything outside, what if it's not clean? If you really want to eat, let the servants in the mansion learn it, or invite people to make it in the mansion. You even asked someone to brush sweet and spicy sauce in the cake?"
Chen Qi just asked her how she used it in the border town. Chen Jin said she let it go, and Chen Qi was almost crying, "Sister, I dare not, I didn't eat too much..."
Chen Rong held her breath in her heart and looked at Chen Zi, and saw that Chen Zi's face became even more ugly. Chen Jing suddenly said, "Three sisters, there have been many rumors about the third brother-in-law recently. Which ones are true and which are false? If there is anything difficult, let me tell my sisters. No matter what, we are all a family, and this place is always the third sister's parents' home."
Chen Qi stopped scolding Chen Jin for the time being when he heard this. He looked at Chen Rong. Chen Jin also looked over, then turned his head to look at Chen Qi and asked, "Big sister, are the nanny mothers he invited to do that at the time still here?"
"When my mother asked for it, she said she wanted to support her nanny, so she was all in the mansion." Chen Qi smiled and said.
Chen Jin nodded, as if he asked casually, then stopped talking to Shen Qi, "In addition to the sesame cakes from Old Man Qiao's house, the pastries made by Madam Zhao are actually very delicious."
"Then I will go to Yongning Bo Mansion another day, and I will definitely try it when the time comes." Chen Qi never looked at them again and continued to pull Chen Jin and said, "Is your mansion enough? I know a few friends, which is good."
"Enough." Chen Jin's sentence just now seemed like a casual question, continuing to chat with Shen Qi intimately.
Chen Qi also told Chen Jin a lot about what happened in the capital.
Chen Zi, Chen Jing and Shen Rong felt that there were obviously more than three of them, but they seemed particularly... unconfidence in front of these two people? They even felt a little unnecessary.
When Cuixi came over, she saw Chen Jin leaning against Shen Qi as if she had not been married. A smile flashed in her eyes, and then she said respectfully, "Several girls, the princess, please come over."
"Okay." Chen Qi smiled and said, "Let's go." After that, he got up and looked at Chen Jin. After Chen Jin also stood up, the two of them walked out together.
Chen Zi and the other two followed behind, but they didn't dare to say anything. After all, Cui Xi was the most useful person around Princess Rui.
When a few people arrived, they saw Princess Rui sitting upright. After saluting, Princess Rui smiled and said, "Sit down."
"Yes." Chen Qi pulled Chen Jin and sat next to Princess Rui, and the remaining three of them sat down one by one.
Princess Rui took a look and said nothing, but just smiled, "The prince brought two sons and three sons-in-law to compete. I asked you to come here just to ask if you want to watch the fun?"
Chen Zi's face turned pale and said, "Why is this good? My husband is the worst in martial arts. My third brother-in-law... What if he really loses his sense of responsibility when he starts to fight?"
"No." Chen Jin comforted, "Don't worry, second sister, my husband is the most sensible. Besides, unless the match is equal, my husband will not do his best."
Is this really a comfort? Chen Qi didn't think anything. Even if Prince Yongle was taught a lesson, it would be good. He just asked, "Why would your father want to end up with a competition? Who proposed it?"
Princess Rui smiled and looked at Cuixi, and Cuixi said, "I heard from the person who was passing the message that it was proposed by my second son-in-law. What kind of gentleman should be proficient in all six arts."
Chen Zi twitched his eyes and said quietly, "The second brother-in-law is really true. Since he knows that his third brother-in-law has been guarding the border for many years, how can he mention the Six Arts of Gentleman?"
Chen Jin nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, my second brother-in-law is really..." As he said that, he shook his head, "My husband is practicing the martial arts of murder." Then he looked at Chen Zi, who was pale and promised Chen Qi, "Don't worry, my husband is a proper person." Although Chen Jin could not say that he knew Chu Xiuming, he knew that Chu Xiuming would not leave any handles when doing things. The first time he came to Prince Rui's Mansion, he injured Prince Rui and his two brother-in-law? This is not Chu Xiuming's style.
Chen Qi smiled and said, "I'm naturally relieved."
Chen Jin smiled when he saw this, "Yes, my husband doesn't use all his strength, so he can be free to retract." Then he looked at Princess Rui, "Mother, I'm married, I shouldn't have asked more about the matter in the mansion, but... Is there any nanny around me who teaches me?"
Princess Rui raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Jin, glanced at Chen Jing and Shen Rong again before saying, "It was not long after you got married that Concubine Xu begged the prince. Although the nanny of the tutor stayed in the mansion, they never taught the Fourth and Fifth Girls anymore."
Chen Jin moved his mouth in embarrassment, but he didn't say anything, but Chen Qi said without much scruples, "Mother, let the nanny teach the two younger sisters again, and the people around the two younger sisters should also clean up. Why did he tell them all the messy rumors outside? The two younger sisters are not young anymore."
Chen Jing and Shen Rong now knew why Chen Jin asked that, and looked at Chen Zi with a pale face. Chen Zi thought that the two sisters arranged their mothers, and they were anxious but didn't know what to say.
Princess Rui didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and said, "Okay, they are all their own family, and they will eat together in a while."
"Yes." Several people agreed.
Although it was a competition, as Chen Jin said, Chu Xiuming still kept his hands. At least these people had no external injuries. Except for the fact that they were a little embarrassed, it was not a big deal. After all, people like them would always prepare two more clothes for replacement when they went out to avoid accidents.
Chu Xiuming also changed into a brocade robe and tied his hair with a jade crown. No one could connect him with the Yongning Bo who killed someone without blinking.
After the banquet was completed, Princess Rui took her five daughters to the dining room. Chen Zi looked at Chen Jin who was walking beside Princess Rui and sneered in her heart. She had already made up her mind and was determined to make Uncle Yongning lose face. Uncle Yongning had a tyrannical temper. If she was angry in the mansion, she would be more beautiful than Chen Jin.
Chen Zi glanced at the two sisters, lowered her eyes slightly, and Chen Rong bit her lip and nodded slightly.
In the dining room, King Rui was talking with Chu Xiuming with joy, while Chen Xi was even more admiring. Chen Xuan stood aside to entertain Prince Yongle Hou and the eldest son of the Zheng family.
When he heard the maid sending a message, King Rui smiled and said, "This is the first time Xiuming has come. I must drink a few more drinks later."
"What my father-in-law said is." Chu Xiuming was gentle and gentle, with a picture-like eyebrows and eyes, with a bit of coldness and nobleness. "I have heard from my wife that the sisters in the mansion have a very good relationship, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law are taught carefully, which is rare..."
"Ah...god..."
Before Chu Xiuming finished speaking, a woman's scream came from the door, and a delicate cry, "It's so scary..."
Princess Rui who was walking in front was shocked, not to mention Chen Jin and Shen Qi. Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then turned their heads to look over. Chen Rong was hiding in Shen Jing's arms. Chen Zi covered her lips with one hand and was frightened as if she had seen something scary. She was also very jealous of sisters holding her two sisters in her arms, lowering her head and never daring to look at the hall again. Chen Jing widened her eyes and looked at the people in the hall with no blood on her face.
Chen Jin looked confused. After looking at the hall, everyone looked at the three sisters Chen Zi and the sun in the sky. Xing's eyes were full of confusion. Even if there were ghosts, it would be impossible for the blue sky to come out in the sun?
Princess Rui understood, and a trace of mockery flashed in her eyes. Chen Qi sneered, but said nothing.
