The queen cried the whole harem

There are two gates of Ji Mansion next to each other. One is the courtyard where Ji Xianjiang lives, and the other is the courtyard where Ji Ruizhang lives. Sheridan spent an afternoon to find out clearly about the two gates of Ji Mansion. The one on the left is where Ji Ruizhang and Ji Yan live. , on the right is where Ji Xianjiang lives.

Sheridan thought that Chen Dongyan was Ji Yan's fiancé, so Chen Dongyan should live in the yard on the left.

Sheridan knocked on the door on the left.

Butler Chen came over to open the door and saw an unknown girl standing outside the door. He looked at the girl from head to toe. The girl had her hair tied up and was wearing a black and white tight-sleeved military uniform. She was beautiful and wore a belt. Noble, heroic and upright, one can tell that he has been practicing martial arts for a long time, and he was born either rich or noble.

Butler Chen didn't recognize the girl and asked, "Girl, are you knocking on the door?"

Sheridan smiled and said, "I knocked on the door. I came to see Chen Dongyan."

Butler Chen immediately asked: "The girl is from Guiyang City?"

Sheridan nodded: "Yes."

After hearing what Sheridan said, Butler Chen did not immediately welcome Sheridan in. He said warily: "Girl, can you tell me your name? I'll inform Mr. Chen to see if he wants to see you. If he sees you , I’ll come over again to lead you into the house.”

Sheridan raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that a servant of the Ji family at the border would be so cautious and considerate towards guests.

It seems that the Ji family has a good family tradition.

Sheridan believed that Chen Dongyan would definitely meet her, and her identity was not impossible to tell, so he reported his name to Butler Chen: "My surname is Xie, and my full name is Sheridan."

Butler Chen said, "Just wait a moment, I'll be back as soon as I can."

Butler Chen closed the door and quickly ran to Ji Xianjiang to find Chen Dongyan.

Chen Dongyan still lives here in Ji Xianjiang and has not changed places.

Today is New Year's Eve, it's evening again, Ji Ruizhang and Ji Yan both came to Ji Xianjiang's place for New Year's Eve dinner.

Ji Ruizhang and Ji Xianjiang are in the study.

Ji Yan just went to Aunt Ji's yard to chat with her for a while, and now she has just arrived at Chen Dongyan's place. Chen Dongyan poured her a cup of hot tea and she was drinking it.

After Butler Chen came over, he first bowed to Chen Dongyan and Ji Yan, and then said, "Master Chen, there is a girl at the door who calls herself Sheldan. She said she is from Guiyang City."

As the steward of the Ji Mansion, Steward Chen is quite familiar with some families in Guiyang City, but the ones he knows are basically the families of Marquis Wu or some famous families.

The Xie family is also one of the famous families, but starting from Earl Xie, no one in the Xie family is an official, so their reputation is not that great. Of course, in the field of businessmen, the Xie family is very prestigious, but Butler Chen is not familiar with this area. I have little contact with him, so I don’t know much about him, and I have never heard of Sheridan.

Xie Jingli was the legitimate son of the Xie family, so it was rare for him to hear a few words, but from a girl like Sheridan, to be honest, I had never heard of it.

Chen Kang's wife's surname was Xie and she was related to the Xie family, but Chen Kang was not Chen Dongyan's father, and Xie was not Chen Dongyan's mother. Butler Chen did not think of Chen Kang and Xie for a moment.

After Butler Chen finished speaking, Chen Dongyan was stunned for a moment. He seemed a little surprised and a little unbelievable. He asked, "Who are you talking about?"

Butler Chen repeated: "Sherdan, she said her name is Sherdan, she is from Guiyang City, looking for Mr. Chen."

Chen Dongyan heard clearly this time, and there was no mistaking it, it was Sheridan.

Chen Dongyan frowned and didn't understand why Sheridan came to Bobiguan. It was the Chinese New Year. She wasn't celebrating the New Year in Guiyang City and wasn't accompanying her parents and family. Why did she come here?
Chen Dongyan said: "Is she at the door?"

Butler Chen nodded: "Yes."

Chen Dongyan stood up.

Ji Yan put down the cup in her hand and stood up.

Chen Dongyan said: "I will pick her up, you don't have to go."

Ji Yan said "oh" and sat down again.

Chen Dongyan took Butler Chen away.

Chen Dongyan went to the door of Ji Ruizhang's yard, opened the door, and really saw Sheridan.

When Sheridan saw Chen Dongyan, a smile appeared on his face. He rushed over immediately, grabbed Chen Dongyan's arm, and shouted happily: "Cousin!"

This cousin is a bit far-fetched, but he is indeed his cousin.

Butler Chen was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, they are cousins, that is, they are one of their own.

Butler Chen had a sincere smile on his face.

Chen Dongyan took away Sheridan's hand, frowned and asked, "Why did you come to Bobei Pass?"

Xierdan lowered his eyes. Ever since Chen Dongyan was injured and fell into Cuimian Mountain, her life and death unknown, Xierdan couldn't sleep day and night. She also went to look for Chen Dongyan, but she never found him.

He returned to Guiyang City depressed and sad, living in despair every day, fearing that something would really happen to Chen Dongyan.

When she heard that Chen Dongyan was still alive and in Bobei Pass, her dead heart immediately came to life.

She originally planned to come to Bobiguan to see Chen Dongyan. Later, she heard that Chen Dongyan was engaged to a woman named Ji Yan, and said that the woman named Ji Yan was the woman who saved Chen Dongyan's life. Sheridan wanted to come even more. Trip.

She wanted to see that Ji Yan with her own eyes.

So she came without hesitation, regardless of the upcoming Chinese New Year and the objections of her family.

Sheridan likes Chen Dongyan so blatantly.

Everyone in Xie's family knows that she likes Chen Dongyan.

But Chen Dongyan doesn't like her.

Sheridan whispered: "Something happened to you. I have been looking for you. I heard that you appeared in Bobei Pass, so I wanted to take a look at you. Only when I see you with my own eyes can I feel relieved."

Chen Dongyan wanted to say, now that you have seen it with your own eyes, you can go, but thinking that today is New Year's Eve, it will take several days to rush from Bobei Pass to Guiyang City, waiting for Sheridan to rush back. This New Year It’s over long ago.

It was impossible for him to drive her away as soon as she arrived.

But Chen Dongyan really didn't like her appearance here.

Chen Dongyan pursed his thin lips and said, "Come in first, it's time to have dinner soon. Since you are here, you will have dinner with the Ji family. I will take you to meet Ji Xianjiang and Mrs. Ji first."

Sheridan was afraid that Chen Dongyan would drive her away. Once she heard Chen Dongyan asked her to stay, the anxiety in her heart immediately dissipated and she said happily: "Okay, I'll go say hello to Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji."

Chen Dongyan hummed and led her through the door.

Sheridan came on horseback, and all the gifts were tied with ropes and hung on the horse's back. When she was about to enter, she took the gifts off and handed the horse to Butler Chen.

Butler Chen immediately took the horse to the stable and got some food and drink for the horse.

Sheridan was holding the gift in his left hand and the gift in his right hand, still walking steadily.

Chen Dongyan glanced at the gifts in her left and right hands and asked, "Want to help?"

Sheridan shook his head: "No, I can hold it well."

Chen Dongyan said no more and led Sheridan to the study room, where he met Ji Xianjiang and Ji Ruizhang first.

Before entering the study, the gift was handed over to Butler Lin.When Butler Lin received the gift, he glanced at Sheridan. Chen Dongyan introduced him first: "My cousin, Sheridan."

Then he introduced to Sheridan: "Steward Lin from Uncle Ji's family."

Sheridan immediately said hello: "Hello, Butler Lin."

Butler Lin also said hello quickly: "Hello, Miss Xie."

Butler Lin went to place the gifts and said goodbye first.

Chen Dongyan knocked on the door, and Ji Xianjiang's voice came from inside: "Come in."

Chen Dongyan took Sheridan in.

Ji Xianjiang was asking Ji Ruizhang about developing the antidote, and also talked about the purchase of medicinal materials, and he was almost finished.

Chen Dongyan was in front, and Sheridan was behind. The two of them entered one after the other.

Ji Xianjiang didn't see Sherdan at first. When Chen Dongyan came closer, Sherdan followed suit, and Ji Xianjiang saw Sherdan.

At this time Ji Ruizhang also saw Sheridan.

Ji Xianjiang and Ji Ruizhang were both a little surprised.

Ji Xianjiang first asked: "Mr. Chen, who is this girl?"

Chen Dongyan introduced: "My cousin, Sheridan, she is from Guiyang City."

Ji Xianjiang immediately said: "It turns out she is Mr. Chen's cousin."

He said to Sheridan: "Miss Xie traveled thousands of miles to come to Bobei Pass. She heard Master Chen appeared in Bobei Pass. She was worried and came to take a look, right?"

Sheridan nodded: "Yes."

Ji Xianjiang asked: "Did Miss Xie just arrive today?"

Sheridan nodded again: "Yes."

Ji Xianjiang said: "Thank you for your hard work, Miss. It happens to be the New Year's Eve today. Now that you are here, why don't you celebrate the New Year's Eve with us? If you are not in a hurry to go back, you can stay and celebrate the New Year together this year."

Sheridan immediately said: "I'll stay for the New Year."

Ji Xianjiang nodded with a smile, called Ji Ruizhang over, and asked Ji Ruizhang and Sheridan to say hello.

Chen Dongyan formally introduced Ji Xianjiang and Ji Ruizhang to Sherdan, and then Chen Dongyan took Sherdan to meet Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji was quite surprised to see Sheridan.

But after knowing that Sheridan was Chen Dongyan's cousin, I felt it was natural.

But after Sheridan left with Chen Dongyan, Mrs. Ji frowned.

She said to Tian's mother: "Chen Dongyan's mother's surname is not Xie. This Sheridan should be the cousin in the fourth room of the Chen family. It is human nature to say that she is worried about Chen Dongyan, but there are so many people worried about Chen Dongyan. I I heard that the Xie family also has a legitimate son named Xie Jingli. He grew up with Chen Dongyan. He should be very worried about Chen Dongyan. After hearing the news that Chen Dongyan was alive, he should also want to come over. But Xie Jingli didn't come, but Xie Dan did. You Did you see the way she looked at Chen Dongyan just now? It's not like the way a cousin looks at her cousin, but more like the way a woman looks at her sweetheart."

Mother Tian exclaimed: "No way? I didn't pay attention just now."

Mrs. Ji said: "I hope I am wrong, and I hope I am overthinking."

Tian Mama Kuan explained: "Madam, don't worry, maybe Madam is really overthinking it. As a legitimate son, Xie Jingli will definitely host the facade at home during such a Chinese New Year to welcome the guests. He just wants to come to Bobeiguan, so I can't come, but Sheridan is from a girl's family, so there is no such thing. To put it in perspective, even if Sheridan really likes Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen is already engaged to Miss Yan. Even if she likes him, she can't be his wife. .”

Mrs. Ji frowned and said nothing.

Instead of being a wife, you can still be a concubine.

However, with the status of the Xie family, Sheridan should not be able to become a concubine.

This kind of thing mainly depends on men.

Mrs. Ji felt that Chen Dongyan probably didn't like Sheridan. If he really did, he would have liked it long ago and would have been engaged long ago. How could he put it off until now and let the engagement fall on Ji Yan.

Moreover, after Chen Dongyan and Ji Yan got engaged, Chen Dongyan stayed in Bobiguan to celebrate the New Year because of Ji Yan. In the past few days, Chen Dongyan and Ji Yan got along with each other and took great care of Ji Yan. The two people got along naturally, although they haven't yet After getting married, the pattern of getting along as a couple is obvious.

Mrs. Ji felt that she was overthinking. She believed in Chen Dongyan. Even though Chen Dongyan would still take concubines, he would definitely respect Ji Yan and would not let his concubines bully Ji Yan.

Mrs. Ji said: "I was worrying too much. It's okay. I asked the kitchen to prepare more dishes and remember to add an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Tian’s mother nodded and went to give the instructions herself.

Chen Dongyan took Sheridan to his yard, while Ji Yan was still sitting in his room waiting for him.

As soon as he entered the door, Ji Yan looked over.

Seeing the woman following him, Ji Yan thought, this must be Sheridan.

Ji Yan stood up, but before she spoke or formally greeted her, Chen Dongyan walked over and held her hand.

This action of his was very unusual in the past few days, and Ji Yan didn't think it was anything.

Chen Dongyan himself didn't think anything was wrong, but Sheridan opened his eyes wide and looked in disbelief.

In her impression, Chen Dongyan was aloof, affectionate, and not close to women. He would not be willing to let him hold a woman's hand, or even to spend more time with a woman.

If they really wanted to hold hands, they would probably be forced to do so.

But now, he willingly took the woman's hand, his movements were natural, as if he had been used to it for a long time.

Sheridan knew who this woman was without any introduction.

Ji Yan.

Chen Dongyan's prospective fiancée.

Sheridan's heart ached instantly. It was one thing not to see it, but it was another thing to see it.

Sheridan tried hard not to let his emotions go astray and embarrass her and Chen Dongyan.

Everyone in the Ji Mansion knows that she is Chen Dongyan's cousin. If she loses face here, it will bring trouble to Chen Dongyan.

Sheridan twitched the corners of his lips, a smile appeared on his face, his eyes passed over the hands held by Chen Dongyan and Ji Yan, he looked at Ji Yan, and then spoke to Chen Dongyan: "Cousin, this girl is Ji Yan Are you embarrassed?"

Chen Dongyan let go of his hand, put his arm on Ji Yan's waist, pushed her forward slightly, and introduced: "My fiancée, your future cousin-in-law, Ji Yan."

Then he introduced Ji Yan: "Sheridan, cousin of the Xie family."

Ji Yan smiled and said, "Thank you, cousin."

The emotions in Sheridan's heart were mixed, and she felt that her whole body was numb. She smiled stiffly and said, "When I came here, I was thinking about what my future cousin would look like. Now that I saw it, I was a little surprised. It turns out that my cousin My sister-in-law is so gentle and lovely, and only now do I know that my cousin likes this kind of woman." (End of Chapter)
