lady, please calm down

Chapter 264 My good fifth brother!
The end of Shen.

Autumn is deep and the days are getting shorter.

When Chen Mansion entered the second house, he saw that the green bamboos around the green hall had become mottled green and yellow.

The dim evening sun reflects up, adding to the sense of desolation and withering.

It is very consistent with Chen Jingyan's state of mind at this time.

"Third brother, I respect you."

In the pavilion where only two people were sitting, Chen Chu raised a glass to invite him. Chen Jingyan looked away from the window, drank a glass with Chen Chu, and said in a waning tone: "I'm afraid that my brother will be treated as a joke outside."

"Third brother, why do you care about other people? You and I just hide in the small building and become one, and don't care about spring, summer, autumn and winter."

Chen Chu's explanation made Chen Jingyan's eyes brighten up, "What a way to hide in a small building and unite! The fifth brother's poem is free and easy."

"Ha ha."

Chen Chu smiled awkwardly and didn't bother to explain. If he said that this poem was written by a poet named Zhou, what would follow would be a series of cross-examinations, "What other famous works does this Mr. Zhou have?"Have you ever been an official?

Chen Jingyan took Chen Chu's performance as self-effacement and couldn't help but said: "Although Yuan Zhang is not good at classics and history, he often writes amazing works in poetry. I think you also read a lot of poetry when you were overseas. Speaking of which, you can be considered a master. One of us readers.”

Chen Jingyan felt that classifying Chen Chu as a scholar was a compliment, but Chen Chu didn't take it seriously.

In the final analysis, even though warriors are now powerful, in Chen Jingyan's heart they are still inferior to scholars.

After chatting for a few words, Chen Chu gradually brought the topic to the ins and outs of this 'prefecture' incident, "Master Zhang said that the back party Qian Shangshu and Wu Shangshu jointly put pressure on Henan Road, and the Lords of Henan Road could not resist it. Only then did I reluctantly agree to Sun Changhao’s appointment.”

Chen Jingyan was speechless. Although the Chen and Wu families came from Yingchuan together, the Wu family is now far more powerful than the Chen family. They are paving the way for their direct descendants. He, Chen Jingyan, is just a small character who was accidentally thrown into the mix. Thinking about it, in Wu Shangshu's eyes , the nephew's father-in-law is naturally not as close as his sister-in-law.

Feeling dejected, Chen Jingyan had a few more drinks, but Chen Chu said sadly: "Third brother, it's just that we didn't plan this well."

"Hey! Don't talk like that, fifth brother. As the saying goes, God decides what you plan and what you do depends on God. Fifth brother has tried his best. Brother Yu knows that. You don't need to blame yourself."

"Thank you, Third Brother, for your understanding. Brother, I have something to say here. After some time, I will seek the position of magistrate for Third Brother, and I will fulfill Third Brother's wish!"

Chen Chu vowed, and Chen Jingyan felt warm in his heart. Under the mingling of multiple emotions, he finally shed tears.

Now everyone else may regard me as a joke, except my fifth brother. He is still worried about my future.

Fifth brother, he is really, I, Old Chen, cried to death
If you have a brother like this, what more can you ask for?
"Come, fifth brother, have three drinks with Brother Yu!"

Chen Jingyan rarely showed his heroic side.

This meal of wine lasted from the end of Shenshi, when the sun turned west, to the end of Haishi late at night.

Chen Jingyan was in a complicated mood, and he hadn't eaten much all day, so he was naturally drunk into a puddle after drinking so much.

Chen Chu, who was also seven points drunk, was about to ask Mao Dan who was guarding the door to carry Chen Tongzhi to the guest room to rest, when he heard that the young lady of the Chen family had come to pick up Chen Jingyan.

Chen Jinyu was led into the small hall, and when she saw her father lying on the desk, his neatly trimmed beard stained with alcohol, she couldn't help feeling heartbroken.

Chen Chu stood up unsteadily and asked curiously: "Why is Ayu here to pick her up? Where is Weiting?"

"Meet uncle."

Chen Jinyu bowed, lowered his head slightly, looked at the ground and said, "Brother was furious when he heard about this, so he went to Wu Yifan to argue with me. My mother cried at home all afternoon, and she just got tired and took a rest."

When Chen Jinyu said this, his nose was sore.

She hasn't been in a good mood recently. Wu Yifan moved into his home after coming to Caizhou. Even though they live in separate homes, the two of them still meet frequently.

Wu Yifan always talked about her openly and secretly every time they met. It probably meant that his daughter's family should not be exposed to the public, and it was only right for her to quit her job at "Caizhou Five Days Talk" and stay in the back house to work as a female worker on weekdays.

Chen Jinyu couldn't help but frown every time she heard it. When she was a child, she thought her brother Wu was quite nice, but recently every time they met, Chen Jinyu couldn't help but choke him after saying a few words to him.

What Ayu dislikes the most is that Wu Yifan thinks he is an educator, and his way of pretending to be profound despite being very superficial.
Chen Jingyan and Tan naturally noticed this situation and scolded her many times in private.

Chen Jingyan only thought that his daughter was spoiled and did not know how to restrain herself in front of her future husband. He often reprimanded her with the phrase "the husband is the guide for the wife".

Under this situation, Chen Jinyu was under great pressure and developed a rebellious mentality, which made her hate Wu Yifan even more.

When Ayu was sleepless at night, she shuddered when she imagined the future life of being trapped in a boudoir without ever leaving the door.

Furthermore, spending a lifetime with the increasingly annoying Wu Yifan was even more unacceptable to her.
This happened again at home today. Ayu felt even more uncomfortable as she felt that Wu Yifan's family was bullying her.

Although he didn't know the twists and turns, Ayu believed that if his uncle was willing to help his family, it would not lead to the current situation.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. With her head lowered, the tears in Ayu's almond-shaped eyes turned into small pearls and fell to the floor drop by drop.

The tears came suddenly. Chen Chu didn't realize why the other party was crying. He couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "Ayu, what's wrong?"

These words were like a fuse, instantly igniting Chen Jinyu, but she suddenly raised her clear, tearful eyes and asked aggrievedly: "Uncle, he is good to the brothers around him, he is good to the soldiers below, he is good to the people, and he is good to the people." Good to the victims, even the timid lady Shen Jiatai is better than Ayu! What did Ayu do wrong? Let uncle treat Ayu so hot and coldly. Uncle relied on Ayu to like uncle, and did everything possible bully me"

"."

Chen Chu first looked back and saw the third brother lying on the table as drunk as a pig.

Outside the door, illuminated by lanterns, two figures were quietly tilting their heads and listening.
At first glance, it’s Baoxi and Maodan!

"Get out!" Chen Chu couldn't help but cursed the two gangsters who were eavesdropping in the corner.

"."

Unexpectedly, Chen Jinyu, who was crying silently, thought that Chen Chu was scolding her, so she burst into tears with a cry, turned around and walked out, not even picking up her father.
Chen Chu hurriedly took a step after him and grabbed Ayu's arm. A daughter who has been scolded by others all the time is still the man she likes.
Ayu swung it a few times, but Chen Chu's hands were like iron pliers. She couldn't get rid of it, "Uncle, let go, why don't you let Ayu go? I won't bore you!"

"No, I was just scolding Mao Dan and Baoxi, they were eavesdropping."

Chen Chu explained, tugged on his hand, and pulled the person into his arms.

After all, she was the daughter who had not left the palace. She heard that her words had been overheard, so she subconsciously glanced at the door and saw two sneaky figures moving further away.

Chen Jinyu couldn't help but believe it, but remembering the months of being anxious day by day and worrying every night, she still cried: "I know, uncle can't look down on Ayu."

"When did I stop looking down on you?"

"Uncle, don't deny it. It's all because Ayu took the initiative to ask uncle to meet in the garden of the official residence. Uncle felt that Ayu didn't love himself and was shameless. Wuwuwu."

"I do not have it."

"Uncle, yes. Otherwise, why would you refuse to see Ayu again after such a long time? Uncle, if you find Ayu annoying, Ayu will never come to see you again."

Chen Jinyu cried more and more painfully.

In the small hall, Chen Jingyan was lying drunk on the table, and Chen Chu was holding Chen Jinyu who was crying. It would be lively if Lao Chen was woken up at this time.

"Ayu, it's not what you said. Have you forgotten? When you and your mother were leaving Caizhou to return to your hometown, you encountered bandits on the way." "Uh" Chen Jinyu, who was in the pear blossoms with rain in his eyes, raised his head, not understanding his uncle. How could Duanduan mention this, but then he realized that he was being held in Chen Chu's arms, and he forgot to answer for a moment.

So, Chen Chu explained to himself: "I arranged that bandit."

"."

The smart eyes, which were still covered with a layer of mist, suddenly opened wide. Ayu raised her head and opened her mouth slightly, unable to react.

She naturally understood what her uncle meant. His uncle arranged for bandits to block the mother and daughter's return, just to keep her in Caizhou!

It turns out that it’s not just because I shaved my head and picked a hot one!

In Ayu's heart, her uncle was a great hero, but knowing that he had done such sneaky things to keep her in Caizhou did not affect her uncle's image in her mind.

On the contrary, she felt that her uncle also had the side of "He Yibai can make steel and turn it into softness around his fingers".

You spent so much thought on me.

For a moment, the small room that had been empty since returning from Tokyo was filled with surprises and excitement of "going in both directions".

On her beautiful face that was looking up, she could no longer hold herself tight, revealing a sweet smile that she couldn't hold back.

The remaining tears on her cheeks slid down smoothly and rolled into the dimples that had just appeared.

The pear vortex is full of tears, which is also intoxicating.

The drunken Chen Chu almost drowned in it.

Chen Chu lowered his head, and Chen Jinyu ducked back subconsciously. Then she understood what her uncle meant, and took a careful look at her father who was mumbling drunken words, and then slowly closed her eyes.

The cheeks that were deliberately raised were blushing, and the breathing became rapid involuntarily.

Compared to the hasty quarrel in Tokyo half a year ago, Chen Jinyu gave a jerky and clumsy response this time.

Half of the remaining tears in the dimples continue to wind down and flow to the lips
The slightly salty tears lingered between their lips and teeth.

Nowadays, bickering is not as ubiquitous as it was in later generations, and is mostly seen only in the boudoir.

Bickering is just a way of setting the stage for what's to come.

Chen Chu's hands habitually moved around Chen Jinyu's body.

Ayu's body stiffened and she didn't stop him at first. It wasn't until the latter's big hand entered his clothes that she quickly grabbed Chen Chu's wrist. Then she pushed Chen Chu away and said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito, "I can't do it here."

What she said was not that it couldn't be done, but that it couldn't be done here.

Indeed, Dad is still there.

The fuzzy Chen Chu reacted half a beat slower than usual. He hadn't yet understood what Ayu meant, but he heard someone shouting loudly like a warning: "Oh, someone is here! My boss is having a drink with Chen Tongzhi inside." "

Immediately afterwards, there was Cui Yuan's confused voice, "Maodan, why are you shouting at the top of your lungs? My ears hurt!"

Inside the room, the two of them suddenly separated, and Chen Jinyu hurriedly tidied up her slightly messy clothes.

After a few breaths, Maoer opened the door and entered.

Seeing the scene inside the house, I couldn't help but be startled.

Chen Jingyan was drunk like a dog, and his officials stood by the window as if watching the night view of Caizhou. Chen Jinyu stood very far away from him. After seeing Mao'er, he quickly bowed and said obediently: "Ayu has seen people ."

Everything else was fine, but the blush on Ayu's face would not fade away in a short time.

Mao'er saw the clues at just one glance, and then smiled faintly and said, "Ayu is here to take dad home, right? I've already had someone prepare the carriage, please help me carry Chen Tongzhi on his back."

"." As a marquis, is it appropriate for me to carry someone on my back?

"Maodan, carry Chen Tongzhi onto the carriage."

Chen Chu gave an order, but Mao'er pursed his lips and smiled, "Official, Mao Dan and Bao Xi are very careless, what if Chen Tongzhi falls? I'd like to help you, officer, please carry it on your back."

"Uh, okay." Chen Chu responded, feeling guilty.

He guessed that the cat was deliberately tiring him, implying that he needed to wipe his butt by himself?
However, I didn’t see any hint on Mao’er’s smiling face.
Night, midnight.

Chen Jinyu sent her father to the government office to rest.

Mom and Dad had a fight today. Now that the family has moved from Four Seasons Garden to Summer Cui Garden again, everything is in a mess. It's better to stay in the check-in room for one night.

The night watchman helped carry Chen Jingyan into the room. Ayu took off her father's boots and asked for hot water to wipe her father's face.

The carriage was bumpy on the road, and Chen Jingyan, half drunk and half awake, couldn't help but mutter, "Fifth brother, what a good fifth brother. Third brother is lucky that fifth brother never abandons him, wuwu"

After muttering for a while, he would cry twice.

Chen Jingyan rarely gets drunk like this, at least this is the first time for Ayu, his daughter, to see him.

When a person reaches middle age and his career is frustrated, he resorts to drinking to drown his sorrows. This is a scene that would make his family sigh and feel distressed. However, Chen Jinyu couldn't help but chuckled and said: "Dad, I know! I know that my uncle is well. You have already muttered All the way”

Someone started talking to him, Chen Jingyan closed his eyes and continued talking drunkenly, "Good fifth brother, my good fifth brother, if brother Yu succeeds in his ambition, if the fifth brother wants anything more, brother Yu will give it to you."

Ayu, who was wiping his father's hands, was startled. He looked at his unconscious father. After a long silence, he finally asked cautiously, "Dad, if uncle wants Ayu, will you give it too?"

Chen Jingyan, who didn't even know his last name, waved his hand, closed his eyes and said, "Give it, give it all."

Chen Jinyu's smart almond eyes rolled around, stood up and walked to the desk.

Spread paper, grind, bury your head, and write.
'I have a daughter in my family, she is twenty-eight years old, her face is beautiful and she is gentle.
I am willing to have a good relationship with Yuan Zhang for a hundred years, and the contract will be a covenant, and neither of us will rebel.'

After a while, the eloquent marriage contract of more than a hundred words was completed.

Chen Jinyu's heart was pounding. She dried the ink on the deed and quietly walked back to her father with a box of ink pad.

Chen Jingyan, who had just stopped snoring loudly, was already snoring loudly.
"Daddy, Daddy"

After calling twice and getting no response, Chen Jinyu simply grabbed her father's thumb, dipped it in red ink mud, and pressed the lower left corner of the deed.
This scene seems familiar.

That was how the deed of sworn friendship between the five people was completed.

Now, it's like this again.
This is Lao Chen’s fate!
"My good fifth brother"

Chen Jingyan, who was sleeping soundly, murmured in his sleep.
