Mu Huagui

Chapter 103 Amazing Secret

"Miss, you are back." Cherry went forward, looked around, and said in a low voice, "Mother Wang is here, waiting for you."

Chen Jiao'er frowned, it seemed that she couldn't wait any longer.When I saw Ms. Wang, she was sitting with Mrs. Su, chatting with each other.Seeing Chen Jiao'er standing up suddenly, she looked at her excitedly.

"Mother Wang, don't come here without any problems." Chen Jiao'er also wanted to ask Aunt Su to find out how Mama Wang was doing, but unexpectedly, she couldn't wait to come to the door.

Seeing Chen Jiao'er, who had been separated for several months, return to the capital with such an honor, Mama Wang's heart was beating all the time.On the one hand, it is joy, and on the other hand, it is fear.

The happy thing is that Chen Jiao'er is no longer a commoner and weak woman, and she has more power with her identity. The fear is that with such an identity, will Chen Jiao'er still think the same as before.

As if seeing Mama Wang's doubts, Chen Jiao'er said, "Mama Wang can rest assured, if your mind has not changed, Jiao'er's mind will also be the same."

"The old man was killed by the old man." Madam Wang said outrageously, the room was silent all of a sudden, all of them were terrified by this explosive news.

"Can I get the evidence?" Disobedience is a serious crime, ranging from being dismissed from office to losing his life, Chen Desheng is obviously guilty of the most serious crime.

Mother Wang shook her head, "The old lady was dissatisfied with the arrangement of the old lady because of Miss Chen's murder. He said that the things should be handed over to the emperor. If the old lady wears a pair of pants with the king of Xian County, he will deal with the old lady according to the family law."

"Then that night, the old man fell ill in the study, and died before the doctor came. The old man came back in the middle of the night that night. He entered the yard in the front, and the person who reported the matter came in the back."

According to Chen Desheng's character, it's not surprising that he did such a thing.Chen Jiao'er nodded. It seems that the death of the old man of the Chen family was probably related to him.It's a pity that there is no evidence, otherwise, just relying on this one, he will surely die without a place to bury him.

Chen Jiao'er discussed with Madam Wang again, and asked Aunt Su to send her out of the house through the back door.

"Miss, why are you so happy?" Aunt Su and Cherry avoided the conversation just now, so naturally they didn't know the result of their discussion.

"I've seen a good show recently." Chen Jiao'er scratched her nose with a smile, "Why didn't I see licorice."

Chen Jiao'er felt that Licorice really wanted to leave the palace with her, so she praised her for being good at combing her hair in front of the Empress Dowager.Sure enough, when she left the palace, Aunt Fu sent her to her house.

"Licorice is learning embroidery from Mrs. Su. She is really capable. The servant has failed to learn it several times. She was praised by Mrs. Su as soon as she started."

"Cherry is two years older than me. She is a girl of seventeen. Have you ever thought about your future life and how you want to live it?" Thinking of Zhou Mingyuan's proposal, when she saw Cherry at the gate just now, she My first thought was that the cherries were too big.

"Slave maid, of course this servant is serving Miss. Miss, don't you want Cherry? If you have a capable girl, you don't want me. Miss, you said that no matter how stupid Cherry is, she will never dislike Cherry." Cherry was so anxious that she burst into tears. It fell down with a bang.

Aunt Su came back to see this scene, and asked with a smile, "Is this the one that was sung, flooding Jinshan Temple?"

"Miss..." Cherry pouted aggrievedly.

Chen Jiao'er said to Aunt Su, "I'm talking about the cherry, she's seventeen this year, if I don't make arrangements, it's my negligence as the master."

"Hehe, this is a good thing. This girl, I'm afraid she is shy, let me tell her." Aunt Su pulled her face and said "shua", the cherry turned red all of a sudden, and went outside to whisper.

Thinking of Chen Daren, Chen Jiao'er unconsciously pursed her lips into a smile, she was really slow, a match made in heaven was right in front of her eyes.If Zhou Mingyuan's marriage proposal hadn't reminded her, she probably wouldn't be able to remember that there is still a couple around her who needs her to make decisions.

"The eldest lady and the second lady of the Chen family handed over a post, saying that they will come over tomorrow to return the dowry to the young lady's mother." Cherry talked and laughed with Aunt Su yesterday, but she didn't know what would happen in the end.Aunt Su said to let Cherry serve for another year, and bring out two maids to remarry.

"Heh, since you want to come, let's come." Chen Jiao'er knew that the Chen family would not cut off contact with her easily, but she never expected that she could do this.

Aunt Su accepted the post, and seeing the lady beckoning her to sit down, she also sat down with a smile and said, "Miss, what else can I order."

"What does Da Niang think of Cherry, and Daren?"

"I watched Cherry grow up. She has a straight gut and a bit of a temper, but she couldn't be more kind-hearted. Daren is even better. He doesn't talk much, but he has ideas in his heart. Most importantly, he will never bully Cherry. Aunt Su thought that the young lady was worried about their future relationship, so she hurriedly said.

"I want Cherry to be freed from slavery, and I will accept my aunt as a goddaughter, so that you can live a happy life with them in the future." Chen Jiaoer knew that as long as Aunt Su was by her side, she would worry about one thing after another. Seeing that the aunt is getting older, she hopes that everyone around her can have a good home.

"Miss thinks that my mother is old, so she won't help me take care of my old age." It's not that Aunt Su doesn't want to accept Cherry as her goddaughter, but she just heard Miss's intention that she won't be needed anymore. The loss in her heart can only be imagined. Know.

"How could it be? Mom misunderstood." Chen Jiao'er simply walked over and held Aunt Su's hand firmly. "Mom always hoped that I could have a good home and live a happy life. I agree with the same reason. I also hope that you I can have a good home. You have been by my side all the time, and you live in fear every day. This is all I can give you. No wonder you still want to make me regret such a small thing. "

"Miss." Aunt Su's tears couldn't stop falling, she was relieved and sad at the same time.

At the age of fourteen or fifteen, this is the age of carefree embroidering at home and waiting to be married.The more the lady has to worry about the affairs of the whole family, how can she not be moved by remembering these servants.

Chen Jiao'er asked Cherry alone again, she was full of joy, and she was very close to Aunt Su since she was a child, not like father and mother.That night, a banquet was held in Lu's mansion, and they made a lively acquaintance with their relatives.

That night, Aunt Su and Chen Jiaoer left Chen Daren alone to talk. Chen Jiaoer smiled and said, "Cherry is 17 years old this year. I discussed with Aunt Su about choosing a good marriage for her. She will leave her citizenship sooner or later. The slaves are definitely not worthy. I think you have seen a lot of people outside, so you might as well help us find out, if there is a suitable candidate, we will look good."

Chen Daren had a pale face, and when he walked out with a dazed stare, the young lady's words kept rolling in his head, "I'll leave you to pick a good marriage for Cherry." The steps under his feet became heavier and heavier, as if they were filled with lead. heavy.

Aunt Su was puzzled, "Didn't Miss want to be with him? Why didn't you just say it."

"If we ask, no matter whether he likes cherries or not, he will not refuse. If he doesn't really like cherries, what's the point of being together. If he really likes, he will find a way to beg us by himself. There are hundreds of women in the family. We can't let us open our mouths and give him cherries." Chen Jiao'er pursed her lips and smiled, this could be regarded as a little test for him.If you don't have this bit of courage, how can you bring happiness to Cherry in the future.

In the early morning of the next day, the eldest lady and the second lady who arrived as promised looked at the three dowry boxes brought in by the servants, and said, "It is also a little thought left by your mother. Back then, she often came to the old lady to fulfill her filial piety." , otherwise the old lady would not have taken you into the mansion when you were lonely and helpless."

The second lady's every word is telling Chen Jiao'er that no matter how proud you are now, you have received the favor of the Chen family. We will remind you of this from time to time, but don't forget it.

Just as Chen Jiao'er was about to speak, Licorice stepped forward and reported, "Miss, Aunt Chen from Xian County Prince's Mansion is outside the gate, is it..."

For door-to-door customers, especially those from such large households, they always hand in the post in advance and make an appointment to come back again.Suddenly running to someone else's house as a guest, if it is not urgent, will be regarded as impolite, or they will look down on the host's house because of their own status.

Naturally, the concierge couldn't be the master, so Licorice reported to the young lady, and looked at the eldest lady and the second lady in embarrassment. Aunt Chen is the eldest lady's concubine, so I don't know if it was an appointment.

"Oh, please come in." Chen Jiao'er had no choice but to say.

Chen Qihong is wearing a sea and sky blue summer blouse with eight yellow skirts embroidered with plum blossoms. The golden steps on her head are about to hang down to her ears, and the gold bracelets on her hands are also full of weight. Everyone has to pay attention to the rings when she walks in. to her.

"I didn't expect my mother to be here, my daughter is being polite." When Chen Qihong saw the two wives, she stepped forward and saluted one by one.The eldest lady was very uncomfortable. She gave birth to a son last year and was forced by her husband to go to the palace to give gifts.Seeing that Chen Qihong was full of style and dressed no less than her wife of a third-rank official, she was not in a good mood when she returned.

It was Mama Wang who explained that Qiluo is now a beauty in the palace, and she is not sure where she is higher than her in terms of status, so she calmed down.

Seeing her again now, I couldn't help but feel blocked.He raised his eyelids to look at her, and responded with a "hmm".The second lady smiled and said, "Brother Ye is already over half a year old. I heard that the prince loves being born white and fat. You are willing to leave such a small child at home. The nanny can tell you everything."

"Second Auntie Xie's concern, and I have explained everything. The prince and princess know that I am coming out, and the princess even specially sent a carriage to take me here." Hearing the mention of her precious son, Chen Qihong also showed a sincere smile.

"Sister Jiao'er has a different identity now, and she couldn't get invited after several postings, so I had to come and see my sister. Who told me that my sister was thinking about my sister?" Chen Qihong sat opposite the eldest lady, tilted her head, and rushed Looking at Chen Jiao'er, he laughed.

"Before I was in the Hall of Compassion, and I didn't dare to go in and out of the palace at will, so as not to disturb the Empress Dowager. Later, I moved again, and there are still a lot of things that have not been settled, and I haven't made time to see my sister." Chen Jiao'er couldn't figure it out. Her intention of coming was casually perfunctory.
