stormy clouds

This is Chang Luoyun's second visit to Chang's yard.

It was completely different from Pei Shi's slow treatment when she came back for the first time. This time, without Pei Shi, everyone treated her carefully and courteously.

Without Linshui Residence and Yincui Pavilion, Chang Luoyun was arranged to live in the East Courtyard where Han Shi used to live.

There is no one living in the inner courtyard of Chang's family, and with the layoff of a few maids, it becomes even more deserted.

Jiang arranged the meals for the girls in the east courtyard.

Just after Chang Luoyun finished washing, Jiang Shi had asked the kitchen to bring out Chang Luoyun's favorite dishes. For the sake of auspiciousness, Jiang Shi had specially asked the kitchen to make Sixi meatballs.

The three sisters Chang Luohong, Chang Luoxia, and Chang Luoyu accompanied Chang Luoyun to eat at the same table, while Jiang shi ate some casually and was busy arranging things for tomorrow.

"Yun'er, you sisters are all here today, and you sisters will talk later, so you don't have to worry about the rest."

"Auntie is troubled." Chang Luoyun thanked Jiang Shi, lowered his head and ate quietly.

Jiang looked at the girls who looked like flowers, and felt sour. When he was a child, he looked forward to growing up, and when he grew up, he wanted to marry a good family. After marrying, this girl is no longer his family.

When Jiang went out, Chang Luoxia picked up a Sixi meatball and ate it, "These meatballs are pretty good, big sister, you should also eat some."

Chang Luohong smiled and said: "This is specially made for the fourth younger sister, maybe the second younger sister should also be happy."

There was a blush on Chang Luoxia's face, "Big sister, this dish is for people to eat on the table, so how to eat and what to eat?"

Chang Luohong deliberately teased her, "This dish is for people to eat, but the table is full of dishes, why did the second sister just pick up these Sixi meatballs?"

Hearing their jokes, Chang Luoyun felt a little envious of the relationship between their sisters.

Just after eating, Chang Sheng came over and invited Chang Luoyun to the study.

Chang Pu was already waiting there, and when he saw Chang Luoyun, he twitched his beard and sat behind the desk, "Yun'er, you sit too."

Chang Luoyun sat down and didn't speak, just waiting for Chang Pu to speak.

Chang Pu sighed, "Yun'er, I know you blame me in your heart, but now, the Pei family has been punished as it should be, and your grandmother and Auntie can feel at ease now that they are under the Nine Springs."

"I don't know if my grandmother and Auntie are worried, but is father at ease?" Chang Luoyun looked at Chang Pu calmly and said.

Chang Pu stood up suddenly, before he stood up straight, he sat down slowly, "What else do you want, do you want to pay your grandmother and mother's life for your father?"

"My daughter didn't dare, but my father asked himself, could it be that Mrs. Pei was the only one who was wrong in this matter, and you were not wrong?"

Chang Pu stared at Chang Luoyun for a long time, before saying: "Your mother is indeed wronged, this time when you get married, I sold the yard as a dowry to you, in fact, it is to make up for what the Chang family owes to your mother. You, this matter, don't mention it again in the future."

Chang Luoyun did not speak.

"I called you here today to tell you that I will ask Wen Yun to take you to Lindu tomorrow."

Seeing that Chang Luoyun had no objection, Chang Pu continued: "He has been in your uncle's private school, Qingzhou is no better than Lindu, if Marquis Changping can find a better husband for him, then let Wen Yun stay Lindu, after all, he will be leaving next year."

"If that's the case, he doesn't have to go." Chang Luoyun flatly refused.

Chang Puwan didn't expect her to be so merciless, he held his breath in his chest, blowing his beard and staring blankly, speechless.

"I just married to the Hou's Mansion, and my father asked me to beg Changping Hou. How do you let others see me and the Chang family?"

Chang Luoyun didn't care about Chang Pu's ugly face, "Besides, Wen Yun's aptitude is average. In the past few years, my uncle's father has taught himself, and I haven't seen him excel. If I still haven't made progress, wouldn't people say that my Chang family doesn't have a good son?"

Chang Pu language knot.

That's the reason, but if he married a daughter and set up a yard, if there was no benefit at all, it would be a big loss.

"Then speak slowly." Chang Pu said: "Let Wen Yun take you to Lindu tomorrow. I heard that you also have a courtyard in Lindu. Why don't you let him stay with you for a while longer? Open your eyes."

Chang Luoyun thought of that melancholy and weak young man, and shyly called her sister, but did not speak.

Chang Pu said some more about honoring his mother-in-law when he came to the Marquis of Changping, so he stopped talking.

"This trip is far away from Qingzhou, and I will have to rely on myself in the future," Chang Pu finally felt a little sad. This is the first daughter he married. She was with the beautiful family half a year ago, and now she is dead. To die, to walk away, even if the heart is hard-hearted, it is inevitable that there will be a bit of sadness in this situation.

Chang Pu lowered his head and waved his hands, and Chang Luoyun came out of the study.

Entering the inner courtyard, the previously lively courtyard is now empty, and with the lush trees, it looks even more lonely.

After Chang Luoyun walked for a while, he saw a figure in a moon-white robe standing under the tree in front of him. The wide robe covered his body, making him look taller and thinner.

"Father, don't take it to heart." Chang Wenyun was a little embarrassed, "When you get there, as long as you live well, don't worry about me."

"Do you know what father asked me for?" Chang Luoyun asked.

"Yesterday my father asked me to come over and told me to go to Lindu. In fact, Lindu is too cold. Qingzhou is not as good. I don't like it." The young man's eyes were cold.

Chang Luoyun looked at him for a while, "I don't think you are suitable for Lindu. If you want, you can learn how to do business."

"Father won't agree," Chang Wenyun was a little sad, "In this family, no one can do whatever they want."

Chang Luoyun said indifferently: "Although you can't do whatever you want, you can choose the life you like. If not, wouldn't you be living someone else forever in this lifetime."

Chang Wenyun let out a sigh of relief. From the day he was born, he was the bargaining chip for his mother to live a decent life in the Chang family, and he was the son of the Chang family that his father placed high hopes on.

His father hoped that he would gain fame and glory, but he was really not the material for studying. Although he had put in so much effort, he still couldn't write beautiful articles.

"There is not only one way to go in this world," Chang Luoyun said, "If you can change the way you like, wouldn't this life be much more interesting?"

"But, father"

"The key is whether you want it or not?"

Chang Wenyun raised his head and looked at the face of the woman in front of him, as if he wanted to find courage from it.

"Can I?" He quivered his lips.

Chang Luoyun's ancient well was silent, he looked at him and didn't speak.

Chang Wenyun bit his lips, "I want to go, I want to learn how to do business." He said suddenly.

For so many years, he has been obedient, living in the expectations of others, and never dared to resist.Now, he wants to be self-willed once and be the master for himself.

If you know that the road in front of you is hopeless, why can't you choose another road to make your life better.

Chang Wenyun made up his mind, "I am willing to learn how to do business."

Chang Luoyun nodded, "You don't have to send me to Lindu tomorrow. After I leave, you can go directly to Jishun's pawn shop to find Uncle Yanqing. I will make arrangements in advance."

Chang Wenyun was slightly startled, and Chang Luoyun looked up at the sky. In Qingzhou in early autumn, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the sky became bluer and bluer.

She bent her lips, "Learning to do business may not make you proud of your ancestors, but at least it can keep you well-fed for the rest of your life."

Chang Luoyun said indifferently: "You don't want to be selfish and vain like him. You are obviously nothing, but you still feel that you are good at everything, and make people close to him miserable."

Before Chang Wenyun could figure out the meaning of this sentence, Chang Luoyun had already turned around and left.
