Hidden golden branches

Chapter 10 Memories
  Chen Rong didn't understand why Sun Yi looked at her like this.

The jade-like young man in front of him, who had always been high-spirited and energetic, now had a cold and serious handsome face, while those deep and bright eyes that Chen Jia loved most were staring at her sharply and coldly...

Recalling the first time I met Sun Yi, she was still a little girl of six or seven years old. She followed her cousin to her grandfather's house for half a year. After the novelty wore off, she started making noises to go home.

She had just returned home from her maternal grandfather's visit. When she saw a beautiful little brother following her brother, she immediately ran over with her short legs in a hurry.

At that time, she didn't know a few words, so she followed her brother and shouted that she wanted to go to the Sun family to learn reading together.

Chen Zhao, the eldest brother who is five years older than Chen Rong, knelt down and said to her in a good-tempered manner: "Rong'er, be good, can you wait a few years before I take you to study in the government?"

"Not good!" Chen Rong pursed his lips and shook his head.

At this time, the little brother raised his handsome eyebrows and said to Chen Zhao: "My dear brother, your little sister's personality is similar to that of the second sister of Brother She's family. She is lively and cute."

When Chen Rong heard the little brother beside her brother praising her, she felt happy. At the same time, her little temper got angry. She secretly followed her brother and the others while the maid who was waiting for her wasn't paying attention.

Unexpectedly, not long after following, the eldest brother and the others were nowhere to be seen.

She herself walked around and came to a deserted yard, which was considered deserted because no one had lived there for many years, and the weeds were taller than she was at that time. By the time she realized she was lost, it was already too late.

No matter how bold Chen Rong is, she is just a little girl of six or seven years old.

After realizing that he was afraid, he grinned and started crying.

But no matter how she screamed, how could anyone come to save her in this remote abandoned hospital?
  The room was dark, and there were dusty cobwebs all around. Her heart palpitated, and she began to gasp for breath.

Just when she was breathing so hard that her face turned pale and she was worse than dead, young Sun Yi suddenly ran in from outside.

Even though the night was dim and her own wheezing was deafening, she still saw Sun Yi's clear and eager eyes clearly and heard clearly the first words he said to her: "Don't be afraid, I will take you out."

The daughter of the boudoir, because she had little knowledge of men, and Chen Rong was only a child, when she saw him most helpless, the appearance of Sun Yi was undoubtedly the arrival of a savior.

How could she not remember him and be grateful for his kindness?

From then on, all Chen Rong thought about was him, and she kept him in her heart for seven or eight years.

Her parents and brothers at home knew what she was thinking, and her doting aunt, the imperial concubine, begged the emperor to grant them a marriage.

Otherwise, when Chen Rong saw that her sweetheart wanted to go to the frontier to make military exploits but was not qualified, she would not go to the palace and kneel down to beg the imperial concubine.
  So when did Sun Yi start to change towards himself?
  Chen Rong couldn't understand, so she stood there, facing Sun Yi's eyes that seemed to burn her face, and said unbearably: "What do you think of me like this? Do you still want to fight for her?" Scold me? Sun Yi, how dare you?"

Chen Rong's tone was as pale as a paper tiger.

Her face is also pale
  Sun Yi carefully protected the frail woman behind him. Looking at Chen Rong's still domineering appearance, he looked like he could bear it. He held his hands to Chen Rong and said, "I feel ashamed of the county master. Please ask the county chief." Lord, please clarify the facts, show your noble hand, and don't anger other innocent people."

"She is innocent? How is she innocent? You are mine." Chen Rong's words showed unwillingness and grievance, but in exchange for Sun Yi's words, "I really can't take it seriously."

Chen Rong's throat suddenly choked. He looked at Sun Yi's cold and distant face, and then caught a glimpse of Zhang Xiuxi who was holding onto his sleeves and hiding behind him so that she could not see his face. She felt so overwhelmed that she was unwilling to give up.

Sun Yuting stood next to her friend Chen Rong, not impressed by her brother's unkind appearance. Chen Rong wanted to say something else, but Cuizhu behind him called out "Miss!" in a distressed voice.

Chen Rong's slightly opened mouth finally closed, and after taking a deep breath, she took up her identity again, and said in a tone of unwillingness: "People have seen it, Tingting, let's go."

After saying that, Chen Rong walked away with a puff of sleeves.

Sun Yuting watched with complicated eyes how her third brother Sun Yi raised his hand to comfort Zhang Xiuxi, and only left one sentence: "Third brother, the days are long. Let me see if you regret that day."

When Sun Yi heard the word "regret" again, he curled his lips slightly and carefully hugged Zhang Xiuxi and walked slowly towards the village.

Until Chen Rong got into the carriage, she still acted like a princess, pretending to be free and easy.

Sun Yuting scolded Sun Yi and Zhang Xiuxi countless times on her behalf, but she didn't even see a smile on her face.

"Forget it, he is just the person who likes him, not me." Chen Rong said calmly. When he returned to Chen Mansion, he saw Yun Man sitting in the hall with a cold face, then his eyes and nose were red, and he threw himself into Yun Man. In Man's arms, she started to cry.

Yun Man had no idea where she had gone, but he just turned a blind eye and let her hit the wall.

Now that he saw his daughter crying so sadly, he softened his expression, patted Chen Rong on the shoulder and said: "He was the marriage you asked for from the imperial concubine and aunt. Now that he has rejected you based on his ability, you should recognize it." If you don’t have a chance with him, don’t ask for trouble again.”

Returning to Jinxiu Courtyard, Chen Rong issued an order not to allow anyone in the courtyard to mention Sun Yi again.

But if others kept silent about it, it would not make Chen Rong feel any less depressed. She is always frowning all day long, and even the smallest things can make her very unhappy.

Being in a bad mood as the master made the whole Jinxiu courtyard feel very depressed.

Seeing this, Cuizhu couldn't let his young lady become so depressed and harm her physical and mental health.

While feeling sorry for Chen Rong, he suggested: "Miss, why don't you go to the garden to relax."

Cuizhu and Yuzhu are both the maids beside Chen Rong. They are wearing yellow short jackets with blue trim, plain white floral damasks, and a jade lock. Cuizhu has bright eyes, white teeth, and is outstandingly graceful. Qi has been serving Chen Rong since he was a child.

However, Yu Zhu is dressed similarly to Cuizhu, but she was born with a baby face, and her pair of smart black eyes are the most beautiful. Even though she has a baby face, if you look at her vigorous steps, you will know that she is a martial artist.

garden?

I think she planned this garden herself, and it took two months for craftsmen to create the pavilions and pavilions it has today, with rockeries, rocks, and flowers all over the garden.
  Because this garden was built with his own hard work, Chen Rong would go to the garden to admire the flowers and plants while appreciating his own achievements.

Stop by and see if there are any flowers and plants that need to be re-cultivated.

Seeing Chen Rong's frown, Cuizhu relaxed, and happily went to get the Sichuan embroidered butterfly fan and handed it to Chen Rong.

　Chen Rong: You are not allowed to mention that person’s name again.

　　Cuizhu: Yes!
  　　Xiao Zi: Chen Rong was very upset. She liked him for so many years, but in the end, he fell in love with someone else.
