Hidden golden branches

Chen Rong also liked this straightforward sister-in-law, so she quickly reached out to take it, and when she opened it, she saw a pair of hollow gold bracelets inlaid with white jade. With a fond smile on her little face, she said, "I like my sister-in-law's expense very much." After saying that, he waved to Cuizhu who was standing in the corner and handed her the rosewood jewelry box inlaid with mother-of-pearl.

Seeing this, Chen Zhao glanced at his sister with approval.

Chen Rongyi looked back at her eldest brother and made a face with the corners of her mouth bent.

Yun Man, who is sitting high in the leadership, has been paying attention to his two children. He is very pleased to see his children getting along with each other as always.

Cui Yinyin waved to another girl, Yu'er, to bring the greeting gifts prepared by her mother-in-law to her nephews and nieces one by one.

The nephews all had a jade pendant and a pair of small gold pins. Chen Yao was excited to see a pair of small gold pins in the hands of his little cousin Chen Xian. Before Cui Yinyin could give him the gift, he grabbed it from Cui Yinyin. When I took it, I didn’t forget to say: “Thank you, sister-in-law.”

Chen Yao's move made everyone laugh.

While Mrs. Fang was laughing along with everyone, she did not forget to curse in a low voice: "You are a shallow person."

Come to think of it, even a ten-year-old boy is still petty. I don’t know how Mrs. Lu usually educates him.

Girls all wear a beaded hoop with colored ribbons threaded with pearls and hung between their foreheads. Very beautiful.

The wedding ceremony was completely different from what she had imagined. The atmosphere was harmonious and it ended peacefully.

After Chen Zhao got married, he took his daughter-in-law Cui Yinyin to Yuzhou with him after the homecoming ceremony was over three days later.

At dawn, Chen Rong, with tears in his eyes, took them to the pavilion ten miles outside the city gate, and then reluctantly waved goodbye.

Today coincides with the imperial meeting. Ji Yuxian hurriedly went back to the court, changed into regular clothes, and rode to Chen's house. He knew that his friend was leaving Beijing for Yuzhou today, so he rushed over to see him off. When we arrived, we realized that Chen Zhao was already on his way.

So, he said goodbye to Yun Man, who had red eyes, and rode towards the city gate.

Unexpectedly, after leaving the city gate, I saw the carriage with the Chen Mansion logo slowly approaching.

Ji Yuxian reined in the horse and asked loudly to the carriage: "Is Rongrong in the carriage?"

The mellow and clear voice reached the ears of Chen Rong, who was crying. He immediately woke up from the sorrow of parting. He handed the copper hand stove with plum blossom patterns in his hand to Cuizhu, opened the thick tapestry curtains, and peeked out. He raised his head and looked forward, eh, it was really Ji Yuxian.

Ji Yuxian wore a black robe embroidered with gold and a cloak also embroidered with gold. Under the morning sunshine, some cloud patterns were faintly revealed. He looked tall and heroic.

Ji Yuxian threw the horse's reins to Qingfeng, who was following behind, and got on the carriage with one step of his long legs.

Cuizhu hurriedly put the heater in Chen Rong's hand, lowered her body and said to Ji Yuxian, "Good morning, Your Majesty." Then she quickly got off the carriage.

The driver today is Lao Li. Lao Li is a big smoker and he also smells of tobacco juice.

Therefore, Cuizhu didn't want to sit with him, so she might as well run behind the carriage.

Qingfeng was riding on the horse, holding Ji Yuxian's black panther with one hand. Seeing Cuizhu trotting behind the carriage, he stopped in a hurry. When Cuizhu arrived, he asked kindly: "Can Miss Cuizhu ride a horse?"

Cuizhu, who was speeding up his pace and trying to keep up with the carriage, heard the sound, stopped and gasped: "I don't know how to ride, thank you." After saying that, he started to chase the carriage again.

"Hey." Cuizhu, who was trying hard to run behind the carriage, suddenly felt his body light up and his eyes blurred. The breeze lifted her by the collar and put her in front of him.

Cuizhu suddenly stiffened, and behind him, his slightly cold masculine aura instantly surrounded her whole body.

His breath was filled with the cool breath of his body.

His warm breath lingered on her delicate neck, making it feel numb. She could even feel the strong heartbeat in his heart... Cuizhu's whole body froze completely.

He froze and insisted on waiting until he entered the city, then twisted his clothes to get off the horse.

It was also the first time for Qingfeng to ride a horse with a woman. Needless to say, he was very cautious and not used to it.

Seeing Cuizhu about to dismount, he quickly reined in the horse and put her down.

The horse came under the green bamboo, and he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his whole body relaxed.

Saying goodbye to Qingfeng, he turned around and walked in the direction of Chen's mansion.

Qingfeng just rode a horse with someone for the first time, and she was holding her master's horse with her other hand. Therefore, she was not very fast and could not catch up with the carriage in front of her.

He hesitated in his heart, not knowing whether to go to the Chen Mansion or go back to the Duke An Guo Mansion.
Seeing the little girl trotting in front of me, I thought I'd better go to Chen's Mansion first.

The corruption case of officials in Mengcheng, which is close to the western border, has come to an end. Those who should be beheaded should be decapitated, and their homes should be confiscated and exiled.

Zhang Xiuxi actually gave Zhang Xiuyuan a bad idea and asked her to seek help from Jiahe County Lord Chen Rong.

It is said that Chen Rong was not only loved by the imperial concubine, but his future husband-in-law was also extremely powerful.

Zhang Xiuyuan was in a hurry and sought medical treatment. She actually listened to Zhang Xiuxi's words and threw herself in front of Chen Rong's carriage when Chen Rong was out.

Thanks to Zhang Xiuxi's experience, whenever they go out, Lao Li and Song Lin, who are driving, will be careful and look in all directions for fear of hitting someone.

"County Lord, please save my husband-in-law!" Zhang Xiuyuan knelt down in front of Chen Rong's carriage and begged.

When Chen Rong heard the reason, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Since I am neither an official nor a woman, how can I go to inquire about the case?
Furthermore, she also heard that the emperor had made a decision in this case.

Not to mention that she went to ask about it as a woman, even the high officials in the court had no right to mention it again.

Because she knew the truth. Regardless of the past dynasties, what the emperor hated most were corrupt officials.

What about officials at the border?
It is not a trivial matter for officials there to be greedy. Officials are greedy and can easily be bribed.

If the enemy bribes you with money, how can you repay it?
Needless to say, the emperor would definitely deal with corruption cases involving officials in border states and cities strictly.

Chen Rong could only say to Zhang Xiuyuan: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry that the county master is helpless."

But Chen Rong was kind-hearted, and felt pitiful when he saw the woman kneeling in front of the carriage, as if she would die if he didn't help her.

I can only take a step back and say: "Let me go back and find out for you. If it doesn't work, don't be discouraged. You have to think about yourself and your family and don't do stupid things."

Later, Yu Zhu got out of the carriage and helped Zhang Xiuyuan up, took her to a roadside vendor, and borrowed a low stool for her to sit down and relax.

Songlin had already dispersed the people who had come to watch the excitement. When he saw Yuzhu sending people away, he quickly got on the carriage. After Yuzhu got on the carriage, he raised his whip and with a sound of 'drive', the carriage rumbled forward. .

After Chen Rong took Songlin to inquire about the news, he learned that Zhang Xiuyuan's husband-in-law was guilty of an unforgivable crime.

Chen Rong: The second brother went out to travel, and the eldest brother went out again. It felt uncomfortable.
