Hidden golden branches

Yun Man looked up at her daughter, who seemed to have grown up overnight, and sighed secretly: The child has grown up, and she has grown old too!

Knowing that my daughter was tired today, I asked her to go back and rest first.

"Mom, you promised your daughter before that you would bring the pine forest back." Seeing that this was an excellent opportunity to ask for her mother's hand in marriage, Chen Rong pleaded in a soft voice.

Yun Man didn't expect her daughter to make such a request, so she thought about it and let it go.

I promised her before that I would just do whatever she wants.

Song Lin has followed his daughter since she was a child and served as her bodyguard.

With him, his daughter feels at ease when she goes out, and no one can bully her.

As long as he doesn't do what he did last time by pretending to be a bandit.

Besides, Songlin is Grandma Li’s son after all. She doesn’t look at the monk’s face to look at the Buddha’s face, so she should take him back from the village no matter what, so as not to make Grandma Li sad.

The most important thing is that Yun Man wants to experience Song Lin and make him more calm and responsible.

In the future, the burden of being the housekeeper of the Chen family will fall on him.

"It's okay for Songlin to come back, but you can't do anything that scares my mother. Otherwise, Songlin won't be beaten and sent to the village as punishment, but his legs will be broken and sold out! Rong'er, what are you doing? Do you know?" Yun Man said in a deep tone.

She was trying to beat her daughter, who could not get into her eyes, and was deeply afraid that she would get into trouble again when she was impulsive.

"Okay, Mom, don't worry, my daughter will never do anything like that to worry her parents again." Chen Rong held Yun Man's sleeves with her little hand and shook them, doing her usual actions, coquettishly with Yun Man. .

"Okay, I'll ask Uncle De to go to Zhuangzi in a few days to bring him back." Yun Man's heart was shaken by his precious daughter. What else can't he agree to?

"Mom, Uncle De is old, why bother him to go to Zhuangzi? It's better to ask Dong Lin to go to Zhuangzi tomorrow to bring Songlin back."

Uncle De is a long-term attendant of my father. How can he have time to go to Zhuangzi to pick up Songlin?

I don’t know how long it will take until Uncle De is free.

Besides, Donglin was also punished. He didn't get as many blows as Songlin, and his injuries were almost healed. He and Song Lin are as close as brothers, so it would be best to ask him to pick up Song Lin.

Yun Man nodded in agreement: "Well, then just ask Dong Lin to pick him up."

Hehe, it’s great to have Pinewood back.

To be honest, Chen Rong, who loves to go out, would be a little helpless if he didn't have someone by his side who could protect him.

Although Yuzhu can learn martial arts, he still feels at ease without Songlin by his side.

Chen Rong came out of Fuyi Hall and was still digesting what her mother told her.

Brother Ji is here to propose marriage!

It's really unexpected.

No wonder these days, whenever she goes out, she rarely misses him.

I thought Dali Temple didn’t have much official business nowadays!

As soon as she walked out of the courtyard of Fuyi Hall with her thoughts on her mind, a person jumped out of the green banana bushes beside the wall, and her voice was clear: "Sister!"

Chen Rong was startled, covering his chest, looking at the person with wide eyes, and said angrily: "Second brother, you scared me to death!"

The visitor was none other than Chen An. He had noticed earlier that Mrs. An Guogong was muttering something to his aunt, and then saw that his aunt had left Chen Rong alone. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he squatted here and waited.

These days, since my aunt punished her younger sister and the servants in her yard, it was strange to see Chen Rong's mood improve. Is it possible that my sister is really thinking about it?

If that's the case, I'm really happy for her.

A man like that is not worthy of his sister, so don’t let him go!

"Rong'er, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, second brother didn't want to scare you." Chen An scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, then came forward and asked curiously: "Rong'er, what did mother leave you for? ?" Thinking of what her mother said just now, Chen Rong's cheeks turned red and hesitantly said, "No, it's nothing, I just asked my sister to go back and rest... By the way, second brother, why are you here? The banquet is over, You should go back to the academy to study."

Chen An saw her blushing and avoiding her eyes, and her heart became clear.

My sister's marriage must have been decided.

If so, my sister can marry that Ji Yuxian, what a talented and beautiful woman, what a perfect match!

In other words, only a young talent like Ji Yuxian can be worthy of his little sister.

Seeing Chen Rong's vague and perfunctory expression, Chen An looked at his little appearance and fondly touched her head and said, "In that case, Rong'er should go back and rest early. I'll take you with me when I take a bath as my brother." Let’s go to Cuixianlou to eat grilled lamb chops.”

"Okay!" Chen Rong readily agreed when he saw that he was going to eat delicious food.

There is good food to eat, and you would be a fool not to go.

The two brothers and sisters were walking and chatting. They happened to reach the fork in the road between Beiyuan and Nanyuan. Chen Rong greeted his second brother and ran away with Cuizhu and Yuzhu.

Chen An looked at Chen Rong's leaving figure, rubbed his chin, and was pleased: "My sister has finally regained her liveliness like a little girl."

What appeared before his eyes was another beautiful little girl.

However, if you want to achieve your wish, you will not be able to achieve your goal by taking the literary and imperial examination.

Because his father is already a senior member of the first rank, and his eldest brother is also a member of the etiquette department of the fifth rank, and the eldest brother has a lot of room for promotion.

Even if he passes the imperial examination the year after tomorrow and becomes the number one scholar in high school, he can only stay in the Hanlin Academy.

You can't have three people in your family holding high-level positions in the government?

In that case, if you want to marry a little girl, you want to separate the family and build a new mansion. It’s probably difficult!

I want to marry a little girl, give her a good life, and not be laughed at by others for marrying a bastard. We can only find another way.

……

Not to mention Chen An's thoughts, let's talk about Chen Rong's master and servant returning to Jinxiu Courtyard. Grandma Zhong and Cuizhu were busy arranging the gifts, recording them one by one, and filing them away.

Chen Rong was sitting on the edge of the couch, lost in thought, thinking about her marriage and the days to come.

At this moment, she still couldn't believe it. Ji Yuxian and her stepmother actually came to see each other.

Unconsciously, the sun sets in the west, and the rays of rays slant into the house through the windows, dyeing the house a warm orange color.

"Miss, all the gifts have been counted." Aunt Zhong handed the arranged gift list to Chen Rong: "You can take a look."

Chen Jia's eyelashes moved slightly, and she took the gift list with a smile: "Mommy, thank you for your hard work."

"Hey, miss, what are you talking about?" Aunt Zhong said with a smile.

Chen Rong stood up and walked to the table filled with various gifts. He looked at the gifts while looking at the gift list. When he saw the small wooden box given by Ji Yuxian, he paused for a moment and reached out to pick it up.

"Miss, the Bodhi seed bracelet given by the Crown Prince is suitable for you to wear, so don't send it to the warehouse." Cuizhu said at the side.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Zhong agreed: "Yes, miss, this Bodhi seed bracelet has the effect of calming the mind, sleeping and warding off evil spirits. Miss, it is better to wear it."

"Well, that's okay. Let's put it in the dresser drawer first and wear it tomorrow." Chen Rong also liked this Bodhi seed bracelet, which was very warm to the touch.

After Chen Rong finished speaking, he handed the gift list to Aunt Zhong and told her to put it away.

Chen An: My wish is to be able to run the family and not let my sweetheart be ridiculed for marrying a concubine.

Xiao Zi: Work hard!
