Hidden golden branches

Dong Lin acted quickly and went to the outskirts of the village early the next morning to pick up Song Lin.

After meeting Song Lin, who looked slightly haggard and pale, Chen Rong said to him sincerely and guiltily the next day: "Brother Song Lin, don't worry, I will never cause trouble again from now on and teach you to make things difficult and be punished."

Seeing this, Song Lin couldn't help but be moved, and said with slightly red eyes: "Miss, please don't say that. If I meet someone who hurts you in the future, as long as you say a word, miss, I will do it even to death."

"Hehe, with your words, I feel relieved." Chen Rong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

She was worried that Song Lin would resent her in his heart, and it would be unlucky for him to be a slave if he followed a misguided master.

Chen Rong secretly swore in her heart: From now on, she will not let anyone around her be wronged.

Chen Rong's eyes were clear and clear, as if he had grown up overnight.

Two days later, Chen An took a rest, and the brother and sister made an appointment to meet at Zuixian Tower.

The rain has stopped, and the steps are wet and stained with some fallen flowers. The autumn wind was mixed with moisture, and Chen Rong went to Fuyi Hall to tell his mother, Yun Man, that he would not go home for lunch.

Then Nanny Zhong put on a snow-white cloak for her and took Cuizhu and Yuzhu out.

Song Lin, who had just returned from Zhuangzi, was sitting next to Lao Li who was driving.

Because it rained heavily all day and all night yesterday, water splashed all over the places where the loose bluestone slabs paved on the street were loosened by carriage wheels.

Zuixian Tower is a two-story shop with exquisite and colorful carved beams and painted pillars.

Business at Zuixianlou is as prosperous as ever.

Chen An, who arrived a step earlier, took Chen Rong to the upstairs box and sat down with a smile.

Today, Chen An is wearing a black robe embroidered with mountains and flowing water, and her long black hair is tied up high by a jade crown engraved with claw patterns. His eyebrows are like silver swords, and his eyes are like stars.

Chen Rong seemed to have taken a serious look at his second brother for the first time. In a trance, his second brother had grown up. He was a humble gentleman and a handsome boy like jade.

Hey, if the eldest brother hadn't gotten married, the second brother might also have a wife when he reached the age of marriage.

In the golden autumn, crabs are the most plump and delicious.

Of course Zuixianlou also has this seasonal dish.

Zuixianlou's main crab dishes in the past two months include steamed hairy crabs, crab roe tofu, crab meat fried rice, crab roe soup dumplings and other delicacies related to crab. They are not only rich in color, but also rich in taste. They not only have the deliciousness of crab meat, It has the smoothness of tofu and the richness of crab roe, making it mouth-watering.

Chen An personally supervised the chef to select two tender lamb chops for grilling, as well as eight crabs with round navels and several four-gill bass. Used to entertain sister Chen Jia.

Chen Rong looked at the red lacquered nanmu dining table in front of him, which was covered with delicacies.

She knew that the two brothers and sisters could not finish the meal, so she immediately called Cuizhu to come, cut half of the vegetables, and asked them to go to the inner room separated by a screen to eat.

Cuizhu was very reserved and spread the dishes over, while Yu Zhu thanked her with a smile: "Hehe, thank you, miss." Then he went to the door to call Song Lin and Chen An's servant Laixing in, and they went to eat together. .

Seeing this, Chen An was worried that they would not be full, so he simply asked the waiter to bring them a few more dishes.

During the dinner, Chen Rong followed his second brother and drank a cup of osmanthus aged wine.

In other words, you can’t eat crabs and barbecue without some old wine. The brother and sister left the Zuixian Tower after eating and drinking.

Chen An wanted to take this opportunity to visit his family's bookstore. Chen An's aunt Jiang gave her son the money she had saved over the years to buy two shops on the street, one a bookstore and the other a grocery store. Both shops are managed by Chen An.

As a result, the brother and sister parted ways in Zuixian Tower.

Chen Rong boarded the carriage with the support of Cuizhu. He was a little dizzy after drinking some wine and wanted to go back and take a nap.

Amidst the rumble of the carriage, "Hey!" Lao Li, who was driving the car, exclaimed in surprise.

The carriage suddenly shook violently, causing Chen Rong to sit in the carriage and almost fall forward. Fortunately, Cuizhu and Yuzhu in the carriage protected each other and managed to sit safely.

Then the carriage screeched to an abrupt halt.

Chen Rong, who was about to doze off, immediately woke up and yelled: "What's going on?"

Song Lin, who failed to reply in time, looked extremely ugly the next moment the carriage stopped.

Unexpectedly, just after he came back to accompany the young lady out, he would encounter trouble again.

"County Master, I was driving the car very well, and suddenly a woman jumped out from the side, she, she, she..." The man driving the car, Old Li, stammered, as if he was very frightened.

Yu Zhu was impatient and couldn't bear to wait for Old Li to finish his words. He said to him, "I'll go out first," and then he opened the car door and got out.

Unexpectedly, after a while, there were more and more noises outside. Chen Rong's head suddenly stopped feeling dizzy. He just became more and more irritated. Just when he was about to see the cause in person, Yu Zhu stood at the window and whispered: "Miss, the carriage hit Sun Yi's outer room, and her maid said she was afraid she might have a fetus."

Chen Rong didn't care about his bad luck. Why did he meet someone he didn't want to see again? His eyes suddenly widened: "Why did you meet that woman? Why don't you call the doctor?"

Yu Zhu was a little reluctant to touch her, but the maid next to Zhang Xiuxi was crying loudly. Zhang Xiuxi was also holding her stomach, with a pale face, as if she was in severe pain. Moreover, more and more people were surrounding him. Even before the identity of County Master Chen Rong was revealed, they were already pointing and scolding him.

Chen Rong saw that the situation outside was developing in an uncontrollable direction, and although he really didn't want to see everyone and everything related to Sun Yi, he also knew that the child in Zhang Xiuxi's belly was innocent.

After quickly weighing the situation, Chen Rong asked Cuizhu to get out of the carriage, helped Zhang Xiuxi into the carriage first, and asked the driver, Lao Li, to prepare to divert to Ping Bohou's residence.

Zhang Xiuxi acted as if she was afraid of being with Chen Rong. She struggled weakly to no avail and suffered from abdominal pain so much that she couldn't even say a word. She could only let Xiao Yu, with a dark face, and the maid beside him help her into the carriage.

Chen Rong frowned and stared at the hem of Zhang Xiuxi's dress that was soaked with blood. Even the incense burning in the car could not cover up the strong smell of blood.

"Throw the incense out." Chen Rong thought of something, and then gave the order. Cuizhu still didn't understand and asked: "Miss, there is a lot of blood in this car now. Without the incense, I'm afraid."

"Throw it away!" Chen Rong just stared at Zhang Xiuxi's wet skirt and said coldly.

Cuizhu obeyed the order and grabbed the small red stone incense burner from the nanmu table with his little hands. He opened the door curtain and handed it to Songlin: "Brother Song." Let Songlin handle it, and then talked with Yuzhu They also protected Chen Jia from touching Zhang Xiuxi, who was sitting on the cushion with a pale face, as if she was going to die at any moment.

Songlin took the incense burner and went to dispose of it. Cuizhu listened to Chen Rong's instructions and opened the door curtain again: "Brother Song, please ask the doctor to go to Pingbohou Mansion."

Chen Rong: I was happily eating and drinking, so why did I meet Zhang Xiuxi again?

Zhang Xiuxi: Do you think I like meeting you? I'm afraid you'll be scared to death

Xiao Zi: Chen Rong is in trouble.
