Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 227

Chapter 230

It was night, Qing Huan couldn't help being sleepy, and under Xiang Nong's persuasion, she took a rest, but she still didn't wait for Rong Chen to come back.When I fell asleep and woke up suddenly.

It was still pitch black outside.

The room was also quiet, only the dim candlelight swaying gently in the breeze.

Qing Huan only felt dry mouth, she got up and put on her clothes, walked to the round table and wanted to pour tea to drink, but found that the teapot was empty.

Only then did I realize that once I came back, no one came in to wait on me.

Even Xiang Nong was standing outside the door to answer. Thinking of this, Qing Huan walked back to the bed and took a closer look at Brother Jin who was still sleeping soundly by the dim candlelight.

Double check that he is sleeping soundly.

Qing Huan entered the robe she was wearing and walked outside.

Youyuan, who was on duty at night, heard the movement and sat up suddenly. When he was still in a daze, he subconsciously said: "Madam is awake? But do you need tea? Sister Xiangnong, let me prepare it before going to bed." gone."

Qing Huan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded, and sure enough, she saw water boiling on a small stove beside her.

"Ma'am, I'll come." Seeing that Qing Huan was about to pick up the water bottle herself, Youyuan immediately woke up from her doze, and immediately stopped her in front of her.

Qing Huan was afraid that if she disagreed.

With Youyuan's serious nature, I'm afraid it will be endless, so after thinking about it, she agreed with a smile.

Qing Huan sat back on the low bed where Youyuan had been lying down just now.

Then Youyuan went to get the handkerchief, folded it a few times, picked up water and poured it into the teacup.

"It's better not to drink tea, it's easy to fall asleep after drinking it at night." Youyuan said.

Qing Huan nodded, not paying attention.

Originally, she couldn't sleep well, so it's better to drink water honestly.Besides, he came back early tonight, and tomorrow he will go to Yan's mansion early in the morning, waiting for Qiao Chu to offer tea.

There is no way, whoever is called Sanfang is just two siblings.

As for the Yan family over there, Qing Huan sometimes has no choice but to go there, but Yan Jun will not go if she can.Compared with a married woman who is a descendant of the Yan family, Qing Huan would rather take her place on her behalf.

Qing Huan held the teacup and drank the water slowly.

It wasn't until a warm feeling slid down his throat into his heart that he sighed and prepared to go back to sleep.It's getting late, and it will be dawn soon.

I can't sleep for much longer.

But if you can sleep a little longer, you can be more energetic.

Youyuan wanted to serve Qing Huan into the house, but when Qing Huan was about to refuse, a voice came from outside.

Qing Huan looked at Youyuan.

At this time, he would still be walking around in the mansion, and now Rong Chen is the only one in the main courtyard.

"Pour more water."

Qing Huan gave an order and walked towards the door.

Rong Chen waved his hand to signal his servants to leave, just as he was about to open the door, the door was already opened from the inside, and the one standing in front of him was Qing Huan.

Rong Chen frowned displeasedly: "Why didn't you sleep?"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and led Qing Huan to the room, and at the same time closed the door behind his back.

Youyuan had already poured tea, and blessed Rong Chen.

"Let's drink some hot water first." Qing Huan said, "I just woke up too, and I feel thirsty. Didn't you see that I'm wearing clothes? You drink a little too. Let's go to the back room to talk, and leave this place for Youyuan .”

On this big night, the husband and wife can't be allowed to talk in the outer room, but let Youyuan go to the inner room.

After hearing the explanation, seeing that it was not what he thought, Rong Chen calmed down, went to the table and drank it in one gulp, as if feeling that it was not enough to quench his thirst, he went to pick up the teapot again, but put it down again the next moment, and carried it directly to the room walk in.

Qing Huan whispered to Youyuan: "It's okay, you can sleep."

Then he went into the inner room.

The teapot was placed on the table, and Rong Chen was standing by the bed.

Qing Huan approached lightly: "Brother Jin is fast asleep."

Rong Chen nodded, walked to the table and sat down.

Qing Huan went over to pour tea.

Rong Chen said: "It was found out, it was suicide."

"Ah..." Qing Huan didn't believe it.

"How could she?" It shouldn't be, at least there should be some signs before doing this kind of thing, but Xu Lan didn't mean that she couldn't live anymore.

On the contrary, Qing Huan saw her gearing up, eager to try.

suicide?

Qing Huan shook her head: "Don't be deceived."

"A group of people in the mansion also disappeared." Rong Chen continued.

Qing Huan had nothing to say.

"I think it probably has something to do with those people. The person who left is the nail who stayed in our house. I don't know if there are still others. But those people I found suddenly disappeared overnight. Gone."

Qing Huan opened her mouth.

Rong Chen frowned, and sighed, "It's already midnight at this time, and I wanted to find it, but it was too late."

"you say……"

Qing Huan thought for a while and said, "Did the other party deliberately pick the day when Jun'er got married?" Although she committed suicide, in Qing Huan's view, Xu Lan must have been threatened and forced to commit suicide.

Obviously, Rong Chen also thinks so.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Rong Chen was a little irritable.

As soon as Zhao Yang came back, such an incident happened in the mansion, so why not let him wonder if the other party knew something.

Then the policy of staying away from Zhao Yang, which was originally decided, should be let go.

Qing Huan quietly accompanied her.

Rong Chen thought and thought, but still couldn't make a decision, so he simply asked her opinion.

"what?"

"I'm asking if it's necessary to avoid suspicion with Zhao Yang. After all, he came back this time to obtain the important things of the Holy One."

"But..." Qing Huan was a little confused: "Didn't you go to Yongyi Hou's mansion on purpose last time to visit his servants who stayed in the mansion?"

Such an obvious move, so many people in the mansion that day, there is no way to hide it.

If the relationship between the two of them suddenly becomes strange again, shouldn't it be strange?

When Rong Chen heard it, he suddenly realized that he was too impatient and didn't think about things comprehensively.But at the same time, I still feel strange, since I know the friendship between the two, why should I use Chaoyang again today.

But after thinking about it, I found that I seemed to vaguely know the reason behind it.

It's just that Chaoyang made friends with Rong Chen, not Princess Danyang's mansion.

From the beginning to the end, Chaoyang only had some connection with Rong Chen, and...Rong Chen could find out that Chaoyang once wanted to marry Qing Huan but failed. It must be easier for the suspicious emperor to find out.

No one among men is happy to wear a green hat on his head.

Two people can meet each other, but they can't cherish each other.

I'm afraid it's because of this, after Rong Chen figured it out, he felt that it would be better to have some contact with Chaoyang in the future. Although what happened today made him busy all night, it was not fruitless.

Just looking at Qing Huan eagerly looking at him for an explanation, Rong Chen still couldn't tell her the reason out loud to her after all, he just smiled and said: "You still think right, it's my demon, go to bed early. We have to go there tomorrow, and brother Jin will also go there by then."

The more people there, the better.

Qing Huan smiled and said: "I heard that Qiao... my sister-in-law not only prepared a meeting gift for me, but also prepared a lot for Brother Jin. I will take him there, maybe I can get some more."

"You..." Rong Chen smiled.

The meeting ceremony was naturally prepared early in the morning, so there would be too many of them suddenly, at most they were taken from hand.

"It's better to think about what to give tomorrow."

Rong Chen smiled and took off his shirt.

Qing Huan smiled.

Naturally, she had made the preparations early in the morning, and as her sister-in-law, she had such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only for Rong Chen, but also for Brother Jin.

She felt guilty about Qiao Chu, after all, the meeting ceremony was much less due to the likes and dislikes of their siblings, even if brother Jin didn't have to prepare it, Qing Huan found an excuse to prepare one for him.

……

Although the two of them had to wait until after Qiao Chugudi to consummate their marriage.

But on the first day of marriage, the night of the bridal chamber, the two still slept together.

Yan Jun woke up and opened her eyes. When she felt another gentle breath beside her, she froze at first, and after a long while, she realized that she had already married last night and was a real adult.Then he smiled silently and turned his head away.

Perhaps the eyes were too hot.

Qiao Chu, who was asleep, suddenly opened her eyes.

The two suddenly looked at each other.

Qiao Chu's face was as red as the quilt covering her body.

Yan Jun also coughed a few times uncomfortably, and then tried her best to say: "Get up, my sister and the others are coming too." In fact, they left in a hurry last night, and Yan Jun was also worried.

I just didn't want to disturb Qiao Chu, so I didn't mention it.

Qiao Chu smiled and said yes.

When the two of them finished dressing and went out, they saw Xia Cao standing outside the door, smiling and curtseying to the two of them: "Congratulations, master and wife."

Now that she has become a family, Yan Jun is independent again.

No matter how young you are, you still have to call them master and wife.

Yan Jun looked at Qiao Chu.

Qiao Chu felt good in his heart, knowing that he was trying to make a show for himself, although he said with a smile: "Sister Xia Cao is being polite, I need your help in the future."

Xia Cao should be terrified.

Qiao Chu had already signaled the servant girl to send the prepared red envelope to her. As for what she planned to give in private, she was not going to reveal it publicly.

The two went to the main room ahead.

After a while, a servant came to say that my aunt and uncle had arrived.

Yan Jun wanted to run out of the door, but after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped unaccustomed, and looked at Qiao Chu embarrassingly.

Qiao Chu didn't mind.

It's my aunt, not anyone else.

Besides, this eldest sister-in-law is not like others, who is looking for work for her younger siblings and sister-in-law.

"Thank you, Lord, for waiting for me."

Yan Jun smiled and stretched out her hand.

"Oh... Did we come early or late?" Qing Huan appeared suddenly.

Qiao Chu blushed, and wanted to withdraw her hand, but Yan Jun held it tightly.

Qing Huan smiled and changed.

Rong Chen, who was holding Brother Jin in his arms, cast admiring glances at Yan Jun.

Qing Huan and Rong Chen went to the seat, temporarily taking the place of the elders.

Xia Cao has already prepared the tea to be respected.

You Qiao took out the futon.

"No need, just perform a Wanfu ceremony." Qing Huan said upon seeing this.

Rong Chen also echoed: "Listen to your sister."

Yan Jun winked and smiled, and then said: "Then withdraw."

"I see that Jun'er also loves his wife, how long has it been. If it was in the past, she must be on my side." Qing Huan said deliberately.

Rong Chen smiled: "Then what?"

Qing Huan couldn't say it, so she could only say: "Sister-in-law, let's start."

Qiao Chu nodded, but still insisted: "The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and her parents-in-law are gone. Naturally, the kneeling ceremony of brother-in-law and sister cannot be ignored."

Qing Huan bit her lower lip.

Qiao Chu has already taken the teacup.

Rong Chen quickly took it over, and said with a smile: "Get up quickly, as for the meeting gift, you might as well have this one in my hand." Brother Jin looked at Qiao Chu curiously.

Qiao Chu smiled: "I'm afraid my brother-in-law will be reluctant." But he stood up and walked in front of Qing Huan.

Qing Huan just laughed: "Your brother-in-law's are all with me. They are a family anyway and don't need so many rules. I will give them to you later. Brother Jin also prepared them for your aunt."

Qiao Chu was also arrogant: "Just now I also offered tea to Brother Jin."

Qing Huan was startled, then shook her head helplessly.

Yan Jun couldn't help but laugh.

At Qing Huan's place, the tea ceremony was also completed very quickly.

Qing Huan had a good impression of this sister-in-law, so naturally she didn't want her to be wronged.

Qing Huan nodded towards Xiang Nong.

Shannon handed over a large box she was carrying.

Qiao Chu took it with her own hands, and then handed it over to the servant girl.

Afterwards, Yan Jun first took Qiao Chu to a small ancestral hall specially opened for worship.

Qing Huan and Rong Chen stayed in the hall chatting.

"A few days ago, Jun'er specially prepared it in order not to wrong her sister-in-law. The ones enshrined on it were grandfather and Xiaoliu family." In other words, it was not Mrs. Yan.

Yan Jun has set up a new one.

The meaning is naturally different.

Rong Chen smiled and said, "As expected of me, I brought you up."

Qing Huan soon realized that he had praised herself incidentally.But thinking about it, Rong Chen's performance after he got married was indeed good.

On the contrary, it also set a good example for Yan Jun.

After Yan Jun and Qiao Chu came out, Xia Cao had already brought people to set up a meal.

After eating, Qing Huan's family took their leave.

Qing Huan and Qiao Chu walked behind, talking about the interesting things about Yan Jun in the past, and the situation of the third room, so that Qiao Chu's eyes were darkened and he didn't know anything.

Yan Jun asked about what happened yesterday.

Rong Chen didn't hide anything, and then he also talked about his analysis and the situation of Zhao Yang's return.

Yan Jun understood why her brother-in-law and sister were anxious to leave instead of sitting for a while.

"Brother-in-law and sister, go back quickly." Yan Jun stood beside the carriage and waved her hands.

Qing Huan poked her head out suddenly, pulled Yan Jun and whispered in her ear.

Qiao Chu looked puzzled, and saw that Yan Jun's face turned redder and shyer, and couldn't help but wonder what Qing Huan had said.

As for later, did she ask out.

Qing Huan didn't know, she asked once, but Qiao Chu pretended not to know.

Qing Huan had no choice but to give up.

After their family returned, Rong Chen went out to do errands to investigate An Xie's sudden disappearance.

The subsequent news was not unexpected.

Either he died accidentally, or his whole family disappeared.

Qing Huan didn't think about what happened to them in the end, but she also understood that the fate of those who found the corpses was about the same.As a result, he became even more dissatisfied with the person behind the scenes.

A servant is also a life.

If there is something wrong, it depends on the situation, even if you lose your life, it should be done.

But these people... are still loyal to that one.

And a person lost his life because of his loyalty, and people can't help but feel deeply moved when they think about it.

time flies.

From Mancao occasionally watching the news from Xiacao, Qiao Chu has already adapted to the life there, and his actions are very convincing.While Qing Huan was relieved, she had to admit once again that she would only be Rong's wife from now on.

On Yan Jun's side, another woman has replaced her to greet her.

Just don't wait for her to be sad for long.

Zhao Yang officially arrived in Beijing in mid-February.

On that day, Rong Chen went out of his way to greet her.

Knowing that it was the third watch of the month, I came back drunk.

Brother Jin just hates it.

Rong Chen touched his nose and took a shower before being allowed to go to bed.

"Zhao Yang has changed a lot."

Qing Huan hummed.

"The character is still the same, but he is much calmer when he can do things. Sure enough, time and life can always temper people's growth. At that time, the innocent boy has disappeared."

"Not all people are like this, so is Zhao Yangru, and so is Yan Jun." Qing Huan held the other palm with the hand under the quilt: "You are too, and I am too. Everyone is growing and changing."

Otherwise, only others are changing, but you remain unchanged.

Then you will only suffer.

At the beginning of March, all the spring flowers bloomed, and Qing Huan also changed into a spring shirt.

Zhao Yang appeared at the gate of Rong Mansion carelessly.

The concierge saw him and hurried forward: "My lord, you are here to look for our lord. Our lord is not in the mansion right now, please leave your name and wait for our lord..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Yang waved his hand: "I'm here to find your wife."

The concierge was stunned.

Zhao Yang lifted his feet and walked inside.

The concierge came back to his senses, and chased after him with a bitter face.

When Qing Huan from the main courtyard received the report, she was taken aback for a moment, then said with a helpless smile: "Go and tell the people outside to invite General Zhao in."

Youyuan smiled and said yes, and went out smiling.

Qing Huan went into the inner room and changed into clothes that could meet guests.

When he went out, Zhao Yang was already drinking tea slowly.

The moment I saw it for the first time, Qing Huan understood why Rong Chen said that Zhao Yang had changed.

Although he just sat there quietly, his temperament was completely different.

"Qing Huan." Seeing someone coming out from the corner of his eye, Zhao Yang's eyes flickered, and after raising his head, he suddenly laughed: "You came out, it's really slow."

He smiled again: "This is the rule of hospitality in your house."

"That's not true." Qing Huan said with an annoyed smile: "If it's someone else, I won't be able to see you. Do you think your current treatment is what others can have?"

Who knew that Zhao Yang was not angry but happy when he heard this.

"It's just me."

Qing Huan was taken aback, then smiled and said yes.

"Yeah, only you."
