The remarriage of the high-ranking daughter

Chapter 20

This is Chang'an's daily walking route. If he had known that he would pass by this place, Zi Qi wrapped some steamed bread crumbs in a coarse cloth and Ren Chang'an casually threw them into the pond, which made the koi fish jump for joy and fight for it. Food, what a lively scene.

Zi Yu stood not far from the pavilion, dressed in a fine blue dress, leaning against a tree with her arms folded, her bright eyes swept around, alert to all possible dangers around her.

Now she always feels uneasy in the Chen Mansion, perhaps because she was not there to rescue in time when Chang'an was in trouble, which made Zi Qi's master and servant so embarrassed. If she was there, how could Chen Yutao be so rampant?
Thinking of this, Zi Yu blamed herself more than once.

"Okay, let's feed these little things!"

Scattered the last pinch of steamed bread crumbs, Chang An clapped his hands, leaned against the beauty by the pavilion, folded his hands under his chin, watched the koi in the pond happily flopping around, and couldn't help but feel a faint feeling in his heart Melancholy.

Yu'er's happiness and satisfaction are so simple and pure, which is really enviable, but people's hearts are a bottomless pit that cannot be filled.

"Miss comes to this pond every day to feed them, there is no reason why they can't get enough."

While Zi Qi placed the food box she was carrying on the stone table in the pavilion, she took out the already warm grapefruit juice and poured it into the Ru kiln porcelain cup painted with pastel on a pea-green background. The color set off really nice.

Taking the porcelain cup from Zi Qi, Chang An took a sip. The grapefruit was slightly sour, but the sourness was sweet, and the drink was refreshing and refreshing, with a special taste.

"It's September..."

Looking at the crushed grapefruit juice floating in the porcelain cup, Chang An's meticulous brows slightly tightened, "Isn't the Duke's Mansion going to hold a Chrysanthemum Banquet at the end of this month?"

"There is a chrysanthemum banquet in the Duke's Mansion every year, but Miss has never attended it."

Zi Qi shook her head with a smile, Chang An was already weak, even if she seldom attended the banquet held in her own home, now that she is married to the Chen family, she seldom goes back.

"This year...I want to go home and have a look."

Chang An subconsciously clenched the porcelain cup in her hand, her eyes fixed on the cup surface, it seemed that the smiling faces of relatives at home were emerging there, which made her tense mind slightly relieved.

Perhaps, it is not so difficult to face, since we have reached this point with Chen Yutao, if we want to reconcile smoothly, maybe we need my father's help.

Besides, she was also eager to see those familiar and kind faces again, father, brother, grandparents... Are those long-lost relatives still there?
"This……"

Zi Qi hesitated a little, glanced at Chang An's dazed expression, and said cautiously: "Miss...do you want to go with my uncle?"

Zi Qi has always been a smart person, she understood very well what the scene between Chang An and Chen Yutao that day meant.

Although later, the young lady also told her what happened that day in detail, but the fact that their husband and wife really wanted to "reconcile and separate" made her feel very uncomfortable.

Heli, how much harm this is to a woman, the young lady is still so young and beautiful, with such a name on her back, will she be able to find a satisfactory husband in the future?

Chang An was taken aback, then shook his head and smiled, "He goes his way, I go mine, they have nothing to do with each other."

The chrysanthemum banquet in the Duke's Mansion has always been the highlight of the capital city, and there are countless women and family members from famous families who are present. With such a clear dividing line, others will definitely guess that their husband and wife are not on good terms. Maintaining the image of Jia Fu is a blemish.

"Miss and Uncle...do you really have to go this far?"

Zi Qi's eyes are full of worry. Her mother said that being a married couple is better than others. Even if there are any conflicts and entanglements, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. How do you know that the next person you meet will be so good? ?
The son-in-law was born as the champion, handsome and handsome, with a good-looking talent, the only concubine room in the family was facilitated by his own lady, such a man should be the dream lover of every pregnant girl.

She still vaguely remembered that the young lady was also extremely obsessed with her back then, why has this love suddenly disappeared after only two years?
She doesn't understand.

Except for the not-so-good memories of that day, my uncle didn’t treat her like this on weekdays. Zi Qi couldn’t help reaching out and stroked her cheek when she regained her thoughts. The hot feeling is still fresh in her memory. Isn't it crazy?
Chang An was silent, and slowly walked around the rim of the porcelain cup with his fingers, then raised his head and smiled faintly, "Zi Qi, have you heard the story of "The Story of Fishermen and Woodcutters"?"

Zi Qi was stunned, and seemed to be recalling carefully in her mind. Although she had never read a book, she had learned a lot of characters with the young lady, and had heard Xu Ben sing a story. The Zaju, which tells the story of Zhu Maichen and Yu Tianxian splashing water in front of the horse in the Western Han Dynasty, is also the origin of the allusion of "overwhelmed water is hard to recover".

Zi Qi's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Chang'an in surprise, how did she get to this point?
"It's hard to get over the water, it's impossible for me and him."

Passing the porcelain cup in his hand into Zi Qi's arms, seeing her puzzled face, Chang An just shook his head lightly, turned around and looked at the emerald green pool, his heart was still ups and downs in the past, spread out The palm of his hand was slowly clenched.

The bloody and past, only she has experienced it personally, can she deeply understand the tragedy and pain. She doesn't want to experience the same thing again, and she is also glad that the people she cares about will not be like her, and the fate of the future will not be like her. , will be different after all.

Mrs. Chen's garden is very lively today. Seeing the servants moving things into the house in large and small boxes, and welcoming back her daughter Chen Yuqing who has returned from the summer vacation, the unhappiness that has been suppressed for a long time can finally be relieved at this time. pour out.

Chen Yuqing looked like her mother, with an oval face, but the corners of her eyes were slightly slanted down, which made her look a bit mean. She was of average appearance, and she could only be regarded as a delicate beauty in a capital city full of beauties.

But Mrs. Chen is very satisfied with her daughter. A daughter like her is naturally a mother's caring little padded jacket, which is much better than the two worry-free sons.

"Mother, wait."

Chen Yuqing knew that Mrs. Chen couldn't stop talking, and most of them were complaining about Chang'an's jealousy of the Shen family, so she couldn't help but wink at the maid behind her, "Xiaowen, go and watch outside, take me to my mother. Once you have sorted out the things you need to return, let Xiaocui stand guard at the door, so that no one will disturb our mother and daughter's conversation."

"Yes."

Xiaowen backed out with a low eyebrow, and Chen Yuqing poured a cup of scented tea for Mrs. Chen and handed it over, and said with a smile: "During my absence, could it be that my sister-in-law has caused trouble for my mother again?"

"You still understand mother."

Mrs. Chen nodded with emotion, took Chen Yuqing's hand and patted it, "It's not like you don't know about your sister-in-law, she just pretends to be weak all day long, who knows what dirty things she has outside , you don't know that at that time..."
