The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 157 Chance Encounter

After the servants retreated, Hua Xu looked at Chen Song and asked, "Song, do you really not consider Brother Jun about Xue'er's marriage?

  Let me tell you the truth, apart from not being able to pass on the position of commander of the Long Shadow Guard to Brother Jun, I will never treat him badly. "

Chen Song played with the cup in his hand, smiled dryly, and said lightly: "I made this clear last time.

Since you cannot be Ming Ye’s master, let’s give up on this marriage.

 It just so happened that Ms. Cai also wanted to keep Xueer for a few more years. Don't think too much, sir. I have followed you for many years, and I understand your difficulties. "

Faced with Chen Song's resentment, Hua Xu sighed and said, "I broke my promise about this first, and I can't help you in the end."

 Chen Song didn't expect Hua Xu to apologize. When he met Hua Xu's sincere eyes, the resentment in his heart dissipated a lot. He put down the cup in his hand and softened his tone, "Marriage between children must be predestined.

Xueer and Mingye are not destined to be together after all. Well, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Let’s not worry about it. "

Seeing Chen Song's expression soften, Hua Xu felt relieved and took over the words and said, "Alas! I have watched Xue'er grow up since she was a child. She is well-behaved and sensible. Brother Ming's brat is unlucky.

Asong, if not, I will accept Xueer as my adopted daughter. When she gets married, I will prepare a dowry for her. what do you think? "

　　When Hua Ruiming was mentioned, Chen Song's suppressed anger was ignited again, and he patiently leaned forward and said: "My lord, I will take care of you.

 I'll go back and ask Xue'er about this next time. She'll have to be willing. "

Chen Song and Mr. Cai doted on their daughter. Hua Xu also knew it, so he didn't notice Chen Song's displeasure. "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

Chen Song stood up to say goodbye, walked out of Huafu through West Street, entered Yulan Lane, and walked along the alley for more than ten feet to reach Chen's Mansion.

When the concierge saw Chen Song coming back, he quickly stood up to greet him and said, "Hello, sir!"

Chen Song nodded and asked as he walked into the courtyard: "Have you ever returned home, Madam?"

The porter leaned forward and replied, "Sir, my wife just came back a quarter of an hour ago."

 After hearing this, Chen Song went straight to the backyard.

When the maids and wives saw Chen Song, they all bowed their knees in greeting.

 Chen Song asked: "Where is the madam? Where is she?"

The old lady bent her knees and said, "Go back to me, my lady is in the flower hall. I will go and pass the news right now."

 Chen Song waved his hand, "No, I can just go there by myself."

 Chen Song went to the Flower Hall. I saw Mrs. Cai and her daughter playing with flowers and plants.

"What are you doing? What treasures did you find today?" Chen Song asked.

When Cai and Chen Xue heard Chen Song's voice, they both stood up and greeted Chen Song.

 Chen Song walked closer and looked down at the flowerpot on the ground. Asked: "Oh, this is an orchid? The flowers are very fragrant."

Ms. Cai looked at the orchid in the pot, nodded and said, "Yes, it's Chunlan. Xue'er said it's rare to find such well-cared for flowers, so we bought them back."

Chen Song knelt down and smelled it, "Yes, it smells very good." He stood up and pointed to the flowerpot on the ground, and said, "You can just leave these things to the servants, why do it yourself? You'll get dirt on your hands. "

Ms. Cai smiled and said, "It's not like I don't know Xue'er's temperament. She's like flowers and grass, so how can she safely leave it to my servants?"

Chen Xue smiled sheepishly and whispered: "My daughter is just afraid that they are not careful enough and will damage my flowers."

 Chen Song raised his hand and poked his daughter's head, and said with a smile: "You are the one who worries about your life. The old woman who takes care of the flowers and plants does this every day, how can she do it better than you?"

"That's not necessarily true. When Mrs. Liu encountered a difficult situation, she didn't come to look for her daughter that time? If her daughter hadn't guided her, would she have been able to take care of the flowers and plants?" Chen Xue replied unconvinced.

Mrs. Cai first looked at Asong, spread her hands and said, "Master, have you seen it?" After speaking, Ms. Cai said to her daughter with a smile on her face: "You can do it, okay!"

 Chen Xue replied without any humility: "Originally, I am the best at flowers and plants. Uncle Zhe once said before that Xue'er is a flower fairy, and all flowers listen to Xue'er."

Mrs. Cai glanced at Chen Song and saw that the beauty on Chen Song's face froze. She immediately said to Chen Xue: "Yes, yes, I listen to you. Look at the dirt on your hands and wash them quickly. Give you to my father." Bring over the gift."

Chen Xue didn't notice Chen Song's emotional change. She raised her hands and made faces at Chen Song, "Dad, are you afraid?"

 Chen Song had calmed down his mind and stepped back with a smile. "I'm afraid, go and wash your dirty hands quickly."

After Chen Xue left, Mrs. Cai said cautiously: "Master, sit down. I will also go and clean my hands."

 Chen Song raised his voice and shouted: "Come here, bring some water for my wife to cleanse her hands."

 After a while, a servant came in with water.

Chen Song took the water basin and placed it on the brocade stool, and said to Cai, "Come here."

Chai walked over, and Chen Song took Cai's hand and cleaned his hands himself.

Ms. Cai looked up at Chen Song and whispered: "A Song, I can do it myself."

The word "Ah Song" soothed Chen Song's anger, and his hands became much gentler, "Take it well, it will be fine in a while."

 Cai was not talking and allowed Chen Song to clean his hands.

Chen Song washed off the mud on Cai's hands, took the handkerchief from the mother-in-law's hand, wiped the water on her hands, handed the handkerchief to the mother-in-law, and then took Cai to sit down upstairs.

Ms. Cai looked at Chen Song's red eyes and asked, "A Song didn't come back last night. He didn't sleep all night, right?"

 Chen Song nodded, "Well, I discussed some matters with the adults, and I didn't sleep all night."

Ms. Cai asked with concern: "Have you eaten?"

"Have eaten at Hua Mansion. Do you really not consider Hua Ruijun for Xue'er's marriage? Your Excellency said that except for the position of commander of the Long Shadow Guard, which cannot be given to Master Jun, he will not treat Master Jun badly." Chen Song asked.

Ms. Cai shook her head, "I will follow Xue'er's wishes regarding Xue'er's marriage. Xue'er's heart is with Master Ming. I don't want to embarrass Xue'er."

Chen Song sighed, "How could Xue'er fall in love with Hua Ruiming, a bastard? Master Jun is better than Hua Ruiming in everything except his lower status.

 Look at Hua Ruiming, what does he look like? At a young age, I spent all day in and out of bustling places. Are you relieved that Xueer really wants to marry him? "

Ms. Cai sighed, "I told Xue'er about these principles, but that girl is stubborn and accepts death.

She also told her concubine that she had not discussed marriage with Hua Ruiming yet. If they discussed marriage, Hua Ruiming would never mess around. Look, what are these words? I don’t know where she gets her confidence from? "

"This girl, where does she get her confidence? Hua Ruiming has been beaten and punished by adults. When did he change his mind?"

 A dog cannot change its habit of eating shit. Xue'er is too young, how can she understand these principles? You are her mother-in-law, so you have to persuade her more. "Chen Song said.

Chai sighed with a headache and said, "I understand, let's wait another two years. When Xue'er is older, maybe she will be able to listen to these principles."

 Chen Song thought for a while and nodded, "That's the only way it can be. Hua Ruijun, do you want him to wait?"

Ms. Cai shook her head and said, "Forget it. Since Xue'er's thoughts are not on him, don't let them wait, otherwise it will delay them.

 Furthermore, Master Ming and Master Jun are brothers. If Xueer proposes marriage to Master Jun, will Master Jun feel uncomfortable? It will be awkward for the family to get along in the future, isn't it? "

 Chen Song's face immediately darkened, "Did you really let him go?"

Ms. Cai turned to look at Chen Song and said unhappily: "A Song, do you mean what you said?"

“Dad, they said Uncle Yu was injured? Is it true?” Chen Xue came in and asked.

 Chen Song suppressed the anger on his face, nodded, and said softly: "Yes, Jiayu is injured."

 Chen Xue was focused on Deng Jiayu's injury and was not aware of the emotions between her parents.

 Chen Xue asked nervously: "Is Uncle Yu seriously injured?"

Cai also looked at Chen Song, waiting for his answer.

Chen Song sighed and said: "Jiayu was poisoned and has no strength. Other than that, he is not seriously injured."

Chen Xue grew up watching Deng Jiayu and Chen Liang, and they loved her very much.

 Chen Xue's Kung Fu was personally passed down by the two of them.

"What kind of poison is that? Is there no antidote? Where is Uncle Liang? Is he injured?" Chen Xue asked.

Chen Song said: "The antidote has not yet been found. This morning, I went to the palace to ask for help from the emperor. The emperor asked Dr. Hu to come over for treatment. This is the first time that Dr. Hu has seen this poison. A Liang was not injured."

Chen Xue couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said, "Dad, where is Uncle Yu now? Can I go see him?"

Chen Song pressed his hand and motioned Chen Xue to sit down, "Jiayu is still in the Hua Mansion. Dr. Hu still needs to check carefully. You don't need to go there now."

"Oh, okay." Chen Xue sat down and then stood up again, "I will go to Ci'en Temple to offer incense and ask Bodhisattva to bless Uncle Yu so that Uncle Yu can get well soon."

Chen Song knew that his daughter had an idea, so he did not stop her. He waved his hand and said: "Go, you are not allowed to ride a horse, you have to go by car. Also, ask the maid and mother-in-law to follow you, and pay attention to safety on the road."

 Chen Xuefu responded: "My daughter understands." After saying that, he left the flower hall like a whirlwind.

Ms. Cai turned to look out the window and said dissatisfiedly: "How long has it been since I indulged her like this? What incense is there!"

Chen Song looked at his daughter's back and said, "Xue'er has such a charming temperament, who can stop what she wants to do?

Let her go. With the maids and women following her, no one can hurt her. "

Ms. Cai said, "I'm not worried about anyone hurting her. If she doesn't hurt anyone, she'll be fine."

 The two of us talked to each other, and it seemed as if the previous displeasure had never happened.

 Chen Song smiled and said, "That's right, what's there to worry about?"

Ms. Cai said: "Xue'er is so old, it's time to restrain her temperament and not let her do as she pleases."

"There is no need for it. My daughter, Chen Song, should live as she pleases and live happily."

 Chen Song blurted out.

Ms. Cai sighed and said, "You doting on her like this, I don't know if it's her blessing or her disaster."

Chen Xue got on the carriage, came out of the house and went straight to Ci'en Temple.

Shortly after the carriage passed the Zhouqiao Bridge, there was a blockage in front of it, making it impossible for the carriage to pass.

Chen Xue lifted the car curtain to take a look and said: "The front is blocked. Turn around and take another road."

Ding Si, the driver, said distressedly: "Miss, the road behind is also blocked, and the car can't turn around."

 Chen Xue came out and stood on the horizontal board in front of the car, looking around on tiptoes. While looking, she asked: "What happened in front?"

A person watching the excitement said: "Several young men were fighting over an actor in Yichun Tower, and then they started fighting."

Chen Xue cursed secretly, "Damn it, I'm so full."

“Miss, that seems to be Mr. Ming.” Liu’er, the eldest maid beside him, said.

Chen Xue looked in the direction Liu'er pointed and saw Hua Ruiming standing by the window on the second floor, watching the commotion downstairs with interest.

A woman in purple clothes was holding a fruit plate next to her. She was eating and laughing, and then she spoke to Hua Ruiming in a sweet and charming manner.

I don’t know what Hua Ruiming said as he lowered his eyes. The woman in purple laughed so hard that her waist trembled and she fell on Hua Ruiming.

 Chen Xue's face turned red with anger, and she cursed in a low voice: "You are a bitch." Then she told Liu'er: "Grab me a handful of almonds."

Liu'er returned to the car, grabbed a handful of almonds from the fruit box and handed them to Chen Xue.

Chen Xue took the almond and threw it towards Hua Ruiming and the woman in purple who were watching the excitement.

Hua Ruiming noticed something flying over and instinctively stepped back to avoid Xingren's attack.

　　The woman in purple was unable to avoid it, and was hit on the forehead by a flying almond. She immediately screamed: "Ah!"

Hua Ruiming glanced at the woman in purple, turned to look downstairs, and cursed: "That turtle grandson..." Before he could finish his words, he saw Chen Xue angrily staring at him on the carriage. He was so frightened that he immediately pulled the woman in purple back.

"Close the window!"

The woman in purple had never seen the panicked Hua Ruiming, so she ordered in panic: "Close the window!"

 Soon, a woman came up and closed the window.

Liu'er saw Hua Ruiming retreating, turned to look at Chen Xue, and called out softly: "Miss, Master Ming seems to have seen us."

Chen Xue looked at the closed window and blurted out: "If you see it, you will see it. I was afraid he wouldn't."

Liu'er shrank his neck and didn't dare to say anything more.

Ding Si came around from behind the carriage and said, "Miss, the carriage behind has turned around. Let's turn around too."

 Chen Xue looked back and saw the cars behind her leaving one after another. She nodded and said, "Okay."

 Chen Xue sat back in the car. When the carriage left, she raised the curtain again and looked up at the window, which was still closed.

Hua Ruiming, who was in the room, saw Shuncai peeking his head in at the door, ran over in a few steps, and asked in a low voice: "How are you? Have you left? In which direction did you go?"

Shuncai nodded, "Hui Ye, I left and came back along the road."

Hua Ruiming breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said, "I know." He turned around and walked inside, muttering to himself: "Why is she here? Is she here to arrest me? How does she know I'm here?"

When the woman in purple saw Hua Ruiming coming back, she coquettishly said: "Master Ming, look at me, there is a big bump on my forehead, it hurts!"

The woman in purple looked pitiful to me. Under normal circumstances, Hua Ruiming's bones would have been brittle, and she was immediately coaxed by her darling.

But at the moment, Hua Ruiming's thoughts are all on Chen Xue, so how can he be in the mood to coax the beauty?

Hua Ruiming glanced at the beauty and said perfunctorily: "Wan'er, you have a good rest. I have something to do today. I will see you another day."

The beauty in purple is none other than Yu Wan'er, the courtesan of Qunfang House. She has been following Hua Ruiming since she combed her hair on the tenth day of the lunar month last winter.
