??Chapter 781 Reporting
??Chen Yanrong said with a sad look, "Why is my sister so miserable? Why is Daddy so cruel?"
Chen Yanchu only knew how to cry with her mouth covered, but she didn't see the smile and sarcasm hidden in Chen Yanrong's eyes. She couldn't help crying, and soon hiccupped. The maids and women in the courtyard were frightened and panicked, making a fuss.
?? Soon, everyone in the family knew that the eldest girl was a nympho, and she had a deep-rooted affection for the eldest son of the Gu family. When she heard that the eldest son of the Gu family was engaged, she vomited blood.
??Chen Yanrong waited in the Peony Courtyard until the evening before going back. When she came out of the Peony Courtyard, the corners of her lips were slowly raised, and she smiled freely.
??Her mother Song was favored but had no children, and she was the only one under her knee.
??When Chen Yanchu was born, a wandering monk came to beg for alms. He told Chen Min that the newborn girl in the family would be a hindrance to her parents, and she could not be kept by her side until she was eight years old.
??Chen Min didn't believe it at first, but when Lin's confinement contracted a serious illness and almost died, Chen Min had no choice but to believe it, and took her daughter to the Lin family to raise her, and brought her back when she was nine years old.
Although Chen Yanchu was favored, she was not close to the Chen family, nor was she close to her elder brother Chen Li. On the contrary, Chen Yanrong was taught by her mother since she was a child, and she was very close to her elder brother. Therefore, if there was any news from Chen Li, she quickly Just know.
??She is a concubine, and there will be no good marriage in the future. For her, being a concubine to the second prince is the best way out.
??The Governor's Office of the River Channel is located in Xuzhou, and it takes less than two days to reach Chuzhou along the Grand Canal.
??Only two days after the first month, Xiao Changyao bid farewell to his wife and children, and went down the Grand Canal into Chuzhou. After the canal reached Chuzhou, it turned south and entered Yangzhou.
??Xiao Changyao was wearing a blue padded jacket and wrapped in a big cloak. He sat at a wonton stand by the roadside, ordered a bowl of wontons, and chatted with the stall owner while eating.
?? "You always come out to work sooner or later. It's not a new year at home?"
"I came out on the tenth day of the lunar new year, and I can't stay at home. This year looks good, and I can earn two copper coins every day when I come out. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and it will be more lively. I rest at home before noon, and after noon, There are too many people shopping here, and we still have to come out to set up a stall, ordinary people, how can so many relatives leave?"
"What about you, sir, your accent doesn't look like someone from here, why don't you celebrate the New Year at home?" The stall owner rolled his sleeves and sat by the stove. He was old, with gray hair and beard, but he was dressed Washed very clean, people are also neat, not to be disgusted by others.
"I can't help it. Who wouldn't want to be at this time, the wife and children at home are hot on the kang, but now spring is coming, the ice and snow are melting, and the water is rushing. If there is something wrong with the river, it will be a season of farm work. what to eat?"
Xiao Changyao took a sip of the soup, and his body became warm immediately. He asked Tongan, the boy beside him, to buy two sesame seed cakes to satisfy his hunger, and continued, "My wife just gave birth to a daughter for me. It's only been less than half a year. Come out and have a look, even sitting at home is uncomfortable."
The stall owner felt soft-hearted, and was about to speak when he saw two men in brocade clothes. One was younger. Seeing the young man's eyes lit up, he came over and bowed his hands, "Second...Your Highness, so it is really you?"
Chen Li made a look of ecstasy, "You came to Chuzhou, why didn't you send someone to say something? This... Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, ah, are you here to patrol the river? Your Highness, you send someone out Just take a look, why don't you make a trip yourself, please go and rest at the end of the day, and the end of the day will do a little bit of the landlord's friendship."
??Xiao Changyao didn't want to startle the local government. For him, the lower the profile, the better. However, the purpose of Chen Li's trip was Xiao Changyao, and he was almost forcibly taken away.
??Seeing this, the wonton stall owner hurriedly closed the stall, shouting "Sell wontons" all the way, and followed the direction Tong An left.
Tong An finally found a sesame seed stall, bought three sesame seed cakes for double the price, and planned to eat one by himself. When he saw the owner of the wonton stall, he was almost surprised. Talk about taking away.
"Xiaomin looked like a general, but later I heard that he was probably the young master of the Chen family. Little brother, don't throw yourself into the trap right now, take care of yourself, and see if you can find someone to save the Second Highness, alas, again There is no such good officer."
??Tong An was taken aback. He hurriedly thanked the stall owner, looked around, saw no one was following him, and ran away in a hurry.
?? Right now, for Tongan, he can only send reliable people back to report the news, and find out the news by himself. Why did the other party arrest His Highness?
??Tong An couldn't help but think of the Gu family. When His Royal Highness came to Chuzhou last year, he brought a letter for the eldest son of the Gu family, settled in the Gu family, and had a good chat with the old man of the Gu family.
Gu Lin was a former secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. When he saw Tong An and heard Tong An's words, he slapped his head suddenly. After he finished speaking, Chen Min felt disobedient, and Xiao Changyao was by no means the kind who could be used as a puppet people.
And right now, Chen Min didn't know he was in the situation, thinking that with Xiao Changyao, he would be able to respond to all calls. He only had 30,000 soldiers in his hand, and he had never led an army to fight a big battle in his life. , Any general under his command will be stronger than Chen Min.
??Chen Min is not looking for wealth and honor in danger, but seeking death, but it doesn't matter if he seeks death, but he can't harm Xiao Changyao.
Gu Lin called his son over and said, "You should find a way to leave Chuzhou. I'm worried that there are people from Chen Min in the second concubine's place. He is a military general. You must guard against this. Hurry up and go to the capital to find Xie's family." Or the Cui family, tell them about the second prince being detained by Chen Min."
Gu Lin thought for a while, and only asked his son to report the letter alone. If there was an emergency, it would not work, so he called his grandson Gu Ji, "Since the Chen family thinks that you have a marriage contract with the girl from the Qiao family, then you should prepare for it." Please, go to Yanjing Mansion in person."
??The news that Gu's father and son went to Yanjing Mansion came. Chen Yanchu seemed to be terminally ill, lying on the bed without eating or drinking. In less than half a day, there were rumors all over the city that the eldest daughter of the Chen family was suffering from lovesickness and was about to die.
??After Chen Min found out, he scolded his wife, Mrs. Lin, severely, "You have no way to teach a daughter. You spoiled this daughter so much. If it gets out, what face will the Chen family have?"
The Lin family also cried, "How did the Gu family get married with the Qiao family? One is in the south and the other is in the north. It is said that the old man Gu met the old man of the Qiao family when he was in the capital in the early years, but at that time, Youzhou was not the north. Is it a contract?"
??Chen Min didn't care, if the Gu family wanted to get rid of the entanglement of the Chen family girl, it would only make the Chen family more embarrassing.
?? The first update!
