Propose a hundred times

If the county yamen is a solemn and sacred place, then the Chen Mansion is like a grand and simple courtyard, with the atmosphere of a scholarly home, making the visiting countrymen Yuan Shaoan and Liu Wangxi unconsciously look up.

"I didn't expect the Chen family to be so grand!"

"Yes, I have never been in such a magnificent courtyard."

Both of them were overwhelmed by this high-ranking and wealthy family. They, ordinary people with ordinary hair, felt a little nervous and timid in front of such a wealthy family, but they did not retreat. They only reported their names and intentions under the strange eyes of the guards. .Not knowing what it meant, the other party looked at Shao'an more, and then followed the concierge into the mansion to report.After a while, it was Chen Shijie himself who greeted him.

"Andy, brother Wangxi, I didn't expect you to come! Welcome!"

I accompanied the villagers to the city to sell grain today, so I just wanted to drop by to see you hehe. "

"Okay, you two haven't had dinner yet, it happens to be eating at home, come quickly."

Chen Shijie looked very happy, exchanged a few pleasantries at the door, and welcomed the two into the mansion with due courtesy.

There was food to eat as soon as they came, and the hearts of the two who were tired all day were happy.For such a dignified and respectable family like Chen's, the dinner table should not be very ordinary, hee hee!

Chen's Mansion is a large courtyard with three entrances. After entering the vestibule, walk along the stone road, pass through the flower garden, and then arrive at the reception hall.Next to the hall is the spacious dining room, where the Chen family members are sitting around and preparing to eat.Chen Shijie had something to say in advance, so he came out and led Yuan Shaoan and Liu Wangxi straight here, so the rest of the Chen family didn't go to the living room to greet them, they just sat and waited.

"Brother Andi Wangxi, this way please. Father, mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, this is Shijie's benefactor, Mr. Yuan Shaoan, and this is his younger brother, Brother Wangxi Liu."

As Chen Shijie introduced, the people present here include his parents, brother and sister-in-law, and even his two nephews, a large family. When they saw Yuan Shaoan and Liu Wangxi for the first time, they couldn't help but be curious.

"Is this Brother Yuan? Thanks to Brother Yuan's help that day, Jie'er and the others were able to resolve the predicament."

Master Chen's facial features are very refined and elegant, his words are sincere and polite, his attitude is polite and alienated, which is completely different from those elders whom Yuan Shao'an and the others have come into contact with in the countryside.

"Master Chen and Mrs. Chen are polite, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen Shao are also polite. This is Yuan Shao'an. It's really rude to come to visit you suddenly today..."

The rest of the Chen family didn't say much, Shao'an took the initiative to say hello, and just nodded their heads one by one, seeming more distant than Master Chen.Even the two half-grown children were well-educated and listened and watched quietly, doing nothing extra.

From the atmosphere to the psychology, Yuan Shaoan could feel the embarrassment.Fortunately, he was born with a thick-skinned face and a clever mouth, so he bit the bullet and said a few polite and acid words to deal with the situation, which was barely enough.

Compared with Yuan Shaoan's semi-immature and semi-smooth, Liu Wangxi's purebred stunned young man's performance is particularly cramped. A big man stands beside him without saying a word and laughing dryly, adding to the already somewhat unnatural atmosphere. Very embarrassing.

Fortunately, there was a Second Young Master Chen who warmly greeted them to take their seats: "Come on, let's sit down and eat first. I don't know if you two will come today, but the dinner table is just ordinary dishes. Let's just treat them like we are in Fenghuang Village. Don't be restrained." good?"

Naturally, that's good, but it's impossible to be completely unrestrained.

It's just that I've come here, and I didn't think much about it before I came, so I can't be hypocritical right now.Shao'an and the two sat down as they said, both of them were a little embarrassed.

"Okay, excuse me."

Seeing that Brother Shijie is so open-minded and calm at ordinary times, he thinks that the Chen family is at least not rigid and difficult to get close to. Now that he sees him, he understands what rules are, what etiquette is, and what a big family is.Yuan Shaoan felt a little self-consciously melancholy, and finally regretted today's rash visit.

There are many rules in the rich family. At the dinner table, it is just some basic rules not to eat or sleep. The arrival of Yuan Shaoan and Liu Wangxi slightly broke their rules.

Fortunately, although Shaoan came to the door rashly, although he was embarrassed, his mind was still flexible. His eyes rolled around, and he had a little understanding of the rules and regulations of the dining table of the rich family. He kicked Liu Wangxi under the table to remind him to pay attention to his appearance and behavior.The latter was bowing his waist and burying his head in grilling rice, when he was kicked suddenly, looked up in a daze, followed by rolling his eyes, and then understood, straightened his back immediately, held the bowl in his left hand, and held the chopsticks in his right, looking very good Eat up.

Seeing this, everyone in the Chen family didn't change their expressions, as if they were not surprised, and continued to eat quietly, but they didn't know what they were thinking.

It seemed that the two of them were uncomfortable. During the meal, Chen Shijie chatted with the two guests in a very considerate way, and served them dishes from time to time, so as to relieve the discomfort of both parties.

"By the way, Didn't Andi say that he entered the city with the grain sales team today? What about the others? Brother Wangxi's father is also there, why don't you take him and sit down under the house? Could it be that they all go to the inn? gone?"

"My father and the others have gone back and will not spend the night in the city. Shao'an and I will stay tonight."

Brother Wangxi answered with a mouth full of food. Hearing the ambiguous and rough voice, everyone in the Chen family was taken aback. A slightly disgusted glance swept over, and Yuan Shaoan was immediately embarrassed, and secretly rolled his invisible eyes at that person: Dude, you're not here to open your eyes, you're here to open the eyes of the Chen family, right?

Chen Shijie didn't feel anything strange or ignored it. Chen Shijie was still so enthusiastic: "Ah, are you going back at this hour? It's too much. If there is any inconvenience, you can come to Chen's residence and let me know if I can help you." Just make arrangements for one or two!"

"It's nothing." Shao'an took a sip of the mellow and delicious fresh soup, and replied: "Country people are not afraid of walking at night, and you can't arrange for so many people. Thank you, brother Shijie."

"But Fenghuang Village is a long way from the county after all, if we go back so late, wouldn't it be..."

"It's okay, Mr. Chen, when we came, most of us were driving ox carts and donkey carts to pull goods. It's easy to sell grain and goods without a car. They sit up, and the return journey is much faster than when they came, but they are definitely not as good as you. Haha...they will definitely be able to return to Fenghuang Village tonight, and Shaoan and I just want to come tonight...we just want to stay in the city for a night of shopping and go back tomorrow."

At this point in the conversation, the meaning is clear.Master Chen swallowed a mouthful of food, stopped his chopsticks and looked over, the master's demeanor and etiquette were unambiguous,

"Since that's the case, the two little brothers should rest in the humble house tonight. Since you are here, you are the guests of my Chen family. There is absolutely no reason for the two of you to go out to live in the inn again. Fulai, go prepare two guest rooms."

"Then...thank you, Mr. Chen!"

Although embarrassing, in the end the goal has been achieved, and Shaoan and Wangxi looked at each other, feeling greatly reconciled.

A dinner begins and ends in an awkward yet polite atmosphere between the host and the guest.After the meal, the two guests who were left overnight, accompanied by Mr. Chen Ergong, went out to visit the night market, returned to the mansion and sent them to the door. It was agreed that they would take them around the mansion tomorrow, and told the servants to take good care of them. , then don't leave.

After seeing off Chen Shijie, Yuan Shaoan and Liu Wangxi completely relaxed their bodies and minds. They each leaned on a chair, let out a long sigh, and then expressed their emotions.

"Hey—it really is a big family, and we country people can't understand it, tsk tsk tsk..."

"Oh—it really is a big family, the yard is big, the room is big, the table for eating is also big, the food is so delicious, tsk tsk tsk..."

"Eat, eat, eat! You know how to eat! Liu Wangxi, do you know that you will be ashamed to death when you eat!"

Shaoan kicked him, and couldn't help but scold him.The person who was kicked is not polite, he accepts all the orders, and then throws them back, stretches his long legs and kicks them back, slaps them back,

"Aren't you ashamed? You keep talking nonsense with Mr. Chen. I think Mrs. Chen's face is turning green. Are you short-hearted? You know that Mr. Chen likes men, and you still treat him in front of his whole family." The face of the person rushes to be warm with the person."

Both were right.Liu Wangxi's full-fledged appearance of a countryman did not like the Chen family very much.However, this is just Xiao Wu. What they really care about is the closeness between Yuan Shaoan and Chen Shijie.

The Chen family is well aware of Chen Shijie's orientation. Such preferences are different from ordinary people's preferences, which are not different from the general scholarly family who pay attention to the three cardinal principles and five constant rules.However, Chen Shijie was straightforward about this rather than concealing it tactfully. It can be seen that this Chen family is by no means an ordinary scholarly family.

However, no matter how uncommon, it is not so uncommon that he can tolerate that his son-in-law likes men and has a crush on a man who raises pigs in the countryside.Although Yuan Shaoan's appearance was passable, his manners were not too vulgar, he was also considered clever, and he was Chen Shijie's benefactor.

Don't look at Liu Wangxi, who looks like a big, stupid, stupefied young man on the outside, but at the critical moment, his heart is clear. A few sentences wake up Yuan Shaoan, and he brings up a problem that she has never faced squarely. She is a man dressed as a woman. Here is a man.And Chen Gongzi likes men is a tacit fact that almost everyone knows.

No wonder, since she went to the county government office, she has noticed something strange. No wonder the Chen family has such an indifferent attitude towards her benefactor. It turns out that everything has something to do with Chen Shijie and the second son of Chen Shijie.

They chattered another hundred and eighty sentences to each other, it was the end of the Hai, and the night was already deep.After driving away Liu Wangxi, Shaoan sat silently for a long time, thinking whether it is necessary to test whether Chen Shijie has a manly intention for her, and whether it is necessary to be open and honest, and confess his identity to Shijie's brother...

With such thoughts on his mind, Yuan Shaoan entered the bathroom in the side room, lifted the big lid on the tub, tested the water temperature with his hand, nodded, grabbed the change of clothes brought in by the maid of the Chen family, looked here and there, touched He touched it, nodded again, put down his clothes and began to undress, took off his body and faced the cold night, shivered, grabbed a handful of petals from the stage and sprinkled them into the bucket, and was stirring vigorously when there was the sound of rubble colliding above his head in vain , followed by a "swish" sound as if something flew away, and immediately frightened her three souls and seven souls, her heart was pounding, she hurriedly stepped up the small wooden ladder, and jumped into the water naked buried...

I drop a Nyonya!Was it haunted in the middle of the night?
