Chen Shi

The first time Chen Zhi realized the importance of his sister was at his mother's funeral.

At that time, his father had already passed away, and his mother took up all the burdens of the family. In his name, she firmly controlled the position of head of the family and dealt with all the uncles.It's a pity that he was overworked. When he was 14 years old, he followed his father.The uncles came to provoke him, but before he could fight back, his sister had already thrown the brazier, crying and throwing a tantrum, which made the other party lose face and retreated without a fight.

That night, her small body curled up in his arms, like two little wolfhounds who lost their parents, warming each other with body heat.

Attacks on the Chen family came one after another, and the uncles finally underestimated the foreign enemies. Unity is the only way out, and finally subsided a little.He and his sister supported all the way, but they still couldn't restore the fading emperor's heart and the fading family.Until one day, she ran happily and said that she would enter the palace.

As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea.How could he let her go to that place where people cannibalize.Then there was a hunger strike that lasted for two days and two nights, and he lost completely.When parting, there was no scene of looking at each other and weeping. She was full of fighting spirit, like a female general who went to war, and vowed to reproduce the glory of the Chen family.What can he do?Cooperate naturally.So he tried every means to seek officialdom.

Looking back now, the persistence of that life is more like a support for Xiu Ning.If she hadn't been a daughter, she might be more suitable for the position of Patriarch than herself.

Although in his mind, Chen Xiuning was the most perfect woman in the world, but he had to admit that sometimes, she was so positive that it made people's scalp tingle.For example, now, while he was watching the scenery on the bridge, he blocked people and insisted on taking him to see Mrs. Wang.

Only then did Chen Zhi know that Wang Weixi was not a widower.

On the way, Wang Shuguang explained that her mother had been sick for many years and rarely saw outsiders. Her only hobby was praying to God and worshiping Buddha. When she heard that Immortal Chen was coming, she wanted to see her no matter what.

Speaking of the lingering sick bed, Chen Zhi thought of his father.His father was weak since he was a child, but by virtue of his dual identities as the legitimate son and the son of his grandfather's favorite woman, he was firmly seated as the head of the family.When I saw him when I was a child, I could smell the strong smell of medicine outside the door—just like now.

When Wang Shuguang pushed open the door, he heard the crisp sound of wooden fish knocking, and then a middle-aged woman came to welcome the light with the smell of medicine, and saluted: "The gods appreciate the light, and the succulents are full of brilliance."

Chen Zhi stared at her face, and didn't dare to move for a long time, his face was dark and stiff, as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Immortal?" Mrs. Wang approached him cautiously.

Chen Zhi exerted all his strength to restrain himself, and did not rush out the "father" that overflowed from his mouth.

The most absurd thing in this world is not that the younger sister in the previous life wants to marry the enemy in the previous life and the apprentice in this life, but that the father in the previous life appeared in front of him and became the sister's mother in the previous life.

He opened his mouth three times before calling out the word "madam".

Mrs. Wang said nervously, "Is there something wrong with old age?"

Chen Zhi said: "Madam is somewhat similar to an old friend of mine, I feel impolite when recalling the past."

She was still worried, Chen Zhi tried to comfort her again and again.

Wang Shuguang said: "Mother, I'm going to make tea, you sit down and chat first."

Mrs. Wang turned around, Chen Zhi subconsciously wanted to reach out for support, but the other party gave way, remembering that in the eyes of everyone, he was of the same generation as the other party, and he was also a man and a woman...

He followed awkwardly.

Mrs. Wang went out and walked under the banyan tree.There is a stone table under the tree, with a Go board engraved on the table, and three stone benches for playing and watching chess, which seems to be specially prepared for the three of them.

Mrs. Wang asked, "Do immortals play chess?"

Chen Zhi said, "Not often."

"Playing chess is good and nourishes the heart. Shu Guang likes to play chess on weekdays, but unfortunately I am not in good health, and her sister is not at home all year round, master..."

Chen Zhi thought he was going to say that Wang Weixi was also very busy, but she answered, "It's a stinky basket."

Shouldn't a dignified military strategist strategize and win a thousand miles?To be so disgusted by his wife, it can be seen that chess really stinks.

Chen Zhi smiled secretly.

Mrs. Wang turned chess into a sail, and talked about Shu Guang's childhood smoothly. She praised it once with benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, and then praised her appearance, virtue, words, and achievements.Shu Guang brought the tea at the right time, Mrs. Wang's mouth was so dry that she couldn't hold on, she took a sip of hot tea, her heart was warmed, and she consciously brainwashed Chen Zhi successfully.

Shu Guang said: "Mother, it's cold outside, and my head should hurt again." He helped her back, and when she came out again, Chen Zhi still sat under the tree and drank tea leisurely.It was rumored that the last emperor of the former dynasty transformed himself into an "immortal". She thought it was ridiculous at first, but when she saw the real person, she was a little believable. The free and easy manner that did not catch the eyes of the world was indeed the demeanor of an immortal she had seen.

Listening to her approaching footsteps, Chen Zhi remembered that she used to like to walk from behind, and then blindfolded herself, guessing what color she was wearing today.Very naive game, inexplicably never tired of it.

Shu Guang sat down opposite him: "My mother likes you very much."

Chen Zhi felt a chill down his spine, afraid that she would make him the son-in-law of the Wang family in the next sentence.Fortunately, she quickly changed the topic and talked about interesting things about her childhood.Chen Zhi fell into the childhood she described. If he is still Chen Yingke in the past 20 years, will he have the opportunity to participate in it and watch her grow slowly from a small bean sprout to a graceful and enchanting beauty again?

It doesn't have to be siblings, neighbors, family friends or elders.

She blinked suddenly, and looked at him shyly and playfully: "I like Rong Yun, can master accept me as his apprentice daughter-in-law?"

Brother, I want to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Guixianglou.

Brother, I want to go to the Lantern Festival.

Brother, I want to enter the palace.

……

It's like fate, which makes people unable to resist.I can only deliver the goods with one hand, and lead her to walk more steadily in this world with the other hand.

Mrs. Wang lived in a remote place, and it took nearly half an hour to walk back.Rong Yun stood on the bridge where he was originally viewing the scenery, staring at it from afar, and when he got closer, he looked away again, as if the person who stared straight-eyed just now was not him.

Chen Zhi's head was in a mess. Master, elder brother, matchmaker, Huang Tianya's staff... Various identities collided with each other, causing him to deviate from his course and almost jumped into the river.

Rong Yun walked over quickly, stopped him with one hand, and rushed to Shu Guang with one foot, her eyes full of alienation: "Thank you, Miss Wang, for sending Master back."

Shu Guang saluted with a smile, and left with a sense of humor.

Hearing the sound of footsteps fading away, Chen Zhi breathed a rare sigh of relief.

Rong Yun complained: "Master followed her and disappeared for two hours."

Chen Zhi looked at him speechlessly.I don't know how those men who raise jealous wives live on a daily basis, he feels that he is very useless, and his teacher is really weak.But then he remembered the conversation with Shu Guang, and felt guilty again, and said kindly: "I went to see Mrs. Wang."

See mother alone with daughter?This is not bad!

Rong Yun had chest tightness and shortness of breath: "Mrs. Wang didn't attend last night's banquet, but she wanted to see you alone, which fully proves that the relationship between Wang Weixi and his wife is not good. You see, after getting married, they end up as strangers. Why waste all the trouble. In my opinion, there is no guarantee of getting married, but the friendship between master and apprentice is more reliable."

The eye drops are too simple and rude!

Chen Zhi said: "There are too many people who deceive their masters and destroy their ancestors."

Rong Yun was dissatisfied: "Why are there so many? But everyone who deceives the master and destroys the ancestors is well known, and everyone yells and beats them, so it can be seen that they are few. Besides, I am not someone else. Does the master still doubt me for so many years?" Is it reverence and admiration for Master?"

Well done, why did you start expressing your feelings?Chen Zhi had no choice but to follow suit: "Well, I am not someone else, I will not marry a wife, let alone marry Wang's daughter. It is absolutely impossible."

Rong Yun was half-hearted: "What about me? Will Master let me marry?"

Chen Zhi couldn't answer.

The benefits of Rong Yun marrying Shu Guang are obvious: to promote the union of Jiangnan and Yan Dynasty, and lay a solid foundation for the unification of the world; to fulfill Shu Guang's wish; to have Rong Yun, the country can continue for another hundred years; he has completed his mission and returned to the Heavenly Palace ...

But, should this be in vain of Gu Rongyun's wishes?

Wang Weixi seems to be in a fight with Chen Zhi. If he doesn't let go of his promise to marry him, Rong Yun will be left alone.

In a blink of an eye, it has been six days since he came to the capital, except for the reception banquet on the first day, Wang Weixi never appeared again, but Mrs. Wang invited Chen Zhi to sit down from time to time.Shu Guang met Rong Yun several times, but still didn't strike up a conversation.Since Chen Zhi didn't answer his question that day, at this moment he was guarding against Wang Shuguang like a pervert, for fear that he would be taken advantage of accidentally, so he would promise him with his body.

Chen Zhichang took Rong Yun to visit Yinshan Gong, and by the way made friends with a few descendants of aristocratic families who survived the purge.When chatting, it is inevitable to ask about old people.The flawless young man who met under the moon survived Cui Yan's poisonous hands, but not Wang Weixi's destruction of flowers. He failed in the rebellion, and was asked to kill along with the Nian family.

Chen Zhi thought of the posthumous son of the former empress and the first emperor who escaped from the palace. They were attached to Nian's family, so they probably couldn't escape this catastrophe.In this way, Chen Xuanxiang is the only one remaining in Chen Chao's bloodline.

Rong Yun was very interested in Chen Zhi's past, not only listened carefully, but also asked carefully, even Yin Monkey couldn't help but tease him for being the housekeeper.

Rong Yun was not ashamed, but rather proud, and said complacently: "In a family, of course there are people who do things and people who enjoy the blessings."

That's what I said!It was almost time to convince him.The clever little fox!

Chen Zhi pretended to look at the tortoise-like white clouds in the sky, then turned his head to him.

After being idle for a few days, suddenly I couldn't be idle again, for no other reason, and Tan Shu arrived.He drove lightly and kept a low profile. After checking into the inn, he didn't rush to find the door. Instead, he sneaked into Taiwei's mansion in the middle of the night and tiptoed to Chen Zhi's bedside.

Chen Zhi woke up from his sleep and saw a dark shadow overlooking him, so frightened that he almost flew up again.

"It's me." Tan Shu whispered.

Chen Zhigu got up, shrank the quilt to the foot of the bed, and said in shock, "Why are you here?"

Tan Shu said, "I have something to discuss with you."
