There is no impenetrable wall in the world.Even though Wen Fei was accosted in the Xu Mansion, there were not many people around him there at the time, but since the girl from the Wang family came with a purpose, the news leaked out after all.

The first to hear the news was the Chu family, the most powerful and well-informed in Changzhou.

After Chu Hui heard the news from his grandfather, he hurried to find Chu Xi, told her the matter, and finally hesitated: "Little sister, it's been a while since you came back to Changzhou. If you don't write a letter, let the news Will the general come over to the mansion to have a talk?"

Chu Hui said this a little implicitly, but in fact, it was to let Wen Fei take the initiative to visit her - Chu Heng is old and senior, it is impossible for the Chu family to take the initiative, but it is not a bad thing for her to let Wen Fei visit .As soon as the two families had a marriage gifted by the emperor, Wen Fei should of course come to pay a visit to the elders.Secondly, she came to the door at this time, and the Chu family received her, that is to say, they protected her under their wings.

Chu Xi naturally understood what Chu Hui meant, but she didn't respond, she just lowered her eyes and said, "Let her go."

Chu Hui was a little surprised when he heard the words. He thought that with his little sister's defensive nature, he must care about it after knowing this, but who knew...he carefully peeked at Chu Xi several times, and hesitated to speak.

Chu Xi didn't notice anything, so he said helplessly, "Brother, just say what you want to say."

Chu Hui had actually been holding back for several days, from the time the two of them entered the city until now, and finally said without hesitation: "Little sister, I just want to ask, what happened to you and General Wen? You said that you are close, why did you go home and didn’t see you mentioning her, nor did you see her visit.” After a slight pause, he finally asked: “Are you really just quarreling?”

He was a little worried, afraid that the two of them would be young and energetic, and they would miss it because of some awkwardness... It would not be a big deal to miss this marriage, how could the girl from the Chu family worry about getting married?I'm afraid that the younger sister's heart is moved but she fails to fulfill her wish, which will be a pity in the end.

Facing her brother's concerned eyes, Chu Xi remained silent, because the problem between her and Wen Fei was not as simple as arguing.But she didn't dare to talk too much with her brother, because she was afraid that the other party would get to the bottom of it, and it would be better not to start the topic now than to make up a lie.

Fortunately, Chu Hui is a considerate person. Even though Chu Xi asked him to ask but refused to give him an answer, seeing that his sister didn't want to say it, he still didn't pursue it, and didn't say any more disappointing topics.He only sighed secretly in his heart, but didn't reveal anything on his face. He changed the subject and said, "Since you don't want to talk, I won't ask. But little sister, you don't seem to be in a good mood. Brother, take you How about going out for a walk? You haven't come back for a long time, and there are still some changes in this city."

Chu Xi had already broken her promise once, so this time it was naturally not good to refute Chu Hui's kindness, so after thinking about it, she nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, Chu Hui became happy again, and then thought that it would be better to hit the sun than choose a day, so he asked Chu Xi to change the clothes he went out, and then led his sister to go out to relax.

************************************************** ******************

It has been several years since Chu Xi went to Chang'an, and when she returned to Changzhou, the city was still the same as she remembered—no, maybe it can't be said that, it should be said that Changzhou at this time was more prosperous than she remembered, especially In contrast to those previous state capitals.

A flood has affected most of the south of the Yangtze River, and the prosperous and prosperous places in the past have become devastated.

Chu Xi used to be an aristocratic daughter who was raised in a deep boudoir. Even though she was well-educated since she was a child, she still didn't understand the sufferings of the world.There were many twists and turns in the journey until she went south, but she had seen too many tragedies that she had never seen before.So much so that when she walked out of the house and saw this bustling city, she felt a little unaccustomed to it in a daze.

Chu Hui didn't know if he noticed Chu Xi's trance, and introduced the changes around him with great interest: "Little sister, you have been in Chang'an for three or four years, and there have been many changes in the city in recent years." Then he began to point out: "Look there, a new bell tower has been built. And over there, the Wuji pastry you used to love is gone now..."

Chu Xi was not very interested at first, but seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery in front of her, she gradually became interested.She followed Chu Hui's directions, first at the tall building standing in the city, and then at the shop she was familiar with before.

Sure enough, the familiar pastry shop disappeared and turned into a grocery store.

Chu Xi was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking: "I remember that the business of Wuji Bakery has always been very good, but the supply of crystal cakes in his family is in short supply. How come it's only been a few years, and even the shop is gone?!"

Seeing that she was really bluffed, Chu Hui couldn't help laughing, and winked at her again: "Of course it's because Wu Ji's business is so good and he made a lot of money. This small shop can't supply, so they changed their house." It's a bigger store." He raised his finger and pointed in a direction: "Here, it's on the next street, not far away, can my little sister go and have a look?"

Only then did Chu Xi realize that he had been fooled by him, and she suddenly laughed.But since the two of them are out for a walk, it doesn't matter where they go, not to mention that Chu Xi may not have eaten Wu Ji's crystal cake for many years, and Chu Hui's mention made her interested, so she went happily.

The siblings strolled while talking and laughing, turned the corner of the street, and came to the street that Chu Hui had mentioned.

Chu Hui was right. Wu Ji’s business is really good. As soon as the brother and sister turned the corner, they saw a long queue not far in front of them. At first glance, there were servants and servants waiting in line to buy crystal cakes——Wu There are many kinds of desserts in Ji Bakery, but the most expensive and most sought after is the famous crystal cake.Therefore, in addition to buying crystal cakes, you need to queue up, but you don’t need to queue up to buy other pastries.

Seeing this scene, Chu Hui smiled and said: "Wu Ji's business is really good as always. If my younger sister wants to eat crystal cakes, I'm afraid I have to ask someone to buy them. You and I come here so casually, I'm afraid they won't be able to buy them." Arrived."

Chu Hui said casually, but Chu Xi didn't respond when he finished speaking, but when he turned his head, he found that she was staring at the front not far away.

With three points of curiosity, Chu Hui followed Chu Xi's gaze and looked over.I saw pedestrians coming and going on the street, there were peddlers and pawns, there were also scholars in company, and occasionally there were a few nobles from aristocratic families laughing and passing by, these are all very common scenes... No, no, in this very normal scene , There are also a few unusual people!

Chu Hui narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes quickly locked on one person—the one wearing a light yellow dress, who was somewhat similar to his little sister, should be the rumored Wang Siniang, right? !

There are many marriages among the aristocratic families, even though the Wang family is not a famous family in Changzhou, Wang Lang still proposed to marry the daughter of a side branch of the Chu family.It is precisely because of this slight blood connection that the sons and daughters of the Wang family are more or less similar to the Chu family.Whether it's eyebrows or eyes, the one who looks the most like Chu Xi is this Wang Siniang.

The two of them have never been together before, otherwise people who don't know will probably think they are two sisters if they see each other!

Among the descendants of the Chu family, there is only one daughter, Chu Xi. Normally speaking, when seeing someone who looks similar to her sister, Chu Hui should love her.But today he just heard about the Wang family's plan from his grandfather, now he just feels bored seeing Wang Siniang.

Disgusted even at a single glance, Chu Hui was about to look away, but his gaze fell on the person opposite Wang Siniang again - thin figure, face like a girl, although it was a face he had never seen before, but it should not be the one he had never met General Wen... right?

Chu Hui thought about it uncertainly, and when his eyes turned back to Chu Xi, that uncertainty instantly became certain.He tugged on Chu Xi's sleeve with a complicated expression, and called softly: "Little sister..."

Chu Xi withdrew his gaze, and when his gaze turned to Chu Hui, he became nonchalant again: "Brother, what's the matter?"

She was acting too calmly at the moment, if Chu Hui hadn't seen her burning eyes, ready to breathe fire, she would have been almost intimidated by her.But as an older brother, he naturally wouldn't tear down his younger sister's stage, so Chu Hui pretended he didn't see anything, and said solemnly: "Little sister, the person in front is Wang Siniang, shall we go up and say hello?"

While talking, Chu Hui observed Chu Xi's reaction, not missing the flash of struggle in her eyes.Although he didn't understand what she was hesitating and struggling for, Chu Hui had a decision in his heart when he saw this, and immediately stepped forward.

Sure enough, Chu Xi only pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment, then stepped up to follow.

On the other side, Wen Fei was already impatient with pestering her, and planned to leave—in addition to testing her out today, she also wanted to see the refugees outside the city.After all, those refugees were all attracted by her, and Changzhou was not affected by the disaster unexpectedly, so whether the governor of Changzhou will open a warehouse for those refugees and how much food will be released has become a problem.

Wen Fei wanted to go outside the city to see the situation, to see whether it was the government or the Chu family who were serving porridge outside the city.If it is the former, she intends to give advice to the government, and it is far better to use work for relief than to support those refugees for nothing.But if it is the latter, she owes the Chu family, and when she returns to Chang'an, she has to make up for the expenses to the Chu family.

It's just that Wen Fei planned well, but unexpectedly, he was already being targeted.She went out for only half a quarter of an hour, and before she even saw the shadow of the city gate, she was blocked by Wang Siniang who she just met yesterday!

Wen Fei reacted quickly yesterday, and ran away without waiting for the other party to say anything more. In addition, there was Xu Mao present, so Wang Siniang couldn't do anything.But today is different, Wang Siniang, who came here specially to block people, obviously has a lot less worries, she greets her as soon as her eyes light up, and opens her mouth to make friends with what happened yesterday.God knows that the two of them just met yesterday, so what kind of friendship is there?

Years of upbringing made Wen Fei resist the urge to roll her eyes, but before she euphemistically expressed that the two of them didn't know each other at all, Wang Siniang, who was opposite, had already started a new round of topics - expressing her admiration for her.

Wang Siniang obviously did enough homework to come here today, she looked at Wen Fei with burning eyes, and she talked about her achievements over the years like a treasure.However, she is still a young and beautiful girl. If a normal man hears her praise, he will be flattered for a while... Even Wen Fei's personal guards can't help being proud.

Only Wen Fei, under the flattery of the other party, not only did not float up, but became more vigilant on the contrary.Then, when Wang Siniang looked at her with admiring eyes, goosebumps all over her body, and she just wanted to get away quickly.

But before Wen Fei could make a move, he raised his eyes and saw a familiar figure walking towards her.

The author has something to say: Chu Hui (not too serious): Sister, how do you feel when you see your fiancé with other women?

Chu Xi (the cloud is calm and the wind is light): I don't have any feelings, I just want to kill someone.
