Chen Chang happened to have a dream when he was woken up early in the morning.
In the dream, Shui Ling'er was clinging to him, her face as white as jade leaning on his arm, sweetly sketching out the fragile future between him and her.
"It would be nice if we could have a home of our own, even a small thatched house."
The girl nestled in his arms, her two naughty little feet raised restlessly.
"I am penniless now, but I am working hard to make money..." Chen Chang's expression was bitter but with a little confidence.
"Money is something external to the body. I don't want you to work too hard." Shui Ling'er didn't care.
"The purpose of making money is to be able to have our own home..."
Holding his arm, her pretty face raised slightly, Shui Ling'er smiled sweetly: "Actually, I'm just saying that, you don't have to take it too seriously, as long as I can be with you, I'll be satisfied!"<
/p>
Shui Ling'er raised her little face, her eyes slightly narrowed, but her face was full of a little pride.
Shui Ling'er may not know what love is, she just knows that she has to be good to the man next to her, and do it with all her heart and soul.
Although Chen Chang can't make any promises to him now, Shui Ling'er has no hesitation in paying for him.
The rapid knock on the door woke Chen Chang from his dream.
When I opened my eyes, I felt that the corners of my eyes were moist.
The bedroom that caught his eye, the antique decoration, and the bookshelves full of books all reminded him of a fact.
She is not by his side!
The knock on the door was urgent, but cautious, for fear of upsetting him.
Chen Chang worked hard to calm down his emotions. He didn't like to vent his negative emotions on irrelevant people.
"Uncle, please wake up. The old lady invites you to come."
The crisp voice of the little fish sounded outside.
She also knows that disturbing someone's dream is a very annoying thing, so she can't help but feel uneasy when she wakes up Chen Chang.
If I were in another wealthy family, I would be slapped if I woke up the owner so rashly.
Chen Chang got up from the couch, opened the door, and smiled at Xiao Yu'er.
He couldn't afford to be idle for this innocent girl.
The morning sun fell on her pretty face that could be broken by a blow, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, full of agility and vitality.
What an enviable age.
"Uncle, the old lady sent someone here early in the morning to deliver a message, so this maid..."
Chen Chang waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to explain too much.
Xiao Yu'er helped him tidy up his clothes, and after Chen Chang simply washed up, the two went out.
Xiao Yuer respectfully leads the way.
When passing by Lou Qingyi's courtyard, I found that she also walked out accompanied by Zi Ling.
Chen Chang was slightly surprised. Didn't the old lady summon them both at the same time?
Thinking that the old lady's health was not particularly good, could it be that something happened if they were summoned so suddenly?
He turned his head to ask Xiao Yu'er. Xiao Yu'er understood, shook his head and said, "My servant saw that the messenger's expression was normal. There was nothing special about him."
That's good, that's good...
Chen Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.
Although the old man is old, he is not a rigid person and is still very open-minded on certain issues.
Lou Qingyi just glanced at Chen Chang and nodded slightly, which was regarded as saying hello.
She got up early.
Chen Chang looked up at the sky. People in this era are used to getting up early, and most people don't have the habit of staying up late. There are not many people like him who occasionally sleep in.
What on earth do the old ladies want to do when they call them "husband and wife" early in the morning?
I saw him doing fine a few days ago, so it's unlikely that he's in a physical condition.
Then there must be something important.
There was nothing to say all the way, and indeed there was nothing to say to Lou Qingyi.
Even Xiao Yu'er and Zi Ling who were following behind said nothing.
Chen Chang sighed secretly, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Standing outside the study, Chen Chang gently knocked on the door.
"Aweng, Aweng..."
Even if we are a family, even if the elderly in the house are our relatives, we must abide by the rules. This is also education.
The old lady's old voice came from the study: "Come in."
Chen Chang pushed the door open, and Lou Qingyi stepped back and walked in. They stood in front of the old lady and bowed first: "I've met Aweng."
"My granddaughter has met Aweng!"
The old lady looks good, with a little rosiness on her cheeks, but her eyes are a little unkind.
This can't help but make Chen Chang feel a little uneasy.
Did you offend the old man in some way?
The next moment, the old man stared at his granddaughter with a frosty face, and said coldly: "Qingyi, I heard that you two don't even talk to each other on weekdays?"
Chen Chang suddenly realized that he was hitting Lou Qingyi, and the target was not directed at him.
Lou Qingyi knew what the old man was talking about, so he just said calmly: "Ah, you're not feeling well yet, so don't worry about these little things. You can take care of yourself with peace of mind."
Chen Chang smacked his tongue, this is to give the old man a soft nail.
The old man said angrily: "How is this a trivial matter? Don't think that if you return to Jiangling safely, you can wipe out the past! In any case, you two are husband and wife. In this case, you must act like a husband and wife.
At least outsiders can’t find fault with it.”
Chen Chang thought to himself, who is talking nonsense?
Lou Qingyi remained calm and said calmly: "Yes, my granddaughter will follow Aweng's teachings."
The old man sighed and said: "I know that this arrangement is unfair to both of you. I called you two here today just to talk about the matter openly and honestly, so that everyone can feel better.
”
As he said that, he glanced at Chen Chang.
I don’t have a grudge in my heart. The one who does have a grudge is your granddaughter, Chen Chang complained.
The old man continued: "Qingyi, even though Chen Chang has not only had eight fights, is rich in knowledge, does not have thousands of hectares of fertile land, and has millions of wealth, he is still honest. Our Lou family and Chen family also have friendship. You treat him like this."
Don’t you think it’s too much to leave it alone?”
"My granddaughter doesn't think it's too much. Ah Weng, although we are engaged, we are not each other's sweethearts, let alone a good match. Getting married is just a temporary expedient." Lou Qingyi said with a smile.
Chen Chang couldn't help but secretly praise that Lou Qingyi dared to speak out and directly said what was in his heart.
Wouldn't it be better to be more tactful? At least give the old lady some face.
Sure enough, the old lady looked even more displeased and said in a deep voice: "Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"
"I have thought about it, our Lou family is not in peace now, this is tantamount to giving excuses to the second and third bedrooms. However, please rest assured, Ah Weng, as long as the second and third uncles do not go too far, my granddaughter will not compete with them for a short time.
Yes, after all, the blood of the Lou family flows in our bodies."
The old man snorted coldly: "You are very sober. You are not willing to fight over the situation, but will they?"
It is your own son who knows best. The second and third sons will not give up.
"My granddaughter is willing to divide part of the property of the big house to the other two houses, and move with my mother to a village outside the city."
"Can escaping solve the problem? Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!"
"What these two families are looking at is our property and shop. It's not impossible to exchange these external possessions for a moment of peace."
"Nonsense, don't you, a niece, know what your second and third uncles are like? Do you think temporary tolerance will bring temporary peace?"
The old man didn't wait for Lou Qingyi's answer, but turned to Chen Chang: "Tell me."
