The bright moon is bright and the night is as dark as water. The pavilion in the depths of the courtyard is hidden among the flower trees blowing in the wind. The carved wooden doors and windows are half-open and half-covered, revealing a flickering candlelight.
A melodious sound of the piano floated from a short distance away, wrapped together with the fragrance of night flowers, permeating every corner of the courtyard, echoing with the chirping of insects among the grass roots close to the ground, making it soft and pleasant to listen to. The mind and body are drunk.
With Miss Wang's status as comrades who had gone through hardship together, Chen Chang and Shui Ling'er received a grand reception at the Prince Consort's residence.
Of course, the consort Wang Pin and the princess Xiao Miaoying have high status, so the important task of reception falls on the shoulders of the chief steward Wang Pan.
Although Wang Pan is the chief steward of the Wang family, he is only in his thirties, with a tall nose, wide eyes, and sharp cheeks as sharp as a knife.
Chen Chang was amazed when he saw it. The appearance of a housekeeper in the Prince Consort's house was enough to crush those popular celebrities in later generations.
When they were at Yangjiadu and Wubao, Chen Chang guessed that Wang Huan's identity was unusual, but he never thought that she was actually the emperor's niece. With Wang Huan's kind nature, it was most reassuring to place Shui Ling'er here.< /p>
Only when Shui Ling'er is settled can he calmly deal with the Lou family's affairs.
Wang Pan smiled and asked: "Chen Langjun, Miss Shui, are you satisfied with this place?"
The Prince Consort's mansion was so large that the wealthy people of later generations could not even imagine it.
After the Jiangling War, the current emperor Xiao Jin was enthroned as a great treasure, so he must repay the nobles who supported him, both public and private, and the residences of his sister and brother-in-law must also be arranged.
Chen Chang only felt that the house was upright and elegant, with pavilions, pavilions and garden pavilions hidden among green pines and bamboos, and it had a reclusive style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
The small courtyard where they live has triple circular arches, which makes the courtyard appear even deeper.
Standing in front of the hollow-carved crescent window, when you open it, you will see the crescent moon, and when you close it, you will see the full moon.
There is greenery outside the window. There are round, hexagonal, crabapple and gourd-shaped fans in front of the window, either lying or placed on the fan stand. The surface of the fan is as thin as a cicada's wing, with flowers, birds, and landscape embroidery on it. It is really beautiful.< /p>
When he arrived at the Prince Consort's Mansion, Chen Chang realized what a wealthy family was. Here, every ribbon, every bottle, every screen, every vegetable and every meal was inheriting culture and infiltrating the national style.
He couldn't help but admire it.
"Satisfied, satisfied, quite satisfied! I have the housekeeper of the King!"
Chen Chang nodded repeatedly. The injuries on his body had been specially diagnosed and treated by the doctor in the mansion. The medicine was also changed on the wound. He changed into a white robe and a Confucian scarf on his head. There was no need to apply powder on his face, and there was no need to apply red on his lips. It looks even more energetic and beautiful, with a romantic attitude.
Even after Chen Chang looked in the bronze mirror, he felt more and more that the original owner had indeed given birth to a good child.
Shui Ling'er had a sweet smile on her face, her eyes were as bright as cold crystals, and her fingers were as slender as spring bamboo shoots. She arranged his clothes very seriously, just like a virtuous wife who was about to send her husband off.
She also changed out of her original luxurious clothes and wore a long emerald green skirt, a short jacket, a high bun, a jasper rocker inserted diagonally above her hair, and a pretty face that was rosy and delicate.
Standing together with Chen Chang, they look like a perfect couple.
"The young lady is out of town right now, but the princess and the master have given special instructions. If you need anything, just ask me!"
Chen Chang and Shui Ling'er's clothes were personally selected and delivered by Wang Pan.
He is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, but this sentence does not apply to the steward of the Prince Consort's Mansion. Wang Pan's attitude in front of Chen Chang is respectful and without any airs, which makes people feel like spring breeze.
Wang Pan chatted for a while and then left, leaving only Chen Chang and Shui Ling'er in the room.
Zhou Yihai returned to his home to recover from his injuries. Yan Xiu and Yan Qianshi's grandparents did not live in the mansion. At the request of Mr. Yan Xiu, Miss Wang settled them in a separate courtyard in the Prince Consort's Mansion.
p>
Ma Liang informed the Yan family's ancestors and grandchildren about Chen Chang and Shui Ling'er, and they would come to visit tomorrow.
Finally, there was no need to worry about personal safety in the Prince Consort's house. In addition, Ma Liang accompanied the two of them to drink some wine in the evening. After sending Wang Pan away, Chen Chang felt a little drunk when he returned to the room.
In fact, the alcohol content during this period was not high at all, but Chen Chang's current body has not fully recovered. In addition, his spirit has been in a state of tension in the past few days. After experiencing life and death, his body has long been exhausted. This time of drinking and fatigue
The idea came to me, and after I came back, I fell asleep and fell into a deep sleep.
Shui Ling'er carefully covered him with a quilt, moved a rattan pier, and sat in front of the couch, holding her fragrant cheeks and looking at the sleeping Chen Chang quietly.
Her face is as crystal clear as jade, and reflected in the red candlelight, she is extremely charming.
Chen Chang was indeed exhausted, and his snoring gradually started to sound. Naturally, he had no chance to see the beauty of the red candle beauty.
Even though she is very familiar with Chen Chang's face, Shui Ling'er feels like she never gets tired of it, and she just wants time to stay at this moment forever.
I don't know how long it took, Chen Chang woke up faintly, sat up, and saw Shui Ling'er crawling on the bed, fast asleep. In the candlelight, her beautiful cheeks, and her slightly messy hair, actually had a trace of odor.
The charming and timid beauty that has never been seen in her.
Although Chen Chang is used to seeing beautiful women, his eyes can't help but light up.
He stood up gently and covered Shui Ling'er with a robe. Unexpectedly, Shui Ling'er was awakened and looked at him with complicated eyes. She naturally raised her hands to brush her temples, stood up, and said a little embarrassedly:
"I haven't slept much these past few nights. I just took a nap and fell asleep."
The tone is gentle, cute and cute.
Chen Chang saw the charming side of Shui Ling'er. Seeing him looking at her intently, Shui Ling'er's pretty face turned slightly red and said: "It's still early, Lang Jun is injured, he deserves more rest!"
”
Chen Chang smiled softly at her and said, "I'm not sleepy anymore. I want to take a walk in the yard. I've left this couch for you."
After saying that, he couldn't help but carry Shui Ling'er onto the bed, cover him with the quilt carefully, and then strode out.

Shui Ling'er felt the lingering warmth of Chen Chang on the quilt and smelled the masculine scent of him slightly. Her cheeks were very hot. She looked at the crescent moon outside the window and became confused.
Chen Chang stood in the courtyard, one step at a time. It was late at night, and the servants and maids in the house had all fallen asleep. Although there were many people living in the back yard, it was very lonely.
He walked a few steps forward and strolled on the flower-shaded path with sparse flowers and trees, walking on the cobblestone road. He saw green grass on both sides, flowers blooming, a gentle breeze, swaying flowers and trees, and a delicate fragrance.
It spreads out and makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Chen Chang stood under a green bamboo, took a deep breath, and began to think about his thoughts.
In just a few days since he came to this time and space, he used the knowledge and experience of a later man to resolve several crises, but he also experienced life and death several times.
But what do we do next?
From Lou Shaokang's point of view, Miss Lou is naturally a difficult woman to get along with, and it is expected that she will never tolerate him continuing to associate with Shui Ling'er.
It is indeed difficult to determine what kind of attitude people will have toward Lou if he rashly goes to Lou's house.
What happened to the Lou family? This matter involves life and death, and is also related to his marriage to Miss Lou;
Also, since Miss Lou has arranged for her brother to catch him in adultery, what is going on with Chen Chan, his fiancé? All of this is really puzzling.
Entering Jiangling, after learning more about the situation of the Lou family, he also thought about running away from marriage. Although the Lou family has a great business, it has a really bad reputation. Being a son-in-law for such a family is risky.
After thinking about it, Chen Chang decided that he still wanted to keep the spirit of the contract, but he had to go to Lou's house on the last day of the deadline. During this period, he had to find a way to change the situation between himself and Shui Ling'er. With the knowledge he had, if
If you give him a chance, you can always ensure that Shui Ling'er will have enough food and clothing in the future.
While Chen Chang was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Shui Ling'er walking quietly.
Under the cover of the bamboo forest, the moonlight shone brightly and dimly, making her pretty face look even brighter. The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
"Ling'er, why are you here? I told you to sleep a little longer!"
Chen Chang's tone was full of concern, "Did you know that we have a saying called Sleeping Beauty? As the name suggests, beauty comes from sleeping. Going to bed early and getting up early can make a beautiful face look brighter and reduce the price of rouge.
”
Shui Ling'er stared at him for a while, then suddenly giggled, her smile as bright as an epiphyllum under the moon.
"Lang Jun has a lot of knowledge in his belly. "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" contains: The triple burner meridian is strong during the Hai period, and the triple burner opens the hundreds of meridians. At this time, you enter a sleep state, and the hundreds of meridians can recuperate and recuperate, which can prevent a person from serious illness in his life. I don't know Lang Jun.
Is this what we call beauty based on?"
Chen Chang smiled awkwardly. He only knew that sleeping can improve beauty, but he didn't know the scientific reason.
Shui Ling'er sighed quietly, and then said: "The husband's worries are my concubine's worries. Speaking of it, I have caused a lot of trouble to the husband. The princess, the consort and Miss Wang are all good people, and they can take Ling'er in.
It’s already a great kindness, but Ling’er can’t just eat and drink in the house for free. He will go out tomorrow to see if there is any work available...”
As a man, Chen Chang naturally does not want his woman to be seen in the public eye. In this era, the dominance of men over women is particularly obvious, and the social security environment is not good. A beautiful woman like Shui Ling'er is at great risk when walking outside.
He held Shui Ling'er's pair of soft hair and said: "How does this make you think that the men in your family are so incompetent? You haven't seen that I can make that rogue government servant surnamed Yu obedient. It will definitely be difficult to make a living."
Don’t defeat me!”
She gently leaned her head on Chen Chang's shoulder and said softly: "I naturally believe in your husband's talent and learning. However, I saw that your husband is so sophisticated in dealing with people, not to mention those who can only read to death."
I am afraid that even Liu Yingshun, a scholar who talks in vain, is not as good as you!"
A faint body fragrance penetrated Chen Chang's nose, and it made everyone feel comfortable. He said calmly: "Maybe this is talent. Your husband is never afraid of dealing with others!"
Shui Ling'er said angrily: "Lang Jun knows how to deceive others. If he doesn't have some experience in doing this kind of thing, I'm afraid he will tremble when he sees that domineering official. How can he still be so calm and calm? There must be something wrong with Lang Jun.
Tell me!"
