Not long after, the little girls brought the lunch back. Cuiya and Chunyan arranged a table and Chen Yunchu changed into more relaxed and casual home clothes. Looking at the dazzling array of tables, his mood also followed. It got better and kept picking up food for Xiao Jiu.
"Although this mushroom is not as delicious as the one we picked when we were young, it is quite fresh. You can try it quickly."
"The bamboo shoots were transported from the mountains early this morning. I always feel that they are not as delicious as Yunzhou, and they can satisfy their cravings. You can try them quickly."
"This wild pheasant is a bit fatter and not as good as the wild pheasant running around Yunzhou Mountain, but it can barely be eaten. I'll serve you a bowl."
"Achu, since you are so worried about Yunzhou, why don't you want to go back with me?" Xiao Jiu pinched the spoon and stared at her for a moment without a moment, with a smile on his lips, "Achu, are you homesick? ”
This family is not that family. The home they mentioned naturally refers to the Yunzhou Protectorate of Yunzhou, which is where their childhood sweethearts grew up, and there are too many beautiful memories there.
Chen Yunchu looked gloomy, but shook his head and served himself a bowl of chicken soup. "But today, when King Linjiang mentioned the Le clan, why do you look very nervous? But what secrets do you want me to know?"
Xiao Jiu was silent and raised his head for a while, with a warm smile on his eyebrows and eyes, "Achu, how could I hide things from you? You are smart and transparent. I have always been transparent in front of you."
"No!" Chen Yunchu put down the porcelain spoon in his hand and made a crisp sound, "In the past, you had something to hide from me. If I didn't ask, it doesn't mean I didn't know you were hiding it from me. I just don't want to expose you, you have it now. I hide more things from me, such as your parents, your life experience, why did you fall into the mountains? I didn't ask before, but I was just afraid of mentioning your sad things, so I kept silent, but now it's all inexplicable. Prince of Linjiang, don’t you plan to tell me in detail?”
"Achu--" Xiao Jiu wanted to speak but stopped. After a while, he finally picked up a piece of chicken leg meat for her, "I will tell you after you finish the meal."
"You say now!" Chen Yunchu felt that Xiao Jiu's life experience was closely related to him. Just because Uncle Cheng inexplicably brought Xiao Jiu home, he was extremely excited when King Linjiang first met her. But with hesitant eyes, she concluded that Xiao Jiu and her should have a close relationship.
"Then tell me first whether you fall in love with Xun Yang?" Xiao Jiu threw the bowls and chopsticks in his hand on the table. His cool eyes were serious, and slowly he was filled with sadness, "Achu, I'm today Seeing you and him intimately, my heart was so sad. If you really want to know my life experience and know my relationship with you, the premise is that you tell me, have you ever been moved by Xun Yang? Otherwise, how can you teach me how to be !”
"What does it mean?" Chen Yunchu suddenly had an ominous premonition, feeling that his concern for Xiao Jiu's life experience would completely change her relationship with Xiao Jiu. Her eyes dodged a little and she forced a smile: "But you are me." Brother, what does your life experience have to do with who I like?”
Xiao Jiu took out the jade pendant from his arms, "Achu, have you never been curious about why we have the same jade pendant on us?"
Chen Yunchu's heart tightened and had a bad premonition, but she suddenly remembered the jade pendant that Wei Zhuang saw for her, which was exactly the same. There may be something strange about two identical jade pendants in the world, if it were three. , probably by chance, she smiled relievedly, "Don't tell me, we are engaged."
"Don't you believe it?" Xiao Jiu pinched his jade pendant and reached out to untie the jade pendant between Chen Yunchu's neck, and placed two identical jade pendants in front of her. His voice suppressed the strong fluctuations, "Have you ever seen the world before? Is there such a similar jade pendant?"
"There is one in Weizhuang!" Chen Yunchu put the two jade pendants together, which was as good as the one in Weizhuang. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pinch his face, "Ajiu, you take this joke seriously Nothing funny is not funny."
Xiao Jiu froze for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Achu, what are you escaping? Or are you actually falling in love with Xun Yang? You and him will never have an end. He is our husband, one day for The teacher will be your father all his life, and there are twelve years between you. Achu, he is almost able to be your father at his age."
Chen Yunchu's hand holding the jade pendant was trembling. When she was hugged by Xun Yang in the Xiang Palace today, she realized her feelings and made up her mind. How could she easily hit Xiao Jiu's words? She argued: "I have never performed the ceremony of apprenticeship. We are not considered masters and apprentices. He is just twelve years older than me. Who among the gentry men in the capital does not have a family that is dozens of years younger than me. Is it possible that all beautiful concubines are inappropriate?"
"You also say that you are a beautiful concubine. The concubine is just a toy taken home. Naturally, the younger you are, the better you look. But your wife is of the same age. Have you ever seen an eighty-year-old girl marry a young girl as your wife?" Xiao Jiu quietly held her trembling hand, "A Chu, you recognize the reality, you are not compatible with him. If your Yan Niang is as charming as the country, there will be the queen mother, the queen and even the entire Wei family for her. Support her, she is very famous in the hearts of the people, and the people will not speak out, but Achu, you can't do it. If you marry Xun Yang, you will not be safe in the rest of your life."
"You're talking nonsense!" Chen Yunchu shook his hand away, "He said that he would overcome all obstacles to seek wealth and comfort for me, and he said he wanted to protect me."
Xiao Jiu was angry and pointed to the shocking burns between her neck and asked, "Then how he protected you? Is he protecting you like this? Why did you be bullied by Er Yu and Xun Jie? Don't stand up to protect you? Why didn't Xun Jie stand up to protect you when he hurts you today? He doesn't even dare to offend Princess Eryu. Will the empress and the queen mother be instigated by your so-called mother in the future when he will be instigated by your so-called mother to deal with you? Can you protect you? Achu, don’t be stupid!"
"The remaining poison on his body is not clear, how can he use his skills to hit people casually!" Chen Yunchu spoke subconsciously for Xun Yang. Although she was really annoyed him when she was in the carriage, it was not that he did not protect her, but that she was annoyed in broad daylight. She stopped her carriage at the door of the Xiangwang Mansion and tried to touch her in front of Xiao Jiu. She was embarrassed, so she deliberately turned cold.
"Besides, Princess Eryu is so illegitimate. He beat the royal princess before the two princesses and the King of Linjiang. If the matter spreads, I will be implicated! I am the troubled beauty that the people pointed at. How could he have been? Put me to this point? Even if Princess Eryu is not a princess, she is just a little girl who has not yet reached the age of her hair. Xun Yang is about to be thirty years old. How can he have the same knowledge as a little girl, and how can he beat a woman casually! ”
Xiao Jiu choked and stared at his beautiful eyes, "What do you mean is that if I hit the little girl, I am not a man? Ah Chu, I just can't stand you bullied by others. I don't allow you to say that to me!"
"I didn't mean that!" Chen Yunchu saw Xiao Jiu's appearance of being fire-breathing, and suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, "Ajiu, you are just a child, you are about the same age as Eryu, even if you hit her, It’s just a child who has a conflict, but Xun Yang is different from you. If he beat Princess Eryu today, he will be in an uproar tomorrow!"
"I am not a child! To be honest, you are just biased with him!" Xiao Jiu pinched the jade pendant in his hand fiercely, his joints turned pale, but his face smiled leisurely, "Achu, if you marry him, you want to How will people who live in the world view you and him? He is a saint, and the people respect him, so naturally they will not criticize him. Your situation is different. You are the daughter of the general's house, and you were resigned by the King of Jin. It is him again Half of the disciples I have admitted can kill people, and rumors can be said to be a killer. A Chu, you must have thought about the most powerful one, right?"
"I like him, he likes me. We want to get married, what's the matter for the people of the world?" Chen Yunchu had thought about the possibility that Xiao Jiu had long ago, and this was one of the reasons why she was reluctant to respond to Xun Yang. At this time, since she had already found herself moved, how could she retreat because of these external resistance?
"I like him, he likes me!"
"I like him, he likes me!"
"I like him, he likes me!"
...
Chen Yunchu's words echoed in Xiao Jiu's mind for a long time. After a long time, he understood what she meant. His breathing suddenly stopped, his heart was so painful that he asked with a white face: "What about me?" ?Achu, I have been with you for five years, can’t compare to you and him for just a few dozen days?"
"You are my brother!" Chen Yunchu blurted out. She looked at Xiao Jiu's suddenly turned pale face, hesitated, but still hardened her heart, "Ajiu, you are younger than me, you are my brother, I It's your sister! When you see me being with Xun Yang, you feel uncomfortable just because you are not used to it. You won't feel sad after seeing it too much. Just like the pair of pigeons that Xun Yang gave me, they were your Haidong After eating Qing, you compensated me for two little Haidongqing as pets. At first, I thought Haidongqing was not as good as pigeons, but after raising it for a long time, I thought Haidongqing was also very good, so it wouldn't be uncomfortable."
"You don't know anything at all!" Xiao Jiu was very angry and pinched her little hand with his big hand, "This is not a pet, Ah Chu! I like you, it was because I knew I had a engagement with you that I started to do so when I knew I had a marriage contract with you. I like you, Achu, you can't treat me like this!"
"My father never said that I had a marriage contract, otherwise how could I let me marry Xiao Ming?" Chen Yunchu was particularly sure. After she was reborn, although some things changed, such as she failed to marry King Jin, He had a secret relationship with Xun Yang, but many things did not change. He still picked up the valuable piece of jade in the peach forest of Bodhi Mountain, and could buy hundreds of acres of fertile land. So how could Xiao Jiu have an engagement with her?
