Chen Biyun chatted with the old lady after dinner because they talked about things from the past at home, and it was not convenient for outsiders to listen to. When they were just two, the old lady looked at Chen Biyun and smiled: "You child, The eyebrows and eyes have not changed much yet. You said that I wanted to marry you to An Zhongtao, but you refused to agree and had to go with that poor scholar. Now, what will he leave for you? Ah? Apart from a son, I'm afraid he will still be there. Are you debt?”
Chen Biyun's face was a little embarrassed: "The debt was gone, and the house and land were sold, but there was nothing left. Biyun disappointed her aunt..."
"Yes, you really made me angry at that time, but I couldn't figure it out. You won't come to the general's mansion... Yes, we won't talk about this anymore. Anyway, it's all the things in the past, how about it? Now I'm here The General's Mansion is not bad, the emperor's grace is heavy and the grace is constantly coming. Ranyue and Yanran will marry into the royal palace in a few years. At that time, the General's Mansion will be even more prosperous. It's a pity that I am so strong in my life, but I end up getting old. No, there is not even a caring person..."
Chen Biyun was very curious about why the old lady said that, but she didn't know how to interrupt for a while.
The old lady sighed and said to Chen Biyun again: "Fortunately, you are here, and I have hope..."
"My aunt's kindness to Biyun is more important than her parents, but Biyun cannot repay it now..."
"Silly child, who told you to repay me? What do I lack in my current family background? Isn't it just a caring person? You are staying in the general's mansion now, but it is not a long-term solution. Although they have said that you can Treat this place as home, but it is not really home, right? Now, I have an idea, which depends on what you mean..."
"Aunt said it was!"
"I said, you didn't agree to marry Zhongtao before, but now you have another chance. I wonder if you are willing to become a general and be my wife?" The old lady wanted to tell her about her plan in a few days. , but she couldn't wait.
She wants to take a concubine to An Zhongtao.
Chen Biyun felt very complicated when she heard this. One reason was that her husband had just died, and she had to keep her integrity for her husband. On the other hand, her husband was really sick in recent years and could not share much for her. She was so tired that her family was in ruins. Living in a very poor life, I have to think about spending a penny. Now that she enters the general's mansion, her temperament has made her feel inferior. Even the clothes worn by the servants are better than hers. How could she not be moved Moreover, my cousin hasn't seen her for so many years, and she has become more mature and has a little more charm than when she was young, so she feels a little active in her heart.
But this made her express her opinion, why did she have the nerve to say it directly, just shook her head: "Biyun has come to defect to her aunt, just let her be the master of everything..."
The old lady understood in her heart and smiled: "Okay, this is my good niece!"
The old lady had a wishful thinking and couldn't take Lian Jinyu down, so she could at least make her fall out of favor.
With Chen Biyun's good looks, she knew that An Zhongtao would not last long. Besides, Lian Jinrong lost her power, and there was no one in the general's mansion who could compete with Lian Jinyu.
How could she find a way?
It was snowing outside that day. When An Zhongtao returned home, it was quite early. After seeing Lian Jinyu, he went back to the study room. He had a watch to write. When he was halfway through, someone knocked on the door, but it was Chen Bi Yun, holding a tray in her hand, came in and placed it on the table: "Cousin, do you still remember the silk soup I made before?"
"Silk Soup?" An Zhongtao's eyes lit up, "I haven't eaten it for many years, but you have only been here for a few days. How can you cook? These things are made by servants, just give me instructions."
Chen Biyun was wearing a big red wool-inlaid Shu brocade today, and even made her face look as white as snow. She smiled and carried two dimples: "Cousin, this silk soup is for you to eat, and the servants make it, Even with the same ingredients, the taste of different people is different, right?”
"Thank you so hard!"
"It's not hard work, I'm free to eat and live at my cousin's house, so why are you talking about hard work?" Chen Biyun said as she pulled a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth.
Looking at her expression, An Zhongtao frowned: "What did you say? I have said it all. This is your family. You don't need to be so careless..."
Chen Biyun hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes, reached out to put the soup in a bowl, and delivered it to An Zhongtao: "Cousin, try it, this soup is delicious while it is hot..."
An Zhongtao took it and took a sip: "It still tastes the same as before..."
"Yes, this loofah is not easy to find in this season. I just searched all over the kitchen and found two. This water shield was dried from my home. I used dew and it was like fresh. Cousin, you He told the servants that they could be so careful and pick out all the broken edges and the broken ones..." Chen Biyun said with a smile.
An Zhongtao nodded softly after hearing this: "That's true, I'm just asking you. I can't drink much... Have you drunk?"
"I gave some to my aunt, and the rest are here..."
"Then you drink some too!" An Zhongtao said.
He still admired this cousin very much. She had a daughter's house and had a lot of ideas. She didn't hesitate to have a quarrel with her family back then and married Qin Shulin. It's a pity that he had a short life. Otherwise, it would be a good thing in the world that the husband and wife would follow him. .
So, he was quite polite to her.
What's more, she must have been a lot of restraint when she came to the General's Mansion. When Chen Biyun heard what he said, she was not polite. She served a bowl and drank it, and sighed: "When I was at home, there were such ingredients, but Shulin doesn’t like drinking too much, so I don’t make it. Sometimes I think about it, this hard work is second. Being able to appreciate what you make is also a kind of affirmation and satisfaction for those who cook... …”
The two of them were talking and laughing for a while, but the time for supper was up, but they still didn't know it.
Lian Jinyu sat there, seeing that An Zhongtao had not come yet, and asked Madam Hong whispered. The old lady sat on the table and said, "Why haven't Biyun come yet?"
"Go back to the old lady, Miss Chen is going to find the general..." a maid replied.
"What did she ask him for?" the old lady said in confusion, then remembered something and smiled, "This child, I understand. She is definitely in the general's study. She made a soup this afternoon and gave it to me. I came here, and that one must have been sent to the general. Zhongtao loved drinking the soup made by Biyun in his early years..."
The following words were said to Lian Jinyu.
Lian Jinyu smiled and said, "I really haven't heard Zhongtao mention this!"
"They had a good relationship before. When they were young, they always played together. Later, they got married and separated. Now they were probably reminiscing about the past..."
As he was talking, An Zhongtao and Shen Biyun walked in together, talking and laughing, but when they entered the hall, they saw so many people watching, they stopped.
