Chapter 23

Outside the city gate, where there were an endless stream of pedestrians, a simple green wagon walked slowly among the crowd.

A handsome man in a round neck blue robe, up and down in the 18th century, riding a high horse, was walking by the carriage.

The handsome man looked at the front and suddenly frowned. The curtain of the carriage was always raised. A woman in her late 40s saw him frown and said, "Erlang, what's the matter with you?"

"Mother and big brother are in front!" Chu Congke snorted.

Aunt Fei stretched her head out of the window and saw two carriages driving not far ahead. In front of the carriage was a young man in his twenties, Chu Feiyang, the eldest son of the Chu family.

These two people are the masters of the Chu family in Dingguo Bofu.

Yesterday was a good day, and the nephew of the Qin family, the mother of the Chu family, also got married yesterday.

Qin took his children and daughter-in-law back to his mother's home in Changzhou for wedding wine. The capital is two hours away from Changzhou, so Qin and others stayed in Changzhou for one night. After breakfast today, they set off for Beijing and didn't arrive until now.

Yesterday was also a good day to worship the Buddha. Aunt Fei and aunt Bai went to Qiyun temple in the suburbs of Beijing for incense. Aunt Bai wanted to stay in the temple for a few more days, but aunt Fei couldn't stand it. She stayed in the temple for one night and returned after fasting.

I don't want two people to meet outside the city gate!

Aunt Fei skimmed her lips and didn't care about the mistress and her party in front. Of course, the people in front didn't pay attention to them.

Aunt Fei said, "in half a year, Ying'er will get rid of her clothes. It's time to prepare for your marriage."

Chu Congke smiled, but the next moment, the look on his face changed, and he said, "after I get married, the third brother should be ready."

The Chu family had only three sons and two daughters.

The Chu family was also a prosperous aristocratic family in those days, but Uncle Chu's brothers all died in that battle. Uncle Chu was the only one left, attached to the nearby branches of the Chu family. Seeing that the general situation of the Chu family was gone, they left one after another.

The sons of the Chu family are Chu Feiyang, the eldest son of the Chu family, Chu Congke, the second son of the Shu family, and Chu yunpan, the third son of the Shu family.

Chu Feiyang has married, and Chu Congke and Chu yunpan are engaged early.

Speaking of his marriage, Chu Congke was very unhappy. Because he ordered Xue Yinger, the concubine of the concubine of the Ministry of household, while Chu yunpan ordered ye Licai, the concubine of the Marquis of Jing'an. In terms of starting potential and origin, ye Licai is much better than Xue Yinger.

"I don't know what kind of wind the old Ye family used to smoke!" Chu Congke has always been a narrow-minded man. I don't know how many times he has muttered, "because of the defeat, our uncle's house was trampled down, and the Ye family ran into each other and hurried to get married with our family."

Ye lichai and Chu yunpan were engaged in the third year of the fall of Bo's house.

When the Chu family fell to Yingcheng, they were defeated at Yuan pass. Not only was his reputation discredited, but before his death, old Master Chu sold 80% of his family's property and paid compensation to the soldiers killed in the war, so the uncle's house was completely defeated.

As the saying goes, the wall fell, the people pushed, the tree fell, and the monkeys scattered. In those days, the Chu family was in a depressed and difficult situation.

Even a princess engaged to Chu Feiyang fled, found a reason and withdrew from the marriage.

At this time, the Marquis of Jing'an bumped into it!

Old Ye family is ye Hewen's father, ye Tangcai's great grandfather.

Mr. Ye is also a strange man. He has never had much contact with the Chu family, but everyone can't avoid the decline of the Chu family. However, Mr. Ye said that he has always admired the Chu family. Lang is a hero. No matter what the present situation is, at least the ancestors of the Chu family are good. He shouldn't have achieved this achievement.

But he had little ability and couldn't help. He didn't know how to turn his mind. He wanted to make a marriage with the Chu family.

And uncle Chu was also moved to send carbon in the snow of the Marquis of Jing'an.

Originally, Mr. Ye wanted to order ye Tangcai to the legitimate son of the Chu family, but at that time, ye Tangcai was ordered by the Wen family, so he had to go back and order ye Licai.

But ye lichai was the daughter of a commoner's house. For fear of humiliating the legitimate son of the Chu family, old ye had to pick it down. Chu Congke and Chu yunpan are similar in age. If they want to order, they are naturally Chu Congke, who is a brother, but they don't agree, so they have to order Chu yunpan.

"Is it really his good fortune?" Chu Congke snorted.

"What a good life!" Aunt Fei sneered and said, "you don't know. Last month, I heard that sun was secretly asking someone to find another marriage for ye Licai!"

"True or false?" Chu Congke is happy.

"What am I deceiving you for!" Aunt Fei sighed, "when the two families were engaged, I don't know how many times the sun family made trouble! As a result, I can't knead the old things on it! But now, the old man returned to the West three years ago. Without his pressure, there was a period of filial piety. Naturally, the sun family wanted to find another way out for Ye Li. "

Chu Congke raised his eyebrows and looked amused.

"Now Lord Ye is no better than Lord Xian. He is the most fickle and unjust. Your father has such a temperament. It's not easy to withdraw from his marriage. Wait and see. After you get married, sun will be anxious and will come to the door to withdraw. " Aunt Fei's tone was thin and cool. "When we were engaged, we Chu family still had Yu Wei. Now..."

Although I don't want to admit it, the Chu family is really down-to-earth now. It just responds to the three words "broken settlement" in other populations.

"Although his aunt is dead, she can't be erased. She came out of the GouLan hall. Look what he can marry! Why should you be angry with him? " Aunt Fei shook her handkerchief and pointed to Chu Congke.

"Who is angry with him." Chu Congke was in a good mood and smiled.

Chu Congke loved to compete with his brothers since he was a child.

Chu Congke competed with his first brother because he felt that he was no worse than his brother and that he could be a son of the world. One day he will pull his first brother off his horse. Even the aristocratic son of the poor family is also the aristocratic son! And the most valuable title in this family is only this title!

Chu Congke competed with his common brother because he was the most handsome of his brothers. Although his common brother was not promising in all aspects, he had a better marriage than him.

Now, hehe, he is happy to think that Chu yunpan has been demobilized and can't find a marriage.

The mother and son were talking. Unconsciously, the carriage had come to Changsheng street where Dingguo Bo's house was located.

Chu Feiyang and his party had turned a corner and headed for the east corner gate.

Chu Congke was tired after riding his horse for a long time. He yawned and pinched his horse's belly. The horse led the carriage to speed up.

The two men entered the door one after another and finally stopped outside the hanging flower door. The servants and maidservants went down to the table and beat the curtain.

Chu Congke got off his horse and walked to a handsome man of about twenty-five or six years old, with good looks and sharp facial features. This person is Chu Feiyang, the eldest son of Dingguo Bofu.

"Big brother." Chu Congke came forward to say hello with a fake smile on his face.

Chu Feiyang was cold with a handsome face and only nodded. His cold face does not mean that he is angry, because he has always been a face paralysis and rarely has an expression.

The women in the carriage also got off the train one after another.

Jiang Xinxue, the mother of the Chu family and the wife of Chu Feiyang, is Chu Miaoshu, the second daughter of the Chu family, and Chu Miaoshu, the common woman. The party came back from Changzhou.

Aunt Fei came this way with her handkerchief.

"Madam! You're back! " At this time, a servant girl in grey rushed over. She was the servant girl in Qin's house, named Lvzhi. Green branch's face was very bad: "Third Master... Got married yesterday!"
