Chapter 43 How tender

"What did you say to Qinglin today?"

Tian Jiang was stunned and remembered what he asked. Judging from the expression of Chen Erye, he still had no expression of joy and anger.

Then he honestly said, "After you warned him, my sister-in-law was sad, and my mother said a few more words. I couldn't bear it and comforted Qinglin to study hard. If he could become the most virtuous and clean, he would no longer be controlled by external forces and be free from body and mind."

Chen Zetang put his jaw on her shoulder, bit a wisp of fragrant hair, his voice was different from the softest before, and he said in a deep voice: "Qinglin is stupid. Even if he can endure hardships, he will find it difficult to achieve success in his career. The other children are still young, and occasionally torture knowledge, and they cannot support the Shen family. I am not young anymore, and I will eventually become old in more than ten years, and I will be powerless......"

Tian Jiang felt sad when he heard this. Madam Wu mentioned that only the orphan and widowed mother were left in the big house; the third house master was a long-distance official, and his reputation was misty; the fifth house master ran a tea shop, and he was half dead. The food, clothing and expenses of hundreds of people in the Shen Mansion were all responsible for supporting his living under the salary of the second master. Don’t look at the glory of his current high position and his authority was lost. Once the court lost its power and his official power fell, the Shen Mansion might be in line with the saying "the tree fell and the money was scattered", and it was a desolate and broken situation.

Understanding the important task of family and country that Mr. Chen has to bear, Tian Jiang couldn't help but shake his hand, and his voice whispered: "More than ten years later, the second master is in the year of Dayan and is still young, so he is not allowed to say these disheartening words."

Chen Zetang nodded, and saw Tian Jiang's eyes rippling, making her cry was not her original intention. She smiled and kissed her pink earlobes, and said, "It is necessary to help Jiuer solve the difficulties of me and the Shen family."

"The second master said how to help him?" Tian Jiang asked seriously, it wouldn't be...I just like her who married her with Shili Hongzhuang.

Chen Zetang said seriously: "You have so many children to give birth to me, and the dragon and phoenix in your personal life are the welfare of me and the Shen clan."

"......" Tian Jiang glared at him embarrassedly, and the solemn atmosphere was instantly dispersed.

Chen Zetang held back his smile and leaned closer to kiss her blushing cheeks.

The bright moon shines on the window screen, the figure is dazed, and a green parrot flapped his wings and stood on the red cage, feeling the loneliness of being hungry for the first time.

Suddenly, the curtain in front of the door was lifted up and then swayed, as if a maid was about to enter but not enter.

Tian Jiang began to struggle and wanted to get up, but was pressed by Master Chen and frowned slightly: "Why should I hide?" He also wanted to hold her hand before.

"I can't help being intimate in front of people." Tian Jiang bit his lips and said, not listening to his reply. He looked a little strange at the look... Is this strange?

Chen Zetang paused: "Okay!" He said, and his hands also released.

In fact, couples in high-ranking families in Beijing would have sex and would have one or two maids to serve them.

He was not used to marrying Mengsheng, and he didn't understand why she always let Yingge guard the tent. After a while, he was in a clear mind. In addition, he was plagued by official business, so he gradually took it very indifferently.

Cuimei came in and said, "The commander Chen from the front yard came to find the second master and reported to him important things."

Chen Zetang touched Tian Jiang's face before leaving, so she could sleep first without waiting for him to come back.

Tian Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and read the Book of Songs again. Then he let the maid take care of her washing and going to bed. Cui Mei moved the lamp under the curtain and left with her hands and feet.

The incense was not burned in the copper stove, just because the cinnamon outside the window was filled with the room and the surroundings were very quiet. She hugged her mattress and thought for a while, but finally she couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep when she closed her eyes.

....................................................

In the roll shed outside the study, Qin Xing and Tian Rong were waiting for Mr. Chen while having tea, and Xu Jing was accompanying him. The three of them were talking nonsense.

Since Chen Ge Lao returned to Beijing by inspecting Liangjiang, they came to Chen Mansion every now and then to inquire about the whereabouts of their master. They always returned in vain. In despair, this man named Xujing found them and said that Chen Ge Lao wanted to marry a wife and set up a wedding banquet. He hoped that they would take over the "Chef Office". Not only did the wages given were good, but they could meet Chen Ge Lao after the wedding banquet.

In order to find out whereabouts of his master, Qin Xing agreed without thinking too much. The dishes cooked at the wedding banquet were very suitable for everyone. After the end, he took on the banquet from several officials. The business of the "Shengchang Pavilion" was promising in the future.

But he and Uncle Tian had a heavy thought. Master Chen’s special care must be related to the safety of his master.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt frightened. Looking at the dark night outside the window, I felt even more uncomfortable.

I heard the sound of the officials' shoes all the way, and soon I saw Mr. Chen wearing a stone green ball of flowers, cocoons and silk, and he came with Shen Huan quickly.

Qin Xingtian Rong stood up and bowed to him. Chen Zetang looked slightly and Xu Jing guided them and followed them into the study.

Chen Zetang sat down and looked at Qin Xing while having tea. It turned out that it was Shun Yu who followed him. At this time, he was dressed up and had a bit of a young shopkeeper's demeanor. Looking at Tian Rong, he had a wide arm and strong shoulders, and he could see that his martial arts were hidden.

He paused the teacup on the table and asked in a gentle tone: "Do you want to ask about Feng Shunyu's whereabouts?"

Qin Xing stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "My master followed Mr. Chen and his brother in two rivers to do things. You have been back to Beijing for several months, but my master has no news yet. Please inform Mr. Chen, where is he now?"

"How could it be so unreasonable!" Chen Huan shouted harshly.

Chen Zetang waved his hand, his expression still calm. He said, "This inspection in Liangjiang has been robbed and killed by the 'Eagle Heaven Alliance' many times on the way. Your master fell into his hands. The Ministry of Justice is trying his best to search. You can wait patiently."

Qin Tian and the other two were shocked. The "Shengchang Pavilion" was a place where the wine shops were mobile. The news was very well-informed after dinner. Naturally, they had a deep hearing about the "Eagle Heaven Alliance". They knew that the desperate people were violent and arrogant, and that if they fell into their hands, they would be dead.

Qin Xing's legs were weak and could not stand. He suddenly became angry from his heart. He didn't care about the etiquette of superiority and inferiority, and shouted hoarsely: "My master is peaceful by nature. Have you ever made enemies with anyone? He must have become your scapegoat for Ge Lao Chen. You can pay his life."

Tian Rong was full of resentment. Although he didn't say a word, he held the copper handle of the short knife on his waist tightly. Suddenly, the wind sounded cold in his ears. The three or four agile secret guards came out from nowhere, blocking the table, staring at their every move, and their expressions were solemn.

Chen Zetang smiled slightly: "I am loyal... I'm not sure about it. Your master is living a good life, but it's not convenient for you to show up for the time being. There will always be a time when you reunite, but it's not now. Tian Rong, you should understand."

Tian Rong was shocked all over and looked up at Ge Lao Chen, just as he met the sight he had cast. He felt that his gaze was very sharp, and he could see through the hidden secrets hidden in his heart.

Qin Xing was confused when he heard this and looked at Tian Rong in confusion. Tian Rong let go of the finger bones that held the knife tightly, bowed and said, his voice seemed cold and cold: "Geor Chen is serious about this?"

Chen Zetang smiled faintly and said nothing.

Chen Huan shouted: "Old Chen Ge never lies. Just wait for you to come back and see what you will know within half a year."

After seeing Qin Xing and Tian Rong away, Chen Huan saw Mr. Chen leaving anxiously. He looked at the moonlight and scratched his head and asked Xu Jing: "It's still early, why are you anxious about me?"
