Outside the city gate, he took off his military uniform and armor, put on ordinary clothes again, and returned to Daxing City with red and swollen eyes. Although it was still early, Chen Yingliang, who was feeling depressed at this moment, was not interested in taking the opportunity to tour the streets and started trotting on his horse.

He ran straight back to Yiyangfang, where his new home was, and prepared to take a good rest and calm down his feeling of loss.

This simple wish seemed difficult to achieve. He trotted back to his door. The servant guarding the door quickly took the reins of Chen Yingliang's horse. When Chen Yingliang was about to walk up the steps, the servant suddenly pouted to the side and whispered.

: "Master, there is a girl who has been wandering in front of our house. She seems to be waiting for someone. Is she interested in buying someone you know?"

"Girl?" Chen Yingliang was slightly startled, and turned around curiously. He saw a girl in red standing guard beside his door, looking at him with a cold expression. Chen Yingliang showed no expression when he recognized the person.

He walked up the steps and walked directly into the door of his house without looking back, completely turning a blind eye to the girl in red.

Seeing that Chen Yingliang was so ruthless and unjust, the girl suddenly felt lost and gritted her teeth again. Yu Jian stalked after her and shouted at Chen Yingliang's back: "You, wait."

Chen Yingliang stopped, but did not look back. He just turned his back to his former fiancée and said, "What's the matter? I interceded for your father and brother that day and saved their lives. Isn't there still an even relationship between us? You still want to come and ask for it?"

Should I kowtow to you in person to apologize?"

"People's girls don't dare. Even if people's girls take the courage of a leopard, they don't dare to ask the court officials to kowtow to the people's girls to apologize." Chai Qian's tone was as cold as Chen Yingliang's, and she added: "People's girls have the guts to visit Mr. Chen today.

I want to completely put an end to the past and have nothing to do with the Marquis anymore."

After saying that, Chai Qian took out a small wooden box, stretched out her hand and handed it to Chen Yingliang, and said with a straight face: "Repay this to you, and return my things. We will be completely cut off from each other, and there will be no more relations."

"Oops." Although he didn't see anything Chai Qian took out with his back turned, Chen Ying still screamed in pain. He quickly turned around and opened the wooden box that Chai Qian handed over. When he took a look, he saw that

On top of the red silk in the box, there was indeed an exquisite gold hairpin inlaid with emeralds. Chen Yingliang couldn't help but scream, knowing that this must be the engagement token exchanged between the dead ghost Chen Yingliang and the Chai family.

As expected, Chai Qian said with a straight face: "You probably don't know the origin of this golden hairpin, so I won't say more. Now I return the golden hairpin to you, and please return my jade pendant to me. Between us,

There will be no connection anymore."

Chen Yingliang's face looked as ugly as possible. After a long while, he answered truthfully: "I'm sorry, I've sold that jade pendant and I can't return it to you."

"Sold by you?" Chai Qian's cold expression finally relaxed a little, and she still felt some indescribable joy in her heart, but her mouth was a little angry, "But I am an ancestral jade pendant, passed down from the Han Dynasty.

The double tiger head huangpei, you actually sold it?"

"I had no choice but to eat and buy horse chips for traveling expenses, so I had to sell it," Chen Yingliang explained with a dry smile.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Chai Qian said with a straight face: "That was the token of our engagement back then. If you don't return it, how will I get married in the future?"

"This..." Chen Yingliang was extremely troubled. After thinking about it for a while, Chen Yingliang nodded and said: "Well, I still remember where the jade pendant was sold. I will go to that jade shop to see if the jade pendant is

, I will redeem the jade pendant and return it to you."

Chai Qian was immediately disappointed, but she was still very tough and asked: "Where is it? How long will it take?"

"Not far away, there is a jade shop in the nearby city." Chen Yingliang pointed in the direction and said casually: "You can go back first and wait to see the situation tomorrow, or you can take advantage of the fact that I have some time now and come with me to redeem the jade pendant.

.”

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chen Yingliang felt a little regretful, but Chai Qian followed the stick and immediately nodded and said: "Okay, you and I will redeem the jade pendant. The sooner we understand our affairs, the better."

Chen Yingliang was helpless when he met such a shameless former fiancée. He clearly saw that Chai Qian actually had no good intentions, but he couldn't find anything to say to refuse, so he had to go back to the room quickly, get some gold and copper coins, and take Chai Qian and the two with him.

Servants go to the capital

While redeeming the engagement token at the market, Chen Yingliang politely invited Chai Qian to come into the house for a while, but Chai Qian flatly refused, and even made some sarcastic remarks about people's daughters not daring to enter the Hou's house. Chen Yingliang felt helpless and vaguely a little bit.

I was so angry that I just let her go.

The metropolis is actually next to Yiyangfang. It didn't take long for Chen Yingliang and Chai Qian to find the jade shop where he sold the engagement jade pendant. They also successfully found the shop owner who bought the jade pendant. Then

Chen Yingliang immediately told the shop owner what happened.

, asked for an increase in price to redeem the jade pendant. The shopkeeper recalled it carefully for a moment, but said with an embarrassed expression: "Sir, I remember that the jade pendant you sold back then was indeed a double tiger head pendant from the Han Dynasty, but in fact

Unfortunately, the double tiger head pendant has been sold a long time ago."

"Sold? How come it was sold so quickly?" Chen Yingliang complained.

"It has been sold a long time ago." The shopkeeper replied with a wry smile: "I vaguely remember that after you sold the double tiger head huang pendant to the shop, a customer sold it away within a few days.

This is also thanks to you, Sir, your Han Dynasty jade pendant is really good, and it has made me a small profit."

"If I had known earlier, I should have sent it to a pawn shop. It could be redeemed within three months at least." Chen Yingliang muttered quietly, and then asked quickly: "Shopkeeper, do you know the guest who bought the jade pendant?"

"I don't know him." The shopkeeper shook his head and replied: "It has been so long that I have even forgotten the appearance of the guest officer. I only remember that he seemed to be a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.

I don’t remember anything about it.”

Seeing Chen Yingliang's defeated and disappointed look, Chai Qian felt happy and secretly happy at the same time. After quietly following the dejected Chen Yingliang out of the jade shop, Chai Qian finally found an opportunity to make things difficult for Chen Yingliang.

He asked Chen Yingliang expressionlessly: "What should I do?"

"As long as I know what to do." Chen Yingliang smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Chai, let's do this. Otherwise, I'll give you another better jade pendant, or you won't give me back the gold hairpin.

Let's even it out

Chai Qian lost her expression even more, gritted her silver teeth slightly and said, "No, I'll return the gold hairpin to you. You can give me a divorce note and give me my freedom. Forget about the jade pendant."

"Okay..." Chen Yingliang was overjoyed and almost agreed, but when he saw the faint twinkle of tears in the corner of Chai Qian's eyes, Chen Yingliang felt a little soft-hearted and changed his words: "It doesn't have to be like this, we are not officially married, there is no need to write any divorce.

Let’s go to school? Besides, if I gave you a divorce letter, wouldn’t it be more harmful to you... and to your reputation?”

Chai Qian turned away her pretty face, and after a moment she said with a hint of sobs: "If you don't worry about it, the women of the country no longer care about fame. Anyway, in Daxing City now, as long as someone mentions Xuchang, who is famous all over the world,

Marquis Chen will definitely talk about the Chai family who dislike the poor and love the rich, and also talk about the women who look down on others. Women have long been indifferent to honors and other things."

Chen Yingliang was silent, unable to find anything to say to comfort Chai Qian who was innocently implicated. Fortunately, at this moment, a clerk suddenly came out of the jade shop, came to Chen Yingliang and Chai Qian, nodded and bowed and said: "Young Master

, Madam, I overheard what you and the shopkeeper said just now, I wonder if you must find the double tiger head pendant from the Han Dynasty? "

"What? Do you know the whereabouts of that jade pendant?" Chen Yingliang asked happily.

"I'm lucky, I really know." The clerk replied with a smile: "I was in the store when the guest officer bought the jade pendant, and I saw his appearance. Although I don't know his identity, I still know his name.

But on the same day when delivering goods to other guest officials, I happened to see him entering the gate of a mansion. It looks like he should live there. If the young master wants to find him, I can guide the young master."

"Okay, then please guide me quickly." Chen Yingliang said happily.

"It's no problem to lead the way, but I'm busy with my work, and I'm afraid the shopkeeper won't agree..." The waiter refused to move, and smiled even more meanly.

Chen Yingliang smiled, and immediately asked the servant to take out a lot of money, and threw it to the waiter like a nouveau riche, and said with a smile: "Can your shopkeeper agree now? If the place is good, there will be a reward for the money."

"Thank you for the reward, young master. I'm not afraid that the shopkeeper won't agree to it now." The waiter happily took the copper coins and suggested: "Sir, the place is a bit far away. It's in Longzhengfang. If the master and his wife don't want to walk, it's best to hire someone.

A carriage, and the little man will guide you."

In order to get rid of Chai Qian's entanglement as soon as possible, completely cut off the relationship with her and free up her hands to pursue Yang Yu'er, contemporary Chen Shimei and Chen Yingliang of course ordered the servant to hire a car immediately, but Chai Qian wanted to kick the troublesome boy to death, and then became angry

After getting on the carriage, Chai Qian naturally thought of

The ambiguous scene in which she and Chen Yingliang were traveling together in the car made her feel ashamed, but also a little sweet. Unfortunately, Chen Yingliang sat out of the car without realizing it. Chai Qian was inevitably disappointed and couldn't help but face it.

Chen Yingliang cursed in a low voice from behind, "He has a bad heart and a dog's lungs."

Led by the jade shop clerk, Chen Yingliang and Chai Qian went all the way to Longzhengfang, a crowded temple. Then they were led by the shop clerk to the door of an elegant and quiet house. Then the clerk pointed at the door and smiled at Chen Yingliang.

road:"

Young Master, this is it. I saw that the guest officer entered this house. At that time, the guest officer got off the car directly in front of the door, and then the carriage entered the mansion through the side door. So the villain speculated that the guest officer

The guests seem to be the owners here.”

"I hope so." Chen Yingliang nodded and stepped out of the carriage.

"I hope that's not the case." Chai Qian muttered in her heart and got out of the carriage angrily.

The door was open. The doorman in the concierge saw Chen Yingliang and Chai Qian dressed in luxurious clothes. Knowing that they were not ordinary people, he hurried to the door to greet him. He even took the initiative to ask Chen Yingliang who had just walked up the steps: "Sir, may I ask if you are here?"

Who are you looking for? Do you want me to report it to you?"

"Exactly." Chen Yingliang nodded and said politely: "I would like to inform your master that the prince's right deputy, Chen Yingliang, has something to visit. I beg you to take the time to see me. I have something to ask for."

"The prince's right inner deputy is leading Chen Yingliang?" The disciple was startled and exclaimed: "Sir, are you the famous young Chen Qingzhi? The chief hero of the annihilation of Yang Xuangan's rebellion is Chen Yingliang and deputy commander Chen Yingliang?"

"What? Have you heard of my name?" Chen Yingliang asked with a smile.

"Not only have I heard of you, Deputy Chen, but who in Daxing City doesn't know about it? Who doesn't know about it?" The disciple was extremely excited, and then he clapped his head and said, "Oh no, I have forgotten that Deputy Chen led you."

Let’s get down to business. Deputy Chen, please forgive me. Unfortunately, my master went to the imperial city on business and hasn’t come back yet.”

"It turns out that your master is also an official of the imperial court. When can he come back?" Chen Yingliang asked quickly.

"I don't know. I should have come back a long time ago, but I don't know why I haven't come back today." The man looked embarrassed and said quickly: "Vice Vice Leader Chen, how about this? My master's nephew happens to be at home, little man.

Go and ask him to come out to greet you and wait at home for a while. Then my master should be back.

"Very good, then it's time to work." Chen Yingliang nodded. The man was overjoyed and hurriedly ran home to report the news. It was at this time that Chen Yingliang suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask for the name and official position of the owner of this place. Okay.

As the matter was not serious, Chen Yingliang didn't pay much attention to it. Chai Qian stood beside Chen Yingliang with a straight face, saying nothing, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

After a while, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy suddenly ran over from the yard and shouted with ecstatic surprise from a distance: "Mr. Chen, am I not dreaming? It's really you,

I didn’t expect you to come to my uncle’s house. I almost thought I heard wrong just now.”

"Why is it you?" Chen Yingliang was a little dumbfounded, because this young man was none other than the elder brother of the young brother and sister who appeared next to the Li brothers on the day Wei Xuan returned to Beijing in triumph.

"It's me. I didn't expect Vice Chairman Chen to still remember me. I'm so honored." The young man nodded vigorously and answered excitedly. Then he couldn't wait to raise his hands and salute, and said loudly: "My eldest brother, Sun Wuji, has met the Great Sui Dynasty."

The famous general Chen Lieutenant, Lieutenant Lieutenant, is well."

"The eldest grandson..., Wuji?" Chen Yingliang returned the gift in a slightly dazed manner. Fortunately, he had already passed the test of the two Li brothers before, so Chen Yingliang didn't scream as much as he did when he saw Li Jiancheng. But soon, Chen Yingliang was fierce again.
