Chapter 020: So Longitudinal
——
Chen Wu's aunt, namely the wife of Dingguo Duke Shen Bozheng, came to see her daughter. Seeing that her daughter was surrounded by a group of little girls, she looked like stars hunching against the moon, she smiled with satisfaction. I remembered that she happened to meet Rong Chen on the road before, and the child was born with a handsome talent and was humble and decent, which made Jiang unable to help but have some thoughts.
Although the noble circle of Xuanping Hou’s Mansion in Yancheng is nothing, the son he taught is so outstanding. She raised her daughter so well, but she didn’t want her to marry a prince to avoid having to work hard for the rest of her life.
When Chen Miao saw Jiang, she hurriedly called out "Mother" with a smile.
Today, Jiang was dressed gracefully and dignifiedly, holding a mistress style, and indeed having the style of a wealthy family. Chen Wu was still immersed in Princess Yuxuan's words. When she saw Jiang, she put down the milk and powder cake in her hand, sorted out the hem of the skirt and walked over.
Jiang was in a good mood, so he naturally smiled and seemed much more friendly than usual.
In fact, Chen Miao's appearance followed Jiang's mother. Chen Wu thought that Chen Miaoqing was born with her and would probably be more dignified and dignified than her aunt when she got married and had children in the future. However, her aunt worked hard on everything and was in charge of such a huge Duke's Mansion in Dingguo. She looked much older than her mother, but in fact, her aunt was only three years older than her mother.
Jiang turned his head and looked at Chen Wu.
Seeing Chen Wu dressed up cleanly today, wearing a loose, wide-sleeved skirt with green branches and branches, she said that this little girl was quite sensible. Today, her daughter did not deliberately steal the limelight from her daughter's birthday, but she was so beautiful that no matter what she wore, she could not take the eyes off her. She looked at Chen Wei again, but a hint of dissatisfaction suddenly arose in her heart. Chen Wei, who imitated her daughter in everything, was a dog-like person, but who made her daughter feel polite to this concubine.
After Jiang left, the table almost dispersed. Chen Wu personally sent Princess Yuxuan out of the mansion. Seeing that Chen Wu's expression was a little wrong today, Princess Yuxuan asked her to rest well.
Chen Wu turned around and happened to see Rong Chen and Rong Ying come out.
Chen Wu was stunned for a moment, and did not deliberately avoid it. She just greeted Rong Chen and Rong Ying and said, "Cousin Rong, Sister Ying." Then she said goodbye politely.
Rong Chen felt more and more worried. He didn't know why Chen Wu suddenly felt like this, but he knew that this little cousin was a smart person, perhaps because he noticed his own feelings.
But if this is true, he will be even more upset.

In the evening, Jiang served his husband to the bed, and then began to think of his daughter's marriage and mentioned Rong Chen.
But Shen Bozheng was not willing to marry such an excellent daughter to Rong Chen, but said unhappily: "I have my own plans for my daughter's marriage. But Chen Qian and Shen Wu are a little troublesome..." At first he thought that King Qi was interested in Chen Qian, otherwise he would not have asked him to go to the third room to see Chen Qian that day. But after that, Princess Mingyue's birthday, Concubine Wan expressed her affection for his daughter. At that time, he was worried that Concubine Wan would fall in love with his daughter, but then he rewarded Chen Wu.
This made him a little confused.
Speaking of Chen Wu, Jiang couldn't help but praise: "The Han family is also considered a beautiful Yancheng. How could the daughter born in Yancheng be so beautiful?" Although she didn't like Han family very much, she didn't hate Chen Wu too much. After all, she had a good relationship with her daughter. She has been simple since childhood and has no bad intentions.
Shen Bozheng said, "It is not necessarily a good thing to be born too beautiful. If Chen Wu can be like her mother in the future, maybe she will live a comfortable life..." But as the head of the Duke of Dingguo Mansion, how could he not make plans for the whole mansion? If Chen Wu is born beautiful, if she can make good use of it, the effect here will be quite good.
Shen Bozheng thought, and had an idea in his mind.

I learned about Fu Zhan from Yuxuan, and Chen Wu didn't sleep well for the whole night.
Chen Wu has always been sleepy and has to sleep for four hours every night. But today I woke up for half an hour, and when I got up, my eyes were even more sleepy. I was covered in a dark look, so my complexion naturally looked a little bad.
Guyu applied a little powder on his girl to barely cover the green indian.
But Chen Wu's porcelain white is very conspicuous. As long as you walk closer, you will still be clear. "Did the girl sleep uncomfortable last night? Is it too boring in the house?" Gu Yu couldn't help asking.
Chen Wu shook her head, looking a little depressed.
She looked at her face and felt extremely upset, and she couldn't help but complain. But when she thought that he was seriously injured, she felt uncomfortable. Without saying anything else, Fu Zhan didn't really force her to do anything excessive. It's a pity that he was always frustrated, which made her feel that he was just teasing her. If she was confused, when he got tired of it, he would still be like another girl.
As a woman, she suffered the most, and she was even more careful in this matter and did not dare to provoke him.
Besides, Concubine Wan was obviously displeased when she looked at her, but instead she was a girl as gentle as Chen Miao. If Chen Wang had a higher status, she might have been able to catch up with Concubine Wan's eyes. Chen Wu thought, looking at herself with a deep brow in the mirror, she was stunned for a moment.
...What is she thinking?
Could it be that if Concubine Wan likes her, would she be willing to accept Fu Zhan?
Chen Wu felt that she was sleeping in a mess. Regardless of whether Fu Zhan was injured or not because of her purse, she was moved, but she was not moved to marry him. She wanted to marry an honest man who spoiled his wife like her mother, and she didn't need much effort.
Chen Wu shook her head and tried not to think about Fu Zhan.
In the next half month, Chen Wu never heard of news about Fu Zhan again.
Until this day, Chen Wu was invited to Princess Yuxuan's Yuming Villa to play. The three sisters of the Shen family also went together.
Since that time, Chen Wu and Chen Wei rarely talked. In addition, she often learned painting with her second uncle, and she spent less time in the mansion. The two of them met occasionally when they went to Cunshanju to pay their respects to their ancestors. However, Chen Wu heard the maid Xiaoman beside her say that Chen Wei actually won the favor of Mr. Meng You and Mr. Meng, and often went to Mr. Meng to learn painting during these days.
Although Meng Youchang is not as famous as Han Mingyuan, he is one of the best masters.
This Shen Wang is capable.
However, Chen Wu knew that since she learned painting with her second uncle, her reputation was not as unremarkable as before. I think Chen Wei was a little anxious, so she wanted to join Mr. Meng's disciple.
After coming to Yuming Villa, Chen Wu realized that these little girls were dressed very beautifully today. Although the girls were dressed up carefully when they got together, after all, there was a lot of comparison between girls of the same age, but today is a bit different. These are all dressed more beautifully than during the Chinese New Year.
The so-called people are more beautiful than Hua Jiao, but that's just the case.
Chen Wu called a look at Chen Miao, and Chen Miao smiled back, saying that she didn't know either.
Chen Wu looked at Princess Yuxuan wearing a lotus pink waisted skirt walking towards her, then blinked and said, "What day is it today?"
Princess Yuxuan didn't care and said happily: "I originally wanted to invite my sisters to gather together, but a few days ago, my brother just came back from Mobei and was restrained in the mansion. My brother wanted to lend my village to entertain friends. But don't worry, we are in this backyard, and my brother and the others will not come here."
Princess Yuxuan's brother is Huo Chengxiu, a famous military general in the Great Qi Dynasty. This time, General Huo pacified the Mobei and defeated the small countries that invaded the border. Not only did he make a covenant and never attacked him for the next hundred years, but he also paid a lot of treasures to the Great Qi Dynasty. Now General Huo made great contributions. Emperor Jiayuan was also very happy and rewarded many jewelry and silks from the Kang Palace.
General Huo is eighteen years old and has not yet married. Moreover, he has made such great achievements in military affairs. It is no wonder that these noble ladies in Yancheng have put down their usual reserves, so that they may have a good impression in front of General Huo.
Chen Wu has met Huo Chengxiu several times.
But that was something that happened many years ago. Now Huo Chengxiu has been following King Kang to fight on the battlefield, and it is difficult for even Yuxuan, the real sister, to meet, let alone her.
Therefore, Chen Wu's impression of Huo Chengxiu was still at the time when he climbed a tree to hold a kite for her when he was a child. At that time, Huo Chengxiu was just a young man, but he was half a head taller than Rong Chen, who was of the same age. He was even more powerful and skillful.
As he was speaking, someone called out "Princess Mingyue". Chen Wu bent her lips and turned around to look at Princess Mingyue, wearing a purple and silver pattern of crabapple and silver cicada gauze, with a tassels and tassels, and saw her round apple face with a smile, her apricot eyes were bright, and she had no princess' airs at all. Chen Wu was about to go over to say hello, but found that there was someone behind her.
Chen Wu's steps were fixed and she stared at Fu Zhan blankly.
After a few months, he seemed to have lost weight. He looked bad, and he didn't look like he was boring when he teased her at that time. But even so, today Fu Zhan wore a crescent white brocade robe and a jade belt tied around his waist, making him look straight and slender, and his orchid and jade trees were indescribably elegant and noble.
Chen Wu stood there hesitantly, not knowing whether she should go forward for a moment, but saw Fu Zhan just casually glance at them, and his eyes did not fall on her face.
Chen Wu lowered her eyes slightly, then bit her lower lip.
Princess Mingyue walked to Chen Miao with a smile and said to Chen Miao: "I delayed some things last time my birthday last time. Today I made a special gift. Do you like it or not?" As she said that, she took an exquisite small box from the hand of the maid behind her.
"Princess is so polite." Chen Miao accepted it with a smile.
Princess Mingyue turned to Fu Zhan and said, "Brother, go ahead, I'll come to find you later."
Fu Zhan nodded, his face looked faint, but he had no expression. He only gave a few words to Princess Mingyue, then turned around and left the yard.
Some cold sweat broke out in Chen Wu's palms, and she came back to her senses after a while.
He came to Zhuangzi just for Princess Mingyue, and it was just a coincidence to meet her. Moreover, he had never looked at her from beginning to end, so he probably didn't take her to heart for a long time.
Yes, she didn't go to see him when he was injured. She knew that he was for his purse, so she was indifferent. Fu Zhan was afraid that he had been annoyed her for a long time and didn't want to see her at all.hf();
