After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

Chapter 109: Decided?

Old Master Chen patted his golden belt and called to the servant in the distance, "Go, write a letter."

Have you thought about how to deal with Yingge? Chen Junhe clenched his fists.

Old Master Chen said, "Write Wu'er's engagement letter and go to the Liu family to propose marriage."

Chen Junhe: “???” What happened? Is there something wrong with his ears? What did he just hear?

Anyone in the Chen family who heard Old Master Chen say this would have the same reaction as Chen Junhe.

What's going on? Why did we end up talking about marriage?

Even though everyone had a lot of ideas in their minds, no one dared to refute or ask questions.

Old Master Chen patted the armrest and said lazily, "Wasn't this marriage decided a long time ago? Didn't Wu'er make a bet with Miss Liu when you were playing polo? Wasn't it decided at that time?"

The Chen family then remembered that it seemed to be true at the time, but it was just a joke and how could they take it seriously?

Old Master Chen said, "If I say it's true, it's true. You're not a child, and you still like to joke."

Old Master Chen has spoken, so this matter must not be false, but the marriage of children is for the good of Qin and Jin, but Yingge is currently only the son-in-law of the Liu family, how dare he marry into the Chen family? He is just a young boy, how can he be worthy of it.

Old Master Chen disapproved and said, "This Yingge is a good person, talented, very talented."

She is indeed talented. Talented people can make the Chen family, which has always been ambitious but lacks the ability, take the initiative to agree to this marriage. When Yingge and Chen Junhe had that hurtful incident, there was obviously a chance to ease the situation, but in the end, there was no chance. Wasn't Chen Junhe still put in solitary confinement by Old Master Chen?

Old Master Chen said, "You have heard this saying, it is never too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost."

It turns out that this sentence can be understood in this way. Chen Junhe sat on the chair with great admiration. That boy was really going to become his brother-in-law. He couldn't help but think of the bets they made several times. At that time, he had to call him "big brother".

Yingge of that boy didn't know that Liu Abao had made a bet in which he had bet herself to Miss Chen Wuer, and the bet was about to take effect. Now she didn't want to care about anything and just wanted to take a good hot bath.

The inner shirt was taken off, and the pads on the shoulders, the cloth wrapped around the chest, and the cloth wrapped around the waist were untied layer by layer, revealing a slender neck, fair skin, small earlobes, and a face that was painted with a layer of rouge, making it look bright and charming.

Yingge put a wet towel on her face, and the water mixed with medicine powder dripped down her neck. Xue's hand was on her injured shoulder, and she felt so distressed. She rubbed it carefully for a while and said, "What should a girl do with such a big scar?"

Yingge shook her shoulders and shook off Xue's hand forcefully, saying, "Mother, before I just wanted to avoid getting hurt, but now it's good enough to still be alive, so I still want to avoid suffering physically, don't be greedy."

Mother Xue smiled and said, "Okay, hurry up and wash up. Master Liu just called me. I don't know what it is. I'll go check it out now."

Yingge sank into the tub, watching Xue go away, resting her head comfortably on the tub, letting go of all the fatigue in her body... From now on, she will be a teacher in peace and stability.

Xiao Taohong's voice sounded outside the door, "Master, someone sent an invitation outside the door again. It's to attend a banquet. And, there's also someone who invites you to enjoy the scenery."

Listening to Xiao Taohong's chattering, Yingge could almost imagine that those who sent the invitations were just teenagers playing together, not family members. But these teenagers were the future, they had suffered together, been to jail together, their friendship was extraordinary, and if a private school was established in the future, they would be the teachers who could introduce students to attend classes.

Yingge imagined the scene in her mind. She put her hands behind her head and thought of a serious problem. If she became a teacher in the future, what would her nickname be?

You can't call him Sanshilang.

Xiao Taohong was chattering as she flipped through the name card in her hand. Yingge also saw the name inside and chuckled.

At this time, in the study room of Liu's house, Liu Wenru laughed at Xue Shi. "I never thought that this matter would end like this. It's great that there was no bloodshed."

Xue said, "Then this matter is considered to be over, and we don't have to leave?"

Liu Wenru looked at Xue in front of him with a slightly complicated expression and said, "Not only does she not have to leave, Yingge has become a figure in the whole Mo City. She is no longer as cowardly and humble as before. Just based on her poems and the friendship she shared through hardships with her classmates, she can be considered a real friend."

Xue also thought about the attitude of the neighbors around her now. She said in a daze, "So, is it a good thing or a bad thing to say that?"

Everyone has started to pay attention to Yingge. Will it attract other people's attention? It would be good if people didn't pay attention to them like before.

Liu Wenru smiled bitterly and said, "When no one is paying attention, won't the child cause a lot of trouble? The child is grown up and can't hide it anymore... After all, he is a young man. Now that he has caused trouble, the parents don't know whether to restrain him or not. It's a pity."

Xue said, "Why do we need to investigate after it's all over?" Then she sat down angrily and said, "Investigate, investigate. It would be best if we investigate the people who instigated our Yingzi."

The two were talking.

"Master, Master, Master Chen is here."

Master Chen, that man hasn't visited the Liu family since Mr. Chen and apologized last time. Even when he was greeted on the road, he didn't say a word. Why is he taking the initiative now?

Liu Wenru asked, "You didn't beat Chen Jun and come here to ask for punishment, did you?"

Xue's eyes flickered slightly, "If you spare his son, will you spare his father? I'll make him a bowl of tea later."

Liu Wenru quickly held her back and said, "Wait and see. You can't just kill people to do things. Wait and see what else you can do."

Liu Wenru followed the butler to the reception room and saw Master Chen sitting there drinking tea peacefully. He couldn't help but feel moved. He was already sitting down to drink tea, but last time he was unwilling to even sit down.

Master Chen was drinking tea at the table. When he saw Liu Wenru coming in, he stood up and saluted, saying, "General, how are you?"

Liu Wenru hurriedly returned the courtesy and said he was not worthy of it. After a while, the host and the guest pulled each other and sat down. The maid also changed the tea and sat down.

Liu Wenru said, "I heard that your family gave a lot of burial expenses to the children who fell into the water. I would like to thank you on behalf of my sister-in-law, and I would also like to thank Master Chen." After saying that, he stood up and saluted.

Master Chen smiled and returned the greeting, "General, there is no need to be polite. We will be relatives in the future."

These words made Master Liu stunned for a moment. Where did this idea of ​​in-laws come from? Is there anyone in Mo City who wants to become relatives?

“I wonder where this relative came from?”

Master Chen didn't seem surprised either, and told him about the bet between Liu Abao and Miss Chen's Fifth Family. Liu Wenru was stunned. This, this, this, he didn't know there was such a thing, how could this be true.

Master Chen said, "How can this not be considered true? Since it is a bet, of course it must be fulfilled, even if it is a woman. I think this general's mansion can't go back on its word. If you don't know how to say it, take me to find Xue and Yingge, and I will say it directly to their faces."

Let's talk, putting the engagement letter on the table. Liu Wenru picked it up and took a look at it in a daze. Sure enough, it said the birthday of the fifth daughter of the Chen family, etc. Master Chen was still talking in his ears, and Liu Wenru had no idea where his mind was wandering.

"I have chosen a date, it is October 8th. If we want to get married, Young Master Yingge is thirteen years old this year, and forty years old will be just right."

"Besides, since we're already engaged, it's not a good idea for us to live in your house. We've already found a house. The old man bought it himself. It's all ready. We can live there right after the wedding."

This, this, even the house has been bought, and the days are set. Liu Wenru looked up at Master Chen who was speaking. Are they really going to execute this?

The news spread quickly, spreading like the wind in the Liu family. Liu Ziheng and Yufeng were surprised and envious, and said, "Yinggege is really amazing. First it was Yutang from Chunyutang, then it was Sister Abao, and now there is the fifth daughter of the Chen family. She is really blessed. A man should be like this."

When Liu Abao heard the news, her face turned red and she smashed the quilt in her hand in anger, saying, "No, I don't agree." Her attitude would be as firm as when she heard that Yingge was engaged to her.

You know, when Liu Wenru said he was going to get engaged to Liu Abao, she was furious and opposed it. Now that she finally doesn't have to marry Yingge, why is she so upset again?

Mrs. Liu persuaded her with such a good attitude, "Son, this is a good thing." Mrs. Liu knew very well about the bet between Liu Abao and Miss Chen Wu. She had mentioned it more than once at the beginning. Who would take it seriously at that time? But who would care at that time? But it was different now. The Chen family had admitted it on their own initiative.

"The Chen family has many daughters, so they can just send any one away. But you are different. Your father and I only have you as our child. You should think about us."

When Liu Abao heard Mrs. Liu say this, he stamped his feet in anger and said, "This won't do. I'm going to the Chen family to ask them for an explanation." After that, he ran away with his sword in his hand, and the people behind him were busy again.

Here, Master Chen was already too impatient to talk to Liu Wenru. While Liu Wenru was asking about things in the backyard, he took the initiative to find Yingge and talk to her.

Xue's attitude after hearing this was exactly the same as Liu Wenru's. Is the Chen family sick? How could they be so careless in marrying off their children? They were even taking the initiative. Liu Wenru had just said that after this incident, many noble families would not want to associate with Yingge. How come someone was rushing to marry into the family right after he said that?

Regardless of being surprised or not, this matter had to be resolved as soon as possible. After taking a shower, Yingge stood in the house wrapped in an outer shirt and felt funny.

Old Master Chen was also slightly surprised and asked, "Why, do you want to regret it? This is not what a gentleman does."

Liu Wenru, who came hurriedly, followed and asked, "Are they acting like gentlemen? What do you mean by a gentleman's promise? They didn't fulfill their promise at the beginning, so why do they remember it now?"

Liu Ziheng and Yu Feng who came with him were also counting on their fingers and saying, "It's great to sing and write poems. He is good at both literature and martial arts, looks good, and is loyal..."

It sounds like that's the case, but even if that's the case, she shouldn't be valued by the aristocratic family as a son-in-law. What do the aristocratic family value about her?

Liu Wenru thought about it one by one. Could it be because she was a rare commodity? Well, could it be that her identity had been known to others?

Xue was also confused. This shouldn't happen. If they had known this earlier, why would they have come to the Liu family? Wouldn't it be better to find a bigger family?

Everyone in the compound who knew about it was talking about it. Looking at the scene, Master Chen could only say, "We in the Chen family will never do such a thing as going back on our word. Wu'er is a member of the Ying family in life and a ghost of their family in death." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Liu Wenru was a little stunned. How could he cheat like this? He really saw it.

"What is going on?" Liu Wenru asked, looking at Yingge. Now he thought it would be better to ask Yingge directly.

Yingge laughed and said, "Isn't it obvious? The Chen family has taken a fancy to me."

Liu Wenru asked, "Why is this?"

"Because, because I'm good." After saying this, Yingge gestured and shook hands with his arm. After all, he was a man of both civil and military talents.

Liu Wenru was speechless, so Yingge had to pick up the note and said, "Master, don't worry. I will go to the Chen family in person. Master Liu keeps his promise, but I, Yingge, will definitely be a gentleman. Although the Chen family is rich and powerful, I will not be ungrateful."

Liu Wenru said, "So, I have to thank you for this."

"Well, you're welcome."

Liu Wenru said with a snort, "You want to be ungrateful, but you have to be able to forget it."

Haha, now Xue heard that Yingge was actually teasing her, and she scolded, "Stop making trouble, wash your hands and go eat." Then she asked Liu Weiru to come out.

"Look at her, look at her, she's acting like a scoundrel, and it's getting worse and worse."

Xue smiled and said, "No, I think she's fine. Look, the Chen family is attracted to her."

Liu Wenru lowered his voice and said, "Don't let her play too much. The Chen family is not to be trifled with." After saying that, he glanced at Yingge who was sitting in the room reading. She looked quite quiet, but he didn't know if this quietness was just an act.

Oh, this child has grown up to be such a headache.

On the official road of the prefectural school, a group of soldiers rushed towards the community school, and people around asked, "What's going on?"

Why are there still officers and soldiers going to the academy?

"Isn't this matter over yet?"

"I heard that it's over, but the rioters were actually instigated by humans. Now we have to find the murderer."

“Many students were questioned.”

"The court has specially sent an inspector here. Prefect Liang also knows about this matter and has received training. So has Mr. Zichun."

"Well, being a teacher is not easy."

People in the street were sighing, and Zhixing squatted on the side and listened with great interest. It was indeed not acceptable for him to be a teacher.

"As the saying goes, if the student can't be taught well, it's the teacher's fault. Since the student can't be taught well, it must be the teacher's fault."

"It would be better if the discipline was a little stricter."

The people around nodded in agreement.

"If you eat someone's food, you're going to be soft-hearted. If you take someone's food, you're going to be reluctant to give them back. As a teacher, you have to teach people the truth."

When people around heard him say this, the discussion became louder, and Zhixing took the opportunity to put a pile of books on the ground.

"Do you want to buy a book? Do you want to buy a storybook?"

“This is the latest one.”

Just as the noise was going on, another group of people came galloping. This time they did not rush towards the street, but went to the back mountain of the school.

"What is this for?" Everyone asked curiously, "Are they arresting people again?"

Zhixing waved the book in his hand and said, "We are not students, nor are we teachers of the academy. Even if they catch us, they can't catch us, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the soldiers coming to check and asked, "Have you passed Xiaolin Hall?"

"Where is Xiaolin Hall?"

"Why does this name sound so familiar?" Zhixing thought to himself while holding the book in the book.

"Are these books from the bookstore?" a citizen asked, and just as he turned around to look, "Hey, where is the old man who was selling books here just now?"
