When it comes to business at home, even if ten Su Hongxiu are tied together, they are not my opponents, but if it comes to matching mouths, the hundred are not Su Hongxiu's opponents. Chen Yueying was a little flustered when asked, and blinked. Blinking his eyes, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he quickly smiled and said, "Jiaan was never at home, he went out to learn the piano."

"Learning piano?" Su Hongxiu repeated, his expression was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Isn't that just right? To tell you the truth, Mr. Qin Shengji from Nanjing was invited to this poetry meeting. If Mr. He wants to learn the piano, wouldn't it be a good time to find him."

How did Chen Yueying think that she was just saying something casually, but she really fell in the arms of others, this is really shooting herself in the foot, she wanted to refuse, but she couldn't find any good reason to refuse in a short time, it was just embarrassing At that time, Su Hongxiu was about to leave.

"Sister Su, you also know that I'm busy these days, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time, or..."

Before she could finish her refusal, Su Hongxiu's eyes widened, and she said sullenly, "I said, sister, I never saw you being so coy when I asked you out in the past. What's going on today? Oh, I Got it, could it be that my brother-in-law doesn't let you go out? It doesn't matter, you leave this matter to me, and I will definitely be able to persuade him to go out for an outing together. "

This... Su Hongxiu can’t be allowed to meet He Jia’an first, otherwise the two parties’ lines will match, and they will only lose their own face. Chen Yueying simply gritted her teeth, nodded and said, “It’s better not to bother Sister Su, when the time comes My husband and I will be there on time."

"That's about the same." Su Hongxiu greeted Chen Yueying with a smug expression, and then walked away gracefully.

She left, but the expression on Chen Yueying's face became even uglier. After sitting in the living room for a while, she suddenly said, "Xiao Zhao, go to the aunt's courtyard to see if Xiu'er is back. If she comes back, let her Come here, I have something to ask her."

"Yes, Miss." Xiao Zhao, who had been standing at the door, turned around and left. Chen Yueying was left alone in the living room. She couldn't help thinking about what to do when she went out. If He Jiaan just walked away It's okay to have a cutscene, but I'm afraid of what to do if I ask him to chant a poem or play a piece of music.

Now I feel a little regretful, I should have listened to my father if I knew it earlier, and found a scholar to be my husband, at least I can pretend to be good at critical moments.

After a while, when Chen Yueying was distressed about the outing, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, and then two figures appeared at the door of the living room, Xiao Zhao said softly: "Miss, embroidered My sister is here."

"Come in." Chen Yueying agreed.

Xiu'er walked in with a curious face, and stood beside Chen Yueying after inviting her. In fact, she had just come back not long ago. She originally thought that the eldest lady was asking about my uncle's itinerary for today, but after standing for a while, she didn't answer. Seeing the eldest lady speak, just when she was puzzled, Chen Yueying finally asked: "Did He Jiaan go to learn the piano today?"

"I did, but I didn't succeed in my studies." Xiu'er said truthfully.

"My uncle said that he was kicked out without even entering the gate."

Chapter 8 Sending an Invitation

Being rejected by Xiaoyuxuan's people was not in He Jiaan's expectation. He thought it was a matter of mutual benefit, but he didn't expect that he would be regarded as Meng Lang's disciple. On the way back from Xiaoyuxuan, He Jiaan felt a little bit Not very happy, not happy in my heart, it naturally manifested in my emotions, I didn't want to touch those things in the house for the time being, after thinking about it, I started to practice Tai Chi in the yard.

It's called Taijiquan, but in fact it's just a show. It can't beat people and can't be counted. In the previous life, He Jiaan was more obsessed with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and ignored his own movements. Over time, his body First of all, I couldn't hold on, too intense exercise was not suitable for me, so I simply learned a set of Tai Chi from the old men in the square. After I persisted every day, my body became much stronger.

After a set of punches, He Jiaan's body was sweating. It is easy to catch a cold when the spring is warm and cold. This era is different from a thousand years later. Maybe a small cold can kill someone, so just after punching, He Jiaan went back to his room, took out other clothes and prepared to change.

Just after taking off this face, before I could dry my body, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and then Xiu'er's voice came in: "Grandpa, grandpa, you are... ah!"

As soon as the high-octave voice sounded, He Jiaan was startled. He looked at Xiu'er covering his face and shouting in surprise, but he didn't know what to do.

"Shut up." Hearing this voice, he thought he had done something to the little girl, He Jia'an yelled, quickly wiped off the sweat on his body, put on a set of clean clothes, and said in a muffled voice : "I changed it, you can open your eyes."

Xiu'er's heart was in a mess. In fact, when she was sent to this courtyard by the eldest lady, she had some preparations in her heart. It seemed that the eldest lady was not going to consummate the house with the uncle, but she sent herself here , but the meaning here is obvious. It should be that he regards himself as a big girl who is in charge of the house. He wanted to say no, but then he thought again, how can he stay in Chen's house after he rejected the eldest lady's idea?It's better to follow her wishes and be more careful at ordinary times. Whenever my uncle does something wrong, I will yell.

So, when she saw that He Jiaan was like this today, she subconsciously covered her face and yelled loudly.

When He Jiaan yelled to shut up, Xiu'er really closed her mouth, but opened a gap with her fingers covering her face. When she saw He Jiaan just wiped her body and then put on her clothes, I also realized that my reaction just now seemed to be a bit excessive. After He Jiaan was dressed, I slowly took off my palm and said embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, uncle."

Seeing her like this, He Jiaan didn't want to reprimand him any more, so he shook his head and sighed softly: "Please remember to knock on the door first when you come in next time, okay?"

"Definitely, definitely." Now she was so embarrassing, Xiu'er lowered her head embarrassingly, because this interruption completely forgot her purpose of coming here.

She just stood there stupidly, but didn't say a word. After a while, He Jiaan couldn't help asking: "By the way, what did Missy ask you to do just now?"

Speaking of Miss, Xiu'er finally came to her senses, and said quickly after she came to her senses: "Master, Miss has said that I will let you have lunch with her soon."

To have dinner with his titular wife?This is something that He Jiaan never dreamed about. In fact, he has lived in the Chen Mansion for so many days, but the chances of meeting her can be counted by a slap, except for the first day when she met her. Apart from a few words I said, there was little other communication.

Therefore, when He Jiaan was brought to Chen Yueying's embroidery building, he was still quite uneasy. Looking at Chen Yueying's back, he hesitated and said, "Mother... madam, are you looking for me?"

The phrase "lady" is really very unfamiliar, and He Jiaan didn't know what to call it for a while, and he also remembered that she said that she was his wife, so there should be nothing wrong with calling it that way.

Chen Yueying who heard the voice finally turned her head slowly, looked at He Jiaan's face, but suddenly had some doubts in her heart, probably because He Jiaan left a bad impression on her when they met for the first time, So when I took a closer look today, I felt that He Jia'an was quite handsome, and his face didn't have the original look, but he seemed a little more cautious.

"I heard from Xiu'er, have you gone to learn the piano?" Sitting at the two ends of the dining table were supposed to be extremely close two people, but judging from their movements, it seemed that young men and women who met for the first time were not in harmony with each other. Not very familiar, just talking casually.

He Jiaan thought that with the wealth of the Chen family, even though Chen Yueying's meal was not a big meal, it would not be such a rough meal. Two plates of fried vegetables and a bowl of white rice were all that was available here. Looking at Chen Yueying, it was not difficult to eat He Jiaan wouldn't think that she was deliberately using these to test herself.

"I went, but I was kicked out as soon as I got to the door." He Jiaan shook his head with a wry smile, and told Chen Yueying what happened today in detail.

Although the matter had nothing to do with her, Chen Yueying listened very carefully. After He Jiaan finished speaking, she thought about it for a while and said: "This is the first time I heard the name of Xiaoyuxuan, but I remember Jinfenglou There is an oiran named Xiao Yu'er in it, and I don't know if the two are related."

Unexpectedly, when she casually mentioned Xiaoyuxuan, Chen Yueying would be able to move out an oiran from a brothel. What surprised He Jiaan the most was the calmness with which the other party talked about the oiran, as if it was a very common thing and she was alone.

After Xiao Yuxuan finished speaking, the conversation between the two fell silent. He Jiaan didn't know why Chen Yueying had asked him to come here, and he didn't want to deepen the relationship between husband and wife with him. She didn't speak, and she didn't say anything. Instead, he ate the two plates of vegetables silently.

It wasn't until she put down the bowls and chopsticks that Chen Yueying noticed that all the dishes on the table had been eaten up. Seeing that He Jiaan didn't have a picky expression, she still applauded slightly in her heart, so she told the purpose of this time .

After a pause, the expression on Chen Yueying's face became embarrassed, and she said with some regret: "If they want you to sing poems and play the piano, just do your best."

Chapter 9 What is this?

If you don't want to be changed by life, then change your life.

He Jiaan didn't take Chen Yueying's repeated exhortations to heart. For him, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting seemed to grow in his heart. No matter when and where, as long as he wanted, he could take it out .

Poems are even simpler. I didn’t copy a collection of poems when I practiced calligraphy, so I’ll just come up with one. It’s just that the stereotyped essays give me a bit of a headache, but if I want to come to such an occasion, no one will bring up that kind of disappointment. request.

As a soul who embodies the good life of the 21st century, He Jiaan always feels a little uncomfortable with the current life. He can vomit a lot of grievances about basic necessities of life.

Let’s take clothes as an example. There are many kinds of clothes in the 21st century, such as formal clothes, sportswear, casual clothes, etc. But here, although there are many clothes, there is only one style to turn over and over again. Always clash with others.

Not to mention the food, although this era has paid a lot of attention to food and drink, but compared with later generations, it is not much different from pig food.

So, it's boring to be idle anyway, He Jiaan decided to reward his five internal organs temple first, and then talk about clothes... It's better not to be so maverick.

When thinking of eating, the easiest thing is to barbecue, but I can't get so many seasonings for a while with my own strength, but fortunately, there is a little maid in my yard.

When Xiu'er saw He Jiaan approaching with a smile on her face, she immediately asked vigilantly, "Master, I really have no money."

He Jiaan's expression couldn't help but stagnate, does he look so much like someone who came to borrow money?Shaking his head, he said, "I didn't borrow money from you."

"Then..." Xiu'er looked even more flustered, with her hands covering her chest, her face was even more terrified: "Master, I, I'm still young, so just let me go."

I'll go, here and there, I just want Xiu'er to go to the kitchen to get some seasonings, but it looks like I'm hungry.

Sighing helplessly, He Jiaan said simply: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in bean sprouts like yours. I want you to go to the kitchen and help me find some seasonings."

"Oh." Only now did Xiu'er realize that she had misunderstood the meaning of the wrong uncle again, stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, and turned around to run out, but she turned back just as she turned around, with a curious expression on her face. Asked: "Grandpa, what seasoning do you want?"

"Of course, the more the better." He Jiaan pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Well, you take a little of each one first, and I will taste it before talking."

"Okay." Xiu'er walked away in a daze, and turned back after a long time. Compared with when she left, she had an extra wooden box in her hand, and put it on the ground in front of He Jiaan. Opening the lid of the wooden box, he complained: "Grandma Li in the kitchen is very lively, she just took some seasonings, and she has been nagging her for a long time. If I was still doing things in front of the eldest lady, she would not dare to do this." Woolen cloth."

Saying this is nothing more than Granny Li's powerful eyes. On the other hand, it also shows how low the status of He Jiaan in the Chen Mansion is. However, these complaints fall into He Jiaan's ears, but he doesn't take it seriously. He carefully distinguishes each seasoning. Finally, his brow suddenly wrinkled.

The seasoning is complete enough, but if you want to make barbecue, but the most important seasoning is missing, there is obviously no chili here.
