Chapter 10 The Eve of Farewell

The willow in front of the door is still thin, and Chen Yanlin sat alone in the inner room of the Wu family courtyard, looking at the scenery outside the window, as if she saw the scene yesterday.

When Zhu Yuanzhang killed his meritorious officials, Chen Wansan, who was rich enough to defeat the country, was exiled.

However, Chen Wansan had already known that he could not escape the misfortune, so he spread his wealth and left seeds in Yunnan, Jinling, Suzhou and Zhouzhuang so that future generations could prosper again.

Later, in order to escape from Taizu's relocation, the people of the Chen family changed their surname to Zhou. Only the descendants of the direct descendants still had their surname Chen, but they did not dare to make it clear to others.

The Zhou clan members took Zhouzhuang as their roots, held the treasure pot in the legend of Shen Wansan, and became rich.

The family fortune in Suzhou was obtained by Chen Yanlin when she married Wu Lingwen.

The eldest daughter of the Wu family became the owner of the Suzhou Pavilion because of Chen Yanlin's private payment.

Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, launched the Jingnan Campaign and seized the throne, so he changed Jinling to Nanjing and set it as Liudu, and there were still six tribes.

Jinling was also renovated, and some of the wealth left by Chen Wansan Station disappeared.

Chen Yanlin and her elder brother are both direct descendants of the Chen family. After marrying into Suzhou, Chen Yanlin sent people to visit Nanjing many times but gained nothing.

His brother went to Sichuan to find the property in Yunnan and the connections Chen Wansan stayed on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road.

Chen Yanlin, who has been wandering outside for decades but cannot be justified, is actually scheming. Chen Yanlin, who has a coquettish appearance, has great grievances and hardships in her heart.

Back then, the tribe members fled everywhere, but only the direct lineage was always in contact with the Zhou family.

Xiaojiu, who came to Wu’s mansion today, was a servant who followed Chen Yanlin twenty years ago.

Five years before joining the Wu family, Chen Yanlin realized that the time had not come, so she used a secret recipe to protect her fetus and gave birth to a daughter.

Later, He Ruoxue married into the Wu family and gave birth to a son. Chen Yanlin was deeply afraid that Wu Yu would take the position of head of the family, so she gave birth to a son and competed with him to inherit the wealth of the Wu family in the future. She could hide it in it and plan major events.

Although Chen Wansan helped Zhu Yuanzhang conquer the country, he actually said that he was born as a member of the Yuan Dynasty and died as a ghost of the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang was kind to revenge, and the children of the Chen family must not let his country sit firmly.

Now that Xiaojiu has arrived in Suzhou, Chen Yanlin knows that the Zhou family has accumulated a lot of strength. It happened that Wu Yu is going to Xichuan. She plans to let Xiaojiu follow Wu Yu secretly. One is to go to Sichuan to find his elder brother, and the other is to solve Wu Yu's trouble.

Mother!

A crisp sound disrupted Chen Yanlin's thoughts.

Chen Yanlin turned around and saw Wu Feng standing in front of the door with a frown.

He was wearing a black and white straight blue dress, and his hair was tied with a red rope and jade pendant.

He had a look of similarity to Chen Yanlin, and his handsome face looked at his mother with confusion.

The wind.

Chen Yanlin swept away her worries and smiled slightly and said: I must have a lot to ask my mother, come here...

Mother, who are you?

Wu Feng stared at Chen Yanlin and asked a strange question.

Chen Yanlin understood what Wu Feng meant, but couldn't help but laugh: Haha, silly child, can't even recognize her mother?Well, those old past events should be told to you too.

Seeing that Chen Yanlin seemed to be planning to tell her some secrets, Wu Feng quickly stood behind her and pinched her delicate and boneless shoulders.

Chen Yanlin was once again trapped in memories, and her voice was like from eternity: Rabbits die and dogs cook, and birds hide their bows. When Chen Wansan helped Zhu Yuanzhang conquer the country, he was exiled. From then on, the children of the Chen family were in peace for generations.I... am the direct descendant of the Chen family...

Wu Feng's pupils suddenly focused when he heard this. He was born as a son for seventeen years, but he only realized his mother's background until now.

Chen Yanlin's voice continued: Before I married your father at the age of sixteen, I had been living a life of no fixed place.The court's fear of the Chen family from Hongwu to Jingtai. The year you were born, when Emperor Yingzong ascended the throne, the world was amnesty, and my mother was able to take this opportunity to contact the Zhou family and elder brother.

Five years ago, Emperor Yingzong was captured by the Oirat, and the court was in chaos. The Zhou family wanted to take advantage of the situation.The current birth mother of the crown prince, Zhou Guifei, is from my Zhou family. She is a member of the Changping lineage. She was later adopted as the imperial concubine and became the inner responder of the Zhou family in the palace.The Zhou family originally thought that Yingzong would be captured, and if the crown prince ascended the throne, Concubine Zhou would be the empress dowager.Unexpectedly, King Cheng came out halfway and ascended the throne to the emperor.The Zhou family couldn't sit still, but your uncle was wandering in the way of tea and horse at that time. The Zhou family had no leader, but the big thing was left unresolved.It was at that time that Xiaojiu followed the Zhou family to Zhouzhuang.

While kneading his mother's shoulders, Wu Feng asked: Why do the Zhou family want to ask you to take charge of the overall situation again?

Chen Yanlin felt that Wu Feng was just right, and a feeling of comfort came from her shoulders. She couldn't help but sigh: Now that thieves are everywhere, the Emperor Daizong of the dynasty is cowardly and hesitant, it is even more useless than that stupid Zhu Qizhen.My Shen family is rich and powerful. If you contact the other three major families, you will definitely be able to capture the country.

Wu Feng heard Chen Yanlin's unscrupulous comments on the current dynasty and the previous emperors, not only calling him the name of Emperor Yingzong, but also calling him a fool, and he couldn't help but be frightened.

Don’t listen if you are not polite, and don’t listen if you are not polite. Although Wu Feng has ambitions, he found that Chen Yanlin is more arrogant than herself.

Three big families?

Wu Feng calmed down and asked with a frown.

Although the four major families are powerful, they have always been hidden at the bottom of the water.

Ordinary people do not know that there are these four families like a clan in the world, and Wu Yu is young, but he doesn't know where to learn such secrets.

Silly son, you are ambitious and good at planning, but you don’t know the general trend of the world... The four major families are now like families.The King of Tang in Gusu, the Zhou Money House in Jiangnan, the Tiandao of Song in Shandong, and the Qin family army in the northern border.If the four major families unite, even the imperial court cannot resist.

Chen Yanlin did not care about the court when she spoke, which shows how powerful the four major families are.

Jiangnan Zhou Money House... If you can call it a money house, you must be famous for your financial resources. I didn't expect that my mother was the daughter of a rich family...

Wu Feng thought about it secretly, remembered the names of the four major families in his heart, and said with a teasing voice.

Haha, the money bank will be handed over to your baby son this week.

Chen Yanlin spoiled and authentic.

How can a child bear this great task?Since my uncle is in Sichuan, why not let that little brother Jiu go and search.

Wu Feng asked softly.

Xiaojiu is a servant of the Chen family, you don’t need to call him eldest brother.Now our eldest young master of the Wu family is about to go to Xichuan, so he asked Xiaojiu to be his companion.

There was a hint of coldness in Chen Yanlin's eyes.

A cool breeze blew outside the window, and Chen Yanlin stopped talking and quietly enjoyed the perfect massage from Wu Feng.

It was noon, but the green backyard was quite cool.

Chen Yanlin and her son were also a rare family happiness. Wu Lingwen stayed in the store today and did not come back. Chen Yanlin ordered the servants to serve a few side dishes and had a meal with Wu Feng, and explained the topic just now invisible.

------------------

Penglai Residence.

Wu Yu had already returned from the escort agency. At this time, he was sitting with He Ruoxue. Liu'er was sitting in the hall, and he flew across his mouth and told He Ruoxue what happened today.

Today, He Ruoxue was also very happy and suddenly made a few dishes by himself, so he had lunch with Wu Yu and the others.

Yun Xin didn't know where he ran away. As soon as Wu Yu came back, the three of them set up tables and chairs, and chatted while eating.

Mother, it’s a pity that you didn’t go!

Wu Yu swallowed a sip of hot tea and waved his hand: That gate, that plaque, and that momentum... he really deserves to be the King of Tang of Gusu.

Haha, OK, it depends on your exaggeration...

He Ruoxue had a smile on his eyes and asked Wu Yu to sit down: Like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, the Tang family in the Gusu Province became famous with the overlord's gun, so they naturally had to be more powerful than others.

Liu'er said strangely next to her: Do you know the Tang family in Gusu?Today, I have never heard of the four major families being famous all over the world.

Hehe, you can't blame you either.

Seeing that Liu'er was unable to participate in the topic, Wu Yu seemed a little disappointed, and held her hand and said: I also heard it back from Gui's sister-in-law.When Uncle Gui's wife left him, his father was worried that he would die alone, so he hired a marriage for him. The remarried wife was Gui's current wife.

Well, I know this.

Liu'er said obediently: But how did Gui's wife know about the four major families?

He Ruoxue took over the conversation and said: Before Gui's wife married Gui's uncle, she was a child of the world, and her position was not weak. Otherwise, how could she make Uncle Gui obey?

That is, Sister Gui is knowledgeable and has many interesting stories from her.

Wu Yu put a piece of meat in his mouth.

Don’t eat or sleep, look at your unruly appearance...

He Ruoxue glanced at Wu Yu with a angrily look.

Seeing Wu Yu's cripple, Liu'er laughed and her pink cheeks were as stupid as a peach, which made Wu Yu stunned.

Seeing that the two of them were in love, He Ruoxue smiled with relief and said: This trip to the west is also good. Let you spend more time with the joy of wedding, I believe Yu'er can't wait.

Miss…

Liu'er stomped her feet and said angrily.

There was a burst of laughter in the middle of Penglai, which shocked the cicadas of the apricot tree, and the joy at noon, and even forgot the hot summer.

------------------

The sun sets and night falls. Suddenly a sudden rain came in the afternoon. Wu Lingwen was rushing back to his house, but he was sitting in the sedan chair but heard the thunder sound. He quickly urged the sedan chair operator to speed up. Unexpectedly, one of them accidentally slipped. Wu Lingwen was in the sedan chair and cursed the bad luck.

It was not until dinner had passed and the smoke of cooking had dissipated that Wu Lingwen returned to the mansion.

After having dinner hastily, he fell into the study, not knowing what to do.

Chen Yanlin, who was beaten last night, lost interest tonight. Yuqin was about to travel west, and Wu Lingwen had already sent a maid to replace Yuqin.

This maid and Yun Xin were originally Wu Lingwen's body, named Yuerong. Wu Lingwen jokingly called the two Caiyun Zhuyue.

Yuerong, I have nothing to serve here, you can go to the master.

Chen Yanlin was in a relaxed mood tonight. She hadn't seen Xiaojiu for a long time. She thought about reminiscing with him at night and discussing the trip to Xichuan, so she was almost at ease.

Yes, madam.

Yuerong whispered.

Yuerong left Chen Yanlin's boudoir, but went straight to the maid's residence, called Yun Xin, and went to Wu Lingwen's study together.

Mr. Wu was checking the account books for the first half of the year. He was written in regular script with smooth flowing water and flat scarves in all directions. The scholar looked like a light.

He failed the imperial examination in his early years, and later made a fortune through business, and was always resentful, so he also had a love-hate relationship with Wu Feng.

While I was calculating, I heard Yun Xinyuerong’s voice: Master!

Come in.

Wu Lingwen's voice was neither salty nor light.

With a creak, two well-behaved little maids pushed the door and walked in.

Yun Xin was playful and Yue Rong was smart. The two of them stood in the study like sisters, watching Wu Lingwen settle the score obediently.

After putting down the pen, Wu Lingwen rubbed his eyes and said lightly: Yuerong will talk first.

yes.

Yuerong has a good fortune: The eldest lady has not gone out these two days, and she is in the garden to nourish her heart.But today a strong man came to find her, named Xiaojiu, and called the eldest lady the lady.He also mentioned the Zhou family while speaking. Now he is resting in the east wing. I have asked him that he will go to his wife's room tonight to reminisce about the past.

I know, Yun Xin, you said.

Wu Lingwen couldn't see any joy and anger on his face, and he said lightly.

The second wife has been busy with the eldest young master's journey west these days, so she only called Uncle Gui over last night and made a pot of Dahong Pao.Later, the strong wind blew down the flower pot, and the wife went upstairs to clean it. As the master told me, I asked Uncle Gui to follow me, and he came down in a while.I saw Uncle Gui's expression hesitant and entangled, and I didn't know what was going on.

Yun Xin thought about it and said.

OK, you guys go down.

Wu Lingwen was about to continue checking the accounts, but suddenly he seemed to remember something: Oh, go to Gui's sister-in-law to get some money, thank you for your hard work.In the future, you must dress up carefully with your wife.

Mr. Xie!

Yun Xin and Yue Rong both said secretly.

After the two women left, Wu Lingwen held the pen again. The ink on the inkstone had not dried and was pushed away by the wolf's hair. Occasionally, Wu Lingwen's coughing sound came from the study, and nothing seemed to have happened.

The entire Wu Mansion was silent in the night. A rain at Shenshi made the night cooler. Chen Yanlin and Xiaojiu had their own rest after chatting. The quieter the late night, just listened carefully and some strange moans came.

The sound of squeaking beds came from the largest house in the servant's residence.

Slutty lady, why are you furying tonight?

Wu Gui's tone was full of enjoyment.

Oh... I will go back to my parents' home to visit my relatives tomorrow, and let you taste the sweetness tonight... It's so thick, it's so bad...

Gui's wife's voice sounded extremely irritating, not at all the voice that half-old Xu's mother should have.

Can you solve your slut...

Wu Gui began to breathe heavily.

Humph...Damn old man, that thing is amazing...Sit down to you and squeeze you to death...Oh oh oh, Ah is here again, you are going to die...

Gui's sister-in-law screamed loudly.

On the other side, Penglaiju, the same voice, different people.

You are dying, the lady is next door...

Liu'er's exclamation came from the dark night, followed by the sound of her clothes tearing, accompanied by a few gasps, struggles, and then the sound of tsk, like the intersection of saliva.

Finally, I heard the two of them relaxingly, and seemed to be greatly satisfied.

You...be gentle, oh, the lady is going to hear it... It's too deep, so sour...

Liu'er suppressed her voice, but couldn't suppress her pleasure.

Good sister, your butt is raised a little higher, it's so tight...

Wu Yuyu said excitedly, He Ruoxue was in the next room, and the inappropriate stimulation made him feel lustful.

You are raised, Ah!You bad guy...ohohoh no, I'll break your bad stuff, um...

It's so sour inside, oh oh thrust it's...AhAh wants to pee...

…
