Chapter 4 — Tong Uyen Chi

After speaking, he turned and left. It took me a while to calm down and then I turned my head to look at the dark circles under Chu Yen Le's eyes. Remembering what Tan Tram had just mentioned about the chapter, I asked: "Last night..." "Are you busy writing the chapter?" He nodded. "How much was written?" Chu Yen Le pursed his lips, not seeing anything worth saying. He gestured with his hand... thick enough to reach two knuckles. I'm surprised. Truly Poinsettia. In just one night, one pen and one lamp were able to write so many chapters. Tan Tram is a martial general. What he hates most is the crowd of writers with long arguments. To be able to make him so angry... surely every sentence and every word were things he didn't want to hear. Thinking about that makes me laugh out loud. I grabbed Chu Yen Le's wrist, gently caressed it and asked: "Does it hurt?" "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all." I suddenly got excited to tease him. "That's it." "I also plan to cook a bowl of lotus seed soup myself for you to eat to nourish yourself." "If that's the case..." The maid standing next to him suddenly coughed loudly. Chu Yen Le paused for a moment as if he finally understood something. "It hurts." "It hurts a lot..." He let his wrists hang down, looking like he had no strength left. "Is it really painful or fake?" "..." "A little." I looked at him for a long time. So stupid, I don't even know how to lie. Look at his eyebrows getting lower and lower. In the end, I still couldn't help but laugh. "Fortunately, it doesn't hurt too much." "If it didn't hurt, there would still be lotus seed soup to eat." Finished talking. I turned around and left. Don't let him see the corner of your lips trying to hold back a smile. ... Because Chu Yen Le's medal was presented to Tan Tram, the nobles in the capital also knew about this bride exchange. Luckily it's not me who's wrong. So I don't care. During the flower viewing party, someone intentionally invited both me and Duong Suong Ngoc to come and watch the joke. I don't care. Just drinking tea with a few friends and admiring the flowers, completely ignoring the others. However, Duong Suong Ngoc deliberately followed their wishes, insisting on coming in front of me so that people could have a chance to see the excitement. "Bie, it's been a long time since you came to visit me. Are you still angry with me?" Now, Duong Suong Ngoc is no longer the cousin who has to rely on others. She became the General's wife. It's just a pity... not many people are willing to acknowledge her identity. If not, at least someone will remind her not to embarrass herself by running in front of me. One of my friends snorted and laughed. "You know, but you still came. Are you sick?" Duong Suong Ngoc's face turned red. "I'm talking to my cousin, why are you interrupting?" After saying that, she looked at me again for help. She probably thought that like before, I would stand up and help her. The Tang family was originally engaged in business and education, of course it couldn't compare to the noble family in the capital. Moreover, Duong Suong Ngoc from a young age followed a group of traders traveling everywhere. There's not much to learn about formal etiquette. On the first day she came to the Song Palace to take refuge, she was laughed at because of the wrong words and wrong rituals. Every time it was me who stood up to explain and help her. I took a sip of tea completely ignoring her. Seeing my attitude, that friend became even more sarcastic. "My family's Uyen Chi dares to acknowledge your cousin." "In this world, there is no cousin who seduces her brother-in-law?" "I don't!" Duong Suong Ngoc immediately objected. "That day on the street was chaotic, I... I also didn't know." "It's not my fault that it turned out like that." "Why did your cousin deliberately let others say that about me?" Before... I also used to say that. believe her, believe that she knows absolutely nothing. But the truth is... she knows everything. Tan Tram told her the plan

me from before. So after successfully changing palanquins, the two quickly got married. I stood up and looked at her from top to bottom. Now she is the General's wife. Every move represents the General's palace. Yet I still don't understand the rules. My eyes stopped on her hairpin and earrings. I remember very clearly. Duong Suong Ngoc did not have much dowry. That fortune has long since been divided up by greedy uncles and judges. Her mother loved her, not only supplemented her dowry but also carefully chose a marriage and the chosen one was Chu Yen Le. His temperament can easily compensate for his cousin's generosity. Moreover, the Chu family has no elders to supervise it. In the future, she will also be the boss in the house. But she... insisted on liking Tan Tram. The Qin family is forever loyal to the court and holds military power. Family rules are stricter than many noble families. If you're just a little careless, people will use the pretense of being superior, making officials feel wary. So... everything must be as careful as possible. What Old Lady Qin hates most is people who dress lavishly and wear gold and jade. In my previous life, I had to worry every day. Just wearing a little brighter color is considered luxurious. What's more, wearing gorgeous jade brooches and big earrings like that. In my previous life, I always remembered the teachings of Mrs. Tan. All the jewelry in the dowry was kept at the bottom of the chest and was never used. Storing it once lasts decades. No matter how brilliant the treasure is, it will fade, just like decades of our youth. Maybe... Duong Suong Ngoc still doesn't understand that.
