"Third brother, I feel at ease in that room." Mrs. Chen Si said.

Mr. Chen stopped and stood up, and Mrs. Chen Si quickly handed over the handkerchief.

"Your third brother is determined to die," he said, "probably because he knows in his heart that someone will take care of his affairs after his death."

Mrs. Chen Si nodded and sighed softly.

"grandfather!"

A voice called outside the door.

Mrs. Chen Si raised her eyes and saw Chen Danniang smiling outside the door.

"Danniang, come quickly. Your sister has made mutton soup today. Come and have a bowl of warm soup." She hurriedly waved and smiled.

Nowadays, other families are jealous and ignore Chen Shao's wife and daughters. As an uncle and aunt, it is Chen Shao who is resentful and does not neglect his wife and daughters.

Chen Danniang shook her head.

"Thank you, Auntie." She said, "I have eaten. I came to see my grandfather."

She shook the long bow in her hand as she spoke.

Old Mrs. Chen nodded with a smile, took his coat and put it on.

"...Danniang is really good, she perseveres day by day." He praised and walked out.

"That's natural. I do what I say." Chen Danniang said.

"There is a veteran general in the next village. I told him to give him some advice."

"That's great, thank you grandpa."

The old man and the young man chatted and laughed happily and gradually faded away.

"I really didn't expect that Dan Niang didn't change at all," said the daughter of the Chen family.

Mrs. Chen Si turned around and saw all her daughters looking outside.

Yes, I really didn’t expect that.

Her father murdered the prince and died, and he himself was once a prince. After such a big change, some women in the clan couldn't bear it and hanged themselves. But she, the person most directly responsible for the crime, was calm, eating and drinking as she should.

Talking, laughing and having fun, just like before.

"You don't have to be seen to be miserable," she said.

"But you can't hide it from others by forcing a smile on your face." The daughters said, "Danniang is acting like this because she really has nothing to do with her heart."

"How could it be okay?" Mrs. Chen Si sighed and said, "My whole life is ruined."

Speaking of this, his expression became even sadder.

It wasn't just Daniang who was ruined, her whole family and her children were also ruined.

Even with the queen's good intentions, life is not just about eating and drinking.

Not only children, but also descendants. Thinking of descendants makes me even sadder. Daughters and sons have all been disowned and cannot be married, so where are the descendants?

Mrs. Chen Si couldn't help hiding her face and was about to cry. Just as she raised her hand, someone coughed outside the door.

"Is it Chen Silang's family?"

Mrs. Chen Si looked up and saw two women and two men standing outside the door. When she saw her looking over, she smiled and saluted.

"We are from the Liu family in Taizhou."

Taizhou Liu family?

Mrs. Chen Si was a little surprised. Which company is it? What are you looking for?

"That's right. Our family came here specifically to marry your family, Chen Shiliu." The man said with a smile.

Propose marriage!

Mrs. Chen Si was immediately stunned.

Nowadays, everyone is avoiding the Chen family. Someone actually comes to propose marriage. Moreover, the way this person dresses and talks is definitely not ordinary.

This, what's going on?

…………………………………………

"Taizhou Liu family?"

Mr. Chen Si, who was called back from the mountain, frowned slightly.

"It is the home of a military commander, and Liu Nianchun, the current Qinzhou Road guard, belongs to their family."

"That family is not lowly." Mrs. Chen Si said in surprise.

Even in the past, when Chen Shao was still alive, although he could not discuss marriage with the children of Chen Shao's family, he was in the same household as them.

But now it's a door they can't reach.

"It's the daughter of a man named Liu Kui from the Liu family. This Liu Kui is the new governor of Northwest Road." Mrs. Chen Si said while looking at the name card in her hand.

Master Chen Si looked surprised.

"His daughter is blind?"

Mrs. Chen Si shook her head.

"Deaf?"

"Fool?"

"Or is there something wrong with his character?"

Master Chen Si asked in one breath, and Mrs. Chen Si shook her head and laughed.

"No, not really. He said he is seventeen years old. He is capable of both literary and martial arts. He also brought a portrait." She said while looking at the scroll on the other side.

"The portraits are not trustworthy either," Mr. Chen Si said.

Mrs. Chen Si looked at him.

"But this portrait is signed by everyone from Beijing to Zhongfan," she said.

Mr. Chen Si’s eyes suddenly widened.

Everyone, Fan! He is a famous artist who paints beauties. Not everyone can afford such a famous artist, and he is definitely not someone who works with others to hide their secrets.

What's going on?

Going to such trouble to get married to their family? It would have been a matter of course in the past, but now...

"The Liu family said that their master had met the young master once in the capital and wanted to propose marriage, but he was of low status and did not dare to reach out. He has always been thinking about it and heard that the 16th son broke off the engagement. So he came to propose the marriage in a hurry," said Mrs. Chen Si.

.

Is this like this? Why does it sound like something performed on a stage?

Mr. Chen Si was stunned.

"I always find this thing strange." He said, standing up, "I'll ask my father."

………………………………………….

After the snow in winter, there were few people outside the village. A long arrow flew past, causing the birds gathered on the branches to fly around.

Chen Danniang's laughter rang out.

She looked back and saw that Mr. Chen was talking to Mr. Chen Si. She stuck out her tongue, straightened her bow and arrow, pointed it at the grass target in the open space, and seriously drew the bow and shot.

Old Mrs. Chen who was listening suddenly burst into laughter.

"Shiro, this is indeed weird."

Old Mrs. Chen said, twirling his beard with a smile.

Master Chen Si suddenly became nervous.

"I'm going to reject the Liu family right now." He said, "They are staying in the town and waiting."

"Wait a minute, you go to the town to meet them, not to refuse, but to agree to the marriage," Old Mrs. Chen said.

Mr. Chen Si was stunned.

"Silang." Old Mrs. Chen looked at him with a solemn expression, but his eyes could not hide his excitement, "In the future, the Chen family will rely on Shiliu Lang."

Can this marriage improve Shirokuro's future? But since he is a criminal after all, even if he marries an official, he has little chance of restoring the Chen family.

"Silang, do you know who this Liu Kui is?" Old Mrs. Chen said.

"Taizhou..." Mr. Chen Si said, but was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"When your brother was here, he fought with Gao Lingbo for military power in the northwest. Do you still remember the desertion case in the northwest?" Old Mrs. Chen said.

Mr. Chen Si nodded, looking a little sad. The people who had fought with each other finally fought to the death.

"That deserter is the Queen's adopted brother," he said.

"Then Liu Kui was the one who caught the empress's sworn brother and caused this desertion case." Old Mrs. Chen took over his words and said.

It's him!

Mr. Chen Si was shocked!

"Then Liu Kui was also the one who led the people to testify in the Maoyuan Mountain incident to redress the injustice of the Maoyuan Mountain brothers." Mr. Chen continued.

so!

Mr. Chen Si suddenly realized.

"Then. Then him, and the Queen..." He stammered, already having vague thoughts in his mind.

It is well known to the world how much the Empress attaches great importance to these sworn brothers. Naturally, those who have a close relationship with these sworn brothers also...

Could this be...

Looking at the silent old man Chen, Mr. Chen finally became excited.
To be continued...
