Chen Ying knew that in such a situation, it was best to keep silent. However, there are some things that cannot be avoided.
When Gao Wenjin's hand just grabbed Chen Ying's arm, Lan'er took three steps and made two steps, rushed to Chen Ying, and roughly pushed Gao Wenjin away. Stretched out his hand and pointed at Gao Wenjin, his voice was crying: "Who is she?" โ
"Who are they?" Li Daozhen's face became unsightly, and he said coldly: "Your good looks?" โ
Chen Ying's nerves were a little rough, but Lan'er had some strange emotions for him, which he felt. Chen Ying also understands Lan'er, Lan'er was persecuted because of her, and she was worried that Gao Wenjin would rob her of her position, which was normal. However, Li Daozhen's reaction, Chen Ying felt a little inexplicable.
"Her name is Gao Wenjin, and she is my sister I recognize." Chen Ying ignored Li Daozhen, and pulled Gao Wenjin to introduce to Lan'er: "She is also a hard-working person, you are my eldest girl, I have to take more care of Wenjin in the future...... Wait for Lan'er to take Wenjin, Wenxiu and Huaide. I went to the treasury to get some cloth, buy some new clothes, and buy some daily necessities. โ
"Sister Wenjin, what are you missing, don't be polite, sister, I'll buy it for you."
Lan'er grabbed Chen Ying's arm, and looked at Gao Wenjin with a provocative gaze, with a faint threat in her eyes.
It can be said very pertinently that Gao Wenjin is not beautiful, her hair is slightly yellow, her face is sallow, and she has just recovered from an ordinary serious illness. The key is that her cheeks have no flesh, and her eye sockets are deep, the only exception is to raise it slightly, and those eyes like bright jade are looking at Chen Ying intently.
Don't look at Lan'er, who was born in the first year of the Great Cause, and is fifteen years old this year. And Gao Wenjin was indeed born in the second year of Renshou, seventeen years old.
It's just that Lan'er used to follow the Xu family, and the Xu family used to be well-off, and Lan'er was not bad at eating. Therefore, Lan'er's nutrition can keep up with it during her development. However, Gao Wenjin is different, since she was five years old, Gao Ying was killed, and her family property was confiscated, she was displaced with Gao Han's family, originally they left Chang'an with their family, and prepared to return to their hometown in Bohai, but when they walked to Tongguan, there was no entanglement. can only live in Tongguan temporarily, the Gao family just wanted to save enough to return to Bohai, but as time went by, they even had a problem surviving. Therefore, living in a long-term malnourished environment, Gao Wenjin weighed less than seventy pounds, and his height was not as tall as Lan'er.
Lan'er and Gao Wenjin's growth environment is completely different, although Lan'er is a maidservant, but she was loved by Xu Jingzong in the past, and then she was taken care of by Chen Ying, although Lan'er is the body of a maid, it is the life of the young lady. Gao Wenjin has suffered the tragic experience of family destruction and wife separation since she was a child, her mind is more mature than Lan'er, and there is a natural charm between Lan'er's eyebrows, although Lan'er is two years younger than Gao Wenjin, but Lan'er is even more of a young girl.
Gao Wenjin seemed to have determined Lan'er's identity, and after learning that Lan'er was Chen Ying's maid, he also looked at the other party curiously. Seeing that she was so close to Chen Ying and Lan'er, a faint sadness rose in Gao Wenjin's heart.
Li Daozhen saw that Chen Ying was so close to Lan'er, and she was originally furious in her heart, but this anger was not vented.
It's not that Li Daozhen cares too much about the overall situation, but because although Li Daozhen is rude on the outside, she is actually extremely sensitive. Chen Ying took the initiative to put his arm on Lan'er's shoulder, this is not Chen Ying's real intimacy with Lan'er, but to hint to himself in this way that Lan'er or Gao Wenjin are all relatives and sisters by Chen Ying.
From the eyes of Lan'er and Gao Wenjin, Li Daozhen knew that although Chen Ying had no intention, Lan'er and Gao Wenjin had affection for Chen Ying. In the future, I will drive them away from Chen Ying, I am afraid that the two of them will be driven away???
Inadvertently, Li Daozhen looked at Xu Erniang, for Chen Ying's people. Li Daozhen also inquired. This woman who stayed in Chen's Mansion as a cook was a widow. When Xu Erniang saw Chen Ying, her eyebrows and eyes also flashed with joy, but after waiting for a full quarter of an hour, Chen Ying didn't look at her directly, Xu Erniang thought of her identity as a husband who married her husband for the third time, and her heart suddenly changed from joy to coldness, and she became inexplicably sad. Her pretty face, which was as bright as jade, had a gloom that was difficult to hide.
Li Daozhen suddenly had an inexplicable thought in her heart. I'm afraid that even she feels ridiculous to this idea, Chen Ying has the appearance of Pan An, especially Chen Ying's face, for women, it is simply a poison that pierces the intestines.
As Chen Ying's woman, I am afraid that Xu Erniang's today may be her future.
Chen Ying knew that there was something to face, no matter what, he thought about it and decided to face it head-on. Chen Ying walked up to Li Daozhen with a calm face, and bowed down: "Chen Ying greeted the county lord of Baicheng, the county lord Wan An. โ
"Exempt"
Li Daozhen said duplicitously: "My brother is worried about General Chen's health, so I specially ordered Daozhen to visit General Chen on behalf of my brother, and a small gift is not a tribute." โ
After speaking, Li Daozhen didn't care about Chen Ying's reaction and left in a hurry.
Leaving Chen Ying on the spot, he looked confused. He secretly said Li Mochou, what's wrong? The style of painting is wrong!!
In fact, Li Daozhen has already equated with Li Mochou in Chen Ying's heart. Chen Ying hasn't reacted yet, and Li Mochou has secretly promised him.

In the study in the backyard of Hou Mo Chen's house, the study is pitch black, and you can't see your five fingers, Hou Mo Chen Qian will sit on the couch, like a statue.
The footsteps remembered, Hou Mo Chen Qian slowly raised his head, and the door of the study slowly opened.
Yu Qing carried a lantern into the study, and Yu Qing lit up the candlesticks in the study one by one, like a butter candle with the thickness of a child's arm, illuminating the entire study as if it were day. "Ah Lang, Nei Shi Ling Dou Xiangguo is here, asking to see Ah Lang."
"It seems that there are still smart people in the Chai family" Hou Mo Chen Qian shook his head slightly and said: "It's just a pity, although Dou Wei is also considered a high and powerful position, it is not worth making an exception for the old man." โ
"That old slave sent Dou Xiangguo back."
"No, you can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime. Hiding won't solve the problem. Hou Mo Chen Qian said lightly: "Let me open the middle door and welcome Dou Zhangguo." โ
"No."
It didn't take long, and Hou Mo Chen Qian, who was dressed in light clothes, would sit on the main seat in the hall of Hou Mo Chen's mansion.
"You shouldn't come," Hou Mo Chen Qian looked at Dou Weidao, who was slowly entering.
Dou Wei said: "But, I'm still here." โ
Hou Mo Chen Qian said: "How many years have we known each other? โ
"From the second year of the elephant to the Yuan Festival, we met. It's been thirty-nine years now. โ
"yes, it's been almost forty years." Hou Mo Chen Qian said with emotion: "Forty years, I thought it was enough for you to understand me." It seems that you still don't understand me. โ
Dou Wei smiled bitterly: "I owe someone a favor, so ...... Had to come today. โ
Hou Mo Chen Qianhui looked indifferent, slowly got up, took off the scabbard made of crocodile skin from the desk, and slowly pulled out the cold and shining knife. Hou Mo Chen Qian looked at this cold and shining knife very seriously, and Dou Wei's face suddenly looked bad.
"You have a reason why you have to come, and I have a hard time doing what I can't do." Hou Mo Chen Qian will say aloud: "Let me ask you a question"
Dou Wei nodded: "Please speak"
"With the Nine Grades Official Law, what are the grades of my Hou Mo Chen?"
"No one can get a product except for the royal family. Hou Mo Chen's should be a well-deserved second-grade Shangzhongmen. Dou Wei said: "One of the eight great clans." โ
Hou Mo Chen Qianhui said again: "What kind of family is he?" โ
"Upper-middle, reluctantly, to be precise, it should be mid-middle."
Hou Mo Chen Qianhui: "The upper middle is guilty of the upper middle, and the lower is the middle, you admit it." โ
Dou Wei nodded: "Not bad." โ
"You know the family motto of the Hou Mo Chen family."
"Brother Shi, Wei didn't come today."
"But you're still here, I'll give you face, please bring this knife back."
โฆโฆ
Dou Wei walked out of Hou Mochen's mansion with the sword, and Dou Wei said to Yuan Suihu beside him: "You took this knife and cut off Chai Shao's head......"
