"No!" Chen Rong blurted out. She thought of the heroine's decisive character and torture methods and some toothache.

She is not a cannon fodder female supporting role, cherishes her life and stays away from the male protagonist. She can squander her wealth and spends money on her family business, so why bother to seek death?

Chen Youwu looked at Chen Rong, who looked not very good-looking, and felt a little relieved. His daughter's vision was indeed high.

Seeing Chen Rong looking at home, Zhang Shaochu slapped the table and stood up, sneering: "You don't agree, I won't agree yet!"

The people who wanted to marry him were able to line up from here to outside the city, so he looked down on this woman who only knew money, and was vulgar!

Chen Rong also knew that he had been overreacting, so he cleared his throat awkwardly and said in a deep voice: "When I was a child, a master said that I had a fate in my life, so I must not delay Brother Zhang. Brother Zhang is both literary, martial, and wise and brave, and it is worth meeting a better person."

These words were said decently and thoughtfully, and the Zhang family would not be too angry. Only Zhang Shaohan left without looking back.

Chen Wenshu smiled and said in a gentle voice: "My sister is still young, so there is no need to worry about marriage."

Chen Rong looked at Chen Wenshu with his chin and said, "That brother is not young anymore. Is there any woman he likes?"

After getting along with Chen Wenshu for a few years, she felt that this brother was full of knowledge and talent and appearance, not worse than Zhang Shaochu. It was a waste of resources to live alone.

Gu also smiled: "In a few days, the winter banquet will last, let your brother go and play with it, and see which girl is so attractive."

"Yes, yes, just tell me, I'll help you get into trouble... Cough cough, help you get to know each other." Chen Rong turned the conversation in time, which made Chen Wenshu laugh and cry.

Changzhijie was held in the prefect's office. Chen Rong knew that Xu Yiru would go, so he took a sandalwood box with the palace fan. He stayed up late the night before to settle the bill, and he was dozing all the way and arrived soon.

The winter banquets are usually divided into two venues. The adults in the inner hall drink tea and the outer hall are arranged for unmarried teenagers to play, which is also a chance to get out of singleness.

"Rongrong, here." Qiao Tongzi, the daughter of the prefect, looked happy when she saw Chen Rong waved her hand.

When Chen Rong saw Qiao Tongzi, he decisively abandoned his brother. Qiao Tongzi was one of her few friends. This person was devoted to studying military tactics and had great ambitions. Chen Rong admired it very much.

Qiao Tongzi handed Chen Rong the stove in her hand and pulled her to the room to sit: "You have darkened your eyes, are you busy with business again recently?"

"Yes." Chen Rong sighed, quite deep: "I always feel that I am not rich enough and I am sad."

Qiao Tongzi laughed: "Are you rich?"

"There is no richest, only richer. Only by constantly pursuing excellence can people make progress." Chen Rong shook her head. She could play and play before, but now she can't do this anymore. After all, she still has to raise Xu Yiru. Such a beautiful girl naturally needs to be raised by wealth.

Qiao Tongzi was too lazy to see her mature appearance, and said excitedly: "I got a book on military strategy a few days ago. The military strategy in it is very weird. Come and take a look."

Chen Rong has few friends, and Qiao Tongzi has even fewer. After all, there are really few women who can talk about military tactics with her.

The prefect's mansion planted many plum trees. At this time, the red plums had already been budged and covered with silver. It was particularly charming in the snowy days. The snow on the road had been swept away, and only the snow in the plum garden still maintained its original appearance.

Xu Yiru followed her cousins ​​to the backyard to enjoy the plum blossoms. She was a little absent-minded. She didn't like the excitement at all, and...

The woman in the head of the goose-yellow dress is the daughter of the Lin family. She looks down on Xu Yiru very much and turns back and says, "I heard that Yiru is a talented woman, who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. How about it, why not play a song to help you liven up?"

"I want to hear it too, sister, don't refuse."

Others responded one after another.

The snowy and ice are already cold, and people are playing the piano outside to make fun of it. It is already a difficult thing for people to make people feel uncomfortable. Xu Yiru lowered her head and held her hand tightly under her sleeve. She has also seen how snobbish her uncle's family is in the past few days.

She endured it and smiled reluctantly, "Yiru didn't bring the piano here."

"That's easy to do, go and borrow Miss Qiao's piano." Lin Yue'e raised her chin and ordered the maid beside her, sneering: "Let's also hear how talented women's piano skills are."

The word "Talented Girl" is meaningful.

Like Chen Rong, Qiao Tongzi doesn't like these pianos. She put a good Jiaowei zither in the study and fell into dust. Someone came to borrow it and gave it to her generously.

"Whose maid just said it belongs to?" Chen Rong held a chess piece and did not fall down for a long time.

Qiao Tongzi was stunned: "Lin family."

Chen Rong thought about it and said that the girls from the Lin family were very angry. He didn't know how to treat her little ancestors. After thinking about it, how could he have the heart to play chess?

Chen Rong quickly put the chess piece into the jade basket and got off the warm couch: "I have to go and take a look."

Qiao Tongzi felt inexplicably: "Wait, it's cold outside, take the stove and go out."

After asking, Chen Rong found out that everyone was in Meiyuan. He found a maid to lead the way. As soon as he passed the Hanging Flower Arch, he heard a sound of piano like heaven.

"I didn't see that Sister Xu's piano was playing so well." A male voice sounded, and he exclaimed in his tone, "If you can marry like this, it would be a blessing in life."

When Chen Rong saw it, he realized that this was not Zhang Shaochu? Sister Xu? Chen Rong snorted coldly in his heart. Your skillful tone is not afraid of biting your tongue!

"Get married like this? Dream about you!" Chen Rong couldn't help but say what he said in his heart. Her little ancestor must never let Zhang Shaochu's big pig's hooves harm him.

Seeing Zhang Shaochu glaring, she glared back without being to be outdone. She used to not treat Zhang Shaochu as her opponent, but now she has to think about it.

However, just because Zhang Shaochu praised so lightly, many women's faces became tense. Lin Yue'e was naturally the one with the ugly face.

"I'm done playing." Xu Yiru sat up from the stone bench, her long hair covering her side face, making people unable to see clearly. She was still a white long skirt, her long hair was like a waterfall, and her figure was slender.

——The lotus comes out of clear water and is naturally decorated.

Lin Yue'e said, "My cousin plays so well, it's really unpleasant to listen to it. Why not play another song? I believe everyone wants to listen to it too?"

The Lin family naturally helped watch the fun.

"Yeah yeah."

Chen Rong saw that Xu Yiru's hands pressed on the strings were red from the cold. He was a little angry and walked out of the crowd, "This is a long festival, not a festival. Do you want to listen to it and can't play it yourself? Could it be that Miss Lin's hands are not clever?"

Everyone was stunned when they looked at the beautiful girl in red. Isn’t this Miss Chen? I guess no one here doesn’t know her.

"It's such a cold day, letting the little girl get frozen for you to have fun." Chen Rong looked at Lin Yue'e with a smile: "I think you're thinking pretty."

Lin Yue'e's face changed: "Miss Chen, what do you mean?"

Others also knew that Lin Yue'e was deliberately making things difficult for Xu Yiru, but no one meddled with other people's houses' affairs, and this was not a rare thing in the houses.

However, it is really unexpected that Miss Chen never interacts with them, and she actually protects a cousin lady from the Lin family.

Chen Rong snorted coldly: "I just can't stand you, how about it?"

Lin Yue'e bit her lip, naturally... not what!

"Hmph, let's go!" Lin Yue'e was so angry that she took those people away from Meiyuan.

"Miss Chen is really so powerful." Zhang Shaochu's good mood was completely destroyed by Chen Rong. He really couldn't understand why this woman was fighting with him like this.

Chen Rong didn't even look at Zhang Shaochu, and ran over and held Xu Yiru's hand in distress to ask about his well-being. Zhang Shaochu was so angry that he rolled his eyes and left.

This woman really doesn't know what's wrong!

"Are you okay? Is it cold?" Chen Rong stuffed the stove to Xu Yiru, touching her hands cold, and felt very caring, "Your sister is really too much."

Xu Yiru looked at Chen Rong's frowning look and couldn't help but smile: "It's nothing. I didn't see you before, but I didn't expect Miss Chen to come today."

"I was in the house." Chen Rong felt that his hatred of evil was vaguely causing trouble, so he patted Xu Yiru on the shoulder, Wan solemnly: "If someone bullies you in the future, you can tell me, I'll vent your anger."

Later, someone ruthlessly exposed Chen Rong. This is not called jealous of evil, but about protecting his shortcomings...

Xu Yiru was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while. When she reacted, her cold little hand was already held by a warm hand. She looked at the girl walking in front of her and felt something relaxed.

"Miss Chen, thank you."

"Just call me a name directly, it's so unfamiliar."

Xu Yiru lowered her eyes, held the warmer's hand slowly clasped it, and whispered: "Arong."

Qiao Tongzi was in a daze at the chessboard when suddenly a footstep sounded. When she turned around, she saw Chen Rong leading a beautiful girl in and exclaimed, "What is this sister?"

Xu Yiru was thinking about how to speak, but Chen Rong took the lead.

"This is Sister Xu, Xu Yiru, I am very close to me, I like it very much." Chen Rong pulled Xu Yiru down, "What kind of pastries do my sister like to eat? I'll ask someone to bring it up."

Qiao Tongzi looked like a fool, and her scalp was numb: "Hehe, I'm not well served. You guys sit down first. I'll go out and ask the servants to bring some fruits."

Xu Yiru originally wanted to say that there was no need, but Qiao Tongzi was already out in a hurry and took a look at the chessboard: "A Ronggang and Miss Qiao are playing chess?"

Chen Rong nodded, quite distressed: "But I am not good at chess skills and lose miserably every time."

In the past, she was just a snatcher, but fortunately Qiao Tongzi was also 8 taels in a radius. The two of them were playing chess and didn't care about any rules at all, which was quite fun.

Xu Yiru's fair and beautiful hand picked up a white piece and landed it on the chessboard. He smiled at Chen Rong Zhanyan: "This will make a win."

Chen Rong looked at her smiling face and followed her with joy, looking like a chessboard. Although she didn't understand why she was a winner, she still spoke happily, "Good chess and good chess."

Qiao Tongzi came back and saw it, and was shocked: "I actually let you take this step. I will study how to kill you without leaving any remaining pieces."

She studied it for a long time and found that no matter how hard she got, she lost, and she was a little uneasy.
