The early morning dew slid down the tree and dripped on the lotus leaves in the vat under the tree.
Yunxiang had been guarding the door early, not daring to go in.
It wasn't until there was movement in the room that she dared to say, "Sir, are you up?"
Chen Changsheng in the room paused for a moment, then stood up and went to open the door.
After seeing Yunxiang, he asked: "When did you wait here?"
"Yunxiang has just arrived," Yunxiang said.
Chen Changsheng guessed that she wasn't telling the truth, but he didn't expose her. He just said, "Come in."
But Yunxiang said: "Yunxiang is going to bring water to help Mr. wash up."
"No, Chen has washed it." Chen Changsheng said.
"Sir, when..."
Yunxiang paused for a moment, but when she raised her eyes to look at her husband, there was indeed no unclean spot on his face.
"Sit down." Chen Changsheng said.
Yunxiang saw that the chair was still in the same position as last night. She hesitated and did not dare to sit down.
Chen Changsheng glanced at her and asked, "Don't you dare?"
Yunxiang nodded and said nothing.
Chen Changsheng looked at her and said: "I don't care about poverty or wealth. Chen is penniless, has little knowledge, and has no fame. In fact, he is not much different from you. Fundamentally speaking, we are all mortals."
, no one is more noble than anyone else."
After hearing this, Yunxiang was slightly stunned and asked, "But Yunxiang is just a servant."
"What happened to the servant?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Yunxiang didn't know how to answer.
When she listened to what her husband said, she only understood half of what she was talking about. She seemed to understand only half of it.
Chen Changsheng said: "Sit down and read."
Yunxiang hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then sat down carefully.
Chen Changsheng took out the book from last night again.
"Read on from yesterday."
"good."
Yunxiang flipped through it, found the place where she had read last night, and continued to read.
"Sincerity does not just form oneself, so it forms things. To form oneself, it is benevolence; to form things, it is knowledge. The virtue of nature is also the combination of external and internal principles. Therefore, it is appropriate to take measures at the right time."
"This water, as much as a spoonful, is unforeseen, unforeseen..."
Chen Changsheng reminded: "How can turtles, turtles, dragons, fish, and turtles be born?"
Yunxiang looked at those two words and secretly memorized them.
She said: "Did you, sir, memorize this entire book?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "I didn't remember it."
"Then how come sir..."
Chen Changsheng joked: "I have an extra eye and can see the words in the book."
After hearing this, Yunxiang smiled and said, "Sir, you are joking."
Yunxiang felt that this gentleman was really amazing. From the very beginning, he could pick up any part that she didn't know how to pronounce.
I'm afraid your husband has already memorized this book.
I read it for about half an hour.
Suddenly there was a voice coming from outside.
"Mr. Chen!"
Tang Mingjing walked in from the door and saw Yunxiang sitting reading to her husband. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Yunxiang suddenly felt at a loss, quickly put down the book and stood up.
She lowered her head and called out, "I've seen the young master."
Tang Mingjing glanced at Yunxiang and couldn't help but think about it.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Why are you here so early?"
"Oh." Tang Mingjing came back to his senses and said, "Mingjing has come to invite you to have dinner in the front hall."
"It's time to eat..."
Chen Changsheng nodded and said: "You can continue reading here, and I will continue reading when I come back."
"Yes, sir." Yunxiang agreed.
Tang Mingjing didn't say much, and then called to Mr. Xi: "Sir, please come this way."
Tang Mingjing led his husband to the front hall.
When he left, he looked back at Yun Xiang in the room and didn't know what he had in mind.
After arriving at the front hall, I saw a dazzling array of dishes on the table, and the breakfast alone was extraordinary.
It is indeed a merchant's home, indeed luxurious.
"Mr. Chen, please sit down." Tang Shijie greeted Mr. Chen and sat down.
Apart from the Tang family father and son plus Chen Changsheng, there was no one else at the table.
"Thank you, Mr. Tang, for preparing such a large table of dishes." Chen Changsheng said.
"All simple meals are not worth mentioning."
After sitting down, several people started eating slowly.
After eating for about four to five minutes, we started chatting.
"I heard that Mr. Chen is going to Beijing on this trip?"
"Just walk around casually, maybe I'll go a little further in the end."
"Sir, do you want to travel around the world?"
"It doesn't count." Chen Changsheng said, "I can't travel so many places."
Tang Shijie nodded and said: "Tang has not thanked you for your words to save my son's life before. Now that you have arrived in Yan County, Tang will do your best to be a landlord. If you are not in a hurry, you might as well leave."
How many more days will you stay?”
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng apologized and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang. However, Chen has something to do when he comes out this time. I'm afraid I can't stay here for much longer. If there is another time, I will definitely stay for a few more days."
"Is that so..." Tang Shijie sighed softly and said, "That's really a pity."
After a few pleasantries, Chen Changsheng got down to business.
"Speaking of which, Chen heard my son talk about the jade pendant yesterday. Chen was really curious about the origin of the jade pendant. I wonder if Mr. Tang knows about it?"
"Ding Jing asked me yesterday. I'm afraid I have to ask his grandpa about this."
So after breakfast, Tang Mingjing took him to find his grandfather.
Although the Tang Mansion was large, there were only two generations of father and son in it. The reason was that the family was divided. Although Tang Shijie also wanted to take his grandpa to live with him, his grandpa was not happy, saying that he would not be in the way.
So for so many years, they have lived separately.
Tang Mingjing and his grandfather lived outside the farm. His grandfather used to earn money by digging lotus roots to support the family. Now that he can't go to the pond, he built a house beside the lotus pond and lived there.
Leisure.
"Grandma!"
Tang Mingjing shouted.
"coming."
An old voice came from the house.
"Creak."
The door opened from the inside, and you saw an old man dressed simply, with a stooped figure and gray hair. There was also a piece of lotus embroidery on his chest.
Tangshan looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "This is..."
Tang Mingjing said: "Master, this is Mr. Chen. He has been a life-saver to me. I came to see him to ask about the jade pendant."
Chen Changsheng cupped his hands and said, "Chen came to the door presumptuously. I hope I didn't disturb the old man."
Tangshan waved his hand and said: "No problem, come in."
Several people walked in the door.
Tang Shan walked slowly and asked: "Ming Jing, which jade pendant are you talking about?"
Tang Mingjing took out the jade pendant and gave his grandfather a look.
Unexpectedly, Tangshan was heartbroken after seeing this, and looked at Chen Changsheng.
But he didn't speak for a long time.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Why is the old man looking at Chen?"
Tangshan came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
