Daughter's favorite concubine: Don't come here, the black-bellied prince

Chapter 45 Brother-in-law
The four words "son of an old friend" that Zhao Dan'e said made Xinmeng instantly think of Chen Xingzhou, and then thought of Xiao Lang telling her that the person who was plotted with Shen Yunluo was Chen Xingzhou when he attended the running water banquet in the prime minister's mansion.

Sure enough, Zhao Dan'e quickly confirmed Xinmeng's guess: "Chen Huo, the pacifier of Jiangnan Road, was the same year as your father. I sent an invitation letter and said that I was going to visit the general's mansion at the order of my father. Since I was not feeling well and you were not in the mansion, I wrote back and asked him to come back in a few days. Now that you are back, you might as well Invite him to be a guest in the mansion in your name, and do your father's favor as a landlord."

"Yes, mother." Xin Meng readily agreed.She also wanted to see who Chen Xingzhou was.In the previous life, Shen Yunluo belonged to a distant marriage, and the wedding was held at her husband's house. She had never met this brother-in-law.

After receiving the greeting card from Zhao Dan'e, Xinmeng hastily read it.It turned out that Chen Xingzhou came this time to escort tribute to Beijing for his father, so he temporarily stayed in the official post house in the capital.

After returning to Fuyun Courtyard, Xinmeng wrote an invitation card with her own handwriting, and according to her mother's instructions, she invited Chen Xingzhou to visit the General's Mansion in her own name.

I found a young man to send the invitation to the post office, and when the messenger came back, he brought Chen Xingzhou's reply. In the post, we chatted a few words. The handwriting was correct, the words were concise, and there was no fancy rhetoric, expressing the joy of receiving the invitation. and promise to be on time for the appointment.

Because of this, Xinmeng had a good impression of him. When Chen Xingzhou came to visit him, he took a closer look and found that he was a strong man in his early 20s, with a medium build and a good appearance. He was not as good as the Seventh Prince, but he was by no means worthy. Not Shen Yunluo.

Thinking of Shen Yunluo's dominance in her husband's house in the previous life, and forced death of several concubines without being dismissed, it must not only be because of Shen Ji's powerful relationship, but also Chen Xingzhou's affection for Shen Yunluo.It is her blessing that Shen Yunluo is able to marry Chen Xingzhou. If it were Xiao Yi, it can be predicted that the ending will be tragic.

"Brother Chen Shi, this is Xinmeng's younger sister Yunluo." Xinmeng was tempted, and asked someone to call Shen Yunluo over to receive Chen Xingzhou together. Sure enough, when Chen Xingzhou saw Shen Yunluo, his eyes lit up, and there was a little more interest in his eyes.

"Sister Yunluo, Xingzhou is being polite." Chen Xingzhou was respectful and polite, staring at Shen Yunluo's pretty face with burning eyes, refusing to move away.

It's a pity that Shen Yunluo now puts all her heart on the Seventh Prince, and lacks interest in this so-called elder brother. After returning the gift, she doesn't speak much, and she is even a little displeased with Chen Xingzhou's gaze.

Chen Xingzhou didn't care about being left out in the cold, and diligently found a topic to get Shen Yunluo to talk.Seeing that the Shen family sisters came from the family of military generals, he must have practiced martial arts. He thought that talking about martial arts-related topics could bring him closer to Shen Yunluo, so he chose to talk about interesting things in the world.

Unfortunately, Shen Ji never let his three daughters practice martial arts.This is undoubtedly tantamount to flattering on the horse's legs, thankless.

Shen Xinmeng maintained a decent smile.But Shen Yunluo looked impatient, and her face became more and more ugly. When Chen Xingzhou was talking about his excitement, he suddenly interrupted him who was in high spirits: "Mr. Chen, Yunluo still wants to practice the piano, so I won't accompany you, goodbye! "Turning back to Xinmeng, he said, "Your elder sister greets Mr. Chen, and my younger sister will leave!"

The start was not good, Xinmeng couldn't help feeling sorry for Chen Xingzhou, wasting a great opportunity to please Shen Yunluo in vain.

Chen Xingzhou looked embarrassed, and followed the slender figure that was fading away reluctantly. He turned his head until he couldn't see it, and suddenly met Xin Meng's eyes with interest, and immediately said with a sneer: "I seem to be bored to Yunluo sister."

She smiled slightly, but Xin Meng didn't speak.If he had had this kind of understanding long ago, he would not be unable to keep Shen Yunluo.

"She called me Mr. Chen." Chen Xingzhou said helplessly, feeling frustrated.

Xinmeng was stunned for a moment, and after she realized it, she comforted him and said, "It's inevitable that younger sister and brother Chen feel a little unfamiliar when they meet for the first time. It's just a title, it doesn't mean anything, brother don't need to worry about it."

"Then I'm relieved." Chen Xingzhou nodded, and suddenly asked, "Is there anyone you like, sister Yunluo?"

It seems that he fell in love with Shen Yunluo at first sight.She really wanted to help him achieve this beautiful thing, but Shen Yunluo hadn't given up on the Seventh Prince yet, and she definitely didn't want to choose a son who was far inferior to the Seventh Prince's economic pacifier, and he was also a person without fame.

Staring at Chen Xingzhou silently for a moment, until his expression showed a hint of coyness, Xin Meng said concisely: "My sister is not engaged yet."

Not yet engaged means he has a chance, right?Chen Xingzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not realizing that Xinmeng's words did not answer his question directly, Guozi's face was full of smiles: "Sister Xinmeng, I like Lingmei, please say something nice to me in front of her." , okay?" He came from a family of military generals, unlike a literati who pretends to be high-minded, whether he acts or speaks, he is too direct, without any detours.

Xinmeng was a little unaccustomed to it, thinking that he was so honest and had no city mansion at all, how could he restrain Shen Yunluo?It's no wonder that Shen Yunluo in the previous life made the Chen family run wild and the house was restless.

"It's my good fortune to gain the trust of my elder brother, and please ask me for such an important matter. When I find the opportunity, I will definitely say a few words for my elder brother." Xin thought about it, and decided to encourage him, which also gave him a feeling. Prepared, so he said sincerely, "Brother Shi's character, I can trust you, and I really hope you can become my brother-in-law. However, my sister has been pampered since she was a child. I hope my elder brother can forgive me a lot.”

Chen Xingzhou blushed because of the word "brother-in-law", and quickly swore: "If I can marry Sister Yunluo as my wife, I will only pamper her, protect her, and will not bully her, let alone let others bully her." If she breaks this oath, the sky will be struck by lightning."

When swearing by pointing at the sky with three fingers, Chen Xingzhou looked serious and his eyes were sincere.A few simple words came from the heart, neither perfunctory words nor false promises.

Xinmeng's heart, which she thought had become invulnerable, was also moved a little.She couldn't help thinking that in the previous life, Shen Ji must have heard what Chen Xingzhou said before deciding to marry Shen Yunluo to Chen Xingzhou.

Otherwise, with his love for Shen Yunluo, coupled with his powerful power at that time, and having a prostitute who is a concubine, Shen Ji can definitely choose a better marriage for Shen Yunluo.Even if she is limited by her status as a concubine and cannot marry the prince and the eldest son, there are still princes for her to choose from.
