Chapter 46

Zhou Wenqian was fidgeting in the lotus garden. It had been many days, and Cai Qi hadn't come yet. He was here alone, eating the dry food he brought from home. It was too boring at night, so he regretted coming here.At that time, he came here because it was quiet, and he and Tang Qinglu could have a good chat.Ever since he came home from the Tang family that time, he happened to run into Master Zhou. He was severely scolded by Master Zhou, saying that he was ignorant, how could he ruin a girl's reputation at will.He didn't dare to go to the Tang's house anymore. After waiting for many days, he couldn't see Tang Qinglu, so he was anxious.

Cai Qi didn't appear in front of Zhou Wenqian until late in the evening. Zhou Wenqian saw him panting and knew that he had come running directly. It's not that there is no horse at home, or even a carriage.

"Cai Qi, how is it?" Zhou Wenqian stood up as usual.

Cai Qi paused for a long time, and when Zhou Wenqian's patience was exhausted, he said, "Master, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"

"Two." Zhou Wenqian didn't even think about it.

"Then let me tell you the good news. Miss Qinglu has come out. You can see her in the future without going to Tang's house." Cai Qi was very calm. Even if Zhou Wenqian wanted to hear the bad news first, he would first Tell the good news.

"Great, hey, why don't you go and bring her? Look, I've finished drawing her portrait, and I'm waiting for her to judge." Zhou Wenqian pointed to the portrait on the table, Tang Qinglu pointed at it Lotus smiled and looked very beautiful.

Cai Qi sighed.Zhou Wenqian felt that something must have happened, he grabbed Cai Qi's shoulder and shook it, "Speak up." He thought to himself that Qinglu must be fine!
"The bad news is that as soon as Miss Tang left the Tang family, she was stopped by a handsome young man. They seemed to know each other very well and left talking and laughing." Cai Qi said eagerly.

"What?" Zhou Wenqian was stunned, he was a little confused, "With whom?"

"I inquired about it when I came, and that person's name is Chen Jiayang!" Cai Qi was very proud.

"Chen Jiayang?" Zhou Wenqian frowned, could it be?
"I'm smart!" Cai Qi was very happy, "Fortunately, I kept a hand. I asked a lot of people, and there are many things I don't know. I finally asked."

"Teacher Chen Jiayang from Taiyuan Academy!" Zhou Wenqian sat down on the chair and said again, "Teacher Chen Jiayang from Taiyuan Academy!"

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Cai Qi was puzzled.

Zhou Wenqian recalled those years in the capital, he and Chen Jiayang were often together, but Chen Jiayang was very knowledgeable and liked by the Taifu. After being recommended by the Taifu many times, Chen Jiayang became the youngest teacher of the Taiyuan Academy.

Before Zhou Wenqian went home, Chen Jiayang practiced it for him.

"Brother Zhou, after you go home, you must not mention to anyone that I have served as a teacher of the Taiyuan Academy!" Chen Jiayang confessed.

"Why? Everyone should know about the glorious ancestors!" Zhou Wenqian didn't understand.

"I don't want to say it!" Chen Jiayang said, with loneliness in his eyes.

"Young master, young master, don't scare Cai Qi!" Cai Qi shook Zhou Wenqian.

"When did Brother Chen come back? How did he know Qinglu?" Zhou Wenqian asked.

"Brother Chen?" Cai Qi seemed to have thought of something, and his reaction was delayed, "Young Master, that Brother Chen you met in the capital?"

"That's him!" Zhou Wenqian nodded.

Cai Qi went to the capital with Zhou Wenqian, and Zhou Wenqian often left Cai Qi alone to meet Chen Jiayang, which was requested by Chen Jiayang.Chen Jiayang believes that Zhou Wenqian can keep the secret for him, but he doesn't believe that Cai Qi can do it.Zhou Wenqian also didn't want Cai Qi to always follow him and complain to his parents after returning home.Due to various reasons, Cai Qi had never met Chen Jiayang, and did not know that the "Brother Chen" Zhou Wenqian was referring to was Chen Jiayang.

"If he is a lesson from the Imperial College, I think he likes Miss Tang so much. If Miss Tang likes him too, you have no chance, young master." Cai Qi threw cold water at an inopportune time, but he was telling the truth.

Zhou Wenqian sat slumped on the chair, and suddenly jumped up, "No, I finally met such a good woman as Qinglu, how could I let others snatch her away? Cai Qi, pack your things, let's go back to charcoal right away." Pingxian, I'm going to see Qinglu tonight, and I must tell her that no one in this world is more suitable for her than me, Zhou Wenqian."

"The city gate is closed!" Cai Qi said.

"Is it related to me that the city gate is closed?" Zhou Wenqian asked back, he can climb the wall, what is he afraid of.

"Heideng is blind, it's terrible!" Cai Qi shuddered and complained, "It's a little distance from Tanping County, I can't run anymore, we can only walk back, it will take a long time, I I don’t want to be left by you to feed mosquitoes on that pile of grass.”

Zhou Wenqian was annoyed, so he dropped Cai Qi and left.Cai Qile was at ease, lying in his exclusive position and fell asleep.

Zhou Wenqian flew all the way back to Tanping County, just outside the gate of the Tang Mansion, he saw Chen Jiayang standing outside looking up at the inside.

Should I go to see Qinglu first or Brother Chen first?Zhou Wenqian was conflicted.However, he ultimately chose to hide and watch.

Chen Jiayang looked at the Tang Mansion and sighed softly, "Qinglu, you are the one I can't reach!"

The Chen family valued profits, and he was afraid that Tang Qinglu would be used by his elder brother as a springboard to get acquainted with the Lin family, so he didn't dare to reveal his heart.He was a member of the Chen family, and he was most afraid that he would not be able to shirk responsibility and protect Tang Qinglu from harm.

Isn't his sister-in-law the best example?
Chen Zhongxi's wife is an only daughter from another county, and her family is well-off. Chen Zhongxi met him when he went there to play. After Chen Zhongxi inquired about her family situation, he began to approach her, asking her how she was, without stopping for a moment.

After Chen Zhongxi married her back home, her father-in-law's family provided a lot of help. Unexpectedly, after a few years, her father-in-law's family was dilapidated, and Chen Zhongxi went to visit her, but did not give any real help.His wife finally recognized the faces of the Chen family, and stayed in her yard and never came out again.

When Chen Jiayang recalled this, he looked lonely. In order to help the Chen family prosper, he inquired about the salt industry against his will, and met a salt merchant from it. After getting to know him a little bit, that person was willing to come to Tanping County after a while Meet with Chen Zhongxi to discuss the development prospects of the salt industry in Tanping County.He didn't tell Chen Zhongxi about this, and he also told the salt merchant not to mention him.As for whether Chen Zhongxi ended up in the salt business, he didn't know.

"Jiayang, you are too young. My teacher was afraid that you would be attacked by some forces in the court, so I asked the emperor for a three-year vacation for you. Today, three years later, you will come back to work. The emperor takes pity on talents. You have been here for three years. Here, you still have a salary of five taels of silver per month, and I am optimistic about you." The Taifu's words are vivid in his memory, which is one of the reasons why he came back to Tanping County.

He thought that if he didn't look for Tang Qinglu after he came back, he would be able to forget her, but when he heard that Tang Qinglu was disturbed by Chen Bopi, he was so angry. When he saw her today, her smiles and frowns bothered him so much. Heart, the longing that he had suppressed with great difficulty, spewed out like a flood.

In this life, I'm afraid I can't escape the barrier of emotion.

"Jiayang, you must pursue what you love in this life, otherwise you will have regrets." This is what Chen Erdong said to him during dinner. He didn't notice that Chen Erdong said this because of Mrs. Chen and Chen Zhongxi. Due to the guilt of the past, Chen Huhu was embarrassed from the beginning to the end.

He suddenly understood that he wanted to fight hard. If God loves him and he marries Tang Qinglu, he will take her to the capital and leave the place where the Chen family is full of greed.He couldn't sleep all night, so he just came here, and he felt a little peace of mind when he got here.
