Chapter 224: First Release "Brother Cheng, look at him——"...

Outside Jiangyang City, there is the Yuan River.

Green mountains face each other on both sides of the river, and the rice fields by the river are golden. Occasionally, the autumn wind blows by, and waves of soil fragrance linger on everyone's clothes.

"Once the rice turns yellow, the people will be busy again."

As Chen Chuo looked around, the rice surging in the fields looked like golden waves, flowing far away, with no end in sight.

Wen Yu and Song Linsheng stood opposite Shen Chuo, and upon hearing her words, they followed her gaze.

"Yes." Wen Yu nodded, agreeing with Shen Chuo's statement. "It's not just the common people. I'm afraid our Lord Song will be busy too."

After saying that, Wen Yu did not forget to raise her eyebrows and glance at Song Linsheng.

The last time I heard from Lord Mu, it won't be long before the Yuan River reaches its peak flood season, so we have to hurry up and complete the water conservancy works along the river.

Although Lord Xiao Song does not have to harvest rice, he still has to handle official business at the government office.

Song Linsheng looked back at Wen Yu with a faint smile, unable to hold back his laughter. "Yes, thank you for your concern, Xiaoyu."

Wen Yu's eyes froze, and she was stunned for a moment. Then she suddenly stopped smiling and turned away. "You, I..."

In the past, she was the one who teased Song Linsheng, but now, now Song Linsheng is becoming more and more...

Wen Yu pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The two of them were in a stalemate, but Chen Chuo, who had taken in the overall situation, had already laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up. He patted Song Shuangcheng's shoulder and urged:

"Alright, alright, Brother Cheng, the thing I asked you to do last time..."

"It's all settled."

Song Shuangcheng nodded in response, raised his sleeve and took out a stack of bills of unknown origin and handed them to Shen Chuo.

Chen Chuo handed the spear in his arms to Song Shuangcheng, exchanged the bill for it in one hand, and with the other hand, he held Wen Yu and said, "I will also follow my younger brother and call Madam Wen Yu Xiaoyu, okay?"

Wen Yu's gaze originally fell on the back of her hand that was folded with Shen Chuo's. After hearing the words, she followed the source of the voice upwards and was caught off guard by Shen Chuo's pair of bright eyes.

"Sister Chen Chuo." Wen Yu looked up slightly at Chen Chuo, who was much taller than her. "Why ask me? I naturally think it's good."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Chuo's eyes turned into crescents and he smiled happily.

Song Linsheng lowered his eyes and glanced at the bill between Sister Chen Chuo's fingers. After a moment's thought, he understood what it was.

But he didn't say anything, just raised his eyes and glanced at his brother quickly.

Sure enough, his brother would do whatever Sister Shen Chuo said no matter what.

"Okay, okay." Shen Chuo couldn't help shaking Wen Yu's hand from side to side, revealing a rare little girl's demeanor. "Xiao Yu? Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu!"

Shen Chuo called out Wen Yu, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Song Linsheng playfully. This one sentence made her think twice.

These days, every time she heard Xiaosheng call Xiaoyu like this, she wanted to do the same, but unfortunately she never found the opportunity.

Since she is leaving today, she cannot leave any regrets.

As expected, when Song Linsheng heard this and happened to meet Shen Chuo's eyes, his face suddenly turned red.

Xiaoyu didn't know why Sister Shen Chuo was like this, but he knew it clearly.

"Ahem." Song Linsheng coughed lightly and couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his nose, "Sister Chen Chuo..."

Chen Chuo naturally turned a deaf ear to Song Linsheng's calls and continued talking to Wen Yu with a smile.

Wen Yu was a little confused at first, not knowing why Song Linsheng turned away, but Chen Chuo kept talking to her, so she didn't care about anything else in a moment.

Song Linsheng frowned slightly, his cheeks flushed, and after wanting to say something several times, he finally said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Song Shuangcheng, who had been silent on the side, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips. After laughing enough, he spoke lazily, "Acuo, it's better to hand the land deed to Madam Wenyu first."

"Hmm?" Chen Chuo raised his eyebrows in response, as if he had just realized something. "Yes, yes, how could I have forgotten it in the blink of an eye?"

It must be that Xiaoyu is so cute that she can't help but be fascinated by her, let alone the silly Song Er.

Chen Chuo was overjoyed, but her hands did not hesitate. She let go of Wen Yu with one hand, unfolded the stack of bills between her fingers, and held it in front of Wen Yu's eyes.

It is the procedures for house deeds, land deeds, etc.

Wen Yu paused, staring blankly at Chen Chuo, "This is...Sister Chen Chuo..."

Shen Chuo smiled deeply, and suddenly freed a hand to stroke Wen Yu's head——

It's very soft and furry, just like nightshade.

"This is not Sister Chen Chuo, this is the land deed and the house deed." Chen Chuo withdrew his hand, leaned forward slightly and looked at Wen Yu, and couldn't help but joked.

She knew that Xiaoyu didn't mean that, it was just a joke.

Who made Xiaoyu so cute?

Thinking of this, Shen Chuo frowned and glanced at Song Linsheng angrily.

She was originally worried that Xiaosheng would be demoted and leave Shangdu, and that his will would be weakened and he would sink into depravity after taking office as Jiang Yang.

Even though Jiangyang Mansion is my childhood home, it still feels lonely and desolate. I can be said to be all alone and helpless.

After all, those who used to study and play together when they were young have now gone their separate ways.

But now it seems...

Shen Chuo turned his eyes and glanced between Song Linsheng and Wen Yu.

Song Er must be having a very happy time...

Chen Chuo put his thoughts aside, raised his hand and stuffed the stack of receipts into Wen Yu's palm, raised his eyebrows and signaled her to take a closer look.

Wen Yu blinked and looked at Chen Chuo who was so close to her.

Those phoenix eyes are extremely beautiful.

Even though I have been with Sister Shen Chuo day and night these days, I still find her captivating every time I see her.

At Shen Chuo's signal, Wen Yu retracted his gaze and looked down at the bill in his hand -

The signature on it was clearly the street where he met Sister Shen Chuo and Brother Shuang Cheng on the night of Girls' Day, as well as the shops and land deeds on both sides of the street.

"This!" Wen Yu was clear-headed and suddenly understood, "Sister Chen Chuo, this is..."

She remembered the promise that Sister Chen Chuo had made to her that night, saying that she would give her two streets and that Brother Shuang Cheng would also give her two more.

But at the time she had thought it was just a joke. Besides, was it possible that there was business on the street? She didn't know for sure, so she didn't take it to heart.

Besides, after so many years, she had completely forgotten about it.

But in the blink of an eye, what she held in her hands were the land deeds, house deeds, and shop deeds of exactly four streets. Judging from the level of detail, it seemed that even the stone lions at the street corners were not left out.

Wen Yu couldn't help swallowing a few times and was stunned and speechless.

She was no ordinary person, and gold and silver were merely external possessions to her. However, it would be unbelievable if she said she was not tempted when she suddenly gained so much wealth.

Song Linsheng lowered his eyes and chuckled. He knew that since Sister Chen Chuo could say it, his brother would be able to do it.

It was within his expectations.

"This is what I promised to give you." Chen Chuo held down Wen Yu's hand and winked at her, "Don't refuse."

After saying that, Chen Chuo glanced at Song Linsheng meaningfully, but smiled without saying anything.

She didn't know when I was going to cut down the camphor tree as my dowry, and she couldn't guess for sure.

But she and Cheng Ge have to prepare the dowry for Xiaosheng in advance and hand it over to Xiaoyu as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if he keeps procrastinating, who knows when it will be delayed. The current situation is unstable and unpredictable, and we don’t know what kind of turbulent waves are surging under the calm lake. It is better to settle down as soon as possible.

Chen Chuo stood up straight, lowered his head and looked at Wen Yu staring at the land deed in his hand in a daze, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips where Wen Yu couldn't see.

Since Xiaoyu has accepted the dowry from her family, she is not allowed to deny it in the future.

A triumphant smile lingered on Shen Chuo's lips, revealing an indescribable cunning.

Song Shuangcheng, who was standing by, couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he saw this and chimed in, "I should have given it to Madam Wenyu a long time ago, but cleaning up the shop took some time, and Ah Chuo insisted on handing it over to you personally today, so I've been delayed. I hope you won't blame me."

His words were so sincere that it made people feel a little embarrassed. Moreover, he was the one who gave the gift, and it was such a generous gift...

Wen Yu was immediately flustered. Holding the title deed in her hands, she didn't know what to do and subconsciously wanted to return it.

She was moved, but it was only a momentary attraction.

It was useless for her to keep this thing. Right now, Song Linsheng was taking care of her food, clothing, and daily expenses, and in the future...

She will eventually go to the Temple of Rejuvenation in the future, so why would she need these?

"Sister Chen Chuo, Brother." Wen Yu's eyes swept back and forth between the two of them, feeling a bit embarrassed. "This is too valuable, I can't accept it..."

"Hey—" Chen Chuo pretended to be angry and pointed a finger at Wen Yu's eyebrows. "Since you call me sister and brother, Brother Cheng and I really treat you as our own little sister."

Little sister... and sister-in-law, shouldn't they be much different? Shen Chuo thought to himself.

"They are just some worthless things." Chen Chuo withdrew his hand, but turned around and patted Wen Yu's head. "Little sister, please don't be polite with Sister Chen Chuo, okay?"

Wen Yuxing's eyes were wide open, full of hesitation.

She discovered that whether it was Sister Chen Chuo, Brother Shuang Cheng, or Song Linsheng, they always liked to use words like "okay" when speaking, intentionally or unintentionally.

It was clearly words used to coax a child, but it seemed to have some kind of magic that made people want to agree.

No wonder Song Linsheng said that the three of them grew up together, and even the words they spoke were so similar.

"I..." Wen Yu couldn't say no, but she didn't want to refuse Sister Chen Chuo's kindness. "Sister, brother, I..."

Just when they were in a dilemma, a hand as slender and white as jade appeared between Wen Yu and Shen Chuo.

Song Linsheng raised his hands, held Wen Yu's hands, and pressed down the land deed she was holding. Although the action was done in one go, it was still careful and meticulous.

"Xiaoyu." Song Linsheng's eyebrows softened, and his voice was like ripples of water, gradually enveloping Wen Yu. "Since Sister Chen Chuo said so, why don't you accept it, okay?"

here we go again……

Wen Yu frowned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. What did she say?

After Song Linsheng finished speaking, without waiting for Wen Yu to respond, he frowned and thought for a moment, then immediately suggested:

"Don't you really like the candied haws on that street? How about we open up shops selling candied haws all over that street?"

Wen Yu's eyebrows moved. Isn't this a good thing?

"Pfft..." Wen Yu was about to speak, but laughed out loud first. "No big deal, no big deal! Who would open a whole street full of candied haws shops?"

As she spoke, Wen Yu raised her hand and hit Song Linsheng on the shoulder. She couldn't help laughing and joking with him, and put the matter of returning the land deed out of her mind.

Song Linsheng's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Sister Chen Chuo and his own brother, then lowered his head to discuss with Wen Yu.

"No, but there will be one soon."

"Song Linsheng!" Wen Yu increased the strength in her grip and feigned anger, "What are you talking about? Can't I open a clothing store or a weaving workshop?"

How could she be so greedy?

"Okay, okay, all good." Facing Wen Yu's beating, Song Linsheng did not dodge or evade, and even leaned forward slightly to save her some energy. "Xiaoyu, you can think about what kind of shop you want to open later. Linsheng will definitely accompany you."

"Hmph! No!" Wen Yu turned away, holding the deed, but couldn't help but smile. "If there's anything I don't understand, I'll naturally ask Uncle Song and Xi Yan."

"Uncle Song has to look after Song Yuan and Song Zhu, and he's been spending the whole day washing inkstones with Miss Yingying." Song Linsheng continued to lean forward, gently coaxing, "As for me, I'm the most suitable person compared to the other two."

Song Linsheng was neither anxious nor annoyed, but his smile deepened. While he was circling around and coaxing Wen Yu to talk, he glanced at Sister Chen Chuo and his brother inconspicuously.

Chen Chuo raised his eyebrows and immediately understood.

She turned and looked at Song Shuangcheng beside her, and they both saw a look of understanding in each other's eyes.

Song Er was clearly feeling proud, his eyes seemed to be saying that he was the only one who could coax Wen Yu with just a few words, while she, Shen Chuo, and Song Shuangcheng were far behind!

Chen Chuo shrugged. She used to think that Song Shuangcheng was a black-hearted lotus, but his younger brother Song Linsheng was the opposite of him, as pure as the jasmine planted in the greenhouse.

Now it seems that is not entirely true.

The more Chen Chuo thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. No wonder they were brothers?

"Brother Cheng, look at him——"
