When Shen Yue arrived at the Duke's Mansion, Shen Qiu and Ye Chen were waiting at the gate. As it was getting late and the weather was still very cold, Shen Qiu was worried about Shen Yue, and Ye Chen felt sorry for Shen Qiu.
Ye Chen is now becoming more and more dissatisfied with Shen Yue, thinking that it is because of him that his Qiu'er has suffered this kind of suffering.
"Here they come!" someone suddenly shouted.
When Chen Qiu looked at the intersection, he saw a group of people leading horses coming towards him.
Chen Qiu went down the steps to meet him. Ye Chen shouted anxiously from behind: "Slow down, isn't he coming?"
Shen Yue let go of the horse and hurried to Shen Qiu's side, scolding him, "Why are you running so fast?"
Chen Qiu blushed and asked Chen Yue with a smile: "Shouldn't it arrive before the Lantern Festival? Why did it arrive only now? Did something happen on the way?"
Chen Yue glanced at Ye Chen and said, "Someone asked me to help with something, so I was delayed on the way."
Ye Chen pretended not to hear, put his arm around Chen Qiu's waist, and secretly pulled her towards him, but he didn't dare to use force.
Shen Yue was originally holding Shen Qiu's hand, but seeing Ye Chen's expression, she let go of Shen Qiu and looked directly at Ye Chen, "Brother-in-law, I'm not trying to steal Qiu'er, so you don't have to protect me so tightly, right?"
Ye Chen snorted, "That's not necessarily true. Some people haven't come yet. Qiu'er has been talking about it every day, but she hasn't come today. Qiu'er has been waiting in this cold wind for almost an hour."
When Shen Yue heard that Shen Qiu had been waiting outside for an hour, she felt sorry for Shen Qiu. "Is your brother still worried? He has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, how could he be in trouble?"
Chen Qiu smiled and said, "It's not that I'm worried, I just want to see you sooner. It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time."
As they were talking, they had already arrived in the yard. Ye Chen asked the housekeeper to arrange for the guards to accompany Shen Yue.
"By the way, this is a war horse, and it uses the best fodder." Chen Yue went and came back.
"Yes," the butler replied with a smile.
They went straight back to Qiuchen Courtyard.
"Grandpa and grandma are about to rest, let's go tomorrow." Shen Qiu stroked her belly with one hand while talking to Shen Yue.
"Brother, you can stay at my place for the time being while you're back. Just go back and visit the General's Mansion."
Speaking of the General's Mansion, the brother and sister sighed. Shen Yue was not there at the time, but she was also shocked when she heard her grandparents say that. She never expected that her home would become a den of thieves.
Shen Yue handed Shen Qiu a letter, "My parents asked me to bring this back. Mom wanted to come back, but Dad and Grandpa and Grandma are here, so she can't leave."
Chen Qiu took the letter and smiled, "I know, you're back, aren't you? It's the same as having you here."
When Chen Yue's letter was received, Chen Qiu had someone clean out a yard so they could move in directly.
As soon as Shen Yue left, Shen Qiu and Ye Chen returned to the bedroom. Shen Qiu was about to read the letter when Ye Chen poured her a cup of hot water. "You've been standing outside for so long. Drink a cup of hot water to warm yourself up first."
After watching Chen Qiu finish drinking the hot water, Ye Chen looked at Chen Qiu seriously, "Qiu'er, I've been here too."
Chen Qiu was a little confused by what Ye Chen said, and then he realized that this was what he was thinking about?
Chen Qiu put down the letter, then raised his hands to hold Ye Chen's face, "Are you jealous of this?"
"I know, you're always here. My husband is the best, okay?"
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "No, I am the best. Qiu'er, give me a kiss." This person is really... Why does he want a kiss when he is jealous?
Chen Qiu squeezed Ye Chen's face hard, pouting his mouth, and then kissed him, but only lightly, and then let go of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen didn't want to force it, so he just stood there motionless. Chen Qiu ignored him and opened the letter to read it.
"Such a thick letter. I guess my mother wrote several pages of it." Chen Qiu muttered as he opened the letter.
Ye Chen had no choice but to lean over and read the letter with Ye Chenqiu. Chenqiu guessed correctly. Of the ten pages of letter paper, only one was from her father, and the rest were from her mother.
First, he gave Shen Qiu some instructions, covering everything from diet and daily life to taking care of children.
The last one is about Shen Qiu’s brother Shen Yue, but the content is an instruction to Shen Qiu.
There was only one thing, which was to ask Chen Qiu to help her brother find a girl in Kyoto. Her mother in the northwest was also looking for one, but her brother had always disagreed. Now that Shen Yue had returned to Kyoto, her mother had to look for one first and then make plans after he returned.
If there is a suitable family in Kyoto, and Chen Yue happens to be back, they can meet directly. It depends on whether the girl is willing to go to the northwest with him.
Chen Qiu looked at the contents of the last letter, feeling somewhat bewildered. "I want to show my brother my wife?" How did she come up with this idea? How could a sister show her brother her wife?
Moreover, his brother always had a cold face, and coupled with years of fighting, there was a murderous aura about him.
How could a lady from a wealthy family in Kyoto be so pampered and spoiled like this? Furthermore, the northwest was dry and windy, and if she married him, she would have to go to the northwest with him, and it would be difficult for her to even see her family again. Would a lady from a wealthy family in Kyoto be willing to accompany him to the northwest and endure the hardships?
Ye Chen seemed to have read Chen Qiu's thoughts. "Don't worry. During the Spring Festival banquet on March 3rd, we will invite all the families with unmarried girls in Kyoto City. Then, let my brother-in-law stand at a distance and watch."
"If he finds someone he likes, then let Grandma come forward. She and Grandma Shen are good sisters, so she can come forward to discuss it. But in the end, it's still up to my father-in-law and mother-in-law to make the decision. After all, this is my eldest brother's lifelong event."
Chen Qiu nodded, "I guess my brother doesn't know either. My mother gave me such a task. My mother is also anxious. After all, my brother is already 23 years old. Let's discuss it with my brother first."
Although they are in-laws, it is still not good to get involved in such matters. If the couple is living well, everyone will be happy. But if the girl is unhappy and goes back to her parents' home to cry, people will blame her grandmother. This is a thankless task.
Although he is my brother, if the girl is unhappy, my brother will naturally not be happy either. Then my family will blame me and my grandmother. It is better not to do it from the beginning. My brother is a person who believes in fate and is reasonable. He will understand my difficulties and thoughts.
The next day, Chen Qiu had someone call Chen Yue over early, without mentioning the matter of yesterday's letter.
We went to Rongwei Hall together, paid our respects to our grandparents first, and then talked about other things after breakfast.
Lan Yu came back last night and everyone in Qiuchen Courtyard had already gone to bed. She knew that Chen Qiu's elder brother had returned yesterday, so she waited specially today to see this pioneer general from the northwest.
Lan Yu sat in Shen Qiu's room, watching Ye Chen combing Shen Qiu's hair, holding her chin with her hand and said, "If Xiao Hang can treat me like this one day, I will cry with joy."
As soon as Shen Yue entered the courtyard, a maid reported, "General Shen is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a tall figure coming in, "Brother, wait a minute, I'll be fine."
Lan Yu came out from the inner room. "Are you Xiaoqiu's brother? The vanguard general of the northwest?"
Chen Yue looked at the girl and frowned unconsciously. Judging from her hair, she should be unmarried. But coming out of her sister and brother-in-law's boudoir so early in the morning, could this brother-in-law have done something bad?
