"I'm used to it, it's delicious," Ah Chou said hurriedly. At the same time, he said, "Such a pot of pickled cabbage was finished in a few days."
"I was worried that you outsiders wouldn't be able to get used to the food." Grandma Chen said, looking at the bundle that Ah Chou had placed on the table. "What? The wedding dress was embroidered so quickly?"
"Yes, I embroidered it quickly on purpose, so that if there are any mistakes, I can correct them as soon as possible. After all, it is a wedding dress, not like other clothes. I have to be careful." Ah Chou said with a smile, while handing the bundle to Grandma Chen.
"What a clever and diligent girl," said Grandma Chen as she opened the bundle to check the wedding dress inside. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She couldn't stop praising Ah Chou. "The embroidery is really good. In my opinion, there is no need to modify it. The bride will definitely like it."
"Hehe. Grandma, you always praise me. I feel embarrassed." Ah Chou touched his nose a little embarrassedly, and said while holding Grandma Chen's hand, "When Mr. Chen gets married in the future, I will buy the bride's wedding dress!"
Grandma Chen paused, then shook her head and sighed softly: "Let him get married? We don't even know when that will happen."
"What...what happened?" Ah Chou asked cautiously. She leaned over to ask Grandma Chen, "Grandma, did something happen at home? I see why you are so unhappy."
Grandma Chen looked at the closed door of the study, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she shook her head and said, "It's okay."
"Oh." Grandma Chen didn't want to say it, and Ah Chou naturally didn't ask more questions. He asked Grandma Chen some more questions about making sauerkraut, and then hurried to the market.
…
"Guard Kong?" After turning a corner, Ah Chou saw Kong Wenjie standing under the birch tree and immediately looked surprised. "Didn't you leave a long time ago?"
Kong Wenjie did not answer her. He led the horse and walked with her.
Kong Wenjie didn't say anything, and Ah Chou couldn't find anything to say, so the two of them walked in silence on the country road. Ah Chou felt a little uncomfortable, and after a long while he finally said, "Guard Kong, you seem to come to Mr. Chen's house often?"
"He is a favorite in the eyes of the prefect. As a guard, don't I have to run more errands for the prefect?" Kong Wenjie said coldly, obviously unhappy.
"What...what happened?" Ah Chou shouldn't have asked this question, but thinking about Chen Qingxuan's angry shout just now, he was worried, so he asked carefully, "Mr. Chen doesn't seem very happy today, what's the matter?"
"Which of these scholars doesn't have a temper?" Kong Wenjie snorted coldly, "If they had a little more knowledge, they would be very noble."
"Mr. Chen is a very nice person," Ah Chou couldn't help but defend Chen Qingxuan, "He usually speaks with a smile, and he never looks down on people like me, not to mention someone of your status?"
Kong Wenjie glanced down at Achou, snorted coldly, and ignored Achou.
"Guard Kong, if there is anything wrong with Mr. Chen, please... bear more responsibility," Ah Chou thought for a long time before he stammered, "You are a magnanimous person, aren't you?"
"You are really protecting that sour scholar." Guard Kong looked at Ah Chou with a forced smile.
Ah Chou lowered his head and whispered, "Grandma Chen is very kind to me. She treats me like her granddaughter. Mr. Chen is also a very good person..."
"Am I not good to you?" Kong Wenjie interrupted Achou coldly.
"Ah?" Achou suddenly raised his head and looked at Kong Wenjie in a daze.
Seeing her silly look, Kong Wenjie's anger disappeared, and he briefly told Achou what happened today.
"You said that the daughter of the prefect's family has taken a fancy to Mr. Chen?" Ah Chou looked at Kong Wenjie with surprise, "Did the prefect agree?"
Kong Wenjie looked at her like this and couldn't help but sneered: "You seem very happy."
"Of course I'm happy. A daughter of a prefect is so rare," Ah Chou said with a smile, "Mrs. Chen has been looking forward to Mr. Chen getting married. If he can marry the daughter of a prefect, Mrs. Chen will definitely be very happy!"
"That also requires Chen Qingxuan's approval." Kong Wenjie snorted coldly.
Ah Chou then remembered Grandma Chen's long sigh and Chen Qingxuan's abnormal anger, and was stunned: "Could it be that Mr. Chen is unwilling?"
"If he was willing, I wouldn't have made this trip in vain," Kong Wenjie said unhappily, "The prefect invited him to his house for dinner, but he didn't show any mercy at all."
