Chen Ziyue had no intention of hiding the fact that Jiang Yufen was Jiang Feng from Ye.
Ye knew about it a long time ago: "Well, at that time, I asked her to study with you, and your father told me. I even sent people to follow you because I was afraid that the children in the school would not know the seriousness of the matter and let her be bullied."
In fact, her idea at that time was to let Jiang Feng take the opportunity to get into trouble so that the Chen family could legitimately cancel the marriage.
Who knew that it was impossible to defy fate, and Jiang Yufen still married into the Chen family.
Chen Ziyue was stunned: "Mom, why didn't you tell me earlier? I used to take him to climb trees and go up to the house."
If there hadn't been someone immersing a pig cage in the pond near the ancestral hall, the three of them would have secretly gone swimming.
Ye waved her hand nonchalantly, "There aren't so many rules in the countryside. You played together when you were little, and now that your eldest brother is not at home, please keep an eye on the servants for me and don't let them bully her."
In the capital, it was common for girls from humble families to be bullied by the housekeepers and servants when they married into wealthy families.
However, in order to avoid being bullied by others, it seems that it is more appropriate for the wolfhound to come forward. This is what Chen Ziyue really thinks.
He had no sisters, and his father had no concubines. He didn't know if there was any falsehood in his mother's words, but he had seen the strict distinctions between legitimate and illegitimate children in other families: "Men and women are different. When she was young, she didn't understand. Now she is the eldest sister-in-law!"
Ye said, "She grew up in a small place, hasn't seen the world, and is shy, so she's only a little familiar with you. I was worried that she wouldn't know the rules, but hearing you say that, I'm relieved!"
Young people are always carefree when they are together
Chen Ziyue bravely asked Jiang Yufen for mercy: "There's a piece of wasteland outside the backyard. Why not let my sister-in-law plant flowers and raise a dog?"
The key is that there is a secret passage to play outside.
While he was at home taking care of his grandmother Xu Zitao and before his eldest brother came back from the academy, the three of them were going to go hunting together.
Madam Ye did not stop her: "Alright, I heard Jiang is good at growing flowers, let her decorate our yard more beautifully."
Seeing her son running out excitedly, she didn't expect him to turn back halfway, so she said to the housekeeper, Pan Ma, with a tone that was half contemptuous and half disdainful, "Hmph, what do you call a rich young lady? She's just a girl who grew up in the countryside. She knows less about etiquette than the servants in the Chen Mansion. So what if she can plant flowers? It's just a gardener's job."
Pan Ma said in a flattering tone, "Madam, fortunately, the eldest young lady is very pretty and grew up in a country farm. What's rare is that she doesn't have a trace of vulgarity."
Madam Ye said disdainfully, "When the general brings Zijing back home, I'll ask the master to arrange for Zijing to marry the second daughter of Wang Hanlin. Miss Wang is well-educated, well-mannered, dignified and beautiful. Only with her appearance and family background can she be worthy of our Zijing."
…
Jiang Yufen happily pointed to her own garden and said, "When the weather gets cold, I'll put up a trellis to protect it from the wind and snow, so that we can enjoy the flowers during the New Year."
Xu Zitao, as usual, tutted his tongue twice and continued to call him by his childhood name, "Jiang Feng, you've brought all the flowers here. Lord Jiang won't come after us and ask for them back, right? Hehe, then we can imitate the ancients and sit here by candlelight, chatting and watching the ephemeral flowers bloom!"
After listening to Chen Ziyue's suggestion, Jiang Yufen loaded two trucks of flowers and plants, plus Lai Fu and Lai Gui, when she returned to Chen's house.
Now Lai Fu and Lai Gui have become Chen Ziyue and Xu Zitao's followers respectively.
In return, the two brothers brought Jiang Yufen delicious food and fun things, and occasionally took her out shopping when Mrs. Ye was out of the house.
Or like today, dress up as boys and go horseback riding and shooting together.
What Chen Ziyue didn't expect was: "Jiang Feng, you can actually ride a horse!"
Jiang Yufen was very proud: "A gentleman knows some things and doesn't know others!"
Xu Zitao maliciously whipped Jiang Yufen's horse's leg from behind, and the horse ran away in pain.
This time Jiang Yufen couldn't hold the reins, so she leaned over and hugged the horse's neck and screamed.
Chen Ziyue rode forward and ran a short distance, but he still couldn't control the frightened horse.
Seeing that Jiang Yufen was about to be thrown off the horse, Chen Ziyue jumped over, grabbed the reins with one hand and held Jiang Yufen's waist with the other. The horse raised its front hooves high, walked a few steps on the ground and finally stopped.
Jiang Yufen leaned in Chen Ziyue's arms, her face pale as paper. She waited for the horse to stop, then lay on the horse's neck, her throat gurgling and vomiting a few mouthfuls of sour water.
Xu Zitao was still teasing: "Jiang Feng, you can't handle praise! I just told you you're awesome and you gasped! Tsk tsk, it seems like a gentleman has his strengths and weaknesses!"
Jiang Yufen closed her eyes and panted for a while, then sucked her lips at Lai Gui and whistled: "Lai Gui, bite him!"
Xu Zitao was so frightened that he spurred his horse and fled, disappearing from sight in a moment.
Chen Ziyue laughed heartily: "Teach me how to whistle to order Lai Fu around."
Jiang Yufen turned her head to demonstrate: "One long, one short, chase, two short, come back, one long, sit down, three short, bite!"
Lai Fu jumped up, sat down, rushed out and came back at the hostess's whistle.
Chen Ziyue followed along and had a lot of fun.
Xu Zitao ran with sweat all over his forehead, and ran back shouting: "Jiang Feng, hurry up and stop this stupid dog from chasing me, motherfucker, help me!"
Chen Ziyue whistled twice.
Lai Gui obediently turned and ran to Jiang Yufen's horse and stopped, sticking out his long tongue and wagging his big tail to ask for rewards.
Chen Ziyue laughed heartily, bent down, took out a piece of dried meat from the bag beside the saddle, and threw it to Lai Gui: "Well done!"
Xu Zitao rode over breathlessly, "Fuck, you two are still hugging each other, and I've already run ten miles back and forth!"
Chen Ziyue pulled his arm away as if he had been electrocuted and blew three short whistles.
This time, Lai Fu and Lai Gui jumped up together and chased after Xu Zitao to bite him, making Xu Zitao so angry that he slapped his horse and yelled, "Fuck it! You two have been flirting with each other for a long time, why don't you let me say anything?"
He was talking about what happened at Qinglu Academy back then.
Jiang Yufen froze, turned her face away awkwardly, and looked away, her voice trembling: "Get down!"
Luckily there was no one around!
Chen Ziyue's servant stayed in Chen's house to cover them.
Chen Ziyue pointed a finger, jumped off the horse's back, clenched his fist, and coughed at his lips: "You know Xu Zitao is a mean-spirited person!" After that, he continued to purse his lips and whistle three short times: "Let him run a little longer!"
Xu Zitao ran back and pounced on Chen Ziyue before his horse had even stopped. "What the hell! You two are teasing me on purpose! If you want to get close, just tell me. I'll be your watchdog. What's the matter with letting the dogs loose?"
Chen Ziyue raised his fist and hit her: "Didn't I hold you enough? I even held you to sleep! Jiang Feng is my sister-in-law now, you can kill her by talking nonsense!"
Xu Zitao swung his fist back without hesitation: "Who told you to hold her so tightly? Even though she's wearing your clothes, others would think she's your prostitute!"
