Chapter 165: Grow up quickly

Chen Qi is two years older than Shangguan Chen, which is almost sixteen years younger. As far as Shangguan Chen knows, his sister should be seventeen or eighteen.

In such a beautiful age, most women of her age have married or have settled their marriages. For example, Su Muwan has married her royal brother at this age, and even younger people like Su Xinai have already married her 14th and 5th.

However, as far as Shangguan Chen knows, Chen Qi's sister Chen Wei has not been married or engaged yet.

Why did she never show her to others? Could it be that Chen’s father, mother and Chen Shu were not anxious about her marriage?

When Guan Chen talked about his sister, Chen Qi's face suddenly drooped, and he looked a little dejected.

"My sister, you don't know how stubborn she is. In the past two years, my mother has told her several marriages, but none of them agreed to."

"More than two years ago, she didn't know what was stimulating. When she got home, she said that she would never get married for the rest of her life. She said that if my brother and I couldn't tolerate her, she would just go to the nun's yard to peel her hair and become a nun. What do you mean by this!"

"And she made her beautiful boudoir into a temple, and she didn't have any bright colors. She just read books and practiced piano in the house every day, but it made our family very worried. Whose lady did you think is like this?"

You can tell from your tone how troubled Chen Qi was in his heart, but Shangguan Chen did not expect that his sister would be such a person.

He remembered that when Chen Qi first went to study for him, he didn't say that about his sister.

At that time, Chen Wei, who was mentioned by Chen Qi, was still a very domineering and lively woman, who was easy to dress up and loved everything that ordinary women like.

Why did she become such a person in just two or three years? I think something bad must have happened to her?

Seeing Shangguan Chen's thoughtful look, Chen Qi hit him with a hand and said with a chin.

"Don't tell others about my sister. At least the family scandal is not revealed. My mother has said in front of outsiders that she has gone to my uncle's house in front of others. Otherwise, the news of this good-looking girl wanting to be a nun will spread, and she will not be able to find anyone if she really wants to get married in the future."

Shangguan Chen nodded, knowing that this is something that concerns the woman's reputation, so he naturally would not speak to outsiders, but he still asked in confusion.

"No one in your family asked her what was wrong? How could a person suddenly want to be a nun? Usually, only those who are hurt by the dead tree will think of taking this step?"

"Hey, why didn't you ask? She bit her mouth and didn't say it. Who knows? But my mother said in private that my sister was probably injured by love, and I don't know who made my sister like this. If I know, I have to deal with him well!"

As Chen Qi said that, he clenched his fist, and a creaking sound came from the joints of Dalian.

Shangguan Chen was not good at commenting on this matter, so he stopped talking about it. Instead, he patted Chen Qi on the shoulder and said.

"I think it's really not easy for your brother. With you, a younger brother who doesn't like to study and a younger sister who doesn't want to get married, no wonder I think he looks much haggard than when I saw him last time."

"You, you'd better grow up quickly!"

Chen Qi couldn't help laughing when he heard that a man who was two years younger than him suddenly spoke in this serious tone.

"You said to me, so are you. I heard that the emperor has only allowed you to be by your side recently when he revised memorials. How about it? He has made a lot of progress recently!"

Shangguan Chen nodded with a serious face.

"I'm really going to grow up soon. You know before that my elder brother has always been protecting me and can meet me all day long. When he went out to fight, I really dreamed of him every night. I have been relying on him too much for years."

"So I also need to grow up more, try to help him more or cause less trouble in the future. Recently, I have learned a lot of things with my father, which I have never heard of before."

Recently, following Shangguan Sha to review the memorial, he quickly changed Shangguan Chen’s previous ideas, and it can even be said that his previous views on many things were defeated.

In the past, his world was clearly divided into black and white. Liked is like, hate is hate, one is one, two is two, and there is no confusion at all.

But now he realized that everything is not that absolute!

Even if you become an emperor, this is the case. Not all the ministers are scheming and do not hide anything. There are countless people who are scheming and tricked in this regard.

The real situation of the taxes reported in the memorial is to add one or two percent to it.

The casualties reported by parents in those disaster areas in Jiangnan should be added to 10% or 20%.

The amount of money reported for repairing bridge roads is reduced by 10% or 20%.

There are also honest officials who may not be virtuous, and corrupt officials may not be treacherous villains.

From different perspectives, a case has different trial results. It is not necessarily the victims who are both victims and the defendants who are all defendants.

Shangguan Sha smashed these things bit by bit and explained them to Shangguan Chen, asking him to quickly absorb all these things while wondering.

Although he still has this innocent heart now, his vision and ideas are not comparable to those he used to be.

He felt that if Shangguan Yu came back, he would be very happy and relieved to see such a person.

This is also the reason why Shangguan Sha did not tell him why he did this.

"Okay, then we both have to fight for a sigh of relief. I can't ask my brother to underestimate you anymore. You have to work hard to help King Shangyu in the future!"

Chen Qi saw Shangguan Chen's eyes brighter and brighter as he spoke, and felt that in some aspects, he had surpassed himself and walked ahead.

So it was inspired and ignited hope for the future.

Shangguan Chen smiled slightly and said nothing.

"By the way, you kidnapped me out of our mansion and said you wanted to invite me to a restaurant. It would be an excuse, right? Could it be that you should leave me ruthlessly after asking what you want to know?"

Shangguan Chen shook his head, "Of course not. This meal must be eaten, but let's go to a place first."

"Where are you going? What else do you have to do before eating?" Chen Qi scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"Keep confidential, you will know when you arrive!"

"cut!"

Finally, the carriage drove all the way and came to a dilapidated alley. The man who drove the carriage shouted to the two people inside through a curtain.

"Master, here!"

After hearing his words, Shangguan Chen lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. Chen Qi didn't know what he was selling in the gourd, so he followed him.

But when he saw that the carriage was actually two people who looked exactly the same, he felt a little strange.

He remembered that when he got on the carriage just now, there was only one person. Could it be that when they drove the carriage, someone jumped up?

Chen Qi thought something was wrong. While he was still holding his head and thinking about whether he was looking at him dizzy just now, the two people driving the carriage brought Shangguan Chen aside.

When I opened the hat I was wearing on my head, I saw that these two people were not others, but Mo Yan and Mo Yu.

Mo Yan pointed to the dilapidated alley behind him and said respectfully to Shangguan Chen.

"Master, as soon as I received the letter you asked someone to bring me, I immediately asked someone to inquire. The first one to find out was An Qinru's wet nurse. After something happened, she was kicked out and now lives behind. As for the others, most of them are no longer in the capital."

"Are you sure you're not getting it wrong?"

Shangguan Chen asked, "It's not his fault for doubting Mo Yan. This place is really a bit dilapidated, and you can even see feces pulled out by some beasts on the ground, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable when you look at it."

"Of course, it's impossible to make a mistake. It is said that after the wet nurse was kicked out, she tried to make a big fuss in An Mansion. She made a few times but failed. She didn't know who broke one leg. She is now living with her daughter and son-in-law. I heard that she was very tight."

Mo Yan was very confident in this news because it was not found out casually, but was found out by the secret guards who specialized in inquiring about the news in the capital. The accuracy was unquestionable.

Mo Yu next to him heard it and said.

"That's right, master, don't worry, our own people will not make any mistakes in the news."

"But I've wanted to ask a long time ago why you didn't let me in and talk to the princess when you just returned to Prince Yu's mansion, but let me pretend to be a groom, and didn't even enter the door."

Shangguan Chen was about to explain, but when he saw Mo Yan rolling his eyes and speaking to Mo Yu.

"What's there to ask about this? The master went to the princess to ask about some important things. Why are you taking you with me? Besides, you just left the princess in the morning. What's there to say now!"

When Shangguan Chen heard his brothers quarrel, he just smiled and didn't make a sound.

After hearing the news of Su Muwan coming back from Mo Yan and Mo Yu this morning, he rushed out of the palace, but Mo Yu finally took him to Prince Yu's mansion in a carriage.

Mo Yan was a boy named Qingfeng whom they had left the palace and arranged for him to bring back.

After leaving Prince Yu's mansion, Shangguan Chen asked his servant to send a message to Mo Yan, asking him to find out where the servants in the An Mansion who had a deep contact with An Qinru were now, and he went to Chen's mansion.

When they left Chen's mansion, Mo Yu took the opportunity to jump onto the carriage and took the carriage to the place where he found out.

That's why this seamless process makes Chen Qi so puzzled, thinking that he was confused.
