Looking at the hairpin that was combined, Chen Yichen's cherished behavior made Chen Qingtong smile and the corners of his eyes became crescent moons.

"Brother Yichen, can you please help me put it on?"

Chen Qingtong said this with a blushing cheek. At this moment, under the impact of her inner emotions, she no longer cared about the defense between men and women.

"good."

Chen Yichen didn't care about ancient etiquette and law. He did not dare to do anything beyond the rules before because of Chen Qingtong's reputation.

Now that I have confirmed my relationship, I will not care about the judgment of the outside world. At worst, I will propose marriage to Hou Taining. The Ming media married Chen Qingtong home. Who dares to talk nonsense?

Picking up this hairpin with a squat, Chen Yichen gently walked into Chen Qingtong's hair, and even when he was close, he could smell the faint fragrance on the other person's body.

"Brother Yichen, I heard the news that you won the Jie Yuan on the way to Beijing."

"I was so happy at that time. I knew that Brother Yichen, you are very talented and will definitely be able to go to high school. Let's see who will dare to underestimate you in the future, hum!"

After spending the initial shyness and affection, Chen Qingtong quickly regained her carefree personality.

When she learned that Chen Yichen's high school Jie Yuan was not considering the future of high-ranking officials and high salaries, and her future was bright, and she felt that she had a sigh of relief.

You should know that in the circle of Ying Tianxun's children, many people once regarded Chen Yichen as the object of despising and ridicule, and Chen Qingtong often debated with these people, hoping to prove that he was not a mediocre person who was ignorant.

Chen Yichen's achievements today can be considered proud. Without relying on his own efforts, how many people who laugh at him can compare with those who laugh at him?

Of course, in addition to this, there is another point that Chen Qingtong is embarrassed to say.

That is, the better Chen Yichen performs, the greater the possibility of being valued by his father. Maybe one day he will be able to gain full recognition and he will be able to accompany Yichen brother.

"Yes, I also want to see what those people think after they hear the news."

Chen Yichen smiled and agreed, but in fact he didn't care about the opinions of those irrelevant people.

But Chen Qingtong's words made him feel relaxed. Jie Yuan's identity was finally not only a capital to climb up deliberately, but an achievement that he could be happy to show off.

To be honest, during these days in the capital, Chen Yichen was not as happy as Yingtian Mansion. Every day, he either wanted to operate his connections to make himself stronger, or he was caught in various intrigues to prevent him from being sold if he was not careful.

Today's appearance of Chen Qingtong is also a ray of sunshine in the haze for Chen Yichen.

Just as the two of them were in love with each other, two coughs came from beside them, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere at this moment.

Chen Ying, the Marquis of Taining, walked out of the Qigu Altar and happened to see the scene of Chen Yichen wearing a hairpin for Chen Qingtong.

As an old father, Chen Ying can be said to be filled with emotions. He used to think of breaking up the couple and helping his daughter cut off his love, and then find a good partner for her in the future. However, he didn't expect that the two of them would eventually be in a relationship and they were in love.

If it were in Yingtian last year, when Chen Ying, the Marquis of Taining, saw this scene, he would probably have been more tough in banning Chen Qingtong, and even forcibly betrothed her to others.

Even if the daughter at that time did not understand or even resent herself, time will eventually prove it all.

Because the poor and humble couple are sad, they are married from the only daughter of the marquis who are superior to become the wife of a small official. This gap in identity will accompany Chen Qingtong's second half of his life.

However, Chen Yichen's high school Jie Yuan has made Taining Hou Chen Ying vaguely shake her firm thoughts before.

If Jie Yuan is not surprised, it will be fine to have a Jinshi exam for the high school next year. Although civil servants are not as noble as honorary relatives, if one day they can become the minister of the court and the minister, they can also ensure that their daughter will be prosperous and prosperous for the second half of her life and will not be bullied and despised.

In addition to what happened in the sacrifice today, it has shown that Chen Yichen is not only talented in reading, but also has a lot of social skills.

A maid who grew up in Yingtian Mansion has a strong connection in the civil service group in the capital. Even Chen Ying himself was a little shocked. How did this be done?

It can be said that Chen Yichen is now close to the standard line for Chen Ying, the Marquis of Taining, to choose a son-in-law.

"I'll pay homage to the marquis."

When Chen Yichen saw Hou Taining, he immediately bowed and felt embarrassed that he was caught.

After all, men and women were very strict in the Ming Dynasty. Their actions of wearing hairpins just now had exceeded the boundaries of etiquette and law, and they should have been seen by Chen Ying.

As for Chen Qingtong, she looked panicked. She knew nothing more than Chen Yichen, and she knew very well that her father refused to date the two.

Now that my father was caught on the spot, I don’t know what kind of punishment I would be punished. At the very least, it is not easy to be confined to see Chen Yichen again. At the worst, it may help me arrange a marriage directly, but I really don’t know what to do.

"father……"

Chen Qingtong's eyes showed some prayers, hoping that Chen Ying, the Marquis of Taining, could show mercy.

Looking at his daughter's expression, Chen Ying sighed helplessly. It's really a big shot.

"Yichen, although you and Qingtong have met since childhood, they have grown up now, so many times you still have to pay attention to a little bit of boundaries."

"The Marquis teaches him right, it's because the younger generation has exceeded the rules."

Chen Yichen immediately admitted his mistake, and he knew very well that etiquette and law had no reason to speak in this era.

"Qingtong, you get on the carriage first. There are many outsiders here. How can a girl show up in public?"

"I know, dad."

Chen Qingtong also agreed carefully. She didn't dare to anger Taining Hou at this time, otherwise she would have no chance to be with Chen Yichen.

But as she turned around and saw Chen Yichen reluctantly, Chen Ying was feeling sad again.

"Yichen, I am sincerely happy for you to see your achievements today."

"But I have only one daughter like Qingtong in my life. I have regarded her as a treasure since I was a child and I don't want her to suffer any grievances."

"So, for her husband's standards, we must not be a mediocre person, nor can we be a mediocre person. Can you understand that?"

Today's scene also made Taining Hou Chen Ying understand that some things have become a foregone conclusion and are not as easy to solve as the first love affair.

At the same time, as his father, the power and wealth he pursued for Chen Qingtong was just a means of protection, not a necessary condition.

If glory and wealth were based on Chen Qingtong's pain, then Chen Ying would never agree.

Now that his daughter and Chen Yichen are in love, Taining Hou can only choose to accept the facts, but if you want to get full recognition from Chen Ying, the identity of Jie Yuan is not enough.

"My younger brother understand."

Chen Yichen could naturally hear what Chen Ying said about Taining Hou. He was telling himself that he could consider lowering the standards for choosing a son-in-law, but it could not be too low.

I am currently away from this standard line, and I am still a little bit short of it.

But even so, Chen Yichen understood that this was already a huge concession for Chen Ying, the Marquis of Taining.

Because in ancient times, Chen Qingtong was the only daughter of a marquis and was just an illegitimate son.

Jie Yuan was an unattainable identity in the eyes of civilians from outside, so what was he worth in front of Xunqi?

Looking at Chen Yichen's respectful look, Chen Ying couldn't help but sigh again.

The youngest Jie Yuan since the founding of the Ming Dynasty was not because Chen Yichen was not outstanding enough, but because his starting point was too low for Xunqi.

"Work hard, don't let me down, let alone let alone let Qingtong down."

After saying that, Chen Ying, Hou Taining, patted Chen Yichen on the shoulder and stepped beside him and walked towards the carriage.

"Thank you, Marquis!"

Chen Yichen's tone became excited because this sentence means that Taining Hou was willing to give him this opportunity.

Listening to the thank you voice behind him, Chen Ying, Taining Hou, did not look back, but a slightly upward curve appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As he got on the carriage, Chen Qingtong immediately leaned over and asked nervously: "Dad, what did you say to Brother Yichen?"

"This is not what you should care about. If you dare to run out like this in the future, just confine me to the mansion!"

"Oh, my daughter knows that she is wrong."

Chen Qingtong lowered her head, looking obedient and obedient as if she had admitted her mistake.

But he quickly raised his head and asked, "Dad, you didn't make things difficult for Brother Yichen, he really didn't do anything."

"you……"

Now Taining Hou was really a little bitterly smiling. Why did he show his tendency to turn his elbow outward?

Looking at the carriage from the Taining Marquis Mansion away, Chen Yichen turned his head and looked at the direction where he saw Zhao Hongjie before, but that position was empty.

Chen Yichen guessed in his mind that Zhao Hongjie might have a responsibility to appear in such an occasion. Now the ministers of honor and Qi have left, so the Jinyiwei has also begun to evacuate.

well……

After sighing heavily, Chen Yichen felt a little regretful and wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Zhao Hongjie.

On the other hand, Zhu Ji returned to the mansion, immediately rushed to Lin's room in the backyard, and said anxiously: "Mother is in trouble, and Taining Hou has arrived in the capital."

Lin was originally helping Zhu Yong embroider a pair of shoes, but Zhu Ji rushed in like this and almost pierced it in his hand.

So he replied dissatisfiedly: "What does it have to do with you when he returns to Beijing by Hou Taining?"

"Ji'er, I have warned you many times to be calm in your actions and words. You should learn more from Zhu Yi. He is much more experienced than you."

"Mother, let's talk about the calm things in the future, now I'm already in a state of burning trouble!"

"The arrival of Taining Marquis to the capital means that his only daughter Chen Qingtong also came to the capital. Chen Yichen, that boy, was already coveted, and he would definitely take action now."

When Lin heard this, she felt a joke. She said in a contemptuous tone: "You have already negotiated an engagement with the daughter of Zhenyuan Hou, so don't think about Chen Qingtong."

"There is also a mere maid Chen Yichen, who will Chen Ying, the Marquis of Taining, look at him? After all, you are the legitimate son of the prince now. Are you afraid of a bastard just because you have reduced your status? "

Hearing this, Zhu Ji was speechless. If he hadn't met the Marquis of Taining that night, "pointing a deer as a horse" to protect Chen Yichen, he wouldn't have believed that a maid who was in the genealogy would have been able to see Chen Ying's eyes.

In addition, the incident that night was quite embarrassing, so Zhu Ji never mentioned it to Lin, which led to his mother's mentality as before.

At this point, Zhu Ji didn't care about embarrassment and described all the things that happened that night and Chen Yichen's performance at the sacrificial ceremony today in detail.
