After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Chapter 40? Return to Chang'an (3)

The big boat broke through the tide and fog, and the fishy smell of the river hit our faces, but it was quickly dissipated by the fragrance of the reeds on both sides.

As the ship approached the river bank, the bustling docks all came into view.

Pei Chuchu stared at the majestic and simple capital city and couldn't help but tighten his hands.

Two years apart.

Chang'an remains unchanged.

I wonder if those people in the deep palace have changed?

At this moment, I understood what it means to be "more timid when you are close to your hometown"...

"This is Chang'an!"

A proud voice suddenly came.

Zhongqing held Chen Mianfang's hand and glanced at Pei Chuchu triumphantly: "You are from a folk background, have you never seen such a majestic and prosperous city? After entering the city, you must follow us closely at all times, and don't make a fool of yourself and call others You are making fun of our Chen family for being so petty."

Chen Mianfang nodded in agreement and echoed like a parrot: "There are so many dignitaries in Chang'an, so don't think too highly of yourself. If you offend the dignitaries, you will reap the consequences!"

Pei Chuchu glanced at them lightly.

She put on a power fence and walked straight off the ship.

Zhong Qing couldn't help but sneer: "Look, you really have no eyesight. The people of Chang'an are open, and women can go out on the streets openly. Why do they need to cover their faces with power fences? She hides her family spirit."

"Isn't it?" Chen Mianfang rolled her eyes, "It's embarrassing!"

Even Chen Mianguan shook his head.

I originally thought that Pei Chuchu had seen the world and behaved in a dignified manner, but today it seems that compared to Qing'er, she can't stand on the stage after all, which is really embarrassing to him.

Pei Chuchu ignored their disdainful looks and got off the boat with heavy steps.

She has too many acquaintances in Chang'an.

I just wish I didn't know those miracle doctors who are good at disguise, otherwise I would have to come back with a different face.

The group of people came to West Street in a carriage with their own thoughts.

The Chen family's mansion has been purchased, and the servants came over half a month in advance and had already arranged the furnishings of the pavilions and rooms in the mansion.

The chief steward came out with a cheerful face and led everyone into the house happily.

He introduced each courtyard one by one. When it was Pei Chuchu's turn, she was given a small wing.

The furnishings in the wing room are quite simple, with only a simple bed and chair, and not even a dressing table. Even the maid next to the owner would not live in such a room.

The steward said with a smile: "Auntie, the land in Chang'an City is very valuable, it would be nice to have a house to live in! Will you rest here from now on?"

Pei Chuchu reached out and touched the bed frame, but his fingertips touched a layer of dust.

It can be seen that not only the place is frugal, but the hygiene is also not clean.

She said meaningfully: "You really care about treating me lovingly."

The steward's expression changed greatly: "Shut up! Are you allowed to say bad things about the young madam?! Do you think you are still the master's wife? The young madam has given you a place to live, which is already magnanimous to you. You should be grateful." That’s right, how dare you gossip behind your back?!”

Faced with the steward's harsh words, Pei Chuchu yawned lazily.

She turned around and stepped out of the wing: "Whoever wants to live in such a poor place can live in it, but I can't live in it anyway."

She was a noble daughter of a noble family when she was young. Even when she entered the palace later, she never suffered any injustice in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

She couldn't live in such a shabby house.

The steward watched her leave the house, so he had no choice but to report his love.

Zhong Qing is pulling Chen Mianfang and learning with her the roots of the major families in Chang'an City.

When she heard that Pei Chuchu had run away, she sneered: "Chang'an is not Gusu. Things are so expensive. Where can a weak woman like her go? Just wait, she will come back obediently in less than three days."

Chen Mianfang snorted from her nostrils: "I don't know what to praise!"

Zhong Qing said again: "The Chen Mansion is a big tree, and she, Pei Chuchu, is a vine attached to the big tree. Fang'er, you and I should look up at the sky and the road ahead, instead of sticking to her small vine." The road ahead... Fang'er, your marriage has not been settled yet."

Chen Mianfang's cheeks turned red when she mentioned the marriage.

She is now nineteen years old, and would be an old girl in other people's homes.

It’s just that she has a high vision, and she has been picking and choosing over the years, but she can’t find the right one.

Now in the imperial city...

Chen Mianfang grabbed the laces of her dress and suddenly had an idea.

She carefully probed: "Sister-in-law, my father is now a third-grade minister, and he is considered a distinguished person. If I participate in the draft, is it possible... to enter the palace to serve the emperor? I heard that the emperor is handsome, and I am very attracted to it..."

As she spoke, her cheeks turned redder.

Zhongqing laughed.

She agreed: "It's a good thing that you have this ambition. My sister-in-law will naturally support you."

Chen Mianfang was even more happy and quickly held Zhong Qing's hand like a baby: "Sister-in-law, didn't you say you know Princess Mingyue? Why don't we take the opportunity to reminisce with Princess Mingyue and enter the palace, maybe we can meet the emperor by chance?"

Zhongqing was stunned.

How did she know Princess Mingyue? She was just bragging to show off her abilities in front of Pei Chuchu. Why does this girl keep remembering...

Chen Mianfang frowned: "Sister-in-law, you don't want to?"

Zhongqing's smile was a little stiff: "How could that be?"

Chen Mianfang was excited: "Then write a letter to Princess Mingyue! I want to enter the palace in these two days, and I can't wait to see the emperor's face!"

Zhongqing bit her lower lip, unwilling to lose face, so she could only say the word "ok" with difficulty.

the other side.

Pei Chuchu left Chen Mansion and went straight to North Street, the cleanest and most remote area in Chang'an.

She had earlier ordered her maid Ying'er to take the Caobang's transport ship with other servants and bring all her belongings and money to Chang'an in advance.

Now that her house has been purchased and arranged, even if she leaves the Chen Mansion, she will not be without a place to rest.

As soon as he approached the house, a whistle suddenly came from the thorn side.

Pei Chuchu looked over.

The girl was dressed in red like fire, with a leather whip wrapped around her waist. She was leaning in the alley with her arms and chest folded, and she was looking at her with raised eyebrows: "I haven't seen you for two years, and Sister Pei is still as beautiful as ever."

Pei Chuchu was a little dazzled: "Jiang Tian?"

"It's me, aunt!" Jiang Tian gestured coolly, "Let's go into the palace to see the princess!"
