Chapter 523 Stunning Yue Ruyan
The next day, in the courtyard where Chu Juan lived in the mansion of Duke Anguo.
Between the curtains, Chen Mo closed his eyes and fell asleep. It might be because he had been in the army for many months, traveled long distances, and was busy with military affairs. The conditions in the army were simple, which made his previous sleep quality a little poor.
After returning, lying on the wide and fragrant bed, with the beauty by his side and the pillow soft, Chen Mo had a good sleep.
It was indeed a good sleep, even if it was a dream, it was a beautiful dream.
He dreamed that in the cold winter, the temperature in the room was cold, but there was no firewood quilt to keep warm. It was Mi'er, An Niang, etc., who used their bodies to keep him warm and wrapped him in a gentle place.
On the pillow, Chen Mo frowned and felt a little urgent to urinate. He woke up directly, looked sideways blankly, and Chu Juan next to him was gone. Looking down again
Chen Mo was shocked.
It turned out that it was not urgent to urinate at all.
Rustling
Chu Juan poked her messy head out from under the quilt, and blinked her delicate eyes: "Husband, you. are awake."
"Juan'er, what's wrong with you?" Chen Mo raised his eyebrows.
"I know that my husband was pitying me last night, otherwise I would still be in high spirits in the morning, so." Chu Juan's face flushed, and it was the first time she took the initiative...
Chen Mo gently pinched her icy face, and then patted her jade back.
Chu Juan immediately understood, shyly and happily turned around, with her elbows and knees on the bed
A quarter of an hour later, the voice of Chu Juan's maid was heard outside: "Madam, the eldest lady asked you to come over for dinner."
The maid didn't know that Chen Mo was in Chu Juan's room yet.
"I know." Chu Juan's voice was a little intermittent.
When Chu Juan and Chen Mo rushed over, two quarters of an hour had passed. Yi Shiyan, who was sitting next to Han Anniang, saw that Chu Juan came with her husband, and couldn't help but snorted coldly, muttering softly: "Fox spirit."
Han Anniang next to her: "???"
Han Anniang really thought she had heard it wrong, because she really couldn't imagine that the good girl Xiaolu would actually call someone a fox spirit.
"I just asked why Sister Juan'er hasn't come yet. It turns out that my husband stayed at Sister Juan'er's place last night." Wu Mi smiled.
Chu Juan nodded shyly and sat down in the empty seat in front of the big round table. The maid waiting next to her hurriedly brought bowls and chopsticks.
The breakfast was meat porridge, eggs and goat milk, and a plate of braised meat.
Chen Mo sat at the top, next to Wu Mi, peeling eggs while looking at Yi Shiyan who was pouting and looked like she was sulking, and said: "Xiaolu, what's wrong with you? You look unhappy."
"Humph." Yi Shiyan snorted coldly, turned his head away, and ignored Chen Mo.
Chu Juan knew the reason and apologized to Yi Shiyan: "Sister Xiaolu, I'm sorry. I really miss my husband too much, and I also have something to say to my husband. I didn't mean it last night."
After Chu Juan said this, Chen Mo also understood why she was unhappy. He put the peeled eggs in Yi Shiyan's bowl and joked: "Xiaolu will be jealous too. Not bad, not bad. Your husband will go to your place first tonight. You must wash it clean."
Wu Mi, Han Anniang and others blushed and immediately covered their mouths and laughed.
Yi Shiyan was immediately embarrassed and wanted to get under the table to vent. She stood up and pouted her little mouth and stomped her feet and said: "I am not jealous."
Xiaolu's anger came and went quickly. After such a joke, she didn't care about Chu Juan anymore. She ate the eggs that Chen Mo peeled and put in the bowl, and the smile on her face appeared again.
While talking and laughing, Yue Ruyan walked in from outside the hall.
She didn't wear a long skirt or a brocade robe today, and her clothes were rather "strange", and no one in the south would wear them like that.
Her upper body was a white long-sleeved short coat, revealing her lower abdomen and collarbone. The clothes were open, and you could see the black and red small clothes inside.
The collision of red and black and white made the whole dress more eye-catching, and the cuffs were embroidered with silver patterns, which complemented the white.
Her lower body was a pair of black loose trousers, which were embellished with auspicious beasts with gold thread, highlighting the mystery and nobility as a whole.
Yue Ruyan's outfit at this moment made her both the boldness of a woman and the bravery of a man.
Longyou belonged to the west of the Great Song Dynasty. Four hundred years ago, it was a small country in the Western Rong. As the royal family at that time, the customs and culture of the Yuezhi were naturally different from those of the south and north of the Great Song Dynasty.
As soon as Yue Ruyan appeared in this outfit, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.
"Wow, sister Ruyan, your dress is so beautiful." Yi Shiyan, the most lively among the girls, screamed immediately and walked up to touch Yue Ruyan here and there.
"After all, she came from the army, this dress is just perfect for her." Xiao Yunxi said.
Even Xia Zhining's eyes were shining a little, Yue Ruyan's dress was perfectly in line with her aesthetics.
Stared at by everyone, Yue Ruyan's cold and frosty face showed a little panic, and her eyebrows were covered with a trace of shame.
This dress was what she wore in her boudoir before she took the lead in the affairs of the clan and the army.
She really couldn't get used to the dress yesterday, so she asked someone to find her mother overnight and send this dress over.
"Sister Yueyan is here, please sit down."
After a brief moment of surprise, Wu Mi hurriedly invited Yue Ruyan to sit down. After the latter sat down, Wu Mi smiled at Chen Mo and said, "My husband, Sister Ruyan looks like this, even I like her very much. It seems that we should hurry up and let Sister Ruyan in."
"This dress is really beautiful." Chen Mo's eyes flashed with surprise.
"After breakfast, I will invite the lady to discuss the marriage." Wu Mi said.
Chen Mo nodded.
On the other side, Yue's residence.
Although Chen Mo arranged a large mansion in Xiangyang City for the Yue family, this mansion was still too shabby in the eyes of the Yue family.
As the local emperor of Longyou, the mansion of the Yue family in Longyou can't be called a mansion, it can be described as a palace.
And now it is equivalent to moving from a luxurious manor to an ordinary large flat.
This sense of gap makes them feel sad.
At this moment, Yue Ruyan's aunts and uncles all gathered in Yue's mother's room, talking about the future of the Yue family.
"Sister, do you think we can go back to Longyou now that the Jinxia barbarians have withdrawn?" Yue's mother's sister said.
She didn't dislike the current treatment, but this kind of life under someone else's roof was not as free as in Longyou.
"I can't go back." Yue's mother sighed. Although she was not as good as her daughter, the fact that she had fled to Longyou and abandoned tens of thousands of people, as well as the heavy losses suffered by the army, showed that the Yue family's foundation in Longyou had collapsed. Ruyan told her that the only remaining Yue army had begun to show dissatisfaction with the Yue clan.
The Yue clan now no longer had the ability to return to Longyou to rebuild their foundation.
