Chapter 1114
This saying has always existed in this world, but not everyone necessarily knows it.
The gap in understanding between people is comparable to the chasm between humans and gods.
Yu Yan Chu came from the imperial family; she naturally occupied the highest tier of knowledge in this era, knowing far more than others, and what she considered common sense might be something others never learn in a lifetime.
Anyway, Chen Wuji truly did not know this saying until this moment.
However, asking about such a private matter face to face is truly inappropriate, so Chen Wuji decided to check it out tonight to see if what Yu Yan Chu said was true or false.
"Originally I planned to have Sanniang and the others cultivate the Chen family's hereditary martial arts, but who would have thought the Chen family actually still has a rule that wives and concubines cannot inherit it. After all, it's a rule left by the Chen ancestors, so I couldn't really oppose it, well... actually I couldn't oppose it either." Yu Yan Chu quietly squeezed closer to Chen Wuji again, her posture of taking advantage nearly amounted to a full ten out of ten.
Chen Wuji cooperated by quietly reaching his hand over, slipping into Yu Yan Chu's skirt from behind; as a qualified husband, he must learn to read these subtle signals.
Although lighting this dry wood and fire on the carriage is inadvisable, friction and affection are also a kind of tenderness.
"I will find an opportunity to discuss this with the clan." Chen Wuji said.
Yu Yan Chu's little face quietly blushed, her body first tensed then softened, "Husband, better not say this; it seems every family is like this, even the imperial clan has such rules. What I learned is not our family's hereditary martial arts, but picked up from the rivers and lakes."
"That was just my thinking back then; later I found that having the sisters learn Chen family martial arts, even if the clan opened up, would still be inconvenient, as martial arts training involves much to teach, unavoidably requiring entry into the inner quarters, possibly even involving physical contact."
"Later I just taught my own martial arts to the sisters; Sanniang is the most skilled, now she has entered internal strength, and in a few days she might just catch up to me."
To conceal her shyness, Yu Yan Chu dragged on with irrelevant talk, chattering endlessly, but actually only two sentences were truly useful.
Chen Wuji looked in disbelief at Huo Sanniang, who was playfully fighting with Shen Youwei, "Sanniang, you've already entered internal strength?"
"... Maybe it was just luck, Yanchu said I have good aptitude, I don't even know what aptitude is, but I do feel I progress a bit faster than them." Huo Sanniang said.
"What level are Youwei, Hongdou, and Imperial Street at now?" Chen Wuji wanted to give himself some hope, rather than keep saying it, he was actually the most useless at martial arts in the family.
"We are all at external strength, stuck there for a long time." Shen Youwei said.
Xiao Yuji followed closely, "I've recently felt something, maybe I'm about to enter internal strength, but I'm not sure, just a vague sense like that."
Chen Wuji completely lost hope.
He really is the most useless one in the family.
If this were some novel, he would be the template protagonist who gets thrown out of the family at the start due to useless aptitude, watches his wives and concubines commit adultery, then swears by the wall corner to avenge his shame.
"This matter is something I've always overlooked; I should have arranged it for you earlier, but I didn't expect to go there." Chen Wuji felt guilty, he truly didn't expect to go there.
"Husband has too many things to worry about, not thinking of where to go is not strange, but Qin Zhanhong that dead woman, also not thinking of where to go, that's really asking for a beating." Yu Yan Chu said fiercely.
She and Qin Zhanhong love and hate each other; encountering such an opportunity, how could she let it pass?
"Also Wanwan, she's stronger than Hong Jie, yet she didn't even think to bring an ordinary sister's sword, we're going this time, we must kill them!" Shen Youwei waved her little fist angrily, suddenly noticing Chen Wuji's left hand, she lunged over.
"Huh? Husband, what are you playing with?"
Yu Yan Chu hummed and shrank into Chen Wuji's embrace, burying her face deeply.
"Yo, still hiding!" Shen Youwei squeezed beside Shen Youwei, her little hand like a slippery fish sliding along Chen Wuji's arm into Yu Yan Chu's skirt hem.
"Ah... you you you, don't." Yu Yan Chu exclaimed in shock, shouting urgently.
Shen Youwei pressed her whole body onto Yu Yan Chu, shouting to Huo Sanniang and the others: "Sanniang, someone is secretly eating alone, how should we deal with it?"
"Of course..." Xiao Yuji twisted her mouth viciously, then quickly dispersed, throwing a charming glance at Chen Wuji: "Husband, I also want to eat alone!"
Damn it!
Chen Wuji felt his bones go weak from that glance.
Xiao Yuji is a typical contrast queen; when she's proper, she's more dignified than anyone, but when she switches to improper mode, that one glance, Qin Zhanhong would need a lifetime to learn.
This talent is innate for some people, impossible to imitate.
"Eat, who else wants to eat alone? Come together?" Chen Wuji laughed.
This feeling instantly made him dream back to Hezhou.
Those days when he just started his business, there was much confusion, also many worries, but the days were truly joyful and warm.
Especially every night at that time...
Each of his nights back then was exactly what he had dreamed of in his previous life but could never obtain.
It should also be the dream of countless old and young gentlemen.
Amidst the playing and roughhousing, the carriage arrived at Zhangye City.
Chen Wuji let Huo Sanniang and the others calm down a bit, then he got off the carriage.
"Wow, this is the city Husband built at Yimachuan? It seems even bigger than Hezhou City! Wow, what is this? Camp tents? So luxurious?!"
Shen Youwei had just jumped down from the carriage when she first gave a triple shock.
Fortunately, Chen Wuji was long accustomed to her behavior, letting her marvel was fine.
A girl with a maiden's heart, how reasonable!
Zhang Xiuer and Lu Wanwan had long been waiting outside the camp gate; seeing Huo Sanniang and the others come down, they immediately went up to greet.
"Wanwan greets Sanniang."
"Sisters, long time no see... everyone seems to have become prettier."
Zhang Xiuer only knew Huo Sanniang and the others by sight, but couldn't say they were familiar; she could only follow behind Lu Wanwan, nodding and smiling, when Lu Wanwan said something, she also echoed with a shout of "sister."
After shouting all around, she suddenly realized she seemed to have inexplicably become the youngest.
Clearly, whether by age or order of entry, she shouldn't be the youngest.
"Some people are so comfortable, they can accompany the husband all day, walking here, looking there, not like us, sigh, pitiful!" Shen Youwei pulled Lu Wanwan and suddenly launched into a yin-yang weird air mode.
"What can be done about it? I know martial arts!" Lu Wanwan said with a giggle.
Just like Qin Zhanhong and Yu Yan Chu, Lu Wanwan and Shen Youwei are also a pair of enemies.
These two, whenever they get together, hardly ever have a proper conversation.
