Chapter 284: Unintentional Words
Seeing this little person, Hou Ye Chu's cold face had some warmth again, and he stretched out his hand to touch her, but after touching the veil, he shrank back, turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
He nodded to Chen Afu almost invisibly, and said to Chu Lingxuan in a cold voice, "I'll go back to the post station now, I'll go to the south early tomorrow morning." ”
Chu Lingxuan was speechless, only nodded.
He looked at Chu Hua and the child in her arms again, Chu Hua pouted and turned his head to the side to ignore him, Brother Heng was still smiling at him with tears in his eyes.
Marquis Chu shook his head, sighed, and walked outside the house, and Chu Lingxuan also followed.
When the back of the Marquis of Chu disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, Chu Hua cried, and the nurse hurriedly went over to pick up Brother Heng who started crying again from her arms.
Chen Afu used a handkerchief to help her wipe her tears, and persuaded, "Sister Chu, don't be sad, it won't look good if you make up and cry." ”
Chu Hua cried, "As soon as I see him, I will think of what my mother has lived all these years, remember that my brother and I had to go to the border, and Sister Yan'er suffered...... I hate him and hate him...... Actually, when I was a child, he loved me the most. How could he ...... like that"
Chen Afu couldn't say anything about the Marquis of Chu, so he had to persuade Chu Hua to want to open some, the worst days have passed, and a better life is just around the corner......
Chu Hua chattered while crying, crying enough, the girls brought water to clean her face and put on makeup.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, raised her head and asked Chen Afu, "Just now, my brother Heng seemed to have spoken, and he called 'master', I heard it right, right?" ”
Chen Afu smiled, "Of course you heard it right, Brother Heng did call 'master'." ”
Chu Hua smiled with crooked eyebrows, stood up and said, "I have to let my brother Heng call my mother, father, and grandma, so that my mother will be happy." ”
Chen Afu pulled her and said with a smile, "Brother Heng has been carried by the nurse to the West House and fell asleep, don't bother him." ”
The two sat down again and talked. Chen Afu quietly told Chu Hua that Chu Zhen asked him to make clothes and was rejected by her.
Chu Hua sneered, "Sister Chen did the right thing. You are my future sister-in-law, and she dares to make your mouth too arrogant. Hmph, before my third aunt returned to Beijing, the Li family was in charge of the Hou Mansion, and her temper and courage were refined, and she was still waiting for Mrs. Chen and you to visit her today. Even though Chu Zhen didn't know the height of the sky, she felt that she was the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, and everyone had to wait for her. The Peach Blossom Banquet is a flower-viewing banquet held by the princess of Anjun, and the wealthy families in the capital will go to participate. Chu Zhen wanted to wear different clothes to participate in the peach blossom banquet, and she must have wanted to find a good mother-in-law. Their mother and daughter are a joke in the capital, but their horizons are still high......"
Chen Afu smiled, took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, and said, "That Second Mrs. Luo is very good at talking." She always had some minds, and Mrs. Luo said in public that she was "beautiful and beautiful", and her intuition was not praising herself, but a feeling of "serving people with Israel".
Chu Hua heard Chen Afu's words and whispered, "My second aunt has always wanted to marry one of her concubines to my brother. She pursed her lips and said, "She really dares to think that no matter how chaotic my mother's family is, no matter how much my brother continues to string, it is not something that she can climb high as a concubine of a fourth-grade official." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that Chen Afu's father was also a fourth-grade official, and Chen Afu's identity was even worse than that of a concubine. Her face turned red, and she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look down on Sister Chen." No matter what your background is, my brother is really pleasing to you, my grandfather, third uncle, third aunt, especially Sister Yan'er, they all like you, and I like you too. ”
Chen Afu laughed and hurriedly comforted, "I know that Sister Chu is unintentional, and my life experience is like this." At the beginning, I was also reluctant to accept Chu ...... because of my background."
Her face turned red and she quickly stopped. This is ancient times, and the person in front of him is Chu Lingxuan's sister, so it's hard to talk about the matter between her and him......
Chu Huazheng was happy to hear this, and when he saw Chen Afu stopping, he hurriedly said, "Sister Chen continued, you didn't accept my brother, what did my brother do to win your heart?" ”
Chen Afu waved his hand and said, "What, no, don't talk nonsense." ”
Chu Hua didn't believe it, and pulled Chen Afu to let her continue. The two of them were pulling and giggling, and Chen Afu felt a little like the fight she had with her girlfriends in her previous life.
At the end, Chen Afu asked again, "Second Master Luo also serves in Shizhou Mansion?" ”
Chu Hua shook his head and said, "My second uncle is in Xichuan Province. Because my grandmother is still there, my uncle and uncle are not separated. My grandmother was sick and paralyzed in bed, so my second uncle asked my second aunt to live in Shizhou Mansion with a few children, saying that he was honoring my grandmother on his behalf. ”
While the two were talking, Chu Lingxuan came back again. Seeing that Chen Afu and Chu Hua were holding hands and talking happily, his eyes were full of smiles. He asked, "What do you say, so happy?" ”
Chu Hua smiled, "We don't tell my brother the secret." Then he asked, "Is that man gone?" Brother too, why did you bring him here, just don't let him see Sister Yan'er. How ruthless he was at the beginning, what a good person he is now. ”
Chu Lingxuan said, "No matter what he is, he is also our father." He came to Yan'er's birthday banquet today, so it's not good to stop him out of the door. He also said that he wanted to see the children, so my grandfather asked me to bring him. ”
He said to Chen Afu again, "Let's go back to Tangyuan in three days, you can go with us." ”
Chen Afu shook his head and said, "No, when I came, Dabao cried very sadly, and I promised him to go back earlier." ”
Chu Lingxuan was very reluctant to Chen Afu, but when he heard that she had moved Dabao out, he had to give up.
Xia Yue reminded Chen Afu, "Big girl, I heard that the play is almost over, you should go and meet your wife." ”
Chen Afu got up and said to Chu Lingxuan, "Uncle, I'll go first." ”
Chu Lingxuan said, "I'll send you off tomorrow morning." ”
Chen Afu nodded, and said to Chu Hua again, "After Sister Chu went to visit Abbot Chen, she will stay in Tangyuan for a few more days, and I can also accompany you well." ”
Chu Hua said yes and accompanied her to Guiyuan, where the church would sing.
There are some Kunqu operas in the previous life, and Chen Afu can't understand a word of what is sung, but the costumes and appearances of these people are very good-looking.
After more than a quarter of an hour, the play was over, and the Chen Afu sisters said goodbye to Grandma Luo. Grandma Luo Si quietly apologized to the Jiang family and Chen Afu again, saying that the Li family was a mallet and asked them not to take it to heart.
Jiang took Grandma Luo's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, niece, I won't be like a person who doesn't know what to do." ”
Chen Afu glanced at the Li family, who was bidding farewell to other female guests in the distance, and was seen as a joke by others and didn't know how the Chu family could marry such a person.
