Chapter 505: Showing Weakness

The two gossiped for a while, Chu Hua pursed his lips and laughed, put his arm around Chen Afu and said, "My grandmother asked me to ask, my sister-in-law's third sister is not married now......"

Hearing this, Chen Afu really wanted to take it and put it on the shelf. The old Xie family saw that the counterinsurgency was about to be victorious, and the daughter of the Chu family became the future princess again, Chen Shiying was very valued by the prince, and it was possible that he would enter Beijing as an official, so it seemed that he had sent someone to investigate Chen Yuqing, and he wanted to marry her again.

However, Chen Afu really has no confidence to stand up. Xie Wuye Xie Feng has been lifted in the autumn of this year, although he is a little darker, he is tall and dignified. If the older Chen Yuqing misses this person, I am afraid that he will not find such a descendant with such a good family background, appearance, talent, and character.

She smiled, "My father and mother also sent a letter from my father and mother a few days ago, saying that there are a few good families, and they are still thinking about it, so they shouldn't have decided on ......."

Xie Hua hurriedly said, "Oh, then send someone to send a letter to Lord Chen, don't settle on someone first, my fifth uncle will miss it." "He also pulled a good person for Xie Wuye, "The reason why my fifth uncle is so old and hasn't decided on a marriage is because he wants to take the road of the imperial examination, and the elders want him to find a daughter from a civil official family." If you are looking for the daughter of a military attachΓ©, I am afraid that it has already been decided. ”

Chen Afu nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll write a letter in the evening and ask someone to send it to Dingzhou Mansion tomorrow." ”

Chu Hua gossiped again, "I heard my father-in-law say, now it is rumored in the court that Lord Chen will be able to return to the capital to become an official in the future, and he will definitely be a waiter, but I don't know if it is the Ministry of Works or the Ministry of Officials." ”

Chen Afu said helplessly, "The thing that hasn't been seen has been rumored like this again." My father was unlucky that year, and it was because he was rumored that he was dissatisfied with the hearts of people......"

This year, the area under the jurisdiction of Dingzhou Prefecture has had another bumper harvest, and the yield per mu of crops such as rice, wheat, corn, and sweet potatoes is much higher than that of other places.

The emperor and the crown prince were overjoyed, and they both wanted to use Chen Shiying completely. Especially the crown prince, whether it is based on Chen Shiying's talent and character, or based on the Chu family and Chen Afu, he wants to reuse Chen Shiying.

Chen Afu has already received reliable information from Xiao Shiyi that Chen Shiying will go to the Ministry of Industry to work as a waiter in the future. Although the power of the Ministry of Officials is greater, Chen Afu still hopes that Chen Shiying will go to the Ministry of Industry. One is that there are too many people fighting for officials, and Chen Shiying is too junior compared to some people, and it is easy to be criticized for blocking the way of others. Another reason is that if Chen Shiying does a good job in the Ministry of Industry, it will be easier to ascend to the book than in the Ministry of Officials or Households.

In the evening, Marquis Chu came to Zhuxuan with a string of children. He was wearing a half-new and old stone blue straight jacket, with an ebony hairpin tied on his head, holding Xiao Yu'er in one hand and Sister Yi in the other, Brother Yu and Brother Ming grabbed his clothes, and Chu Hanyan took Xie Heng's hand and walked in front of him. Several children were noisy loudly, and Marquis Chu was not a little impatient.

Seeing him like this, Chu Hua's tears welled up. Thinking of his father in the past, he used to be heroic and heroic, and he became a second-class member when he just turned thirty. But since he was designed by that woman and was still a colt, he was forced to interrupt his career and separated his wife. Now even if the second prince and the party are defeated, the nine princes will also be helped up, but they are still crushed by the emperor. He is only 44 years old this year, and he is in the prime of life, but he can only take care of his children at home......

Everything before, after seeing such a Marquis of Chu, Chu Hua let go.

"Daddy......" Chu Hua shouted, and he choked with tears in his eyes and couldn't speak.

Hou Ye Chu saw that his daughter, who had ignored him for many years, finally called herself, and the little look of distress in her eyes, his nose was also a little sour, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Girl, Hua'er." ”

Seeing that their father and daughter were reconciled, Chen Afu was also happy. One after another, he sent people to invite the old marquis, as well as the third lady, mother and son to come to Zhuxuan for dinner.

Before eating, Xie Ling came again. Marquis Chu was happy, and pulled his father and son-in-law to drink a lot of wine.

In the next few days, Chen Afu began to be busy preparing for the reception on the 20th.

On the morning of October 18, there was a light snow in the sky, which was the first snow since the beginning of autumn. Marquis Chu stood in front of the window and watched for a while, and asked someone to bring him a cloak, before he went out with a calm face and got into the carriage to pick up Rong Zhao at Baoguo Temple.

Seeing the Marquis of Chu, who he hadn't seen for a long time, Rong Zhao instinctively wanted to complain about him, why didn't he come to the temple to see her for so long, did he still think about that slut? But seeing his cold eyes and pursed lips, the words that came out of his mouth became, "Chu Lang, it's so cold today, why are you here in person?"

This gesture is really low.

Marquis Chu was stunned and said, "Well, let's go." He was the first to go out of the house, but instead of riding in a carriage, he got on a horse.

Rong Zhao looked at the Marquis of Chu on the horse, and then looked at the snowflakes floating in the air. She knew that he didn't want to ride in a carriage with her, even if it was cold. In front of so many guards and subordinates around, she really couldn't say anything to ask him to take the carriage. I had to bite my lip and get into the carriage myself.

Marquis Chu sent Rong Zhao back to the house and said, "Princess, rest well, I'll go to the outer study." ”

As soon as he turned around, Rong Zhao grabbed his sleeve and said flatteringly, "Chu Lang, during these times in the temple, in addition to copying scriptures and reciting Buddha, I was thinking about the past......

"What happened before?" The corners of Marquis Chu's mouth slipped a trace of sarcasm, and he also stood down.

Rong Zhao said, "Yes, from the past. Chu Lang, I used to do it wrong. I shouldn't have listened to, I shouldn't have designed you like that and made you lose face...... But what can I do? Once a big mistake is made, I can't change it if I want to. Then he said in a soft voice, "Chu Lang, I really like you, and I even want you to be my pillow person even in my dreams." That's why I made such a wrong move, fell into the second place, and courted my father. Chu Lang said that a husband and wife would be a hundred days a day. We have been husband and wife for more than ten years, and we have had a sweet time, can you let go of the resentment in your heart against me, and let's live a good life in the future? The doctor said that my body is okay and I can still have children. Chu Lang, I want to give you a baby. Don't worry, even if I give birth to a boy, I won't compete with Xuan'er for the position of the son. ”

This is the method that Rong Zhao thought of in the temple - to show weakness. Now, she and her mother have completely lost the emperor's favor, and they have even more disliked the prince. The emperor is his biological father, and he may not be ruthless enough to let her become a monk. But the crown prince will not succeed to the throne, and she has only one fate, which is to become a monk.

She didn't want to become a monk, and the months spent in the monastery were extremely uncomfortable.
