Chapter 1179: Simple
Mrs. Xia has been in poor health for a few years, since Chan Yi got married, there is no junior around her to point fingers at her, Mrs. Xia has been letting herself go day by day, and she is not very healthy, the original meal is seven points full spontaneously sent out the dishes and chopsticks, but this time it is met with a smooth mouth, always to eat a few more bites, until now when the stomach is uncomfortable, it is the majority, so that the people serving below are helpless, every time the house is equipped with pills, and it is the turn of Fushoutang, always with a few more pills to help digestion.
And since the juniors in the family got married, Mrs. Xia saw the birth of the eldest daughter of the Xia family with her own eyes, and the spirit in her heart became more and more relaxed, so since the affairs of the family were taken over by the eldest granddaughter-in-law, she was also relieved to be an old feudal monarch, and she didn't care about the trivial matters in the back house on weekdays, only being a birthday star, and at home she was about to save the rules of the morning and dusk provinces, so although she heard some rumors about the affairs of the back house at home, she didn't know it completely.
At this time, when I heard Chanyi say this, I couldn't help but be a little surprised: "How many people are in the family?" Also, after your two sisters-in-law enter the door, there are naturally more people than before, you don't think they are noisy, and when you come back in the future, grandmother asked the people under them to be more restrained, and not to make trouble in front of you......"
"Where do you want to go!" Chan Yizhi frowned, she looked at her grandmother's sometimes clear and sometimes confused appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, grandmother's body is not very good on weekdays, she has not been in Yunfu City for several years now, and she just came back to see her grandmother's body almost, how can she look confused again at this time, "Grandmother, I'm talking about those people in my father's room, there are too many people, don't you think it's noisy?"
Old Madam Xia tilted her head and thought about it, as if her thoughts were still stuck in the previous few years, and looked at Chanyi in confusion.
"Aunt Yan's slut is making trouble again?" After thinking about it for a long time, Mrs. Xia thought of such a person, and then became a little angry, "Call that slut, I want to ask her well, where is she who can't stand her, and ask her to do this to our Xia family!"
Chanyi was a little surprised, looked at the cow woman beside her who had been waving at her, and held back all the words she wanted to say.
"Grandmother, have you forgotten? Aunt Yan has now been put in the Huangjue Temple, and she will never make trouble in the mansion again, so you can relax!"
After repeatedly appeasing Mrs. Xia for a few words, Mrs. Xia nodded in understanding, "If she makes trouble again, you will let people know me, even if she is the aunt of the prince, she is also a concubine of my Xia family, so our family will not have to offer her up!"
After babbling a few words, Mrs. Xia was a little sleepy, but she was still reluctant to leave, pulled Chanyi's arm, and advised: "Don't leave so soon, grandmother hasn't seen you for a long time, let the big kitchen add a few dishes, and eat at grandmother's place today." β
The sun was still shining outside, so Mrs. Xia left Chanyi for dinner, but Chanyi couldn't refuse, so she had to smile and respond, and after putting Mrs. Xia to sleep, she called all the people serving below to the tea room on the side.
"What the hell is going on? What happened to Grandmother? Doesn't she know what's going on at home?"
Mrs. Xia is still alive in the previous few years, when she came over a few days ago, Mrs. Xia had no energy, only took her hand and said a few words and fell asleep, she didn't have time to find so many abnormalities, and this time she found many things that she hadn't found last time, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Mrs. Niu looked left and right, and found that the few people who served together were a little silent, she pursed her lips, gritted her teeth and stepped forward to say: "It's really that the old lady suffered a few times a few years ago, and she had nowhere to vent, so she became what she is today." β
Chanyi raised her eyebrows and looked at the cow woman with a puzzled expression.
"What do you mean to be angry a few times? Who was angry with my grandmother? Did something big happen at home a few years ago?" Chanyi frowned and thought about it, but even though she thought about it all over again, she didn't sort things out.
Or the cow woman couldn't bear to see Chanyi hurt her mind like this, and told the truth:" A few years ago, because the prince and the princess went to Sichuan and Guizhou, the lord has been squeezed out in the court, and then there was a period of time in the house, no one dared to speak loudly, for fear of annoying the lord, the old lady and the lord were often in dispute during this period of time, until later the lord accepted a lot of concubines in the back house, the old lady always had to say two sentences when she saw the lord, and the lord never came to the old lady, there was a time of trouble, the old lady was going to sell the concubines in the old lady's room, and the old lady argued with the old lady, and that time was also the most fierce one, after the old lady quarreled with the lord, half of the house was smashed, People also almost suffered a stroke, and after that, it was not as good as day by day, and the spirit was also worse, but the lord still did not change his style, that is, we people did not feel good when they saw it, princess, you said, the old lady herself was not good, so she was always under pressure, and it would only get worse day by day. β
Chanyi was furious when she heard the end.
"My mother can't control my father, and my grandmother will be sick like this because of my father's anger, so why don't I mention it in the letter? Are you still afraid that I, who is a daughter, will know these dirty things about my father? Since my father doesn't want a future, then I will fulfill my father, so why bother to let others be implicated?"
Chanyi didn't like Xia Shijing's style, but when she heard such a thing at this time, she was even more angry, she stood up and walked to Dongnuan Pavilion.
"Eh, princess, wait, don't be so impatient, don't be impulsive!" Niu Pozi was so frightened that she hurriedly went to stop her, but where could she stop Chanyi, almost a few steps, and she threw Niu Pozi behind.
Jinping has been by Chanyi's side for a long time, although she also knows Chanyi's temper and temperament, but this is the first time she has seen Chanyi have such a big fire, and she can almost feel the anger in her heart from Chanyi's walking steps.
"Princess, you are so angry that you have taken care of a room of concubines, I am afraid that the friendship between father and daughter will be damaged in the future, you should bear with it for the time being, let's find a way!"
Chanyi rarely has such an angry time, how Mrs. Xia calculated for her in the previous life seems to be still in front of her, but in this life, Mrs. Xia has become like this, compared with the previous life, it is not even better, which makes Chanyi very scared in her heart, she does not want to let Mrs. Xia go back to the old road of the previous life, she hopes that Mrs. Xia can live for a long time, can see the children and grandchildren, and watch the great-grandchildren and great-grandchildren run all over the ground.
That's why she is so angry now, and the last bit of respect for Xia Shijing, the father, has disappeared with Mrs. Xia's illness.
"The friendship between father and daughter has long ceased to exist when he only regarded Aunt Yan's clothes as a treasure in his palm and me as a roadside grass, I just respected him as the head of the Xia family, so I tolerated and retreated, hoping that he could treat his mother and grandmother well, but he couldn't do any of these two, how could I bear it?"
In ordinary people's families, what is her father like, Chanyi is not very clear, she only knows her own father, and she must not be called a good word.
went to the Dongnuan Pavilion, Xie knew that Chanyi came over today, and went to Fushoutang first, so he didn't let anyone call Chanyi, but helped the eldest daughter-in-law Xie Feiyun to have a baby in the Dongnuan Pavilion.
"What's wrong? Wanwan, there's not quite something wrong with your face!" Xie Shi only glanced at Chanyi, and then saw that there was something wrong with Chanyi, and stood up in shock, and hurriedly pulled Chanyi's hand, "Come and sit down with your mother and tell your mother what's wrong?"
Chanyi looked up at Xie Shi with a firm expression: "Mother, go and order someone to call Ya Po, I will sell all those things in the back house!"
"What's wrong with you?" Xie Shi looked at Chanyi inexplicably, "Those people don't get in your way, why do you need to be like them, there are your father's people on the left and right, when your father comes back and knows this, he will definitely lose his temper, eh, Wanwan, your mother knows, but since they have become this step, don't pay attention to them, let him go!"
Xie Feiyun also saw Chanyi so angry for the first time, although he didn't approve of Xie's approach, but in the end, it was not good to make any remarks about other people's affairs, and he also persuaded: "Yes, Wanwan, you have been impulsive since you were a child, but you are angry with them again at this time? It's not a serious person, it's not even a thing, you don't need to be angry with them, with this kung fu, it's better to think more about it with me, and wait for the birth of this baby, what kind of small clothes should I make for him, I think Sister An still has the remaining small clothes, so you don't have to spend so much time......"
"I've decided, I have to get rid of those things!" Chanyi looked angry, "Also, grandmother's health is not very good, and there is no cool place at home, I still have a small attic by the Bihu Lake, which can be vacated for grandmother to recuperate, and after a while, I will be ordered to prepare things, and I will move my grandmother's things over today, and I will pick up my grandmother tomorrow." β
Xie Shi was taken aback, "How is this good? Your grandmother agreed? Even if your grandmother agreed, your father would not agree, and your grandmother should not have been taken care of by you, so how could she move to your house? Have you discussed this matter with the prince? It is not your own mansion, but the palace, you have made such a rash decision, what if the prince is reluctant?"
Chan Yi looked stubborn, and when she heard Xie Shi say this, she immediately sent someone under her to pass the word to Chu Shaoyuan, and her resolute speed almost stunned Xie Shi and Xie Feiyun.
After a while, the people under his hands came back and said: "The prince said, everything is up to the princess to decide, and said that anyway, there are many idle courtyards in the house, and if the princess misses her mother, it is okay to invite her mother to live with her for a few days." β
Xie Shi had always known that Chu Shaoyuan loved Chongchanyi, but this was the first time she saw Chu Shaoyuan completely agree to Chanyi's decision without even asking, and she couldn't help but feel a little inappropriate.
"Wanwan, if you act like this, I'm afraid that you will be talked about, after all, this is not Chuangui, it's Yunfu City, should you be patient or have to be patient......"
"Mother has endured enough, but what is the result of patience? Now I will clean up my father's back house, if my mother is not happy, my mother can stand aside and watch, after all, my father is the last to count, my mother has worked hard all these years, and I will do the things in the future!"
Chanyi has never been a person who says the same, she is used to thinking about others, but this time it doesn't matter who says it, even Xiao Qing was shocked.
Xiao Qing originally just came back from her mother's house, she brought a lot of Xiao Rui gave her some herbs and ointments, in case of unforeseen needs on the road, this trip Xia Mingche went to Huguang, originally it was a plan to be released, his foundation in Yunfu City is still too shallow, if he has some political achievements outside, it is better to come back and directly enter the sixth department as a waiter, so this time Xiao Qing followed Xia Mingche to make up his mind that he would not be able to come back within a few years.
She had just finished listening to her father's chatter, and only then did she step into the house with her front foot, and she heard what was going on in the house with her back foot, so that she didn't even care about the things in her hand, and threw them to the next person in a hurry over.
When Xie Shi saw Xiao Qing, it was like seeing a savior, and he took her hand, "Come and persuade Wanwan, how can you make your own decisions on such a big matter?"
Just after listening to the ins and outs of the matter, Xiao Qing shook Xie's hand vigorously, turned his head and said to Chanyi: "That's right, mother is right!" After these two sentences were said loudly, he squeezed his eyebrows and said to Chanyi, "Good job!" Then he turned back to comfort Xie Shi, followed Xie Shi's words, and said, "It's not a matter of a day or two that my father-in-law is so ridiculous, we as juniors naturally can't persuade him, so we can only watch, if you act like this, won't your father-in-law lose any prestige at all?" β
After these few words were finished, Xie Shi also noticed that it was not, and hurriedly looked up at Xiao Qing, and then at Xie Feiyun and Chanyi, who were smiling and enduring, and patted Xiao Qing's hand fiercely: "You monkey! Let you persuade Wanwan, but you are talking back!"
Xiao Qing looked at Xie Shi with an innocent face: "Mother, you have wronged people by saying this, I thought so, what do you want me to say? Is it good to say that my father-in-law is doing this against my conscience? Eh, this is too embarrassing!"
A few words dispelled the sorrow on Xie's face, and he burst out laughing in an instant, and couldn't help but pat Xiao Qing's hand again and again: "Tell me about you as a monkey, if you go to Huguang in the future, how can I live!"
"Mother is panicking, isn't there still me and my sister-in-law?" Chan Yi came up at the right time to be funny, and was slapped away by Xie Shi in disgust.
"You only have the share of causing trouble for me, where is it like Qing'er, with a pure heart, not as calm and sophisticated as Sister Fei'er, you are such a monkey, you will only make trouble for me!"
Chan Yi hurriedly shook Xie Shi reluctantly: "Mother's heart is biased to the heels! Who is crawling out of your belly, I don't look like me, but like two sisters-in-law, such favoritism, do you really think it's okay, mother?"
The room seemed to be suddenly free of the tension just now, and laughter and laughter resumed.
It's just that outside the courtyard, in the courtyard where the concubines of the Xia family live, Ya Po is following Jinping to look at these people who are about to be sold out of the mansion one by one, many of them are very beautiful, and Ya Po looks excited.
"These, these people are all selling?" Ya Po has been doing this business for a long time, and it is the first time she has met such a large number of good-looking women being sold at the same time, and her heart has calculated at once, and the idea of what price these people can sell after handling, and how and how to make a profit, came out of nowhere.
Jinping nodded, ignoring the crying and shouting of those concubines, frowned and said: "Sell farther, don't let them appear in Yunfu City again, it's best to sell far away from Beizhili, so that the master will be upset." β
This is a yard where all the people have committed taboos! Ya Po had a bottom in her heart, so she smiled and said: "Come on! You can relax and keep you satisfied!"
"We want to see the master! you can't do this to us!" There are smart people among the concubines, who know that Jinping is just a henchman and can't play a role, and they understand that only Xia Shijing is their savior now, and they cry and shout for Jinping to get out of the way.
But Jinping was originally ordered by Chanyi to sell these people, where could they give them a way out, at this time with a few five big and three thick guards, to a pestle there, just like the angry eyes in the temple, it was daunting, a few concubines who wanted to break through to the beginning of the attempt, they were stopped back, and the momentum fell to the ground, gritting their teeth in pain, so that some other people didn't dare to have such thoughts at all, so they had to cry and shout to let Jinping get up.
"The loudest cry will sell you to the kiln, and the second-class will sell you to suffer in the garden, and if you cry again, you will be sold to a poor place to be a concubine!" The women in the courtyard cried, and there were sharp shouts, they were all stopped by Ya Po's words, her eyes were cold on these concubines, she sold many people every day, and she saw people very accurately, these concubines were first-class in making peace, if they really let them go to those places, they would not be any of them.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the voices in the courtyard were quiet, and the tears on their faces were eager to suck back, and they didn't dare to complain any more.
The matter of the back house was solved so quietly, Chanyi had a dinner with Mrs. Xia and angrily, and when she was about to go home, Xia Shijing had not come back, Chanyi left Jinxin by Xie's side, in case Xia Shijing suddenly became troubled.
When she returned to Prince An's mansion, the sky was already dark, the clouds on the horizon were pressed one by one, looking a little dull, the weather was a little hot and restless, it was already a hot summer, and there was a heavy amount of water vapor deposited in the air, as if it could not be released, and it was suffocated there.
Chu Shaoyuan also just came back from the yamen, he has been a little busy these days, and he has not come back before dark, when he saw Chan Yi changing clothes in the house, he hugged her in a few steps.
"Have you been back to your mother's house today?"
Although the hug was full of the smell of sweat, Chan Yi inexplicably felt that the smell was very reassuring, did not turn around, there was a smile floating on his face, nodded lightly, and then shook his head: "Okay, not good, grandmother's illness is very worrying, mother's words, I have sent away the people in the courtyard of the back house today, it is estimated that my father will lose his temper with my mother when he comes back tonight, but fortunately, I left Jinxin, if my father dares to do it to my mother, Jinxin will not let my father move my mother so easily." β
Even if the title is still called "father", Chanyi has already regarded Xia Shijing as the most ordinary and ordinary person in her heart, no, maybe it is not even ordinary, it can already be said that she is such a person who is an enemy.
Chu Shaoyuan noticed that Chanyi was a little depressed, and gently rubbed her while hugging her, while coaxing her: "Things at home are always like this, and the first few years have been like this, you still have to look away, and besides, didn't your mother say anything? β
It's also embarrassing to be so bitter and happy, Chanyi smiled, turned around and looked at Chu Shaoyuan: "You don't know, my sister came to me today and said that she wanted me to keep the Zhu family's bloodline, tell me what is going on?"
Chu Shaoyuan's expression suddenly became a little cold, "She knows that it must be useful to find you, but it's a pity that the Zhu family has repeatedly died, and even I can't turn a blind eye." β
Originally, Zhu Yu's death had brought the Zhu family down from the cusp, as long as the Zhu family had lived in peace in recent years, he was not the kind of person who could not tolerate people, as long as Zhu and Zhu Bi could still be used by him, even if the Zhu family chose the wrong side at this time, it was not a big deal, but it was a pity that the Zhu family was stubborn and self-serving, and they were bent on supporting the fourth child, and they didn't look at the fourth child who is now also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself.
"Eh, sister, she is also a hard worker, and her child was given by the four princes...... Tell me how there can be such a person in the world? He didn't even put his own wife and children at ease, he didn't know that a woman was pregnant in October, and even if she had a miscarriage, she would die?" Chanyi has always felt uncomfortable since Zhu told her about this.
"The fourth person, he's not a person at all, that's a poisonous snake!"
Chu Shaoyuan's eyes were cold, as soon as he thought of the few photos he had with the four princes before, as well as the things he encountered when he first returned to the palace, he knew deeply that this fourth child was definitely not an easy person to deal with, but it was he himself who was not easy to deal with, not those things in his hands, for so many years, whether it was the fourth child or Ning Guogong, they had always been attached to Anbei Hou, and Anbei Hou fell too fast, causing Yu Ning Guogong to take over those things, so he was sent to Chuangui, and the fourth child did not have a really powerful person in his hands, so he wanted to free his hands to grab things with himself, and his tail was not well hidden, how to rob itοΌ
"Don't think about these things later, even if Zhu comes to beg you, it depends on whether you are happy or not, not to mention that they are dying by themselves, what do they have to do with you? I have been running for a day, have you had dinner? I came back early today, thinking that we will swim in the lake for a while, and eat some cold food on the flower boat by the way, do you think it is okay?"
As soon as summer comes, Chu Shaoyuan likes to eat some cold food, put the boiled noodles in cold water to heat up, or eat a bowl of the most common chazuke, as long as he is with Chanyi, he is always happy.
Chanyi often let Chu Shaoyuan go, but today Chanyi had just had dinner with Mrs. Xia, and in the face of the dishes on the half table, she didn't seem to have such an appetite, she let Chu Shaoyuan eat it vigorously, but she only held the mung bean smoothie, Chu Shaoyuan knew at a glance that she must have eaten at Xia's house, because she didn't want him to eat alone, so she didn't tell him.
He narrowed his eyes wickedly, and when Chan Yi scooped up a spoonful of mung bean smoothie and sent it to his mouth, he reached out and sent the mung bean smoothie in her hand to him, and swallowed it in one gulp, with a smug light in his eyes.
"You, just eat well, where is someone who eats half of the food to eat these desserts?" Chan Yi glanced at him angrily, and pushed the food in front of him to him, "Eat quickly, there is still mung bean smoothie, I asked my subordinates to prepare two bowls, and you haven't eaten yet!"
Chu Shaoyuan saw that Chanyi was so serious, but he didn't have the fun of teasing her, and after eating the meal in a few bites, he pushed open the window of the flower boat, and the semi-circular moon shone into the window, making Chu Shaoyuan frown.
"It's almost the middle of the month, the days are really fast!" Chan Yi sighed, seeing that Chu Shaoyuan didn't reach out to ask for the mung bean smoothie, thinking about his previous gluttony, he scooped up the mung bean smoothie in his hand and fed him a small spoonful of food, "I counted the days with my mother today, and in about half a month, the day when Xian Yi left the pavilion has arrived, this blink is really fast." β
Chanyi went back these two times, but she didn't see Xianyi, not that Chanyi didn't want to see her, but that Xianyi said that it was about to be the day of leaving the pavilion, and she wanted to embroider the pillow well, so she didn't come out of the embroidery building.
Chan Yi didn't have any opinion on this result, after all, she didn't want to see Xian Yi, and Xian Yi did this just in line with her thoughts.
"It's been three months since we came out of Chuangui, right?" Chu Shaoyuan suddenly remembered that there were still some things to deal with on Chuangui's side, not that he suddenly remembered that he had been dealing with it recently, but when he got along with Chanyi, he always automatically threw aside all those things that took his brain, and simply didn't think about anything else.
