635. in the first place
Xia Shijing didn't expect Chu Shaoyuan to be so straightforward, and he was stunned for a while.
Chu Shaoyuan was a little tired, how many years have Xia Shijing still not grown at all, no wonder his father would be disgusted with him, so that Shen Du would press on his head, even if Chen Mi, who was also Shaoqing of Dali Temple, did not promote him.
"Originally, I shouldn't have intervened in the things in my father-in-law's house, but my father-in-law has always heard of this in the family and everything, and now the eldest brother has just gotten married, and the middle feeds in the family are presided over by the sister-in-law, and the father-in-law's inner house is not peaceful, so how does the sister-in-law think of the father-in-law? What's more, the second brother is about to get married after the New Year, if the Xiao family hears that the father-in-law's house is in chaos, with the temper of General Xiao, maybe they will regret marrying Miss Xiao, or is it because the father-in-law wants the second brother's marriage to be impossible? ”
Chu Shaoyuan's faint words seemed to be a stick, and a stick hit Xia Shijing's head, making his eyes widen.
He looked at Chu Shaoyuan dumbfounded, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, this can't be, the Xiao family and our Xia family have passed the Geng post date, how can they regret it?" ”
Chu Shaoyuan sneered, he was really too lazy to talk to him, and threw down a sentence: "Then the father-in-law will continue to mess around like this, see if it will be." ”
Then he walked away, leaving Xia Shijing alone in the outer hall of the Youran Courtyard, still staring at his eyes and pondering.
Xia Mingchen and Xia Mingche, who were waiting for Chu Shaoyuan in the side hall, saw him come out alone and hurriedly greeted him.
Xia Mingchen was straight-hearted, and asked directly: "What is the matter with your father?" ”
Chu Shaoyuan smiled faintly, and didn't tell the truth, just said: "It's something in government affairs, it's not too important, let's talk about Fujian before, if we talk about the current situation in Fujian, it's not very good, but it can't be said to be too bad, some important things have been held in the hands of the uncle, although Wang Li has military power in the general army, but he is just a small chief soldier, and he doesn't have his own manpower in Fujian, and he has been suppressed by Qin Bohou all the year round, this time he can sit in the position of the chief soldier, and he also understands what is going on in his own heart. I won't and don't dare to think anything about my uncle. ”
Xia Mingche came back from Fujian, and his mind was exquisite, as soon as he saw Chu Shaoyuan's expression, he knew that his father had taken him to the outer hall before, not to talk about government affairs, there should be other things, but obviously Chu Shaoyuan didn't want to mention it, he wouldn't mention it, so he followed Chu Shaoyuan's words.
"I had seen those people when I was in Quanzhou before, the accent sounded very heavy, and the crowds looked no different from our Yan people, but I especially liked to eat pork belly and spicy cabbage, so I kept an ......eye on it at that time."
There are always many affairs in the court, especially in Fujian, Xia Mingchen and Xia Mingche already knew about the grounding of the four princes, and they knew that the emperor's next step would definitely be to send people to Fujian, and Xia Mingche can be said to be very clear about Fujian's affairs, whether it is a civil official or a military general, as long as he goes to Fujian, he can figure out a clue.
And Chu Shaoyuan is even more imperative to Fujian, he has suffered such a big loss in Fujian, if he can't hold the control of Fujian in his hands, then these hardships are not in vain!
Chu Shaoyuan listened carefully to Xia Mingche's words, raised his eyes and looked at him with a smile: "In the end, the second brother, such a method can be figured out, if this is arranged, presumably the rest of the court will not have any opinions, and he can also have a satisfactory explanation for his father." ”
Xia Mingche nodded: "It's just that Qin Bohou is still on the prince's side, and the prince still wants to interrogate him personally, and there must be some things that only the prince is suitable to ask him." ”
Chu Shaoyuan thought for a while and said: "This is not a difficult matter, if it is done this time, it will definitely be impossible for Qin Bohou to be imprisoned so indefinitely, he should know who can really give him a trace of life." ”
The matter was almost discussed, and the little maid outside the door said through the window: "The prince, the uncle, the second master, the princess and the lady are back, and now they are talking to the old lady in Fushoutang, and they sent someone to ask how many masters can have lunch in the house?" ”
Chu Shaoyuan hadn't seen her all morning since he came over with Chanyi in the morning, and he was worried that it was inappropriate for her to discuss with the Xie family in Guang'an Temple, so he was a little worried, and glanced at Xia Mingchen and Xia Mingche.
Xia Mingche sensed Chu Shaoyuan's meaning, and simply followed Chu Shaoyuan's meaning and said: "Since it has been decided, it is time to start arranging it, some things are not in a hurry, let's go to Fushoutang first, I may not have seen it for a long time." ”
Xia Mingchen thought about it, and felt that these things couldn't be rushed, so he also nodded.
When the three of them went to Fushoutang, they heard laughter in the courtyard from afar.
The little maid hurriedly opened the curtain for the three of them, and when they entered the flower hall, they saw Mrs. Xia and Xie Shi smiling all over their faces, Xie Feiyun who was standing next to her seemed to be smiling, but Chan Yi was very annoyed.
As soon as Mrs. Xia saw Chu Shaoyuan coming in, she hurriedly smiled and beckoned to him: "Good boy, you came just in time, quickly give this monkey to the leader, it's going to turn the sky upside down here." ”
Old Madam Xia had a smile on her face, it didn't seem like she was annoyed by Chanyi, but she was joking with him, he saluted and took over the conversation and said: "It's a pleasure to see your grandmother tonight, so don't worry about her in general." ”
Before he could finish speaking, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Even the smile on Xie Feiyun's face finally couldn't hold back, Chong Chanyi squeezed his eyes, and laughed so hard that he fell.
Xia Mingchen hurriedly leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xie Feiyun covered the corners of his mouth with his hand, and whispered to him: "I joked Wanwan before that my eldest brother forgot about my sister-in-law when he had a daughter-in-law, and my mother and grandmother said that she became more and more honest after getting married, I teased her with words, saying that if the prince was here, he would definitely defend her, so she was ashamed, and no one was allowed to talk about her, this is not that my grandmother deliberately asked the prince to say this, and the prince didn't even ask about the cause and effect to protect Wanwan." ”
Xia Mingchen was also happy when he heard this, and looked at Xie Feiyun several times, "If my grandmother asks me like this, I will also protect you." ”
One sentence made Xie Feiyun's face crimson with shame, and he hurriedly removed his eyes from looking at him, but his heart was as sweet as honey.
Chanyi saw that everyone was laughing at her, she pouted her lips and said loudly: "Grandmother is eccentric!" Why don't you ask Big Brother? I don't believe that the eldest brother can not favor the eldest sister-in-law, that is, the second brother will become a relative in the future, and he will also favor Sister Qing, you will only make fun of me, and you will always laugh at me every time you come back! ”
Her words made everyone even happier, she was not big in the first place, but she was also a little doll after marriage, her body bones have not fully grown, and she still looks delicate and soft, plus her pouting and soft words, it doesn't look like a tantrum, more like a coquette.
Even Chu Shaoyuan couldn't help laughing, but he was afraid that she would be really annoyed, so he blocked her with his body and whispered to her: "Okay, okay, don't be annoyed, go back and ......"
Chan Yi hurriedly glared at him, knowing that the one in his mouth must be another toss when he went back, so she was not fooled.
Chu Shaoyuan looked at her cheeks bulging, as if she had a small bun stuffed in her mouth, and wanted to reach out and poke it a few times, but she had to give up, but her hands were itchy, and he pinched her hand, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a light smile.
……
After eating, several people from the Xia family sent Chanyi and Chu Shaoyuan into the carriage, and Chanyi couldn't help pinching Chu Shaoyuan's face in the carriage.
"What do you want me to say, grandmother asked, shouldn't normal people ask what happened first?"
She was ashamed, her eyes shimmered at Chu Shaoyuan, and her eyes were a little annoyed.
Chu Shaoyuan hurriedly hugged the person in his arms and comforted him softly: "Grandmother deliberately asked this, I also want to see if our relationship is good, if I really say that, I am afraid that my grandmother and mother will worry about your life in the palace, and then talk ......" He also blurted out words subconsciously, it was his instinct engraved in his bones to protect her, how could he react otherwise?
Chanyi didn't really want to scold him, but she felt that showing this kind of friendship in front of everyone made her very ashamed, and when she heard him say this, she also knew that she didn't pay attention to it, so she gently hammered him and said softly: "Then don't laugh at me about this matter in the future!" ”
Chu Shaoyuan smiled and nodded again and again, and kissed her delicate cheek, "Are you still happy in Guang'an Temple today?" ”
Chanyi leaned into his arms, shook her head at first, and then nodded again.
"The plum blossoms in Guang'an Temple are really beautiful, they are all red plums, a large piece of all are open, although there is wind today, but in the end it is spring, not as cold as winter, the petals will fall downward, just like the petal rain, but my mother is still a little unhappy after all, I can't help but be unhappy when I look at it."
As she spoke, she thought of hearing Jinxin's announcement in the wing, so she told him about Gu Manman and Zhang Peiqing.
Chu Shaoyuan thought for a while and said, "I have already told him about my father-in-law, presumably he will not go too far in the future, as for the Liang family, the wicked have their own wicked people, you don't have to take these things to heart, but there is another thing, I want to tell you." ”
Chanyi raised her head in his arms, a little puzzled.
Being looked at by her shimmering gaze, Chu Shaoyuan was a little distracted, lowered his head slightly and kissed her on the lips, and then said: "Zhu Xuan should return to Yunfu City in two days, and there will be no place for the Zhu family to intervene in the Northwest Horse City in the future." ”
Chanyi was stunned, wasn't Zhu Xuan sent by the emperor? Why is it that people are being recalled in less than half a year?
"Father, he is suspicious," Chu Shaoyuan smiled at Chanyi's thoughtful expression, the light in his eyes flashed movingly, lying in his arms like a little milk cat, he couldn't help but rub his cheek against her hair, "Forget it later, if you didn't let Concubine Zhuang and Aunt Zhuang go to Ci'an Palace that night, I'm afraid that the current situation will not come to this point." ”
