Chapter 150: The Human Heart
Mrs. Meng sat on the couch and looked at Mama Wu in the accompanying room in amazement, and only spoke after a while,
"It's not that it's the Tang family that is being discussed, how did it become the Cheng family in the blink of an eye?"
"Back to Mrs., I said that it was the Cheng family that was originally discussed, but because of the temper of the prince, I didn't dare to speak out, for fear that if the marriage could not be discussed, it would hurt the reputation of Miss Gu Jiabiao, which made people misunderstand that it was the Tang family."
Mama Wu respectfully lowered her hands and replied, Mrs. Meng wrinkled her brows, looked out of the window in a daze, and after a while, she turned her head to look at Mama Wu and asked:
"I always feel that there is something strange here, you say, the ancestor has been thinking about accepting this Li Xiaonuan, doesn't this prince of Runan not know? Why did you suddenly discuss a kiss? Do you know about this? ”
Mama Wu quickly raised her eyes and swept over Mrs. Meng, lowered her head again, and replied respectfully:
"Back to Mrs., the slave maid can't figure it out, Mrs. Yuan also said that the master has seen this Miss Li, and I don't know if the master saw it alone, or if he saw it with the prince."
Mrs. Meng's brows were twisted into one place, and after a while, she seemed to have some enlightenment, and said in a low voice:
"Could it be that the master wants to accept it, and the prince of Runan also thinks about beauty, so he takes the lead? How dare he rob people from his master? How did he explain to his grandfather? ”
Mama Wu glanced at Mrs. Meng, lowered her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and suggested in a low voice:
"Madam, do you want to invite Grandpa Guo to come over and discuss?"
Mrs. Meng glanced at Mama Wu obliquely, and said unhappily:
"Fooling this little thing, do you still need a working father? I'm not a three-year-old either."
Mama Wu shuddered slightly, and immediately replied respectfully:
"It's the slave who is confused, Madame forgives her sins"
Mrs. Meng looked at Mama Wu condescendingly, and her tone became stern,
"You are an old man in the house, and you don't have an errand for a day or two, but let you inquire about something, how can you make such a big mistake? Can't even tell which family is asking for a kiss? If they are all like you, won't this house be in chaos? I'm just three heads and six arms, and it's hard to take care of them."
Mama Wu hurriedly knelt on the ground in panic, kowtowed and asked for sin, Mrs. Meng lost her temper, breathed a long sigh of relief, her heart seemed to be a little calmer, and she raised her finger impatiently and ordered:
"If you know how to kowtow when you get up, can't you learn to be smarter? It's also a shame that I often mention it, but it's not like that, and I don't know what basket I have to poke out."
Mama Wu hurriedly got up, carefully lowered her hands and stood up, Mrs. Meng lost her temper, her mood improved a lot, she drank a cup of tea, asked for a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to Zhou Jingran concentratingly.
Early the next morning, Cheng Ke went to the household department to complete the mission, and without any further delay, he rushed back to the palace, and talked to the king of Runan in the inner study for half an hour behind closed doors, and then set off to rush back to Jingxi Road.
Gu Yunhuan heard that Li Xiaonuan and Cheng Ke were engaged, reported it to her mother-in-law, and hurried back to the ancient mansion to find Li Xiaonuan in Mingyuan Hall.
Gu Yunhuan asked Mrs. Li to say goodbye, in front of Mrs. Li, she didn't dare to say much, and waited with Li Xiaonuan for Mrs. Li to take medicine, rested, the two returned to the east wing, Gu Yunhuan hurriedly withdrew the girls, pulled Li Xiaonuan to sit on the couch, and said anxiously:
"Xiao Nuan, how can you marry him? Marry that ...... How disgusting"
Li Xiaonuan blinked, stunned for a while, half-open mouth, didn't know what to say, Gu Yunhuan patted Li Xiaonuan's hand, and continued anxiously:
"Why don't you consult with me? Look at it, now that this little decision has been made, what should I do? What did the ancestors think? actually allowed you into the Cheng family? Xu gave such a ...... Xiao Nuan, why don't you understand, the ancestor is always the ancestor of the ancient family, can't you ...... Alas, you have to think about yourself, you can't listen to others in everything, why did you agree? ”
Gu Yunhuan was sad, tears poured out at once, and he choked up and said:
"Xiao Nuan, you are still young, you don't know this man's style, this can't be humane...... Alas, how bitter this woman is......"
Li Xiaonuan only felt that a warm current in his heart choked into his nose, and tears poured out all of a sudden, Gu Yunhuan looked at Li Xiaonuan's tears, couldn't hold back anymore, and sobbed and cried.
Li Xiaonuan hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, got up and took out the thermos from the warm pot, poured a cup of tea and served it to Gu Yunhuan, Gu Yunhuan took the cup, looked up at Li Xiaonuan standing in front of the couch, Li Xiaonuan looked at her with a smile, and said in a low voice:
"Second sister first drink tea to moisten her throat, don't worry."
Gu Yunhuan took the cup, drank the tea in a few sips, Li Xiaonuan poured her another cup before sitting in front of her, and said with a smile:
"Second sister, this family business, although it is not much better, but it is not so bad, that Cheng Ke, the bastard is a bastard, but those rumors, in the end, in the end, before the ancestor nodded and agreed, he also inquired carefully, you can rest assured, the ancestor loves me the same as the second sister, and he will not push me into the fire pit if he says anything, although the second sister can rest assured, the ancestor said, whoever I marry, I can live a good life, marry him, I will also live well, second sister rest assured."
Gu Yunhuan looked at Li Xiaonuan suspiciously, Li Xiaonuan took her hand, shook it gently, and said with a smile:
"Second sister, although you can relax, although Cheng Ke is a bastard, if you want to bully me, it's not so easy to bully whom."
Gu Yunhuan squinted at Li Xiaonuan, for a while, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded,
"Then I'm here to comfort you, but I want you to comfort me, Xiao Nuan, we women, there are a bunch of rules to abide by, men don't have these rules to abide by The mother-in-law said, the rules of Runan Wangfu are heavy, and the most important heir, you hurry up and give birth to a son, this heel will stand firm."
Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Yunhuan with a smile and a smile, shrugged his shoulders, and reluctantly agreed,
"Okay, I'll give birth as soon as I become a parent"
Gu Yunhuan looked at Li Xiaonuan carefully, let out a long sigh of relief, laughed, blinked, leaned over Li Xiaonuan's ear, and said in a low voice:
"When the time comes, I'll send you some home remedies to ensure that you get a man in one fell swoop"
Cheng Ke rushed to Suzhou Xingyuan on Jingxi Road all the way, Zhou Jingran took people to see the water conservancy and river workers, Cheng Ke sent Yuanshan to find Zhou Jingran to report the letter, took a bath by himself, and slept comfortably.
In the evening, when Zhou Jingran came back, Cheng Ke had already woken up and was sitting in the main room refreshed and waiting for him to come back.
The two ate, the little servant came up with tea, Cheng Ke held the cup, leisurely tasting tea, Zhou Jingran stared at him for a long time, sighed and sighed:
"Uncle agreed to you so easily? It's too cheap, you can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out, I got a letter before, but I haven't figured it out until now, you say, uncle, this is too used to you, right? ”
Cheng Ke shook his head proudly and ignored him, Zhou Jingran continued to sigh,
"I knew this was the case, why bother so much, I told my uncle earlier, this person would have married into the door"
"If I had said it earlier, I might not have been able to marry in."
Cheng Ke said slowly, Zhou Jingran looked at him obliquely, was silent for a long time, and nodded,
"That's the same, this is also about timing, it's too early and late, I'm afraid it won't work out, the Tang family's affairs, Suiyun is such a difficult person, just let it be given to you?"
Cheng Ke raised his hand and stroked his forehead, and said with a face full of distress:
"Sir, who is willing to suffer? This is a ...... of retreat Alas, it's hard to put into words, I promised my husband that I would pay a daughter-in-law to give him another disciple in the future. ”
Zhou Jingran looked at Cheng Ke with wide eyes, and stayed for a long time before he spoke.
"Lose a daughter-in-law? Why do you still have a disciple? Your Nafuli...... It's just you, you haven't married yet, and your son and daughter will let you pay it out? ”
Cheng Ke nodded dejectedly, waved his hand and said:
"Anyway, this matter is far away, let's agree first, let's talk about it, this disciple will forget it, this daughter-in-law's business, alas, let Xiao Nuan deal with him in the future, anyway, the old man is in Xiao Nuan's hands, and he must only suffer a loss, that Gu Xiao is what he fell into Xiao Nuan's trap and had to accept it."
Zhou Jingran raised his eyebrows, Cheng Ke straightened up, and his eyebrows fluttered and he explained the matter of backgammon in detail, patted the couch, and said with a laugh:
"After Xiao Nuan left, within an hour, the old man figured out the doorway of the backgammon, it turned out that just a few tricks were bluffing gadgets, but the old man was bluffed by her, and took a piece of wood to enter the door"
Zhou Jingran raised his eyebrows, pounded the couch and laughed, the two laughed for a while, Zhou Jingran stopped laughing, looked at Cheng Ke, and asked with concern:
"Xiao Nuan's unsubscribing and rebooking matters, but everything has been handled properly? There are no rumors coming out, right? This is related to Xiao Nuan's reputation, but it can't be careless. ”
Cheng Ke's face sank,
"After all, it was a small decision...... I consulted with my father all night...... The father explained to the mother carefully, asked her to go to Yuncui Palace early in the morning, and handed the words to her aunt. ”
Cheng Ke paused, waved his hand to Qingping and Luo Chuan, who were standing in the corner of the house, and commanded in a deep voice:
"Look outside."
Qingping and Luo Chuan understood, and hurriedly went out to guard the door.
Cheng Ke turned his head to look at Zhou Jingran and said in a low voice:
"In the afternoon, my aunt called me in and passed on the emperor's words, and the emperor said, 'Tell King Runan, don't be too careful, my four princes are all princes.'"
Zhou Jingran's expression became solemn, he thought carefully for a long time, let out a long sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Cheng Ke, and there was a smile in his eyes.
"Since they are all princes, the eldest brother is only one of the four princes, and I am also one of the four princes, everyone is a prince, and they are all just a prince, let's not be too careful"
Cheng Ke smiled and nodded,
"Father said that Xiao Nuan's unsubscription and rebooking can't be concealed, so it's better to simply reveal it to King Cheng'......s mansion."
Zhou Jingran's eyes narrowed, and he clapped his hands gently,
"Big brother's temper, let's just wait for the excerpt of this impeachment, but it's too aggrieved."
