Chapter 203: Soft Knife
The carriage drove into the town, entered the courtyard, and arrived at the gate of the inner courtyard, naturally someone came to pick it up, and the etiquette that the Chen Mansion should have would not be lost.
Qiaozhen looked at the maid at the door of the living room in the inner courtyard, she let out a long breath, the battle is about to start, she must be calm, she must be calm.
Someone went in to report, and after a while, there was a voice inviting them in, and Qiaozhen and Sun Juhua walked in with the maid.
Qiao Zhen's head was slightly raised, and after entering, she quickly took a look at the people in the living room.
Sitting in the first place, a middle-aged man of about forty, the man has a resolute face, a calm bearing, and a trace of fierceness on his body, if you look closely, you will find that Chen Xuanyu has inherited his appearance, but Chen Xuanyu lacks his temperish aura polished on the battlefield.
Seeing that he was sitting straight and his eyes were focused, Qiao Zhen knew that such a person was resolute and difficult to impress, but if he recognized you, he would try his best to be sincere with each other.
Next to him sat a woman who looked to be in her thirties, with a slender face and picturesque eyebrows, very delicate, but if you looked closely, you would see that the corners of her eyes were covered with fine lines, betraying her age.
Although her appearance is soft, she has a bearing and a demeanor, which has been raised for a long time, and it is not as good as it.
Chen Xuanyu sat in the first place on his left hand, he was handsome and extraordinary, his eyes looked at Qiao Zhen fixedly, and there was concern in his eyes, which made Qiao Zhen feel warm.
"Meet the old lady, the old lady has always been good? I heard that the lord won the battle and was knighted, and the old slave congratulated the lord here. Sun Juhua knelt down first, for so many years, her respect for the lord has long been integrated into her bones, kneeling and kowtowing is a really natural reaction.
"Get up." The resolute voice sounded, and Chen Pei, the prince of Zhenguo, shouted, and the people around his wife were left with Mother Sun. He's still good to her.
"Thank you, Master." Sun Juhua got up, and then knelt down at Chen Xuanyu, tears fell, and cried: "Young master, you are finally back, but you are worried about the death of the old slave." "She's genuine.
Chen Xuanyu hurriedly got up and picked up Sun Juhua, the nurse really had feelings for herself, he understood. "Mom, didn't I come back safely? You're worried, how are you doing? ”
"Good. Good, all good. Sun Juhua grabbed Chen Xuanyu's hand and couldn't stop looking at it, looking at it, the young master was thin and dark. But the spirit is fine.
"Mother Sun, the master has something to do today. Let's wait a minute. Let's let the lady of the Liu family visit the master first. Madame Yun opened her mouth softly, reminding everyone.
Qiao Zhen glanced at her, although her voice was soft, she had no good intentions, and others called her the lady of the Wang family, because she was divorced. is not from the Liu family, but she calls herself the lady of the Liu family, reminding everyone that she has been married and divorced. is to despise himself, but he has indeed married someone and has indeed been divorced, this is a fact, and he is not afraid of what people say.
Qiao Zhen bowed and saluted, and said, "The woman has seen Grandpa Guo, and I wish Grandpa Guo good health." "The voice is crisp, the words are articulated, and it is very comfortable to listen to.
Zhen Guogong actually looked at her as soon as Qiao Zhen came in, this woman was not flustered, very calm, with a natural expression, an attitude that was neither arrogant nor humble, no petty family, and he was not generous at the moment, he still didn't pick this point, if he came in with an eyeball rolling, or a person who was shaking into a ball, I am afraid that he would have brushed his sleeves away.
"Get up." Zhen Guogong shouted, and did not embarrass Qiaozhen.
Qiao Zhen got up and saluted the Duchess again: "The women of the people visit the lady, and the lady is well." ”
"Huh. Mrs. Liu is trouble-free, even the words are the same, doesn't anyone teach you etiquette? Don't even know how to say hello? Mrs. Yun didn't scream, with a smile on her face, but she provoked the rules of Qiaozhen.
"Back to Mrs., talk to the people's women's meeting, otherwise Mrs. will not be able to hear the voice of the people's women, as for etiquette, the people's women are a Zhuangzi woman naturally has not learned etiquette, and the grandfather of the country has not picked the etiquette of the people's women, and the lady picked. Hehe, the folk woman really doesn't understand what she did wrong. "If you have a soft knife, you can really do it.
"It's a clever one, my lord, he fights all year round, and he doesn't care about these little things, but these rules in our inner house are the most important thing to talk about, otherwise others will say that there are no rules in our house. The lady said yes. "Mrs. Yun is very calm, if she can't take a little woman, why should she be the head mother of the family.
"Madame, are you saying that Grandpa Guo has no rules because of his perennial war?" Qiaozhen avoids the important and light.
Mrs. Yun raised her eyebrows slightly, turned her face to look at Grandpa Xiaguo, and said with a smile: "Master, the concubine doesn't mean this, but this woman should not be underestimated." ”
Zhen Guogong glanced at his wife, nodded, and did not speak.
"Madame, is it planning to let the women stay like this, and don't you plan to let the women get up?" Qiao Zhen asked Mrs. Yun generously.
"Oh, look at me, you forgot about this mess, get up quickly." Mrs. Yun let Qiao Zhen get up, but her eyes narrowed.
"Mrs. Xie." After Qiao Zhen finished speaking, he stopped looking at her, saluted Chen Xuanyu, and said, "Son, well." ”
"Okay, please get up." Chen Xuanyu looked at Qiao Zhen's eyes softly, and finally saw Qiao Zhen during the day, and saw her clearly, she had lost some weight, but her spirit was very good.
"Sit down." Zhenguo openly asked Qiao Zhen to sit, people are not slaves of their own family, although they don't want to accept her, and they want her to retreat, but there is no need to turn her face now, so you have to be polite.
"Grandpa Xie Guo." Qiao Zhen was not polite, and sat on the stool after thanking him, sitting very straight.
"Mrs. Liu is so old this year." Mrs. Yun asked first.
"The woman is twenty-one." Qiao Zhen replied calmly.
"Oh, it's a year younger than Xuan'er, it's okay, I thought I was older than Xuan'er." Mrs. Yun seems to be gossiping, but the meaning in her words is not good.
"Mrs. Liu, don't blame me for speaking straight, as Xuan'er's mother, I have to think about him, I have to choose a virtuous character for him, I want to ask Mrs., why did you leave the Liu family in the first place?"
Mrs. Yun's words almost made Qiao Zhen happy, angry, this is to expose her own shortcomings.
"Hughed." Qiao Zhen's expression was very indifferent, and he said the answer that Mrs. Yun wanted.
"Why was he dismissed?" Mrs. Yun continued to ask.
"It is written that he was childless and that he was guilty of fornication. Didn't these ladies inquire about it? Since Madame knows that I used to be the wife of a man, I should know all this, and it is okay for Madame to want to listen to the women herself. Qiao Zhen was not angry, but calm, as if she was not ashamed of what she said.
Mrs. Yun glanced at Qiao Zhen in surprise, she didn't expect her to be so calm and thick-skinned, didn't she feel ashamed? Doesn't she find it hard to speak?
"Hehe, master, anyway, Xuan'er is our eldest son, and now that he has no official position, he has to marry a lady, right? If you marry a woman who has committed adultery and has no children, how can this be spread out of the house? How do we stand? Mrs. Yun ignored Qiaozhen, and said everything she wanted Qiaozhen to say.
Zhen Guogong also looked at Qiao Zhen fixedly, he didn't expect this woman to be so generous and tell her past, what she said was that they had already inquired about her past and knew that she was wronged, but now seeing her so indifferent, it surprised her, shouldn't she be a grievance? Shouldn't the explanation be obscured? Why is she so calm?
"You Yu Xuan'er has the grace to save your life, and our Chen family is not a family that does not repay kindness, you tell me what you want, as long as I can answer you." Zhenguo spoke publicly.
"Oh, I don't know how Grandpa Guo will repay the people's women? You must know that life is priceless, and Childe's life is also priceless, right? Can Grandpa Guo repay the women with the same amount of life? Qiao Zhen smiled and asked back.
Zhen Guogong was stunned, she was right, her son's life is priceless, what is the weight of his son in his heart? What equivalent amount can I give to repay her? She asked herself.
"How about a thousand taels of silver? Make sure you don't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Madame Yun offered her price first.
"Not bad." Qiao Zhen smiled and nodded, looking at the sarcastic smile on Mrs. Yun's face, she continued: "Gongzi is worth a thousand taels of silver in Madame's eyes, which is really quite high, if Chen San Gongzi doesn't know how much it should be worth?" ”
Mrs. Yun's face sank, was she insinuating that she was not her own mother? It must be Sun Juhua, a slut and her, damn it!
"Xuan'er is naturally priceless, but you just happened to save Xuan'er, and you didn't do much. That's why I said to give you a thousand taels of silver, don't misunderstand my intentions, don't stir up trouble. Mrs. Yun explained that she was afraid that Grandpa Guo would misunderstand.
"What Madame said is that a thousand taels of silver is indeed a lot, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to earn it in my life, but Madame has heard a sentence." Qiao Zhen asked unhurriedly.
"Oh? Tell me what to say. "Mrs. Yun is also very calm.
"The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, this reward is multiplied, for fear that the reward will be less than the others, how can I feel that the grace of saving lives is small when I get to Mrs. here, so what kind of grace is great?" Qiao Zhen smiled slightly, but her words made Mrs. Yun's heart burst out. This woman is so difficult.
"And what do you want?" Zhenguo asked openly, he wanted to hear what this woman wanted, wanted to know what she wanted, and if he really didn't know that he wanted to marry his son, he would never respond.
"Returning to China, everyone says that the grace of saving lives, the grace is the same as rebuilding, I think the son, there is no equal amount to compare, since I saved the son, the son has the heart to repay the kindness, then in addition to the son himself, what else can be compared." Qiaozhen opened his mouth, which meant that Chen Xuanyu was his own person, and there was nothing else except to give him to himself. In fact, Qiaozhen didn't want to do this, but the other party forced her, and she didn't care about fighting back. (To be continued......)
