Chapter 142: Marriage proposal

Bai Qishan can be regarded as a magistrate in Lingnan, and his mansion is naturally not as good as the official residence of the imperial gift of Zheng Sanpin in the capital. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The house where he lived was a two-entry courtyard quadrangle-style layout, with a stone table and a stone bench in front of the east house. Bai Qishan is good at chess, and as soon as Chu Chen comes, his chess addiction will also come up.

"Taifu has prepared a good set of chess." Bai Qishan touched the black jade chess pieces, and praised repeatedly, and then looked at the chessboard, the workmanship is extremely exquisite, and the materials are also very exquisite, and the smoking and roasting process alone is different.

Chu Chen's eyebrows were Haoran, and he quietly chose the white jade chess piece, he lifted his sleeve and poured Bai Qishan a cup of 'food-loving tea', Zhuan Er held the chess piece in one hand, and put the other hand on his lap steadily, and the whole person was upright Wei Ran's existence.

Bai Qishan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, this person was scheming before him, and the official position was also above him, after getting along in the past few days, he had never seen the appearance of arrogance, he couldn't help but think that he was really discerning, such a confidant was worth it.

However, people in the officialdom will not bring their friendship to the surface, but whenever there is a change in the power of the DPRK and China, no matter how good the best friends are, they may be hostile.

This is an eternal truth.

"Fortunately, Taifu made a move, and the white tiger was automatically willing to cooperate, and there are less than 3,000 soldiers and horses left under the thirteenth prince, and the north faces the sea, and if he retreats north, there will be no way back." Bai Qishan is in a good mood, once the thief is caught, Lingnan will be peaceful, even if the emperor may not let him leave for Beijing one day, at least he can pick up his girl to stay for a few days.

Bai Qishan and Ruo Suxiang are dead, and they have been away for a long time, and they are really worried about it.

Chu Chen showed his face, smiled faintly, the white son in his hand pressed on Bai Qishan's sunspot step by step, the hand he put on his knee shook it, and said: "Then I have to congratulate Lord Bai, the traitor is the emperor's heart disease, this time Lord Bai has made a great contribution, and he is not far from that position." ”

The position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites has been vacant, and the emperor has not yet appointed a new candidate, just waiting for Bai Qishan to return to Beijing to resume his post.

Bai Qishan looked at Chu Chen in surprise, but after a moment, he laughed loudly: "I thought that my colleagues in the DPRK and China were all kept in the dark, how did Taifu know?" As soon as the words came out, Bai Qishan felt that these words were really redundant.

At this moment, when the morning light was faint, the pale yellow warm sun shone down from the top of Chu Chen's head, and his face fell under the boundless morning light, covered with a strange halo.

He's the best guy to be.

Bai Qishan appreciated talents, and said: "If the Taifu is embarrassed, don't mention it." "Since the emperor sent Chu Chen over, he should have told him, Bai Qishan guessed.

Chu Chen Langyue's voice chuckled a few times, and it was another 'race of life and death', and he quickly forced Bai Qishan's sunspot into a corner: "My lord, admit it." He bowed his hand, humble and polite, but his strength in all aspects still needs to be well displayed, so he did not back down in chess.

Bai Qishan rarely met such an opponent, he was happy to lose and lose, looking at the amazing and brilliant Chu Chen, he felt a lot of pity in his heart, he was really a pillar of the country.

Under the excitement, Bai Qishan began to care about his life's events: "Taifu has already been weak, why hasn't he married a wife yet?" But because the vision is too high? He touched his chin and thought: "This is also true, the lower officials searched for the girls to be married in the capital, and they didn't find a match for you." ”

Chu Chen's eyebrows and eyes suddenly added a bit of brilliance, but his face was still Ling Ranwei, a righteous faction, and his unique magnetic voice also became deep and extremely solemn: "Lord Bai is wonderful, I really dare not be, Miss Guifu is also unique, I think no one in this capital can be worthy of her." ”

Bai Qishan has always regarded Chu Chen as 'the same kind', and he definitely didn't mean to associate him with Ruosu, and when he heard Chu Chen talk about Ruosu, he just thought of the girl's poor life experience: "Alas--- her mother left early, this child has been smart since he was a child, that is, he is naughty." He shook his head, feeling distressed, waved his hand and said, "I don't deserve the best, I'm just this girl, and I will stay by my side in the future." ”

Chu Chen sorted out the chessboard, his hand paused slightly, the different colors crossed by the bottom of his eyes disappeared in an instant, his attitude was a little solemn, and he changed his words and said: "Although you and I have no master-apprentice relationship, the ancients said that one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father. I'll take care of her for the adults. ”

Bai Qishan also thought about it like this, so he entrusted Chu Chen to be interested in Ruo Su as a last resort, after all, the Qiao family had not been in contact for many years, not to mention that Uncle Qiao was his political enemy.

He still couldn't comprehend the 'essence' of Chu Chen's words, and sighed lightly: "With a brother like you, Sister Su is also blessed." ”

Chu Chenjun's face was gloomy, and his hand holding the white jade chess piece was paused again.

In his previous life, if Su was concerned with him and directly threatened Bai Qishan that he would not marry, he would save these roundabout means, and Bai Qishan loved his daughter like his life, as long as Chu Chen agreed, he had no opinion.

But now..... Chu Chen was about to say something, but Wang Pu walked over quickly and said, "Prince, Lord Bai, there are assassins!" The prince was seriously injured and lost too much blood, fearing that his life would not be saved, and the assassin bit his tongue and committed suicide on the spot, and there was no proof of his death. ”

Zhu Yunhong dressed up as a scholar, and walked over with a black lacquer tray, on which were placed two bowls of mutton noodles that had just come out of the pot, and the soup noodles could be seen floating with a thick layer of oil in the steaming, as well as the fragrance of shallots: "Two masters, it's time for breakfast." ”

Bai Qishan took the porcelain bowl with both hands, and was served by the prince, most of whom were still a little uncomfortable.

Chu Chen was very casual, he wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then said, "What is Lord Bai's next step?" The thirteen princes are emaciated camels, and it is not easy to completely exterminate the anti-thieves. He looked at the ink bamboos on both sides of the road, the bamboo leaves in the capital should have begun to turn yellow, and they should fall off after a while, and he didn't know how Ruo Su was doing in the capital? She probably won't read those letters when she sends them back.

was chased by her in the previous life, and in this life it was his turn to chase her and run, and the feeling of being ignored was really uncomfortable.

With a "snap", the chopsticks in Chu Chen's hand were folded into two ends, which was purely unintentional.

Bai Qishan raised his eyes: "Taifu, what did you think of?" He looked solemn, a steady person like Chu Chen, with such a reaction, it was probably something big.

Chu Chen gathered his mind, Wang Pu quickly handed over a pair of bamboo chopsticks again, he took the chopsticks, his eyes flashed with regret and discouragement, and his face was still casual and said: "It's nothing." ”

--------

When Ruosu woke up in the morning, the letter on the dressing table was still there.

Qiao Yan took the old sandalwood comb and combed her hair, Miss's hair was black and dense, and after two years, she would be able to comb Miss's hair in a bun with different patterns: "Miss, why haven't you opened the letter yet?" ”

Chu Chen's intentions have reached the point where they are obvious, and no matter how stupid Ruo Su is, he will not be so stupid that he can't even see this little bit of thought.

Kehou Mansion ..... She didn't want to set foot in a single step, she opened the makeup box, put the letter inside, and after thinking about it, she simply locked it again.

"Girl, the fourth lady and the fourth aunt are back today, and the ancestor asked the slave to invite you over." Qin Xiang felt that Ruo Su was wearing too plain, so she found a water-pink belt in the cage and knelt down on one knee to tie it for her, Ruo Su looked down at Qin Xiang's half-thin face, and knew very well what the reason was.

But not long after Lin Huiqing entered the door, how could the Chu family give Qiao Wei Meng a concubine? Even if the Chu family had this meaning, with Qiao Weimeng's personality, he might not be able to move this idea.

At Qin Xiang's age, in a few years, he will either be assigned to any of the Qiao family's stewards, or he will be released from the house.

She still broke off this thought earlier.

When the married girl returns to the door, there is also a banquet in the house.

When Ruosu arrived at Mo Yaju, Wen Tianyou and Qiao Ruowan were actually there, and she never returned to the house when she went back to Qiao's house to do two happy events, but today she came, for Tao's business, right? Ruo Su glanced at her a few more times, and it was only less than two months, Qiao Ruowan was already emaciated, and no matter how thick the powder was, she couldn't hide the sad lines on her face.

Chu Ji is Wen Tianyou's subordinate, and now he is a brother-in-law, he stepped forward to flatter and greeted: "Eldest brother-in-law, today-you and I will definitely have a few more drinks, usually you have a lot of nobles, it is rare to have this opportunity, hahaha." "He doesn't even call 'Lord Wen' anymore, and he is very anxious to get close.

Qiao Ruoyun sat on the round chair, clenched the handkerchief tightly, feeling very embarrassed, she was already unsatisfactory in marriage, but fortunately, Chu Ji also had a conscience, and when she learned that she was pregnant, she was not embarrassed for her in the past two days, and she also dismissed several rooms in his house.

In this way, Qiao Ruoyun gave him a good face for two days.

But people can't be compared, Chu Ji standing in front of Wen Tianyou obviously lacks bearing, one is just an ordinary rich child, Chu Ji can't hit the title no matter what, and Wen Tianyou is like a pine and cypress in the sky, proud as a cloud, is a gesture admired by others.

Qiao Ruoyun was aggrieved, she was unwilling!

She touched her lower abdomen, which had not yet bulged, and felt that there was nowhere to complain about the bitter water in her stomach.

Qiao Ruowan glanced at Wen Tianyou quietly, and didn't find any displeasure, so she trembled and said, "Husband, the concubine wants to go to see her mother." ”

Qiao Ruoyun sat beside her, and when she heard it, she could tell that something was wrong, how could the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law talk so carefully, as if they were afraid that one would offend him if they didn't pay attention.

Wen Tianyou chatted with Chu Ji for a few words, but didn't look at Qiao Ruowan squarely: "Go ahead." "It's like the high authority of the upper peak when he treats his subordinates.

Qiao Ruowan got up slowly, there seemed to be a sore spot on her body, and she walked very carefully.

Qiao Ruoyun looked at Qiao Ruowan's current situation, and suddenly felt that marrying Chu Ji was quite passable, at least her aunt treated her very well, and Chu Ji followed her in everything.

"Sister Su'er sit here." Qiao Weishi pointed to the vacated seat beside Qiao Weiyuan, and the intention was obvious.

Some people will inevitably pay attention to it, if Su deliberately avoids Qiao Weiyuan, it will inevitably make others feel that there is really a problem, so she walked over obediently, but Qiao Weiyuan leaned sideways on the empty seat: "Cousin, let's find a new place to sit, I'm the most afraid of crowding." ”

Where it was crowded, Moyaju's seats were already evacuated, and there was a distance between the seats that was enough for one person to pass.

Qiao Weiyuan's move told everyone a fact--- he didn't want to see the girl of the Bai family.

Chu's heart was very happy now, Qiao Wei's disagreed to let Ruosu marry Qiao Weixun, the more Ruosu was looked down upon, the more balanced her heart became.

"Third brother, you are too stingy, your cousin is petite, where can you occupy a lot of land." Qiao Weixun said, beckoning to Ruosu: "Cousin Su come here, second cousin will make room for you." ”

Chu's face sank, and he frowned and glared at Qiao Weixun, but Qiao Weixun was not affected at all, and he had already stood up and made way for Ruosu to sit down.

Lin Huiqing smiled with a handkerchief against her lips: "Mother, the chicken stings in the big kitchen are so good, you can taste them." She has a ruddy complexion, since she got married, Qiao Weimeng's gentleness and thoughtfulness made her feel the joy of being a wife, it would be better if she could have a child, thinking of this, she glanced at Qiao Weimeng, whose face was as heavy as water, and quietly sandwiched a piece of osmanthus fish sticks for him.

Qiao Weimeng was stunned for a moment, and then looked at her: "Thank you, madam." ”

Seeing this, Chu Ji was very envious, and said as soon as he opened his mouth: "The eldest brother and sister-in-law are really in love with the plaice, and they envy others. He poked Qiao Ruoyun with his elbow, but in exchange for a cold and angry gaze, he immediately sat up straight and didn't say a word.

This time, Qiao Ruoyun felt that he was too unproductive, all kinds of contradictions were constantly intertwined, and her emotional changes made her appetite not very good.

Ruo Su was sitting next to Qiao Weimeng, and as soon as she sat down, she said to Qiao Weixun, who was already sitting elsewhere, "Thank you, cousin." ”

Qiao Weixun grinned with big white teeth: "Haha... My cousin is polite, but it's just a seat. ”

Her voice was originally good, echoing softly in Qiao Weimeng's ears, he suddenly turned his face to look at Lin Huiqing, and for some reason, he kept putting vegetables on her: "Madame-tired recently, eat more." ”

The smile on Lin Huiqing's face was really hard to hide, before getting married, her mother warned her that she must keep her status in the main room and watch her man closely, but she felt that she didn't need it at all, Qiao Weimeng treated her well, making her feel that no man in the world could compare to him.

Qiao Wei, who was sitting on the chief, was still a little relieved to look at this pair of newlywed Yan'er, she looked at Qiao Weiyuan with cold eyebrows on the other side, and Ruosu, who had always been as indifferent as Yaju, and couldn't help but feel worried.

One is ruthless, the other is unrighteous, she can't match!

Lin Huiqing ate a few bites of food, Qiao Weimeng's seat was between her and Ruosu, and Qiao Weimeng could hear it when she spoke to Ruosu.

"Cousin, the medicine you prescribed to me last time really worked, my body is getting better and better, and I didn't feel tired after hugging my brother for a while." Lin Huiqing said with a smile.

Ruo Su turned her face sideways and saluted her back: "Sister-in-law also likes to follow her brother?" I haven't seen him in days. ”

Chu sneered: A concubine, what is rare, I have to talk to my daughter-in-law when I go back.

From the corner of Qiao Weimeng's eyes, he could see the gouache belt around Ruosu's waist, and the goose-yellow embroidered plum and bamboo orchid skirt on his body, his figure became taller and more exquisite, and the original pink appearance was no longer visible.

He felt very uncomfortable at the moment, indescribable irritability and panic, he suddenly got up and said to Qiao Wei: "Grandmother, grandson still has important things to do, go back to the yamen first." He said goodbye to Wen Tianyou and Chu Ji one by one, because he was in a hurry, and even Chu forgot to say hello.

Chu Shi watched his eldest son walk away and complained: "What can be more important than the return of my sister!" ”

Lin Huiqing didn't know why his face changed in an instant: "Mother, don't blame, wait for him to come back and go to your house to ask for guilt." ”

Where would the Chu family really blame Qiao Weimeng, but the more he looked at Ruosu, the more unpleasant he became, but the second son who was born was not a weapon still maintained this little girl everywhere! (To be continued.) )
