Chapter 285: I'm Afraid When I See Him
It's quiet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The three watchmen have just been knocked.
In the distance, the voice of the husband called: "The weather is dry, beware of the fire candle ....."
The sound of voices wafted long through the long street of curfew.
After a while, the wind finally stopped, and there was no sound again.
In a humble courtyard on the outskirts of the western part of the city, a few faint oil lamps were burning, and the birch door was knocked six times, three long and three short, as if to convey some kind of signal.
Not long after, a man wearing a plain makeup gown with a stone blue background opened the courtyard door himself, and by the thin moonlight above his head, Qiao Weixun saw the person who was coming, and hurriedly opened the courtyard door, and asked with a virtual hand: "Everyone, please inside." ā
Chu Chen walked into the small courtyard with Wang Pu and Mo Yan, and Qiao Weixun immediately stood outside and looked around, but did not find anything unusual, so he quietly closed the courtyard door and followed closely.
This courtyard is not big, in addition to Qiao Weixun, there are also a few henchmen under Chu Chenbu, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is extremely difficult to find.
A few people entered the house, and Qiao Jieyu, who was wearing a big red charred cloth bijia with a crescent moon phoenix tail Luo skirt, combed a weeping cloud bun, and dressed as an ordinary woman, came out of the back room.
As soon as he saw Chu Chen, he said with respect on his face: "Lord Taifu, thank you for protecting my mother and son to this day." After that, Qiao Jieyu was about to kneel.
Chu Chen's eyes signaled to Qiao Weimeng, he didn't like to be close to a woman, and he didn't want to have anything to do with any woman, save her..... Hehe..... It's nothing more than a way to seek power.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, everyone can understand this truth, but there are very few people who can really be prepared to prevent trouble.
The new emperor is about to ascend the throne, and he will attack the Chu family soon, how can a character like Zhu Yunhong be in charge of the military by the Chu family?
Qiao Weixun understood what Chu Chen meant, and supported Qiao Jieyu, he also cooperated with Chu Chen not long ago, he also wanted to save his cousin and nephew, and also wanted the Qiao family to maintain the style of the hairpin family forever.
Therefore, when Chu Chen came to the door, he agreed without hesitation.
Or perhaps.... I always feel that by doing this, I can get closer to that person, and when I get closer to Chu Chen in the future, won't I be able to see her often!?
Chu Chen said: "Niangniang doesn't need to be polite, the fourteenth prince is the blood of the first emperor, and the minister is just doing his duty." ā
This statement is both true and false, and everyone present knows it.
Qiao Jieyu didn't care, since Chu Chen had already rescued her and the child from Zhu Yunhong, it meant that he was willing to cooperate.
So, how could she care about this disobedience?
Everyone has the same purpose and the same want.
"The new emperor ascended the throne the day after tomorrow, he is the son of the first emperor, and he should inherit the throne, but Niangniang can't take it lightly, even if the new emperor's throne is stable, she will not give up the opportunity to kill you." Chu Chen said again, his expression was indifferent, but his spirit was sassy, and he was indescribably cold.
Qiao Weixun glanced at his cousin beside him worriedly, and asked Chu Chen, "Mrs. Chu, what do you think?" If this goes on for a long time, I am afraid it will attract people's eyes. ā
Chu Chen naturally thought of this.
There were still shallow tooth marks on the corners of his perfect lips, but fortunately, the light in the room was dim, and others couldn't see it clearly, so he suddenly smiled and said: "I came this time, first, to make sure that everything is okay with the fourteenth prince and Niangniang, and secondly, to make it clear to the two of you, in the next month, don't leave this courtyard for a single step, the capital will soon be in chaos." Brother Qiao, you must not stop on your errand in the Yamen, the Qiao family is afraid that the people who have already installed the Jinyi Guard. ā
He didn't finish talking about what kind of mess it was, and it was easy to say that it was easy to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but it was not so easy to do it.
Qiao Weimeng and Chu Chen are serious cousins, but they haven't been close to each other since they were children, and the current cooperation has made Qiao Weimeng even more jealous of Chu Chen, and at the same time, he can't help but think of Ruo Su, with her kind of temperament, can Chu Chen protect her for a lifetime?
It was inconvenient for Qiao Jieyu to stay in the outer room all the time, and after seeing Chu Chen, she entered the inner room before long to take care of the fourteenth prince, who was still a few months old.
After Chu Chen and Qiao Weimeng finished talking about business and left, she walked out of the inner room again.
Seeing Qiao Weimeng frowning and staring at Xuanyue outside, Qiao Jieyu thought that he was worried about the future of the Qiao family, and couldn't help but sigh: "Big brother, the matter has come to this, do you regret it?" ā
The new emperor of Wu rebelled, once he was investigated, he had to raid his house.
Qiao Weimeng came back to his senses, and only after a moment of silence did he understand the intention of Qiao Jieyu's words, his lips smiled, but his eyes were not smiling, and he said, "What do you regret?" You are the second daughter of the Qiao family, if it wasn't for the family's compulsion, you wouldn't have entered the palace, I am also responsible for this matter, my aunt has lost power, the court will definitely not reuse the people of the Qiao family, my father's official position has been degraded several levels, and now I have gone to Daxing to serve, and I.... I don't like this official career either.... The Qiao family will be counting on you and your nephew in the future. ā
I don't know why, Qiao Weimeng actually said what was in his heart in the face of his cousin who was not very close today.
Yes, he never loved Shitu, all of this was forced by his family and identity, and he had to fight for it.
The oil lamp gradually withered, and only the light of the stars burned its last light.
The brother and sister stood under the partition door together, and the Xuanyue outside gradually disappeared.
Qiao Weimeng asked, "Does the second sister really trust Chu Chen?" ā
Qiao Jieyu smiled, in her life, she was living in the illusion in the front, and she suddenly woke up in the middle, and she was finally able to be herself, she just wanted to gamble once, and if she won the bet, it would be the appearance of the phoenix in the world, and if she lost, it was just a prosperous dream.
In fact, she didn't care about winning or losing for a long time.
"Believe, why don't you believe it, he is an extremely smart man, and there are too many benefits that supporting my son can bring him, who in this world does not want to be a powerful minister? Besides, after the new emperor ascended the throne, I am afraid that we are not the only ones who are worried. Qiao Jieyu said very confidently.
Qiao Weimeng discovered for the first time that in fact, not all the daughters of the Qiao family were beautiful first, and when they should be vicious, they were unmatched.

The fifth watch has passed, the eastern sky is white, and the fire-burning woman of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei has already gotten up, went to the firewood room to hold the firewood, and began to boil water.
The mother-in-law sighed while walking, yesterday the lady ordered the grandmother to explain, the eldest son there is a shortage of hot water, she seems to be 'in danger', yesterday afternoon did boil hot water a few times, and thought that the night would also ask for water, but no one came to pass the word after a night.
The mother-in-law's eyes were dark blue, but thinking about the copper coins rewarded by the housekeeper, she still grinned out two rows of front teeth and went to work happily.
Outside the three-story small pavilion of the eldest prince of Houmen, there are large and small camphor wood boxes, and when the people pass through the sandwich road, while the sky is not yet bright, the mother-in-law in charge still has no time to educate them, and occasionally glances through the leaky window, and I don't know what good things the prince has made to please the grandmother.
Not to mention the women of the Hou Mansion, the daughters and women of the boudoir in the capital will inevitably sigh before tea after dinner, this Bai Ruosu must be a female bodhisattva who saves suffering and saves distress in her last life, otherwise she will be favored by Chu Chen, a thousand-year-old iceberg!
Overnight, the most famous clothing shops and jewelry shops in the capital were 'looted', and the spice shops were not spared, and all the new models that had not yet been sold on the market let Chu Chen move back to the mansion.
Everyone didn't know that the bigger the commotion here, the more the person in the palace took it lightly.
Ruosu slept all night, because she had been taking tonic for the past two years, she recovered very quickly, and woke up vaguely in a burst of coldness, opened her eyes and tilted her head to look, stunned.
I saw that Chu Chen was only wearing a thin shirt, his chest was slightly exposed, and he was half-kneeling on the big red brocade quilt, bending her legs with his head down, and re-applying medicine there.
Is this to embarrass her?
"I.... I'll do it myself. As soon as Ruo Su spoke, he found that his voice was hoarse.
When Chu Chen heard this, he raised his head, his face was a little red, and when he heard the sad voice of his little wife, he remembered her begging for mercy last night, and his lower abdomen tightened, and he swallowed his throat, but his face was still calm and said: "My husband has been painted, my mother doesn't have to ask for peace today, you can sleep again." ā
As he spoke, he pulled the futon to cover her, and the person lay down immediately, and he pressed down heavily, and Ruo Su obviously felt that the bed also trembled twice.
All right..... Maybe she was trembling herself.
Last night, it was only the second day to have a Zhou Gong ceremony with him, but this person is too terrible, how can he not rest for a while once he is contaminated.
Chu Chen stretched out his arms to encircle the person into his arms, sucked on her delicate earlobes, and deliberately said badly: "What do you want?" But do you want to be a husband? ā
Ruo Su's eyes were clear and he looked at the dust above his head, only to feel that he had not completely woken up from the agitation at this moment.
If this goes on like this for a long time, where will she have the energy to read medical books? Going to the Rejuvenation Hall?
Ruo Su turned his face sideways and looked at Chu Chen with surprise in his eyes: "You.... You...."She said 'you' several times, but she couldn't say anything after that.
She is his wife, and it is her duty to sleep with him, and besides, Chu Chen has no concubines by his side, and she will not let any other women exist around him, thinking about it like this, Ruo Su was speechless anymore.
There is a kind of mute suffering from eating coptis.
"Sleep, obedient." Chu Chen chuckled, as if he knew what she wanted to say, but he pretended to know nothing.
He put his arms around her and closed his eyes, his eyebrows slightly tired.
Ruo Su wondered for a while: Why did he seem like he hadn't slept all night, could it be that he knew that he would be tired?
.... So.... That's fine.
Maybe in the future, if there is less freshness, he won't ask for it like that, thinking about it this way, Ruosu also seems to have put down the package and slept again.
Mrs. Hou received an apology gift from the eighth princess from the palace, so she ordered someone to send the gift to Chu Chen's courtyard for Ruosu to see.
Although she is the hostess of Houmen, the protagonist's feelings in the garden naturally have to be taken care of.
Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law would come back after a while to report: "Madam, the eldest son and grandmother haven't gotten up yet." ā
Mrs. Hou's hand holding the rosary paused, and the corners of her mouth trembled; "Haven't been up since last afternoon?"
The woman nodded embarrassedly.
Mrs. Hou supported her forehead with her hand and said in her heart: Could it be that she has been holding back for a long time a few years ago, and this marriage is out of control?
"Let the kitchen stew some supplements and send them to the eldest son and grandmother, it won't work out like this, how can it be ruined at all!" Mrs. Hou is in a complicated mood at the moment, and she can't say it is good, nor can she say it is bad.
Chu Lan, who was waiting on the side, was a little anxious.
A large part of the reason why she has not returned to Jinling for a long time is also waiting for Ruosu to treat her.
But this little sister-in-law has been 'imprisoned' on the bed by her brother, which really makes her progress dilemma.
No one dares to argue with Chu Chen!
