Chapter 242: Confidante
A few days later, the ship docked in Zhenjiang, during which Zhen Tong never appeared, which is not in line with the character of the Zhen family. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ruo Su guessed, is Uncle Meng Lang afraid of water?!
Transferring from Zhenjiang to a carriage, because there was still a little half a month before the Medicine King Competition, Chu Chen was not in a hurry, and the carriage staggered until two days later before arriving at Jinling Mansion.
Xiao Yuzhu poked her head out, looking at the street market where her mother had taken her in the past, her little face was sullen, Ruosu touched her bun: "If you want to come back in the future, it's not impossible, since you have decided to do one thing, don't hesitate to remember, your father is bad, but you have a good mother, and your grandfather's family, these people will protect you." ”
Ruo Su deeply feels the same way, she once had a father who treated her as an outsider, and she didn't recruit children who were liked by her elders, so she always had more thoughts than others, and her heart was also sensitive.
Xiao Yuzhu responded crisply and nodded her head.
The carriage stopped outside the door of a house, Ruosu got off the carriage with a small jade bead, and it was a mansion with red doors and black tiles, flying eaves and arches, and the plaque in front of the door was empty, and someone greeted him, and when he saw Chu Chen, he bowed his head and said: "Master, you can be regarded as arriving, your subordinates have prepared everything, master, please come in." ”
Ruo Su knew in his heart that this place must have been ordered by Chu Chen in advance and prepared in advance, or he had a place to settle in Jinling early in the morning.
How much does this man know that he doesn't know?
Entering the Zhumen, you can see a whole row of plane trees planted in the front yard, Ruosu remembers that the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is also like this.
Sycamore leaves, three more rain.
At this time, the courtyard is green, cool and comfortable.
"You take a break, I'll take you out for a walk in a moment." Chu Chen looked sideways, and his tone was gentle.
Ruo Su nodded, and was led to the residence by the mother-in-law and maid in the house, she guessed that Chu Chen would never be able to simply accompany her on this trip, this time, it should be in the front hall to order everything, and she is also interested in not asking, not bothering.
Distance is the tipping point at which people maintain delicate relationships, and it is not appropriate to be too close or too distant.
Only the right distance can make both sides comfortable.
Distance, on the other hand, does not refer to the distance that is visible to the naked eye, but refers to things or actions that are unique to each other and should not be known to the other.
Learn to control the distance, you are comfortable, and the other party is relaxed.
Since stepping into the instrument door, along the east side of the hand verandah, go straight to the inner courtyard, is still full of sycamores, the wind blows, the leaves are sparse, and it is full of poetry.
Entering the courtyard, the housekeeper said: "Girl, this is the courtyard where you live, the master sent a letter a month ago, the old slaves have been cleaned in the morning, and the things you need are also arranged according to what is written on the master's letter. ”
He's a meticulous man!
The corners of Ruosu's lips couldn't help but overflow with a touch of shallowness, but a charming smile, the woman just lowered her head at a glance and didn't dare to look more, the master rarely came to Jinling, and never brought a woman to this house, she just saw Ruosu's outstanding color, and knew that the master treated her differently.
"Thank you, Mom, I don't know what Mom is called?" Ruosu asked.
The mother-in-law was even more respectful: "The old woman's surname is urging, what does the girl have to tell the old slave to mention it, the kitchen master is also from the capital, and he specializes in making northern tastes." ”
Ruosu didn't plan to live in Jinling for a long time, she just came to 'borrow' for a few days, urging her mother's enthusiasm beyond her imagination, but after thinking about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand.
How can anyone who doesn't want to please his master? I'm afraid that these people directly regard her as the future Mrs. Taifu.
There is also a hugging house in the yard, there are two rows of back cover rooms at the back, Ruosu entered the house, Qiaoyun waited for her to wash her face with her clean hands, and changed into a clean butterfly daffodil skirt, stayed on the boat for a long time, and rode the carriage for a day and a night, down-to-earth, but felt that her steps were vain and weak.
Xiao Yuzhu has a separate room, but she has been staying by Ruosu's side, silent, and after eating a few pieces and nodding, she still doesn't want to leave.
Ruo Su asked, "Yuzhu'er, do you have something to say to me?" ”
The child is very sensitive in her heart, even if there is something important, she also knows to look at the faces of others, and if others are unhappy, she will definitely not speak.
This reminded Ruosu of herself in her previous life, she knew how hard such a child lived, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiao Yuzhu.
The little girl pursed her lips, and looked at Ruo Su with two big eyes for a long time before hesitating: "White girl, I'..... I will go to Zhou's house in a few days to clear up with my father, and I want you to go with me, I'm afraid alone. ”
Ruosu leaned over and hugged her gently, inexplicably sad, Xiao Yuzhu is different from her, and the little girl is also the eldest daughter of the Zhou family! If it weren't for her father's misconduct, or cowardice and incompetence, she would have been a person standing on a high place, and now she would feel scared when she went back to her own home!
"Don't be afraid, your uncle will accompany you, I.... After all, you haven't married your uncle yet, and you don't have the qualifications to stand up and speak, or else? I'll be waiting for you in the carriage. Ruosu said with relief.
Although Xiao Yuzhu wanted Ruosu to accompany her, she also knew that she couldn't mess around, so she nodded obediently: "Okay, you must wait for me to come out of the Zhou family." ”
Chu Chun has already reconciled with Zhou Mo, the eldest son ----of the Zhou family, and it is not beneficial for a child without a mother to stay in the Zhou family, and Chu Chun brought her out for her own good.
As for what Xiao Yuzhu's surname will be in the future, or whose child it is, it will have nothing to do with the Zhou family from now on.
Ruo Su smiled and promised Xiao Yuzhu: "Okay, I won't go anywhere, and on that day, I will wait for you outside the Zhou Mansion." ”
Half an hour later, Chu Chen came to the courtyard, and when he stepped into the moon gate, he saw Ruosu sitting on a swing under the sycamore and reading a book.
The breeze blew the woman's long skirt, she was as quiet as a painting, and he could even see her long and curly eyelashes trembling slightly, not at all like the usual restlessness, Chu Chen strode in, and the corners of his calm mouth flashed with a bohemian smile, so that Donglai, who was guarding the door, thought he was dazzled.
Ruo Su first smelled a smell of ambergris, and then saw a pair of soap boots stop steadily in front of him.
She raised her head, and saw Chu Chen's beautiful face, he also changed his clothes, and the stubble on his chin was also shaved clean, revealing a little Confucian elegance in his fortitude.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." He reached out and took her hand and tossed the book in her hand to Qiaoyun.
Ruo Su followed him a step away, she was already as tall as his shoulders, and her figure was slender and exquisite, which was not comparable to the small size of ordinary women in the boudoir.
The two got into the same canopy carriage, and Ruosu asked, "Where are you going to take me?" Didn't you say that you were going to take Xiao Yuzhu to Zhou's house to eliminate your ancestral home? ”
Chu Chen took her hand and squeezed it a little harder. Ruosu avoided him.
She always doesn't understand the amorous feelings, should ordinary women be ashamed to answer him with affection?
Chu Chen said: "The people of the Zhou family will clean up sooner or later, and they are not in a hurry." He took her hand again, this time without resistance, the onion-like fingertips, even the nails were pink, he put it to his lips and kissed it softly.
These days, he will always tease her intentionally or unintentionally, every time he points to the end, he says that ten fingers are connected to the heart, Ruosu is hairy in his heart: "That.... You've got to tell me where you're going, right? Don't sell me then, I'm stupid enough to count the money for you. ”
She complained angrily.
Chu Chen smiled stupidly: "Who will sell you to?" My wife who has not passed through the door, who dares to ask for it?! ”
Ruosu: "!! ”
Chu Chen thought it was funny, how could she have thought that she would sell her? As shrewd as her, Chu Chen really felt that one day, she would 'sell' him!
"The most prosperous song and dance workshop in Jinling Mansion, the famous singers in it are all stunning, and their skills are superb, don't you like the song of Fengqiuhuang? Today - let me hear enough to you. Chu Chen said again.
Ruosu was stunned again, he was going to take her there...... Where are the fireworks in Willow Lane?
No, it's definitely more than that!
Ruo Suhu looked at Chu Chen suspiciously, and withdrew his hand by the way, it doesn't matter if he doesn't tell the truth, she can find out the answer by herself, she has never been to a place like a song and dance workshop, this time it should be 'seeing the world'. As for Chu Chen's true intentions, she will know in a while.
The song and dance workshop is different from the Qinglou, most of the women here are women from poor families, or young ladies from down-and-out families, but they are all equipped with unique skills, and they do not sell their bodies.
In other words, they are all talented women!
He is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and many dignitaries like to look for singing and dancing girls who suit their tastes, and keep them outside the hospital, which is equivalent to concubines for recreation.
After a stick of incense, the carriage came down, and this time it was Mo Yan who was accompanied by Mo Yan, who was quiet as if he didn't exist.
Before getting off the carriage, Chu Chen brought a white gauze hat to Ruosu, and then led her into a small pavilion repaired along the Qinhuai River.
No one noticed Ruosu, she was led by Chu Chen, and she would only be mistaken for which Langjun brought his wife to listen to Xiaoqu'er, or which son's little lover, which situation is very common.
Ruosu entered the private room, took off her hat, and sat down on a red sandalwood chair carved by a green luan peony group, Chu Chen was beside her, and a little girl with a double bun and a maid dress walked in and whispered: "Childe, everyone Pei has been waiting for you for a long time, and the slave maid will call her over." ”
Pei everyone?
If you know the best among the celebrities, you will be called 'everyone' by the world.
This bright man in the flower is an 'old friend' with Chu Chen? Ruo Su's face was pale and she didn't apply powder, but she had already poured all sentient beings, she glanced at Chu Chen: "Brother Chu wants to introduce me to your confidante?" ”
She doesn't want to know at all, it's not that she looks down on people in the red dust, but she never cuts to fight for something unworthy, if Chu Chen has an old love first, and she can't forget it, she will go far away and never get involved.
Chu Chen pinched the tea lid and gently brushed off the tea foam on it: "I only have you, I don't need to say anything more about this." ”
She can doubt him, but she can't doubt his sincerity, he just has to take out his heart, Chu Chen said in his heart, a person like him, only his quality can force him into this situation.
For some reason, he explained, "I'll talk to you slowly when I go back." He rubbed his fingertips in her palm through the wide sleeves, not light or heavy, and he was kind and seductive, and he almost collapsed.
"Brother Chu, don't tease me anymore, aren't you afraid that Su Su won't be able to control it and ruin your innocence? Let your red face see it, and you will be sad. She quipped, complaining that he deliberately teased her whenever he got a free time.
Chu Chen just drank the imported tea, as if it was blocked in his throat, he paid attention to demeanor no matter where he was, so he suppressed his cough and swallowed the tea quietly.
His voice was soft and deep: "I will keep these words and go back and say them slowly." "He didn't mind being 'light' by her at all, and even welcomed her.
