Chapter 138: Exposed

The courtyard of Xiangheju is full of autumn chrysanthemums. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as Qiao Wei Meng got out of the yamen, she was called to her house by the Chu family.

The eldest son, Yushu, was in the wind, and he was still wearing a crimson official robe, but he inadvertently revealed a posture of praise and clothing.

Chu Shi looked at how satisfied, she ordered: "Don't hurry up and serve tea to the eldest young master!" ”

The maids in the big house all lowered their heads, they were all used to being taught by the Chu family, and no one dared to fiddle in front of the eldest young master, and make a fox-charming-seductive-master trick, a few years ago, there was a beautiful maid who did this, but on the same day, he was beaten half to death by Chu's mother Wang, locked up the firewood room overnight, and sold it the next day.

"What did the mother do when she called her son?" Qiao Weimeng lifted the lid of the tea, skimmed the upper layer of tea leaves, and took a sip.

Chu Shi looked at the eldest son is feel comfortable, and the anger he has suffered from the second son and the second daughter in the past few days is also a little relieved: "Sister Yun said that she wants to advance the marriage date, what do you think?" ”

Qiao Weimeng took the lid of the teacup for a moment, frowned slightly and asked, "Why does the fourth sister suddenly want to marry Cousin Ji again?" "Didn't you still want to refuse marriage a few days ago! There were some things that Qiao Weimeng didn't say.

Chu Shi stretched out his hand and flicked the eldest son's clothes, as if there was something uneven, she actually wanted to be close to Qiao Weimeng, he had been an official outside for so many years, it was really not easy, among the children of the big house, Chu valued Qiao Weimeng the most.

"How do I know what's going on! A girl's family doesn't know how to be ashamed, how can she change the marriage date if she says it, and besides, as the eldest brother, how can the marriage be left behind her! One by one, it's getting worse and worse! Chu Shi seemed to have thought of something, and his tone immediately became stern: "I guess I learned it from Sister Su!" Don't look at her young age, she has a ghost idea, if it weren't for her, how could your fifth sister fall in love with the son of a businessman like Wang Chonglin! ”

Qiao Weimeng put down the teacup, and under his thick eyebrows was a pair of clear eyes: "Mother, what does this have to do with my cousin?" Wang Gongzi is not a thing in the pool, and his mother should not look at people like this. ”

The eldest son rarely talks to her like this, Chu Shi was angry, and stood up from the round chair: "How do I look at people?" I don't say this for the sake of your brothers and sisters! ”

Qiao Weimeng also got up and bowed to Chu's family: "Mother has worked hard, is it her son's." ”

As an official, filial piety comes first, and unfilial heirs will not be reused by the court, and even some big families in the Zhumen family do not even dare to omit the rules of the province in the morning and dusk.

Chu sighed, with a sad face: "Your father is also a careless person, which of those fox spirits in the backyard is a fuel-efficient lamp?" If he doesn't pay attention to this age, I'm afraid that it will be too late when the oil runs out! ”

Qiao Weimeng embarrassedly picked up the teacup and took a few sips of tea: "What my mother said is that my mother has to remind me a lot in front of my father about this matter, and my son still has important things to do, so I will go back first." ”

He put down the teacup, lifted his robe and left the peaceful house.

Chu Shi was also not good at disturbing the eldest son's business, and she was uncomfortable, so she could only order her mother-in-law in the house to find the bad luck of the fifth aunt.

Speaking of the fifth aunt of this big house, she is now pitiful, although she is happy with Uncle Qiao, but under Chu's nose, she can't turn over in the end, and she is several years old when she is tortured.

Qiao Weimeng stepped out of the peaceful residence and walked straight towards the small courtyard where Qiao Ruoyun lived.

The maids and ladies in Qiao Ruoyun's courtyard were all shocked, the eldest young master rarely came to them, and this time they looked with a sinister face.

When Qiao Weimeng entered the house, Qiao Ruoyun leaned against the Luohan couch near the window, without the slightest energy, and his complexion looked sallow.

She saw the appearance of the person who came, and hurriedly sat up: "Big brother? You... What are you doing here? The action was so violent that she felt her stomach churn and she wanted to vomit again.

Qiao Weimeng once married a room, if it weren't for dystocia, his children would probably be able to memorize hundreds of family names, plus he is a careful person, what is the situation of a woman pregnant, he still remembers it vividly.

Walking in front of Qiao Ruoyun in a few steps, Qiao Weimeng clenched his fists, looked at her for a moment with hatred, and then turned to the maid behind him: "Come on, the fourth lady is unwell, go and invite Dr. Hu." "Doctor Hu is the doctor that Qiao's family often calls.

When Qiao Ruoyun heard this, he was frightened, got up and grabbed Qiao Weimeng's arm, and almost knelt down for him: "Big brother! I... I'm fine, I beg you not.. Don't look for a doctor. ”

When Qiao Wei was far away from home, his younger brothers and sisters at home were only about ten years old, and a few years passed in a flash, and they all grew up, Qiao Weimeng blamed himself in his heart, and he was also impulsive, and he said to the servants behind him: "No need to look for it, go down, I have something to say to the fourth lady, no one is allowed to come in without instructions." ”

The maid and the maid all exited the room with a blank face.

At this moment, Qiao Ruoyun sat down on the Luohan couch a little calmly, and didn't dare to look at Qiao Weimeng at a glance.

After a period of silence, Qiao Weimeng was angry in his heart, but he also felt sorry for his sister.

He finally asked, "Is it Cousin Ji's?" "Who else but him? It is true that Qiao Ruoyun cares about Chu Chen, but a person like Chu Chen, even if he sends a beauty who captivates the country and the city, strips off and sends him to his bed, he can sit still without messing up, let alone Qiao Ruoyun's medium appearance.

Qiao Ruoyun nodded: "Big brother, it's been two months, I can't wait, if my mother doesn't agree to advance the marriage, then.... I can only beg my cousin to prescribe me a side medicine, it's a big deal! "Anyway, she doesn't want to marry Chu Ji.

Qiao Wei Mengshu grabbed Qiao Ruoyun's wrist: "Cousin? Cousin Su also knows? Only then did he suddenly sort things out: "You asked her to take your pulse?" ”

Qiao Ruoyun nodded again and again, she had indeed done something to try to hurt Bai Ruosu, but she could only ask her for help in this matter.

Qiao Weimeng pursed his lips and let go of Qiao Ruoyun, he was already dissatisfied with Chu Ji, because Qiao Ruoyun was pregnant, and even more dissatisfied with this brother-in-law, but the wood was already in the boat, and there was no turning back.

"Don't keep quiet for the time being, I'll figure out how to do it." He dropped a sentence and went to the West Wing Courtyard of Mo Yaju.

Qiao Ruoyun stared blankly at the direction where the eldest brother left, and was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses: How did the eldest brother know?

--------

Rows of bamboo shelves were set up in the courtyard of the West Wing, Qiao Yan panted and came in with a large basket of Qiu Ju, she put down the basket with difficulty, wiped the fine sweat on her forehead and said: "Miss, this is the fifth basket, how much do you need?" "If this continues, the autumn chrysanthemums in Jingyuan are about to be picked up by her, and she knows that she will never mention any Chu Shizi in front of Miss, this is good, Miss will let herself do everything.

Qiao Ruosu put on a water-red apron with white cloud trim on it, rolled up his sleeves and picked off the autumn chrysanthemum petals one by one, and then sprinkled them evenly on the bamboo frame.

Qiu Ju looks ordinary, but it is an excellent medicinal material, the pink and white wrists are white, and Qiao Wei Meng just stepped into the moon gate to see such a scene.

He was stunned, Ruosu was still a naughty pink girl that year, he knew that she was good-looking, but he didn't expect it to be so good-looking.

The autumn sun shone obliquely on her face, the girl's eyes were full of seriousness, obviously a delicate young lady, but the movements were flowing water, under the thick curly eyelashes, the smart eyes were more beautiful than the autumn light.

"The eldest young master is here, come into the house and sit down." Mama Lin said respectfully: "Miss is busy drying flower petals, saying that it can be used as medicine." ”

Since Ruosu worshipped Zhen Jian as a teacher, the maids and daughters in the entire West Wing Courtyard have been busy, and no one complains, it is better than being angry in front of several other sisters.

Qiao Weimeng snorted a few times, and walked into the moon gate, Ruo Su turned her face at this time, first with a cute face, and the corners of her lips bent slightly, obviously slightly powdered, even this dress was a very ordinary material, but when she smiled, it seemed that even the light fell on her face, and she was reluctant to leave.

It's just that she smiled very lightly, too lightly, and it shouldn't be the indifference that should be at this age.

"Cousin is looking for me? Wait a minute, I'll clean my hands. If he said nothing, he said to Qin Xiang: "Sister Xiang, go make a pot of new tea, by the way, don't forget to add some nectar." She turned and went into the inner room, and said to herself along the way: "It's been really dry lately, and the nectar is the best, but the fire can be reduced to dry." ”

Qiao Weimeng watched her walk away, and lost his mind for a while, so much so that he gave her a female ring!

Look at her like this, where do you need to see those decent things.

She's just that, so good!

Ruo Su didn't invite Qiao Weimeng into the house, in the end, there was a difference between men and women, she asked Qin Xiang to entertain him to drink tea in the flower hall, and also asked Mama Lin to bring a cherry meat yam cake up.

The autumn light in the afternoon is particularly pleasant on people, in front of them is a clear tea with the fragrance of flowers, plus a small snack, Qiao Weimeng suddenly appeared in his mind four words: the years are quiet.

Zhuer, he smiled silently, this thought is too strange, how can that powdery girl have anything to do with these four words.

Qiao Weimeng glanced at the layout in the flower hall, and then at Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang had already had feelings for the eldest young master, and this look made her blush.

Ruo Su understood what Qiao Weimeng meant, and said to Qin Xiang: "Sister Xiang, you go and help the grandmothers, you won't need to serve here for a while." ”

"The slave can be saved." Qin Xiang lowered his head and went to the courtyard to continue picking petals, Qiao Weimeng glanced at Ruo Su appreciatively, and said in his heart: It's a bit smart.

I don't know if it's because of the nectar added to the tea, or if Ruosu still has the fragrance of flowers on his hands, Qiao Weimeng's every breath is fragrant, and this feeling makes him very relaxed.

"Cousin, are you doing it for Cousin Yun?" Other than that, he won't come to himself! Presumably, Qiao Ruoyun had already mentioned to the Chu family that the marriage date would be advanced, and Qiao Weimeng would definitely know as soon as possible, because if Qiao Ruoyun wanted to marry the Chu family in advance, Qiao Weimeng would have to marry Lin Huiqing before her.

The reason couldn't be simpler, but there are only a handful of people who can easily guess it.

Qiao Weimeng's left index finger circled around the edge of the teacup, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes, and a light smile fell into his sight of the girl sitting opposite, and he said with a blank face: "Since my cousin knows everything, I will say it directly, this matter is now only known to three people, I don't want a fourth person, as for my fourth sister's request, you don't agree to her, I have all the power to do the rest." "He's always been like this, solving all the problems that his younger siblings get into at home.

Never complained.

Ruosu looked at his left hand: "Cousin, are you left-handed?" She suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a left-handed person in her impression, and she couldn't remember who it was.

Qiao Weixun looked at his left hand, didn't follow her words, paused and said: "Can my cousin swear an oath, you also know that this matter is not trivial, it is related to the reputation of my fourth sister, so.... I hope my cousin understands. ”

Oaths don't work for some people, how upright is Qiao Weimeng, so he believes in this?

Ruo Su still kept a light smile, but she was faintly lonely in her heart, it is good to have a brother, everything will protect you, she was also Qiao Weimeng's third sister at the beginning, I don't know if he ever thought about protecting himself once, even if it was only this time, Ruo Su would feel that at least there were people in this world who cared about her existence.

She raised her right hand and said to the sky of Bai Yunshu: "I swear to the sky if I swear to the sky, if I leak half a sentence.... and they will be struck by thunder from heaven. ”

As soon as Ruosu's words fell, Qiao Weimeng regretted it, his request seemed to be too much, but he couldn't, with Bai Ruosu's character, he really couldn't believe her.

Qiao Weimeng left in a hurry, and he didn't look back once, and he himself didn't know why he was desperate to leave immediately.

On the second day, Qin Xiang absentmindedly served Ruosu to wash, and finally said with a smile: "Girl, there will be a happy event in our house soon." ”

Ruo Su picked a hairpin inlaid with bloodstone in plain silver from the makeup, looked at Qin Xiang, who was smiling a little decadent in the bronze mirror, and asked, "What is the happy event, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

Qin Xiang took the hairpin, put it on Ruosu, and gave her a pair of silk flowers: "It's the eldest young master... The eldest young master thought that the ancestor was unwell, so he advanced the marriage, and even the fourth lady's marriage was also advanced, and it was done at the end of this month. As for the Lin family, Miss Lin is also in her early twenties, and she has long been looking forward to the girl's marriage. ”

In the name of filial piety, it is not appropriate for Lord Lin to have an opinion.

Ruosu patted Qin Xiang's arm: "It's still the eldest cousin who has filial piety." ”

In this way, Qiao Ruoyun's unmarried childbirth can be concealed, and when she enters the winter, she wears thick clothes, and Qiao Ruoyun is very thin, presumably others can't see it, and when the child is born, just make up a reason for premature birth, and when the Chu family adds an heir, naturally they will not investigate when they were conceived, as long as it is Chu Ji's flesh and blood.

--------

Empress Cao was deposed, and today's harem is the concubine who is in charge of the phoenix seal.

When Qiao Ruoxi went to the West Palace to greet Concubine Shu, Zhu Hongye was also there.

With her unbearable body now, she didn't know how to face him, but this person appeared in front of her like this, she couldn't hide, Zhu Hongye shook the folding fan, as if he didn't notice her.

Qiao Ruoxi's heart tightened, it turned out that the real pain had just begun, she knelt down and saluted: "Concubine to the lady concubine, please say hello to the eighth prince." ”

Qiao Moyi blew on the nails that had just been coated with impatiens juice, and said lazily: "Dog slave, don't you hurry up and help your lover up, you can afford to kneel down!" ”

Qiao Ruoxi sneered in her heart, if Qiao Moyi really didn't let her kneel down and salute, she would mention it, this is to give her a disgrace.

It's warning her!

Qiao Ruo staggered up: "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

A palace person came over with a pestle, Qiao Ruoxi just sat down, Qiao Moyi said again: "Liu Jieyu is being favored, if she is looking for you trouble, you can come to this palace, in the end it is the Qiao family, this palace will not help you, as long as you are obedient, this palace will ensure that you enjoy endless glory." ”

Qiao Ruoxi lowered her head slightly: "The concubine must follow the teachings of the mother." She clenched her handkerchief, and from her point of view, she could see Zhu Hongye's red soap boots, and her ears were still echoing with this person's love words.

Okay, let's wait, when he is done, even if he can't give her peace for a lifetime, at least he can let her live, and it's better than the current situation. (To be continued.) )
