Chapter 275: What Are You Hiding For
When Ruosu woke up, the maid had already lit the lantern under the eaves. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
She secretly said that it was not good, and it was going to be too late.
After resting for two hours, and reapplying the swelling reduction ointment of Zhen's medical department, Ruosu felt very good, so he ordered Qiaoyun to wait for freshening, and soon went to the east courtyard where Mrs. Hou lived.
In the meantime, Chu Chen didn't know where she went, she guessed that there were many things in the court, and half of the life of the Son of Heaven had already stepped on the Nai He Bridge, and she always felt that Chu Chen would not assist the crown prince Zhu Yunhong.
In addition to speculation, Ruosu also found that the guards of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion were becoming more and more strict, even tighter than what she saw when she stepped into the mansion gate last year.
Chu Chen: What is this preventing?
Ruosu walked on the corridor, a strong cold light came to her face, she tightened her cloak slightly, and Qiaoyun behind her reminded in a low voice with a lantern: "Miss, although this morning and dusk is a rule handed down by the ancestors, but you have only entered the door for the first day, Mrs. Hou is afraid that she has the intention of making things difficult, and you ..... last night Why don't you go and talk to the master? β
The sky was still clear during the day, and the sun was warm, but as soon as it was dark, the northwest wind blew, and the red crepe lanterns and red satin under the eaves danced in the wind, messy and strangely beautiful.
"He can't stand in front of everything, I have to rely on myself to gain a foothold in the Hou Mansion in the future." She said thoughtfully.
It's just a Mrs. Hou, even if you add a Qiao Ruoyun, it's nothing.
What she is worried about now is Chu Chen's planning, as well as the career of her father and the White Tiger, if the emperor ascends to the sky, can her father come back? The new emperor may not also value his father!
As for the existence of the white tiger, she always felt that Chu Chen did it intentionally, bringing him back to the capital and helping him become an upstart.
Ruosu knows Chu Chen's temperament very well, and he regards himself as the red cinnabar in his heart, which does not disgust Ruosu, but this person sometimes treats her as an ignorant young woman, who will only have sex with her, but never talk about important and sensitive topics.
Is it too well protected? Or is it too distrustful of her?
Unconsciously, I entered the east courtyard, and the maid guarding the door saw the eldest grandmother coming, so she lifted the curtain and said respectfully: "It's freezing outside, grandma, go in quickly, Mrs. is eating, it just so happens that the fourth grandmother is also waiting." β
The affairs of the Hou Mansion are all taken care of by Chu Chen, and the servants in the palace naturally respect Ruo Su very much, and it was also because the prince had not yet married a wife that he was fully responsible for taking care of everything, but now it is different, and the person who will be the master of the Hou Sect in the future is probably the young lady of the prince in front of him.
The maid guarding the door is a lot older, about seventeen or eighteen years old, she was originally the eldest girl in front of Mrs. Hou, and she also looked at the long water spirit, so she raised it by her side and trained it personally, planning to make a room for Chu Chen.
Who knew that Chu Chen's silence would make people degrade to a rough second-class subordinate.
Ruo Su bowed slightly, her attitude was modest, her little face wrapped in a cloak and velvet hat reflected the light of the lantern above her head, and she was as cunning as the crescent moon rising out of the valley, and the second-class maid looked at the appearance of the eldest grandmother, and muttered in her heart, no wonder there were hundreds of flowers blooming around the prince, but none of them could only get into the eye.
The house burned the earth dragon, but also burned the golden charcoal, Mrs. Hou likes flowers, there is a celadon twig-patterned plum bottle on the big kang near the window, there is a large handful of freshly folded plum in it, it has been smoked half-opened, and the room is full of fragrance.
Ruosu took off her cloak and walked to the side of the kang, Mrs. Hou was indeed having dinner, but the food on the small desk was untouched, and it seemed that she was still angry, when she entered the house, she happened to hear Qiao Ruoyun comforting her: "Mother, don't be angry, Xu is sister-in-law is weak, and it will be cold again, so it will be late." β
Qiao Ruoyun saw that Ruosu had arrived, so he stopped talking at the right time.
Ruo Su couldn't help but slander, her ability to appease people is really not good, wouldn't Mrs. Hou be even more angry when she said this?
That's right, this is Qiao Ruoyun's specialty, she took the opportunity to say that she was useless in front of Mrs. Hou.
However, Ruosu can't refute that she is indeed late, and the reason is indeed that her body 'can't bear it', but she is not weak.
Mrs. Hou's face was pale, Chu Beiyan and Chu Chen went out for a few hours, but they still hadn't returned, and they were going to leave early tomorrow morning, she was already reluctant, and she was very annoyed by Ruosu's repeated lateness.
Ruo Su smiled: "The fourth brother and sister are also here, why don't you serve your mother first?" Meals that are cold can hurt your stomach. β
Qiao Ruoyun's face froze, whether it hurt his stomach or not, naturally it was the disciple of the divine doctor who had the final say.
Chu Ji is on an errand in Jinyi Weibei Town, the Chu family has been a military general for generations, and Chu Chen is also a leader in martial arts strategy, but Chu Ji is not able to hold the pen, he can't grab it, and he has been mixed in the yamen for two years and has not made progress, and the fourth room has to rely on Chu Chen.
She also wanted to echo a few words, but in the face of Ruosu, she didn't want to show weakness at all, it was clear that she was someone who was once inferior to her, how could she climb on her head in drops?
It's not that he relies on a beautiful face, and Chu Chen, who hooked, was fascinated.
But the love of men in the world is easy to come and easy to go.
Qiao Ruoyun has deeply understood this truth, Chu Ji was still kind to her at the beginning, but after a long time, it has been like that, and now she has gone to Wei Mingxiangyuan a lot of times.
How uncomfortable it was to be left out, Qiao Ruoyun knew it very well.
Therefore, she has been knocking on the side by Mrs. Hou's side, and the matter of carrying a concubine for Chu Chen is also ridiculous to say, how can one of her younger siblings be qualified to meddle in the affairs of the inner courtyard of the eldest son in the house?
It's just that Mrs. Hou is a rough person, otherwise no matter how much she defends Qiao Ruoyun, she will let her kneel in the ancestral hall for a few days.
The matter of the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Hou family, how can she be asked by a mere four grandmothers?!
It's a joke!
"Why don't the four siblings speak? Am I not right? The mother is over four years old, and she will have a good life. Ruo Su glanced at the food on the table, and said, "Whatever brainless thing is for Mrs. to eat!" This kind of greasy and spicy thing can't even be eaten by an adult man, how can the lady eat it, come on, remove the dishes, and let the kitchen make two healthy consommΓ©s again. β
The people in the room looked at each other, stunned, and saw that Mrs. Hou did not speak, probably by default, so they withdrew the meal as they said.
Mrs. Hou is most afraid of the decay of her appearance, Chu Beiyan has only married her in her life, what a favor this is, she took care of food, and forgot to refute Ruosu for a while.
If Su is inherited by Zhen, she says that if she can't eat something, then she can't eat it.
Mrs. Hou saw that she had already begun to make a move.
Qiao Ruoyun bit her lip, the brocade in her hand was crumpled into a ball, before Ruosu entered the door, Mrs. Hou was obedient to her words.
But now, the more I look at it, the more I feel empty.
Ruosu stood beside Mrs. Hou: "Parents, the marriage between the daughter-in-law and Brother Chu has made you tired, in the future, you have to have a good life, you must not eat something that should not be eaten, listen to some words that should not be heard, and the disease will enter from the mouth and ears." β
Mrs. Hou's body was stiff, and she had already brewed a stomach full of lessons, just waiting for Ruosu to come and teach her how to 'be a wife' and how to be a 'daughter-in-law'.
But no matter how she listened to this little girl's words, she didn't know where to speak.
Managing the marriage of her eldest son was supposed to be her as a mother, and she didn't actually do anything, Chu Chen took care of everything in the house.
I can't afford the name of 'hard work'.
Mrs. Hou also knew that Ruo Su was Chu Chen's heart, even if she scolded a few words, she would not really do anything to her.
Chu Chen thought that Ruosu was thin-skinned, and even the red Xipa was not allowed to be taken out by Mama to give her a 'look' at her mother, which showed how much she was spoiled.
β...... You have this filial piety, by the way, what about Chu Chen? He hasn't come back yet? Mrs. Hou digressed from the topic.
Qiao Ruoyun on the side almost scolded angrily, what does it mean to be filial? Who has been with Mrs. Hou all the time?
Ruo Suqiao replied with a smile: "Not yet, mother, don't worry, Brother Chu is the most concerned about his mother, if he comes back, he won't be the first to come to see you." β
As a mother's vanity, I like to hear nothing more than my son thinking about herself.
If Susheng is charming, but the dress is very light and delicate, so that people will inevitably have a good impression of it, coupled with the young age, there is a light baby fat on the face, and at first glance it is the obedient daughter-in-law of the 'harmless little hundred flowers'.
Mrs. Hou was not so panicked in her heart.
"You husband and wife are harmonious, I am happy, Chu Chen is the eldest son in the family, the heir is particularly important, you can't be sloppy." This is the big thing that Mrs. Hou cares about.
Ruosu nodded, not shirking at all, her husband could only have children with her.
What I didn't dare to fight for in my previous life, I must firmly grasp it in this life.
One life, one heart.
"My daughter-in-law knows." If you are very generous, you should go down.
Qiao Ruoyun almost choked, she was really thick-skinned!
The food in the kitchenette has not yet been served, in fact, it is not long before the noon feast is over, and I will never be hungry.
Ruo Su ordered someone to send a wooden box over, and also sent someone to invite Chu Chun and Chu Lan sisters to come.
Mrs. Hou was helped to the square table by Ruosu, and she asked, "What are you doing?" β
Ruo Su smiled: "Mother, this is called mahjong, which my daughter-in-law will learn from others in Lingnan, and it is more interesting than leaf cards." β
Mrs. Hou was good at this, guided by Ruosu, and formed a table with Chu Chun and Chu Lan, and several people quickly mastered the essentials, and they were already very proficient after a few rounds.
Because there are only four people in mahjong, Qiao Ruoyun is Chu Ji's wife, the first two sisters are there, and Ruosu is also her eldest sister-in-law, so she can only stand on one side and 'watch the game'.
--------
Before nightfall, a carriage covered with green curtains drove in from the corner gate of the Hou Mansion in the north of the town.
Chu Beiyan rarely rode in the same carriage with his eldest son, his expression was worried, and a mark had formed on his tightly locked brows, he was handsome and tall, and Chu Chen's appearance and body shape were all with him.
"This matter... You've already decided? β
Chu Chen didn't have the slightest anxiety of Chu Beiyan, and said calmly: "Well, my son knows it in his heart, and my father can guard Datong with peace of mind." β
Chu Beiyan led the troops to fight quite well, but in terms of strategy, he was inferior to the eldest son, he asked: "What is the movement on the Wen family's side?" Master Wen is in Northern Xinjiang, in your opinion, does the death of the Eighth Prince have anything to do with him? β
The carriage stopped, Chu Chen was silent, and pulled the curtain to let Chu Beiyan go down first.
The two stepped into the mezzanine side by side, and Chu Chen said: "It was the son who ordered someone to kill, and it is not good for the court that he is alive." β
The old emperor once guarded in northern Xinjiang, and it was not a Jedi turnaround, he fought all the way into Beijing and cut off the head of the first prince!
"What! You! Chu Beiyan was stunned, immediately stood still, pointed to the eldest son with one hand backwards, and pointed at the eldest son with the other, and said after a while: "Do you know that killing the royal heir is to cut off the head!" β
Chu Chen's expression was calm: "It's okay, no one will find out, father rest assured." β
"Hey! The matter has come to this, no matter what, you have to take care of the overall situation and the Chu family in everything! I don't want to worry about the other things. However, although my son is thoughtful, he must not take it lightly, General Wen is unfathomable, and Wen Tianyou also needs to be careful. Chu Beiyan threw up his sleeves and left, anyway, this mansion will be inherited by the eldest son sooner or later, and the bloodline and title of the Chu family will have to be inherited by him.
Chu Chen looked back, you can see the stars in the sky, but the half of the crescent moon is the ultimate brilliance, no matter how bright the stars are, how can they be compared with the bright moon? !
Zhu Hongye should have died a long time ago, and he should have been killed in his previous life.
directly killed him, which can be regarded as light!
Chu Chen stood in the cold wind for a while, then walked into the small pavilion, and Yinchun reported to him: "Lord Shizi, grandma has gone to say hello to Mrs., it's been an hour, and she hasn't come back yet." Between the words, there is a melancholy.
How can a new daughter-in-law not be harshly criticized by her mother-in-law? Thinking about the delicate little body of the grandmother, Yinchun can't stand it.
As soon as the words fell, Chu Chen strode in the direction of the east courtyard.
When the servants in the east courtyard saw Chu Chen, they all bowed their heads and saluted, Chu Chen didn't even look at it, and went straight into the house with the curtain.
The sound of the woman's laughter instantly hit his ears, and he caught the light smile on Ruosu's face for the first time, Ruosu also saw him, and the two were separated by a distance of ten or so steps, looking at each other in pairs, and the air was also hot.
The newlywed Yan'er is like glue, probably like that!
Chu Chen approached a few steps and said to Mrs. Hou, "Mother, my son greets you." β
Mrs. Hou waved her hand and motioned for him not to bother.
Chu Chen looked at the mahjong on the square table, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said, "Mother plays first, and my son takes Su Su back first." β
Mrs. Hou didn't stop her, so she let Qiao Ruoyun take her place.
Qiao Ruoyun peeked at Chu Chen from the corner of her eyes, she was already Chu Ji's wife, but every time she saw Chu Chen, her heart still beat faster.
"What kind of evil mother-in-law am I, I can't eat her! Look at your eldest brother's nervousness, you didn't have this nervousness when you were young. Mrs. Hou, Chu Chun, and Chu Lan quipped.
Qiao Ruoyun didn't feel good when she heard it.
Chu Chun smiled: "No, the eldest brother followed his father." β
Mrs. Hou immediately hooked her red lips slightly, and the resentment in her heart could no longer be found.
At this time, Ruosu put on a cloak and was led away by Chu Chen, Chu Chen was worried that she was still in pain, so he picked people up when he left the east courtyard, he was tall and straight, Ruosu was hugged like this, and he suddenly rose visually, which was strange and uncomfortable.
"You let me down, someone is watching."
Chu Chen chuckled, all the previous gloom and solemnity dissipated, and in front of her, all he showed was the sunny and beautiful side.
"Let them see, you and I are husband and wife, so what's the matter!" Chu Chen smiled.
In his previous life, he was always sticking to him, but he was not as shy as he is now.
Where did she know about shame?
It's an out-and-out goblin!
It's very strange, the little wife is obviously weak and petite, but it is a soft ball in his arms, he likes this touch very much, and once he touches it, he can't put it down.
The two went back to the small pavilion, if she wanted to take a bath, it seemed that someone had wiped it for her last night, but then she vaguely felt that this person had pressed it up again, and she tossed for a while.
The mother-in-law brought hot water in, and Chu Chen was also in the house, so he waved off his subordinates and changed her clothes in person.
Ruo Su was willing to push away his big palm, but Chu Chen pinched his thin waist: "What are you hiding?" Is there anything else I haven't seen? You can handle my mother, it can be seen that you are bold, and you will know that you are afraid? β
