Chapter 62: Mother and Child (1)
Shen Shizheng, the troupe finished singing, and all the guests also said goodbye together.
Xu Zheng has been following Ji Ze and staying with the male guests. At this time, I finally saw Xu Jinyu, glanced at it hurriedly, and asked with concern, "It's okay today!" ”
Xu Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Well, it's all good." ”
Xu Zheng was relieved: "That's good." After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice and asked, "Chen Yuanqing quietly slipped away alone for a long time, and he has not been seen since then. Did he go to see you privately? ”
"Nope." Xu Jinyu lied without changing her face: "I have been sitting and watching the play, but then I got bored, so I led Chu Xia to sit in the garden for a while, and I didn't see Cousin Yuanqing." ”
Xu Zheng was not suspicious, and only advised: "In short, there are many people, you are cautious and careful in everything." ”
Xu Jinyu responded softly, but sighed in her heart.
Her cold and ruthless refusal must have broken Chen Yuanqing's heart. In the future, he would never go to the Marquis of Weining's mansion to see her with joy and enthusiasm. Xu Zheng doesn't have to worry anymore.
She only had helplessness and regret in her heart.
In the past life, we parted with death, and this life passed by.
The two of them are destined to be inseparable after all
Ye led his eldest daughter-in-law Yuan to send the guests one by one, and Tao was not idle, and was busy until the evening. When all the guests were gone, I was relieved. It was only at this moment that Tao noticed that Chen Yuanqing had not been seen for half a day.
Tao immediately sent the maids around him to Moyuanju to find someone.
Chen Yuanqing and Chen Yuanzhao are the most affectionate, as long as Chen Yuanzhao is in the mansion, he will also live in Moyuan nine times out of ten.
After waiting for a stick of incense, Chen Yuanqing came back.
Tao greeted him with a smile: "Yuan Qing, where have you been running for half a day?" Why is your face so ugly? Not only is his face ugly and dark, but his eyes also seem to be a little red and swollen, which is clearly like crying.
Chen Yuanqing has grown so big that the number of times he has cried can be counted on one hand. Tao was heartbroken and annoyed, and asked eagerly: "Yuan Qing, who bullied you?" ”
Chen Yuanqing was in a very bad mood, and he couldn't squeeze out a smile: "Mother, no one bullied me." ”
"No one bullied you, how could you be like this." Tao didn't believe a word at all: "Did Yuan Bai say anything, or Yuan Zhao?" If you refuse to say so, I'll go and ask both of them for myself now. ”
Chen Yuanqing smiled helplessly: "Mother, don't think nonsense." It really has nothing to do with the eldest brother and the second brother, I just wasn't in a good mood, and I stayed alone in Moyuanju for an afternoon. It's much better now. ”
Not in the good mood?
Tao was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "It's so good, why are you suddenly in a bad mood?" ”
There are many ways to love your son. Dow happens to be the kind of person who has to get to the bottom of everything. When he is in a good mood, Chen Yuanqing is willing to deal with it, but when he is in a bad mood, he has a headache when he encounters such a serious question.
Chen Yuanqing said whimsically: "Mother, I don't want to talk now." Don't ask, I'll tell you in a few days when I'm calmer. ”
With that, he turned around and went back to his room.
Tao furrowed his brows, thought about it, and told the maid next to him to call Qiaojuan over. Qiaojuan is Chen Yuanqing's personal maid, and she knows Chen Yuanqing's every move best.
"Qiaojuan, did Yuan Qing go to Moyuanju this afternoon?"
Qiao Juan's eyes were a little flustered, but she didn't dare not answer: "Yes, the young master has been staying in Mo Yuanju." ”
Tao stared at Qiao Juan tightly: "Besides Yuan Qing, who else has been to Mo Yuanju?" ”
Qiao Juan lowered her eyes: "The slave doesn't know very well."
Tao snorted coldly, interrupted Qiaojuan, and said in a stern voice: "If you dare to say half a word of lie, I will immediately order someone to call Ya Pozi to take you away!" ”
Qiaojuan's face turned pale, her legs were weak, and she knelt down with a plop: "Madame, how dare the slave dare to coax you, but the young master told me that today's incident must not be reported to Madame." In fact, today the young master privately made an appointment with Miss Xu to meet in Moyuanju. What was said, the slave and maid were not clear."
What the?
Yuan Qing actually had a private meeting with Xu Jinyu in Moyuanju?
No matter what the two said, once this kind of thing spreads, Chen Yuanqing's reputation will not be cleared. What if the Xu family takes the opportunity to rely on this family business?
Tao's mind buzzed, and he gritted his teeth angrily: "This Yuan Qing is really confused!" How can you do such a private thing? That Xu Jinyu is too shameless, how can he see Yuan Qing in private? In the end, he was born in a small family, and he didn't do things in a measured way."
Tao was furious, Qiaojuan was so frightened that she didn't dare to defend herself.
How can you blame Miss Xu for this?
Obviously, the young master took the initiative to ask Miss Xu to meet!
Dow was angry, finally calmed down a little, and asked, "Who else knows about today's events except you?" ”
Qiao Juan didn't dare to hide it, and responded cautiously: "The guards in Mo Yuan's house also know about it. There is also the second young master, who somehow returned to Moyuanju in advance and also met Miss Xu. ”
Dow took a deep breath: "Today's events are not allowed to reveal half a word to others. If I hear any gossip, you are the only one who asks! ”
The last sentence is in a cold tone.
Qiao Juan responded tremblingly, got up and retreated.
As soon as Qiaojuan left, Tao sat alone with a gloomy face for a long time, and then went to Mo Yuanju in person
Chen Yuanzhao was not surprised at all when he saw Tao.
Tao didn't beat around the bush: "I came to you for Yuan Qing's business." He is still young, hot-blooded and impulsive, and it is inevitable that he will do something dizzy. I will discipline him well for today's matter, and I beg you to restrain the people in Mo Yuan's house and let them not spread this matter at will. ”
Chen Yuanzhao's expression remained unchanged, and he only nodded, which was considered to be a response.
Dow breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Yuanzhao has always been true to his word, and he will definitely do what he promises.
Mo Yuanju is Chen Yuanzhao's personal soldiers, as long as Chen Yuanzhao gives an order, no one dares to leak a word. Today, Chen Yuanqing and Xu Jinyu met in private, and it will not be spread.
Chen Yuanzhao seemed to see Tao's thoughts, and said briefly: "Don't worry, Yuanqing will figure it out soon." ”
He was originally worried that Chen Yuanqing was enthusiastic and impulsive, and he made a private agreement with Xu Jinyu for life. However, Xu Jinyu had simply and decisively rejected Chen Yuanqing's affection. What really bothered him was something else
"Yuan Zhao, I'm not afraid of you laughing when I say it. Your second uncle died early, and I have no other hope in my life, I just hope that Yuan Qing can have a future. Yuan Bai serves in the Ministry of War, and you are now in charge of the Divine Guard, only Yuan Qing is the most worried. Tao sighed: "He doesn't want to practice martial arts, he wants to study and take the imperial examination, and I let him do it." But this lifelong event must not be caused by him. That Miss Xu is really good-looking, but her family background is really not worth mentioning. There is no father, only a widowed mother and a brother. If you get married to such a family, instead of the Yue family's support in the future, you will have to take care of the Xu family everywhere."
The more Dow spoke, the more depressed he became.
No matter what, she would never agree to this family business!
Chen Yuanzhao is too familiar with these words.
In his previous life, Dow cried with a handful of snot and tears, and the words are still in his ears. For the sake of a mere woman, Chen Yuanqing actually wanted to divorce his wife, resign from office, abandon his mother, and flee from the capital privately.
He reprimanded Chen Yuanqing fiercely, ordered Chen Yuanqing to be placed under house arrest in the mansion, and went to see Xu Jinyu in person and warned him sharply.
The thin, pale beautiful woman, her face flushed, straightened her waist and retorted. kept saying that he had no thoughts about Chen Yuanqing.
Of course he didn't believe it! If she hadn't said anything or done it, how could Chen Yuanqing make such a decision?
The memories that followed were really painful
Chen Yuanzhao's eyes darkened, and he waved away the thoughts that came to his mind.
After Tao chattered for a while, his mood finally calmed down, and seeing Chen Yuanzhao's expressionless face, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "I've bothered you for so long, I should go back too." ”
Up and down in this house, who doesn't know Chen Yuanzhao's temper? The cold face is ruthless, and he can't say ten words a day. Mo Yuanju has always been quiet. She said so much just now, Chen Yuanzhao was afraid that she would be impatient to listen to it a long time ago.
Chen Yuanzhao got up and sent Tao out.
As soon as the Tao family left, the maid Pearl beside the Ye family came: "Second young master, Madame asked you to pass away and settle down, saying that there is something important to discuss." ”
Chen Yuanzhao frowned impatiently.
What else could the Ye clan have to discuss with him? Speaking of which, it's nothing more than a matter of getting married
As expected.
When he arrived at Shi'an Hall, Ye opened his mouth with a smile and said, "Yuan Zhao, there are so many famous ladies in the mansion today, do you have anything you like?" ”
Without waiting for Chen Yuanzhao to answer, Ye Shi said with great interest: "I have a few matches today. Now I'll tell you one by one, which one do you like, and I'll let people come to the door to propose marriage immediately. The first is the eldest lady in Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, the eldest daughter of a serious concubine, with a bright and generous appearance. There is also the daughter of Lord Zhao of the Ministry of Rites, who has an excellent upbringing and is very dignified. And "
"Needless to say." Chen Yuanzhao interrupted Ye without any expression: "I didn't like anyone." ”
Ye's smile froze, the anger in his eyes flashed, and he immediately pressed it down: "If you don't have a picture, it doesn't matter." After a few days, I asked the Yuan family to set up a flower-viewing banquet, and invited some more daughters to come to the door, and there will always be a match. ”
Chen Yuanzhao tugged at the corners of his lips, and his voice was cold: "Don't bother my mother, I don't want to get married for the time being." ”
All of Ye's words were choked back. The face is red and white, very exciting.
Chen Yuanzhao still looked cold: "If the mother has no other instructions, the son will retire." ”
So saying, he turned and left.
Ye Huo Ran got up and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "You stop me!" ”
Chen Yuanzhao paused: "What else does my mother command?" ”R1152
