Chapter 3: The Ancestor is Coming
Zhou Baolu sat on the side and accompanied him for a while, and when he saw Chen's eyes gradually closing, he retreated lightly to the outside room and led the maids to pack up the cage that Chen brought back.
While asking in a low voice how Mangyu Chen was outside.
Since Chen's miscarriage that year, he has really become weaker, and his body is as weak as a day, Zhou Baolu has remembered that his mother has been recuperating in the hot spring hospital for seven or eight months in a year, especially in winter, and he can't live in the imperial capital, and he won't even come back for the New Year.
Leaving this courtyard and these people, Chen seems to be more relaxed and better.
Mang Yu also replied in a low voice: "This year is warmer than in previous years, and Madame's body seems to be better, and the heartache has only been sent once, but I still can't sleep much at night, and it is good to be able to sleep two times." ”
Zhou Baolu sighed: "Uncle is the same, my aunt has said it several times in front of me, and it doesn't work to take pills, but it seems better to light that kind of incense, I also took some before, and sandwiched it on the car to deliver things to my mother, can they give it to you?" ”
Mang Yu said: "I got two boxes, but I don't seem to have much effect on my wife." ”
I don't know who deducted another box! Zhou Baolu didn't want to pursue it at this time, but said: "Since my mother is back, I will invite the doctor from the Tai Hospital to take a look and take some pills." ”
asked about Chen's diet and daily life, several of Chen's big maids were selected by themselves in the room, not the children of the house, among them, there seems to be the handwriting of Mrs. Chen, Zhou Baolu is trustworthy to them, and they are also very respectful.
Mang Yu carefully replied to Zhou Baolu about the things outside, although the hot spring villa is the property of the Zhou family, but there are no important people in it, let alone Mrs., it is Mrs.'s big girl, who is several floors higher there, who dares to embarrass it? As the only master, Chen's affairs are handed over to Mang Yu and other maids, and he is also at ease.
Eating and drinking are all fresh and good food sent by their own Zhuangzi every day, and the princess's mansion also sends a car to send all kinds of things to Mrs. Shizi every ten years, Chen walks in the yard every day, and soaks in the hot springs every few days, Zhou Baolu feels that her mother is indeed much better outside than at home.
It's not just light, it's comforting.
After talking for a long time, Zhou Baolu looked at the packing up of a lot of things and came out, she divided some gifts, wrote the same signs, and prepared to send them to the Chen family, at this time it was getting late, Zhou Baolu sent the little girl: "Go to the ancestor to see if there is dinner." At this moment, there was a commotion in the courtyard outside, and the maid raised the curtain high: "The prince is here." ”
Zhou Baolu already knew it in her heart, and when she turned around, she whispered to her other maid, Zhu Tang: "Go back to the princess." ”
Zhu Tang hurriedly slipped out of the back door.
Zhou Jilin, the prince of Zhenguo, stepped into the door with a gloomy face.
Zhou Jilin is three years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, and he originally had a brother who was crowned the son, but he was blessed, and he disappeared after just a year of marriage, leaving only a posthumous son, who is only fifteen this year.
After the elder brother went, because of the face of Jing and the eldest princess, the saint named Zhou Jilin as the prince of Zhenguo, and his younger brother Zhou Jiyun as the second son.
Zhou Jilin described Duangui, quite a bit of the charm of a noble son, if you talk about appearance and temperament, Zhou Jilin and Chen are also a pair of beautiful people, but Zhou Baolu knows that this is just a face.
Speaking of which, Zhou Baolu hasn't seen her father for a few months, she only came back from the Dragon Boat Festival, and she saw her father, and in the past two months, she has not changed much when she sees her father, she is still noble and thin, but she is slightly paler, and her eyes are a little vague, and at this time her face is even more gloomy, and the color on her face is not color.
Zhou Baolu knew it, but when she couldn't see it, she saw her father enter the door, and took a few steps to bless her body: "Say hello to my father." ”
Zhou Jilin snorted and looked up and down, this daughter is not small, she already has the appearance of a big girl, her body has reached his shoulders, and she looks like the Chen family, so he feels uncomfortable when he looks at it.
Zhou Jilin turned around and sat down on the Taishi chair above, and said angrily: "You did a good thing!" ”
The smile on Zhou Baolu's face faded, and she said with a puzzled expression: "What did my daughter do wrong to let her father say this?" ”
Although she was told such a sentence by her father because of her head, she was just at a loss, and she was a little aggrieved, but she was not afraid.
This is also Zhou Jilin's least favorite point of this daughter, since she was a child, she has never been afraid of him, no matter how young she is, let alone him, even her mother, the mighty eldest princess, Zhou Baolu has never been afraid of her, sometimes, when Zhou Baolu was a little younger, several times Zhou Jilin was in front of Jing and the eldest princess, and he had to rely on Zhou Baolu to relieve him.
is also because of this, it seems difficult for him to show the momentum of being a father in front of Zhou Baolu.
Zhou Jilin said angrily: "Dare to ask me what you did wrong!" The eldest lady came home today to play majestic? The girl's family, who doesn't know the virginity and virtuous lady at all, is like a savage, and has no rules at all! I didn't agree with each other, beat and scolded, and copied my home, but I didn't copy this princess's mansion, where did you learn the rules you taught on weekdays? Where is there still a little bit of the appearance of Miss Everybody! ”
Zhou Baolu raised her head and looked at her father with an angry face, and said calmly: "Don't agree with each other? Who does the daughter disagree with? Please also ask my father to make it clear. ”
Zhou Jilin hated the very obvious tone of the Chen family's speech when his daughter spoke, that kind of calm and indifferent, almost alive is a copy of her uncle Chen Xihua, with a condescending taste, Zhou Jilin always feels that when he speaks, there always seems to be a hidden disdain, as if he looks down on himself, but because of his good upbringing, he hides behind his smile and does not show it, but it makes Zhou Jilin feel uncomfortable all the time.
I always feel that I am looked down on by him, as if I am always inferior to him.
Yes, when Zhou Baolu said this, Zhou Jilin became even more angry, Huo stood up and took two steps: "You still don't admit it in front of you?" Did you take the maid to raid Aunt Wang's house today, you are really daring! Aunt Wang is also your elder after all, don't you know how to respect? Why don't you say it slowly, besides, who is in charge of such a thing, why don't you come back to me first? You dare to take someone to raid her yard, Ming'er, are you even going to be my home! ”
Zhou Baolu sneered and said slowly: "It turned out to be Aunt Wang." Father Mingjian, Aunt Wang is just a slave in our yard, but not my elders, on weekdays, I give her face and call her an aunt, that is also because she is the one who serves her father, it is nothing more than my filial piety. But it is not her turn to disagree with me, which gentleman, which grandmother has taught me, nor has she taught the master to reason with the slave, only I tell her everything, how can she be qualified to disagree with me! ”
Aunt Wang hid outside the door and listened quietly, listening to Zhou Baolu's mouthful of a minion, half of her life's face was peeled off, her face turned red more and more, her silver teeth were crushed, and she scolded countless times in her stomach, but she still didn't dare to scold.
Zhou Jilin was blackened by Zhou Baolu's words, Aunt Wang was gentle and charming, and gave birth to two sons to him, compared to the Chen family who couldn't give birth to a son, Aunt Wang is more and more the person on the top of his heart, as soon as he entered the courtyard today, Aunt Wang cried and fainted in front of him, and kept saying that he had no face to live in this courtyard, and asked Zhou Jilin to send their mother and son to the courtyard outside.
Zhou Jilin saw Aunt Wang crying, his son also cried, even the youngest son didn't understand anything, seeing his mother and brother crying, he couldn't help crying, that chaotic scene made Zhou Jilin angry, and turned around to come to the main room to discipline his daughter.
I didn't expect my daughter, who I rarely saw, to be so articulate and unforgiving, so he had nothing to say, so he couldn't help but be angry: "Bastard! Dare to speak! ”
Zhou Baolu was not afraid at all, raised her head and said calmly: "Where did my daughter say something wrong, please ask my father to make it clear!" ”
At this time, the Chen family had been woken up by such a big movement outside, and hurriedly put on his coat and came out, and saw the scene of the father and daughter drawing their bows, and hurriedly stopped their daughter first: "Lu'er, father speaks, you just listen, how can this be." ”
He turned back to persuade Zhou Jilin: "Master, Lu'er is still young, what did she do wrong, the master only taught her, if she was scared, I was afraid that the ancestor would not be comfortable." ”
Was she a little frightened?
Zhou Jilin was a little stupid, but his daughter did have a face in front of the ancestors, and when Chen said this, he was also a little afraid that his mother would be unhappy, so he snorted and said, "Look at the good daughter you taught!" I'm not dead yet, so I took my home, how can I have any filial piety, it's really lawless! ”
The house she copied Aunt Wang became his home, Zhou Baolu only felt sad in her heart, but her face did not show anything, but although Chen was afraid of Zhou Jilin, it was always her instinct to protect her daughter, and she couldn't help but say: "Lu'er's temper is a little impatient, but it's not a big deal, Wang's there, I'll persuade it, Lu'er will change it in the future, and she will never punish Miss for her aunt, the lord said but." ”
At this point, Zhou Jilin also knew in his heart that even if Aunt Wang was the first person in his heart, she was just an aunt, if she really punished Zhou Baolu for her, nothing else, and her mother couldn't explain it.
Thinking about it like this, Zhou Jilin was a little depressed, but Aunt Wang was in a hurry outside, she was a person who knew Zhou Jilin very well, and knew that he was planning to die down like this, where was he willing to be willing, he quietly said two words in his son Zhou Anhua's ear, twisted him hard, and pushed him in.
Zhou Anhua was twisted by his mother's pain, tears immediately rushed out, he staggered two steps, threw himself on his father's knees, and cried: "Daddy, daddy, my sister beat me!" ”
So, Zhou Jilin was furious again: "What's the matter? ”
This is also Aunt Wang's calculation, deliberately kept Zhou Anhua's previous actions and didn't say anything, and when needed, pushed Zhou Anhua out to cry, the child naturally won't say the cause and effect when he speaks, even if it was later found out that Zhou Anhua went to beat his sister first, it was just because the child couldn't speak.
At this time, Zhou Jilin's anger was still unsettled, and Zhou Anhua just provoked Zhou Jilin's fire again.
Zhou Baolu said calmly: "I didn't beat my brother, but he came to beat me, and I just blocked him." ”
Zhou Anhua saw that Zhou Jilin was suspicious, he didn't speak for a while, relying on his father's favor on weekdays, he suddenly sat on the ground and rolled over, crying loudly: "My sister beat me, my sister scolded my aunt, and she beat me, and scolded me for being a slave...... Daddy......"
Zhou Jilin really became furious: "He is my son, he is a slave, so what are you!" ”
Zhou Baolu was unmoved: "I didn't say that about my brother." ”
Chen Shi was also busy saying: "Lu'er didn't say that, old man, ......"
Where could Zhou Jilin listen: "She didn't say that, Hua'er is such a child, where does she know such bastard words!" Even if you don't say it at this time, you must have said it in private. ”
The more Zhou Jilin thought about it at this time, the more angry he became, especially Zhou Baolu's attitude, he didn't put his father in his eyes at all, he just stood calmly in front of him, at his age, in front of his parents, not to mention that his parents were angry, but whenever there was a trace of unhappiness, he was busy kneeling down and asking for guilt, she was like this......
Where is the appearance of being a daughter!
Zhou Jilin's chest couldn't help but rise and fall, and he ordered: "Come here, please come to the family law!" Today, you must have a good life to teach you the rules, it is really more and more lawless, I don't know how to love my brother, I don't know how to honor my parents, where to raise such a bastard! ”
Chen was shocked, and hurriedly pulled Zhou Jilin to persuade: "The master is angry, the master is angry, Lu'er is a girl in the end, how can she use family law, the master just admonishes her, and I will teach her ......."
Tears of urgency came out.
went to pull Zhou Baolu again: "Don't kneel down and admit your mistake to your father!" ”
Zhou Baolu stiffened his neck: "What was wrong with me?" ”
Zhou Jilin became more and more annoyed and said: "This is the good daughter you taught!" ”
Angry for a while, I couldn't wait for the family law, I picked up the folding fan on the table that I threw on the table, and hit Zhou Baolu with my head and face, Zhou Baolu was not stupid, where was he stupidly standing and being beaten, turned around and ran out, shouting while running: "Old ancestor, old ancestor!" ”
rushed out of the door and saw Aunt Wang who was hiding outside eavesdropping, Zhou Baolu knew what she had done, and showed a strange smile to Aunt Wang in vain.
This laughter is so incompatible with the current scene, and Aunt Wang has a strange omen in her heart that is very difficult to explain.
Zhou Jilin also stepped out of the door in two steps, and scolded in his mouth: "It's against you, stand for me!" ”
Chen hurriedly persuaded her, she was not a person who could watch the scene, but she was afraid that her daughter would suffer, so she instinctively grabbed Zhou Jilin, where did Zhou Jilin pay attention to her, and as soon as she struggled, she pushed the delicate Chen to the ground, and chased Zhou Baolu angrily.
As soon as he passed through the Moon Cave Gate, before he finished scolding, he saw his mother Jing and the eldest princess standing majestically in front of the door, pursing their lips tightly, and pulling out two extremely profound lines.
