Chapter 400: A Feeling of Home
"Ikyo Pier. I don't know how many people are sent to this Jia, what is the public day. Life and death have not happened a lot, so no one pays attention to Chu Zhen's gaffe, except for a few idlers who cast a few glances, the rest of the people are too busy with their own affairs to come, how can they have time to pay attention to others.
"Mother misses you too." Mrs. Hui smiled quietly, carefully looked at Chu Qian, and said softly: "I haven't seen you for a year, but she has grown up again, but she has lost a lot of weight, and she must have suffered outside."
A year, and the physical development period, eating is the world's beautiful cow, but life is not easy, running around is more effective than active exercise, the body not only grows a few inches taller, Bai Zhe's delicate skin is also a healthy layer of wheat, the velvet at the corners of the lips is gradually turning blue and thick, at first glance, it seems to be the same as before.
Naturally, the mother and son are connected, no matter what Chu Zhi becomes, there is no need to look closely at all, Mrs. Hui can distinguish it, a pair of soft eyes full of joy, take out the silk scarf, and gently wipe the tears overflowing from Chu Qian.
A faint shame appeared on Junyi's face, and he quickly wiped away the tears on his face, and Chu asked, "Mother, how do you know that the child has arrived in Bianjing today?" ”
A maiden next to her explained: "The second son doesn't know, since she received the letter from the son, Mrs. Hui has been waiting here every day, leaving early and returning late, it has been many days. ”
Chu Zhen was moved in his heart: "Mother, the child has tired you." ”
"I'm not tired, my mother just hopes to see Qian'er come back soon." Mrs. Hui said calmly, her beautiful eyes shining with kindness.
Mrs. Hui was well, and when the two of them were talking about their family affection, everyone on the boat walked down one after another, and under the leadership of Chu'er Dao Changgui and others, they came to salute and say hello.
"It's good to be back, it's hard for you to gently hold Chu'er's hand, Mrs. Hui smiled and said: "Chu'er hasn't changed, I haven't seen her for some days, and her demeanor is graceful, but she is a little more beautiful than before." ”
The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, the first child's pretty face immediately drooped, dyed with clouds, she was already beautiful and pretty, after the continuous development and moisturization of Chu quality, the youth on the body gradually dissipated, and the eye waves flowed, there was a kind of charming charm.
"Madame is beautiful. Like the bright moon in the sky, the first child is just the posture of the willows, how can it be called beautiful. ”
"Chu'er is sweet and pleasing to people." As if she was aware of it, Mrs. Hui smiled lightly, stroked the back of her hand, and said softly: "Qian'er has been in Qiantang for a long time, and you have to take care of it, and I should thank you as a mother."
Mrs. was frightened and frightened, thinking of Chu Qian's distress experience, Chu'er's eyes were slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "It's Chu'er who is incompetent and didn't take care of his son carefully, so he suffered." ”
Don't blame yourself, it seems that you know some things if you have nothing to do with it, Mrs. Hui comforted and sighed lightly: "The man is different from his daughter's family, he is naturally reckless, and his temperament is coming, and he can't stop it if you want to." ”
On the side, he ordered a few servants to stay and pack their luggage, Chu Zhen came over and smiled: "Mother, let's go home first."
"Okay, go back, the family is looking forward to your return." Mrs. Hui smiled softly: "The third uncle was still thinking about starting to prepare for the banquet to wash the dust for you yesterday, but he was prescient. ”
In the downtown to take care of a few carriages, Chu Zhen first helped Mrs. Hui up, and then sat opposite her with Chu'er, explained the location to the coachman, the vehicle moved forward slowly, the streets of Bianliang City are wide, the street is paved with large stones, and can accommodate six or seven carriages at the same time, even so, the road is full of cars and horses, and there are many pedestrians and goods, so it seems quite crowded, the car is slow, it takes half an hour, and it is out of the range of Xiangguo Temple, and comes to the big street of Dongcheng.
Chu Zhen probed out, only to see the shops on both sides of the street are dense, the streets, all walks of life, everything, the carriages, horses and pedestrians come and go, the street scene of the Shizhong, the officials on horseback, the hawkers along the street, the monks with their backpacks, the children of the wealthy families who drink in the restaurant, all kinds of people and so on shoulder to shoulder, the river is endless, noisy and lively, everything is so cordial and familiar.
Halfway, Chu Zhen turned his head slightly, but saw Mrs. Hui's beautiful eyes, always looking at herself, not like an ordinary gaze, as if she was looking for something. Slightly stunned, Chu Zhen checked himself and found nothing abnormal, so he couldn't help asking, "Mother, is there anything special about the child?"
"I heard that you are overjoyed, what kind of damage do you have? With burning eyes, Mrs. Hui said worriedly, "It's all right?" I didn't leave any hidden dangers, did I feel any discomfort on weekdays?
glared at Chu'er, found that she was innocent, and shook her head slightly, then there is only one truth, Changgui is a mole, this kid has a criminal record, and he still trusts him in vain, and sooner or later he will make him look good.
Ignoring the punishment for punishing traitors, Chu Zhen hurriedly said: "No, the child is very strong, don't listen to the nonsense of the subordinates, alarmist, what is falling off the cliff, there is no thing, at most, you accidentally slip and fall into a small pool, the water waves are floating, how can you suffer any harm."
After staring at Chu Zhen for a moment, Mrs. Hui said lightly: "It's okay, my mother will be relieved, but when I lie in the future, my eyes should not drift outward, so that people can see it at a glance."
It's okay to shoot the chest leaves, Chu Zhen laughed and said: "Besides, if you lie, you just have an old mouth... 8。 0… (Fisherman's book) a different body clam!
"Wow." Pointing at Chu Zhi's forehead, Mrs. Hui smiled shyly, "Who told you?."
Glancing lightly, Chu Zhen said softly: "Uncle."
"Who?" Mrs. Hui was slightly stunned, and asked slowly after a long time, "Is it the third brother of Antao?"
"Well, a few months ago, my uncle took over as the governor of Hangzhou, and he and I recognized him." Chu Zhen nodded and said, Relatives, isn't that a loss, and I have called my uncle for so long.
"Did he go to Hangzhou? Mrs. Hui smiled bitterly, and the Providence Lady said this, leaving people speechless, shaking her head slightly, "I wanted to tell you later." But he didn't want to, "Oh yes, he didn't say anything."
"Said a little, Chu Zhi honestly admitted.
"Don't be so honest when you should lie." Strange and muttered softly, Mrs. Hui said softly: "Qian'er, listen to my mother, no matter what you hear from your uncle, it is a matter for the elders, and you must not pay attention to it."
The child knew that Chu Zhen agreed, his vision was very positive, and he didn't look at it randomly, the problem was that he didn't know whether his answer was aimed at the first half of Mrs. Hui's words or the second half of the sentence.
The car is leisurely, Chu Zhi is interested in not opening the topic, talking about what he saw and heard in Hangzhou, and soon after, only to hear the sound of the coachman, the vehicle slowly stopped, and the Chu family was in front of him after a year of absence.
"Remember, when you go home, don't mention your uncle." Mrs. Hui admonished, and only then did she get out of the carriage lightly with the support of Chu Zhi, Chu Zhen nodded slightly, but suddenly, she heard the sound of firecrackers exploding, layers of mist were filled, red fine paper scraps were scattered, the door of Chu's house was opened, and a group of servants greeted her.
"Welcome the second son back home."
Obviously there were servants who ran back in advance to inform them, and everyone was ready, surrounded by the servants, Chu Zhen walked into the courtyard with Mrs. Hui, and the familiar arrangement came into view, and there was indeed a little feeling, no matter what, when I returned here, I inevitably felt a warm atmosphere, which was different from other places, maybe it was the feeling of home.
Accompanying Chu Zhen to stand in the courtyard, Mrs. Hui smiled softly: "Your father is still in the official office, and he will come back later, so you should go and see the eldest lady first."
This is a great gift, and Chu Zhen has no other opinions, so he obediently walks towards the main hall.
In the hall, dressed gorgeously and with an indifferent expression, Mrs. Wang is still the same as before, and will not easily show her emotions, but Yun Niang, who is at the bottom, has a somewhat complicated expression, sometimes dark and sometimes bright, like joy and sorrow, hugging Chu Jie, but looking out of the hall.
Relatively speaking, Chu Jie, who is immature, is the most happy, and I heard that Chu Zhi is back. I vaguely remember the second brother who often gave him delicious food, and he missed the small mouth slowly overflowing with saliva.
The bead curtain was lifted, and accompanied by Mrs. Hui, Chu Zhen walked in slowly, walked in front of Mrs. Wang, and said with a deep salute: "Auntie, she is home, and I have come to ask."
The soft lips hooked a rare light smile, Mrs. Wang's attitude was gentle, and she said kindly: "Well, it's good to come back, it's hard work all the way." ”
"I am eager to return home, but I don't feel hard." Chu Zhen said, bowing to Yun Niang, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how is my aunt?" ”
Okay, it's all good Yun Niang smiled charmingly, a little unable to sit still, twisted her body, let go of her hand, put down Chu Jie, and gestured slightly.
Chu Jie's small steps came and said softly: "Jie'er meets the second brother and welcomes the second brother home."
"That's good." Chu Zhi chuckled, couldn't help pinching his delicate little face, and took out a box of rose mille-feuille cakes bought along the way from his arms and gave them to him, making Chu Jie smile happily, and the moistness at the corners of his mouth was faintly visible.
After the ceremony, of course, it is impossible to leave immediately, luggage and the like, their own servants pack up, Chu Zhen sat in the hall with him, Mrs. Wang asked: "Go to Hangzhou, do you feel used to it, the water and soil are different, and your body is unwell?"
Gently arching his hand, Chu Zhen said: "This is also thanks to the eldest mother, after arriving in Hangzhou, I was a little unwell at first, but after taking the medicinal soup sent by the eldest mother, it was no problem."
"Oh, but Wu didn't expect it." Mrs. Hui exclaimed and said gratefully: "It's still my sister who is meticulous and thoughtful. ”
Mrs. Wang waved her hand lightly and said, "It's all my own family, so I don't need to mention the word thanks." ”
As Chu Zhen has always expected, no matter how she feels about Mrs. Wang, she can't deny that the Chu family is up and down, inside and out, no matter how detailed and trivial things are, they are all under her control, making people have nothing to say. chatting for a while, mainly listening to Chu Zhen's account of his experience as an official in Qiantang, picking a few introductions, telling interesting cases and anecdotes, causing everyone to chuckle again and again, even Mrs. Wang, who has always been solemn, couldn't help but smile a few wisps.
Ding Dong "Ding Dong, there was a sound of bead curtain banging, but I saw a person hurrying in, his delicate face flushed with a touch of red, panting, everyone heard the voice, but it was Chu Zhuo.
