Chapter 449: Whispering from the Visit
Ertang Chengping invited, Xu Hanqing naturally came to the appointment, came to the compartment, and sat down. \。 ǒМ\\But unexpectedly, I saw more people next to me. And it's not a stranger, but in addition to being stunned, it's a little bad feeling.
"Brother Han Qing, it's been good lately." Chu Zhen smiled enthusiastically.
"It turned out to be Chu Xiaoli. It's been a long time. Xu Hanqing smiled with a smile, but muttered in his heart. It would have been good, but it was not good to see you. glared at Yang Chengping, blaming him for not explaining it in advance and inviting Chu Zhen to come.
Shrug your shoulders and spread your hands. Very helpless, Yang Chengping hurriedly got up and beckoned the two to sit down, instructed the guys to serve wine and food, and staggered for a while, and began to talk about interesting things in Hangzhou.
Yang Chengping smiled and said: "Speaking of which, Xiao Hanqing is also a moistening asset for Lord Chu." On the same day, he went to a banquet at Shen's house, and Han Qing sought Mobao. But if you want to exchange it for the pearl of the Xu family, the hand of the glass trembled slightly, and the orchid wine almost didn't leak out. Xu Hanqing smiled slightly bitterly, sighed in his heart, and after understanding the situation between Chu Zhen and Bai Jinyu, he vaguely understood what Chu Zhen was thinking. Knowing that this pearl is not the pearl of the other, I was still lucky, but now when I see Chu Qian, I know that I can't hide it.
The news is closed, it is really easy to be fooled, Xu Hanqing sighed, groaned, Bai Jinyu's sad and sad appearance appeared in his mind, his heart moved secretly, and he said with a smile: "Mingzhu is there, I don't know if Chu Xiaoli has the courage to come to the door to pick it up." ”
"As long as Brother Han Qing agrees, how can he not dare." Waiting for this sentence, Chu Zhen immediately replied. With a bright smile, he said: "If Brother Han Qing doesn't have any trivial matters now, it's better to go with him now." ”
You're welcome. Muttering that the banquet is, the cup goes down. hesitated. Xu Hanqing nodded in agreement. Yang Chengping on the side was very interested, and he didn't ask what the two were playing, and kindly beckoned the carriage to come, but he excused himself and left.
The exterior was ordinary, but the carriage of Hualian on the inside drove smoothly along the street, and the two sat opposite each other, silent, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.
After a long time, Xu Hanqing whispered, "What do you want?" ”
I want to see Chu Zhen and whispered.
Xu Hanqing hurriedly interrupted and said first: "Yu'er is indeed in the Xu family, but her father has already gone out." But I can't be the Lord to introduce you. ”
I can't dare to. Where can this kind of thing be hidden? If only I knew that the meeting between the two was arranged by myself. The consequences were unimaginable, and Xu Hanqing was unwilling to directly face his father Xu Xuan's thunderous anger.
"I don't dare to look forward to it, I just want to see Lord Mingrou." Chu Zhen said: "This is always okay." ”
"There's no problem with that, it's just that "the eyes are like torches, and the quality is measured." Xu Hanqing shook his head and said, "Remind you, my mother is not so easy to talk to, and I want to see Yu'er through her." Perhaps it is extremely difficult to change my father's mind. ”
"Thank you, Brother Han Qing, for reminding me, it's just that I'm not here for this." Chu Zhen said with a smile.
Looking at Chu Zhen with a strange gaze, Xu Hanqing did not hide his suspicious expression. Half a ring, seeing Chu Zhen smile calmly, he still didn't believe it in his heart, and pouted and said, "No matter why you came." I declare in advance that it is just for Yu'er's sake. I'm just going to help you this time, and as for whether it can be done, it's up to you. ”
Chu Zhen smiled and nodded, with a confident look on his face.
The carriage was moving at a high speed. Turning an alley, the carriage stopped at an elegant house, in front of which stood a few tall trees, lush and quiet.
The car curtain was hung, the two got out of the car, only to see a plaque above the courtyard gate, the plaque is written with Xu Fu Liangjie, the word, adhering to the usual low-key style, the plaque is not gilded with lacquer silver, just a simple brush and ink words, but as long as there is a little eyesight, it can be seen that these two words are from the hands of Cai Xiang, the first calligraphy master of this dynasty, the font is charming and elegant, into the wood three points, as if to jump out of the signs, showing the style of the famous artist. It can be described as a thousand words.
The coachman stepped forward to knock on the door and called, and when he heard that it was his son-in-law who had returned, the servants in the courtyard hurriedly pushed the door to greet him.
"Captain Chu, please come in." Xu Hanqing said, and invited him, but Chu Zhi gave in. Entering side by side with him, as soon as I entered the outer courtyard, I saw that the grass and trees on both sides of the courtyard were flourishing, and the strange stones were in the house, and the environment was very beautiful and quiet.
walked straight into the hall and ordered the servants to serve tea, Xu Hanqing said: "Wait a minute, I'll report it, if she refuses to see it, she has no choice but to be rude." Chu Xiaoli is not strange. ”
"Don't dare." Chu Zhen politely bowed his hand, watched Xu Hanqing leave, and saw that there was no one in the hall. His face changed suddenly. The confident and calm expression immediately dissipated, revealing a little nervousness and anxiety, and the heart was beating like a drum like thunder, and the half-ring did not subside.
Calm, be calm, don't fail. After a few long breaths, Chu Zhen calmed down. He sat down with a nonchalant expression. Even if it was cold for half an hour, there was no impatience, and there was no impetuousness, comforting himself, it would be good to be able to come in, or to entrust Hanqing's blessing. In other words, if you come to post and ask to see you alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even step into the door of the Xu family.
The tea was on the table, it was already cold, but no one came in to add water and replace it, apparently under orders. Such hospitality. The arrogant temperament couldn't bear it for a long time, and walked away, however, Chu Zhen was prepared in his heart. Instead, he calmly saw everything as a floating cloud, and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the hall with interest.
The kid can bear it, so it can be seen that there is still a bit of sincerity. I don't know how long it took. Xu Hanqing, who hadn't shown up for a long time, walked in leisurely, looked at Chu Zhen with more appreciation, and said with an apologetic smile: "I'm really ashamed, I just went out of the hall, and I got entangled in some trivial things, and I didn't have time to report to my mother." When the matter was properly handled, my mother learned about it and scolded me for not prioritizing it, so that Chu Xiaoli waited for a long time. ”
"I didn't have to wait long, but Brother Han Qing is really hard." His eyes were full of sympathy, Chu Zhen nodded in understanding, he understood Xu Hanqing's mood very well, there was no way, being a son, it was a matter of course to carry the black pot for his parents, and he had to admit his grievances and tears.
Confidant, Xu Hanqing burst into tears. I really wanted to bring the wine up and drink a few glasses with him, but fortunately he was still a little sensible, and said with a smile: "Chu Xiaoli will sit down for a while, and my mother will come immediately." ”
Two quarters of an hour passed, but the figure of the county lord of Mingrou was nowhere to be seen, which made Xu Hanqing, who was sitting with him, a little embarrassed, but Chu Zhen didn't mind. talked and laughed with him with undiminished interest, and didn't feel that he was being ignored.
However, Xu Hanqing could not ignore it. Self-deprecating explained: "Chu Xiaoli also knows. Women love beauty. Regardless of age, he is keen to dress up. So,"
Ding Ding Dong. There was a sound of the impact of beads and jade. The bead curtain of the side door in the hall was raised. With the support of the two maidservants, Yingying, the lord of Mingrou County, came over, with a graceful and luxurious temperament, and the beautiful eye pole was cooked with thousands of products, but it was Xu Hanqing, full of coercion! Cook a small Zhan Zhao and dare to slander his mother behind his back, and turn around to make you look good.
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Xu Hanqing sighed in his heart. A flattering smile flashed across the corners of his mouth, and he hurriedly greeted him, and the person who took over the servant girl carefully helped the county lord Mingrou to sit down, his lips moving slightly. It seems to be quietly begging for mercy.
is about to be forty years old, just like a beautiful face in about twenty or thirty, the county lord of Mingrou obviously pays great attention to maintenance, and naturally taboos others to mention words such as seniority. Biological sons are no exception. The sleeves are slightly flicked. The board face said: "Qing'er, your guest welcomes you, did you inform your father?" ”
"No, the child will go immediately." Xu Hanqing was very interested, and immediately retreated, and when he left, he did not forget to frighten Chu Qian, his eyes were shining, and he prayed in his heart, hoping that he would speak well and not provoke his mother to be angry. Otherwise, I'll be doomed later.
"Lord Mingrou is fine." Chu Qianxin comprehended the response, and at the same time saluted and said: "I took the liberty to visit, but it was rude." ”
"It's okay, the Xu family and Cao Zong have always been good friends, you are the son-in-law of the Cao family, and you are not an outsider, so you have to go to the door often in the future." The lord of Mingrou County smiled, but there was a needle hidden in his words, suggesting that Chu Zhen should be clear about his current identity, not to mention something that embarrassed the two families.
Chu Zhen didn't seem to understand. He smiled and said, "Definitely." Certain. ”
It's useless to be stupid. I've seen a lot of difficult people, do you still care about you, since you're so uninteresting. Then Hugh blamed himself for not giving face. Lord Mingrou's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and he said with a smile: "By the way, Xin'er, why haven't I seen her come with you, I haven't seen her for a while, and I miss her strangely." I heard that you met Qing'er occasionally. I decided to come over to visit temporarily, probably because I didn't have time to inform her, so I just sent someone to invite her. ”
"It's okay, then it's annoying to the county lord." Chu Zhen said with a smile. Anyway, Cao Yaxin also knew about it. Who's afraid of whom.
Hey. Lord Mingrou's eyes were filled with curiosity. The long eyelashes blinked slightly, and he quietly measured Chu quality. I wanted to find out if he was sincere or false, and I guessed that I was just talking about it. may not invite Cao Yaxin over.
Thinking about whether to do things more thoroughly, I really invited people to forget it, but I heard Chu Zhen continue: "Before that, the kid had a few words and wanted to speak directly to the county lord in private. ”
I almost fooled you, but the county lord of Mingrou showed such an expression and groaned. I think it's also boring, so I'll be with it for the time being. When the husband comes back, let him clean you up.
Seeing that the county lord of Mingrou waved away the maidservant, Chu Zhi took a breath quietly, a warm smile appeared on his face, and said softly: "Before I said it, the kid had something to ask. In your mind, what do you want others to call you, County Lord, or", Mrs. Xu. ”
Ben was still a little impatient, but when he heard this, Lord Mingrou's face immediately changed slightly."
Half an hour later, the maid heard the summons and hurried forward, but saw the county lord Mingrou with a strange expression, sitting deep in thought, but Chu Zhen was relieved and said goodbye. There was no response from the county lord of Mingrou for half a sound. Chu Zhen didn't wait long, and left directly. I don't want to be rude, but if I stay for a while, maybe Xu Xuan will come back, and the matter will be revealed and fall short, which will be even more tragic. Out of the hall door. His heart moved slightly, he turned his head to look at it, a beautiful and graceful figure loomed, Chu Zhen stopped and smiled, and then slowly left.
The beautiful eyes were as quiet as water, staring at the direction where Chu Zhi disappeared, obsessed for a moment, Bai Qiangyu cleaned up his mood, bowed softly, and said in a low voice: "Brother, what is he doing here?" ”
"I don't know." The eyes were a little complicated, Xu Hanqing shook his head lightly, and when he saw her passing the look of disappointment, he hurriedly comforted: "However, I think it's also for your business, so let my mother intercede." ”
"Really?" Bai Jinyu's pretty face drooped slightly, as if she was ashamed. But I couldn't believe it, and I was afraid of being disappointed again.
Xu Hanqing was also like this, thinking, hesitated, and said softly: "I'll ask my mother."
I walked to the hall door, but found that my father Xu Xuan came back, Xu Hanqing didn't say a word, didn't dare to stay, and walked away directly, thinking that it would not be too late to ask later.
"Didn't you say that kid was here?" Look at it slightly. Xu Xuan sat down. Smiled and asked, "What about people?" Why is it missing? ”
"I didn't say a word, I heard you come back. Scared and ran away. Lord Mingrou said with a smile.
"How can you be so cowardly," Xu Xuan shook his head. He didn't say any more, and asked, "What did he say?" ”
"It's not some wishful thinking or other nonsense, there's nothing to mention." Lord Mingrou smiled: "I reprimanded the concubine twice." I felt shameless and left, and I slipped away. ”
"Good. That's how it should be. Let him die. Xu Xuan smiled: "Some words." Because of the Cao family's affection. I can't say it bluntly, I want my wife to take care of me more. ”
Full of love. All pinned on Bai Jinyu, of course Xu Xuan hopes that she will be happy, but no matter what the considerations, he wants his daughter to marry someone else, and it is a formal status. Although the conditions of Chu quality are good. It's a pity that he married the daughter of the Cao family first, so he was naturally excluded.
As for Bai Hengyu's sad mood, Xu Xuan saw it in his eyes. But I had other thoughts in my heart, thinking that it was just my daughter's admiration for Chu Zhen's talent, and it might not be that she was really happy, so she put it on hold for two years. The lovesickness will naturally fade, and then from the imperial examination jinshi, select an outstanding talent, and the spouse will be successful. It can be regarded as satisfying Su Qing's wish. There is also a little comfort in my heart.
Xu Xuan's thoughts were flying, and the county lord of Mingrou saw it in his eyes, and his heart was full of gloom, and he suddenly asked: "Husband, in a few days, it will be the birth of the concubine." But I don't know that my husband may come back to celebrate together? ”
The birthday of the county lord of Mingrou is Bai Suqing's sacrifice day. Since that day, for many years. At this time, Xu Xuan always went to give Bai Suqing incense to remember. And the county lord of Mingrou didn't seem to be in the mood to hold a birthday banquet, but now he suddenly proposed, which made Xu Xuan feel very hesitant.
Looking at the gloomy anticipation in her eyes. Xu Xuan's heart softened. He didn't know in his heart that after so many years, the county lord of Mingrou never mentioned the birthday. It's nothing more than understanding his mood and not wanting to embarrass him, for which Xu Xuan is grateful and guilty.
Especially a few. A month ago, I didn't even say hello. So he took his daughter home. It simply destroyed the tacit understanding between the husband and wife for many years, but the county lord of Mingrou did not turn his face, and accepted this matter very happily. Bai Jinyu is like her own daughter, caring and considerate.
How could Xu Xuan not feel ashamed. Thinking about the waste, he nodded slightly in agreement, looking at the happy appearance of the county lord of Mingrou, but there was a little less guilt for Bai Suqing in his heart.
