Chu Changjian didn't know the reason for the old lady's anger, and when he heard the old lady talking like this at this time, he also had some complaints about Zhou Jingya.

"Mother, you talk like this, but where did Zhou Jingya offend you and make you so angry?"

The maid who was waiting beside her handed Mrs. Chu a cup of tea, and the old lady lowered her head and took a sip and paused for a moment.

Chu Changjian is the biological son of Mrs. Chu, so he naturally knows the old lady's temperament, although the old lady is thoughtful, she has always been outspoken in front of herself, and today's actions made Chu Changjian feel confused.

"Mother, what's going on today, you're talking, how is this good for my son."

Mrs. Chu picked up the pear blossom cane on the side and walked off the Luohan bed under the service of the maid.

Chu Changjian saw the old lady move, so he stepped forward to help her.

When Mrs. Chu saw Chu Changjian being so filial, she was in tears for a while. Holding Chu Changjian's hand, he said.

"Jian'er, my mother is really wrong, I let you marry Zhou Jingya back then, I'm really sorry for you!"

When Chu Changjian heard this, he was even more confused.

"Mother, how many years have passed, why did you say this again today."

Looking at Chu Changjian, the old lady was even more aggrieved in her heart, and with the support of the maid and Chu Changjian, she slowly walked to the side of the soft collapse, and pulled Chu Changjian to sit down.

"Jian'er, do you know why your mother is so angry today, if you know the reason, you will understand the meaning of what your mother just said."

Chu Changjian looked at Old Lady Chu puzzled.

"Mother, if you have any grievances and dissatisfaction, you just say, your son will be angry for you."

"Today is the first day of the new year, and this is the day when the concubines and aunts in this backyard come to see me, an old woman, in my courtyard and say hello to me. The concubines and aunts of this courtyard came over early, and the Zheng family of this Yushi courtyard was still bright, so they came to serve me to freshen up.

This week, Jingya doesn't know why, the sun is three poles, but she hasn't come yet. Those concubines and aunts of yours, a few of them have seen that the hour has passed, and they haven't seen Zhou Jingya coming, and they are discussing. Zheng was kind-hearted, and he was worried about whether Zhou Jingya was ill, so he didn't come to my courtyard to ask for peace. I beg me to send a maid to see it. ”

"Mother, what's wrong with Zhou Jingya, she is sick?"

"Son, you don't know, I sent a maid to see what happened to Zhou Jingya, I didn't expect it, but it surprised me."

"What's the matter, what did that maid see that made my mother so angry."

"I don't want to say, let the maid who just went talk to you."

The little maid on the side heard the old lady's words, walked to the middle of the room, and bowed.

"Uncle, old lady, this morning, all the concubines and aunts in the house are waiting for the eldest lady, the eldest lady has not seen her for a long time, Aunt Zheng is worried, so she said to the old lady that she wants to send a maid to see the eldest lady.

The old lady pointed to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid went to the yard of the eldest lady, and she was afraid that the eldest lady was ill, and she did not dare to disturb loudly, so she secretly took a look, but she did not expect that outside the house, she heard the eldest lady complaining about the uncle, the eldest lady was not unwell, and when the slave and maid went, the eldest lady was dressing up in the house. ”

After the little maid finished speaking, Chu Changjian was also a little angry. "Jingya is so presumptuous this week, how can she not come to say hello to her mother-in-law on this big day of the first day of the new year."

Seeing that Chu Changjian valued Zhou Jingya so much and didn't come to say hello to her mother-in-law, instead of how Zhou Jingya complained, her heart was suddenly very comfortable.

"Son, my mother has given birth to three children in her life, two sons and a daughter, this youngest daughter Your sister Changmei married in Jinzhou, and she can't see each other for a year, your younger brother Changfeng is that kind of person, there is nothing to achieve, and the only thing my mother can count on is you."

Chu Changjian has known since he was a child that his mother is more biased towards him, and he is more favored than his younger brothers and sisters.

"Mother, I know, it's just that the son still hasn't let his mother live a good life, and he doesn't have an official position, and the title has not been hereditary."

"Son, it's my mother who can't stand you, I just let the little maid go to Zhou Jingya's yard, but I heard Zhou Jingya complaining about you, the wife in this deep courtyard complains about the master, what kind of reason is this, saying that my son has no vision, I am really uncomfortable!"

"Mother, did Zhou Jingya really complain like this?"

The little maid who went to listen to Zhou Jingya's body was unwell, knelt down with a puff, and said: "Uncle, it was the slave who heard it with her own ears, and the slave and maid didn't dare to lie, arrange the eldest lady, and ask the uncle and the old lady to find out." ”

Old Lady Chu and Chu Changjian naturally knew that the little maid would not lie.

Chu Changjian was also angry now.

In this world, which woman is not marrying a chicken and a dog, even if she Zhou Jingya is the identity of the county lord, so what, if she marries herself, she should take herself as the sky, how can there be a wife complaining about her husband behind her back.

"Mother, Zhou Jingya was really presumptuous, over the years, we have treated her again and again, it seems that it is really wrong, some people, they just can't get used to it."

Seeing that her son was as angry as herself, Old Lady Chu felt even more guilty about Chu Changjian in her heart.

"Jian'er, if it weren't for the fact that my mother wanted you to marry her back then, and the court decreed that you would inherit the title, I didn't expect that after marrying Zhou Jingya, she still didn't attack the lord, and she married such a pampered and arrogant woman and entered the family."

"Mother, my son didn't blame you, only blamed my son for not being angry, over the years, my mother has suffered so many grievances."

"Mother doesn't matter, since Zhou Jingya entered the gate of my Chu family, the concubine and aunt in this backyard have nothing to do, except for that Aunt Zheng gave birth to a son, there is only the Wenyu from Zhou Jingya. This backyard is like a fictitious one, you see which deep gate courtyard, the heirs are so scarce. Your sons and daughters are still her concubines before Zhou Jingya entered the door. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Changjian was also very angry, his own heirs were scarce, only three sons and two daughters, and there was only one son-in-law.

Zhou Jingya has taken her only sister-in-law, Chu Wenyu, with her all these years, and she is really spoiled, and she is more and more out of proportion.

This sister-in-law was originally going to inherit his own business in the future, so how could he rest assured that he would hand over this Chu family to him.

"Jian'er, this Wenyu has not been brilliant for many years, but he has learned his mother's domineering personality at home, and the future of my Chu family is worrying!"

Regarding Old Lady Chu's worries, Chu Changjian also felt this way in his heart, but this Wenyu's character had already been set.

"Mother, this Wenyu is now close to the age of the weak crown, I don't know if this character can be changed, if it can't be changed, the future successor of my Chu family..."

After these unfinished words, the Chu family mother and son both knew in their hearts that the Chu family's century-old family, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and it would definitely not be handed over to such a descendant.

In the past, the mother and son were in awe of Zhou Jingya's identity as the county lord, but now that they think about it carefully, they don't have anything to worry about, but they are just a county lord who married into the Chu family, and they can still turn against the sky.

Regarding the long-term secret conversation between the Chu family and the son, the Zheng family on the other side was not idle, in the pavilion in the garden, and Aunt Hu and Aunt Zhang were talking about this.

"Sister Zheng, you can be regarded as having endured a hard life, and you have reached the age of happiness."

"What Sister Zhang said is yes, Sister Zheng has worked hard for many years, and finally got through these hard days."

For the words of the two aunts, Zheng laughed and said.

"Two sisters, where do you speak, the lord treats me very well, and where do I cry, it is my blessing to be able to serve the master, why do you say this."

"Also, now that the master loves you so much, and the second young master of Wushuang has been favored a lot, it can be said that the son is really precious by his mother, think about it, it won't be long before the name of the unequaled young master can also be written."

For Aunt Zhang's words, Zheng felt extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't have this smile on his face.

"This is not something we should worry about, the master will make his own decision, we just listen to the master's orders."

A few people were in the gazebo in the garden, and they didn't deliberately reduce the volume of their speech, and the maids who came and went heard it.

After a while, the conversation between the three of them reached the ears of the old lady and Chu Changjian.

After hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but rise in their favorability towards the Zheng family.

"Mother, this Zheng family is really a person who knows etiquette, in the past, the child only thought that Zheng was cowardly, but I didn't expect it to be so interesting in her heart."

For the Zheng family, the old lady is also very fond of it now, people are coming, and they hope that there are people around them who can always accompany them, although there are many concubines and aunts in this backyard, but they can really accompany themselves and let themselves enjoy the joy of their children and grandchildren In addition to the Zheng family, there is no second person.

"This Zheng family is a good one, he comes to serve me every day to freshen up, and he has never complained, not like Zhou Jingya, in the end, he is a county lord, my wife is not worthy of her to serve."

Hearing Mrs. Chu's words, Chu Changjian felt a little more disgusted with Zhou Jingya.

Zheng didn't expect that his casual words not only made the old lady accept him, but also made Chu Changjian's heart more pity for him.

Invisibly, it has added a boost to the future seizure of power.

Thinking about Zhou Jingya, she was still in front of the dresser at this time, drawing, not knowing that her unintentional words were listened to by someone with a heart.

The grandmother beside her couldn't help but speak again: "Madam, on today's big day, if you don't go to the old lady to say goodbye, and you haven't sneaked to the old lady to say goodbye, will there be anything bad if you don't go like this?" ”

Zhou Jingya only cared about playing with the gold and silver in front of the dresser, how could she care about her grandmother's words.

said casually: "Mama, I am the county lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I don't want to go, I don't want to go, what's wrong with her being an old lady, over the years, which time I asked for peace, I haven't go, but how did she treat me, if she hadn't let the lowly mother and son eat at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, I wouldn't have been estranged from the master." ”

Mama thought to herself: When did you go on time, madam?

But this can only be thought about, and it can't really be said.

Zhou Jingya didn't know at this time that it was her proud status as the county lord that made her inseparable from the arrogance in the hearts of the Chu family, and how much hidden danger her unobstructed mouth would bring to herself.

Chu Changjian sat at Mrs. Chu's place for a while, comforted the old lady Chu, walked out of the courtyard, and went to the Zheng family's Yushi Courtyard.

In the Yushi courtyard, after Zheng, Aunt Zhang, and Aunt Zhao finished speaking, they went back to the courtyard, went to the small kitchen with their own hands, and made a few seasonal snacks.

When Chu Changjian came, Zheng happened to steam the pea yellow and lotus root sugar cake in the basket.

Seeing Chu Changjian coming, he instructed his subordinates to bring two snacks to the courtyard.

The god of fortune of the Zheng family saluted Chu Changjian.

Chu Changjian personally pulled up the Zheng family and walked to the stone bench in the middle of the courtyard and sat down.

The people also brought up the dim sum made by Zheng.
