Chapter 15: Mid-Autumn Family Feast
Chu Wushuang's mother and son talked in the room for a long time, and the stone that pressed on Chu Wushuang's heart was slightly lowered.
Over the years, I have pretended not to care about anything, and I don't ask anything about money, status, rights and other topics, in order to make the people of Chu Mansion relax their vigilance against themselves, and it seems that it is not without effect.
I thought that my mother Zheng just wanted to be in a safe corner, and she never mentioned anything in front of her, lest she be frightened.
"Auntie, second young master, the Mid-Autumn Festival master is back today, and the old lady asked the two of you to go to the front hall for dinner."
Chu Wushuang's mother and son are very strange, they have never called our mother and son to eat during the Chinese New Year, why do they still call us today in the Mid-Autumn Festival?
Suppressing the doubts in their hearts, the two of them tidied up their clothes and walked to the front hall.
When she arrived in the front hall, Mrs. Chu was already in the main position, seeing the arrival of Chu Wushuang's mother and son, after glancing at Zhou Jingya, she said: "Zheng's, Wushuang, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, family reunion, let's have a meal together." "Calling Zheng's mother and son is naturally to block Zhou Jingya and make her upset.
Chu Wushuang looked at the table of people in front of him, because the two and three rooms of the Chu family had been separated from the mansion, and the big Chu Mansion also seemed a little deserted.
The ancestor of the Chu family once fought the world with Emperor Shengzu, and after the founding of the country, he received the military power and got the title of Huai'en Hou, which has been passed down for several generations, and there is an empty title of Huai'en Hou, and there is nothing else.
In the generation of Chu Wushuang's father Chu Changjian, the imperial court did not promulgate the holy decree of attacking the lord, and the old lady of Chu knew that the title of the Chu family was broken, so she asked Chu Changjian to marry Zhou Jingya, who was old and Yunying was not married, hoping to use Zhou Jingya's identity as the county lord to continue the glory of the Chu family.
Hearing Old Madam Chu's words, the Zheng family sat down next to Chu Changjian's other aunts, and Chu Wushuang sat down at the head of Chu Changjian's eldest son, Chu Wentao.
Because Mrs. Chu sat in the main seat, Chu Changjian and Zhou Jingya sat with each other, and Zhou Jingya's only baby son Chu Wenyu was next to her, naturally those aunts couldn't be next to Chu Wenyu, so it was Chu Wentao and Chu Wushuang.
On the other side, Chu Changjian's three aunts and the four Zheng family members sat together, so that the Zheng family and Chu Wushuang sat together.
The Chu family has a common problem of this era, preferring sons over daughters. In the Chu family, there is an unwritten rule that unmarried daughters are not allowed to eat at the table, not that they are not allowed to eat at the table, but they are only allowed to eat in their own house.
This point is different from the Zhao family.
As the old lady said, "Rice." ”
Everyone picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat. Several grandchildren took turns to toast the old lady, so that the old lady was happy.
The old lady was happy, but Zhou Jingya felt that this meal was tasteless, Chu Changjian's other aunts all entered the house before him and gave birth to children, and he couldn't control it, but the Zheng family actually gave birth to a son under his nose, which made him swallow this breath, and raised his eyes to look at Zheng and Chu Wushuang like knives.
This little action did not escape the eyes of the old lady Chu, the old lady has been in the back house all her life, and she is not unclear about Zhou Jingya's actions, in the end, she is a county lord, and she also gives a little face.
For Zhou Jingya's eyes, Chu Wushuang and Zheng saw it. After the two said what they thought from the bottom of their hearts, they agreed not to endure Zhou Jingya's harsh treatment.
Chu Wushuang put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you, the eye teacher looked at his son, but he wanted to use this chicken juice cabbage in front of his son?" If you want to use it, the son will give the mother a dish. ”
Regarding Chu Wushuang's words, Zhou Jingya didn't react for a while after hearing them.
Everyone at the table understood, and several aunts covered their mouths and snickered. But Chu Wenyu opened his mouth: "What are you, dare to give me my mother's cloth?" ”
The old lady was surprised by Chu Wushuang's words, and then she was completely shocked by Chu Wenyu's words, not so much surprised, but angry.
Even if this Chu Wushuang was born to Aunt Zheng, who was born from a descendant, what is the seed of the Chu family, his grandson, and what is this old woman?
Old Lady Chu put down the dishes and chopsticks with a snap and snorted coldly.
As for Mrs. Chu's thoughts, whether it is a mother-son connection, Chu Changjian is very clear. Because of Zhou Jingya's status as the county lord over the years, she has been more tolerant, but she didn't expect her to educate such a son.
"Wushuang is your brother, do you talk to your brother like this?"
"He's not my brother, he's just a bastard born of a slut."
When Chu Changjian heard this mongrel, he almost didn't lose his breath. Zhou Jingya saw her son say such things, and she was also anxious, this back house was like a harem, and she still pointed at Chu Changjian, but when she thought that she was a county lord, and the Chu family was nothing now, just some money, she couldn't help but take Qiao a little.
"Master, Wenyu is still young, and he doesn't know how to speak, for my sake, forget it."
"Forget it in your face?"
"yes, forget it, don't take it as an example."
When Mrs. Chu heard this, she didn't say anything, and with the support of the maid, she got up and left.
Chu Changjian is an out-and-out filial son, and when he saw this, he immediately became angry: "Zhou Jingya, how much face do you have?" ”
"Presumptuous, I am the county lord, you dare to call me by my name."
"What about the county lord, married into my Chu family, that is, a member of my Chu family, abide by the rules of my Chu family, don't show your identity as a county lord, I can't see it."
Hearing this, Zhou Jingya stood up and pointed at Chu Changjian's nose: "Bold, how dare you treat me like this?" ”
Chu Changjian looked at Zhou Jingya and sneered: "Are you still the invincible county lord?" I really thought I was amazing, I married you back then just because of your status as the leader of the group, otherwise with your temper, it's no wonder that you haven't married at such an old age. ”
"Poof, hahaha."
It is no secret that Zhou Jingya married into the Chu family at an older age, but when it comes out of Chu Changjian's mouth today, the taste is different.
Seeing this, Chu Wenyu spoke: "Dad, my mother is the county lord, how can you talk to my mother like this?" ”
Chu Changjian was eager to slap Chu Wenyu now, but he couldn't help it.
At this time, Zheng's drama had seen enough, and gave Chu Wushuang a look, and Chu Wushuang understood. walked to Chu Changjian's side, gave him a smooth breath, and said softly: "Dad, don't be angry, it's all because the son is not good, it makes his mother angry, and his younger brother loses his words." ”
Chu Changjian looked at this son, who had always had a very low sense of existence, and after listening to his words, he felt a little sorry for the Zheng family's mother and son.
A good meal, just like that, the aunts had seen enough of the excitement, and after comforting Chu Changjian, they all went back to their yard to talk to their children, and the people also talked about it, along with Chu Chengda's matter. Zhou Jingya became the talk of Chu Mansion before and after tea for a while.
