Chapter 102: Old Lady Chu's Thoughts
"She got married all the way, I naturally protect her more, I can't let her be wronged, and I feel aggrieved, that is my incompetence as a husband."
Old Lady Chu glanced at Xu Jiayi lightly, and then her eyes fell on Chu Changfeng's body again, "You can rest assured about the affairs in the house, with me, I will never make your wife wronged." There were two maids in front of me who didn't understand the rules and said the wrong thing and made her angry, so I didn't need to come forward, so I directly ordered someone to slap her mouth for dozens and sell it. Look at her temperament, where will she be wronged, you can put your heart back in your stomach. ”
"Instead of worrying about your daughter-in-law, think about your cousin."
Old Mrs. Chu took the hand of the demure and well-behaved Xu Yao on the side with a look of pity, and said with emotion, "This child is also a miserable life, and he has no father and mother at a young age, so I love it as an aunt." It just so happens that this kid is a solid-eyed person, and he has never asked for anything in the house for so many years, no matter whether it is good or bad, he endures it by himself and doesn't say anything, and he doesn't know how much he has suffered behind his back. ”
Old Mrs. Chu said that she would not let Xu Jiayi be wronged, but in fact, she was telling Chu Changfeng, your wife has a bad temper, but the maid below said the wrong thing and punished her so harshly, and she slapped her mouth and sold it, where is the slightest bit of virtuous and virtuous character.
It's also that her family Yaoyao is a pure-hearted person, even if she is wronged, she endures it by herself, and she never makes such an ugly fuss.
"Such a maid who doesn't understand the rules should have been sent out a long time ago." Chu Changfeng frowned and listened to the words and expressed his opinion, "Mother is kind and kind, and the maids below are becoming more and more unable to put themselves in the right position. Acting like this makes those maids afraid in their hearts and dare not make trouble, which is very good. ”
Old Lady Chu and Xu Jiayi were both stunned, but they didn't expect Chu Changfeng to answer like this.
Old Mrs. Chu was angry, "It's my wife who didn't restrain her subordinates and made your daughter-in-law feel wronged." ”
"Mother said this, it really made one by one frightened......" Hearing this, Xu Jiayi hurriedly got up and said.
Xu Yao was originally sitting next to Old Lady Chu, but when she heard Xu Jiayi speak, she glanced at it and planned to withdraw her gaze. Inadvertently, Xu Yao's pupils shrank when she saw the rose-purple marks on Xu Jiayi's neck, and the reluctant smile on her face could no longer be hung up, and she looked at Xu Jiayi in a daze.
What does that trace represent, although Xu Yao has not yet left the cabinet, she also knows it. Yesterday, my cousin not only slept in the maple garden, but also had a round room with Xu Jiayi.
Yes, they are a serious couple, and this kind of thing is naturally a matter of time.
Xu Jiayi only felt that there was a gaze staring at her, which made her frown slightly uncomfortably, and turned her head to meet Xu Yao's surprised and shy gaze, followed her gaze and looked down, and found the mark that was exposed, and her little face instantly turned red, and she hurriedly pulled her clothes to cover it.
Xu Yao was so confused that she didn't listen to them carefully at all. It wasn't until he heard his name that he came back to his senses, and responded a little dazedly, "Huh? ”
"What do you think, I called you several times and I didn't hear it." Old Mrs. Chu looked at Xu Yao a little strangely, and without waiting for her to answer, she repeated what she had just said, "Your sister Jiayi is bored to come alone in the yard, so you go to her yard to talk to her when you have nothing to do." I heard that your sister Jiayi is still a famous talented girl in Yanjing City, if you don't understand anything, you can also ask for more advice. ”
"Yes...... It's good that Sister Jiayi doesn't dislike it. ”
Before Xu Yao's words were finished, Chu Changfeng directly interrupted, "Mother, my cousin is not too young, you should also look for her." Ordinary girls have already said that they are married at this age, and those who know understand that you are reluctant to let your cousin stay for two more years, and those who don't know don't know how to say it. ”
Xu Jiayi can count the words she has said from the moment she entered the door to now, no matter what Mrs. Chu says, Chu Changfeng is in front of her to block it, but it makes her heart warm. It's also her blessing to marry such a husband, right?
"Your cousin's life is miserable, and I am reluctant to marry her far away. The best person to marry is right around the corner, and I can always look at her and help her. ”
If it weren't for that, how could she hit Chu Changfeng with her idea.
"The girl of my Anping Marquis family, no matter how poor she is, she will not be able to be a concubine. There are so many talented people in Changzhou, there is always a suitable one, if my mother is picky, I can help take a look. Chu Changfeng was not stupid, he naturally saw what his mother meant, and said bluntly.
"Look at what you're saying, and you don't hold back. What kind of concubine is not a concubine, your cousin is still here! Although he said so, he was suddenly awakened by Chu Changfeng's word "concubine" in his heart.
Yes, now that Chu Changfeng has married a wife, if she wants to match Yaoyao and Changfeng again, Yaoyao will only be committed to being a concubine. Unless...... Xu Jiayi is dead. Although she is a little unreasonable, she is not ruthless in taking people's lives. What's more, Xu Jiayi looks a little weaker, but she doesn't have any pain, so naturally she won't die by accident.
Thinking so in his heart, his eyes unconsciously fell to Xu Jiayi.
Mrs. Chu was unwilling to deal with her, and she didn't like her before she got married, and she had nothing to do with anything else, just blamed her for occupying Xu Yao's position.
originally thought that Chu Changfeng was also dissatisfied with this wife who was forced by the emperor, but who knew that he loved her quite a lot, and in his heart, Xu Jiayi's weight was a few points higher than that of her, who was a stepmother.
Listening to what Chu Changfeng just said, he was reluctant to let Xu Yao be a concubine, and he was a head short of Xu Jiayi all his life. Thinking about it here, his eyes involuntarily looked at Xu Jiayi.
Xu Jiayi sat quietly and did not interject.
After getting rid of these distracting thoughts, Mrs. Chu looked at Xu Jiayi again, and her perception was different. swept away, but saw that her whole body exuded a natural luxury. The upper body is wearing a lotus silk pipa top, the lower body is a colorful thousand-colored plum blossom gauze skirt, and an ordinary woman's hair bun is combed.
This son is quietly sipping tea with his eyes down, although he has a low eyebrow and pleasing appearance, he can also see a bit of arrogance in her bones. Old Lady Chu looked at it and felt that it was a little similar to the plum blossoms that Ling Han bloomed alone in that winter.
Even the old lady Chu has to say that in terms of her bearing and demeanor, Xu Yao is really incomparable. Although she is not the in-law girl of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Households, she is also the granddaughter of her own child, and I heard that she has been raised in the Shangshu Mansion since she was a child, and she is quite loved. This identity is enough for Changfeng.
Xu Yao also saw the change in Mrs. Chu's attitude towards Xu Jiayi, but she was just a cousin girl who was fostered in the Anping Hou Mansion, and it was already a blessing to be able to get the old lady's attention and love, where would she dare to throw her face. So even though the pain in his heart was terrible, his face was silent, but the smile on the corner of his mouth added a little bitterness.
After a few people finished speaking, Chu Changfeng originally planned to take Xu Jiayi back to Fengyuan for breakfast first, and then go to his father to talk about the things in the barracks. After hearing this, Mrs. Chu waved her hand directly and said, "You go to see your father, your daughter-in-law will stay here and accompany me to breakfast." ”
"This ......" Chu Changfeng glanced at Xu Jiayi, wanting to ask her opinion.
He only returned home yesterday, and he didn't know much about the things in the house, so he only listened to what Mama Hua said briefly. That's why I deliberately said those things when I was talking to Old Lady Chu just now. At this time, seeing that Mrs. Chu wanted to ease the relationship, it was naturally the best, but in the end, she also had to worry about Xu Jiayi's meaning.
Xu Jiayi met Chu Changfeng's gaze and nodded invisibly.
"That's fine." Chu Changfeng nodded in response, saluted the old lady Chu again, and then retired and left.
The maids had already set up breakfast, and Old Lady Chu had already pulled Xu Yao to sit down. Xu Jiayi thought about it and didn't sit down, but stood aside to cook vegetables for Old Lady Chu.
Old Lady Chu was a little happier in her heart, glanced at Xu Jiayi, and said out loud while having breakfast with Xu Yao slowly, "Since you have married into our house, you must follow the rules of our house, be filial to your in-laws, and treat Yaoyao as a friend." Of course, the most important thing is to serve the long wind and open the branches and leaves for our Anping Hou Mansion as soon as possible. I won't say much else, Mama Yao, you can tell her about the rules of our Anping Marquis Mansion. ”
Mama Yao responded in a low voice, and said everything carefully about food, clothing, housing and transportation. There are countless small items under each item, and Mama Yao is talking endlessly, although Xu Jiayi is pretending to listen carefully, but in fact, she has already lost her mind.
It's not that she doesn't want to listen carefully, it's just that these words make people dizzy, and she can't remember them even if she wants to remember them for a while, at most her left ear goes in, and her right ear comes out.
As soon as Mrs. Chu raised her eyes slightly, she could see that Xu Jiayi didn't listen carefully at all, and a touch of annoyance flashed on her face, but thinking about Chu Changfeng's attitude just now, she finally endured it again, "Okay, don't be busy, sit down and eat first." ”
"Thank you, Mother." Xu Jiayi blessed her body, so she sat down and used it simply.
Chu Changfeng said that he would rush back to the barracks tonight, and there were less than five hours left after the full battle. After Xu Jiayi came back from Rongyang Hall, she found that Chu Changfeng was no longer in Fengyuan, and after asking the maid, she found out that he went to the front yard to find the old lady Chu Minglei.
Xu Jiayi nodded and said that she already knew, and seeing that the weather was good at this time, she asked Cuiyun and the others to move to the yard, took the book and sat in the yard to read. At first, Xu Jiayi could still read the book seriously, but after reading it for a while, she began to wander, counted the time with her fingers, and asked in a loud voice, "Xiangqiao, this son's letter should be sent to his grandmother, right?" ”
"Not so fast," Xiangqiao answered, "Madam, you forgot, it takes more than a month to travel from Changzhou to Yanjing City." ”
