Chapter 1200: Matters of the Heart
When the old lady returned to the small courtyard with the maid, Yang Bo was the only one left in the courtyard, and when he heard the footsteps, he immediately stood up, and tears were accumulated in his cloudy eyes. The old lady coughed lightly, pretending not to know anything, and asked worriedly, "Brother Yang, what's wrong with you?" β
Back then, she and Old Man Chu were able to succeed, and they all relied on Uncle Yang to take the lead in it, so she still had a lot of respect for the people in front of her.
If it weren't for the other party's greed and lack of snake swallowing, I'm afraid that it would not be impossible for the Chu family to let Chu Mingxuan support him for the end because of these kindnesses, but his vision is too small, and he only cares about what he can touch in his hands, and he can't see the benefits in the future.
The old lady sighed silently in her heart, but she didn't express anything on her face, still smiling: "What kind of wind is blowing you here?" β
"Brother and sister."
Yang Bo looked disappointed, and said with a moving expression: "Do you know what Xuan'er wants to do?" β
"Xuan'er? What is Xuan'er going to do? The old lady deliberately pretended to be stupid and waved her hand according to the corner of her forehead, "I have long been old, and when I was young, I didn't care about the outside world, and it was impossible to care about it when I was old." In the past, when the master was still alive, he was in charge of the affairs outside, but now that he is gone, it is naturally Xuan'er who is in charge, I can't intervene, and I don't understand. Brother Yang came this time, isn't it because of Xuan'er? β
"Exactly!" Yang Bo patted his chest and said bitterly, "Xuan'er is good at everything, but she can't figure it out in some aspects!" Brother and sister, you also know the origin of Lao Chu, his ancestor was an official in the court, and he came to Jiangcheng because he was implicated in some things. When he was alive, he often told me about it, and said that the court was like a cemetery, and if he didn't have the belief that he would die, it was best not to interfere. I still remember all the words he said at the beginning, and he also said that in this life and this life, I just want Xuan'er to pass this life safely, and I don't want him to have too much to do with the court, but now ......."
The old lady's heart was immediately lifted: "What's the matter? Is it difficult for Xuan'er to enter the court as an official? β
"Not counting, but it's coming soon! In order to get His Royal Highness the Emperor and the National Teacher, he even asked his subordinates to send all the inventory in the shop to the barracks for free! I'm so ....... to do this for the sake of stammering people."
Yang Bo hated that iron could not be made of steel, and knocked on the ground.
This knock was like knocking on the old lady's heart.
She really didn't know these things, she went to the hall today purely because the people saw those people menacing, and they were afraid that Chu Mingxuan would be embarrassed by them, so they invited her over, but the key was not very clear.
She also thought that those people came today to ask for some benefits from the Chu family, after all, they had done similar things more than once.
"How could Xuan'er be involved with the people of the imperial court? What if my identity is revealed? β
"I was worried about this, so I hurriedly came to persuade me, but not only did he refuse to listen to me, but even said that I was an outsider who was not related by blood! This kid is really getting more and more disobedient as he grows up. β
As he spoke, he often sighed, a little hated that iron could not become steel.
The old lady's heart moved slightly, and she was about to open her mouth to say something, but the maid beside her pulled her sleeve excitedly, and between the two of them, she suddenly understood that this Uncle Yang had taken advantage of the love of the year and the softness of her ears, and set her up!
The old lady's brows furrowed slightly, and she said with an unnatural expression: "Xuan'er has never told me about this, could it be that Brother Yang heard it wrong?" β
"It's true, the people at the grain store have already started to prepare, saying that they will be sent to the barracks in a few hours, and if they don't stop it, it will really be too late! Brother and sister, you are the only one who can talk about him now! β
The old lady looked at him in a daze, and didn't speak, no one knew what she was thinking, but the maid who had been waiting by her side could see that Madame must have relented again!
In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and raised her voice: "Master Yang, you are really worried, our son-in-law has always acted steadily and properly, after so many years, when did you go abroad and make a mistake?" Even if you really want to send food to the barracks, you must have thought it through, and you will never act rashly! If you are old, you can put a hundred hearts, you are a lot old, and you don't care at home for a long time, walking back and forth, I'm afraid that your body will not be able to bear it! β
Yang Bo was stunned for a moment, his wrinkled face accumulating anger.
What the hell is going on with this Chu family, one or two, they all dare to come with him? It's just that Chu Mingxuan's little brute who doesn't know how to lift makes him ugly in front of him, and now even a little maid beside the old lady dares to speak out, really think he is a papier-mΓ’chΓ© tiger?
Uncle Yang glared at the maid, and said coldly: "Brother and sister, your maid really has no rules, and the master can allow her to interject when she speaks?" In my opinion, punishment is useless, it is better to directly drag it out and beat it to death, saving a lot of trouble, so that the people in the house can see what the fate of words and deeds is. β
The maid's back was cold, and she fell to her knees with a thud, and her heart thumped like a drum in her chest. I love
She is loyal to Madame, Madame will not really listen to this man's mercy, right?
The old lady raised her eyelids, and the stunned expression had disappeared on her well-maintained face, leaving only indifferent and detached eyes that fell on the old acquaintance: "Brother Yang is really joking, we are all old, what are you talking about?" It's unlucky, let's leave her alive and get a good luck. Young people are always over-blooded and rude, and if they want to come to Brother Yang's magnanimity, they will not blame her. Rainbow Ring, get up.
The maid suddenly got up.
Although her mood has not calmed down, she does not regret it at all, if she hadn't spoken, I am afraid that the old lady would have fallen into the way of this eloquent old slippery head!
At this moment, the old lady had already sobered up, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, although the words Caihuan just said were a little rushed, but on the whole, there was nothing wrong. We are all a lot of old people, and our bodies are like the end of a strong crossbow, how many years can we last? It's better for young people to solve the affairs of young people by themselves, let's not interfere, lest we work hard and affect our bodies, which is really worth the loss. β
Uncle Yang's face turned pale: "I'm also for the good of the Chu family?" β
"I know that you are for the Chu family, but this Chu family is not something we can plan for a lifetime after all, and one day he will be handed over to Xuan'er. You watched Xuan'er grow up, what is his temperament, no one knows better than you, do you want to suspect that Xuan'er does not have the ability to bear the wind and rain? β
"I-" Uncle Yang still wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he was softly pushed back by the old lady.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about these things, let the young people's troubles deal with themselves, let's just drink tea and plant flowers, let's take care of the old age, let's talk about it, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I have a new box of good tea here, do you want to try it?"
Yang Bo looked at the expression on her face, and his heart completely cooled.
At this time, he completely understood the reason why Chu Mingxuan put him in the backyard without dissuasion, it turned out that this little beast had already been angry with his mother!
really responded to Chu Mingxuan's words just now, no matter how great the kindness is, it can't compare to the blood relationship, he is an outsider after all!
The crutches struck the ground, and the old man stood up tremblingly.
Seeing this, the lady hurriedly instructed the maid Caihuan to help her. Caihuan hesitated and refused to move, and heard a sneering smile on the corner of Yang Bo's lips: "I, an old man who is about to die, do I use someone else's gold and jade to support me?" The left and right guys were waiting outside the courtyard, and I walked out by myself. β
The old lady smiled, but did not say any words to save her.
They have completely torn their faces, and they don't care about this last bit of decency.
Before leaving, Yang Bo asked in a weird way: "I didn't expect that you would forget all my kindness to you and your husband back then!" At this moment, if your husband is still alive, I don't know how disappointed I will be! β
The old lady shook her head slowly, with a gentle smile on her leather face, but the words that came out of her mouth were as cruel as knives: "This is what the old man has told." The lord deliberately separated you before he died, and it was for this reason that he didn't want you to hear the regret explanation, so he spread an inconsequential panic. The old man himself said that in the future, if you keep to yourself, the benefits of the Chu family must not be less, and Xuan'er must always treat you as elders, and there must be no rudeness. Contrarily........ It's today's situation, so Xuan'er didn't do anything wrong. β
"I'm the one who did the wrong? I helped you so much, you didn't care about the old feelings at all, do you know what Chu Mingxuan said to me in the hall just now? β
The old lady's eyelashes were half lowered, and a complicated emotion flashed in her eyes: "Brother Yang, stop it, if you continue like this, everyone's face will not look good." If this matter is settled, I will help you say two good words in front of Xuan'er in the future, he will listen to me the most, and he will not be overly careful, and we will be the same as before in the future. β
"Backwards? No further back! β
It is said that the older a person is, the more his temper will go back, and the same is true for Uncle Yang, who was humiliated in front of so many people in the Chu family today, he can't just forget it!
"You wait!"
After dropping these words, he flicked his sleeves and walked outside.
The old man with the cane walked tremblingly, and Caihuan was afraid that he would accidentally fall, so he followed from a distance, until the person was supported by the little girl, and his heart was completely relaxed.
She turned back to see the old lady, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard the old lady instruct: "You go and invite the son to come over, I have something to ask him, what is he thinking about such a big battle today?" β
