Kyoto has arrived, and the favor has been almost repaid, and when the old lady's birthday is over, he can ask for his farewell, and Xiangji and Yu'er are still waiting for him at home.

No matter how big the Chu family's family business is, it will not be his turn to inherit it, not to mention that he is really not interested in this, coming to the Chu family to see, it is just the obsession of the child in the dream, Chu Yun has a hunch, when he dreams again, he will definitely not see him.

Just as Chu Yun was comfortably lying in the bathtub soaking, several maids sat under the porch at the door and whispered.

"That's the little young master, it seems that the eldest young master ran away from home twenty years ago is true......" A maid with a double bun exclaimed.

An older maid whispered: "Of course it's true, the old people in the house know that the eldest young master eloped with a woman and left home back then, otherwise, how could the second master be the head of the house~?" ”

"I heard the old lady say just now that the little master and the young master look exactly the same, I don't know if it's true." A round-faced maid muttered.

"It's really true, there is a portrait of the young master in the old lady's Buddhist hall, I have seen it, the person on it is very similar to the little master, the old lady looks at the portrait every time and tears, it should be the young master......"

"The little young master is really handsome, although he looks thin, but when he takes off his clothes, he is really very material...... you say, who will the old lady let serve the little master~?"

In these big families, the maids who serve the young master will generally become concubines in the end, although they can't talk about flying on the branches and becoming phoenixes, but in the future, brocade clothes and jade food are indispensable, therefore, becoming the young master's personal maid is the ideal of most maids.

One of them laughed when he heard this: "Don't dream, I don't think the little master has any idea about us at all, otherwise he wouldn't have driven us all out just now, can the young master take a fancy to us~?" ”

Having nothing to do and secretly chewing on the root of the tongue of some of the masters' houses is probably one of the few entertainments for these subordinates, especially when there is no one around, the topic will be bolder.

At this time, in a hall in the back house, the woman with an angry face pointed to Chu Ze, the current head of the Chu family, and said: "Look at it, look at it, what kind of favoritism this has become, can the bracelet be given out casually, does she want that foreign woman to be the eldest wife of our Chu family~?" ”

"I knew, I knew, after so many years, the old lady was still thinking about her eldest son, calling out a "good grandson", whether there were any us in her eyes, she gave away all the heirloom bracelets today, and she won't send the Chu family out tomorrow......"

"Shut up~~!"

Chu Ze slapped the table, stood up and said: "He is the only bloodline of the eldest brother, and he is the descendant of our Chu family, I owe too much to the eldest brother, I can't treat this child badly, ......these words, I will not say it again in the future~!" ”

After that, he brushed his sleeves and left, leaving only the woman in the hall, scolding even louder.

……

……

Chu Yun woke up, he had not dreamed recently, and he suddenly felt refreshed, looked up at the window, and found that the sky had darkened.

"Young master~, the old lady asked the slave maid to take the young master to dinner~."

The knock was followed by a crisp sound.

The Chu family is really big, the important thing is that the roads are winding and winding, turning around, and the moon arches are one after another, Chu Yun is not very good at recognizing the road, and after simply washing his face, he is still led by a little maid and walks through the house.

A big family is a big family, and even there is a specific place for eating, unlike a small village and a small village, where there is a place to squat, where is the canteen.

As soon as he walked in from outside the door, a beautiful woman in her thirties walked over, took his hand, and looked him up and down.

"Sure enough, it's the eldest brother's child, and he looks exactly the same as the eldest brother when he was young~."

The women of the Chu family have the habit of holding other people's hands when they meet, and when they are interested, they may knead their faces twice.

Chu Yun's face was about to be deformed by the beautiful woman, and he had to forcibly squeeze out a smile: "You must be my sister-in-law...... my nephew has seen my sister-in-law~." ”

The old lady had three sons and one daughter under her knees, and according to what she called just now, Chu Yun quickly judged the identity of the beautiful woman in front of him.

The youngest daughter of the old lady is also his titular sister-in-law.

"Good boy~, come and sit, you must be tired along the way......" The women of the Chu family are also very enthusiastic, and it has been more than half a year since they came to this world, and it is the first time that Chu Yun has this feeling of being welcomed by everyone, like a wanderer returning home.

Of course, touching is touching, and he knows very well in his heart that his home is in Sujiang Mansion, not in Kyoto.

was pulled by the beautiful woman to sit next to the old lady, and opposite was Yan Chuchu, who had changed his clothes.

There was a jade bracelet given to her by the old lady on her wrist, and the hairpin on her head was also replaced by a pair that she had never seen, just sitting there quietly, the butterfly wings on the hairpin would be slowly stirred, and it was worth a lot of money at a glance; The saber that almost never leaves the body doesn't know where to put it, and after not seeing it for a while, it has changed from a peerless woman to a lady, needless to say, this must be the credit of the old lady.

The one who eats together is the old lady, who controls the current power core of the Chu family, in addition to the second and third uncle's family that they met in the morning, and the sister-in-law who kept asking questions next to him, a half-old child at the end of the table stared at Chu Yun with wide eyes, and was very curious that this stranger who had never seen before could sit next to the old grandmother.

It is said that eating in a big family, eating without sleeping is the most basic rule, Chu Yun found that this rule does not apply in the Chu family, the beautiful women around him have been pulling him to ask long and short questions, and even the old lady will occasionally interject a few words, of course, most of them are about his life over the years, and more about the father who has "never met".

Fortunately, the strange dreams he had in the past few days were the memories hidden in the depths of this body, and he was effortless to answer, he was just telling the facts, but the old lady and the beautiful woman were red eyes when they heard it.

"Your father, has he never told you about our Chu family~?" The old lady rubbed her eyes quietly and asked.

Chu Yun shook his head, this is exactly the case, about the Chu family in the capital, from childhood to adulthood, no one has ever said anything to him.

The old lady sighed and said sadly: "Back then, in order to break them up, the old man almost killed your mother, and he still hated us......"

Chu Yun didn't know that there was such a thing, no wonder his father was always haunted by his mother's death in his memory, it seemed that he was reluctant to mention the Chu family, a large part of it was probably because of this incident.

Not wanting the old lady to be too sad, the beautiful woman hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "I heard Steward Chu say, Xiao Yun'er is now the captain of a county, or is it personally sealed by His Majesty's royal pen today~?" ”

For this title, Chu Yun didn't react for a while, Yan Chuchu on the other side almost squirted out a mouthful of soup, patted his chest, and looked at Chu Yun's eyes full of ridicule.

"Your Majesty is just loving~." Chu Yun could only nod and say.

"If you have the emperor's grace, you should be more diligent, you were admitted to Xiucai at a young age, which shows that you are extremely talented, why haven't you continued to participate in the imperial examination in the past few years~?" The middle-aged man sitting opposite the beautiful woman put down his chopsticks, looked at Chu Yun and asked.

Without waiting for Chu Yun to answer, he spoke again: "But if I am an official of the seventh rank or above, I will not take it if I am not a Jinshi, although you inherit the emperor's grace, you should also study hard and strive to obtain the fame of Jinshi as soon as possible~." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, it smelled of admonition.

The emperor's grace is vast, and it is often vast, perhaps because of a poem, an article, into His Majesty's eyes, you can get an official and a half position, Chu Ze, as the left servant of the ministry, has seen a lot of these things, not a hundred but eighty every year.

Although he was also a little curious about what Chu Yun had done to be rewarded by His Majesty, he was not too surprised, but in any case, he was also the most promising junior of the Chu family.

Thinking of the situation of the juniors of the Chu family, he looked at the two people in the first place, and said: "Cheng Jie, Cheng Ying, you two also have to learn from your brother, Cheng Ying should listen to Mr. 's teachings, don't just think about playing around all day long, as for Cheng Jie, he will get married in a few months, and he will go to the flower street and willow lane in the future." ”

For his son, Chu Ze has no hope, and plans to help him find an official position in the future and spend this life in peace, even if the Chu family is cut off after a few decades, after so many years of operation, he will not be reduced to being bullied.

After Chu Ze finished speaking, a young man at the end of the table nodded his hanging head, and he felt like he was being hit by an arrow in his chest.

However, even if he was given ten dares, he would not dare to refute his father's words.

As for the young man who was using a wooden spoon to quickly pick up rice in his mouth, he just shook his round head, he was most afraid of this second uncle, what the second uncle said was what it was, hurry up and finish eating, the bird's nest on the tree in the yard should be digged.

The meal was very harmonious, and from some fragmentary words, Chu Yun also had a deeper understanding of the current Chu family.

In the capital, the political center of the Xia Kingdom, a viscount is indeed nothing, and a random green brick on the street can kill the two, but those once prominent families have some background and are not so easy to decline.

Such a Chu family, there is not much more than him, there is no less than him, and it feels very uncomfortable to be taken care of by others, so it is better to go back to the small Sujiang Mansion and live a leisurely life with that small courtyard and incense marks.

Sent away the maid arranged for him by the old lady, and sat in the courtyard assigned to him, the moon on the sixteenth day of the first month was round, but there were few stars.

"Xiao Yun'er~~."

While Chu Yun was thinking about this, a strange voice of yin and yang came from the wall.

Naturally, the Chu family in the capital did not have such a treasure as a rocking chair, Chu Yun leaned on the small chair, looked at the white shadow standing on the wall, and said lazily: "Xiao Yan'er, is it your name when you were a child?" Why have I never heard of incense marks~? ”

Yan Chuchu was stunned for a moment, and then thought that this title seemed to be suitable for him, and he originally wanted to use it to make fun of Chu Yun, but he didn't expect to put himself in it.

With a hint of annoyance on her face, she threw down the wall and jumped off the wall with the maid who was anxiously shouting for her to hurry down.
