Chapter 286: Shrewd Mother
Chen An looked unbeaten, dangling in front of Chen Ping, his eyes narrowed, looking very excited, and his expression was like finding a small flower with bones left in the gap of the blue brick in the corner of the wall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
One hand pressed on Chen An's head and pushed it away, Chen Ping frowned and asked, "Sister-in-law?" What sister-in-law? ”
"You still want to lie to me, people are at home. Brother, you also said that I was asked to save money to marry a wife, and if you don't marry a wife now, you will bring one back, and see how your mother cleans you up. Chen An said a little sourly.
At this time, Chen Xiaoyi came out, glanced at Chen Ping, shook his head, sighed, and looked like Chen Ping had done something unseemly, and then left.
"What's going on?" It was fine before going out, why did it only take more than an hour to get back home, and it became like this when he came back home, Chen Ping was strange.
Grabbing Chen An, Chen Ping said: "Tell me about it, what's going on?" ”
"Don't mess with my robe, I bought it from the county." Chen An broke free and ran in, "I don't know what's going on, you ask your mother." ”
Liu came from the wing room at this time, still holding some bedding and clothes in his hands, seeing Chen Ping, listening to his feet, his face was not as cold as Chen Xiaoyi, and he reproached Chen Ping: "You kid, you are an official, but you can't be so nonsense outside." ”
"However, since you have a woman, you shouldn't let people down, so why should you let people come in person?"
This last sentence was filled with joy, and without waiting for Chen Ping to respond, he hurriedly left with the futon and clothes.
"What's going on?" Chen Ping was confused.
The moon is bright, the stars are numerous, the insects in the house are chirping, the frogs are crowing outside the courtyard, and in the courtyard of Chen Ping's house, the oil candle with the thickness of three fingers is lit.
In the hall, there were several porcelain plates on the table, and in them were some seasonal fruits, apples and bananas, and a plate of melon seeds.
There are six people, five members of Chen Ping's family, plus one person, and the person next to him is none other than the Liu woman that Chen Ping has seen in the palace of King Qi.
"Mother, that's the way it is, I'm just going to the Qi Palace's mansion for a banquet." Chen Ping's mouth was a little dry, there was a teapot on the table, he poured himself a glass of water, and took a sip, "I really don't know this person, you will go back to the Qi Palace" tomorrow." ”
Liu Shi didn't speak, just a bitter face, his nose twitched, tears flashed in his eyes, Chu Chu was pitiful, and looked at Liu: "I have nowhere to go." ”
"It can't be at my house." After turning around, this woman actually ended up in her own house, and Chen Ping didn't want her to stay.
"Both my parents are dead, and I have no relatives to rely on." Liu Xiaoyu lowered her head and sobbed.
"You can go back to King Qi again, he asked someone to send you, you should go back to him again." Chen Pingdao.
"If I go back, he'll kill me." Liu Xiaoyu made a scared look.
Chen Ping was about to say more, but Liu interjected and asked, "How old are you?" ”
"Sixteen."
Chen Ping glanced at it, only glanced at the towering chest, quite surprised, sixteen, it was so well developed, it was in the Qi Palace, at first glance, it was really impossible to see.
"Well, it's not that big. If you really don't have anywhere to go, just stay in my house, what do you think? It's just that my family is not rich, not as good as Qi Wangfu, and the food is simple, I'm afraid you are not used to it. ”
"I can be used to it, washing dishes and cooking, and I have done it at home since I was a child, and I can do it well." Liu Xiaoyu raised her head, busy is way.
Chen Ping glanced at Liu Xiaoyu's white arms and tender skin, thinking that it would be strange that you would do housework.
"Well, then you'll stay. It's not early, and I'm definitely tired all the way, so let's go down and rest. Liu settled down, and without waiting for Chen Ping to speak, he directly patted Chen An, who was munching on an apple on the side, "You lead Sister Xiaoyu to the wing." ”
Chen An happily led in front and took Liu Xiaoyu to the room to rest.
"Mother, this person can't stay. She is not an ordinary maidservant, she was a person by the emperor's side before, and if she stays at home, she will suffer disaster. "There are some words, it is really difficult to say Liu Xiaoyu's face, this will Liu Xiaoyu go out, Chen Ping hurriedly said.
Liu stood up, walked to the door, looked at it, and then took the door and returned to the table; "Do you really think your mother is stupid? This girl is handsome, and her background is pitiful, her mother really likes it, and she is pitiful. But my mother is not confused, and she also knows that she is not good at staying. ”
Chen Ping was stunned: "Then I said that I was going to send her back to the Qi Palace, why did you stop her?" ”
"Mother asked you, is the king of Qi a big official?" Liu sat next to Chen Ping and asked.
"Your Majesty's second son, the vassal king, must be regarded as a great official." Chen Ping nodded.
"That's it." Liu sighed, but there was pride in his tone, "Think about it, King Qi sent his handmaid to you, does he value you very much?" When he is a big official, his temper must be very eccentric, and King Qi is the son of the emperor, so he must be more favored. ”
"That's right." Dare to grab prey with his own Lao Tzu, but this character is eccentric, Chen Ping nodded again.
"That's it. If you drive away this girl and pass it back to the King of Qi to know, won't you offend him? First let this girl stay and pass it back, so that King Qi will know that you have received his love, and he will not be jealous of you in the future. Liu said.
Chen Ping was surprised, thinking that it was because he looked at Liu Xiaoyu pitiful, and his mother would let him stay, but he didn't expect that there would be so many considerations: "Mother, how do you know this, who told you?" ”
"Who's going to say that? You are young, you are valued by the emperor, you have become an official, you have opened a brick kiln, you have a winery, and you have an inn in the county, and you have a lot of money to buy such a house. My mother looked very happy, it was your grandfather, when he left the village, his head was much higher than in the past. ”
Chen Xiaoyi, who was on the side, heard this, coughed a few times, and looked quite embarrassed: "What are you talking about?" ”
"That's true, too." Liu glared at Chen Xiaoyi, turned back to Chen Ping and continued, "But these are inevitably to attract people's jealousy, and you should be even more careful in doing things." This girl will stay at home first, you go to Linyi, remember to be careful, don't rush ahead, the sword is not long-eyed, in case it is injured, but how is it good? ”
After talking for a while, Liu asked Chen Ping to rest, but he prepared clothes for Chen Ping for the long journey.
The robe, the jacket that crossed the east, and the moccasin shoes were neatly stacked one by one.
Lying on the bed, Chen Ping turned his head and saw the light from his grandmother's room outside the screen window, and a warm current rose from his heart and walked all over his body.
This is home.
On the second day, Chen Ping got up early, hung a large package behind the saddle, and went out of the village, when he passed the door of Erniu's house, Chen Erniu came out from behind the door and stuffed an iron object into Chen Ping's hand: "Grandpa asked me to give it to you, and in the past few months, only one has been made."
