146 handles
Chu Qianchen yawned lazily and made a gesture.
After a while, the curtain of Concubine Xiang was opened, and Chu Qianling, who was wearing a red skirt and a veil on her face, walked in quickly.
Looking at the clothes, materials and jewelry in this room, a trace of jealousy flashed in Chu Qianling's eyes, and it disappeared in a flash.
The Internal Affairs Office did not come empty-handed this time, in addition to letting Chu Qianchen try on the wedding dress, they also brought two boxes of rewards from the queen.
In order to show her attention to Chu Qianchen, the future brother and sister, the queen gave her all good things, such as snail dai, hosta powder, cloud brocade, Shu brocade, antique calligraphy and painting, various jade bracelets, jade pendants, jade ruyi, jade ears and other jade ornaments, which dazzled Chu Qianling.
These were all tributes that Chu Qianling could only see in person in those royal family sects in the past.
Chu Qianling's fist hidden in his sleeve clenched, and he quickly calmed down.
Chu Qianchen is just a joy for people, maybe she will be a widow in a few days after she gets married, and she will have a hard life in the future, what is there to envy!
Thinking about it like this, Chu Qianling's heart felt comfortable.
That's right, the person Chu Qianchen married is King Chen, Gu Nanzhao's imperial uncle, and her identity is Gu Nanzhao's imperial aunt, even if she is widowed in the future, it is impossible to have anything to do with Gu Nanzhao anymore.
Without Chu Qianchen, the most suitable girl in the Chu family to marry Gu Nanzhao as a side concubine is herself......
Chu Qianling's mood suddenly became happy, as long as she healed her face as soon as possible.
As soon as she sat down, she went straight to the point and said, "Second sister, the Ten Perfection Paste you gave me has long been used up." ”
Chu Qianchen touched the little black cat curled up in the cat kennel and slept by himself, as if he hadn't heard it.
Chu Qianling: "......"
Chu Qianling's breath that he finally pressed down began to climb steadily, and his heart was suffocating like a twist.
However, she couldn't just throw her sleeves and leave.
She took two deep breaths in a row and said in a difficult voice, "Don't you want to know why the big sister wants to deal with you?" I already know it......"
When Amber heard this, she immediately sent out all the other little maids in the room, and sent someone to guard outside.
"Meow?"
The little black cat in the cat nest barked softly, tilting its little head to rub Chu Qianchen's soft palm.
"Good." Chu Qianchen touched the kitten, but still ignored Chu Qianling.
Her ignorance made Chu Qianling, who was confident at the beginning, a little bottomless.
Before she came, she had carefully discussed with her mother Liu what to say, and when it came to this step, it should be Chu Qianchen who asked her what was going on, so she could have the upper hand and let Chu Qianchen hand over the Ten Perfection Paste first, even if it was half a jar.
But now, Chu Qianchen didn't speak at all, nor did he look at himself, as if he didn't care at all.
Chu Qianling bit her lower lip slightly, her eyes flashing.
Originally, she and her mother felt that they were nine out of ten, but now she is a little bottomless.
Could it be that Chu Qianchen is about to become Princess Chen and give up caring about these past events?
Isn't your own face, then......
Chu Qianling just thought about it, and felt that his heart sank little by little, and he felt cold all over......
"Woo......" The little black cat rolled in the cat nest intoxicated, and its soft body twisted out an incredible arc, which made Chu Qianchen's heart soft, and he pursed his lips and smiled slightly.
Chu Qianling finally couldn't hold it back.
In just a few breaths, she felt as if it was a few days and nights.
"Second sister, in fact, you were not born by Aunt Jiang at all, but brought back from the outside." Chu Qianling finished saying this sentence in one breath, and his words were amazing.
Amber was so shocked that the teacup in her hand almost didn't fall, and she was dumbfounded.
Chu Qianchen: "......"
She paused as she touched the little black cat, and the tail finger of her right hand trembled.
She turned her head to look at Chu Qianling, her eyes were as clear as water, and Chu Qianling's face was reflected in her pupils.
This is the first time since Chu Qianling came in, Chu Qianchen has looked at her.
Bang bang!
Chu Qianling couldn't help but beat faster.
So, the information she and her mother found is still useful, right?
Before Chu Qianchen could speak, Amber changed his face, took a step forward, stood between Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianling, and scolded: "Third girl, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”
In Amber's opinion, Chu Qianling is simply nonsense, how can the bloodline of the Hou Mansion be so easy to be confused, and now Chu Qianchen has been given a marriage to King Chen, if she is not the bloodline of the Chu family, then this marriage is still counted?!
The more Amber thought about it, the more she felt that Chu Qianling was uneasy and kind.
In the past, Chu Qianling wanted to ruin her girl's face, but now she wants to pour a bucket of dirty water on the girl's life experience, which is simply dampening!
Amber shouted, Chu Qianling's heart rose to his throat again, for fear that Chu Qianchen would not believe it, so he hurriedly said: "I have evidence!" ”
She's not just talking.
Chu Qianling continued: "My mother found a mother-in-law who had served at Aunt Jiang's place, surnamed Xu. Fourteen years ago, after Aunt Jiang became pregnant, she was sent to her hometown by her grandfather when she was five months old, and that Mrs. Xu was serving Aunt Jiang at that time. ”
Chu Lingxiao has always favored Aunt Jiang, which is well known to everyone in the Hou Mansion, back then, Aunt Jiang and Shen were pregnant almost at the same time, and the old Hou felt that spoiling his concubine and killing his wife was a ruined family, so he ignored Chu Lingxiao's opposition and sent Aunt Jiang to his hometown.
"Back then, Aunt Jiang had fetal gas in her hometown, and the fetus was born prematurely at only eight months. That day, Mrs. Xu went to the backyard to hide and saw with her own eyes that the eldest uncle sent one swaddling clothes into the delivery room, and then took out another swaddling one, stuffed it in a basket and took it away. ”
"The eldest uncle's visit did not alarm anyone in his hometown, as if he had never been. Later, after another three days, the eldest uncle and aunt arrived at their hometown. ”
"Mrs. Xu knew that there were ghosts in it, but she didn't dare to say anything."
Chu Qianling and Liu discussed it carefully, and felt that if this was the case, everything could be explained.
No wonder Chu Lingxiao dotes on Aunt Jiang, but he has never liked Chu Qianchen.
No wonder Aunt Jiang has been "hiding" Chu Qianchen and not letting her go out to meet people!
Chu Qianchen is just an outer room girl, and she is not qualified to be a side concubine for the second prince at all!
Chu Qianling looked at Chu Qianchen's eyes with a touch of contempt, and said: "My mother followed the clue of Mrs. Xu, you are actually raised by the eldest uncle's outer room, because Aunt Jiang gave birth to a stillborn child, the eldest uncle simply brought you back to Aunt Jiang to raise." ”
"Aunt Jiang may not have found out at first, but she must have known about it later."
"For the sake of the eldest uncle, she can only recognize you."
"You're not her biological daughter, she has a bit of a grudge against you, that's why she gave you such a name."
"Chu, Qian, Chen."
Chu Qianling said whatever he thought, and talked a lot of things, some of which were found out, some of which were guessed, and more of which were made up, anyway, as long as it sounded reasonable.
Chu Qianchen continued to touch the little black cat's oily and slippery back, his expression was a little casual, and asked, "What about the big sister?" ”
Even if there is really some secret to her background, why did Chu Qianhuang target her?
Chu Qianling's fist hidden in his sleeve clenched again.
They still don't have a clue about this.
Mother also guessed whether Chu Qianhuang had discovered the secret of Chu Qianchen's life experience, but even so, Chu Qianchen's existence would not harm Chu Qianhuang's interests as the eldest daughter.
The mother was puzzled, and said that even if they couldn't find out, they would make up a reason to make Chu Qianhuang bitter.
Anyway, Chu Qianhuang was unrighteous first.
Chu Qianling said the words that had been prepared a long time ago: "Big sister shouldn't know your life experience, the eldest uncle has always favored Aunt Jiang, and the eldest sister has always been unhappy in her heart, she is angry with you in order to make her angry with her eldest aunt." ”
Chu Qianling lightly brushed over this topic, and went back to Chu Qianchen's life experience, and deliberately said in a soft tone: "Second sister, don't worry, although my mother and I know your life experience, we will never say it." ”
Chu Qianling consciously grabbed Chu Qianchen's handle, if the secret that she was an outer chamber girl spread out, I am afraid that it would not even be her turn to give King Chen Chongxi, and besides, it was impossible for other noble mansions in Beijing to pick an outer room girl as a daughter-in-law.
That's how Chu Qianchen has been in this life.
Just like my mother said, I don't have to take Chu Qianchen to heart at all, the most important thing is to cure my face first.
Chu Qianling stared at Chu Qianchen deadly, and said: "If you don't believe it, I can ask my mother to find that Xu Pozi......" If Chu Qianchen is interested, he should use the Ten Perfection Cream to gag his mouth.
Chu Qianchen looked back at Chu Qianling calmly, and the corners of his lips were slightly curved with a little clear smile.
She was so calm that Chu Qianling began to feel uneasy again.
At this moment, a little maid's voice came from outside, breaking the silence in the room: "Second girl, the princess of Jingjun is here, and the eldest lady asked you to take the county lord over." ”
Chu Qianchen finally moved, and casually gestured to Amber.
Amber took out a small porcelain vase with blue flowers on a white background and handed it over.
Chu Qianling couldn't wait, his eyes lit up, as if a hungry wolf had seen flesh and blood, he snatched the small porcelain vase with blue flowers on a white background, and his heart was put down again.
Sure enough, she grabbed Chu Qianchen's handle......
However, when she opened the small porcelain vase with blue flowers on a white background, it was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on her head, and her face changed instantly.
This small porcelain bottle is indeed full of ointment, but it is only the size of a fingernail, and it can't be used a few times.
Chu Qianling, who endured and endured, held back and suffocated, finally couldn't bear it anymore, Huo Di stood up and said sharply: "Chu Qianchen, what do you mean by this!" "It's just such a perfect ointment, should she be called Hanako?!
Chu Qianchen hooked his lips and smiled, and said lightly: "Your story is well written, you can go and write a drama book, this is a reward for you." ”
The story that Chu Qianling said was full of leaks, and it was about one or two points true, and then made it up on the basis of this, and most of the "credit" was naturally attributed to the Liu family.
"......" Chu Qianling's face turned red all of a sudden, first there was a kind of weakness in the heart that was said, and then he was angry, thinking that Chu Qianchen was playing with her.
Chu Qianchen didn't care about her reaction at all, and instructed Amber: "You go and see if Qi Niang is awake?" ”
The little black cat seemed to understand Qi Niang's name, stretched her neck to look left and right, and meowed.
Gu Zhiyan was sent back to sleep by Chu Qianchen, she secretly got up in the early hours of the morning to play with the little black cat for two days in a row, yawned during the day, and was caught yesterday morning, Chu Qianchen "punished" her to sleep back in the cage, otherwise she couldn't play with the cat.
Amber glanced at the angry Chu Qianling and answered: "Yes, girl." ”
She also saw through that Chu Qianling was not enough for her own girls to play at all, and the two were not at the same level at all.
Amber picked up the little black cat and went to find Gu Zhiyan.
Chu Qianling saw that he was being ignored, and he was even more annoyed, biting his lower lip slightly, and his lips were almost bleeding.
She wanted to shake Chu Qianchen's ear scraper, but she didn't dare.
Fang Cai's angry rebuke was just an impulse, and when he calmed down, he was afraid that he would really annoy Chu Qianchen. Her life is still in Chu Qianchen's hands!
Chu Qianling's face was red, white, and blue for a while, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What I said is true!" ”
"Didn't I say that? My mother can find that Mrs. Xu......"
"What evidence do you want......
Chu Qianling was extremely confused, and when she spoke, she spoke incoherently, like a madwoman.
Chu Qianchen's expression was still faint, unfazed, like a hollow valley orchid, I bloomed by myself.
Chu Qianling felt as if a raging rhinoceros was rampage in her heart, and it was like a volcano about to erupt, she wanted to vent her resentment and grievances, but there was nowhere to vent.
After all, she could only hold the small porcelain bottle in her hand and leave angrily.
Every step is so hard.
As soon as Chu Qianling left, Chu Qianchen's face changed, the corners of his lips that were originally curved were tightly pursed, and his eyes became deeper and deeper little by little, and the dark tide was surging.
Gu Zhiyan's innocent and delicate voice came from outside: "Yueyue, be good!" ”
Chu Qianchen stood up, stroked his skirt, and walked out of the second room, just bumping into Gu Zhiyan, who was walking with a cat.
Gu Zhiyan, who had just slept and returned to sleep, was in good spirits, not at all like she had just gotten up, and the little black cat in her arms yawned lazily.
Chu Qianchen carried a basket in his hand and pointed to the basket, and Gu Zhiyan obediently put the little black cat into the basket.
Chu Qianchen handed the basket to the little girl, who was carrying the cat basket and didn't grab Chu Qianchen's skirt anymore, and followed her step by step.
One large and one small walked in the direction of the main courtyard.
Chu Qianchen thought as he walked.
In this life, she also suspected that she was not born to Aunt Jiang, but she didn't think about it.
Until today, she has to wonder if this is true, so Aunt Jiang doesn't have a little mother-daughter affection for her?
However, there are many things that don't make sense in Chu Qianling's words.
Chu Qianchen could probably guess that Mrs. Xu should be a real person, but what Mrs. Xu saw, how much Chu Qianling's words were true, how much false, and how much they were made up, it is difficult to say.
She's not in a hurry anyway.
She's been through it for a lifetime.
The experience of her previous life has shaped her today, and for her now, it doesn't matter so much whether she is born to Aunt Jiang or not, and whether her father likes her.
She's just asking for the truth within her ability.
The oncoming breeze gently caressed Chu Qianchen's cheeks and caressed the corners of her curved lips, her steps light but steady.
There is no hurry.
Chu Qianling and Liu were much more anxious than her.
In order to be perfect, their mother and daughter should be able to do more, and they are not so easy to be perfunctory.
Amber, who was following behind Chu Qianchen, looked at her with complicated eyes, and she was also thinking about what Chu Qianling said just now, and she was a little worried in her heart: no matter how strong the girl was, she was just a girl who was not yet fourteen years old after all.
What if the girl's background is really in doubt......
Amber was also confused, not knowing if this was a good thing or ...... for Chu Qianchen
No one spoke along the way, only the little black cat in the basket made various "meow" sounds from time to time, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes soft and glutinous, sometimes impatient, sometimes lazy.
Gu Zhiyan also replied with a cat meow, as if he was talking to it, and his smile was sweet.
Her nurse is also smiling, living in the Hou Mansion for the past few days, seeing the county lord getting better day by day, the nurse is also relieved.
Several of them came to the main courtyard with each other.
Shen Yun was having a good time with the Shen family, but his heart had already flown to his daughter, and he stretched his neck to look out of the house from time to time, and he was already in a hurry.
Except for the days when her daughter was abducted, Shen Yun had never been separated from her daughter for so long, and she had long wanted to pick up her daughter.
However, Shen specially asked Mama Rong to go to the Guogong Mansion to see her, saying that Qi Niang's absence of consciousness was getting better day by day, and she was very happy every day, so she asked Shen Yun not to come for the time being.
Shen Yun also thought that even if she didn't take Gu Zhiyan away, she could come to the Hou Mansion to see her, but she was stopped by Duchess Mu Guo, and only asked Mama Rong to go to the Guogong Mansion every day to talk about Gu Zhiyan's daily life.
stayed up like this for six days, these six days, Shen Yun really lived like a year, and it felt like six years had passed.
As soon as Gu Zhiyan entered the courtyard, Shen Yun saw her, and a pair of eyes were glued to her daughter.
Gu Zhiyan was wearing a begonia red embroidered folded hibiscus shirt, with a pink long skirt, carrying a basket in his right hand, touching the little black cat's head while walking, smiling with crooked eyebrows.
This scene is very ordinary, but in Shen Yun's eyes, it is so unusual.
Her eye sockets were hot and sour.
For a moment, Shen Wan almost thought that he was back in the past.
In the past, Gu Zhiyan was a little girl who loved to laugh, always calling herself a mother sweetly, and when she smiled, there was a pair of cute dimples at the corner of her mouth.
My daughter is really getting better.
Shen Wan wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, trying to stabilize his emotions.
By the time Gu Zhiyan entered the house with Chu Qianchen, Shen Yun had already returned to normal, looking at him with a gentle smile.
The two cousins walked up to the two elders and greeted them separately:
"Mother, aunt."
"Great aunt, mother."
Seeing Gu Zhiyan greet him upright, Shen Yun's eyes began to glow with hot flashes again.
"Come, Qi Niang, let the mother concubine take a look." Shen Yun beckoned to Gu Zhiyan.
Gu Zhiyan walked over obediently, first carefully placing the basket containing the little black cat on another chair next to him, and then handed a hand to Shen Yun.
The little girl's palm was warm, a cut higher than Shen Yun's body temperature.
Shen Yun asked with concern, "Qi Niang, are you hot?" ”
The weather has been hotter in the past two days, Gu Zhiyan has always been afraid of heat, and Shen Yun is worried that her daughter will not sleep well at night, and she is worried about heat stroke.
Gu Zhiyan shook his head.
Shen Yun's heart was even more excited, and the corners of his lips curled high.
My daughter is really getting better day by day and will respond to her questions.
Or the eldest sister will take care of people! Shen Yun sighed in his heart.
She looked at Gu Zhiyan carefully, and found that her daughter's cheeks had become a little rounder in the past few days, and there was a faint flush on her cheeks, and she was radiant.
Shen Yun rubbed Gu Zhiyan's head and said to the Shen family: "Eldest sister, I want to take Qi Niang back." ”
The fourth brother of King Jingjun is also a son-in-law, and the reason why King Jingjun has no concubine is because he spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, saying that he had a loss of personal morality, and proposed to take away the title of king of the county.
Unless the children of the clan have committed a major crime such as rebellion, it is impossible to abolish the title without a big mistake, Gu Hong's thoughts, it can be said that Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by, to put it bluntly, he is aiming for the title of King Jingjun.
There was such a big thing in the county king's mansion, and Shen Yun was also worried that King Jingjun would not be able to live in her mother's house, and planned to go back to the county king's mansion, so she came to the Hou Mansion today to pick up Gu Zhiyan and go back together.
Shen Shi was noncommittal, and asked Gu Zhiyan, "Qi Niang, do you want to go home?" ”
Gu Zhiyan shook his head, the meaning was very clear, don't.
At this moment, the little black cat stood up from the basket, stretched, and then jumped lightly.
Its legs and feet had healed, and its posture when it landed was so elegant, it attracted Gu Zhiyan's attention.
The little black cat "meowed", walked to Gu Zhiyan's embroidered shoes, and gently rubbed her skirt with her fluffy head.
Gu Zhiyan looked at the little black cat with burning eyes, leaned over and hugged it, and called sweetly: "Yueyue." ”
Shen Yun had heard Mama Rong say that Gu Zhiyan liked this kitten called Moon Shadow, and thought that she was reluctant to give up the kitten, so she smiled and said, "Qi Niang, then let's bring the kitten back, okay?" ”
Shen Yun actually doesn't like to raise cats, when her daughter was three years old, she once went to Shun Wangfu as a guest, and was scratched by the lion cat raised by Princess Shun, and that time scared Shen Yun.
After all, cats have claws, and it would be bad if they scratched their daughter's face.
However, nothing is more than what my daughter likes.
Her daughter's absence was finally improved, and Shen Yun didn't want to stimulate her daughter again, so she made this proposal. She believes that it is just a cat, and her eldest sister is not reluctant.
"No way!" Gu Zhiyan gently touched the little black cat, looked up at Shen Yun, and said slowly, "I haven't given a dowry gift, so I can't take it back." ”
Shen couldn't help but laugh when he heard Chu Yunmu talk about the dowry.
Shen Yun was stunned, and understood that her daughter was talking about the custom of hiring cats, and her mood became more happy.
"Qi Niang ......"
As soon as Shen Yun's voice started, a little maid said outside the door, "Madam, the eldest girl has come to greet you." ”
Chu Qianhuang had just returned from the palace.
