Chapter 14: Rumors of Origin
The homesick courtyard that Jiang Zhiyue took away was the courtyard where Lin Qiantan's biological mother Chu Ling lived when she was still in the boudoir.
Lin Qiantan can not be angry, of course, it is the best. Chu Ling observed for a while, convinced that Lin Qiantan was not fake generosity, and felt a little strange.
Lin Qiantan did not explain.
After all, as a person's experience grows, the angular parts of a person's personality will gradually be cut away by time, and they will become able to look down on many things.
On the contrary, Chu Ling's face, which had been magnified several times, was close in front of him, so close that he almost kissed Lin Qiantan's mouth, which made Lin Qiantan feel funny.
She could even see the tiny pink fluff on her cousin's face.
This face, which is somewhat similar to Chu Jian and Jiang Ningniang, is full of beauty, and the eldest lady of the Chu family and Lin Qiantan's cousin Chu Pei, who has entered the palace as a female official, has always been called Chu Shuangshu by people outside.
Lin Qiantan looked at it, and somehow the ghost sent her through her, remembering a rumor that only arose a few years after the collapse of the Chu family in her previous life.
Rumors say that her cousin Chu Jiang is not the son of her uncle Chu Jian, but the illegitimate son of Jiang Ningniang and the wild man.
Naturally, rumors are just rumors. The people of the Chu family died a long time ago, and there was no proof of death, which is really what people can say.
When Lin Qiantan first heard it, she was naturally very angry. But as time passed, after calming down, Lin Qiantan found that the rumors had a certain factual basis.
Chu Jiang's appearance is indeed handsome, but he really has little resemblance to Chu Yan or even Jiang Ningniang, and he is far from Lin Qiantan's maternal grandparents.
On the contrary, he looks a little similar to the lover who was beaten by the stick when Jiang Ningniang was young.
Lin Qiantan's thoughts couldn't help but drift a little farther, but she was still called out by Chu Ling hurriedly before she came back to her senses.
She smiled, as if she hadn't heard what Chu Ling had just said, and asked her to say it again apologetically.
Chu Ling was a little unhappy - she was discussing her marriage with Lin Qiantan. But she didn't worry about Lin Qiantan because Lin Qiantan didn't listen carefully to her troubles, and the two cousins who often came and went, she still liked Lin Qiantan more.
Chu Ling really repeated what he had just said, and then took Lin Qiantan to Yanran Residence. Yanranju is also the boudoir used by the previous generation of the Chu family. Lin Qiantan's maternal grandfather strictly said that he gave birth to two sons and two daughters, deducting the uncle who died young, and one son and two daughters.
Yanranju is where Lin Qiantan's aunt Chu Qiao lived. Jiang Zhiyue robbed the homesick house, and Jiang Ningniang gave Yanranju to Lin Qiantan to live temporarily, even if she stabbed Chu Yan, it was reasonable.
The interior of the attic has naturally been cleaned, and all the daily necessities are ready-made. Jiang Ningniang didn't overdo these superficial things, otherwise she would lose her own face in the end.
Lin Qiantan was taken by Chu Ling to walk around the vicinity of Yanranju, and was about to take off her body and go to wash and clean, waiting for Mei outside, someone came from the main house.
When Lin Qiantan heard this, she went out with Chu Ling, only to know that the person who came was not only a heavyweight housekeeper's daughter-in-law beside Jiang Ningniang, but also an acquaintance.
This acquaintance is known as the "Chu Shen family".
It is said that the road is narrow, and Chu Shen's family is naturally Chu Shen's wife. Lin Qiantan had just pitted Chu Shen on the road, and Chu Shen's wife was ordered by Jiang Ningniang to check Lin Qiantan's satisfaction with her new home.
Chu Shen's original name was Qiu Pei, but after marrying Chu Shen, others were used to calling her by her husband's name, and over time, everyone didn't remember that she still had her own name.
As soon as Qiu Pei came in, she was full of smiles, as if she didn't know that her husband had been beaten and came back with a swollen face, and after walking up to Lin Qiantan and saluting, she greeted Lin Qiantan very dutifully, as if "Miss Cousin is satisfied here" or "Miss Cousin is in need, just send someone to find a slave".
It wasn't until she turned around and walked out of Lin Qiantan that the look on her face sank.
In front of his master, the husband naturally couldn't say anything, only said that he was careless in a few bandages on his face. But just now she took advantage of the time to ask, and then she learned that it was the cheap hoof named Mei next to the poor lady of the Lin family, and if she couldn't seduce her, she let other "prostitutes" beat people......
Bah! Look at the appearance of a fox, he is a slut who hooks up with three or four, what kind of master is there, what kind of slave is there......
Qiu Pei walked away with a gloomy and unhappy face, and he was already calculating how to give the Lin family these stumbling blocks and find trouble. She is the son of the Jiang family, and when she was young, she followed Jiang Ningniang to marry the Chu family, and the two cousins "competed" for her young master, so she naturally wanted Jiang Zhiyue, so she thought about what to do, can make Lin Qiantan's master and servant uncomfortable but still suffering......
Coincidentally, she was dozing off when someone handed her a pillow. She had just walked outside the main room and hadn't gone in to report to Jiang Ningniang, when she happened to hear that a noble person had come to the gate, and it was Princess Jinhua under the knees of the imperial concubine in the palace.
People in Beijing said that the son of the Chu family was blessed and favored by Princess Jinhua, who was the most favored by the emperor. If it weren't for the fact that Princess Jinhua had already decided to be married off to her relatives, most of the palace would have given her a holy decree to recruit the son of the Chu family as the east bed concubine.
The girl who ran in all the way naturally went inside and told Jiang Ningniang about it, but Qiu Pei was thoughtful, her eyes rolled, and she didn't go inside, but ran straight out.
Jinhua is a frequent visitor to the Chu family, and most of the Chu family's masters and servants are very familiar with her. The reverse is the same, Princess Jinhua loves Chu Jiang, so she always pays attention to the people and things related to Chu Jiang, and naturally she has noticed that Chu Jiang's mother has such a person as Qiu Pei by her side.
The so-called love house and Wu, when I see it on weekdays, Jinhua is also willing to give a senior slave like Qiu Pei a little face.
This gave Qiu Pei a chance.
The princess arrived, and as a confidant of the lady in charge, she rushed outside to greet the princess for the master, but it was a matter of course. Qiu Pei put on a courteous smiling face as he walked out, and unconsciously quickened the pace of his feet......
At the same time, Jiang Ningniang in the main room naturally just knew about Jinhua's arrival. She got up and didn't say anything, but also sent someone to call all the masters who could be called in the house, and among them, Lin Qiantan had to be included.
Lin Qiantan and Princess Jinhua from the past life to this life are two parallel lines that do not intersect, so when she heard that Jiang Ningniang sent someone to inform her, she didn't care, and she didn't know that she would be in trouble by Princess Jinhua next.
