Chapter Seventy-Seven: Beaten
Chen Luo lay softly in the quilt, watching the night be dyed white by the morning light little by little.
Maybe he was too tired during this time, and he couldn't find a suitable person to speak, right?
Chen Luo exonerated himself in his heart.
He thought about what had happened during this time, and felt that his head began to ache faintly again.
Chen Yu, his personal servant, walked in lightly and shouted "Adult" in a low and tentative voice.
Since Chen Luo had an official status, he didn't like others to call him "Gongzi", and the people around him all changed their words according to his intentions, except for the old people in the Zhenguo Mansion.
They will act more according to Chen Yu's wishes.
Chen Luo didn't move.
Chen Yu thought about it and was about to turn around and leave.
Chen Luo said: "What's the use of you being afraid of waking me up?" Can I not go to Grandpa Guo's study to listen to his reprimand? ”
There are several servants around him who serve his daily routine, and if something big hadn't happened, Chen Yu wouldn't have called him in person.
Chen Yu stood still, his face full of guilt.
Chen Luo just felt colder in his heart.
He got up and commanded Chen Yu in a cowardly manner: "Let them fetch water and come in and serve me to change clothes!" ”
Chen Yu bowed his head and went out of the door angrily.
Chen Luo was crooked at the head of the bed thinking about Chen Jue's homecoming, but his thoughts didn't know why he turned to Wang Xi.
The little girl had a pair of talking eyes, and knew that Chen Jue was unhappy when she came to Lu Mingxuan to make a big noise, but his father had never asked him carefully why he quarreled with the eldest sister in the family, not even the person next door.
Maybe that's one of the reasons why he suddenly let his guard down?
Chen Luo thought, freshened up, and followed Chen Yu out of the door.
The hour was still early, but the sky was not very good, and that little bit of morning light was always in the east and only a line was exposed, and the sky was a little dark, as if it was going to rain.
Passing by the east road of the eldest princess's mansion, he couldn't help but ask, "Didn't the eldest princess say anything?" ”
"Say, say!" Chen Yu said, "You know Grandpa Keguo's temper. It's okay if the eldest princess doesn't help you speak, but if she helps you speak, Grandpa Guo will definitely blame her. The eldest princess simply went to the grandfather of the country. Anyway, Grandpa Guo didn't dare to beat you like when you were a child.
"Now that you have grown up, you are a military attache of the third grade, and you will be knighted one day. If he dares to touch you, the emperor will definitely say about him.
"Grandpa Guo is not happy in his heart, if he wants to teach you a lesson, let him say a good thing. You won't be missing a piece of meat!
"Grandpa Guo said that he was happy, he was angry, and this matter was over!"
Chen Yu knew his knot in his heart and intended to comfort him, but he didn't have a charter, which made Chen Luo feel more pitiful.
Chen Luo thought of Wang Xi again.
The words of the flatterers are so sincere and nice.
If she were here, she would definitely be able to tell a thing that everyone knew well, like brocade, so that he would not feel embarrassed, but also coax him to be happy.
This may be a skill only for a woman from a merchant background.
After all, it is not so simple to coax money from other people's pockets into their pockets.
Thinking about it this way, it may be a good thing for the second aunt and grandmother of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion to marry into the Wang family.
At least the child born is lively and cheerful, likable, not as contrived and boring as the rest of the Chang family.
Chen Luo nodded and entered the Zhenguo Mansion.
*
Within a few days, the news of Chen Jue spread.
When Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou talked about this matter quietly, Mrs. Tai asked Mrs. Hou in disbelief: "Did Zhenguo Gong really beat Chen Luo?" He is nineteen years old this year, and he will marry a daughter-in-law soon. This also hurts the dignity of the child too much! ”
"Not really!" Mrs. Hou was also quite emotional, and sighed, "It is said that the palace has been alarmed." The queen sent her powerful father-in-law to bring people from the hospital to the follow-up treatment, and the emperor also called the prince of Zhenguo to go to the study for questioning. You said that Chen Jue is a good girl, why don't you know how to calm things?
"Don't say that it was the emperor's intention to send Aunt Ding to Chengzhou, there are Japanese criminals over there, and the emperor intends to promote him for meritorious service, and it has nothing to do with Chen Luo, even if this matter is Chen Luo's hands and feet behind his back, you are a big man, or a martial arts background, when he first said that he was a good man, Zhenguo Gong also swore that he was a good man, and when you pacified the Japanese Kou, who else dared to say that you are not?
"Why can't you let your daughter-in-law go back to her parents' house to make trouble with her brother?
"She's not as good as she was when she was a child!
"Over the years, I have lived more and more back!"
"Therefore, the eldest daughter who lost her mother cannot be married." Mrs. Tai shook her head when she heard this, "It's not easy to discipline the eldest princess, let alone others." ”
Saying that, Mrs. Tai asked with concern, "Then how is Chen Luo now?" Was he taken to the palace by the queen? Or recuperate at home? Didn't the third child in the second room accept his love, let the boss and the third child take some supplements to take a look.
"It's best for the fourth child to go along.
"He's not young, and he's about to get married, if only Chen Luo could help recommend an errand.
"There is no hope on the side of Xiangyangbo, I heard that their wife wanted their fourth son to go to Jinwuwei, but was politely rejected by the military department. It is said that the guards will use soldiers, and the royal guards will not enter during this time. We'll have to wait until the war settles down.
"But I think this kind of thing is like queuing, and it's better to say it in advance than to find someone to settle it temporarily.
"You have to be mindful too."
Seeing that Mrs. Tai cared about her son, Mrs. Hou was naturally in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Chen Luo is recuperating in the mansion!" I've written down everything you said, so I'll arrange it. ”
Mrs. Tai nodded, until Wang Xi came to greet her, she was still talking about it: "This second marriage is not as good as the original match, let alone the marriage." Looking at Chen Luo, you know that what a good child he is, he doesn't like it as a father, and he can't help it as a mother. If the emperor's uncle doesn't take care of it more, where will there be a way to live! ”
Shi Zhu disagreed, and said: "If I have an uncle who is the emperor to take care of me, I would rather be beaten by my father every day." You see, as soon as the Duke of Zhenguo made a move, Chen Luo was meritless and meritless, and he was awarded the official title of the Governor of the Chinese Army. ”
Don't talk about Wang Xi, even Mrs. Tai, I don't like the tone of her speech, I frowned and said, "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about?" Who wants to have a rift with their father? Who wants to be watched as a joke like this? It's okay to say this at home, but don't say it in front of outsiders. Otherwise, people will think that you are too hard-hearted, which is not a good thing. ”
Shi Zhu said "I know" in his mouth, but his expression was perfunctory, obviously he didn't take Mrs. Tai's words to heart, and he couldn't see that he had stood in the snow with Chen Luo's quiver.
Then she asked about herself a little impatiently: "Princess Fuyang said that she came to the house on June 24 as a guest, and the banquet in this house is going to be prepared, right?" ”
Shi Zhu thought it would be easy to move into Liuyin Garden, but she didn't expect that Wang Xi didn't say a word, but she forcibly stopped her at the door.
Mrs. Tai couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
Wang Xi didn't see it.
If Mrs. Tai dared to mention to her about borrowing the Willow Garden, she would dare to propose to move out.
Of course, even if she moves out, Shi Zhu wants to live in it, but I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble.
In Mrs. Tai's opinion, the sisters in the family are in difficulty, you lend me a dress to wear, and I will lend you a piece of jewelry to wear, which is a very natural exchange between sisters. But since Mama Shi sighed in her ear from time to time that Shi Zhu was not as filial and considerate as Wang Xi, she didn't want to care about Shi Zhu's affairs a little.
She said: "Or, I will have someone clean the backyard of the Shi Mansion, where you entertain Princess Fuyang?" Not to mention the spaciousness over there, there are no elders yet, which is more convenient! ”
Shi Zhuqi didn't answer for a long time.
The Shi Mansion is indeed more spacious than the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, and no one has taken care of it. But it is impossible to clean up there without a hundred servants working for three or five days, and Shifu is in Huanghuafang, where Zhengwenmen is, and then go out, it is the eastern suburbs of the city, and there are some farmland next to it, and the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion is one in the west and one in the east, like Fang Cheng went to the countryside.
Can it be the same?
Her face was ugly, and her eyes were fixed on Mrs. Hou.
Mrs. Hou just didn't see it.
Miss Pan stood up unexpectedly.
She said shyly: "Why don't you entertain Princess Fuyang in the Spring Shade Garden?" ”
"And where do you live?" Mrs. Hou lost her voice.
Miss Pan said with a smile: "When I disturbed my aunt and Mrs. Tai here for so long, I discussed it with my brother, and I was looking at houses everywhere these days, and if we found a suitable one, we would move out and live for a few days, so that we could be a host, and invite my aunt, Mrs. Tai and a few cousins to be guests and have a cup of tea." ”
This is the way relatives get along!
Wang Xi secretly gave Miss Pan a thumbs up in his heart.
Mrs. Hou was full of reluctance.
Mrs. Tai also felt that Shi Zhu was too aggressive.
Shi Zhu couldn't say anything, and glared at Miss Pan with his eyes, very cruel.
Wang Xi secretly laughed, and simply became a generous person, and said with a smile: "When Miss Pan said this, she reminded me. I think, Miss Pan, don't be in a hurry to move, your brother wants to rent a house outside, most likely to find you a place to get out of the cabinet. Last time I heard Mrs. Hou say that the wedding date between Miss Pan and the Liu family is scheduled for next year, so there is no need to rush at this time.
"I think I'll move to Willow Garden ahead of schedule.
"Although the willow shade garden has not been repaired yet, it can be used to live in one powder. It's the Qingxue Garden, which is close to the main house, and I just need to clean it when I move out. In my opinion, it is more convenient for me to move to Willow Shade Garden. lest everybody have to move places! ”
The crowd pondered in their hearts.
This is certainly for the best.
Only one Wang Xi can solve all the problems.
Mrs. Tai was afraid that Shi Zhu would not agree, so she hurriedly said: "I think this is good!" ”
Mrs. Hou also doesn't want Miss Pan to move out with a reputation for giving people a place, how will she, as an aunt, see her mother's family in the future?
"It's just that I wronged Miss Wang Jiabiao!" She said very sincerely, "If you lack anything over there, just tell me, and I'll help you buy it!" ”
Wang Xi nodded with a smile, and received praise from all over the Yongcheng Marquis' Mansion.
But Bai Guo still felt uncomfortable, returned to Qingxue Garden, looked at the courtyard that was well organized by them, lush with vegetation and elegant furnishings, and said unwillingly: "Shall we move out like this?" ”
"Of course not!" Wang Xi smiled, "We are going to move, and our own things must be moved!" ”
Bai Guo understood and smiled.
The kitchen was built by them, the study was tidied up by them, and now they are leaving, how can they restore the place to others!
Without these, Princess Fuyang's people are here, I'm afraid they don't even know where to set up a tea room, right?
The white fruits happily went to pack their things.
Wang Xi was thinking, Chen Luo is now recuperating at home, what should she send?
