Chapter 17: Does Your Face Hurt?
Chu Cailiang knew what Aunt Wang was going to say, so he waved his hand to stop her.
"Do what I tell you to do. Did the thing come back? ”
Facing Chu Cailiang's cold and warning eyes, Aunt Wang seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on her head, and she suddenly sobered up.
Even if the cards are in her hands, the head of the family is still Chu Cailiang. Chu Cailiang is willing to trust her, she has the right, if Chu Cailiang is disgusted with her, she will have nothing!
"Yes, the concubine understands that the concubine has been sent. The box was heavy, the delay on the road was longer, and the concubine walked lightly and quickly, arriving early. As he spoke, he waved his hand behind his back.
The eldest girl Hongfen immediately understood, quietly retreated, and hurried back to arrange for someone to carry the box.
Chu Cailiang was satisfied, and looked at Chu Junlan with a smile: "You can count the things when they arrive." ”
"Yes." Chu Junlan smiled and nodded, invited everyone to sit down, and asked Zi Yan and Lu Yi to prepare tea.
After a short time, two large camphor wooden boxes were sent over, along with the holding box containing the night pearl.
Chu Mengying clutched the handkerchief tightly, her face expressionless, and she stared at Chu Junlan deadly.
Aunt Wang lowered her eyes to hide her expression, but the rapid rise and fall of her chest could see that she was not calm.
Chu Junlan took out the gift list written on the big red paper from his arms and unfolded it.
The sound of the paper rattling made everyone's eyes focus on her hand. Only then did everyone remember that there should indeed be a gift list when the box was moved, but it was only because they were blinded by the treasure and forgot about this stubble.
Smiling slightly, Chu Junlan handed the gift list to Chu Cailiang: "Father, please supervise and let them order a little." ”
Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang tensed their bodies all of a sudden.
Chu Huazhang said angrily: "What do you mean by this!" Can my mother still be greedy for your things! ”
"The fourth brother's words are wrong," Chu Junlan explained gently, "Now that the calculation is clear, it is precisely to make it clear in person, so as not to rely on my aunt if there are any discrepancies in the future." I'm here for my aunt's innocence, not for suspicion. ”
"Fart! You ......"
"No messing around!" Chu Cailiang reprimanded, "Your books have been read into the dog's belly!" Can you say such pickled words? ”
Chu Huazhang's face turned purple, but he didn't dare to fight again, so he had to shut up.
Chu Cailiang handed the gift list to his confidant Liang Hui behind him.
Liang Hui immediately called someone to come and took the contents of the box one by one in public.
When he read "a hundred-year-old wild mountain ginseng and a snow lotus branch in the Western Regions", Chu Cailiang and Aunt Wang both looked at Chu Junlan in amazement.
Chu Junlan said innocently: "Oh, I didn't expect that there were all the medicinal materials I wanted in the box." What an oversight. But it's okay in this way, lest I go to the eldest princess to ask for money again, and people will misunderstand that I am greedy for ink. ”
She did it on purpose!
Chu Cailiang has never suffered this kind of loss in his own family for many years, but it was still done by Chu Junlan, who was weak and docile in the past, and while he was angry, he sighed a little at the growth of his daughter-in-law.
With such means, when you come to the palace of Gongding in the future, you will definitely be able to do something. If his daughter becomes the future princess of Gongding, it will be of greater benefit to him and the Chu family!
As soon as Chu Cailiang thought of this, the anger of being teased disappeared, and he paid more attention to Chu Junlan.
But Aunt Wang almost vomited blood in anger at this time!
At this time, I said that there was a box of medicinal herbs, what did I do earlier! Now that the boxes have been sent back, it is impossible to carry them back, she has completely fallen for this little slut's trick!
"Master, it's all checked, there is a box of Dongzhu missing, a string of agate Buddha beads, a set of ruby heads, a pair of jade bracelets, and thirty taels of gold ingots." Liang Hui held the gift list to Chu Cailiang.
Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows and showed a playful smile.
Although she didn't say anything, Chu Cailiang felt like she had been slapped in the face.
"Yuqing! What about these things! Chu Cailiang was indignant.
Aunt Wang was also surprised, she hadn't touched the things in the box: "This, master......"
Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang's faces turned from red to white, and they were almost smoked by Chu Junlan's anger just now, but at this time, they only felt like falling into an ice cave, and they were as ashamed as if they had been stripped of their clothes on the street.
Chu Mengying was clever and immediately said, "Did you put it in the warehouse before, something was placed elsewhere, and I forgot to take it out." ”
Aunt Wang's eyes rolled and she understood, and immediately nodded: "It's possible." ”
turned around and angrily scolded Hongfen and the others, "You dogs! How to be an errand! I can miss it when I go and get something! Don't pick it up yet! ”
Hongfen and the others immediately responded, but their faces were full of embarrassment, because there were no such things in the warehouse at all.
Chu Mengying said generally: "It's better for my daughter to supervise it." ”
She hurriedly took Hongfen and the others out.
Chu Cailiang has been an official for many years, where can he not see this? My chest was stuffy when I was angry, and I felt that my face was about to be lost!
How could his children do such a thing?
No, his species is naturally good, and now that there is such a humiliating farce, it must be the improper teaching of the Wang family!
"Don't just stare at the house, teach Sister Ying and Brother Zhang more carefully!"
Although there were not many words, but being reprimanded like this in front of Chu Junlan and the rest of the subordinates, Aunt Wang still felt disgraced, and forced a smile to squeeze out a smile, "Yes, the concubine must be more careful." The old man was angry, this time it should be an accident. ”
Chu Cailiang didn't want to be rumored that his children's hands and feet were not clean, so he could only suppress his anger.
After a while, Chu Mengying really brought people back with all the things.
Chu Junlan took the gift list back into his arms, ordered someone to cover the box, and said with a smile: "It's a big night, it's really hard aunt." ”
Aunt Wang's motherly rib fan hurt, but she had to be forced to be easy-going, "It's okay, the third lady is too polite." ”
Chu Cailiang now only felt that Chu Junlan's eyes were not right when he looked at him, and as a father, he was disgraced, glared at Chu Huazhang and Chu Mengying, and walked away.
Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang were worried about falling out of favor, so they hurriedly chased out to explain.
Aunt Wang also felt bored, and said goodbye with a smile.
Chu Junlan sent her to the door, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Auntie, does your face hurt?" ”
Aunt Wang turned her head abruptly and met her mocking gaze, "You ......"
"Auntie, don't worry, I will play slowly with you." Chu Junlan smiled more and more gently, "Killing is not the most serious punishment. I will take away everything you value, aren't you satisfied with your father's favor and trust? Aren't you proud that you have a pair of filial children? There's still a long way to go. ”
Aunt Wang gritted her silver teeth and almost fled.
Zi Yan finally tasted what it was like to sleep with gold and silver treasures, and she was really satisfied from body to heart.
Early the next morning, Chu Junlan went to greet the old lady, and without waiting for the rest of the people to arrive, he went out alone to the eldest princess's mansion.
And the gold and silver treasures entered Aunt Wang's house, and before they could cover the heat, they were ordered to send them back, and the whole family knew the news. The old lady was in a particularly good mood, and Aunt Sun and Aunt Su also felt very happy. Chu Mengying was squeezed by Chu Yunjiao and Chu Peishan, and she couldn't find a crack to drill.
The Eldest Princess's Mansion.
Chu Junlan sat sideways on the edge of the stepping bed, gradually diagnosing the pulse in the middle of the coma, and raised a shallow arc on the side of his lips.
"Eldest princess, Ye Gongzi still needs to apply needles today."
