"What the master said is reasonable, but we have left the capital, where can we go?" Although Aunt Su was afraid of losing her life, she also had her own careful thoughts, "Master, look at the girls in our family, even Chu Mengying has tried every means to enter the door of the palace, and Sister Shan is worse than her, if we leave the capital, what should we do if the girl who has not left the pavilion says that she is close?" ”

"Say kiss? Do you still want to say kiss at this time? Who to talk to! My life is gone, and I can still take care of this? If you want to stay, I'll go! Chu Cailiang shook off Aunt Su's hand and strode towards the bedroom.

Aunt Su pursed her lips and thought about it, but it was the same thing. The status of the Chu family has taken a sharp turn now, not only has it become white, but it has also offended Mrs. Hanmei, Chu Junlan and Chu Mengying can't be counted on, and her sister Shan has nothing to say if she stays.

"Don't be angry, the concubine is with you!" Aunt Su caught up with Chu Cailiang and hesitated: "But let's go, in case Mrs. Hanmei investigates Aunt Lu's affairs......"

"Anyway, Chu Huating is here. If Mrs. Hanmei wants to find him, she will look for him. ”

Chu Cailiang began to rummage through the cabinets and pack up the gold and silver.

Aunt Su gasped when she heard this: "That's your eldest son!" ”

"If the heart is not towards me, what is the use of the eldest son! Do you still have time to nag here? Don't clean up yet! ”

Aunt Su nodded blankly, but there was a chill in her heart.

Although she doesn't like Chu Huating, Chu Huating's life and death have nothing to do with her. But Chu Huating is the eldest son of the old man in the end.

At the critical moment, even his own son can say that he doesn't care about it, and he will leave the mess to Chu Huating to deal with alone, is this Chu Cailiang......

When the Chu family built a spiritual shed, Chu Huating received a return from his subordinates.

"The eldest young master, the master, Aunt Su, and the two girls are taking a few subordinates to coat the car at the side door!"

Chu Huating was dressed in white, standing under the corridor outside the mourning hall, and looked at Chu Junlan beside him with a complicated face when he heard this.

Chu Junlan frowned suspiciously: "At this time, where can the master go?" Or with my aunts and ladies. ”

Liang Hui hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Miss Huisan, the master and Aunt Su both carry cage baggage. ”

Chu Huating's face changed, and he hurriedly chased in the direction of the side door.

At this time, all the servants and maids in the courtyard understood that Chu Cailiang was preparing to escape!

But anyone who has some brains has guessed that Aunt Lu is the existence of Mrs. Hanmei's righteous daughter, and now that she has died in an accident, Chu Cailiang is afraid that Mrs. Hanmei will blame her!

But as a father, when he was in trouble, he took his little wife and concubine to leave, but he threw the mess to his eldest son, isn't this too unreasonable?

When Chu Huating, Chu Junlan, Liang Hui and others chased out the side door, they heard a loud "Drive!" ”

The wheels were rolling, and two mule carts were rushing out of the alley, the body was bumpy, and the wind moved the curtain, and the faces of Chu Cailiang and Aunt Su could be seen looking back.

Chu Cailiang had no reluctance on his face, and there was only the ease of escaping.

The afterglow of the setting sun slowly fell into the sky, and the mule cart turned the alley and completely disappeared from sight, and the air was filled with the choking smell of burning paper.

Chu Huating's hand hanging by his side gradually clenched, and when he turned his head, he couldn't help but sigh lightly when he saw the servants and maids of the Chu family led by Liang Hui behind him who were all very dazed.

"Father...... The old man seems to have something important to do. ”

Seeing that Chu Huating was still excusing Chu Cailiang at this time, there were tears falling from the shallow eye sockets.

"What is there to be busy with, the master is obviously afraid that Mrs. Hanmei will be held accountable and throw the mess to the eldest young master, and his own Wang Ba's neck shrank, and he ran away with his hand!"

"It's called Daddy's?"

"These days, the old man is getting more and more disagreeable!"

……

The servants and maids whispered, and they were all a little indignant.

But when they met Chu Junlan's gaze, they couldn't help but stop talking.

"All go back and do their jobs." Chu Junlan said in a deep voice, "With the eldest young master here, the family can't be dispersed." Aunt Lu's funeral still has to be done, and there will be people who pay tribute and condolences during the period, and there will be people who burn paper in front of the spirit to answer the ceremony. ”

"Yes." Chu Junlan has a deep sense of authority, and her servants and maids obediently follow it.

However, unlike Chu Junlan's expectation, Lu Xiangxiang's death not only scared away Chu Cailiang's family, but even none of the people who flocked to her in the capital came to mourn.

It is rumored that Mrs. Hanmei loves Lu Xiangxiang as a righteous daughter, but until Lu Xiangxiang is buried, no one in Mrs. Hanmei's house has ever appeared.

As Lu Xiangxiang said, she became an outcast and was completely forgotten by Mrs. Hanmei.

Chu Junlan left the Chu family, Lu Xiangxiang could no longer play the role of surveillance, and even if she died, Mrs. Hanmei didn't bother to look at her again.

In the final analysis, even if Lu Xiangxiang gains face again, in the end, she is from a dusty background, and Mrs. Hanmei just values her talent and wants to use her.

On the contrary, it was Lu Xiangxiang's death, which caused irrelevant people to sigh after dinner.

"I can't imagine that a generation of famous actors will die like this, such a beautiful scenery before his death, but so desolate after his death, and his life is thin." Xu shook his head and sighed, took a bite of the fruit brought by Chu Junlan, and asked, "What happened to the Chu family now?" ”

"Master Chu was afraid that Mrs. Hanmei would blame him, so he took his favorite concubine and concubine and took away all the gold and silver in the family, and he didn't know where he went." Chu Junlan smiled bitterly, "Now that the Chu family is scattered, my eldest brother is one person to support the courtyard, and only the people who watch the courtyard are left in the family, and the redundant servants and maids are also dismissed." ”

Xu Shi frowned when he heard this, shook his head and said, "This is also a father?" He is not responsible for his own affairs, but he leaves the danger to his son! Mrs. Hanmei, who was at a loss, didn't take Lu Xiangxiang in her eyes, otherwise wouldn't it be an innocent person? ”

"yes. This is also that people are not as good as heaven, God has eyes. Chu Junlan smiled helplessly.

Xu said: "In any case, it was your previous home, the eldest prince of Chu and you are the same mother, and we have a relationship with our family, maybe it was still a family five hundred years ago, you can go back and see more when you have nothing to do, don't make the eldest prince of Chu embarrassed." ”

Xu is really a very gentle and kind woman.

Chu Junlan smiled and held Xu's arm and said, "Mother, in fact, my daughter really has something she wants to discuss with you this time." ”

"Oh? What's up? ”

"That's the case, when my biological mother was alive, there was a handkerchief sex, because the two were good, they agreed to get married in the future and be the sons and daughters, the two of them are friends, no matter who is the mother-in-law, they will not treat each other's daughters badly."

"Oh? That's a good thing. Xu nodded in understanding, he had such a handkerchief handkerchief, but after getting married, many vows could not be fulfilled due to reality.

Chu Junlan said with a smile: "My biological mother and that aunt exchanged betrothal tokens, but you also know that my biological mother later came to serve by Concubine Shugui, and the time when she was released from the palace was a little later, my aunt got married early, and her only daughter was three years older than my eldest brother." However, because the engagement has been exchanged, the other party has never said goodbye. ”

Chu Junlan got up and brought the teapot to refill the tea for the Xu family, and said, "My aunt's husband's family name is Xiang, and he died of illness in his early years. Miss Xiang has been waiting for my eldest brother, who would have thought that my aunt also died of illness three years ago, and Miss Xiang kept filial piety for another three years. Now that Miss Xiang is twenty-one years old, and the period of filial piety has expired, she has written to inform my eldest brother that she has brought tokens to Beijing and wants to fulfill the marriage contract with my eldest brother. ”

"I think, now that the Chu family has no elders, only my eldest brother is left, that Miss Xiang is here to fulfill the marriage contract, if you go to the capital and live directly in the Chu family, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate. If she is allowed to go to the guest house, I feel a little sorry for my eldest brother as a younger sister. I want to discuss with my mother, when Miss Xiang comes to Beijing, can she stay in our house temporarily? ”

"yes, that's a good thing." Xu smiled and nodded.

It is true that the Chu family is now down, but she knows that Chu Huating is a malleable talent, completely different from other Chu family members, and even if it is in the face of Chu Junlan, she is very willing to help the Chu family make this face.

"You don't have to be embarrassed about this, just arrange the guest house, and choose the best utensils to use, by the way, you can discuss with the eldest prince of Chu, if you don't dislike it, when it comes to the happy event, you can let the bride go out from our house, and you can also have a lively time."

Chu Junlan had this intention, but he didn't want her to open her mouth before she could ask, and the Xu family had already opened her mouth first.

"Mother, you're so nice." Chu Junlan shook his arm around Xu's arm movingly, "It's just that I'm afraid that it will trouble our family." ”

"Oh, afraid of something? It's too late to have a chance to be lively and lively, and there are so many people to do it, so it doesn't bother me anything. I'm in charge of this, and that's it. ”

"Thank you, mother!" Chu Junlan got up and happily saluted the Xu family.

"Silly girl, your own girls, why are you so polite? Although the emperor opened his golden mouth, we became mother and daughter, but my mother is not an unreasonable person, and she will not let you ignore your brother. You have to work hard about this, tell me everything you want, and I will ask your sister-in-law to go back and help you Zhang Luo. ”

"Hey." Chu Junlan leaned on Xu's shoulder, her heart was soft as if she had fallen into such a reasonable mother covered with honey cotton wool, and such a family that could never leave her in times of crisis, it was really a gift from God to her, and it was worth cherishing.

Five days later, Chu Junlan brought a peerless beauty wearing a goose-yellow jacket, a bean-green eight-panel skirt, and a double flat bun to Chunhui Garden.

"Sister Xiang, this is the old lady's residence, and now the eldest lady, the prince and the third lady are all waiting for you to come."

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the third aunt and Chu Lingxi had already come out of the courtyard.

As soon as the two sides looked at each other, the third aunt and Chu Lingxi both stopped in a daze.

The woman standing with Chu Junlan has a willow waist, with oblique phoenix eyes, red cherry lips, and a little beauty mole between her eyebrows, but although she is born with charming bones, her body is full of bookishness, her eyes are warm and clear, and her expression is shy and innocent.

"Oops, it's down, it's down." The third aunt hurriedly greeted her, glanced at Chu Junlan, and said with a smile, "I thought that Sister Lan was a Peugeot that I had never seen before, but I didn't expect to see a more Peugeot today." ”

Chu Junlan grinned: "That's natural, Sister Xiang is my future sister-in-law." Sister Xiang, this is the third aunt, this is Sister Lingxi. ”

"Yixin has seen the third wife and Miss Lingxi." Lu Xiangxiang, now renamed Xiang Yixin, has been blessed in a regular manner. Her voice is a little small, timid and a little hoarse, and listening to it makes people feel that she is gentle and deferential.

Before coming, she specially begged Chu Junlan for a pair of medicines, ruined her previous good voice, and never wanted the singing voice that once moved the capital.

"Come in, the family is waiting."

The third aunt took Xiang Yixin's hand and entered the door.

Chu Junlan and Chu Lingxi held hands and followed behind.

Looking at the thin back, Chu Junlan sighed.

She was originally a little worried that she would show her feet, but now it seems that her worries are superfluous, Xiang Yixin has completely abandoned her past self, thanks to Xiao Xu's blessing, now she has a new identity, she has gotten rid of her slave status, and she is the daughter of a serious farming family.

In front of Chu Junlan, the whole family of the Maoguo Mansion was very enthusiastic about Xiang Yixin, placed her in the guest house, and did not forget to let Chu Junlan choose two big maids and two grandmothers to serve closely.

The old lady also smiled and said: "Our family is going to have a happy event again, this is a great thing, our family is also full of joy, the Chu family sent an aunt before, and now you can also use this happy event to get rid of bad luck, the second daughter-in-law, you have to do it carefully." ”

"Mother rest assured, daughter-in-law will be able to give birth."

Xu agreed, and when he turned around, he took his daughter-in-law to Zhang Luo together.

Xiao Xu asked to see Chu Junlan in the afternoon of this day and handed her a house deed and land deed.

"What does that mean?"

"My uncle got married, I think, after all, the Chu family's house has had a funeral, and it is a little unlucky, and that is where you lived with Master Chu's family in the past, and the main house is where Master Chu and their families lived, not to mention my uncle, I also feel panicked in my heart."

Xiao Xu put down the tea bowl and raised his eyes to look at Chu Junlan gently.

"This is a second house next to Shichahai, I specially asked someone to re-powder, all the furnishings have been completed, I want to give it to my uncle as a gift, he can do happy events here, and start a new life here from now on, no longer have to be involved with the Chu family in the past."

Chu Junlan looked at the title deed and the house deed, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

She and Xiao Xu thought of going together, and she didn't want Chu Huating to continue to live in the Chu family, after all, the Chu family didn't have any good memories at all, and she wanted her eldest brother to start a new life.

But Mi Zhu in the capital, she tossed for almost a year, and she didn't seriously save any family funds, but she couldn't buy a new home for Chu Huating.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xu had quietly helped her with this matter.

When Chu Junlan was silent, Xiao Xu stretched out his arm over the table and held her hand a little nervously, "I want to give it directly to my uncle, but my uncle will definitely not agree, so it's better for you to come forward." Even if this is a wedding gift for him together, okay? ”
