Chapter 367: Stratagem
Chu Huating frowned: "That's your future husband's family, as a woman, relying on her husband's family, there is nothing wrong, but what you said is also right, if it really gets to the point of going to court, I don't know how anyone behind it will make your rumors." ”
"Yes, although I've never been afraid of what people say, I don't like the feeling of being led by the nose like this."
"But what are you going to do next?" Chu Huating frowned and said, "This matter is really difficult to do, can we go to find the shelter of Shuntianfu?" ”
Chu Junlan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and shook his head, "No, Lord Chen is very shrewd, this time he is willing to come to deal with the aftermath is also to give the Gongding Palace a face, and then he can also get benefits from it, otherwise he should not be willing to get involved in this kind of thing, offending the Gyeonggi camp is to offend the military generals faction, and the army cutting and protecting the army are now making trouble." ”
Chu Huating's brows were furrowed to kill flies, he frowned and pondered for a moment, and asked in a deep voice: "I remember, last time you asked Yi Tsukazai about the details of our mother's affairs back then?" ”
"Yes," Chu Junlan bowed slightly, his apricot eyes narrowed slightly, "What does the eldest brother mean?" ”
Chu Huating whispered a few words in Chu Junlan's ear.
Chu Junlan nodded hesitantly, "The method that the eldest brother said is excellent, but this matter involves a wide range of things, and I still need to think about it." ”
Chu Huating moved his lips, he wanted to remind her that life was much more important than others, and besides, the ability of the Maoguo Mansion was great, and it would not be affected by her.
But when the words came to his mouth, he finally swallowed it, and only bowed his head and said, "Okay." ”
"Big brother, I'll go back to the Maoguo Mansion first."
"I'll send you."
"No need, what else do you want to give? Go and rest, I scared my sister-in-law a lot yesterday. ”
Chu Junlan said goodbye to Chu Huating, went to lead the horse, and went straight back to the Maoguo Mansion.
Chu Huating stood in front of the door for a long time before returning to the house worriedly.
When he arrived at the cross-courtyard, he saw Chu Huayun helping to carry Aunt Sun's coffin onto the mule cart, and hurriedly walked over and asked with concern: "Sixth brother, are you going to leave today?" ”
Chu Huayun's face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and when he heard Chu Huating's voice, he turned his head sluggishly, and nodded after thinking about it: "Yes, big brother, thank you very much." ”
Chu Huating frowned and said, "Sixth brother, your current state is not good. If you want to help the soul return to your hometown, it is best to find someone you can rely on to escort you. ”
He really wanted Yuan Kanghu and others to escort Chu Huayun, but Yuan Kanghu and several guards were injured, so it was really difficult to work them.
Chu Huayun smiled: "Big brother, after I go and talk to Shangfeng, I will ask Shangfeng to allow my brothers to take vacations." ”
Chu Huating really didn't know that Chu Huayun would nod at the summit, but he could see Chu Huayun's stubbornness, so he had to nod and say, "Okay." He turned around and told Baole to take out fifty taels of silver, and stuffed it into Chu Huayun's arms.
"These are for you to spend on the road."
"No, big brother, I can't take your money!" Chu Huayun hurriedly refused, and his pale face, which was originally boiled, also turned red.
"I ...... My mother hurt you blind, and once set fire to the third sister to burn to death, even this time, she brought people to your house to burn and loot.
"She died, although I am sad, but I also know that she has actually done a lot of bad things, you are willing to let my mother stop at your house for one night, I am already very grateful, how can I take your money now?"
"You are my younger brother, and now that such a big incident has happened to your aunt, how can I ignore it as a brother? Although we were born to the same father, we are both surnamed Chu, if you refuse, you will be separated from your eldest brother. Chu Huating forcefully stuffed the silver ticket into Chu Huayun's arms again.
Chu Huayun brought several brothers from the 3,000 battalions who had been watching from the sidelines, and they understood the affairs of the Chu family, and they were also very moved at this time: "Mr. General, the eldest prince of Chu is a good intention, and besides, you are brothers, why do you want to refuse?" ”
"Yes, as long as your brothers move around more and be more fragrant in the future, are you afraid that you will not have a chance to repay in the future?"
……
After several people persuaded him, Chu Huayun finally nodded, put the silver ticket in his hand, and saluted Chu Huayun.
"Big brother, thank you, we're on our way."
Chu Huating also returned the salute: "Remember to come home when you come back." ”
"Yes, big brother."
Chu Huayun and a few people drove the carriage out of the Chu family.
Chu Huating stood in front of the door, looked at Chu Huayun's back and shook his head, thinking about the difficulties that Chu Junlan might encounter, he sighed heavily.
Chu Junlan returned to the Maoguo Mansion this time, and after going to see the Xu family, he went back to the bedroom.
Zi Yan brought the refreshments, and originally wanted to laugh with Chu Junlan as usual, but it can be seen that Chu Junlan is sitting cross-legged on the window ondol, and it is not as relaxed as usual, and the whole person seems to be tense, so he is a little worried.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Junlan shook his head, realizing that his emotions were wrong, which might have frightened Zi Yan, so he smiled at her comfortingly: "It's okay, I'm thinking about something." ”
Zi Yan nodded, hurriedly stepped aside, quietly doing needlework, and did not disturb Chu Junlan.
While Chu Junlan was thinking about the feasibility of Chu Huating's idea and what the consequences would bring, time was also passing rapidly.
Zi Yan didn't dare to disturb Chu Junlan, so lunch was brought in, and it was brought out as it was.
In the afternoon, Xu asked Mama Guo to send snacks, but Chu Junlan didn't eat it.
When it was time for dinner, a casserole of black chicken soup was brought from the kitchen.
Xu said with a smile: "The autumn night is cold, and Sister Lan also eats some chicken soup to be good for your body." "Let the big girl Suqin send the chicken soup to Chu Junlan.
But Suqin found that Chu Junlan didn't say that the afternoon snacks were useless, and he didn't even eat lunch, how did the chicken soup be served and how was it brought back.
Only then did Xu know that Chu Junlan didn't go out today, and locked himself in his room without eating or drinking all day.
On weekdays, Chu Junlan is busy with business, and the Xu family also knows that Chu Junlan has his own ideas about everything, so he will not control it too much, so he ignores today's situation without thinking about it.
Xu hurriedly called Mama Guo: "You go to Sister Lan's house and call Ziyan over quietly, I have something to ask her, be careful not to let Sister Lan know." ”
"Hey." Mama Guo agreed and went quietly.
After a while, Zi Yan followed Mama Guo into the door, knelt down and saluted, "The maid has seen Mrs. Shizi." ”
Xu Shi calmed his face and said, "Let me ask you, your girl doesn't eat or drink all day, why don't you know how to go back and forth?" ”
Zi Yan lowered her head and shrunk her body, but she still said bluntly: "Mrs. Hui Shizi, the maid has never seen the girl so worried, it seems that she has encountered some great difficulties, the girl said that she is thinking about something, and she has not come up with a result, so the maid does not dare to disturb." ”
Xu Shi frowned and reprimanded: "There is such a thing, why don't you come and tell me?" ”
"What's the matter, it's so angry with a little girl?" As soon as Chu Hua entered the house, he saw Xu reprimanding Chu Junlan's maid fiercely.
