Chapter 303: A Conversation Between Mother and Son
She is dressed very noble today, the gold and silver thread is wrongly embroidered with bats and thousands of grandchildren pattern cloud satin clothes, and there is a string of round and lustrous southern pearls hanging around her neck, this string of southern pearls is more round and large than those of the queen mother in the palace, and her position as an old lady boasts that she does not have to be worse than the queen mother Su.
Her sitting posture was still dignified and noble, her waist was very straight, her shoulders were pulled back, her neck was slender, her hands were placed on the armrests of the chair, and she looked out of the hazy door with a dazed look.
And Chu Shoufu put his hands in his sleeve pockets, as if he was squatting on the street to watch people play chess, his back was slightly hunched, his shoulders were bent down, and the corners of his eyebrows were drooping, but the light under his eyes was blazing, and he was also looking out, but in that kind of light, no matter what kind of charm there was outside, he couldn't hide it.
"Why do you want to do this to your mother? I raised you and made you, why are you so unfilial? ”
In the end, it was the old lady who spoke first, full of resentment.
"Unfilial?" Chu Shoufu looked at her sideways, "Over the years, isn't my son filial enough?" What does the mother say, what does the son do, all these years, you have to be windy, rain and rain, there are no less than ten people under the door every day, your honor, your wealth, which one lacks you? ”
The old lady sneered, "But none of these were given by you." ”
"It wasn't given by the son, but by whom? Do you think that the people outside and the people in the house all respect you for your seniority? Chu Shoufu said lightly.
"You're taking revenge on your mother, there's no son like you." The old lady was furious.
Chu Shoufu shook his head, "To take revenge on you, I won't wait until now." ”
"Then why are you doing this?" The old lady looked at him and shook her head in disappointment, "Do you know that if you do this, our Chu family will completely lose its respected position, what is the difference between other families?" It may not even be as good as others, you have ruined the foundation of my Chu family. ”
"Inheritance? And whether it is the foundation or not, I will ask my mother, is the foundation important, or the lives of the people in the mansion are important? Chu Shoufu asked.
Seeing that he was willing to speak from the bottom of his heart, Mrs. Tai straightened her attitude and said: "The foundation is important, and life is also important, but there is no conflict between the two, if you stabilize the foundation, no one will be able to touch the lives of my Chu family, but if you do this today, it is difficult to guarantee that my Chu family will be bullied." ”
"Do you really think of yourself as the Emperor of the Earth?" Chu Shoufu sighed softly, "You have smelled the fragrance of the coffin, and you are still so old-fashioned, this world is not surnamed Chu, how many people have the Chu family offended over the years?" Even if the Son of Heaven can tolerate it, if I stretch my feet in the future, how many heads will the Chu family have to lose to pay it off? ”
The old lady said hurriedly: "Therefore, the old body asked you to promote more people in the clan, as long as the power is deep-rooted enough, even if I die and you die, this Chu family will not have no successor." ”
"Promotion?" Chu Shoufu's voice was full of mockery, "Are you talking about your grandsons, great-grandchildren?" The Chu family has indeed produced a lot of talents, but it is by no means those under your knees, you connive at them to be lawless, and they only know nonsense all day long, is there a person who can be entrusted with heavy responsibilities? I am the first assistant of the dynasty, the ups and downs of this officialdom, I have seen a lot, the rise and fall of this family, I have also witnessed it with my own eyes, if the Chu family does not know how to avoid evil, converge the edge, sooner or later will be uprooted, the world's affairs, are prosperous and must decline, nothing is long-lasting, at your age, if you can't even see through this point, these years in Yuemei Nunnery, you have also read so many Buddhist scriptures in vain. ”
After he finished speaking, he stood up, "Rest early." ”
The old lady immediately stood up and said sharply: "You say so many high-sounding words, and you can't hide your true purpose, you are just because of that palace maid, you are all old, what else can't you let go?" If you are obsessed with it again, the old body will order someone to ask for her head. ”
Chu Shoufu had already taken two steps, and when he heard this, he suddenly turned around and glared at her fiercely.
The old lady had never seen him so fierce and cold, so she was so frightened that she fell back into her chair and sat down, "You...... What do you want to do? Do you still want to kill your mother? ”
Chu Shoufu was full of gloomy and cold aura, like a demon from hell, "If you dare to touch a single strand of her hair, I want the Tong family to be wiped out!" ”
The Tong family is the maiden home of the old lady.
The old lady was frightened by this tone, "You...... How dare you? ”
"Mother, just try!" He turned around slowly, the wind outside blew in, blowing the candle flame before it was decided, and his face was also cloudy, "You are already old, just live in peace, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, there is nothing you worry about, tomorrow my son will order someone to send you back to Yuemei Nunnery, if there is nothing to do, you don't have to come back." ”
"You've lost your conscience!" The old lady roared in sorrow, the flesh on her face trembled, and she almost fell to the ground with anger.
Chu Shoufu strode out amid curses.
Early the next morning, as soon as it was light, someone packed her things for her, and the carriage was ready to send her back to Yuemei Nunnery.
The old lady was supported by Mama Tong and walked out step by step.
She was still wearing the same clothes as last night, and she was the noble lord of the county.
However, the whole face is already withered, and even the steps are already unstable.
Her mouth was scolding, and her heart was full of resentment.
At the door, she saw the unfilial son.
All the anger in her heart turned into strength, she slapped it and said angrily: "I see you die under the Nine Springs, what face do you have to see your ancestors." ”
Chu Shoufu's face did not change, he only smiled coldly, "As a son, my mother has enjoyed a lifetime of honor, why didn't I meet my ancestors?" ”
"You have no intentions, you have always hated me, you have been obedient all these years, you will do whatever I tell you to do, you have never disobeyed me at all, you have no intentions!" She scolded hoarsely.
"That's right!" Chu Shoufu looked at her coldly, "Because, you are not dead yet, you still have people who make moves, I can't be by her side, if you want to protect her, you have to obey what you arranged, there is no need today, because from today on, I will stand by her side to see who dares to touch her." ”
"You...... You ......" The old lady's mouth tilted a few times, but she couldn't speak.
Mama Tong helped her and cried: "Don't say a word, let's go back, county lord." ”
Chu Shoufu led the horse and instructed the people below, "Send the old lady back to Yuemei Nunnery." ”
He turned over and rode away, and the haze that had been gloomy in his heart for a long time seemed to be dispelled at once.
Yes, from this day on, he will stand by her side to see who dares to touch a single strand of her hair.
The old lady was helped into the carriage as if she was dead, she kept crying, the carriage curtain was closed, she covered her face with both hands, "I have worked hard for him in my life, why did he treat me like this?" ”
Mama Tong sighed softly, "County Lord, you have worked hard for him, but Daqian has not been happy for a day, he has not lived a happy life, he has endured for most of his life, he has been busy for most of his life, and there is not a day for himself." ”
The old lady leaned back with her head heavy, "But why?" That's just a, and he doesn't deserve him. ”
"That's what he likes, someone who can make him laugh out loud." Mama Tong swept her chest for her, thoughtful, "Some people may not be able to meet that person in their lifetime, but when he meets him, he can't get it, and what he gets, he doesn't like it." ”
"The old body doesn't understand, the old body doesn't understand......"
She muttered, and the carriage clattered, slowly moving away from the Chu Mansion, away from all the glory and excitement here.
