Chapter 12: Psychological Warfare
The old lady's eyes widened, and she gouged out her ears indecently: "Someone from the eldest princess's mansion is looking for three girls?" Did you hear it right? ”
"Yes, what the master ordered, absolutely I heard it right." The mother-in-law herself couldn't believe it, and looked at Chu Junlan curiously several times.
The surprise and jealousy of the people were unconcealed.
The eldest princess is the aunt of today! What kind of shit luck did Chu Junlan take, didn't he climb the high branches again?
Chu Mengying twisted the veil into a twist.
Don't talk about others, just say that she has a relationship with the fourth lady of Wenchangbo Mansion and has become a handkerchief, and she can be looked down upon by others, and the sisters in the family are holding her, and Wenchangbo's Mansion is still downcast in this generation.
If Chu Junlan is not only valued by the "old immortal" and the national teacher Huici, but also loved by the eldest princess of the holy family, where else is there a place for her in this family? Isn't it all Chu Junlan's world?
Chu Mengying was extremely jealous, but after all, she was older and knew restraint.
Eleven-year-old Chu Peishan pouted directly, and said dissatisfiedly: "What method did the third sister use, how did she change her luck after waking up, first Huici Guoshi came to find it, and now the eldest princess's mansion is also looking for it, should the third sister be a goblin, and it will make the demon law confuse people's hearts, right?" ”
Aunt Su was a little embarrassed and hurriedly pulled Chu Peishan's hand.
Chu Junlan glanced at Aunt Su meaningfully, and said jokingly: "If I am a goblin, the first one will be to lose the heart of the seventh sister and let the seventh sister love me, so that I will not be suspected in public, do you say this is the reason?" ”
Chu Peishan pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at Chu Junlan.
Aunt Sun looked at the old lady's smug face, her beloved son was still being punished, but Chu Junlan, who beat people, was beautiful?
She said worriedly: "I just don't know if this time is a good thing or a curse." The third lady came back from Daci Temple, and she didn't tell the old lady what the old fairy was looking for you. ”
Chu Junlan looked at Aunt Sun and smiled, "What else can you do when you go to Daci Temple?" Auntie hasn't been incensed? ”
Aunt Sun was choked, and her face stiffened and squeezed out a smile.
"Okay, what are you talking about?" The old lady said excitedly, "Since the eldest princess is from the mansion, you can't wait for a long time, such a distinguished guest, only the three girls will be sluggish to go by themselves, and the whole family needs to entertain them together." ”
"That's what the old lady said." This proposal is in everyone's minds, everyone is very curious, and they all want to show their faces in front of the head of the eldest princess's mansion.
The old lady led everyone to the front hall.
Chu Junlan walked beside Aunt Sun, clasping the acupuncture points on her wrists, and the two gradually fell behind.
"Does my aunt think that Zhilan is dead, and there is no proof that she is dead for instructing the arson?" Chu Junlan's voice was very soft.
Aunt Sun's heart jumped, but her face was very calm: "What kind of joke did the girl say?" I don't understand. ”
"If you want me to say, next time my aunt tells someone to do things, find someone smarter. Although Zhilan was loyal, she was not smart enough, and she set a fire to make a smell of fire oil, and instead of burning me, she burned herself to death. ”
"You ......" Aunt Sun's palms were cold.
That day, she felt that Zhilan's death was very strange, could it be that it was Chu Junlan......
"Don't be nervous, I'm afraid of loneliness, I haven't had enough fun with such a smart and interesting person as Auntie," she said slowly, like a feline teasing its prey, "Auntie, do you know how painful it is when people are burned to death?" Zhilan was full of fire, she could only struggle but couldn't extinguish it, she should have resented her aunt very much at that time, right? After all, everything was due to the instructions of my aunt, which caused today's consequences. It is also God who has mercy on me and let me wake up when I hear my mother's voice, otherwise I am a stiff person, I can't move or speak, wouldn't I even be able to dodge when the fire burns, but can only be burned alive? How many more times can Zhilan struggle, but how about me? I can only lie down and suffer, isn't it worse than Zhilan's death? ”
Aunt Sun stared at Chu Junlan's eyes, as if she had seen a ghost.
"By the way, the sixth brother was punished by his father for copying the "Book of Filial Piety" a hundred times, how many copies have he copied now?"
Aunt Sun's heart jumped, and she opened her mouth, realizing that she couldn't make a sound for a while.
"Auntie, guess what, if your mother and son are restless again, how will your father punish the sixth brother?"
"You ......" Aunt Sun almost couldn't control her volume, and lowered her voice, "You are not allowed to move Brother Yun!" ”
"Not allowed? Is my aunt ordering me? ”
"You!"
"Auntie, be careful, don't challenge my patience, while I still think it's interesting to keep you. If you are too happy to be a demon and take the initiative to find yourself uncomfortable with me, then we have to settle the accounts. Hey, you say cat and mouse, if the mouse is not fun, it will be annoying to watch, so what are you going to keep it for? ”
They were all compared to filthy rats!
Aunt Sun suppressed her anger and fear, forced her composure, and quickly distanced herself from Chu Junlan. When I got closer to her, it was like falling into an ice hole, and it was cold to the bone.
Aunt Wang saw the two muttering out of the corner of her eyes, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that these two people were afraid that they were not making up themselves behind their backs, and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, what do the third miss and Sister Sun say to themselves?" Tell us about it. ”
One sentence caused everyone to turn back.
Chu Junlan said with a smile: "Tell me some interesting stories I saw in the small garden, do you want to hear it?" ”
Aunt Sun's cold hair stood on end when she was frightened by Chu Junlan's words at this time, her heart was pounding at this time, and she didn't pay attention to what Chu Junlan said.
Aunt Wang's face turned pale, and it was easy for a smile to appear on her face: "What interesting anecdotes can Xiaohuazi have?" I'm not curious at all. By the way, let's hurry up, don't delay the time and make the guests wait for a long time. ”
Chu Junlan raised her eyebrows and walked behind the crowd, looking at Aunt Sun and Aunt Wang playfully, she clearly saw Aunt Wang look at Aunt Sun suspiciously several times, and Aunt Sun still looked deeply shocked and overwhelmed.
Things are getting more and more interesting.
She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
When everyone came to the front hall, Chu Cailiang was not surprised to see that the whole family had come.
After politely saluting and sitting down according to his identity, Chu Huating stood beside Chu Junlan with some concern.
The head of the eldest princess's mansion who passed the sixtieth year recognized Chu Junlan, and immediately bowed, "The third lady is fine, the situation was urgent yesterday, the eldest princess was worried about Ye Gongzi's body, she really messed up her proportions, and neglected the third miss, please don't blame it." ”
Chu Junlan returned the salute: "The eldest princess is too polite. ”
Everyone was confused when they heard it, and they didn't understand the trick, but they could see the respect of the master, and they became more and more confused.
"The third lady has superb medical skills, my son-in-law's life is hanging by a thread, he can be rescued by the third miss, the eldest princess is really grateful, and specially ordered the villain to send a thank you gift."
As he spoke, he turned around and made a gesture.
The guards of the eldest princess's mansion brought a delicate box carved from rosewood.
The manager smiled and took the box and opened it in front of everyone.
I saw that the box was paved with red brocade, and the brocade specially made two grooves, and in the grooves were placed two fist-sized night pearls, even in the daytime, the luster still flashed people's eyes.
Before the whole family could recover from the shock of Chu Junlan's medical skills, they were dazzled by the night pearl again, and they all stretched their necks to look into the box.
Aunt Wang's eyes were full of greed, Chu Mengying, Chu Yunjiao and Chu Peishan's eyes were straight, and their love was overflowing. The old lady couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and turned around to look at her second son, Chu Caijun. Chu Cailiang was very calm, and smoothed his short beard a few times with a proud face.
The chief didn't seem to see the appearance of everyone in the family, and continued: "The eldest princess said that the third lady is Hua Tuo alive, Bian Que was reborn, and such a person with superb medical skills naturally looks down on yellow and white vulgar things, the eldest princess wants to express her gratitude to you, and she is afraid that those things will stain your eyes in vain, so she chose this pair of night pearls." ”
Chu Junlan smiled silently.
Chu Huating's hanging heart was slightly lowered, and he came to Xie with such fanfare, that Ye Gongzi should have improved a lot, as long as his sister didn't get into trouble.
The rest of the Chu family members were secretly choking themselves in their hearts: Is gold and silver vulgar? They don't dislike it at all!
"This pair of night pearls is the treasure collected in the palace of the Southern Dynasty when the eldest princess followed the first emperor in the early years, and the first emperor loved the eldest princess, so he gave her this pair of night pearls. Now, the eldest princess has given this pair of night pearls to the third lady. ”
The boss knelt down as he spoke, and solemnly bowed, "The third lady rejuvenated with her wonderful hand and saved Ye Gongzi's life, which is equivalent to saving the life of the eldest princess, thank you for the third lady's life-saving grace, the little master kowtowed to you." ”
The sturdy three heads slammed on the ground, and Chu Junlan stepped forward to help the person up.
"There is no need to be polite, I save Ye Gongzi, but also for the sake of the eldest princess's true feelings for licking calves, not for any gratitude, this night pearl is a priceless treasure, and it has an extraordinary origin, which is of great significance to the eldest princess, and please take this night pearl back." Ye Gongzi's illness, I will naturally do my best. ”
The old lady was almost sick when she heard it! Such a good night pearl, don't want it? The eldest princess has been rewarded, and it will be over if you thank you directly! What to do to pretend to be high!
Chu Mengying's veil was about to be wrung to pieces.
Chu Huazhang also anxiously turned back to see his biological mother, Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang bit her lower lip, secretly pulled Chu Cailiang's sleeve and shook it twice, and whispered in his ear: "Master...... The pearl of the night......"
Chu Yunjiao squeezed Aunt Sun's hand and said in a low voice, "Auntie, I want it!" I want the pearl of the night! Isn't it two, one for each of us! ”
