Chapter 368: Family Affection
Zi Yan lowered her head, and when she saw Chu Hua coming back, she hurriedly turned around and saluted Chu Hua.
The Xu family said that Chu Junlan locked himself up today and didn't eat or drink for a whole day.
Chu Hua took off the coat outside and handed it to Su Qin, then sat down next to Xu, and said with his eyebrows: "I see, I think Sister Lan has encountered a problem." What's the difficulty, we parents have to help the child find a way, what's the use of you in a hurry to reprimand a little girl. ”
Xu Shi was stunned, and also realized that he had made a stupid mistake, and smiled awkwardly: "It's because I think about it, I just think that Sister Lan hasn't eaten all day, and I'm a little worried." ”
Chu Hua looked at Zi Yan with a smile: "Okay, get up." Madame also feels sorry for your girl, don't be resentful. ”
Zi Yan hurriedly shook her head: "The maid doesn't dare, the maid understands that the prince and the lady treat the girl as their own daughter, and the maid failed to persuade the girl to eat, which is really wrong, and the lady should reprimand a few words." ”
Seeing that Zi Yan blinked her big watery eyes, her words were sincere, and she was loyal to Chu Junlan in the past, Xu smiled and asked Su Qin to reward Zi Yan with a golden silk hairpin, and instructed Zi Yan: "In the future, you must continue to serve the girl well." ”
Zi Yan hurriedly saluted gratefully.
Xu Shi turned to ask Chu Hua: "What should I do about Sister Lan?" I asked Sister Lan to ask? ”
Chu Hua thought for a while and said, "Let's go, you and I will go out for a walk." ”
Xu was surprised, and immediately understood that Chu Hua wanted to ask in person, and he didn't want his subordinates to gossip, so he got up and asked the rest of the servants and maids to wait in place, and followed Chu Hua to Chu Junlan's room.
Chu Junlan was lowering her eyes and thinking about what other countermeasures there were, seeing that the sky was dark, and the time for Zhao Dong's people to move was getting closer and closer, she even thought about such a big noble family as the Maoguo Mansion, was she still afraid that Gyeonggi Wei would not succeed?
But after thinking about it, if she couldn't think of a solution, she was afraid that the Maoguo Mansion would be affected by her.
Chu Junlan couldn't help but grab a handful of hair and sighed irritably.
"Sister Lan, what's wrong? It's so late, why don't you light it up? ”
Xu entered the door with a smile, took the fire fold and lit the silk lantern outside.
The soft warm light dispelled the dark blue in the room, pulling Chu Junlan back to the warm reality from the cold assumption.
"Mother? Father? Seeing Chu Hua and Xu sitting down at the Eight Immortals Table outside, Chu Junlan hurriedly got off the warm kang, pulled on his embroidered shoes, and limped towards the Eight Immortals Table.
"What's going on?" Xu Shi looked at her awkward posture of walking.
Chu Junlan said: "Sitting cross-legged for too long, my legs are numb." ”
Xu smiled slyly and pinched Chu Junlan's leg: "Is it hemp here?" ”
"Oops!" Chu Junlan felt his legs like pins pricked and ants crawling, and glanced at Xu, "Mother, why is it so bad!" ”
The atmosphere that was originally a little suffocating is now relaxed.
Chu Hua smiled and got straight to the point: "What problem did Lan girl encounter?" Speak up and help your Father figure it out. ”
Chu Junlan looked at the concern on the faces of Xu and Chu Hua, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Being able to feel the sincere maternal love and fatherly love in the Xu family and Chu Hua is about the biggest gain she gained from coming to the Maoguo Mansion, as for other fame and fortune, it is not what she thinks is the most important.
Chu Junlan told Xu and Chu Hua the ins and outs of the matter in detail.
When they heard that Aunt Sun had brought more than a hundred bandits to besiege the Chu family last night, Chu Hua and Xu's faces changed.
"You're not hurt, are you?" Xu Shi took Chu Junlan's hand and got up and carefully examined it.
Chu Junlan couldn't help but smile and turned around with Xu's strength, "Mother, don't worry, you see, I don't have anything to do." ”
Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said angrily: "This Zhao guerrilla is too unusual!" As an official of the imperial court, how can he collude with bandits? Lord Shizi, why don't you find a way to go to Zhao Dong's book? ”
Chu Hua was silent, in fact, even the emperor couldn't put an end to this kind of thing, he opened his mouth rashly, and the one who was facing it would be a military general group, and if one didn't get it right, it would be the entire Maoguo Mansion that would be tired.
Chu Junlan naturally knew Chu Hua's embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't embarrass my father about this matter." These generals are doing this, I don't believe that the emperor doesn't know about it at all, and other civil officials in the court don't know about it? Since so many people were silent and everyone was conformist, there was no reason for my father to make the first rafters. What's more, now my father's relationship with Dingguo Gong is not bad. ”
In fact, after the last incident, Chu Hua and Dingguo Gong vaguely formed a small alliance, originally Chu Hua was also from a military general's family, and he has always had the intention of being close to the generals.
The Xu family didn't know much about the affairs of the court, but seeing Chu Hua's expression, she also knew that she had given Chu Hua a problem, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Chu Junlan also told Xu and Chu Hua the news that Lu Wansong had come to tell her.
Xu Shi was furious when he heard it: "It's just the opposite of him!" What kind of thing is he Zhao Dong? You are a girl from our Maoguo Mansion, so he dares to say that he came to arrest people? Let him come, my mother wants to see, he dares to touch a hair of your hair! ”
Seeing Xu like this, Chu Junlan shook his head with a smile.
Xu is a good woman, but for this kind of big thing, it is inevitable that some women will have opinions.
What if their family is a national government? In this world, whoever has soldiers and horses in his hands and whose fists are hard has the right to speak. As for the truth of the facts, it was all written by the winner, according to Zhao Dong's plan, as long as she was arrested and let her "commit suicide in fear of crime", it would be up to Zhao Dong to say everything.
Chu Hua asked, "Sister Lan, do you have an idea?" ”
With such a big matter, it was impossible for him to watch Chu Junlan in danger and ignore it, if Chu Junlan had no choice, he would have to think of a way to do it.
Who knew that Chu Junlan nodded: "Father, my daughter did think of a way. But this matter involves a lot of things, and you must have seen that this matter is not due to the manipulation of Dingguo Gong, and I am afraid that the alliance between you and Dingguo Gong will be ruined in the end. ”
Chu Hua was stunned for a moment, and a warm current surged into his heart, he felt in an instant that his love for Chu Junlan was not in vain, he felt sorry for his daughter, and his daughter also felt sorry for him very much.
"Silly boy, what kind of alliance, although being an official is important, it is not as important as the life of a family. If you have a way, do it. As for what the solution, Chu Hua didn't ask at all, because he knew that Chu Junlan had his own success in doing things.
When Chu Junlan heard this, she was extremely moved, so the method that Chu Huating thought of for her was feasible.
After Xu and Chu Hua returned to the room, Chu Junlan immediately changed into a night suit, told Zi Yan to look at the room, and slipped out of the back window.
