Chapter 145: The Imperial Plea
Chu Yue'an's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "How is the situation now?" ”
"Later, the people of the Zhao family came with Concubine Yu and rescued the third lady." Caixing said, "I don't know what the situation is now." ”
Chu Yueyun breathed a sigh of relief and patted Caixing's head lightly: "Stinky girl, can you finish talking in one breath?" Why are you kicking me so much, it scares me to death? ”
Caixing said aggrievedly: "It's clear that Miss Fang Cai has been interrupting me. ”
"Caixing, you go down first." Chu Yue'an said, "I didn't expect the Zhao family to appear at this time when everyone was afraid to avoid it. ”
The corners of her mouth hooked, and a sneering smile hung on her lips: "Speaking of which, although the people of the Zhao family are not right-minded and like to calculate others, they have nothing to say about the love and care of their own family." Compared with the Hou Mansion who only looks at the gains and losses of interests, who is superior and who is inferior to these two kinds of relatives? ”
Chu Yue was ruthless and said: "The third sister is still clean when she is dead, let's still give an explanation to the world, in this situation, how can we go out to meet people in the future?" ”
"We can see people how we should meet people, and we haven't done anything unseemly, so why can't we straighten our backs?" Chu Yueyun snorted, "I don't believe it, others will point fingers at me, I still want to go out, I want the world to see, not all the women in our Ninghou Mansion don't know shame." ”
"The more we should keep a low profile at this time, and wait until the influence of this matter is reduced to the lowest point. The more you show up now, the more you are just giving others extra talk points, so why bother? Chu Yue said with a pity, "Now it's not just me, you and me, my Xiucai uncle, I also asked someone to ask me today, I don't know if the affairs of the Hou Mansion will have an impact on him in the future!" ”
"Let's wait for him to be admitted to the lifting of people, isn't it too early to think about this?" Chu Yueyun snorted.
"Your family is in business, so naturally you don't know the importance of reputation for scholars." Chu Yue snorted, "What reputation does a businessman cherish?" ”
"Stop arguing." Chu Yuean pressed her temples, "The noise makes my brain hurt." ”
She paused and said: "But what the fifth sister said about this matter is still good, it's better to go out less recently, wait until everyone has almost forgotten about this matter." You two go back first, comfort your mother, things won't be as bad as they imagined, the sky won't fall, and I will try to calm the matter. ”
"Okay." The two got up and took their leave.
Right now, Chu Yuezi is in the Zhao family, I don't know if the Zhao family really treats her or what do you want to do with her? Let's see what happens later. Today's events are still beyond previous expectations, and it is still a blessing and a curse.
However, Chu Yue'an wants to take a look, the Chu family and the Qi family have turned His Majesty's marriage into a scandal, how can they explain to His Majesty?
The happy words posted by the Hou Mansion because of the marriage, the red lanterns hung up, and the festive things visited were removed one by one, and now this is the center of the scandal, and there are no guests visiting.
After Chu Yuan came back, he reported the matter to his mother, and when the old lady heard this, her face changed, and she sat up from the bed and scolded: "The bastard of the family! What does my Chu family have to do with his Zhao family when he enforces family rules? We want a clean reputation, and they prefer this time to come out and be good, where do they put us? ”
"Mother, don't be angry, beware of being angry." Chu Yuan patted the old lady's juniors, "Right now, Yuezi is in the Zhao Mansion, I can't rush in and snatch people out, right?" ”
The old lady's face was gloomy, and the Zhao family did this, so it was simply a person inside and outside the Hou Mansion.
"How many benefits his Zhao family has eaten from the Hou Mansion over the years, and now he wants to smash the pot of the Hou Mansion, it is unreasonable!" The old lady scolded hatefully, "If they want to raise it, let's keep it, we have the right to treat that girl as if she is dead, you let it go, and there will be no more Chu Yuezi's stinky girl in our family." ”
"How should I explain to the Duke of Qi?" Chu Yuan asked, "As long as Qi Yu insists that this matter has nothing to do with him, where can we reason?" ”
"No, the Qi family is also a person who wants to be faced, and the eldest son of the Qi family is still a person with a conscience, with him, the Qi family will not deceive people too much." The old lady said, "This matter is the fault of the two families, we have already lost a daughter, they just have a bad reputation, not to mention that for men, the reputation is checked, after all, they can marry a daughter-in-law, what else do they want?" If they dare to be aggressive again, we will go to Your Majesty and reason! ”
"If I had known that I would marry Chu Yue'an, I wouldn't have had so many incidents." Chu Yuan still had a layer of worry in his heart, "This matter was given by His Majesty to marry, and now that it has become like this, will His Majesty blame it!" ”
"You reminded me!" The old lady's eyes rolled, "You put on the official mansion inside, enter the palace to see Your Majesty, and go to ask Your Majesty for your guilt." ”
"Now? It's so late and the palace gate is closed, how can I get into the palace? Chu Yuan said embarrassedly.
"Then you kneel outside the palace gate to plead guilty, are you waiting for the Yushitai to participate in you tomorrow?" The old lady said, "Your Majesty pointed out that so many things have happened to the marriage, this is the cancellation of the marriage contract and the change of the bride candidate, it has made a good fuss, it is already attention-grabbing, if the marriage is successfully completed today, then everything is easy to say, for the sake of the happy event, others will not say much, but now that the happy event has become a bad thing, some people will naturally take the opportunity to step on it, you might as well take the initiative to confess your guilt and let Your Majesty open the net." ”
"What the mother said is that the son will go to the government and ask for sin." Chu Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, it seems that today's scandal is not only harmful to the reputation of the Hou Mansion, but also harmful to his career!
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't wait to strangle the mother and daughter to death with his own hands!
The moon and stars are scarce, everything is silent, but the sound of silk and bamboo came from a courtyard.
I only saw Yuwen Jinghuai half-lying on the soft couch, loosely dressed, revealing a white but firm chest, and beside him was a coolly dressed beauty, who peeled a grape and brought it to his lips.
He hooked his tongue and rolled the grapes into his mouth, and by the way, he lightly touched the beauty's jade-like fingers, which made the beauty laugh again and again.
There was a black-clothed guard standing below, and the guard was talking about today's wedding in the Qihou Mansion.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Yuwen Jinghuai stroked his palms and laughed, "I didn't expect there to be such a lively waiting!" Miss Chu Er thought about a way for a long time, wanting to keep the reputation of the two families, but she didn't expect that the embarrassing bottoms were exposed! ”
His eyes narrowed, when is this miscarriage bad, but when it was in the church, it was too much of a coincidence, Chu Yue'an, Chu Yue'an, I don't know what role you played in it?
"Go and find out the reason for Chu Yuezi's miscarriage." Yuwen Jinghuai commanded, "How is the matter that asked you to check two days ago now?" ”
"There are already results." The guard said and handed a letter to Yuwen Jinghuai.
He took it apart, glanced at it, hooked the corners of his mouth, and smiled meaningfully: "This Chu Yue'an is really interesting, as she expected, since this is the case, I will give her another big gift." ”
Chu Yuan knelt outside the palace gate all night, and when the palace gate opened in the morning, he called a father-in-law to call him in.
He knelt for a long time, his legs were numb, and the father-in-law called two guards to help carry him outside the imperial study.
At this time, Gonggong Qu came over and said: "It's not good for Ning Hou to kneel outside the palace gate, Your Majesty asked you to wait here first, and then talk about it after he finishes going to the early court." ”
"Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding, and thank you father-in-law for reminding me." Chu Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his face, and asked in a low voice, "Father-in-law, how is Your Majesty in the mood?" ”
"Your Majesty's mood is not something that these minions of mine can speculate, don't have a head?" Gonggong Qu made a gesture to wipe his neck, and Chu Yuan immediately understood that he would not dare to ask any more.
Gonggong Qu said again: "But Your Majesty's appetite before the early dynasty was good. ”
A good appetite means that his mood has not been affected, Chu Yuan's heart is a little calm, he didn't bring anything of value on him, and he gave him a piece of jade pei.
Gonggong Qu also smiled.
This morning did not last long before the dynasty went down, and after a while, the saint returned to the imperial study, he saw that Chu Yuan was still waiting outside, and said lightly: "You guys talk and go." ”
After entering the imperial study, Chu Yuan knelt down all of a sudden, and pleaded: "Holy Lord, the minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." ”
"Tell me what crime you have committed."
"The ministers and daughters have no way, so she has done shameless things." Chu Yuan said in a hurry.
"It's your family business, I'm not interested." Yu Wenqi said lightly, "It's just that your Ninghou Mansion is a famous family, a duke's family, and you are an official of the imperial court, you should set an example for the people, this kind of thing that makes the people laugh at it, really shouldn't it, is there anything else?" ”
"This ...... His Majesty can afford it, so he gave marriage to the Ninghou Mansion and the Qi State Mansion, this happy event, I didn't expect it to end like this in the end, and I am ashamed of the emperor's grace to Your Majesty! Chu Yuan kowtowed, "But yesterday's incident was unexpected by everyone, no one thought that such a thing would happen, it wasn't that we intentionally wanted to blaspheme the emperor's grace!" ”
"Unexpected?" Yu Wenqi threw the cinnabar pen in his hand that had been reviewing the chapter to Chu Yuan's body, Chu Yuan was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and he hurriedly buckled his head: "Your Majesty forgives you." ”
"Why do you want to give me a marriage?" Yuwen Qi said coldly, "Your eldest son Chu Qinghua sacrificed his life for the country, died a heroic death, I feel sorry for the loss of such a talent in the Southern Tang Dynasty, I heard that he also has a twin sister, so he gave this marriage, hoping to give his sister a good home, but it is really redundant." I think you yourself understand, how much has happened since the marriage? ”
