Chapter 134: Seeking to see the county lord, the best of both worlds
Chu Yuan was afraid that something would happen to him, and he was even more afraid that Chu Yuezi's stomach would make a move, and the whole family would have to stop at that time.
Only two days later, he summoned several people with status in the clan to the ancestral hall of the Chu family, and announced Chu Qingbai as the heir.
Chu Qingsong, who was present at the same time, had a slightly ugly face, he had actually discovered his younger brother a long time ago that he was talented, although he was causing trouble every day, but it still gave him a sense of crisis, while he redoubled his efforts, he also used some unsavory means to suppress his younger brother, he just wanted to prove that he was his father's most outstanding son.
How is it possible for a person to grow by leaps and bounds in just two months? No matter how clever he is! This is also Chu Qingsong's reaction, this younger brother is far from being as simple as they see, he is unruly on the surface, but he is secretly working hard where they can't see, their mother and son think they have a firm grasp of him, but they don't know that others have already played with them between applause.
Now, after all, Lao Qi still has the honor of the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and his dream for many years is just a bamboo basket for water.
Because of Chu Yuezi's relationship, but now she has sacrificed her son's future, Zhao Qianru felt guilty in her heart, and came to comfort: "In the end, my mother is useless, and I didn't guarantee you to inherit the position of marquis." ”
Chu Qingsong himself could see it, and he smiled slightly: "I am indeed inferior to Lao Qi, he is better than me, and he is more suitable for inheriting this Hou Mansion." ”
"No, my son is the best, and Chu Qingbai can become the heir, but because your father has other considerations, and it has nothing to do with you." Zhao Qianru persuaded, "But you are all just children, your father's body is healthy, who can say for sure what will happen in the future!" ”
Chu Qingsong smiled: "Actually, I studied hard, not only to become the heir of the Hou Mansion, but also to gain fame and really get ahead." Mother don't have to worry, I will definitely study harder, and I will become a usable talent in the court in the future. ”
Seeing that her son was so sensible and still comforting herself, Zhao Qianru was moved in her heart, hugged her son in her arms, and said softly: "Yes, you have to let everyone who looks down on my mother and son today look at how we turned over, how we got back the honor that belongs to me step by step." ”
The younger brother became a loser, and Chu Yuezi was a little unhappy in her heart, but she was more concerned about her future, since the matter of this heir had been decided, then Chu Yuean should also go to the Duke of Qi to withdraw from the marriage.
"Mother, you should urge Chu Yuean to withdraw from the marriage." Chu Yuezi asked a little irritably, "Only after settling down with Yuzhi can I be sure in my heart." ”
Seeing that she was so cold to her younger brother, Zhao Qianru was a little cold, and said patiently: "We are just humiliating ourselves when we appear in front of Chu Yue'an now, your grandmother and your father are also anxious about this matter, they will watch it." ”
Chu Yue'an originally wanted to make the matter between Qi Yuzhi and Chu Yuezi bigger, and then withdraw from the marriage in public, making Qi Yuzhi the laughing stock of the capital and cutting off his career, so even if Chu Yuezi married in the past, the two complained to each other, and over time, they would become a pair of resentful couples.
However, the Duke of Qi is still affectionate and righteous to himself, and Chu Yuean doesn't want the Qi family to be criticized for this matter, so he plans to think of another way to repay him.
On this day, Chu Yue'an went to the Qin Palace's Mansion to meet the county lord of Xianluo.
The county lord of Xianluo was quite surprised by her arrival, since the last time she came to apologize in person, the two did not have any intersection, and the two did not have any friendship, and they really didn't know the purpose of her coming to find themselves.
"What wind is blowing you here?" The county lord of Xianluo sat down in the pavilion and stretched out his hand, "Sit down." ”
"I miss the county lord in my heart, so I came to take a look." Chu Yue'an smiled slightly, "I haven't seen you for many days, and the county lord's demeanor is even greater." ”
"Countless unequal to the Three Treasure Palace." The county lord of Xianluo poured a cup of tea for Chu Yue'an, "Between us, there is no need to say polite words, let's get straight to the point." ”
"Then I'll be straightforward, I'm really here to ask the county lord for help." Chu Yuean smiled indifferently.
The county lord of Xianluo raised his eyebrows: "With the relationship between the two of us, why do you think I will help you?" ”
"Listen to me first, and then decide whether to help or not." Chu Yue'an smiled lightly, "These days, the second son of Qi has threatened to withdraw from the marriage, I don't know if the county lord has heard about it?" ”
"What's the matter, do you want me to teach you a lesson about this Second Prince of Qi?" The county lord of Xianluo chuckled lightly with the teacup, "I am not interested in your personal grudges. ”
"If he really withdraws from the marriage, the key is that the Qi family will not withdraw from the marriage now, and the marriage date must be set." Chu Yue'an continued.
The county lord of Xianluo furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, not knowing what Chu Yue'an wanted to express.
"The current situation is that I want to withdraw from the marriage, but this marriage is given by His Majesty, and I am high, if I withdraw from the marriage directly, firstly, I despise the grace of God, and secondly, it seems that I am too ignorant of elevation." Chu Yuean smiled lightly.
"I really don't know how to lift." Lord Xianluo put the teacup he hadn't drunk back on the table.
"There is a reason for this, in fact, before Your Majesty gave you the marriage, my third sister Chu Yuezi and the second son of Qi already loved each other, and God made people, and His Majesty gave me a marriage to him." Chu Yue'an said, "So I want to get out of the marriage, fulfill the two of them, and let them have lovers and eventually become married." ”
"There is such a thing!" The county lord of Xianluo was surprised, she and Chu Yuezi had known each other for a long time, and she didn't expect that there was still a personal relationship between her and the second son of Qi, "But Chu Yuezi has hurt you, why do you want to help her?" ”
"First, in order to take care of the love of flesh and blood, the third sister has not thought about tea and dinner recently, and her grandmother is old, so she can't bear to embarrass her." Chu Yue'an said, "The second is also for myself, since the second son of Qi already has a sweetheart, if I marry it, it will be rare to be happy." ”
"It's a matter for the two of you, what can I do?" The county lord of Xianluo tilted his head and looked at Chu Yue'an, "You also have to know that if Yuezi replaces you this time, how difficult it will be for you to marry, you should also know in your heart." Even if the second son of Qi is not a good match, it is also your best choice right now. ”
"I've naturally considered the consequences, so only the county lord can help with this favor." Su Jiayu smiled slightly, "The eldest princess is practicing in Yongle Palace, I heard that she doesn't like to see outsiders, but she only likes you, the county lord, I hope that the county lord can recommend me to practice with the eldest princess, at most a year and a half, and when the third sister marries the Qi State Mansion, I will go home again, and my reputation will not be damaged." ”
This eldest princess is the eldest sister of His Majesty, Zhenzhen'er's golden branches and jade leaves, and it is said that the eldest princess is also because of her resemblance to the eldest princess, so she was particularly favored by the emperor.
The eldest princess was born by the emperor's favored concubine Min, who was very favored, and when she was fourteen years old, the emperor married her to the hussar general who had great achievements, but the general did not come back alive. The first emperor wanted to find her another concubine, but the eldest princess was disheartened and became a monk. The first emperor couldn't resist her, so he let her build a Taoist temple and give her tranquility.
The eldest princess of this dynasty should have been influenced by this aunt, and she was also a monk later, so she asked the saint to build a Baiyun Temple for her. However, the eldest princess became a monk to avoid the obligations of the royal family, but she was reluctant to take the imperial power, compared with her gradually collapsing reputation, the eldest princess is a real master of the world, over the years, just practice, not contaminated with imperial power.
Hearing this, the county lord of Xianluo paused for a moment: "This imperial aunt of mine has a strange temperament and doesn't like outsiders, whether she will let you practice with her is difficult to say, but why do you think I will help you?" ”
"Let's try our luck." Chu Yue'an smiled, "County Lord, you have always been chivalrous, helping the needy, and having the demeanor of a chivalrous woman, now that I am in a predicament, I can think of the person who can help me get out of trouble, but the county lord is the only one, I expect that the county lord is broad-minded, and he should not still be angry with me, so he is cheeky and asks to come to the door." ”
The county lord of Xianluo had an arrogant expression, but his eyes still betrayed her, and Chu Yue'an's words were still very useful.
In fact, in addition to being reckless, she is still soft-hearted, and she has always been reluctant to misunderstand Chu Yue'an, this time she can help her, and it can be regarded as reassuring herself, she coughed and said: "Okay, I can take you to see the imperial aunt, but I don't dare to guarantee whether she will agree to your request." ”
"Thank you, Lord Shire."
After making an appointment with the county lord of Xianluo, Chu Yue'an was about to say goodbye, but at this time, he saw a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes coming, followed by several mothers-in-law and maids.
The county lord of Xianluo hurriedly got up and said, "Mother, why are you here?" ”
It turned out to be Princess Qin, and Chu Yue'an also saluted: "I've seen the princess." ”
"I'll just walk around." Princess Qin is in her thirties, very well maintained, gentle and gentle, looks very gentle and charitable, she looks like a rich flower at a glance, she looked at Chu Yue'an with a smile and said, "Don't be polite, you look at some faces, I haven't seen it before, which family's daughter is it?" ”
"Back to the princess, I am Chu Yue'an, the second lady of Ninghou Mansion." Chu Yue'an lowered his eyes and replied.
"Second Miss Chu Yue'an of Ninghou Mansion......" Princess Qin muttered, her face changed slightly, and she glanced at the girl in front of her a lot, and her expression became more complicated from kindness.
Seeing that his mother had two points of gaffe, the lord of Xianluo County asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Princess Qin came back to her senses and said with a light smile: "It's nothing, the little girl is very cute, it reminds me of an old friend." I still have something to do, so I won't bother you to get together. ”
Seeing that his mother's state was not right, the lord of Xianluo County instructed the maid to be more careful and take care of it more.
