Chapter 159: Go Your Own Way
After staying in Zhuangzi for six or seven days, the old lady returned to the Hou Mansion with her three granddaughters.
As soon as she got out of the carriage, she saw Zhao Qianru coming to pick her up in person, Chu Yueyun hurriedly asked Aunt Xiang who was following Zhao Qianru what was going on, Aunt Xiang shook her head lightly, signaling her not to say much.
When the old lady saw her, her face sank, and she asked in a cold voice, "You don't want to reflect on it in the Mirror Flower Pavilion, what are you doing here?" ”
Zhao Qianru said respectfully: "The concubine has been reflecting on it these days, and I feel that I have made a lot of mistakes over the years, and the concubine has also decided to learn from the pain, change the past, and only ask the old lady to forgive." From today on, the concubine body must burn incense every day to pray for blessings, pray for the prosperity of the Hou Mansion, and pray for the health and tranquility of the old lady. ”
"With you, can I still have peace?" The old lady sneered, because of so many people watching, she couldn't make the scene too embarrassing, snorted, asked Aunt Xiang to come over and help her get out of the carriage, and returned to the Spring Garden with a cold face.
The old lady went back and asked the three girls to go back to rest first, and the three Chu Yue'an sisters saluted and retreated.
"What's going on?" Chu Yueyun was puzzled, "Shouldn't the Zhao clan be grounded in the Mirror Flower Pavilion?" How did you get out? ”
Chu Yue'an smiled faintly: "Can't you see it, it must be that her father has forgiven her." ”
"How is that possible?" Chu Yueyun was puzzled, "Father values reputation the most, she has caused such a big disaster before, my father is so angry, how can he forgive her so quickly?" It's only been a few days! ”
Chu Yue'an hooked his lips and smiled: "The father and wife of the Zhao family and his father for almost twenty years were also very affectionate before, and there are still feelings in the end, if the Zhao family is pretending to be distressed, my father is soft-hearted, and it is not impossible to forgive her." ”
After a pause, Chu Yue'an continued: "What's more, the Zhao family is still connected to the Yuwang Mansion and the Zhao family after all, so it is impossible for the Ninghou Mansion to really break off the relationship with the Yuwang Mansion and the Zhao family, right?" What's more, there is still a sixth brother here, and for the sake of the sixth brother's face, he can't be too much to the Zhao family, so no matter what the reason, it is only a matter of time before the Zhao family is forgiven. Zhao's means are still there, and it is also a fact that my father's soft-heartedness is soft-hearted, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. ”
Chu Yue asked worriedly, "What about Chu Yuezi?" Will she return to the Hou Mansion? ”
"It's hard to say." Chu Yue'an said lightly, "With my father's temperament, anything can happen." ”
Chu Yue bit her lip: "If she comes back, will she target me?" ”
Chu Yueyun smiled disdainfully: "It's all this time, are you still so bold?" What is her current situation, even if she comes back, she has to be a man with her tail, thinking that she is still the golden and noble concubine she used to be? If you can't even deal with her, how will you be a housewife when you get married in the future? ”
Chu Yuexi bit her lip lightly: "I am different from you, how do you understand my suffering?" ”
"The road is all under your own feet, you can't choose your background, but you have the road in the future." Chu Yueyun said, "Think about Chu Yuezi, how noble she was in the Hou Mansion before, and how is it now?" ”
Chu Yue sighed lightly and said resentfully: "My life is not as good as you." ”
"Huh." Chu Yueyun smiled sarcastically, "What about the second sister?" What kind of life did the second sister live before, will you not know? Being able to get to where it is now, do you think it's because of her good life? Don't complain, I said that you always have to go down your own way. ”
Inside the Spring View Garden.
Zhao Qianru knelt in front of the old lady and wiped her tears pitifully: "Old lady, I really know that I am wrong, beg the old lady to give me another chance, I have joined the Hou Mansion for almost twenty years, doesn't the old lady have no affection for me at all?" ”
"Put away your tears." The old lady snorted coldly, "I'm not a man, I don't eat your set." It's not that I have no affection for you, it's that you have no affection for the Hou Mansion, if you have half of the Hou Mansion in your eyes, how can you tolerate the things that tarnish the innocence of the Hou Mansion? ”
"I really didn't mean to, I really just wanted to have a good future for Yuezi."
"Don't mention that little brute to me!" The old lady scolded, "You only know that you have a daughter, do you remember that you also have a son?" Your son is a malleable talent, and he will not be able to take on great responsibilities in the future, have you ever thought about how hard it will hit your sister's reputation if there is a problem with his sister's reputation, if his mother's reputation is problematic? ”
While speaking, the maid outside entered the room and reported: "Old lady, the sixth son is here." ”
The old lady sighed deeply, was silent for a while, and said, "Let him in." She glanced at Zhao Qianru again: "You get up and talk back." ”
"Old Madam Xie."
After a while, I saw Chu Qingsong entering, and asked Andao: "I heard that my grandmother came back from Zhuangzi, and my grandson came over to ask my grandmother for peace, I don't know if my grandmother is still happy this time?" ”
"I'm happy, if it weren't for your heavy studies, I would have taken you to play with me." The old lady said, "You are different from Lao Qi, you have always been quiet, but occasionally go to the field to be presumptuous and physically and mentally also very good, your fourth sister likes to hunt, the next time you go to live in Zhuangzi, you also go with your grandmother, and follow your fourth sister to hunt in the mountains!" ”
"Okay grandmother." Chu Qingsong looked at his mother with tears on her face, and asked with concern, "Is my mother's body better?" ”
"Much better." Zhao snorted and said, "Don't worry about your mother, you just need to study hard." ”
Chu Qingsong's eyes darkened: "The son is not filial, and he can't share his mother's worries, but the mother is in a current situation, how can the son be able to read the book?" ”
He looked at the old lady and hugged her fists and said: "Grandmother, my grandson knows that my mother has done something wrong, which makes you very unhappy, but my grandson still hopes that my grandmother can look at my grandson's face and give my mother a chance." Grandchildren must work harder, gain fame, serve the country in the future, and glorify their ancestors. ”
The old lady has always loved this grandson very much, and when she saw him so well-behaved, she couldn't be ruthless, although she couldn't say more reproaches, at least she wouldn't say anything to teach him a lesson to make him sad, and sighed lightly and said: "You are a filial child, your mother can have your son, it is her blessing, and I hope she can know and think about what is the most important thing." ”
"All right, I'm tired, you all go down." The old lady said.
"Yes."
Zhao's mother and son retired first, and when they came out of Chunjing Garden, Zhao Qianru wiped her tears and said: "Good son, mother doesn't hurt you in vain on weekdays!" ”
Chu Qingsong lowered his eyes and said helplessly: "Mother don't do anything to make your father and grandmother angry in the future, they can forgive you once or twice, but they won't forgive you all the time." ”
Zhao Qianru paused, pressed Chu Qingsong's shoulder, looked into his eyes and said, "You have to remember one thing, anything your mother does is for your sister and you, understand?" ”
Chu Qingsong obviously didn't agree with his mother's approach, he pursed his lips and thought about it, and said: "The son has his own son's path, and there is already a bright road in front of the son. The mother should not be in any other way, and the son does not need it, unless you do not believe in the son's ability. ”
"What a sideshow, how do you speak!" Zhao Qianru said dissatisfiedly, "You kid just don't know how to be grateful, who am I doing so much for!" ”
She paused and said sadly: "I don't know how your sister is now?" I can't get out of the Hou Mansion now, so you can go to your uncle's house to see her. ”
"Mother is confused." Chu Qingsong said lightly, "Father has already announced to the public that his son's sister is dead, and his son has no sister!" ”
"Bastard thing!" Zhao scolded, "How can you talk like that? Isn't your sister good to you on weekdays? Now even you want to abandon her? Even though the Hou Mansion doesn't recognize her as a daughter, don't forget that she is still a sister with the same blood as you! ”
Chu Qingsong bit his lip lightly: "Mother must be tired, go back and rest quickly, my son still has homework to review, go over first." ”
Zhao Qianru gritted her teeth and stomped her feet in anger, this son is going back more and more.
Chu Qingbai happily ran to Tianhe Courtyard to sell cuteness, and he said with a hippie smile on Chu Yue'an's face: "Second sister, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss you." ”
Chu Yue'an nodded his forehead with a smile, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you come to me every day before, but what kind of trouble did you make and want me to clean up the mess for you?" ”
"It turns out that the second sister thinks of me like this, I'm sad." Chu Qingbai pretended to be sad, "I really miss you, so I came to see you." But I really need my second sister's help with one thing. ”
Chu Yue'an showed an expression that was really not what I expected, and asked, "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”
"When I was in the Orchid Poetry Club, I wasn't in the limelight and was called a prodigy by the Queen Mother, and a few of my friends encouraged me to set up a poetry club." Chu Qingbai said, "I was carried by them for a few words, and I didn't know how to accept this matter." ”
"But you're short of money?" Chu Yue'an asked.
"Not really, my father and Aunt Xiang are very supportive, and I won't be missing in terms of money." Chu Qingbai said, "It's just that my poetry club is full of students of my size, and it is difficult to achieve any climate, I hope the second sister can use your face to invite some people to join the poetry club for me." ”
"Then you're looking for the wrong person." Chu Yue'an smiled lightly, "You should go to your fourth sister for this matter, she has a wide range of connections." ”
"Although she has a wide range of contacts, my poetry club is not famous, and people she knows may not be willing to participate." Chu Qingsong thought for a while and said, "Second sister only needs to be able to invite a few people to support the scene, and when I hold the first poetry meeting and have a reputation, I won't have to worry about it in the future." ”
