Tianheyuan.

"Second sister, I have something to look for you."

Chu Yue'an was practicing writing, watching Chu Yueyun hurriedly enter, put down the pen, and asked indifferently, "What's the matter?" ”

"I just met with Brother Yan and heard about something." Chu Yueyun said, "At present, there are rumors in Beijing that you are a fierce and vicious dominatrix, and you like to abuse your sister-in-law the most on weekdays, and there are many mothers-in-law who have been killed by you, and you have several lives in your hands!" Anyway, how outrageous did it come about, why was there so much gossip in this night? ”

"I thought it was a big deal." Chu Yue'an smiled faintly, picked up the pen and continued to transcribe the rest of the notes, "This tongue grows on someone else's body, I don't care how to arrange me." ”

"Why are you still in the mood to write, don't you want to know what's going on?" Chu Yueyun said, "If it weren't for Brother Yan, we'd just be in the dark now!" Guess what, it turned out that Chu Yuezi took that idiot to a party, and the party was that Yue Xi was covered with scars, saying that these scars were all made by you, so ah, your notoriety spread out all of a sudden! At that time, the county lord of Xianluo was also there, so he was afraid that she would bring the words to the palace. ”

"That's exactly what happened." Chu Yue'an put down the pen and frowned slightly, "They can't use any tricks against me in the Hou Mansion, they just want to start from the outside and ruin my reputation." Good things don't go out, evil things go thousands of miles, the reputation of the girl's family is bad, and I will be pointed at in my life. ”

"You know the consequences, and you're not in a hurry? Think about it, what to do now? Chu Yueyun asked, "You can't let them spread rumors in vain, right?" ”

Chu Yue'an lightly tapped the table with one finger: "Rumors always run faster than the truth, if I explain, how many people are willing to listen?" The opposite must be done. ”

"How?"

The corners of Chu Yue'an's mouth hooked up a shallow smile: "Don't be in a hurry to explain, since the county lord of Xianluo loves to join in the fun so much, he will just use her when the time comes." ”

On July 15, the Midyear Festival is one of the most solemn festivals of the year, offering sacrifices to ancestors and relatives and praying for peace in the coming year.

This is the first important festival after Aunt Xiang took charge of the Hou Mansion, and it must be organized with all her heart.

In the evening, the city begins to come alive, with people either worshipping their ancestors at home or lighting incense and burning paper on the roadside, so that the wandering lonely souls can also have a full meal.

The same is true in the Hou Mansion, the festival of sacrificing the ancestors, in addition to the three rooms far away, the second room is to spend this Midyear Festival together in the Hou Mansion.

In the afternoon, the second master brought his wife and children over, and after greeting the old lady, he went to play chess with the eldest brother, and the wife and concubine stayed to talk to the old lady.

The matter of the sachet last time made the second lady unable to raise her head, and now in front of her mother-in-law, she is even more like sitting on pins and needles, afraid that she will scold herself.

"Qing Xiu's daughter-in-law has taught him a hard lesson after he went back, he was seduced last time, and he will definitely have a few more eyes in the future, and he will not let those little have a chance again." The second lady observed the old lady's face and said, "Mother doesn't know, that child has been very motivated recently, and my husband has praised him for his good academic work, and in the future, he will definitely be able to test for fame." ”

On her right hand sat her biological daughter Chu Yueyan, who didn't like her mother to praise the younger brother who didn't make it to the point, her own flesh and blood were not sad, but she held the demon king of the mixed world in her mouth every day.

"No matter how good my brother's knowledge is, how can he compare to Brother Song, Brother Song is the most outstanding one among the sons and daughters of our life!" Chu Yueyan said nonchalantly, "If he can have half of Brother Song, you should wake up laughing in your dream." It's good that we don't cause trouble! ”

"Your younger brother Song is a child born from his son, which is naturally good, and the one under my knees is naturally incomparable." The second lady smiled awkwardly, sensing her daughter's unhappiness, and mentioning the distinction between concubines and concubines, dispelling the unhappiness in her heart.

"I can't say that, I heard the sixth brother say that my younger brother has indeed made a lot of progress in recent days." Chu Yuezi smiled lightly, "They are all brothers, they don't need to compare, they will help and support each other in the future, brothers, friends and brothers, and they will definitely be able to glorify the lintel of our Chu family in the future." ”

Chu Yuezi said this to the second lady, but to the old lady, after all, I still hope that there will be no disagreement between the two families because of the events of the past few days.

Hearing the words praising her son, the second lady was naturally happy, took a sip of the teacup, and asked, "How is the sister-in-law's body?" ”

Chu Yuezi put down the teacup, her expression was a little impatient, she glanced at her grandmother's expression, hooked her lips and said gently: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the doctor told me to rest more." ”

Chu Yueyan continued: "The eldest aunt's body has always been healthy, how can you say that she is sick?" It should be the affairs of the Hou Mansion over the years, and it should be a good rest. We should have gone to see the juniors, but it's inconvenient to bother now, so we have to change the day. ”

"You live in the house next door, and if you have the heart, you can come at any time if you want to." Chu Yuezi said lightly, "Looking at Sister Yan's face, she must have almost recovered her body, right?" Last time, when I was born, you didn't come when you were unwell, but when I saw that your body was healed, I was happy for you in my heart. ”

The old lady picked up the teacup, glanced at Chu Yueyan and asked, "The wedding date of the cigarette girl is set for the beginning of spring, right?" ”

"Yes, the third day of March next year will be an auspicious day." The second lady said, "I discussed the marriage date with the man earlier, and the man was also distressed by the cigarette girl, so he deliberately postponed the marriage for half a year, just so that she could accompany us more at home." ”

"Hmm." The old lady nodded, "Shicheng's kid is good to me, although he is not a big family, but he is also from a wealthy family, and he is also a protégé of the prime minister, his character is valuable, and he is motivated, he will definitely gain fame one day, and he will not be wronged by the cigarette girl." ”

"yes." The second lady was a little disgusted that this son-in-law's background was lower, but she couldn't resist her daughter's own love, as long as she wanted to save some face, "Their family is simple, and the cigarette girl will enjoy Qingfu when she marries, and there are not so many bad things." Shicheng is honest and reliable, there are not so many fancy intestines, and he will inevitably know the cold and hot for the cigarette girl for a lifetime, what do you say we women want to do all our lives, don't you just want a person who knows cold and hot? ”

"Well, you did say something clear." The old lady nodded and said, "This husband and wife are harmonious and have a smooth life, which is more important than anything else." ”

In the final analysis, he is just a poor scholar, although Chu Yuezi didn't say much, but there was a sense of contempt in his heart, Chu Yueyan has loved to compare himself with himself since he was a child, but he doesn't see what kind of virtue he is, and his current marriage is just a poor scholar, how can he compare himself with himself in the future?
