Chapter 224: Return to Beijing, Get off the horse
On the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Chu Li, the daughter of the old lady, finally came to the capital.
Aunt Xiang was afraid that there was something inconsiderate, and she personally went to the front of the capital to greet her, Chu Li's pomp was very large, dozens of carriages, and there were more than a dozen boxes behind, and I didn't know what treasures they contained.
"The third girl is finally here, but the old lady is looking forward to it!" When Aunt Xiang entered the mansion, Chu Li had not yet married, and she had always been called her so.
Chu Li's face was a little cold, looking at Aunt Xiang's expression a little cold and disdainful, he just opened the curtain of the car, did not get out of the carriage, and looked at Aunt Xiang in front of him coldly, as if she was an ordinary subordinate: "Are you the only one who came?" ”
"Everyone is waiting for you in the Hou Mansion!" Aunt Xiang said with a smile.
"I finally came back once, and I expected you to come and pick me up alone, anyway, the juniors in the house should also go this way, right?" Chu Li snorted, "They didn't take my aunt to heart?" ”
"No, the young lady in the house is looking forward to the third girl, how can I not take you to heart, and accompany the old lady to relieve her boredom at this time!"
Chu Li glanced at Aunt Xiang coldly: "Don't use your mother to press me, right now, you are the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, and the appearance of each junior is that you are derelict in your duties, and I will definitely tell my mother about this matter when I go home." When the words fell, she lowered the curtain and said no more.
Aunt Xiang sighed softly and said, "Third girl, let's go home in Beijing." ”
Saying that, Aunt Xiang pushed aside, and after all Chu Li's carriages entered Beijing, Aunt Xiang got in the car and rushed to the Hou Mansion. In the car, the maid who was waiting complained about: "This aunt has too much temper, auntie, you go to the city gate to greet her, it is enough to give her face, I didn't expect her to squeeze you so much." ”
Aunt Xiang sighed softly: "Don't say it, let's go back." ”
In the car in front, Lu Youming snuggled up to Chu Li's side, a little dissatisfied with her attitude, and said: "Mother, the attitude towards Aunt Xiang is too bad, why is the Hou Mansion under her control now, why bother to offend her?" ”
"It's because the Hou Mansion is in charge of the house right now that I want to give her a dismount, a concubine, but it's just because there is no one in the mansion that she picked up a bargain. Don't think that this Hou Mansion is really what she says! Chu Li snorted, "The dignified Hou Mansion actually let a concubine enter the house, and I don't know what my mother and eldest brother are thinking." ”
"At present, Aunt Xiang's maiden family is indeed very wealthy, and the Hou Mansion has to count on it, and it is also appropriate to value Aunt Xiang." Lu Youming said, "How many years have you been married, don't worry about the affairs of the Hou Mansion, now the Hou Mansion is very chaotic, you should be careful that you are not a person inside and outside." ”
"Shinong businessman, the origin of the merchant family, in the end is still low." Chu Li said, "You can rest assured, you just have your own measure." ”
After a while, the carriage arrived outside Ninghou's mansion, and Chu Yueyun and Chu Yuexi greeted them at the door.
Chu Li got out of the carriage and was very unhappy to see that there were only Chu Yueyun and Chu Yuexi.
"Auntie has finally come to look forward to you." Chu Yueyun said with a smile, "It's been hard along the way. ”
Chu Yue also saluted.
Chu Li glanced at the two concubines, his face was cold, he didn't say anything, and asked lightly, "What about the mother?" ”
"Grandmother is waiting for my aunt in the Spring Garden!" Chu Yueyun smiled, "I'll take my aunt here." ”
"Hmm." Chu Li nodded lightly, "I see my mother now, I know how to walk the road of Chunjingyuan, so I don't need you to lead the way, you can send me back to the place where I live for these salutes." ”
"Yes." Chu Yueyun smiled lightly.
Chu Li took Lu Youming and led a group of subordinates into the Hou Mansion, and Chu Yueyun called a few servants to come over and unload the goods on the carriage and move them to Xia Heyuan.
Chu Yuexi looked at Chu Li's back, frowned and said, "Auntie is in a bad mood and doesn't care about us." ”
"She's always done that, don't pay attention to her." Chu Yueyun said.
At this time, Aunt Xiang also came back, got out of the carriage, and asked, "Has your aunt arrived?" ”
"Here, she's gone to see her grandmother herself, let's pack up for her here." Chu Yueyun said lightly, "This aunt, just like in my memory, hasn't changed at all." The same was true of the last time she came back, except for Chu Yuezi, she didn't have any of us concubines in her eyes. ”
"She won't be able to live for many days, and the patience will pass, you go and accompany your aunt, just leave it to me here." Aunt Xiang said.
Chu Yueyun and Chu Yuexi then went to Chunjing Garden together, and as soon as they arrived, they heard that they were complaining that Chu Yuean and Chu Qingbai did not come out to greet her.
The old lady explained that Chu Qingbai was lying on the bed and couldn't come out to meet the guests, and she complained about Chu Yue'an's neglect, so she ordered someone to call her over.
Chu Li didn't shy away from anything, and said: "I have heard about the big and small things in the Hou Mansion, I opposed it when you wanted to raise Zhao Qianru right, how can a concubine become the lady of the Hou Mansion, you have to listen, now it's okay, she taught Chu Yuezi a good girl, and did so many embarrassing things, although our family is in the south of the Yangtze River, far away from the capital, it was still affected by those rumors, I didn't dare to go out for a while, and Youming, this marriage will be affected." ”
The old lady was in a good mood when she saw her daughter coming back, but after hearing her complaints, her face sank again: "Zhao Qianru is indeed my mistake, and I have affected everyone, and I can't shirk my responsibility, but people are forgetful, as long as that ugly thing passes, everyone will still remember the scenery of the Hou Mansion." ”
"In the past?" Chu Li smiled mockingly, "Just because Chu Yuezi is still bouncing now, where did this matter pass so quickly?" Is this Chu Yuezi having no way to take her, let her be embarrassed? ”
"She's the eldest princess's person, and we can't touch her." The old lady said helplessly.
Lu Youming saw that his grandmother's face was not very good, so he hurriedly interrupted and talked about some interesting things on the way, so as not to let his mother talk about those unhappy things anymore.
With her enlivening the atmosphere, the old lady's face really improved.
However, Chu Li seemed to have to prove that he was correct in this matter, and stared at Chu Yueyun and Chu Yuexi again: "You two don't want to learn from Chu Yuezi and do things that embarrass the Hou Mansion!" Mother, why don't you keep these two girls by your side, their biological mothers are also concubines, and the girls who are taught will also ......."
Is it tolerable or unbearable, Chu Yueyun couldn't help but retort: "Auntie is too worried, my aunt has taught me what etiquette, righteousness and shame are since I was a child, and I will not do anything to embarrass the Hou Mansion." ”
"Is it also the rule that your mother taught you to contradict your elders?" Chu Li taught with a straight face, "The daughter taught by the concubine is really like this, and she can't be on the stage." ”
"That's it, it's not really a confrontation. My aunt is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, she must be broad-minded, and she won't worry about the younger generation for such a trivial matter, right? Chu Yueyun smiled lightly, "I know that my aunt is thinking about the Hou Mansion, but our sisters have been serving by our grandmother's side since we were children, listening to our grandmother's teachings, and the glory of the Hou Mansion is our glory, which we dare not forget." ”
"It's good to know." Chu Li snorted, "I think that my grandmother still loves you too much, and I didn't set up the rules for you, since I came, I naturally want to teach you the rules well." ”
The old lady was tolerant of this daughter and said with a smile: "These girls really have no rules, and it is also excellent that you can teach them personally." ”
While speaking, Chu Yue'an also arrived, she entered and greeted the old lady, Chu Li sneered: "Our second lady's shelf is really big, and she actually has to be urged three times and invited four times to come." ”
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Chu Yue'an, it was indeed different from the little girl who was thin in her memory, it seemed that she inherited the beauty of that woman, but she didn't know that her lewd and nature was also inherited.
"It turned out that my aunt came, and I should be the honored guest." Chu Yue'an smiled faintly and stepped forward to salute.
"The elders came back to save their relatives, and you hid in the room and didn't come to see the guests for a long time, is it because of it?" Chu Li asked coldly, "But don't you take me seriously?" ”
"When I heard that my aunt was coming, I rushed here immediately? Why don't you see it for a long time? Although I have not been greeted at the door, I have not seen rudeness, have I? Chu Yue'an smiled lightly, "Besides, this Hou Mansion is also my aunt's home, why does my aunt treat herself as a guest like this?" ”
"It's a bit sharp-tongued." Chu Li snorted, "In the end, you still have no mother early, lack of rules, you blame the pitiful, I don't blame you, just like the two of them, I will also set up rules for you." ”
"My aunt is kind enough to accept it, but I occasionally have to practice with the eldest princess, and the rules of the eldest princess are not very different from my aunt's, so as not to spoil the mood of the eldest princess, so I won't learn from my aunt." Chu Yue'an said lightly, "But my aunt doesn't treat herself as an outsider, I feel very pleased, our Hou Mansion has bought a new batch of maids, if my aunt is free, she can also teach them together, it's all for the dignity of the Hou Mansion, if you want to work hard, your aunt is also willing." ”
actually regarded her as a grandmother who taught the rules, Chu Li was so angry that her teeth itched, when did this girl become so powerful? When Youming talked about Chu Yue'an before, she still didn't believe it, but now it seems that Youming is telling the truth, Chu Yue'an, this girl, does have some means.
