Chapter 35: Coaxing
Chu Jingyan's claws flashed in front of his eyes and came back to his senses.
Chu Jiayin often looked at him distractedly, and she didn't know what she was thinking, she wanted to ask but was afraid that the second brother would not want to tell him, and she would be annoyed.
"Second brother, you don't think about the girl from which family, right?" Chu Jiayin suddenly raised his eyebrows and joked.
Her second brother is more than 16 years old this year and has passed the age of marrying a wife. If it weren't for the fact that the second brother wasn't from his own family, the elders would have already looked for a girl for him, and he shouldn't have even had a fiancΓ©e here.
Chu Jingyan looked at Chu Jiayin's bright eyes, a wicked smile on her beautiful face, and an expression that I wanted to listen to gossip, and only replied with a smile of unknown meaning.
"Second brother, what do you mean by this? Which beautiful sister do you really like? Chu Jiayin widened his eyes curiously.
Chu Jingyan raised her hand and knocked on her cranky brain, and said with a smile: "I stay in the mansion all day, I don't know anyone outside, and the other sisters and sisters don't kiss me, who can I look at?" β
If you want to ask Chu Jingyan for a girl's family name in the capital, he is afraid that he will not be able to say one if he wants to break his head.
Chu Jiayin didn't embarrass the second brother anymore, and the matter was over. The future chief strategist should naturally think about some things she doesn't understand, such as what happened in the court, how the people lived in peace at dawn, how to resist foreign invasions, and so on.
Other brothers only read poems and biographies when they read and practice, but her second brother also has to read the art of war, which is different from those ordinary people who only want to pass the exam!
"What kind of woman does the second brother like?" The woman who can win the favor of the future great strategist will definitely be glorious and rich in the future, right?
In his previous life, before his death, he had not seen his second brother marry a wife, and he only knew that he had praised several talented women. Perhaps, the second brother will like to be knowledgeable, full of wealth, and can talk to him virtuous helpers, right?
Chu Jingyan lowered his eyes and really thought about it, but when it was time to give an answer, he only sighed.
"If others want to start a family, I want to start a business first and then start a family. After all, with my current status, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for a woman to be willing to marry. I'll talk about marriage later. As soon as Chu Jingyan said this, the whole person became a little colder, as if he had really bewitched himself into a pure-hearted person with few desires and was not close to women.
He didn't want to mention it, and Chu Jiayin couldn't force him, so he lowered his head and continued to recite the poems.
If in the future, she also has the talent of those women who were praised by Chu Jingyan, will the second brother look at her differently?
Nguyen Huong Linh's residence.
Chu Zhang mediated the contradictions between Ruan Xiangling and the old lady back and forth during this time, and seeing that the old lady was a little shaken, who would have thought that Chu Yun and Ruan Xiangling, the mother and daughter, would make such a fuss that damaged the reputation of the Chu family. It's stupid!
Chu Zhang originally planned to give Ruan Xiangling a good lecture, and by the way, mention her way of raising her daughter, but who knew that Ruan Xiangling knelt down and begged him for forgiveness. Crying and crying, coaxing and deceiving, he was so noisy that he couldn't bear to blame the poor outer room and her children.
Yun'er was also confused for a while. Alas, to put it mildly, Yun'er and Liangshan have not had a good life since they were born, and they are not educated and polite. I worked hard to raise them alone, and if I didn't pay attention to teaching people like this, I will be scolded by you. Ruan Xiangling wiped her tears, looking extremely aggrieved, "You dislike the three of us, it's better to blast us away earlier!" β
"Okay, don't cry. I didn't want to blast you away. Chu Zhang was in a hurry, and he didn't know what to say to coax Ruan Xiangling, and he walked around.
Ruan Xiangling only cared about crying, her eyes were red, and she was distressed.
Chu Zhang's heart softened even more, and he hurriedly comforted: "Mother, I'll talk to her Haohao again." If you have passed the township test, you should find a better gentleman to teach your homework, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with others. β
"Not really." Ruan Xiangling sobbed and partnered, "My son is also pitiful, I can't even find a better teacher, I have been studying hard for several years, but I can be regarded as a show before I came back." Now if you want to hire a good gentleman because you have no money and no identity, you won't be wronged and die. β
After a pause in the middle of the way, he said: "Goodness has some talent, otherwise it would not be possible to take the test under such difficult conditions before coming back." He is the flesh and blood of your Chu family, the flesh and blood of the Chu family have no money to find a good gentleman to teach and wasted their talent for studying, and people outside don't laugh at you to death. Even if it's not for us, you should think about your own face. β
When Chu Zhang heard this, he felt that his face was a little red, he put his hands behind his back, frowned, and swore and said, "Xiangling, don't worry, this kindness is the only male in the fourth room of the Chu family." Even if his mother is not satisfied, she has to admit him back. β
"Really?"
"Really." Chu Zhang assured her.
Ruan Xiangling burst into tears and laughed, stepped forward and crooked into Chu Zhang's arms, and said, "This is what you said. β
"As I said, if I can't even take care of my son and daughter, am I still worthy of being a father? You can rest assured. But this matter will have to wait for a while, after all, Yun'er's matter, the mother has not calmed down her anger. β
He was also worried about what he could do to get people back. Looking at the old lady's attitude towards Ruan Xiangling's mother and son, I am afraid that she would rather cut off the incense in the fourth room than recognize them.
β¦β¦
Chu Jiayin was full of food, and walked around the courtyard behind the Chu Mansion, and the peach blossoms gave her to find sour plum soup, and she hadn't come back yet.
After counting the laps, a man sneaked out of the back door and opened the door, and slipped in.
Chu Jiayin was afraid of meeting the gangsters, so she went into the grass and secretly looked at it for a while, and after seeing the faces of the people who came, she realized that it was her father who came in. Going back to your own home is still like a thief?
Chu Jiayin jumped out of the grass and walked towards the back door, blocking Chu Zhang's way.
"Daddy? Where have you been, and why are you coming in through the back door? Chu Jiayin leaned at the door, tilted his head to look, and glanced at whether there was anyone behind the door.
The ghost shadow was not seen, but Ruan Xiangling's residence, which was not far from the back door, was open, and the house had just closed it. Needless to say, I know where it went.
Chu Jiayin poked his head out of the door, looked over there, and then looked at Chu Zhang, sobbing and crying. Seeing this, Chu Zhang hurriedly covered her mouth.
"Daddy doesn't necessarily go to Linglong Pavilion to see me when he's free, but he has time to see my aunt and brother outside. Daddy really doesn't like Yinyin anymore, hum! Chu Jiayin relied on the fact that he was still a child, and he played a rogue temper unscrupulously.
"Yinyin, isn't there a family that hurts? Look at my aunt and brother, I can only live in that kind of place, I can't eat well and dress badly, how pitiful. Is it good to be obedient? That...... In this way, you tell your grandmother to take your aunt and brother home, and your father will visit you every day, okay? Chu Zhang tried to coax Chu Jiayin.
No matter how much Chu Zhang says, I'm afraid he can't withstand Chu Jiayin's pleading.
If Chu Jiayin in front of her was really a little girl who was less than ten years old in her previous life, maybe she would have agreed if she heard a few more coaxing words.
But she is Chu Jiayin, who has been reborn and returned, she knows what grievances she will suffer after Ruan Xiangling's mother and son move in, so she will not agree to them entering the door of the Chu family!
"Not good!" Chu Jiayin shouted loudly, "Since my father brought my sister back, there has been no sound in my heart. If my brother comes back, I'm afraid my father won't even be able to talk to Yinyin. β
"How so?" Chu Zhang tried to induce her, but Peach Blossom came over with sour plum soup at this time.
"Girl." Peach Blossom was holding a bowl full of sour plum soup, just looking at the road and the soup, and didn't have time to care if there was anything more on the other side.
Chu Jiayin heard her voice, hurriedly moved away from Chu Zhang, and ran over to take the sour plum soup. A bowl of sour soup is in the stomach, and the feeling of fullness is no longer so severe.
Chu Jiayin hiccuped.
Peach Blossom only saw him at this time, and hurriedly said hello: "Fourth master." β
With outsiders here, Chu Zhang is not good at mentioning Ruan Xiangling and their affairs again. Besides, this peach blossom girl can also speak in front of the old lady, if she turns her head and goes to Fu'an Hall to complain, it will be strange if she is not caught by her mother and scolded a bloody dog.
"Hmm. Serve Miss Six well, don't let her fall again. Chu Zhang commanded.
Peach Blossom blessed the body: "Yes." β
Chu Jiayin pursed his lips behind his back.
Chu Zhang just left.
"Girl, what did the fourth master say to you?" Peach Blossom asked, for fear that Chu Jiayin was young and would be deceived by him.
Chu Jiayin replied: "I didn't say anything. Daddy went to see my aunt and brother, and as soon as he came back, he pulled me and talked to me for a while. β
"The fourth master went to see Ruan Xiangling and her son?" Peach Blossom showed a look of dissatisfaction, and hugged Chu Jiayin, "I don't see you on weekdays, I don't see the girl, I say it's busy." Ruan Xiangling's mother and son live so far away, and I don't see him and I don't have time to see it. β
When Chu Jiayin heard this, he felt a little sad, but he was not too sad.
Peach Blossom realized what hurtful things she had said, hurriedly looked at Chu Jiayin, and said worriedly: "Girl, don't take it to heart, don't be sad." Although the fourth master doesn't spoil you, everyone in the family spoils you......"
"I'm not sad."
In her previous life, she was used to being bullied and humiliated by Ruan Xiangling's mother and daughter, Chu Zhang didn't love her, and she was used to it.
Now that she has been reborn, her grandmother is here, and the elders of the Chu family who doted on her are here, I don't know how much better than the days when she was neglected in her previous life. Why be sad?
The township test site was set up in the official compound, and the talented people who took the name of Xiucai went to sign up one after another. Chu Jiayin wanted to join in the fun, so she went with a few brothers.
By March, the flowers and trees on the riverbank of the road in the city had bloomed, and they were sprinkled with color. Occasionally I lifted the curtain to look, and there were flower petals floating into the car.
In the early spring, when the winter snow has faded, the temperature gradually rises, and the heating becomes more and more nourishing.
There are festive red lanterns hanging at the door of the official house, although there is still March before the exam, but in order to seek good luck, they are hung up in advance.
The students who came to sign up came one by one, and the people of the Chu family were mixed in and disappeared into the vast sea of people.
Because of the crowd, the carriage had to stop halfway through.
