Chapter 59: Returning Home
Fu'an Hall.
Chu Jiayin, who was wearing a cloak, quietly got into Old Madam Chu's room.
"Grandmother."
Old Madam Chu was taking a nap, closed her eyes, and frowned slightly when she heard Chu Jiayin's voice. When she opened her eyes, she sent someone to train her baby granddaughter, who had not been found for two days, and now she was standing in front of her.
"Yinyin? You're back? Old Mrs. Chu grabbed Chu Jiayin's hand and asked her to come forward to write, and after watching it for a long time, she was sure that her baby granddaughter was back.
Chu Jiayin climbed onto the supernatural side of the bed and said with a smile: "Grandmother, Yinyin has grown up and will take care of herself, so don't worry about it." Look, isn't that good for me? ”
Chu Jiayin got out of bed again, turned around in front of the bed, and her skirt unscrewed like a flower.
Fortunately, the injuries were all under the clothes, otherwise my grandmother would have seen it, and she would not have had the opportunity to go out in the future.
"How can you go out and not say a word to your grandmother? Do you know how worried grandmothers are? Old Madam Chu gasped and cried a little.
Chu Jiayin hurriedly came over to comfort: "Grandmother, aren't I afraid that you will worry?" I went out for two days to see the world. ”
Originally, I didn't see my grandmother for two days, and my grandmother wouldn't suspect anything. But the girl Peach Blossom couldn't hide it, and when she saw that Chu Jiayin was still outside at night, she panicked, and rushed to Fu'an Hall to report the news, leaving Chu Jiayin's instructions behind and forgetting them completely, so she betrayed her.
As soon as the old lady heard the news, she must have been in a hurry, so she got up in the middle of the night and beckoned someone to go out to find Chu Jiayin. Fortunately, Mrs. Chu remembered what Chu Jiayin told her a while ago, and didn't let outsiders know what she was doing this time.
"What kind of world do you see? Usually if there is anything going on in other prefectures, don't they all let you go and join in the fun, this is not enough? "Old Mrs. Chu is a typical lady, and after entering the Chu family, she is a housewife, this gate, she can't get out of her life a few times, and she doesn't understand how good the flower world outside is.
"Grandmother, it's different."
Old Madam Chu glanced at her and asked, "Who are you going with?" ”
"I ......" Chu Jiayin originally wanted to mention Chu Jingyan's name, but when she thought that her grandmother was not satisfied with her going out without permission this time, she had been quite complaining about Chu Jingyan before. If you confess him at this time, I'm afraid it won't be good?
Old Madam Chu snorted and said, "If you don't say it, grandmother also knows that it must be your second brother." You went out this time, it couldn't be that he instigated it, right? ”
"How is that possible? I wanted to go out on my own, and there was no one around to accompany me, so I called him. "Of course, it's impossible to call anyone else, except for the second brother, it's unreliable for anyone to know about her finding a stinky Taoist.
"No one? Aren't your other brothers brothers? But whoever goes out with you is your cousins, and your grandmother will not have a sleepless night and be afraid. Old Madam Chu said with a sad face.
Chu Jiayin pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "My elder brothers, where can they be more reliable than the second elder brother?" Their poetry, calligraphy, etiquette and music are not as good as the second brother's attainments, and they have no achievements in martial arts. If I call them out with me, will I be able to come back in good shape? ”
"You just protect Chu Jingyan."
"Grandmother, you can't have so many prejudices against your second brother just because he is not from our family. Uncle and aunt, they also said, "You used to be very fond of your uncle." If you don't believe in your second brother, can't you trust your eldest uncle? Chu Jiayin hugged Old Madam Chu's arm and shook it, vowing to shake her until she couldn't do anything about it.
"Okay, okay. Grandmother is afraid of you, your second brother is very good, grandmother should not have prejudices against him. "Old Madam Chu would say such things completely out of her love for Chu Jiayin, but in fact, she didn't know how deep her scruples about Chu Jingyan were.
Chu Jiayin was happy, although she couldn't make her grandmother fully accept the second brother, but her grandmother can now open her mouth to praise Chu Jingyan, even if it is hypocritical, it can be regarded as a plan to make the second brother integrate into this family to a higher level.
"Grandmother, you know, I went out and learned a lot from my second brother this time. I also got a lot of food in the mountains and forests. Chu Jiayin said.
After leaving the old man's hut, Chu Jiayin and Chu Jingyan went to the river to pick a lot of bracken and catch a lot of fish and small crabs.
"You're going to the mountains?" Old Madam Chu was startled again.
Chu Jiayin was unhappy and said, "Grandmother, we don't go into the mountains, it's not dangerous." Besides, isn't it safest in this world where there are no people? Look at our house, after adding that beautiful sister, it will be a few days before the chickens and dogs jump. ”
"Humph! If it weren't for your father's obsession, grandmother would have blasted Chu Yun's mother and son out of the capital a long time ago. Old Madam Chu said.
"Grandmother, look, when there was only a second brother in the family before, there wasn't so much chaos, right? So the second brother is much better than Chu Yun and her mother? At least the second brother doesn't make trouble for us, he is quiet every day, he doesn't eat much, and he fights for our Chu family......"
"Stop, tell me again, I'm going to think you're talking about your husband." Old Madam Chu snorted and shook her head helplessly, this matter is over, and she doesn't dare to blame Chu Jingyan for something in front of her precious granddaughter.
Chu Jiayin happily jumped out of bed and slipped out of the door.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to get you a little crab and a small fish for your grandmother, I caught it with my second brother, it's delicious." Chu Jiayin turned back, and said Mrs. Chu, who was lying on the opposite side of the door.
As soon as they came back, they sent the ingredients to the kitchen of the Chu family, and the dishes made by the chef were definitely more fragrant than only oil and salt in the wild.
Thinking of this, even Chu Jiayin himself couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
When she went out, Chu Jiayin had to continue to pretend to be a little maid, and she couldn't let Chu Yun know that she was okay. She also wants to pretend to be a ghost to scare Chu Yun.
Originally, he said that he would visit her tonight, but the second brother said that the timing was not good, and the two of them were not in good shape, so it was postponed to tomorrow night.
At this time, in Qingzhuju, the man in black came again.
When Chu Jingyan saw him coming, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You will find it very well, you can find it wherever I move." ”
"The young master hasn't moved too closely, isn't this still the same place he used to live. It's just that compared to Linglong Pavilion, this place is really too simple. The man in black said.
"Come and talk to me today?" Chu Jingyan asked, although he needed a lot of time to study the art of war, but because he had no friends and people to talk to in this world, he was happy to spend some time chatting with someone who was willing to talk to him.
If even communicating with people is a problem, no matter how thoroughly he can see the scrolls of paper on this shelf, it is just a matter of talking. Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years.
"Pretty much, after all, you're not worth me doing anything else right now." Humane in black.
Chu Jingyan heard the meaning of his voice, disgusted that he was not talented enough, and his ability was not strong? Or is he too young to be mature enough to take on any responsibilities?
"What do you want to talk about?"
The man in black sat on the window with his arms crossed, Chu Jingyan dropped the book and stood by the bookshelf with his arms crossed, the two of them looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
"You went out two days ago, not to help that little girl of the Chu family find some Taoist priest, right?" The man in black looked at him, and the teasing smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Chu Jingyan's body stiffened suddenly, his eyes darkened for a while, his eyes were locked, and his eyes locked on the man in black, and asked, "You have been with us for the past two days?" ”
"Yes, follow you, see you pretending to be stupid, knowing that something is wrong but still not saying a word, and deceiving the little girl of the Chu family didn't go home for two days. As early as when you went to the south of the city, you should have noticed it, and it was just a futile effort to find some Taoist priest from the underworld. ”
Chu Jingyan's hand holding his arm, his nails pinched a little into the flesh, and his arm ached faintly. He sneered, "What does this have to do with you? ”
Chu Jingyan was actually disgusted with his days in the Chu family, and every time he went out, he didn't want to come back. If it weren't for the fact that after leaving the Chu family, it would be difficult for him, a person with an unknown background, to survive and get ahead, he really wanted to stay away from this mansion forever when he stepped out of the gate of the Chu family.
This time he went out with Chu Jiayin, and it was the only time he could control the opportunity to go out for how long and where to go. Instead of the past, there was a banquet to invite young talents, the Chu family arranged, the car was sent to the car to pick it up, and even the scenery on the road could not be seen.
The fluttering feeling of leaving the Chu family, he really wanted to have it all the time, but he said it. When Chu Jiayin asked him if he wanted to live an idyllic life, he said that he didn't want to. He is not willing to be ordinary, he has been polluted with dirt by the world, so he can only continue to be dirty.
The dirty world needs money, fame and status, and aside from the Chu family, he may not even have the opportunity to participate in the banquet to open his eyes. He wanted to break away from the Chu family, but not at this time.
So this time, he was quiet enough outside, and he went back.
"Okay, it's none of my business." The man in black laughed, like an adult laughing at a child's childishness.
Although Chu Jingyan is only a teenager, he has grown up as a teenager in the past two years, and he does things cleanly and neatly without dragging his feet, and he will go according to his calculations in everything, and he will never do anything stupid. Two days ago, it was the first time since the man in black monitored him that he used his own selfish interests to calculate what to use to deceive Chu Jiayin.
In the end, Chu Jiayin was stupid enough to think that her second brother was really willing to help her find an enemy.
"Young master, the Northern Zhou is going to fight South Vietnam." The man in black said suddenly, carelessly, as if it didn't matter, but he just wanted to remind Chu Jingyan, no one knew what purpose he had in mind to say this.
Chu Jingyan looked at him for a long time before he came up with a sentence that was not salty or light: "What does this have to do with me?" Heh-is it possible, this Northern Zhou is my mother's home country? ”
If the man in black really had something to do with Chu Jingyan, Chu Jingyan thought that his home country was probably the Qianguo, not the Northern Zhou Dynasty. What if it doesn't? If this man in black had been lying to him from beginning to end......
