Chapter 400: Back then
Chu Yuanqing heard her say that her mother-in-law and husband treated her well, and she had some doubts in her heart.
With her background, how good can she expect others to treat her??
But when I heard her say that she had given birth to a son, it was clear again.
Heirs are the key to the life of a woman in the back house, especially for someone like her with a poor background, and she must have an heir.
"Pick a name?" Chu Yuanqing smiled helplessly: "Choosing a name is a big deal, how can I do it well?" It should have been taken by my brother-in-law himself. ”
Zheng Qingyi hated to recognize the relationship with Chu Yuanqing's cousin as a brother and sister.
Naturally, how to be intimate and how to come.
Wen Yan smiled and said: "Cousin thinks about it a lot, we are a family, you are the child's uncle, and it is natural to choose a name." ”
Chu Yuanqing listened to the intimacy in and out of her words, as if they had never been separated for all these years, and they had grown up together as children.
The smile in his eyes flashed even more: "Since my cousin has spoken, I should do my best as an uncle, and when I think about it carefully, I will choose a good name for my nephew." ”
Zheng Qingyi responded with a smile.
Gao on the side listened for a while and wondered: "Why didn't you see your brother-in-law here today?" ”
is extremely important, how can you not hang out with her relatives and friends?
Chu Yuanqing secretly said that it was really his good wife, and this sentence went straight to his heart.
Zheng Qingyi looked at Gao's and his smile remained unchanged: "He didn't know I was coming." As he spoke, he looked back at Chu Yuanqing: "When my cousin goes to my house as a guest, I will surprise him." ”
Chu Yuanqing is naturally willing to operate more contacts in Beijing.
Listening to her say that she was a guest, Shuangli should go.
After a moment of greeting, Gao asked a lot of questions.
Gao's is not as tactful as Chu Yuanqing, and every question has a hidden feeling of making Zheng Qingyi exposed.
She didn't dare to say more, nor did she dare to stay longer, so she asked for her farewell under the pretext that the child was at home.
Before leaving, he smiled and said, "I will send someone to pick up my cousin and sister-in-law tomorrow." ”
The two of them should get off and watch the carriage go away, and then they walked to the house full of doubts.
Gao muttered: "The address of a mansion is so mysterious, can't we find it?" I want to pick it up, I don't know what the hell is going on! Then he asked him, "When did you have such a cousin?" How come I've never heard you mention it? ”
Chu Yuanqing walked with his head down, and replied casually when he heard the words: "It happened many years ago, and I felt unlucky, so I didn't tell you." ”
Gao was even more puzzled: "Why is it unlucky?" What is it? ”
Chu Yuanqing looked at his wife's posture of breaking the casserole and asking to the end, so he had to say: "My cousin's father, Sun Heng, was originally the prefect of Xuzhou, and you also know that Xuzhou is the fief of Xu Anhou. Xu Anhou was already very wary of Sun Heng sent by the imperial court, and wanted to change a person he trusted to be the prefect, but he never had the opportunity. ”
"Once my cousin drank too much wine at a banquet, and took advantage of the wine to write a poem, which not only alluded to the mediocrity of today, but was not as capable and resourceful as several other princes, but also pointed out that Xu Anhou was tyrannical and indulged in the evil of the people in the family."
When Xu Anhou learned about the poem, he was immediately furious, but he did not attack, but transmitted the content of the poem to the capital. However, after a month, the cousin's family was either beheaded or sold, and was defeated. ”
Gao was horrified when he heard this.
Then he remembered the conversation between Chu Yuanqing and his cousin just now, and frowned: "Your cousin was sold back then?!" ”
Chu Yuanqing nodded.
Gao's brows furrowed even deeper: "Since it is such an identity, who will marry the main family?" As he spoke, the two of them walked back to the small hall, looked at the large and small gift boxes, and said: "What she brought are all valuables, and the confidence between her words is not like an outer room or a concubine's room." ”
Chu Yuanqing was also puzzled.
In the conversation just now, although his cousin was as close to him as in the past, the concealment between her words made Chu Yuanqing feel strange.
Let the little guy inquire, whose wife's surname is Sun in Beijing, who was born in a thin horse.
The little guy has only been in the capital for a few days, and he didn't know anything, so he went for most of the day before he came back, shook his head and said: "There are many wives surnamed Sun in Beijing, but none of them are from thin horses. ”
Gao Shihu said suspiciously: "She can't be lying to us, right?" ”
Chu Yuanqing looked at the gift list sorted out, more than 20 pieces, all of which were precious things.
frowned and said, "Who deceived people and gave generous gifts?" And what good can she do by lying to me? ”
Gao was speechless.
Chu Yuanqing was also puzzled, looked at Gao's bother, and said, "Don't think about it, let's go to the banquet tomorrow, and everything will be known by then." ”
Gao nodded.
Thinking about the clothes my cousin was wearing, I was busy rummaging through the cabinets again.
I secretly thought that tomorrow must not be compared!
The next day, Wang Lu went to Changle Fang to pick up Chu Yuanqing and Gao.
The carriage stopped, Wang Lu set up his pedals, respectfully invited the two to get into the carriage, and then went all the way back to the Hou Mansion.
Gao got out of the carriage first, looked up at the plaque, and it turned out to be the Hou Mansion.
A thin horse was born, and she is still the daughter of a criminal minister, can she be favored by the Hou Ye?? Gao secretly said that this Hou Ye is not a blind man, right?
Retracted his gaze, stroked the subtle folds on his clothes, and asked the maid Xiaolian beside him, "Is my clothes messy?" Is the hairpin crooked? ”
Xiaolian looked up and down, shook her head and said softly, "Madame is very beautiful today." ”
Gao smiled and sighed quietly.
Chu Yuanqing got out of the carriage and was startled when he saw the plaque of the Marquis of Pingsu.
Is the person my cousin married to the Marquis of Pingsu?!
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, he suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard about Gyeongjung when he was in Gyeongju.
For the sake of a prostitute named Zheng Qingyi, the Marquis of Pingsu forced his wife to divorce!
Is Zheng Qingyi's sister Sun Qingyi the prostitute?!
Chu Yuanqing never thought that his cousin would change his surname!
After entering Beijing, he has been busy with the work report, and he has not taken care of the matter of exploring Bepfu, but the affairs of the Marquis of Pingsu have spread outside Beijing, even if he does not inquire, he also knows that the Marquis of Pingsu's Mansion is now as if it is covered with dung, and no one wants to be contaminated with the stench.
He had the feeling that he had come to the wrong place.
Suddenly, Chu Yuanqing understood why his cousin was hiding it yesterday.
The gatehouse was waiting for Wen Yin and Zhichun, and when they saw the Gao family getting out of the carriage, they were busy welcoming people into the house.
Here Chu Yuanqing came back to his senses, and the Gao clan had already crossed the threshold.
It's impossible to call it back again, and it's all here, and it's even more inappropriate to not enter the door.
Wang Lu saw the look on Chu Yuanqing's face, and said with a cool smile: "Lord Chu, Mrs. Hou and Master Hou are already waiting for you, please." ”
Chu Yuanqing reined in his thoughts, nodded lightly, and kept up with Gao's footsteps.
With the deliberate management of Mrs. Lao Hou and Wang Lu's spare effort, the relationship between Zheng Qingyi and Chu Yuanqing soon spread throughout Beijing.
Chu Yuanqing watched the situation get more and more serious, panicked, and secretly felt that things were about to change!
I couldn't wait for Gyeongju to send the silver, so I hurriedly went to see Cheng Zhi.
When he arrived at Cheng's Mansion, he was told by Steward Zhou that Cheng Zhi was busy and could not see him.
