Chapter 375, Returning Home

The copper and iron of more than a dozen large ships were drifted in this way. After Prime Minister Zhang Cheng found out, he scolded Uncle Guoguo, and then scolded Mrs. Chu: "Relying on your own prestige, hum!" ”

It's useless to scold, this famous old puppet has many protΓ©gΓ©s, and he has to move a few times when he coughs, but he is very loyal and patriotic.

Prime Minister Zhang couldn't shake Mrs. Chu, so he could only use the original method and often speak ill of Mrs. Chu in front of Empress Dowager Zhang.

Empress Dowager Zhang is a young woman, the first emperor is not there, the emperor's son is young, and he is close to Chu Taifu and King Liang. Her mother's family often came in to accompany Empress Dowager Zhang, and Empress Dowager Zhang also felt that she should take care of them.

The closest person in the world is still his mother's family, isn't it?

Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the remnants of the funeral have been replaced in the palace and the glory has been restored. On the birthday of the Empress Dowager Zhang, when the Zhang family offered jewelry, which attracted the love of the Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhang Cheng said humbly to her: "The Empress Dowager is the blessing of the Zhang family, and the minister is getting older and older, I only hope that the youngest son can get more love from the Empress Dowager." ”

"The second brother's kung fu is getting better and better, and the last time he showed me, it scared me out of the blue. The prime minister doesn't have to worry, I want to let him go to the army, so as not to cause trouble at home often. Empress Dowager Zhang said, Prime Minister Zhang immediately knelt down and thanked him: "The minister has two sons, the eldest son has been made a marquis, and the second son likes to dance with knives and guns since he was a child." He loves his young son and does not want him to be far away. Ask the Queen Mother, there is something to bring troops in this capital, show him something. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang asked the princess: "Is there anything about leading troops in Beijing?" The second brother went too far, and I was reluctant. It's in Beijing, find him an envoy. ”

Wang Gonggong replied: "The Command Division of Soldiers and Horses in Beijing will protect the safety of Kyoto." Uncle Guo is the most appropriate to receive this military power. With the escort of the country's uncle, the queen mother is also relieved to sleep peacefully. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang agreed, and when the emperor brought his ministers to congratulate him on his birthday, Empress Dowager Zhang said to the emperor in person: "The prime minister said, please ask Uncle Liang to take power, Uncle Xiaoguo is in charge of this, can you rest assured?" ”

The emperor turned around and looked at King Liang and Taifu Chu, King Liang was in power, and he was fixed: "It turns out that the little prince of Zhongshan is in power very well, and there is no need to replace it." Chu Taifu came to admonish: "There is a war on the border, and Uncle Guo can go to the army." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang turned her face and was furious: "You have to talk about everything, a few palace maids enter the palace, you say that the people are working hard and hurting money, and if you don't let people out of the palace, you will enter the people, which seems to be unvirtuous." This matter, you came up again, what, don't you worry? ”

Mrs. Chu said: "Relatives can't be in charge of the army, please think twice." Prime Minister Zhang Cheng knelt down and had tears: "Originally, the minister wanted to ask King Liang to take charge of the military power, and Xiao'er was the deputy to train." Now that he is suspicious of the Taifu, the minister is unbearable to be humiliated, please ask the queen mother and the emperor to let the minister return to his hometown. ”

The table suddenly cooled down, and Empress Dowager Zhang had always been very different from Mrs. Chu for such and such things. The queen mother is respectful, and if she doesn't want to sit down, there will be a few more envoys, and Mrs. Chu will also say, believe in Buddhism, and Mrs. Chu will also say it. The Empress Dowager Zhang, who had always been unhappy and had provocations by the prince and Prime Minister Zhang Cheng around her, had a big attack today and began to scold in front of the emperor and hundreds of officials.

The emperor was pure and filial, and when he saw his mother like this, he was in a dilemma. Prime Minister Zhang Cheng knelt on the ground and cried, and the two uncles and the ladies of the Zhang family who came to the palace to congratulate him on his birthday also knelt on the ground and cried together: "I can't bear this humiliation." ”

King Liang was embarrassed, if he spoke, it would be like he wanted to take more military power. As the emperor's uncle, King Liang can see that the emperor is smart, and he has always avoided things that will be suspicious.

Mrs. Chu was suddenly attacked by Prime Minister Zhang today and suffered a humiliation in the palace.

After a few days of sullen at home, the family did not dare to alarm. On this day, after King Liang asked the door to persuade him, Mrs. Chu eased his mind a little, thinking that he hadn't seen his grandson for two days, so he went to Mrs. Chu's room to see the two grandsons.

When I went to the door, I saw Mrs. Chu teaching her daughter-in-law a lesson. Mrs. Chu stopped and almost laughed when he heard it.

Old Madam Chu said: "I'm older, I don't ask you what to do, I just ask you to give me another great-grandson." It's been another three years, why haven't you moved. If you don't get pregnant again, I will release someone in Huaixian's room. ”

This kind of release words, Mrs. Chu herself knew that no one believed it when she said it, even she didn't believe it herself, but as soon as she saw that Xiao Chu was not pregnant, she couldn't help but say it.

Xiao Chu said aggrievedly: "I drank a lot of medicine, and my son also drank it," and then lowered his voice: "It's just nothing." Old Madam Chu sighed: "Childe doesn't need to drink, he has two children, do you still want to drink this?" ”

Xiao Chu said in a low voice: "Yes, there are two children." "The person who has two children is not right in front of him.

When Mrs. Chu heard this, she couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, oops, I'm a lot older, I can't see my hometown, I just want to see another great-grandson, why are you so uncompetitive." Old Madam Chu complained about the heavens and the earth. She is a lot older this year, and she often says that she is too lazy to move. Only when I saw Brother Yu and Brother Ji who were jumping around would I smile from ear to ear.

Seeing Mrs. Chu coming in, Mrs. Chu seemed to have a backbone, pointed at Mrs. Chu and said, "You tell her that I want to see another great-grandson." Then he continued to complain: "I can't see my hometown anymore, I can't move when I'm old, give it to my great-grandson." ”

Mrs. Chu smiled and instructed Xiao Chu: "You go back." "Come and persuade Mrs. Chu again, persuade and persuade, Mrs. Chu suddenly said: "Mother, don't say the old words. Get a boat, and I'll accompany you back to your hometown for a few days. ”

It just so happened that there was such a thing as the Queen Mother in front of him, and Mrs. Chu was depressed and wanted to change places to dissipate her mood.

"Are you willing to go?" Old Madam Chu didn't believe it. Chu Taifu said: "With King Liang here, it doesn't matter. ”

When the news came out, King Liang thought about it for an afternoon after hearing it. Finally, I came to see Mrs. Chu: "It's right to advance and retreat." "There is no Mrs. Chu in the capital, so let the Empress Dowager Zhang taste it. Since the death of the first emperor, which one is not after the discussion between the Taifu of Chu and the king of Liang.

Mrs. Chu shook her head and stroked her beard: "I am in my twilight years, and it is not easy to do something for my mother that she likes." ”

When he entered the palace to say goodbye, the emperor was reluctant: "Master is going, how long will it take to come back?" Mrs. Chu smiled: "Come back in a year." The emperor shook his head unhappily: "Half a year." Mrs. Chu was not without emotion: "The managers of the various ministries in Beijing are clear, the emperor is smart, and the ministers are also worry-free." ”

"Eight months, then." The little emperor sighed: "Go early and return early." ”

There was an endless stream of people from the Chu family who came to see them off, and people who were reluctant to give up. Zhang Cheng got along and also came to the door to give a generous gift. Empress Dowager Zhang also rewarded it and gave a sentence: "Come back early, the emperor still can't do without you." ”

The third lady and the third master stayed in Beijing, and the second master was willing to go back with his family because Chu Huaide was too nostalgic for the Lou family. Chu Huaide said goodbye to Aunt Lou in tears, very helpless.

A big boat went smoothly, and in the crisp autumn season, Mrs. Chu took Mrs. Chu and took the family home. After spending the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing in late August, the family returned to their original place in September.

Xiao Chu stood on the bow of the boat and sighed with emotion. When I went to Beijing, I and Xiaoyi only had two sisters, and now I am back to bring my family.

"Go take care of your grandmother and get off the boat, what are you doing in a daze." Chu Huaixian said, Xiao Chu agreed with a smile on his face, and saw that Brother Yu and Brother Ji were running crazy with a windmill in their hands, so they hurriedly grabbed one and handed it to the nurse: "Take care of them, don't fall into the river." ”

Brother Yu sniffed: "Mother, get off the boat and I'm going to climb the mountain." Brother Ji followed behind to see what was going on: "I'm going to climb a mountain, and I'm going to climb a tree." ”

"Don't take my word for it." Brother Yu said loudly to his younger brother, Brother Ji didn't give an inch, and said even louder: "How can I learn your words, I said to climb trees, did you say climb trees?" ”

Brother Yu was speechless and grimaced at Brother Ji. Brother Ji smiled and complained: "Mother, my brother scared me again." He said that he would run to Mrs. Chu and tell her, "My brother scared me again." ”

There was Mrs. Chu standing next to her, and Brother Ji also told her: "Brother scares me." And that wasn't the end of it, he trotted to his grandfather's side, tugging at his clothes with his little hands: "Grandfather, grandfather, brother is like this again," and then stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes, learning to make a grimace.

Brother Yu ran over: "It's not like this, it's like this." He also stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes, making a grimace that was different from Brother Yu'er.

Chu Huaixian straightened his face: "Get off the boat, be safe." ”

Mrs. Chu smiled and pulled one up with one hand: "Let's get off the boat, the family has a big garden, and my grandfather will play with you." The two little brothers, one left and one right, accompanied Mrs. Chu off the boat.

Behind was Chu Huaixian and others accompanying Mrs. Chu to get off the boat. The carriage was waiting early, and everyone got on the carriage and headed for the other courtyard.

Xiaoyi and Xiaochu sat together, elated: "Tomorrow I will go to see Brother Da You, go to see the fifth aunt, and go to see ......." The autumn wind blew, and Xiao Chu smiled leisurely: "You don't say a few words, now you are not the most noisy ghost, it is best for you to say less." ”

"The most noisy little ghost is in Uncle Chu's sedan chair." Xiao Yi pointed forward, and Xiao Chu seemed to be able to hear the sound of giggling from the sedan chair.

When the carriage arrived outside the gate of the courtyard, Brother Yu said loudly in the sedan chair first: "We have arrived, live in the sedan chair!" Followed by Brother Ji'er's voice: "Live in a sedan chair!" ”

"You're learning my word again!" Brother Yu said, Brother Ji said unceremoniously: "Who made you always say in front of me!" Next time, slow down! The sedan curtain opened, and Brother Yu, who came out first, looked unhappy, followed by Brother Ji, who said that he won his brother, today he said that he won his brother, and Mrs. Chu finally smiled, just looking at the two grandsons, the smile deepened again.

The Pang steward of the other courtyard then walked inside, looked at the two little brothers running in front, and carefully looked at Lin Xiaochu, the young lady of Chu.

In the past few years, this one is not idle. got the son into bed and gave birth to two children. The sky is high here, and the emperor is far away, and some family members talk about rumors about how Xiao Chu got into the bed of his son.

I got off the boat in the morning, everything was arranged and lunched, and Xiao Chu couldn't bear to sleep. Seeing that Chu Huaixian went to the front to watch and clean up, she walked in the garden alone.

I haven't been here in this garden for several years, but when I look at it today, the red leaves seem to be dyed, and the red flowers are like drunk. Xiao Chu took a deep breath and looked up at the magnolia tree he had climbed. There are no flowers on the tree anymore, but green leaves and red aggregate fruits.

was watching, and Chu Huaixian's voice came from behind him: "I can't see you in the room, so I know you're here." Chu Huaixian smiled: "In memory of you stealing flowers back then?" ”

"You still say, if you didn't suddenly appear here, how could I have fallen." Xiao Chujiao mentioned the old things in disgust, and came over to beat Chu Huaixian again. Chu Huaixian smiled, hugged Xiao Chu into his arms, and also looked up at the tall and fresh magnolia tree: "Speaking of which, this is you and my matchmaker." ”

Xiao Chu looked at him and didn't forget to make fun of him: "In that case, Mo Shoubei and Sun Erhai are all our matchmakers." ”

"Yes, the old people back then were all matchmakers for you and me. Of course, the one who contributed the most was the straw bag in Kyori. Chu Huaixian said, Xiao Chu smiled: "The emperor has an autumn festival this year, do you say he won't be successful?" ”

Chu Huaixian laughed: "He will win?" After snorting twice, he said, "I'll send him to a barren land." In Xiao Chu's laughter, Chu Huaixian took a deep breath and suddenly asked Xiao Chu: "Is it okay to marry me?" ”

Xiao Chu's two eyes looked left and right: "Am I telling the truth?" Or is it a lie? ”
