Chapter 409, Engagement

Mrs. Chu's coffin was parked at home for many days, and Mrs. Chu and her son helped the coffin and took the family to the family temple. This noble lady, who has lived in the Gaomen mansion all her life, has children and grandchildren, and she went decently.

The palace was rewarded richly and gave quite high privileges. Mrs. Chu took his son to the palace to say goodbye, so as to express his worries: "The minister dare not compare with Huo Guang, and the minister dares to guarantee that the minister's family is not the Huo family, and the emperor and the queen mother are so favorable, which makes the minister worried." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang only listened to the play, and didn't know what Huo Guang was, so the emperor explained it again to understand. This time, the Queen Mother was not confused, and her face was very ugly: "This is someone who wants to force the Taifu out of Beijing again." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang, who had the experience of driving Taifu Chu out of Beijing once, didn't want to have the experience of being locked up in the cold palace again. She can make a comparison herself, Prime Minister Zhang is not as powerful as Mrs. Chu, and she can engage in rebellion. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is the national ruler, but in contrast, if Mrs. Chu has a different heart, he will not leave Beijing.

The Queen Mother issued an edict and gave Mrs. Chu special treatment during her funeral, and at the same time, King Liang tracked down the rumors to let the rumors subside.

It was another year of spring flowers, Chu Huaixian took Xiao Chu and his family to sweep the grave of Mrs. Chu, and in front of his grandmother's grave, the children ran away laughing. Chu Huaixian stood in front of the grave and talked to his grandmother: "Huaide is older, she will make ghosts, and she will bully the second aunt, the second aunt is going to make trouble when she sees that the sky is going to make trouble, and her parents persuaded her to live in Xiangzhi, and beat Huaide again, which is considered to be an ansheng." I'm okay with your granddaughter-in-law, but I'll never give birth again. ”

Xiao Chu pretended to be ashamed next to him, and then thought that the people underground could see that it was pretending, so he quickly raised his face again, and he was honestly unhappy. Chu Huaixian patted her on the head, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "If my grandmother is here, I will definitely give me two people." ”

Spring is like weaving, Xiao Chu hugged Chu Huaixian's arm and said to Mrs. Chu's grave: "Brother Yu can dance a set of swords, Brother Ji also wants to dance, better than brother, but it is not a set." Lianqing is more likable, often sleeping with us and reluctant to sleep on her own. Chu Huaixian couldn't help laughing: "So you don't have children, this is your granddaughter-in-law looking for a reason." ”

Xiao Chu pouted: "It's a fact." Chu Huaixian said deliberately: "If you can't give birth, forget it, and blame Lianqing." Xiao Chu blinked: "I can't give birth, it's a matter of the son." Chu Huaixian raised his hand, and Xiao Chu hurriedly changed his words: "It's my business, it's all my fault, where can I blame you." ”

One person took a step back and muttered, "When will I become such a husband slave and be so good at coaxing him?" "Well, I guess I succumbed to force. In the spring breeze, Xiao Chu, who was promoted to Mrs. Chu, thought about the peach blossoms, and her cheeks were still young like peaches.

The children grow up year by year, and it is the season for roses to bloom, so Xiao Chu asked him to find Chu Huaixian: "Please come over and discuss things." "The sons are older, Chu Shangshu has become an adult at home, and the title of "son" was given to Brother Yu and Brother Ji.

The girls around her are also changing one by one, and now they are girls Xiaolu and Xiaohong, Xiaohong took the order and left, and said after a while: "The master has not gone down to the court yet." ”

Xiao Chu knocked on his forehead with the thing in his hand: "Sure enough, I was confused, and I forgot about him going up." "The thing in her hand is a sticker. What Mrs. Chu Xiaochu was embarrassed about was to set up a relationship for Brother Yu and Brother Ji.

On the small table carved with pomegranate flowers, there are not a few or several, but a stack of stickers. Xiao Chu frowned and looked at it again, and muttered in his mouth: "King Zhongnan, King Zhongshan, Lord Zhuang, King Liang's brother-in-law, ...... sixteenth princess"

The sons are too lovable, and there are also disadvantages. Xiao Chu felt that his head was big, and asked again: "Has Lord Bachelor come back?" This kind of offending thing is best left to Master Chu, who has just received the scholar of Wenhuadian University.

Xiao Lu had been watching outside, and when he heard Chu Huaixian coming back, he ran back and told Xiao Chu: "The master is back." Xiao Chu also used to run, picked up his skirt with both hands and went outside. When he met Chen next to the flower shelf, Chen only greeted: "Where is my sister-in-law?" Xiao Chu nodded and ran away.

This is the most unpleasant place for Chen's Xiaochu, and he still runs? You should smile without showing your teeth, and you should not show your feet. But Chen is curious, what is the matter with the sister-in-law running like this? Chen followed behind to see, she walked slowly, and quietly followed the girl along the path that Xiao Chu walked.

Standing still under the flower wall, he saw that everyone on the second gate was solemn, and his uncle Chu Huaixian came. The Chen family is not without envy, the uncle has been promoted again, and Huaide is only a five-rank official, and he is one of the officials who have caught a lot of money in Beijing.

Seeing the uncle coming, his steps were steady, and his face was more steady. The older Chu Huaixian gets, the more reluctant he is, but when he sees his wife Xiao Chu, he is an exception.

Xiao Chu ran over, hugged Chu Huaixian's neck with both hands, and kissed it. The peeping Chen turned his face away in shame, and the girl who followed Chen was embarrassed. Seeing this couple standing in the sun and embracing each other, Chu Huaixian put his arms around his wife's waist, kissed him, and pinched the waist, teasing: "This is thin, it's belted, right?" You, I like you to be fat. ”

"I don't believe you, how can anyone like fat people." Xiao Chu had a bitter face, the mother of three children must be a little fat. After a bitter face, he pulled Chu Huaixian back to the room: "It's good that you're back, go and see the post, your old lover," paused at this point, seeing that the people with him were all far away, and there was no one nearby, Xiao Chu shrank his head and smiled before continuing: "The sixteenth princess, there is also a post here, what, do you want to be in-laws with her?" Xiao Chu stood on tiptoe, Chu Huaixian bowed down willingly, and let Xiao Chu kiss him on the cheek. The mother of the three children said mischievously: "I don't like this family. ”

"I don't like it either, being in-laws with her, I want to listen to you every day." Chu Huaixian smiled: "Go back and let me see who they are." ”

The husband and wife came back and sat on the couch to read the post.

"In Zhongnan's palace, there is a girl who is the same age as Brother Yu'er, but she is the same age and is not easy to discipline." The Chen siblings are an example, as are the third lady and the third master. The two are of the same age, and the two are fighting to be the master, so there are constant quarrels in the room, and no one obeys the other.

This is Chu Huaixian's idea, but Xiao Chu disagreed: "It's good to be quite old, like you are two years older than me, you have enough strength, and you raise your hand when you have nothing to do, how bad is it." Chu Huaixian smiled ambiguously: "Sometimes, I will let you too, otherwise tonight," he said quietly: "Yu Shi Xing Laosan said to me, it is easy to have children in a different position." Tonight, it's all up to you. ”

Just said that Chu Huaixian likes to raise his hand, Xiao Chu heard this and raised his hand to beat Chu Huaixian without thinking, Chu Huaixian didn't care about the itch, and he wouldn't complain that Xiao Chu loved to raise his hand. He looked at the stickers in his hand one by one, and said with a smile: "In my opinion, please ask your parents to take up ideas." ”

"I think so too," Xiao Chu smiled, and by the way, he bought Chu Huaixian's good: "But I have to ask you before I can make a decision." Otherwise, it doesn't pass you. This delicate face, as if it was the same as when they first met, Chu Huaixian's heart was moved for a while, he hugged Xiao Chu to the room, and said in a low voice: "Although it is not at night, I will listen to you." ”

Brother Ji went to find Brother Yu, but he was flustered: "It's terrible, big brother, my father wants to promise you to the daughter of the sixteenth princess." Brother Yu was writing, and when he heard it, he swept his hand and flipped the inkstone belt on the table to the ground. He didn't care about the mess, and asked hurriedly, "Is it true?" ”

"I heard my father come back and say to my mother that the daughter of the sixteenth princess is a virtuous person, and asked my mother, this is for your daughter-in-law, so that you can like it well." Chu Huaixian was joking with his wife, and when he heard it in Brother Ji'er's ears, it became true.

Brother Yu pointed to his face and said to Brother Ji: "My face is not as earth-colored." Brother Ji glanced at it a few times, ran outside and came in again, holding a handful of soil in his hand and handing it over: "Here, paint this soil to call it earthy." ”

"What to do? What should I do," Brother Yu jumped in the room, and suddenly grabbed Brother Ji'er's shoulder: "Good brother, you want her for your brother,"

When Brother Ji heard this, he also put on an earth-colored expression, and took back the soil in his hand: "I, let's use it myself." ”

In the room, Brother Yu persuaded her: "The princess has made the eldest princess, and the queen mother thinks that she is the princess that the emperor likes, and she is rewarded a lot all year round." ”

Brother Ji desperately resisted: "But the princess's daughter is the best at spending money and ruining things." ”

"The daughter of the eldest princess is like a flower,"

"But she soaks in the hot spring water all day long, and her body is covered with things, my mother, like a living ghost."

After a verbal battle between the two brothers, Brother Ji quietly stepped back: "Big brother, this matter, the younger brother can't help you." Brother Yu didn't give up: "Otherwise, let's listen to it again, maybe my parents don't mean that." ”

The two went to their parents and said they were asleep. After dinner in the evening, the two brothers quietly went to eavesdrop on their parents' conversations, and listened to their father: "Whether it's the daughter of Prince Xiao Zhao, or the daughter of King Zhong Nan, there are many girls here, give Brother Yu one and then Brother Ji." ”

The two brothers were shocked when they heard this, and quietly retreated to the room where the brothers lived, you look at me, I look at you, Brother Yu let out a breath and said: "The daughter of Prince Xiao Zhao? ”

"The one who can make the double sword, big brother, when you are in the cave, you can have a sword meeting." Brother Ji grinned. Brother Yu glanced at him, and then said quickly: "Then the one below is for you." King Zhongnan's daughter, I heard that she can open a strong bow, and that arm must be as thick as a bucket. If you want her, in the cave room, you can run a horse on her arm. ”

Brother Yu, who was already poor, ignored his younger brother's ugly face, and then went poor: "Otherwise, if you marry the daughter of the sixteenth eldest princess, you will have to change ten sets of clothes a day, not counting the inner clothes." ”

"Big brother, you even know other people's clothes, so it's better for you to marry her." Brother Ji protested quietly. Listening to Brother Yu'er's words, his eyebrows fluttered: "Lord Zhuang's granddaughter, one by one," Brother Yu learned from them, twisting his waist and walking with orchid steps: "It's all like this." After you get married, you don't need to raise orchids in the house, and the orchids can be killed by them. ”

Brother Ji'er's face became paler and paler, and he quickly had an idea in his heart: "Big brother, you think slowly, I have an urgent need to pee first." ”

Back in his room, he pulled out a bag from the bed, which had been prepared a long time ago. took off his sword again, and jumped out of the window without being discovered by Brother Yu.

Brother Yu was still in the room alone: "The daughter of King Liang's wife and brother, it's like this, laugh, that little mouth, ha, big mouth." ”
