Chapter 402, Concubine
Xiao Chu decided to fight unevenly and stared at Chu Huaide with one eye. She is now the housekeeper, and let people inquire about Chu Huaide who said that he would not come back at night, Xiao Chu was unhappy with Chu Huaixian: "Why don't you talk about it, for, expect you to say it, it's really difficult." ”
Chu Huaixian hugged her and smiled: "You should feel sorry for your husband when he comes back at night, it's not that you will nag as soon as I come back." Then he scolded the person who replied: "I just fell asleep, and I didn't have long eyes, so I kept her warm and talked back." ”
This scolding, of course, is in the room.
Xiao Chu twisted Chu Huaixian and coquettishly with him: "Take care of it, it's only useful if you take care of it." Now that I look, even if the second uncle speaks, it doesn't work. Chu Huaixian smiled: "Huaide became a relative, and the second uncle still said what he did." He will also be a person who will go out to be an official in the future, and now in front of people, it is time to save face for him. ”
"No, you have to talk about him tomorrow, and that's it, no!" Xiao Chu tore Chu Huaixian's clothes, and Chu Huaixian began to undress: "I knew you missed me." ”
Xiao Chu: "......."
The next day, Xiao Chu was still angry with Chu Huaide, so he took a break from his busy schedule and said to Mrs. Chu: "My brother and sister are new, I'll go to her room to see what I have to say." ”
Mrs. Chu heard it and liked it very much: "In the future, these people will be all about you and Huaixian, so it's okay to go and see them." "That's how Mrs. Chu came over when she entered the house.
The wind and snow outside were urgent, and Mrs. Chu asked someone to bring a snow coat to Xiao Chu: "Let's come back after a look, the new daughter-in-law is shy and sits for a long time." Xiao Chu agreed to come out, followed by two girls, and went to Chu Huaide's room with all their money.
On the road, he pointed to Hanmei and said: "Childe has also slacked off this year, I think he is an adult now, so he doesn't ask too much about family affairs." This plum blossom is not as prosperous as last year. ”
Biyue smiled in the back: "The young lady is the housekeeper this year, and if you ask Gongzi about the family, Gongzi will definitely say that you are careless." Xiao Chu suddenly realized: "Look at us, I don't call him an adult every day, so he doesn't care." ”
The master and servant laughed and came to the outside of the Chen Courtyard.
The girls replied: "The young lady is here." Chen greeted her, and behind her, Aunt Zhang came out. Xiao Chu didn't think it was strange, except for the second master Chu in the family who was grateful to Dade for this family business, it was Aunt Zhang who didn't relax every day.
When Chen entered the door, Aunt Zhang should have come over to speak.
Everyone sat down, and Chen glanced at Aunt Zhang casually, the young lady is here, and this one is still not leaving? Aunt Zhang saw that Xiao Chu also came over, this is a person who is familiar with family affairs. continued yesterday's words in front of Xiao Chu: "The young lady has to take care of him, you look at the eldest son, he never does this." It just so happens that the young lady is here, you have to tell the young lady that you can't suffer the loss of the young lady. ”
For Chen, the two people sitting in front of him were unfamiliar to him. Chu Huaide didn't come back for just one night yesterday, which attracted Aunt Zhang to come early in the morning and say "You can't suffer his loss". Aunt Zhang also doesn't like the Lou family, she doesn't like Miss Lou because she is an aunt, but like the second master, she cares too much about Chu Huaide's well-known family affairs.
Aunt Zhang, who is familiar with Chu Huaide's temperament, is most afraid that Chu Huaide will go to Lou's house without a full moon, and now it has come true, she is anxious to come to talk to Chen without avoiding suspicion. She can't speak, and when she says it, of course, it's "you can't indulge him". Hearing these words in Chen's ears, how could she like it?
Her husband didn't come back overnight, how did Aunt Zhang know? She has nothing to do every day, but she can't stare at it. Besides, this tone is the tone of the in-laws, and Chen has long been impatient when he listens to it.
Now seeing that Aunt Zhang also revealed it in front of Xiao Chu, Chen said lightly: "Look at Aunt Talk!" My sister-in-law came to see me for the first time, so I don't have to say that. ”
"The young lady doesn't know anything." When Aunt Zhang said this, she saw that Chen's face sank, and she felt that it was not interesting. Xiao Chu heard that it was said that Chu Huaide was not at home yesterday, and when she saw Chen's displeasure, she also guessed that she thought that Aunt Zhang had no identity, so what about herself?
Aunt Zhang was bumped, but she still hesitated and refused to leave. Chen said politely to her again: "Auntie is still in trouble?" Only then did Aunt Zhang walk away.
Chen smiled at Xiao Chu: "Sister-in-law, don't laugh, my aunt came to say something about my son in the morning, I don't understand." Xiao Chu said tentatively: "Maybe what she said is also well-intentioned?" Chen said solemnly: "Where does my sister-in-law speak, there are in-laws, of course I listen to my in-laws in everything." ”
Xiao Chu laughed: "You are right." "Chen's in-laws, the second master and the second wife, are really not very good people. Thinking about Chu Huaide's identity at home again, Xiao Chu still mentioned: "If you have something to say in the future, just come and tell me." Huaide is not a good person, you don't have to take it to heart. ”
Since the morning, all that Chen has heard is that Chu Huaide is not good. Chen, who felt that Chu Huaixian's official position was high, persuaded Chu Huaide to be motivated, just counting on Chu Huaide to be an official. Now I heard that the young lady in front of me, who was not from a good background and married a good husband, also said that her husband was not good, and the Chen family was not good at sinking her face like Aunt Zhang, but she couldn't bear it and replied: "Of course I am not as blessed as my sister-in-law, Huaide, where can I compare with my eldest brother." ”
Xiao Chu, who came kindly, touched a soft nail and stopped mentioning it. After sitting for a while, I leisurely asked Chen what he liked to eat and what he played at home. Someone outside shouted: "Madame is looking for the eldest young lady." Xiao Chu went back.
Chen sat in the room, and was angry for a long time, what happened to everyone in this family?
The girls persuaded her: "There is gossip in every family, don't be angry." As long as you control your words and deeds, you can't get in with foreign words. Chen thought about it, sat in the room until the evening, and went to the second master of Chu and the second lady of Chu to say goodbye, the second master of Chu was very fond of this daughter-in-law, and he cared for a few words with Yan Yuese, and let Chen come back.
Chu Huaide is already in the room, of course the newlyweds are intimate, plus they are sorry for not coming back last night, Chu Huaide is extremely considerate, and Chen is extremely gentle.
Looking at the delicate and amiable husband in front of him, the Chen family thought about Aunt Zhang and the eldest young lady who said that Chu Huaide was not good during the day, and took them all to heart.
The New Year is celebrated in a few days, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the family feasts. Please send out the old lady Chu to sit on the upper seat, and Mrs. Chu pulled the two grandsons and Mrs. Chu to sit on the left and right of the old lady Chu. Xiao Chu was the last to invite, it was Chen, who smiled and pulled Chen: "It's good that my brother and sister are sitting with Huaide." ”
Chen avoided it quietly, and said with a smile: "Where does the sister-in-law say, you have to sit by yourself." Chu Huaixian heard it and glanced at the troubled Xiao Chu: "You are busy running the New Year, what are you doing there!" "If you want to be safe, mothers can be safe.
Xiao Chu left the Chen family and sat down next to Chu Huaixian, not forgetting to ask him: "You said yesterday to buy us the best old plums, where did they go?" Chu Huaixian smiled: "Your housekeeper, don't come to ask me." ”
For Xiao Chu's words, Chen and Chu Huaide sat separately, Chu Huaide sat at the bottom, and there were two relatives in the middle.
After dinner, Brother Yu and Brother Ji were arguing about fireworks, and Lian Qing went to bed early and was sent back to the room. There were also relatives in the hall, Chu Huaide went to accompany him, and Chen went back to the room to change clothes. On the way, I heard a few crisp laughter, and looked behind the honeysuckle flowers, but it was Xiao Chu who was talking to his sons: "Call your father to come, I want to go back to the room, he just sits there and doesn't leave." ”
"How do you shout? Did you say that the mother was going to shout? Brother Yu asked, Chen couldn't help laughing, and then listened to Xiao Chu's answer: "Of course you shouted it yourself, as soon as you shout, he will understand." ”
Chen was standing here, ready to see if he could shout. Not long after, Chu Huaixian came over alone, and Xiao Chu was still theorizing with him: "You said you came back early tonight to accompany me, why did you drink in the hall again?" If I don't call you, you won't come back. ”
Saying that, he twisted Chu Huaixian's sleeve a few times, and Chu Huaixian said disapprerovingly: "There are so many officials who come to pay New Year's greetings, it's not good to leave it and leave, are you a child?" You also want me to accompany you. ”
"It's not a child, I want you to accompany me." Xiao Chu giggled and got Chu Huaixian back to the room.
Chen and the girls behind the honeysuckle tree returned to the room, still looking at each other. Chen said to the girls: "Since there are many people coming, go tell the son, accompany him more, it's not good to flash people." ”
Chu Huaide got this sentence, and went to Lou's house without changing his mind, and only came back at dawn, and told Chen, who was still sleeping: "There are many people outside, the eldest brother has returned to the room early, I have to be there." On the contrary, Chen felt that Chu Huaide knew the reason, and smiled at him gently.
It was the first day of the new year, and Mrs. Chu and others went to the palace to celebrate the New Year. Chen asked people to inquire, and when they heard that they had come back for the Chinese New Year, they hurriedly went over to prepare for the salute. Chu Huaixian, who met Chu Huaixian who came back from the palace outside the plum blossom forest, went back to the room to change his clothes, and saw him coming over in a new official uniform, Chen avoided it, and muttered in his heart to this tall figure. How majestic does this person look, how can he be a person who is afraid of his wife?
Today's old lady Chu is finally in her own room. Mrs. Chu and the others are still there, and they are all in order. Xiao Chu was honest this time and didn't dare to talk to Chen anymore.
Waiting for Chu Huaixian to come over again, he quietly told him: "I didn't talk to my younger siblings much today." Chu Huaixian, just like last night, still blamed Xiao Chu: "You don't talk much!" It's none of your business, don't talk nonsense. ”
As Mrs. Chu said, the most protective of Xiaochu in this family is Chu Huaixian himself. After a few words at the family banquet yesterday, Chu Huaixian heard that the Chen brothers and sisters were disrespectful to Xiao Chu. This disrespect does not come from the words, but is implicit in the words, and the discerning person can hear it.
