Chapter 153: Not Once
At this moment, Mei Xiang also came forward with a sad face, so that she could coax the little guy not to cry, but her eyes were still red, and the old lady also fell into contemplation because of Chu Nian's words.
Today's Chu family is indeed inseparable from Chu Nian, if Chu Nian really marries, Chu Yuanlang has now gone to Nanhuai Township and there is no news at all, the Chu family is left with young and old, one has no power and two has no power, isn't this being bullied?
Thinking of this, the old lady's face didn't look good.
Chu Nian looked at the old lady's unpredictable expression, and snorted coldly: "It's a shame that the old lady has helped others bully me again and again, if I really collapse, will the Chu family have any way to live?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the old lady suddenly remembered that she had gone to Chu Nian's yard to make trouble for Liu's mother before, which caused the whole capital to talk about Chu Nian until now, and she suddenly felt a chill in her heart, if someone with a heart really brought Chu Nian to the downfall, can the Chu family still be the Chu family now?
Realizing that the only pillar of the Chu family was Chu Nian, the old lady's face finally became a little smoother, she looked at Chu Nian cautiously and said, "Nian'er, then you say, what should I do now?" ”
Seeing that the old lady was sensible for the first time, Chu Nian didn't want to worry about her anymore, after all, he was just an old man, and now that he was older, he just wanted a place to live in the wind and rain, as long as she honestly didn't cause trouble, Chu Nian didn't mind keeping the old lady eating and drinking spicy food in the Chu family.
"Don't worry, I will definitely deal with this matter, old lady, go back and rest, I still have some things."
After that, Chu Nian glanced at Chu Yuan and Chu Er sideways, only to see that the twins' bodies were trembling together, and then he withdrew his gaze and thought about it.
"Old lady, now the eldest sister and the second sister have reached the age when they should get married, right?"
The old lady now understands the importance of Chu Nian, so he naturally obeys Chu Nian in everything, and when he saw Chu Nian asking, he said: "Yes, your eldest sister and second sister should have married a long time ago, and it was because of a crazy mother that the relationship between the two was put on hold." ”
It has long been rumored that madness can also be contagious, Xiao Chen's family is crazy, and Chu Yuan Chu Er's reputation has long been stinky because of Xiao Chen's affairs, even if they go out to meet all kinds of upper-class ladies and gentlemen in the name of "Wushuang County Lord's biological sister", they can't choose to have the name of a mad demon mother.
I'm afraid it's hard to marry in the capital.
Chu Nian glanced at the two sisters who were only promised, and sighed: "Leave this matter to me, the two sisters married earlier, and the house will take care of it a lot." ”
The old lady took Chu Nian's words as a holy decree, nodded and said: "Xiao Chen's treatment of you like that, you can still think of your two sisters, it was really grandma who blamed you before." ”
After a few words, the old lady seemed to be more than ten years old, and her face became more and more haggard: "I am tired today, since these things are handed over to you, you have to worry more, but pay attention to your body, you are the hope of the whole family." ”
Chu Nian heard the sadness in her voice, raised her eyebrows, and said to the few mothers who were serving on the side: "Take the old lady back to rest, everyone will disperse."
At this moment, everyone also understood the importance of Chu Nian to the Chu family, and they no longer dared to despise Chu Nian, and left obediently, Chu Yuan and Chu Er still had gratitude in their eyes when they left, but they didn't dare to say a word to Chu Nian.
After everyone left, Mei Xiang dared to come close with Xiao Susu in her arms, and said with red eyes: "Lady, what are you going to do, the Queen Mother is in such a hurry, she has already said that we should set off early tomorrow morning." ”
Chu Nian smiled: "Since the Queen Mother is so anxious, ask Tao Jinyan to do it in advance, why are you crying, thank you Queen Mother today, help me establish my authority in the Chu family, and now it is finally peaceful behind me." ”
Xiao Susu struggled into Chu Nian's arms before crying: "Sister, you are not allowed to marry, I just heard from those subordinates, if you get married, I will never see you again." ”
Seeing her pitiful little appearance, Chu Nian couldn't help but feel soft in her heart, reached out and pinched her round little face, and then said, "Don't be afraid, my sister won't leave, my sister will accompany you for the rest of your life." ”
Mei Xiang on the side opened her mouth, and when she saw Chu Nian's unworried look, she finally stopped talking, left and right that her lady was a scheming unparalleled county lord, the lady was so calm, she must have a certain number in her heart, it was useless for them to be in a hurry, it was better to let the lady come.
At this moment, after coaxing Xiao Susu, Chu Niancai rubbed Xiao Susu's head and said, "Mei Xiang, is there any news from Dark Er recently?" ”
Mei Xiang shook her head and said, "The second brother has always been silent, and every time I go to bring him food, he doesn't say anything, so it's nothing." ”
Chu Nian nodded: "Accompany me to take a look, in addition, ask Dark San to replace Dark Er for a few days, and let him rest and rest." ”
It has been more than half a year since he sent Dark Er to look at Xiao Chen's courtyard, and Dark Er has never left Xiao Chen's courtyard, so it's time to rest.
Mei Xiang nodded, and the voice of the dark third came from the void: "Lady, do you need me to walk a few steps quickly and tell the second child." ”
Chu Nian glanced at where the voice came from: "No need. ”
After that, he handed Xiao Susu to the other subordinates of the herb house, and instructed the subordinates to put Xiao Susu to sleep before taking Mei Xiang towards the courtyard where Xiao Chen's family was.
The courtyard was dark all the year round, and only the middle room had a faint candle flame, and it was quite lonely to think that Xiao Chen's family would live here alone.
When Chu Nian and the others arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the dark two fell from the sky, still covering his face with a black cloth, revealing a pair of eyes that made people scared when they looked at them: "Lady." ”
Chu Nian nodded, "It's hard work, what is Xiao Chen doing at this time?" ”
Dark Er glanced back, and a few traces of confusion flashed in his eyes: "Usually the lights are out at this time, but today there is none." ”
Hearing this, Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, and said slyly: "Lady, do you need your subordinates to take you over the wall?" ”
Chu Nian smiled and said, "You kid bullied me, won't you do light work?" ”
Dark San said proudly: "The lady just won't!" ”
The atmosphere was a little more relaxed, Mei Xiang reached out to pinch Dark Three's ears, and Dark Two also looked at Dark Three with a little ridicule in his eyes and said, "I will definitely tell Your Highness this." ”
"Alas, Mei Xiang, you are light, you are not allowed to sue! Otherwise, I'll break up with you! ”
Chu Nian looked at the few people who were making a mess with a smile, looked at the closed door, and said with a straight expression: "Let's go, people are still waiting for us." ”
Mei Xiang showed a look of sudden realization, and after a while, she said angrily: "It seems that our house should be cleared up." ”
Chu Nian indifferently pushed open the closed door, and there was a piercing "squeak" sound in the silent night, "No need, you have to leave a few daughters for her to take care of, right?" Otherwise, she wouldn't be at ease. ”
After that, Chu Nian ignored the depressed courtyard around him and went straight towards the house with a candle flame, Mei Xiang followed closely behind, and Dark Two and Dark Three glanced at each other with serious faces, both hiding in the darkness.
When I walked to the door, I saw the figure reflected in the door, this figure seemed to be grooming in the mirror, and his figure was plump, and it seemed that he was having a good time these days.
Chu Nian sneered and pushed the door open.
There was only one candle burning in the room, standing on the edge of the bronze mirror, and in the bronze mirror was Xiao Chen, who was smiling, I have to say that Xiao Chen does have the capital to kill the big Chen, and Chu Hezhou is also a visionary.
Now Xiao Chen is thirty and two, and she is already the mother of three children, but she still can't see the traces of time, she still has willow eyebrows and a slender waist, her face is like a peach blossom with a little powder, and her long inky hair is scattered, and she has a little bit of a young woman's posture.
Chu Nian's eyes narrowed slightly: "Madame, how are you doing now?" Can people have harsh diets? It's winter, why don't you even have a charcoal pot? ”
Xiao Chen didn't look back, squinted at Chu Nian through the bronze mirror, and smiled slightly, "Why does the county lord have time to come to my small place today?" ”
Chu Nian smiled and sat unceremoniously on the only Taishi chair in the room, Mei Xiang took the tray in her hand and placed the tea she brought on the table beside Chu Nian.
The person in the bronze mirror squinted his eyes slightly, watching Chu Nian drink tea elegantly, Xiao Chen almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth.
Now that her son was killed by her Chu Nian, and she herself was so harmed that she was locked up here all day long, Chu Nian was at ease? I heard from outside, I got the queen mother's marriage today?
Ignoring Xiao Chen's cruel gaze, Chu Nian raised his eyes and smiled lightly and said, "I didn't expect the eldest lady to be like this here...... Elegant, I want to come these days, the taste of the eldest lady has improved. ”
Mei Xiang looked around at Xiao Chen's empty room, covered her mouth and echoed: "Indeed, the eldest lady's taste is much higher, when the slave maid went to the eldest lady's house in the early days, she could still see some strange paintings and expensive decorations, today, the eldest lady is indeed much more 'elegant'." ”
Hearing the master and servant mocking themselves in a different way, Xiao Chen took a deep breath and pressed back the thought in his chest that he wanted to step forward and strangle Chu Nian, but looked at Mei Xiang with a cold face: "Bold slave, I am still the master mother of your lady, if you contradict me, it is equivalent to your lady confronting me, you want to smear your lady's reputation so much?" ”
Hearing this, Chu Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, Mei Xiang on the side stopped his mouth, and seeing that his lady did not react, he glared at Xiao Chen fiercely.
Hurt our lady so many times, and still have the face to say that she is the housemother of my lady?
Mei Xiang took a step towards Chu Nian's side and stopped talking.
Chu Nian lowered his head and drank tea lightly, and after a while, he said with a light smile: "Since Mrs. still knows that she is the head of the Chu family, she should take care of the face of the Chu family, if there is anything to happen to the Chu family, it will affect the eldest sister and the second sister, especially now, because of the eldest lady, even if I come forward as a guarantee, no one is willing to marry the eldest sister and the second sister for the time being." ”
put the words on the table so bluntly, Xiao Chen's face froze, she just wanted to die and sell stupid at first, but she didn't expect Chu Nian to say anything, and now Chu Nian is even more smooth, and even the Queen Mother gave her a marriage, and what about her, not to mention that her son is dead, and her two daughters can't marry a good family?
But now she can't lower her posture to beg Chu Nian, right? Otherwise, all these sufferings will be in vain.
Snorted coldly, Xiao Chen spoke: "There is no need for Sanniang to worry about this matter, I naturally have prepared a way back for Yuan Niang and Erniang, I just hope that Sanniang will remember that they are your own sisters, don't make a move to obstruct it." ”
Hearing this, Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be in a happy mood and said: "It's so good, but now that the eldest lady is still involuntarily, how can she help the eldest sister and second sister find a good family?" I'm not worried about what the eldest lady can do, after all, ......"
When Xiao Chen's eyes came over, Chu Nian hooked the corners of his lips meaningfully: "The eldest lady has never succeeded once." ”
