Pei Shufen watched Chu Qianyi wearing a snow-blue embroidered unicorn Bai Ze's prince suit, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to himself, wearing a golden crown of red gold and pearls on his head, constantly swaying in the air with the swing of his head.
Such a child with a noble status and several families holding it in the palm of his hand, but he bowed down to himself, Pei Shufen was slightly happy in his heart when he was angry just now. For the first time, I felt that this otherworldly emphasis on filial piety was really a great thing. - Even if he fills the house, he is also his rightful mother, if he has the slightest mistake, a "unfilial piety" can make him discredited!
He Ningxin watched from the side but was distressed, and was just about to stop it, when on the path east of the gate of Zhonglan Courtyard, there was already a shout full of anger: "Yi'er!" Yi'er! - Hurry up, hurry up! What are you guys doing here? But it was a large group of people who surrounded Mrs. Ningyuan and came from the direction of Cining Courtyard.
In addition to the maid and mother-in-law of Mrs. Tai's Cining Courtyard, it was also the eldest girl Chu Wenlin, and the main lady Huang of the second room of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion. Huang and Liu's mother were alone, holding Mrs. Tai's arm, and were hurriedly walking over to this side.
Chu Qianyi stopped kowtowing, still kneeling on the ground, looked back at Mrs. Tai's direction, smiled shyly, and then shouted: "Say hello to grandmother!" Grandmother is well! β
Everyone saw Chu Qianyi's white forehead, which already had a trace of bruising.
He Ningxin hurriedly turned her head, and while everyone was not paying attention, she imprinted the handkerchief in her hand to the corner of her eyes, wiping away the tears that had just come out of her eyes.
The eldest girl, Chu Wenlin, didn't wait for others to tell her, she had already walked over in three steps and two steps, pulled Chu Qianyi up gently, wiped it on his head with a handkerchief, wiped some dust and fine ash first, and then said with a little reproach: "Third brother, the body is skinny, and the parents are affected." If you don't cherish it like this, your mother will be sad and sad if she has a spirit in heaven. He took Chu Qianyi's hand again, curtsy Pei Shufen together, with a flattering smile, and said: "Mother, the third brother only came back today, you can give the third brother's grandmother and our ancestors a face, don't punish the third brother." - If the third brother is in trouble at a young age, the mother will punish her daughter. The daughter is old, and her body is strong, so she is not in the way. β
Pei Shufen's face gradually sank, stood in front of the steps with her hands tied, and said to Chu Wenlin: "Big girl, what do you mean by this?" But am I deliberately embarrassed? - You ask the people standing here, ask my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law, and this Duchess of Zhenguo, but I want Yi'er to kowtow?! β
Chu Wenlin smiled and was blessed again, and said, "It's the daughter who is in a hurry for a while, and the mother is to blame." The daughter makes amends to her mother. He knelt down again and kowtowed.
While speaking, Mrs. Ning Yuan Hou had already helped the second lady and Liu's mother, and came over panting. first saluted Mrs. Xia and the Shen family, and then greeted He Ningxin, the Duchess of Zhenguo, before turning his head to Pei Shufen and saying, "The children only came back today, you will punish this and that." Show off how many of your children you have, don't you?! β
"Mother! - Daughter-in-law no! Pei Shufen was in a hurry, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to explain to Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai took Chu Qianyi's hand from Chu Wenlin's hand, looked at his forehead carefully, and said distressedly: "Fortunately, the skin is not broken, otherwise it will be broken, how will it be good in the future?" β
Pei Shufen hurriedly knelt down for Mrs. Tai and cried: "Mother, the daughter-in-law is a fool, and she won't give them a ride as soon as the child comes back, right?" Besides, the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law and sister-in-law are standing here, even if the daughter-in-law has a heart, they will not stand by and watch! As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Xia and the Shen family.
Mrs. Xia and Shen smiled, but did not answer.
Mrs. Tai sneered and was about to speak. On the path west of the entrance of Zhonglan Courtyard, there was also a sound, and the sound of two people's footsteps running.
Everyone looked to the west, but it was Ningyuan Hou Chuhua who strode back, and followed his eldest son and second son. The two children ran over quickly, first saluted Mrs. Tai, and then saluted Mrs. Xia of the Pei family, the eldest and youngest grandmother Shen, and the Duchess of Zhenguo, He Ningxin, one by one, before going over and taking Chu Qianyi's hand and asking long and short questions.
Chu Huajin returned home at noon, and when he heard that the two children had returned, he was also very happy. Who knew that after entering the second gate, I saw a group of people standing at the gate of Zhonglan Courtyard, only Pei Shufen knelt in front of Mrs. Tai, I don't know where Mrs. Tai looked at her unpleasantly, and gave her no face in front of everyone.
Chu Hua came over with a calm face, greeted Mrs. Tai, saluted Mrs. Xia and the Shen family of the Pei family, and also saw He Ningxin, the Duchess of Zhenguo, and was about to walk over to Pei Shufen.
Pei Shufen looked up and saw Chu Huajin coming over, his face was even more pitiful, and tears flowed down like beads of broken threads.
Mrs. Ning Yuanhou was angry when she saw Pei Shufen's appearance of waiting for a man to support her, and said angrily: "Get up." Later, he said that I will make a raft with you. β
Pei Shufen stood up crookedly, walked quickly in the direction Chu Huajin came from, and shouted "Master Hou!" β
Chu Qianqian had already earned it from Mrs. Xia and went to his brother Chu Qianyi to take a look. At this time, seeing that his father was back, his stepmother cried and greeted him, and he couldn't help but be a little angry. - Crying and coquettishness has always been the privilege of humility, and the stepmother is so old, and she still learns to be humble at every turn, which is really disrespectful to the old!
"Daddy! Daddy! - You're back! Humility misses his father the most! Seeing that Pei Shufen was about to walk towards Chu Huajin, Chu Qianqian had an idea, and quickly ran in the direction of Chu Huajin, running and shouting, which really attracted Chu Huajin's attention.
Chu Huajin originally only saw Pei Shufen's pear blossoms with rain, but suddenly heard a crisp shout, and saw a villager wearing a bright blue embroidered Yunfeng brocade countryman clothes, with his hair combed in a bun and pearls in his temples, Yuxue's cute little girl called "Daddy" and ran towards him, and the hands that were originally going to meet Pei Shufen involuntarily turned around and stretched out to Chu Qianqian.
Chu Qianqian was the best at climbing up the pole, and immediately grabbed Chu Huajin's arm and was picked up by him.
"Daddy, Qianqian and my brother miss Daddy so much, why does Daddy rarely go to see Qianqian?" Chu Qianqian stretched out his voice and hugged Chu Huajin's neck coquettishly.
Although Chu Huajin has many children, there has never been a person like Qianqian who dares to climb on him and be coquettish with him. Seeing Qianqian's appearance, Chu Huajin's heart softened a little, and said to her with a smile: "Didn't your mother go to see you every few days, why wasn't it enough?" β
Qianqian's head shook like a drum, and said, "Not enough! Inadequate! It's really not enough! - Daddy is a humble father, but my mother is just a humble aunt, separated by several layers. In fact, it should be said that aunt, the word "aunt" is used here, which is really ambiguous. However, Qianqian is only four years old, and it is difficult to compare with her.
Chu Huajin glanced at Pei Shufen with some contempt, and saw her standing aside with an aggrieved face, looking at herself with tears in her eyes, so she had to cough and say to Qianqian: "It should be called 'aunt', 'aunt' is not used like this." β
Chu Qianqian's eyes lit up: "In the future, Qianqian and my brother will call their mother 'aunt', is it okay?" β
Chu Huajin was choked by Chu Qianqian, smiled and gently patted her on the back, and said, "More and more nonsense." It's my aunt and my mother, and I'll remember to call me 'mother' in the future. β
Chu Qianqian let out an "oh" with some disappointment, looked back at Pei Shufen again, and then said to Chu Hua in a soft voice: "Daddy, my mother didn't mean to let my brother kowtow just now. Don't blame your mother. Even if our mother is at fault, we are willing to suffer for our mother. β
He Ningxin couldn't help it, stepped forward with a smile, and saluted Chu Hua before he said to the humility he was holding: "Qianqian, how did my godmother teach you before?" ββIt is a good thing to be clever and clever, but when there is a wind, there is no room for people, and it is not for everyone to do. Don't learn from the little family spirit that others will repay, your mother is also from a famous family, and she will not hold a grudge because of this and think of ways to embarrass you. Why don't you come down and make amends to your mother? β
Chu Qianqian listened to He Ningxin's words very much, and said that she had done everything she should have done today, and she had reached the point of turning around, so she broke down from Chu Huajin, ran to Pei Shufen, pulled her shirt, and said in a milky voice: "Mother, don't cry, it's all Qianqian's fault." Qianqian shouldn't rob his father from his mother, Qianqian should return his father to his mother, okay? After saying this, he reluctantly looked back at Chu Huajin and slowly walked towards Mrs. Ningyuan's Marquis.
Mrs. Marquis Ning Yuan saw Qianqian's reluctant look, bent down to pick her up, and said distressedly: "Good boy, your father is your own father, not something that others can snatch." β
Chu Qian snuggled in the arms of Mrs. Ning Yuan, and her eyes still looked at Chu Huajin, and said, "Qianqian and my brother have just come back, and my mother is not willing to let my father talk to Qianqian and my brother even with this little effort......
Chu Huajin was embarrassed to appease Pei Shufen in front of everyone, and besides, what Qianqian said made sense, as soon as the two children came back, Pei Shufen put on a picture of being bullied, and it was difficult for him to do it. As if he hadn't seen Pei Shufen's longing eyes, he passed past her with a smile, walked over to Mrs. Ningyuan, stretched out her hand and said, "Mother, let me hold Qianqian." Although she is young, she is strangely heavy, and her mother is tired of being careful. β
Mrs. Ningyuan Hou felt a little better when she saw that Chu Huajin still knew how to behave in front of outsiders, smiled and put Chu Qianqian into Chu Huajin's arm, and greeted the people at the gate of Zhonglan Courtyard: "Let everyone laugh." But you're not outsiders, so we're not polite. So come with me to my yard and sit down, and see what I have prepared for Yi'er and Qianqian? "Directly took the person away from the gate of Zhonglan Courtyard.
Mrs. Xia and the Shen family bowed down, and He Ningxin also followed them in the direction of Cining Courtyard.
Mrs. Ning Yuan held Mrs. Xia's hand in front of her, laughing as she walked. He Ningxin and Shen walked side by side, and did not speak, but occasionally looked at each other and smiled.
Chu Huajin held Chu Qianqian in one hand and Chu Qianyi in the other, enjoying the feeling of being a "loving father" very much.
Chu Wenlin and his two brothers-in-law walked behind Chu Huajin, and from time to time secretly glanced back at the mother-in-law who was standing at the gate of Zhonglan Courtyard and was stupid, secretly laughing in her heart.
The second lady Huang deliberately didn't see Pei Shufen's embarrassed appearance, and didn't come out to take the initiative to play the round, but also followed everyone and hung Pei Shufen at the gate of Zhonglan Courtyard.
Pei Shufen hesitated for a while, knowing that she couldn't go away. - Qianqian, that girl has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and she doesn't know how to arrange herself at this time.
It's just a girl, and she dares to argue with herself! - Pei Shufen sneered in her heart. The son is enough, but if the stepmother wants to manipulate the daughter born by the former lady, it is very easy. Even if she has a good name and filial piety at home, she will tell her a "great" family affair, and then she will know why the flowers are so red!
Mrs. Ningyuan took everyone to her Cining Courtyard, and couldn't wait to lead everyone and the two children to look at the house she had prepared for Chu Qianyi and Chu Qianqian.
Even from He Ningxin's critical eye, it is impeccable.
Mrs. Ningyuan Marquis is still interested in these two children. He Ningxin nodded slightly in her heart, and was a little relieved about the two children's days in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.
After everyone finished looking at the house and returned to the upper room of Cining Courtyard, they were all a little tired and sat there to rest.
The maid and lady of Cining Courtyard brought snacks and tea again, and let everyone use them first.
The two children returned to the house today, and the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion also prepared a banquet for the guests, and asked the guests to have a meal.
Seeing that the hour was still early, Mrs. Ning Yuan Hou greeted Mrs. Xia.
Chu Qianqian and Chu Qianyi sat next to Chu Huajin and also talked to him.
Chu Qianyi was obviously silent beside Chu Huajin. Chu Qianqian didn't care, chattered about his interesting things at his grandfather's house, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that my father is not there, and I haven't seen how powerful Qianqian is......"
Chu Huajin couldn't help laughing, feeling that this daughter was bold and well-behaved, exactly the same as when she was a child, and couldn't help but hurt her a little more.
Seeing this, Chu Wenlin, Chu Wenzhang, and Chu Wenying also sat next to Chu Huajin, smiling and having fun on the side.
Chu Hua saw that his sister-in-law and sister-in-law got along well, and he was happy, and his heart was very comfortable.
When these children were young, he originally loved Chu Wenlin the most. It's a pity that the older Chu Wenlin gets, the more she is raised by Aunt Qi, although she is a concubine, she is more dignified than a concubine.
Although Chu Qianqian is the daughter of the Eight Classics and the Lin'an Township Monarch who was enshrined by the Holy Lord, she left her side when she was more than a year old and went back to her grandfather's house to support her.
Originally, Chu Huajin was worried that these two children were not by his side, and there was no feeling of closeness between father and son, father and daughter. In addition, Pei Shufen always blows the wind in front of him intentionally or unintentionally, saying that these two children have strange feelings, and complains a lot about him as a father, which makes Chu Huajin less and less like to go to Pei's house to see the two children. - Now it seems that there is some misunderstanding in this.
Chu Huajin didn't think that Pei Shufen would deliberately deceive himself, but the two children didn't deal with Pei Shufen, and Chu Huajin still believed it. Comparing his heart to his heart, his mother's position has been replaced, even if it is himself, he will not put his heart into his stepmother. So when the two children saw Pei Shufen, they hated the house and Wu, and blamed themselves for it, probably some. However, he is their biological father in the end, even if there is a diaphragm before, once they meet, the blood relationship cannot be faked. - I still blame the two children.
Seeing that Chu Qianqian was lively and cute, smart and clever, and clinging to himself as a father, Chu Hua moved Chu Wenlin's heart to Chu Qianqian. Although Chu Qianyi doesn't like to talk much, he is a son of the world, and he is older, so he should be calmer. Chu Huajin was very satisfied with the appearance of the two children, and his expression was much more relaxed when he spoke.
Chu Wenlin observed her words and looks, and became more and more affectionate towards Chu Qianyi and Chu Qianqian.
Chu Wenzhang is the second child, and he doesn't talk much on weekdays, but when he saw the third brother returning home today, he was even more silent than himself, but he talked more, and kept telling him all the time about the interesting story of him learning boxing and kicking with the master of the archery.
Chu Qianyi followed Jian Feiyang, the prince of Zhenguo, and also learned riding and archery and boxing, and when he heard the second brother say so lively, he finally followed him.
Chu Hua looked at his son Nengwen and Wu with a smile, and felt that he had a successor to the Chu family. Recently, in the court, I listened to Pei Shufen's suggestion, joined forces vertically and horizontally, and attacked in many ways, even Jian Feiyang, the prince of Zhenguo, had to avoid his edge. The candidate I strongly recommended has gone to the northwest to be the chief soldier, and the governor of Jiangnan Province is also going to be vacant, which is a piece of fat......
Chu Huajin's thoughts flew to the court, and he didn't see Pei Shufen come in to annoy everyone.
When he came back to his senses, Pei Shufen had already greeted everyone and was standing in front of Mrs. Tai to reply.
"Now that Yi'er and Qianqian are back, you should have prepared, right?" Mrs. Tai had regained her smile at this time, and asked her with a smile.
Pei Shufen nodded hurriedly and said, "In the past, when Yi'er and Qianqian were not in the mansion, the daughter-in-law sent their share to the Pei family. Now that they're back, it's just that they've changed it from there to this side, and they don't need to send it anymore, just let the rΗ lady in their house lead it. β
Mrs. Tai nodded and said, "Yes." How much silver was their previous monthly bill? β
Pei Shufen said: "The son-in-law and daughter-in-law are ten taels a month. "The rules of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, the monthly example of ten taels of silver a month for the concubine and the concubine, and five taels of silver for the concubine and the concubine. Mrs. 20 taels a month, Mrs. Tai 50 taels a month, and the concubine and aunt only have 2 taels of silver a month, so as to show the difference between the concubines and the concubines.
Mrs. Tai frowned and said, "What is the use of ten taels?" They have already made the prince and the countryman, and they can't be seen as the usual sons-in-law and daughters-in-law. Let's give them twenty taels a month. It's a pity that they have no mother, even if I take care of them personally, I am afraid that they will be wronged. β
Pei Shufen's face turned white, and he peeked at Chu Huajin, but saw that he just tilted his head, and looked at Chu Qianqian's cherry-red little mouth with a smile, and he didn't know what he was talking about
