Chapter 80: Matters of the Heart
When the guests in Jucuixuan of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion saw the He family say goodbye and leave, they all got up to say goodbye.
Mrs. Hu, who is in the third room of the Song family of Huiguo Gong, was originally the most honored guest at today's ceremony, but now she is also a little ridiculous. The step-room of the Dongxiang Marquis is her cousin, and she is also famous. Besides, she also brought Song Liangyu, the concubine of the Song family's big house of Huiguo Gong, to watch the ceremony today, but after watching such a lively scene, she didn't know how to go back and explain to her sister-in-law.
Song Liangyu saw He Ningxin in the hall with a chivalrous heart, and she was very impressed by her righteousness and eloquence. hurriedly said goodbye to Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Filling the House of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion, and rushed out of the house quickly, just wanting to catch up with the group of the He family and make friends with that He girl.
Seeing that the guests were gone, Shen also brought his two children and the third lady Pei Shufang to say goodbye to Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai sighed, touched the heads of the two children, and said, "I am tired of my uncle and grandmother taking care of these two children on behalf of the elder." The tone was gloomy and very sluggish. She has always done things only according to her own preferences, and often cares about the head and tail. The rumors were negligent. I actually forgot that in addition to hitting Pei Shufan, it would also hurt the two children. - Although Mrs. Tai doesn't like Pei Shufan, she loves these two original sisters-in-law very much.
Shen smiled and said, "It's not troublesome." These two children are very cute, and they are also the grandsons of our Pei family, and our family loves them very much. Looking at Mrs. Tai's appearance, Shen was a little unbearable, and said: "If Mrs. Tai is free, you might as well come to our Pei family to sit down more and have more affection with the two children." β
Mrs. Tai turned her worries into joy, and said in a loud voice: "OkayβI'll go over in a few days." If you are free, you can also take them back to our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion for two days at any time. He took Shen's hand and said earnestly: "This is their home after all." Don't worry, with me here, I won't let others beat their ideas. β
Listening to Mrs. Tai's earnest assurance, Shen nodded, she believed that Mrs. Tai would definitely be reluctant to give up on the two children. also knows that Mrs. Tai is like this, she has always acted according to her own preferences, regardless of the end. Besides, she is an elder in the end, even if she has something unreliable, Shen, as a junior, can only pretend not to see it, and it is difficult to really pull down her face. - If people know that the Pei family is really in power, it is also a big crime of unfilial piety to let the two children be estranged from their own grandmothers.
"Take care, Mrs. Tai, let's go back first." Shen bowed again and took the children to say goodbye.
When they came to the door of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, the Shen family saw that the He family and his party, who came out first, had not left yet. The He family's blue-roofed blue silk cart was parked at the inner part of the gate, and the He girl was standing in front of the car, chatting happily with another girl wearing a fiery red fox fur.
When Chu Qianyi saw that Miss He, he was also extremely close in his heart. He stood beside Shen and stared blankly, not wanting to move.
He Ningxin followed Mrs. Xu out of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion before, and was about to get into the car, when suddenly a girl rushed out of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion to stop her, and introduced herself as "Song Liangyu".
He Ningxin is also a straightforward person, and she also has a good impression of this Song girl who doesn't beat around the bush. After the two finished talking, Song Liangyu returned to the Song family's car and followed the Song family away.
He Ningxin was about to turn around and get into the car, but when she looked up, she saw Shen with two children, standing in front of the gate of Ningyuan Hou's Mansion and looking at her.
He Ningxin saluted her from afar, and Shen also smiled and returned the salute.
When Chu Qianyi saw it, he suddenly broke free from Shen's hand, ran to He Ningxin's side, took off a small goldfish jade pendant tied to his belt, stuffed it into He Ningxin's hand, and said, "Thank you for helping my mother speak." - Here's to you. β
He Ningxin couldn't help but burst into tears, bent down, and hugged Chu Qianyi gently.
Chu Qianyi suddenly whispered in He Ningxin's ear, "Can I come to talk to you?" There is one thing in my heart that I have never dared to say. But if I don't say it, I think about it every day, and I can't sleep at night. I'm afraid that one day, I'll really say it, but I'm going to get into trouble. β
He Ningxin didn't know what Chu Qianyi was thinking about and couldn't tell people, and now it was inconvenient for her to go to Pei's house. He Ningxin helped Chu Qianyi think of a way: "It's better to go back and find a small glass bottle, and when there is no one, explain what is in your heart to the bottle." Then put the bottle on the cap, go to the yard to find a big tree, dig a hole, and bury the bottle there. - In this way, you will be able to speak your mind, and you will no longer have to think about it, and you will not have to worry about being listened to by others. Do you think it's good? β
Chu Qianyi listened to He Ningxin's idea, nodded again and again, and said, "I'll do it when I go back" Thinking that he could finally unload the big stone in his heart into a small bottle, Chu Qianyi was extremely happy.
Shen walked over, took Chu Qianyi's hand, and said to He Ningxin: "It's rare for a girl to be patient. My nephew, who has always disliked talking to outsiders, is now in love with a girl. β
He Ningxin smiled, touched Chu Qianyi's head, looked at Shen and said, "Mrs. Shen's nephew is very cute......"
Shen Shi also nodded to her with a smile, bowed his head and said to Chu Qianyi: "It's not too early, we have to go back." β
He Ningxin looked at their distant backs, sighed faintly in her heart, and turned back to the He family's car.
β¦β¦
In the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, Mrs. Tai sat in Ju Cuixuan's hall with a gloomy face, looking at the clean hall, and her heart was extremely uncomfortable.
Ju Cuixuan's maids and daughters hurriedly removed the tables and chairs in the lobby and restored their usual decorations.
The doctor Pei Shufen asked to invite was bandaging Tongye's wound in the ear room on the side at this time. Pei Shufen was not at ease, so she brought her maid Tongxing to watch beside her, and told the doctor to cure Tongye.
This doctor was familiar with the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, and he said with a full mouth: "Madame, don't worry." This girl's injuries are not serious, as long as they are properly bandaged, it is enough to have a good life in the future. β
After the doctor left, Pei Shufen asked Tongxing to find a few mothers-in-law, carried the rattan drawer spring stool, and carried Tongye back to Zhonglan Courtyard.
Mrs. Tai waited in the hall for a long time, and when she saw that Pei Shufen was still busy around Tongye, she sighed, and helped her henchman to accompany Liu's mother back to her Cining Courtyard. Before leaving, he explained to Ju Cuixuan's maid, and asked his wife to finish the affairs of Tongye and go to Cining Courtyard.
Back at Cining Courtyard, Mrs. Tai saw that Chu Huajin was already waiting there, and knew that he should have heard the wind in the outer courtyard, so she rushed over.
Mrs. Tai sent all the people in the house out and talked to Chu Huajin alone in the warm pavilion.
"Why did my mother come back alone? - What about Shufen? Why didn't you send your mother back with you? Chu Huajin was a little strange.
Today's incident of Ju Cuixuan made Chu Huajin very angry. Not long after he came back, he had been working on his own affairs for the past few days, and he had not had time to interact with his former friends and colleagues. Regarding Pei Shufan's rumors, he only learned about it today from the Grand Steward of Qin in the outer courtyard, and he was naturally furious.
"Mother, I have already scolded Steward Qin and punished him for half a year. - It's really hateful that he doesn't come back to me for such a big thing."
Chu Hua has been out for two years, and he has indeed learned a lot of things. The vision and means are not the same as those of two years ago.
He knew all too well what the dangers of these rumors were. Even if he was very angry with Pei Shufan's Chen Biao before his death, it didn't mean that he could let people humiliate his original partner like this. What's more, he also knows what the Pei family's attitude towards their concubine Pei Shufan is, and it is not at all comparable to the concubine Pei Shufen. In the future, you will have to use the Pei family more often, and you must not spoil the big things of yourself and the queen mother because of a moment of righteous indignation.
When Mrs. Tai heard this, she was a little dumbfounded. ββWhen the rumor first spread, Steward Qin went back and forth to Mrs. Tai, asking if Mrs. Tai needed them to come forward to suppress this rumor. At that time, Mrs. Tai only wanted to make Pei Shufan look good, and let out the evil anger of Chen Biao, who resigned and returned to the army, so she instructed Steward Qin not to interfere, saying that she would "cook", where did she know that it would spread all over the city later.
"Did Steward Qin say anything?" Mrs. Tai was a little afraid that Chu Hua knew that it was she who stopped Qin from taking care of things and didn't let him take care of this matter, so she caused such a big basket.
Chu Huajin sat on the circle chair on the side, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then said, "He said that he was negligent." Recently, I have come back, and he has a lot of things to do, and he is busy with several Zhuangzi and shops, and he has not taken care of it for a while. β
Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "It's not all his fault. It's enough to punish him for three months, and he is too strict with his subordinates, maybe the gains outweigh the losses. "A very emotional look.
Chu Hua was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Mother, do you say Shu Fan has ...... Do you have...... Give paulownia leaves...... Medicine? He didn't care about Tong Ye, he thought of Aunt Fang. Aunt Fang has been with him for three years, and she has been favored the most, but she has never been pregnant. A few days ago, I let the doctor of Baohetang see it, but he didn't find anything wrong, only let the sex be slightly sparse, and it is not easy to get pregnant if it is too dense.
Chu Huajin originally thought that the doctor's words were reasonable, but after listening to Tongye's words today, he was a little unsure.
Mrs. Tai listened to Chu Huajin's words, but she smacked him and said, "You are really a man, you don't understand a woman's mind at all." - If Shu Fan is the kind of person who gives medicine to the concubine room, you will not have so many aunts and concubines and concubines at all. Kiriha is just talking in the vernacular, you can't see it? I don't know what your official did. β
Chu Huajin was also concerned about the chaos, and when he saw that Mrs. Tai denied his thoughts, he was relieved, and said with a smile: "Mother's plan is unparalleled, how can I compare with my mother?" "I took a good look at Mrs. Tai's ass.
Mrs. Tai also scolded him with a smile before she smiled and said with a gloomy face: "Tong Ye is so bold, I underestimate her." β
Chu Huajin is no exception. When Pei Shufan was alive, he was extremely generous. After giving birth to a child, he was always pushed to the concubine's room. And Tong Ye and Tong Xue, since they made his room, have paid more attention to him than to Pei Shufan.
"If you eat a slut like this, it's also a disaster to keep it." Chu Hua went out for a while, only to find that he did have more women. And there are many women, which does not seem to be very beneficial to their careers. Although he is not a civil official and does not have so much control, he wants to go to the next level, and he really needs to pay more attention to women.
Mrs. Tai and Chu Huajin also meant the same thing, the two discussed the disposal of Tong Ye and Mama Zhang, sent Mrs. Tai's henchmen to accompany Liu's mother, and took a few mothers-in-law to Zhonglan Courtyard.
After everyone in the room retreated, Mrs. Tai lowered her voice and said to Chu Hua: "You must also have a bottom in your heart about today's affairs." In our house, no one can shake the status of Yi'er and Humility. β including Shufen. β
Chu Huajin was silent for a long time, and asked with some difficulty: "Mother really thinks that this matter has something to do with Shu Fen?" βγ.γ
