Chapter 9: Heartbeat
Jealous?
How is this possible......
Chu Yunxi was stunned by what he said, he didn't know him before, and he didn't fall in love with him at first sight, how could he be jealous.
Li Mu, the king of Yingchuan, was there again pretending to be confused, and he could still joke at this time.
Chu Yunxi was a little helpless, and said, "Lord Wang, why do you have to joke about this kind of thing?" When others hear it, they will definitely misunderstand. ”
Li Mu had a smile and strong affection between his eyebrows, and his voice sounded quite sincere, and said, "It seems that I haven't done well enough these days, so Miss Chu doesn't believe in my sincerity." ”
Wholehearted?
Chu Yunxi wanted to laugh a little, if Li Mu said that Li Mu was sincere to Dou Ruya, then Chu Yunxi believed it. Of course, Li Mu's sincerity towards the throne, Chu Yunxi also firmly believes. But for such a "stranger" as himself, I really can't see any sincerity.
Li Mu was affectionate, and his expression was extremely serious, and he said: "Xiao Wang thinks that he is much better than the third son of the Shen family, and there is nothing inferior to him." If Miss Chu is willing to marry, Xiao Wang dares to swear to the sky that Miss Chu will not be wronged in the future. ”
Chu Yunxi was shocked when he heard this, and his heart beat wildly twice. That Li Mu is the dragon and phoenix among the people, whether it is appearance or bearing, it is incomparable to others, handsome and unpretentious, like a fairy, this time it is serious, and it is more attractive for no reason.
To be honest, Chu Yunxi was a little excited at this moment. But it was not because of Li Mu's appearance, nor because of Li Mu's affectionate style, she had another plan in her heart.
Chu Yunxi knew very well that Li Mu didn't say this because he loved himself. Although Li Mu said affectionately just now, he didn't express any admiration, he just said that he dared to swear to the sky and not let Chu Yunxi be wronged. The meaning of this sounds ambiguous, but in fact, there are many twists and turns.
But it just so happened that what Chu Yunxi needed now was not a man's love for her. In comparison, Li Mu's power is more urgently needed for the Chu family.
If you can hug the thick thigh of Yingchuan Wang Li Mu, then the tragedy of the Chu family in the future may be avoided.
Chu Yunxi's heart was beating, his eyes flickered twice, and he was thinking about how to reply to Li Mu's words.
Just when she was undecided in her heart, after a glance, Chu Yunxi was a little confused.
There were people at the gate of the Chu family's mansion, and they didn't know when they came, they all blamed Chu Yunxi for being too focused just now, so they all came to the front and found out.
And it was no one else who hurried to the door of the Chu family, it turned out to be the head of the Chu family, General Chu Jiutang Chu himself.
Although General Chu can no longer be said to be young, his sideburns are slightly white, but his body is strong, and he has to dance with knives and guns every day, which is much tougher than those sons and brothers who are powerless. There is a majestic aura around him, and he is worthy of being a general all his life.
Originally, Chu Jiutang received the holy decree, and at this time, he should be on the frontier to resist foreign enemies. But because I heard about the incident in Beijing, I rushed back at this time.
Chu Yunxi was taken aback, he didn't expect that "his" father would come back so soon, he was really caught off guard.
And Chu Jiutang came back at the right time, and he heard the affectionate confession of Li Mu, the king of Yingchuan, clearly.
"General Chu." When Li Mu saw Chu Jiutang, his behavior was quite regular.
"The prince is here, how to stand here, please go inside and talk." Chu Jiutang returned the salute and turned over from Mashan and said.
Chu Yunxi was a fake Miss of the Chu family, she was a little flustered when she saw Chu Jiutang for a while, and she was a little afraid of revealing anything.
However, Chu Jiutang didn't seem to notice that something was wrong with her, and first welcomed King Yingchuan into the mansion, and then took the time to shush her and ask her for warmth, and then let Chu Yunxi go back to the courtyard first, saying that he had something to say to King Yingchuan alone.
Chu Yunxi took the two maids and returned to his yard together.
Manhe and Shui Cui didn't expect the old man to come back so soon, they both looked worried, grinding back and forth beside Chu Yunxi.
Here, Manhe said: "Miss, what did the master say?" ”
Shui Cui over there also asked, "Did you scold Miss?" ”
Manhe said: "It's not that Miss regrets her marriage, why do you want to scold Miss." ”
Shui Cui nodded and said: "That's what I said, it is the three young people of the Shen family who regret the marriage, and our young lady has done nothing wrong at all." ”
Chu Yunxi listened to what they said, and said, "Don't turn around, don't talk nonsense, Daddy didn't scold me." ”
When Manhe and Shui Cui heard this, they calmed down, but after a while, Manhe began to worry again.
Manhe hesitated for a long time, and then said: "The slave maid heard that the lady also came back with her, but because she was unwell, the foot on the way to Beijing was slow, and she would arrive tonight at the latest." ”
When Shui Cui heard this, he said, "Oh, that lady is back...... But how can it be good? ”
Chu Yunxi also had a headache, although there were not many descriptions of Chu Yunxi's father and mother in the original book, but in a word, the characters of General Chu and his wife were still written.
Chu Jiutang was not fair, but because he was too rigid and didn't know how to be flexible, he was finally framed for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, which affected the Chu family.
Chu Jiutang has been such a lady all his life, and he has no other concubines. Therefore, the backyard is thin, and there is no son, just Chu Yunxi, a girl who has always been held and spoiled.
Speaking of this Mrs. Chu, she is envied by many people in the original book, after all, Chu Jiutang is very affectionate to her, the man next to her has three wives and four concubines, and even the male protagonist Shen Haobo is sometimes indecided, it is rare to have such an infatuated man, it is indeed a rare thing.
It's just that at the end of the book, Chu Jiutang was framed for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, but he didn't expect that there would be a "credit" from his wife, which was also something Chu Yunxi never expected, and it was a divine turning point in the book.
Mrs. Chu looks gentle and virtuous on weekdays, she doesn't look like a "bad" person at all, she likes to appreciate flowers and paint, and she is very strict with her daughter Chu Yunxi's discipline. Now that Chu Yunxi's marriage is yellow, if her mother knows, she will definitely have some teaching.
Manhe said with a sad face: "When the lady comes back, I'm afraid I will have to teach the slave and maid a few hours." ”
Shui Cui nodded with a slumped head, she couldn't run either. What kind of family training, kneeling in the ancestral hall, etc., maybe you will have to be whipped a few times.
Chu Yunxi was not afraid of this, he was a little distracted at this time, thinking that he didn't know what his father and King Yingchuan were talking about.
Chu Jiutang's personality is too upright, and he will not speak in a roundabout way, and he often doesn't like to hear others as soon as he speaks. In the book, Chu Jiutang and Li Mu had a slight discord, and it was also because Chu Jiutang saw that Li Mu had ill intentions towards the throne, so he had always been quite jealous of him.
It's a pity that Chu Jiutang has been loyal all his life, but in the end he was still suspicious and jealous, and he ended up in a different place.
Chu Yunxi was a little worried about the conversation between Chu Jiutang and Li Mu, afraid that Chu Jiutang would have a prejudice against Li Mu, and if he accidentally offended Li Mu, it would be difficult to do.
"Miss!"
Manhe smiled and said, "Miss has a sad face, but what are you worried about?" ”
Chu Yunxi glanced at Manhe and said, "As far as you are shrewd, anyone dares to guess their mind." ”
Manhe smiled again and said, "Miss is worried about the prince, worried about what the lord said to the prince?" Why don't you let Manhe go and inquire secretly? ”
Chu Yunxi was indeed worried about this, but it was a little different from what Manhe thought.
Chu Yunxi didn't bother to explain, thought about it, and simply nodded: "It's okay, then you go and take a sneak look, don't be discovered." ”
