Chapter 41: Embarrassment

Cheng Qing thought about it, maybe this is also the reason, Wang Xiaoshan has not been loved by his mother since he was a child, and finally he was able to treat Xiaoshan as a baby, but the love was given to a little Shuang'er who had only been here for two days.

"Anyway, thank you for this."

"It's also a good thing for me that the teacher was able to reconcile with Xiaoshan."

Wang Zhili saw Wang Xiaoshan who came to move timber and asked, "Does Dad know that you are here?" ”

"Yes." Wang Xiaoshan lifted the wood up: "I apologized to my father, and then came back after dinner." ”

"Hmm." Wang Zhili doesn't care about his son's condition, only Cheng Qing's condition, now that Wang Xiaoshan apologizes, things may start to improve, and Cheng Qing won't be too worried.

Today, the housekeeper of the first shadow family came early, saying that today is a family banquet, and he invited his son home earlier. So after Wang Zhili and Wang Xiaoshan arrived home, Chuying was no longer at home.

In fact, he didn't care at all and didn't want to care, but Wang Xiaoshan still had a face-saving project, and seemed to be particularly concerned: "Father, is Brother Chuying coming home?" Why don't you eat at our house? ”

"He has something at home, and the housekeeper came to pick him up, and he won't come tomorrow, but he will come back the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, that's a pity, I also heard that Sister Xiaoyun bought something delicious today, it's a pity that he can't eat it."

"Go take a bath, don't be hypocritical here..."Cheng Qing couldn't get used to Wang Xiaoshan's villainous appearance, and hurriedly pushed him to take a bath.

Seeing this, Wang Zhili also silently went back to the courtyard to take a bath.

As soon as Hatsukage arrives home, he feels that the atmosphere around him is wrong, especially at home, as if someone is coming, especially quiet.

"Are there any guests in the house?" Hatsukage asks about the maidservant Hatsuo who came out to greet her.

Chu Yang was also nervous: "Early this morning, the old lady who hasn't come to the house for a long time suddenly came today, and the slave didn't know what was going on, and she didn't dare to come forward to inquire, until the old man said that I would let you go home early today, and I was waiting for you in the yard." ”

"My grandma is here?" Hatsukage has no feelings for her grandmother.

The first member is the second son of the old lady, the first son is an official in the capital, and the old lady is taken to the capital.

In addition, Mrs. Chu gave birth to a twin son of Chuying, not to mention that the heirs are thin and there is no son yet, and the first member has not taken any more concubines in the friendship for many years, and the eldest son has three sons, so the old lady can't say that she likes Chuying.

"Well, the old lady brought a bunch of things, and everyone was surprised, isn't this the old lady and the old lady still talking in the lobby!"

Hatsuei always felt that this time things didn't seem to be simple, so he retreated: "Then I'd better go back to the room, I'm stupid and can't say good things, don't let the old man feel unlucky." ”

"You can't do that." Chu Yang stopped Chu Ying: "The master has ordered, if you come back, let you go to the lobby to chat with the old man to relieve your boredom." ”

Hatsukage didn't expect that there was something about him this time, and it was not easy to retreat, so let Hatsuo see if his clothes were decent and hurriedly walked to the lobby, Hatsukage just stepped into the courtyard, and heard laughter from the lobby, and there was an old lady's tough laughter in the voice, I don't know why, Hatsukage's back was shady.

"Chuying has seen grandma and father." Hatsukage stepped forward, smiling, and polite.

The old lady is nearly eighty years old, but because her body and bones are well maintained, she is still very energetic. She fixed her eyes on Shuang'er kneeling on the ground in front of her, and smiled, "It's the first shadow... Grandma can't recognize the signs of this child's growth, come here, let grandma see..."

Chu Ying stood up with a smile and walked to the old lady, letting her face touch it, and said from time to time: "Good boy, you look really good, eight years old this year?" ”

"Yes, in two months I'll be nine years old." The beginner returned to the road.

The old lady said thoughtfully: "Time is really fast, I will choose a relative in a few years, right?" ”

"Mother, it's still early..."Mrs. Chu said cautiously: "Chuying is only eight years old this year, and it will be five or six years before choosing a relative. ”

"In five or six years, we have to start preparing." The smile on the old lady's face faded because of Mrs. Chu's words, and Chu Ying vaguely felt that her old lady seemed to be unhappy.

The junior member resolved his embarrassment and said: "What my mother said is, but in such a small place, it is easy to find a good family to settle down, and I will let my wife take a good staff." ”

"No need, I've got you covered."

The old lady's words were shocking, but Hatsukage was relieved in her heart, she still had to come.

"Mother, do you mean that you have decided on the marriage of the first shadow?" The junior didn't believe what he heard, but the old lady nodded her head, which made the junior outside completely dead.

Mrs. Chu was about to cry, how old is this child, how can she just talk about family affairs like that? They don't know who the other party is, and the old lady's words are too casual!

"Your eldest brother is an official in the court, you don't know it here, every year the emperor chooses a concubine, I want Chuying to learn the etiquette of concubines from an early age, and send them to the palace when the time comes, if you can win the grace of the saint, you will also earn glory for our first family."

The old lady said very simply, the first member and the first lady were in despair.

"Mother, the first shadow is so small, how can you enter the palace as a concubine?" The beginner can't take care of anything else, enter the palace as a concubine, if it is favored, forget it, if it is not favored, it will be ruined in the palace with deep walls for a lifetime!

"I didn't say now." The old lady Chu glanced at her and said, "I mean that Chu Ying will follow me back to the capital, and I will let a special person train him as a concubine." ”

"Grandma, did I agree to this?" Hatsukage stood aside and wanted to be a person who stayed out of the matter, but things were getting more and more wrong, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

The old lady squinted at him: "How did you talk to me?" I'm for your good, if you can get grace, the first family will also shine on the lintel because of you! You can also get the favor and reward for this, and most people don't have this opportunity to enter the palace yet! ”

"I remember that my uncle also has a twin brother who is two years older than me, why don't you train him? He was able to enter the palace earlier than me, so he could have spent less time! ”

"How do you talk!" The old lady slapped the table angrily, her eyes filled with anger.

"First Shadow! Don't be rude! Although the beginner felt sorry for the child, he did not dare to disobey his mother.

"Am I rude?" Chu Ying was speechless: "From childhood to adulthood, the old lady only had my uncle's family in her heart, where did we come from?" went to the capital to enjoy the glory and wealth, and knew the right and wrong, what was the result? It's not the same, the uncle's twin sons are human, and I'm not a human anymore, am I? I'm only eight years old and I've been trained to climb up with men, right? ”

"Smack!" The old lady was angry by Hatsukage's words, and a slap hit Hatsukage's face, and the old lady panted as if she was about to fall down instantly.

Hatsuei ran out of the house like that, he didn't know where to find his place, so he had to take care of himself, and the people who chased him behind him were ignored by him, so he kept walking and walking, I don't know how long he walked, and when he was tired and painful, he looked up and saw that the plaque of the Cheng family was hanging on the door.

Chu Ying knocked desperately at the door, Cheng Qing and Wang Zhili were still eating, Xiao Yun hurriedly ran to the door to look, saw the embarrassed Chu Ying, and exclaimed: "My little ancestor, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Sister Xiaoyun..."The first image saw that the tears of the family's grievances fell, and there were also the servants of the first shadow family who accompanied the family standing outside the door, and with the servants, Xiaoyun invited the group into the house.

"Childe, Childe, the first shadow is here, Childe is coming out..."Xiao Yun saw that the first shadow looked wrong, and he didn't think much about it, and called Cheng Qing, who was still eating.

Cheng Qing saw Chu Ying's appearance, and hurriedly ran to Chu Ying's side, saw the obvious slap mark on his face, and said worriedly: "Chu Ying, what's wrong with Chu Ying?" First Shadow, First Shadow..."

"Teacher, teacher..."Chu Ying finally cried loudly, Wang Zhili and Wang Xiaoshan, who heard the movement, also put down their chopsticks and went to the yard, and saw Chu Ying with messy hair hugging Cheng Qing and crying.

Tired of crying and walking, Chu Ying fell asleep on Cheng Qing's body, Wang Zhili saw that Cheng Qing couldn't hold Chu Ying, so he stepped forward to help, put Chu Ying on the bed and settled down, and said to Xiao Yun: "Go and boil a hot egg and put it on Chu Ying's face to reduce swelling." ”

"Eh, I'll go."

"Niansi, take the people who came with Hatsukage, let them go eat something first, and take them to the courtyard later, I have something to ask them."

"Got it, Brother Cheng."

Cheng Qing helped Chuying cover the quilt, looking at his young age but frowning, not to mention how distressed he was.

"It's okay, let's go out first, you go and eat first." Wang Zhili knew that Cheng Qing was worried, but the child was asleep, and no matter how worried he was, it would be useless.

Cheng Qing shook his head: "How can I eat, you take Xiaoshan to eat." ”

"If you don't go, how can the two of us eat?"

"Hey..." Cheng Qing sighed, and had no choice but to follow Wang Zhili to eat, but he couldn't eat much.

Wang Xiaoshan was just frightened, he always thought that Chuying was a pampered and loved Shuang'er, but that look was something that no boy like him had ever had, let alone a child like him.

"Daddy, Brother Hatsuying will be fine, don't worry, eat more."

"It's okay, Xiaoshan, you eat yours, leave me alone."

In the end, no one could eat, so they sat on the chair, looking at the table of good wine and food, speechless.
