Chapter 157: What Do You Want a Washboard?
In the old lady's yard, as soon as the old lady and Bai Yun heard that Shang Fangyan didn't even care about such a big thing at home, they immediately raised their eyebrows.
In the past ten days, Shang Fangyan has ignored all the big and small things of the family, which has made the old lady and Bai Yun anxious, but thinking that Chu Qiao's health is not yet good, Shang Fangyan should accompany her.
But now this is not the case. If Shang Fangyan doesn't come forward, it will never be solved.
Looking at Shang Fangyan's cold attitude now, the old lady and Bai Yun probably understood something, they knew that Shang Fangyan might be planning to give up the identity of the Shang family in charge, after all, Shang Fangyan took over the Shang family for Chu Qiao, and now it is normal for Shang Fangyan to give up all this for Chu Qiao.
Thinking of this, the old lady and Bai Yun were afraid, if Shang Fangyan left at this time, he would no longer care about the affairs of the Shang family. The Shang family doesn't know what the chaos will become, and the entire Shang family's century-old foundation may be destroyed in one fell swoop.
didn't have time to hesitate, the old lady and Bai Yun hurriedly went to find Chu Qiao, they both knew very well that the only person who could convince Shang Fangyan now was Chu Qiao.
At this time, Chu Qiao had already returned to her and Shang Fang Yan's courtyard, and Shang Fang Yan went to the council hall after sending Chu Qiao back to the courtyard.
Chu Qiao, who was lying on the chaise longue reading a book, heard the maid say that the old lady and Bai Yun were coming, and immediately understood the purpose of the old lady and Bai Yun coming to her at this time, looking at the old lady and Bai Yun who had already arrived at the door, Chu Qiao put down the book in his hand and got up to greet him at the door.
"Grandmother, mother."
"Chu Qiao, this time you can save your grandmother." As soon as the old lady saw Chu Qiao, she held her hand excitedly, and her anxious tears were in her eyes.
"Yes, Chu Qiao, you can save us all." Bai Yun helped the old lady, and her heart was more anxious than the old lady. The fork order is carried wildly.
Chu Qiao was unhurried when he saw the old lady and Bai Yun like ants on a hot pot. "Grandmother, mother, you come and sit down first, and talk slowly if you have something."
The old lady nodded in response, and did not let Chu Qiao help, but took Chu Qiao's hand and walked into the house together, and only sighed and said after everyone sat down, "Chu Qiao, we were not good before, and we were bitter for you and Ayan, if you blame your grandmother and your mother, you can say it." Don't continue to suffer yourself. ”
Chu Qiao smiled faintly, took the teacup from the servant's hand and put it in front of the old lady and Bai Yun, "Grandmother, those things have passed, I know that you have accepted me sincerely now, and you are sincere in treating me well." ”
The old lady took Chu Qiao's hand and asked her to sit down beside her, and said earnestly, "You know, although Ayan has known that he is the first heir of the Shang family since he was a child, he has not been determined to inherit the family business since he was a child, and it was not his willingness to accept the Shang family at the beginning, but your mother and I promised him to marry you as a wife, so he reluctantly agreed to take over the Shang family." ”
Listened to what Shang Fangyan said to her on the back mountain. Chu Qiao was no longer surprised to hear the old lady's words again, so he just waited quietly for the old lady to say the following, and did not interject.
Seeing that Chu Qiao just smiled faintly and didn't speak, the old lady continued, "Grandmother knows that Ayan loves you and spoils you, he can't live without you, and in the future, grandmother will treat you as my own granddaughter just as Ayan loves you and spoils you." ”
"Grandmother. You and Mother are treating me very well now, I know. Chu Qiao responded.
The old lady nodded, and old tears flowed, "But grandmother and your mother now know that it is useless to be good to you, and Ayan is no longer willing to forgive us." ”
Well, things finally come to the point.
Chu Qiao smiled, "Grandmother, you think too much, you and your mother are Ayan's closest people, how can he hate you." ”
The old lady's old tears continued to fall, and she stroked the back of Chu Qiao's hand and said with a look of self-reproach, "You don't know, Ayan has been angry with us for a long time, but he doesn't care about the big and small things of the family, even if your third uncle has an accident today." ”
Seeing that the old lady and Bai Yun were anxious and sad, Chu Qiao didn't want to continue to go around in circles with them, raised his hand to wipe the old lady's tears, Chu Qiao smiled and said, "Grandmother, you are too worried, Ayan really didn't get angry with you, he has now gone to the council hall to deal with the yacht explosion with everyone." ”
"Really?!" The old lady and Bai Yun were both overjoyed, and they couldn't believe it, because they knew Shang Fangyan's character too well, and the decision he made would definitely not be changed easily, unless it was Chu Qiao who persuaded Shang Fangyan.
Looking at Chu Qiao, the old lady and Bai Yun were all grateful.
"Chu Qiao, you are really a good boy who is sensible and knowledgeable, it was your grandmother who was blind and blindfolded before to do those things to you."
Chu Qiao shook his head, "Grandmother, the past has passed, not to mention that most of the fault is that Ayan is not someone else, and Ayan and I will honor you together in the future." ”
The old lady nodded with relief on her face, and her heart was completely relaxed.
Bai Yun was also moved when she heard Chu Qiao's last words, stretched out her hand to hug Chu Qiao, and let out a long sigh, "Good boy, you will be my daughter in the future, and I will never treat you badly again." ”
***********
When Shang Fangyan came back from the meeting hall, it was already three hours later, and when he walked into the room, he saw Chu Qiao sitting at the Go table with a contemplative expression, playing chess with Shang Fangxu with a comfortable face.
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Shang Fangyan raised his lips and smiled and walked to the chess table and glanced at it, knowing the form on the chess table, Chu Qiao looked up at Shang Fangyan, and met his gentle gaze, pouting, Chu Qiao's face was a little pleading.
Shang Fangyan smiled, took the white child from Chu Qiao's hand, which already carried her body temperature, and then raised his hand to fall.
"Daddy, do you think it's possible for you to help Mommy get this back?" Shang Fangxu tilted his head and said defiantly.
Chu Qiao leaned at Shang Fangxu, and had to sigh in her heart that she and Shang Fangyan were perfect after the combination of genetics, even if Shang Fangxu, who was only seven years old, had already given her ten seeds, but she was still embarrassed to tell others that she was a graduate student who graduated from Columbia University.
Shang Fangyan sneered at Shang Fangxu very disapprerovingly, "What do you think?" ”
Shang Fangxu shook his head, "I don't think it's possible." ”
Shang Fangyan raised his lips and smiled, "Then try it, kid." ”
Dare to provoke you Lao Tzu, you are still too tender!
"Okay." Shang Fangxu was full of confidence, because this game of chess was really indiscriminate by Chu Qiao, and if he could win it back, it would be a myth.
Shang Fangyan smiled again, "But if I win, you have to return my wife to me immediately." ”
Shang Fangxu almost wanted to roll his eyes, your wife is still my mommy!
"Okay, if you win, I'll go to the library and go through all the chess games at once."
Shang Fangyan nodded with satisfaction, "Deal." ”
Chu Qiao raised his eyebrows and watched the battle between the two fathers and sons with great interest, silent.
Shang Fangyan looked at Shang Fangxu, who looked imminent, and the chess pieces in his hand fell without hesitation, and then looked at Chu Qiao, sat down close to her, one hand naturally circled Chu Qiao's waist, and the other hand went to take the chess pieces.
Shang Fangxu looked at Shang Fangyan's genius stroke, and suddenly felt that the entire chess game had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Wow! His daddy is really not ordinary.
Raising his eyes and glancing at Shang Fangyan and Chu Qiao, Shang Fangxu dropped the sunspot in his hand with some difficulty.
Shang Fangyan rubbed his chin against Chu Qiao's shoulder and smiled, proud in his heart, and raised his hand to drop again.
Shang Fangxu looked at the falling white son, and suddenly wailed in his heart, "Daddy, you are so insidious!" ”
Chu Qiao looked at the entire chess game with a surprised face, and then he realized that Shang Fangyan's first son actually deliberately set a trap to lure Shang Fangxu to take the hook, and after Shang Fangxu took the hook, he hit his pulse again, which suddenly ruined Shang Fangxu's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy!
Shang Fangyan looked at Shang Fangxu, who was wailing, and raised his eyebrows very calmly, "This is not called insidious, this is called surprise, defeating the enemy." ”
The corners of Shang Fangxu's mouth twitched, and he really couldn't be too arrogant in front of his Lao Tzu, otherwise he would suffer hardship.
"If you want to lose the bet, go hide and go to the building."
"Oh." Shang Fangxu stood up with a look of pride and then turned around, "Mommy, you don't need to call me for dinner, if I'm hungry, you can just find trouble with Daddy." ”
Chu Qiao smiled, "Okay, I know, I'll have someone bring you food." ”
Shang Fangxu turned his head and glared fiercely at the pair of inhuman parents, turned his head and strode away.
Looking at Shang Fangxu's small back, Chu Qiao regretted in her heart, what a happy thing it would be if she could grow up with Xiao Xu in the past seven years!
Feeling Chu Qiao's faint sigh, Shang Fangyan of course knew what Chu Qiao was thinking at this time, and he knew that the regret and lack he brought to her could not be made up.
"Wife, I'm sorry." Shang Fangyan hugged Chu Qiao's side face and pressed against her side face, with strong self-reproach in his eyes.
Chu Qiao suddenly turned around and looked at Shang Fangyan, "Apologies can't just be said, they must be a little sincere." ”
Shang Fangyan didn't understand what Chu Qiao's so-called sincerity was, "As long as you say it, I will definitely do it." ”
Chu Qiao nodded with satisfaction, "Well, I don't know if there is that kind of wooden washboard at home?" ”
Shang Fangyan frowned, unable to guess Chu Qiao's thoughts for the first time, "What do you want that?" ”
"You can kneel on it tonight, and then you won't have to sleep in bed."
Yes!
Thinking about the picture of him kneeling on the washboard and watching Chu Qiao sleeping on the bed, Shang Fangyan suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.
*************
Because he intended to withdraw from the Shang family's family business, and Shang Haorui was seriously injured and is now recuperating, all Shang Fangyan began to hand over more and more important matters of the Shang family to Shang Yu to deal with, and Shang Rong has just graduated, although he has known a lot about the Shang family's business since he was a child, but he can't be in charge alone, in order for Shang Rong to be familiar with the Shang family's business as soon as possible, Shang Fangyan arranged Shang Rong to be by Chen Dong's side.
Chen Dong has been by Shang Fangyan's side since he was a child, he is mature, steady and measured, and with Shang Fangyan's instructions, Chen Dong will naturally teach Shang Rong.
In this way, Shang Fangyan would have more time to accompany Chu Qiaohe to do his own research.
At the same time, Shang Fangyan also gradually let Chu Qiao participate in the decision-making of the Shang family's affairs, although Shang Fangyan may not necessarily adopt Chu Qiao's opinion on many things, but many important things will listen to her opinions first, and then decide how to do it.
And Chu Qiao had nothing to do because she was recuperating from her injuries in the old house, and she was also willing to go to the conference hall with Shang Fangyan to attend some important meetings, she didn't care about what she could do, but as long as she was by Shang Fangyan's side, listening to him and watching him do things, she felt that it was a kind of happiness.
Although the Shang family used to have a rule that women were not allowed to interfere with the Shang family's business, the old lady and Bai Yun did not have any objection to Shang Fangyan letting Chu Qiao participate in various important meetings, but instead expressed their support in words and deeds.
Since the old lady and Bai Yun didn't say much, naturally no one would dare to have any opinions, and in various affairs, Chu Qiao's opinions were not only assertive, but also unique and sharp, and he could often hit the nail on the head, originally Chu Qiao had an excellent personality, was gentle and humble, and reasonable, so the rest of the Shang family was even more impressed with Chu Qiao, and treated Chu Qiao with the same respect as Shang Fangyan.
Just after breakfast in the morning, the chief manager came over and said that the old lady and Bai Yun had something to do and wanted to invite Chu Qiao to the old lady's yard, but Chu Qiao had nothing to do, so he immediately agreed.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Shang Fangyan pulled Chu Qiao and asked.
Chu Qiao shook his head, "No, don't you want to have a video conference with Ayu on the German side, don't delay." ”
Shang Fangyan raised his eyebrows, now that Chu Qiao has become half of his assistant, she knows exactly what meetings he wants to hold every day.
"Okay, I'll go look for you when the meeting is over."
Chu Qiao smiled brightly, nodded and went to the old lady's courtyard with the chief manager.
Although it was still early, the old lady's courtyard was already very lively, and the female dependents with status in the old mansion had already gathered in the old lady's courtyard, everyone saw Chu Qiao come in, except for the old lady and Bai Yun, everyone got up and greeted Chu Qiao, Chu Qiao responded with a smile one by one, and when she walked to the old lady and sat down, the others sat down again.
The old lady took Chu Qiao's hand with a smile and looked at Chu Qiao and said, "Xiao Qiao, your injuries are almost recovered, and when you are completely healed, you and Ayan's marriage will be done, today I called everyone here just to let everyone make a reference for you and see what kind of wedding you want to hold." ”
Do you really want to hold another grand wedding for her monk Fang Yan?
Chu Qiao lowered her eyes and smiled, her cheeks were dyed with a faint scarlet color, she really didn't think that she would marry Shang Fangyan again in a beautiful way.
However, thinking of Shang Fangyan's deception of himself for so many years, Chu Qiao didn't plan to cheapen Shang Fangyan so easily, and even if he wanted to marry again, he would have to wait for their contractual relationship to end.
"Grandmother, mother, Ayan and I have never thought about having a wedding, and it is too early to prepare."
"Of course the wedding is needed, your injuries should be completely healed in less than half a month, and it's not too early to prepare." As she spoke, the old lady glanced at the main pipe on the side, "Call everyone in, and bring everything up." ”
The chief manager nodded, and then more than a dozen well-dressed and elderly men and women walked in, and then they all respectfully greeted Bai Yun and Chu Qiao, the old ladies sitting in the first seat.
The old lady agreed with a smile, looked at Chu Qiao and said, "These are the old tailors of the Shang family, they will prepare the wedding dress you will wear on your wedding day, just tell them what you think." ”
Chu Qiao nodded, she knew that the Shang family had its own handicraft workshop, and all the clothes of the Shang family were from the Shang family's handicraft workshop, and the Shang family's handicraft workshop had gathered many talented designers, otherwise the clothes she wore would not be all the best of the best.
"Okay, I'll go back and think about it, and communicate with them if I have any ideas."
"You all make a unique move, first design some models for the young lady to see, not only the dresses and clothes used for this wedding, but also the clothes that the young lady usually wears have taken more effort to design more."
"Yes, old lady." More than a dozen tailors nodded in response.
After the tailors had retreated, more than a dozen servants entered, all carrying various large and small delicate jewelry boxes.
"Xiao Qiao, these jewelry are all prepared for you, see if you like it."
Chu Qiao was really dazzled when he looked at the dazzling array of jewelry that was opened in front of him one by one, especially the pink diamond the size of an egg instantly dimmed the sight in the room, which was shocking.
Bai Yun looked at Chu Qiao's expression when he saw the egg-sized pink diamond and smiled and explained, "This pink diamond was mined in a diamond mine in South Africa a few years ago, and it should be the largest pink diamond in the world so far, but except for the Shang family, the world does not know the existence of this pink diamond, it has always been kept by me before, and now it belongs to you, and this kind of pink diamond is also the most suitable for you." ”
Chu Qiao listened to Bai Yun's words and thought silently in her heart, what is she going to do with such a big diamond, she wants a diamond that can only be held in a fist, she can't let her be set in a ring or tied to a chain around her neck, then she will be exhausted.
The old lady saw Chu Qiao's slightly surprised look and nodded and said, "Most of these jewels are handed down from ancestors, and the others are rare in the world in recent years, and they are rarely known by outsiders, and now you are the young lady of our Shang family, all of this should be yours." ”
Chu Qiao looked at these priceless pieces of jewelry and sighed infinitely, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the treasures treasured by these ladies in the backyard of the Shang family are also an immeasurable wealth.
Therefore, it is not too much to say that there is a small empire in the old mansion of the Shang family.
"Grandmother, mother, these are too precious for me to want." Chu Qiao really didn't want these things, and if any of them were missing, she wouldn't feel sorry for her.
The old lady patted the back of Chu Qiao's hand and glanced at her with disgust, "You are Ayan's wife and one of the most noble women in our Shang family, and these are naturally yours." ”
"Yes, Little Joe, I know you don't usually like to wear these jewelry, but some jewelry is worn to raise people." Saying that, Bai Yun took out a transparent blood jade bracelet from a jewelry box and put it on Chu Qiao's hand, "You see how suitable this blood jade bracelet is for you, you are weak now, and it is the most suitable to wear this." ”
Chu Qiao smiled, of course he couldn't take off the bracelet in front of everyone, so he could only nod and say, "Thank you, mother." ”
The old lady also smiled and nodded, "Well, yes, this is indeed the most suitable for you to wear, the chief manager, order someone to send these to Xiao Qiao's yard." ”
Yes!
Chu Qiao wailed in her heart, she felt that she would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.
The chief steward nodded, and then led all the servants with the boxes of jewelry to withdraw.
"Come, Chu Qiao, tell grandmother if you have any good ideas for the wedding."
Chu Qiao shook her head, she never thought about it, she never dreamed that she would marry Shang Fangyan again in a wedding dress, but now she didn't dare, she didn't plan to be so cheap Shang Fangyan.
"It's okay, everyone is here today, just let everyone come and give you ideas." As she spoke, the old lady looked at everyone, and then encouraged, "Come, everyone can bring out any good ideas." ”
Everyone sitting there was still silent in the box of dazzling jewelry just now, and did not come back to their senses, hearing the old lady shouting like this, everyone showed a smile, and then you and I offered advice and advice.
Chu Qiao felt a little numb in her brain when she listened to everyone's words and my words, she still felt that it was easier to have a meeting or discuss things with Shang Fangyan, and what she was looking forward to most at this moment was that Shang Fangyan suddenly appeared and saved her from the dire situation.
However, God seems to have begun to favor Chu Qiao very much, thinking that Cao Cao will actually Cao Cao arrived.
Shang Fangyan's handsome figure suddenly made Chu Qiao suddenly feel rescued, Shang Fangyan strode to Chu Qiao without squinting and took her up, and then said to the old lady, "Grandmother, it's time for Chu Qiao to take medicine, you talk first, I'll take her back." ”
"Okay, well, it's important to take medicine, the sooner you take care of your body, the sooner you can hold the big wedding, let's go."
Chu Qiao let out a long sigh in his heart, and followed Shang Fangyan out of the old lady's courtyard as if he had escaped.
Basking in the warm and comfortable morning sun, lazily leaning on Shang Fangyan's shoulder, and slowly strolling through the garden with Shang Fangyan half-hugging and half-hugging, Chu Qiao leaned at Shang Fangyan and asked, "Is the meeting over?" ”
"Nope." Shang Fangyan looked at Chu Qiao and pinched the bridge of her nose with a doting expression.
"Then how are you free?"
Shang Fangyan smiled, he knew that Chu Qiao was the most unsuitable to deal with a group of women who stayed in the house all day and only knew the shortcomings of their parents, so he deliberately ran to save her.
"I'll wait for you, go back and we'll start the meeting together."
Chu Qiao glared at Shang Fangyan, "Then you are still here basking in the sun, why don't you go back soon." ”
Shang Fangyan sweated silently in his heart! It's as if someone is enjoying it more than he does.
