Chapter 54 The Mansion of the State of Chu
Chu Lanhua is the daughter of the second room of the Duke of Chu, born with bright eyes and bright teeth, a sharp and pretty melon seed face, snowy skin and cherry lips, and black hair like clouds. In particular, she is slender and very gorgeous, which makes her have both the luxury of a lady and the delicate beauty of a small jasper.
It's exactly the type that Xiao Qian likes.
It's just that this time is different from the past, where does Xiao Qian have the heart to be tender and sweet with her?
smiled at the moment, "It turns out that Miss Chu is also here." ”
"Yes, since the Lantern Festival, I haven't seen His Highness for some days." Chu Lanhua spoke softly, with a little shyness between her eyebrows. Although the weather was still a little cold, she had already changed into a spring shirt, hung her head slightly, and revealed a snow-white neck.
She secretly glanced at Xiao Qian and saw that he was also looking at herself. It's just that although he has a smile on his face, there seems to be an inextricable sorrow in his eyes.
Chu Lanhua thought of the rumors he heard early this morning, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiao Qian.
In her opinion, the Seventh Prince is a gentle and elegant person, and such a man must be very affectionate. I heard that there is only one concubine in his mansion, but she is still blushing, what kind of strong smile should the current Seven Princes have?
Thinking like this, her eyes turned red, and she only raised a pair of misty eyes, with a little cry: "Your Highness......"
Xiao Qian was a little confused.
It's just to say hello, how can this young lady of the Chu family be the same as if she did something that couldn't stop her?
"Miss Chu is going to buy jewelry? Then I'll not bother for now. Xiao Qian said, then bowed his hand to Chu Lanhua and hurriedly walked out of the Golden Tower.
Chu Lanhua looked at his Xiao Suo's back, and finally couldn't help choking out.
"Second sister, what's wrong?" Chu Xuanhua came down from upstairs and saw Chu Lanhua standing in the middle of the hall, hiding his mouth and crying.
Next to him is a helpless young man.
Chu Xuanhua was raised as a beautiful lady in the Guogong Mansion, and her behavior was all dignified and beautiful. Seeing Chu Lanhua crying in public like this, he only frowned, then went downstairs and walked over and asked softly, "But the wind is blind?" ”
Because there are many gatherings in the capital in the spring, as the ladies of the Duke of Chu, they naturally can't wear old and shabby. Therefore, the Duchess of Chu Guo had already customized several sets of gold and jade heads in this golden building, and Chu Xuanhua tried them on at work. She didn't know that it only took a while for Chu Lanhua to see Xiao Qian.
Chu Xuanhua thought, no matter what the reason is, it is always inappropriate for Chu Lanhua to cry outside like this, and if it is spread out, it will inevitably make people say that Chu Lanhua is not generous.
Therefore, she wanted to help make the past happen.
However, Chu Lanhua didn't understand her kindness, choked a few times, and then cried into the arms of the maid next to her, and went without saying a word.
The golden building is divided into two floors, and the second floor is a private room, which is specially used to entertain distinguished guests. On the first floor, there is a large hall with tables and chairs for waiting guests. The door on the first floor is open for business.
In the splendid building, the brightly dressed girl cried uncontrollably, so that the people who came and went on the street couldn't help but stop and stretch their necks to look in.
Chu Xuanhua was angry and embarrassed, so she simply didn't ask anymore, and only asked the shopkeeper to wrap the jewelry and send it to the Guogong Mansion together. She gave her two maids a look, and said patiently: "The second sister must be unwell, let's go back quickly and ask the imperial doctor to take a look." ”
The two maids understood, walked over and pretended to appease Chu Lanhua, and then set up the person and walked out: "Second Miss, let's go back quickly." ”
Stuffing people into the carriage and lowering the curtain, Chu Xuanhua rubbed her eyebrows and hurriedly got into the carriage.
saw Chu Lanhua opening the window and wanted to look out.
"Have you made enough trouble?" Because she was in the car, Chu Xuanhua was not afraid that others would see it, so she only shouted in a deep voice, "Okay, what's crazy outside?" Look at you, but there is still a trace of Miss Guogongfu's appearance? ”
She is the eldest sister, with a calm temperament, and she is the most loved by the old county lord on weekdays. With this face, Chu Lanhua was really a little afraid.
It's just that this fear is only for a moment, and then it becomes even more sad, and only tears roll down.
"That's it!" Chu Xuanhua pressed the corner of her forehead and frowned, "What's the matter?" Huan Huan came out to buy noodles and went back like this? ”
Chu Lanhua hung his head and wept, but refused to speak.
Chu Xuanhua's phoenix eyes narrowed, and asked Chu Lanhua's maid, "You say, what's the matter!" ”
The maid shrunk her neck, peeked at Chu Lanhua, saw her shaking her head again and again, and was about to speak, when she heard Chu Xuanhua say coldly: "You can talk about it after you think about it." If half of the word is false, I will guarantee that your family will not be able to stay in the Guogong Mansion. ”
The little maid was startled.
Her mother is the companion of the second wife of the Chu family, but her father is the son of the Chu family. Although they are all serving in the second room now, after all, the two rooms are not separated, and the house is the big house, Chu Xuanhua's words are almost equal to the words of Mrs. Dafang.
didn't dare to lie at the moment, so she only whispered: "Just now, the second young lady met the Seventh Highness." ”
Chu Xuanhua was stunned, His Royal Highness the Seventh? Xiao Qian?
"Second sister, you!" She couldn't help but get angry, "Have you forgotten your grandmother's words?" ”
The old county lord is a very smart person, who has experienced three emperors, and has seen too much of the royal family, no matter which way you look at it, you will not let your bloodline fall into this kind of dispute. Therefore, in recent years, the Duke of Chu has never married the royal family.
The battle between Empress Shen and Concubine Li has become more and more fierce in recent years, and various tricks have been used frequently to win over courtiers and magnates. For example, if there is a real power family like the Duke of Chu, neither party will give up.
In this case, the old county lord would not let his granddaughter have more dealings with the prince.
Therefore, Chu Lanhua and Xiao Qian of Lantern Festival Lantern City traveled together, and after they came back, they were severely reprimanded by the old county lord, and she was also punished for copying the female ring dozens of times as a punishment.
Chu Lanhua thought that his wrists were swollen from copying scriptures, and he lowered his eyes to hide the dissatisfaction in his eyes.
She didn't understand, her grandmother was born in the clan, and speaking of which, the ladies of her Chu State Mansion all had the blood of the royal family in their bodies. How honorable!
Why didn't my grandmother go one step further?
Or is her mother right, her grandmother's heart is biased towards the big house, and she will never be called the second room any glory. She didn't believe that if it was Chu Xuanhua who was close to Xiao Qian or other princes, her grandmother would still have that attitude!
Chu Xuanhua saw that she hung her head and didn't speak, but her face was clearly unconvinced, so she didn't say anything more, and smiled coldly. The people in the second room, from her second uncle and aunt to several cousins and sisters, are all holding back their strength to compete with the big room.
Especially her second aunt, these days she talks with a gun and a stick, and it's better to be in front of her grandmother, don't go over, how sour it will be. If she hadn't been afraid that her grandmother would be angry, she would have told her grandmother a long time ago.
It was easy to get to the Guogong Mansion, Chu Lanhua got out of the car and wanted to go back to the second room, Chu Xuanhua didn't stop her, seeing that she walked out with the maid not far away, her backhand was a slap in the face of the little maid, she only shook her head, and came to the old county lord's house of forgetfulness.
Forget Worries is not luxurious, and all the furnishings are designed with comfort in mind.
The old county lord was talking to the Duchess of Chu, and when he saw Chu Xuanhua walking in with a somewhat bad face, the Duchess of Chu asked with a smile: "What's wrong?" Didn't you go shopping with your sister for jewelry? Is it not to your liking? ”
After a series of questions, the old county lord also laughed, "You are telling the child to take a breath." ”
Chu Xuanhua untied the cloak on his body, first asked the old county lord and the duchess of Chu to say goodbye, and then sat down next to the old county lord.
After thinking about it a few times in his heart, he still said that Chu Lanhua cried all the way after seeing Xiao Gan.
If the old county lord didn't listen, he was furious.
The hand with the jasper bracelet slapped heavily on the table, "What a sin! ”
called someone to call someone to come over again, and Chu Xuanhua hurriedly persuaded him: "Grandmother is so good to save me some face." At this time, you called the second sister, although it is a loving heart, how can she not hate me in her heart? ”
"She dares!" The old county lord said angrily. However, after all, he still listened to Chu Xuanhua's persuasion, but he couldn't hide his anger between his eyebrows.
The Duchess of Chu looked at her face and said, "It's not that I said, the second brother and the second brother and sister are too indulgent of Lan Ya. Although it is now more civilized than before, a girl who has not been out of the cabinet will cry when she sees a man. ”
This is actually a bit provocative, but it is also true. The old county lord knew that the two daughters-in-law refused to obey anyone openly and secretly, and the second room had a lot of thoughts, and it was difficult for the two of them to be accommodated by the big house. Therefore, he refused to criticize the Duchess of Chu very harshly, and only said lightly: "The two of them don't know how to teach their children, and you, as an aunt, should also be dedicated." “
The Duchess of Chu said with a smile: "Yes." ”
But in my heart I was pouting.
Who can't see the careful thinking of the two people in the second room? One door wants to send his daughter to the nobleman, isn't he just thinking about pressing the big house?
It's a pity that the two girls, Chu Xuanhua and Chu Lanhua, the old county lord has long had a plan.
Sure enough, I heard the old county lord sigh and said to her: "The children are all older, and this family matter should also be put on the agenda." Xuan'er ......"
Chu Xuanhua's face turned red and she was about to stand up and go out, but was motioned by the old county lord to sit down, "Xuan'er has passed the age of Xuan'er, and it is said that it should have been settled a long time ago." At the beginning, I watched her get close to the girl of the Wei family, and I thought that I would give her to the brother of the girl of the Wei family. It was also a first-class family, with a simple population, and there were no concubines in two or three generations. It's just that I didn't expect the Wei family to be ...... Forget it, fortunately, this marriage was not mentioned, otherwise, Xuan'er would have been difficult. ”
Hearing the old county lord mention Wei Zifeng, Chu Xuanhua lowered his head. She had seen the man who was as tall as a green pine and jade bamboo, unlike other high-ranking disciples in the capital, Wei Zifeng was extremely strict anytime and anywhere, dignified, cold, and always alienated, but it made people look at it, and there was an inexplicable peace of mind.
A trace of pain passed through her heart, and Chu Xuanhua hurriedly covered it up.
did not ignore her granddaughter's face that instantly turned pale, the old county lord felt pity, she knew her granddaughter's thoughts, but no matter what, the Wei family was gone. Wei Zifeng, whether he is dead or alive, is destined to have no chance with Xuanhua.
"The Dingguo Mansion is also a world friend with our family. The second son of his family is said to be a rare good child. ”
This means that he wants to match Chu Xuanhua to the Guogong Mansion.
The Duchess of Chu had heard her husband mention it a long time ago, and she was not surprised. Chu Xuanhua raised her head and said softly, "Grandmother, my granddaughter doesn't want to get married. Wouldn't it be nice to call your granddaughter to you? ”
"What a silly girl." The old county lord smiled, "Where is there a girl who is too old to marry?" You can rest assured, although the Dingguo Mansion has not been in Beijing all these years, but a few days ago I sent someone back to the capital, and when I came to ask for peace, I said that it would be in the past two or three months to return to Beijing. When the time comes, we will naturally meet each other. ”
Chu Xuanhua lowered her head and didn't say much-horizontal and vertical, no matter what she said, she couldn't make decisions in her life.
The old county lord was very satisfied when he saw her docile, and thought that if he really decided on family affairs, he would not be as comfortable as when he was a girl in the future, so he only smiled at Chu Xuanhua: "The weather is also getting warmer, Xuan'er is going to walk around and play more with your little sisters." ”
"Ayuan also said a few days ago that she would invite our little sisters to go horseback riding spring hunting."
Chu Xuanhua thought of Cen Yuan, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "And Ah Miao, we are all talking about it." ”
Hearing her mention Ling Miao, the old county lord nodded, "This daughter of the Gu family was born very well, and she has such a look and bearing at a young age. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the Duchess of Chu.
The Duchess of Chu was stiff on her face.
The old county lord understood what she meant, because she felt that Ling Miao's appearance and temperament were worthy of Chu Zixi. Just asked her to say, how good Ling Miao is? How can the children raised by the Xinrong family of the Marquis of Wuding Mansion be worthy of their second son?
What's more, the reputation of this Miss Ling family is not very good!
