Chapter 507: Time is Ticking
The short and fat Aunt Zhou said in a weird manner: "The master's thoughts, where can we who are subordinates know, Miss will naturally know when she goes." ”
The dog fights the powerful things, Chen Anxin secretly scolded, but he didn't dare to slack off: "Mom, you go back first, I'll clean it up, and I'll go to Siniang to say goodbye immediately." ”
"Miss, you'd better hurry, don't let the fourth lady wait. ”
Aunt Zhou twisted her fat buttocks and turned her face away.
It was really a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, Chen An shook his head self-deprecatingly. As a martial arts master, even with a mortal body, not everyone can compare, if he really wants to fight, he is confident that he will not fall behind against Shang Danjin.
But the Dan Jin of the Chu family is not one or two, but there are dozens, and there are even Tongxuan powerhouses in charge, with his current strength, he can't turn the sky upside down.
Although Chen An has blood and bravery, he is also a person who knows practice, and understands the truth that if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and when this person should be cowardly, he still has to coax it.
Therefore, he simply instructed Hong Aya, and took Lu Qi to the courtyard of the fourth lady, hoping that the fourth lady could have some insight and not push herself too much, otherwise she would not be able to please the good fruit to eat.
The reason why his fourth wife was able to ascend to the throne was mainly because of the Chu family's careerists in order to suppress Chu Yan's handiwork, if Chu Yan was completely suppressed to death, he Chu Bijun would be useless, and he would definitely be cooked as an outdated lackey to appease the emotions of the Chu family's die-hard loyalty to the Chu Han faction.
Therefore, if Chu Bijun still has a little IQ, he will not force himself too much, and it is the right choice to raise his self-respect.
It's just that when Chen An walked to the courtyard where the fourth lady lived, he knew that he was thinking too much, and this woman actually moved into the courtyard of the main mother. This is death, so crazy, it's just self-defeating.
What is her own identity, doesn't she have any points in her heart?
What's the use of being greedy for this false name, don't you know that the more rampant she is now, the more fierce the backlash will be in the later stage?
It is impossible to expect this stupid woman to understand the truth of the cunning rabbit and the death of the lackey, because she has no brains at all.
But she will die when she dies, and it is estimated that she will bite off a piece of flesh on herself, which is really fatal.
Discovering this, Chen An's heart couldn't help but be a little apprehensive.
Now if there is anything else in this world that can make Chen An feel afraid, then he may not hesitate to answer that he is crazy, and what scares him more than a madman can only be a female madman.
But no matter how difficult it is, he has to face it, Chen An stubbornly walked into the courtyard of the master mother in front of him.
This was originally Chu Yuan's mother-in-law, Chu Han's wife, and the residence of the eldest wife of the Chu family. Of course, in the eyes of the women of the Chu family, its preciousness lies not in the luxurious Don Juan of its decoration, but in its symbolic meaning.
Led by a mother at the door, all the way to the main hall, the fourth lady Chu Bijun was sitting there, there was still some trance and intoxication in her eyes, and she seemed to be still feeling the joy of her dream coming true.
She was not the only one in the hall, there was also Chu Ran.
This made Chen An, who had just walked in here, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that some of the things he was worried about before would not happen.
Chu Ran, this guy cherishes feathers very much, and if he comes forward, it will not be out of control.
"Yan'er has seen Siniang and Uncle Seventeen. ”
"Yan'er doesn't have to be polite. ”
Maybe it's because of the long-cherished wish that he has tasted once, Chu Bijun behaved a little more naturally than he pretended to be amiable before.
"Actually, I called you here today because I want to ask for your opinion. ”
"Siniang is serious, you treat Yan'er as if you were your own child, but if you have an order, you will not dare to resign. ”
Chen An first took the words to defeat her to see if she had the face to say something too excessive.
But thinking about it, the effect is not great, she dares to call herself the mother of the Chu family, she is already shameless, how can she take care of her weak and weak rhetoric.
"It's a good thing. ”
Sure enough, Chu Bijun didn't hear the meaning of Chen An's words, and continued with a kind smile: "You also know that my Chu family interacted with the Murong family when the ancestor of the family was there, and I also promised a daughter Shangzhi to be an in-law. Now the head of the family is not there, but the old promise still exists, it is always difficult to break his promise and gain weight, and the Murong family does not give up, and he is willing to inherit the previous promise, and it is not good for us to push it. ”
"Among the two daughters of the first head of the family, only you are of the right age, gentle and virtuous, so that you will not fall into the lintel of my Chu family, so I called you to talk about this matter, I don't know what you think?"
Damn! When did Lao Tzu make a promise, Chen Anxin roared angrily, but on the surface he looked soft and weak: "Yan'er is too young to make a decision, it should be all up to Siniang, but my father just went and didn't dare to ignore his father's kindness, but went to Xiao to think about his life, and asked Siniang to forgive." ”
"Yan'er is filial, what's wrong, it's just ......"
Chu Bijun's originally kind face gradually disappeared, and his tone gradually changed and said obediently: "Men should marry and women should marry, if those of us who are elders can't get you a life, after a hundred years, what face will we have to see the master......
Chu Bijun wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Chu Ran waving his hand: "That's it, Xiao Yan'er is still young, and when it comes to marriage, it will inevitably thin the face of her daughter's family." Anyway, Yan'er still has some time before she becomes an adult, so it's not too late to talk about this issue slowly. ”
Speaking of this, he turned his face to look at Chu Yan with a smile and said, "Your fourth mother is also thinking about you, you must know that the happiness of your daughter's family is good when you meet a good person, and it is more convenient for men to do things on the rivers and lakes." ”
"Uncle Xie Seventeen taught, and Yan'er was taught. ”
Chen An has nothing on the surface, but he gritted his teeth in his heart, Chu Ran's coercion and temptation can be said so high-sounding, I really regret why I let this thing go in the first place, if I had been decisive at the beginning, I would have directly shot this guy to death, and it is estimated that there would not be so many things today.
Chu Ran smiled like an elder who cares for his juniors: "Okay, you go back first, and then think about it, don't worry, there are still three years to go anyway." ”
Yan'er retired. ”
When he returned to his bedroom, dismissed the green and red aya, and closed the door, Chen An's face began to change.
Chu Ran is thoughtful, he will not do anything without a purpose, calling himself over today to say such a thing is definitely for another purpose, so what is his purpose?
What does an heir who may not live to adulthood deserve his personal attention?
Perhaps only this heir can live to adulthood and succeed smoothly.
How is this possible?
A underage woman, and she is still a concubine, what ability can she take over the position of the head of a big family that is about to leap into a top wealthy family.
To tell the truth, don't say it's her, even Chu Xun is just a puppet, this world has to rely on strength to speak after all, and after the Chu family becomes a top wealthy family, the only person who can still speak at home is Tongxuan.
Wait, puppet?
Chen An suddenly seemed to understand something.
He just thought that Chu Yan and Gong Hui had made Chu Yan the heir for Chu Han's friendship, but if you look at it from another angle, who is the head of the family and who is most beneficial to them?
Chu Xun?
I'm afraid not.
Chu Xun is already an adult, and his body is already mellow and infinite, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not alienate the root marrow and achieve Tongxuan in a few years. If he really came to this point, then wouldn't he and Chu Yan be the remake of Chu Han and Chu Zhen back then, and the past will not forget the teacher of the future, will Chu Yan really let him grow to that point?
Yes, Chu Yan is indeed loyal to the family, and he will not frown if he sacrifices himself for the family, but who can say that Chu Xun represents the family, even if he is now the acting head of the family, what he does may not be all for the good of the family, can Chu Yan be convinced?
Or, apart from Chu Han, who can convince Chu Yanxin?
If Chu Yan can't be convinced, what will Chu Yan do? Chen An tried to bring it in himself.
If it were himself, he might set up another puppet before Chu Xun was completely full-fledged, and then use this puppet to give orders and do something that he thought would be more beneficial to the development of the Chu family.
And who else can compare to this puppet, the blood of the old master, and at the same time Chu Yan, who is also a concubine.
This can not only reflect Chu Yan's old kindness and wantonly win people's hearts, but also get a puppet who is extremely obedient and will not hinder himself, why not.
As for Gonghui, it may not be this idea.
Thinking about it this way, it is indeed a little darker, but Chen An never speculates about others with the greatest malice, Chu Yan and Gong Hui are Chu Han's brothers, but they are not Chen An's, what kind of person they are still to be considered.
Continue to think along this line of thought, Chu Yan Gonghui supports Chu Yan, what will Chu Ran do?
Do you want to go with the flow?
Chen An shook his head, impossible, it can be seen from Chu Zhen's rebellion that Chu Ran and his people are used to punishing speculation.
Follow Chu Yan Gonghui, no matter how low and small, but if you support Chu Xun, you may not be able to turn over.
Among them, Chu Xun's intentions are actually not important, even if he is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, he can't withstand Chu Ran's flickering, and he is now the acting head of the family, how can he be willing to give up when he tastes power.
Since the two of them are in the same stream, they are ready to deal with Chu Yan, an eyesore first.
It's just that the current Chu Yanfei has been favored by Chu Yan Gonghui compared to the beginning, and it is not good to make a yin hand again, and Chu Ran and Chu Xun are even more limited in power. Restricted by itself, a person with shallow qualifications and low cultivation, unable to speak at home.
So he could only do something about Chu Han's ambiguous marriage at the beginning, attracting the external force of the Murong family to break the situation. Because as long as Chu Yan is married, she will naturally lose the inheritance right of the head of the family.
By the way, there is also a Murong family.
Chen An felt a big headache, since Chu Ran had done this, he had naturally communicated with the Murong family.
And what the Murong family's plan was, Chen An had already understood it when he was still Chu Han.
The biggest difficulty for them to settle in Jingmen City is not the Lu family, nor anything else, but the xenophobia of the people of Jingmen.
So to a certain extent, Chu Yan is more important than the concubine of the Lu family in the eyes of Murong Fazhen.
This is because the Lu family is a county leader and has been out of touch with the people for a long time, while the Chu family is just a squire and tyrant who has just jumped, which is more in line with the perception of ordinary people, and Chu Yan is a concubine, and Murong Fazhen is matched with a son-in-law, which is equivalent to bowing to the local forces in Jingmen City, and of course it is easier to be accepted by the locals.
It's just that this concubine is not another concubine, the head of the family has no concubine, and the concubine is the elder. The Murong family is low and small on the surface, but secretly they have a big advantage.
No wonder he only mentioned such a condition at the beginning, but gave such a generous promise to the position of the master mother.
These guys are shrewd in their calculations, and they really don't lose to anyone.
But in this way, it is troublesome for Chen An, at such a big price, the Murong family must be determined to win, and Chu Yan Gonghui may not be able to resist this pressure, after all, the puppet can be found again, and the alliance between the Murong family and the Chu family is the general direction and cannot be destroyed.
In this way, time is of the essence.
