Chapter 192: Seeing Zhao Zhangmou
Zhao Chengxi smiled and thanked him, and secretly said this in his heart, which was really a mother's kindness.
"By the way, I don't know who you are, Childe?"
"Mrs. Hui, I'm from Jingling."
"Jingling?" Chu Lian's eyes dimmed, "Could it be that he went to Jingling?" ”
"That's not true, I like to travel all over the world, and I met Shizi in Jiangzhong City, and as far as I know, Shizi has not been to Jingling."
"I see, let Childe smile, maybe Childe also knows that Cheng Qian has a grudge against me, and I don't know much about him. Speaking of which, I'm ashamed of the shortcomings, I did have some discord with the princess back then, but they were all contradictions in the boudoir that couldn't be on the elegant hall, which big family didn't have it? Now that the princess is gone, I should have taken care of him, but I have let him wander for a few years, I am really ashamed. Chu Lian covered her heart with one hand, and her face was full of self-blame.
It's a really good acting. Zhao Chengxi felt a chill in her heart, at this time, she naturally would not refute Chu Lian, and comforted Chu Lian's words: "Madame doesn't have to blame herself, he should have figured it out a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have returned to the palace." I think that in some time, the lady and the son will be able to rebuild themselves. ”
"It doesn't matter if I have a misunderstanding, but I don't want to affect the relationship between him and Zi Ji Zike because of the events of our previous generation, they are brothers and sisters after all. The son can be spoiled by me, quite willful, but their nature is not bad, and I ask the son to say a few more kind words in front of Cheng Qian, so that Cheng Qian will not be angry with his younger brothers and sisters. ”
"Of course, Madame, don't worry." Zhao Chengxi responded, but thought in his heart, your pair of children, it's okay if I don't scold them behind my back, and you still want me to say good things about them? Think beautifully!
During the conversation between the two, the words were either casually tempting, or hypothetical maneuvers.
Zhao Chengxi looked around the house, the furnishings in this room are all high-quality products, it seems that although this Chu Lian has the title of a lady, the regulations are all like the style of the hostess of the palace. In addition, what surprised Zhao Chengxi was that the Yue Wangfu in this remote place was much more gorgeous and exquisite than she expected.
In addition, this Mrs. Chu said that she was born in a Qinglou, but now she is full of honor, not only about her clothes, but also about her posture and temperament, she doesn't look like a person from the countryside, it seems that this Mrs. Chu has put a lot of effort into it.
That's a good point. When Chu Lian entered the mansion, she was just a Qinglou woman who only knew how to wear red and green, and dressed up in fancy clothes, although she won Zhao Zhangmou's favor with this beauty. But in the palace, the subordinates secretly ridiculed her for her low-born and vulgar aesthetics, which was not as good as the princess from a scholarly family. These gossips will eventually reach Chu Lian's ears.
Chu Lian was pampered, and he could find a subordinate who had dealt with the root of his tongue from the beginning to get rid of these unpleasant words. However, when Zhao Zhangmou talked to her about poetry and songs, she was embarrassed and anxious and couldn't answer, when she wanted to help Zhao Zhangmou study ink, but she got full of paper and ink, and when she wanted to make tea for Zhao Zhangmou, she was pointed out that the steps were wrong. At these moments, the undisguised disgust and disappointment in Zhao Zhangmou's eyes burned her heart, and Chu Lian knew that she had to change.
It was difficult to change, but in the end, she finally became a decent and generous lady, and that humble background was slowly covered up in the past, and it became a secret that no one dared to mention in the Yue Palace.
Chu Lian secretly looked at Zhao Chengxi and thought: This young man has bright eyes and bright teeth, his skin is white and flawless, and he has no Adam's apple and beard, it is indeed very possible to say that he is a girl dressed as a man. However, her demeanor and actions were not as dignified as the ordinary ladies of the ladies, but instead revealed a natural and uninhibited noble son's temperament in her gestures, which made Chu Lian a little confused.
In any case, this person is from Jingling, what kind of background is likely to be, if he is allowed to make friends with Zhao Chengque, wouldn't it be a great threat? It's better to win him over.
Chu Lian made up her mind.
"Master Bi, I don't know what the house does?"
"Mrs. Hui, the family is just doing a small business, and it is not enough to worry about it."
Chu Lian naturally didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "I see that the people are almost ready, so it's better to sit at the table."
"Okay." As soon as Zhao Chengxi got up, he heard a sound full of anger outside.
"What? Got a feast today? ”
Zhao Chengxi looked sideways and saw a man eight feet tall and majestic walking in outside the door. He should be almost not confused, his pace is steady, his posture is upright, and his expression is mighty, it seems that Zhao Zhang, the king of Yue, is undoubtedly plotting.
Chu Lian hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and her heart was overjoyed, Zhao Zhangmou hadn't come to her yard for several days: "Lord Wang, why did you come here today?"
"If there is nothing to do today, I will come and have lunch with you." Zhao Zhang excused Chu Lian's courtesy, and said, "You have guests?" ”
Chu Lian replied: "This Bi Gongzi is a friend of Cheng Yuan, he has lived in the house for two days, yesterday Ke'er collided with Bi Gongzi because of poisoning, and today the concubine specially set up a banquet to apologize to Bi Gongzi."
Chu Lian's words were clever, not only pointing out Bi Xi's suspicions, but also showing his generosity.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhangmou had already listened to Ah Ling's explanation last night. Zhao Zhangmou nodded and looked at Zhao Chengxi: "That incident was indeed a misunderstanding."
Zhao Chengxi bowed his head and saluted: "I've seen the prince below." It is really rude to harass in the house for two days, and has not yet asked the prince for peace. ”
"It's okay, this king is busy with official business, and it's normal not to see this king."
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Zhao Chengxi slandered, isn't it just a little Fengyue City, and Cheng Yin is dealing with official business, what do you want a prince to deal with? I'm not as busy as you are in charge of the entire Tanglin.
"Lord, the banquet has been prepared, why don't we sit down together." Chu Lian originally didn't want Zhao Zhangmou to have contact with Zhao Chengxi, lest Zhao Chengxi help Zhao Chengxi say good things. But now that she is old and decrepit, she helped Zhao Zhangmou to accept two more concubines, Zhao Zhangmou has not come to her for a long time, and it is rare for Zhao Zhangmou to come to the door today, she is not willing to push out.
"It's fine."
This is also as Zhao Chengxi's wish, and he finally got in touch with Zhao Zhangmou.
Zhao Zhangmou saw that Zhao Chengxi had an elegant meal, unlike ordinary people who had never seen the world, and he felt a little at ease, it seemed that Zhao Chengxi still had a vision for making friends.
"Bi Gongzi, I don't know how you and Que'er met?" Zhao Zhangmou asked.
Bi Xi put down her chopsticks, she had already prepared for this, and replied calmly: "That's the case, the son of the world was seriously injured when he traveled to the rivers and lakes before, and was rescued by a farmer's family. Later, the farmer offended the local wealthy merchant and was forced to die both husband and wife. The prince wants to seek justice for his life-saving benefactor, but he can't fight alone, and it is difficult to succeed. By chance, I became acquainted with Shizi, and because my family was quite familiar with the magistrate there, I helped him settle the matter. However, at that time, I didn't know the true identity of the prince. ”
