Chapter 19: Back to the Light
readx;
Chapter 19 The Chu clan felt a little inexplicable about Chu Yuan's reaction, he had already figured out the details of that strange little girl just now, but she was just a barbarian little doll with a dead father, and she was not qualified to occupy a place at the Chu family's family banquet at all, so what were you waiting for if she didn't leave the table quickly?
Well, there will be many foreigners with some status in the capital next, and now there is only one Queen of Vasai, but ...... Obviously, this little girl is not worthy of the Chu family's fear. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the head of the Chu family, the Chu family is qualified to take up a shelf and drive people away, but after all, under the nose of the old lady, it is inevitable that the old lady will be embarrassed by speaking rashly, after thinking about it, it is better to start with Chu Nan, looked at Chu Yuan's thoughtful appearance and had no other reaction, and sighed in his heart: "Nan'er, this reception of foreign envoys is not only a matter of national body, but also represents the face of the Chu family, after all, you can get this errand The Chu family has contributed." ”
The old lady frowned, knowing that Chu Nan and her daughter-in-law had always been at odds with her, but now that the Chu family was teaching Chu Nan a lesson under the banner of the head mother of the Chu family, it was impossible for her to speak even if she heard the meaning of being difficult, otherwise it would always affect the unity of the Chu family.
Seeing that the old lady of the Chu family didn't mean to help Chu Nan, the Chu family couldn't help but sigh, thinking about it, what he said was justified, and there was nothing to blame, thinking of this, he was bold, and he frowned and said: "I heard that yesterday you bumped into Sun Shangshu in the Ministry of Rites, and you didn't go to the Sifang Pavilion as Sun Shangshu instructed, and hung the VIP Queen of Daliang there, isn't it?"
Chu Nan didn't want to quarrel in front of the old lady, so he couldn't help but explain with his surname: "It was too late when the people from the Ministry of Rites informed me yesterday, and the royal guards of Vasai had already sealed the Sifang Pavilion, and I was not allowed to enter, and I had no way to ............."
At this time, Chu Qing, the fourth elder of the Chu family, who was sitting at Chu Nan's upper hand, pursed his lips and whispered: "Trick the ghost, someone saw it yesterday, obviously I went to Furong Street to spend all day drinking............
The old lady of the Chu family couldn't see anyone hiding in the shadows to make a stumbling block, let alone on top of the Chu family's family banquet, she frowned and said: "If there is something to say out loud, what does it look like, my Chu family does not have such a villain!"
The old lady has a lot of power, and Chu Qing is very afraid of the old lady, but Chu Qing has always felt that the old lady is really a little eccentric, Chu Mad is like Zhongtian in the army, Chu An is the son of the Chu family, and it is not easy to say anything, but Chu Nan is on his head for everything.
Not to mention anything else, when the Chu and Yang families married and chose Chu Nan instead of themselves, Chu Qing was angry, and then went to Jiangnan on an errand and then went to the current Ministry of Rites Wailang, how not to make people blush, and recently got closer to the crown prince Li Zhi, I feel that my horizons have opened a lot, and I am no longer the poor sour scholar who was only willing to promise before, and his face was a little unbearable when he was reprimanded in public like this, and he mustered up the courage to say:" Someone saw it with their own eyes yesterday, and Lao Wu did stay on Furong Street for a long time, and when he came out of Furong Street, he didn't go to the Sifang Pavilion, but went to the Ministry of Rites............"
Chu Nan was a little helpless, sighed and said, "I don't know anything, I can't go to the Sifang Pavilion rashly...... Moreover, Queen Vasai traveled a long distance and the journey was tiring............"
Chu Qing also let go, and said with a stiff neck: "It's all an excuse! From His Majesty's appointment to the present, you don't even know what you said, do you say this is normal? What did you do earlier?"
Chu Nan didn't know that Chu Qing had such a big grudge against him, so he rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Why do I think, you have a strong grudge against me?
Chu didn't expect Chu Qing to be so hard, he didn't care about the old lady's presence at all, and directly quarreled with Chu Nan, no matter what, even if he got out, it was not too late to wait and see the old lady's attitude before making a decision.
Chu Qing also knew that if he annoyed the old lady, he would definitely not end well, so he simply played the sad card, gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground and said: "Old ancestor Mingjian, Qing'er has never made you angry all along, remember the teachings of the old ancestor and never dare to forget, but today the grandson is presumptuous, and some words are really unpleasant." ”
The old lady looked sad and joyless, nodded slowly and said, "You say." ”
Chu Qing only felt the grievances in his heart gushing out, and it took a long time to suppress the impulse in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Ancestor, you are eccentric!"
Chu Yuan slapped the table hard, shaking the dishes on the table, and shouted angrily: "Shut up, you bastard!"
The old lady of the Chu family smiled coldly, looked at Chu Yuan and shouted, "Shut up and let him speak!"
Chu Qing couldn't help but be a little scared, but he didn't turn back when he opened the bow, and he couldn't regret it at this time, so he said stubbornly: "Since I was a child, grandma has been very kind to the old five young people, no matter how big the trouble is, she can be exempted from punishment, not to mention learning literature and martial arts every day, even if she runs away from home for three years, and her reputation is bad after coming back, she can still be pushed out to marry the Yang family............"
Yang Mei was shocked and angry, Chu Qing was a little annoyed when he pointed the finger at Chu Nan, but he didn't expect Chu Qing to turn over this matter at this time, and he couldn't help but be angry, and he was about to shoot the case but was held down by Chu Nan.
The wrinkles on the old lady's face made people unable to see the expression, and she glanced at Yang Mei and said lightly: "This matter was handled by General Yang, he personally ordered the name of your fifth brother, and there is the intention of His Majesty to give marriage, if you don't believe it, you can ask." General Yang is a hero, at least he won't lie to a hairy boy like you. ”
Chu Qing breathed a sigh of relief slightly, he was actually clear about this matter, and he deliberately said this to test the old lady's attitude, if the old lady directly reprimanded without asking, then he couldn't say more today, but now that the old lady patiently explained to herself, obviously she could continue, "I believe that grandma won't lie to me." But then, the opportunity to go to Jiangnan to investigate the case is his? He has no experience and no qualifications, but this time he can sit on the Ministry of Rites, if it is said that my father did not contribute, I absolutely do not believe it, in this case, why can't the family just talk, isn't this partiality what?"
The old lady nodded, and said with a faint smile: "You are right, the Chu family has contributed to these two things...... However, when he went to Jiangnan, it was His Majesty who read that he had a meritorious role in saving the princess, and as for this time, it was General Yang who opened his mouth to His Majesty, which is not a secret, as long as you ask the right person, you can inquire about it. ”
Although Chu Qing was a little unconvinced, he wanted to say that if I was asked to marry the Yang family, this opportunity would be mine............ But looking at the blue face of Yangmei, she finally held back, sighed and said a little unwillingly: "If I can get such an opportunity, I will definitely do better than the fifth child!"
Chu Nan couldn't help but glance at Chu Qing and shook his head with some disdain.
Chu Qing couldn't see Chu Nan's appearance the most, and the anger that he had finally suppressed surged out again, gritted his teeth and said: "Not to mention these, he has repeatedly provoked right and wrong, first provoking the eldest prince, and then bullying others, suppressing the new champion Guo Zhenyan, which is well known to everyone. Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intended to make friends, he refused to do it, and he didn't point fingers at me, a few days ago, he was even more bold, and humiliated the prince in Xinyue Building, and the third brother was also there at that time, which made everyone a little embarrassed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince originally said that he wanted to help me, but now there is no news............"
Chu Yuan began to listen patiently, and when he heard about Li Zhi, he couldn't help frowning, and sneered: "You have no brains, it is taboo to make friends with the prince in private, and you are still proud." ”
Chu Qing calmed down, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I have always been honest and bright with His Royal Highness the Prince, and I haven't done anything shady, since my family is eccentric, can't I find my own way?"
The old lady couldn't help laughing, sighed and said, "I understand, you blame your fifth brother for not falsely, saying so much, you are still resentful that the Chu family did not pave a future for you." ”
Chu Qing was slightly happy in his heart, but his face was not obvious at all, and he lowered his head and said: "Ancestor Mingjian, if my father says a word in front of His Majesty, why should I go to the field and start from the bottom...... No matter how bad it is, I can be like the third brother, and I can enter the sixth department............ I don't have the martial arts of the eldest brother, but it may not be worse than the third brother, at least give me the ways that are spent on the fifth brother, and I can definitely do better............"
Chu Yuan didn't dare to look at the old lady's expression, and said bitterly: "Rebel son, rebel son, do you want to be angry with the old ancestor alive?"
Chu Qing was a little dazed, and then sneered in his heart, at this time, it was obvious that the old lady was the one who could really make a decision, as long as the old lady let go, no matter how big the price was, it was worth it, anyway, things had come to this point, and he couldn't allow himself to retreat, so he had the courage not to look at Chu Yuan, and stared straight at the old lady.
The old lady shook off Chu Yue's hand, stood up tremblingly, and sighed for a while, sighing and saying: "Outsiders always think that the Chu family is strong and how to win the favor of His Majesty, but I didn't expect that as a descendant of the Chu family, he is also so short-sighted! Do you think your eldest brother is really willing to stand up and fight with the eldest prince? Do you think that your eldest brother can really be half of His Majesty's lord as rumored? Do you think your fifth brother is really willing to fight in the officialdom and fight with you for things? Throughout the ages, how many wealthy families have disappeared because of talents like you, I know that you don't believe it, you don't accept it, and you don't understand it. But, wait, sooner or later you will understand, when the Chu family is completely defeated in your generation!"
Chu Qing was frightened, watching the old lady slowly get up and leave, suddenly a little panicked and overwhelmed, did he really not understand? Is it really wrong? No, no, no, how is it possible, this is just the old lady scaring me............ Chu didn't expect things to turn out like this, he was a little weak for no reason, fortunately he didn't jump out and say anything, otherwise the consequences were really unimaginable.
Chu Nan's face was full of bitterness, maybe he really took it for granted, sighed helplessly, patted Yangmei's shoulder, and motioned for Yangmei to help the old lady in.
Chu Mad's wife, Fang Zheng, naturally didn't dare to do it anymore, and the three of them, Chu Yue and Yang Mei, carefully helped the old lady with a gloomy expression to go in, and just hung the rest of the people there.
Chu Nan looked at the demon with a strange face and kept looking at everyone, and he didn't have the heart to go in to see the old lady, going in by himself at this time could only make the old lady more stimulated, it was better to wait, wait for Yangmei to come out and leave here quickly.
Chu Yuan looked at Chu Qing, who was still kneeling in a daze, sighed and said, "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can come to me, why bother to spoil your grandmother............'s mood?"
Speaking of the last sentence, Chu Yuan couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Chu Qing stood up slowly, anyway, things had already sat down, and it was useless to regret it, so he lowered his head and didn't speak.
At this time, Yang Mei walked out, walked to Chu Nan's side and whispered: "The old lady has already fallen asleep, her old man said, let everyone go back, don't bother if it's okay............"
After speaking, he hesitated and said to Chu Yuan: "Father-in-law, the old lady said, let you help talk about the fourth brother's affairs, and try to do everything according to his heart............"
Chu Qing was apprehensive in his heart, although he knew that he had gone a little too far, but the purpose of making the old lady say this sentence had been achieved, and he couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed, with a little smile on his face, and began to plan how to open his mouth to Chu Yuan for a while, and ask for an errand.
Chu Nan couldn't help but be angry when he saw Chu Qing's smile, and before he could speak, he heard the demon whisper: "Shameless!"
Everyone has their own thoughts, and they were silent for a while, and the demon's words were extremely clear, ready to be heard by everyone.
Chu Qing couldn't help but be embarrassed and annoyed when he heard that it was the demon who opened his mouth to mock him, he was regretting it, if he changed to someone else, even Chu Nan, who he hated the most, would have endured it, but it turned out to be such a young child who shouted these two words and directly slapped himself fiercely, hot and painful, and angrily wanted to slap the demon demon, "You little bitch who didn't know where to get out, how dare you scold me?"
Even if the demon demon was ignorant, he had never suffered such a grievance, and he skillfully pulled out his scimitar to meet Chu Qing's palm, fortunately, Chu Qing saw the opportunity early, but he was still pulled with a wound that was not deep or shallow.
Chu Qing found an outlet for all his grievances, regrets, and excitement, and he didn't care about the injuries on his hands, so he threw himself at the demon like crazy, shouting: "I don't believe it, I must kill you today............"
Before Chu Nan could make a move, Chu Yuan flew up and kicked Chu Qing away, and shouted angrily: "You move her to try, I'll kill you first to clean up the portal!"
Chu Qing naturally didn't know the identity of the demon, nor did he know Chu Yuan's bitterness in kicking him, so he got up from the ground and trembled and said, "I know that you all look down on me............ Now he even said that he would kill me for the satisfaction of a foreigner............ The Chu family is really strong, so powerful, I'm leaving, can't I go............"
At the end of the song, everyone dispersed, and it had already become such a situation, whether it was the Chu Nan brothers or the rest of the people in the original place, they naturally didn't have the heart to stay here anymore, and left silently.
Chu Nan hugged the demon who was struggling to himself, slapped a few times on the demon's buttocks, and said lightly: "Be honest!"
Yangmei was also a little silent, quietly followed behind Chu Nan, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Don't worry, the old lady is just angry for a while, I see that the old lady's illness is about to be cured, just now I helped the old lady in, and found that she was growing new hair, and the roots of the white hair were about to turn black..................
Chu Nan hugged the demon and listened to Yangmei's words and was stunned for a while, there are many old people who are old and start to grow new teeth, their hair is starting to turn black, and even their skin will become smooth again, but this does not mean that the old man's body is getting healthier and healthier, and the aging body suddenly glows with such abnormal vitality, which makes Chu Nan a little frightened, and he thinks of four words in his heart for no reason...... Back to light............
