After more than half a month, Chu Nan finally recovered, and he would practice some strange moves every day when he got up, until his head was high, and the sweat on his forehead did not stop, Chu Yue, who had been living in the small courtyard, plus the two maids sent by the ancestors, the small courtyard was full of laughter and laughter every day, and it was much better than the previous gloomy appearance.

Every time Chu Nan went to talk to the old ancestor, he would come back to play with Chu Yue, Chu Yue did not hide his intimacy with Chu Nan, chasing and playing in the house every day, doing some very childish games, sometimes Yangmei was also pulled by Chu Yue to mess around, and often smiled and said to forgive, and finally had a little mortal popularity.

After a while, Chu Yue was reprimanded by Chu Yuan in the Taoist room, pouted and returned to Chu Nan's small courtyard to pack up his things, and reluctantly went back to live with his ancestor.

Chu Nan then also went to Chu Yuan's study, and before he entered, he heard a quarrel in the room, Chu Nan thought about it, the Chu family dared to quarrel with Chu Yuan, and the only lady in the main room of the Chu family.

Chu Nan didn't have any interest in the things between the couple, and deliberately made some noises, and sure enough, the room was quiet.

Chu Yuan sighed and said, "It's Nan'er, come in." ”

Chu Nan pushed the door in, didn't kneel down, just bowed his head and stood aside.

Chu Yuan has always been strong at home, and he has always been the same, but he can't surrender the son in front of him. After being slapped by Chu when he was a child, Chu Nan cried to find Chu Yuan and was impatiently beaten back by Chu Yuan, and since then, he has never called his father, and he has never given Chu a good face. Chu Yuan later beat Chu Nan hard, so after that, Chu Nan never practiced the Chu family's family martial arts, once he beat hard, Chu Nan simply ran away from home, and came back after three years, during which I don't know how many times Chu Yuan was scolded by the ancestors, and now I don't see Chu Nan's appearance, I just didn't see it, I asked Chu Nan's injury carefully, and a little bit Chu Nan wanted to have a good relationship with Yangmei, seeing Chu Nan's absent-minded promise, I thought about it or said:" Seven days later, His Majesty held a banquet in the palace to pick up the wind for General Yang Shouye, who returned to Beijing to report on his work, this is a family banquet, there are not many people, I mean you or your third brother follow me ......"

Only then did Chu Nan know what Chu Yuan and the two were arguing about before they came, the younger generation can't make much merit, and the fastest way to get out is to be appreciated by the emperor, at least with a familiar face. Chu Nan shook his head and said, "The injury is not good yet, and if I have any experience in this area, I won't go." ”

Chu Shi looked at Chu Nan in surprise and said with a smile: "Nan'er really doesn't want to go? Just now I said that your father would take you to see it." But since the injury is not healed, let's recuperate at home with peace of mind, and there will be opportunities in the future. ”

Chu Nan smiled, his mother is really good at being a person. Since marrying into the Chu family, the Chu family has firmly controlled the inside and outside of the Chu family, except for the old lady, he does not dare to interfere, even if he kills a chicken, he has to ask her. However, the Chu family does have a lot of ability, and the Chu family is well organized, and she is a well-known virtuous helper, and it is also her handiwork that Chu An entered the household department without joining the army, and several other children of the Chu family, including Chu Mania, were all eaten to death by her, not to mention several concubines in Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan felt that he owed Chu Nan the most among the sons, and frowned and said: "This is Yangmei's father's reception banquet, and most of the people who go are military generals, so it is not appropriate for An'er to go." ”

Chu's face remained unchanged, and he said softly: "Didn't Nan'er say it, his injuries haven't healed yet." What's more, Nan'er's position is too low, and he doesn't know much about officialdom, so he is afraid that something will go wrong if he goes. Learn the rules slowly first, and then talk about it. ”

Chu Nan couldn't help laughing, the Chu family really seized every opportunity to fight for Chu An's inheritance, the Chu family is a general, if Chu Mad returns to Beijing, most of the Chu family will be inherited by Chu Mad , it seems that the Chu family has a sense of crisis. Originally, Chu Nan was tired of this kind of unskilled nest fighting and ran out for three years, but now that he came back and saw these again, he couldn't help but be a little funny, and said lightly: "In the future, I will have my own way to support myself, and Chu Madness is probably not much interested in family property, hey, it's been so many years, and I still can't see through it?"

Chu Nan has no background except for the Chu family, Chu Mad has never returned to the Chu Mansion in Yanjing for five years in the army, and the other two children were also driven to their hometown early, speaking of which, basically no one can fight with Chu An, but because of the mother's natural surname to protect the child, the Chu family always subconsciously set up a lot of imaginary enemies for Chu An.

Chu Nan's few words, the Chu family's smile was reluctant, and Chu Yuan's eyes were cold. Chu Nan looked at the two of them and thought that they were also two poor people. Thinking that Chu Nan was about to get up and leave, he saw the housekeeper Zhao Jiu hurrying over.

Zhao Jiu's body was obese, and it was even more difficult to bear it if it was hot today, so he wiped his sweat with his sleeves, and said with a pant: "Master, madam, this is the name of Lord Jing." ”

The Chu clan naturally knew what kind of terrifying influence Prince Jing had, who didn't ask about the world, and didn't dare to slack off to take the famous post and ask, "What is the matter with Lord Jing looking for the master?"

Zhao Jiu glanced at Chu Nan and said in a low voice: "The slave asked, he was looking for the fifth young master, not the master." ”

Chu Shi also glanced at Chu Nan and said in surprise: "Looking for the young master?"

Zhao Jiu hurriedly said: "Prince Jing's housekeeper sent it, saying that he heard that the fifth young master had recovered from his injury, and the prince invited him to reminisce about the old days. ”

Chu Shi pouted secretly, what old can Chu Nan and King Jing talk about? When Chu Nan was a child, he took Li Zhen to beat Li Liang, the son of King Jing, and overthrew King Jing's most precious grape trellis, and at most poisoned a few earth dogs in King Jing's mansion, so there was no other relationship. But since it was the housekeeper of Jingwang's Mansion who came, he couldn't be wrong, and he didn't want to ask too much, but he just told the housekeeper to remember to prepare gifts, don't lose the courtesy, and wanted to tell Chu Nan a few words, but unexpectedly, Chu Nan had already turned around and left.

Chu Nan went out of Chu Mansion, but saw that the old housekeeper of King Jing's Mansion hadn't left yet, after all, he was a good young man who knew how to respect the old and love the young, Chu Nan hurriedly stepped forward and greeted: "Hello Steward Yue, Lord Jing wants to see the kid, just give an order, how dare you take care of it." ”

Steward Yue's family is extremely burly and handsome, but when he laughs, people can't help but feel close, but such a big man is a eunuch, and he can't help but sigh.

Although Steward Yue is a eunuch, he has no feminine spirit, and said with a hearty smile: "The palace is not far from here, and it is good to come out to move your muscles and bones. Well, I'm here on foot, and if you want to take the carriage, you can go back to the house and call it yourself. ”

Chu Nan is very pleasing to this rough-looking housekeeper, I heard that he was a famous hero in the green forest, and he was calculated to enter the palace as a eunuch, and later King Jing ordered someone to kill his enemy, and then he entered the Jingwang Mansion with all his heart, even after so many years, the arrogance of the year is still not reduced by half, except for King Jing, no matter which one he sees, he will not call himself a slave, and this spirit alone is impressive.

Chu Nan shook his head and said, "Where is Steward Yue, boy, I haven't gotten out of bed for a long time, and I just walked and inhaled the earth's breath." As he spoke, he waved away the coachman who was about to come over, and followed Steward Yue towards the outside of Green Willow Lane.

The capital is known to have three major stewards, namely Steward Zhao of Chu Mansion, Steward Yue of King Jing's Mansion and Steward Guo of Yasukuni Mansion. Zhao Jiu of Chu Mansion relied on his qualifications, he had followed Chu Yuan's father to the north and south, and he was higher than Chu Yuan's generation in terms of seniority, and he had dealings with many big figures of the older generation, and no one dared to underestimate him; while Steward Guo of the Yasukuni Mansion, Chu An's mother's maiden home, relied on his ability, and under his control, the Yasukuni Mansion faintly had the posture of being the first in the capital; and King Jing did not ask about the world all the year round, and Steward Yue was faintly the spokesperson of the Jingwang Mansion in the capital. King Jing was the prince of Daliang in his early years, who dares to ignore the hidden strength and influence?

Chu Nan saw the cleverness of this housekeeper Yue, and talked with Chu Nan along the way, from the victory of Mobei to some lace news in the capital, although it was all mentioned slightly, but it obviously shortened the distance between the two. Chu Nan's mood also became much lighter, and he secretly sighed at Steward Yue's good methods.

Jingwang's Mansion is not far from Luliu Lane, but it is surrounded by an ordinary dwelling, and the Jingwang's Mansion, which covers a very wide area, also looks very ordinary, and there is no gold-powder lacquer door commonly used by big families, and even the open door does not even have a gatehouse. Followed Steward Yue into the Jingwang Mansion, but saw that the huge Jingwang Mansion was planted with farmhouse crops everywhere, and even the decorative flowers were very common and common, and even the ponds used for cool and fish farming were dug up many gaps and used as irrigation water sources throughout the palace. Although it was not the first time he had seen him, Chu Nan still couldn't help but sigh.

Steward Yue took Chu Nan to a small courtyard, smiled and motioned for Chu Nan to go in by himself, and turned around to leave.

Chu Nan walked in slowly and saw King Jing, who was extremely low-key but famous in the capital. King Jing was tall and thin, his hair was already a little gray, and he was obviously very untidy and looked very messy. The bronze face was as wooden as that of an ordinary old peasant, and the body was not a luxurious garment, and the big hands with green muscles were digging the land with shovels, and from the withered yellow branches and leaves on the ground, it was clear that the crops had been newly harvested, and I didn't know what the prince had done.

King Jing got up slowly, pounded his thighs that could be numb after squatting for a long time, and said to Chu Nan with a smile: "I'm getting old, I'm getting more and more useless, and I'm dizzy after just doing this." He pointed to a small pavilion not far away and motioned for Chu Nan to go over and sit by himself. Wipe the sweat from your forehead, and smoothly leave a few funny mud marks on your face.

Chu Nan did not dedicate himself to supporting the swaying old man, he sat on the stone bench in the pavilion by himself, and drank tea patiently.

After a while, King Jing changed into clean clothes, sat down beside Chu Nan with a smile, looked at Chu Nan, and sighed: "Hey, I really let you catch up, Fuzhong said that I cooked some edamame to eat today, so I have to cheapen you." ”
