Since Chu Yuan spoke, even if Chu Shi was uncomfortable, he couldn't stop it, and the old lady had no resistance, and even, the old lady was still lying on the bed holding Chu Nan's hand, smiling from ear to ear, and praising Chu Nan for her anger. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is natural to fight, but it is only for the Chu family.
Although there are more than a dozen young ladies in the Yang family's generation, and there are several people who are of the right age and have not yet come out of the cabinet, but until now only one Yangmei has been married.
The people of the Chu family feel that if Chu Nan can marry two young ladies of the Yang family, then correspondingly, it will be a little unbearable to marry the two daughters to the same person at once, how to say that the Yang family is a first-class family of the Great Liang, and their own daughters are not unable to marry, and there are many people who want to marry the Yang family, and the Chu family is not strong enough to make the Yang family yield and curry.
Chu Nan naturally knew that it was very difficult to go, although Yang Lie had already acquiesced in the matter between himself and Yang Lin, and would not intervene to stop it, but in this way, his biggest help in the Yang family disappeared, and his mother-in-law was very powerful all over the capital, and this kind of thing, Yang Lin is not suitable to express his position, it is best to bow his head and acquiesce, if the attitude is really intense, it will inevitably not anger those mothers-in-law, but will have the opposite effect.
Fu Bo, the old housekeeper of the Yang Mansion, couldn't help but sigh when he saw Chu Nan again, Chu Nan didn't have any good treatment when he came to the Yang family, but now it's different, now Chu Nan is famous, and the Yang family also treats this aunt as a fragrant bait, of course, when he sees outsiders, he will always say how Chu Nan wasted firewood at the beginning, and it was all with the help of Yang Mei, the eldest lady of the Yang family, that he worked hard, and he had such achievements.
Chu Nan had naturally heard such remarks, and knew that the main force and source of spreading such remarks was this Fu Bo, who was loyal to the Yang family, and he couldn't help but cry and laugh in his heart.
Although Fu Bo was a little disappointed that the eldest lady did not come back with him, his attitude towards Chu Nan was still very good, and he did not secretly despise Chu Nan at all.
To tell the truth, Chu Nan has done many big things before, hugged Queen Lori of Vasai, and also drew a sword to provoke the great master of Fusang Mountain, but it was really the first time to do it to propose marriage, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, and he also smiled stupidly at the enthusiastic Fu Bo, and said secretly in his heart, I don't know if I will explain my intention in a while, will this old man turn his face and chase himself with a kitchen knife.
Fu Bo walked in front of this uncle, whose status is not what it used to be, and he was full of vigor, as if Chu Nan's merits had also been given to him, and he turned around and said with a smile: "Uncle, you didn't say anything in advance when you came, and there was nothing to prepare at home." ”
Chu Nan also knew that this Fu Bo had a very high status in the Yang family, the Yang family had few men, and some of the things outside were all handled by Fu Bo, and even the Yang family sisters were all grown up by him, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "What did Fu Bo say this, isn't this treating me as an outsider?"
Fu Bo was very satisfied with Chu Nan's attitude, and the smile on his face became a little more, and said: "What Uncle said is that it is better for you to go to the living room and wait first, and I will go and order someone to invite Mrs. ”
Chu Nan hurriedly stopped, what kind of joke, he came to propose marriage hard, if he came to have a showdown with his mother-in-law, wouldn't he be looking for death? ”
.................................................................................................................. Bidding farewell to the enthusiastic old housekeeper Fu Bo, Chu Nan got up and walked towards Yang Lie's residence, fortunately, now the Yang family knows Chu Nan, and they also know that he has always been valued by the old man of the Yang family, and he can freely enter and leave Yang Lie's residence without notifying, and no one will come to stop him without interest.
Rejecting a few very enthusiastic maids who wanted to lead the way, Chu Nan walked all the way towards Yang Lie's residence, although Yang Lie's surname was extremely bad, and every time he went to the court, he would mess around, and even pointed at other people's noses and scolded his mother regardless of his identity and demeanor, but in the Yang family's residence, it was very quiet, and he was very lenient with his subordinates.
didn't see the elusive hometown Ding Anbo, who had served Yang Lie all his life, Chu Nan was a little surprised, and when he saw the small courtyard with the gate open but quietly empty, he couldn't help but touch his nose stupidly, there was no one, and he stopped a subordinate to know that Yang Lie had just gone out to visit King Jing.
Chu Nan was a little helpless, the best buffer he could give himself in the Yang family was of course Yang Lie, just like the old lady of the Chu family, although she usually didn't speak, but she really wanted to express her opinion, no one dared to oppose it openly, and she didn't ask Yang Lie to directly support her, at least Yang Lie was present, and she didn't have to be afraid that her mother-in-law would turn her face and drive people away.
Although it was a little unexpected by himself, Chu Nan had no choice, he couldn't go out and drag Yang Lie back, anyway, his status in the Yang family has obviously risen now, and he ran to the back house with a cheeky face, those little maids obviously wanted to stop them, but they were still frightened by Chu Nan's arrogant appearance, and let Chu Nan go after a while.
Yang Wan'er was practicing calligraphy on the table in the room, Yang Lin was a little bored lying on the side and watching, and from time to time she reached out and touched the pen in Yang Wan'er's hand, which made Yang Wan'er complain indignantly a few times, change the paper and continue to write, Yang Lin laughed indifferently on the side.
Yang Wan'er rubbed her wrist, which was a little sore, and inadvertently saw Chu Nan's figure, smiled and patted Yang Lin, who didn't know it, and said in a low voice: "Lin'er, your lover's brother-in-law is here to find you." ”
Yang Lin was a little surprised, glanced back, stuck out her tongue at Yang Wan'er, she could still pretend to be very generous in front of outsiders, but she was really embarrassed in front of Yang Wan'er, who knew her secret.
Yang Wan'er pushed Yang Lin angrily, and said with a smile: "What are you pretending to be reserved, go quickly, my brother-in-law is really bold enough to dare to run to the back house." ”
Yang Lin didn't see Chu Nan for a while, first, she knew that Chu Nan might be busy, and secondly, she was afraid to see Yangmei, so she touched Yang Wan'er's face fiercely, and ran out in Yang Wan'er's laughter and scolding.
........................................................................................................................ Yang Lin saw Chu Nan straighten his face again, pursed his lips and yawned casually, pouting, "Brother-in-law is here, are you coming back with your sister to visit relatives?"
Chu Nan looked at Yang Lin, who was a little angry, and said with a chuckle: "Your eldest sister didn't come, I came to you on purpose." ”
Yang Lin immediately became cheerful, and she didn't have the heart to be angry, she pulled Chu Nan's hand, and saw that there seemed to be a figure in the distance, so she hurriedly let go for fear of being seen, stuck out her tongue and said: "You are so bold, next time let the maid call me, it's better for me to go out and bring you in, otherwise my mother will definitely blame you when I hear it." ”
Chu Nan grabbed Yang Lin's little hand and said softly: "In the future, I won't have to be seen again, I can hold my hand as much as I want." ”
Yang Lin's eyes widened, she bit her lip and looked at Chu Nan, and said, "You...... Is it coming...... Are you here to propose?"
Chu Nan nodded lightly, gently squeezed Yang Lin's little hand, and said with a smile: "I have wronged Xiao Lin'er during this time, I have too many worries, and I want to come back when everything is ready, but now it's okay, I can come in and find you in the future." ”
Yang Lin's eyes narrowed, there was a strange look on his face, and he didn't break free even if Chu Nan held his hand, pulled Chu Nan and walked towards his small courtyard, and said with a smile: "That's it, I've been so wronged these days, I don't dare to go to see my grandfather every day, and I'm ridiculed by Wan'er, I have to compensate me well in the future, be good to me." ”
Chu Nan looked at Yang Lin with an innocent face, his heart was full of pity, and he let Yang Lin drag him into the house, and as soon as he entered the house, he was hugged tightly by Yang Lin.
Yang Lin leaned on Chu Nan's chest and threatened fiercely: "I told Wan'er just now, if you don't come to me again, maybe I'll forget about you, and I won't pay attention to you when you come, and I won't kiss you in the future............"
Chu Nan listened to Yang Lin say these childish words, rubbed her hair vigorously, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, I won't give you this opportunity, if you fall into my clutches, you won't be able to run away in this life." ”
Yang Lin giggled, frolicked with Chu Nan for a while, then raised his head to look at Chu Nan, pouted and said: "My mother is very fierce, a few days ago I was trying to joke about marrying my brother-in-law, but I was scolded by my mother fiercely, so angry that I didn't even eat dinner, and I will definitely scold you in a while." ”
Chu Nan looked bitter, and his heart was very bottomless, and he said with a long sigh: "Don't worry, since you are here, there is no turning back, I can't wait until my mother-in-law finds you a good mother-in-law before coming to grab your relatives, and now there is a good opportunity." ”
Yang Lin was puzzled, and when Chu Nan said that the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate had leaked their mouths, and were heard by Chu Nan's enemy Guo Xianyan, he might be used to make a fuss, and said indignantly: "What a bastard, how can we hinder him............"
Chu Nan looked at the sky outside and said with a smile: "I still have to thank him, otherwise how can I use it to block my mother-in-law's mouth?"
Yang Lin stuck out her tongue and said in a sly manner: "Why do you want to thank him, it's a big deal that I have already had a round house with my brother-in-law, and I have already cooked raw rice, my mother loves me so much, she won't force me to die, right?"
Chu Nan couldn't cry or laugh, pinched Yang Lin's little face with bared teeth and said, "Silly girl, if you really use this method, you will really force your mother-in-law to go crazy, and you have no choice but to do it............ No, there's no way I'm going to let you do that, you're playing with fire, you know?"
Yang Lin pursed her lips and did not refute, and said softly: "Do you want me to go with you to see my mother, don't be deceived by my mother's gentle appearance, my mother is really angry and can scare people to death, my father doesn't dare to persuade ......"
Chu Nan let go of Yang Lin, took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to this matter by myself, if my mother-in-law sends someone to ask about your attitude, as long as you stay in the house and don't speak, don't force yourself to go out............"
Yang Lin frowned and thought for a while, then interrupted: "Why, why do I think it's better to go with you, my mother loves me very much, and at most scolds me." ”
Chu Nan rolled his eyes and explained: "Stupid, it's better for me to be scolded alone than for the two of us, don't worry, when I leave, there will be a time when you will be scolded." ”
Yang Lin didn't care after hearing this, anyway, he was scolded a lot from Da Da, he quickly kissed Chu Nan on tiptoe, took a few steps back and said with a smile: "Go quickly, my knight, wait for your victorious return!"
Chu Nan couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't expect that she still remembered the story of the knight and princess that was told to Yang Lin as a joke, waved at Yang Lin and turned around, thinking that the mother-in-law was waiting for her first.
.................................................................................................................. The Yang family listened to the people's confession, knew the news of Chu Nan's arrival, confessed, and politely explained to a few noble ladies who came to talk to the door, and all the noble ladies who came to the Yang family to talk to Mrs. Yang were also very interesting, and knew that the aunt who was in the limelight of the Yang family was not what it used to be, and he couldn't be lazy, so he left one after another and made an appointment to meet again next time.
Chu Nan left Yang Lin's residence, called a little maid and asked, knowing that the Yang family was already waiting for him, he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly walked towards the living room.
When Yang saw Chu Nan coming in, he hurriedly beckoned Chu Nan to sit down, and then instructed the maid to serve tea and pour water, and said with a gentle smile: "Uncle, but I went to visit the old man? Yesterday evening, King Jing sent someone to send an invitation, saying that he was inviting the old man to drink tea, but my uncle came by coincidence. ”
Chu Nan saw that Yang's attitude was extremely gentle, and he relaxed a little, and said with a smile carefully: "I just went to find the old man, and when I saw that there was no one in the courtyard, I went to see Wan'er and Lin'er, and talked to them, so I delayed for a while." ”
Yang's expression remained unchanged, and when he heard Chu Nan say that he went to the back house to find Wan'er and Lin'er, he didn't seem to care very much, nodded and said: "Your father-in-law is not at home, Jin'er is young, and the old man doesn't care about anything, and there are only a bunch of women left in the family, but it makes my uncle laugh, and when your father-in-law returns to Beijing, you have to come often, and talk to your father-in-law more, we really don't know anything about those officialdom entanglements." ”
Chu Nan had a headache, he was afraid that he would be dizzy when the topic turned around, and he didn't know how to turn back, waiting for the maid to finish pouring the tea and exit, Chu Nan hesitated and said, "Mother-in-law, actually...... I'm here this time...... I'm looking for you for something. ”
Yang's expression was a little surprised, he picked up the teacup and didn't speak, quietly waiting for Chu Nan to follow.
Chu Nan gritted his teeth, knowing that he couldn't delay at this time, stared at Yang and said, "Actually...... The son-in-law is here to propose, and Lin'er and I admire each other, and please ............ Please also ............"
The tea cup in Yang's hand fell to the ground and fell to pieces, the tea wet the corners of his skirt, his face changed, and he looked straight at Chu Nan, as if to confirm whether he had heard it wrong, or Chu Nan was crazy and talking nonsense, waiting for Chu Nan to take back this not funny joke.
Chu Nan couldn't care about anything else at this time, and without waiting for Yang's seizure, Xin Yiheng told everything about the meeting with Yang Lin in the capital and falling in love in Jiangnan, of course, he took all the responsibility on himself, and also said that Guo Xianyan might use this matter to take revenge on himself, and wanted to say the urgent situation in front of him, at least let the Yang family have some scruples.
Yang's face became a little gloomy, and he didn't look at Chu Nan, as if he hadn't heard Chu Nan's words, and waved his hand to the personal maid who was already stunned and didn't respond: "Go, go to the back house and invite a few ladies to come in, saying that there is something important to discuss." ”
Chu Nan lowered his head, his face was full of bitterness, this is going to be judged in three halls, and the road ahead is very difficult.
