Chapter 65: Purge?
readx;
Chu Nan now has countless halos on his body, and he has just gone to Fusang Mountain with Emperor Liang's secret decree, and his sudden visit to the Chu family has certainly attracted a lot of attention. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Many people are speculating whether Chu Nan went to the Chu family this time, whether he was forced to be helpless by the emperor's order, or whether he was trying to take the initiative to ease the conflict with the Chu family.
If it's the former, it's okay to say.
If it is the latter, the Chu family will definitely make waves again.
Chu Nan frowned and pondered something, and after walking for a while, Yang Mei gently pinched her arm before coming back to her senses, and nodded with a chuckle at Chu Yuan and Chu Shi.
Chu's face was quite complicated.
Now that Chu Nan has been expelled from the family and Chu has gone to the northwest, Chu An's heir status has become more and more unbreakable.
But Chu Mad's high position in the northwest is already quite a headache, and Chu Nan has also risen like a rocket, which is really hard to figure out.
The Chu family thought angrily, in the eyes of outsiders, how could it be that Chu Mad and Chu Nan gave up the position of the head of the family to Chu An!
When Chu Yuan saw Chu Nan, he also frowned, nodded lightly at Yangmei and greeted, "It's here............"
Yangmei let go of Chu Nan, chuckled and stepped forward to salute.
After some politeness, several people sat down as hosts and guests.
With the enmity of his mother's broken arm, it was impossible for the Chu family to be affectionate to Chu Nan, so they had to talk to Yangmei with a strong spirit.
Chu Yuan and Chu Nan just drank tea silently, and neither of them had the intention of speaking.
After a long while, Chu Nan put down the teacup and asked softly, "What about Yue'er......"
Chu's face flashed with a hint of gloom.
Chu Yuan frowned slightly, and said slowly: "Accompany the old lady in the back......"
Chu Nan glanced at Chu Shi, lightly said yes, and didn't ask much.
Yang Mei observed her words, interjected with a chuckle, and said to Chu Nan: "Husband, didn't Your Majesty say that you want to visit the old lady? Why don't you go now......?"
Chu Nan nodded lightly and stood up.
Chu Shi looked at Chu Yuan, who was silent, and said a little weakly: "I'll take you to ......"
.................................... The old lady was old and not immune to the disturbance, and the place where she lived was very quiet.
Chu led the way in front, and along the way, he also told how attentive and thoughtful he had been taking care of the old lady recently.
Chu Yuan didn't follow, and went to the study to read.
Outside the door of the small courtyard, there are two shrewd family guards.
Chu Shi chuckled and explained: "The old lady has been a little sleepy recently, and I was afraid that someone with a short eye would come and startle the old man, so I sent someone to guard the ...... here."
As he spoke, he frowned and waved his hand, signaling the two to hurry down.
Yang Mei smiled and did not speak, and Chu Nan was noncommittal.
Walking into the small courtyard, the three of them subconsciously relaxed their steps.
No matter what, the old lady is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Chu family, although she is old, she has unquestionable authority.
Chu Yue sat on the small stool in front of the door and read a book, and when she saw that someone was coming, she hurriedly took a book to cover her eyes and read it, stood up and said in surprise: "Brother...... Sister-in-law...... You're here!"
Chu's face, which was ignored as a transparent person, was gloomy for a moment.
Yangmei stepped forward to take Yue'er's hand, nodded and smiled.
Chu Nan chuckled lightly and tapped on Chu Yue's head, "I'm not here, you're messing around again!"
Chu Yue touched her head and smiled stupidly.
The Chu family knew that she was not popular, and as the hostess of the Chu family, she actually had a feeling of being away from home, and she felt uncomfortable when she thought about it, and said with a forced smile: "Then you can talk...... I'll go down and prepare lunch......"
Chu Nan, Chu Yue, and Yang Mei watched the Chu family leave, and no one opened their mouths to stay.
Chu Yue snorted coldly at Chu's back, pursing her lips to show disdain.
Chu Nan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Chu Yue's eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't look at it...... The Great Grandmaster can't kill anyone with his eyes!"
Yang Mei laughed out loud, held back again, and asked, "What about the old lady......
Chu Yue pouted at Chu Nan, pulled Yangmei towards the house, and said softly, "Grandma has already slept...... Otherwise, I wouldn't be so idle......"
Chu Nan walked into the house, frowned at the strong smell of medicine, walked to the old lady's window, and sure enough, he saw that there was still unfinished medicine residue on the table at the head of the bed.
The old lady looked much thinner, and the wrinkles on her face were much denser than before, and she gasped for breath from time to time in her deep sleep, and felt a little breathless.
Chu Yue stepped forward and gently put on the quilt, and said slowly: "Although grandma's illness is cured, her body is getting weaker and weaker, some time ago, I sat in the yard for a while, and then I contracted the wind and cold again, and I couldn't sleep with cough and asthma at night, and I was very ......sleepy during the day."
Chu Nan stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, gently held the old lady's thin hand, sighed and did not speak.
The old lady is old, and even if she puts a lot of effort into raising it, there will always be all kinds of old diseases.
"Grandma often asks you about things...... Chu Yue said with a smile, "Do you want to wake up?"
Chu Nan shook his head, stood up and said, "It's hard to get a good night's sleep, don't mess around...... Go outside and talk......"
........................ "Hmph, I didn't agree, grandma also nodded, and my father didn't speak, so she was impatient to marry me off!" Chu Yue was full of complaints, and said to Chu Nan with a bitter face: "Now, she even grounded me and didn't allow me to leave this courtyard!"
Chu Nan knew that the Chu clan was grounded in Chu Yue, and it must be because Chu Yue mocked all the talented people in the capital.
No matter what, Chu Yue was furious, and couldn't help but let Chu's plan fall through, and slapped the faces of the talents, offending more people.
Yang Mei chuckled and said, "Who in the capital doesn't know Yue'er's majesty now?!What is such a small price?"
Chu Yue leaned on Yangmei, shook Chu Nan's hand and said, "Brother...... Do you know that someone is going to trade your sister for a good future for her son?"
"What?!" Chu Nan frowned and asked, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Although Chu Yue was cold in front of outsiders, but now she was full of grievances, and finally saw Chu Nan, of course she had to pour bitter water, "What else could it be?" Some time ago, the Queen Mother sent someone to deliver a message, making it clear that she had no intention of letting the Seventh Princess marry into the Chu family, and some people were very disappointed! So, I came up with a bad idea, my son can't marry a princess, and it's not bad to push my daughter out and add a prince!"
Chu Nan rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "It's your own crankiness, right? No matter how the Chu family is, it has not fallen to the point of sacrificing you to marry...... Besides, it's not her turn to call the shots about your marriage!"
Chu Yue sighed and said faintly, "You're not here...... Big brother is not there either...... Dad was so busy that I didn't dare to tell my grandmother...... She is also a mother-in-law, rightly speaking, if she really wants me to marry, what can I do?"
Chu Nan patted Chu Yue's hair, only to realize that she was no longer a reckless little girl, and she had already made a clear distinction in her heart.
Chu Yue tilted her head, dodged Chu Nan's hand, leaned on Yangmei and looked at Chu Nan dissatisfied, and snorted coldly: "It's not a child, don't keep touching my head......"
Yangmei and Chu Nan both laughed.
Chu Yue said angrily: "Are you still laughing?!Do you know that she is already crazy and wants to marry me off so that she can give Chu An a good ally?!At first, I didn't think that I was ordered by her to go to the poetry club several times, either to meet the crown prince or the seventh prince, and a few days ago she even asked me how I felt about Li Zhen............ Oh my God, she's going to let me marry Xiao Jiu? Why don't you kill me......?"
After hearing this, Chu Nan couldn't take Chu Yue's words as a joke anymore, raised his hand to look at Chu Yue's frowning and wary expression, didn't pat her on the head, shook his head with a chuckle and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me...... I'm just such a sister, I don't nod my head, and whoever says it doesn't count......"
........................ Chu Nan definitely couldn't use these troubles to disturb the old lady, and appeased Chu Yue, who was a little anxious, for a while, and promised to help Chu Yue solve all the troubles.
After talking for a long time, the old lady showed no sign of waking up.
Chu Nan stopped Chu Yue's intention to wake up the old man, and said with a smile: "Come and relax...... Don't mess around......"
Chu Yue also knew that it was not easy for the old lady to sleep peacefully, so she didn't insist.
Seeing that it was not too early, Fu Bo, the housekeeper of the Chu Mansion, came over, first saluted Chu Yue and Yangmei, and then said to Chu Nan: "Young master...... Sir, please come over ......"
........................... Chu Nan was ordered to come to Chu's house, and Chu Yuan went home for vacation at the time of the chaos in the northwest, such a coincidence made Chu Nan very suspicious.
Probably, Chu Yuan's feeling is similar.
Chu Nan couldn't figure out Emperor Liang's intentions, and he never meant to see Chu Yuan, but he didn't expect Chu Yuan to take the initiative to see him for the first time.
In the study, Chu Yuan was dressed in civilian clothes and was holding a book of Analects to read again.
However, Chu Nan knew that although Chu Yuan was very knowledgeable and even had the name of a talented man in his early years, he was not an orthodox Confucian in his bones.
Fauber took the tea, closed the door and withdrew.
The Chu family, who got the news, was surprised, but couldn't help but be a little worried, but they didn't dare to come and take a look.
Chu Yuan lowered his head and flipped through a few more pages, threw it on the table casually, looked at Chu Nan who was standing with his hands in his hands, sighed and said, "I still didn't suppress you after all......"
In this study, Chu Yuan once yelled at Chu Nan with a cold face, "If I am here for a day, I will not have your beginning!"
It's just that time has passed, and now looking back at the original sentence, both of them have complicated thoughts.
Chu Nan didn't have much smugness, but sighed and bowed his head and said: "When the northwest is over, I don't need you to press, I will sink myself......"
Chu Yuan looked at Chu Nan in surprise, there were times when he was-for-tat, and there were times when he sneered and was silent, but he rarely saw Chu Nan's tone and demeanor, and he felt a little sour in his heart for no reason, he lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, his tone slowed down a lot, and said lightly: "Among the five of you brothers, you are too cold and arrogant and don't know how to advance and retreat, Chu Mad is too affectionate and righteous to learn and will not betray, even if you have any complaints, I will not hand over the Chu family to you......"
Chu Nan pursed his lips and did not speak.
"Chu Qingping is not angry, and he doesn't mention it. It's Chu An, although it is impossible to see the wind dragon like you and Chu Mad and can stir up the world at a young age, but the surname, background, and intelligence are all suitable candidates to inherit the Chu family...... The Chu family doesn't need to fight for anything anymore, as long as it can continue safely......"
Chu Nan smiled and said lightly: "To be honest, Chu Mad and I may not have the heart to fight for anything, it's just that some people like to worry about the sky and mediocrity to disturb themselves......"
Chu Yuan's expression was calm, he didn't refute or explain anything, and nodded indifferently and said, "That's fine...... Even if the Chu family is really purged, there is always a vein that can continue......"
