Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Taboo of the Chu Family

readx;

Looking at the distraught Yangmei and Chu Yue, who was about to continue to laugh, Chu Nan hurriedly interjected to relieve Yangmei, and said, "Yue'er, you're messing around again, do you want to find a fight again?"

Chu Yue let go of Yangmei for the time being, turned her gun at Chu Nan, and pretended to be aggrieved and said angrily: "Sure enough, if you have a lady, you don't want a sister, hmph, it's you who is talking about it!"

Yang Mei hurriedly said, "Good Yue'er, just go around me this time." Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info If you talk about it, your sister-in-law won't be able to live, no matter what Yue'er asks, your sister-in-law will promise you. ”

Chu Nan looked at Chu Yue and Yang Mei and lowered her voice and bargained there, and she didn't bother to care about what they were talking about, she frowned and asked, "Yue'er doesn't accompany grandma at this hour, what's the matter with coming here?"

Chu Yue nodded and said slowly: "Yes, my father is making amends to my grandmother, so let me invite my sister-in-law to come over, saying that there is something to order." ”

Yang Mei didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly stood up and blamed: "Why didn't Yue'er say it earlier, wouldn't it make my father-in-law dissatisfied if it was too late?" Let's hurry over." ”

Chu Yue stretched out her hand to hold Yangmei, and said with a smile: "Grandma is still angry, now Daddy is afraid that he is being taught by Grandma to have no temper at all, if it is now in the past, wouldn't he be suspected of going to see jokes?"

Yang Mei thought about it and said embarrassedly: "Yue'er still thinks clearly, no wonder your brother often praises you, it's really more thoughtful than I thought." ”

Chu Nan smiled, thought for a while and asked, "Who else is going with you?"

Chu Yue stuck out her tongue and pouted, "I knew that I couldn't hide it from you, brother, and Aunt Guo also went with me." When I came, I saw that the third, second and fourth brothers were all rushing to grandma, and the eldest brother was supposed to go over, but he said that he was going to see His Majesty in the palace, so he didn't go. ”

Chu Nan sighed, glared at Chu Yue, got up and said, "Let's go, let's hurry over." ”

Yang Mei followed behind the two of them a little dazedly, and asked softly, "Didn't you say that you would go later? Why did it change so quickly?"

Chu Nan took a few steps behind, walked beside Yangmei, and said softly: "The matter in Jingzhou is almost all done by Aunt Guo, grandma is very dissatisfied with this matter, and now there is no Yue'er and I by my side, I am afraid that no one will dare to persuade me." If we don't go, Aunt Guo is afraid that she will have to kneel there all the time and dare not get up. ”

Yangmei turned her head to look at Chu Yue, who had a faint expression, and nodded thoughtfully.

Sure enough, in the room where the old lady lived, Chu knelt on the ground and bowed his head silently, Chu Yuan kept sighing, but he didn't dare to say anything, while the old lady sat around the bed, turned her head to look out the window and was a little distracted, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her. The little maid behind her was carefully pinching the old lady's shoulder.

Chu Yuan didn't dare to speak, let alone Chu An, Chu Qing, and Chu Ping, who didn't dare to come out.

Several people couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Chu Nan and the three of them come in, and Chu Yuan even glanced at Chu Yue again and again, signaling her to hurry over and persuade the old lady who was stubborn and angry.

Chu Yue stepped forward with a smile, took the old lady's hand, and said softly: "Grandma, the fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law are here, and the eldest brother was recruited into the palace by His Majesty, saying that he would come back in the evening to greet grandma." ”

The old lady turned her head, looked at Chu Nan and Yangmei who were standing side by side, and beckoned with a smile.

Chu Nan gently pushed Yangmei, and Yangmei came to her senses, and hurriedly went over to sit on the edge of the bed to hold the old lady's hand, and called grandma softly.

Chu Yue seemed to think of something, and muttered something in the old lady's ear, and saw that the old lady was first shocked, and then looked at the bayberry, and said again and again: "Okay, good, that's right, you have to step up your efforts, and it would be better for me to hold my great-grandson soon." ”

Yangmei's face was dripping blood, biting her lip and bowing her head without speaking, if the old lady said these words in private, she could bear it, but now she was a little ashamed to say it in front of so many people.

The old lady gently took off an emerald green bracelet from the old man's slender wrist, gently put it on Yangmei's wrist, and sighed: "I was still in Jingzhou when you entered the door, and I didn't give you anything." This bracelet was passed on to me by you and my mother-in-law, and I should make up for it now. ”

Yangmei didn't feel anything, but when she heard the origin of this bracelet, she couldn't help but hesitate, looked back at Chu Nan, and saw Chu Nan nodding lightly, so she accepted it and thanked her softly.

Chu's face turned pale, such an heirloom bracelet was given to Yangmei but not given to himself, it can be seen that the old lady's dissatisfaction with herself is obviously not the slightest, the more a big family like the Chu family does things, the more you have to pay attention to orthodoxy, and today's bracelet matter is spreading, affecting your prestige in the Chu family, especially the Chu family's old mansion, is light, and if it is serious, it will affect Chu An's status in the Chu family.

The old lady looked at Chu Shi, who was kneeling on the ground with a sad expression, and said lightly: "I've been kneeling long enough, so get up." Don't blame me for being ruthless, I used to kneel for a whole day when I was my daughter-in-law. ”

Chu Shi had already gotten up, but when he heard the old lady's words, he almost knelt down again with a weak knee, and was helped by Chu Yuan to stand firmly, and said in a low voice: "The daughter-in-law is guilty, and the mother-in-law should be punished." ”

The old lady was noncommittal, looked at the room of children and grandchildren, and sighed: "Chu Qing and Chu Ping have always been by my side, maybe they have been taught me a lot, and their surnames are inevitably a little weak." Chu An doesn't have the ruthless and irritable surname of his childhood, maybe your ability to teach your juniors is indeed much higher than mine. ”

Chu Yuan's expression was sad, it would be good if the old lady pointed at her nose and scolded, but she was tormenting people by not moving her expression like she was now, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

The old lady changed her words and said lightly: "But now it seems that Chu Nan and Chu Maan, who have been disobedient to discipline since childhood, are now good, but it's a pity that one is too indifferent and ruthless, and the other is too affectionate and persistent, otherwise they are both great talents." ”

Chu Yuan glanced at Chu Nan, who was silent with his head bowed, as if he was a little emotional, shook his head and sighed softly: "They are too much like their respective mothers." ”

The old lady's face changed slightly, Chu Yuan knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly said: "Mother, this time, I am here to ask you for my guilt, and second, I want you to decide some things." ”

Hearing this, Chu glanced at Yangmei, and hurriedly said carefully: "Yangmei is a good hand at housework in the Yang family, and there is no reason to come to the Chu family and have nothing to do." After the daughter-in-law and her husband discussed, they decided to let Yangmei learn to take over the housework, firstly, not to bury her talents, and then she could also share some of the daughter-in-law's burden, and the daughter-in-law of the province could not take care of it, and then did the wrong thing. ”

Yang Mei was still thinking about her thoughts, and when she suddenly heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand and said: "My mother-in-law has been managing the family very well, and my daughter-in-law doesn't know much about the situation at home, so I'm afraid that it will become more and more chaotic. ”

The Chu family felt bitter in his heart, he had been in charge of the Chu family for so many years, was he really willing to retreat into the background?

It's a pity that because Guo Zhong did something in the old mansion in Jingzhou last time, he completely annoyed the old lady, and in order to calm the old lady's anger, he had to make this decision. Otherwise, if the old lady just came to the capital and returned to the old house in Jingzhou because of this matter, or if she was really angry, she would not have her own foothold in the Chu family or in the capital.

It may be nothing to be an evil mother-in-law, but if you are a bad daughter-in-law, it is unfilial, and it is a big sin to soak the pig cage in Jingzhou!

Chu Yuan said slowly: "If you are not familiar with the things at home, you can learn slowly, just let Yue'er help on the side." ”

Yang Mei stretched out her hand to hold Yue'er's hand, looked back at Chu Nan, and saw him nodding with a smile, before she said softly: "The daughter-in-law is still young, and the big things still need to be decided by the father-in-law and mother-in-law, and some trivial matters are left to the daughter-in-law." ”

Chu Yue didn't care about the eyes of others, held Yangmei's hand, and encouraged: "Sister-in-law, you can do it, who in the capital doesn't know your talent!"

Chu Yuan looked at the old lady's face and asked carefully: "Mother, let the people who packed up their bags stop, or don't go back to Jingzhou." ”

The old lady chuckled, took Yangmei's hand, and sighed: "If you don't leave, you won't leave, and you have to wait to hug your great-grandson before leaving." ”

Yang Mei bit her lip and didn't dare to raise her head, and secretly glared at Chu Yue with a red face.

Chu Yuan let out a long breath, as long as he didn't leave, otherwise, no matter what the truth was, he would have to bear a reputation for unfilial piety first, and it was okay to say in the capital that if he returned to Jingzhou, he would break his backbone.

Chu Yue glanced at Chu Nan, and muttered something in the old lady's ear, so many people present can do this, she is the only one who can do this, she has been in charge of the Chu family's old mansion for so many years, and the person in the Chu family who is most favored by the old lady is not just talking.

The old lady frowned at first, glanced at Chu Nan, and asked Yang Mei softly: "Nan'er found a concubine outside, do you know about this?"

Yang Mei was startled at first, bit her lip and glanced at Chu Nan, and said in a low voice, "I know." ”

The old lady nodded, as if she was a little displeased with Guan He, frowned and asked: "I heard Yue'er say that she is the name of Xinyuelou, Nan'er has asked you? Are you willing to let her enter the door? Don't be afraid, you are the young lady that the Chu family is marrying, if you don't want to, just tell me, don't wronged yourself." ”

Yang Mei's expression was complicated, and she thought for a long time before she explained softly: "Although Guan He originally belonged to Xinyue Tower, he was an innocent person. My husband also asked me, and I went to see her, and I agreed to let her in. ”

Chu Nancai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled bitterly and cast a grateful look at Chu Yue, picking out this matter at this moment, but it was a matter of concern for himself, Yang Mei agreed, and the old lady nodded again, and completely cleared the obstacle for Guan He to enter the door.

Chu Shi frowned, of course she knew about Chu Nan's redemption for Guan He, but she only wanted to raise a canary to play like those nobles, but she never thought that she would let a Qinglou woman enter the gate of the Chu family in such a few words, and just as she was about to say a few words, she was glared at by Chu Yuan fiercely, and then she remembered that she was here to make amends, and she had no choice but to swallow the words that came to her mouth.

The old lady nodded, glanced at Chu Nan with a cold expression, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, I will send a few clever girls from the family to serve me, and send the monthly money." In any case, they are already members of the Chu family, and the courtesy they should have is still indispensable. But there is no one and two, so it is better for people with such origins to receive less at home!"

Naturally, everyone didn't dare to object, but today, it was originally the Chu family and Chu Yuan couple who came to make amends, but now it has become a matter of dealing with Chu Nan's private affairs, and in the end, Chu Nan and Yang Mei both got great benefits, but the others became audiences.

The matter has ended, seeing that the old lady looks a little unhappy, everyone also got up and retired with interest.

Chu Nan whispered something to Yang Mei, and in Chu Qingping's complicated eyes, he took a few little maids selected by Chu Yue to visit Guan He, while Yang Mei and Chu Yue had Zhao Jiu go down to be familiar with the Chu family.

Yang Mei watched Chu Nan leave, couldn't help sighing, quickly collected her thoughts, and said to Zhao Jiu with a smile: "Uncle Jiu, this is two thousand taels of silver, it looks like winter is about to begin, and everyone has been busy for more than half a year, so it's time to send out some benefits." You go and use the money to buy some winter clothes for people inside and out, especially for children, to be thick and warm, and if not enough, come to me. ”

Chu Yue glanced at Yangmei with a smile, and secretly praised Yangmei for being smart, she had just taken charge of housework, and there was a Chu family on it, it was obviously not advisable to rely on Liwei, but it was the best way to establish prestige by being generous.

Yang Mei had something in her heart, and after hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Jiu is the old man of the Chu family, can you tell me about Chu Nan's mother." When I heard my father-in-law mention it today, I remembered that I hadn't heard anything about her for so long. ”

Chu Yue put away her smile, took Yangmei's arm and bowed her head without speaking.

Zhao Jiu put away the silver ticket, and when he heard Yang Mei's words, he couldn't help but hesitate, and said softly: "Young lady, don't ask, this is a taboo in the Chu family, and you can't mention it." ”
