The Queen Mother is naturally one of the most dignified people in Daliang, but this time she came to the Chu family to be called a light car and a simple servant, the guards and palace maids were left outside the courtyard, and only the delicate Seventh Princess came in with the Queen Mother's arm.

Chu Yuan leaned slightly sideways to lead the way in front, and answered the Queen Mother's question softly, the Chu family followed behind Chu Yuan, followed by Chu Mad and Chu An brothers, and then the Chu family who couldn't hide their excitement and looked forward to being able to enter the Queen Mother's eyes and soar into the sky.

It's just that everyone went to greet them outside the gate of Chu Mansion, but Chu Nan, Yang Mei, and Chu Yue stayed by the old lady's side, and at this time, they naturally seized the most advantageous formation, making some people in the Chu family secretly frown and dissatisfied, but fortunately, on such a solemn occasion, no one would be shallow enough to put these contradictions on the table.

The old lady was extremely respected by Emperor Liang, and she looked extravagant and domineering in a super-quality imperial outfit, and she didn't mean to get up and bow down, but just stood up slowly, looking at the Queen Mother with a complicated expression.

Since the Queen Mother used the name of coming to the Chu family to "save relatives", she naturally didn't care too much about these etiquette, and stood at the door with a gentle smile on her face.

The atmosphere was a little strange, and the Chu family didn't dare to speak if they knew something, and they didn't dare to know the situation.

The old lady is getting older and older, and Emperor Liang's rights protection is getting heavier and heavier, but every time Emperor Liang comes to see the old lady, he will not let the old lady salute.

The others didn't dare to breathe, and even Chu Yuan was silent, Li Qingxun's eyes rolled, let go of the queen mother's arm, jumped in front of the old lady, and said crisply: "Qing'er has seen the old ancestor............

The old lady dared to confront the Queen Mother with the advantage of the home field and a breath of resentment, but she would not make a face to a young person like Li Qingxun, who was handsome and lovely1 but had a noble status, and hurriedly reached out to help, no matter what, she didn't want to accept Li Qingxun's gift, so she held Li Qingxun's arm and said, "It's time to break the old body...... Your Royal Highness the Princess, don't ...... that"

Li Qingxin was not reluctant, and carefully held the old lady's hand and said: "My father has repeatedly told me to serve the queen mother to ...... you."

The old lady naturally missed Emperor Liang again.

It's just that Li Qingxun's salute broke the stagnant atmosphere just now, and also diluted the obvious disrespect of the old lady just now.

The Queen Mother stepped forward with a chuckle, and said with a smile: "It's been decades, and I've finally found a chance for you to make a face on me...... I'm not afraid of the younger generations laughing at ......"

The old lady also smiled slightly, patted Li Qingxun's arm lightly and did not speak.

The Queen Mother casually found a seat and sat down, looked at the old lady of the Chu family who was aging and vicissitudes, and silently put her gray sideburns, sighed and said with a smile: "I have half cut off the people in the ground, and I can't see each other a few times, maybe I will go to see the first emperor one day............ I can't let you go into the ground with this resentment......"

It's a bit of a sign of weakness.

The others could only stand awkwardly, not even daring to say that the old lady did not return to the main seat, and also sat down in the position of the queen mother, and said with emotion on her face: "I can't remember the people and things back then, and where is there any resentment now......

Seeing that the atmosphere had finally eased up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Tea and snacks were brought up like water, and the Chu family also said a few flattering words relying on the identity of the head mother of the Chu family, although it basically did not get a response from the queen mother, it also made the atmosphere look more normal on the surface.

Li Qingxin stood behind, but he was the busiest person, serving tea and water to the two old men from time to time, and holding snacks for the queen mother and the old lady to eat.

Since the queen mother lowered her posture at the beginning, the old lady is not an uninteresting person, even if she really has grievances, she hides it and goes down the steps.

The two old men recalled the events of the year as if no one was around.

The Queen Mother looked at Li Qingxin gently, pinched half a piece of snack in her hand and said, "Back then, when you and I entered the palace, we were about the same age as Qing'er............"

The old lady nodded, "Maybe it's a little younger............"

When the Great Liang had just established the country, the first emperor of the Great Liang Dynasty had a lifetime, and several wives and concubines and children were also separated or died in the tragic war.

The two old men are not afraid to mention this experience before the younger generation, of course, depending on the current status of the two old men, everyone can only listen to anecdotes, and they dare not slander them, let alone spread them outside.

The Queen Mother looked at Li Qingxun and said with a smile: "At that time, you and I were not as blessed as Qing'er............ In the palace, I was bullied by those palace maids and eunuchs...... Hehe, at that time, I was also timid, I didn't dare to resist, and I usually walked tremblingly against the wall......"

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened, although they didn't dare to say these specific things in front of people, just mentioning this matter is also a good capital to show off.

The old lady was stunned, as if she was recalling something, and said softly: "I still remember that you and I are exactly the same age, and we are only seven days apart, and we happen to be assigned together, and it seems that we are serving flowers and plants in the imperial garden...... If it weren't for the constant bullying............ It was a great errand at the time............"

Li Qingxin was a little puzzled, and asked boldly and in a low voice: "How can anyone dare to bully you............

The Queen Mother smiled, but she did not shy away from mentioning the past in front of her juniors, looked at Li Qingxun lovingly, and explained with a chuckle: "At that time, the two of us were from poor backgrounds, and we were not as versatile as those show girls from rich backgrounds, and there was no silver to put up and down......... Offended the painter in charge of the drawing in the palace again, and our portrait was manipulated...... And then...... After only three days in the palace, he was ordered to go to the imperial garden to do chores...... Hehe, it's said that it's a chore, but it's actually the lowest palace maid, and she has no background, how can she not be bullied......"

The atmosphere became more and more gentle, more and more like an old peasant woman who could not pestering her lively granddaughter, patiently telling the story of her youth.

Li Qingxun became angry, clenched his little fists and said, "It's really hateful............ Did your old man settle accounts with them later?"

Even if she makes a vicious and angry appearance, she can't hide the innocence and coquettishness of the girl.

The two old men laughed and said nothing, just looking at their current status and the means they used to show, some people's fate will not be better, but these things are really not suitable to be mentioned in front of the younger generations.

The Queen Mother sighed, wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "I shouldn't mention these old things in front of your juniors, stop and stop, and it's really funny......

The old lady also looked sentimental, and said with a gentle smile: "It's okay, at this age, the loess is going to be buried too much, what else can't be seen............

These words seem to be comforting the Queen Mother, and they seem to be saying to themselves.

If the topic continues, it is inevitable to mention the grievances between the two and the things about the first emperor, the two old men tacitly stopped this topic, and the grievances of the year were almost revealed with this reminiscence.

The Queen Mother smiled and beckoned, and an old eunuch on the side bowed her head and went out.

The Queen Mother smiled and said to everyone: "Today, it is said that it is a provincial relative, but in fact, it is just to look at the sisters of the year, and by the way, I ended a matter of my heart." Although I know that you lack nothing, the mourners cannot come empty-handed...... There is a reward for each ......."

The old eunuch was followed by a string of palace maids, each holding some precious items in their hands.

Women's homes are all bracelets, hairpins, and brocade things, and most of the men are ancient books, famous inkstones and the like, and Chu Yuan also got a brilliant white jade paperweight.

The reward of Chu Yuan's family was given by the Queen Mother herself, Chu Yuan and his wife skipped not to mention it, first of all, Chu Ping and Chu Qing, who were relatively inconspicuous, were the only ancient books and the famous inkstones of the previous dynasty, which were very precious, and the Queen Mother even took the school exam in person for a few words, and also gave a few words of praise and mention, which made both of them full of excitement.

Below is a long brocade box in the Queen Mother's hand, the Queen Mother rubbed it, looked at Chu Mad and said: "Pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things are not suitable for you, this is a sword personally selected by the mourning family, open it and take a look............"

Chu Yan took it as he said, opened it in the envious eyes of others, took the sword in his hand, and pulled it out, and it was really cold and shining, not ordinary.

Everyone took a closer look, but they were all a little stunned, the sword had not yet opened.

The Queen Mother smiled and said lightly: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the society are also." The so-called heavy sword has no edge, great ingenuity does not work, the benevolent is invincible, you are a general, you should understand this truth. This is the sword of murder, but also the sword of benevolence, but also the sword of responsibility, you are still young, you must remember, if the sword is a battle, it can only be for the common people, for the community. Remember not to fight for your own selfishness, let alone to boast of your martial arts............"

Chu Yan's face was heavy, holding the sword and carefully pondering the Queen Mother's seemingly meaningful words.

Naturally, the others couldn't hear anything else, but they could feel that the Queen Mother was serious and optimistic about Chu Mad under her strictness, and most of the eyes that looked at Chu Mad were a little red.

It's a pity that these things can't be envied, and Chu Mad can't be envied for his glory and exploits, and he is used to the drunkenness of the capital, how many people are willing to go to the bitter cold land to be born and die?

Next is Chu An, a book sent by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother chuckled and said: "It is wise to read history, this is the only book of the previous dynasty's Confucian handwriting. You have performed well in the household department, and Your Majesty has mentioned it many times, but this is not enough, you are different from your eldest brother, he is a military general, even if you can't lose your fierce spirit, you can't have arrogant and arrogant thoughts. If you can take charge of the center in the future, the formulation and transmission of laws and decrees will have to go through your hands, and one carelessness is more serious than suffering a few defeats............"

As he spoke, he pointed to the book and said softly: "On the title page, there are four characters in His Majesty's handwriting, which must be remembered in your heart." ”

The Queen Mother's words simply implied that Chu An had a bright future, if it was a lone history book, it was nothing, and with Emperor Liang's handwriting, the value immediately increased more than tenfold!

Chu Shi also smiled from ear to ear, looked sideways, and there were four big words written on the title page between them, "Walking on thin ice", he was surprised, and said happily: "Ouch, An'er, thank you for the reward of the Queen Mother......

Chu An respectfully held the uncle, thanked the queen mother first, and then bowed in the direction of the palace.

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, and still had preferential treatment for this grandson of the Duke of Yasukuni and the son-in-law of the Chu family, and asked with a chuckle: "What have you been busy with in the household department recently?"

Chu An handed the book to his mother and replied calmly: "Before the end of the year, we had to check the treasury silver, warehouse grain, and treasury silver of the state capitals, and now we have only half of the checks. When the spring begins, we will have to negotiate with the Ministry of War to allocate military rations and salaries for the Mobei, Northwest, and Forbidden Army, and we will start preparing now............"

The Queen Mother was also a little surprised, and looked at An in surprise and asked, "At such a young age, you have already participated in such a confidential and important food?" Qian Fu is cautious, but he didn't expect to dare to use people............

Qian Fu is a distant relative of the Queen Mother.

Chu pursed his lips and smiled, and couldn't help but interject: "This kid is so angry that he is often so busy that he doesn't know how to go home. Even if the concubine asked, she didn't leak anything about military affairs, even if she kept it secret from me, and then the concubine asked to know that there was no ............such rule at all."

said that it was to blame, but it was more of a show-off.

The Queen Mother didn't care, looked at Chu An and nodded repeatedly, and said, "That's how it should be...... That's how it should ............"

After speaking, he looked at Chu Shi hesitantly, and asked, "It seems that he is not married yet?"

Chu Shi was stunned, glanced at the seventh princess Li Qingxun quickly, and said with some worry: "What the Queen Mother said is ......... There are many people who come to ask for relatives, but he said that the great general of the previous dynasty said that the Hu people have not been destroyed, why should the family be ......"

The Queen Mother nodded, but did not answer Chu's words, turned her head and asked the old lady, "Yue'er has not decided to marry?..................

Chu Shi's face was full of disappointment that he couldn't hide, and his heart was broken, why didn't the Queen Mother talk, did she bring the princess just to ease the relationship with the old lady? There are only a few people in the capital who are of the same age, and there are few people who can be worthy of the Seventh Princess, Chu An is definitely the best among them, and he has not yet decided on a marriage, so what else can he do except wait for the royal marriage and the princess to marry? Why can't you see the Queen Mother...... This is old fool............ The Queen Mother only cared about Chu Yue for a while, but she didn't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, searched in the crowd for a while, and said with a chuckle: "Why are you standing so far? This is not like you who are intimidating the heroes in Baoguo Temple...... Come on, you are the most brilliant one of the Chu family's generation, and the mourning family also has a reward, so you must be satisfied......"

The resentment in Chu's heart did not go away, and when he heard the Queen Mother admiring Chu Nan so much, he muttered in a somewhat unconvinced whisper: "He is no longer from the Chu family............"

It's small, but it's loud enough for everyone around you to hear.

Chu Yuan's face changed immediately, but he was patient with his surname, and the old lady turned her head, and her gloomy eyes almost pierced Chu's face.

The Queen Mother didn't seem to hear it, and said with a smile: "It seems that it is not appropriate to reward you with anything...... Well, that's good, the mourning family will reward you with another colt to do......"
