Chapter Twenty-Five: Face is earned by oneself
Although the Chu family has also been cautious in recent years, the affairs of the house are well organized.
But after all, he was born in a small family, and he brought some small family spirit.
This grandmother is the bridal grandmother of the Chu family, and she has always looked forward to the head of the Chu family.
But herein lies the problem.
There are many unspoken rules in Beijing, and the Chu family is half-understood, and these people are also implementing them indiscriminately.
At this time, she also asked Mama Sun to dress Cheng Jiyuan so expensively, in a sense, she was slapping Xie Wan in the face, and she was also losing the face of the Minchang Mansion!
A phoenix hairpin is brought by a girl on weekdays, but when this kind of death is deadly, is she going to visit Xie Wan or provoking Xie Wan?
But obviously, Mama Sun didn't understand what Cheng Jiyuan meant, but said with an embarrassed face: "Third girl, Madame has instructed......"
Glancing at Mama Sun, Cheng Jiyuan was not as obedient as before, and said lightly: "What? Grandma Sun thinks that your mother is your master, so what I say is not that important, right? ”
This was already said very seriously, and Mama Sun was directly dumbfounded, and she didn't dare to defend anything.
picked up a hosta casually and inserted it into the bun, Cheng Jiyuan left the room without squinting and no longer bothered with Grandma Sun.
Before they arrived in the front hall, Cheng Xiyuan heard the Chu clan's laughter.
Anyway, he was still in the mansion, even if the Chu family was bold, he didn't dare to say it too bluntly, but he was still asking about Tang Wenqi's preferences and the like.
With a sigh, Cheng Jiyuan lifted the curtain and came out.
"Mother."
After a simple salute, Cheng Jiyuan raised her eyes and looked at the eunuch who came to pick her up, but Cheng Jiyuan's back was slightly stiff just by looking at her.
It's none other than Fushun, the great eunuch beside Tang Wenqi.
It was the great eunuch who used to call her the princess with a kind face and torture her with a silver needle.
Sure enough, I guessed correctly, this Hongmen banquet was a game set up by Tang Wenqi for her, waiting for her to throw herself into the net.
Lowering her eyebrows, Cheng Jiyuan hid all her emotions, and she was also gentle and soft towards Fushun.
"Father-in-law Fushun."
Although he was told by his master to observe and observe this Cheng San girl more, Fushun didn't know what to observe, so he smiled and stepped forward to help Cheng Jiyuan: "Why is Cheng San girl so polite?" Liang Di Niangniang often mentions you, it seems that she is really right, you, you are really a model among the ladies and ladies in Beijing! ”
Knowing how difficult this Fushun is, Cheng Jiyuan didn't dare to act rashly, with a cautious and panicked face, while recalling the first time Tang Wenqi visited in his previous life.
"My father-in-law has tormented me, I am just a grassy posture, how dare I compare with a noble person like Liangdi Niangniang?"
In the previous life, Tang Wenqi was not invited in the name of Xie Wan, but came to visit directly.
I'm afraid, this time it's because I'm grounded by Emperor Xiaowen, so I can't come out, right?
Thinking of this, the smile on Cheng Jiyuan's face was even more apprehensive.
has been an old fox for many years, Fushun looked at Cheng Jiyuan this time and how he felt that he was a little childish, that was not worthy of his own master at all, plus the Duchess of Minchang who wrote all her ambitions on her face, this family is really interesting.
Looking at Cheng Jiyuan up and down again, Fushun chuckled lightly, if he can really praise it, it's just that this appearance is not bad.
I don't know what my master means, is it difficult, is it really a lustful and dizzy?
Xie Wan's clear and refined face appeared in his mind again, and after a little comparison, it could be regarded as comparable, and the smile on Fushun's face was inexplicably deeper: "Miss Cheng San, has it been cleaned up?" And you can't let Liangdi Niangniang wait. ”
Chu is also the same eager, although he knows that his stepdaughter has a good color, but she is still too dull on weekdays, and it is even more eye-catching after a little powder, and she is proud of her masterpiece at this time, and she can't wait to send Cheng Xiyuan directly into the East Palace to have a chance encounter with the prince, and a good story of a talented and beautiful woman is promoted!
Cheng Jiyuan raised his head slightly, glanced at Chu, frowned invisibly, and then showed a little obvious fear like a frightened rabbit, and shrank back.
This small action naturally did not escape Fushun's eyes, and he frowned very obviously.
When Chu saw Fushun frowning, he was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Fushun, you wait first, my family Yuan'er is timid, hehe, I have never seen such a big world before, I'll go talk to her." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Cheng Jiyuan towards the backyard, Fushun's eyes fell on Cheng Jiyuan, who was a little cramped, the corners of his impatient mouth were slightly downward, and he picked up his fine tongue and sipped.
As soon as he walked into the back garden, the Chu family stopped, and his face hated that iron could not become steel: "Yuan'er! Such a great opportunity, why don't you know how to grasp it! The prince has handed you an olive branch, what are you still doing with those false courtesies?! ”
Cheng Jiyuan looked at the anxious Chu with a complicated expression, sighed and said, "Mother, you still haven't given up?" ”
Chu Shi choked and stared at Cheng Yuanyuan with wide eyes: "Yuan'er! What are you talking about! Mother, this is also for you! This is a good marriage set by my sister for you, and I, as a stepmother, can't hurt you with a bad conscience! ”
Knowing that the Chu family couldn't listen to persuasion at this time, Cheng Jiyuan sighed helplessly, and raised his wide sleeves: "Mother, this is what you ordered someone to let me change?" ”
Chu didn't know what Cheng Jiyuan wanted to express for a while, so he frowned and nodded: "Mother knows that you have never liked this big red, but you don't want to ......."
"Mother, I'm dressed up like this, not to mention being able to make friends with Liangdi Niangniang, just if I don't offend others, I'll already burn high incense!" Cheng Jiyuan directly interrupted Chu's words, and then raised his hand and pointed to the hosta between his buns: "Mother, what does this ordinary girl mean by taking a phoenix hairpin in the East Palace, have you thought about it?" If I really do what you tell me, I'm afraid that tomorrow the Minchang Mansion will become a joke in the entire capital!" ”
As soon as he heard this, the Chu clan was also awakened in an instant, and he pulled Cheng Xiyuan's sleeve and prepared to go towards Zhilan Courtyard: "Hey! Yuan'er, why didn't you say it earlier! Mother just wanted to make you more magnificent, and forgot about all these things! Let's go change our clothes! ”
Cheng Jiyuan didn't move, looked at Chu Shi with a complicated mood, and then spoke: "Mother, I told you before that our family can't climb the East Palace, and in the future, you can stop thinking about it." ”
After speaking, Cheng Jiyuan withdrew his hand from Chu's hand lightly.
Chu didn't expect that his stepdaughter, who had always been docile, would be so direct and not give herself face, and his face couldn't help but be a little ugly, but when he thought that there was still an envoy from the East Palace sitting in the front hall, he hurriedly followed.
