Chapter 148: Back to the Imperial City

Chu Zishan sat up and played Chu Mohan, and saw that he was dressed in simple cloth clothes, which should have been dark blue, but they had been washed and turned white. His black hair was tied by a gray cloth, but this poverty did not affect his elegance and nobility.

He bowed slightly, and returned to straightness and straightness, his slightly raised head, with a clear and lonely temperament that would rather bend.

"Sit down."

The stone bench next to her raised her chin.

Chu Mohan sat down, looked at Chu Zishan with bright eyes, and waited for her to speak.

Chu Zishan saw that this kid was really calm, and she smiled: "I don't like twists and turns, so let's just say it, Chu Mohan, you are willing, no, you should dare to take over the current Chu family and become the new patriarch of the Chu family."

Chu Mohan was slightly stunned and shook his head: "It's not that I don't dare, but I don't want to."

"Why not?"

"It's not worth it, and the main thing is that I don't have that time to take care of other people's business, my mother is sick in bed and needs my constant care."

"Oh, you're really a dutiful son, yes. It's really surprising that there are people like you in the old clan."

"They never took me as a concubine in their eyes, and I disdained to dance with them."

"That's right, this is the absolute backbone of my Chu family."

Chu Zishan smiled and clapped his hands, stood up and walked to the stone table, opened the fruit box, and handed it to Chu Mohan: "This is your favorite food, try it."

Chu Mohan looked down at the delicate fruit spots in the fruit box, and was silent for a long time: "The incorruptible are not subject to food."

"Cut, what a nerd." Chu Zishan sneered, took a piece of fruit and stuffed it directly into Chu Mohan's mouth.

"Rude." Chu Mohan choked angrily and put the fruit on the stone table.

"Do you mean this to everyone, or do you have an opinion about me, you can say it directly."

"I don't care to say a word with others, I know that you are different from those people in the Chu family, you burned the ancestral temple and framed the Chu Wang clan for burning the clan elders, you did a good job, you eliminated the harm for the people." Z.br>

"Yo, I'm praised by you, what an honor to have your approval."

Chu Zishan smiled and put his hand on his shoulder, but he brushed it off: "As a woman, you should have the reserve of a woman."

Chu Zishan sighed: "Don't talk about those who don't have it, I advise you to take over the Chu family, first, the Chu family at this moment must have a righteous person to lead, so that the Chu family can completely get rid of the notoriety."

Second, if you take over the Chu family, you will heal your mother, but the ugly words are ahead, even if I cure your mother's illness, she will need a long time of medicinal conditioning after that, and you can't afford this expense in your current condition.

Only by becoming the patriarch will you have a lot of income every month, which is enough to get a good doctor for your mother and good medicine."

Chu Mohan lowered his head and was silent.

"You have passed the examination, you are a knowledgeable person, you can give up your career for your mother, you are a person who values filial piety and etiquette, and filial piety comes first, I believe in your character, and I can rest assured that the Chu family is now handed over to you."

Chu Zishan still lowered her head, not like she had a responsive attitude, she didn't urge him, and walked to the side to watch the gentlemen in the accounting room settle the accounts.

After a while, I heard Chu Mohan say, "My mother has time to drink the medicine, and I'm going back."

"Okay, you go back first, I'll give me a day, you can tell me if you take over the Chu family, no, I'll arrange someone else." Chu Zishan said with a smile.

Chu Mohan nodded, turned around and walked out.

Midsummer shook his head in confusion and smiled bitterly, "Is this person stupid at reading?" Taking over the Chu family is only beneficial to him, especially his mother's illness, is this true filial piety or false filial piety."

"I guess that he didn't enter the official career, a lot of it had to do with not wanting to be used by the Chu family, so he used the excuse of taking care of his mother, of course, it is extremely rare not to be in the same stream as evil. He didn't say yes because he still had concerns in his heart."

"Big girl."

There was a shout behind him, Chu Zishan smiled with relief, turned around and saw Chu Mohan holding the door, panting.

"Why, figured it out

?」

"Big girl, you promise to take over the responsibility of the head of the Chu family, but please don't interfere with the big girl, let alone use me to do some shady things."

Chu Zishan smiled helplessly: "This is your concern, you just said that I am different from the old patriarch."

She walked over and put her hand on his shoulder again: "No matter what kind of person I am, as long as you can keep your heart, you will have a clear conscience."

"A clear conscience, yes, the big girl is right." Chu Mohan smiled and nodded, his bright eyes flashing with brilliance.

"Okay, you go back, Ming'er, I will gather all the clansmen and announce that you will take over the next patriarch."

Chu Zishan looked him up and down and pointed to Midsummer: "You go to the clothes shop on the street and put a few decent outfits for our patriarch."

"Yes, girl." Midsummer smiled in response.

Three days later, a huge notice was posted on the busiest street market in Longling Town.

The notice was written by the new patriarch of the Chu family, writing the debt of the Chu family to the people of Longling Town in the past, and he was willing to scatter all his family wealth to compensate the people.

When the people heard the news, they flocked to the front of the Chu family's mansion like a flood.

The new patriarch of the Chu family ordered the servants to arrange for the people to stand in line to receive the silver in an orderly manner.

The people who received the money danced with joy, and when they saw that they could really receive the money, their faces were filled with the brightest smiles.

Chu Zishan stood on the high pavilion, looking at the crowds of people outside the house, and the laughter, she also curled the corners of her mouth.

Gui Qiu tugged at the corner of Chu Zishan's clothes: "The girl asked the new patriarch of the Chu family to give the people silver, this is to make him give a good impression to the people, and after that, the Chu family doesn't have to live in the scolding and white eyes of the people, the girl is really well-intentioned."

"The people must be pacified, otherwise there will be chaos, tell the bookkeeper to prepare all the money I want, and I will go and distribute the severance money to the wounded soldiers."

Chu Zishan stretched his waist, "After sending the severance silver, I can go back to the imperial city, I am so homesick, I miss my escape."

At noon, Chu Zishan gave the wounded soldiers a severance silver, and watching the veterans leave with tears and sadness, her heart ached.

She asked Zhou Lie to stay until the end, and repeatedly told him to take good care of the veterans, and the people who took them to the Cliff Peak were absolutely loyal, so that they could leave Longling Town safely.

In the evening, she fell into the shadows and quietly watched the wounded soldiers leave Longling Town.

The matter of Longling Town is over, and the big stone that she pressed on her heart finally landed.

Chu Zishan stayed for a few more days, helped Chu Mohan straighten out the people and things in the family, and saw that the old mansion was renovated by Brother Li, she had nothing to worry about, took care of her bags, and set off for the imperial city on the second day.

These days, I haven't slept a good night among the old clan, and on the way, Chu Zishan has been sleeping in the carriage, which makes the four maids think she is sick, but she can't be nervous.

Five days later, she finally returned to the Champion Mansion, and as soon as she entered, a shadow flew towards her.

She stretched out her arms and held the shadow in her arms, rubbing the soft fur of Yi's body with great joy.

"Yi, do you miss me, I miss you so much."

"Boom ......"

Xiao Yi, the young wolf who hadn't seen her for a long time, became a monster, and she was coquettish in her arms, and her big tail wagged loudly.

"Ah, Yi, you're getting heavy." Chu Zishan carried it on his shoulder, patted Yi's buttocks, and smiled and bent his eyebrows.

"Zishan, you're back." Fan Shaobo hurriedly walked over.

Seeing Fan Shaobo's anxious face, she had a bad premonition, and immediately felt a pain in her brain.

Just pressed the matter of the old clan, and then she entered the door, ...... she lamented in her heart, God's destiny, don't you Huo Huocheng alone?
