Starry sky.
Zhao Cheng sent someone to send Chu Xujun and Hua Jin'er back to Chu's house in a splendid carriage.
Hua Liancheng was also happy to see her niece who she had always loved.
Hua Jin'er was drunk, and she was also coquettish in her aunt's arms: "Auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time~"
The mother and daughter took care of her all night and didn't have time to talk much.
The next day, a maid walked around the house, and the noise woke up Hua Jin'er, who woke up in the veil of Youyu Pavilion.
The pain of the hangover made Hua Jin'er "sigh": "Alas, it hurts, who beat me yesterday?" It can't be Zhao Cheng's eight lambs, right? ”
"Some people have long 'elder brothers' and short 'elder brothers' on the surface, but behind their backs they scold people for being the eight lambs. Good is polite. Chu Xujun, who was driven to the bed to rest, pillowed the beauty's arm and teased.
"Huh? Am I here, in your house? Why is it so noisy early in the morning? ”
Outside, Ah Zhu came over and said, "Sons-in-law, the female monarch invites you to go to the middle hall after washing up." ”
Hua Liancheng looked like he had something to say last night, Chu Xujun quickly got up when he heard this, Hua Jin'er held her temples, drank another bowl of sobering soup, changed into the pink clothes prepared by Azhu, and followed out.
After running two steps, Hua Jin'er realized that she had come to her senses: "Mi, you went back to live in the embroidery building?" As I said earlier, don't be so stupid......"
Chu Xujun did not answer.
In the middle hall of the Chu family, the old and the young, the people come very neatly, and the atmosphere is still very subtle.
Hua Liancheng beckoned them to come over and sit on the desk near her.
Ah Zhu briefly talked about the situation along the way, it will be the birthday of the old lady of the Chu family in the near future, and Uncle Dong usually participates in the operation of the birthday banquet, to put it bluntly, there is oil and water in this matter.
It's just that this time, the old lady is not very happy to let him handle it, no, there is a commotion ahead.
Uncle Dong has always only eaten and not spoken at the banquet, but this time he didn't care who came, so he opened his voice first: "Sister, if my brother does something wrong, you can just say, I will change it, can't you?" ”
The old lady's expression was not very happy, and early in the morning, she said that she was invited to breakfast, who knows if she still wanted to make a big deal in front of people.
In the past, she saw that this younger brother was quite obedient, but he changed when he went to the prison and came out.
The old lady used the osmanthus cake in front of her, and she didn't know the taste.
In this Chu family, there is no one to help her speak.
The old lady herself didn't want to think about it, from the beginning, the Chu family was not happy to say a word to her two younger brothers and their families, thinking that the Chu family was disgusting their Dong family, and today, who dares to talk more?
Uncle Dong was especially saying: "Sister, I am your last brother in this world, I know that you have always liked the second brother the most, but he is no longer there." If he were here, my sister would definitely not do this to me today.
I just want to celebrate your birthday for your sister, I usually can, why don't I want to do it this time? Don't you dislike your brother for being framed and going to a prison to suffer, and you are embarrassed by your sister, right? ”
Aunt Dong stroked her husband's back and said, "I thought that as long as you came back, they wouldn't look down on us." Who knows, when you come back, they actually get even worse. Dali, it seems that the Chu family really doesn't welcome us. ”
The old lady's hand kept touching the big Jin Chuan on her wrist with two fingers thick, and when she turned her head, she saw that someone below had a hair ornament that was brighter than her, and said loudly: "This is the little girl of the Hua family, right?" I'm a guest today, but I'll make you see the joke. ”
Uncle Dong was so angry that he almost screamed: "Sister, you actually said that I ...... I'm a joke. You're right, the Chu family really doesn't welcome us. Well, very well. ”
Seeing that Hua Jin'er almost didn't hold back her laughter, Chu Xujun hurriedly got up and said, "Uncle, aunt, how can your mother think like this?" From the beginning, you should have counted what the Mother had done to you. ”
Unexpectedly, it was this usually quiet granddaughter who spoke for her, and the old lady nodded hurriedly.
"Hey, look at it, look at it, the little girl grows up, she will say this." Uncle Dong looked at someone and boasted first.
Lu Qinqin and Dong Fu didn't say anything on the table on the left, but just looked at Hua Liancheng with a smile.
Chu Xia and Chu Qiu brothers sat on a desk and talked to each other, and the second uncle's mother, Cheng Rong, was behind the second uncle, and she didn't dare to say anything.
Hua Liancheng gestured with his eyes and asked you to come to the play, why did you participate in the play?
Chu Xujun secretly saw the "secrets" of King Zhen's Mansion last night, and felt that the old lady of the Chu family's family affairs were much weaker than that, so she continued to say innocently: "Uncle wants to hold a birthday banquet for the eldest mother, which is a good thing." It's just that I don't know what the Dong family brought to celebrate the eldest mother's birthday, and take it out, so that we juniors can see it for a long time. ”
When Lu Qinqin heard this, she also said, "Yes, brother, what did you bring here?" It's also an eye-opener for me and Fu'er. "This Dong Dali couple is just stupid, they still look innocent victims when they come out of the prison, they have been involved in the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Chu family for so many years, and they are still not satisfied?
The old lady of the Chu family disliked herself as a widow and was undignified, and she never let her handle it, so it is no wonder that Lu Qinqin has been resentful for a long time.
This birthday banquet can get a sum of money, and when you buy something, you can deduct a layer, no matter how powerful, the shops outside keep an account, take out the silver and put it for a profit, this time it is how much surplus, no wonder Uncle Dong grabbed it and refused to let it go.
Now Chu Xujun's childish words have pierced the common sense that has been ignored for a long time.
The mother's family wants to make a birthday for the old lady, as long as she brings a gift to add her heart, and the sister who used the money of the Chu family to marry herself organized a birthday banquet in the Chu family, what is the matter with his younger brother of the Dong family?
The old lady has always thought that one of the reasons why the Chu family does not accept her is that every time she has a birthday banquet, the elders of the Chu family's hometown never send anyone over, and she is the real housewife.
She asked the Dong family to hold her birthday banquet, because she felt that the Chu family would not pay attention to her, which made Uncle Dong take advantage of this loophole.
This time, it was his best friend Zhang who mentioned it, and now Uncle Dong is in trouble, and it is still a little undignified to let him handle this matter at such a moment. Now the old lady is the most noble lady of the Chu family, and it is not without other manpower.
The old lady listened, this is it, she wants to speak, who doesn't want to come to her birthday party. Who knows, nothing else has made a sound, but his younger brother, who has always been "well-behaved and obedient", first tore his throat and refused.
Now it seems that all obedience is false, and if one does not go according to their wishes, it will be the opposite.
Zhang's is right, this family, who is in charge, must let them know.
As soon as these words came out, Uncle Dong looked at his sister, he had always taken benefits from the Chu family, why did the Chu family, such a rich family, still reach out to him to ask for things?
The old lady sat up straight and said, "Dali, my sister also wants to see, what did you prepare for me this time?" ”
