Chapter 9: I Don't Want to Marry
In less than half a moment, the makeup was finished, a delicate and dignified little beauty, her clothes, makeup, and jewelry were not changed, but she was re-dressed.
"Look, what did Sun Dedu say to you?" She called in a deep voice, and there was no ripple on her face.
It's the same voice that speaks, but it's so immature but so calm and inviolable.
Qian Guanguan stepped forward and replied: "Sun Zhangshi said some of the forms of the Chu Mansion today, and there is a chief steward in the mansion; There are two grandmothers in the lady, one in the main and one outside the main house, the one in the main is dedicated to serving the lady, and the one outside the main is in charge of the female dependents in the house; Then there is the young lady and the young master, each with a grandmother; The house is basically what Mrs. says, and Mrs. is very reasonable and well-managed. ”
The tranquilizing incense in the case stove had a good effect, and Chu Yunjing took a long spoon and stirred something into the case stove.
Reasonable? Running a family? Just how stupid is He?
This Sun De is very good at being a man, and he knows that he can't speak ill of his master behind his back.
"Then I don't have much contact with Chu Bo, even if it is the New Year's holiday, I rarely move around, but I go to pay a New Year's greeting to the old lady on the first day of the New Year. Miss's dowry has almost been prepared, and even the ones brought from Yongzhou are piled up in the side room, and they will be pulled out and pasted with the word happy when the day comes. Adults have a lot of things to do in the middle of the court, and they don't spend much time at home on weekdays....."
She only listened to Qian Guanguan's words and said Sun De's words one by one, nodding from time to time, but she never spoke.
After a while, someone came to the main house, and the adults went back to the house to let the eldest lady come over for dinner.
The winter days are short, and the Chu Mansion is brightly lit at two o'clock, and Chu Yunjing looks at the pavilions, floors, and golden red lights on the street through the wall, and the eyes are full of prosperity.
I recalled Chu Yi's appearance in my heart, which was very vague.
After a while, the maid lifted the curtain, she dusted off the cold air on her body, and what caught her eye was her father, who was sitting on the throne and wearing a dark scarlet official robe, who had just come back and had not changed his clothes.
Chu Yi is only forty years old now, with round eyes and square mouth, some fat cheeks are a little sagging, and those dark and deep eyes are as sharp as Chu Yunjing.
Looking down and glancing at He, He took off the hairpin ring during the day, and only made a dress that matched her identity, still smiling with a hint of stupidity, pretending to be kind.
Chu Yunjing bowed his head, and saw that she stepped forward to ask for peace without being humble or arrogant: "Yunjing has seen my father." ”
Chu Yi answered and asked her to get up.
She still bowed her head, the rules were very good, and she didn't offend Chu Yi and glanced at Chu Yi more: "Thank you, father." ”
Next to Chu Yi sat a young man who had never been seen in the daytime, this was her eldest brother Chu Wei, and before she could speak, Chu Wei got up and asked her for peace.
"I've seen big sisters." The vigor between the young man's eyebrows can't be hidden.
"You're Wei'er, you look like this jade tree in the wind." Chu Yunjing praised on his face.
He Shi listened to the words of praising his son, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "You see that your eldest sister is really good at talking, whoever sees my family Wei'er is so praised, I won't tell you that now, there are countless noble girls in Beijing who want to marry my family's Wei'er, if you become a princess in the future, you have to think more about Wei'er, and give her a red line of the princess, hahahaha, let's kiss and kiss!" ”
He is really unpraised, and he gets carried away when he praises, and the more he talks about it, the more he loses his shape.
Chu Yi coughed heavily and glanced at her, and He Shi stopped talking stupidly.
"Sit down and eat!" With Chu Yi's order, several people sat down around the Xuanmu round table.
The maid pointed slightly at Chu Yunjing's side: "Miss, you sit here." "It's the position opposite Chu Yi, Chu Li and Chu Yunxi on the left and right, and next to Chu Yi are He and Chu Wei.
Chu Yi moved the chopsticks first, and then a few people dared to pick up the dishes, this is the rule.
At first, no one spoke, just ate their own, and He happily served vegetables for her children. Chu Yunjing's mother had never given her vegetables, she thought.
This time he came to do something big, so he opened his mouth quietly, breaking the peace at the dinner table.
"Father, I don't want to get married!"
As soon as the words came out, He Shi reacted the most, suddenly changed his face and looked up at her, and then looked at Chu Yi, for fear that Chu Yi would get angry, He Shi opened his mouth in a daze, and he didn't dare to speak, and he couldn't eat anymore.
Chu Yi didn't say a word, just paused for a moment with the hand holding the vegetables, his eyes flashed cold, and then he ate it again.
Chu Wei has always been smart and dignified, without too many waves, and only eats with his head down.
Chu Yunxi blinked his big eyes and asked innocently, "Why doesn't the eldest sister want to marry?" Aren't you going to marry the prince? ”
He Shi was not angry and stared at her. If this marriage is messed up, won't the big words He say in front of those noble ladies be all nonsense, and the dead girl will make her lose face as soon as she comes back, He thought to himself.
Chu Yunjing put down the dishes and chopsticks, his eyes were cold, and he said calmly: "It's not my wish, why should I marry?" It's just a trick to consolidate power between you adults, you haven't thought of me for more than ten years in Yongzhou, but now you think of me? Why do you want me to marry me? ”
He was surprised that this dead girl actually picked out these things, and when she saw her like a good girl in the afternoon, how could she dare to be so disobedient to her elders at the dinner table, could it be that the person she saw in the afternoon was fake?
He Shi stared, his face was full of disbelief, and he opened his mouth in surprise and stammered: "You.... You... How dare you be so disobedient? ”
Chu Yunjing raised his eyes suddenly and looked at Chu Yi resentfully: "I just don't want to marry, unless you tie me up, hold me with a knife, or stab me to death, anyway, it doesn't matter if I am in this family or not." ”
Her tone was a little sloppy, she wanted to provoke Chu Yi, but Chu Yi had always been very calm, she thought that she was simply adding fuel to the fire and tearing off the faces of both parties, anyway, there was no family affection at all.
He Shiqi's chest rose and fell faster and faster, and he was about to eat Chu Yunjing, so he glanced at Chu Yi instead, and saw that he still didn't have a seizure, after all, the head of the family was still there, He didn't dare to say more, and dropped his chopsticks angrily.
She confronted each other, pursing her lips.
I saw Chu Yi say contemptuously: "Hmph, Chu Yunjing, you are really a great skill, even I, an official, can't compare to it!" ”
She was overjoyed, was she going to get angry?
With a bang, Chu Yi put the dishes and chopsticks in his hand upside down on the table, suppressing his anger.
Frightened, Chu Li cried, Mama hurriedly took him down, and those who stayed on the table also stopped their chopsticks, just sat with their heads down, who dared to speak.
She still looked stubborn, and the coldness on her face did not fade, waiting for what Chu Yi said next.
Chu Yi gritted his teeth: "Do you think that my household servant has the ability to reach the sky, and can arrange his daughter to be a concubine for the dignified prince?" That's the emperor's son, is it my turn to be Chu Yi? In Yongzhou, your grandfather eats and drinks well every day to serve you stupidly, even more stupid than your mother, and your mother still knows that this is the will! Will! How can you influence the thoughts of the heavenly family. You said that if you don't marry, you won't marry, you have a few heads that are enough to cut off, and my Chu family will accompany the funeral! ”
He looked at Chu Yi suspiciously, full of grievances, where was she stupid? What is my daughter doing with her?
He was immediately so angry that he burst into tears, and he had nowhere to express his grievances, so he could only pout his mouth and silently wipe his tears.
Chu Yunjing snapped: "Why is that?" ”
Chu Yi laughed angrily: "Why? I have to ask you! Ask me what you did when you were five years old, why did the queen mother impress you and remember you for so many years? ”
The anger on her face turned to doubt, she frowned in a daze, and her eyes surged with surprise.
She really couldn't remember, how could she remember what she did at the age of five? Have you ever seen a queen? Looking at Chu Yi's appearance, it seems that this thing is really not Chu's hand, it is himself?
Five years old! Five-year-old?
What the hell did she do at the age of five?
She only remembered, and she didn't know when Chu Yi brushed his sleeves away. The people at the round table were the only ones left, and He began to cry when he saw Chu Yi leaving.
She really couldn't stand the noise of He Shi crying and wiping her tears, so she simply left, and glanced at He Shi with disgust when she left.
He Shi was stared at by her and cried even more: "Ouch! You little hooves of the heavenly evil star, as soon as you come back, you will disturb the whole family, you have to make trouble for a good meal, you simply refuse the holy decree, my family will find a rope, and the big and small will be hanged together, God! O iniquity! ”
Chu Yunjing walked outside the door and heard He's curse, paused, and his eyes were gloomy.
Turned around and rushed back.
At this time, He was patting the table, clutching his chest and crying bitterly, and the grandmother next to him was anxiously giving her a sigh.
Suddenly, He was dragged by someone, and slipped straight from the round stool to the ground, He Shi couldn't react, and was a little stunned, and then one hand shackled her chest, and a delicate little face as cold as ice stared at her, exuding a chill all over her body.
Chu Yunjing's eyes were sharp, and He Shi was stunned by this sudden chill, and looked at her in surprise.
"You.. You. You... What are you doing? You... How dare you fight... Mother of the House. The grandmother behind He was also frightened, and warned Chu Yunjing incoherently.
She looked at He condescendingly, and her words were sonorous: "What if you fight?" ”
He didn't dare to imagine that this seemingly weak and charming little woman had such an aura.
She solemnly warned He word by word: "I have put up with you for a long time, you had better be polite to me in the future!" ”
With a strong hand, he pushed He Shi back, and the old woman who was waiting hurriedly went to pick it up.
Chu Yunjing turned around, and Chu Yunxi was standing trembling at the door, she didn't dare to look up, afraid that her sister would treat her like her mother.
Chu Yunjing glanced at her, straightened her collar, and walked out without looking back.
Chu Yunxi ran into the house to check on his mother's situation: "Mother, are you okay?" ”
He Shi was helped up, with tears in his eyes, he didn't dare to attack, stared directly at Chu Yunxi's back, and when the person left, he cried in a low voice: "She threatened me? She threatened me! I'm but... But the housewife! I'm but... Nanyang He's ah! Was shouted and beaten by this little hoof? ”
