103 Indicate the heart
"Killed?" Chu Liangrao's eyes moved slightly, and she secretly speculated that this was the means of the one in the palace.
Although this rumor is not worth the prince's immorality, it occupies a favorable advantage in public opinion. As soon as these words spread, I was afraid that it would be difficult for Su Tuochuan to marry a girl with the right 'door'. Not only that, but the prince's side can also ease up a little because of this rumor, and when the people calm down, it is not impossible to clear their names.
You must know that the prince has made frequent mistakes over the years, and the queen has been kept safe, how can it be so easy to bring down the prince with this matter.
Although there was no-for-tat, Chu Liangrao still felt the queen's scheming.
Fortunately, now that the prince has an accident, it is the Zhangfu incident, and the queen will not make a desperate attempt to investigate, which is a help to Chu Liangrao. After thinking about it in her heart, Chu Liangrao talked to Du's mother about a few interesting things from yesterday.
While he was talking, Lilac knocked on the 'door' and came in to spread the word, saying that the old lady had asked the county lord to come over and speak.
These days, the old lady is busy with the affairs of the house, and there are very few words to say to Chu Liangrao, at this time, when something happened in the Su Mansion, she came to Chu Liangrao, could it be that she wanted the county lord to pick up this cheap? couldn't help but stiffen Du's mother's face.
On the other hand, Chu Liangrao was much calmer, giving Du's mother a slightly calming look, she went into the inner room to change her clothes before taking Lilac and Du's mother to the old lady. Before getting off the sedan chair, Qiu's mother greeted her with a smile on her face, saying that the old lady had been waiting for a long time.
Du's mother became more and more uneasy in her heart, but she still stabilized her mind, after all, people are not 'messy', as the personal mother of the county lord, she can't be compared to a maid.
Chu Liangrao nodded slightly, stepped into the courtyard, and was led by Qiu's mother.
Crossing the threshold of the 'door' and bypassing the splendid Nanmu Eight Treasure Screen, Chu Liangrao Shi Ran saluted: "Grandmother." But there was no response for a long time, Chu Liangrao raised her eyes slightly, and saw the old lady kneeling in front of the shrine, her eyes closed, her lips moving, and she looked like she was dedicated to the Buddha.
Straightening up, Chu Liangrao affectionately ordered someone to bring another futon.
Qiu's mother turned around and took the futon and placed it beside the old lady, Chu Liangrao nodded slightly and signaled the person to retreat, and then bowed down like the old lady.
The old lady's eyes opened a slit when she heard the movement, and she saw Chu Liangrao's calm expression and her demeanor bowed generously. The old lady nodded secretly, closed her eyes and recited the scriptures for a while, and then she made a gesture to get up.
Chu Liangrao stretched out her hand and hugged her to get up.
The old lady looked at Chu Liangrao, and saw that there was no resentment between her eyebrows, and there was a hint of warmth on her face. Patting the little hand between her elbows, she opened the 'door' and said, "Have you heard about the Wen family?" ”
"Auntie has heard a little." Chu Liangrao said.
"Hey." Sighing lightly, the old lady sighed with emotion, "Good child, how can you say that if you don't have it, it's gone." If you want to talk about the reincarnation of heaven and karma, it shouldn't fall on the child. ”
The old lady turned around like this and said that Su Erlang was a 'woman', Chu Liangrao did not say anything, helped her sit down, and served the prepared hot tea with both hands. The old lady took the teacup and took a sip, then put it aside, took Chu Liangrao's hand and asked her to sit beside her, and then the old lady said: "Look at our aunt, it really hurts more and more, so well-behaved, how can grandmother be willing to let you get married." ”
Hearing this, Chu Liangrao smiled slightly and said, "Grandmother is reluctant to be a woman?" ”
"It's natural, but Alao is the tip of my heart." The old lady smiled and said, "But Auntie is older, no matter how reluctant she is, grandmother can't mistake your marriage because of herself." ”
Raising her face, Chu Liangrao suppressed the emotions in her heart and said: "Where did grandmother say, it is natural for Grandma to accompany grandmother, where will something go wrong?" Holding the old lady's hand, Chu Liangrao looked sincere, "But Grandma annoyed her grandmother, so grandmother would say such things." ”
As soon as these words came out, the corners of the old lady's mouth, which was still smiling, almost undetectably, 'twitched', and then covered up the past with a more loving smile: "Look at you kid, what do you think about a day?" As he spoke, he raised his index finger and tapped Chu Liangrao's forehead, and then instructed his subordinates to bring pastries to Chu Liangrao to taste.
Chu Liangrao responded, and tasted the osmanthus 'flower' cake in small sips, and the sweet taste made her 'dew' a trace of satisfaction.
The old lady swallowed the tea and said, "This osmanthus 'flower' cake was sent by Baoqingzhai in the east neighborhood, what does Aroo think?" ”
Du's mother was nervous, this Baoqingzhai was the place where Chu Liangrao and Su Tuochuan first met, and the two met because of the dispute over the osmanthus 'flower' cake. I didn't expect the old lady to ask Chu Liangrao so bluntly, Du's mother felt a little helpless, pinched her wet palms, and she secretly looked at Chu Liangrao.
I saw that Chu Liangrao's face did not change, and said seriously: "Sweet but not greasy, melts in the mouth, and seems to be more refreshing than before." Having said that, Chu Liangrao put down the uneaten osmanthus 'flower' cake in her hand.
The old lady nodded with satisfaction and said: "This Baoqing Zhai has been open for so many years, and now it has changed to someone else, and this pastry is indeed better than in the past, which shows that there is still merit in this later generation." ”
"It is not unreasonable for people to go to high places, and Baoqingzhai's business is thriving." Chu Liangrao said.
The old lady's eyes lit up, and she secretly said that Arao, this kid is a discerning person, so it can be seen that she is worried that the Su family is doing too much, so she will no longer bring the topic to that matter. Chu Liangrao patiently accompanied the old lady for a long time, and then stayed for dinner, and then went back to her yard.
Closing the 'door' of the room, Du's mother muttered in her heart, and then saw that Chu Liangrao had rested like a nobody, so she left Ding Lan to guard, and took Lilac out of the house to talk quietly.
Lilac naturally knew what Mother Du was worried about, but fortunately, she had the bottom in her heart, so she said: "Mom, don't worry, the old lady is talking to the county lord today, but she doesn't want the county lord to suffer." Just like the county lord said, do you have to look forward to being a man? ”
After hearing this, the stone in Du's mother's heart fell to the ground, and after thinking about it in her heart, she waved her hand to let the cloves go down. Looking at the corner of the courtyard steadily, Mother Du muttered to herself: "It's no wonder that the old lady is worried, if it was the former county lord, she would definitely go to find that Su Erlang......" shook her head, shaking off these thoughts that shouldn't be there, Mother Du let out a long sigh of relief.
When Chu Liangrao woke up, Zhou's mother also came back, and with the help of Lilac, she passed the word and went into the house to reply. "Lilac, bring a cup of tea to Mom." Chu Liangrao commanded. Lilac knew that she was inconvenient to be there, so she withdrew from the house, consciously guarded the 'door' of the room, and handed over the matter of serving tea and pouring water to a little maid.
