104 Calculations
"I was thinking of looking for Mr. Zhu to help cover up, but before I left the city, I met Caiyin next to the eldest princess." Mother Zhou looked ashamed and said, "Mom wanted to find a stubble to avoid, but how did she know that the eldest princess was also out of the house today......"
Chu Liangrao's heart sank, and she didn't need Zhou's mother to say that she could guess that this matter was not done today.
The eldest princess Yin Hua has been "sick" for some time, and it is really suspicious that she suddenly went out of the house today and happened to meet Mother Zhou.
was silent, Chu Liangrao did not pursue the matter of Zhangfu, and only asked what the eldest princess said to Zhou's mother.
Mother Zhou said 1510, and when she saw that Chu Liangrao's face had returned to calm, she said again, "County Lord, Mrs. Zhang invited herself to go to the court today, but she was stopped by Mrs. Zhang, saying that the Zhangfu has not been out of the hall for so many years, and now she can't let the side 'door' get in the way." ”
Hearing this, Chu Liangrao couldn't help but tug at the corners of her mouth, this old lady didn't seem to know that her daughter-in-law was already standing on the same line as the queen, and such a scolding scolded the queen as well.
"This Zhang's second room also has some ability, and Mrs. Zhang's 'forced' to be like this." Zhou's mother sighed.
"Mom is tired today, go down and rest." Chu Liangrao said gently.
Mother Zhou walked out of the house, and looked at Chu Liangrao who was sitting upright before closing the 'door' of the room, only to see her eyes slightly drooping, gently caressing the peony 'flower' of the embroidery at the corner of her clothes, and she couldn't see any emotion.
Rao is like this, Zhou's mother still sweats in her palm.
When Zhou's mother closed the 'door', Chu Liangrao's face sank.
I really overestimated the so-called morality, Zhou's mother is full of 'holes' in her words and deeds today, obviously she didn't meet Princess Yin Hua by chance, but to avoid conflict. Of course, she did this because she didn't want to cause trouble to Chu Liangrao, but her behavior also reminded Chu Liangrao that the people in this room should be more careful.
As for why Princess Yin Hua no longer pretended to be sick, Chu Liangrao felt that it was necessary to investigate.
And the mess on the Zhang family's side, Chu Liangrao doesn't want to 'interfere', even if a concubine is coquettish, but it is not easy to be pampered for many years, at this time, she can still 'force' the main mother with the support of the queen to go to the court, it can be seen that she underestimated this concubine of the Zhang family.
If it is an ordinary force, it can be against the queen......
Could it be that Zhou's mother will give up because of this? Chu Liangrao frowned slightly.
After thinking about it for a while, Chu Liangrao called Lilac to come in and sharpen the ink, and practiced several big characters, Chu Liangrao felt that the anxiety in her heart was a little calmer, so she put down the pen. Wiping her hands with a handkerchief, Chu Liangrao leaned on the beauty couch uncharacteristically, and her lazy rather than graceful posture made Du's mother who came into the house lose her mind.
Coming back to her senses, Mother Du said respectfully: "County Lord, it's time to set the meal." ”
"Hmm." Chu Liangrao responded softly, and didn't mention the meal.
While she was eating, Zhen'er hurriedly came in and said, "County Lord, it's not good, it's not good." ”
Mother Du frowned slightly and reprimanded: "Have you learned all the rules in vain?" What a system to become so impatient! ”
Zhen'er didn't care about explaining, she only buried her head and said, "There is an accident in the eldest princess's mansion." ”
This time, Du's mother also forgot to say that Zhen'er was not, and she was stunned, she raised her eyes to look at Chu Liangrao.
Chu Liangrao put down the chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhen'er didn't say it all at once like pouring beans in the past, but she blushed heavily.
Mother Du couldn't help but be anxious when she saw it, and asked, "You girl, why can't you talk back?" ”
After being said, Zhen'er replied simply: "The eldest prince wants to leave the ...... with the horse."
Du's mother became more and more surprised, how could this good person make trouble and leave? So he asked Zhen'er why.
Zhen'er buried her face in her 'chest' a few times, and then talked about the cause and effect: "The eldest princess is rarely in better health and leaves the house, so the concubine invited the county lord of Tongnan and co-authored a small man to do an unsightly pickled thing. ”
"W-How is this?" Du's mother was chagrined and annoyed.
Chu Liangrao remembered Zhou's mother's words, and naturally noticed something unusual.
Considering that Zhen'er is still a girl's family, it is really difficult for her to say these things, so Chu Liangrao asked Du's mother to inquire again. Before Du's mother came back, the old lady sent someone to ask Chu Liangrao to come over and speak.
After tidying up, Chu Liangrao went out of the yard.
The old lady learned that Chu Liangrao hadn't finished her meal yet, so she instructed her subordinates to prepare some hot food and let Chu Liangrao use it first. Chu Liangrao used some and said no.
The old lady spoke to herself: "How is this good, hey. ”
"Grandmother, what's wrong?" Chu Liangrao asked obediently.
Pulling Chu Liangrao's soft little hand, the old lady said in a trembling voice: "How is this good?" Now that something like that has happened to the eldest princess Yin Hua, wouldn't it make us a laughing stock if she was asked to be the 'female' guest of Jialu? Picking up the handkerchief and dipping it in the corner of her eye, the old lady said again, "It's all grandmother's poor consideration, and it actually affected Auntie." ”
Mother Qiu hurriedly served hot tea and comforted: "The old lady doesn't need to be sad, the county lord and the eldest princess have always been 'friendly', if the county lord can come forward, he will definitely share your worries." ”
This kind of 'private' words are put on the table, and Chu Liangrao can't see the old lady's intentions, she is blind. Since he knew that he was 'friendly' with the eldest princess, it stands to reason that he should not sprinkle salt on people's wounds at this time, and at this time, the old lady had an opinion on the eldest princess and did not dare to come forward, so she acted in a play with Mother Qiu beside her in front of her.
With a sneer in her heart, Chu Liangrao's face showed a suspicious and 'confused' expression: "What's wrong with the eldest princess?" ”
The old lady who drank tea was choked and coughed loudly, and Qiu's mother hurriedly patted her on the back and turned her head to look at Qin'er.
Qin'er understood that this was to let her speak, but she couldn't help blushing when she thought of that kind of thing to make her a girl's family, but then thinking of the conditions that the old lady had agreed to before, Qin'er stepped forward and replied on her knees: "The county lord doesn't know, the eldest princess has a gap with the horse, and now she has proposed to make peace." ”
"That's ......" Chu Liangrao nodded slightly, blinked her big eyes and asked innocently, "What does that have to do with the ceremony?" ”
This time, Qin'er was asked, after all, she was just a maid, and she didn't dare to say that the eldest princess was an ominous person when she had the audacity. But Qin'er is not an ordinary maid, so she said: "The old lady is bent on giving you a decent courtesy for the county lord, but now that something has happened in the eldest princess's mansion, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take care of this side." The old lady couldn't help but nod her head appreciatively, and said to Chu Liangrao: "It is this reason, now that the eldest princess is too busy to take care of herself, where can she take care of us?" patted the back of Chu Liangrao's hand lovingly, and the old lady said, "It's not easy to find the famous 'door' of virtue and art in this Kyoto, but fortunately, there is still more than a month to prepare." Seeing that the old lady had already made up her mind to change people, the smile on Chu Liangrao's face also faded a little, and said: "Grandmother also said, now there is still time to prepare, why not ask the eldest princess what she means before making plans?" After saying that, she stood up, and Shi Shiran saluted, "There is a grandmother who bothered to plan for Ala, and Auntie felt 'excited' endlessly." Grandmother is busy, so Grandma won't delay you. ”
