168 Subject to filial piety
Chu Liangrao just laughed and didn't follow suit.
Qiu's mother was bored with herself, glanced at the old lady in a wry manner, and saw that she didn't care, so she buried her head to hide the emotions in her eyes.
After sitting on the old lady's side for a cup of tea, Chu Liangrao went back to her yard, and Zhou's mother, who went out to inquire about the news, also came back and went into the house to talk back to Chu Liangrao.
This time, Zhou's mother did not say the progress of the store for the first time, but told Chu Liangrao with a serious face that there were bad rumors outside.
Although she just said it, Chu Liangrao guessed the reason, sighed lightly, and said, "But someone accuses me of being unfilial? ”
Mother Zhou nodded stiffly and said, "I don't know where these words came from, the princess has such an illness, and the county lord is not strong even if he has the heart." If these people can't figure it out, they will talk nonsense, which is not good for the county lord, and the county lord should 'hand' it over to the prince to deal with. ”
Chu Liangrao shook her head a few times and said, "These people are right, the mother is sick, no matter what, the 'daughter' should 'serve' the illness." ”
"County Lord!" Mother Zhou's face was anxious, "County Lord, you are going to get married, if you are infected with anything, then how can you get it?" ”
"That's why I have to take care of my mother even more." Chu Liangrao said resolutely.
Mother Zhou was even more anxious, and hurriedly persuaded: "Think twice, the county lord, there is nothing more important than the county lord's body." ”
"Mom, my health is important, but I can't afford to be charged with unfilial piety." Chu Liangrao said seriously, "Besides, my mother has been sick for so long, and the maids around her are fine, so it can be seen that this is not an infectious disease." ”
"But Imperial Doctor Zhong ......," Mother Zhong said with concern, "The county lord is dignified, where can he be an unfilial person." ”
"If you know me, you will understand me, my mother said this, because my mother understands my personality, but people are terrible, outsiders don't know, they will only rely on speculation, and in the end it will be contrary to the facts, and some people will believe it."
Mother Zhou understood this truth, but she was still worried, looking at Chu Liangrao's made up her mind, she persuaded again: "The matter is big, the county lord should discuss it with the prince." ”
"It's natural." Chu Liangrao nodded in agreement and got up to change her clothes.
Now that Chu Chaoyang is at home every day, it is not difficult to see each other, and after changing her clothes, Chu Liangrao went to the study, but she only saw Ding Er there.
After making a big salute, Ding Er said to Chu Liangrao: "County Lord, are you looking for the prince?" The prince just went out, what might as well let the villain pass the message on his behalf? ”
"It's not a big deal." Chu Liangrao said, "Daddy, where did he go?" ”
Ding Er replied honestly: "The prince went to the palace of Imperial Doctor Zhong. ”
With this letter, Chu Liangrao became more and more firm, and Gu's illness was definitely not a heavenly 'flower', but she never expected Chu Chaoyang to do such a thing, and he did it for himself. For a while, Chu Liangrao's heart was very uncomfortable, and her eyebrows were a little more melancholy.
Seeing that Chu Liangrao's expression was different, Ding Er asked, "County Lord?" Are you in a hurry? ”
Chu Liangrao shook her head and said, "When my mother was sick for a long time, I wanted to visit, so I came to inform my father." ”
Noticing that Chu Liangrao used to inform rather than discuss, Zhou's mother hurriedly winked at Ding Er, hoping that this person who could speak well on weekdays could help persuade Chu Liangrao.
With surprise on his face, Ding Er said: "County Lord, the princess needs to recuperate now, but I'm afraid it is not appropriate to visit." ”
"My mother is sick, but I can't serve the soup and medicine in front of the bed, I am really ashamed." Chu Liangrao said solemnly, "I have made up my mind, so I don't need to persuade anymore." ”
Ding Er came up with a compromise and asked, "Why don't you wait for the imperial doctor to see it, and then the county lord will visit?" ”
Chu Liangrao was speechless for a while, according to Imperial Doctor Zhong's methods, where would it be easy to be seen. But if Gu's day is not good, he can't be leisurely for a day.
Unexpectedly, in the end, he was still pitted by the Gu family.
The Gu family has always used filial piety to detain Chu Liangrao, and this trick has been used several times, but it has always been effective.
Chu Liangrao was very helpless about this, and she had been restrained by an inadequate filial piety, which really made her unhappy.
But the Gu family still achieved her goal, now she is the one who is going to get married, and this reputation is not just her business, but the business of two families. Nowadays, filial piety is greater than the sky, if she really has a reputation for unfilial piety, then she will be pointed out by thousands of husbands even if she is a princess.
Looking at Ding Er and Zhou's mother, Chu Liangrao suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and said, "When my father comes back, you can convey it to him." After that, he led Zhou's mother back to her room.
Mother Du, who knew afterwards, was anxious to become an ant on a hot pot, looking at Chu Liangrao, tears welled up in her eyes: "Good and decent, how could someone spread that kind of words, isn't this Chengxin and the county lord unhappy?" ”
"Mom, don't worry, it's going to be fine."
"How can you not worry, the princess is sick like that, even Imperial Doctor Zhong is seriously ill, and she hasn't gotten better for a few days." Mother Du wiped her eyes and said, "County Lord, you are still young, if you are sick, how can you get it?" ”
When the maids on the side heard this, they nodded their heads and persuaded Chu Liangrao in a few words.
Chu Liangrao knew in her heart that Gu's was not an infectious disease, but she couldn't explain it to these maids, looking at their anxious appearance, for the first time she felt that her head was empty and she couldn't say anything.
"County Lord, just listen to your mother." Du's mother said, "Letting my mother take care of the princess instead of you, isn't that different from the county lord's 'bed' in front of the 'serving' disease?" ”
Chu Liangrao sighed and said, "Mom, how can this be the same? ”
"No matter what, it's the county lord's heart, if the princess is well, the county lord will be fine." Du's mother said, "You let your mother go, at my mother's age, even if she is sick, it is nothing." ”
"County lord, let's go as a slave." Ding Lan stood up and said, "Mom is the person you can't live without the county lord, and Sister Lilac is too, but the slave maid is clumsy and often causes trouble to the county lord, this time, let the slave maid make up for it!" ”
Looking at Ding Lan, Chu Liangrao appreciated it in her heart, but she still refused directly: "Ding Lan doesn't need to be presumptuous, it is commendable that you have this intention." Looking around, Chu Liangrao said, "You don't have to say anything, if you want to go, let's go together." ”
"County Lord!" A few maids stepped forward in a hurry.
Raising his hand to stop their words, Chu Liangrao said: "If you are afraid, you can bring it up now, then you don't have to take care of your mother with me." ”
For a while, there was silence in the room, and after a while, Lilac stood up and said, "County master, the slave wants to stay in the mansion." ”
"Lilacs! You! Mother Du's eyes were round, and she was furious, "How does the county lord treat you, do you still use my mother to say, you are greedy and afraid of death now, if it weren't for the county lord, how could you still be today!" ”
Lilac lowered her head and did not explain.
But Chu Liangrao guessed Lilac's intentions, and she did this just to take the overall situation into account. After all, the store is still under renovation at the moment, except for Zhou's mother, several maids don't know. In addition, this matter cannot be easily entrusted to others, so Lilac will make this request. In addition, because of the confidentiality of this matter, she had to remain silent in the face of Du's mother's questioning.
Looking at Lilac, Chu Liangrao said: "Lilac and Mother Zhou stay, and the rest of the people will go with me, no problem, right?" ”
"County Lord, Mom is going too!" Zhou's mother was unwilling to be a hindsight and said, "Mom is not afraid of death. ”
Looking at the impulsive Mother Zhou, Chu Liangrao shook her head slightly and said, "There are many places in this house where you can use your mother, so your mother should stay." ”
was hinted at by Chu Liangrao, Zhou's mother came back to her senses and buried her head and said, "Yes." ”
Seeing that Zhou's mother came down, Du's mother was angry and said, "County Lord, no matter where you go, your mother will accompany you!" ”
Chu Liangrao looked at a few people's hearts, but she was powerless for a while, if you want to repair this relationship, then you have to sacrifice that secret, but the time is not ripe yet, so Chu Liangrao has to be silent.
The remaining three maids also expressed their determination, and each of them regarded death as home.
Seeing that they all had the heart of death, Chu Liangrao said: "Don't think about things so badly, think about it, if your mother's illness is really contagious, how can the people who serve her be okay?" ”
Mother Du didn't think deeply, but said: "Those subordinates have rough skin and thick 'meat', and they can't be compared with you, the county lord." ”
"Mom, just believe me once, this time it will be fine." Chu Liangrao said with conviction.
Looking at Chu Liangrao's expression, Mother Du couldn't help but feel helpless, so she nodded and said weakly: "Mom believes in the county lord, with the blessing of the first princess, you will definitely be fine." ”
As she was talking, the old lady's room also sent someone over to question, and when she learned that Chu Liangrao had made up her mind, Qiu's mother and Shu'er both had a change in complexion. Shu'er persuaded a few words out of sincerity to no avail, so she had to give Qiu's mother a 'look'.
Qiu's mother didn't see it, but only flattered: "The county lord is really filial, if God has eyes, he will definitely make the princess recover." ”
I didn't expect Qiu's mother to say such a thing, Shu'er clenched her hands uncomfortably, and her head was buried a little.
Putting the two of them in their eyes, Chu Liangrao said with a smile: "What Mother Qiu said is that you have to run on such a day, it's really hard for you." As he spoke, he asked Du's mother to take two purses for them as a reward.
Qiu's mother accepted the red envelope and said some auspicious words, and then took the book back.
Seeing that the people were gone, Mother Du also withdrew the maid and said to Chu Liangrao alone: "How could the old lady let Mother Qiu say such a thing, didn't this push you into the fire pit, the county lord?" "Mom......" Chu Liangrao couldn't help but hold her forehead and said, "Didn't you already say that everyone would go together, with you there, where would it be a fire pit?" Du's mother knew that she was speechless, and her face was embarrassed: "Mom said the wrong thing when she was in a hurry, but the county lord, you should think about this matter again." ”
