202 Mockery and Irony
?
Getting up, Gu Shi saluted the old lady with a solemn face and said: "Mother rest assured, the daughter-in-law is not a person without eyesight, not to mention that the daughter-in-law has always treated Auntie as her own, so she will not treat her badly." β
This was a high-sounding statement, but the old lady didn't believe it at all, so she only nodded perfunctorily, thinking that if something happened, she would have to come forward, and it would be better to expect Gu Shi to not toss anything, than to expect her to be alone.
The two of them sat with their own thoughts, and the tea in their hands couldn't taste it, and the atmosphere became awkward for a while.
Fortunately, Chu Liangrao didn't let them wait longer, and in the voice of the subordinates, Chu Liangrao and Huo Tainan walked in behind Chu Chaoyang. The old lady almost stood up in excitement, and shouted, "My good grandson, you are back, come and let your grandmother see." β
Chu Liangrao's heart warmed, but she didn't forget the rules because of the old lady's enthusiasm, and saluted in turn, Chu Liangrao walked up to the old lady and said softly: "Grandmother, Auntie is back." β
Reaching out to pull Chu Liangrao's wrist, the old lady nodded again and again: "Okay, good." β
Huo Tainan, who was ignored, did not feel embarrassed, he sat down generously under Chu Chaoyang's signal, his eyes fell on Chu Liangrao gently, and the spoiling in his eyes that could not be dissolved was seen by the discerning people present.
Hush Han asked warmly, and the old lady talked to Huo Tainan at this time.
Huo Tainan cheered up and replied respectfully.
Seeing that he spoke appropriately and behaved generously, the old lady was even more satisfied.
Because the old lady was asking, Gu couldn't interject, so he had to sit without smiling, and laughed a few words in a harmonious laughter from time to time.
Although Chu Liangrao didn't look at Gu's family, she also felt Gu's discomfort, and couldn't help but worry in her heart, this stepmother has always been unreliable, and she won't seize the opportunity to make things difficult for Huo Tainan today, right? But after thinking about it, what about making it difficult, anyway, I am on Huo Tainan's side, but I am a little wronged on my face, and they are self-conscious on weekdays, and there will be no more intersections nAd1 (
As if seeing Chu Liangrao's worries, Huo Tainan smiled at Chu Liangrao with relief.
Chu Liangrao smiled back, her eyes rippling like waves.
Taking the small interaction between the two into her eyes, the old lady smiled and quipped: "You little couple, do you still want to be affectionate when you sit face to face like this?" β
"How can there be ......" Chu Liangrao lowered her head embarrassedly.
"I'm still shy." The old lady laughed.
Gu Shi saw the opportunity to interject: "Mother, isn't this a newlywed Yan'er, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of affection." β
Hearing this, the old lady frowned.
Chu Liangrao didn't know that the Gu family was saying that they were not fresh, so she smiled and said, "Let my mother laugh." β
Huo Tainan, on the other hand, withdrew his gaze and became honest.
Seeing that Chu Liangrao didn't talk back, Gu wanted to say more, but he still endured it, and asked about Chu Liangrao's life like an elder. Chu Liangrao succinctly said that she was doing well, but Gu Shi said with a worried look: "You kid don't say anything in your heart, you are the most picky on weekdays, where can you eat well over there?" β
These words were said to be picky on the surface, but secretly sarcastic Huo Tainan was shabby, if it weren't for Gu's expression in place, the old lady really couldn't help but shoot the case. But she just said in a deep voice: "What did my daughter-in-law say, I watched Auntie grow up, why didn't I know that Auntie would pick her mouth?" β
Huo Tainan arched his hand and replied: "Let my mother worry a lot, the lady's appetite is not bad." β
Gu, who was directly refuted, pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a not very good-looking smile, and was about to say something, when Chu Chaoyang, who had been listening, opened his mouth and said: "Auntie is rarely back, if you want to eat, just tell the cook to do it." β
The concern in these words was in stark contrast to Gu's words, and Chu Liangrao responded: "My daughter will definitely not be polite nAd2 ("
Chu Chaoyang shook his head with a smile and didn't say anything.
And Chu Liangrao, who was the protagonist this time, didn't say much, and the old lady and Huo Tainan talked, she sat aside and listened with a smile, and was impressed by Huo Tainan's witty words. The old lady also laughed a lot, and the unhappiness caused by Gu's episode had long since disappeared.
After talking for a while, Chu Liangrao went to the ancestral hall with Huo Tainan to worship.
Facing the tablet of Chu Liangrao's biological mother Yu, Huo Tainan solemnly knelt down, and his respect was self-evident.
Chu Liangrao's heart was moved, she reached out and held Huo Tainan's hand, and Huo Tainan also held her hand, the warm current in the hearts of the two people was transmitted in the palms, and a feeling permeated between the two, like a layer of pink incense mist.
Looking at each other, Chu Liangrao and Huo Tainan let go of their hands tacitly, and put on incense together, which can be regarded as a ceremony.
The next thing is the meal, this meal is not not sumptuous, the old lady also put a lot of thought into receiving Chu Liangrao and Huo Tainan, a table full of dishes almost covers the sea, land and air, although this pomp is not as good as the full banquet of the Manchu and Han Dynasty, but it still shocked Chu Liangrao.
This table of dishes, just a few of them, I'm afraid that it will be a problem to be able to use up one-tenth of it.
Chu Liangrao regretted the waste in her heart, but she still had a big appetite for face, and Huo Tainan was also very face-saving, and he would let people pick up the dishes that the old lady said tasted good.
The more the old lady looked at this grandson-in-law, the more satisfied she became, and the consequence was that Huo Tainan ate a lot of this meal.
Chu Liangrao looked distressed, and turned her head and told Zhu'er to cook a cup of barley tea for Huo Tainan to eat.
After lunch, it stands to reason that Chu Liangrao should go back, but the old lady was reluctant to let her granddaughter leave so early, so she left them to talk nAd3 (until the old lady couldn't stand it and showed a tired look, Chu Liangrao said goodbye.
Coming out of the old lady's room, Chu Liangrao and Huo Tainan said goodbye to Chu Chaoyang again, as for the Gu family who took a "lunch break", they couldn't see each other, so they had to leave a letter for their subordinates at the door and go home.
Hearing that Chu Liangrao was leaving, Gu sat up from the bed.
Mother Lin said: "Princess, in fact, it is okay to meet. β
Glancing at Mother Lin, Gu Shi said, "Are you hiding from her?" β
"Where?" Saying this, Mother Lin thought in her heart, isn't that the case?
Gu Shi would not admit such a humiliating thing, and only explained far-fetchedly: "There is nothing wrong with this, how can she ever treat me as a mother, if Ah Rao behaves inappropriately, it will only make people look down on her." β
Mother Lin hurriedly praised the venue: "It's still the princess who thinks thoughtfully." β
Gu nodded and said, "After all, I am an elder, and I can't think about it for a long time," she said, she frowned, and said in disgust, "Mom can see it today, and the eyes of the horse master have never left Ah Rao's body." β
"Isn't it, even the old slave feels pimple when he sees it." Mother Lin said.
"Hey, young people are like this, everything is fresh, but what about the long days?" Gu shook his head and said, "I really don't know what the prince thinks, I can't stand it as a mother if I pick such a frivolous son-in-law." β
It was about the prince, and Mother Lin didn't dare to say more, so she only said, "The princess is bothered." β
"Why don't I bother with it, it's not like you haven't seen it, I just care about her two sentences of warmth and clothing and was told by my mother, this house is really getting less and less serious." Gu said unhappily.
Mother Lin said flatteringly: "There will never be such a thing, why should the princess be as knowledgeable as the old lady, she doesn't go out of the door on weekdays, where do you know what big rules?" β
Hearing this, Gu Shi looked at Mother Lin with disgust and said, "What did Mom say, Mother is from a famous family, who knows if she doesn't know the rules?" β
Where didn't Mother Lin know that Gu's was ironic? said with a smile: "What the princess taught me is that the old slave has exceeded the rules. β
"But my mother's behavior is inappropriate." Gu Shi sighed and said, "She has always valued face, but don't fold the face of the palace in her own hands!" β
Mother Lin couldn't understand this, could it be that the princess wanted to do something to the old lady?
Over the years, the Gu family has done a lot of things against the old lady, but they all ended up in nothing, and now the old lady has not only taken over her stewardship, but also targeted her everywhere, no wonder the princess hates the old lady so much.
It's just that this time what will you do to make yourself do something unseemly?
Mother Lin was a little impatient in her heart, with her understanding of the princess, the princess was a person who made people do things and had to make adults do it willingly, it seems that this time she has to worry about it again.
But in the end, it is an elderly person, and Mother Lin also wants to live a good life for two days, so how can she be scared for three days? For a while, Mother Lin's heart was a little wavering, and she didn't review her words.
Seeing that Mother Lin was actually dumbfounded, Gu Shi guessed her emotions and said with a smile: "Why doesn't Mom speak?" β
Mother Lin lowered her face and said, "Princess, the old lady has been housekeeper for some days, what is the account in this house?" β
"If there is any income, it is nothing more than eating the old book." Gu said, "Right now, Steward Qu is not in charge of the account books, and it is really not easy to check the accounts, hey." β
Dare to put the idea on the account book, this is simple, Mother Lin answered: "Princess, although the manager of Qu doesn't care about the accounts, the manager of the accounts may not listen to the princess." β
"Mom's words are so naΓ―ve, in this house, the most unreliable thing is the human heart." With emotion, Gu Shi said, "I heard that my mother will not avoid Mother Qiu in everything, is this true or false?" β
Mother Lin was stunned for a moment and said, "This matter is unheard of by the old slave, why don't the old slave go and inquire?" "Hmm." Gu Shi nodded, waved his hand, and said, "You go, if you find out anything, you don't have to reply to me, you can make up your own mind." This is clearly knowing the reason why she said this, Mother Lin couldn't help but be depressed, but she still retreated.
