Chapter 12, Controversy
Mrs. Lin was in a good mood and returned to the Lin Mansion, and everyone said that it was Mrs. Lin who took her son to ask for a marriage appearance?
If it weren't for the early weather and the rain, she would have liked to go back to the temple now to make a vow.
Lin Xijiu was practicing calligraphy with his youngest daughter Lin Zhiyi in the study when he heard Mrs. Lin's laughter in the corridor.
Lin Saijiu was a little strange, and when she entered the door, she asked, "What good thing have you encountered, are you happy to be like this?" ”
Mrs. Lin waved her hand and smiled, "You don't know, it's a great happy event." As he spoke, he pulled Lin Bozhou over on the side, "What is a good thing for you to tell your father, is it worth being happy?" ”
Lin Bozhou complained bitterly in his heart, he has always been thin-skinned, where did he say that his mother was because he fell in love with Miss Chu and wanted her to be his daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Lin couldn't say a word after seeing Lin Bozhou grinding for a long time, so she simply didn't sell it, and told the truth of the matter herself.
Lin Xijiu was silent for a while after hearing this, but Lin Zhiyi was surprised and delighted, "If you can get into the eyes of your mother, that Chu girl must be very good-looking, right?" ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Lin became energetic, "That's not it, your brother, just because of the good looks of the parents, they are stunned." I was in the car wondering how he had been dealing with something for so long. Until I met the girl, she was beautiful and polite, what a good girl......"
Listening to his mother's blowing, Lin Bozhou couldn't help but hold his forehead, and smiled helplessly, having said that, Miss Chu is really good-looking. If she is really a good girl, maybe it would be good to marry her.
Both mother and daughter were immersed in the joy of Lin Bozhou finally marrying a wife, and Lin Bozhou himself was also reminiscent of that shocking glance. Only Lin Xijiu kept sighing, his eyebrows were almost wrinkled together, and his goatee also fluctuated with his mood.
Mrs. Lin was unsatisfied, and slapped Lin Xijiu's shoulder, "You old horseman, what do you sigh about this great good thing?" How disappointing, do you want to touch my brow? ”
Lin Saijiu shouted angrily, "Madam, it's too late for me to be happy that the child has someone he likes." ”
"Dad, mother. The child didn't mean that. ”
Seeing that Lin Bozhou was about to retreat, Mrs. Lin was the first to refuse. For so many years, he didn't have a girl he liked. I'm in my twenties, and I'm still alone. finally met someone she liked, and she was so submissive and twisted, if she relied on this uncompetitive son, she wouldn't be able to hold her grandson for another twenty years, "What's not that meaning?" You really don't like that Chu girl? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone focused on Lin Bozhou.
He couldn't stand the gaze of the three of them, so he could only raise his hand in surrender, "The child still hasn't reviewed his homework, so I'll go back to the room first." After saying that, he left as if he was running away, and he tripped over the door before leaving. The three of them laughed.
"This kid." Lin Xijiu was dissatisfied with his son's frivolity, and panicked for a woman, somewhat hating iron and steel.
"Old man, what do you think of this marriage?"
Mrs. Lin is really not from the same channel as him, obviously she has only met once, and she has even thought about marriage? Even if he agreed, could that person Zhenbei Hou agree? Their family is also an important minister of the Three Dynasties, can they look down on their small family?
"Madame, I can trust your vision. It's just that this town is a nobleman after all, and I'm afraid I can't look down on Zhou'er. ”
"What does it matter, we can talk about it first, let them wait for Bozhou to get fame, and then discuss it after they have an official position."
Lin Zhiyi was puzzled, "Why do you want to say it first?" We can also wait for the eldest brother to gain fame before proposing, and then no one will say that we are clinging to the powerful, wouldn't it be better? ”
"You know what? What a good girl Renchu girl, why are you waiting for your brother's nerd? And I don't know how many people will rush to propose marriage after she and Lu, and even the daylily will be gone sooner? ”
"Then why don't you mention your relatives, isn't it more secure?"
Mrs. Lin is really anxious for her, this girl, she is all from her daughter's family, why doesn't she even understand this truth, "Your brother is fragrant, she has to be tied to our family?" In case your brother doesn't have the life to be an official, why should we delay others? ”
Lin Zhiyi and Lin Saijiu saw her defending Chu Luan like this, and they were more thoughtful than their own sons and daughters, and they both wanted to reach out to catch their eyeballs that were about to fall out.
Since she rejected Gu Yan last time, Chu Luan thought that she would only stay in the mansion before the concubine's birthday banquet, either to be a female celebrity, or to analyze the situation in the world and write a national policy.
As everyone knows, Chu Xu has not returned from the court on this day, but he sent someone to take her into the palace. And she has a hunch that it shouldn't be a good thing. Could it be that the person from before has finally been found?
Chu Luan changed into dignified clothes, combed his flowing cloud bun, and wore some simple and atmospheric hair accessories. She frowned slightly, looking cold and serious.
The carriage went all the way to the palace, during which Chu Luan didn't do anything, just sat quietly in the carriage, thinking back to the reason for the failure in the previous life, maybe she was still too anxious, she should take a closer look at the situation in Yongguo now, what if it wasn't as bad as she thought? Now that Murong Chuyao has not yet set up a crown prince, and all the kings live in the capital, such an arrangement will be chaotic sooner or later.
"Girl, get out of the car." The coachman reminded.
Chu Luan raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, trying to squeeze out a shallow smile.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw Zhaoqing walking forward with a smile, "Miss Chu, Your Majesty and the ministers are waiting for you in the Jinluan Palace." ”
Zhaoqing thought that Chu Luan would ask him something, but he wouldn't answer anyway. Who knew that Chu Luan didn't ask anything, and directly asked him to lead the way.
The appearance of this Jinluan Hall was magnificent, and Chu Luan followed Zhaoqing to turn east and west before coming to the gate of Jinluan Palace.
The attendant at the door announced loudly: "Miss Chu has arrived-"
Passed down layer by layer, the entire hall seemed to have an echo. When the ministers heard the commotion, they all looked back, and a few of them stood at the end and talked in low voices.
Then, the voice came back layer by layer, "Xuan-"
After receiving the order, Zhaoqing saluted Chu Luan, "Miss Chu, please." "There are more than 100 people in the Jinluan Palace.
It seems that Yongguo still has a serious problem - redundant officials, and people wearing green official uniforms account for the majority, and the emperor now values the nobles and nobles, giving them high-ranking officials, and those children of the poor family can only hold some small positions.
Chu Luan walked to the center of the main hall, did not squint, and knelt down and saluted without being humble or arrogant, "The courtier Chu Luan has seen the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
When the emperor saw Chu Luan's etiquette, he didn't make it difficult for her and let her be even.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Only then was Chu Luan able to get up, and quietly raised his eyes to see the emperor's appearance, which was the same age as Chu Xu, his eyes were unfathomable, and he had a domineering aura. The face polished by the years can still be vaguely recognizable as the heroic posture of the past.
"Do you know why I came to you at this time?"
"The courtiers are stupid, and they don't know where to displease Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins." Lower your posture and take the initiative to make mistakes.
Sure enough, the emperor was very satisfied, "Jing Zhaoyin sued you for murdering his son in the court today, but is there such a thing?" ”
Sure enough, but since the other party dared to make such a big fuss, Chu Luan never thought of it, and it seemed that he came prepared. For today's plan, we can only take one step and see a hundred steps.
"Back to Your Majesty, Chu Luan is indeed with Wu ...... Childe was a little unhappy, but Chu Luan only gave a slight punishment, where can we talk about murder. ”
"Your Majesty, she lied!" Wu Yong, who was standing next to Jing Zhaoyin, retorted that last time Chu Luan threw him into the river to soak for a day, he didn't hit him, but who knew that this person had a few more bruises on his face inexplicably. Who is this trying to deceive? If Yu Nu knew, he would definitely laugh at him for not knowing whether he was alive or dead, Chu Luan was a famous scoundrel and insidious back then.
"Presumptuous!" Murong Chuyao shouted loudly, "Above the court, how can you be allowed to make noise?" Since the two of you have different confessions, Chu Luan, you can tell me in detail what happened that day. ”
"That day, the courtiers were just going out to buy, but they accidentally bumped into Wu Gongzi bullying two women, and forcibly dragged the woman who sold herself to bury her father home. The courtiers argued with him, but his words were lighter than mine, and after others stated, I learned that this person often bullied men and women, and he was uneven for a while, and he was punished with a small punishment. ”
"So, you've done a good thing."
"Your Majesty, how can you listen to her?" Kyung retorted.
When the emperor heard this, he was not too partial to Chu Luan, "That is the case, then Wu will also tell you what you know." ”
Wu Yong sold miserably with a bruise on his face, "Your Majesty, there were no two women at all, only a woman who sold herself to bury her father, and saw that the woman had a poor background, and wanted to spend money to buy her to work in the house, who knew that Miss Chu had to take the girl back to do hard labor, I argued with her, and she connived at her subordinates to knock me unconscious, and also punched and kicked me, please Your Majesty to investigate." ”
"Chu Luan, what do you say?"
"Your Majesty, there is no reason for a courtier to bring a person she doesn't know home to do hard labor, and there were indeed two people at that time, one of them was Ruan Er's girl from the Guogong Mansion."
"How is there no reason? When you killed your own mother, and when you saw that woman lost her father, you naturally wanted to keep her by your side and tell everyone that you were not a disaster. Besides, Miss Ruan Er didn't leave the house at all that day, so if you wronged me, why are you still involved in Miss Ruan? Wu bit back with a bite to find Chu Luan's sore spot.
If it weren't for the wrong timing and place, Chu Luan would have done it directly, and he could only lie in bed for the rest of his life.
"It's strange that one says there are two people and the other says there is only one person. Ruan Qing, what do you think? ”
Chang Yibo exchanged glances with Chu Xu opposite, sighed and stood up to reply, "Your Majesty, the little nephew did stay in the mansion all day that day. ”
Chu Luan understood what was going on when he heard this, it seemed that someone deliberately wanted to protect Ruan Qianyan, and no matter what happened, it was impossible to involve her. And the only people who know about this matter will do this are the Guogong Mansion and the Zhenbei Houfu. However, the Guogong Mansion does not have this strength, so there is only ......
Chu Luan's eyes looking at Chu Xu were complicated and incomprehensible.
