18 Chapter 18
After staying up all night, the emperor and the hundred officials washed up and rushed to the court.
I thought of taking out the set that I had discussed "amicably" in the imperial study yesterday, and flickering and guiding Chu Wu and the system to take them to dig up treasures, and it was not in vain that so many foaming stars were wasted by the war group.
Unexpectedly, Chu Wu asked for leave again.
Emperor: "......"
Baiguan: "......"
Look at yourself, and then look at other people, and confirm that the dark circles under your eyes are all because of the night you stay up eating melons.
No matter how fierce the night is, you have to go to the early court.
The Emperor resisted the urge to yawn and listened to the courtiers below him play as usual.
In the past, he annoyed his courtiers and sprayed people when they disagreed, and he would beat people when he was short-tempered, always thinking that one day everyone would be able to talk calmly.
Today, all the courtiers are not energetic because they stay up late, and the tone of their voices is much weaker, and he thinks that the courtiers are very noisy, at least it won't sound like hypnosis, which makes him almost fall asleep.
Soon, the emperor was no longer sleepy.
Jinyiwei asked Chen Jiu to pass on a sentence: "Your Majesty, the old lady Chu came back with Chu Shu, and Miss Chu had to pick up people at the door of the house, so she asked for leave and didn't go to court." ”
Emperor:?
His first reaction was: Who is Mrs. Chu? Is it more important than the imperial court and the treasury?
then realized that this person was Chu Wu's unreasonable grandmother who had a heart that was biased towards heaven, and Chu Shu ...... Judging from the ranking of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, it should be Chu Wu's sister-in-law.
The emperor has a high impression of Chu Shu, so naturally he has no good impression of the old lady Chu who treats Chu Shu harshly, and even has a bad first impression of Chu Shu: let the concubine specially greet the concubine at the door of the house, and the family style of the Chu family is really "positive".
Soon, the emperor realized that something was wrong: "With Chu Wu's unwilling temperament, how could she obediently run to the door to greet her?" ”
Chen Jiu was stunned, indeed, Miss Chu's stinginess and grudges were exactly the same as the emperor's, and it was impossible to be obedient.
The emperor realized that there was a melon in it, and immediately came to the heart: "Go and ask!" ”
Chen Jiu ran to Jinyiwei to pass the word, it's good to have melons, he loves to eat melons!
The hundred officials below looked at the small movements of the emperor and Chen Jiu, and intuitively felt that there was something in it, but it was difficult to determine what it was, and they kept guessing.
Could it be that Jin Yiwei found out which official was greedy again and was ready to raid his house to fill the treasury?
Tobe Squire, who was short of money and had a headache, was excited.
Could it be that Jin Yiwei found out which official was a prostitute, and he wanted to go to the end?
The son-in-law's criminal department of the prostitute is still divergent in thinking.
Maybe it's Chu Wu who has a new melon?
Most officials are more inclined to this.
After all, the emperor was in the same state as them when he first went to court, and he couldn't wait to end the court as soon as possible so that he could go back to rest, and now he was as excited as an excited melon who was about to eat a melon.
Chu family, a thousand paintings.
Chu Wu lay comfortably on the chaise longue, enjoying Qingzhu's waist rubbing and leg beating service, while looking at the new script borrowed from Wen's.
Seeing that the time for Mrs. Chu to let people be notified in advance was approaching, Hongmei was a little anxious: "Miss, it's too late." ”
"What's too late?" Chu Wu turned the page and watched it with relish.
Hongmei: "Didn't the old lady ask the young lady to pick her up at the door?" ”
Chu Wu didn't raise her head: "Qingzhu." ”
Qingzhu never stopped rubbing her waist, and explained in the most straightforward language: "Hongmei, Miss and the old lady are the relationship between the east wind and the west wind, the old lady and her beloved aunt, the concubine and the aunt have to rely on the lady and the lady for their daily food and clothing, and she can only embarrass Miss in this kind of trivial matter." ”
Red Plum: ???
Small head, big question mark.
Although she has only been in the house for two months, she doesn't know much about what happened to the young lady and the old lady in the past, but in terms of ethics and filial piety, which young lady is not careful to serve and honor her grandmother, or does she have to overwhelm the west wind of her grandmother?
Is this ...... Not quite normal?
Knowing what she was wondering about, Qingzhu began to make a big move: "The old lady indiscriminately decided that the young lady stole other people's things, blindly favored the aunt and the two children she born, forced the young lady to kneel in the ancestral hall in the cold winter, forced the lady to take money to make amends, and tried to let the lady use the dowry to subsidize the aunt's room, and let the young lady divide the shop prepared for the eldest young master into half of the second young master......"
Red Plum: ???
Red Plum: !!
The hesitation and hesitation on the little girl's face disappeared completely, and she was so angry that her whole face was red, and her fists were clenched tightly: "Just such a shameless old pious woman, Miss must not give her face!" ”
Chu Wu looked up in surprise: "Where did you learn to swear?" ”
"I heard it on the street." Hongmei thought that she was scolding too dirty, but Chu Wu didn't like it, so she hurriedly said, "I won't scold in the future." ”
Chu Wan: "My relationship with her is like this, it is impossible to ease, and she has nothing to do with me, but we will still maintain the superficial peace, because my father and my brother are both officials, and we can't let the Chu family have a bad reputation, this is the truth that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized." ”
"Hongmei, you are the person next to me, you can scold whatever you want in your heart, keep your mouth closed, and you can't reveal it in your actions, otherwise one day you will come out of your mouth and provoke someone I can't afford to offend, I can't protect you, understand?"
Hongmei nodded heavily: "Miss, I remembered, I will change it." ”
Chu Wan nodded with satisfaction and continued to read the script.
Some people are light and indifferent on the surface, and they don't care about the appearance of the old lady Chu, but in fact, they poke the system wildly in their hearts: [Tong'er, help me keep an eye on the old lady, in case something goes wrong with the anger, I will let someone go to the doctor as soon as possible. 】
System: [What about the east wind overpowering the west wind?] Why do you care so much about her? 】
Chu Wan: [Don't think nonsense. If she is really sick, she will have a reason to toss my mother, and she can pretend to be sick there and ask my mother to serve, ask my mother to spend money on supplements, sell the supplements, and then subsidize the money from the sale to that room. 】
The system was taken aback: [How can it be biased like this? Aren't they all daughters-in-law? 】
People from the Chu family: "......"
Jin Yiwei: "......"
It's not that I've never seen an eccentric old lady, but it's the first time I've seen eccentricity like this.
Chu Wan: [The old lady looks down on my mother's business background, deliberately disgusts her and suppresses her, and wants to pinch her, otherwise a normal mother-in-law will have to give her a small one during her son's honeymoon when her son has just married her daughter-in-law for two months? 】
Over the years, the maidservants of the Chu family have been replaced continuously, and many people do not know what happened more than 20 years ago.
Hearing what Lady Chu said, everyone suddenly realized: It turns out that Mrs. Chu has done such a disgusting thing.
System: [Huh? I checked, your father is the aunt of Na half a year after the wedding. 】
Chu Wan: [Less than two months after the wedding, the old lady mentioned it to my father, but my father refused. Half a year later, the old lady wanted to lift my aunt on the grounds that my mother was not pregnant, and my father agreed. 】
What's the funniest part? After my aunt entered the door, her stomach didn't move for a long time, but my mother was pregnant first, and she became a man in one fell swoop, but the old lady's face was swollen. 】
System: [Hahaha!] Refreshing! 】
Everyone quietly applauded: It's really cool!
Chu Wu continued: [The old lady is stubborn at a young age, she doesn't believe that the child depends on fate, she insists on manpower to interfere, and takes her aunt to see the doctor for ten days and a half months, enters the temple when she sees it, worships when she sees the temple, and all kinds of Guanyin who sends her son to Guanyin is set up in a room, and she drinks a lot of strange runic water potions, and she has been tossing for three years! 】
[I also admire my aunt, and the physical and psychological torture has persevered. Three years later, the aunt was pregnant, and the old lady was so happy that she wanted to celebrate with a feast. The main room is not so arrogant when she is pregnant, her father and grandfather do not agree, and the old lady is angry and plans to spend her own money to get it, and guess what? 】
System: [What's the matter?] 】
Everyone: What's the matter?
Chu Wan: [The old lady took out the private money, looked at it twice and stuffed it back, obviously reluctant, but she had to save money and wait for the child to have a big one in the full moon. Later, Chu Qi was born, full moon, and one year old, and he was so old, and he never held a decent celebration banquet. The latest news, the old lady is ready to wait for Chu Qike to win the lift. 】
The system laughed, and then asked: [You are seven years younger than your eldest brother and four years younger than Chu Qi, how do you know what happened back then so clearly? 】
Even Wen didn't know about these past events, and his purse was no longer embroidered, and he was listening attentively.
Chu Wu didn't care: [What's so difficult about this? 】
[The old lady's life is tight, and the people around her will naturally not be rich. One year, her bride-in-law often went out of the house and came back with a sad face on her medicine, and when I heard that her grandson was seriously ill, I gave her a sum of money, and even knew that the old lady was still wetting the bed at the age of seven. 】
Wen: "......"
Others: "......"
Jin Yiwei recorded a hand, and he still wets the bed at the age of seven? Tsk tsk.
Before a cup of tea, a Qingpeng carriage stopped at the gate of the Chu family.
A slender white hand lifted the curtain and said softly, "Grandmother, we have arrived." ”
"Where's Chu?"
"My sister may be in a hurry, not here. Grandmother, Shu'er is with you. ”
The silver-haired old lady snorted coldly, becoming more and more dissatisfied, got off the carriage with Chu Shu's support, and as soon as she entered the gate of the Chu family, she immediately rushed to Qianhuaju angrily.
She knew that the dead girl wouldn't be waiting at the door!
It's just that there seems to be something going on at home, there are fewer people on the other side of the gate, and the closer you get to Chu Wu's Thousand Painting Residence, the more people there are here.
Those who sweep the fallen leaves, those who prune the branches, and those who come here with embroidery sheds.
What's the situation?
Old Lady Chu didn't know why, and continued to move forward.
At this moment, she heard Chu Wu's voice: [...... The old lady was seven years old and still wetting the bed. 】
Mrs. Chu: ???
Mrs. Chu: !!
