Chapter 12: The Stars
Chu Mingzhao was full of fire when he heard the word "crazy" now, and when he saw that this little girl was plainly dressed, he thought she was a maid, and said unhappily: "Where is the girl, so ignorant of the rules." ”
In addition to the housekeeper who accompanied him into the inner courtyard, there was also a dignified and quiet mother-in-law wearing a navy blue jacket skirt, she looked at Meng Yan's eyes shining, and she had already recognized her as the thirteenth lady who had been grounded in the courtyard since she was born, and she didn't understand how she "happened" to meet the city lord through the entire backyard. However, in addition to the guards, there are also secret guards in the City Lord's Mansion, and being able to let her come here shows that she is not dangerous.
She bent down slightly and said, "My lord, this is Miss Thirteen." ”
Chu Mingzhao couldn't react a little, "Who?"
He was busy with the affairs of the city and rarely went into the backyard, so he was naturally not very familiar with his daughters. But everyone who has met them can recognize it, but they have never seen the girl in front of them.
The mother-in-law continued: "Miss Thirteen is the daughter of Mrs. Meng, she is nine years old this year, but she has been weak since she was a child, and she has been recuperating in the courtyard. ”
When Chu Mingzhao heard that Meng Yan was nine years old, he immediately frowned, if he didn't say it, he thought that this daughter was only five or six years old.
Meng Yan looked at the cheap father.
He looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, his eyebrows were like knives, his eyes were like shooting stars, and he was wearing a black wide-sleeved Taoist robe embroidered with gold patterns, and he seemed to glow in the sun, which was intimidating, and the housekeeper and mother-in-law bowed slightly to show respect.
This is the mighty monk, she looks foolish.
Seeing that the youngest daughter was not like other daughters, seeing herself like a mouse seeing a cat, and her eyes showed adoration and yearning, Chu Mingzhao was greatly surprised, thinking to himself Could this be the nature of father and daughter?
Meng Yan shook her head, looking a little apprehensive and expectant, and said, "There is no name, my mother said to let my father take the name, are you my father?"
Chu Mingzhao looked at her eyes as bright as stars, thought of Meng Ying, his heart suddenly softened, and nodded, "I'm your father." ”
When Meng Ying was pregnant, he felt that he was in retreat, and when he came out, Meng Ying had been dead for three years, and there were many affairs in the city at that time, so he put this matter aside.
He looked at his youngest daughter's eyes and said, "Fanxing, your name is Chu Fanxing." ”
Meng Yan tilted her head to think about it, smiled sweetly, and said shyly: "Thank you, Daddy, my daughter likes this name so much." ”
Anyway, no one cared when she was Meng Yan, it didn't matter what it was called, Chu Fanxing was also very good.
Chu Mingzhao's eyes fell on the blood stains on her clothes, and said, "What's going on?"
Fanxing seemed to have just remembered something terrible, her little face instantly turned white, and said, "Daddy, Sister Nine is crazy!" Pointing to the scar on her forehead that has not completely disappeared, "Yesterday she pushed me and hit the corner of the table and bled a lot of blood, and today she hit me again, I was scared and avoided it, and her hand slapped on my scissors." "She is not afraid of being exposed to lies at all. Chu Jiu usually treats her, just ask about it, who would doubt that the timid and cowardly Miss Thirteen has the courage to hurt people?
Chu Mingzhao's face was very ugly, he looked at the mother-in-law, and said, "Concubine Zhuang, this is the result of your management of the back house?"
There are two housekeepers in the inner courtyard and outer courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, the outer housekeeper is surnamed Zhao, and the inner housekeeper is surnamed Zhuang, it seems that these are the two people in front of him.
Of course, Fanxing didn't want to grudge with them, so he hurriedly said: "Don't blame my mother-in-law, because I am not in good health and have to recuperate, so there is only one servant girl, but today she has not come back, and no one protects me." ”
Chu Mingzhao already knew about the city lord's wife who had been killing in the past two days, and he came to settle accounts with her.
So he waved his hand and said, "You go back first, and Concubine Zhuang will take your maidservant back later......"
The stars are breaking through, so go back like this, how could the city lord's wife let her go tonight. Thanks to the original owner's petite and weak body, she got on the last train of the cute child, and she said timidly with her eyes watery: "Daddy, I'm afraid!"
Chu Mingzhao was stunned when he heard this, and then slapped his forehead.
He was a monk, and he was already numb to blood and light, but he forgot that Fanxing was just a little doll, and he probably felt that it was very serious to scratch his sister's hand. When he swept his senses, he found that she was malnourished, and he was immediately annoyed. He lets go of the inner house, which doesn't mean that he doesn't understand women's things. I'm afraid that the Zhou family still holds a grudge against Meng Ying and deliberately abuses her daughter, but forgets that Fanxing is also his daughter!
Coupled with the indiscriminate killing of innocents this time, he decided to teach her a lesson, so he said to Steward Zhao: "You go and help her clean up and move to Linglong Terrace." ”
Chu Mingzhao is a southerner, when he first arrived in Fengming City, he vigorously dug an artificial lake, and built a Linglong platform in the middle of the lake, which is not only the most beautiful house in the house, but also symbolizes the favor of the city lord.
I don't know what else the city lord's wife will do. But that was none of his business, and he saluted respectfully, "Yes, sir." ”
Chu Mingzhao bent down, touched Fanxing's head, and said, "Linglong Terrace is very beautiful, no one will bully you." Daddy still has something to do, so I'll come to see you later. ”
The stars achieved their goal, and when they saw it, they took it when they saw it, rubbed his big hand with his face like a kitten, and said happily: "Okay, listen to Daddy." ”
It was the first time for Chu Mingzhao to be so close to a child, and he was used in his heart, and his previous anger faded, with a smile on his face, he waved his hand at her, and the background gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Fanxing retracted his gaze and looked at Steward Zhao.
Steward Zhao met her calm eyes and was a little surprised, is this really a child's eyes?
saw her face up, and said worriedly: "I injured the sixth sister with scissors, will my father be angry?"
Steward Zhao showed a polite and friendly smile and said, "Thirteenth Miss, don't worry, there is an elixir in the little hand, and any wound caused by a mortal weapon can be cured." ”
Fanxing nodded as if relieved, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Steward Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief, but kept this anomaly in his heart.
Back in the small courtyard, Fanxing was about to push the door, and was suddenly pressed by Steward Zhao's shoulder, only to see him wave his sleeves, "bang", the entire courtyard door flew out, and Chu Jiu flew out, she was supported by the air and landed without injury, but she was holding a kitchen knife in her hand, and her eyes were fierce.
"Ahh
Steward Zhao hurriedly stopped in front of her and said, "Miss Thirteen, don't be afraid. ”
The stars squeezed Chu Jiu's eyes.
Chu Jiu suddenly felt like a lit cannonball, and he was about to explode again.
Steward Zhao said politely as if he hadn't seen it: "Miss Nine, the younger one is the housekeeper of the outer courtyard, and I am ordered by the city lord to move for Miss Thirteen, please lend a step." ”
Chu Jiu's mind was full of panic of "Thirteen complained to Daddy", she stretched out her hand and said, "I didn't hurt her, she stabbed me with scissors!"
But the little hand was white and smooth, and only a little red mark remained on the front of the hand.
