lady, please calm down

In the evening, you time.

Several carriages were traveling to Prince Chu's Mansion in Sajin Alley. The maid in the back house knew that today was the day when Mrs. Zhao returned home from school. The Hutou boudoir had been cleaned and covered with new bedding.

But after the princess got out of the car, her expression was obviously not right, and she suddenly asked someone to move all the furniture, clothes, and books in Hutou's boudoir to the Qingzhu Pavilion, the fifth entrance in front.

This arrangement is confusing.

Everyone knew that the princess was both sister and mother to Mrs. Zhao, and she loved her very early on. Hutou had been living with the princess when they were in Tongshan.

Later, when Hutou got older, in order to avoid suspicion from the King of Chu and his wife, Hutou had his own boudoir, but it was still in Hanchun Hall, next to the princess's bedroom.

How come Duanduan has to change places for Mrs. Zhao today?

Let’s move to the fifth entrance at the front

Grandma Qin, who came to help, noticed something was wrong, but before she could find out more, Yunong was called to the ancestral hall by the princess, and she did not come back until dark.

Aunt Qin knew that her little master was a troublemaker, and was worried that the princess would be serious this time, so she hurriedly went to find Ayu, who had always been friends with Yunong.

Ayu stayed at home today and didn't know what happened, so she called Dianjiang to go out and inquire about it.

Dian Jiang, like Zhuan Yun, was a maid from the Chen family in Yingchuan. After Zhuan Yun left for the imperial city, Dian Jiang took over her position as a personal maid.

The maids who come from aristocratic families are all clever.

Not long after, news came back that Mrs. Zhao was discovered using a very expensive set of national-colored cosmetics in school, which caused the princess to be furious.

Combined with Hutou's sudden move to the front yard, the whole matter of Yunong being left in the ancestral hall immediately became clear. Ninety-nine percent of the fragrance was given to Hutou by Yunong behind the princess's back.

Aunt Qin couldn't help but feel anxious. This matter was different from other affairs in the house. Yunong was a member of the family, so she always had the right to participate in other matters, but Mrs. Zhao was the princess's biological sister!

Except for the princess who can take care of her affairs, no one else is qualified to take care of her affairs.

Seeing that Aunt Qin was nervous, Ayu comforted her in a low voice: "Sister is very angry, and she will be fine when she calms down. With my sister's temper, I won't let Yunong suffer too much."

The royal palace occupies a vast area, and the King of Chu's family is not prosperous, so there are a large number of vacant courtyards in the back house.

In the fourth room, there are guards and stewards such as Tie Dan and Han Lu.

The sixth entrance is where the King of Chu's family lived, while the fifth entrance is mostly unused.

But today, the Wujin courtyard became lively. First, Mrs. Zhao moved to the Qingzhu Pavilion, and then King Chu and Concubine Cai led several young ladies of different ages to move into the Wujin Zhihui Pavilion.

Zhihui Pavilion occupies about 30% of the area of ​​the fifth courtyard and is composed of several independent buildings.

"Manager Li, this is the second sister, this is the fourth sister, and this is the little girl. How good are you?"

Cai Hua, who accompanied Chen Chu to settle down Jiaxing and his party, couldn't remember the details of these girls, so she couldn't help but ask the youngest Jiaxi.

In just a few months, the living environment changed, and he left the familiar imperial city and the familiar imperial sister. Jiaxi hid behind his second sister, glanced timidly at Cai Hua, and then whispered: "Jiaxi is on her twelfth trip."

Upon hearing this, Cai Hua turned around and glanced at Chen Chu charmingly, and said with a sweet smile: "Your Majesty, look at my late emperor and learn more!"

"."

He doesn't shy away from people even when he talks crazy.

What Cai Hua asked Chen Chu to learn was naturally the late emperor's powerful reproductive ability. After all, his daughters were already twelve.

Although the Chen family now has three daughters and one son, it is still far from being a prosperous family.

But her words clearly showed a lack of respect for the royal family.

Jiacheng, the oldest person present, just pretended not to understand.

Li Zhaodi was temporarily appointed as the manager of the Zhihui Pavilion, but she also found it strange that the terms "Second Sister" and "Fourth Sister" were usually only used for one's own talents. When did the prince have such a group of delicate, elegant and dignified people? Girl?

As early as April, Jiakui and his party came to Caizhou and initially arranged to stay at Cao Xiaojian's house.

But Cao Xiaojian, an eunuch, suddenly had a group of young girls in his home, which made him look conspicuous, so taking advantage of the school holiday, Chen Chu took them all into his home.

In his early years, Cao Xiaojian had planned a village for Jia Rou outside the city, but it had been unoccupied for a long time and needed repairs. It was not suitable for a group of underage girls to live in a village outside the city.

Here, Li Zhaodi, who has been in the government for many years, skillfully made arrangements for Jiacheng and others, including servants, wives, and daily utensils.

When it got a little dark, Chen Chu saw that he was ready and left the Zhihui Pavilion side by side with Cai Hua. Unexpectedly, Jiacheng ran after him.

After meeting, he gave a standard Wanfu gift first, then lowered his head and said: "Brother, what happened today is all the fault of Kuer'er and has nothing to do with sister Xiangyi. If brother agrees, Kuer'er wants to go to Qingzhu Pavilion to apologize to sister Xiangyi."

"No need, it's not a big deal for the little girls to have a quarrel with each other. The second sister will stay at Zhihui Mansion with peace of mind. If there is anything missing, just talk to Manager Li."

It was clear at a glance that what happened in the school was Hu Tou's fault and had nothing to do with Jiachuan, so there was no reason for her to apologize.

After Jiakui heard this, he didn't insist. He bowed to Chen Chu and Cai Hua again and turned back.

"Let's go, why are you in a daze?"

When Chen Chu came out of the garden, he took two steps but found that Cai Hua did not follow him. Instead, he held the handkerchief and looked at Jiacheng's back gradually disappearing behind the flowers and trees with a half-smile.

Hearing Chen Chu's greeting, Cai Hua followed up with a smile, hugged Chen Chu's arm with her arms like snakes, and said meaningfully: "This Jiacheng is a flexible and flexible person. This 'brother' is called sweet. From now on, Yeah, our tiger head is afraid that we may encounter a rival."

"Teenage children are not as complicated as you say."

Chen Chu retorted with a smile, but Cai Hua raised a charming white of her eyes, "It is precisely because of being a teenager that you are so powerful. You think about it, you have been praised by the palace people since you were a child, and you are arrogant and can't bear to be wronged as a teenager." When she was young, she could bear it and apologized to Hu Tou. When I was her age, she couldn't bear it."

"Hahaha, what you said is that even now, my sister Hua, you have never endured anything, right?"

"Hehe, isn't it because you, the evil puppy, support Nunu?"

"Speak politely. Why should you imitate Yunong?"

While the two were talking, they walked to the Qingzhu Pavilion on the other side, only to find Li Cuilian guarding the door. In her words, the lady asked her to stay here, and Hutou was not allowed to go out or see anyone during the entire holiday.

"Oh, the princess is really serious about this."

Cai Hua was very surprised that Hu Tou would be punished so severely.

It's okay to be grounded, but you're not allowed to see anyone. With Hu Tou's temperament, you can't go crazy even if you stay in the pavilion for two months.

Perhaps thinking of something else, Cai Hua suddenly asked seriously, "Is there only one person in the cabinet?"

"Go back to Miss Cai, Xiaoman is also there."

Hearing what Li Cuilian said, Cai Hua breathed a sigh of relief. At first, Chen Chu didn't understand what she meant, but after thinking about it, he realized that Cai Hua was worried that Hu Tou would get lost and do something stupid.

With Xiao Man here, I won’t be afraid anymore.

Thinking about it, Mao'er was also afraid of this, so she arranged for Xiaoman to be here.

At this time, the cat's mentality is probably that he wants to discipline the tiger severely, but is also afraid that the discipline will be harsh.

Chen Chu didn't insist on going in. If he wanted to go in, Li Cuilian naturally didn't dare to stop him, but the principle agreed upon by the couple was that Chen Chu would take care of the outside affairs and Mao would take care of the affairs in the back house.

Cai Hua was thoughtful. The information she knew now was the same as Dian Jiang's: "Hutou brought a whole set of expensive perfume to the school."

But Cai Hua felt that just because of this, the cat shouldn't punish the tiger head so harshly. There must be something else going on.

"Let's go see Yunong."

"Go ahead, I have something else to do."

At the beginning of the Xu period.

It was getting late, and a lazy cloud hung in the western sky, turned into an orange-red streamer by the evening sun.

After entering the sixth house, northwest of the house, the ancestral hall that was just built last year was dark, with only a few rays of the sunset reflecting into the hall.

When Chen Chu walked outside the ancestral hall, he was surprised to find that no one was guarding him.

Glancing in through the window lattice, I saw sitting statues of a woman and a middle-aged man hanging on the gable in the middle of the ancestral hall.

This full-length portrait was made by Mao'er, who found the best painter in Huaibei based on Chen Chu's dictation.

But to be honest, if he hadn't known it beforehand, Chen Chu wouldn't have recognized that these were his parents. A ancestral hall is almost a standard feature for large families.

Chen Chu didn't pay much attention to this matter at first, but Mao'er took it very seriously. At that time, Chen Chu said that when he returned to his hometown alone, even if he built a ancestral hall, only his parents could worship him, which made him seem deserted.

But Mao'er said, the officer used to be the same person, but now he is no longer the same person. If we can't find the ancestral lineage, we will start with the officer from now on. The officer is the ancestor of my Chen family in Caizhou.

Therefore, the Chen Family Ancestral Hall is not like other ancestral halls that are filled with ancestors’ memorial tablets, but only the portraits of Chen Chu’s parents.

As a result, the entire ancestral hall seemed extremely empty.

But this made the person kneeling in the middle even more pitiful. He lowered his head and his shoulders shook slightly from time to time. Could it be that he was crying?

Chen Chu pushed open the door and entered.

After the door hinge rang, the crooked figure kneeling on the futon immediately straightened his back and knelt down, and his shoulders stopped shaking.

Then, as if he heard the footsteps that were not the cat's, Yu Nong carefully turned around and glanced. A bright smile instantly bloomed on his oval face.

Chen Chu also laughed, because Yu Nong's fleshy mouth was surrounded by bright red oil.

I thought she was crying, but in fact she was stealing food as carelessly as ever.

"How much do you eat? Is it so delicious?" Chen Chu smiled and sat down cross-legged opposite Yu Nong.

Yu Nong raised his eyes and glanced at the portrait of his parents-in-law. After all, it was a bit disrespectful to eat secretly in the ancestral hall. He shook his head in denial and said: "Nu Nu didn't eat!"

Chen Chu raised his hand and wiped it on Yu Nong's mouth, then spread his palm to show the red chili oil to the latter, "Then what is this?"

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Yu Nong grinned stupidly and spread his palms, "Spicy slices, young master, do you want to eat them?"

"eat!"

Chen Chu took it, tore off a piece of spicy bean skin and threw it into his mouth.

This time, with Young Master taking the lead, Yu Nong was no longer afraid. He took a small bite of a piece and hissed so spicy that he still refused to stop.

Because Chen Chu suddenly came in just now, Yu Nong nervously grabbed the whole spicy film into his hands, so that his white hands were covered with red oil.

Chen Chu glanced at it with disdain, took out a handkerchief from nowhere, pulled Yu Nong's right hand involuntarily, and helped her wipe off the red oil on her hands while saying: "You are already a mother, and you are still acting like a child! "

There was clearly a hint of scolding in his tone, but there was a hint of pampering in it, and Yu Nong could clearly hear it.

He felt that his body and heart were about to melt, and his back that had just been straightened couldn't help but collapse again. He sat on his heels and kept looking at Chen Chu with a giggle.

Chen Chu lowered his head and carefully helped Yu Nong wipe the red oil that seeped into his fingers, while saying: "You, do you know why Madam punished you to kneel in the ancestral hall?"

"Nunu knows that Nunu secretly gave Hutou Guo's sexy and fragrant makeup, and the incident came to light."

"Is this right?"

"Uh, Nunu, think about it, it's not wrong."

".Not bad?"

Chen Chu raised his head. If Yunong had faced Mao'er, she would have given up and admitted her mistake. However, over the years, the young master has never been harsh to her, or even said harsh words, so she was not afraid and said it seriously. own reason.

"Master, Nunu suffered hardships in his early years, so he thought that whatever his family wanted, they could get it. Whether it is our Rao'er, Hutou or Ran'er, as long as it is what they want in the future, Nunu will find a way to do it. Give it to them, if they don’t want to, Nunu will never force them.”

"What if Rao'er doesn't want to study in the future?" Chen Chu asked.

But Yunong said without thinking: "Then don't miss it. As long as she is happy, I can support her for the rest of her life."

"Are you going to keep her for the rest of your life? How long has it been since you last seen the monthly payment? Has the monthly payment been deducted by Mao'er this year?"

"Hehe, Rao'er's mother has no money, but his father has money."

This is a matter of educational philosophy. Yunong is big-hearted and has no ambitions, and she never expects her daughter to be prosperous in the future.

All she wants is for her daughter to grow up happily and be free from illness and disaster.

There were only two of them in the ancestral hall. Yunong, whose legs were numb from kneeling, simply changed his position and sat cross-legged on the futon like Chen Chu. He even started to comment on Maoer and Caihua's education methods.

"My sister and Sister Cai are very strict with Ji'er. They have to sit and stand in different directions at a young age. They are not allowed to play with this or eat that. Sometimes, I saw Ji'er's little They all look pitiful."

Yu Nong dared to play wildly with Rao'er and Ran'er, and doted on Hu Tou unlimitedly, but he did not dare to lead Ji'er out of line.

After all, he is the young prince who has placed the whole government's expectations on him. If he gets into trouble or acts wildly, Yunong cannot bear this responsibility.

Chen Chu strongly agreed with this point and couldn't help but nodded: "Indeed! They are too strict with Ji'er!"

After that, Chen Chu thought for a while and decided to use this time in Caizhou to take his son out for a walk. The boy should be exposed to wind, rain, and beatings.

How can it be possible to be cooped up at home all day long?

It's not good for Yu Nong to be too doting, but Mao'er and Cai Hua's methods are not good either. It's better to neutralize them.

Seeing that he was distracted, Yu Nong couldn't help but look up at the portrait on the gable wall, then looked at the young master, and said with great interest: "Young master, were your parents-in-law strict with you back then?"

Chen Chu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's okay. Except for being called a parent in middle school because of puppy love and being slapped with a feather duster by your mother-in-law, I'm usually pretty good."

"Giggle." Yunong probably understood the meaning of 'puppy love', imagining the young master being whipped by his mother-in-law and running all over the house. He laughed so hard, and then said: "Didn't the father-in-law hit the young master?"

"No, your father-in-law encouraged me. He once said jokingly that he would bring some more daughters-in-law home."

"Keke, my father-in-law is a sensible person! Please worship him again!"

After saying that, he got up and kowtowed to Father Chen's portrait.

Chen Chu laughed and stopped the person.

The last bit of the sun reluctantly disappeared into the horizon.

It was completely dark inside the ancestral hall. Yu Nong was a well-known chatterbox. Chen Chu was rarely in the mood today, so the two of them chatted endlessly.

"Do you still have those spicy chips you just ate?"

"Yes, Nunu will give it to you."

"Well, who sent it to you?"

"Ayu sent it."

"Oh? Ayu is very kind to you."

"Young Master doesn't even understand."

"What don't I understand?"

"Nu Nu is saying that if Ayu dares to come and bring me food, she must have received a hint from my sister. Otherwise, Ayu is a very smart person. If she hadn't given her a hint, she would not have offended my sister for me."

"Hey, I thought you two had a good relationship."

"We have a very good relationship!"

"Then you're still talking bad about little sisters behind your back."

"Nu Nu only told the young master, please don't tell Ayu. Besides, people have selfish motives, and Nu Nu is not exempt from vulgarity sometimes. Sister Cai said, we sisters are not saints, who can't I’m a little careful.”

"That's the truth."

In this room, Chen Chu and Yu Nong were sitting cross-legged in the ancestral hall, chatting animatedly in the dark.

In that room, Jiacheng, who was living in the palace for the first time, led a group of sisters and took the initiative to go to Hanchun Hall to meet the head mistress.

Mao'er, who was so angry that he didn't have dinner because of the tiger's head incident, heard that the royal ladies were visiting, wanted to go downstairs to greet them, but finally thought about it and sat back down in the hall to wait.

In Qingzhu Pavilion, Hutou is lying in front of the desk, biting the end of his pen in depression. The three thousand words of self-reflection requested by my sister have not been written yet. (End of chapter)
