Chapter 13

Cheng Yuan rationally interrupted this idea, got out of Cheng's house, mounted his horse and went straight to the leather goods shop.

"Brother Cheng," Yuan Chen was coming out of the leather goods store, and when he saw Cheng Yu'an walking up the steps, he immediately said enthusiastically, "Is there something missing at home?"

Cheng Yu'an knew how this man felt about Yao'er. He used to think that he was not worthy of his sister anyway, but thinking that from now on Yao'er was just the adopted daughter of the Cheng family, he nodded: "Come here and buy a felt blanket. I want it." Fine fox fur."

Yuan Chen didn't feel happy to be ignored. Instead, he speculated that something had happened to the Cheng family.

His master taught him since he was a child that there must be monsters when things go wrong.

"Yes," Yuan Chen claps the folding fan into his hand and says sideways, "Brother Cheng, please. I just don't know, which lady is this bought for?"

Cheng Yuan only said: "My sister at home."

The only person who can make Cheng Yuan call her sister is Miss Cheng Er.

Yuan Chen felt happy when he thought of her, and immediately asked the shopkeeper to take out the new batch of felt blankets.

Princess House.

Zhou Yanhui kept putting vegetables into her son's bowl, and laughed at Chu Cheng who was sitting on the other side of her and said not much: "When my son was not at home, you talked about it every day. Why did you have nothing to say when he came back?"

Chu Cheng smiled kindly, looking at his son with full satisfaction. He said, "Isn't this eating? Let the child eat well first."

Chu Wei didn't even raise his head and paid no attention to his father's appearance.

But he has been like this since he was a child and is not very close to Chu Cheng. Zhou Yanhui also thought it was because of his strict father and loving mother, so he smiled and said: "Wei'er, your father also bought you a book of hundreds of gongs and kept it by your side. On."

Chu Wei said: "Thank you very much, father."

"It's nothing," Chu Cheng felt a little uncomfortable and waved his hand, "As long as you like it."

While eating, someone came to the palace. There was not much of a fight. The person who came was Leng Ruoshuang, the eldest maid in charge of personnel in Qianqing Palace, whom Zhou Yanhui was very familiar with.

She and Zhang Fanglu, the chief eunuch, were Emperor Fenglong's right-hand men.

"Aunt Leng is here," Zhou Yanhui greeted Leng Ruoshuang personally, "Father, do you have any instructions?"

"Your Majesty heard that Marquis Ruiming was back and asked him to come to the palace in the afternoon." Leng Ruoshuang stopped at the door and said softly: "But you are not in a hurry. You can let the Marquis have a good rest, and you can go there later in the afternoon. of."

Zhou Yan smiled back and thanked her, and invited her to sit inside. Leng Ruoshuang shook her head, "I'm busy with chores, so I won't keep you here."

After sending people out, Zhou Yan came back and saw that her son had put down the dishes and chopsticks, and the atmosphere on the table was a little stiff. She looked at her husband and then at her son.

"Mother, I'll go back to the Marquis Mansion first," Chu Wei stood up, "If you have anything to do, ask Aunt Su to send a message."

"Why are you leaving? Why don't you go to your room and take a nap?" Zhou Yanhui followed him out. Seeing that he couldn't stop, he said, "Your imperial grandfather also asked you to go to the palace. Don't forget it."

The person walking in front agreed. Seeing his son's tall back walking further and further away, Zhou Yanhui was filled with sadness.

When he was a child, he followed his mother back and forth. He could still see her looking for her after she disappeared for a while, but now he was an adult who had already gone home to have a meal and was about to leave.

"What did you two, father and son, say?" Zhou Yan turned around and asked.

Chu Cheng also came to the door. He held his right hand behind his back, curled up his little finger, and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything. It's not like you don't know. This kid has been treating me since he was a child. Alas, it's all my fault for being stupid."

Zhou Yan took his hand back and said, "It's the past, don't mention it again."

Even though she said that, thinking about it, she felt a tearing pain in her heart.

More than ten years ago, when Wei'er was only about three years old, she celebrated her birthday and took her child to play in the front garden for a long time. Wei'er picked a lot of flowers and said they were going to be given to her father.

He also wanted to give his father a surprise.

The mother and son avoided the servant guards and went to the study room in the front yard.

It was quiet in front of the study, and no one was watching. At that time, she thought someone was talking to her husband in the study, so she couldn't bear it and led the child to it, but she heard the sound of obscene words inside.

At that time, she couldn't bear the blow and fainted. When she woke up, she saw her husband kneeling by her window with a face full of guilt and regret.

Chu Cheng said he was drunk and the maid took the opportunity to seduce him.

She didn't pursue the case, and just asked someone to drive the maid out. Chu Cheng also promised that if he made another mistake in the future, he would be killed by her.

Zhou Yanhui still couldn't get over that hurdle, and had been lingering for half a year before she recovered. After so many years, Chu Cheng had done what he promised, and Zhou Yanhui also learned to let that matter go.

I just didn't expect that from that time on, my son would no longer be close to his father, and gradually he became like this.

But this is also the case in other families, between father and son. Zhou Yanhui doesn't think that his son's lack of closeness to Chu Cheng now is because of what happened when he was a child. After all, he was only so old at that time and he might not even remember things.

Zhou Yanhui comforted Chu Cheng so much that Chu Cheng smiled with the corner of his mouth twitching.

Cheng Yuan didn't even eat lunch. He went out for a trip. When he came back, he not only had a good fleece blanket, but also a pearl curtain and some jewelry that girls would use when going out.

The courtyard with several small pear trees was quiet, the sun was blazing, and the pear leaves reflected the light, not wilting at all.

The little girl in pink who was holding a kettle and was spraying water on the leaves saw the young master coming back, she turned sideways and saluted with red eyes, "Young master."

Cheng Yuan asked: "Where is she?"

"The young lady was resting in the room. She thought the slave was noisy, so she asked the slave to come out and water the flowers." The little maid complained tactfully.

Cheng Yuan walked towards the main room and said, "She is the master and you are the servant. Keep watering."

Having said that, Cheng Yuan still felt that this sister was a bit too unruly.

As soon as he entered the inner room, he immediately turned around and exited, saying with a dark face: "Why are you so disheveled in broad daylight?"

A pair of white and tender feet were raised on the table, and her thumbs were wagging leisurely. Xin Nuo was leaning on the back of the chair and eating grapes. Seeing this person who came in suddenly and then left quickly, he said, "Who told you to come in without knocking?"

Cheng Yuan's face turned darker, "Get dressed, I bought the blanket you asked for."

"Really?" Xinnuo quickly pulled out his shoes, "Let me take a look."

Cheng Yuan said: "Are you always so rude and rude?"

"What's wrong with me? You said I'm disheveled?" Xinnuo put down his rolled-up sleeves and said, "Okay."

Cheng Yuan also felt his head was a little buzzing, so he put down the things he bought and left.

"Why don't you sit down for a while?" Xin Nuo said politely.

"No, I am your eldest brother. You must remember that men and women do not sit at the same table at the age of seven." Cheng Yuan said, walked to the door of the room, turned his head and said: "Also, when you first return to the Cheng family, don't be too harsh on your servants. No. Tell me if it will affect your reputation, our family doesn’t deliberately mistreat the servants.”

"Are you talking about the maid who complained to you?" Xin Nuo spit out a grape peel and said, "She always said that I was wrong here and there. I thought she was very free, so I asked her to water the flowers. What's wrong with that? ?"

Cheng Yuan's face turned dark and blue, "So you heard me coming?"

Xinnuo nodded, then followed his gaze to his feet, and said innocently, "I didn't expect you to come in without knocking."

Completely defeated, Cheng Yuan walked away.

 Ask for it.
