The little daughter-in-law of the palace

Chapter 117 Chu Man Falls into the Water (1)
Ever since the news spread that Chu Huai had carried three dragon boats back to the mansion, the maids and servants in the Yunyang Hou Mansion have been looking forward to the Dragon Boat Festival coming soon. There are dragon boat races outside the city every year, and they have no chance to watch it when they are trapped in the mansion. , now you can see the excitement without leaving your house, how can you not look forward to it?Besides, the masters and young masters of the Chu family are all good-looking, and the little maids are full of spring hearts, and they are looking forward to it.

On the morning of the fifth day of the lunar new year, the eldest lady helped her husband to dress after washing. Thinking of the dragon boat race in the morning, she couldn't help laughing and said: "You said you, you are almost holding a grandson, and you are still messing around with the juniors. If it spreads, you won't be afraid to make people laugh." joke."

The elder said helplessly: "Second brother has agreed, but if I don't agree, doesn't it seem that I am afraid of him? Anyway, it is to please you, it only happens once a year, so don't make fun of me anymore."

The eldest lady tapped his chest teasingly, "You are the eldest brother, since there is a competition, if you can't be the first, you should take the second place anyway, don't lose too embarrassingly."

The old man thought so too, and he was very confident in himself.Dragon boating is different from fighting, kung fu is not important, what is fighting is strength. Although he is a civil servant, he practiced martial arts with Chu Qing when he was young. He insisted on morning exercises all these years, and his body is not much worse than Chu Qing.The father is indistinguishable from brother to son, but the son is far better than Chu Hong, so if they add up, they will still lose?As for the third room, the children's third uncle is the least useful, and Chu Huai is just a little better than Chu Hong, and completely incomparable with Chu Yuan, so even if their eldest room can't get the first place, they can definitely get the first place two.

The couple packed up, and when they went out, Chu Yuan and Chu Qiang were already waiting in the main room, and the family of four went to Rongxi Hall together.

On the other side of the third room, the third wife was also talking about this matter, staring at her son and said: "Bibibi, you are the only one who has so many tricks, you will be ashamed today!"

Chu Huai showed a confident smile, "That's not necessarily the case, mother, don't look down on me and father too much."

The elder brother smiled a little badly, Chu Rong rolled her eyes, walked over to him and asked, "Does brother have any tricks? Tell me quickly, if you are sure you can win, I will put the lottery on you, otherwise you will lose the lottery." Don't blame me for oppressing others."

Now Chu Huai was pretending to be mysterious again, shaking his fan and said, "Win is determined, who can be sure? Rong Rong doesn't need to show brother face, you can pressure whoever you want, in case you lose money because of me, Brother will pay you back later. Well, let’s go, don’t let the old lady wait for us.”

Chu Rong sneered at him, the siblings looked at each other and smiled, and walked out of the house side by side.

The third master looked at the backs of the children, turned his head and sighed with his wife, "In the blink of an eye, the children are so big, I still remember when they were three or four years old." After speaking, he looked at his wife, and saw that his wife's appearance had hardly changed over the years , charming and beautiful as before, I couldn't help holding her hand, and lowered my voice, "Only you haven't changed, you are still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, you don't look like me, you can't look anymore."

The man talked sweetly, and the third lady looked up at him. In fact, there is no ugly man in the Chu family. Even if my husband is fat, he is still a handsome man.

So that year, when she was admiring the flowers with Xiao Zhou, and met the brothers of the Chu family by chance, they all looked at Chu Qing first, the most outstanding man in the capital.As for Brother Chu Qing, at the same time, they cast their eyes on Xiao Zhou, that good sister who always overwhelmed her in appearance.

Not long after, Chu Qing went to the Zhou family to propose a marriage. She had an inexplicable feeling in her heart. She was envious of Xiao Zhou being favored by such a man, but regretted why it was not her. At the same time, she was worried for Xiao Zhou, fearing that she would not be able to subdue Chu. Tilt, not a good end.She kindly persuaded her, but Xiao Zhou tried to refute it with reason at first, but then she probably got annoyed, and asked her coldly: "Since you think that marrying Chu Qing will not have good results, why do you still admire him? If he is today Propose marriage to you, will you refuse? It's nothing more than jealous that I have won his favor, and want to replace him, why pretend to be kind?"

It wasn't until then that the third wife realized that Little Zhou didn't regard her as a good sister at all, otherwise how could she be so suspicious of her?
The two quarreled, and soon reconciled under Fang's persuasion, at least on the surface.Not long after Xiao Zhou's marriage, she went to Jiuhua Temple with her parents to offer incense, and met her current husband, perhaps the most beautiful woman in the capital, who became his sister-in-law. This time her husband finally saw her and came to propose marriage.

She and Xiao Zhou have become sisters-in-law again, one is Mrs. Hou Ye, and the other is younger siblings who have to rely on her.

Then many things changed.

In the main courtyard of Hou's Mansion, brothers and sisters Hanzhu and Chuhong all gathered in the upper room.

Hanzhu is wearing a white bottom embroidered with light blue plum blossoms, with bright eyes and white teeth, fresh and agile.Chu Man was wearing a peach pink dress and a pink tourmaline butterfly hairpin in her hair. The pink was tender, making her fair face even more delicate and lovely.

One of the two sisters is as graceful as a magnolia, and the other is as delicate as a pink begonia, both of which are top-notch.Chu Qing looked pleasing to the eye, and then asked Chu Hong, "How is your paddling practice these days?"

Chu Hong said with some embarrassment: "I know how to row, but the speed is not fast."

Of course Chu Qing knew what was going on with him, and asked his youngest son with a smile, "The third brother is not as strong as the elder brother and the second brother, so can Ah Xun help the third brother?"

Ah Xun didn't like Chu Man, the fourth sister, and even her own brother who didn't like the fourth sister, so she immediately refused: "No, I want to accompany my sister!"

Chu Hong shook his head and smiled, not minding.

Chu Qing patted his youngest son's head, and walked towards the east courtyard first.

The Chu family had a very lively breakfast. After the meal, the men went to the lake to prepare, while the women stayed in the house to talk.
