The little daughter-in-law of the palace

Chapter 69 The Undercurrent Surges (1)
In Rongxi Hall, the old lady was sitting on the warm couch wearing a sauce red crane-patterned tunic, smiling and looking at the little girl in front of her, "Rongrong is getting longer and more handsome, look at this little face, with Your mother was exactly the same when she was young."

Eleven-year-old Chu Rong replied playfully: "My mother said you were only good-looking when you were young. I want to grow up like you."

The old lady was overjoyed, she nodded her forehead, pointed to the wrinkles on her face and said, "You want this too?"

Chu Rong laughed.

The old lady squeezed her pink face, turned her head and asked Chu Huai who was standing next to Master Chu San, "How is my second son studying recently?"

Chu Huai is 15 years old, different from Chu Yuan's seriousness and Chu Hong's gentleness and humility, he looks more like a big girl, with a face like powdered lips, red lips and white teeth, a pair of eyes looking forward, full of romance, looking a little bit wrong through.In terms of advancement, Chu Yuan studied martial arts, Chu Hong studied, but Chu Huai liked to do business. The third master of Chu was in charge of the general affairs of the Chu family. Among the noble sons, he got the nickname "Chu Fox".

"It's not as good as the third brother, he's better than the elder brother." Chu Huai said, shaking his folding fan.

Third Master Chu couldn't see his son shaking his fan the most, and scolded him with a frown: "What kind of wind do you fan in winter? It's too hot to stand outside!"

He is Chu Qing's younger brother. The two brothers look very similar, but Chu Qing is diligent in practicing martial arts. His body is about the same as when he was in his twenties. He often went to banquets and drank wine, his face became rounder year by year, and his stomach bulged. Although he still looked handsome, he was far inferior to Chu Qing in attracting women's liking.Frowning now, he finally had three parts of Chu Qing's majesty.

Chu Huai shyly put away the fan and pinned it to his waist.

The third lady stared at the two of them in distaste, and apologized to the old lady with a smile: "I made you laugh all the time."

The old lady shook her head, "I want to read such jokes every day, so don't worry about it."

The sons and grandsons are all calm-tempered, and the daughter-in-law and granddaughter are not very good at witty words.On the side of the two nephews, because their mother left early and she helped manage their marriage, the nephews all respect her as an aunt, and the whole family comes here for dinner every year and festival.The old lady's favorite is Chu Huai and Chu Rong brothers and sisters in the third room. With them, there is no need to worry about being bored.

As for Chu Qing's room, it was a mess. The old lady tried to persuade them once that they didn't appreciate it, so she just ignored it.

"Old lady, Master Hou is here." The little maid walked in and preached.

The old lady looked out curiously.

Elder Chu and his wife are brothers and sisters-in-law, and they continued to sit, while the third master and his wife stood up and greeted Chu Qing.Chu Rong also returned from the old lady to her mother, raised her chin slightly, and glanced towards the door.

Chu Qing first walked in with Ah Xun in his arms. Ah Xun leaned nervously on his father's shoulder when he saw that the room was full of people.

This scene alone shocked the jaws of everyone in the room.

When did the two get so close?

Chu Qing saw it, and secretly proud of it, he put Ah Xun on the ground, and he led his son to the old lady, "My nephew is not filial, I was too busy to settle down for Hanhan and his siblings yesterday, and I forgot to greet my aunt, don't be angry, Ah Xun, please call your uncle and grandma, please don't blame Daddy."

Ah Xun remembered that her sister had never scolded the old lady, so she leaned on her father's lap and learned her tongue obediently, "Don't blame daddy, uncle and grandma."

The old people like children, especially the beautiful ones. Seeing Ah Xun's cute appearance, the old lady's heart melted, and she kept saying: "No blame, no blame, uncle and grandma don't blame, Ah Xun, come here quickly, give uncle hug?"

Ah Xun shrank into her father's arms.

Chu Qing lowered his head to coax his son, "Ah Xun is obedient, my aunt likes you, give her a hug, and she will give you good things."

Ah Xun blinked, then turned to look at the old lady, that small questioning look, as if asking the old lady if she had any good things.

The old lady smiled from ear to ear, pointed at Chu Qing and cursed: "I've been thinking about it for a year, you didn't know how to be filial to me after you made a contribution, and you even tried to snatch me from me, that's all, who told us Ah Xun to recruit me?" It hurts, Pomegranate, go and get my jade gourd!"

The servant girl, Pomegranate, responded with a smile and walked out.

Ah Xun knew that she had gone to fetch good things for herself, and stared at the door with big eyes expectantly, hoping that she would come back soon.

The old lady shook her head and laughed, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked behind Chu Qing.

Without needing to be reminded by Chu Qing, Hanzhu stepped forward lightly, and saluted the old lady a little shyly: "Blessed uncle and grandma, my granddaughter is not filial, I forgot to come here yesterday to say hello to you," he said, taking her hand from Sixi. The embroidered forehead was embroidered, and he put it up with both hands and said: "I was recuperating in the Zhuangzi before. Uncle Meng was thinking about it and sent a lot of medicinal materials. The granddaughter embroidered this forehead to express her heart. If the embroidery is not good, please ask grandma Don't dislike it."

The soft and soft voice narrated, like the most pleasing tune in the world, everyone in the room unconsciously breathed lightly, and then listened to her words, which were sensible and caring, and they were completely different from Chu Han in memory. There was a flash of surprise.

The old lady was the first to come back to her senses, looking at the little girl in front of her who was blushing because of being stared at by everyone, seeing her black eyebrows stretched and obedient, her expression shy and gentle, she couldn't tell that she was pretending at all, and said with emotion: "Okay, okay, okay. Hanhan is getting more and more sensible, if anyone out there dares to say that our family Hanhan has a bad temper, my uncle and grandma will be the first to defend you."

Hanzhu thanked her gratefully.

Chu Qing said seriously: "Then I will trouble you."

Fortunately, my daughter is still young, and her bad reputation of being stubborn and stubborn in the past can be regarded as a child who is ignorant. When she becomes filial piety in the coming year, her daughter will go out with the old lady more often. Those female relatives in the capital will see her gentle and sensible appearance, and then listen to the old lady's compliments. It won't be long before her daughter's reputation will be righted.

The old lady ignored his thank you, looked at her forehead carefully with beaded embroidery, and kept nodding, "Who did Hanhan learn Su embroidery from? It's not worse than the embroiderer in our house." , Look, see if I'm a fake boaster." He handed the things to his daughter-in-law.

The eldest lady took it, with surprise on her face, "Yes, what a coincidence, Hanhan, please give your second sister some advice when you have time in the future, she is stupid."

"Mother..." Chu Qiang pretended to be angry and coquettishly, and then looked at the forehead with curiosity.
