Concubine like a house

Chapter 131 Passionate but ruthless annoyed (2)
"Don't worry about that, I'll save an inch." Chuxiu returned solemnly.Mrs. Tai just nodded her head, closed the greeting card and pressed it on the table, and said to Yun Feng: "You go to Prince Cheng's mansion to answer in person, after seven days, all the people in the Yun mansion will wait for the holy driver." Yun Feng was also very nervous, he Since taking over the position of general manager, I have never met such an important guest.So he cautiously said yes, and hurried to answer.Mrs. Tai looked very steady, and looked at Chuxiu with a smile: "Take this opportunity of Nie Qi's visit, and I want to propose a marriage for Cheng'er." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought of going together, and Chuxiu couldn't help laughing: " To tell you the truth, when I went to Cheng Wang's mansion for a banquet the night before, I already said this on my own initiative." "Oh? How did Nie Qi reply?" Mrs. Tai became interested.Chuxiu shook his head: "He was noncommittal, neither agreed nor refused."

"That's a joke!" Mrs. Tai was quite confident, "I want to ask him to point out Zuo Xiangzhuang Qin's youngest daughter to Cheng'er, what do you think?"

Left Prime Minister Zhuang Qin?The father-in-law of Emperor Tianshou?Both Chuxiu and Shen Yu were taken aback: "You want to marry Mrs. Zhuang?" Mrs. Tai nodded, half-truly teasing Chuxiu: "Zhuang Qin is the head of the state, and his youngest daughter is Nie Qi's sister-in-law. This matter If it really happens, you will be a generation higher than Nie Qi." Chu Xiu heard that she couldn't laugh or cry, and the anger caused by Shen Yu just now gradually disappeared, and she began to carefully consider the feasibility of this marriage.On the contrary, Shen Yu reminded: "But I remember that the youngest daughter of Zhuang Xiang is a concubine..."

"It depends on whose family's concubine it is." Mrs. Tai has considered clearly, "Zhuang Yiran is 14 years old this year, the same age as Cheng'er. Although she is a concubine, she is the sister of the current queen Zhuang Xiaoran after all. Besides In terms of bloodline, Cheng'er is also an adoptive child, so she is also suitable for Zhuang Yiran."

"I'm afraid that the Emperor Tianshou will not agree." Chuxiu was full of worries and felt that this move was very difficult.Of course, if Yun Cheng could marry the sister of the current empress, then he would become a brother-in-law with Emperor Tianshou, which would be great.

"I'm not afraid that he won't agree." Mrs. Tai is confident and confident, "Now that Nie Qichu has ascended the throne, he has the ambition to unify the north and the south. As long as he has this plan, he will need our support. There is something to be said for this matter!"

Since Mrs. Tai is so sure, Chuxiu can't say anything more, she just said: "Today I will send someone to inquire about Zhuang Yiran's character and appearance."

"Girls taught by the Zhuang family can't be inferior in appearance." Mrs. Tai commented in this way, and then smiled veiledly, "Those who set up big ambitions get middle ambitions, and those who set middle ambitions win small ambitions... If I fail to marry Zhuang Yiran, I will marry you." I still have a second candidate in my heart, so I should settle for the second best, and Nie Qi should agree."

"It turns out that you still have a second choice. I am really educated." Shen Yu was extremely impressed, and asked curiously, "Whose daughter is the second person in your heart?"

This time, Mrs. Tai played tricks instead: "We have to choose No.1 as the main choice. If it doesn't work, you will know who the candidate is sooner or later. If it works, you don't need to mention the candidate, so as not to spoil the girl's reputation." reputation."

"It's still you who have considered it thoroughly." Shen Yu nodded in agreement.Seeing that Shen Yu was so obedient, Mrs. Tai curled her lips and snorted again: "Don't just talk nicely to make me happy, my old woman holds grudges very much. I remember you clearly when you were against me in the past." The words were very straightforward, and Shen Yu was also very embarrassed.When Yun Ci was alive in the past, the relationship between the mother and son was estranged, and he had always stood by Yun Ci's side.Later, when Yunci passed away, Mrs. Tai wanted Chuxiu to marry in, but he also strongly resisted, and even said a lot of disrespectful words.

In fact, until this moment, Shen Yu didn't know whether he was right or wrong.Signing the marriage certificate as a matchmaker, did he bring himself closer to Chuxiu, or pushed him further away?

For a while, the three of them had their own thoughts and fell silent.After a while, Mrs. Tai knocked on the table with chopsticks first, and said to Chuxiu: "I don't think you have much appetite, so go back and prepare the banquet. If you want to eat and drink, Zhiyan Xuan also has a cook .”

Chuxiu really has no appetite at the moment, and he is full of thoughts about the candidate for the granddaughter-in-law that Mrs. Tai is looking for, so he said: "Then I will take my leave first."

Mrs. Tai took advantage of the situation to look at Shen Yu again: "You are still Yun's son-in-law, so naturally you have to contribute to Yun's. This time Nie Qi will come to the door in person, so you can help Xiu."

"Let's do it?" Shen Yu was stunned, but it was only for a moment, he immediately reacted, and said yes to Mrs. Tai's order secretly happily.

Seeing Xiu again, she really has a resisting expression.Mrs. Tai pretended not to see it, let alone gave her any chance to object, so she got up and issued an order to evict the guest: "You guys have a good discussion, don't make any mistakes. Whether Cheng'er's marriage is successful or not depends on seven days later." Hearing this, he had no choice but to get up, salute with Shen Yu and retreat together.As soon as she walked out of Rongjin Hall, she lowered her expression and quickened her pace, not wanting to walk on the same road with Shen Yu.Biansheng Shen Yu followed behind her unhurriedly, keeping a distance neither near nor far.

After walking back and forth for a while, Chuxiu finally couldn't help having a seizure. He paused for a moment and turned to look at Shen Yu: "You succeeded, and you moved into the inner courtyard as you wished. What are you doing with me?"

Shen Yu just smiled calmly, and answered irrelevant questions: "Don't be annoyed, didn't you sleep well last night? I'm going to Zhiyanxuan to see Cheng'er, how about 'looking, smelling, asking, cutting' for you?"

"Look, smell, ask, cut?" Hearing these four words, Chuxiu was so angry that he couldn't speak.She gave Shen Yu a hard look with cold eyes, gritted her teeth without saying a word, then turned around and walked quickly.

Shen Yu pursed his lips and smiled silently, hurried two steps behind her: "If you don't speak, I will take it as your consent."

Chuxiu made up her mind to ignore him, and walked towards Zhiyanxuan even faster, but no matter how fast or slow she walked, Shen Yu always had a way to follow her leisurely, leaving Chuxiu helpless.

The two entered Zhiyan Pavilion one after the other, and Chuxiu ordered the guard on duty: "Take my uncle to the house." After saying these words, she walked away without looking back.

However, not long after returning to the house, Shen Yu found him again.Chu Xiuzhi gritted his teeth with hatred, and asked him in a deep voice: "What are you doing again? Won't you knock on the door first?"

Shen Yu spread his hands and shrugged helplessly: "Cheng'er is not in the mansion, I heard that he was taken out to hunt by the master of riding and archery."

After Shen Yu mentioned this, Chuxiu remembered that she had indeed heard Yun Cheng mention this matter a few days ago, and she nodded in agreement.It was all because she was so busy these days that she had completely forgotten about it.

Did Shen Yu know in advance?Otherwise, if he didn't come sooner or later, why did he choose a day when Yun Cheng was not around to come to Zhiyanxuan?Chuxiu didn't believe it was a coincidence, so he said to Shen Yu: "Since Cheng'er is not here, my uncle will come back another day."

"Now that there is no one around, you don't have to call me 'uncle', right?" Shen Yu frowned.Chuxiu saw that he always answered irrelevant questions, and didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he said hard: "Shen Yu, you don't have to try hard and soft to pester me, we made it very clear last time, besides, you may not can pave the way.”

Pave the way forward?Finally, Shen Yu adjusted his expression: "What do you mean by that?" Chuxiu pondered for a moment, as if he was considering how to speak, and after a long while, he said solemnly: "I am the head of the Yun family, and I have a chastity archway bestowed by the emperor. On me, not to mention that King Cheng is also interested in me... Have you considered all these obstacles carefully? Do you know how to solve them?"

She didn't give Shen Yu a chance to speak, and continued: "The Marquis of Wenchang's mansion ransacked and beheaded, and you alone survived, and the burden of revitalizing the whole mansion is on your shoulders... Have you ever thought that if you insist on If you don't regret it, where should you put the chastity archway? Where should you put the face of the emperor granted by heaven? Where should you put the heart of King Cheng?"

"Han Chu..." Shen Yu opened his mouth and only said these two words.The solemn questioning of the beloved woman was like a cold sword on the battlefield, piercing his heart mercilessly.The revitalization of the family, the pressure of responsibility, the bright future... Compared with the love he has been thinking about, what is more important?
Seeing his confused expression, Chuxiu immediately persuaded him: "Now, you are about to become Marquis of Weiyuan, so don't give up all your previous efforts for the sake of your children's love for a while. There is also King Cheng, who calls you brother and brother. Friendship is not invaluable... If you insist on entangled with me, the friendship between the two of you will come to an end, don't you think it's a pity to lose him as a friend?"

"Ten thousand steps back, even if Emperor Tianshou doesn't care about it, King Cheng also values ​​friends and despises sex, but there is still a Yun Xiangrong between you and me." Mentioning this name, Chuxiu's words stopped abruptly, and he asked himself Need to go on.

And Shen Yu was obviously also in deep thought.Chuxiu wanted to laugh when she saw this, but for some reason she wanted to cry even more. The sourness in her eyes and the sadness in her heart surged like a flood, as if they were going to drown her in the abyss of despair.

Obviously this person is right in front of your eyes, and there is no distance between life and death, but they are still far away from each other. The love that has been accumulated over the years is actually just a dream bubble, and it only needs to be poked with a finger, and it will be ruthlessly shattered immediately.

She has Yun Ci's deep affection in her heart, and Yun's burden is hard to unload.He has the revitalization of his family on his shoulders, and he has a great future at his feet.They missed it eight years ago, and now that they each have new identities and concerns, it is even more impossible to give up everything.A belated acquaintance is doomed to a hopeless ending after all.Chuxiu said so much, seeing that Shen Yu kept frowning and saying nothing, and knew that the words from the bottom of his heart had worked, he couldn't help saying: "I admit, you are very special in my heart. Because there is no man like you. You have liked me like this for eight years, saved my life, and treated me like crazy. But I am not targeting you, if it were someone else...no matter which man it is, I will..."

"But I'm that man!" At this point in the conversation, Shen Yu suddenly interrupted, his face as dark as the snow in the north, and the cold air was pressing.He didn't hide his sadness, and replied word by word, "I've been with you for eight years, so you're only special to me, and that's enough."

"You still don't understand..." Chuxiu wanted to say that Shen Yu was deceiving himself and others, but then he thought about it, didn't he do the same?What qualifications do you have to say about him?Everyone has their own idiocy.

Thinking of this, Chuxiu took a deep breath, as if encouraging herself to continue: "I know you don't like Xiangrong, and I don't object to your insistence on reconciling. It doesn't matter whether you are Yun's son-in-law or not. Our friendship... But you are already 25 years old, you should have started a family and started a business long ago, and you will have children, so that you can be worthy of your father and brother... If you insist on spending your time on me, don't say that I will not be shaken, so will Emperor Tianshou and King Cheng. It will not be allowed, and at that time, all your efforts will be in vain."

"What about you?" Shen Yu then asked again, "I should start a family and have a long line of children, but you should stay as a widow and guard the Yun family all your life? Do you spend your whole life thinking about it?"

He gradually became agitated, and impatiently stretched out his finger to the northwest, which was where Rong Jintang was located: "Are you going to follow Mrs. Tai's old path? Do you think she is having a good time?"

"There's nothing to be happy about." Chuxiu closed her eyes slightly, with a hint of sobs in her voice, "Mrs. Tai and I chose this path because we couldn't let it go."

Hearing this, Shen Yu fell silent, or he had nothing to say.Indeed, there are too many problems between him and Chuxiu, and he hasn't thought of a perfect solution... It's because he can't wait, Nie Peixiao's intentions for Chuxiu are too obvious, and the two have been in the same place for a long time, Based on this point alone, he is already at a disadvantage far away.

Shen Yu was full of thoughts, and it took a long time before he answered: "The gentleman is open and honest, as His Royal Highness Cheng, he will not take his anger on me, let alone Yun Shi; the matter of Xiangrong is easy to handle, I will persuade her Marry again; as for the Holy One... If he really wants to stop, I will give up everything."

give up everything?What this means is... Chuxiu has not yet realized the importance of this promise, but Shen Yu has already said solemnly: "If you only have a false name and cannot marry the person I like, then this Marquis of Weiyuan is meaningless. I have already done it to revive the lintel, presumably the spirits of my father and elder brother Zaitian will also support my choice."

It was a kind of great enlightenment after a thousand sails had passed. He had been lingering with all kinds of beauties, cherry blossoms, red willows and green willows. He had enjoyed the wealth and glory of the world. A woman like no other in the world.

Shen Yu approached Chuxiu again, holding one of her catkins with his backhand, his handsome eyes were clear and firm: "The big deal is that we change our identities and start over again incognito. No chastity archway, no future fame, can stop my determination. "

He said it so casually, so firmly, and so soul-stirringly.A kind of delicate and graceful moving expression invaded in an instant, almost completely occupying Chuxiu's heart.However, it was only a little bit short, and this feeling was not vented after all, and was still controlled in a stable corner.Then, it was gradually replaced by a strange sense of desolation.

Chuxiu slowly raised his eyes and looked intently, wanting to engrave everything at this moment in the deepest part of his mind - there was once a man who made a solemn vow that he would rather give up the responsibilities and burdens on him, and would rather give up the fame and fortune that is at his fingertips, and choose to join hands with her Retreat.

She was lucky, first she had Yun Ci's affectionate dedication, and then she had Shen Yu's completely infatuated waiting.But she is unfortunate, first she lost her beloved Yun Ci, and then she failed the infatuated Shen Yu.

She has caused a man to lose his life, and she must not cause another man to lose everything.What's more, she couldn't do it and couldn't let go of her anonymity.

Chuxiu laughed, as if heartless.She stubbornly pulled her hands out of Shen Yu's palm, and made a mocking smile: "Who wants to remain anonymous? My name was given by Lord Hou. Even if I die, I will not change my name. Give up. "

This sentence is for Shen Yu to listen to, and at the same time, it is also to convince herself. "Yun Wuxin came out of Xiu", from the day Yunci gave her name, she was destined to become one with the Yun family.

Yun Ci... Since I can't stay with you in this life, all I can do is to cherish everything you have given, never leave, never give up, have no regrets, no complaints.
