good meal

Chapter 201
Standing up, Mrs. Gu bowed to the old lady with a solemn expression: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law is not a blind person, not to mention that my daughter-in-law has always treated Ah Rao as her own, so she won't treat her badly."

What she said was high-sounding, but the old lady didn't believe it at all, she just nodded perfunctorily, thinking in her heart that if something happened, she would have to come forward, and it would be better to rely on her herself if she didn't make any troubles.

The two sat with their own thoughts, and they couldn't taste the tea in their hands, and the atmosphere became awkward for a while.

Fortunately, Chu Liangrao didn't make them wait any longer. Chu Liangrao and Huo Tainan followed Chu Chaoyang and walked in amidst the servants' communication.The old lady almost stood up excitedly, and shouted: "My dear grandson, you are back, come quickly and let grandma have a look."

Chu Liangrao's heart warmed up, but she did not forget the rules because of the old lady's enthusiasm, and bowed in turn. Then Chu Liangrao walked up to the old lady and said softly, "Grandmother, Ah Rao is back."

Stretching out her hand to hold Chu Liangrao's wrist, the old lady nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."

Huo Tainan, who was ignored, didn't feel embarrassed, he sat down gracefully under Chu Chaoyang's signal, his eyes fell on Chu Liangrao softly, the indelible pampering in his eyes was seen by all the discerning people present up.

After asking for warmth, the old lady spoke to Huo Tainan.

Huo Tainan cheered up and replied respectfully.

Seeing that he spoke well and behaved generously, the old lady was even more satisfied.

Because the old lady was asking questions, Mrs. Gu couldn't intervene, so she could only sit with a smile on her face, occasionally laughing a few words in a harmonious laughter.

Although Chu Liangrao didn't look at Gu Shi, she also felt Gu Shi's discomfort, and couldn't help worrying, this stepmother has always been unreliable, so she won't take the opportunity to make things difficult for Huo Tainan today, right?But after thinking about it, what's wrong with making things difficult, anyway, I'm on Huo Tainan's side, even if I feel a little wronged on the face, they usually live their own way, so there won't be any more intersections.

As if seeing Chu Liangrao's worry, Huo Tainan gave Chu Liangrao a reassuring smile.

Chu Liangrao smiled back, his eyes rippling like waves.

Taking into account the small interaction between the two, the old lady joked with a smile: "You young couple, do you still want to flirt with each other while sitting face to face?"

"How could..." Chu Liangrao lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Still shy." The old lady laughed.

Seeing the right moment, Gu interjected, "Mother, isn't this a newlywed, it's inevitable that there will be deep affection."

Hearing this, the old lady frowned.

Chu Liangrao didn't know that Mrs. Gu was saying that they were not fresh, so he said with a smile: "I made my mother laugh."

But Huo Tainan looked back and became honest.

Seeing that Chu Liangrao didn't reply, Mrs. Gu wanted to say more, but she held back and asked about Chu Liangrao's daily life like an elder.Chu Liangrao simply stated that he was doing well, but Gu said with a worried look: "You child keeps everything in your heart and doesn't say anything. You are the most picky on weekdays. Where can you eat when you get there? it is good?"

These words said that Chu Liangrao was picky on the surface, but secretly satirized Huo Tainan's shabbiness. If Gu's expression was not in place, the old lady really couldn't help but want to make a fuss.But she just said in a deep voice: "What is the daughter-in-law talking about? I watched Ah Rao grow up, and I didn't know that Ah Rao would still be picky?"

Huo Tainan cupped his hands and replied: "Let my mother worry too much, my lady's appetite is not bad."

Gu Shi, who was directly refuted, twitched the corners of her mouth, showing an unattractive smile, and was about to say something, when Chu Chaoyang, who had been listening all the time, said, "A Rao rarely comes back, if you want to eat anything, just tell the cook to go." Just do it."

The concern in these words was in stark contrast to Gu's words, and Chu Liangrao responded, "My daughter will definitely not be polite."

Chu Chaoyang smiled and shook his head, but didn't say much.

And Chu Liangrao, who was the protagonist this time, didn't say much anymore, and let the old lady talk to Huo Tainan, she sat on the side and listened with a smile, admiring Huo Tainan's witty words.The old lady was also grinning from ear to ear, the unhappiness caused by Gu's episode has long since dissipated.

After talking for a while, Chu Liangrao and Huo Tainan went to the ancestral hall to worship.

Facing the memorial tablet of Chu Liangrao's birth mother, Yu Shi, Huo Tainan solemnly knelt down, and his respect was self-evident.

Chu Liangrao was moved in his heart, and stretched out his hand to hold Huo Tainan's hand, and Huo Tainan also held her hand, the warm current in the two people's hearts was passed on in the palm of their hands, and a feeling of affection permeated between them, like a layer of pink mist .

Glancing at each other, Chu Liangrao and Huo Tainan let go of their hands tacitly, and burned incense together, this is considered a ceremony.

The next thing is to have a meal. This meal is not insignificant. The old lady has put a lot of thought into receiving Chu Liangrao and Huo Tainan. A table full of dishes almost took over the sea, land and air. Although this ostentation is not as good as a full banquet of Han and Han , but it still shocked Chu Liangrao.

With only a few of them, it would be a problem if they could use up one-tenth of the dishes on this table.

Chu Liangrao felt sorry for the waste, but he still had a big appetite to save face, and Huo Tainan was also very face-to-face, he would let people pick and taste the dishes that the old lady said were good.

The more the old lady looked at this grandson-in-law, the more satisfied she became, and the result was that Huo Tainan ate a lot this meal.

Chu Liangrao felt distressed looking at it, and turned her head to order Zhu'er to make a cup of barley tea for Huo Tainan to digest.

After lunch, it was logical that Chu Liangrao should go back, but the old lady was reluctant to let her granddaughter leave so early, so she left them to talk again.Chu Liangrao didn't leave until the old lady couldn't stand it anymore and showed a tired look.

Coming out of the old lady's room, Chu Liangrao and Huo Tainan bid farewell to Chu Chaoyang again. As for Mrs. Gu who was on a "lunch break", they couldn't see each other anymore, so they had to leave a letter for the servants at the door and returned home.

Hearing that Chu Liangrao was gone, Gu Shi sat up from the bed.

Mama Lin said: "Wangfei, it's okay to see you."

Glancing at Mama Lin, Gu said, "Do you think I'm avoiding her?"

"Where will it be?" Saying this, Mother Lin thought in her heart, isn't that the case?

Mrs. Gu would not admit such a shameful thing, so she just explained in a forced way: "Is there any difference? She never regarded me as a mother. If Ah Rao behaves improperly, it will only make people look down on her."

Mother Lin hurriedly applauded the venue and praised: "It's still the princess who is thoughtful."

Mrs. Gu nodded appreciatively, and said: "After all, I am an elder, so I have to think about the long-term." Then, she frowned, and said in disgust, "Mom can see today, the eyeballs of Master Jun Ma Never left Ah Rao's body."

"Isn't that right, even the old slave felt pimples when he saw it." Mother Lin said.

"Hey, young people are like this. They try to be fresh in everything, but how long has it been?" Mrs. Gu shook her head and said, "I really don't know what the prince thinks, picking such a frivolous son-in-law, my No mother can stand it anymore."

It's about the prince, Mother Lin didn't dare to say more, she just said: "Princess, I'm bothering you."

"It's not like I don't worry about it. It's not like you didn't see it. I was told by my mother that I only cared about her well-being and food. This mansion really doesn't take me seriously." Gu's displeased said.

Mother Lin flatteringly said: "There will never be such a thing. Why should the concubine be as knowledgeable as the old lady? She usually doesn't leave the door, so how can she know the rules?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu looked at Mama Lin with feigned annoyance and said, "What are you talking about, mother is from a famous family after all, if she doesn't know the rules, who would know?"

Where does Lin's mother not know that Gu's is ironic?She smiled and said, "What the concubine teaches is that the old slave has overstepped the rules."

"But my mother's behavior is not right now." Gu Shi sighed and said, "She has always valued face, so don't let the face of the palace be folded in her own hands!"

Mama Lin couldn't understand what she said. Could it be that the concubine wanted to do something to the old lady?
Over the years, Mrs. Gu has done a lot of things against the old lady, but they all ended without a problem. Now the old lady has not only taken over her housekeeping power, but also targeted her everywhere. It is no wonder that the princess hates the old lady so much.

It's just that this time, what shameful things will you let yourself do?

Ms. Lin felt a little impatient. Based on her understanding of the princess, the princess was someone who ordered people to do things and insisted on making people willing to do them. It seemed that this time she had to be worried again.

But after all, she is an elderly person, and Mother Lin also wants to live a good life for two days in peace, so how can she be so worried and frightened?For a while, Mother Lin was a little vacillating, so she didn't recall Shi's words.

Seeing that Mama Lin was actually dull, Mrs. Gu guessed her mood, smiled and said, "Why doesn't Mama speak?"

Lin's mother lowered her face and said: "Princess, the old lady's housekeeper has been around for a while, how much is the account of this mansion?"

"There's nothing to gain, it's nothing more than living on the laurels." Gu Shi said, "Currently, Manager Qu doesn't take care of the account books, so it's really not easy to check the accounts, hey."

Dare to put the idea on the account book, this is easy, mother Lin answered: "Princess, although steward Qu doesn't care about the account, but the steward who manages the account may not listen to the concubine."

"Mom's words are so naive. In this mansion, the most unreliable thing is people's hearts." With a sigh, Gu said, "I heard that my mother will not avoid Qiu's mother in everything. Is this true or false?"

Mother Lin was stunned for a moment, and said: "This old slave has never heard of it, why don't I ask about it?"

"Yes." Gu Shi nodded and waved his hand, "You go, if you find out anything, you don't need to reply to me, you can make up your own mind."

This is clearly because she knew the reason why she said that. Mother Lin couldn't help but feel depressed, but she still responded and retreated.
