good meal

Chapter 221
As usual, Huo Tainan disappeared before dawn, and when Chu Liangrao woke up, there was no warmth around him.

Sitting up, Chu Liangrao couldn't help being a little distracted. Thinking of Huo Tainan's hoarse voice last night, she felt as if she had missed something.After thinking about it, she let out an ah, then covered her mouth with her hands, her face flushed.

It's rare for a person to come back once or twice, and he just fell asleep like this, it's really... an unpleasant sight.

But thinking of Huo Tainan holding back for herself, Chu Liangrao was moved again, thinking of her previous suspicions, she already had the answer at this time, no matter whether she regrets it in the future, at least she is satisfied and happy at this moment, which is enough.

After figuring this out, Chu Liangrao's mood improved a lot.

As the days went by, the examinees in the capital became nervous, and they could hear the sound of reading loudly as they got closer to the academy.Of course, there are also people who fish in troubled waters, such as Su Tuochuan and his family with good backgrounds.

Looking at the hard-working students, Su Tuochuan was very disdainful, and said to his companions: "Just these elm bumps are still trying to gain fame, do you really think that there is no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"Brother Su is exactly what he said. This time, Brother Su will definitely win the top spot. Let me congratulate you first."

Waving his hand humbly, Su Tuochuan said, "Where is it, you really flatter me by saying that."

After a few pleasantries, they went to the restaurant to have fun together. The gentleman who dared not speak out had to turn a blind eye and focus on teaching a few promising students.

And before Qiu Wei, Huo Tainan came back. This time he was promoted to a higher level, and he had a lot more entertainment. On Chu Liangrao's side alone, there were more officials' wives coming and going. Fortunately, Chu Liangrao also As expected, it was already prepared.So she doesn't need the old lady to send someone to pass on the message, she already knows it well.

The old lady was very happy when she learned that Huo Tainan had been promoted, she turned to Chu Chaoyang privately and said, "Look, now Ah Rao's life is getting better and better, is it possible that you still want to be like this?"

Bringing up the old story again, Huo Tainan felt a little embarrassed, he said: "Mother, it's not that you don't know about the child's consideration."

"Hey." The old lady sighed, and said, "I don't know, but now Ah Rao is married, isn't there only us orphans, widows and Gu family in this palace?"

Chu Chaoyang frowned almost unrecognizably because of the origin in these words, and he said, "Mother, my child cannot let you be in danger."

"Okay, I'm old, I haven't experienced anything. When your father left, didn't I also bring you up? Don't talk about it anymore, didn't you just want to Did you get it right, why did you change your mind now?" The old lady said a little unhappily, "It's not that mothers are talking about you, you are a big man, when you should be decisive, you should be decisive."

"That's what mother taught me." Chu Chaoyang lowered his head and said, "I don't know if there is someone to choose for mother?"

"I have taken a fancy to the young ladies of several families. They are all virtuous and virtuous, with pure hearts."

"It's too simple-minded, I'm afraid it's not suitable." Chu Chaoyang reminded.

Thinking of Gu's temperament, the old lady nodded, and said: "I have seen a few sharp-tongued ones, but I'm afraid it's because of improper rules. If Yang'er is interested, why don't you see them and inquire carefully?"

Knowing that he couldn't push it away at this time, Chu Chaoyang said, "It's all up to mother's arrangement."

"If I knew this earlier, why bother to shirk and make me worry for nothing." The old lady let out a sigh of relief, leaning on the big pillow and said, "This time your grandson-in-law has won military merits, you as a father-in-law should also express it."

This actually reminded Chu Chaoyang, he said, "My child knows."

On the second day, Chu Chaoyang asked someone to invite Huo Tainan to drink tea.

Huo Tainan brought the snacks made by Chu Liangrao to see Chu Chaoyang, conveyed Chu Liangrao's greetings, and then asked about Chu Chaoyang's business.

Looking at those exquisite pastries, Chu Chaoyang thought of Chu Liangrao, his originally serious face became a little softer, and he asked, "How is Ah Rao?"

"Everything is fine." Huo Tainan replied honestly.

"Then I'm relieved. This child usually thinks far and wide. I'm also worried that this time she's so worried that she won't think about food or tea anymore."

Hearing this, Huo Tainan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: This is Mo Ruofu, the know daughter, right?

If he didn't come back, Chu Liangrao would be as worried as his father-in-law said.Fortunately, I was extra careful and came back early to make Chu Liangrao happy.

Huo Tainan, who was secretly glad in his heart, stood up and said, "My lord father-in-law, this time, my son-in-law made a mistake in his judgment."

"I've also heard about this incident." Chu Chaoyang said lightly, "I can't blame you entirely. When two tigers fight, there will be injuries. It's not easy for you to pick the right position."

Seeing that Chu Chaoyang made his situation clear in a few words, Huo Tainan felt respectful in his heart, and said, "Actually, my son-in-law doesn't plan to associate with the prime minister for a long time."

After thinking about it, Huo Tainan said: "After all, you are in the court, and sooner or later you will stand in the right position. As for Ah Rao, you don't have to worry about it. Since she married you, she will share weal and woe with you. Life is still lived by the two of you."

These words touched Huo Tainan's heart, but he still explained: "My son-in-law is not trying to alienate the prime minister, but the current situation is unclear, and there will inevitably be risks in standing too early."

Chu Chaoyang thought about it for a while, and said, "It's just you and me right now, I'm just saying that, just listen to it."

Knowing that what Chu Chaoyang said would be confidential, Huo Tainan assured him: "My son-in-law understands."

"It is well known that the current crown prince is immoral, but His Majesty has never proposed to abolish the crown prince. What do you think is the reason?"

With a solemn expression, Huo Tainan replied: "There are three reasons. One is that your majesty and the queen are husband and wife who share weal and woe, so the relationship is deeper. The second is that although the prince has done many things inappropriately, he did not Do something outrageous and unreasonable. The third is that His Majesty is also a person who cares about face."

"Good! What a way to save face." Chu Chaoyang couldn't help clapping his hands in praise, "I didn't expect you to think so clearly at such a young age."

Huo Tainan was not complacent, but quietly waited for Chu Chaoyang's next words.

"Since you know the reason, who do you think will belong to this world in the future?"

These words were both explicit and sharp, even Huo Tainan thought carefully before saying: "Although father and son love each other deeply, what His Majesty values ​​more is Jiangshan."

Chu Chaoyang nodded, appreciating Huo Tainan even more, he said: "As you said, what are brothers and sisters compared to Jiangshan Sheji? To put it bluntly, it's all because of the word "right."
