good meal

Chapter 52
There was no distinction between young and old in the entertainment. Amidst the applause, Mu Mengchen beamed and raised his eyebrows to look at Chu Liangrao, only to see that the latter was very focused with his eyes wide open without blinking.Mu Mengchen laughed briskly, took the handkerchief from Xiao Zuozi and wiped his hands.

The winking Xiao Zuozi praised: "Your Highness is really overwhelming, I'm afraid no one will be able to invest so much again."

"That's natural." Mu Mengchen took it for granted. He is not good at reciting poems, but eating, drinking and having fun is definitely his specialty.

After a while, there was another burst of warm applause, and a blindfolded man casually threw arrows in his hand, and each shot drew warm applause.Even though he was blindfolded, his handsome nose bridge was still exposed, his plump lips were slightly pursed, and his facial lines were exceptionally resolute. This alone aroused the girl's heart.

"Who is this person?" Someone asked in a low voice.

Someone who knew the details replied, "Isn't this Huo Sicheng?"

Hearing that it was just a Si Cheng, some people who were interested in making friends stopped their thoughts and applauded less enthusiastically.Some daughters of famous families were even more disappointed that such a good young man was just a low-ranking official. Knowing this, the daughters of several merchants showed smiles.

After throwing the arrow in his hand, Huo Tainan took off the long belt covering his eyes, and gave up his position with a slight bow.

Soon Huo Tainan's brilliance was overshadowed by the high-status official sons behind him, and some of the wives sitting together liked each other, so they waited to go home to discuss with the head of the family.

After sitting at the table for a long time, there were not a few people around Gu's family who came to ask about the princess's marriage. Gu's only felt bored, and left before the table was over.Naturally, Chu Liangrao, who came with him, couldn't stay longer, and left together. This walk took away the hearts of most people. Although there were still laughter and laughter, the subsequent banquet was far less lively than before.

After returning to the mansion, Chu Liangrao washed off the makeup on his face and changed into light clothes before going to see the old lady.

Seeing that Chu Liangrao came back so early, the old lady guessed in her heart, took Chu Liangrao's hand and said: "In the future, grandma will bring you to visit, and I will let you have a good time."

"A-Rao still likes to stay with Grandmother." Chu Liangrao leaned on the old lady's shoulder and said, "But if Grandmother is willing to take A-Rao to broaden her horizons, A-Rao would have to be respectful rather than obedient."

"You little girl, you're so good at being cheap." The old lady lightly patted her on the shoulder, and asked Chu Liangrao what fun things she saw today.

At the first moment, Chu Liangrao thought of the blindfolded tall figure, she said with a smile: "It's much more fun."

The originally ordinary experience was told humorously and interestingly by her. The old lady heard the excitement, but she also knew that it would never be as easy as Chu Liangrao said.However, since Chu Liangrao reported good news but not bad news in front of her, he didn't want her to worry, and she should investigate this matter privately.After Chu Liangrao left, a little maid walked in and told what happened to Chu Liangrao today.

Hearing that Miss Wen's family had a quarrel with Chu Liangrao, the old lady frowned, and Qin'er couldn't help asking: "This Miss Wen is already engaged to Su Erlang, why is she still feeling sorry for the Princess?"

"Forget it, since Ah Rao doesn't want to mention it, let's pretend it didn't happen." The old lady relaxed her brows and said lightly, "A Rao handled it very well, even if outsiders listen to it, they will say that Princess Ning'an behaved properly. "

"In the past, the concubine came back after dinner, but today it's strange, and she came back soon."

The old lady snorted softly and said: "If it's not her flesh and blood, she doesn't have to worry, she doesn't seem to be the master of the house at all. Mother Qiu, go and call the princess over here."

Qiu's mother has been with the old lady for the longest time, and she is honest and old-fashioned. Hearing what the old lady said at this time, she naturally wanted to persuade her: "The princess must have something urgent to do. If she goes to look for the princess at this time, it will not be very good for the princess. ..."

After hearing this, the old lady also calmed down a bit. Indeed, Chu Liangrao just left her yard. If she asked Mrs. Gu to ask questions at this time, it would only make people feel that it was Chu Liangrao who was telling lies in front of her. .Isn't Chu Liangrao's forbearance just to avoid this misunderstanding?

But if Chu Liangrao's affairs were delayed because of this, the old lady could not sit still.

In the end, Shu'er came up with an idea: "The princess has come to pay her respects again in the past few days. When can the old lady want to ask questions? However, it is not appropriate to mention this past matter. The old lady only needs to ask the princess what she means. I don't have time to take care of the princess, why isn't the old lady beautiful?"

The old lady remembered that she said that she wanted to take a concubine for Chu Chaoyang. Before the person she liked showed her face in front of Chu Chaoyang, she asked Mrs. Gu to put the maid beside her next to Chu Chaoyang. This incident reminded the old man With Gu's temperament, if she said she wanted to deal with Chu Liangrao's affairs, she would be more active.

Thinking of this, the old lady made up her mind to mention it to Mrs. Gu.If Mrs. Gu really let go of her, it would not be impossible for her to find a glorious marriage for Ah Rao.

After Chu Liangrao got engaged, it would be much easier for him to let Chu Chaoyang take a concubine.

With a plan in mind, the old lady only thought that Gu Shi would definitely take the bait this time, but she didn't want her to force Chu Liangrao into a lot of trouble.

When Mrs. Gu came to pay her respects, the old lady told her plan in a pleasant manner.Mrs. Gu didn't know that she was a mother-in-law, and she would talk softly to her when she had something to do. If she didn't listen to her, it was not uncommon to turn her face on the spot.Responding respectfully on the face, Gu sneered in his heart, and thought to himself: Since you want Ah Rao to marry so much, then she has to choose a marriage carefully, so as to be worthy of your painstaking efforts.

After that, Mrs. Gu carefully selected men of the right age, and went from house to house every day, for fear that people would not know that she was preparing for Chu Liangrao's wedding.What Gu's doing made the old lady feel angry. Chu Liangrao is a princess, and he looks so pretty, so there is no need to go to the door to find someone like this, but it lowers the threshold of the palace.

But in any case, Mrs. Gu is really concerned about Chu Liangrao's matter, the old lady simply opened her eyes and closed her eyes, she should have endured it.

Regarding this, Chu Liangrao was very depressed. Of course, she understood Gu's intention of not wanting her to marry a good family. This initiative must be the result of the old lady's behind-the-scenes fueling.Chu Liangrao, who originally wanted to start with the old lady to avoid early marriage, had no choice but to sigh with luck, but right now she has no choice but to stand still.
