good meal

Chapter 85

I hadn't heard from him in the past year, Zhu Xiucai was worried about his daughter, and he wanted to settle down, so he said: "You keep your money for yourself, and you can buy whatever is delicious and beautiful. Over the years, I have gained some savings from traveling all over the world, but I haven’t made up my mind on what to do.” In fact, I have an idea, but Zhu Xiucai didn’t expect that the prices in Kyoto, a place where every inch of land is expensive, would be so high. Abundant money seems insignificant.

"That's all right." Mother Du said with a smile, "Now that Mr. Zhu has a job, Ding Xiang can rest assured."

Zhu Xiucai was filled with emotion, he stood up and bowed to Mama Du: "I have to thank the Princess and Mama for taking care of Ding Xiang for me. I don't know when I will be able to repay you for your kindness."

"Mr. Zhu is serious. Our princess often says, don't forget to report your kindness. Besides, Ding Xiang is a cute and sensible girl, and she has helped my mother and me a lot. She should be loved." Mother Du said with a smile.

Thinking that Chu Liangrao was younger than his own daughter but understood so many principles, Zhu Xiucai secretly admired him, straightened up and said: "I have been bothering you for a long time, I should go back and answer, please help me convey a thank you to the princess."

"It's natural, sir, go slowly." Mother Du gave a slight blessing.

Ding Xiang also saluted, watched his father leave, and then followed Mother Du back to Chu Liangrao's room.As soon as she opened the curtain and entered the room, she heard the old lady say: "The woman surnamed Lu is dignified and kind, and she seems to be a good child."

Here it comes again... Chu Liangrao took a sip of the fish soup, dipped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and thought to himself: The old lady knows a lot of things because she stays at home.

I thought that Chu Chaoyang would refuse as usual, but he never thought that this time he would listen attentively, and said: "Appearance is second, the key is to be able to relieve mother's worries."

The old lady was overjoyed when she got the reply, and looked up at Mother Qiu, who hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Lu is well-known for her beauty and wisdom, her embroidery work alone is outstanding, and I heard that she is also very good at housekeeping."

Chu Liangrao laughed when he heard this, there are not many men and women who are suitable for marriage in the capital, if this Miss Lu is really so good, will she be reduced to being a concubine in the palace?Of course, it cannot be ruled out that people of this era may deviate from her thinking. Maybe people would rather be a prince's concubine than a commoner's wife.

Presumably Chu Chaoyang also thought of this, so he said: "Let the son think about this matter, don't delay the girl's family."

Hearing Chu Chaoyang's tone, Chu Liangrao knew that his father was preparing to welcome the new spring, and felt a lump in his throat, so he hurriedly took another sip of soup to suppress it.

After hearing this, the old lady had another thought, and said with a smile: "There is no delay, no delay, small families, it is a blessing to enter this gate."

In this way, it is clear that Ganqing is a person without status, thinking about it, who would be willing to let the prostitute's daughter be inferior to others and send someone to be a concubine if he let a high-ranking family go.

Chu Chaoyang smiled, and glanced at Chu Liangrao's face from the corner of his eye, and saw her staring at the fish soup in front of her in a daze, with a look of distraught, then turned her mouth and said: "This is not urgent, see Let's see."

It was rare that some progress came to an end like this. The old lady couldn't get up, she blushed, and after calling out all the servants, she said: "It's not in a hurry, you don't want to see what age you are anymore Then if Mrs. Gu is fertile, it’s fine, but she didn’t listen to the advice and took medicine indiscriminately and hurt her body. Now who is to blame? Now that she is sick, it’s more important to have someone by your side.” After all, He gasped heavily.

Getting angry is a very risky thing for an elderly person, Chu Liangrao patted her on the back and said calmly: "Grandmother calm down, don't be angry."

The old lady pointed to Chu Chaoyang and said, "Look at you, you are not sensible like a junior." After taking the hot tea from Chu Liangrao's hand, she said, "I have already accepted the post, and the Lu family will be here tomorrow. Will come to the door, whether it is good or bad, you have to see it yourself and then make up your mind!"

"Tomorrow?" Chu Chaoyang frowned slightly. It was obvious that the old madam was cutting first and playing later, forcing himself to agree, so she said, "My son knows, and I will make a decision after seeing it tomorrow." Her expression was gloomy.

Chu Liangrao was also wondering, tomorrow...she still wants to go to the temple to petition.

Seeing that Chu Chaoyang let go, the old lady's expression softened after she made a final decision.

When the people from the Lu family entered the mansion the next day, Gu's got the news. She sneered again and again: "Okay! Good old woman! Being an aunt is really easy to bully? Mother Lin! Help me change my clothes! Mother Lin !"

After shouting for a long time, Qiuyue came over and said, "Princess Lin, Mama Lin is still ill, please help me change your clothes..."

Thinking that the swelling on Lin's mother's face hadn't gone away, Mrs. Gu also took a rest and said, "Find out that rouge-red golden Ruyi peony jacket, and then give me a fairy-looking bun to match the phoenix dress. Auspicious jewelry."

Qiuyue found the clothes nimbly and changed them for Mrs. Gu, then painted her makeup, and then prepared to comb her hair.This hair combing was a job that couldn't be rushed, and Gu Shi, who was waiting impatiently, knew in his heart that if he didn't show his wife's dignity, this time he might really have to drink someone's tea.

The anxious old lady on Gu's side did not affect the happy old lady at all. She looked up and down at the young lady in front of her, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Delicate but not glamorous, charming but not coquettish, me, the more I look at it, the more I like it." I've seen it." He ordered someone to bring a happy kit to Miss Lu, which contained a piece of emerald carved into a pomegranate, implying many children and many blessings.

Mrs. Lu took her daughter to thank her, and then sat down at the bottom to speak.

While talking, Chu Liangrao arrived, Mrs. Lu and Ms. Lu got up and saluted her again.

Mrs. Lu raised her head, and said half sincerely and half flatteringly: "There are people with such a mark in the world. Today, the little lady has opened her eyes. Before, she thought her sister was a good one, but now she is boasting." Not exported anymore."

Chu Liangrao smiled, but didn't answer, and asked Mama Du to give Miss Lu a purse containing a tael of silver.

Miss Lu took the purse, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, but she was secretly shocked, the palace was so generous, a princess would reward it with a tael of silver.Mrs. Lu was secretly happy, as long as the princess is satisfied with this matter, she feels that the future wealth will be limitless.

Seeing the purse that Chu Liangrao gave, the old lady frowned, and asked, "Someone ask, why hasn't the lord come back yet? But what's the delay?"

"I've sent someone to go. I must have been busy with business and missed the hour." Qiu's mother explained.

"Look, this son of mine is never finished when he is busy with business. I, an old woman, have to worry about my own affairs." The old lady shook her head and sighed, with a helpless expression on her face.

Mrs. Lu is a person who hears the sound and understands the elegant meaning. She understands that what the old lady said means that it is her decision. , the prince is blessed to have a mother like the old lady."

"That's right!" The curtain was lifted, and Gu Shi led Qiuyue in, "It is indeed a blessing to have a mother like the old lady, why doesn't this lady let her daughter recognize the old lady as a foster mother, so that You can also get some favors."
