After saying that, he glanced at the door timidly, fearing in his heart that he might come back again.
"I gave birth to children for the Chu family, but I was called stupid by my husband and threatened by his daughter! Oh my god! What a miserable life I have!"
There were cries and cries in the main hall, and the servants did not dare to approach for fear of being implicated.
He stayed in her room for several days, sulking and feeling stuffy. She initially sent someone to call for Chu Yi, but Chu Yi ignored him and just asked someone to call for the doctor. He cried and made a fuss again.
, she asked Butler Liang to buy a coffin for her, and also hired someone to make mourning clothes for her three children. Half of the people in Kyoto came to watch the He family's commotion, and Chu Yi gave his subordinates a death order.
, the eldest lady's words that day were not allowed to be spread, so outsiders did not know that Chu Yunjing was refusing to marry, and they just thought that the eldest lady, who had been away from home for more than ten years, was having trouble with her stepmother.
The matter of rejecting the marriage was not followed up, and she didn't think about actually rejecting it. She really didn't have enough brains to chop it off. It was originally just for clichés, so as time went by, she turned to other movies.
She didn't care what happened to Mrs. He, she just thought about what her father said that day. She also asked Si Yu in the past few days. Si Yu was in the house at the time and didn't know where she went. She only remembered that she seemed very happy when she came back.
It was a reward from a noble person, but I don't even remember who took it out.
She thought that this reward was probably given by the queen. She had entered the palace when she was five years old, and her memory was a little hazy. She only remembered that she had entered an extremely luxurious house when she was a child, and she couldn't remember anything else.
Chu Yunjing came back for a few days and was supposed to go to the Chu family's old house to visit her grandmother. He was crying sick every day and had no intention of letting her go to visit her grandmother. He was even too lazy to care about her. He only hoped that she would make as many mistakes as possible. And he
Dad is busy with official duties every day and seldom interferes with matters at home.
If it hadn't been for Sun De's reminder, she might have forgotten that she still had a grandmother alive. She thought that etiquette should always be thorough. She dug through the pile of gifts brought back from Yongzhou and dug out a box of red ginseng.
Satisfied, he handed it to Si Yu and put in the exquisite silver incense burner, along with a box of unopened phoenix marrow incense.
She has always loved incense, and Yongzhou is famous for various famous incense. It is often used as royal tribute. Even officials have difficulty using this phoenix marrow incense. She thought that this gift was valuable enough to be used. She also sealed it.
After getting a few big red seals, Chu Yao's family lived in the Chu family's old house. Most of Chu Yao's children were married and had children. There must be children at home during the first month of the year. They went through all the etiquette of being an aunt and took care of them.
The two girls got into the carriage and drove away quickly.
Today is the 19th day of the first lunar month. After fifteen years, it will be over, but the feeling of the new year will not diminish until the first lunar month. This is also a manifestation of the prosperity of the country. The people live and work in peace and contentment and pay attention to the festival.
There were two long streets separated from the palace of the Vice Minister and the old residence. At this time, the carriage was walking on Longcheng Street. From the name, you can tell that it is Yu Street. This is the main road outside the city that leads directly to the palace. This is where they took it on the day they returned to Beijing.
There were still many red buildings on both sides of the street, and the crowds were bustling. Suddenly, I heard a gong shouting on the street: "Dear guests from the south and the north, let's have a big banquet tomorrow night in the clouds! My distinguished guests keep dancing and music, and I would like to invite you all
Dear guests, don’t miss it!”
Following the shouts one after another, many people gathered here to join in the fun.
Chu Yunjing was also attracted by the shouting. He opened the window and poked his head out, only to see a crowd instantly surrounding the gong-beater.
‘Come from the clouds’! It’s such a big plaque. The store is three stories high, and the building is covered in vermilion. The windows on the first floor are closed, and there are some warblers and swallows leaning against the windows upstairs, all watching the excitement on the street.
Chu Yunjing only glanced at it and knew that this was probably a place with smoke and willows. Opening a red building on the main street? This owner must be not simple.
She curiously looked at the colorful gauze clothes upstairs. They were all graceful women with beautiful faces and charming faces. Their every frown and smile captivated the soul. They were "drunk to death in gentle country, and even ghosts are charming"!
She felt someone was staring at her, and when she met that person's eyes, she saw the charming man upstairs smiling at her, so charming and beautiful, but she didn't reply and closed the curtain.
Chu Yunjing recalled the beauty's gaze, as if he knew himself. Her gaze was very clear, which was different from the charming and silky-eyed women beside her. It was clear and somewhat sad.
Is this the sophistication of these women? A casual look can make people feel pity, even women can make them feel affection, Chu Yunjing thought to himself.
However, it took only a cup of tea to arrive at the Chu family's old house, and after receiving the general message, I went straight to Mrs. Chu's yard.
After all, it is the ancestral residence of the Chu family. Most of the buildings are fashionable in the previous dynasties and are much larger than ordinary official residences. Mrs. Chu's yard is in the most upright position in the backyard, showing the most noble status of the family.
He walked quickly into the house and bowed politely: "Xiao Jing has met my grandmother."
"Xiao Jing! You are here, come on, come on, no need to say hello, come to grandma and let grandma take a good look. Grandma misses you!"
Mrs. Chu was very kind and waved to her with a smile on her face.
Mrs. Chu carefully guarded the honor of the Chu family all her life, and did not allow her children and grandchildren to go on the wrong trip, even if it cost someone, she was the first to object to the Chu family when Chu Yunjing went to Yongzhou.
Raising children and grandchildren with illegitimate surnames will harm the Chu family's face. These are the old lady's exact words. She loves her children and grandchildren on the premise of not harming the interests of the Chu family.
Thanks also to Chu Yi for relenting in the end, Chu Yunjing has been able to live a good life for these twelve years, otherwise she might not be able to survive today in this hypocritical and famous family that cannibalizes people.
She moved forward knowingly: "Xiao Jing misses her grandma too."
"Grandma has been waiting for you for many days, eagerly waiting to see when you would come over."
She thought of the bad things going on at home these days and lowered her head: "It's... my granddaughter was negligent."
Old Mrs. Chu sighed: "Hey, I know that although He is not decent, her family background can help your father by giving birth to children for your father. She has worked hard and accomplished a lot, and she has not made any serious mistakes. She turned a blind eye.
This day will go on if I close my eyes. I have to follow the rules and follow my eldest son. I can't take care of your father. He is alone... After all, he has to take care of the family affairs. Just think about it.
I will never live with them again."
When a woman becomes a widow, she has to remain a widow for her deceased husband for the rest of her life, but when a man becomes a widower, he has to remarry and remarry. After all, this evil world is unfair to women.
Chu Yunjing looked lonely: "Well, I understand. Grandma, don't worry about me. They can't bully me when I'm older."
"Okay, please remember not to be brave. When you enter the royal family, you should do what you should do and say what you should say. Doing the wrong thing will be a huge disaster for our family."
Mrs. Chu has followed the rules her whole life, and she knows that all her glory is given by the Heavenly Family, which holds the number of lives in the world in its hands.
"You just promised me, do you hear me?"
"Okay, I understand, grandma, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you just said these words to me?"
Listening to the instructions over and over again, now that Chu Yunjing has boarded this marriage ship, she can only be forced to be an obedient person and be at the mercy of others. This is not her original intention.
"I still have a lot of things I want to tell you. I'm afraid that my child will be bullied and people will say that there is no one to teach and no one to love him."
Mrs. Chu looked at her with a loving look in her eyes, and she thought she would rather drown in this tenderness.
Her usual trick is to pretend to be sick and weak, to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. She can't pretend to be in front of these people who treat her sincerely. Although she is full of thorns, she also longs for someone who can really put all the thorns in her body.
Smooth out.
"I have a grandmother, a grandfather, and an aunt who love me. I don't care about others."
Chu Yunjing pursed her lips sadly. Over the years, she had been bullied a lot because of her life experience, and she had long become invulnerable to rumors and unwarranted bullying. But the softest part of her, what she longed for most was not these favors.
Drowning?
"When you were in Yongzhou, your aunt must have given you a lot of advice. Just listen to your grandmother's words. You did not participate in the three books and six rituals, except for the last personal greeting. It was because of him that King Qi did not come back on the day you got married.
My younger brother, the Sixth Prince, will attend the ceremony for my brother. When the time comes, you will just follow the arrangements assigned by the palace. I will give you Aunt An and a few girls beside me as a dowry. Aunt An is an honest person and handles things properly. You will encounter obstacles in the future.
There are many places, so just trust Aunt An. I heard that King Qi also sent people back. King Qi’s people were all killed on the battlefield, and they will definitely protect you, but you can’t trust them completely, and don’t make too many guesses.
.The man you want to marry is the most upright man in my Dafeng. Before you meet, your in-laws are all in vain. There will always be a chance to see you in the future. You must learn to take the opportunity to consolidate your status!"
Just because she was going to marry a prince, if she was marrying a young man from an ordinary family, Mrs. Chu might not be so attentive to her.
"I'm going to have a wedding with the Sixth Prince?" This news was something she had never heard before.
The old lady explained: "It's just a proxy greeting. Besides, the Sixth Prince is only ten years old. After paying homage to the ancestors of heaven and earth, it is considered complete. The etiquette of my Dafeng has always been like this, but there are very few who actually use it. You will have no power in the future."
, learn to be more diplomatic in everything, and don't get into trouble. They are both powerful and powerful. Just live your own life in your house and don't get involved in any bad things."
She is indeed powerless, the Chu family is in a low official position, she and Chu Yi are at odds with each other, and her natal family may not be able to help her gain a foothold. This is such a bad thing, and her natal family cannot rely on her, so she can only be a lowly person.
.
She came to do two things today, and after hearing these, she was considered to have earned money.
"Grandma, did I meet the Queen when I was a child? Recently, I have been thinking about some things from the past, and I vaguely remember that I seemed to have met her."
Mrs. Chu nodded: "Yes, your eldest aunt took you to the palace on the day of your father's wedding to Mr. He."
Old Mrs. Chu gave birth to a daughter and two sons. The eldest aunt of the Chu family married a general and was a cousin of the current queen. Later, the general died on the battlefield and she remained a widow in Qingyun Nunnery for many years.
She wondered: "Auntie? Shouldn't she have been in charge of my father's wedding?"
