"She should be in charge, but she had just lost her husband at the time and was still in the period of mourning. Yu Li couldn't go to the wedding banquet of the couple. Her husband is the queen's cousin, so I simply asked for an order to take you to the palace to pay her respects."
Chu Yunjing asked: "The queen likes me?"
Old Mrs. Chu chuckled and recounted in retrospect: "Your eldest aunt asked you to salute, but you went and stared at the Queen's phoenix crown and completely forgot to salute. If it had been someone else, you would have been punished for your treason, Queen. Mercy, I don’t care about you because you are a little baby. She asks you why you are looking at her, and you say she is beautiful. She asks you that others are afraid of her and dare not look directly at her, why do you dare? You say that the queen in heaven should be the first to look at her. Only when someone knows how beautiful she is can you praise her. If you don't even know her true appearance, then everything you say is a false compliment. Your aunt was very scared, but the queen just smiled and asked if you would like to When I come to her in the future, guess what you said?"
As she listened to the words, she became more and more sluggish, her face turned red with embarrassment, because of her childhood ignorance. She was really brave at that time, and she wanted to go back and beat herself to death.
No wonder her father said that that day, he was mocking her! She was still so confident.
She was not ashamed of how she used to please others, but she felt sorry for the orphan girl back then. People were always shy, so she had to flatter her. Fortunately, her thighs were big enough.
She shook her head: "Oh my God! I am really childish and ignorant. Now my granddaughter is going to die of embarrassment! I guess I said yes."
This was the fundamental reason why she was given the marriage. She finally found out the reason. It was so shocking. After all, the queen didn't really like her. She just wanted to fulfill the promise she made. Otherwise, how could she marry her seven-year-old brother? People who are 20 years old are not favored yet.
The old lady laughed, took her hand on her knee, and they sat side by side, very lovingly.
"After all, if you are just a little baby, no one will care about you. Just forget it. From now on, you can do whatever you want. If you don't know the rules in the future, it will be a big sin."
Chu Yunjing felt regretful: "Of course, I will behave myself."
The old lady always sticks to the word "rules", but she needs to be reminded not to be as ignorant of the rules as her mother? Chu Yunjing thought to herself.
"Grandma, I still have something to ask you. How did my mother die back then? Is it related to others?"
Mrs. Chu replied without thinking, as if Yuan Jingchu's death was not hidden: "Your mother was depressed for many years, which caused the relationship between their husband and wife to become worse and worse, and finally died of depression. Your father was very sad at the time, and it took him a long time to get over it. "Xiao Jing, grandma hopes you understand that you should not miss the deceased too much. If you become obsessed with trivial matters like your mother, you will lose more than you gain."
Chu Yi is a very pedantic person. He will not lose his scholarly character for the sake of power and status. Naturally, he does not look down on those who flatter him. It is probably for this reason that he looks down on his eldest daughter. He thinks she is too clever. , but Chu Yunjing only felt that he was too stubborn and that not knowing how to adapt was tantamount to seeking his own way out. He was really worried about how he got to the official position he has today.
"My father? Sad? Does he have a good relationship with my mother?"
She always felt that there was no affection between her parents. Maybe Chu Yi really liked her mother and that's why he married her. Otherwise, how could a noble clan master marry a merchant's daughter.
Old Mrs. Chu sighed: "Hey, your father insisted on marrying your mother despite the opposition of all the Chu family members. I know my son best. He has a stubborn temper and is determined to find his way to the end. Knowing that the Yuan family
He had a purpose... Hey! Just let him go. After getting married, it was good at first, but later on the two of them never got along with each other."
She lowered her eyes and said nothing. She got what she wanted and didn't want to stay any longer.
After being silent for a long time, Chu Yunjing said: "After staying for a long time, it's time for my granddaughter to leave. I came in a hurry today and brought some gadgets from Yongzhou to my grandma. Don't dislike it. My granddaughter can't serve her under her knees, so she can only take it with her.
These will make up for it. Grandma will convey the New Year's money I gave to my nieces and nephews for me, and my granddaughter will not bother my aunt and sisters-in-law today."
The old lady did not persuade him to stay: "Okay, you can go ahead. If you have any shortages, just ask someone to give you instructions. I will take care of things with your uncle's house."
Her relationship with Mrs. Chu can only be said to be just a little bit, not much. The relationship between Potian's ancestors and grandsons should be done. She respects the old lady, and the old lady is happy with her. That's enough.
.
After leaving the old house, she stopped under the entrance hall and looked around at the bustling market and bustling shops. Suddenly, a thought occurred in her heart, and her eyes suddenly brightened.
She raised her face, stretched out her white jade-like tender fingers to one side, and smiled at the corner of her lips. Her noble look made passers-by stop and want to take a few more glances at Fangze. She said with some pride: "Come Si Yu! Help me, girl."
Get in the BMW, we're going to do something big, let's take a look at our store!"
Si Yu said "Hey" with a smile, took her arm and got into the carriage.
After coming to Kyoto these days, she actually forgot about the store Yuan Ting gave her. She was impressed by the location of the store, so she told the driver to take a small road and take the back street of Yunjianlai.
There were few people on the path, so I walked at a constant speed all the way.
Suddenly, the coachman pulled the horse's rein tightly, and the woman in the car was suddenly stopped and shaken. She was still in shock and heard something said by the coachman outside.
"We are from the Master Chu's family. From which family is this person coming? Can we make way?"
It turned out that he was facing a carriage in front of him. The back street was so narrow that only one carriage could pass. Someone had to give way.
The groom on the other side also replied: "His Royal Highness Prince Huai is in my car. He has something to do when he goes out today. Please give way."
"Let's turn around from this alley!" Chu Yunjing said leisurely.
She was only one step away from the most powerful prince of the Great Feng Dynasty. Unknown to her, the moment she passed him by, King Huai looked at her carriage with a sinister look.
She wondered in her heart why King Huai chose to go down a side street instead of walking on the grand road. She immediately asked the parking man to stop at the corner.
After waiting for a while, she guessed that King Huai had gone far away. She opened the window and looked. He got out of the car and walked straight into the back door of a shop. She looked around and saw that the building was red. It was coming from the clouds!
The dignified King Huai actually entered the house through the back door? In broad daylight, under the guise of doing something.
"Is it the place where smoke and willows come from the clouds?"
The carriage started to move, and Chu Yunjing knocked on the door and signaled to the coachman.
"Miss, the girls inside are all prostitutes. Only princes and ministers can go there. Commoners like me can't go there."
It makes sense for a prince to go to Wase to talk things over, and it also makes sense to go and watch dances and music... She didn't know Prince Huai as a person, so she didn't dare to make random guesses. She just listed the possibilities one by one. There was an idea in her mind.
Zooming in, maybe King Huai is the mastermind behind Yunjianlai. If true, then King Huai is using this method to form cliques for personal gain. Sure enough, men know men best.
She visited several shops in the afternoon. They were all in good locations and the customer flow was smooth. There were four silk and satin shops connected together on East Street. There were many customers on East Street, but her own silk and satin shops did not have many customers. Maybe it was because of the future.
After reform, it is still the same as before. Kyoto has always been the most fashionable place in Dafeng. Without new styles, it will naturally not attract Kyoto women.
She thought maybe it would be better to do some other business with these four houses.
Seeing that the day of getting married was approaching, dowries were piled up on carts, and the nuns in the palace and Aunt An sent by Mrs. Chu were all sent to the Chu family. Chu Yunching learned almost everything at once, and the palace taught him
The well-behaved grandma was very satisfied with her.
She didn't have many expectations, and she didn't have the shyness of her younger daughter before she got married. She just wanted to live her life differently and change her identity.
Mrs. He was more excited than she was. These days, many wives from official families came to visit her home. Ms. He was dressed in gold and silver to receive guests every day. She was praised by those ladies for being so obedient. Mrs. He was so happy that she wanted to go to heaven. She always praised her when she met everyone.
The three children are extremely famous in the name of the princess's mother.
Especially when her eldest aunt came, Mr. He took out all the precious things in the house, and even went through her dowry, taking out all the beautiful and valuable things and putting them on the table to show off. Chu Yunjing only felt that Mr. He
Interesting, don't argue with her and just let her take whatever she wants. Chu Yi refused and scolded Mr. He that night and punished her to take out the dowry and wipe it carefully for several days. Mr. He wiped the shock for several days.
For a few days, she never imagined that there were so many treasures hidden in the box. Even though she had been in Gaomen all her life, she had rarely seen them. She felt aggrieved at first, but later she wiped them with bright eyes.
The Shilang's Mansion had never had so many guests before. The people Chu Yi had offended would line up at the city gate, and who would come to pay attention to his home?
Chu Wei studied hard every day, and the siblings rarely met each other, mostly to say hello and salute. Chu Yunxi was afraid of her, and would hide from her even if he saw her from a distance.
Chu Li actually likes this eldest sister, maybe because she always gives him delicious food. They often play in the yard. Chu Yunjing is also willing to take this younger brother, but when He sees it, he always treats the younger brother with a look of panic.
She took him away, fearing that Chu Yunjing would hurt her son, and said some curse words in Chu Li's ears while walking.
She subdued the He family, and Chu Yi didn't bother to care about her. Her life in the Shilang's Mansion was considered leisurely. Although most of the family's hearts were not in the same place, they were still happy.
The whole family seems to be scheming, but in fact they are all people who show their emotions and anger, and collectively they are not as thoughtful as Chu Yunjing.
Spring bamboo shoots sprout, everything comes to life, the sparrows return, winter clothes fade away, old coats are put into the bottom of the box, and the warm breeze comes. It is the most comfortable season of the year. Spring is a good time for weddings and vacations. Many newlyweds are paying their respects, and the Chu family is also joining in the fun!
It was a sunny day, and the news about the married daughter of the Minister's Mansion had already spread to every corner of Kyoto. Many people had gathered early. The whole house was full of joy, and the green tiles and red walls seemed to be glowing with light. The servants got the most rewards this day, for their hard work
He also worked very hard, running in and out.
The boudoir was filled with the Chu family's daughter-in-law, and all the family members of the Chu family's married daughter were here. Chu Yunjing didn't recognize all of them, so he just followed Aunt An's instructions to greet them one by one.
Chu Yunjing sat in front of the dressing table, letting those who combed her hair and put on makeup play with it. In the mirror, her fair and delicate face, black and red lips, and vermilion flowers blooming on her forehead added a bit of softness to her eyes.
