Chapter 404, the son of the first branch
Xiaochu sat in the hall as a housekeeper. Chu Huaixian asked Duoshou to tell her, "Please ask the young lady to prepare things for the new house for Mr. De. The old lady is not in good health. Ordinary things are enough."
"Ah?" Xiaochu opened his mouth and gritted his teeth and scolded Chu Huaide: "It's ridiculous!" Duoshou looked carefully at Xiaochu's face and reminded him, "Young lady, did you hear that?"
Xiaochu closed his mouth and said, "I heard it. Go and tell the prince that I prepared it for him." When Duoshou was about to leave, he was stopped by Xiaochu: "Shh, you are also old enough to get married?"
A long-lived salute: "The little one hasn't been married yet." Originally, she had married a group of family members after the Spring Festival, but now if Mrs. Chu goes west, everyone has to wait.
Xiaochu smiled and said, "The prince told me that Jincai had a marriage with Chunhen a long time ago. Now the children have all of them. Jin Xi'er refers to marriage, and there are also children. You and Duofu are now big, and you also want to take advantage of the marriage. Don't worry." Happy birthday, he lay on the ground and kowtowed a few heads, blushed and said, "I'm not in a hurry."
When he went out for a long life, Xiaochu sneered and scolded Chu Huaide: "He has one, and he is still so anxious." Chen's sister-in-law must be sad, right?
Just thinking about this, the housekeeper came in from the outside: "There is another imperial doctor in the palace. Madam, please ask the young lady to give a reward." Xiaochu gave it to him and focused on family affairs.
The third lady came in and curled her lips: "Do you know Wilder's new joke?" When his grandmother was ill, he was eager to marry his aunt. Xiaochu and the third lady are the mother's family, and sometimes they can say a few words from the bottom of their hearts. He also said happily, "I'm too anxious to marry a wife." Thinking that Chen seemed to be unsuitable, Xiaochu said to Mrs. Chu, "Aunuch, shall we persuade our sister-in-law in the evening?"
The third lady also felt that she should persuade: "I came to see you, just want to ask you to go with me. Such a thing can be tolerated at home, and the third master will be like this in the future. I have no place to reason.
Xiao Chuyi smiled and said, "That's right." Seeing the third lady whisper, "I just came here and saw several officials talking. This group of people said that a new yard was opened on West Street and they wanted to invite Huaixian to go at night." Chu Huaixian is a good husband praised by everyone, and he is good to Xiaochu even if he doesn't take a concubine. However, I still don't feel at ease in my original intention, mainly because the environment is really bad.
When Chu Huaixian is outside, he will inevitably accompany people to the brothel to drink flower wine. Chu Huaixian loves Xiaochu. He is not afraid of Xiaochu. He will not let him come back early. He will turn away the people who will come back early when he socialize.
Today, there was such a thing as Chu Huaide, which gave a wake-up call to the young Xiaochu and Mrs. Chu San. Mrs. Chu San heard that Chu Huaixian was going out for a drink, so she quickly came to tell Xiaochu.
In the small original heart, he was also sad for Chen because of Chu Huaide. After being sad for Chen, of course, it is himself who is sad. In Mrs. Chu's heart, she has been on guard against Chu Huaixian in such a thing.
The two were talking, and Duo Shou came in again: "The prince doesn't eat at home at night." Mrs. Chu gave Xiaochu a winch, which means, how about it? She heard it right.
Xiaochu promised Duo Shou with a smile. After dealing with it, he said to the third lady alone, "Third aunt, let's persuade Chen's brothers and sisters tomorrow. Tonight, I feel tired and want to take a break."
"It's common to go out to eat. Don't be angry with the prince about this." Mrs. Chu said that she left.
Xiaochu had dinner alone and asked someone to call Brother Yu to come. He whispered to him, "My father is not at home, and my mother is a little afraid. Can you come back with me to find my father?"
"Then I'll accompany my mother," Brother Yu said, and Xiaochu covered his smile: "Of course it's good, but it's late, and you should also invite your father to come back to rest, right? My great-grandmother is ill. Why is my father still going out?
Old Mrs. Chu came to see the imperial doctor and felt that she was fine these days. Brother Yu heard it and said to his mother, "Father, there must be something to do when he goes out."
"Whwww you go, good son," Xiaochu said in a long voice: "Otherwise, I'll go to Brother Ji." Brother Yu said quickly, "Then I'll go."
Brother jumped in from outside the room: "Where are you going? I'm going too. Otherwise," Brother Ji said, "I'm going to tell my grandparents." Xiaochu knocked on his head: "Let's go, but listen to your mother."
The two sons nodded together: "Let's say whatever mother asks us to say." Xiaochu smiled and pulled his two sons out. Sun Erhai had been preparing a car outside for a long time. When he saw Xiaochu and the two little princes coming out, Sun Erhai was his old habit. Whenever he felt that Xiaochu should not go out, he looked up to the sky and muttered, "It's so late, and he made his own decision."
Xiaochu and his sons got into the car and called Sun Erhai: "Get the car quickly." Sun Erhai also obediently.
When I came to West Street, I saw a restaurant with brand-new lanterns. Just downstairs, I smelled the fragrance of powder upstairs. Sun Erhai muttered again, "It's wrong for me to come to such a place. It's even more wrong to bring the two little princes. Go back, the prince is going to beat you."
Xiaochu called him: "Go in and quietly inquire to see if the prince is there." Sun Erhai said to himself again and obediently went in. After a while, he took Duofu out of the car and said before saying, "Lord Cai, the governor of Henan, will leave Beijing tomorrow. Today, I specially asked the prince to talk about it. When Lord Cai was in Beijing, he knew his son.
Two little princes came down from the car. Xiaochu gave it to Duofu: "The little prince wants to find his father. You can take him in." Duofu was very embarrassed and replied truthfully: "This is a brothel. Young lady, you poor slave. What do you see when you bring the little prince in? The young man wants to beat the slave board."
"I'll go by myself," Xiaochu got off the bus and had to go in. Duofu quickly stopped him: "I'm going to invite the prince down. You wait here." After a while, he came down: "The prince asked the two little princes to go up."
Xiaochu is still hesitating: "It's not good here. They are still young and can't go up." Xiaochu, who just said that he would let his sons go up, was just to scare the little ones.
Brother Yu and Brother Ji looked at the glory here and liked it very much: "Mother, let's go to see my father." The two pulled Duofu: "Let's go, let's go."
After the two people went up, there was no news. Xiaochu waited impatiently and called Sun Erhai, "Go up and have a look. It's better if you don't leave. The little princes are going to bed."
Sun Erhai grinned. You always think of this now. What have you done?
He slowly came upstairs and saw Duofu smiling at the door of the elegant room. Sun Erhai also came over and asked in a low voice, "At the young lady's place, the prince didn't say it." Duofu sneered: "I have nothing to say, so I only laugh when I see you. I know that sooner or later you will come up to ask."
Seeing inside through the curtain, three or five adults sat next to a table of wine. Brother Yu and Brother Ji sat next to Chu Huaixian left and right, eating happily with chopsticks in their hands.
It's not like Duofu said that he can't come in, but he is sitting at the bottom of a line of music tricks, playing and singing new songs. They are neatly dressed and have correct postures.
Sun Erhai was relieved. If the prince hugged left and right, Sun Erhai felt that he would really worry about Xiaochu. Seeing this now, Sun Erhai stood next to Duofu: "I'll also sit down for a while and let the young lady hurry down there."
"I'd better go in and ask you. The young lady is in a hurry and will really run up." Duofu also knows Xiaochu's nature. As soon as he said this, when he saw the curtain moving, Chu Huaixian saw Sun Erhai's shadow outside and stepped out.
told Sun Erhai: "The little prince, stay, let the young lady go back and kneel down, and ask for me to go back." After slowly conceiting like this, Chu Huaixian stepped in again.
Sun Erhai came down happily and told Xiaochu happily: "I'm right, I'm going to beat you." Xiaochu pouted, and Sun Erhai got on the bus happily and rushed back.
Of course, when Xiaochu came home, he would not kneel. He sat with his cheek in his hand and facing the candle. Seeing that it was late, the father and son did not come back, so he had to sleep sullenly.
Chu Huaixian didn't come back this night. Xiaochu knew it in the morning and asked. Sure enough, the father and son were sleeping in the study. Xiaochu now doesn't even have time to be angry. As a housekeeper, he hurriedly had breakfast and went to meet Mrs. Chu.
When I saw Mrs. Chu, of course, I didn't say anything about what happened yesterday. I asked Guo An to help her with the housework and send soup and water to Mrs. Chu. Mrs. Chu asked, "The little brother slept with you yesterday. I didn't make trouble with you, did I?" Xiaochu told the truth: "The prince is taking him out to play and sleeping with his father in the study." In this way, I felt that I didn't look good on my face, as if the father and son had left themselves and ran aside. Xiaochu still covered himself and said, "It is said that I was checking the endorsement of my buddies in the study."
"So young, it's so strict," Mrs. Chu praised and said to Xiaochu, "Don't worry if you don't come in and sleep. You are all old enough to study, and studying is the most important thing."
Xiaochu said hurriedly, "Yes, if it's like this tonight, I'll ask someone to prepare supper for them." Mrs. Chu said in surprise, "What, didn't you make preparations last night?" Xiaochu felt that he picked up and hit his foot with a stone and said with a smile, "Last night, I was not prepared." Mrs. Chu taught Xiaochu a few words: "This is your fault. When Huaixian and the third master attack books at night, they have to prepare a midnight snack at home. Let me hear this again in the future. I'm going to teach you a lesson.
After saying these words, Mrs. Chu asked Xiaochu again, "Last night, the master just told me about Huai Dejin. How are you going to deal with him?" Xiaochu asked, "As usual, the second uncle Na's aunt's example, prepared something for Wade." Mrs. Chu heard it and nodded, "That's all. The things in the second and third rooms, no matter how big or small, are all according to the example. It's their own business that they want to add. This must be separated from the head of the room, unlike in our own room, which is easy to negotiate.
Look at Xiaochu again, Mrs. Chu said, "I also talk a lot. In your room, only buddies can do this in the future." In terms of Chu Huaixian's love for Xiaochu, it should be more difficult for him to take a concubine than to ascend to heaven.
As for Mrs. Chu's words, Xiaochu agreed with a smile and tried again, "Brother, can't you do this in the future?" Mrs. Chu said with a straight face: "You're messing around again. It's okay to be like this in your own room. In the future, you... Alas, when you worry about your grandchildren in the future, I'm afraid you won't give them more people."
Xiaochu whispered, "After Lianqing, I don't want her to be like this." As soon as Lianqing was mentioned, Mrs. Chu changed: "Reianqing, of course, Lianqing can't do this."
A family member came in from outside to interrupt the conversation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. In the afternoon, when Xiaochu had free time, he called his two sons and asked, "Who did my father sit with yesterday?" Brother Yu and Brother Ji pointed to their noses: "With us."
"What about before you went in?" Ask again at the beginning of the year.
Brother Yu and Brother Ji said, "We didn't see what happened before we went in." Xiaochu rolled his eyes, and his sons learned to look white together.
The mother and son had white eyes, and Mrs. Chu came over and called Xiaochu: "Let's go and see Chen."
The two sighed a few words for Chen on the way, and the marriage was not yet full, which made people sigh. When he came to see Chen, his face was still the same. Even if she is sad, she won't let Xiaochu and the third lady see it.
Xiaochu, the person who held the peace, said first: "Sister-in-law, don't be stuck in your heart if you have something to do. The garden at home is good, and it's also a good idea to have fun."
This doesn't mention Chu Huaide, which can also be said for any woman who is only stuffed in the room.
Chen has heard that she is the person concerned, and of course she is more careful. Seeing that Mrs. Chu squeezed her mouth and smiled, she also said, "It's even more sad to be bored in the room. Huai De is not good. Wei De has wronged you. Don't pay attention to it."
"I can't compare with my sister-in-law," Chen said: "My sister-in-law is a housekeeper who has something to do. I have more time when I'm free, and it's best to sit in the room."
Mrs. Chu smiled and thought that you couldn't compare with Xiao Chu. This person has been a legend in Beijing since she entered the door.
Chu Huaixian is single-minded. The wife he married is not a famous family. Of course, the listener thinks it is a legend.
While talking, a little girl in the first room came outside and said with a smile, "The young lady made it easy for me to find, but it turned out to be here." Xiaochu said, "Is it an emergency?" The girl's face was full of spring breeze: "The prince is back. Let the young lady go back." Xiaochu said directly, "Try to him that I'm talking to my sister-in-law. Let him wait."
The girl has been there, and Chen sneered in her heart. Who is this for? My husband came back and still put on airs here and didn't go back. Accompanying siblings? Is it that important?
Mrs. Chu couldn't help laughing: "You, you, I like you the most, that's your temperament." Xiaochu also smiled and said to Mrs. Chu San and Chen, "I will go back as soon as he comes back. Will he go back if I go back?"
It doesn't make sense. Xiaochu still remembers that Chu Huaixian was going to beat himself last night. Beat people, don't you? Just wait.
