Chapter 163, family gossip
Chu Shaofu came back quietly and didn't take Qiu Bai seriously. He is an old politician, not a reckless man. Qiu Bai is like Qiao and Zhang Zhier. His son still likes the dignified Lin Xiaochu. Of course, Chu Shaofu will come back without having an attack. If his son was like that, he would have been played with by Qiu Bai. Not now, it means that the son is his own son.
It's still snowing outside, and Chu Shaofu doesn't feel cold. The first sentence he said when he returned to the room was to shout: "Take my He Tianyu's pen wash to the prince and let him attack the book well."
After esplaining this matter, Chu Shaofu continued to look at himself under the lamp*. Before long, there were footsteps and voices outside: "Has father slept yet?" Chu Huaixian came to thank his father for his reward. Chu Shaofu also wanted to say a few words to him. In order not to disturb him, he didn't call him just now. Hearing Chu Huaixian coming, Chu Shaofu liked it very much. He put down the file in his hand and turned his face and said, "Yes, you're here."
The family closed the curtain and Chu Huaixian came in: "Thank you for your father's reward. That wash is what my son has always wanted." Chu Shaofu joked with his son: "If you want, I'll give it to you."
Chu Huaixian came over with a smile and saw the file in his father's hand, and his face was slightly different. Chu Shaofu pointed to the mahogany carved armchair in front of the book: "Sitting down." Then the file in my hand lit up: "I received your letter and kept my attention. You're right. This famous Lord Nixi is a sensible person in this case.
"In my son's thinking, everything is for King Liang to pursue in the future." Chu Huaixian said, and Chu Shaofu said with admiration, "Yes, I see it the same way. Is this Gong family turned over by Xiaochu? Chu Huaixian smiled and said, "She found it, but she can control the Gong family." Sun Erhai told Chu Huaixian his private words with Gong Miaoer: "The Gong family said that Xiaochu was fine and just scolded him."
Chu Shaofu put down the file and slowly opened his mouth: "When I entered the palace to see the emperor, I looked worse than usual. The prince under Queen Zhang is only five years old, and the emperor is almost alone today, so I avoided it. The emperor mentioned Prime Minister Zhang again, but he didn't say anything later. Looking at the file on the table, Chu Shaofu said to his son in a low voice, "King Liang is in his prime, and it is also in the hands of King Liang. It's just that the Gong family didn't die for a day, and Zhang Zai didn't dare to be careless against King Liang. And the people of the Gong family got this life, which is because Lord Xi was cautious.
"Yes, my son thinks so too. If the King of Liang pursues it in the future, some people from the Gong family will talk about the situation in those years. The old princess has only one beloved son under the knee of King Liang. Once His Highness the King of Liang realizes, he will not give up. Chu Huaixian has always wanted to talk about this to his father. Now that his father has said it in such detail that he listens very carefully.
Chu Shaofu smiled slightly and smiled as if he was old and slippery. He was a cautious person when he was young and never easily stepped into right and wrong. Although the death of the imperial concubine and the two young princes is suspicious, there was a former King Liang. Chu Shaofu said to his son, "There are shares in every family, and this has nothing to do with you. As long as the Gong family is not too much, they will agree to agree, and if they can't agree, they will be rejected."
"Thank you for your father's teaching." Chu Huai has always thought that officials who have committed serious crimes can recover. In order to make a living, there is not only one. Chu Huaifu said to his son again, "Your mother told me that you want to close the house and you can't go out and walk around in the future." Chu Huaixian hurriedly smiled and said, "Let her finish the matter in front of her, and then don't let her go out."
Chu Shaofu had nothing to say, but said lightly, "It looks like a respectful person." Chu Huaixian hurriedly answered his father's words: "No." Chu Shaofu Guaner, this child is in a hurry!
Chu Huaixian blushed and added to his father: "Father, please..." Speaking of this, Chu Huaixian is even more embarrassed. Chu Shaofu smiled and said, "I understand, you don't have to say it. I think it's okay, but you said it's not good. Chu Huaixian said in embarrassment, "Wait a little longer, maybe she will understand."
Lin Xiaochu's nature will not succumb to it for a while. Only Mr. Chu himself still holds such hope.
Chu Shaofu no longer embarrass his son, but said, "Do your own thing by yourself." Chu Huaixian also saw it when he said he looked at the hourglass on the table. He got up quickly and said, "When my son disturbs his father, please rest early." Chu Shaofu smiled again: "I love you. I'm afraid you'll sleep late and won't get up tomorrow. You make me look like a person who can't stay up late."
Under the candlelight, Chu Huaixian was moved. Although his father was not a strict father, it was still rare to say the word "heartache" in front of him. Chu Huaixian's heart was warm and suddenly choked and bowed to Chu Shaofu's knees: "My son is wrong. I shouldn't be uncomfortable with my second uncle to worry my parents."
Chu Shaofu looked at his choked only son and said softly, "You are young, and it's normal to do something wrong. Your second uncle is not all right. However, in the future, this family is yours. If your second uncle can't do it, you have to take care of him; your third uncle also fell in love with it, and I just asked him and was also attacking the book. That's good. Come out with one, and you'll be less burdened."
Chu Huaixian shed tears: "Yes, I understand." Chu Shaofu simply explained to his son tonight: "I have always looked good at Xiangzhi, but my grandmother doesn't like marriage, and I don't like it even if I've heard of it. I heard that you also persuaded, that's right! Mr. Reed in the second room has never been angry since he was a child, but he still doesn't have the weather to go to school. Take care of him when you have time. He can come out and take care of your second uncle, and you will also have less burden.
You can't say that Chu Huaixian doesn't understand these words, but he is young. Master Chu is too bad at doing things. Chu Huaixian only has a fighting heart and usually can't imagine going to this. Today, the father and son talked for a long time, and Chu Huaixian's heart was much brighter. While opening up, he burst into tears. Mr. Chu confessed once tonight. It turned out that these things were all his own fault.
He can deal with others outside, but he is used to being alone at home. The second master and the second wife of Chu are selfish. It is inconvenient for Chu Huaixian to use the money in the black father-in-law. It is best to just find someone.
I heard from my father today that Chu Huaixian cried and said, "I dare not do it again." Chu Shaofu stretched out his loving hand and patted his son on the back and said, "It's good to understand. In the future, you have to be good at this family. Don't wait for me to hide in the forest when I'm old, and I have to worry about these trivial things for you.
Chu Huaixian agreed: "Yes." Chu Shaofu said these words and felt much more comfortable. Let Chu Huaixian get up and watch him wipe his tears, just like when he was a child. Just make fun of it: "Let your grandmother see it and feel sorry for you again." Chu Huaixian couldn't help smiling.
At this time, the father and son were warm. Chu Shaofu said again, "In a few days, let your mother choose someone for you and choose someone you like." Chu Huaixian is about to resign. Chu Shaofu pretended to be angry: "I made it clear to you that you can't be spoiled in a special room." Chu Huaixian suddenly realized that it was for this reason that he was afraid of neglecting his wife in the future.
Chu Huaixian is happy. The meaning of his father's words is that Xiaochu has also passed his father's level. Chu Huaixian hurriedly smiled: "Of course, my parents married me. Of course I was kind to her." Chu Shaofu then smiled and said, "That's good, otherwise your in-laws will come to your door, but it's not good-looking and unpleasant."
The father and son joked, and Chu Shaofu asked Chu Huaixian to go back: "Go to bed early. It's not good to stay up too late." Chu Huaixian also asked Chu Shaofu to have a good morning rest before going back.
The snowy night on the road was cold, but Chu Huaixian's heart was warm. When he returned to the room and saw that the girls were still waiting, Chu Huaixian first smiled ambiguously at Xiaochu, and then said to the girls, "Go to sleep. Xiaochu brings water, and I'm going to sleep after washing."
Xiaochu curled his lips and said, "Of course it's not good to see it too late, but it's a waste for me to study a lot of ink before you go out." Chu Huaixian sat down on the couch and looked at Xiaochu's coquettishness and said, "If you supervise the class, it's better for the students to scare away." Lin Xiaochu brought the water and replied, "I said that you don't need to study. You still won't let you go to bed early." Chu Huaixian smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you can calculate well. I know that I can't write today. I'll listen to you in the future. All right, don't be awkward anymore."
Lin Xiaochu stared angrily. It's just a theory. Who is uncomfortable with you?
Serving Chu Huaixian to sleep, Chu Huaixian still likes it in his heart. I used to worry that my second uncle would talk nonsense in the letter and make it difficult for my parents to come back. Now my mother said it was okay, and my father said it was okay. Chu Huaixian slept in the spring breeze but couldn't sleep. He wanted to call Xiaochu to say a few words and let Xiaochu pour tea.
Inverted, he took it in his hand and didn't drink. He just looked at Xiaochu's smile. Xiaochu's face was rigid: "Mr. You are crazy about reading books, aren't you? If you don't drink it, give it back to me."
Chu Huaixian gritted his teeth and smiled: "You are heartless." When his hand was empty, the tea bowl was taken away by Xiaochu and put back. Lin Xiao first went to his bedding, was blindfolded with apricot red silk, and gritted his teeth in the quilt. I was just heartless. How could I know it today?
In the mahogany bed brocade tent carved by Baiziying, Chu Huaixian gritted his teeth with a smile; on the brocade covered with apricot red quilt, Xiaochu was also gritting his teeth...
After two days, his family was not as many guests as Chu Shaofu came back, and Xiaochu had to go out. Although she doesn't have much to do at home, she doesn't directly serve Chu Shaofu and Mrs. Chu. However, because of the prince's love, Chu Huaixian did not allow Xiaochu to go out in those days, afraid that once his father and mother wanted to see him, Xiaochu would not be at home.
Zhao Xing is now completely learning to be obedient, and Sun Erhai drove Xiaochu directly to Gong's house. Xiaochu laughed after getting out of the car and said, "Is there a temple fair here? Why are there so many people here?"
The Gong family's shop, which has always been deserted, is full of people coming and going. When Manager Zhuang saw that Xiaochu couldn't get in among the crowd, he quickly raised his voice: "Miss Xiaochu, please come from the back door. It's idle there, you can come in."
Xiao Chu asked Sun Erhai with a smile: "What kind of madness is he drunk?"
