Chapter 169: An appointment (see off-topic)
When Chu Jiayun went to Anguo Hou’s Mansion to listen to the opera that day, she accidentally heard the chat of Funing County Lord and Anguo Hou Ba and the others, but Princess Mingxi only invited a few girls from aristocratic families who were familiar with them.
I heard that Zhuangzi belongs to the Marquis of Beiping, so she also wanted to go and see where she could soak in hot springs and ride horses. In addition to this, there are many places for fun in Zhuangzi.
She also heard that many girls from aristocratic families wanted to go, but the number of people invited by Princess Mingxi was limited. She thought that Chu Xinyu was not only the future sister-in-law of Princess Mingxi, but also the friends she could chat with Princess Mingxi. I believe that as long as Chu Xinyu was willing to take her, her friends would be envious of her, especially An Qiluo. She belittled herself everywhere. If she could go to the village with Chu Xinyu, she could be majestic in front of An Qiluo once.
Chu Xinyu rubbed her forehead like a puppy, and smiled and said, "She invited me to go, but she didn't say she could take people there. Next time, she could invite them to the mansion to play next time."
Chu Jiayun said, "But aren't you her future sister-in-law? As long as you speak out, how dare she disagree."
She heard that An Qiluo would go, An Qiluo was An Qilan's sister, and An Qilan could take her sister there, why couldn't Chu Xinyu?
Chu Jiapeng frowned, thinking that Chu Jiayun was making trouble. She knew that her mother and Chu Xinyu were only apart, but why did she think that Chu Xinyu would take her there? So she said, "Eighth sister, this is a bad word! Princess Mingxi is the princess. Although your fifth sister is her future sister-in-law, hasn't she been through the door yet? Do you say this? Do you want her to be disliked by her future sister-in-law?"
"I...I don't mean that, I just want to go and play. In the past, as long as I spoke, she would take me there. Why can't it be now?" Chu Jiayun raised her head and asked Chu Xinyu: "Fifth Sister, do you no longer like me because of your mother?"
"How could it be? A cute and innocent little sister, who doesn't like it?" Chu Xinyu gently pinched her cheeks with both hands, and said with a soft and friendly smile: "Okay, you are the most obedient. Sister, I have something to do now, so I won't chat with you more."
After saying that, she left with Danqing regardless of her expression.
Chu Jiapeng and Chu Jiayu looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders lightly, and at the same time, they didn't say anything in a tacit understanding, and then took their maids to scatter.
Chu Jiayun raised her hand and slowly wiped her cheeks. She looked at Chu Xinyu's back as she was leaving, and she pulled the corners of her mouth and said nothing.
"Girl." Her maid He'er looked at her carefully and said angrily: "These five girls are too arrogant. How could she treat you like this?"
Chu Jiayun smiled coldly, "She is now rising and has the qualification to be arrogant."
"What do you do?"
He'er knew that her girl had always been in a bad mood with An Qiluo. That day, An Qiluo showed off at the girl with a spring breeze on her face, saying that her sister would take her to Princess Mingxi's house to play. Everyone immediately envied her and asked the girl if she would go, but the girl said that as long as she wanted to go, her fifth sister would definitely take her there.
Everyone knows that the girl was very good to Miss Five before, and she gave her everything to her first, so she also envied her when she heard her say this, but An Qiluo said that Miss Five would not bring her to attend.
For the sake of face, the girl swore in front of them that the fifth girl would take her there, as long as she wanted to go, but she asked, but the fifth girl refused. If the girl didn't go, she would definitely be belittled to death by An Qiluo.
Chu Jiayun gritted her teeth, clenched her fists with both hands and said, "Yes, I will definitely go tomorrow!"
On this side, Chu Xinyu took Danqing back to Xiaozhuyuan. On the way, Danqing asked, "Girl, why did Miss Eight suddenly want to go to the village to play with you? How did she know you were going to play?"
Chu Xinyu replied: "There are places where there are many women, there must be no secret. Didn't she go to the Anguo Marquis' Mansion to listen to the opera?"
In fact, instead of listening to the opera that day, it would be better to compare and communicate some gossip news I have heard recently. Therefore, without Anguo Hou’s Mansion, she was eager to go for a social event.
Danqing understood a little, "Why didn't that girl take her there?"
Chu Xinyu asked without answering her and said, "What do you think of Miss Eight?"
Danqing turned her head as she walked, thinking that she didn't have much contact with Miss Eight, but every time she saw her, she looked innocent and cute, with a sweet smile, and was completely harmless. But she just listened to Miss Six and was also afraid of her. If it were girls in the big room, Miss Eight was the most likely to make people feel good about it.
"Apart from being cute and loving to laugh, she is afraid of the Six Girls, there is nothing else." Danqing replied.
After hearing her answer, Chu Xinyu smiled and said, "She comes to Xiaozhuyuan in the future. If I am not here, don't let her step in. Even if her smile is sweet and her mouth is well-behaved."
"Why?"
"No, this is an order! You must remember."
When she returned to Xiaozhuyuan, Lan Yi came back and told her that everything had been arranged.
Chu Xinyu was anxious to see the King of Qin, but thought that someone was watching his mansion and that there were no female relatives in his mansion and that it was inconvenient to visit him, so he had to let Lan Yi disguise himself and send a letter in and ask him to meet at Zuixianglou.
Zuixianglou is a place to eat and Shao Sanniang's territory, so no one will disturb you when you are safe.
So, she asked Lan Yi to send the letter to Yang Qianjun in advance, asked her to send someone to post and invite her to play at her mansion, and planned to go to Zuixianglou from Yang's mansion, so no one would doubt anything.
Therefore, not long after Lan Yi came back, a servant from the Yang Mansion sent a big red invitation. She immediately asked Danqing to go to Anshantang to report to Old Lady Chu.
The second wife was still in Anshantang. When she heard that the eldest girl of Yang's mansion invited Chu Xinyu to play in Yang's mansion, she happily agreed. The old lady Chu knew that Yang Qianjun's father, Mr. Yang, was a newcomer to Jinjing. How many people wanted to get into this relationship? It was rare that Chu Xinyu and his daughter could get along, so she was happy that they would have more contact.
Yuan’s family is not in charge of the family, and the second wife cherishes Chu Xinyu, and the old lady Chu’s attitude towards her has also changed. Now she can say that she wants to go wherever she wants to go, as long as she informs her, almost no one will stop her.
But Chu Jiaqi and Yuan, who were confined, knew that they were so angry that they gritted their teeth. Chu Jiaqi still knelt down in the ancestral hall. Now she has moved out of the Snow Tower and returned to the Lengshui Pavilion where she used to live.
From the maid, I learned that the old lady Chu and the second wife now value Chu Xinyu very much and almost respond to her requests. Especially the second wife, every time Chu Xinyu wanted to go out, she would approve it. Unlike when the Yuan family was housekeeper, even her biological daughter Chu Jiating did not think so and went out.
Moreover, because of Chu Xinyu, her second aunt's family was about to move out of the Hou's Mansion and live outside. She was shocked when she heard this, and she was also very worried that she would not have a foothold in her grandmother's heart.
What should I do? Do I really have to kneel for ten days? Now her legs are almost paralyzed and unconscious.
No, she must think of a way to let her grandmother spare her.
As for Yuan, she copied Buddhist scriptures in Qingli Garden every day. Her two daughters naturally told her about the outside world. When she knew that Chu Xue was ordered by the old lady to move out of the Marquis' Mansion for three days, she sneered in her heart and asked them to show off for a while, and soon she took the power back to take over.
Therefore, Yuan took a while the iron was hot and asked Chu Xue to come to Qingliyuan to sit. That day she gave Chu Xue some gifts. Chu Xue was so grateful to her that she seemed to treat her as a timely helper.
So, when Chu Xue heard that Yuan was looking for her, she rushed there. Because in the Hou Mansion, she felt that only Yuan wanted to help her, but she didn't know that Yuan was just using her. Soon after, when she was burned all over her body and was lying on the bed and dying, it was too late for her to regret it.
Let’s talk about Chu Xinyu with the consent of the old lady Chu and the second wife, and took Lan Yi into the carriage to Yang’s mansion.
The Yang Mansion and the Duke of Wei are on the same street, but one is in front of the street and the other is behind the street. If you arrive at the Yang Mansion, the carriage must pass through the gate of the Duke of Wei.
When the carriage passed by the Duke of Wei, she lifted the curtains and happened to see a carriage stopping in front of the Duke of Wei. The person who got off the carriage was Chen, the wife of Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. She had seen this person last time in the Prince of Chu's Mansion, and the last time she went to the Marquis' Mansion to find Yuan, she was entrusted by the Duke of Ying to make a Baoshan for her and the second prince of Qi.
She was not interested in knowing about this person, so she simply put down the curtains.
The carriage stopped at the Yang Mansion. Yang Qianjun was already waiting at the gate. When she saw Chu Xinyu get off the carriage, she came up and held her arm and said, "I'm counting the time, it's amazing!"
Chu Xinyu nodded and smiled, "Yes, it's very awesome."
Yang Qianjun was very happy, "Let's go, I'll take you in and see my mother first."
Ah my mother?
Chu Xinyu paused and almost stepped on the hem of the skirt.
It turns out that Yang Qianjun calls her mother and also her mother. This is what they say in the south. It seems that Yang Qianjun also grew up in the south. No wonder they both hit it off at first sight.
"Okay." Chu Xinyu nodded.
"I've made arrangements. When I met my mother, I'll sit down at my pavilion. Then we go to Zuixianglou to eat the signature dishes, Zuixiang duck and plum vegetables, and when you get there, you can do whatever you want." Yang Qianjun told her the plan.
Chu Xinyu had no objection after hearing this.
The two of them came to the main courtyard with a smile and talked. Several official wives were sitting there in the hall. Yang Qianjun had just told her that several wives were visiting today. They were all friends who had contact with the Yang family. There was no big deal. They just chatted with her mother, so there was no problem when they went in to meet her.
Mrs. Yang is about forty years old, and her facial features are not similar to Yang Qianjun. She is dignified and beautiful, and has a charm. She is sitting in the main hall and chatting with several ladies. When she hears the sound, she looks over.
Yang Qianjun usually laughs and laughs like a little boy, not care about the details, but in front of the guests, she is very elegant and polite. She pulls Chu Xinyu forward, first salutes to Mrs. Yang, then salutes to greet Mrs. Yang, and then salutes to several wives present, and then introduces Chu Xinyu.
"She Chu Xinyu, she has a good relationship with her daughter. Her daughter invites her to come and have fun tonight."
Chu Xinyu stepped forward and gave a younger tribute to Mrs. Yang Yingying, who was in charge, but his demeanor was very calm: "Xinyu greeted her and asked her how he was."
"You are polite, you are Jun'er's friend. Mo Sheng is fine, just call me aunt." Mrs. Yang raised her hand and returned a little while. Seeing that the girl was beautiful, noble and elegant, she was highly recommended by her daughter. She also performed well at the Baihua Banquet, won the championship, and was also ordered by the emperor to marry the Marquis of Peking. I think this girl is not an ordinary person, so she couldn't help but take a look and said kindly: "You girl comes to my house and treat her as her own home, without any restraint."
Chu Xinyu bowed and smiled, "Look at what aunt you said, "I'm not allowed to be dignified. When I went out, my grandmother and second aunt told me not to show off." She showed a innocent smile and joked.
"Yeah, isn't this the Chu Wu who defeated Miss Fu Er at the Baihua Banquet?" One of the wives wearing a big red embroidered peony silk wool, who was about the same age as Mrs. Yang.
Chu Xinyu quickly greeted the ladies present, "Xinyu greeted the ladies, good luck to all wives."
"Okay, I'm a person who knows the rules, get up quickly. Let's see, what a beautiful girl! The Marquis of Peking really has a good vision." The lady stood up and helped Chu Xinyu up and down, looking her up and down to praise her.
This lady is the wife of the Minister of Revenue. Her husband's surname is Chen and is known as Mrs. Chen.
At that time, she also participated in the Hundred Flowers Banquet. At that time, she saw Chu Xinyu from afar, but did not look closely. Now the two were facing each other, and she found that Chu Xinyu's skin was particularly beautiful, tender, like a peeled egg, making people want to pinch it to see if there would be water coming out.
Other wives also praised Chu Xinyu one after another, saying that she was a polite child, and that the Marquis of Peking was lucky to marry her, etc., and accepted Chu Xinyu generously for these praises, but did not say much, nor did he say less, and he also politely and politely made a few gossips with them.
Mrs. Chen was very straightforward and cheerful. She took off a red jade bracelet from her hand and gave Chu Xinyu a gift from her elders.
Chu Xinyu didn't dare to accept it. After all, she was also visiting Yang's house. Therefore, she looked at Mrs. Yang first, and saw her tilted her head and smiled, "Mrs. Chen is a local rich man, please accept it quickly."
Chu Xinyu then came forward to thank him. Mrs. Chen gave her a gift and couldn't watch her. Several ladies gave her a gift, and they kept talking and joking for a while.
Yang Qianjun is familiar with these ladies, and she had already taken their greeting gifts. She did not feel jealous when she saw them like Chu Xinyu so much. Her friends were so popular, and she also had a light on her face, but she was still a little jealous because when she first met them, she did not see them so enthusiastic.
Yang Qianjun was afraid that they would miss the agreed time and that they would miss the agreed time, so she found an excuse to pull her out and said that she would take her to her boudoir to see the little golden beetle she raised. Mrs. Yang cooperated with her tactfully and smiled: "Take her to see your baby quickly, this little demon star can't wait for a moment."
"Then let's take a leave first." Chu Xinyu and Yang Qianjun bowed together to leave.
Yang Qianjun pulled Chu Xinyu and hurriedly returned to her Moon Tower. Because she had been wasting some time in the main courtyard just now, there was not much time left before they agreed to go to Zuixiang Tower.
The two of them took a casual walk in the garden and then went out.
Yang Qianjun took action first and then reported, and only after leaving the house asked the maid to tell Mrs. Yang that she took Chu Xinyu to Zuixianglou for dinner and would come back later.
Mrs. Yang was helpless and knew her daughter's character. Originally, several wives stayed for lunch and wanted to have a lot of friendship with Chu Xinyu. Seeing this, she told them that her daughter took Miss Chu Wu to the Duke of Wei's Mansion.
Although the ladies were disappointed, they were not unhappy. Anyway, the future was long. I met Chu Xinyu today and I could speak well. I would also be able to speak well when I met again next time.
