Chapter 190 Slap in the face
Song Huai had something on his mind, so he drank a little more vigorously, and soon he was drunk.
"Help him to the guest house to rest." Seeing that Song Huai was as drunk as a puddle of mud, Mrs. Zeng ordered the servants and Shu Zhen to help him to the guest house to rest.
Chu Xuanyu didn't drink much, but he was still a little dizzy. He was lying on the Arhat bed in the side hall, guarded by his personal servant.
Mrs. Zeng took Ms. Zhuo to the Chu family's greenhouse and admired several pots of Eighteen Bachelors, Poppies, Erqiao, Rouge and Snow that she had raised.
Chu Jingqi pestered Xia Zihan and went to her study. The two of them climbed onto the kang, one on each side, leaning on the big pillow to chat.
I accidentally saw the knot made by Xia Zihan. After learning that she had knitted it myself, I took it away shamelessly, took off the jade pendant from my waist, and put the knot on.
His original loops were also new and more beautiful than the ones made by Xia Zihan, but Chu Jingqi just liked the loops made by Xia Zihan, which made Xia Zihan stare, "It's still new, why did you throw it away? What a waste.”
"If you like it, then I'll give it to you. It was compiled by Yue Jin."
Yue Jin is Zhuo's personal maid. Chu Jingqi's clothes and accessories are all made by Zhuo's hands, or by the hands of several maids around her.
The silk grass who made tea for them stared at the braid with gleaming eyes. It was a popular braiding method this year, but it was a pity that she had not learned it yet.
Xia Zihan saw that she liked it, so he gave it to her. Silk Grass thanked her profusely, and then put Luo Zi in her purse, planning to learn from it with Vanilla at night.
Chu Jingqi was very happy to have a mole. She was so proud that she started to put on Song Huai's shoes, "Who is he? Look at his virtues. How can he be drunk and unconscious in someone else's house when he comes to celebrate the New Year?" ”
"He is still a student of sages. I think he is not as good at etiquette as a warrior like me. Just take a look. When he grows up, he will definitely be an alcoholic who can't move his feet after smelling alcohol."
Even if he wasn't an alcoholic, he would turn him into one.
In short, he is the enemy after he robbed his Ayu.
Chu Jingqi's eyes were rolling, thinking about how to turn Song Huai into an alcoholic and make his Ayu hate him.
It's best to break off the engagement and stop marrying him.
"He is also happy during the New Year." Xia Zihan said.
God knows, she has no intention of defending Song Huai at all, but as Song Huai's fiancée in name, she can't speak ill of her fiancé behind his back like the child Chu Jingqi.
Although she doesn't like Song Huai.
But during the Chinese New Year, she didn’t want to be the eighth mother-in-law.
But in Chu Jingqi's eyes, she was defending Song Huai. He was furious and sat up straight, "Ayu, you are still facing that drunkard."
"Where am I facing him?" She was not facing anyone.
"It's just for him. You speak for him and make excuses for him. Ayu, you hurt my heart too much. It's in vain that I devoted my whole heart to you and treated you like my own sister."
No, even if he had a biological sister, he wouldn't be so kind to her.
Chu Jingqi had a look of resentment on her face, pretending to be a rogue while holding a broken heart.
Xia Zihan stroked his forehead, "Aqi, can't you be cold to me like you are to everyone else?"
She would rather face a cold Aqi than face him who is too out-of-the-box and acting rogue.
"Aqi, if you don't like him, you just don't like him. Why are you picking on him? He can't hear it."
You can hear it.
Chu Jingqi thought depressedly.
He just wanted to discredit Song Huai in front of Ayu.
However, given the premise that the two had quarreled over Song Huai before, Chu Jingqi endured it and stopped mentioning Song Huai.
He mentioned wine again, "You have to give me a jar. I have two friends to entertain, and they can't drink white wine."
"I know, I know, I'll just give you two jars." Xia Zihan said helplessly.
"And Qi Hong."
"Remember, Nuanyu has been installed for you."
"Hey..."
Being pampered and pampered by Xia Zihan, Chu Jingqi felt warm in her heart and her eyebrows curled up in happiness.
When the Chu family of three headed back home in the evening, Chu Jingqi brought two jars of grape wine into the carriage in advance, and also packed two taels of Qihong.
When Chu Jingqi left, Xia Zihan secretly stuffed two pairs of insoles for him. They were cut from the black fox fur she made for him last time.
Chu Jingqi grinned happily to the back of her ears, waved to Xia Zihan, and jumped onto the carriage.
As for the drunk Song Huai, he hadn't woken up yet and was sleeping deeply.
But he was fourteen years old, and Xia Zihan was twelve years old. There was no male head in the Chu family, so it was not convenient for him to stay here overnight. After seeing off the three members of the Chu family, Mrs. Zeng ordered her servant to wake him up and remind him that it was time to go back.
Song Huai's head was dizzy and a little painful. When he saluted and said goodbye to Zeng's Xia Zihan, his body was swaying and he was pushed by Shu Zhen into the carriage.
On the sixth day of the lunar month, Mrs. Liao came with Liao Fangyi.
Xia Zihan and Liao Fangyi were lying on the bed, chatting. Mrs. Zeng was chatting with Mrs. Liao, and they were talking about nothing but recent events in the capital.
The most violent thing was the matter between Chu Haoyu, Yu Shi, and Aunt Lu.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Yu asked Chu Haoyu to accompany her back to her parents' home, but Aunt Lu pretended to have a stomachache and asked Chu Haoyu to stay at home with her.
It is conceivable that the relationship between Yu and Chu Haoyu, a fourteen-year-old married couple, is no match for a child in Aunt Lu's belly.
Chu Haoyu stayed, while Mrs. Yu took her two sons and two daughters to the Prince Yu's Mansion to pay New Year greetings.
But only half way through the meal, a maid whom Yu left at home came and reported that Chu Haoyu had accompanied Aunt Lu to the Lu family to pay New Year's greetings.
Instead of coming to the serious father-in-law's house, he went to an aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings. This was not only a slap in the Yu family's face, but also a sign that the Yu County Prince's Palace didn't take it seriously.
This time, not only the Yu family was angry, but also Prince Yijun and Princess Yujun were angry.
Prince Yijun originally wanted to send a steward to the Lu family and drag Chu Haoyu over, but when he thought about it, the people in the Lu family would think that he was using his power to suppress his son-in-law.
By then, wouldn't the Yu family's face be even more humiliated?
Princess Yujun said angrily, "The white-eyed wolf didn't even look at who gave him the position in the Army and Horses Division. Now that he is in the position, he doesn't pay attention to his legitimate wife and treats an aunt's natal family as her own." When the Yue family left, I thought he was dizzy.”
It turned out that before Chu Haoyu separated his family, Lao An Guogong went out of his way to find a job for him under Mrs. Chu's fuss, which made her cry, make trouble, and hang herself.
But every time he got something, Chu Haoyu left after a few days of doing it. Either he felt that his position was too low, or he felt that he had no real power. He also felt that he had to go out early and come back late every day to report, and he had no personal freedom at all.
It's better to drink wine at home and entertain the birds and fight cocks than to go shopping in the streets.
His last job was as a colleague in Yinlin Guard. He had a high status and was the third-in-command of Yinlin Guard.
For the sake of Duke Lao An, the commander of the Yinlin Guard also gave him some real power, but Chu Haoyu went there for five days and then refused to go even after he was beaten to death.
It turns out that the Yinlin Guards are the emperor's personal guards. Wherever the emperor goes, the Yinlin Guards have to follow him. When the emperor is in the palace, the Yinlin Guards have to be on duty in the palace.
He was on duty for five days, and on two days he was called by the emperor to talk.
In fact, he didn't say anything. The emperor was just idle and bored, so he called him and asked him whether he was still used to being on duty at the Yinlin Guards. However, he was timid and greedy, and he couldn't resist the emperor's huge The momentum is suppressed.
The emperor's eyes were obviously concerned, but in his eyes, the emperor's eyes were strange and scrutinizing, which frightened him.
After a few days of uneasiness and fear, he was finally... too scared to go.
Living under the emperor's nose means either great wealth or great disaster. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. If you don't take a careful step, you will lose your head.
He was timid and fearful that the emperor would chop off his head if he didn't like him.
No, there is no way to survive or die.
Old An Guogong was so angry that he finally stopped looking for trouble for him.
No, after the family was separated, Mrs. Yu was very strict with Chu Haoyu. He couldn't go anywhere. Even if he went to stroll on the street and play with the birds, he had to bring a boy with him.
No, he just went to ask Lao An Guogong to find something for him to do. Thinking that if he wants to do something and go to his post to report, the servant can't follow him, right?
The idea was great, but Old An Guogong pointed the back of his head at him and ignored him.
He was very clear about the virtues of his son, that is, he was a coward with a big heart, little ability, laziness, and fear of death.
Eating, drinking, having fun, teasing birds and blocking chickens, he is good at everything except being a human being.
After Lao An Guogong rejected Chu Haoyu, Chu Haoyu took two jars of good wine and went to ask Prince Yujun.
This was the first time that he asked Prince Yu to help him find a job. Prince Yu naturally found it difficult to refuse. Besides, the assassination of Chu Xuanyu by the Yu family was a handle in the Chu family. How could Chu Haoyu not care about the Yu family and still argue with the Yu family? Living together, just because of this, his father-in-law has to find a good job for him.
In this way, Prince Yujun found a job for Chu Haoyu in the City Gate Soldiers and Horses Department with a thousand households.
The Soldiers and Horses Division is the military camp of the soldiers and horses guarding the capital city. It is located three miles outside the city. Although it is a bit far away, it is more painful than being on duty under the emperor's nose.
Moreover, the Bingma Division has always been the territory of Prince Yu's Mansion. The General of the Bingma Division is the Yu family's eldest brother and the father of the Danhua County Lord.
After Chu Haoyu took office, he took charge of ten hundred households and one thousand soldiers under his command. He was so proud that he could hear the wind when he walked.
What happened to Chu Jingxiu was that Chu Haoyu secretly invited a hundred households and four soldiers to arrest the family of the maid of the Marquis of Changbei, and then threatened the maid to retract her confession and get Chu Jingxiu out.
Afterwards, Chu Haoyu invited those people to have a meal, and also gave them two hundred taels of silver to buy wine for them.
Since then, Chu Haoyu has become even more proud, thinking that he has the power and can handle everything easily, and even his own parents can't control him.
However, he was still a little afraid of the Yu family and the people from Prince Yu's Mansion.
