The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 204 The Man's Promise

He wasn't nervous at first, but when he was about to walk to the door, he suddenly became a little nervous.

"Sister Wu, what kind of person is Auntie? Tell me so that I can be mentally prepared."

Wu Shu covered his mouth and smiled lightly, but his heart was very sweet, nervousness meant he cared about her.She also wanted him to have a perfect performance in front of her mother, so she said:
"Mother is a serious person... Well, in your words, she is a bit old-fashioned. She is fine in private, but she doesn't like people playing around while doing business."

"When you meet her for the first time, it's best not to joke with her casually. There's nothing else, just be respectful and polite."

Chen Jingke kept these words in his heart and said, "Okay, I probably know what to do."

On the contrary, such people are easier to deal with, as long as they behave gentle and elegant, and reflect the gentleman's style in every way.

I'm afraid of people with weird tempers, that's the real trouble.

Wu Shu said in a low voice: "Actually, Master has already told Mother about the matter, so you don't have to worry about it."

Chen Jingke asked nervously, "What does Auntie say?"

Wu Shuqiao blushed, and said, "Of course...of course I'm waiting for you to come back."

Chen Jingke understood in seconds. Seeing her shy look, he deliberately asked anxiously: "What are you waiting for when I come back? Could it be that my aunt has something to say?"

Wu Shu didn't doubt that he was there, and said in embarrassment: "No, it's... yes... I'm waiting for you to come back to discuss the marriage."

Chen Jingke showed a smug smile, and said in a long voice: "Oh...so that's how it is."

"Asshole." Wu Shu didn't know that he was being teased, so he kicked him on the calf angrily, turned his head and left.

This time, she aimed at the flesh on her calf and kicked, and when she was about to kick, she withdrew three points of force.

Chen Jingke didn't feel any pain, and followed up swayingly: "Sister Wu, you can't do this, my aunt agrees, and you will be my daughter-in-law from now on."

"This problem of kicking your husband at every turn needs to be corrected. If people find out, they will think that our family does not understand etiquette, and it will not be good for your reputation."

Wu Shu knew that he was deliberately teasing her, and the more she responded to him, the more excited she became, so she just hurried on and ignored him.

Sure enough, after a while Chen Jingke felt bored and calmed down.

It wasn't until Wu Shu came to the gate of the courtyard where he lived that he stopped and said: "Don't talk nonsense when you go in."

Chen Jingke also knew that now is not the time to joke, and said seriously: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

After tidying his clothes again, Wu Shu went in to report, while Chen Jingke was waiting outside.

After a while, Wu Chang came over to greet him and said, "Master Lao has been waiting for a long time, please come in."

Chen Jingke cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Miss San."

Then followed behind, all the way to Mrs. Wu's bedroom.It was clean inside and had a faint scent of incense.

It's just obvious that the incense burner has been moved to the window. It should be because he is taking care of his asthma and it is not suitable to use spices.

Mrs. Wu was sitting on the bed with her back against the pillow, her clothes were neatly dressed, her hair was combed meticulously, even traces of makeup could be seen.

Wu Shu was waiting on the sidelines, as if she hadn't seen Chen Jingke, she didn't even turn her head.

Chen Jingke's heart is as expected, he is full of aristocratic style.

He didn't dare to look too much, he looked away and saluted: "Chen Jingke pays respects to Auntie."

Mrs. Wu looked him up and down for a long time before she said slowly: "Wan, Li, look, sit."

Wu Chang quickly moved a stool over.

"Thank you Madam for your seat, thank you Third Lady." Chen Jingke thanked him and sat down generously.

"It's really gratifying for my aunt to wake up. I should have come to visit you early. It's just that I didn't return until today because of trivial matters. Please forgive me for being rude."

Mrs. Wu nodded slightly and said: "You, of, matter, love, I, listen, speak, men, people, should, with, merit, name, for, important..."

She spoke very slowly, as if spitting out one word at a time.

Chen Jingke just heard from Wu Shu that it was caused by sleeping for too long.The speech was ambiguous, and people could understand it when speaking slowly, so I didn't think it was strange or anything.

"You can be appreciated by the saint empress at such a young age. This is an opportunity that others can't dream of, and you should seize it..."

It took her a long time to finish the few short sentences, and she paused several times in the middle.Chen Jingke was not impatient at all, and listened attentively.

"What my aunt said is that I will be loyal to my duties, and I will make a name for myself as soon as possible."

Mrs. Wu said again: "Shu'er told me about you, thanks to your helping hand, the three of us were able to get out of the catastrophe."

"Speaking of which, I still have to thank you. It's just that I'm unable to move around and can't thank you personally. Let my two incompetent daughters thank you on my behalf."

Hearing this, Wu Shu and Wu Chang faced him side by side and saluted him with blessings: "Thank you, Master, for your help."

Chen Jingke hurriedly turned half of his body, and waited for them to salute before saying: "How can this happen, Auntie really upsets me."

"Helping the poor and the needy is what we should do, let alone you and Master are old friends."

Mrs. Wu was very satisfied with his attitude, but recalling her previous experience, she sighed: "Although that is said, there are many selfish people in the world..."

"You can do this to show that you are a person who values ​​affection. This is very good. Don't learn from that ungrateful person...Look at me, I'm complaining again."

Chen Jingke smiled and said: "No, I really like to listen to your nagging. This is all life experience. Maybe it will help me someday."

It may be that the sequelae of the long-term coma are still there. Not only does she speak slowly, but sometimes she is confused.You can't complain when you say it, but you can't complain when you talk about it.

Among them are the mockery of the coldness of the world, the complaints about the samurai Xun who left her behind, and the dissatisfaction with the two brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang.

The former is easy to say, just follow along with the scolding.The samurai Xun has no choice but to comfort the dead that the dead are dead, and the living should live well.

As for Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, he did not scold along with him, but said: "When people are confused, the two senior brothers think it is because of some misunderstanding. One day they will figure it out and ask you to go back." .”

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, Mrs. Wu was not angry, but said with some expectation: "I hope so, the two of them are actually not bad, they were provoked by Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun."

Wu Chang wanted to refute, but was stopped by Wu Shu on the side, and could only stand there aggrieved.

Mrs. Wu's mentality is easy to understand, and it can also be said to be caused by the times.

When she marries the samurai Xun, she is a member of the Wu family. When she dies, she will enter the Wu family's grave, otherwise she will be a lonely ghost.

It seems ridiculous to modern people, but it was a very important thing for the superstitious ancients who paid attention to funerals.

And whether she can be buried in the ancestral grave of the Wu family or even buried with the warrior Xun depends on the wishes of the Wu Yuanqing brothers, and they have the right to decide.

So she resented the two brothers, but she always had some unrealistic expectations.

If someone comes to tell her, I can ask Wu Yuanqing and the two brothers to take you back and bury you with the warrior Xun, but she can agree to marry your daughter to me.

Following her and scolding the two of them will not please her, it will only annoy her because she broke the last hope in her heart.

So Chen Jingke half comforted and half promised: "Don't worry, the two senior brothers will definitely figure it out, and then Wu and I will come to participate."

Mrs. Wu was not confused, she immediately guessed what he wanted to express, and said a little excitedly: "Okay, okay, so I can feel relieved."

As a nobleman, she knew very well that she had no son, and there was only one way to return to the Wu family. With external help, Wu Yuanqing and the two brothers had no choice but to take her back.

Who is the external force she can rely on?Only the son-in-law.

But how many sons-in-law are willing to take care of this mess?The eldest son-in-law Helan Anshi has a prominent family background, if she is willing to stand up, why would she be kicked out of the house?

Now that Chen Jingke hinted that he would help her go back, how could she be unhappy.

With this promise, the subsequent conversation will go more smoothly.

The old lady liked everything about him, and everything he said was right.It is wrong to say that the child is still young, and it is not intentional.

Considering that she should not bother too much when she just woke up, Chen Jingke offered to leave several times, but she enthusiastically stayed behind.

After talking like this for more than an hour, she couldn't bear it anymore so she let him go, and even took the initiative to let Wu Shu see him off.

After coming out of the house, the two walked out slowly side by side. Wu Shu was in a very complicated mood and said, "Mother hasn't been this happy for a long time, and she rarely smiles when she wakes up this time. Thank you for making her happy."

Chen Jingke stopped, stared into her eyes and said, "Do you think I'm coaxing her?"

Expectation, surprise and disbelief flashed in Wu Shu's eyes, and he said, "You..."

Chen Jingke said solemnly: "For you, I will not only let her return to the Wu family in a fair and honest manner, but also let her be buried with her uncle in the future. This is a promise a man makes to a woman."

Wu Shu was so teased by his words that he couldn't help himself, and rushed to embrace him emotionally, saying: "My real man, you are so kind to me, I even suspect this is a dream."

Without saying a word, Chen Jingke aimed at the wet lips and printed it.Wu Shu didn't resist as before, and hugged his neck to respond fiercely.

At this time, Wu Chang came out of the room and almost screamed when he saw this scene, he quickly covered his mouth and retreated, hiding in the crack of the door to peep.

It took a while for the two to let go, Wu Shu's cheeks flushed red and his eyes blurred as if drunk, Chen Jingke teased and said: "Now I know it's not a dream."

Wu Shu said dreamily: "It's more like a dream."

Then she realized what she said, and although she was very ashamed, she didn't act like an ostrich, but gave him a sideways look and said: "You are getting worse and worse."

Chen Jingke jokingly said: "Then you like it or not, and if you don't like it, you won't be like this in the future."

Wu Shu was so ashamed and annoyed that he lifted his powder fist like a hammer, but the force was neither painful nor itchy, at best it was a massage.

After the molestation, Chen Jingke talked about the business, saying: "Tell me about the two senior brothers, I really want to find a way."
