The perfect brother-in-law reborn

After more than half a month, Chu Nan finally recovered to almost the same level. Every day when he got up, he would practice some weird moves. He didn't stop until the sun was high and his forehead was sweating. The two maids, laughing and laughing in the small courtyard every day, are much better than the gloomy appearance before.

Every day Chu Nan went to chat with his ancestors, and then came back to play with Chu Yue. Chu Yue made no secret of her intimacy with Chu Nan, chasing and playing around the house every day, playing childish games, and sometimes Yang Mei also played with her. Being dragged around by Chu Yue and often begging for forgiveness with a smile, he finally gained some mortal air.

A few days later, Chu Yue was reprimanded by Chu Yuan in the room, she pouted and went back to Chu Nan's small courtyard to pack her things, and reluctantly went back to live with her ancestor.

Then Chu Nan also went to Chu Yuan's study room, and before he entered, he heard the sound of arguing in the room. Chu Nan thought about it, the only one in the Chu family who dared to quarrel with Chu Yuan was the wife of the main house of the Chu family.

Chu Nan didn't have any interest in the affairs between the couple, so he deliberately made some noises, and sure enough, the room fell silent.

Chu Yuan sighed and said, "It's Nan'er, come in."

When Chu Nan entered, he didn't ask An to kneel, but just stood aside with his head bowed.

Chu Yuan has always been strong in the family, and he always said that he was the same, but he couldn't subdue the son in front of him.After being slapped by Mrs. Chu when he was a child, Chu Nan went to find Chu Yuan crying and was beaten back impatiently by Chu Yuan. Since then, he never called his father, and never gave Mrs. Chu a good face.Later, Chu Yuan beat Chu Nan severely, and since then, Chu Nan never practiced the Chu family's family martial arts again. Once he beat him so hard, Chu Nan simply ran away from home and did not come back until three years later. During this period, I don’t know how many times Chu Yuan was scolded by his ancestors. Now that he saw Chu Nan’s appearance, he just pretended not to see it. He asked about Chu Nan’s injuries in detail, and pointed out that Chu Nan should get along with Yang Mei. Seeing Chu Nan's absent-minded agreement, after thinking about it, he still said: "Seven days later, His Majesty will hold a banquet in the palace to welcome General Yang Shouye who is returning to Beijing to report on his duties. This is a family banquet and there are not many people. Third brother follow me..."

It was only then that Chu Nan knew what Chu Yuan and Chu Yuan were arguing about before they came here. The younger generation can't make much achievements, and the fastest way to get ahead is to get the emperor's appreciation, at least to get acquainted with each other.Chu Nan shook his head and said, "I haven't healed up from my injury, and if I have any experience in this field, I won't go."

The Chu family looked at Chu Nan in surprise, and said with a smile: "Nan'er really doesn't want to go? I said just now that your father will take you to see and see. But since the injury is still not healed, you can rest at home and recuperate. There will be opportunities in the future. "

Chu Nan smiled, his mother really knows how to behave.Since marrying into the Chu family, the Chu family has firmly controlled the inside and outside of the Chu family, except for the old lady who dare not interfere in matters, even if a servant kills a chicken, he has to ask her for instructions.However, the Chu family is indeed very capable. She manages the Chu family in an orderly manner. She is a well-known virtuous housemate. She ate to death, not to mention Chu Yuan's concubines.

Chu Yuan felt that among all his sons he owed Chu Nan the most, he frowned and said, "This is Yangmei's father's reception banquet, and most of the people who went there were military generals, so it's not appropriate for An'er to go."

Chu's face remained unchanged, and she said softly: "Didn't Nan'er say that his injury has not healed yet. What's more, Nan'er's position is too low, and he doesn't know much about officialdom. If he goes there, he will be afraid that something will go wrong. Learn slowly first." Rules, talk about it later."

Chu Nan couldn't help laughing out loud. The Chu family really seized every opportunity to fight for Chu An's succession rights. The Chu family is the general. If Chu Kuang returns to Beijing, the Chu family will most likely be inherited by Chu Kuang. It seems that the Chu family is There is a sense of crisis.It turned out that Chu Nan ran away for three years because he was tired of this kind of low-tech fighting. Now that he came back and saw these things, he couldn't help being a little funny, and said lightly: "In the future, I will have a way to support myself, and Chu Kuang probably doesn't care about family property. How much interest, hey, it’s been so many years, and you still can’t see through it?”

Apart from the fact that Chu Nan has no background in the Chu family, Chu Kuang has been in the army for five years and has never returned to the Chu Mansion in Yanjing. To protect the child's nature, the Chu family always subconsciously set up many imaginary enemies for Chu An.

Chu Nan's few words made Chu's smile forced, and Chu Yuan's eyes were cold.Looking at the husband and wife, Chu Nan thought to himself that they are also two poor people.Thinking that Chu Nan was about to get up and leave, he saw the butler Zhao Jiu hurried over.

Zhao Jiu was obese, and it was even more unbearable when it was hot today. He wiped his sweat with his sleeve, panting, and said, "Master, madam, this is a famous post from Prince Jing."

The Chu family naturally knew the terrifying influence that Prince Jing, who doesn't care about world affairs, had, so he didn't dare to take the famous post and asked, "Why does Prince Jing want to find Master?"

Zhao Jiu glanced at Chu Nan, and said in a low voice: "The servant asked, it was for the fifth young master, not the master."

The Chu family also took a look at Chu Nan, and said in surprise, "The young master? Did you ask clearly?"

Zhao Jiu hurriedly said: "Prince Jing's housekeeper sent it, saying that he heard that the fifth young master had recovered from his injury, and the lord invited him to catch up on the old days."

The Chu family curled their lips secretly, what old things do Chu Nan and Prince Jing have to talk about?When Chu Nan was young, he took Li Zhen to beat Prince Jing's son Li Liang, turned over Prince Jing's most precious grape trellis, and at most poisoned a few dogs in Prince Jing's mansion, but he had nothing to do with anything else.But since it was the housekeeper of Prince Jing’s mansion, I can’t go wrong if I think about it, so I don’t want to ask too many questions, I just told the housekeeper to remember to prepare gifts, don’t be rude, and wanted to tell Chu Nan a few words, but unexpectedly, Chu Nan had already turned around and left .

Chu Nan left the Chu Mansion, but saw that the old housekeeper of Prince Jing’s Mansion hadn’t left yet. After all, he was a good young man who knew how to respect the old and love the young. All I need is an order, how dare I bother you."

The head of Housekeeper Yue is extremely tall and handsome, but when he smiles, people can't help but feel close to him, but such a big man was born as a eunuch, which makes people sigh.

Although Housekeeper Yue is an eunuch, he is half feminine, and said with a hearty smile: "The palace is not far from here, and it is good to go out to exercise your muscles and bones. Yue heard that the prince mentioned you, so he asked for his order. Well, I am If you want to take a carriage, you can go back to the mansion and call."

Chu Nan was very pleasing to this seemingly rough and unruly housekeeper. He heard that he was a famous hero in the green forest, and was tricked into entering the palace to become a eunuch. After entering Prince Jing's mansion, even after so many years, the arrogance of those years is still the same. Except for Prince Jing, no one he met would call himself a slave. This arrogance alone is impressive.

Chu Nan shook his head and said, "Where is Steward Yue, boy, I haven't got out of bed for a long time, and I just happened to be walking to inhale the ground." He waved away the driver who was about to come, and followed Steward Yue towards the outside of Luliu Lane go.

The capital is said to have three major stewards, namely Steward Zhao of the Chu Mansion, Butler Yue of the Prince Jing Mansion, and Steward Guo of the Duke Jing Mansion.Zhao Jiu from the Chu family relied on his seniority. He followed Chu Yuan's father to travel all over the world. According to his seniority, he was higher than Chu Yuan's generation. He had contacts with many important figures of the older generation. Butler Guo of the mansion relied on his ability. Under his control, the Jingguo Mansion seemed to be the first in the capital; and King Jing kept aloof from the world all year round, and Butler Yue was faintly the spokesperson of the Jingwang Mansion in the capital.King Jing was the Prince of Liang in his early years, who would dare to overlook his hidden strength and influence?

Chu Nan saw the brilliance of this housekeeper Yue, and chatted with Chu Nan along the way, from the great victory in Mobei to some lace news in the capital, although they were all mentioned briefly, but it obviously brought the two closer together. human distance.Chu Nan's mood also became much lighter, and he secretly lamented Butler Yue's good methods.

Prince Jing's Mansion is not far from Luliu Lane, but it is surrounded by ordinary dwellings. The vast Jingwang Mansion also looks very ordinary. There is no gold powder-painted door commonly used by big families, and there is not even a porter at the open door.Following Steward Yue into Prince Jing's Mansion, he saw that the huge Prince Jing's Mansion was planted with farm crops everywhere, even the decorative flowers were very common and common, and even the ponds used to keep cool and raise fish had been dug up a lot. The gap is used as a source of irrigation water for all parts of the palace.Although it was not the first time seeing him, Chu Nan still couldn't help sighing.

Butler Yue led Chu Nan to the outside of a small courtyard, smiled and motioned for Chu Nan to go in by himself, then turned and left.

Chu Nan walked in slowly, and met Prince Jing, who was extremely low-key but well-known in the capital.Prince Jing was tall and thin, his hair was already a little gray, and it was obviously very disheveled with little care.The bronze-colored face is as dull as an ordinary old farmer's, and he doesn't wear luxurious clothes. His big hands with prominent veins are digging the ground with a shovel. From the yellow branches and leaves on the ground, it can be seen that the crops are newly harvested. What is this prince doing.

King Jing got up slowly, thumped his numb thighs, and said to Chu Nan with a smile, "I'm getting old, I'm getting more and more useless, and I feel dizzy after just doing it for a while." Looking at a small gazebo not far away, he motioned for Chu Nan to go and sit down by himself.Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he smoothly left a few funny mud marks on his face.

Chu Nan didn't show his courtesy to help the rickety old man, and sat on the stone bench in the gazebo by himself, drinking tea patiently.

After a while, Prince Jing changed into clean clothes, sat down beside Chu Nan with a smile, looked at Chu Nan, and sighed, "Hey, I really caught up with you, the mansion cooked some edamame today, it must be cheap is you."
