Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 5 The Flower of Fortune Blooms in Kyoto

When Mother Chu woke up early in the morning and told Granny Li about her decision, Granny Li's eyes lit up, and she kept praising Mother Chu for her understanding, and she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.

Mother Chu and Chu Qingyan looked at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes.

But at this moment, Father Chu suddenly jumped out, and he asked solemnly, "Dan Niang, why do we have to leave here?"

"This..." Mother Chu didn't know how to explain this to him for a while.

"Father, we have to go back to the capital, because there is our home in the capital." Chu Qingyan comforted him.

"No, I won't leave. Our home is here." Father Chu became very shrewd at this time and remained unmoved.

Chu Qingyan continued to smile and said, "Father, don't you want to eat candied haws and sweet-scented osmanthus cake? We can't get them here, but they are available in Kyoto! My daughter will take you there to eat!"

"Candied haws?" Father Chu's eyes lit up immediately.

Chu Qingyan nodded.

"Is there osmanthus cake?"

Keep nodding.

"There is roast duck, there are radish heads..."

Nod and nod.

Chu Qingyan thought that her father had been persuaded by her, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but saw the joyful father drooping his face again.

"Daddy, what's the matter?" she asked suspiciously.

"But Dao Cha Cong is not here, I want to wait for him to go with him." Father Chu squatted at the door, looking very pitiful.

Chu Qingyan was ashamed. Last night, as soon as Daddy entered the room and couldn't see the purple-faced person, he started to make trouble. He didn't know how the person who had only met once caught Daddy's eyes. I didn't expect that he hadn't forgotten it yet. They left without leaving any news, but she couldn't tell her father that the man left them behind, so she thought about it for a while, then squatted in front of her father, and said with a smile, "Dad, because I knew we were going back The capital, so I have already gone to the capital to wait for us."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly, or we won't be able to catch up with him! I'm still waiting for him to weave a net for me!" Father Chu jumped up, turned around excitedly, and urged Tanniang to tidy up quickly. Luggage, I can't wait to fly to Kyoto in no time.

Chu Qingyan was speechless for a moment, why was dad so worried about someone he had only met once?But as long as you can convince daddy to set off, it doesn't matter whether you put the onion upside down or the garlic upside down.

And the purple-faced man who was being missed by the father and daughter of the Chu family was sitting on the horseback, waiting for the report from his subordinates, and his entire face was covered by a mask glowing with silver light.

"Master, I just received a secret report from Kyoto." The subordinate glanced at him, hesitant.

The person who was watching from a distance turned his eyes to his subordinates, his eyes darkened, "Speak directly, don't hesitate."

"Master, the Supreme Emperor returned to Beijing a month ago." The subordinate thought for a while and picked a relatively safe topic.

"Oh?" He raised his eyebrows. Grandpa Huang has been away from the capital for more than five years. Now that he is coming back at this time, he was a bit surprised. However, he felt that the eyes of his subordinates were a little strange, so he couldn't help saying, "What else ?”

The subordinate glanced at the master, and immediately lowered his head and reported quickly, "The Supreme Emperor has arranged a marriage for you a few days ago."

"What did you say?" Xuan Mo's eyes suddenly darkened, every time Grandpa Huang came back, he always gave him a surprise surprise!

The subordinate was so overwhelmed by the master's gloomy gaze that he couldn't lift his head. The master seemed to be slightly annoyed, but he wanted to cry in his heart. Getting angry is even more terrible.Just as he was thinking about how to speak clearly, the steed in front of him had already left in the dust.

The scene returns to Mao Village.

Chu Qingyan and Chu's father and Chu's mother simply cleaned up the things and got into a carriage prepared by the Chu family, while Li Pozi sat in another carriage with the rest of the servants.

Mrs. Li and Wang Ting exchanged looks, so they sat one on the carriage and the other on the horse, talking close to each other.

"It seems that this family is quite sensible!" Wang Ting looked at the carriage behind with his eyes raised on Mrs. Li.

At this time, Mrs. Li has completely lost the hypocrisy and respect she had in front of Chu Qingyan's family before. She raised her fingers and looked terrified, "It is their blessing to go to the Chu family to enjoy the glory and wealth, and there is no reason to push it out. .Even if they don't agree, we still have ways to get them back."

What Chu Qingyan didn't know was that if their family didn't cooperate obediently, what awaited them would be a lot of treatment.

Wang Ting chuckled, "That's right, but then again, we have successfully completed what the master told us, and the master will definitely reward us greatly when we go back!"

Hearing that Mrs. Li's eyes flashed greedily, "Isn't it? As long as this girl goes back, the crisis of the Chu family can be solved, and we can be regarded as capable confidantes in front of the master!"

Thinking back to the time when the master told them that they had to bring Master Chu's family back, and that she would be rewarded a lot if they completed the task, Mrs. Li laughed even more.

Wang Ting glanced at the carriage behind him, feeling very happy, as if a bright future lay ahead.

At this time, Chu's father was nestling in the corner playing with the bamboo dragonfly that his daughter had woven out of withered grass, while Chu Qingyan was sitting face to face with Chu's mother, with anticipation and anxiety about the unknown on his face.

"Mother, just now I felt that Mrs. Li and Wang Ting looked a little weird, but I couldn't tell." Chu Qingyan pursed her lips and said.

Chu's mother sighed, "Mother also felt it. If it's really hard to go back to Chu's house, it's not like we haven't left before when we come out again."

Chu Qingyan heard the sadness in her mother's words, and she couldn't help but feel anxious. Mother is a woman, and she has to face the difficulties of a foolish husband and a weak woman just after getting married. It is not easy to maintain it for so many years. How could she bear to do it again? Seeing mother struggling with dad again?
She stretched out her hand to hold her mother's hands that were no longer delicate, and said in a comforting tone, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter has grown up now and will protect you and Daddy, and we also have silver around us, so we are not afraid that we will not be able to do it again." Get a foothold in Kyoto."

Mother Chu looked at her daughter's sallow and thin face due to lack of food all the year round, and blamed herself in her heart. She stretched out her hand and hugged her daughter in her arms, her voice choked with sobs, "Caicai, mother's good daughter—— "

At this time, Father Chu saw this scene, and he also leaned over to hug the mother and daughter, imitating Mother Chu's way, "Caicai, mother's good daughter—"

Chu's mother and Chu Qingyan couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, and the sadness in the air was immediately diluted by Chu's father's gag.

Chu Qingyan turned her head, just in time for the curtain of the car to be blown by the wind, and the scenery outside the window was unobstructed.

The pink and white Fugui flowers are fluttering in the wind, the petals are layered, delicate and bright, making people pitiful.

Chu Qingyan bent her lips slightly, no matter what the way ahead, since she has chosen, she should go on firmly.
