wife and husband

Chapter 36

Chu Yunfei had been waiting at the gate of the city early.

Chu Yunfeng got out of the carriage, looked at Chu Yunfei who was smiling smugly, and was silent for a while before calling out, "Brother."

"Is everything okay?" Chu Yunfei asked gently.

Chu Yunfeng nodded, Xia Cao helped Shanzao get out of the carriage, Shanzao squatted halfway and heard Chu Yunfei hurriedly say, "Siblings, don't be too polite, you have a body, so you don't need these vain courtesy."

Xia Cao was still a little sluggish, Chu Yunfeng had already helped Shanzao up with one hand, "Brother is very easy-going, pay more attention to your body." Turning around, he said to Chu Yunfei, "Brother, I have to thank the emperor face to face."

Chu Yunfei waved his hand, "Let's go back to the Marquis's Mansion first. The Emperor is busy with everything. Recently, the court is preparing for the martial arts test. After a few days, wait for the Emperor's order before entering the palace."

Chu Yunfeng also knew that the emperor was not what he wanted to see, "Then I have to worry about it."

Chu Yunfei's expression darkened, "My brother, are you still so polite?"

Chu Yunfeng remained silent, helped Shanzao to sit in the carriage, followed Chu Yunfei's suggestion and rode on a tall horse, and the group entered the capital in a mighty manner.

Shanzao was sitting alone in the carriage, and it was the first time she came to the capital. Hearing the loud hawking outside, she was so curious that she gently opened a corner of the curtain, and Shanzao secretly looked out.

There are many stores, and there are hawkers hawking. From time to time, hawkers holding candied haws pass by, and there are entertainers playing juggling not far away. She was watching it curiously, when she heard Xia Cao cough lightly, carefully reminding, "Madam, You're... out of order."

Shanzao let out an oh, and quickly put down the curtains, she was very confused, she didn't know what was wrong with her just looking at it.But thinking that this might be the case in the capital, he didn't dare to be contemptuous, sat in the carriage well-behaved, and didn't dare to glance outside.

Sitting in the carriage was boring and boring, Shanzao sat drowsy, until she heard Xia Cao shouting outside the carriage, "Madam please get out of the carriage." She woke up with a jerk.

She opened the curtain of the carriage, Chu Yunfeng stretched out his hand to pick her up with a smile on his face, but Xia Cao stood beside Chu Yunfeng aggrieved, Shanzao felt warm in his heart, and slowly got out of the carriage with Chu Yunfeng's hand on the wooden stool.

Hou Mansion is very big and beautiful.

This was Shanzao's first impression, but before he had time to take a closer look, Shanzao was attracted by a gorgeously dressed lady standing half a step behind Chu Yunfei. Strong temperament.She took a step forward, nodded slightly to Chu Yunfeng and Shanzao, "Second uncle and younger siblings have worked hard all the way.

Chu Yunfeng saluted, "Hi, sister-in-law." Seeing Chu Yunfeng salute, Shanzao hurriedly squatted down, because he was not used to it, this blessing salute was awkward, "I have seen sister-in-law."

The disdain in Princess Anyang's eyes flashed, but there was no trace of it on her face, and her actions were gentle and friendly, "My brother and sister are healthy, so you don't need to be so polite. You should be tired after standing for so long. Come in and sit down."

Chu Yunfei nodded approvingly to Princess Anyang, who smiled warmly.Everyone went into Chunhe Residence together, and after the guests and hosts sat down, Anyang ordered someone to bring the child to meet them.

Not long after, a wet nurse came in carrying a boy who was about three years old and was carved in pink and jade. When Princess Anyang saw the child, her tone softened, "Shu Ning, come and meet your second uncle and second aunt."

Chu Shuning just woke up from a nap, still staring in a daze, glanced at Chu Yunfeng and Shanzao, then turned his head and lay on the nurse's shoulder, squinted his eyes and began to doze off again.

Princess Anyang glanced at Chu Yunfei quickly, and saw that Chu Yunfei had no expression on his face, so she took her son from the nurse's arms with distress, and Chu Shuning called out softly, mother, and fell asleep.

"Second uncle, brother and sister, don't be surprised, the child is ignorant, I will definitely teach him in the future." Princess Anyang coaxed her son a few words before speaking softly to Chu Yunfeng and Shanzao.

Shanzao hurriedly whispered, "It's okay, children are like this."

As she said that, she ordered Xia Cao to take out one of her bags and open it. Inside were all the cloth shoes she made by herself. The bigger ones were obviously for men, and the more delicate ones, with patterns embroidered on them, were for women. There is also a pair of children's tiger-toed shoes.

Shanzao took the shoes, hesitated for a moment, and said bravely, "These are the shoes I made for my uncle, sister-in-law and nephew. Although they don't look good, they are just a small thought from me. If my sister-in-law doesn't mind, Just accept it."

Princess Anyang was pleasantly surprised, and the busy people took it to see it, and couldn't stop praising it.

Chu Yunfei coughed lightly, Princess Anyang quickly ended her praise, and heard Chu Yunfei say, "Second brother, you and your younger siblings should live in Tachunju, it's quiet and the environment is good, you go and rest first, come over at night Have a meal."

Chu Yunfeng agreed, thanked Chu Yunfei and his wife, and took Shanzao to Tachunju.

As soon as Chu Yunfeng and his wife left, Chu Yunfei also got up, and Princess Anyang hurriedly handed Chu Shuning to the nurse, "Where is Lord Hou going?"

"Go back to Yunyang Residence and sleep for a while." Yunyang Residence is the residence of Chu Yunfei and Princess Anyang.

Princess Anyang was overjoyed, "I will serve Lord Hou to rest."

Chu Yunfei looked back at her with a smile, "I'll go to the study room first, and I'll be there in a quarter of an hour."

Princess Anyang smiled happily, "Then I will go back and make arrangements first."

After Chu Yunfei left, a woman took the shoes from Shanzao and asked Princess Anyang, "Princess, these shoes..."

Princess Anyang hurried back to the house, and said casually, "You can figure it out."

Tachun residence.

Tachun Juyuan had arranged for four big maids, Chunlan, Chunmei, Chunhe, Chuntao, a mother in charge, Mother Zhao, and several little maids. Along with Shanzao came Xiacao. There are so many people, I'm really not used to it suddenly, let alone Shanzao, I don't know where to put my hands and feet.

The four maidservants wanted to enter the house to wait on them, Chu Yunfeng looked at the confusion, and waved his hand to let them all go down, and ordered them not to come in without the permission of himself and Shanzao.

The room seemed much more comfortable without Renshanzao, and Chu Yunfeng also breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm really not used to seeing so many people when I come here."

Shanzao blinked and blinked, "Did you have so many people serving you when you were young?"

Chu Yunfeng thought about it for a while, "It seems that there are more than now. I remember there are still a few servants."

Shanzao looked at him seriously, "It's annoying to be watched by so many people."

Chu Yunfeng froze for a moment, then laughed loudly, "I think about it, it seems to be true, so at that time every day I thought about how to get rid of them and sneak out to play, and it was because of this that I escaped..."

Chu Yunfeng was silent.

Shanzao never knew what happened that year. It was Chu Yunfeng's injury. She didn't intend to ask if he didn't tell.

The two were quiet for a while, Chu Yunfeng asked someone to bring hot water, the husband and wife washed their faces and burned their feet, went to bed and slept, and sat in the carriage for a whole day, it was really not an easy job.

In the evening, Chunlan stood at the door and called them. Chu Yunfeng woke up from his sleep, and he woke up before Chunlan yelled the second time. He asked Chunlan to go down, and Chu Yunfeng coaxed and yelled to wake Shanzao up. Sichun came in to serve.

After Sichun came in, Chunlan Chunmei went straight to Chu Yunfeng, Chu Yunfeng waved his hand, "You don't need to serve me in the future, just take care of Madam. If Madam is unhappy in any way, I will not spare you."

Sichun lowered her head and agreed, but she didn't show too much respect. They were the maids of the Hou's mansion, not the second master's who appeared suddenly. Their masters were Marquis Pingning and Princess Anyang.

Shanzao had never seen such a formation before, obediently let Sichun take care of her to wash her face, dress her, comb her hair in a fashionable bun, and put all kinds of pearls and emeralds on it. I couldn't help being stunned.Is this peach blossom-faced and charming person really me?
Chu Yunfeng half leaned on the heated kang and watched Shanzao dressing up comfortably. First, watching Shanzao getting dressed was really pleasing to the eye, and second, he was worried about letting Shanzao out of his sight.

Ever since he received the imperial decree and returned to the capital, Chu Yunfeng often felt that the deliberately forgotten memories of his childhood were slowly coming back. His mind opened early, and he had already understood a lot when he was seven years old.

How did the mother kill a pregnant concubine? He was almost abducted twice. When his concubine's sister was spotted by the then King Ming and wanted to be a side concubine, how was it discovered by an aunt when she was offering incense? There was a "secret relationship", which caused the father to order to kill the concubine in private, and claimed that he died of a sudden illness...

Too much darkness, because he was young, some servants thought he didn't understand, and he overheard him secretly chewing his tongue. Later, something happened, his family was ruined, and he thought he would never return to the capital. Still bent on getting him back to the capital.

Shanzao doesn't understand, but he understands.No matter what the eldest brother is thinking, since he hopes to be a powerful arm, then marriage is inevitable, and Shanzao has become a stumbling block.

In the eyes of those in positions of authority, women are nothing, let alone women who are powerless and useless. As for children, women can give birth to more children.

There is no one he can trust here, he must personally protect Shanzao, his women and children.

Seeing Shanzao walking over with stiff limbs and a stiff neck, Chu Yunfeng laughed loudly, "It's just clothes, look at you, it's like being tortured."

Shanzao pouted and said unconvinced, "Come and try it on, I'm afraid that the clothes will be trampled, and the jewelry on the head will fall off."

Chu Yunfeng touched her face comfortingly, and said softly, "If you step on it, it will be broken, and if it is broken, there will be more. This jewelry won't fall off, so just walk away freely."

Shanzao relaxed a little when he heard the words, but stiffened again after a while, "I'm still afraid, these clothes must be very expensive, it's not good to trample on them."

Chu Yunfeng looked around, "Why don't I cut it for you, like before."

Shanzao hurriedly protected the skirt, "It can't be cut, it's a pity if it is broken."

Chu Yunfeng patted her head, "I'll pull you, you walk generously, I can't fall you, just be careful not to step on it, if you don't want me to cut it, relax, or I will see trouble, just go The scissors are gone."

Shanzao carefully carried the skirt and walked around twice, thinking that he would not step on the skirt, so he nodded, "I can just carry it a little bit, this is not our clothes, if it breaks, there is no compensation."

Chu Yunfeng laughed, "It's because there is no money to pay, so I have to be generous. If it breaks, I will throw it to them. Let's go back directly. I don't have any money."

The husband and wife made fun of a few words before walking to the dining room hand in hand, followed by Sichun and looked at each other, seeing surprise and envy in each other's eyes.
