Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 49

Ding Nanhou Mansion, Mrs. Xiao went straight to the study in the front yard as soon as she returned to the mansion.

The guard guarding the gate didn't dare to stop him, so he hurriedly took half a step back.

Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly and pushed open the door.The entrance is a spacious and bright study room, behind the desk, sits a man in black clothes with a cold face - he is Dingnanhou, Xiao Zhenyun.

Hearing the sound of Mrs. Xiao coming in, he closed the official document in his hand, raised his head, raised his sword eyebrows slightly, flashing brightly, "Why is mother here?" He said, got up, walked around the desk, and walked towards Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao spat bitterly, "Zhenyun, mother just went to the inn to meet your future daughter-in-law, and wanted to pick her up, but I didn't expect that the old lady of the Lu family took the lead. I was so angry." !"

Xiao Zhenyun frowned when Mrs. Xiao mentioned his future daughter-in-law, turned the wrench in his hand, and asked in a deep voice, "What does this have to do with Mrs. Lu?"

Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly, and told about Mrs. Lu's illness in the inn.When it was over, he cursed Mrs. Lu severely.

"So, Chu Ci is a doctor?" Xiao Zhenyun's eyes were filled with interest, as if he had some interest.

Mrs. Xiao nodded, "Miss Jianmei mentioned in her letter that she used to be very popular in the capital and was a famous female doctor."

When Xiao Zhenyun heard the words, the interest in his eyes deepened, and then he looked at Mrs. Xiao, and comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, it should belong to your son, and you can't run away."

Hearing her son's comfort, Mrs. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand, stroked his bronzed handsome face, and said sincerely, "My son is the most outstanding son in the world. It is her who can marry you from Chu Ci." What a blessing! If you are willing to make a move, she will be caught without a fight."

Xiao Zhenyun held Mrs. Xiao's hand, nodded lightly, "Son, take mother back to Sandalwood Garden!"

Mrs. Xiao gave a "hmm", followed him to go out, and continued to tell Xiao Zhenyun, "My son must get that Chu Ci as soon as possible, so that my mother will have a good time in front of Mrs. Lu." Bundle."

Xiao Zhenyun pursed his lips tightly, did not speak, and only responded lightly.

On the other side, the Lu family.

After Chu Ci got out of the carriage, he discovered that Mrs. Lu was the first wife of the only king with a different surname in the previous dynasty—the King of Nanjun.

And the so-called Lu Mansion is actually Nanjun Prince's Mansion.

She stood under the door plaque of the county palace, a little dazed.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu smiled softly, "Isn't it because I was frightened?"

Chu Ci quickly shook his head, "The old lady was joking, this junior was just a little surprised."

"Just get used to it in the future!" Mrs. Lu gave Chu Ci a meaningful look, took her hand and walked in.

The two entered from the side door of the Prince's Mansion, walked through the corridor in the front yard, walked through the flowers and willows, and walked around the verandah for a long time before arriving at the Heming Hall where Mrs. Lu lived.

When Chu Ci saw the word Hemingtang, he almost immediately thought of Hexuantang in the Prince Regent's Mansion in the capital.

Thinking of Concubine Yun who was suffering from tuberculosis, she sighed insignificantly.

Mrs. Lu has a delicate heart, how can she not see the sudden change in her face.

He shook her somewhat cold hand, and asked softly, "What's wrong, but what's wrong with my Hemingtang?"

Hearing that Mrs. Lu cared about her so much, Chu Ci quickly shook her head, looked at the word Hemingtang again, and said, "Madam Xie is concerned, it's nothing, just remembered some unpleasant things suddenly. It's over, let me help you in!"

"Okay!" Mrs. Lu took a deep look at Chu Ci, didn't ask any further questions, and walked in with her hand.

After entering the Nuan Pavilion, before sitting for a long time, there were voices begging for advice from outside.

Mrs. Lu looked at Chu Ci's brows and eyes like the breeze and the moon, and said with a smile, "Since you want to live here for a while, why don't you also meet my sons-in-law and grandchildren?"

After all, Chu Ci was under the eaves of others. Hearing the words, he did not refute. He nodded with a smile, and then winked at Yunniang beside him.

Yun Niang understood, and immediately backed away silently.

Later, within the time of a cup of tea, the juniors of the Lu Mansion filed in from outside.

Mrs. Lu has three sons, the eldest son has succeeded as the king of Nanjun, the second son and the youngest son are both biological, and they each have errands in Jinling City.

Further down, the king of Nanjun has another son and a daughter. The eldest son Lu Yifeng, 23 years old, is a well-known playboy in Jinling City.

The second master has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Lu Yi'an, 20 years old, the second son Lu Yihe, and the youngest daughter Lu Zhaoning, 13 years old, not engaged yet.

The third master got married late and had only one daughter, named Lu Ying.

A group of men and women in fine clothes came in from the outside, from honor to humble, stepped forward to salute Mrs. Lu one by one.

Mrs. Lu recommended to Chu Ci one by one, and Chu Ci stepped forward to salute.

The Lu family has long been rumored that there is a female doctor who saved the life of their ancestors, and each of them prepared a generous meeting gift.

And Chu Ci will not take things from the Lu family in vain.

She returned the gift with something she had made privately.

The female relatives gave whitening skin cream, while the male gave pills to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the essence.

The three masters of the Lu family seemed to have continued Mrs. Lu's kindness and kindness, and they did not dislike Chu Ci's lightness of courtesy, and they all smiled kindly at her.

The rest of the family, seeing the attitude of the Patriarch, whether they like it or not, they all have smiles on their faces.

Only one person, after taking the medicine from Chu Ci, weighed it twice in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and said contemptuously, "The one I gave you is the purple jade worn by Princess Wu, the head of the four beauties of the Warring States Period 1000 years ago." Chai, you just use these few pills to fool the young master? It's too ugly to eat!"

The one who spoke was Lu Yifeng, the little prince who no one in the Lu family would dare to mess with.

Before Chu Ci could respond, Mrs. Lu raised her crutches and hit King Lu Xiaojun, hating iron for not being able to make a steel path, "Nie Yi! Kneel down for me, Ah Ci is the savior who saved my life, That's how you treat your grandmother's savior!"

Lu Yifeng also obeyed. Under the murderous glare of Nanjun King, he knelt lazily on the ground, "I don't know if grandma punished me to kneel in the ancestral hall this time, or copied the family rules?"

Old Madam Lu was annoyed by his indifferent attitude, and hit her with a cane, "I...I'll kill you bastard!"

Chu Ci watched King Lu Xiaojun grinning from the beating, couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Seeing that someone dared to take him as a joke, King Lu Xiaojun immediately became angry.He narrowed his eyes and looked at him and asked angrily.

Chu Ci blocked Mrs. Lu's crutches, then walked towards King Lu Xiaojun, looked down at him and said, "I'm laughing at myself for being careless. The gift I gave you just now is indeed a little light."

When King Lu Xiaojun heard the words, he snorted coldly, his face was arrogant, but in fact his ears were red because of Chu Ci's submissiveness.

"..." Chu Ci remained silent, silently took out another bottle of medicine from his cuff, and handed it to him, "This pill seems to be more suitable for the little county king."

King Lu Xiaojun turned his head slowly, glanced at it, neither salty nor salty, and asked casually, "Isn't it still medicine? How is it different from the bottle just now?"

"Of course it's very different!" Chu Ci said, shaking his index finger lightly at him, and then explained lightly, "The first bottle of medicine is for strengthening the foundation and cultivating the vitality, suitable for ordinary people to eat, can nourish the spirit, concentrate Attention. And this bottle is a great tonic, suitable for you who hang out in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, the dance pavilion and the singing stage all year round, indulge in sensuality, and guard the five girls at night..."

"You!" King Lu Xiaojun looked at Chu Ci, blushing as if he was about to bleed.

Chu Ciyun looked at him calmly, and made another stab, "Did the king of Xiaojun summon two concubines to sleep with him last night?"

King Lu Xiaojun's eyes widened, his voice was broken, "You, how do you know?"

"The scent of violets and hibiscus flowers on your body almost makes people faint!"

"..." King Lu Xiaojun was speechless, his face was blushing like a fire, and he looked at Chu Ci as if he wanted to eat someone.

The other people in the Nuan Pavilion were also staring at Chu Ci as if they were looking at a monster.

No one thought that a woman brought back by the old lady from the outside could actually restrain the bully in their family.

Nanjun Wang and Nanjun Wangfei almost cried with excitement.

The two looked at each other, confirming their eyes.

Princess Yu Nanjun stepped forward, held Chu Ci's hand tightly, and asked, "Girl, do you know if you are married?"

Chu Ci was bewildered and looked confused, then shook his head.

Seeing this, the princess of Nanjun was overjoyed, and directly proposed marriage, "Then do you mind, and make up a good name with this evil person in our house..."

Speaking of this, she looked at Chu Ci cautiously, and said nervously, "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to accept this evil person from my family, no matter whether you cripple him or cripple him in the future, I, the county prince and the old lady I don't have any opinions... If you feel that the master is unknown, after you get married, I will let the king of the county take the throne and pass on the throne to you. From now on, you will be the legitimate mistress of the Nanjun palace. You deal with..."

Chu Ci: "..."

King Lu Xiaojun: "..."

"Mother, am I your biological child, or is this woman your biological child?" Finally, he looked at Nanjun Wangfei with dissatisfaction and asked.

Princess Nanjun ignored him directly, as if she hadn't heard his voice, she just looked at Chu Ci, and asked Yin Yin, "How is it, Miss Chu, what do you think?"

To be honest, Chu Ci was somewhat tempted to be the master of the Lu family.

However, she had other worries in her heart.

Therefore, I thought about it again, then looked at Nanjun Wangfei, and said, "If you go back to Wangfei, I haven't made an engagement, but I have been married before?"

The princess of Nanjun was taken aback when she heard the words, and after a while, she lifted her lips and smiled, "It doesn't matter if you have been married. As long as you are willing, the entire Nanjun palace will be yours from now on."

"I... am still pregnant with the flesh and blood of my former husband." Chu Ci said again quietly.

Princess Nanjun was taken aback again.

Then, before she opened her mouth to compromise, King Lu Xiaojun hugged Princess Nanjun's leg tightly, "Mother, I beg you, please let me go... I can bear it even if you ask me to marry a widow, but my son I don't want to be covered by green clouds, be a turtle bastard, and be a father to other men's children!"

Nanjun Wangfei looked down at her son, frowned and asked, "Then are you willing to marry a wife now, so that you can earn fame in a down-to-earth manner in the future?"

King Lu Xiaojun didn't want to, "Mother, my son is still young, he can marry a wife, get a good name in the exam, and so on, just a few years later..."

Princess Nanjun's face turned cold for an instant, and then she turned her head to look at Chu Ci, "It doesn't matter whether the first child is Feng'er or not, as long as the second child is Feng'er's."

Chu Ci didn't expect Princess Nanjun to say that, she looked away and looked at King Lu Xiaojun sympathetically.

Damn, what kind of bastard do you have to be for Nanjun Princess to choose a wife for her so desperately!
This standard is as low as several thousand meters below sea level, right? !

"Chu Ciniang, the sincerity of the Nanjun Prince's Mansion is very clear. If you are willing, we can start the wedding today and send out invitations." Nanjun Wangfei looked at Chu Ci and said again.

Chu Ci frowned, glanced at Princess Nanjun, then King Lu Xiaojun, the red lips under the veil moved slightly, and said in a low voice, "Can I think about it again?"

Princess Nanjun nodded, "Of course."

Chu Ci smiled slightly, "Princess Xie Jun loves you very much."

On the other side, King Lu Xiaojun knelt on the ground, already too angry to speak.

Afterwards, Chu Ci talked with Princess Nanjun and Mrs. Lu for a while before being allowed to leave.

Mrs. Lu arranged for her to live in Langyue Residence, which is closer to Heming Hall.

The daily expenses and arrangement are the same as that of the eldest daughter Lu Zhaohua.

After Yunniang and Banxia arranged the ceremony, they entered the room and asked cautiously, "Girl, do you really want to marry King Lu Xiaojun?"

"Why, can't you?" Chu Ci frowned, looking at the two maidservants in front of him.

Yun Niang sighed, looked at her slightly swollen belly, and said, "But you are pregnant with the flesh and blood of the prince, if the prince finds out, he is afraid..."

"I'm afraid what?" Chu Ci laughed coldly, "It was he who abandoned me with his own hands. He was the one who was ruthless first. If he can marry again, why can't I marry again?"

"But..." Yunniang wanted to say something more.

But Chu Ci directly interrupted her, looked into her eyes, and said word by word, "If you want to keep chastity for your An Lang, that's your business, and if you want to build a chastity archway, it's also your business, but you don't have to. Apply your thoughts mechanically to me."

When Yun Niang heard Chu Ci say such harsh words, her eyes immediately turned red.

Seeing that she seemed to be crying but not crying, Chu Ci felt a little irritable in his heart, paused for a moment, and waved at her, "You go out first!"

"..." Yunniang didn't say a word, and walked out directly.

After she left, Chu Ci glanced at Ban Xia and found that she also looked cautious.

She said nothing, turned around and drank tea.

On the side, Mrs. Lu pointed to Chuci's maid, Biyue, and gave Banxia a wink, signaling her to go out first.

Ban Xia glanced at Chu Ci and saw that she had no objection before walking outside.

Chuci watched Banxia's figure disappear, and looked up at Biyue, "What do you want to say?"

Biyue squatted down and smiled softly, "The servant girls who have not been trained are always so petty. If the girl trusts the servant girl, she will hand over the two of them to the servant girl to train them. Within a month, the servant girl will definitely Give you a satisfactory result."

Hearing this, Chu Ci sized her up carefully, then nodded and said, "I believe you."

"Thank you miss for trusting me!" Bi Yue squatted down again.

Chu Ci lightly knocked his eyelids, feeling sleepy.

Seeing this, Biyue hurriedly said, "Miss, it's time to take a nap, this servant is making the bed." Then she turned around and walked towards the bed...

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

Early in the morning, Bixin from Hemingtang came to invite Chu Ci, saying that the old lady wanted to see her.

Knowing that the old lady was going to ask her for a result, Chu Ci simply tidied up, took Biyue, and followed Bixin to Heming Hall.

When she arrived at the Heming Hall, she noticed at a glance that there was a new plaque in the yard, but instead of the words "Heming Hall", it was Luyou Courtyard.

Chu Ci looked at those three words and felt warm in his heart.

After pausing for a moment, he followed Bi Xin and walked forward.

In the Nuan Pavilion, besides the old lady, indeed, the princess of Nanjun was also there.

"The younger generation has met the princess of the county and the old lady!" Chu Ci stepped forward to salute.

Mrs. Lu looked at her distressedly, and hurriedly said, "You are still pregnant, so there is no need to be polite."

After saying that, Bi Xin helped Chu Ci up with the old lady's gesture.

After Chu Ci stood still, the second-class maid next to her brought a chair covered with brocade cushions to her.

She sat down gracefully, looked at the county princess and the old lady who were sitting on the main seat, and asked politely, "I don't know what orders the old lady has for calling this junior."

When the old lady heard the words, she turned her head and glanced at the princess of the county.

The princess of the county immediately said, "A Ci, I want to ask you, how do you think about the matter between you and Feng'er?"

Chu Ci frowned slightly upon hearing what the princess of the county said, and said after a while, "I've already considered it."

"Well, what's the result?" Princess Jun doubted, her voice a little nervous.

Chu Ci said, "I want to...promise the princess of the county."

"Really?" Princess Nanjun said happily, "You really agreed?"

"But I have one condition."

"What conditions?" Princess Nanjun asked indifferently.

Chu Ci looked at Princess Nanjun, smiled slightly, and said, "I know, the princess of the county doesn't want me as a daughter-in-law, so she insists on welcoming me in, but because she likes me to discipline the little princess, so she compromises again and again."

Nanjun Wangfei heard her say this, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on her face.

Soon, Chu Ci said again, "I can promise the princess to marry into the Nanjun Palace and help you train the little prince, but... I will not have a husband and wife with the little prince. Wait until I train the little prince to be useful Finally, I hope, I can go and stay at will..."

"This... this is also good." Nanjun Wangfei's biggest goal is to hope that her son will be useful, and now she heard Chu Ci say this, but she hesitated for a while, and agreed.

Seeing that Princess Nanjun was willing to agree, Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief.

After a pause, he said again, "Since the princess of the county is willing to agree, she shouldn't mind, why don't you give me a letter of divorce now?"

Nanjun Wangfei looked at Chu Ciyun's calm and breezy appearance, and suddenly felt a little blocked.

In the end, it was Mrs. Lu who agreed on her behalf, and then asked Bixin to prepare pens and inks. She picked up the pens herself and wrote a letter of divorce for Xiaojun Wang.

Chu Ci was satisfied.

Princess Nanjun was also happy.

The next day, the invitation from the Lu family was sent out.

Dingnanhou Mansion, Sandalwood Courtyard, Mrs. Xiao looked at the invitation card in front of her, her face was ashen, she was so angry that if the sandalwood table in front of her was not too expensive, she would almost throw the table over.

The little maidservant who was standing by the side had suffered the loss last time, so she didn't dare to hide any more, and tried to comfort her, "Madam, you missed this daughter-in-law, and you will definitely find a better one in the future!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao raised her foot and kicked the little girl, kicking her to the ground, then widened her eyes, looked at her and said, "You know what, I'm going to decide on this daughter-in-law, just grab her!" Take it back too!"

The little maid crouched on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

Mrs. Xiao was silent for a while with a gloomy expression, raised her eyes, and ordered another little maid, "Go to the front yard, and invite Master Hou over here!"

"...Yes, old lady!" The little servant girl responded cautiously and ran outside.

About two quarters of an hour later, Xiao Zhenyun walked in from the outside after finishing his business.

As soon as you enter the Nuan Pavilion, you will be greeted by a smoky smell, which is simply too strong.He quickly held his breath, thinking to himself... Mother, I'm afraid she took off her shoes in the warm pavilion again!
Mrs. Hou has been working for several years, she just can't change this.Xiao Zhenyun was very disappointed about this.

Seeing Xiao Zhenyun coming in, Mrs. Xiao didn't care about putting on her shoes, so she ran towards her son on the ground, tugged at his sleeve and said, "Zhenyun, have you received the news? Crown Princess!"

Xiao Zhenyun looked down at his mother's big feet, frowned and said, "Can you put the shoes on first?"

Mrs. Xiao frowned when she heard the words, looked at Xiao Zhenyun with displeasure, pushed his chest and said, "You despise mother?"

"No son!" Xiao Zhenyun shook his head in despair.With every breath, he felt like he was going crazy.

After hearing the words, Mrs. Xiao immediately went along with the situation, "What should I wear? The house is burning with earth dragons. Wearing shoes makes it hard to cover up the fire. It's good not to wear it."

"..." Xiao Zhenyun had no choice but to continue discussing with his mother in the stinky Nuan Pavilion about how to bring the eldest concubine of Nanjun Palace to their Lu family.

"Zhenyun, what can you do?" Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Zhenyun expectantly and asked.

Xiao Zhenyun frowned, "The Lu family has distributed invitations widely, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

"Then it's so cheap, old lady Lu?"

Xiao Zhenyun frowned even tighter, "Son, I want to meet Chu Ci first, and then make a decision."

The implication is that if it's a treasure, it's a good thing to pick it up, but if it's a woman who doesn't obey women's morals, forget it.

If the Lu family is willing to pick up trash, let them do it.

As for the capital side, it is just to make other compensations.

Thinking in this way, he broke up his thoughts and told Mrs. Xiao.

After listening to Mrs. Xiao, she hesitated for a long time before she said anxiously, "In this way...will I be sorry for Miss Jianmei?"

Xiao Zhenyun sneered, "Then you would like your son to marry an unruly woman and raise a son for another man?"

Mrs. Xiao hesitated again when she heard what her son said. After a while, she sighed and said, "Then...then listen to you!"
