part-time teenage grandma

Chapter 886

Chu Yurou changed the subject and pointed at Chu Xixi.The lords and wives at the dinner table thought it made sense and nodded frequently after hearing this, and even Chu Taiping felt that it was Chu Xixi's fault.

"Xixi, you know there is something wrong with the flute, if you can't play the tune, you should immediately apologize to the elders."

Chu Taiping's words were full of blame and dissatisfaction with Xixi, and Xixi was very chilled seeing her father also talking with Chu Yurou.

Although it was expected, Chu Taiping's favoritism still made her feel very uncomfortable.

"I heard that the three young ladies of the Chu family are famous for their singing. Why don't the three young ladies sing a couple of songs for everyone to ease the atmosphere, and it can be regarded as a companion for the elders."

Suddenly, a calm but steady voice interrupted the awkward atmosphere, it was Mo Shuang.Chu Xixi looked at Mo Shuang, realizing that he had rescued herself again, and didn't know how to thank him.

"Okay, then I'll present a song for everyone..." After finishing speaking, Chu Xixi began to sing.

In fact, Chu Xixi is not very good at singing, so she just sang shallowly, her eyes met Mo Shuang's unexpectedly, a little shy.

"You can pick lotus in the south of the Yangtze River, lotus leaves and He Tiantian, and there will be double Lixiang playing in the blue waves, fish playing in the east of the lotus leaf, and fish playing in the south of the lotus leaf. Whose girl is deep in the lotus leaf, laughing and throwing the lotus across the water..."

Chu Xixi sang a lotus-picking song, and the singing was so melodious that everyone who listened could not help being drunk in it.

However, Chu Yurou and Chu Manlian were completely out of emotion, and Chu Yurou was still gritting her teeth angrily about Mo Shuang's rescue of Chu Xixi just now;

Seeing that Chu Xixi had another chance to show herself, Chu Manlian was also unhappy.

"Fish plays with lotus leaves to the east, fish plays with lotus leaves to the south."

When the song was over, Chu Xixi bent down and bowed her head, "I'm really sorry earlier, and I hope all the elders will feel better after listening to this lotus-picking song."

Seeing such a polite Chu Xixi, plus the fact that the little songs she sang is so intoxicating, it's hard to be unhappy.

"Singing is really good!" I don't know which young master praised it, and clapped his hands in applause.

The other people applauded as soon as they saw someone reconciling with their opinions.

Seeing that she had made up for her previous mistakes and won the favor of all the lords and wives, Chu Xixi immediately felt relieved.

She looked at Mo Shuang and nodded to him to express her gratitude.Mo Shuang didn't speak, just smiled at her, and then started drinking on his own.

Unfortunately, Chu Yurou saw this scene.

Chu Xixi was not only helped by Mo Shuang, but also won the favor of the elders. The more Chu Yurou thought about it, the more unhappy she became.

"Sister Xixi, you are good at singing, but wouldn't it be inappropriate to sing "The Song of Picking Lotuses"?"

Chu Yurou paused, and continued, "Your second sister has the word 'lotus' in her name, do you want someone to 'pick' your second sister away?"

Chu Yurou said it with a sense of ridicule, but the real meaning is not here.

When Chu Manlian heard her eldest sister Yurou say this, she also felt that Chu Xixi was uneasy and kind in singing this song, so she also said:

"Sister Xixi, what do you mean? Even if there is something wrong with the flute I gave you just now, then you can't do this. You are in such a hurry to let others 'pick' me away?"

Chu Xixi was very helpless. She knew that Chu Yurou and Chu Manlian were deliberately picking on the egg, just to make her look ugly. Chu Xixi was used to their provocation and frame from time to time, so now she had no other major feelings except to deal with it calmly. up.

"Mo feels that the Eldest Miss and the Second Miss are really thinking too much. I don't think the Third Miss has any other ideas in choosing this song. Now that the lotus is in full bloom, Miss Xixi may sing it when she thinks about it."

At this moment, Mo Shuang stood up again, "It's not as complicated as the two ladies said."

Seeing Mo Shuang helping her frequently, Chu Xixi was very grateful, "The two sisters don't need to think too much, the younger sister just sang when she thought about it, and she didn't have the slightest bad idea. Just thinking of the lush lotus blooming, she wanted to sing a song about it." I just sang the first song. Why come to 'choose' the second sister once said."

Although Chu Xixi spoke weakly, she was firm.

Seeing Mo Shuang helping Chu Xixi again, Chu Yurou couldn't be more angry.

But she didn't dare to say too much, after all, her purpose of going out to the dinner party was to leave a good impression on Mo Shuang, so she couldn't show too much.But if she didn't say it, she couldn't swallow that breath.

"How can others know what you think in your heart. I think Miss Yurou just said it casually, just as a joke. It seems that you care so much, but it doesn't matter."

Sitting across the table at this moment, Chai Tianhan, who had been watching them for a long time, walked up to Chu Yurou and spoke.

When Chu Xixi heard this voice, her heart skipped a beat.Chai Tianhan never let go of any chance to flatter, and it is the same now, it seems that her pursuit in the last life is so ridiculous.

"Mr. Chai was joking. Everyone is just taking advantage of the lively atmosphere to tease each other. Don't take it too seriously."

Mo Shuang answered from the side.Mo Shuang was already at odds with Chai Tianhan, so Mo Shuang's reply was tantamount to provocation to Chai Tianhan.

Chai Tianhan's expression changed, and he really wanted to say something to refute, but suddenly he coughed, Chai Tianhan hurriedly turned his head, and it was the master of the Chai family who waved at him, "Come back, the food is getting cold..."

Only then did Chai Tianhan resentfully give up and didn't say anything more, he just took a look at Mo Shuang before sitting in his seat.

A banquet is said to be harmonious, but the atmosphere is a bit strange after all.After finally leaving, Chu Xixi saw that Mo Shuang was about to leave, and hurriedly called out, "Mr. Mo, please stay."

Mo Shuang paused, turned around and saw that it was Chu Xixi, a little surprised, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just want to thank Mr. Mo, you have helped me many times..." Chu Xixi's smile was sincere, so it was extraordinarily beautiful.

"It should be." Mo Shuang replied, and then gradually disappeared into the night.

Seeing him walking away, Chu Xixi turned around and got into her carriage.This night is finally over.Chu Xixi sighed and leaned in the carriage, feeling drowsy.

For a period of time after the Qiqiao Festival, Chu Yurou did not move any more, probably because she was tired, or was resting and recuperating.Chu Xi spent a few days of leisure time with his mother, Wen Shi, in his leisure time.

In the early morning, the sky hadn't fully lit up yet, and there were people in twos and threes on the street. If it wasn't for special events, most of them were still asleep.

"Son! What's the matter with you!" A shrill cry woke up the people in the Chu Mansion, and the servants hurried to the room of Fifth Aunt Xiao's room where the sound came from. When the door was opened, everyone was stunned there.

I saw Xiao Shi slumped on the bed with disheveled hair, holding her young son in her arms, her eyes were full of eagerness and confusion.The servants hurried over to take the baby from her hand, and several others rushed to call Chu Taiping.

After the servants comforted Fifth Yiniang, they had time to see the baby. After seeing the baby, they were immediately frightened and did not dare to move.Wu Yiniang's youngest son Chu Bohan didn't know what was wrong, his face was full of large and small blisters, which looked like smallpox.
