The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 236 The Prince Is Here (4)
"It's really good and don't learn, and bad ones learn. From now on, I will call me grandma, what kind of ancestor, I am not worthy of my old age." Zhang said as if to blame.

Chu Qing smiled, lowered her eyes and responded: "Yes, grandma."

Coming out of the Buddhist hall, it was almost noon.Chu Qing supported Li Shi, followed by Jiujiu, Youhe, and Nanny, and walked towards the courtyard of the main house.

After Chu Qing took the box of jewelry, Mrs. Zhang chatted with her for a while.To Mrs. Li, she just said a few words like 'how are you' and 'have a good rest'.

"Mother, what do you think the old ancestor means? She didn't bring up the matter of giving back today." Chu Qing said flatly.

The middle supporter of the Chu family compound is still in the hands of Zhang Shi, while Chu Zhenghe's wife, Liu Shi, is only assisting from the side.The keys and ledgers of the treasury are all in Zhang's hands.

It used to be like this because there was no mistress in the main house.

Now that Chu Zhengyang is back, and Li's wife is his first wife, it is natural that the gift should be handed over to Li's hands.It can be said that Chu Qing was most interested in this matter when he came to greet Mrs. Zhang today.As a result, Mrs. Zhang didn't say a word about this matter.

Li said indifferently: "It must be because we just arrived and are not familiar with the courtyard. In addition, I am pregnant again now, and I don't have time to take care of these things, so the ancestors didn't say anything."

From the look on the mother's face, it was clear.Li Shi never thought of spending her whole life in the Chu family compound.Perhaps, what she was thinking in her heart was that she would return to Anning after living here for a while. Although the Chu residence there was not as good as here, it was her true home.

but……

Chu Qing reminded: "Mother, I know what you want. But now we are here, if you can't control the Zhongshou in the mansion, then all the demons and monsters below will jump out and stir up the wind and rain. Moreover, it is right to give Zhongshou to you. An acknowledgment of your status as the first wife."

How could I not know these things?Li sighed in his heart, but smiled gently on his face: "This is not urgent. After all, we have just arrived at the Chu family compound. After staying for a few days, we are discussing with your father."

Seeing her mother like this, Chu Qing nodded slightly, and didn't say any more.

In the Buddhist hall, Chu Qing's mother and daughter were sent away, and Zhang shunned the maids, leaving only his confidantes Nanny Gui and Nanny Su to wait on them.

Mrs. Zhang closed her eyes and meditated, Nanny Gui and Nanny Su looked at each other, and they were silent.

Only they knew in their hearts that the box of valuable jewelry was indeed prepared by the old lady many years ago.However, it is not for the main house's first wife, but as a dowry for the future ladies when they get married.Now, with all of this thought given to Chu Qing, it is really hard to fathom what the old lady is thinking.

"You think I value Qingqing too much?" Mrs. Zhang closed her eyes, twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand, and suddenly said a word, which made the two nuns stunned for a moment.

The two of them didn't speak, but the master and servant had already had an indescribable tacit understanding for decades.

There was no extra emotion on Zhang's face, but she just said lightly: "A woman who is a merchant can be rewarded by the court and favored by the eldest princess, so that the dude prince agrees to marry her. Isn't it worth seeing such a girl? I value?"

"The madam wants to put all the chips on Miss Qing's side?" Nanny Gui said after deliberating for a moment.

Mrs. Zhang slowly opened her eyes and sighed: "Those little ones are cooperating with the third prince without telling me, thinking that I don't know? Although it is to solve the current predicament of the family, the matter of accusing the royal family has already put the Chu family in trouble." It's a dangerous situation. If it succeeds, let it go, if it fails..." Zhang's eyelids twitched, and she closed her eyes: "There are no eggs under the nest."

"The madam now wants to take advantage of King Xiaoyao's favor in front of the emperor to Miss Qing, and to keep the Chu family at a critical moment?" Madam Su seemed to have guessed something about Mrs. Zhang's thoughts.

The corners of Zhang's lips trembled, and he said flatly: "I just want to try my best to find a peace talisman for the Chu family."

Nanny Gui and Nanny Su looked at Mrs. Zhang, with a hint of distress in their eyes.I feel sorry for my master who has worked so hard for the Chu family all his life, and has worked hard for the Chu family, and he still can't settle down in his later years.

A few days passed in such a peaceful way.After coming out of the Buddhist hall that day, Chu Lian seemed to have also been taught a lesson, and she restrained herself a lot, and she didn't come to trouble Chu Qing again in the past few days.

Chu Xuan and Chu Qing never saw each other again.

Yang Shi was also released from the ancestral hall and returned to the seventh room.It is said that when the mother and daughter met, they hugged each other and cried a lot.Then I packed my bags and went back to my mother's house.

The seventh uncle, Chu Zhengxiong, finished copying scriptures from the Buddhist hall, came out and returned home, and found that his wife and daughter were gone, and hurried to Yue's house, and brought the mother and daughter back.

At this point, their family seemed to come to a sudden stop.

Of course, Chu Qing did not deliberately inquire about these.It was all said by sisters Chu Rou and Chu Xin during their chat when they came to visit her in her yard.

At this time, Chu Qing clicked his tongue.Feeling in my heart, it turns out that in such a deep house and compound, gossip is constant.

It seems that every family has no secrets at all.

It's funny to say, there are four young ladies in the Chu family.One is gloomy, and the other is mean.The other two belong to the third room, but they are very docile, and they don't like to walk around with Chu Xuan and Chu Lian on weekdays.

On the contrary, after Chu Qing came, they liked to stay with Chu Qing more.They cut paper and embroidered, and Chu Qing sat beside her, reading a book and listening to their chatter.

In the Jiuming firm, Mingliu, who is in charge of intelligence, gets along very well with them, and with her clever mouth, after asking around in the Chu family compound, within a few days, she has already covered all of them. The big and small things in each room of Chu's house were clarified.

When she put the sorted information into a list and told it to Chu Qing, even Chu Qing had to admire her ability.

And these things about the inner courtyard of the seven aunts and eight aunts can also be heard clearly and have a splitting headache.

Suddenly, I felt that those intricate account books in the company were much easier than handling these housework.

"Sister Qing, you don't even know. Before you came, Chu Lian was so arrogant. She snatched things from us all day long. As long as she likes them, she can take them away. The elders of the family don't care, they just know Let us be patient and patient." Chu Xin is only less than 14 years old this year, and she is still a half-grown child. When she talks, she keeps her mouth shut, which is really cute.

Of Chu Zhenghe's two daughters, the eldest, Chu Rou, was born to his concubine, Pang, and the youngest, Chu Xin, was born to his wife, Liu.According to the news that Mingliu came back from inquiring, it was said that Mrs. Liu entered the house back then and never came out.

The ancestor was worried about the issue of incense, so he gave Chu Zhenghe a concubine.Unexpectedly, this little concubine was pregnant with Chu Rou for half a year, and good news came from Mrs. Liu.
