The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 85 A word that awakens the dreamer (4)
"My father comes from the Chu family in Hexi. This family has been in business for generations, but it is unknown. Because the Chu family's business is a mining industry that is difficult for ordinary businessmen to get involved in."

Chu Zhengyang spoke eloquently, but Chu Qing was so shocked that he raised his eyes to look at his father.

You must know that in Southern Chu, almost all mineral resources belong to the state, and getting involved in the mining industry, under such a background of the times, is not something that ordinary people can do. Does the Chu family really have that much power?If so, why did Chu Zhengyang go to Anning City to sell his daily necessities?

"The Chu family's mines have been passed down for ten generations. After ten generations of operation, the Chu family has become a big clan in Hexi. They are the suppliers of the royal family. Almost all the ores produced in the Chu family's mines are directly transported to In the army."

"The Chu family... what mine is it?" Chu Qing suddenly felt his throat a little dry.Her self-consciousness told her that sooner or later she would fight with the head of the Chu family.

Chu Zhengyang looked straight ahead, his eyes were dim under the candlelight: "Iron ore is accompanied by pill points."

Chu Qing suddenly opened her eyes wide, and looked at her father in disbelief.

No wonder, no wonder...

Chu Zhengyang continued: "I was originally the No.11 successor of the Chu family, and I was also a candidate for the next head of the family. However, my father forced me to make a choice, so I had to leave the Chu family and take you with me." Mother came here, and has nothing to do with the Chu family since then."

Chu Qing looked at her father, she never thought that this man who gave her a feeling of thick and calm like the sea would have such an identity.

"Is it for you to choose between your family and your mother?" The answer is not difficult to guess.

Chu Zhengyang nodded without denying it.

However, this made Chu Qing frown puzzledly: "Why?" In her impression, her mother, Mrs. Li, was not only beautiful, but also virtuous. Why couldn't such a woman enter the Chu family?Is it because of family status?However, with her mother's temperament and self-cultivation, she never felt that her mother came from a small family.

Chu Zhengyang clenched his fist, but he didn't know how to explain it to his daughter.

The father's embarrassment fell into Chu Qing's eyes, and the doubts in her heart became even worse.

"Because your mother was born in Huajie and is a low-ranking person." Suddenly, the door of the study was pushed open, and Mrs. Li stood outside the door and said calmly.

"lady!"

"Mother!"

Chu Zhengyang and Chu Qing stood up from their chairs at the same time, and looked at the beautiful young woman outside the door.She was wearing an elegant Confucian dress, elegant in temperament, beautiful in appearance, untainted by mortal dust, and seemed out of tune with the kind of woman she was talking about.

"Mother." Chu Qing walked over, held Li's arm, and led her into the room. After closing the door, he sighed. The three of them were speechless.

Li Shi looked at Chu Zhengyang, and their eyes met. The former's eyes were full of distress, while the latter's eyes were full of pity.

No matter how you look at it, they are two people who are in love with each other.

The tenderness in Li's eyes slowly shifted from Chu Zhengyang to Chu Qing, raised his hand to trace her eyebrows, and murmured: "A Li, do you despise your mother's previous unworthy status?"

Chu Qing shook his head slowly, and said sincerely: "Let's not say that the son doesn't think the mother is ugly, so what if the mother has such a past? Who, there is no past. What Ah Li values ​​is that the three of us are harmonious together. What I am looking forward to is when my father and mother will add two younger siblings to Ah Li."

After finishing speaking, she stuck out her tongue pretending to be mischievous.This delicate appearance successfully broke the stiff atmosphere.

"You child!" Li's cheeks flushed, and she stretched out her fingers coquettishly and tapped on Chu Qing's forehead.

Chu Zhengyang also looked away in embarrassment, and only after a few breaths did he talk to Chu Qing about those past events that the two of them had deliberately forgotten and did not want to remember.

In the carriage, Chu Qing was very silent, recalling what his parents told him.

When Chu Zhengyang told her about the origin of the Chu family, he had no other intentions, but he didn't want her to think about it.What's more, this time I met my drinking buddy Min Zifeng, I'm afraid it won't be long before the news about him in Anning will be reported to the Chu family in Hexi.

A secret, when one more person knows it, it is no longer a secret.

This point has nothing to do with whether Min Zifeng will say that he met Chu Zhengyang.

However, after hearing the story of his parents, Chu Qing didn't have the slightest liking for the Chu family in Hexi.

She didn't expect that after she traveled through time, she would really encounter this kind of beating of mandarin ducks.

In fact, the story of Chu Zhengyang and Li's is very simple.

At that time, the Li family was the top geisha in Jianning, the capital of Southern Chu.Countless high-ranking officials and nobles, romantic and talented scholars gathered together as daughters to meet her.

However, she is not moved by gold and silver, and only associates with people with similar interests.

Her fame is the signboard of that flower room, and these nobles are willing to support her, so Aunt Hua in the shop is left to Li's.

Later, Li Shi and Chu Zhengyang fell in love at first sight, and the two decided to each other for life.The Chu family refused her to enter because of Li's status. Chu Zhengyang resisted with a hunger strike, so his father reluctantly agreed to let Li enter as a child.

However, Chu Zhengyang only had Li Shi in his heart, and he couldn't bear to wrong Li Shi as a minor, so he said that he would only marry Li Shi as his wife in this life and never take a concubine.

The Chu family was so angry that they forced him to high-five in front of the hall, cutting off the love between father and son.

After that, Chu Zhengyang took Li's family away from Hexi, and came to Anning City at the southern end of Southern Chu to settle down.

The story of her parents made Chu Qing sigh, but the Chu family in Hexi weighed on her heart like a mountain.In the study room before, that feeling became more and more intense. Even she herself felt that one day, she would stand on the opposite side of this big clan and start a life-and-death duel.

Really... will it be like this?
"Miss, the bamboo forest is here." Jiujiu lifted the curtain to wake up Chu Qing who was in deep thought.

Tonight, Jiujiu is the only one accompanying her. During the day, Fusu helps with her studies in the store, and at night she receives training in breaking the knife.As for Mingliu, under the guidance of Jiujiu, he is now learning medical and poison techniques, and Chu Qing followed him when he was free, so he learned a little bit.

Chu Qing got off the car and looked around, but there was no sign of Shui Qianliu.

Suddenly, a white shadow floated down and landed in front of her, who else could it be if it wasn't Shui Qianliu?
"Are you late for the first class?" The voice of Shui Qianliu like a clear spring passing over stones sounded slowly. Although the sentence was meant to be reproachful, but carefully discerned, there was a faint pampering in the tone.

"Some things are delayed. Let's start." Knowing that she was late first, Chu Qing didn't try to quibble, but just looked at the sky and urged.

Jiujiu stayed away from the two at the right time, guarding the road so that no one would enter by mistake.

"You have already missed the best time to practice martial arts, so you are destined not to learn any unrivaled martial arts." Shui Qianliu said lightly, carefully paying attention to the clear expression.
