The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 167 Hanging Beam? (3)
"Go first if you have something to do!" Chu Xunyang said.

Lord Yanling looked at the gradually darkening sky, but he was a little worried: "I'll leave Yingzi here for you!"

"No need." Chu Xunyang said quickly, then added after a pause, "My second brother will come over later, and I have to explain to him that I have Qingluo here, and nothing will happen."

"Okay then!" Lord Yanling thought for a while, and didn't say anything else, turned around and took two steps towards the door, but suddenly remembered something, and called Yingzi: "Yingzi!"

Yingzi was taken aback for a moment, and after a moment of reaction, she realized that she quickly took out a green purse from her arms and handed it to Chu Xunyang with both hands: "This is something lost by the four princesses last time, and the filth in it has been cleaned up by the servant It's clean."

"If you don't mention it, I will forget about it again today," Chu Xunyang raised his eyebrows at Yanling Lord and smiled, "And what happened that day, I should thank you formally anyway."

Lord Yanling didn't like her being polite to him, but at this moment, he casually glanced at the purse she was holding in his hand, but suddenly became a little bit more thoughtful, smiled and said: "It's a great kindness, no thanks, You might as well think about it, what should you thank me for!"

Seeing that it was getting late, he couldn't stay longer, so he took the two maidservants and left first.

Chu Xunyang didn't take his words seriously, but put the purse into his sleeve.

Chu Qifeng hurried back from outside the city at nightfall. When Chu Xunyang saw his carriage entering the city from a distance, he went out early and waited at the gate, and drove back home with him.

Chu Yi'an had a social event that day, and Chu Xunyang and Chu Qifeng had dinner together in Jinhuatang.

Because it was night, brothers and sisters had to avoid taboos, so Chu Qifeng went back after sitting for a while, and came over early the next morning when Chu Xunyang woke up. The two brothers and sisters practiced sword moves for half an hour before taking a bath We changed clothes and had breakfast together.

While sitting and drinking tea after dinner, Chu Qifeng accidentally saw a flower frame that Chu Xunyang had left on the beauty's couch, and smiled unconsciously, "I'm just talking about how I felt that you were a bit unfamiliar when I practiced swords with you today. , this is so good that it changed my temper!"

"Where is it? Brother, your swordsmanship has become superb again!" Chu Xunyang rolled his eyes, picked up the stretcher and threw it down.

Her swordsmanship is indeed rusty, that's because she hasn't practiced it for six years, and she can't get used to it now.

The two brothers and sisters chatted for a while, and a maid came in to report that the eldest lady was visiting.

Chu Xunyang was a little surprised: "Madam please come in!"

The maid heard the sound and went.

Chu Qifeng also put down the tea bowl and got up, "Then I'll go first, to deal with some things first, and I'll look for you later."

"Okay!" Chu Xunyang didn't hold him back, and sent him to the door, just in time to meet Rumo who was holding the hand of the eldest lady outside.

"Prince of the county!" Seeing Chu Qifeng, the eldest lady stepped forward to salute with some embarrassment, and said with a smile, "If I had known that the prince of the county was here, I would have come back later."

"It's okay, I also had a chat with Xunyang, and I was going to leave too." Chu Qifeng said, nodded and strode away first.

Chu Xunyang turned around and let the eldest lady into the room, and ordered the girl to watch tea.

The eldest lady is a low-key person. She has been nesting in her elegant courtyard all these years and rarely goes out. It is also the first time that she has visited Chu Xunyang so openly.

"Why did the lady come here suddenly?" Chu Xunyang asked.

"Oh, I should have come here a few days ago, but I just walked around because I thought it would be inappropriate." The lady said, with a grateful expression on her face, "I have never had the opportunity to formally thank the princess for what happened to Ning'er a while ago, please Don't be offended, princess."

"Ma'am, you are welcome. My fourth sister and I are real sisters. At that time, it was just a matter of lifting her hands. I can't bear your kindness." Chu Xunyang said, winking at Qingteng sideways.

Qingteng turned around and went into the room, and after a while, she came out with a purse and handed it to the eldest lady.

"This is something close to the fourth sister. Since the eldest lady is here, let's take it back to her, and it will save me another trip." Chu Xunyang said, smiling slightly.

The Da Furen took the purse, holding it in her hand, she couldn't help being afraid for a while, and then quickly gathered herself together, "Okay, I'll hand it over to her later."

Chu Xunyang smiled, and stopped mentioning this matter, and then changed the subject: "Everyone says that you can go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do. The lady came to look for me today, and it's not just for the sake of thanking you, right?"

"You can't hide anything from the princess!" The eldest lady said sternly, without beating around the bush, "It's about the matter in the mansion. Now His Highness has spared the punishment of the concubine and empress. She has also returned and put it in my hands before." I was thinking that it would be more appropriate to return the matter to the past. Your Highness is busy these days, so I want to ask the princess what he means first."

Concubine Lei's position is there. She was locked up before, but now she is released. If the housekeeper is still in the hands of the eldest lady, it will inevitably attract criticism, and it will not be good for Chu Yi'an's reputation. .

Chu Xunyang didn't think that the eldest lady would be afraid of Concubine Lei, and that she would propose to hand over the authority back, so she should still be concerned about her reputation outside.

Chu Xunyang smiled, took a sip of tea indifferently, and said: "The New Year is coming soon, and it will be troublesome to hand over these matters. I think it is easy for the old lady to take care of these two months. Since my father has no Whatever you say, you don't have to worry."

"But the concubine's side—" the eldest lady still felt that something was wrong.

"Isn't she busy teaching Fifth Sister the rules recently? What is more important than teaching her daughter a little bit more about how to live and live?" Chu Xunyang interrupted her words with a smile, and paused, which was even more meaningful Said, "Fourth younger sister's marriage will be decided after the next year, presumably the eldest lady also wants her to marry decently!"

The eldest lady was taken aback for a moment, but unexpectedly raised her head and looked at Chu Xunyang.

However, Chu Xunyang said with a completely indifferent expression: "We are all father's daughters. The eldest sister's affairs were not decent at the beginning, so it can't be the same. After the next year, I will take care of the fourth younger sister's marriage. If the matter is handed over to someone else, I'm afraid Da Furen may not feel relieved, right? So I think that you might as well work harder for the family, and work harder for the family."

Chu Yuening's marriage has already been decided, and the wedding date has also been preliminarily estimated, which should be in May of the next year.

For the eldest lady, nothing is more important than her own daughter.

Back then, Chu Yueyao made Chu Yi'an unhappy because of her own scandal. Whether it was the dowry or the scale of the wedding, it was just a matter of time. Now it's her daughter's turn. .
