Guangling City is the main capital of Yangzhou, and there are four districts under it, Hanyan, Guangling, Jiangyuan and Baoying.
The Qi family is east of Guangling, and the Chu family is south of Hanyan, the two places are not too far apart, and the carriage will go to the official road in front of the Chu family at night.
"Qi Su, I can see the roof of my house!"
Chu Rao looked back and forth behind the window screen, and when she thought that she would be home soon, she couldn't sit still happily.
"You see, there was originally a moon pool, there is a concentric stone in the pool, my brother doesn't know where to hear it, engrave the name of the favorite woman on the concentric stone, and you can get married for a hundred years.
At that time, at night, my brother took advantage of my mother's inattention, secretly came out to engrave, and then I had a hard quarrel to follow, guess what I saw?
He's carved the names of more than a dozen girls, hahaha. ” Chu Rao didn't realize that when she was approaching the door of the house, she had always had some restrained emotions, and for the first time, she showed it as it was, and she seemed to be a different person.
Chu Rao's face was red with a smile, her appearance was delicate and beautiful, but she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and her eyes had not faded into innocence.
On weekdays, I stay in the backyard and don't really see it, but now when I speak, there seem to be countless points of light in my eyes, and the whole person is plated with a layer of bright light with vigorous colors.
When the woman smiling brightly by the window looked back, Qi Su was stunned for a moment.
"Actually, this waterhole is also very beautiful at night, but unfortunately it was removed by the government two years ago, and the pool was also filled, if you came earlier, I can still take you to see."
Suddenly, Qi Su hid his expression, "Well, I know." ” Do you know what it means, has he been here?
Chu Rao felt strange, and just wanted to ask, the carriage gradually stopped, and the gate of the Chu family appeared in sight.
The Chu house is not as good as the Qi family's four courtyards, and the repairs in the past few years have only repaired a few more side rooms on the original courtyard, but it is because Chu Rao is too old to live in the same courtyard with his two elder brothers, so he repaired it.
Although the Chu family also has enough family background, Zu Xun is thrifty in every word, except for the eldest young master who is not a weapon, he is low-key and does some porcelain tile business, and his wealth is not exposed, so he can be regarded as a rich family in Guangling City, but he is not mentioned much.
At this time, the middle-aged woman standing at the door of the house had been looking forward to it for a long time.
She is dressed in a simple indigo blue cross-collar with wide sleeves on the right side, a turquoise beaded hairpin obliquely inserted into the temples, a gentle appearance, and although there are some lines at the end of the eyes, it still does not reduce the charm.
And behind her, there was a middle-aged man with a clear face, who was Chu Rao's father, Chu Lingshan.
Chu Lingshan is not much more restrained than the Ruan family, and although he is happy when he sees the carriages of his son-in-law's daughter returning to the door, his face is still the same solemn.
When the carriage stopped steadily, Ruan's neck was raised to look at the curtain that had been lifted, and the young woman inside was wearing a hundred butterfly embroidered phoenix tail Luo skirt, helping the maid all the way down, wasn't it her daughter Chu Rao.
Ruan's eyes were wet, and his hands were on his sides, not knowing what to do, this was really waiting for his daughter to get married, and he didn't know how much he was worried about.
"Mother, my daughter misses you so much!"
Chu Rao suddenly plunged into Ruan's arms like a rabbit, and her red eyes rubbed against her chest like a child, it was only a month, she thought she was hypocritical, but she couldn't help it when she really saw it.
"Look at you, what do you look like, you're married, and my uncle is still watching."
Ruan Shi smiled with red eyes and looked at Qi Su, who was then dismounted from the carriage by Sijiu.
After all, she is old, and she is afraid that Qi Su will not be happy when she sees Chu Rao's sticky appearance, but when she glanced at Qi Su, she saw that he was surprisingly handsome, and he was polite and polite, his pupils were clear, and he stood quietly not far behind Chu Rao, and only bowed his head to her, neither urging nor showing any impatience, Ruan's heart suddenly looked up to this new aunt a few points.
The old man is right, this daughter who married into the Qi family is really not wronged by herself!
"Uh-huh."
The place where Chu Lingshan was standing was a little dark, obviously he was not seen by his daughter for the first time, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Chu Rao raised her head when she heard the voice , let go of the Ruan family and threw himself into Chu Lingshan's arms with one step, "Dad!
” "I'm married, and I'm still so unruly."
In the shadows, Chu Lingshan said with his hands behind his back and his back, but having said that, he was still extremely useful and let Chu Rao hug him for a while, with a trace of smug arc on his face.
After Ruan Shi and Chu Rao's minds calmed down, Qi Su stepped forward to salute, and then was pulled by Chu Lingshan to his side and walked towards the hall together.
"Qi Su, Rao'er has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child, and she still has to take care of some tempers."
Chu Lingshan is open and honest.
Qi Su remembered Chu Rao's so-called 'temper' on weekdays, and the inconspicuous arc of her lips swept up, "She's fine." ” Chu Lingshan knew that Qi Su was silent, so he didn't continue to ask, obviously before getting married, Chu Rao still looked like he was sworn to death, so he didn't believe that his daughter didn't come up with some tricks when she arrived at Qi's house.
"I heard that there is a life incident in the rice shop in the north of the city, and now it can be solved?"
"Hmm." ...
"Mother, what are they talking about?"
Chu Rao took Ruan's arm and stared at the two shadowy figures in front of her and spoke.
"Your father is saying good things for you, I'm afraid you'll give it back."
Ruan Shi pinched the back of Chu Rao's tender hand, "You, did you have any crooked thoughts in the Qi family?"
” "My daughter is very safe."
Chu Rao muttered back.
"Don't think I don't know, a few days ago, the Qi family was expelled from a maid, right, and you didn't mean it?"

Chu Rao was surprised, "Mother, who told you?"
” Ruan Shi didn't answer, but patted Chu Rao's hand, and lowered her voice by half, "Rao'er, a woman doesn't like her husband to take a concubine, her mother naturally understands, but you can't be so grumpy and drive people away, if you do too much, Qi Su should be disgusted with you, women take their husbands as the key link, you must remember not to mess up the rules anymore." ” "When did I let people drive Midoriya away, it was she who stole things herself!
It has nothing to do with me!
"Besides, Green Aya still wants to climb Qi Su's bed!
"Really?"
Nguyen didn't believe it.
"Of course it's true!"
Chu Rao nodded hurriedly. ...
The four of them chatted with each other, and after a short while, they walked to the hall.
On the table of red sour branches and logs, the meals have been prepared with seven-seven-eighty-eight, thirteen vegetarian dishes, seven large meats, and two thin wines, all of which are famous dishes in Guangling.
Chu Lingshan, the lord of the Chu family, only married one lady of the Ruan family, and he didn't take one more concubine, so it was more than enough for four people to sit down at a round table.
Qi Su's silence was known to Chu Lingshan, so he didn't force Qi Su to greet him, and after eating a meal, everyone didn't talk much, and he still had a sense of warmth.
"Dad, you eat this."
Chu Rao sandwiched a chopstick of red meat to Chu Lingshan, and took another bite to Mrs.
Chu beside her, "Mother, you can eat it too." ” After Chu Rao was reborn, she had to cherish this hard-won opportunity to reunite with her father and mother more than in her previous life, she used to follow the rules of a lady in front of people, and she didn't dare to do many things if she wanted to, but now it's different, she just wants her father and mother to know how important they are to her.
"There are no rules, the more I grow up, the longer I go back!"
Chu Lingshan said 'cruel words', but he didn't hesitate to take a bite of the sauce meat.
Ruan Shi smiled, and his eyes gestured to Qi Su, "Rao'er, have you forgotten something?"
” Chu Rao turned her head sideways, Qi Su?
Didn't he have a clean disease, he didn't necessarily eat the dishes he saw, but because his father and mother were there, she could only pick a plate of vegetarian brocade vegetables and put a chopstick in Qi Su's bowl in a similar way.
"Do you like this, it's vegetarian."
Chu Rao spoke a little awkwardly.
Chu Rao blocked it with chopsticks, and quickly whispered, "Qi Su, if you don't like to eat, stay there." ” Qi Su was stunned for a moment, and then responded, "Hmm." ” I don't know, is this the first half of the sentence, or the second half of the sentence.
In the first half of the meal, the two of them ate their own food, and with this episode, Chu Rao's eyes glanced at Qi Su's bowl from time to time, The little chopsticks she put in were lying there quietly, how to look at it.
I dislike her so much, she obviously deliberately soaked it in the teacup before picking up the vegetables.
At the end of the meal, Qi Su's bowl still had the chopsticks and vegetarian dishes that Chu Rao clipped, and Chu Rao was instantly deflated when she saw it, not so sad, but a little indescribable loss.
After all, Ruan Shi was a person from the past, and he saw Chu Rao's emotions under his nose and smiled silently.
Chu Lingshan didn't have Ruan's heart, and he didn't notice anything unusual at the banquet, he took a sip of tea after dinner, and spoke leisurely as usual, "The water in the clean room is ready."
Chu Lingshan looked at Qi Su and Chu Rao, and put down the teacup, "Do you live in the boudoir when Rao'er was not married, or do you want to live in a side courtyard." ” "Dad, I live in my own room, and Qi Su lives in my brother's side courtyard."
Chu Rao propped her chin and replied without thinking.
"Why, you two don't live together?"
Mrs.
Chu, Ruan, was a little surprised when she heard this.
"Uh..."
Chu Rao's mouth was half open, and she realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, if she let her father and mother know that the two of them had always lived separately, they would definitely have to talk for a long time.
Chu Rao didn't know how to respond, and subconsciously looked at Qi Su, only to see him put down the porcelain bowl in his hand unhurriedly, and when he raised his head, his eyes were flat, "I usually have a cough and can't sleep easily, Chu Rao is afraid of disturbing me, so I will divide the room." ” "Oh, that's right," Ruan's brows furrowed slightly, "Rao'er also knows that it hurts, but the couple can't always be like this." ” She looked at Chu Lingshan, Chu Lingshan seemed to have thought of something, and turned to Qi Su: "Qi Su, come out this time, but what is the discomfort?"
Qi Su shook his head, "These days are summer, the weather is sunny and warm, and the cough is much better, so my father-in-law doesn't have to worry." ” "Oh, in that case, when you come back to the door in the next few days, you will just stay with Rao'er in her room."
Yes?
"Dad, my bed is small!"
Chu Rao looked at Chu Lingshan with a blank eye.
"Then you will sleep together in the side yard."
Chu Rao's words choked in her throat, and she was blocked by Chu Lingshan's eyes, so she could only turn her head to look at Qi Su, not in a hurry, Qi Su would definitely not agree.
Behold "Okay."
