Qiyou Episode (Eighty-Seven)

To go to the fiancée's house, it is natural to tidy up yourself decently.

Seeing him dressed like this, Qiyou grinned from ear to ear: "Okay, he is indeed my grandson, but he is handsome." The eldest grandson went out to see who else dared to call him a dude.

After breakfast, Hong Po said to Qi You: "Grandfather, I want to go to the jewelry shop and pick out a piece of jewelry for Mu Qing!"

"Go, go!" Qiyou also planned to give this shop to Hong Po. As for the other two grandchildren, they will be given other properties.

The youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old man. Furthermore, Hong Po has the same temperament and hobbies as him. So among the three grandchildren, Qiyou loves Hong Po the most.

Hong Po excitedly went to the jewelry store and asked the shopkeeper to take out the best jewelry. Finally, I chose a pair of gold silk inlaid ruby ​​double Luan Dian Cui Bu Yao.

After choosing the jewelry, Hong Po went to Chen's house. When he arrived at the gate of Chen's house, he adjusted his clothes before sending his followers to pass on the message.

Cui met Hong Po in person.

From last night to this morning when he went out, Han Jingjing told him that he must be more calm when he arrives at the Chen's house, and not to be idle. Otherwise, he would be rejected by his fiancée's family. As for the engagement that day, Han Jingjing did not tell Hong Po, because it was unnecessary. Anyway, after Hong Po, it is impossible to have too much contact with Cui Shi. And the Chen family will only come through their daughter-in-law when they ask for something in the future. There are in-laws and mothers guarding the gate, and Chen Muqing is also a smart person, Han Jingjing believes that she has a sense of how to act.

Hong Po gave a junior salute to Cui Shifu: "I have met the old lady." The day before yesterday was too sudden, so he blurted out and called Chen Zhonghe and his father-in-law. This is not married, it is not appropriate to call it that way.

Today, Hong Po is wearing a black brocade robe inlaid with silver thread and cloud pattern, with a sword around his waist and a sword tassel tied to the hilt.

People rely on clothes, Buddha depends on gold clothes. Wearing such a suit of clothes, Hong Po looked much calmer. This dress was cut and made by the embroiderer of the palace in two days.

Cui's brows were frowned, it's really impolite to wear a sword when you come to the house as a guest. So these children of honorable families have no rules at all.

Hong Po was very keen, and immediately noticed Cui Shi's dislike. He asked himself that he had behaved very well, but the old lady still seemed critical and dissatisfied, which was really inexplicable.

Although I don't know why Cui Shi looks like this, it is impossible for Hong Po to think of a way to change his mind. The only ones who can bother him are the elders in the family.

As a prince and grandson,

That is very arrogant, and Hong Po is no exception. It means that Cui Shi is his fiancée's grandmother, otherwise he would have walked away long ago. From childhood to adulthood, those who dare to show him face will never appear in front of him again.

Seeing Hong Po's cold face, Cui's heart froze, then restrained her emotions and asked Hong Po to sit down.

Thinking that this was her first visit, Hong Po endured her unhappiness and sat down.

Cui Shi directed to the servant girl: "Go and invite Da Furen over here."

Then turned to look at Hong Po, Cui smiled and said: "I heard that the grandson came back the day before yesterday?"

Hong Po hummed and said, "I arrived the afternoon of the day before yesterday." No matter how much it is, I don't want to say it.

Cui asked: "By the way, do you want to go back to Tongcheng again when you return to Beijing this time?" Civil servants generally look down on generals. The Cui family is also a scholarly family, and she also dislikes generals very much. It was also because Chen Zhonghe said that Hong Po was close to the grandson, otherwise she would not have entertained her personally. Even so, the prejudice in my heart would not dissipate, and it was brought out.

Hong Po shook his head and said, "It depends on what my great-grandfather and grandfather want." In fact, he decided to stay and go to Qianwei Camp. A year ago, I didn't dare to say that I could pass the exam, but now I am 80 to 90% sure. It's just these words, there is no need to tell Cui Shi.

This ambiguous answer displeased Cui very much.

When Mrs. Chen arrived, the atmosphere in the room was already not very good.

Seeing Hong Po stand up and salute him, Mrs. Chen said with a smile, "Sit down quickly."

Hong Po saluted and sat down.

Mrs. Chen's attitude was very kind, and she asked him a lot about Tongcheng. After hearing some things Hong Po said, Mrs. Chen said distressedly: "It's really hard for you." The noble son who eats delicious food and drinks spicy food at home has never suffered at all, but ordinary people can't bear it to go to the bitter cold place of Tongcheng.

Hong Po smiled and said: "My great-grandmother said that one should suffer more when one is young, so that one can not only know the difficulties of the elders, but also know how to cherish blessings in the future." Hong Po could feel that Mrs. Chen liked him very much. He felt that Mrs. Chen's Performance is normal. Whose son-in-law didn't treat him warmly when he came to the house for the first time, like when his brother-in-law came, his grandmother and mother responded warmly. This old lady is too weird.

After talking for a long time, Hong Po stood up and said: "Old lady, auntie, I have something to do at home, I'll go back first."

Originally, Hongpo made Mrs. Cui dissatisfied only by talking with Mrs. Chen, but after hearing this address, her complexion became even more ugly.

Mrs. Chen kept Hongpo at Chen's house for lunch, but she didn't insist if she couldn't keep it.

Seeing a bunch of presents, Mrs. Chen said: "Forget it this time, and don't spend so much money next time."

Mrs. Chen personally sent Hong Po out, but Hong Po stopped her when she was out of the courtyard.

After leaving Chen's residence, Hong Po's face darkened. It made the followers feel uneasy.

Mrs. Cui is also in a bad mood now, and seeing Mrs. Chen is becoming more and more distasteful: "You take all these things away!"

Mrs. Chen stood up and nodded, "Yes, mother."

Back in the yard, Mrs. Chen heard that Chen Muqing was waiting for her in the house.

Hearing that Hong Po had gone back, Chen Muqing was very surprised.

Mrs. Chen didn't hide it from Chen Muqing, and said: "Prince You's mansion posted a post in advance, but there is no man left to accompany him at home, Prince You left unhappy."

Chen Muqing showed concern: "Mom, is he a little bit tempered?" Of course it was wrong for grandma to neglect him, but it's not a good temper to leave without eating.

Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "It's normal for a child of the Tian family to have a temper, so there's no need to worry. The reason why he left is not only because no one is with him, but also because your grandmother may have said something bad. I went over just now, He has a lot of respect for me."

Hearing this, Chen Muqing felt relieved.

Han Jingjing was just taking care of the general affairs in the mansion, and she was very surprised to see Hong Po enter the house: "Why didn't you eat in Chen's mansion?"

Hong Po sat down and asked: "Mother, does the old lady of the Chen family disapprove of my marriage with Mu Qing?" If not, it wouldn't be such an attitude.

Han Jingjing looked at him and asked, "She won't show face to you, will she?"

"When you see me, your brows are so frowned that you can kill a fly." It would be fine if he was so ugly, but he is obviously handsome. So Mrs. Chen's attitude made him very tired.

I have to say that Hong Po is quite confident.

Han Jingjing smiled and said, "Madam Chen is so confused, anyway, you won't see her often in the future, just bear with it and let it go."

Hong Po hummed and said: "Mother, since she doesn't agree to this marriage, why can Mu Qing and I get engaged?" He was so satisfied with Chen Muqing that he couldn't be more satisfied. Unfortunately, this time, he couldn't see anyone.

"At the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen will decide on Mu Qing's marriage. She is a grandmother, so it's useless to object." It's not that Mrs. Chen made her own proposals, but she also saved her face. After all, it's not a glorious thing to do.

Chen Zhonghe was an official, even if he didn't like the marriage at first. But now it's a foregone conclusion, and it won't be revealed.

Hong Po understood: "I said that my mother-in-law is so enthusiastic, but she doesn't want to see me that much! So that's the case."

After finishing speaking, Hong Po said cheerfully, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law have discernment."

Han Jingjing has long been used to Hong Po's thick skin, and she didn't even bother to look at him again: "I still have to arrange your marriage, you go back to your own room, don't be an eyesore here."

Hong Po had a hurt look on her face: "I've been talking about it every day since I didn't come back, but I hated me again within two days after I came back."

Han Jingjing laughed and scolded: "Don't be poor, I'm settling accounts, don't interrupt me again. Otherwise, I will have to settle accounts again."

Hong Po heard the words and stopped making trouble with Han Jingjing: "Mother, great-grandfather likes to hear me talk about the military camp. It's okay anyway, I'm going to the palace to accompany great-grandfather."

Han Jingjing is also happy that the children have this kind of filial piety: "You don't have anything to do during this period, so you can go to the palace to accompany them more." The two ancestors are getting older, and they are juniors who are more filial.

When Hong Po entered the palace, he ran into Chen Zhonghe at the gate of the palace by accident: "My lord father-in-law."

Seeing Hong Po, Chen Zhonghe was also very surprised, and asked, "Why didn't you stay at home for lunch?"

Because of Han Jingjing's words, Hongpo still respects Chen Zhonghe, but he will not save face for Cui Shi: "The old lady is unwell, so I don't want to bother you."

As soon as Chen Zhonghe heard it, he knew that his mother was making trouble again: "Your grandma...is not very good-tempered when she is old. Please forgive me."

Hong Po said that he didn't mind, and said with concern: "Father-in-law, you should go back and see the old lady!" Whoever gets old and has a temper is completely relying on the old to sell the old. I didn't see anyone who made a face to the grandson-in-law who came to the door for the first time. His great-grandfather had a bigger temper than anyone else, and sometimes he would scold their children and grandchildren bloody when he got angry; but he was kind and amiable to his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, without saying a single harsh word.

This is actually Yuxi's credit. Yuxi told Yunqing that if his son and grandson did not do well, he could scold him, but his daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law did not allow him to scold him, and she would take care of what was wrong.

Yunqing can live so comfortably in his later years, the filial piety of his children is one aspect, and Yuxi has done well in all aspects on the other hand.

When Chen Zhonghe returned home, he was scolded by Mrs. Cui before he even opened his mouth: "No respect, no one, arrogant and rude..."

If he had never met Hong Po, Chen Zhonghe might have believed this. But he himself met Hong Po twice, and every time he saw him, he was very polite. Naturally, he didn't believe Cui's words.

Hearing that Cui Shi began to tell Shu Shi again that his wife pushed Mu Qing into the fire pit, Chen Zhonghe felt powerless for a while.
