Kicked out?
Hu Ling stared at Zhu Shang in surprise.
She couldn't imagine what it would be like for him, who had always been respected, to be kicked out of the door.
Then, she said anxiously: "What should we do? My grandfather doesn't agree, and my father and mother won't agree either. These things are all decided by my grandfather."
Seeing that Hu Ling's ears were red with anxiety, Zhu Shang hurriedly explained: "A few days ago, I often went to Hu's house to appreciate antiquities with your grandfather, and I also brought some interesting things to him. He already regarded me as a confidant. Now that I suddenly tell him that I want to marry his favorite granddaughter, he will naturally not accept it so quickly and give him some time."
If other people saw Zhu Shang explaining so patiently, they would definitely try to tease him to see if he was really Mr. Beijiang.
"Grandpa has always been true to his word. He never changes his mind about something he has decided."
Hu Ling grew up at her grandfather's knees and knew him very well. At this moment, she was both at a loss and worried, and it was inevitable that she seemed at a loss.
Zhu Shang put his hands on her shoulders, squeezed them gently, and said relaxedly: "Didn't your grandfather often punish you first and then secretly let you out?"
Hu Ling frowned, lowered his head, looked at his toes, and whispered: "That's because it's me. He can't look down on me to death."
There was a trace of confusion and helplessness in Zhu Shang's eyes, but it was quickly covered up.
"You are also you now. Although this matter is different from before, you are still you, and there is me. Believe in me, and also believe in my eloquence. I will convince your grandfather and make him feel at ease. You leave it to me. If my eloquence is second in the world, no one will dare to say that I am the best in the world."
The vowed words brought a smile back to Hu Ling's face. She teased Zhu Shang: "You are the best eloquent in the world, but my grandfather kicked you out?" There was a hint of pride in her tone.
Zhu Shang laughed loudly, and Hu Ling also laughed with him.
After the two of them had laughed enough, Zhu Shangcai said: "I am waiting for you here to give you a mental preparation. You must not make your grandfather angry when you go back."
On the other side, Xu Nuo took a carriage to the Duke's Mansion in July.
The carriage stopped, Qi Qi looked at Xu Nuo, and tilted his head when he saw Xu Nuo didn't move.
Xu Nuo knocked Qi Qi's head and said, "Why are you becoming more and more unenlightened? Where are you?"
Qi Qiyue rubbed her head and said, "The Duke's Mansion."
"In a place like this, should a lady get out of the carriage before a maid?" Xunuo stared at Qiyue with her chin raised, and saw that she suddenly understood, and then without saying a word, she jumped out of the carriage, opened the curtain, and stretched out her hand to say hello.
Movements flow like flowing water.
Xu Nuo nodded, supported Qiyue's men on the carriage, stood still, looked up at the plaque of the Duke's Mansion, trimmed the broken hair behind his ears, and said softly to the coachman: "You go back first."
The groom was smart and stared at Xunuo for a while before driving his horse away.
What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, Mrs. Six? Normally she would jump out before the carriage stopped and run away in the blink of an eye, but today she actually
They didn't have name cards, so they came uninvited.
Qi Qi was worried that the people in the Duke's Mansion would not allow them to enter the mansion because they did not see the invitation, so she whispered to Xu Nuo, "Madam, if we want to argue later, please stand behind me."
It was really rude to come uninvited and to meet the busiest mistress of the Duke's mansion.
Xu Nuo naturally knew that this was unexpected, but if she reported it to her mother and took the invitation, Aunt Twenty-One would have already thought of an excuse to reject her. What's the use of her coming? It's better to be rude than not to return to Chun Tang.
"Is it possible that your mouth is better at talking than mine?"
Xu Nuo endured it before reaching out to scratch Qi Qi's nose. He took her up the steps, took off the bracelet on her wrist and asked the person who answered the door to hand it over to the housekeeper.
After a while, a middle-aged man in rich clothes came out, holding a jade bracelet in both hands, and called Xu Nuo the Sixth Lady.
"Sixth Lady, please put your jade bracelet away. Come with me to the flower hall and wait for a while. I will let someone know right away. Madam will send someone to pick you up."
"Thank you." Xu Nuo took the jade bracelet and put it back on his wrist.
The person who came to meet him was not the maid from the Duke's Mansion, but Chun Tang, whom he had not seen for a long time even in July.
July Monkey rushed forward and hugged Chun Tang, shouting happily.
Xu Nuo stopped, looked at Chuntang, and saw that she had gained weight. He asked jealously: "But I haven't treated you well. I've only been here for less than a month, and you've actually gained weight. It's very difficult here." Are you comfortable? Don’t you want to go back?”
Chuntang shook her head hurriedly, fearing that Xu Nuo might misunderstand her, and said, "Madam, you can't say that to me. I am loyal to you and have no second thoughts. It's just..."
She was so anxious that she almost burst into tears. Before she could finish her words, she felt her whole body being embraced by a pair of strong arms.
The strong jealousy of the promise came to my ears: "Come back with me today, and you won't be allowed to leave for so long again."
Chuntang nodded hurriedly, his voice choked with sobs.
Xu Nuo patted Chuntang's back gently and said, "It's better to be thinner and look better."
"Yes." Chuntang wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, took Xu Nuo's hand and said, "Madam, stop talking about me, Mrs. Qian is waiting for you."
When they went to see Lu Erniang, she was playing chess with a pair of children. When she saw Xu Nuo coming over, she hurriedly said: "Liu Niang, come here and play a game of chess with me. It's like playing with stones with these children. This fine cloud is lost in vain."
Xu Nuo sighed and thought, Qian Dalang is seven years old, which is the age when he first learns Go, but the little lady is only four years old, when she is running around the yard, she is pulled into the room to learn Go, isn't it just playing with stones?
She knelt down beside Lu Twenty-one and said coquettishly: "Aunt Twenty-one, I'm not here to play chess with you, I'm here to get Chun Tang back."
Lu Erniang patted her forehead and said: "Hey, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that Chuntang turned out to be from the Xu family. I see that you look better without her these days, so why don't you She just stays in the Duke's Mansion. She eats well, sleeps well here, and doesn't have to do any work, so it's not necessarily as good as yours."
Lu Erniang's smile is still bright and moving, and her expression is full of "I am very considerate of you, but there is no need to thank me."
Xunuo hugged Lu Erniang's arm and said: "Aunt Twenty-one, you don't know something. I really can't live without Chuntang. When she's not here, I can't sleep well every night. She still needs to be there to keep vigil." OK."
Just as Lv Erniang was about to say something, Xu Nuo hurriedly added: "I have changed many people these days, but nothing works. I haven't slept for an hour in the past two days, so I shamelessly come to you to ask for help."
"You kid, you are becoming more and more sharp-tongued!" Mother Lu patted Xu Nuo, looked at her children, and said, "Although my children can't live without Chun Tang for naps now, you are my sister. My daughter, how can I bear to let you have a bad sleep at night?"
The implication is, how can you bear to let these two children not have a good nap?
