Today, Chu Qing no longer needs to disguise himself, he has the qualifications.
Today's Chu Mansion is not accessible to anyone who wants to, not even the head of the Chu family.
Back outside the mansion, Chu Qing leaned against the dilapidated stone lion. From the corner of his eye, he noticed the gazes of various families watching in the snow.
He has long been used to this. There is nothing to arrest, it is meaningless, and there is no way to catch them all. Instead, he is ridiculed by others, just like he used Qianqiying to spy on other families. This is everyone's free.
Butler Bao brought the hot tea, Chu Qing nodded in thanks, but Butler Bao's face was calm.
Chu Zhengdao also took the tea cup, took a deep look at Chu Qing, shook his head slightly, and sighed.
Chu Qing: "Why?"
"regret."
Chu Qing smiled slightly.
Chu Zhengdao also laughed, laughing at himself: "Wu An was like this when he was still in the mansion. He treated the servants in the mansion with courtesy and thanks. It was puzzling. He was not like a son of aristocratic family who didn't read the Four Books and Five Classics." He no longer looks like a son of an aristocratic family, but looking at it now, the qualities of a son of this aristocratic family are neither pretended nor read out. He can bring peace to the country and put an end to chaos. He has the talent to govern the world. Invincible, a dragon or a phoenix among men, but it has nothing to do with my Chu family. The more amazing and beautiful I am, the more the Chu family regrets it. How can I not regret it? I regret that this is the best warrior in the world. I regret this world-famous capable minister of Dachang, whose surname is Chu. , but it has nothing to do with our Chu family."
"You should regret it." Chu Qing took a sip of tea and teased: "Who would have thought that the female Taoist fishing by the river was actually the eldest princess of the Dachang Dynasty."
These words directly hit Chu Zhengdao's lungs. His palms, which had been frozen for two hours, trembled, and the tea cup shook slightly.
Yes, when Chu Wensheng left the Chu family, it was because of a female Taoist who fished by the river, and this female Taoist was the most beloved eldest princess of two generations of emperors.
What's funny is that the daughter-in-law that the Chu family originally found for Chu Wensheng was also a girl from an aristocratic family, and she thought she was a bit high-spirited. Now look at it, that girl from aristocratic family is not even qualified to carry the eldest princess's shoes.
Life is full of emotions.
The laughter and laughter in the Chu Mansion were like a curse, causing Chu Zhengdao to close his eyes in pain.
Inside, there are princes, prime ministers, princes, and people who can control the world. Originally, he should be the head of this mansion and chat and laugh with these big shots who are stirring up the world. But this wall is like a wall. After Chu Wensheng was pushed across the chasm, he and the Chu family were no longer qualified to stand side by side with him.
"Back then, the family wanted to train Wu An as the head of the family."
Chu Qing smiled slightly: "My father doesn't read the Four Books and Five Classics."
"I read all the Four Books and the Five Classics, except Wu An. There are too many people who read the Four Books and the Five Classics. There are so many people. But do you know what these people who read the Four Books and the Five Classics are afraid of?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Chu Zhengdao raised his left arm and clenched his skinny fingers into a fist: "I'm afraid of this thing."
Chu Qing laughed loudly: "That's true."
"Wu An has been very strong since he was a child. People who read the Four Books and Five Classics are afraid of him. At that time, we were thinking that the Chu family must rely on Wu An."
"The logic is wrong, or I didn't understand." Chu Qing shook his head: "It's best to tell the truth in front of me. I don't like others to treat me as a fool. If I am strong, I should be trained as the head of the family. You are kidding me. ?”
"That's what I said, those who read the Four Books and Five Classics have little strength, but those who have great strength can read the Four Books and Five Classics. Just put the books there and read them. Your fourth uncle, you know."
"I don't know Fourth Uncle, I only know Chu Fengyuan."
"I made a mistake. It's not your fourth uncle, but Chu Fengyuan. My fourth brother has served in the Ministry of War in Central Beijing."
"I know that General Yuhui of the fourth rank, he is responsible for defeating half of the glory of the Chu family. He passed the southern border, penetrated deep into the mountains, and made numerous achievements."
"Yes, the fourth child said that Wu An is a handsome man, and the glory of the Chu family belongs to Wu An. The fourth child never lies. Originally, he wanted to use his old face for half his life to find a job for Wu An in the Ministry of War, saying that Wu An would rise to the top when he arrived at the Ministry of War. , is a piece of beautiful jade, a handsome jade, a beautiful jade to be the commander-in-chief of my Dachang Dynasty border gate. The fourth child is sure and convinced. The family does not believe in Wu An but believes in the fourth child. The old man even said with a smile, Wu An can see this at such a young age. What's more, the fourth child said that if he led troops into battle at such a young age, hundreds of the fourth children would run away after hearing the news. What he said was confusing, but it was not a joke. We waited for a long time, hesitated for a long time, and discussed it for a long time, and finally , then he will train Wu An as the head of the family."
Chu Qing was speechless.
He already knew these things.
But that's how men are, they always change the trajectory of their lives because of a woman, and change the trajectory of countless people's lives.
Chu Zhengdao handed the tea cup to Guan Guan Bao and smiled bitterly at Chu Qing: "The Chu family has never treated Wu An badly, but Wu An insisted on going his own way. Even Wu An doesn't know the identity of the eldest princess. The Chu family..."
Chu Qing really didn't have the patience for this kind of thing, so he issued an eviction order: "The wind is getting a little crazy, and the house is still entertaining guests."
"Okay, I'll take my leave then."
"I won't send it."
Chu Zhengdao raised his head and looked at the old and mottled plaque of the Chu Mansion. For some reason, he felt it was dazzling. It was so dazzling that he couldn't look straight at it, but he couldn't help but want to look at it.
In the wind and snow, Chu Zhengdao walked away and got into a sedan.
Chu Qing kept watching until the sedan disappeared in the wind and snow, then turned around and saw Tao Ruolin and Bihua standing at the door.
With a slight smile, Chu Qing took Tao Ruolin's hand and returned to the Chu Mansion.
Bihua looked at Fu San and asked puzzledly: "The eldest lady said that is Mr. Chu's third uncle, why don't you bring him into the mansion to sit with him?"
"After entering the mansion, he is the eldest young master's third uncle. Without entering the mansion, he is just the head of the Chu family, the eldest young master..."
Fu San did not continue. He felt that his eldest young master was still soft-hearted.
Although he didn't bring it into the mansion, he stayed outside the mansion for a while and drank a cup of cold tea. With this cup of cold tea alone, the Chu family didn't dare to say that they would be prosperous in the future, at least no one would dare to provoke him.
The banquet lasted until half past midnight, and Chu Qing also drank a lot. Although the wind and snow were heavy, it was not cold, and the stove in the yard was burning brightly.
Jiang Yuesheng was the first to leave, taking Tudou and Sweet Potato with him. When he left, more than a hundred scout horses emerged from the alley, and Chang Yu also transferred more than fifty imperial guards.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes were sent to the academy, and the seeds were planted, burying a tangible hope that represents the hope of a better tomorrow.
Not only in Chu Mansion, but also in various mansions and mansions in Beijing, no one could sleep.
The dignitaries gathered together and talked a lot.
Because a person is back, a city, the largest city in Zhongzhou, is uneasy, discussing, preparing, and trembling with fear.
Early the next morning, Chu Qing, who was a little hungover, put on noble clothes and got into a sedan to go to the palace instead of riding a horse.
On the first day of the year, Chu Qing, who had not celebrated the New Year in Beijing for two consecutive years, was not prepared to let anyone have a good New Year.
