Rebirth of the perfect brother-in-law

After more than half a month, Chu Nan finally recovered to almost the same level. Every day when he got up, he would practice some weird moves. He didn't stop until the sun rose high and sweat appeared on his forehead. Chu Yue, who had been living in the small courtyard, plus the one sent by his ancestors,

With two maids, the small courtyard is full of laughter and laughter every day. It is much better than the gloomy appearance before.

Every day Chu Nan went to chat with his ancestors, and then came back to play with Chu Yue. Chu Yue made no secret of her closeness to Chu Nan, chasing and playing in the house every day, playing very childish games, and sometimes Yang Mei also

Even though Chu Yue forced him to fool around, he often asked for mercy with a smile, and he finally gained some popularity.

A few days later, Chu Yue was called into the room by Chu Yuan and reprimanded. She pouted and returned to Chu Nan's courtyard to pack her things, and reluctantly went back to live with her ancestors.

Chu Nan then went to Chu Yuan's study. Before he entered, he heard a quarrel coming from the room. Chu Nan thought about it, the only one in the Chu family who dared to quarrel with Chu Yuan was the wife of the main wife of the Chu family.

Chu Nan had no interest in what was going on between the couple and deliberately made some noise. Sure enough, the room became quiet.

Chu Yuan sighed and said, "It's Nan'er, come in."

When Chu Nanmen entered, he did not ask for greetings or kneel down, but just stood aside with his head bowed.

Chu Yuan has always been strong at home and has always been right, but he just can't surrender to the son in front of him. After being slapped by the Chu family when he was a child, Chu Nan went to Chu Yuan crying but was beaten back by Chu Yuan impatiently. Since then,

He never called his father again, and never gave the Chu family a good look. Chu Yuan later beat Chu Nan severely, so Chu Nan never practiced the Chu family's ancestral martial arts after that.

Too cruel, Chu Nan simply ran away from home.

It took three years for him to come back. During this time, Chu Yuan was scolded by his ancestors many times. Now when he saw Chu Nan's appearance, he just pretended not to have seen it. He asked Chu Nan's injury in detail, and then nodded a little.

To have a good relationship with Yangmei, see Chu

Nan agreed absentmindedly, and after thinking about it, he said: "Seven days later, Your Majesty will hold a banquet in the palace to greet General Yang Shouye who returned to Beijing to report on his duties. This is a family banquet. There are not many people. I mean, before you or your third brother

Follow me..."

Only then did Chu Nan know what the two Chu Yuan were arguing about before coming here. The younger generation could not achieve much, and the fastest way to get ahead was to gain the emperor's appreciation and at least become familiar with each other. Chu Nan shook his head and said: "It hurts."

It’s not easy yet, and I don’t have any experience in this area, so I won’t go.”

Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Nan in surprise and said with a smile: "Nan'er really don't want to go? Just now I told your father to take you to see things. But since the injury is not healed yet, just rest at home and recuperate. There will be many opportunities in the future.

"

Chu Nan smiled, her mother was really good at being a good person. Since she married into the Chu family, the Chu family has been firmly in charge of the Chu family inside and outside. She did not dare to interfere except in the affairs of the old lady, even if the servants killed a chicken.

Ask her for advice. But Chu is really capable

Not little, she managed the Chu family in an orderly manner and was known as a good wife. It was also her fault that Chu An joined the household department instead of joining the army. Several other children of the Chu family, including Chu Kuang, were eaten to death by her.

, not to mention several concubines of Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan felt that he owed Chu Nan the most among his sons. He frowned and said, "This is Yang Mei's father's reception banquet. Most of the people attending are military generals. It's not appropriate for An'er to go."

Mrs. Chu's expression did not change and she said softly: "Didn't Nan'er say that his injury has not healed yet? What's more, Nan'er's position is too low and he doesn't understand officialdom. He is afraid that something will go wrong if he goes there. Learn slowly first.

Rules, we’ll talk about them later.”

Chu Nan couldn't help laughing. The Chu family really seized every opportunity to fight for the inheritance rights for Chu An. The Chu family is a general. If Chu Kuang returns to the capital, Chu Kuang will most likely inherit the Chu family. It seems that the Chu family is

There is a sense of crisis. It turns out that Chu Nan is tired of this kind of incompetence

The skilled man had only been away for three years. Now that he came back and saw these things, he couldn't help but feel a little funny. He said lightly: "I will have my own way to support myself in the future. Chu Kuang probably doesn't have much interest in the family property. Hey, it's been all these years."

Now, you still can’t see through it?”

Chu Nan has no background except for the Chu family. Chu Kuang has never returned to the Chu Mansion in Yanjing for five years in the army. The other two children were also driven to their hometown early. Basically no one can compete with Chu An, just because of his mother.

Due to the nature of protecting children, Mrs. Chu always subconsciously creates many imaginary enemies for Chu An.

Chu Nan's few words made Chu's smile forced, and Chu Yuan's eyes were cold. Chu Nan looked at the couple, secretly thinking that they were also two poor people. Thinking that Chu Nan was about to get up and leave, he saw the housekeeper Zhao

Jiu hurried over.

Zhao Jiu was fat, and it was even more difficult to bear the heat today. He wiped the sweat with his sleeves and gasped: "Master, Madam, this is Prince Jing's famous invitation."

Mrs. Chu naturally knew how terrible the influence of the indifferent Prince Jing was, so she did not dare to take the invitation and asked, "What does Prince Jing have to do with me?"

Zhao Jiu glanced at Chu Nan and said in a low voice: "My servant asked, it was for the fifth young master, not the master."

Mrs. Chu also glanced at Chu Nan and said in surprise: "You are looking for the young master? Have you asked clearly?"

Zhao Jiu hurriedly said: "Prince Jing's butler sent it. He said that he heard that the fifth young master had recovered from his injury, and the prince invited him to reminisce about old times."

Mrs. Chu secretly pouted, what old relationship does Chu Nan have with Prince Jing? When Chu Nan was a child, he took Li Zhen to beat Prince Jing's eldest son Li Liang, and even climbed over Prince Jing's most precious grape trellis. At most, he even poisoned Jing.

There are a few native dogs in the palace, but not much else.

What's going on? But since it was the butler of Prince Jing's Mansion, I thought it was right, so I didn't ask too much. I just told the butler to remember to prepare gifts and not to lose etiquette. I also wanted to give Chu Nan a few words, but unexpectedly Chu Nan

Already turned around and left.

Chu Nan left the Chu Mansion, but saw that the old housekeeper of Prince Jing's Mansion had not left yet. After all, he was a good young man who knew how to respect the elderly and love the young. Chu Nan quickly stepped forward and said hello: "Hello, Housekeeper Yue. Prince Jing wants to see the boy.

All I have to do is give you an order, how dare I bother you so much."

Housekeeper Yue is very tall and handsome, and when he smiles, people can't help but feel close to him, but for such a big man to be a eunuch, people can't help but sigh.

Although Butler Yue was a eunuch, he was somewhat feminine and said with a hearty smile: "The palace is not far from here, so it's good to go out and stretch your muscles. Yue heard that the prince mentioned you, so he asked for your order. Well, I am.

You came on foot, if you want to take a carriage, just go back to the house and call for it."

Chu Nan was very fond of this seemingly rough and unruly butler. He heard that he was a famous warrior in the green forest. He was tricked into becoming a eunuch in the palace. Later, King Jing ordered people to kill all his enemies before he entered the palace with all his heart.

After entering Prince Jing's Mansion, even after so many years, his arrogance from back then has not diminished by half. Except for Prince Jing, no one he met would call himself a slave. This courage alone makes people admire him with admiration.

Chu Nan shook his head and said: "Where is Butler Yue? Boy, I haven't gotten out of bed for many days. I just happened to walk and breathe in the air." He waved his hand and drove away the coachman who was about to come, and followed behind Butler Yue toward the outside of Green Willow Alley.

Go.

The capital is known to have three major housekeepers, namely Butler Zhao of Chu Mansion, Butler Yue of Prince Jing's Mansion and Butler Guo of Duke Jing's Mansion. Zhao Jiu of Chu Mansion relies on his qualifications. He has traveled extensively with Chu Yuan's father and is higher than Chu Yuan in terms of seniority.

I have contacts with many big figures of the older generation, and no one dares to look down upon them;

Housekeeper Guo of Chu An's mother's natal family, Duke Jingguo, relied on his ability. Under his control, Duke Jingguo's Palace vaguely had the appearance of being the first family in the capital; while Prince Jing had not been involved in worldly affairs all year round, Butler Yue was vaguely the leader of Prince Jing's Palace in the capital.

The spokesperson. Prince Jing was once the Prince of Liang in his early years. Who dares to ignore his hidden strength and influence?

Chu Nan saw the brilliance of Butler Yue. He chatted with Chu Nan along the way, from the great victory in Mobei to some tidbits in the capital. Although they were mentioned briefly, they obviously brought the two people closer.

Due to the distance between people, Chu Nan's mood became much lighter, and he secretly sighed at Butler Yue's good methods.

Prince Jing's Mansion is not far from Green Willow Lane, but it is surrounded by ordinary residential buildings. The vast area of ​​Prince Jing's Mansion also looks very ordinary. There is no gold-painted door commonly used by big families, and there is not even a concierge on the open door.

Following Butler Yue into Prince Jing's Mansion, he saw the huge Jing

Farm crops were planted everywhere in the palace, and even the decorative flowers were very common. Even the ponds used for cooling and raising fish had many gaps dug out and used as irrigation water sources for various parts of the palace. Although it was not the first

We met once, but Chu Nan still couldn't help but sigh.

Butler Yue took Chu Nan outside a small courtyard, smiled and motioned Chu Nan to go in, then turned and left.

Chu Nan slowly walked in and saw Prince Jing, who was extremely low-key but well-known in the capital. Prince Jing was tall and thin, his hair was already a little gray, and it was obvious that he had rarely taken care of it and looked very messy. His bronze face looked like that of an ordinary old farmer.

He was so dull, and he didn't wear any luxurious clothes. His big hands with protruding veins were digging the soil with a shovel. From the withered and yellow branches and leaves on the ground, it could be seen that there were newly harvested crops. I don't know what the prince was doing.

.

Prince Jing stood up slowly, beat his thighs that had been numb from squatting for a long time, and said to Chu Nan with a smile: "I'm getting older, and I'm becoming more and more useless. I just felt dizzy after doing this for a while." He pointed out again.

He pointed at a small pavilion not far away and motioned Chu Nan to sit there. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and successfully left a few funny mud marks on his face.

Chu Nan did not help the swaying old man attentively. He sat alone on the stone bench in the pavilion and drank tea patiently.

After a while, King Jing changed into clean clothes, sat down next to Chu Nan with a smile, looked at Chu Nan, and sighed: "Hey, you really caught up with me. I cooked some edamame today. It must be cheap."

You are."
