BXBX NOVEL Chapter 379 - 379-Face Dog
The corner of Chu Lingzi’s mouth twitched. The elegant temperament that her mother had forced out these past few days had all dissipated.
“I know that your sister-in-law has a good relationship. Do you have to praise each other so much?”
As she spoke, she took out a jade Ruyi with gold inlaid on it.
Alright, he had squeezed Xiao Baoxin and Xiao Miaorong’s gold and jade together in one fell swoop, causing everyone to laugh uncontrollably. Why would she say something like that? Xiao Baoxin had hit her with that pole.
The girls had not seen each other for a long time, so they laughed after a few words.
Xiao Miaorong wasn’t in this small circle, so she naturally didn’t know about Wang Qiang’s matter. However, it wasn’t appropriate for Xiao Baoxin to invite Xiao Miaorong and then ask her to prepare a gift, so he directly prepared two sets and informed Xiao Miaorong on the way here.
Xiao Miaorong didn’t say anything else, only that she would compensate her next time.
“I know that my sister doesn’t lack money now and has brother-in-law to spoil her, but I also have a dowry. I’m still able to take out this little gift. If there’s such a thing next time, Sister will tell me directly. I’m stupid, but at least I know.”
Even if she couldn’t see through Mrs. Xiao, no matter how unreasonable she was, she could still tell that Xiao Baoxin had brought Xiao Jing ‘ai into the circle of noble women.
Moreover, there were sisters-in-law who were married into the same family. It was only good for Xiao Miaorong to have good relations with them.
Wang Qiang’s adopted son was not a direct descendant, but a little boy from a side branch. He had delicate features and was eloquent. He was not even two years old and already knew how to recite a hundred surnames.
The Chu family’s side branches, especially those who were down and out, were all boiling over because of the problem of the stepson. It could be said that the eight immortals had crossed the sea to show their talents, and they were all eager to be chosen. Although the Wang family had fallen and Twelfth Aunt Wang’s maiden family had no one to rely on, she was the direct son of the Chu family. The Chu family would not treat her badly. No matter what, she was stronger than the Chu family.
In the end, it was Madam Wang who chose this child. Because this child’s eyebrows and eyes looked a little like the young Si Lang’, Wang Qiang agreed with one sentence and named him An.
She treated her son as her own. She did not expect him to be famous among the vassals. She hoped that he would not die young like Chu Silang and live a peaceful and smooth life.
Now that she had been adopted for less than half a month, she was sensible and didn’t cry or make a fuss. She was also polite and was very liked by Wang
Qiang.
After receiving so many gifts, Chu An thanked them one by one. His small appearance was very likable.
Xiao Baoxin’s eyes were almost gone from laughing. Xiao Miaorong gently tugged at her sister’s sleeve. No matter how sensible that child was, she was still a child. If she continued laughing like this, she would be scared to tears.
She knew that her sister loved her family. When she was pregnant, she couldn’t bear to see her child. She couldn’t wait to see someone with a big belly and get closer to them. Yes, she was talking about Madam Cai. The two pregnant women of different generations sat together and talked about pregnancy. They got along very well.
Those who didn’t know better would think that she was crazy. If she laughed a little more, her little tongue would almost come out.
“Sister, stop laughing. Those who don’t know might think that you’re selling the child.”
Although Xiao Miaorong’s voice was soft, it did not reach her ears. Chu Lingzi was the first to hear it and she laughed so hard that she swayed back and forth, startling the serving girl beside her.
It had been a long time since he had seen his wife smile so boldly.
Their Madam had been working hard for nearly half a year, but she had returned to her original state in one day. She was even more wild and shocked.
It would have been fine if Chu Lingzi didn’t laugh, but her smile scared Chu An to tears. This laughter and tears made everyone laugh again. The maids beside them couldn’t help but cover their mouths.
Wang Qiang held back her laughter.” Say, where do you have the shyness of a mother waiting to be married? Look at how you scared my son.””As she spoke, she hugged Chu An in her arms and comforted him gently.
” I am who I am. What’s there to be shy about?” Chu Lingzi smiled as she wiped her tears. She was also crying from Chu An’s reaction.
” I’ve only seen Xi Silang once. He’s so ugly that he’s so special. He’s not shy anymore. He’s not as handsome as my fourth brother…” She stopped halfway and realized that she had said something wrong.
Who knew that Wang Qiang did not mind, lowering her head and smiling.
“That’s true. Silang is handsome and his handwriting is also handsome. Xi Silang…I’ve never heard of anything else, but I’ve heard that the young master of the Xi family looks like Xi Tingwei.”
Who in Jiankang City didn’t know that Chief Justice Xi was famous for being ugly?
Xie Wan was unconvinced.”No matter how handsome you are, can you be as handsome as my brother?””
Xiao Baoxin enjoyed the fruits of his labor while Xie Xian slaughtered everyone.
Mei Wangtian, a bunch of good-looking dogs’.
A gathering with an engagement and a married woman would inevitably end up with a competition between Langjun. However, it was unheard of for other people to be so ingenious and concealed, and for them to be so unscrupulous. Especially when it came to looks. What did they think of Xi Silang, who was forced to compete?
After Wang Qiang coaxed Chu An, she let the maid bring him back to the main room.
“Speaking of handsome, have you seen your fiance? Is he as good-looking as your brother?”Chu Lingzi asked Xie Wan.
Xie Wan’s little face suddenly turned red and she straightened her back.”I have. I can’t compare to my brother, but I can compare to Xi Silang. As for the Xi family’s third son, I’ve never seen him before, so I don’t know if he’s comparable.”
“I heard father say that the doctor seemed to be disliked by the new emperor and was dismissed. In a fit of anger, the doctor left Jiankang as if he had been hung up by an official.”Chu Lingzi hesitated.
The doctor was referring to Zhuge Fu, the Zhongsan doctor conferred by Emperor Yuheng.
Xie Xian sent Zhuge Fu and his son to Roman to establish good relations and join forces to guard against North Wu. This matter was naturally inconvenient to publicize. He only found a reason to dismiss Zhuge Fu from his post and left Jiankang to go to Rouran.
Among them, only Emperor Yong Ping and Xie Xian knew about it. Outsiders only knew one thing and did not know the other. Therefore, there were also discussions. The Zhuge family abandoned Emperor Yong Ping and rebelled, not waiting for the new emperor.
Chu Lingzi’s father was originally the governor of Yuzhou. Later, after the death of Noble Consort Liu, a doctor surnamed Guo cried especially miserably and almost passed out. He received the Sacred Heart and was appointed governor of Yuzhou.
After casually sealing, he remembered Chu Huairen and transferred him back to Jiankang to serve as the director of the book and the general of the West.
Although the position of the Head of the Bureau of Governmental Affairs was not comparable to that of the Shangshu Ling, it had to be close to the central control. It had more power than the Shangshu Ling of Shangming and was called the Phoenix Pool.
Emperor Yongping ascended the throne, but Father Chu remained in his original position.
The processor was naturally aware of Zhuge Fu’s movements, but Chu Lingzi overheard him mentioning the Zhuge family when he was chatting with his wife.
In the entire Jiankang, there was only one Zhuge family. When they entered the court, they attracted the attention of everyone. Chu Lingzi naturally paid more attention because of Xie Wan. After asking, she found out the reason and could not help but break out in a sweat for Xie Wan.
Because of the chaos of war, countless marriages had been ruined. The marriage of the Second Mother of the Xie family had been ruined.
However, Chu Lingzi and Xie Erniang were not on good terms and did not like each other. Naturally, they did not care about each other. They were different from Xie Wan. This time, he finally got the chance to talk to Xie Wan.
After saying that, she felt a little regretful. Her mouth was faster than her brain.. Should she tell Xie Wan about this behind her back?
