407: Chu Wulang is good at deceiving
Because Xiao Wanyi was about to give birth, the whole family felt as if they were facing an enemy and were very cautious.
Nan Li has rarely gone out recently to avoid emergencies.
Chu Ye is always by Xiao Wanyi's side to prevent her from bumping into her or hearing something she shouldn't hear.
Chu Shuo and Aunt Qian have always been practical. Before Xiao Wanyi was born, they had already bought a lot of delicacies and nourishing medicinal materials so that Xiao Wanyi could take good care of her body as soon as possible after giving birth.
Chu Huan originally wanted to discuss the marriage, but now nothing is as important as his nephew, so he will put the marriage discussion aside for the time being.
Chu Yang, who was still studying martial arts at the Red Fire Sect, also rushed back just to see his first little nephew born and give him a chance to hug him.
Chu Yan went to and from the college as usual, but unfortunately today, the wheel of the carriage was broken. The coachman and the boy were busy repairing it, while Chu Yan was waiting nearby.
A carriage came from the opposite side. The street was wide and they could have passed side by side, but they stopped beside Chu Yan.
The person on the carriage raised the curtain, with a gentle smile on his face and a loud voice: "My nephew, your carriage is broken down? Do you want me to give you a ride?"
Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, he had no impression of this face.
Look at the wooden sign on the carriage again, it says "Cheng".
He became even more confused. When did his family become friends with the man named Cheng?
Probably here to build a relationship, right?
But etiquette still has to be observed. Chu Yan clasped his hands in salute and said, "Who is your Excellency?"
Cheng Wei looked at his understanding of etiquette, and his smile deepened, "I am the Zhonglang General of the East Palace, and I used to guard the border with your father."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan knew which Cheng family it was.
At this time, Mr. Cheng was well-known in the court. He was originally a martial artist, and he had made many military achievements with his bravery. He was an upright man and did not follow the crowd, so he was assigned by the emperor to be the Zhonglang General in the East Palace.
Even his father praised Master Cheng at home.
Chu Yan's expression became more respectful and he said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Cheng, but my nephew's carriage should be repaired soon, so I won't trouble Mr. Cheng."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a click.
Then the wheels of the Marquis's carriage were completely broken, and the whole carriage tilted sideways, making it impossible to move at all.
Chu Yan looked embarrassed.
Cheng Wei laughed and said: "You're welcome, come up. If we delay any longer, it will be almost dark."
The carriage was broken down and Chu Yan had no excuse to refuse.
When he got on the carriage, Cheng Wei gave him a hand. After he sat down, he asked if the cushions were soft enough. He was so polite that Chu Yan was flattered.
He is just a junior and the most inconspicuous son of the Chu family. How could Master Cheng treat him so politely?
For a moment, he hesitated a little: "Master Cheng, I would be very grateful if you could give my nephew a ride. You don't need to be so polite."
Cheng Wei stared at his face and found that his eyes were not as black as ink, but light brown.
He suddenly had a suspicion in his mind and said: "The fifth young master's eyes are very special. I remember that the marquis's eyes are not like this. I think the fifth young master inherited it from his biological mother."
Chu Yan pursed his lips and slowly clenched his hands into fists under his sleeves.
But he thought of the sixth sister's words and quickly felt relieved, "Yes, my grandma's eyes are like this too."
Cheng Wei asked again: "I wonder where the fifth son's biological mother is?"
Chu Yan opened his mouth to answer, but his mind went blank.
He only knew that his biological mother's name was Xu Yan.
Everything else he knew nothing about.
When he was a child, he was not so sensible and sensitive. He once pestered his father to ask about his biological mother, but his father was always evasive, saying a few words, either avoiding the topic, or saying that he had something to do.
As he grew older, he realized that his father didn't like him mentioning his biological mother, so he kept his mouth shut from then on.
"My grandma is from the north." Chu Yan still looked calm.
He felt that his father may not like his mother-in-law, but he valued him.
Not to mention the other brothers and sisters.
He is not greedy, even if he only has so much, he feels it is enough.
Seeing that he couldn't tell the exact location, Cheng Wei narrowed his eyes slightly and soon laughed: "I see, there are several small tribes in the north, and the people's eyes look like this."
Chu Yan immediately pricked up his ears and became interested: "Really? Which small tribes are they?"
Seeing this, Cheng Wei took advantage of the situation and said: "I don't know much about this, but I know a member of a small tribe. He used to run business and often traveled back and forth between those small tribes. Maybe he also knows you.
Where is the biological mother?"
Chu Yan's eyes were already bright at this time.
Although he is happy now, he still wants to know everything about A-Niang!
"Can Master Cheng give me a recommendation?"
Cheng Wei waited for his words and nodded: "Of course it is possible. Mr. Hou and I were colleagues before. This is just a simple matter."
When he mentioned his father, Chu Yan looked a little solemn and said, "Please, Mr. Cheng, please don't mention this matter to my father, okay?"
Cheng Wei suppressed his smile and said, "What? Could it be that the Marquis thinks that your biological mother is from a small ethnic group and cannot be put on the stage?"
Chu Yan clenched his fist again, and after a while, he said: "No, it was my mother who died in childbirth. My father was too sad and he never liked to mention my mother's affairs to me. I just didn't want to remind my father.
Sad things.”
After hearing this, Cheng Wei patted his shoulder and said, "I understand. I will wait for you at Yongle Tower in three days."
Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng."
Having arrived at the Marquis Mansion, the carriage stopped.
Cheng Wei wanted to send him off, but felt it was too obvious, so he had to hold back.
After Chu Yan got off the carriage, he bowed his hands to Cheng Wei to express his gratitude.
Cheng Wei watched him enter the Hou Mansion and murmured: "The Chu family has taught people so well... but people are a bit naive and easy to deceive."
He looked at the plaque of the Marquis Mansion again, looked at the guards guarding the door, and told the coachman: "Go back to the mansion."
After returning to Cheng Mansion, he went straight to the study.
He hurriedly took out the scroll and looked at the beautiful woman on it, with a look of joy on his face: "It's really magical. Your Majesty did not inherit the light brown eyes of Queen Mother Yide, but it was the Fifth Prince who inherited them."
As soon as Qi Hong ascended the throne, he posthumously named his mother and concubine the Queen Mother of Yide, and his younger brother as the King of Jingyang. They were given the largest fiefdom and the largest food town. This honor can be said to be the only one in Qi.
Yes.
And now, he has found His Majesty’s biological brother!
He can go back to Qi State soon and be promoted to a higher position!
The darkroom door opens from the inside.
Although the sky has darkened, the setting sun is still dazzling.
Xue Shengnan and Shuang'er stayed in the dark room for a long time, eating, drinking, and having sex. Sometimes they didn't see sunlight for several days. Now they suddenly saw a few rays of the setting sun, and both of them squinted their eyes unaccustomedly.
