If it weren't for the person sitting here, King Chen Gu Jue, Chu Lingxiao would have left long ago.

In the main hall, the atmosphere became even more stagnant, as if suddenly entering the cold autumn.

Everyone seemed to be mute and silent.

At first, the grandma, Chu Lingxiao, Chu Lingyu and others tried to talk to Gu Jue, but they always received a faint response. Gu Jue added up with his words, probably not even ten words.

Later, the Tai Madam and others tried to put their hot faces on Gu Jue's cold butt. Anyway, they were eager to keep a distance from Gu Jue, the plague god.

Finally, a little maid with round faces came to report in a hurry: "The Grandma, Grandma, Second Aunt and Fourth Master are here."

The Chu family inside the room were relieved and looked out the hall together.

Far from afar, Shen, Chu Qianchen and Chu Yunmu came hand in hand, walking in the lush shade of the forest, strolling in the garden.

The three of them talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

With the burning eyes of everyone, the three of them entered the main hall.

Shen didn't care about the grandma at all. Chu Lingxiao and the others were happy, and looked at Gu Jue.

Shen also met the young Gu Jue. At that time, Gu Jue was the ninth prince who was the favorite of the late emperor, wearing bright clothes and angry horses, and was full of energy.

When Gu Jue went to the Marquis's mansion to welcome the bride the day before yesterday, Shen looked at Gu Jue from afar, feeling like he was a different life.

King Chen looked really different from before.

The young man showed his sharpness, but now he is free to keep it open and hides it.

He sat there, quiet and deep, cold and arrogant.

It seemed as if there was an invisible barrier that separateed him from the others around him.

There was no sign of joy or anger on his face.

Shen clenched his fists, thinking about whether to apologize, when he saw Chu Qianchen smiled at him, delicate and soft. Gu Jue's cold eyes softened a lot, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, describing a little more warmth.

Seeing this, Shen's heart was relieved half again.

Who knows that King Chen Gu Jue is arrogant and not easy to approach. Ordinary people cannot catch his eye. Even if he faces the emperor, he will not be at all inferior.

He was obviously a bit unusual to Chu Qianchen.

This is a good start!

When Shen looked at Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen again, he felt that they were very talented and beautiful.

Shen walked briskly to the Taima, and was blessed, "Mother."

The lady was upset when she saw Shen, but now King Chen is here, she could only force a smile, "Azhi, you are here. Your complexion seems to be much better than yesterday, sit down."

Everyone knew that this was just a scene. Shen also smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern", and sat down next to Chu Lingxiao.

The next step was to formally recognize the relatives, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Because Chu Lingxiao's legs and feet are inconvenient, today, Chu Lingyu, the second master of Chu, led Gu Jue to recognize his relatives, while Chu Qianchen followed Gu Jue quietly, graceful and dignified.

Today's recognition of relatives is not much the same as ordinary recognition of relatives. Gu Jue is the prince, so he naturally does not need to bow to the Chu family. Chu Lingyu introduced people, and Gu Jue recognized people one by one.

The people present were all surnamed Chu. In addition to the four families of the Chu family, there were also some people from the Chu family in Beijing, with more than 40 people.

The elders naturally prepared a gift for their new son-in-law. When it was Chu Qianchen's turn to give it, Gu Jue gave it to him. The girls received all the same eight-treasure gold collars, while the young men had a good set of four treasures in the study.

Only Chu Yunyi and Chu Yunmu had a Persian scimitar that was different from others, and the rubies embedded in the golden scabbard were shining.

Chu Yunmu's eyes were glowing like gems and said happily: "Thank you brother-in-law."

He couldn't help but pull the scimitar out of the scabbard. The silver blade was so cold that it was extremely sharp.

Chu Yunmu straightened his chest, feeling as if he was already a proud general.

He suddenly felt that having a brother-in-law seemed pretty good...

About half an hour later, the ceremony of recognizing relatives ended.

According to custom, newlyweds have to stay at their parents' home to enjoy a simple meal before leaving.

So, Madam Chen came to ask for instructions on whether to move to the theater, saying that the opera troupe was ready.

For today's return banquet, Shen specially invited the opera troupe to the door, and he took great pains to do so, because he was afraid that everyone would be speechless, so he might as well say a few less words, watch a few operas, and use the meal to end the show.

Chu Qianchen knew all these.

She called out "Prince", and Gu Jue understood what she meant, got up first, and said, "Let's go."

Shen saw the tacit eye contact between them and felt even happier.

Everyone moved to the theater to listen to the opera. The men surrounded Gu Jue and walked in front, and Chu Qianchen and the women walked behind.

There is a clear distinction between men and women.

Soon, everyone arrived at the theater and others took the seat one after another.

Shen directly asked the opera troupe to open the gong, and the first one he sang was the happy "Five Girls' Birthday Worship".

After a while, when it was time for Shen to take medicine, Dongmei came with a food box, so Shen left the theater on the excuse of changing clothes.

As soon as Shen left, Chu Qianchen was called to the side hall next door by the grandmother. The only one who accompanied him was Liu.

No one else cared about it, just pretending that the lady had a good relationship with Chu Qianchen, according to the custom of returning home, the female elders at home should symbolically ask the newlyweds how they had been doing in the past few days.

Madam Wang drove all the maids to the corridor and waited.

The sound of silk and bamboo outside is lively.

The first scene of "Five Girls' Birthday" was when Mr. Yang held his 60th birthday. His five daughters came to celebrate his birthday with their son-in-law. The actor's babbling chants came faintly, which made the hall look particularly cold.

The lady pretended to take a sip of tea, then asked coldly: "Sister Chen, are you doing well in the royal palace?"

She asked perfunctorily, so Chu Qianchen also answered perfunctorily: "Okay."

This word is finished.

Both the grandparents and grandchildren were not sincere to each other. They had already broken their faces and had no more face left.

The lady moved her eyebrows and pursed her lips and became silent.

She picked up the blue and white porcelain tea cup again, slowly drank the tea, and tried to silently put pressure on Chu Qianchen in this way.

For Chu Qianchen, the Taima's method was not enough to see.

She felt leisurely and contented. As soon as she stretched out her hand, Amber tacitly handed a round fan embroidered with a cat and a butterfly to her.

Chu Qianchen slowly fanned the round fan, and once and for a while, she didn't look at the lady, and looked at the pond outside the window.

The lotus flowers bloom in half the pond, and the lotus fragrance ignites, causing butterflies and dragonflies to fly between the lotus leaves and the lotus flowers.

If Yueying was there, she would probably make a thin and cunt scream and rushed out to rush to rush to the butterfly.

Thinking of his own kitten, Chu Qianchen narrowed his eyes slightly.

She was afraid that the little cat would not adapt to the strange environment, but yesterday when she was walking around the garden with Gu Jue, she saw the little black cat snatching butterflies among the flowers, rubbing her with only a charity, and then ran away again.

The grandma didn't speak, and Chu Qianchen didn't speak either.

The grandparents and grandchildren seem to be having a silent showdown.

The dead silence continued quietly in the hall, and time passed.

The lady's eyes flashed slightly, and her disgust deepened little by little. She thought to herself: Chu Qianchen's cowardly look in the past was indeed pretending! This girl can pretend for so many years, and she is too scheming.

On the contrary, Liu was a little anxious and his eyes were occasionally glancing back and forth between the two.

The lady noticed Liu's expression from the corner of her eyes and sighed that Liu's Taoism was not good enough and she couldn't hold it in such a thing. No wonder she has always been suppressed by Shen over the years.

Mrs. Liu held the veil and saw that the grandmother had not spoken, she couldn't help it and turned up: "Sister Chen, your grandmother has something to say to you."

Madam: "…"

The lady disliked Liu's indifference, but when Liu said this, she had to continue.

She twisted the string of Buddhist beads, and her kind-hearted eyes were admonished: "Sister Chen, you are a wife at first, and you must be respectful, humble, quiet and polite, and abide by the "Women's Precepts" and "Women's Rules"."

Chu Qianchen was still slowly fanning the round fan, no matter how often, he didn't comment, and planned to see which drama they were singing.

Immediately afterwards, the grandma changed her mind: "I know you have gotten along well with the second prince since childhood. The family had the idea of ​​promising you to the second prince, but now you have married King Chen, so you shouldn't be distracted and have thoughts you shouldn't have."

She looked earnest and showed her grandmother's dignity.

At this time, the actors outside happened to sing that Mrs. Yang despises the poor and loves the rich, and makes things difficult for the three daughters and the third son-in-law. The sound of silk and bamboo became tense, and it felt quite serious about to break out.

Chu Qianchen sat upright gracefully, the round fan in his hand stopped, and withdrew his gaze from outside the window and looked at Madam Tai.

The lady took out a water-green lotus embroidered purse from her sleeve, put it on the coffee table, and asked toughly: "Sister Chen, do you recognize this purse?"

Liu squinted the corner of his mouth, smiling rather than smiling.

Chu Qianchen recognized the purse at a glance and smiled calmly.

She remembered that this purse was asked by Aunt Jiang in March. Since the purse has fallen into the hands of the grandma, it is Aunt Jiang who handed over the purse...

Chu Qianchen's eyes gradually became deeper, and his fingertips gently rubbed the handle of the round fan twice.

She remembered the last life. When she was fourteen years old, she was also caught by a purse to the point where she could not tell.
To be continued...
