Chapter 117 Long live my emperor (4)
After making up her mind, Nan Yue felt much better, "I don't want Xiao Hong."
"Ah?" Chu Yu was stunned for a moment, "Then what do you want, sister?"
Then he spoke well of Xiao Hong, "It's very well behaved. Are you sure you don't want it? Many noble ladies in Chaoge City don't have their own horses!"
Although he was the legitimate son of a marquis, he had nothing to give to his sister.
Only Xiaohong is not just a horse, but also the hope he left for his sister.
From now on, if my sister misses him, she can ride Xiaohong.
"You keep Xiaohong for yourself." Nan Yue thought about it for a moment and knew why he left Xiaohong to her.
It's very strange. Even though the brother and sister didn't spend much time together, their feelings for each other are incomparable to others.
Just passing by, Nan Yue pointed casually and said, "I want this horse!"
A black horse with smooth fur did not stay in the stable, but was strolling leisurely beside the stable. No one at the stable dared to approach it, but just looked at it from a distance.
As if aware of being watched, the black horse raised its head with a wild and untamed look in its eyes.
Unexpectedly, my sister fell in love with the famous bad-tempered horse in the Marquis' Mansion. Chu Yu was surprised at my sister's excellent vision. She picked the best horse right away. He shook his head and said, "Sister, this horse is famous for its bad temper and bad temper. Even my father failed to tame it. You can forget about it."
As he said that, he pulled the reins and asked Xiaohong to stay away from it. "I'm afraid it will kick and hurt you before you get close to it, sister."
Nan Yue didn't say much when she heard this, but from now on, this horse was something she must have.
If you can't even tame a horse, how can you accomplish great things in the future?
As if sensing the meaning in her eyes, Black Horse turned his head away with some disdain.
After walking around the horse farm twice, Chu Yu finally put Nan Yue down from the horse.
He personally led Xiaohong back to the stable and touched its smooth mane reluctantly. It seemed that he had not given up the idea of giving Xiaohong to Nanyue.
"Girl." Yunjuan bent down and carefully tidied her dress to prevent people from talking about her again when she returned home.
However, the fact that the girl and the Sixth Young Master rode on the same horse today will sooner or later reach the ears of those people. She will not be able to escape it for too long and will probably be punished.
"Sister, will you go with me to see mother?" Chu Yu asked her.
Nan Yue nodded. I’m afraid that in Chu Yu’s heart, this is the last time he can spend with his family.
Even though she had a plan in mind, now was not the time to tell them.
After talking with Tian for a while, it was actually Chu Yu who was doing most of the talking while Nan Yue just listened and occasionally said a word or two.
Anyway, when Chu Yue returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she went crazy to learn the rules and get punished for breaking them. She didn't have any extra time to reminisce with her mother.
I've been living in the countryside for so many years, so there's nothing much to say.
Tian was used to her coldness, and sometimes when she wanted to improve their relationship she didn't know where to start. It could be said that she didn't understand this daughter who had not been around since she was a child at all.
Therefore, Nan Yue was not worried about showing the changes in front of them.
As for the personal maid Yunjuan?
That would be easier to deal with.
Yunjuan has a simple personality, and after learning the rules for a period of time, she unconsciously becomes old-fashioned and pedantic.
Nan Yue didn't even need to explain, Yun Juan could find a bunch of suitable reasons for her.
After all, Chu Yue did become a lot quieter after returning to the Marquis' Mansion.
Then there's no problem with changing it a little bit.
Before I knew it, the afternoon had passed and it was time for dinner.
The rules in the Marquis' Mansion were strict. Dinner was the most important meal of the day in this dynasty and was eaten by the whole family together.
In the past, when Marquis Yongding was still in power, he would sit at the main seat, and the old lady, Tian, and the legitimate sons and daughters would sit at the same table.
The rest of the illegitimate sons and daughters sat at a small table nearby.
As for the concubines, they stood by and served the dishes. They could only eat at the small table after Marquis Yongding and his men had almost finished eating.
Occasionally, during festivals or when he was in a good mood, he would let his concubines take their seats early.
In short, favoring a concubine over his wife simply does not exist in the Yongding Marquis's Mansion.
It should be said that there are very few of them in the entire Chaoge City.
Even if he doted on his concubines, he dared not dote on them openly.
Marquis Yongding had about five or six concubines, not too many but not too few. One of them was given to him by his good friend.
Now that Marquis Yongding is gone, the one sitting in the main seat is Chu Dalang, Chu Rui, who is about to inherit the title of the Marquis.
Chu Rui is in his early twenties and just got married at the beginning of the year.
The Marquis's Mansion had high expectations for him. When he was as old as Chu Yu, Marquis Yongding asked a famous scholar to give him a name.
This has to do with the naming of characters in the Daning Dynasty. For ordinary men, a character would be named when they performed the coming-of-age ceremony, or it could be named by an elder or a great scholar...
But it is different for the young men of aristocratic families. When they are young, they will ask great scholars to give them a name.
Ordinary people basically will never learn to read in their entire lives.
Like Chu Yu, he had naively thought that Marquis Yongding would give him a name in advance, but the facts proved that he was overthinking.
The dining rules at the Yongding Marquis's mansion are that one should not talk while eating or sleeping. Chu Yu said that when the Yongding Marquis was in power, people were not so repressed.
After all, Marquis Yongding would sometimes ask Chu Dalang about his studies.
Chu Yu used to like listening to it very much, but when he interrupted her cheerfully one day, he was scolded by the old lady and punished.
At that time, Marquis Yongding just looked at him coldly without saying a word to help him.
Chu Yu understood from that time on, and he never showed off in front of his father again, nor did he expect anything from him anymore.
In Chu Yue's memory, one of the things she resisted most after returning to the Marquis' Mansion was having dinner together every day.
But today, the old lady took the initiative to speak, and asked Chu Yu, "Liu Lang, I heard that you went to the horse farm to have fun again today?"
Chu Yu had just taken a bite of food when he heard this. He uttered a confused "ah", raised his head, and said vaguely: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
He held his chopsticks in mid-air, staring straight ahead, his cheeks puffed up, and his mouth still chewing non-stop...
Looking stupid.
The old lady felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart when she saw him like this. After all, he was born to a woman like Tian who was not up to the standard. As the legitimate son of the marquis, he was despised even for eating.
Let’s look at another one…
Nan Yue was concentrating on eating. It must be said that the chef in this marquis's mansion was quite skilled.
She turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and focused on eating the food on the plate.
After all, she wants to do something serious. How can she do anything if she doesn't take good care of her body and doesn't have the energy?
She eats very quickly and her eating manners are not ugly.
But as the saying goes, people who hate you will hate everything you do.
The noble ladies in Chaoge City eat in small bites, just like cats. In order to maintain a slim figure, most of them are full after eating only half a bowl of food.
Nothing like Nan Yue, who ate almost three bowls.
The old lady just felt that she really came from the countryside and had never eaten good food.
These two don't look like the young man and lady from a marquis's mansion at all; they are clearly the vulgar people who don't know the rules!
