Chapter 334: Extraneous Branches
"Dad, what does the An family mean to you?"
After An Zhengchen finished talking about the old ancestor Cheng wanting to marry Cheng Meijiao into King Kang's mansion, An Ning asked. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Without the support of the family, how can we get to today's Hou Mansion? Dad can't disobey the family. An Zhengchen felt that he had called his daughter and was a little inconsiderate. The reason why the daughter asked this was because she couldn't understand the importance of the family to the Hou Mansion. It was necessary for him to teach his daughter. Especially for women, even if they marry in the future, the support of the family is also important. Without the protection of the family, it is difficult to gain a firm foothold in the husband's family. The concept of family cannot be ignored.
"What if the family abandons their father?" An Ning then asked.
An Zhengchen was silent. "No, it won't. "The Hou Mansion is the faΓ§ade of the An family. How could the family abandon it. Besides, so many years of wind and rain have been resisted. His own abilities are recognized by the people of the clan. He couldn't believe it anyway.
An Ning saw that her father was unsuspecting. I feel weak. She always felt that this before and after was strange. I can't figure out where the weirdness is.
"How can Dad be so sure? Guarding against people is indispensable, Daddy also said this to Ning'er. I wonder if Li Rumei was good to my father at the beginning? What happened to the result? I almost broke up my father's wife. Confusion of offspring, needless to say. If Daddy can think of Kindness, who can think of Daddy's goodness?"
An Ning didn't expect her father to agree with her idea right away. But a well-timed reminder should also help.
"How does the old ancestor compare with Li Rumei. Ning'er should not be suspicious. An Zhengchen said. But it was also a meal in my heart.
He trusted the old lady so much. As a result, the wound was severe. But people are different after all. Not all of them are Li Rumei.
"Dad, can the clan's decision be discussed with you in advance?, can the old ancestor write from before that aunt?" An Ning then asked.
Daddy's brain isn't dead. But the family concept in his bones is too strong. In particular, as the head of the Hou Mansion, he is inseparable from the relationship between him and the family.
An Zhengchen hesitated. "No, the ancestor said it was a temporary decision. "In his heart, he wanted to make a decision on the fly. And want to wave the discomfort in the heart.
The father believed it, but the daughter didn't. It's not out of reach. The horse was only two or three hours away. The old ancestor decided to come to the Hou Mansion not for a day or two. Even if you notify your dad halfway, there is time. Isn't it?" This is not unwarranted suspicion.
An Zhengchen's face was moved. It seems that it is not the discomfort in his heart for no reason, even his daughter can see it. Why should he deceive himself?
This has never happened before. Is it just that he is afraid of stopping him?
An Ning looked at his father's face and looked bad. I knew he had listened to it somewhat.
"Dad, do you know Aunt Cheng's background? β
"The background is not complicated, it is a member of the clan of the ancestors. Your ancestor was the stepfamily, and the Cheng family was a small family back then. Unremarkable. Now it's just a solid home. An Zhengchen knows this.
An Ning thought for a moment. "The small family has raised outstanding people like the ancestors. It's really extraordinary. I wonder if my aunt has taken a closer look at the process?"
"Daddy, look at what she's doing!" An Zhengchen immediately said.
An Ning smiled. "Look at what my father said, my daughter said business. I didn't say that you look at beautiful women, not your mother. As he spoke, he coquettishly pulled down his father's arm.
An Zhengchen also smiled. "Look at the knowledgeable. β
"It's not just knowledgeable, this Aunt Cheng doesn't say that she looks the same. The temperament that exudes is definitely not something that a small family can cultivate. "An Ning has been paying attention to Cheng Meijiao since yesterday. The beauty of gestures is difficult for ordinary men to resist. Don't say that the second master stared at it for a long time, until Geng Yuehua pulled him suddenly, and then he felt out of shape. Even the third master, who has never said much, took a few looks. It's just that my dad doesn't squint.
"Could it be that the old ancestor has something to hide?" An Zhengchen also doubted. He didn't pay attention to that Cheng Meijiao. But the daughter won't lie to her. It's hard to find a woman from a small family who stands out.
But it's not for nothing, Ning'er is not an example. He couldn't imagine how Ning'er could grow like this. Beauty and bearing are extraordinary. It was once his pride.
"It's hard to say. The daughter is not separated from the father and the An family. It's that it's extraordinary. Dad didn't let Anya enter the palace before, because he didn't want to be involved with the royal family. Besides, my father also said that the clan has not sent women to the palace for many years. Now it has suddenly changed, and there must be a reason. Say what the situation is uncertain and exchange news. It's not that simple. Moreover, the target is the fourth prince, Li Kang. β
An Ning doesn't know much about King Kang, but he doesn't know a lot. Some of the news was heard from Rong Yuan. marrying Cheng Meijiao to Li Kang has to be said to be for her sake. It seems that it has also been researched. To study the probe must take time. Therefore, it is said that marrying Cheng Meijiao is a temporary decision. An Ning will not believe it.
What are the princes like, they should know in their hearts. Li Kang is higher than the others both in appearance and inside. That kind of bookish atmosphere is the type that many girls like. An Min is one of them.
"Prince Kang is not visible, and the mountain is not leaky. Some time ago, it was becoming more and more sharp, but now it is silent again. An Zhengchen couldn't calm down at the moment.
It came too suddenly. He couldn't calm down. On the contrary, it is the daughter's comprehensive analysis.
Li Kang is the most competitive prince except for the eldest prince. Ann should have taken a fancy to this. Is it impossible to have other thoughts?
The doubts in An Zhengchen's heart had taken root at this time. What should I do about this?
Even if he was suspicious, it was impossible for him to act against the old ancestor. The old ancestor can be said to represent the opinion of the An family.
"Dad, what are you going to do?" An Ning could see her father's hesitation.
"I can only drag it out. The emperor should have a candidate there. When the time comes, it will only be too late. "An Zhengchen has no other way. Procrastination is also reluctant. At that time, there will be no dissatisfaction from the ancestors. However, it doesn't matter if you get scolded.
An Ning shook her head. After thinking about it, he said, "Dad, I can't drag it out." If the father can trust his daughter, how about leaving this matter to his daughter?"
"Ning'er has a good way?" An Zhengchen asked.
An Ningxin said that there is no good way, but it should work. "Dad, my daughter is going to do this------"
After An Ning finished speaking, An Zhengchen's eyes lit up. It's still a smart daughter!
Taylor.
"What are you talking about, say it again?" Old Ancestor Cheng's voice was sharp and wanted to penetrate the roof. Things are going to go wrong!?
The mother-in-law who replied was frightened. "The old ancestor was angry. What the minion said is absolutely true. The third prince took a fancy to Miss Cheng. He is going to the palace to ask for a decree to marry! The son of another minister is also going to ask for a decree, and his name is Liang Fei. It's a bastard!"
Cheng's anger is not light. She never thought this would happen. The people she sent out clearly said that King Kang would take the concubine to the bookstore today. just let Cheng Meijiao show her face. With Meijiao's appearance and talent, with a little reason, he can talk. In this way, a lot of detours are saved. Hou Ye may not be able to refer to it. The reason is that he is not enthusiastic about the family's decision to enter the palace. The other is that they don't think it through. Hou Ye was only afraid that his heart would be uncomfortable. The matter did not pass him. It's too late to regret it now. You can only talk as round as possible.
They all ignored that An Zhengchen was not the Hou Ye who obeyed the orders of the family back then. The days of decadence are long gone. It's not the same today.
It doesn't matter, though. For An Zhengchen, she is confident that she can control it. The accumulation of respect and coercion over the years. It's not something that An Zhengchen can refute casually.
The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't hold her breath. But he tried his best to endure it. I didn't think that the third prince Rui Wang Ye was actually there! And that Liang Fei! The one who had an incident with Anya a few days ago! Things happened so coincidentally!
"Go and get your girl back!" the woman came back to report the news. It happened too suddenly. She knew that she had to tell her ancestors quickly.
"Ancestor, what happened? The emperor ordered Miss Cheng to enter the palace, and the Hou Ye was also recruited into the palace. Look at this -----" It was Luo Xinlan who entered the door. With the support of the maid, the body showed inconvenience. The look of anxiety leaked from his face.
"Zhengchen daughter-in-law, don't worry, Meijiao's child is in some trouble. Alas, I would have known that I wouldn't have let them out. Although the old ancestor was anxious to jump up, he tried his best to remain calm in front of Luo Xinlan.
"Don't worry, your body matters. Are the six girls back?" the old ancestor asked with concern.
"No, the maid reported that she went to Linlang Pavilion, and the ancestor also knew that Ning'er grew up in the countryside. Since childhood, I have had an older brother who has depended on each other. Lin Lang Pavilion was her brother's property. It's the New Year, she went over to take a look. Luo Xinlan said. Yan Dongliang has been to the Hou Mansion, and she likes that child very much. It's almost the same as being a biological child, it's a motherless child. Ning'er was so small that he could only survive if he protected him. The relationship between the brother and sister is naturally good. The child is sensible and polite. Therefore, she did not stop her daughter from going to see him. I often send something to the past, although the child lacks nothing now, but it represents her heart.
Knowing that his father had married another wife. It's not that simple at home. She should be more concerned.
"It's about moving around a lot. You go back and rest, it's not a big deal. I'll know when Hou Ye comes back. "The old ancestor obviously didn't want to say more.
Luo Xinlan thought that she was afraid that she would be worried, and her heart warmed. After a few more words, he went back to the Furong Temple.
"When did the sixth girl separate from your girl?" the old ancestor asked.
"I walked down the street for a while. I met someone I knew and happened to be looking for the sixth girl. The sixth girl was a little embarrassed at that time, and it was not good to leave immediately. It was the eighth girl who said that she and the tenth girl would accompany Miss Cheng, and said that the sixth girl was not as familiar with the capital as they were even if they followed. Or the sixth girl grew up in the village, and she doesn't know how to read or anything like that. When you get to the bookstore, you will get bored. The sixth girl didn't quarrel with the eighth girl. only told the tenth girl to take care of Miss Cheng, and then went to Linlang Pavilion with an acquaintance, saying that she happened to visit Yan Gongzi. The mother-in-law said truthfully.
Old ancestor Cheng gritted his teeth. "This girl who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures!"
The mother-in-law was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, and she didn't know who the ancestor was scolding. (To be continued.) )
