Zhao Jie, the son of the former Jin king, is now only awarded the title of auxiliary general. He and Zhao Mo's father, Zhao Shuo, were both sons-in-law of the Wang family, and each married a daughter of the Wang family, and they were both expected to win the crown prince, but they all failed.

It sounds like they are suffering from the same disease, and they are both relatively depressed at the moment, and they are likely to huddle together for warmth.

Ordinary people would think so, but Qin Hanzhen didn't have such thoughts, but felt that it was very strange for the two of them to get together. Zhao Hao and Zhao Shuo were both contenders for the throne of the imperial heir supported by the Wang family, and it was precisely because of the former that the Wang family chose the latter as the object of support. As far as Zhao Hao was concerned, the Wang family may have turned his back on him, but Zhao Shuo took his place, so did he really not have the slightest dissatisfaction and resentment in his mind? Just from the fact that he ended his confinement and left the Zongren Mansion, he could see what kind of attitude he had towards the Wang family and Zhao Shuo? But now he has actually made friends with Zhao Shuo! Isn't it strange that Zhao Shuo is still willing to bring his whole family to pay New Year's greetings to him?

Speaking of which, Qin Hanzhen has rarely heard of Zhao Hao now, and has only heard some gossip piecemeal, as if he and his wife have no children so far, and it is estimated that his health is really bad.

He was He's concubine before his death, and he was also the biological father of Sister Zhang'er, who was drugged by He's and lost his fertility for many years and has never had children. After Ho's death, he tried to find a doctor, but with little success. It is rumored that the medicine He gave him was too powerful, and he had not taken the antidote for too many years, so it could not be cured. It is very likely that Zhao Jie will not have children in this life, if you really want to calculate, Sister Zhang will probably be his only flesh and blood, right? Unfortunately, with such a biological mother on the stall, Zhao Jie will definitely be angry, otherwise he will not be driven away with Sister Zhang, and the He family will not die well. It is rumored that she was deliberately burned alive by Zhao Jie in order to retaliate for her drugging.

No matter how He died, Zhao Hao has been down for several years anyway, and it seems that there is no hope of turning over. He and his wife, Wang Sangu and Grandma, have no children and no daughters, and they are holding the rank of an auxiliary general, and they receive some money every year, which is not difficult to make ends meet, and don't think about being rich and rich. Aunt Wang's grandmother now has no relatives to rely on, she was originally a temperamental person, and she has been pitifully honest in the past few years. She was forcibly affected by her husband, but the Wang family married her to Zhao Jie, and she was also going for fame, fortune and power. She had enjoyed the scenery at that time, and now she can only endure the desolation and pain after the scenery.

Such a Zhao Shuo is in a situation that is several times more difficult than Zhao Shuo. It would not be surprising if he took the initiative to hug Zhao Shuo's thigh in order to live a better life, after all, although Zhao Shuo also failed to compete for the position of imperial heir, he still has a real title of prince and son, and a son who has been crowned the king of the county and won the favor of the saint, how can he be a hundred times stronger than Zhao Shuo himself. But what did Zhao Shuo like about Zhao Shuo again? Why did he get along with this cousin?

Qin Hanzhen was puzzled, so he could only ask Zhao Mo again and again: "Is your father really friendly with the prince of the former Jin Dynasty?" Or did he just visit him in the New Year out of courtesy?"

Zhao Mo shook his head: "The two of them really come and go." Uncle Tsui went to my father's more often, but my father also went to Uncle Tsuki's—oh, Uncle Tsuki, my father asked me to call him the son of the former Jin Dynasty. and Mrs. Xiao Wang, who also corresponded often with her third sister. She is sick now, and when she rarely goes out, her third sister comes to visit her from time to time, and brings her her favorite rouge gouache and silk satin. Zhao Mo paused, "Sometimes the two sisters will join forces to give Aunt Lan some hardships, but it's just a small fight." Because of this, Aunt Lan has not been able to do everything smoothly in the past few years, and even the power in the family has not been successfully touched. ”

Qin Hanzhen heard him talk about Aunt Lan, and couldn't help but spit out: "This Aunt Lan is really a character, your father knew that she bought his subordinates and was embarrassed by Lan Fusheng, but he was able to let her go, and he loved her as before." What's so attractive about her?"

It's really unscientific. Although she hasn't inquired much about the affairs of the Liao Wangzi's inner house in recent years, and there are no channels to inquire about, when they came back from Jiangnan, they had already exposed the truth that Lan Xue had colluded with Lan Fusheng and bribed many of Zhao Shuo's subordinates for personal gain. At that time, the person sent by Zhao Shuo was his henchman Zhen Zhong, and he escorted Chang'er, the little guy who Lan Xue had bought, back to the capital, and there were all the human and material evidence, but Zhao Shuo didn't even dispose of Lan Xue on the spot?

Could it be that Zhao Shuo and this Lan Xue still can't really fall in love?

Zhao Mo smiled and said, "I don't know how much charm she can have, but my father is not the only one who loves her." Although Madame is sick and has long fallen out of favor, she has an older sister who makes her a military advisor, and she still grows. She somehow got a Peugeot woman, opened my father's face, and put it in the house, and I heard that my father was quite fond of her. Aunt Lan is now in my father's backyard, and although she is somewhat decent, she doesn't dare to say that she is the first person below the main room. She is blessed by her son, only because my father likes the third brother, and the new favorite has no heirs yet, she can get more light. My father likes to take the junior with him everywhere, and Aunt Lan, the biological mother, can follow with a cheeky face. If that new favorite can give birth to a smarter and more clever son for my father, this favor will probably not be kept. ”

Qin Hanzhen pouted and said, "It's ridiculous enough to let her keep some of her favor so far." Is your father really not angry at what she did to Lan Fusheng?"

Zhao Mo said: "I thought it was because Aunt Lan was clever and cleared up her relationship with Lan Fusheng that she would win my father's trust and keep her favor." But now that I have returned to the capital and had a few more contacts with my father, I realized that this is not the case. That day, Lan Xue defended that Lan Fusheng was actually her long-lost brother, but when they recognized each other, Lan Xue had already become her father's concubine, so she didn't dare to tell the truth without permission, for fear that it would damage her father's trust in Lan Fusheng. The collusion between them is actually just to give Lan Xue a solid favor, and it does not involve anything else. It was because his father listened to her that he didn't deal with her, and even Lan Fusheng, who heard that he was also arranged to be a small steward, in charge of some of his father's properties, and his situation was much better than before. ”

He sighed and shook his head: "Actually, I still think that this statement has too many flaws and is not credible. But my father is dizzy, just to pamper that woman, what can I say as a son? But I don't go to her, with me in the way, what can I do with the little three? Now that she and my father's new favorite are going toe-for-tat, I don't have time to deal with me for the time being, so I don't have to worry too much. It's a big deal for her to go, if she has a way to let her father pass the Liao Wangfu over my eldest son in the future and pass it to her son, it is also her ability. I still have the title of county king on my body, but I don't have to live by the name of that son. ”

Qin Hanzhen narrowed his eyes: "It sounds like your father's back house is also very lively." To be honest, Lan Xue has a problem, but she can coax your father, Xiao Wang's family has obviously fallen out of favor again, but your father's back house has not been one-sided, but it is a bit evenly matched, I am afraid that the third aunt Wang will contribute a lot. With your father's character, he was able to allow this eldest sister-in-law to dictate his housework and help his wife embarrass his beloved concubine, and not only did he not get angry, but he also got along with his brother-in-law. Why does this sound like a dream to me? What the hell did your father think?"

Zhao Mo sighed: "If only I could know what he thinks." But when I asked him, he wouldn't say, what can I do?"

Qin Hanzhen thought sideways: "Generally speaking...... Either they are the same people who have fallen to the end of the world and huddle together for warmth, or two people who have failed in the past are unwilling to accept their fate, so they join forces to discuss some new conspiracy, right?"

"Huddle ......" Zhao Mo had to admit that this statement was quite appropriate, and he didn't know how Qin Hanzhen came up with it. He found that from time to time she would say something he did not understand, but some of the metaphors did not seem to be anything at first hearing, but when he pondered it carefully, he found it more and more interesting. He had known her for a long time, and now he was completely accustomed to some strange words from her, and he could guess the general meaning without Qin Hanzhen having to explain more.

Zhao Mo said to Qin Hanzhen: "With my father and Uncle Hao's current ability, they are in one place, they are weak, and they can't make it to the climate, I'm not afraid that they will cause something." It's just that the lady and her third sister are getting better and better now, and they often associate with other sisters who have married out, so I am worried that those who have married the daughters of the Wang family will ask these daughters of the Wang family to instigate a few words, and there will be trouble in the court. Although I am a pure self-purifier, I am always my father's son, and if I am affected, I will also have to suffer. ”

Qin Hanzhen sighed when he heard this: "When will your father be honest and stop? He was disgusted by the emperor and the crown prince because he was greedy for power, fame and fortune, and now he still doesn't learn to be obedient? What is he tossing? He doesn't have to do anything, and now he has a palace for him to inherit." What else is he lacking?"

Zhao Mo sighed: "He is actually worried that he may not be able to inherit the Liao Wangfu smoothly in the future." Although the two uncles were rejected by the emperor, the princess refused to sit still, and the prince has always favored the youngest son of the stepfamily. My father originally wanted to take the lead in the name of the prince to take part of the power of the Liao Palace, but who knew that he went to Liaodong several times, but he failed to do it, but asked the princess to calculate more than once, and could only return to the capital to be a rich idler. My father suffered so many losses, and he and his two uncles were already incompatible. In order to keep his glory and wealth in the future, he will not let the two uncles rob him of his throne, so he must think more about ideas, make some useful contacts, and then ask my son to say good things for him in the palace. It would be even better if there was another competent in-law. ”

Qin Hanzhen frowned. This is the second time Zhao Mo has mentioned Zhao Shuo's intention to manipulate his marriage today. Why does she always feel panicked?

She couldn't help but say to Zhao Mo: "Ling Zun is just afraid that it won't be so easy to manipulate you, right? Now that the emperor and the crown prince have a good impression of you, why don't you go and ask them for a favor?"

Zhao Mo asked her instead: "What grace can I ask for? If the emperor and the crown prince know my father's plan, I am afraid that they will strike first and find a suitable wife for me first, right? No matter who decides on my marriage, as long as they decide not the person I want to marry, who is the master, what is the difference?"

Qin Han couldn't help but be stunned.
