Is there a problem with the prince of Shu? This seems to have become an unresolved mystery.

The secret spy department needs time to interrogate the hundred or so Beirong secret spies, and then integrate and sort out everyone's confessions, select useful information from them, and at the same time step up the pursuit of the three secret spies who escaped.

The emperor and the imperial court have just solved the issue of the ownership of Liaodong, and it will take at least a year or two to sort out the people and things in that land, and then integrate the Liaodong army, strengthen the combat strength, increase vigilance, and guard against the possible invasion of the Beirong people.

The newly sealed Yiyang Junwang family was still on the way south, and Zhao, who stayed in Beijing, was rarely honest and recuperated in the palace. Originally, during the period when he was arrested in the prison of the Zongren Mansion, the daughter of the Wang family, who had been pretending to be transparent, reappeared, and went to visit the patient with a haggard, thin and beautiful image, explaining that she was in a hurry to get sick after getting the news, and she could only keep asking people to inquire about the news outside.

It's just that after this incident, even if Zhao still has love for his fiancée, he can't help but have doubts about the real strength of the Wang family now At his most critical moment, the princess in the palace actually did not intercede for her future nephew and son-in-law, either ignoring her niece's future after marriage, or being powerless. Can such a Wang family really help him fight for the position of the eldest son of the county king? Zhao once again regretted this marriage, but unfortunately it was too late.

The eldest granddaughter of the Wang family may also be aware of this, in order to live a better life after marriage, she has to drag the "sick body" through the house from time to time, take care of her disabled fiancé, sometimes even if people don't come, she has to stew a soup, make a snack or something, and please Zhao from time to time. Zhao is not unsettled, but his enthusiasm for her is not as good as when he was in love.

Zhao Mo also occasionally visits the house. He actually knew that Zhao didn't want to see him, if it wasn't for the sake of doing superficial work in front of outsiders and saving himself from being criticized, he wouldn't have caused trouble for himself. Even if he is visiting the hospital, he rarely stays in front of Zhao for a long time. Zhao is not like Zhao Yan, he can still be coaxed by him, he has always relied on his identity as an uncle, and he has no good words and good face when they meet. He just went in and greeted him from afar, said a few polite words, and called the chief manager outside to inquire about his condition. Anyway, Zhao couldn't get out of bed, even if he yelled and scolded loudly in the house, he could pretend that he didn't hear it.

Zhao Mo has done enough superficial work, every time he goes to the queen mother, the emperor and the prince, or the elders of other clans, he can always tell how the second uncle Zhao's condition is, how his injuries are, and even what medicine is used in the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, he can tell a little truth, which shows that he is hearted. No one can find fault with him, but can only say good things about him. As for whether he actually visited his uncle attentively, who knows? Zhao and the chief manager could not leave the house and shouted everywhere. As for the eldest granddaughter of the Wang family, even if she knew, could she still speak ill of Zhao Mo all over the capital? She wasn't stupid! Some time ago, she gave Zhao Mo a heavy gift from Xie Media, and now she naturally wants to maintain friendly relations with each other. Regardless of whether she is friend or foe with this nephew after marriage, she always has to do a good job on the surface.

In the world, not everyone is like Zhao, who is impatient to do anything to hide his skills, but he still thinks he is very smart.

Of course, in the world, except for Zhao, there are actually no such people.

For example, Zhao Shuo, he felt that it was meaningless for his eldest son to go to the palace of Yiyang County to do this kind of superficial work. It's not that he feels sorry for his son being angry and scolded, but he feels that Zhao has no value in making people do superficial work: "The prince was demoted because he was convicted, Zhao was originally innocent, but he was also punished, and now he has broken his leg! Their family has been tossing in Beijing for a few months, and they have already lost their holy family, so there is no need to deal with them." Always stay with them, let outsiders misunderstand that you get along with them, maybe it will provoke the emperor's disgust, why bother? They have never been kind to our father and son, we ignore Zhao, and outsiders will not think that we are at fault. Why bother?"

Zhao Shuo not only didn't want his son to go, but also refused to let his son go to visit him occasionally to make suggestions for outsiders to see.

Zhao Mo was very helpless about this. He actually understood that Zhao Shuo didn't really feel that there was no need to do superficial work, but because he knew that he was angered by the emperor and had lost the title of the prince's son, and he was afraid that he would have no hope of fighting for the position of the eldest son of the county king in the future, and there was no son behind him who could inherit his title, so he was a little broken. If Zhao Shuo feels that he still has a chance to fight for inheritance, not to mention that he only occasionally goes to visit a patient and act in a play, he is afraid that he will go every day, and he is willing. Anyway, he can learn from his son and not deal with Zhao Duo, as long as outsiders feel that he is filial and friendly.

But that's not how the accounts are counted. Zhao Shuo acted with utilitarianism, and was always willing to do it when it was profitable, once he found that one thing could not bring him much benefit, he would be lazy. If he is a person who knows how to persevere and is patient, he will not turn against the Wang family when he still needs to rely on the Wang family, and quarrel with the little Wang family and spoil his concubine when he needs to use the matter of not renouncing his wife to win a reputation for kindness. Now, he has just found out that he has made a big mistake and lost the position of the son of the world, and it is when he should show more, make meritorious contributions, and strive for the emperor and the prince to change their opinion of himself, but he put on a disheartened style, and he doesn't even care if the outside world will criticize him for being too cold and ruthless to his father and brothers, and he refuses to even do superficial work.

What should Zhao Mo do after all? After all, he is just a son, and it is impossible to force his biological father to do what he says. He has saved his father's life, saved his father's reputation, and helped his father take revenge on the husband and wife of the king of Yiyang County, and asked himself if he had fulfilled his filial piety. Since Zhao Shuo had no intention of fighting for anything, there was no need for him to talk too much.

Zhao Shuo is honestly a clan idler, maybe it will be better for everyone.

Zhao Mo stayed in his new home with peace of mind, decorated the courtyard, contacted his fiancée a lot, and curried favor with Qin Bai and Wu Shaoying. Because the weather was so cold, the renovation work of the county king's mansion had been stopped, and only some work was done that did not need to be grounded. But the work on the bridge was completed and put into use. Zhao Mo now wants to go to the county king's mansion across the street to inspect the progress of the project, and he walks from the street bridge, which is not only low-key and unobtrusive, but also can avoid the cold, wind and snow, which is very convenient.

He also has to worry about the problem of his little brother Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi has already been enlightened, and he has studied his homework very well, and at his age, he can almost consider officially enrolling. The children of the clan have a sect in the capital, and the close branch clan can also study with the princes and grandchildren in the upper study room of the palace. It's just that there are no princes and grandsons of the right age in the palace now, and the only thing Zhao Qi can go to is Zongxue. Although the news that his biological mother was a Beirong woman had not spread, several royal palaces in the clan that had a close relationship with the palace had heard about it. If Zhao Qiruo entered the school like this, he didn't know if he would be criticized and discriminated against.

This kid has a clear understanding of his situation recently, and his mood has not been too high, and he is obviously much more cautious in front of Zhao Mo. Zhao Mo was a little unbearable, so he didn't mention his entry into the sect for the time being, and only hired an old Xiucai who lived nearby, had solid knowledge and patience, and temporarily taught him some basic knowledge of three hundred thousand, and then painted red. Wait for the end of next year's examination, and then find a person who has fallen to the top to make Zhao Qi a formal West seat.

Qin Hanzhen often felt that Zhao Mo was quite patient with this little brother. Even if Lan Xue was hateful, he didn't get angry with him, and he felt that Zhao Mo was kind and kind. No matter how scheming he is for others, in her heart, he is always a good person who is pure and caring.

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but praise Zhao Mo to his face, and Zhao Mo was often said to be red-faced. Although he was happy in his heart, he didn't know why, he always felt very shy. Seeing this, Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but talk about it in front of his grandfather and grandmother, making fun of Zhao Mo.

Qin Bai said: "This is a good thing. In a situation like Guanglu, if he was not shrewd, he would have asked people to calculate their lives. But he is gentle and benevolent by nature, so he will not go down the wrong path and drill the horns of the bull. Such a grandson-in-law can make me feel at ease to entrust my granddaughter's life to him. ”

Niu Shi echoed approvingly: "Yes, such a child is a good child! If you are too kind, you will look stupid, how can people rest assured? But people are too shrewd, and they are worried that they will treat you badly." Like Guanglu is just right, there is nowhere to find a more suitable grandson-in-law than him!"

Qin Hanzhen was embarrassed to say it first, and glanced at Zhao Mo, both of them couldn't help but blush.

And so the days passed peacefully. Calm returned to the capital. Before the arrival of the Laba Festival, Qin Ping, who traveled north by sea from the distant Lingnan and rushed home to celebrate the New Year, finally arrived in the capital.

Qin Bai's family was overjoyed. Hearing that Qin Ping had arrived at the dock and was loading his luggage, he was going to his home soon, and the Niu family was busy and had to send someone to pick him up. The luggage is still secondary, just call a personal guard to escort it back. The most important thing is that my son gets home early.

Even Xiao Feng hurriedly sent someone to inform her husband Qin An that he was coming home. She also took the initiative to help her mother-in-law Niu prepare for the reception banquet, and she had to send letters to the long room and the second room.

Qin Hanzhen happily took Feng'er to his father's yard again, re-examined the house that was cleaned every day, replaced it with new flowers and bonsai for decoration, and asked people to prepare hot tea and snacks, and also boil hot water, so that as soon as Qin Ping arrived home, he would be able to take a hot bath. When she came out of her father's yard, Zhao Mo also rushed to hear the news. The two happily returned to the front yard together, and waited for Qin Ping's return with Qin Bai and Niu's husband and wife.

At this moment, Xiao Feng, who was commanding in the kitchen, took a letter from Mama Lu's hand: "What is this? Mama is saying that this is a letter from Datong?"

Mama Lu nodded: "The steward of the small grange over there reported the news to the shopkeeper Zhang, it was a letter written by Brother Zhang Jiahun, saying that Aunt Jin was gone and had tuberculosis. It was the twenty-first of last month, and it has been half a month since today. The people on the grange did the aftermath and buried them beside the village. ”

Xiao Feng was silent for a while, and as she expected, she put the letter away: "I know, I will tell the fifth master and the sixth girl, and Mama won't tell others anymore." There is a happy event in the family today, why bother to spoil the fun?"

Mama Lu answered, turned around and went about her own business. Xiao Feng didn't mention this matter anymore, and continued to command the people in the kitchen, busy for tonight's reception banquet. 2k reading web
