"Refused?" Zhao Mo looked at Ah Shou unexpectedly, "What does it mean to refuse?"

Ah Shou shook his head, lowered his voice and said, "Mingli seems to be saying that there is something at home and he can't be empty for the time being, but in fact, ...... I just don't want to marry the daughter of the family to the second master. The mother-in-law sent by the Chen family spoke vaguely, as if she was saying that her generation was wrong and inappropriate. ”

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows: "It's also a fact that the seniority is wrong." It doesn't make sense that my aunt made the original match, and my niece went to fill the house. It stands to reason that when the princess wrote to the Chen family before, she should have known it in her heart, right? Could it be that she really wants to ignore ethics?"

Ah Shou said: "The princess didn't think about it so much before, and she didn't inquire clearly how many daughters of the Chen family are still unmarried. Chen Liangdi does not have a suitable sister anymore, but the cousin is not without a sister. Although the backgrounds of those girls are a little worse, the princess wants to marry a wife for the second master, and even does not hesitate to let the second master marry the tablet of the fiancée in front of her. As long as the original match and the house filling are the daughters of the Chen family, there will be nothing else. When the position of the prince is in hand, can this grandmother who fills the house sit firmly in the position of Mrs. Shizi, doesn't it depend on the mood of the princess and the second master?"

Zhao Mo laughed and said: "This abacus is very good, but unfortunately the Chen family is not stupid." ”

However, the Chen family didn't even do superficial work, and they refused to come to see each other, which was too tough. If it was said that it was for the Liao Wangfu to break the contract in the past, seeing that Zhao Li had an accident, the Chen family could not provide help, so they refused to welcome Zhao Li's fiancée's tablet into the Liao Wangfu, causing the Chen family's youngest daughter's tablet to be enshrined for many years, and the incense was difficult, so the Chen family held a grudge and was unwilling to mention the marriage again, so they should have made it clear from the beginning. It doesn't make sense that the Liao Wangfu family has been in the capital for a few days, and they suddenly said no. It was most likely that the Chen family had not refused before, and perhaps agreed, but they had not yet decided on a specific candidate, and when the Liao Wang's family arrived in the capital, they suddenly changed their hexagrams.

But what could be the reason for their change of hexagram?

No matter how bad the actual saints of the Liao Wangfu are, and how unpopular they are in the capital, the Liao King is still the respect of the prince, and he holds the military and political power in his hands. Zhao Li has no future, and it is just a delusion to seek the position of the prince, but his identity is here, the prince and the concubine, or the close branch of the clan, even if the real magnates look down on him in their hearts, they still have to give some face on their faces, otherwise it will be bad for people to misunderstand that they despise the royal family. Although the Chen family has a Chen Liangdi, and there was also a grandson of the emperor, it is still just an ordinary small and medium-sized official eunuch. The emperor and grandson are gone, why does his family dare to make fun of the prince and his son with such a big face?

Zhao Mo frowned and asked Ah Shou: "Do you know what news is on the Chen family's side?Has there been an accident recently?Otherwise, it will be ...... for no reason." The princess will not bring her son from Liaodong to the capital first without the Chen family's consent, right?"

Ah Shou couldn't answer. He only let people stare at the Liao Wangfu before, where would he assign people to take care of the Chen family? The Chen family has never been the object of Zhao Mo's attention. He had to ask people to inquire again, but no result came out. Because the Chen family seems to be calm on the surface, and there have been no major changes recently, at most, a few female dependents have had a quarrel in private, and their husbands and sons have cold faces to each other and ignore each other outside, but this can only be regarded as a short period of time, and it is not a big deal. In the past ten years of the Chen family, several people have had some conflicts with each other, some big and some small, and the most serious one is going to split up, and finally Chen Liangdi spoke, hasn't the turmoil subsided?

Moreover, it was the palace people waiting beside Chen Liangdi in the East Palace, who had gone out of the palace to Chen's house several times in the past two months. According to the Chen family's statement, it was the old lady of the Chen family who was old and in poor health, Chen Liangdi was filial and worried about the old lady's health, so she repeatedly sent her henchmen back to her mother's house to visit, and sent some medicinal materials to replenish her body.

Everything was normal, nothing out of the ordinary.

Zhao Mo couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the Chen family's gourd, could it be that it was because he saw that the future of the Liao Wangfu was not good, and Zhao Li had a bad reputation and lost his future, so he was unwilling to sacrifice the daughter in the family? But they were reluctant to have a daughter in the family, and the seniority was not right, and there were not still girls in the side branches? What the Liao Wangfu wanted was only the name of the marriage with the Chen family, and it might not be too particular about the real origin of the daughter-in-law. If the Chen family negotiates with the Liao Wangfu, maybe the girls from the side branches will also accept it. Even if the step-concubine of the Liao King didn't agree, the Chen family wouldn't have any loss, right? Zhao Mo didn't believe that the Chen family, which had a very average reputation in the capital, would be a benevolent family that even a daughter from a side branch couldn't bear to sacrifice.

Zhao Mo couldn't think of an answer, but he didn't expect that it would be Zhao Yan who would solve his puzzles in the end.

Zhao Yan didn't know if he had been courted by Zhao Mo once, and because he had decency afterwards, his attitude towards this nephew was much kinder. Even if Zhao Mo is still indifferent to him, he only acts according to etiquette, upholding the duty of a nephew, and never getting close to him for half a point, he still looks at Zhao Mo differently. Knowing where Zhao Mo lives now, he came to the door within two days.

Zhao Yan is disabled and has difficulty walking, so he goes out in a carriage every time. When he turned to Zhao Mo's new house, he went in to ask for a cup of tea, and then talked about gossip, scolded his brother, complained about his parents, and maybe sarcastically mocked Zhao Shuo by the way. He saw that Zhao Mo was indifferent to what he said, as if he hadn't heard it, but he was happy, and then he was in a good mood and left with one or two snacks from Zhao Mo.

Zhao Mo's dim sum here is all fresh from the kitchen of Yongjiahou Mansion every day, all of which are his favorite flavors, and he was taken away before he finished his addiction, not to mention how depressed he was. Sometimes Zhao Yan took away his two favorite foods, and he couldn't help but lose his temper. Who knew that Zhao Yan was happy to see his angry appearance, and said: "This is like words." You and I are not close uncles and nephews!" made Zhao Mo cry and laugh.

Zhao Mo was cold and polite to Zhao Yan, but Zhao Yan was a lot closer to him, and sometimes he was willing to tell him about his family. The Chen family refused the request of the Liao Mansion to marry, and it was he who informed Zhao Mo of the inside story.

The Chen family has actually mentioned it a long time ago that the concubine is not suitable, the generation is not right, and the marriage has already been arranged, so if Zhao Li really wants to marry the daughter of the Chen family to fill the house, then he has to find it from the side branch. The step-concubine of King Liao was originally very dissatisfied, but for the sake of her son's future, she gritted her teeth and agreed, but she needed to see the candidate in advance.

Her thoughts are very clear: her son has been wronged to this part, so even if the first wife he officially married home has no family background except for the surname Chen, she must have a good appearance and good education, and her temperament must be docile and considerate enough, and it is best to have a more dowry, so that her son cannot suffer too much.

At that time, the Chen family should have found a suitable candidate from the side branch, beautiful, concubine, docile, educated, and the dowry was arranged by the family. But now that the Liao Wang's family has arrived in the capital, his family has suddenly changed the hexagram, only saying that the daughter-in-law is not the right generation, and it is simply to avoid the important and light, and the bull's head is not the horse's mouth. Who wants to marry the eldest granddaughter of the Chen family? Didn't they originally say that they would use the daughter of the side branch to fill the house? The step-concubine of the Liao King re-mentioned the matter of letting her son welcome the tablet of his fiancée into the door, but the Chen family did not even accept it, could it be that she really didn't want her daughter to enter the temple to receive incense? !

The step-concubine of the Liao King was furious, and despite the fact that her illness had not yet recovered, she was furious, scolded the Chen family for half the night, and then sent someone to inquire what was going on? Could it be that when did the Liao Wangfu provoke the Chen family? The Chen family suddenly changed its mind?!

Zhao Yan said to Zhao Mo disdainfully: "What kind of hexagram is changing? His family actually wants to scare and scare our palace, so that my mother concubine can give in and accept another candidate from his family." This time, the girl selected by his family is just a little old, fifteen or sixteen years old, which is also suitable, but she doesn't look very good, and I heard that she is still a little fat. Although she is also a concubine, a young daughter, so she is particularly pampered, but she is just an old talent who has not been ranked for thousands of years, and she relies on his wife's rich dowry. Her mother was the daughter of a rich landowner, and she was nicknamed Dominatrix. Her brother is a useless gentleman, all day long he only knows how to be idle, he is almost thirty years old and still a white body, the first two years ago he was helped by the clansmen to say marriage, and he reluctantly married a daughter-in-law, but he is the daughter of the butcher's family! Brother Mo, do you think about what kind of identity this girl is? The Chen family actually plans to marry her to Zhao Li? Isn't this a joke?! Zhao Li is the mud in the ground! That is also a little more noble than his family! If he really has no interest to marry such a family, I can't even recognize him as a brother!"

Zhao Mo said in surprise: "Why is the Chen family here? Could it be that there are no other good girls in the side branches?!"

Zhao Yan said: "Yes, there are, but there are only a few who have not been married yet." Originally, she was talking about a beautiful orphan girl, and I heard that she was raised in front of the old lady in the fifth room of his family, except that she had no parents, she was no worse than their serious granddaughter. If I hadn't inquired about this beforehand, my mother wouldn't have been able to rely on it before. Now it seems that this girl has a place to go in her future, so she can't marry Zhao Li, and she needs to choose another candidate. Except for the fat girl of the old showman, the rest of the people are all concubines, which is even more inappropriate. If my mother doesn't agree anyway, it is estimated that his family will have to record the concubine in the name of the mother-in-law. What kind of joke is this? The Chen family thinks we are easy to bully, but our father and mother have put up with it!"

Zhao Mo also felt ridiculous: "Chen Jia'an dares to do this? Even if his family is leaning on Chen Liangdi, Chen Liangdi is also old, and there is no emperor and grandson under his knees, and the Chen family does not have high-ranking officials and Houlu, how dare they despise the prince's mansion so much?!"

Zhao Yan sneered: "It's not all. When my mother mentioned that their daughter's tablet had entered the door, the people in his family did not seem to be as enthusiastic as before, but coldly, as if it were not uncommon. My mother's concubine was only popular, and when she sent someone out of the house, she sarcastically said a few words to the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law actually said, our palace is already a grasshopper after the autumn, why are you arrogant in the capital? Tell me, what are these words? Our palace is a grasshopper after the autumn? Then the Chen family has already been killed by grasshoppers!"

He was indignant: "If it weren't for Zhao Li, where would our palace be able to suffer such idleness?!"

He was still annoyed, but Zhao Mo fell into deep thought.

He felt that something was wrong. Chen...... Do you know something?
