757, temptation

Song Lanzhi finally got married, and on the day she returned to the door, it snowed all over the winter, falling on the plum blossom branches full of buds, and the old lady smiled and said that Ruixue was a good sign, and Zhan also smiled and said yes, and turned his back to the old lady to look at Zhou's eyes with cold and disgust.

Zhou, who was "cured", didn't seem to see it, but said with a smile, "Grandmother's birthday is coming, since there is such a good omen, it is time to put on a feast, lively and lively!" ”

Song Lanzhi's marriage was extremely grand, everyone praised it, so that the old lady's face felt more glorious, and the original pimple of the Zhan family in her heart was also scattered, and when she returned to the door, she saw that her grandson-in-law Liu Jia's eldest son was really dignified, handsome and very handsome, and she was more satisfied, and the last bit of anger towards the Zhan family was also dispersed, and she felt that the family should be harmonious and lively. It's time to be lively! ”

Because it was proposed by the Zhou family, and remembering that it was the Zhou family who was under the knee when the Zhan family was busy with the marriage of his granddaughter, and he was filial to himself in every way, he handed over the matter of hosting the birthday banquet to the Zhou family, "The fourth family is also tired these days, it's time to rest, and let Brother Qi's daughter-in-law take care of my birthday banquet!" ”

Zhou was overjoyed, ignored Zhan's black face, and thanked the old lady, "Grandmother Meng will not give up, granddaughter-in-law will definitely hold this birthday banquet beautifully!" "With the old lady's errand in hand, the Zhan family didn't dare to attack her openly, and the talisman sent to the door, how could the Zhou family not want it!

Zhan's face was slightly stagnant, the old lady arranged an errand for the Zhou family, and with an upright reason, it was not good for him to punish her with an excuse, and the Zhan family, who had only reconciled with the old lady, did not dare to neglect the old lady's affairs, his mind changed slightly, and he said to the Zhou family with a smile, "The old lady gave you such an important matter to look up to you, you don't want to live up to the old lady's high expectations!" ”

Zhou lowered his eyebrows and responded, and Zhan said again, "I heard that the fourth young grandmother helped Mrs. Changxiang Hou to take care of the housekeeper before she got married, and such a banquet must be held a lot, if you don't understand, you might as well ask her!" ”

Without waiting for Zhou's answer, the old lady who didn't like Yao Keqing had already vetoed Zhan's suggestion, "Brother Qi's daughter-in-law has to ask if she can't make up her mind, it's my birthday banquet after all, and I can have a number in my heart!" ”

Zhan smiled, "It's best to ask your mother, and your daughter-in-law is afraid of disturbing her mother!" ”

Zhan's words clearly said that Zhou's was not as good as Yao Keqing, and he had the intention of sowing discord, but fortunately, Zhou already understood that he was indeed inferior to Yao Keqing, and he had no grudge in his heart, and he told Yao Keqing as a joke in private, "Mother still wants to use this kind of words to instigate me, but I don't know that I am no longer the only one she was like before!" ”

Before marrying, Zhou's was a well-known lady in Beijing, knowledgeable and courteous, gentle and filial, and could be called a model of beauty, and after marrying into the Song family, she never missed half a step, but the mother-in-law and the foolish husband finally wiped out all her enthusiasm for life, and then Yao Keqing entered the door and disposed of the old people around her husband without mercy, but in the end she did not leave any bad reputation, but on the contrary, she was comfortable and moisturized, and then she gradually understood that being a daughter-in-law does not have to be forbearing, she is also a person, She is a living person first, and then a daughter-in-law, and she is putting the cart before the horse!

"Sister-in-law, be careful! Although the old lady is in charge, the fourth aunt may not dare to do anything on the surface, but what means will she use to keep it behind her back! Yao Keqing reminded.

Zhan nodded, "Brother and sister, don't worry, I have prepared for this birthday banquet with both hands, even if my mother destroys the house, she can't reach me when I am outside!" ”

Yao Keqing was relieved, and Zhan couldn't help but ask, "What my brother and sister said last time, when do you have to wait?" ”

Yao Keqing smiled mysteriously, "When the old lady's birthday banquet is held, my sister-in-law is waiting to see the excitement!" ”

Zhan Shi was very curious, "What did my brother and sister prepare?" ”

Yao Keqing said, "Last time, the glass plate was only more than a thousand taels of silver, and the old lady punished the fourth aunt for counting the Buddha beans for more than a month, so if it is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, how should the old lady punish it?" ”

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!

Zhou was shocked and stumbled, "How can my mother steal such a large sum of silver in my grandmother's eyes?" And...... And after so many years, I have never heard of my grandmother losing such a valuable object? ”

"Never heard of it?" Yao Keqing reminded with a smile, "Sister-in-law, have you forgotten the two thousand taels of silver that the eldest aunt paid to the old lady?" ”

Zhou suddenly realized, but was speechless by Zhan's boldness! The Zhou family is also a family of poets and scholars, so they naturally know how valuable the real works of the painting saints are, and the Zhou family is so bold that they have already committed the crime of theft in seven ways, and it is possible for the old lady to divorce her in anger.

But since that painting is so valuable, Zhan will definitely not stay in his hands after he gets it, Yao Keqing wants to stab this painting in front of the old lady, he must spend a silver ticket to redeem the painting, such a large sum of silver, in order to bring down Zhan's, tired Yao Keqing is so expensive, Zhou is very unhappy, "So much money, how can I let you take it out, but I don't have so much money at the moment, I only have tens of thousands of taels of surplus silver in my hand, I gave it to you first, and I owe the rest to you slowly!" ”

As long as she can bring down the Zhan family, she is willing to spend as much as she wants!

Yao Keqing smiled, "Sister-in-law is relieved!" If you can't spend a share of my money, whoever sows the bitter fruit should swallow it! ”

After the panic, Zhou also understood, Yao Keqing himself would not come forward in this matter, otherwise, with Zhan's scheming, he was afraid that he would bite Yao Keqing back, Yao Keqing must have other calculations, so he was also relieved, "Brother and sister Lao are tired!" ”

In addition to being grateful, Zhou couldn't help but wonder why Yao Keqing was so active in bringing down Zhan, and his friendship with her was not deep enough for her to go to the soup for herself, so it was never to help her, so what was it for?

Zhou hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother and sister don't just help me, right?" ”

Yao Keqing replied honestly, "Yes! ”

Yao Keqing was so frank, Zhou was embarrassed to ask the reason again, and only secretly guessed in his heart that it was Zhan who offended Yao Keqing and offended her, otherwise Yao Keqing's generous temperament would not be so unrelenting and unwilling to let her go.

Thinking that everything the Zhan family did was to get the Guogong Mansion, if the Zhan family sought success, Song Ziqi, as her eldest son, was the one who benefited the most, and the Zhou family, as Song Ziqi's wife, also benefited, if the Zhou family knew that the Zhan family was planning this, then would she still unswervingly deal with the Zhan family?

Yao Keqing couldn't help but ask tentatively, "If everything the fourth aunt did was for the entire fourth room, would the sister-in-law still be willing to deal with her?" ”
