Chapter 140: Zhou Tao

Although I am still a little worried, I am afraid that Mu Hibiscus will be deceived, but fortunately, Mu Hibiscus has been a subordinate in the Earl of Zhongyong Mansion for ten years, and has never made any mistakes, and he is very liked by the main mother. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Zhou Tao sat for a while, he saw Mu Hibiscus coming out of it with Princess Changping.

Zhou Tao respectfully stepped forward to greet Princess Changping: "Mother-in-law." ”

"Oh, here you are, sit down. "Princess Changping has been lukewarm to Zhou Tao since Dezhao cried to her that Zhou Tao is not good, as long as she doesn't care much about Zhou Tao, this kind of attitude, people can't say anything about her.

"Yes. Zhou Tao knew that Princess Changping didn't like him, and he didn't care, so he only turned his head to look at the hibiscus on the side, and said excitedly: "This is the hibiscus girl, right?"

Mu Hibiscus glanced at Zhou Tao, who was excited but still did not hide his handsome demeanor, and nodded: "I am." ”

No wonder Zhou Tao was named the first beautiful man in the capital when he was young, although he is now in his thirties, he is still as handsome as a big star, and fortunately he is used to seeing big stars in modern times, and he has a little self-control, otherwise, I am afraid that he will be like those palace maids in this hall, looking at Zhou Tao's eyes with red hearts, because he is so handsome.

Of course, if you think about it, he may not be a good thing, and Hibiscus will not feel close to him because he is good-looking.

Zhou Tao was so excited that his eyes were red, and he said, "I'm your father......! Daddy has been thinking about you all these years, and now he knows that you are still alive, and this thorn in his heart has finally been removed. ”

Although it was a little uncomfortable for Mu Hibiscus to call a stranger his father, and although this man behaved very well, he thought of the words of Princess Changping and his previous observations, and knew that the other party was mostly acting, and when he thought that the other party was acting, he had to call the other party's father, and he couldn't accept it, but he also knew that Zhou Tao performed a loving father very well, and if she didn't perform the filial daughter well, it was estimated that if she spread it, she would say that she was not excited at all when she saw her biological father.

So he immediately lowered his head, saluted Zhou Tao, pretended to choke up, and said, "Father!"

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting, since you act, then I will accompany you to act, see when you stop acting, she really can't call her father, just call a distant written term "father".

Zhou Tao naturally didn't know that Mu Hibiscus was acting, after all, Mu Hibiscus was just a fifteen-year-old girl, how much scheming she could, so she naturally thought that she was moved by herself, looking at her like this, she couldn't help but feel satisfied, thinking that since she was moved, she would go back and look at Ding Dangxiang, who was poor in Zhou's mansion, and then talk about the difficulties in the house, and let her come to Changping Wangfu to ask for money for Zhou's use, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Over the years, the king and wife of Changping County have looked very good to themselves on the surface and have no blame, but they have never given a penny to the Zhou Mansion.

Changping Wangfu can not give money to the Zhou Mansion, after all, I have never heard of the ex-father-in-law who will be scolded if he does not give money to his ex-son-in-law, but as a son-in-law with a very good reputation, he has to give gifts as usual for three festivals and two birthdays every year, and he can't give it too shabby, otherwise if it spreads, people with ulterior motives will think that he is selling his reputation and character.

In this way, it's okay, the Changping royal mansion doesn't give him money to use, he has to post the money to the palace, although the money for the gift is from the dowry of the county lord of Dezhao that year, and the money spent is not his money at all, but people's psychology is sometimes like this, the desire is difficult to fill, Zhou Tao feels that since the dowry of the county lord of Dezhao is given to the Zhou family, it is the Zhou family's things, that is, his money, and then from this money to the Changping palace to spend money, naturally he feels that he is the money to the palace, which makes him unhappy.

So over the years, not only the prince and his wife of Changping County feel that they have been pitted by him as a hypocrite, but Zhou Tao himself, but also feel that he is burdened by his reputation, and he can't reach out to the Qianyue family to ask for money like those villains, if he is a villain, the family is living a tight life, so he can directly ask Changping Wangfu for money, then he can also live a rich life like these people in Changping Wangfu, every time he sees them living a life of fine clothes and food, and then thinks about his own family's tight life, Zhou Tao feels very uncomfortable. - He didn't think about it, just his family's unrestrained expenses, coupled with the bottomless pit of Concubine Zhou in the palace, not to mention a Changping palace for their whole family, that is, ten, it is estimated that they will not be able to live a rich life, and they will still be picky in their hands.

Because the Changping Royal Mansion has been in and out of him, which makes Zhou Tao quite dissatisfied, and feels that the Changping Royal Mansion is sorry that he has not renewed his deep affection for their daughter for so many years, but he directly asked the Changping Royal Mansion for money, and it does not match his painting style and personality, and he can't do it, so he can only rely on the fact that he has a good relationship with the Changping Royal Mansion by the outside people, and he has to be a little filial, and just such a little benefit, he naturally feels dissatisfied.

Now it's okay, Hibiscus is back, let her ask for it then, then it's no problem, after all, the Zhou Mansion is so poor, didn't the prince and his wife of Changping County say that they pamper their granddaughter? Then, it's not appropriate for the son-in-law to ask them for money, and it's always appropriate for the granddaughter to ask them for money, so it's not good not to give it, right? I believe that Hibiscus doesn't dare not want it, after all, she is not engaged, and the marriage is still in her own hands, if you dare not listen to your own words, then it is not your business to marry a bad family in the future.

So unlike Aunt Bai, who was worried when she heard that Hibiscus was back, he wasn't worried at all, on the contrary, after hearing that Hibiscus didn't die at the beginning, he frowned a little, and after summing up the benefits that Hibiscus could get when he came back alive, he figured it out, thinking that it would be good to die, so her mother's dowry would be the Zhou family's, and no one would actually fight with the Zhou family - after all, he was the only one in the Zhou family who had a son, so the Zhou family's was his- But he didn't die, it's not bad that he has a hostage to deal with the Changping Palace, maybe he can use hibiscus to exceed her mother's dowry income that year.

If the king and his wife of Changping County had been giving money to the Zhou family all these years, he naturally didn't want Mu Hibiscus to live, so as not to have a dowry dispute, but since Dezhao died, he hadn't received a penny for all these years, so Mu Hibiscus was alive and asked for money through her palace, which would still be good for him.

It's not that he is so cold-blooded that he not only doesn't love children, but also bullies children like this, like several other children, even if he has average feelings, it is impossible to love children more than himself like some people, but he will not treat children very much, and now he only calculates hibiscus, and does not have the slightest appearance of being a father, there is a reason.

As soon as he thought that hibiscus was born by that woman who was high up, he didn't have a good impression of hibiscus, and if he didn't have a good feeling, he naturally had only calculations.

After performing the filial piety of father and daughter at this time, Zhou Tao said earnestly: "The family also misses you, especially your grandmother, who has been talking about you since she heard that you are alive, so you can go back after staying here for a few days and meet your grandmother." ”

He really hoped that Mu Hibiscus would go back as soon as possible, after all, if he had to stay in the Changping Palace, how could he get any benefits? He had heard that the Princess of Changping had already given her 10,000 taels of silver, and he couldn't say anything about it, and when Mu Hibiscus went back, he would cry and cry poor, so that she was embarrassed to refuse, and took it out and contributed it to the family for use -- in fact, it was for him, after all, he was not a saint like Zhou Dahai, and he was willing to be taken advantage of by others.

Zhou Tao took Mrs. Zhou to press down, if Mu Hibiscus dared not agree, it would be terrible to spread out, Princess Changping heard Zhou Tao say this, nervous, afraid that Mu Hibiscus would not deal with it properly: if she agreed, she was afraid that she would be bullied when she went back;

I was thinking about whether to speak out, lest Hibiscus wouldn't answer, and he would fall into Zhou Tao's trap.

As a result, I heard Mu Hibiscus say respectfully: "Yes, my father ......" When Princess Changping was worried and Zhou Tao was satisfied, he heard Mu Hibiscus continue: "But I may not be able to go back until my grandmother's health is better, these days, my grandmother heard that I am still alive, busy for me, very hard, and then the mood is up and down, the spirit is a little bad, I see that my grandmother is emaciated and haggard a lot, and I feel very uncomfortable, I want to accompany her until she is better." ”

Mu Hibiscus naturally didn't know that Zhou Tao was greedy and wanted to save face, so she wanted to get herself back sooner, so that she could find the Changping palace to ask for silver, she just didn't want to go to the troubled water of the Zhou family's pool, so she said this--if you know, it is estimated that it is disgusting, but it will be said like this-but it can be regarded as a crooked fight, which makes Zhou Tao's calculation shattered.

Princess Changping is old, these days to be busy with hibiscus is really hard, at least personally take a car to Zhoujia Village to pick up hibiscus, to Changping Princess is old enough to suffer, and heard that hibiscus is still alive, because of emotional excitement, it is indeed affected a lot, so looking at the spirit is really not good, in fact, the main thing is tired, wait for a few days to rest, the mood is calm, things are not big.

Princess Changping heard Mu Hibiscus mention herself, and couldn't help but secretly praise it.

Worried that his grandmother is sick, as a granddaughter who has just been found, she naturally wants to stay by her side, if the Zhou family ignores the grandmother of Mu Hibiscus who has just found the child and is sick and weak, they will force Mu Hibiscus to go back, that is, the Zhou family is not good, thinking of this, Princess Changping is not so weak, but also to pretend to be very weak, and said thoughtlessly: "It's all because I am not in good health, delaying the child, and please ask the family to be strange." ”

Zhou Tao saw that he had not achieved his goal, the smile on his face couldn't help but stiffen, and he smiled stiffly: "...... It's okay, it's okay, that's how it should be, then Jin'er will stay with the old lady for a few days, we are not in a hurry over there. ”

He didn't know if Hibiscus said this on purpose, or if he was really worried about Princess Changping's body, but he felt that Mu Hibiscus was a little girl, and she had never seen her before, so she should have no bad feelings towards him and would not go against him, so she should be really worried about Princess Changping's body.

Although he said this, Zhou Tao still made up his mind, and let his mother pretend to be sick when he went back, hmph, your grandmother is not in good health, you have to stay in the palace to accompany your grandmother, then your grandmother is sick, should you also accompany your grandmother?

Because he didn't achieve his goal, Zhou Tao was in a bad mood and didn't stay long, so he went back, preparing to go back and discuss with his family how to deal with this matter.

Just when Zhou Tao saw hibiscus in the Changping Palace, the news that Mrs. Tuesday's daughter who was said to have died at the scene was not dead, and had been recovered by the Changping Palace, quickly spread in the Earl's Mansion of Qing'an.

It stands to reason that she should be called Aunt Bai, not Niang, but only her mother has a son in the house, and others give birth to daughters no matter how they are born, and the Zhou family will definitely be their family in the future, so she naturally dares to call her mother, and others dare not say anything about her, after all, in the future, but she has to rely on her family to eat, what dare she say?

Aunt Bai's mind had stabilized at this time, thinking about what would happen even if Hibiscus came back? She was a crossing girl with the blessing of the house fighting system, and she was afraid of fighting natives who didn't have golden fingers? After all, when she was young, she had fought against the county lord of Dezhao who was about the same age as her, and now that she has decades of experience, can she still fight a fifteen-year-old girl? What are you kidding? So the smile returned to her face at the moment, and she said, "It's true." ”

"Huh?!...... Her maternal grandfather is the prince, and when he comes back in the future, won't he want to crush us?" This was the first thing Zhou Airu thought of when she heard that hibiscus would come back.

In the past, because only her mother had a son, she had always been the most beautiful person in the house, and everyone had to act according to her face, so she was used to it, and when she thought of being pressed by others in the future, she couldn't stand it, and she couldn't maintain the fairy appearance that she usually showed according to her mother's teaching.

It depends on what kind of performance people have, the best thing is to see what people are like when they encounter setbacks, because when people are going well, they can always behave very gracefully, which is also the reason why Zhou Airu has always been like a fairy in the world, but now she can't maintain it, because usually, it's not her true face, it's just that her mother said that men are cheap, the more cold she behaves, the more she can arouse others' desire to conquer, she thinks it makes sense, in order to attract nobles, she put it out, in fact, her nature, I'm afraid that it is not better than the original Wednesday Niang and now Thursday Niang Zhou Xinru who was killed by Aunt Bai, and it is also quite arrogant, and because she has the support of her favored mother and the two brothers who can inherit the Zhou family, she is more arrogant than Zhou Xinru, because she is more confident, and she feels that she is just turning the world upside down, and others can't do anything to her.

Aunt Bai couldn't help but smile when she saw her daughter so anxious, and said: "She is fifteen years old, and it is estimated that she will get married in a short time when she comes back, and she can't hold you down for a few days. ”
