Chapter 56 Decisions
Tan Ling's incident of making trouble in the Qin Tea House, although it only happened in a corner of the capital, there was no secret in Beijing, not to mention that Tan Ling also reported to his home, and the matter was quickly spread.
The Marquis of Zhenbei learned about this that night, and after hearing the whole thing, he called Tan and General Zhong to the study together. The tone sternly told the Tan clan that he would not agree to Tan Ling's entry into the mansion, and Tan Ling was not suitable for the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Tan Ling has not yet entered the mansion, he has made such an ugly thing, his attitude is arrogant, and he has no respect for Ran Ning, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion really can't tolerate such a woman, so let the Tan family quickly give up this idea and stop fighting this idea.
In the past, whether it was the Marquis of Zhenbei or General Zhong, although they were all opposed to these things, they were more inclined to persuade the Tan family to give up on their own. And this time, Zhenbei Hou directly informed the Tan family that he would never let Tan Ling enter the mansion, and his tone was completely unopposed.
The Tan family also knows that this time the trouble is indeed too ugly, I am afraid that in a few days, everyone in Beijing will know that the Tan family has an uneducated girl who shouts.
In fact, from the time he came back to the present, Tan has also been reflecting. Although she is stubborn about some things, she is not blindfolded and blind to excessive things. She couldn't agree with Tan Ling's approach today, and her attitude also made her very unhappy, which couldn't help but make her carefully consider whether Tan Ling was really suitable for Zhenbei Hou Mansion and Zhong Su. She wanted Zhong Su to marry Tan Ling, but in fact, she was holding a state of compensation and guilt, hoping to make up for Tan Ling's regret and sadness of losing her father early, so there were some things, as long as she didn't touch her bottom line, she wouldn't care. But the matter of the Qin Tea Pavilion did overwhelm her bottom line and made her have to ponder. And after thinking about it, Tan found that Tan Ling was actually not suitable for Zhenbei Hou Mansion, because she had been blinded by obsession with the clarity in her heart.
The family background of the woman who doesn't need to enter the door in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is good, but at least she must be a calm, fair, and intelligent woman. The Zhenbei Hou Mansion is high and powerful, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the hands of others, so everyone must be more cautious, can Tan Ling do it? Obviously, the answer is no. Tan Ling was raised too delicate by her family, not only could she not be at least virtuous and low-key, but she also couldn't resist responsibility. Just like today's incident, I didn't find out anything, just to bring down Ran Ning, I acted recklessly, how much trouble will I cause in the future? And if there is no trouble in the Hou Mansion of Zhenbei, if it happens, it must be a big deal, Tan Ling not only can't help, maybe it will become the weakness or burden of the Hou Mansion of Zhenbei, which is the most terrible.
At the beginning, the Marquis of Zhenbei and his wife agreed to her to enter the door, not because she valued her family background, and she didn't have much knowledge, but because she was steady, patient, and low-key and unassuming.
The more she thought about it, the more Tan felt that Tan Ling was not suitable to enter the house, because she was too superficial and superficial. Fortunately, Tan Ling is not very old now, and it is not difficult to find someone, so the idea of letting Tan Ling enter the mansion should be dispelled, which is the best choice for Zhenbei Hou Mansion. After all, the second half of her life is also tied to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and if the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is good, she can be good.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." Tan nodded without any rebuttal, "My daughter-in-law has also thought about it, Tan Ling is indeed not suitable for the Hou Mansion, so it is better to plan otherwise." ”
Regarding Tan's attitude, Zhenbei Hou and General Zhong were a little surprised, originally they thought that they would be able to make sense if they had to talk for a while.
Zhenbei Hou reacted first, nodded and said, "It's good if you can understand, just find a good family for Tan Ling in the future." ”
"Yes. I will personally go to Tan's house tomorrow to explain the matter to my sister-in-law, so that she can show Tan Lingxiang people. The decision to give up, and the Tan family was no longer entangled. In the past, Tan Ling seemed to her to be a very cute girl, coquettish and caring. Now she is so out of proportion, in fact, she is also partly responsible. Now that she has decided, she will try her best to help find a good family with the right door, don't let Tan Ling down.
"Good. I don't have anything to worry about if you do it yourself. Zhenbei Hou nodded and said, "Ran Ning is a good boy, if you give her more guidance in the future, she will not let you down." ”
"Yes." Tan responded. Compared with Tan Ling, the Tan family also had to admit that Ran Ning was indeed more suitable for the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
"Alright, you guys go back first." Zhenbei Hou didn't keep them either, and he believed that the Tan family would handle the rest of the matter.
"Yes, my son is leaving." General Zhong said.
"The daughter-in-law retired." Tan saluted and exited the study with General Zhong.
Out of the study, General Zhong took the initiative to hold Tan's hand.
Tan Shi was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of blush appeared on his face. She couldn't remember how long it had been since her father-in-law had held her hand like this, it seemed that it had started since she insisted on letting Tan Ling in the door, and it seemed to have started since she became cold to Zhong Su...... And today, it seems that the old harmony between husband and wife has returned, just as the previous disputes and grievances never happened.
There is no woman who doesn't want to be loved by her husband, and neither does Tan's, and at this time she suddenly woke up to the fact that she didn't have to be so estranged from her father-in-law at all, and many things were actually things she didn't understand, so she took a detour.
"I'll accompany you back to Tan Mansion tomorrow?" General Chung asked for her opinion.
Tan smiled and shook his head, and said, "No need, you go and get busy with yours, I'll just go over by myself." I told my sister-in-law about Tan Ling, and it was inconvenient for you to do so. She understands that her father-in-law wants to help her town, but now there are only women left in the Tan Mansion, and it is just a matter of going together during the New Year's Festival, and it is more convenient for her to go by herself on weekdays.
"That's good." General Zhong didn't force it, but said, "You finish talking and wait for me in Yueran Building, and we'll come back after lunch." Yueran Building is a place they have always liked to go, the first time the two had dinner together was there, and they would go there from time to time after marriage. Later, it wasn't until Tan Ling's affair that I didn't go again.
"Okay." Tan smiled and nodded. Tan's age is not too old, but now he has put down his worries and re-reconciled with General Zhong, with more smiles on his face, and the whole person still looks charming.
After breakfast the next day, Tan went to Tan's house and told Mrs. Tan about her decision.
After hearing this, Mrs. Tan's face was very ugly, but she didn't dare to offend the Tan family, after all, his mother's nephew was now unreliable, so he could only rely on the Tan family, and he would never dare to offend. I can only persuade and discuss, to see if there is room for turnaround. But Tan's attitude was very resolute, and Mrs. Tan had no choice but to shed tears to win sympathy. Tan didn't listen to her this time, put the generous gift he brought in front of Mrs. Tan, and didn't say anything more, then left.
As soon as the Tan family left, Mrs. Tan didn't bother to care about these generous gifts, and hurriedly went to Tan Ling's room.
After listening to Mrs. Tan's narration, Tan Ling's eyes turned red, and she grabbed the things in the house and smashed them on the ground, screaming as she smashed: "I said that I would be promoted as a concubine, but now I want to regret it?!" Who am I, Tan Ling? How can she be humiliated like this?! ”
Mrs. Tan wanted to step forward to persuade her, but seeing that Tan Ling's whole person seemed to have fallen into madness, she really didn't dare to persuade her.
"Auntie, this liar! ruined my good years, and said don't want me! Why?! ”
"Ran Ning, that slut! If she hadn't intervened, I would have been my cousin's main room! ”
"Hehe, they're all liars! It's all liars! Swindler! Damn liars! ”
"No, I can't just give up! I love my cousin so much, I must be his wife! ”
……
Tan Ling became more and more crazy the more she smashed, and the maids were so frightened that they ran out of the room, and they originally wanted to persuade her, but she threw a wooden box over and smashed her forehead......
Mrs. Tan was also frightened by Tan Ling, but she didn't dare to step forward, so she could only hide outside the door with the maids.
When the things in the house were smashed and could not be thrown away, Tan Ling stopped, his eyes were red but he stared at one place without any focus, and muttered to himself, "It would be good if there was no Ran Ning, yes, if there was no Ran Ning, my cousin would definitely marry me, and then I would be Mrs. Zhong." Hehe, Ran Ning, why don't you die, you'd better die immediately, I'm going to let you die...... Ha ha...... Hahaha......"
What started as a low laugh turned into a burst of high and high laughter, and finally turned into a maniacal laughter. Mrs. Tan was horrified when she heard this, but she didn't dare to say anything, for fear that her daughter would smash her face.
The maids were also frightened by Tan Ling's crazy behavior, and whispered things like "the girl is crazy......
The Tan Mansion fell into chaos because of Tan Ling.
Ran Ning and Zhong Su didn't know about these things, and the two didn't pay attention to the recent rumors about Tan Ling in Beijing.
Since the farce in the Qin Tea Pavilion, they have been extremely busy, Zhong Su was busy talking to Chu Chuan about the follow-up cooperation, this matter has been informed to Zhenbei Hou and General Zhong, the two sighed Ran Ning's intelligence At the same time, they also felt that Zhong Su did not feel weak in this regard, but compared with Ran Ning, it was really worse. Fortunately, Ran Ning is Zhong Su's daughter-in-law, and she will always help Zhong Su, which also reassures the two elders a lot. And Ran Ning was also busy with the anniversary sacrifice of the deceased Mrs. Hou, that is, Zhong Su's grandmother, and had no time to ask Zhong Su about it.
Ran Ning has not handled the sacrifice, although the steward knows the process and the supplies needed, but the specific decision is still up to Ran Ning. And Zhong Su has been busy recently, and Ran Ning is not good to disturb him, so after a preliminary agreement with the steward, he went to Tan's place after finding dinner for a day.
Although the Tan family has now won the attention of Zhenbei Hou and the heart of General Zhong, the right to be a steward has not been taken back. She figured it out, so she wasn't in a hurry, she wanted to use this time to make up for the relationship between husband and wife, and everything else could be put aside.
"Mother." Ran Ning entered the door and saluted the Tan family.
"Hmm. Su'er didn't come with you? Tan asked. Normally, at this time, Zhong Su will come over again.
"Xianggong received a letter and had something to deal with urgently, so I came over by myself." Ran Ning said.
"Hmm." Tan nodded, she still didn't know how to get along with Ran Ning, after all, she hadn't gotten along well before, and she was used to it, and she didn't have many smiles at Ran Ning.
"Mother, my daughter-in-law came here today because I want to discuss something with you."
"Sit down." Tan nodded.
After Ran Ning sat down, she talked about her grandmother's sacrifice, and briefly said the part she had preliminarily agreed with the steward, and then said: "My daughter-in-law has never handled the sacrifice, and I am afraid that there will be omissions, so I have come to ask my mother to decide." ”
Tan didn't make it difficult for her, took a sip of tea, and said: "In previous years, I would go to Yunqing Nunnery outside the city to stay for a few days, send scriptures and pray for blessings, and at the same time make sacrifices, I also pray for peace for the house." Since you are a granddaughter-in-law, go with me, and the sacrifice can be added to last year's achievement. ”
No matter what the considerations were, the Tan family was willing to take her there, and Ran Ning was relieved, and naturally she was willing.
"Yes, daughter-in-law, let the steward prepare." Ran Ning responded.
"Hmm. Master Hou, you remember to go and reply. Tan reminded.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." Ran Ning responded.
"Alright, you can go back. Tell Su'er that if you are busy, you don't have to come over. Tan waved his hand.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law is retiring." Ran Ning stood up and saluted, then stepped back.
Tan's attitude towards her was still a little cold, but it was much better than before, although Ran Ning didn't know what the reason was, she was relieved in her heart. As long as she does her duty, I believe that the future will get better and better.
