"Xie's mother is concerned that her son wants to participate in this year's children's exam, so she is a little anxious, is it her son's." Chu Lingxuan smiled gently, there was a little shyness in his smile, but his eyes were full of confidence.

"Ling Xuan is self-motivated, which is very good." Zhao's face was satisfied. But there was a sneer in his heart, the children of the scholar clan went to participate in the scientific examination? Was this Chu Lingxuan overdone by the gentleman at home? If he really goes, no matter whether he is on the list or not, he will definitely become an outlier among the scholars, and he will be recognized as a person who violates the rules of the scholars, and the scholars will reject him. And it is impossible for the Han clan to accept a competitor from the scholar clan.

In the future, even if Chu Lingxuan can really be an official, there will be no allies.

As for becoming a pure minister and taking refuge in the emperor? That's impossible, the emperor doesn't believe that people from the scholar clan will really help him, even if Chu Lingxuan becomes the emperor's sword in the future, once he is useless, there will definitely be only a dead end in the end.

Once again, he made a mark of "no worries" on this eldest son, and Zhao looked at the concubine who had changed a lot.

"Mother is well." Chu Minlan saluted a little stiffly, she had only recently learned the rules of etiquette, although she was very attentive and did not make any mistakes, but she could not be as elegant and natural as Chu Shulan.

"Minlan, I heard that something happened to you, don't be afraid, Minlan, you are the noble daughter of the Chu family, just learn the etiquette and rules again, even after becoming a monk, the Chu family will be your backer."

Thinking of the things mentioned in the letter, Zhao looked at this concubine without a trace, and sure enough, he changed a lot, beckoned Chu Minlan to come to his side, Zhao took off the red jade bracelet on his wrist and put it on Chu Minlan's hand, "You are about to get married, you can't be so plain." ”

It's not filial piety, who does this girl want to respond to? Does it show that she treats her concubine harshly? Zhao was very unhappy in his heart, but his face was a standard motherly expression.

Chu Minlan was a little stunned, didn't she say that her mother-in-law would do her best to suppress her children? Why is this grandmother in front of her completely opposite? Killing? No, she encouraged her eldest son to participate in the imperial examination, and gave her concubine such a precious red jade bracelet, with such a cordial attitude, she didn't look like the villain of her mother in the novel at all.

Until she left, Chu Minlan still didn't see any bad things about this mother-in-law, she told herself to definitely learn the rules, emphasizing the importance of rules and etiquette, it didn't seem like digging a pit for herself at all, could it be that the ancient mother-in-law should be like this? Chu Minlan thought that in some novels, the mother-in-law is not all vicious villains, and she will also raise her children, especially the concubines, who can win over the relationship if they marry.

After sending the children out of the house, Zhao wrote a kind smile on his face, and rubbed Chu Lingfeng, who suddenly pounced on him and hugged his dress, "The letter said that you chose "Meditation Technique", how did you raise it?" ”

As the head mother of the Chu family, of course, the Zhao family will also know some secrets that only the head of the family will know. It was a more brilliant road, but there were very few people in the history of the Chu family who could walk on this path, and if her son could have that opportunity, she wouldn't mind risking giving birth at an advanced age to have another son.

"It feels very comfortable." Chu Lingfeng thought for a moment and replied very seriously, he tried very hard to stand up for his son-in-law, but those eyes still showed the expectation of eager praise.

Zhao's expression suddenly became softer, and he reached out and rubbed Chu Lingfeng's little head, but still admonished: "Even so, you have to stick to that wind." Don't be lazy. ”

"Feng'er knows." Chu Lingfeng nodded very hard.

"Let's go back to studying." After letting Chu Lingfeng leave, the Zhao family turned to the daughter who was most like him on weekdays, "What's going on with Chu Minlan's girl?" And how did your second cousin Zhao Shou get involved? She looked at her daughter snuggled in her arms with some complexity, "You have been lukewarm to him since you were a child, but you didn't mention the dissolution of the marriage contract, and now it's like this, what do you think?" ”

This daughter was taught by her, and she put her most trusted maid by her side, so she only knew that it was Chu Shulan's means when she heard the accident.

"Mother, the second cousin is not a good match for Shu Lan." Snuggled in her mother's arms, Chu Shulan was very relieved, since Chu Minlan fell into the water and lost her memory. Her heartstrings tightened, and she wanted to make up for what she had lost.

"Since you think so, then the marriage contract between you will be over, anyway, you are only fifteen years old, and the noble daughter of our scholar clan is completely late to see each other now, and when you are eighteen years old, your mother will let you marry in style." The Zhao family didn't ask any more, and decided on his own, "When your father goes to court, I will discuss with him, and let the Zhao family propose marriage in a few days, and it would be better to marry Chu Minlan's girl as soon as possible." ”

"But mother, I'm not married yet, isn't it bad to let her get married?" The young and the young are orderly, Chu Shulan is unwilling to discredit the family because of a Chu Minlan, what happened in the previous life made her fully realize that her mother's family is her most powerful backer, as long as the family does not fall, no matter who she marries, she can stand up and speak.

"You are a concubine, she is a concubine, you are different." Zhao smiled, the scholars care about the rules and etiquette, but there is a tacit understanding between the families, and the concubines cannot be treated harshly, but that's all, the concubines are the focus of cultivation, and the marriage between the families can only refer to the marriage between the children of the family, especially the eldest daughter is the candidate for many family women. And the Zhao family was not happy that her eldest daughter would marry the second son of the Zhao family, there used to be a father's marriage contract, but now that the marriage contract has been dissolved, she has to plan well for her daughter.

Chu Shulan was stunned for a moment, and then a little suddenly, as if, they are different, whether it is in the eyes of the family or in the eyes of her parents, she and Chu Minlan have the difference between heaven and earth, the difference between the descendants and the concubine is not something that can be made up by one person's "love" and "favoritism", it is the iron law of the family for thousands of years.

"It turned out to be my magic barrier." Chu Shulan muttered to herself, tears sliding down involuntarily, for her own stupidity in her previous life, and then she looked at Zhao, "Mother, add me another brother." ”

"You kid talk about everything." Zhao blushed a little, but thinking of his son's cultivation of the "Meditation Technique", he also felt that he should think about it.

At this moment, a maid ran in in a panic, and before she even had time to salute, she shouted loudly: "Oh no, madam, eldest miss, the second young master suddenly fainted." ”
