Chapter 154: Calculation

Originally, Mrs. Zou also wanted to fight for her granddaughter to be the wife of the son, but Shen Ze would have a convulsive brain, and let the stable son not do it, and asked himself to go to the frontier. Don't look at the Shen family's current limelight, there is a precedent for the Cui family, how can Mrs. Zou, who is old and sophisticated, only look at the scenery in front of him. Although Shen Ze recovered Yunzhou, Zhenyuguan was still in the hands of the enemy, and if it was not taken back, this war would not end for a day. Of course, Mrs. Zou didn't want this kind of grandson-in-law with an uncertain future, so he warned him many times and told his daughter-in-law to take care of his granddaughter, and be sure to dispel her careful thoughts that were not in line with the interests of the family.

However, regardless of whether Zou Mingqing listened to her grandfather's words and corrected her mistakes, her reputation has been ruined, and all the people who come to her door to propose marriage are crooked melons and cracked dates. has a good family background and is a descendant, either a continuation or a reputation worse than her, a gentleman who is not high or low; A person with a good family background can be regarded as passable, and he is a concubine; A talent and a descendant, needless to say, the family is in the middle. With Zou Mingqing's talented woman's heart, how can she look at these people? Picking and choosing until now, the family affairs have not been decided, and she will be seventeen after the New Year, and she is about to delay becoming an old girl, and the family is anxious.

Recently, Mrs. Zou finally decided on the choice of marrying relatives, taking the best family backgrounds from those who had proposed relatives before, and ordering her to choose one of them to marry.

There are three candidates he drew out, one is a sick seedling who has long been judged by the doctor to live to the age of a weak crown, one is a romantic man who indulges in the place of wind and moon all the year round, and the other is in good health and clean and self-conscious, but he lost his face because of smallpox when he was a child.

Zou Mingqing didn't want to marry anyone, but this time Mrs. Zou's attitude was extremely resolute. The deadline set by her grandfather was getting closer and closer, and she happened to hear the news of the peach forest blooming in Dajue Temple, so she couldn't wait to run out to breathe.

Shen Hao lost interest when she heard it, not that she didn't feel worthy of others, but that she knew the past of her love for her brother-in-law. Shen Pei and he had already reached the age when they should discuss marriage, and before Xiao Fei's family wanted to get rid of Shen Ze, he was unwilling to set him a powerful Yue family and found an excuse to delay him, so naturally it was inevitable to delay the two concubines. The brothers also have a lot of eyes, in the year when their parents left home to go to Yunzhou for treatment, they quietly inquired about the situation of the women of the right age in Beijing, and listed the most suitable candidates for themselves in their hearts, and waited for their mother to return to propose marriage for them. However, the world is unpredictable, Xiao Fei's bizarre death disrupted their plans, and the girl in the original photo could not wait for three years for the two of them, the brothers were not easy to say, and secretly emptied the list of fiancΓ©es in their hearts, and only waited three years later to make plans.

Shen Hao didn't want a woman with Shen Ze in his heart, but Shen Pei had other plans. With Shen Bin's attitude towards them, he can also think with his toes that the family affairs set for them in the future will definitely not be very good, even if Shen Bin also does not like the eldest sister-in-law, he can't tolerate their brother getting help from the Yue family, and he is qualified to compete with Shen Ze.

Zou Mingqing's appearance was like a ray of light, which made Shen Pei, who was full of unwillingness in his heart, see hope. As a man, his younger brother couldn't accept it, and he was also haunted. But he knew more clearly that if it weren't for Miss Zou Family's flaw, no matter how interested he was in her, it would only be delusional, unless he could surpass Shen Ze and inherit his father's title, otherwise Zou Mingqing, the eldest lady of a top noble family, would not be able to turn on his head.

"Second brother, you won't be carried away by beauty and want to pick up broken shoes that your eldest brother can't look down on, right?" After the incense came out, Shen Hao mysteriously pulled him aside, and pouted disdainfully in the direction of the mountain behind the temple, who he was referring to at a glance.

Knowing brother is like brother, no matter how deep Shen Pei's thoughtful eyes are hidden, Shen Hao can see through it at a glance.

Shen Pei didn't intend to hide it from his younger brother, he frowned and scolded dissatisfiedly: "What broken shoes! Miss Jinjiao's precious daughter, don't say it so ugly, be careful to offend people by spreading it! ”

He didn't admit it personally, but this defense has declared his attitude. Shen Hao's eyes widened in disbelief: "Brother, have you been hit by something unclean!" Why are you so confused to fall in love with this kind of woman! ”

"Nonsense! This is a temple, and there is nothing unclean. Shen Pei glared at him angrily, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Didn't we say that we would avenge our mother?" Think about it, in the current situation, how easy is it for us to bring down that woman? This Miss Zou family, whose family background is a hundred times higher than hers, and she has a holiday with her, and she doesn't need me to come forward to encourage her to marry back, she will naturally find a way to deal with that woman. In this regard, I think she is suitable to be my wife. ”

Shen Hao didn't believe that he had made such a big sacrifice just to take revenge, so he glared at him suspiciously: "Second brother, you want to marry her in order to use the power of Mrs. Zou to attack the lord, right?" ”

After his younger brother explained his true purpose, Shen Pei coughed a little unnaturally. Thinking that this was his own brother, and fighting with Shen Ze in the future would be indispensable for his help, Shen Pei no longer concealed it, and nodded his head in acknowledgement. "Yes and what? If we don't attack the lord, that woman will suppress us for the rest of our lives as the duchess of the country in the future, and before we find a chance to take revenge, she will be swept out of the house first. ”

Shen Hao knew that he was reasonable, but he was still a little difficult to accept emotionally, and couldn't help muttering: "A manly man, even if you want to fight, you should rely on yourself, what kind of ability is it to rely on women." ”

"Okay, you can do it! If you have the ability, you can fight, as long as you can beat Shen Ze, my brother will support you wholeheartedly without saying a word! Shen Pei was angry, threw down a sentence and brushed his sleeves away.

Shen Hao hurriedly caught up and apologized with a smiling face, "Brother, can't I say something wrong?" If you want to do it, do it, my brother is willing to make amends for your work of dogs and horses. ”

These words successfully kept Shen Pei's footsteps, and he stopped and turned to face his younger brother, "That's what you said?" ”

Shen Hao nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, "Of course, I will never regret it!" ”

"Okay, come over with your ears ......"

Shen Hao leaned into his younger brother's ear and was just halfway through his words when a loud voice came, interrupting his whispering.

"Amitabha, the distinguished guest arrived, the old man missed the welcome, and asked the donor to forgive the sin if he was neglected."

The brothers followed the prestige, and saw the abbot in his robe walking slowly towards them not far away. The two clasped their hands together and politely replied, and Shen Pei replied loudly: "We took the liberty to come here without notifying your temple in advance, and the abbot is not surprised." ”

After the greetings, the host sang the Buddha's horn and got down to business: "I heard that the two of you want to do seven for the Lingtang today, and the old man has arranged for a hundred monks to chant in the main hall, please come with me." ”

Jing'an custom, when lighting the lantern for the deceased relatives, there must be hundreds of monks reciting Buddhist scriptures together. This is their original intention to come today, the brothers did not dare to delay, temporarily pressed the plan in their hearts, and followed the abbot to the main hall of the temple.
