With a slap swing out, the old lady Ren finally let out a little bit of the breath that was blocked in her heart after seeing Zong Zhengke. Without looking at the expressions of her daughter-in-law and granddaughters, she left the table angrily and went to the inner room.

Mrs. Ping's eyes turned red immediately when she was so embarrassed that she looked up, and when she looked up, she saw a sneering smile on her face. She felt ashamed and really ashamed, so she pretended not to see it, and forced a smile to let her daughters and nieces disperse.

The five girls below Zong Zhengyu were shocked by the change in Fang Cai, and Mrs. Liu San, who was smiling at the corner of her mouth, took away her daughters, Zong Zhengyu and Zong Zhengyue hugged the elbows of Mrs. Ping on both sides, and didn't dare to say anything, only silently helped her back to the room. Especially Zong Zhengyue, who also reacted that he was afraid that he was about to get into trouble, and he hung his head and didn't dare to say anything.

Zong Zhengci, who fell behind the mother and daughter, also lowered his head, not daring to let his mother-in-law and sister-in-law see the gloating look on his face. Although she is a concubine, she has also received a good education, and has always preferred books such as the story of the palace, so she knows the follow-up story of the Xu family's unfinished words-

In the thirty-fifth year of Jokhang Jiashan, the princess of Qin failed to compete for the throne, and fled to the boundary of Tianxing Kingdom under the protection of Emperor Yumin's concubine, and created a lineage of Yunhang Xiao family incognito. The golden letter of Emperor Yumin's concubine was indeed taken away by the princess of Qin, and later given by her to her young daughter - the aunt of the old lady Xiao who is now the highest-ranking in the Xiao family in Yunhang, the ancestor of the Xiao family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Mrs. Xiao who is still alive today.

And the three Buddha statues that were once displayed in the golden letter are very particular, implying that Emperor Jiashan had a deep meaning for the three most noble ladies in the queen and the palace at that time. The Queen Mother's past Buddha means that the old Queen Mother should completely delegate power; The future Buddha of the crown princess represents Emperor Jiashan's ardent expectations for the crown prince and his wife; And the present Buddha of Emperor Yu Min is undoubtedly a warning - the present world is fine, don't think more.

It's a pity that Imperial Concubine Wei Min is not reconciled, and her daughter Princess Qin is not inferior to the crown prince in terms of personality and talent and strategy. Since the Great Zhao allowed the empress to survive, why couldn't her daughter achieve an imperial cause?

But in the end, the princess of Qin was defeated. So nearly a hundred years after this incident, the empty golden letter that once held the golden statue of the living Buddha Shakyamuni became a dowry, and was brought into the Zongzheng family by Xiao Wenying, the eldest daughter of the fourth room of the Xiao family in Suzhou and Hangzhou. As for the Buddha statue, the princess of Qin was defeated and fled, and the concubine of Emperor Min smashed it with her own hands before she was given to die.

This significant treasure of the Jokhang Emperor's family can become Mrs. Xiao's dowry, and it is conceivable that she has a status in her mother's family. And the reason why she was killed was because she went with Zong Zhengxiu to congratulate her great-grandmother, Mrs. Xiao, on her seventy-second birthday.

Seventy-three, eighty-four, Hades did not invite himself to go. In the Jokhang Empire, the age of 73 and 84 of the old man was a huge threshold, so every time he was 72 and 83 years old, he would always celebrate his birthday.

During that time, Mrs. Xiao had already discovered that she was pregnant for another month, and the fetus was very unstable, so it took a lot of effort to reluctantly say that the father and son of Zongzheng and Zongzheng allowed her to go back to Suzhou and Hangzhou Mansion to congratulate her great-grandmother on her birthday. Unexpectedly, this departure became a farewell.

Jin Han is especially there, but Fang Soul is far away, and he also took away his most high-hoped, which is why Zong Zhengjin has cut off contact with the Su Hang Xiao clan since then.

Then, the good baby that Zong Zhengyue showed in front of Zong Zhengke, in the final analysis, is Zong Zhengke's thing! Walking out of the nunnery where the old lady Ren lived, I saw my grandfather standing under the corridor not far away with a blue face and looking at the heavy rain in a daze, and Zong Zhengci, who knew it, was in a better mood. It is good to read more, at least not to be stupid.

The moment Mrs. Ping saw her father-in-law, her face was panicked. Bringing her three daughters forward to say goodbye, she glanced at Zong Zhengjin's gloomy and terrifying expression with trepidation, and was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and held her breath.

Zong Zheng's eyebrows were full of fatigue, and he said vaguely in a low voice: "Keep things in order, and if you are missing, you will compensate for your own private house!" Otherwise......"

Mrs. Ping's body shook violently, and she was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground directly. It's not that she doesn't know that if outsiders learn that she and her mother-in-law dispose of her sister-in-law's dowry as if it were their own, it will make the Zongzheng family disgrace for generations, but those good things ...... Those are good things from the court of the Jokhang Empire!

"Daddy......" Mrs. Ping's eyes were hazy with tears, and she had to plead. You must know that a few exquisite pieces of jewelry in those dowries have been quietly brought to her mother's house for reward, which has earned her a lot of face. As for those few pieces of jewelry, I am afraid that you will have to go to the Zhenlong Pavilion in the capital to find the same craftsmanship, and each piece will cost a hundred taels of silver.

"Say half a word more, and I'll ask Lun'er to divorce you!" Zong Zhengjin didn't bother to look at this daughter-in-law, and he didn't regret it in his heart, he shouldn't have married Zong Zhenglun's cousin girl according to Mrs. Ren in the first place.

Mrs. Ping didn't dare to open her mouth anymore, seeing that Zong Zhengyue seemed to be about to speak, she was so anxious that she hurriedly grabbed her mouth, forced her two daughters to bow their heads and hurriedly retreated, her heart was burning, anxious and afraid. Zong Zhengci rolled his eyes a few times, silently made up his mind, and slowly followed.

Zong Zheng sighed and muttered, "The family is unfortunate! ”

Because it is not very convenient to be in Liulian, Zong Zhengjin took his son and grandson to set a table in the outer courtyard to eat, and only waited for Zong Zhengke to hold a lively and grand reception banquet when he returned home in the future.

Today, when he saw his granddaughter, who had been concerned for ten years, standing in front of him, his heart was sour and painful. It seems that the tragic Jia'er and daughter-in-law stood in front of him again, which made him almost cry on the spot.

Zong Zhengxiu's appearance is cool and his mother Mrs. Ling is handsome and extraordinary, and Mrs. Xiao is also a famous beauty in Suzhou and Hangzhou Mansion. Zong Zhengke's facial features combine the advantages of his parents, both like his father and his mother, which makes Zong Zhengke feel a lot.

In the outer courtyard, he didn't have much to eat, he just wanted to eat well quickly and ask his granddaughter about his granddaughter's situation in the past ten years, so the seats in the outer courtyard dispersed early. But he didn't expect that he would be able to hear such a good show.

Zong Zhengjin stood silently for a moment again, and then slowly walked into the nunnery where the old lady was placed. There are two small rooms inside and outside, and the place is really tight and narrow. There is only a set of tables and chairs outside, and there is only an ordinary elm bed inside, and there is a high coffee table on the bed.

This is not surprising, the rules of Qing Pure Liuli'an are originally strict, and they follow the path of "ascetic cultivation". Zong Zhengjin's residence in the outer courtyard is not as good as here. Seeing him come in, Mama Cui, who was about to remove the table and open the rolls of the slaves, hurriedly curtsied: "Old lady." ”

Zong Zheng waved his hand and said expressionlessly: "Take people outside." ”

Mama Cui knew that things were not good, but she didn't dare to say much. She has served Mrs. Ren for decades, and she knows the temper of Zong Zhengzhen - she is very hateful and wants to kill. She hurriedly entered the inner room and whispered in the ear of Mrs. Ren, who was sitting on the edge of the bed drinking tea: "You can say it well, don't quarrel with the old lady." ”

Old Lady Ren also heard the voice of the sect outside, and she was also terrified. She listened to Mama Cui's words, nodded again and again, and watched Mama Cui leave with Qiutang and Qiurong in a daze. She heard a creak outside, as if the door was closed, and she hurriedly stood up and went out.

At the door of the inner room, Zong Zhengjin followed, and the old lady Ren said with a smile: "The old lady is going to disperse?" The food is still delicious? I'll make you a Dongting spring to relieve your greasy. ”

"You sit down." Zong Zhengjin gently pushed the old lady away, pointed to the edge of the bed and whispered, "Let's talk well." ”

His attitude was so gentle, but the old lady Ren's mood became more and more worried, so she could only sit next to the bed, hanging her head and looking like she was at her disposal. Zong Zhengjin also sat down on the low stool on the other side of the coffee table, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly: "Since Brother Xiu'er went, I have no intention of taking care of the internal and external affairs of the family, and I have worked hard for you all these years. ”

The old lady Ren swallowed her saliva, shook her head and said, "What does the old lady say, it is the duty of the concubine to take care of the chores for you." ”

"Yes, it's your job, and you've done well in those years." Zong Zhengjin picked up the teapot and poured a cup of Lao Junmei for the old lady Ren that she was drinking just now. Slowly pushing the teacup to Mrs. Ren's hand, he continued, "But do you remember what I said to you when I handed you the feed. ”

Who remembers decades ago? Old Lady Ren laughed briefly, and couldn't remember what Zong Zheng had confessed. Zong Zhengjin looked directly at her and said in a deep voice: "It's not yours, you can't take it!" ”

Old Lady Ren's ears were booming, and she suddenly remembered that Zong Zhengjin had indeed said such things to her. Not just once, but many times.

One year after Mrs. Ling's death, Zong Zhengjin reluctantly married her as a stepfamily under the orders of his mother, Mrs. Kong. Mrs. Kong and her mother used to be best friends, so she was able to marry into the Zongzheng family to fill the house.

After only half a year of marriage, Zong Zhengjin went out of the office, and Mrs. Kong arranged for her to serve with her. Naturally, she was in charge of the feed. Zong Zheng carefully explained to her that what was not hers must not be taken.

She was very obedient at that time, and meticulously took care of family affairs according to Zong Zhengjin's instructions, and also helped Zong Zhengjin block some people who were in a hurry to give gifts. Zong Zhengjin gradually accepted her, and after a year of marriage, he married her.

After another five years, she finally gave birth to her son Zong Zhenglun. Zong Zheng has been promoted to an official and is even busier, so he is completely relieved that she will be in charge. Because she has done a good job over the years, and she cares for Zong Zhengxiu both in the open and in the dark, Zong Zhengjin finally relented and handed over the keys to the family's large and small warehouses, including the key to Mrs. Ling's dowry warehouse.

On the day when he handed over all the keys to her, Zong Zhengjin held her hands with a smile on his face, and said softly to her, It's not your thing, you can't take it!

She didn't take it, and even regarded Mrs. Ling's dowry as a scourge, and never asked to prove that she had no covetous heart. Zong Zhengjin was very satisfied with her, and the two of them finally really lived a life of husband and wife, having children, and living in harmony.
