Zong Zhengjin's mood is not good.

He was already preoccupied, and the night before, because of Venerable Su Hui's intentions, he repeatedly weighed the gains and losses in order to make the best decision for the Zongzheng family and the Zongzheng Ke. But no matter how you plan it, it seems that there are risks, and it is impossible to have the best of both worlds.

Coming to the banquet today, Zong Zheng sat in the seat of honor, and before he could recognize everyone completely, a handsome young man took the initiative to salute him. This young man has signed up for Xiao Pengju, a child of the Xiao family in Yunhang, who is ranked sixteenth in his generation, and he calls his grandfather affectionately to Zongzheng.

It's actually someone from Yunhang Xiao's family!

If it weren't for the inappropriate place, Zong Zhengjin would have changed his face a long time ago, and it would be possible to leave with his sleeves up. As soon as he saw the Xiao family, he inevitably thought of his beautiful son and daughter-in-law who had no bones, and his heart was immediately like a knife.

If Xiao Sixteen also had a pair of Danfeng eyes as conspicuous as Zong Zhengke, Zong Zhengjin would probably recognize him a long time ago. It's Xiao Sixteen's mother, but if you look carefully, you can still see the special aura of the Xiao family between his eyebrows.

This is the self-confidence and pride of a strong bloodline, Xiao Sixteen is amiable, and he still has a feeling of looking down on the top in his bones. Zong Zheng was so keen, he found that this Xiao Sixteen Young Master was even more disgusting than his father, Mr. Xiao Jiu.

Zong Zhengjin didn't know that Xiao Pengju was also bitter in his heart. He really didn't understand, since he came, why did his father still ask him to put on a fake affectionate attitude? What he wants to do here, if his in-laws and grandfather don't nod, can he do it?

Different from Zong Zhengjin's cold words, Zong Zhenglun is much closer to Xiao Pengju. He doesn't have the old father's inextricable knot, and he is affectionate with his cousins.

The Su Hang Xiao clan and the Yunhang Xiao clan are big families that have dominated the two mansions for nearly a hundred years, and they have almost run these two mansions into a country within a country, and they can be said to be princes without official titles. The officials of the two governments, Liang Xiao have the right to appoint, and they also listen to the imperial court and do not listen to the announcement.

And this year, the Jokhang Empress ascended the throne, and specially sent an envoy to Tianxingguo from thousands of miles away, and gave the title of Princess of Qin to Mrs. Xiao again. And so it goes. The momentum of Liang Xiao is getting more and more powerful in the Tianxing Kingdom, and it is close to the supreme glory of the Murong clan of the Tianxing Imperial Family.

Such in-laws have to be pushed out, and there has been no contact for nearly ten years, Zong Zhenglun muttered to Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Heping in private. The old man is so stubborn!

Now, Young Master Xiao took the initiative to get close and said all the good things to the old man with a smiling face, but the old man still didn't give people a good face, Zong Zhenglun was really worried. Liang Xiaoruo sent a message to Jingli. I'm afraid the old man's recovery will be yellow!

Therefore, Zong Zhengjin's mood was even worse, and he really didn't want to see his son stammering Xiao Sixteen in every way. Although he is sleek and sophisticated, he also has some insistences of his own. Let him bow his head to the Xiao family, forget about the past and then step on his in-laws, it will never work.

Moreover, Zong Zhengjin felt that Xiao Sixteen came to Yuchuan Mansion not only to congratulate the eldest princess of Qinghe on her birthday. Xiao Sixteen actually didn't mention Zong Zhengke at all, always giving Zong Zheng the feeling of wanting to cover up. Among them. There must be something!

With all kinds of complicated feelings, Zong Zheng reluctantly sat down and finished the luncheon. He wanted to go back to the house as soon as possible, and then closed the door to prevent this Xiao Sixteen from coming in, but he couldn't leave, Pei Yuma personally came over and invited him to have a teacup.

Something happened again! Zong Zheng looked at Pei Yuma, who was smiling, and directly saw the meaning of "good things are coming" on this person's face. After a moment of silence, he followed Pei Fuma to the outer study.

The special study room for the master of the horse is very good, even if there are books. It's mostly picture albums and stuff like that. It's the little guys standing next to him, all of them are clever and likable. Zong Zhengjin also saw Ah Chang's figure flickering outside the window, and seemed to salute him with a fist.

Only Zong Zheng and Pei Juma were there, and Zong Zheng sat down. Knit one's brows. Pei Juma saw it and wanted to ask, but his wife told him not to inquire into other people's housework at will, so he had to suppress his curiosity.

After a while, Lou Gongren helped the eldest princess to arrive. Zong Zhengjin was quite surprised, and hurriedly got up to salute the eldest princess. Pei Juma pressed Zong Zheng into the chair. smiled and said: "Okay, let's have a relationship, don't talk so much." ”

The eldest princess also said gently, "Lord Zongzheng, please take a seat." ”

Not only is there a problem, but it is also a big thing! Zong Zheng was careful, but still got up and bowed for half a salute before sitting down again.

The eldest princess and Pei Yuma sat in the first two seats, looked at each other, or the eldest princess smiled: "Lord Zongzheng doesn't need to be nervous, this palace is not going to marry you." ”

As soon as the words came out, Zong Zheng put down some worries, but he still didn't dare to relax, and said with a slight regret: "I can't form a family with you, it's because Weichen doesn't have this blessing." ”

"That'...... Is Lord Zongzheng willing to marry the Pei family? The eldest princess smiled, "When I see Sister Ke today, I really like it." It's a pity that Bengong doesn't have the blessing to let her be a granddaughter-in-law for Bengong. But Bengong really wants to hear Sister Ke call Bengong a grandmother, thinking about it, only by recognizing her as a godgranddaughter can she fulfill her wish. ”

Zong Zheng was slightly stunned, and said slowly: "This ...... How? The eldest princess has a noble status, and Sister Ke ......"

"How can you not do it? As soon as the palace saw her, she felt that she was in love, and Lord Zongzheng also knew that there were many grandchildren under the knees of the palace, and there was only one granddaughter in Nancheng. Nancheng and Sister Ke have a similar temperament, and now they are called sisters, isn't this destined for Sister Ke to call this palace a grandmother? The eldest princess seemed to know where Zong Zhengjin's concerns were, so she eased up and said, "Sister Ke'er saved Anzhi's life, and the palace is grateful." ”

The Zongzheng family has been scholarly for generations, and no one has yet married the royal nobles. Zong Zheng was afraid that this move would attract criticism to the eldest brother in the capital, after all, civil officials pay attention to a clear name, and this kind of thing of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix is best to do less.

However, thinking about Xiao Sixteen, who came suddenly, Zong Zheng looked at the eldest princess and Pei Yuma with sincerity and expectation on his face, gritted his teeth, and he was about to nod his head.

Unexpectedly, an urgent voice suddenly came from outside the window: "No! Then a head poked out, it was Xiao Pengju. Then Pei Junshao also showed his eyebrows slightly.

The two of them were not embarrassed at all when they heard the corner, but the eldest princess and Pei Juma were so annoyed that they couldn't do it. This move is really rude in front of Zong Zhengjin. The eldest princess said angrily: "You two little monkey cubs, get in the palace!" ”

In addition to Xiao Pengju and Pei Junshao, there was also Yan Yuqian, who was full of interest. The young marshal probably didn't do this kind of thing for the first time, and he wasn't embarrassed at all. Xiao Pengju and Pei Junshao came in to make amends, but he looked around with his eyes.

Huh? Who is this old man?! (To be continued.) )
