Chapter 218: Choosing a Direction

"Rosewood screens? Did the master really say he was going to send this? In Guanghe Hall, Old Madam Zhao couldn't help but look at Hui Ya when she heard the big housekeeper reply, with surprise and hesitation in her eyes, but more questions.

"This red sandalwood screen is one of the few precious objects in the house, why did the master suddenly remember to give this." Old Madam Zhao seemed to be talking to herself, but her eyes kept looking at Zheng and Huiya, obviously wanting to ask the reason from their mouths.

Although Huiya didn't know what the difference between the rosewood screens in Zhao's mansion was, she also knew that the precious wood of rosewood was just a slightly more valuable object, but when she saw Mrs. Zhao's appearance, she knew that what she thought might be too simple.

"Mother, this rosewood screen is so valuable, why don't you ask Daddy to think twice." Zheng was looked at by Old Madam Zhao's fierce gaze, and felt a little panicked in his heart, so he couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade.

In Zheng's view, Xu is his father-in-law or Huiya, because of the joy of this housewarming, he begged Master Zhao, hoping to come up with a decent gift, and Master Zhao promised a red sandalwood screen. But now looking at Mrs. Zhao's serious appearance, knowing that this matter is not as simple as she thought, she is a little short of breath and wants to retreat.

"Grandmother, is there any difference in this rosewood screen? Why did my grandfather just click on this object? Although Huiya was a little worried about her grandmother's gaze, she still blinked her eyes and asked.

Huiya knew the seriousness of standing in line, and naturally knew that her grandfather must have his own reasons for deciding to send the rosewood screen, but what the reason was, Huiya still wanted to know more clearly, so that Lianfu would speak for the Zhao family.

"This rosewood screen...... It is a good wood that your grandfather got with his own hands when he was out fighting, and it is said that it is the private collection of the vassal kings of the previous dynasty, and after entering Beijing, he found the best craftsman, and carved it with the best work for nearly a year before it was completed, and it was originally planned to be promoted...... "Mrs. Zhao was looked at by Hui Yan's watery apricot pit, and she couldn't help but say a few more words. When she said that she was going to be promoted to do something, she stopped suddenly.

This matter is a secret of the Zhao family, and it is related to the officialdom, and Mrs. Zhao was secretly annoyed. I was guided by Huiya's firm and suspicious gaze and almost said the wrong thing, how could I let my daughter-in-law and granddaughter know about this!

"I see...... Although Old Madam Zhao stopped talking at the critical moment, Hui Ya had already heard a general idea from her words.

The wood used for the rosewood screen is very precious, after all, it can be collected by the vassal king, and the grandfather can travel thousands of miles back to the capital. And the objects specially created by the best craftsmen are definitely not ordinary. If Aunt Cui's simple housewarming gift such a precious object, does it mean that grandfather has made a decision to join the princelings?

"Grandmother, are you going to send it out, let's discuss it with grandfather again, can I take a look at this red sandalwood screen first?" Hui Ya was really curious about this precious red sandalwood screen, although she knew that her request was a bit excessive, she still looked at Mrs. Zhao with a blank eye, hoping that she could agree.

"Well, if the master really wants to give this screen away. Isn't it too much of a loss for our own family to see it? I'll just take it out for you to see and open your eyes. "Old Madam Zhao originally wanted to refuse, but thinking that such a good object had been in the library for so long, it was really tyrannical, so it was better to let her children and grandchildren see the world, and after a little hesitation, she agreed.

In the afternoon of the same day, all the rooms in the Zhao Mansion received a message from Mrs. Zhao, saying that dinner was placed in Guanghe Hall and asked them to eat together, and the masters of each room heard the news. All were a little surprised.

Because Mrs. Zhao loves to be quiet, in addition to eating together regularly on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, she is easily reluctant to let them come to Guanghetang to eat on weekdays, saying that she is afraid of restraining them. It also disturbs his own purity. Now that someone is specially sent to say that they are going to Guanghe Hall for dinner, everyone has different ideas in their hearts, but there is one thing that has reached a consensus, that is, Mrs. Zhao must have something to say at dinner.

But until the owners of each room finished dinner, they didn't see Mrs. Zhao say anything special. One by one, they were curious about the tea bowls, and they heard Master Zhao speak, "Now the situation at home, most of you also have a spectrum in your hearts, the situation in the court is changing, although I know that we have to take great risks if we choose the direction, but we are already standing on the cusp, and it is time to express our attitude." ”

As soon as Master Zhao said this, Uncle Zhao and the three brothers knew Master Zhao's thoughts, and now they were pushed to the knife edge and shelved, it was time to choose a side. And the junior men and women, except for Hui Ya's heart, the people next to them all showed blank looks, obviously not knowing what Master Zhao was talking about.

"Master, ...... you say this" Old Madam Zhao is obviously the one who has the most right to express questions, with the ups and downs of Old Man Zhao for decades, Rao is just an inner house woman, but she can see farther than others. Hearing Master Zhao's words, Mrs. Zhao intuitively felt that Master Zhao was going to stand in line in the succession, but she didn't know how to ask, she opened her mouth, and after a long time, she said with some difficulty.

"It's okay, wait until the dust settles. Don't you want the children to open their eyes and look at the red sandalwood screen, look at it now. Old Mrs. Zhao waved his hand, he knew what Mrs. Zhao was going to ask, but this was not the time to be able to explain everything clearly, Mrs. Zhao knew the habits of her father-in-law, so she didn't say anything, and took a group of children and grandchildren to the warm pavilion next to her to see the legendary rosewood screen.

Huiya didn't follow, the question in her heart was very strong, so strong that she couldn't give a gift with peace of mind without asking anything. Hui Ya pulled her father's clothes and stood in place and took a deep breath, and then walked up to Master Zhao, pursed her lips before she mustered up the courage to look up and ask, "Grandfather, has it been decided, has our family joined the prince's party?" Have you discussed the countermeasures with the Dingguo Mansion, how to deal with the impeachment of the DPRK and China? ”

"How do you know!" The look of surprise in Master Zhao's eyes flashed, and after glancing at Hui Ya, he stared at Second Master Zhao tightly, with condemnation in his eyes, as if to say, why do you say everything to the child, what if such an important matter is leaked out!

"Grandfather, I guessed it myself, it's none of my father's business. Tell me, has our family decided? Hui Ya opened her big black and white eyes, stepped forward and pulled down Master Zhao's hand, and then said stubbornly. She not only said why she guessed this, but also told the news that she sent Yahuan to inquire around, and only hid the things in her previous life and did not say anything, which reluctantly made Master Zhao believe it.

"Ya'er, I really didn't expect you to be so smart." Master Zhao stroked his beard, looking at his second granddaughter with complicated eyes, if she was a man, with his strange power and this meticulous observation and careful thinking, the prosperity of the Zhao family is just around the corner!

"That's right, my grandfather has already decided to join the prince's party, and the third prince is gloomy and irritable, and he is really not suitable for the king. And the three princes and the party will start to threaten our family now, if anything happens in the future, the Zhao family must be the first to be abandoned, even if it is lucky to succeed, it will be the end of the bird's bow in the future, and my grandfather does not dare to bet. Master Zhao said with a solemn expression, giving Hui Ya the answer she wanted to hear, and also made Hui Ya's heart have a huge shadow on the three princes and the party. (To be continued.) )
