Everything was carried out according to the old lady's plan, Murong was low-key to spread the news of An Ruojin's serious illness while investigating the mastermind behind the scenes, and An Ruolan and An Ruojin waited for Imperial Doctor Zhang to arrive in the Jin Palace, with the cooperation of Meng Yuyan.

No one doubted the news that An Ruojin was seriously ill, because of the rumors, she was really haggard some time ago, and she hardly went out, as soon as the news spread, many people believed it, and some people made a fuss about it, saying that An Ruojin was really not easy to conceive.

When the Zhou Mansion heard such news, it was naturally anxious, and the old lady Zhou also made up her mind and wanted to quit this family business, but Meng Yuqing bit her mouth and didn't let go, she just said to wait, Zhou Yuhan and Zhou Yongxuan did not agree to withdraw from the marriage, and the Zhou Mansion also made a fuss for a while because of this.

Not to mention the Zhou Mansion, the Wenxin Marquis Mansion is also very lively, on the one hand, he is worried about An Ruojin, and on the other hand, he is secretly happy.

An Ruodan is naturally the one who rejoices.

Of course, she wouldn't be stupid enough to express her thoughts.

Since An Ruojin went to the Jin Palace, in front of people, An Ruodan has become more and more virtuous and filial, and never forgot to express her concern and concern for An Ruojin, and after the people, she cursed An Ruojin every day to die of illness, and she married into the Zhou Mansion as a young lady.

An Ruoxian didn't think things were so simple, she warned An Ruodan more than once, telling her not to get carried away.

An Ruodan could not listen to it, and said: "Sister Xian, you think too much, I also went to see An Ruojin a few days ago, she looks like a ghost, and she can't live long at first glance." ”

"I'm still not at ease." An Ruoxian was still worried.

An Ruodan pouted and said: "Think about it, if you weren't really sick, how could the eldest lady spread such news, this is a matter of An Ruojin's body being damaged and not easy to conceive." ”

An Ruoxian thought about it, but she just felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say why, so she had to let An Ruodan's behavior go.

And after An Ruoxian also gave up persuasion, An Ruodan became anxious for quick success.

She first persuaded her biological aunt Xie to help her say good things, and then began to encourage Second Master An.

"Father, now that things are so big, it is still unknown whether the second sister can marry into the Zhou Mansion, rather than giving up this great in-law and letting the Hou Mansion miss a good family, it is better to fulfill the daughter's wish, let the daughter be the second sister's companion, and marry into the Zhou Mansion with the second sister, so that even if the second sister can't give birth to a child in the future, I can support it, it's better than cheapening others."

An Ruodan's words pleaded, all for the sake of the Hou Mansion, which made Second Master An very moved.

However, this matter is not something that Second Master An can decide, although he also wants to have a son-in-law with a bright future.

After hesitating for a while, Second Master An said, "Dan'er, are you really willing to make such a sacrifice for the Hou Mansion?" You tell your father honestly, if you have no intention of the eldest young master of the Zhou family, your father will never force you, your father can arrange a good family affair for you, and you don't have to wronged yourself. ”

An Ruodan also knew that his father was cautious and suspicious, so when he heard the words, he no longer covered them up, and said shyly and timidly: "Don't hide it from my father, my daughter has admired Young Master Zhou for a long time, but she never dared to say that if she can be by Young Master Zhou's side, even if she is a concubine's daughter, she will be willing to do it." ”

"I see." Second Master An's eyes sank slightly, paused, and said: "Father has always loved you, since this is your wish, father is also willing to fulfill you, but this matter is not something that father can decide, so let's go with your father to plead with your grandmother, if your grandmother agrees, your father will promise you." ”

"This ......" An Ruodan hesitated, the reason why she didn't go directly to her grandmother, but came to discuss with her father, was to hope that her father could solve the matter for her, and now it seems that her father was also afraid of angering her grandmother, so she asked her to come forward herself.

It's a lie to say that you love and care!

An Ruodan snorted coldly in her heart, and Second Master An saw her hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "What, didn't you say that you could sacrifice for the Hou Mansion?" ”

Where did An Ruodan dare to delay any longer, he was afraid that he would let himself go alone, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "My daughter is willing to go with her father to see her grandmother." ”

"Good." Second Master An nodded with satisfaction.

An Ruodan rolled her eyes and said, "Since it is a lifelong event for her daughter, it is not good to hide it from her mother, so it is better to invite her mother to her grandmother, right?" ”

Second Master An thought about it, one more person to speak, even if he angered his mother, he would have one more person to bear, so he bowed his head and said: "Okay, I'll let someone call your mother, you go to Songhe Hall with me first." ”

"Yes, father." An Ruodan bowed her head obediently.

When I arrived at Songhe Hall, I didn't see the old lady, and Second Master An asked Mama Wu, who only said that she was chanting in the Buddhist hall and didn't let people disturb her.

Second Master An knew that the old lady had become more and more convinced of Buddhism in the past two years, and she had to spend a lot of time chanting and chanting Buddha every day, so he didn't dare to disturb, he wanted to come back later, but he saw An Ruodan looking at him with a pleading face.

"Father......" An Ruodan was crying, as if he would be broken if he waited a little longer.

In the end, it was the daughter who had loved him for more than ten years, Second Master An couldn't bear it, so he said: "I may not have gone in for a long time to put incense on the Bodhisattva, Mama Wu, please lead the way." ”

An Ruodan smiled in an instant.

Mama Wu smiled and took the father and daughter to the Buddhist hall.

The maid who had already had a spirit went around to the back of the Buddhist hall to greet the old lady, and when she heard this, the old lady said: "Since you want to come and hit the wall, let them come, go and stop the second lady, so that she doesn't have to come." ”

The maid answered yes and quietly retreated.

An Erye and An Ruodan followed Mama Wu to the Buddha Hall, took incense and lit it, and after kowtowing to the Bodhisattva, the father and daughter cleaned their hands and went to the old lady.

"Mother."

"Grandmother."

Father and daughter saluted.

"Get up." The old lady responded lightly, put down the wooden fish mallet in her hand, and Mama Song, who was waiting on the side, immediately handed her a hot handkerchief to wipe her hands.

Second Master An and An Ruodan exchanged a look, and both father and daughter were waiting for each other to speak.

The old lady glanced at the two of them lightly and said, "If there is nothing to do, I still have to copy the scriptures, so you can go back." ”

"Yes, something." An Ruodan couldn't hold back and opened his mouth first.

What she is most afraid of in the entire Hou Mansion is the old lady, in front of the old lady, she always becomes trembling and cautious.

Once he opened his mouth, the words behind him were much easier, An Ruodan stabilized his mind and said respectfully: "Grandmother, that's the case, because the rumors about Sister Jin are spreading too much now, my father and I are worried that it will affect the marriage between the Hou Mansion and the Zhou Mansion, so I thought of a way to ask my grandmother's opinion." ”

She cleverly changed the concept and said that An Ruojin's marriage with Zhou Yongxuan was the marriage between the Hou Mansion and the Zhou Mansion, so that whether she accompanied her or married into the Zhou Mansion instead of An Ruojin, it became a logical thing, and at the same time, she also kept this family affair for the Hou Mansion.

An Ruodan thought it was the best of both worlds.

But where could the old lady be so foolish?

Hearing this, the old lady let out a faint "oh" and pointed out: "Although Ruo Jin and Yongxuan have set a family affair, it can be regarded as a marriage between the Hou Mansion and the Zhou Mansion, but it can't be said like this, after all, there are other young masters in the Zhou family, and there are many young ladies in my Hou Mansion, so it will not be good if outsiders misunderstand." ”

An Ruodan was stunned, didn't her grandmother understand her words?

Second Master An understood that the old lady was deliberately pretending to be stupid and refusing them euphemistically.

"Grandmother, granddaughter means ......" An Ruodan just wanted to explain, but before she could finish speaking, Second Master Zhong pressed her shoulder and signaled her to be calm.

"I don't know what my mother's plans are for Sister Jin's marriage?" Second Master An arched his hand.

Seeing him come forward, An Ruodan quieted down and stepped aside.

"Why, you're going to ask about the backyard?" The old lady looked up at him.

"My son didn't mean it." Second Master An suppressed the panic in his heart and said respectfully: "It's just that it's about the future of the Hou Mansion, and my son feels that I should care about it, and besides, Sister Jin is her son's niece, and her marriage can't be ignored by my son." ”

"You have a heart." The old lady laughed, picked up the pen and dipped the ink, and Mama Song quickly spread out the white paper.

Reciting the Buddha's name in a low voice, the old lady began to copy the Buddhist scriptures, and said, "Your three younger brothers are not as careful as you, even your eldest brother, and they don't ask about this matter." ”

Those who have ears can hear the mockery, and even their biological father is worried, what do you care about your uncle?

Second Master An didn't feel a burst of ear burning.

Eating her father's deflated, An Ruodan became more and more impatient, she didn't beat around the bush anymore, and said urgently: "Grandmother, we are also worried that Sister Jin will be dismissed, so we want to come to discuss countermeasures with you, grandfather must not want to lose this in-law!" ”

The old lady paused, lowered her face and said, "It's not big or small, you have learned all the rules in the dog's belly?" I talk to your father, where is your turn to interject? ”

"I ......" An Ruodan's heart jumped suddenly, and she lowered her eyes in fear, but she didn't give up, but said tremblingly: "Even if Sister Jin is fortunate enough to marry into the Zhou Mansion, but she has no heirs in the future, she will be looked down upon by the Zhou family, why don't grandmothers choose a capable assistant for Sister Jin and send them to the Zhou Mansion together......"

Under the old lady's star, An Ruodan's voice became smaller and smaller.

The old lady retracted her gaze and said lightly: "It's not a small courage. ”

Second Master Zhong pleaded: "Dan'er is still young, she bumped into her mother, and I hope my mother will forgive her, she is also thinking about the Hou Mansion." ”

"Whether she really thinks about the Hou Mansion or her own selfish desires, she knows in her heart." The old lady lowered her eyes, put down the pen, and said, "I can't calm down because of your trouble, and I don't have to copy this Buddhist scripture." ”

Waving her hand, Mama Song hurriedly put away all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"My son is at fault." Second Master Zhong bowed down and admitted his mistake.

The old lady took the new hot handkerchief and wiped her hands, and said: "If you go to mention this matter to Hou Ye first, you may be able to do it, come to me first, but it won't be done, go back, even if you have to choose a companion for Sister Jin, it won't be Sister Dan." ”

At this point, Second Master An knew that there was no room for maneuvering, so he arched his hand, and dragged An Ruodan, who was still about to shout, to leave. R1152
