Mrs. Zhao felt a little strange in her heart and asked Han, "Why does your Han family have a way?" ”

Han Shi hurriedly said: "Mother, what my father is talking about is not my mother's Han family, but Chongyi's younger brother's Yue family, Xiao Chen's family. ”

Mrs. Zhao was stunned, she instinctively wanted to push it away, and she didn't ask for someone related to Zhao Chongyi when she died. However, when she thought that her daughter, who was like a flower, was going to be buried, even if it was for the sake of the old loyal and righteous father, she would not be buried, go to the royal temple, shave off her hair, and live a hard life as a monk, she was also very sad. Being a monk in a royal temple is different from Chen Guifei, who became a monk in her own Taoist temple. In his own Taoist temple, he doesn't need to shave his hair, he is the master of his own house, and he is still surrounded by a group of maids, mothers-in-law, and little Taoist aunts, who serve well, and still have fine clothes and food, but they have to be vegetarian. But in the royal temple, no matter what your previous status was, how you were favored by the emperor, you are all little nuns when you get there, and you have to keep bribing the abbot, even so, you still have to live as a green lantern ancient Buddha, and you have to carry water to cook, chop wood, and do some chores.

Of course, the mother's family is willing to make offerings, it is better, and there is no need to do any rough work, but there will be no one to serve, but to do some light work for the nuns and old nuns who are in charge of the house, such as sprinkling and sweeping, rubbing the table, and serving, which is equivalent to a maid, or a second-class or third-class maid. His daughters are all golden branches and jade leaves, growing up in the palm of her hand, since she was a child, she has been a group of maids and women serving life, her ten fingers do not touch the spring water, she has grown so big, she may not have worn clothes for herself, and after entering the palace, she has always been in a high position. I haven't even been a nobleman, where can I suffer that grievance? A concubine to serve a group of old nuns?

Mrs. Zhao only felt that her heart was like a knife, and muttered, "I don't know if the Xiao Chen family can have a way." Grandpa Guo, why don't you beg for it? ”

Lao Zhongyi nodded and said, "Well, in this way, let's just use the excuse to discuss the marriage, and I will come forward with you to invite the in-laws and husband of the Xiao Chen family to come to our farm for a meal, how about it?" We were supposed to go to their house and ask for advice. However, I can't go to the city. Otherwise, it will have a bad effect. I want to come to my in-laws, and I know what is at stake. Won't blame. ”

Mrs. Zhao nodded hurriedly and said, "Old lady, please hurry up and write a post." I'll prepare a banquet. ”

Lao Zhongyi got up and was about to go to the study.

Han Shi hurriedly stood up and said, "Father, please slow down." ”

Old Zhongyi Gong stopped a little strangely. looked at his daughter-in-law suspiciously.

Mrs. Zhao also looked at her daughter-in-law a little strangely and asked, "Old family, what do you have to say?" ”

Han glanced at Mrs. Zhao. Bite one's tongue.

Mrs. Zhao was anxious. Busy said: "If there is anything, you can say." ”

Lao Zhongyigong has always been satisfied with this daughter-in-law. knows that this daughter-in-law has always been generous. And he is delicate and treats his brothers and sisters well, at this time. I should think of a way to help my sister get through the difficulties, how can I stop it, there must be some situation, looking at the way she wants to speak and stop, she keeps looking at Mrs. Zhao, this must be related to Mrs. Zhao, as a daughter-in-law, she has something to say.

Zhao Chongli was also a little strange, at this critical juncture, why did his wife stop it? He also asked anxiously: "Madam, if you have anything, just tell me." ”

Han still didn't say anything.

Mrs. Zhao immediately got angry and said, "Han, do you think that the future status of the second family will be one level higher, and you didn't ask for your mother's family, but for the second family." You must know that Chongli was born to me, and I am the eldest child, and no matter what, the second family will not be able to go past you. You are a loyal and righteous duchess, and the court has a seal, so be generous. ”

Han's anxious face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Mother, am I such a person?" I have never thought about my younger siblings since I came into this house. Don't say that I am already a loyal duchess of the imperial court, my son is already a prince, even now I am still the wife of the prince, and I am not afraid that the county lord of Wenhui, who has not entered the door, will take away the status of my eldest son and daughter-in-law. I know the county lord of Wenhui, and she is not unfamiliar with my position as a loyal duchess. Everyone is now a first-class member, a minister of the imperial court, who cares about the title of a lady. I'm because of something else. ”

Mrs. Zhao's face became even more ugly, and she said, "Yes, I'm going to forget about it, people are county lords, how can we care about the title of our little lady?" ”

Only then did Han Shi realize that he had made a mistake in what he said in a hurry, and now he said that he was not, and he was in a hurry.

Mrs. Zhao became more and more angry, and planned to stab her daughter-in-law a few words.

Lao Zhongyi shouted: "Enough, when is it, still care about these false names." You can't move the eldest son of ninety at every turn, and you are the identity of the Duchess of Zhongyi. Do you only have those empty things in your eyes? Do you only know utilitarianism? If you really understand, you should understand that although our noble family has hereditary titles, these are just farts in the eyes of the four great families. The families have their own clans. In their own land, they are the emperors. But to put it bluntly, this world is shared by the royal family and the four great families. Will the Chen family care about your title? Besides, the county lord of Wenhui is already the status of the royal county lord, which is no worse than the identity of the Duchess of Zhongyi. Also, he is now the lord of the three cities of Nanyang, and he is the governor of Nanyang personally appointed by the emperor. A member of the first rank, a feudal official, and a person who has been an official of the imperial court, will still care about the identity of a lady who has no rights? The future second daughter-in-law doesn't care, but the eldest daughter-in-law cares? People are also from a scholarly family. The family has been studying for generations, and there are children who are officials in every generation. It's no worse than us nobles. Only you, what you never forget every day is your identity as a loyal duchess. Hum. ”

This remark was very serious, and Mrs. Zhao wanted to refute it, but when she thought about it, it was useless to say anything now, the key was how to save her daughter. So, she decided to let the matter go for the time being and talk about it later. So she didn't say anything, just sat with a low face.

Lao Zhongyigong saw that his wife was silent, his heart calmed down a little, and he turned his head and said to Han with a pleasant face: "Eldest daughter-in-law, what do you have to say." I've always valued you, and I'll listen to you. Moreover, you have been married for so many years, we have always been very satisfied, you are filial, you treat your brothers and sisters very kindly, and you really think about them. You must be thinking about Yuwen, hurry up and say it, even if it's wrong, we won't blame it. ”

When he said the last few words, the expression of the old loyal and righteous man also became gentle.

Han Shi looked at his father-in-law and made up his mind and said, "I want to say, it's good for my father to invite Mrs. Chen to come, don't invite Mrs. Chen to come." ”

At this moment, the old loyal and righteous man asked strangely: "What is this for?" ”

Mrs. Zhao's face became even worse and said, "Although I don't have much contact with their family, how big can the circle of noblewomen in the capital be?" I still don't know who Mrs. Chen is Bai? Their father has a very good relationship, and others say that Lord Chen is the most famous wife who is strict with him, and there is no concubine in the family. It's just for Mrs. Chen, the Bai family. Not to mention, the financial power of the Xiao Chen family is in the hands of Mrs. Chen's Bai family, and what the Bai family says, Lord Chen will listen to it. In this matter, if you don't invite Bai's, Bai's will definitely refuse to contribute, and when the time comes, if you don't invite it, you will be invited in vain? ”

Lao Zhongyi didn't know much about this, after all, he had been in the capital for too short a time. Hearing this, he hurriedly looked at his daughter-in-law.

Han frowned and said, "Mother is very right. Most of the affairs of the Xiao Chen family are decided by Mrs. Chen's Bai family. ”

Mrs. Zhao was furious and said, "Old man, what do you mean, you are the Duchess of Zhongyi, and there is no me in your eyes?" Now that you know, how can you stop the old lady from writing posts to the Chen family and his wife? You don't want to save your mother? ”

Han was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, and said with tears in his eyes: "The daughter-in-law doesn't dare, the daughter-in-law really wants to save the mother." If the mother thinks that the daughter-in-law is not filial and has ulterior motives, and divorces the daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law has no opinion. However, if his father's invitation invited Mrs. Xiao Chen, Bai's family, it would only be a bad thing, and maybe even Master Chen would not come. ”

As soon as Han knelt down, Zhao Chongli was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please let my mother calm her anger, she is not that kind of person." ”

Zhao Chongxin saw that his brother and sister-in-law knelt down, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Father, mother, sister-in-law really love us. ”

Mrs. Zhao was still in a rage, but the old loyal and righteous father heard that something was wrong, he turned around and sat down, and said slowly, "All three of you get up." Everyone, we are not at home all the year round, and we don't know much about the affairs of the circle of ladies in the capital. It's been almost half a year since you became a duchess of Zhongyi now, and you want to mix up in the circle of noblewomen. Say what you know. We won't blame you. I believe that you are genuinely for the good of this family. ”

Zhao Chongli listened to his father's words, got up numbly, and helped his wife and younger brother up by the way, ignoring the ugly look of his mother on the side.

Holding back his tears, Han lowered his head and said, "Thank you, father, mother." There are some things, after a long time, the mother may have forgotten it. In fact, many years ago, Mrs. Chen Bai came to our house. At that time, I sent Mrs. Chen Bai out, and she hated her and never came to our door again. Therefore, if the father invites them to be husband and wife, Mrs. Chen is likely not to come, she will not come, and Mrs. Chen, who usually takes Mrs. Chen's opinion as the main thing, just wants to come, and probably will not dare to come. Therefore, I still ask my father not to write on the post that Mrs. Chen will come with me. In this way, Lord Chen's ordinary entertainment at that time may still come over. Otherwise, if we can't invite any of them, what will we do? ”

Lao Zhongyi Gong and Zhao Chongli both knew about this for the first time, and they both looked at Mrs. Zhao with strange expressions. Only Zhao Chongxin knew the situation at that time, and he couldn't help blushing. (To be continued......)
