Chapter 122: Jealousy
Zhao Chongli said anxiously: "Impossible, my mother is just a woman, how can she do such a thing?" β
Zhongyi Gong smiled coldly and said: "Yes, a female stream, we all look down on a female stream." I always thought that the woman could only engage in some intrigues and calculations in the inner house, but it was nothing more than a disaster to the aunt in the backyard. The major events in the world are still what men say, and it is a man's business to conquer cities and change dynasties. However, it is the female generation that we look down on who can become queens and change the rise and fall of a family. The Chen family was originally the lowest family among the four families, but because of a Queen Chen, it is now the head of the four families. The county lord of Wenhui is a little girl, and she is building a city in Nanyang, and she can become a kingdom. There are also some female streamers, because of unknown reasons, or because of jealousy, who can deliberately plot Chongyi and sabotage Chongyi's marriage, but they don't know that this will lead our Zhao family to die a kingdom? β
Zhao Chongli was a little shaken, but this is somewhat possible. Mother has always disliked Chongyi, and even attacked Chongyi several times. Neither my father nor myself liked my mother doing this. However, this is all harmless things, but because Chongyi is not a descendant, but an aunt. The mother just did it a few times, but she just didn't give Chongyi good things, such as delicious food, first give a few to her brothers and sisters, and good clothes are also a few for her brothers and sisters first, Chongyi is disobedient, so he takes the people around him out of anger, for example, puts Chongyi's nurse on the Zhuangzi. sold Chongyi's former personal maid, but it was nothing. It's just some servants, and Chongyi hasn't suffered any substantial harm.
How can a mother sabotage Chongyi's marriage now? However, it is also possible to undermine Chongyi's marriage. He is the eldest son and the pride of his mother, and his mother worked hard to marry Han for herself. Han was born in a famous family, virtuous and talented, and has always been the pride of his mother. My father was also very good to Han, and often said that this family would be handed over to him and Han in the future. He was relieved.
But. If his mother has always looked down on his concubine, Chongyi married the county lord of Wenhui. The county lord of Wen Hui was born higher than the Han family. Although the Han family is from a famous family, how can he compare with the princess of Wen Hui, the daughter of the family? Although there are many people in the Han family who are officials, which one can compare with the queen? Which one can compare to the crown princess? Lord Wen Hui is the niece of the queen mother and the cousin of the crown princess.
Except for the origin. The county lord of Wenhui is still the identity of the county lord. Second only to princesses. Or the head of the South Seas. The city lord of Qingchun City, a member of the first rank, is higher than his official position.
Is this something that Han can compare?
And also. Wen Hui's Xiao Chen family is a well-known wealthy family in the world, even if Wen Hui's dowry in the future does not add that Qingchun City, it must be no less than one hundred and twenty lifts, when the Han family married him, how much was the dowry? Although the Han family is a famous family, it is not a wealthy family, but it is only a dowry of 20,000 taels of silver prepared for the Han family, 66 lifts. Of course, this is already very good in the circle of daughters-in-law in the capital, and the mother is often proud of this. However, if in the future, the dowry of Lord Wenhui is twice as much as that of the Han family, no, several times more, how can this make the mother accept it?
Now, Zhao Chongli has believed in this matter, and nine times out of ten his mother did it. Mother is really ignorant, just for those little things, to destroy this opportunity to make the Zhao family take off, it's really unreasonable.
Zhao Chongli stammered and said: "Mother doesn't understand what benefits marrying the county lord of Wenhui can bring to the Zhao family, so she will be like this, and ask my father to forgive her." β
Zhongyi Gong said coldly: "Forgive her? I forgave her a lot, what happened to Chongyi's mother back then? Why is it gone? Your mother told me she was dead, but when a person dies, the body should be there, but what about the body? Just a clump of ashes. I've been away all the year round, how can I know what the situation is, how can I suddenly get sick and die, and turn into a cloud of ashes? β
Zhao Chongli's heart moved, could it be that there is still a mystery in this?
Zhongyi Gong said: "In addition to Chongyi's mother, there are many of my aunts, either miscarriage, or the child who gave birth died, until now, there is no concubine child in our house except Chongyi, what is going on?" How can it be such a coincidence? Why is it that this miscarriage and premature death are all in our house? β
Zhao Chongli's cold sweat broke out.
Zhongyigong took a deep breath, calmed the anger in his heart, and said: "You don't have to defend her, and you don't have to worry about her, fortunately, we found it early, and we can save it." Moreover, we will be back in the capital soon. When you return, you will be ready to take my place as the prince of the kingdom, and I will take your mother to seclusion in a hurry. She was already delirious, and she was carried away by jealousy, if she was allowed to be the Duchess of the country again, she didn't know what trouble would cause to our Zhao family in the future. Although I know what mistakes she has made, it is enough to divorce her a hundred times, but I will not divorce her. Because there are still you, and my grandson, and your second sister in the palace, your third sister in the family, and your third brother. For the sake of the few of you, I can't divorce her, let you become concubines, and become the offspring of divorced wives. β
The corners of Zhao Chongli's mouth muttered a few times, but he didn't know what to say.
Zhongyi Gong said: "It's good that you know, you can find an excuse to kill that snow for me, don't be an eyesore here." Before, her life was kept to investigate the people behind her, but now there is no need for this. Also, Chongyi there, I will sue him, he has the right to know. Only when we know can we be prepared, or next time, maybe we won't be so lucky. Also, the reason why his whereabouts are known is because one of the guards beside him is the son of our family, who was bought by your mother and betrayed Chongyi. This person, I will sue sΓΉ Chongyi, and he will dispose of it. β
What can Zhao Chongli say? I could only nod my head and agree, and I walked out of my father's big tent dejectedly.
Walking outside, a cold wind blew, although it was still early autumn, but the iron wall pass had begun to cold, and the grass began to wither. This gust of cold wind woke up Zhao Chongli. No matter what his mother does, it is his mother, and this cannot be changed. Moreover, the father did not plan to do anything to the mother, but only let the mother retire with him. Of course, with her mother's character, she will be very unhappy, she is used to living as a top lady in the capital, accustomed to the life of the stars holding the moon, and she will definitely be unhappy if she goes to the countryside to live a boring life. However, my father is already going into hiding, even if my mother didn't make a mistake, do you want my father to live alone in the countryside, and my mother continues to live a noble life in the capital enjoying flowers and tea parties every day? Mother must take care of the father, even if the father does not let the mother go, the mother has to go, if the noblewomen in the capital know that the father is alone in the Zhuangzi, but the mother is in the city, then the mother's position will not be kept. Since this is the case, there is nothing wrong with making mistakes, anyway, my mother is going to the countryside to settle down, and the Zhongyi Mansion will have to rely on herself and the Han family to run it in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chongli felt that Zhao Chongyi's marriage was very important, not only for the future, for the future of the kingdom, but also for the present, in the northwest, the Zhao family is the first, no one can cross their family, but what about in the capital? There are many princes and nobles, and many are wealthy families, and the Zhao family will be in danger, at this time, it is too much to need such a strong help from the Xiao Chen family.
Zhao Chongli's heart began to harden, and he strode towards the outside of the barracks, and when he got out of the camp gate, a guard brought his horse, he turned over on his horse, and went to the green building where the snow was located.
Here, Zhongyi Gong cleaned up his mood and went to Zhao Chongyi's camp. Zhao Chongyi was lying bored, and someone suddenly came in the big tent without an embankment, and he was about to lose his temper with the guards, didn't he say that no one was allowed to come in? Before he could speak, he had already seen clearly that the person who came was actually his father, the commander of the Northwest Army, Zhongyigong.
Zhao Chongyi hurriedly turned over and got out of bed and saluted his father.
Zhongyigong stretched out his hand to help Zhao Chongyi up, took Zhao Chongyi's hand and sat down, looking at this handsome son seriously.
Zhao Chongyi has been favored by Zhongyi since he was a child, and his relationship with Zhongyi is better than that between Zhao Chongli and his father. But Zhongyi rarely treats Zhao Chongyi with such tenderness, and Zhao Chongyi is a little confused and a little overwhelmed.
Zhongyi Gong said gently: "Ayi, you are not young this year, in fact, you should have gotten married a long time ago, but you have never been willing to get married." In the past few years, whether it is the daughter of a general in the army, a sister-in-law, or a celebrity in the capital, you have refused everything. That year, we smashed the royal court of the barbarians and captured many noble girls of the barbarians, and even one of them was a princess of the barbarians, how beautiful she looked, the generals in the army were red-eyed, and they all wanted that princess. However, when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, everyone says that it should be given to you, because you are the first to charge forward, and there is no woman around you to serve, and that beautiful princess is about to be matched to you, what a beauty worthy of a young hero. But you refused. In the end, he gave the princess to another general. I don't think anything, although it's a princess of the barbarians, after all, it's a dead country, unknown, and it's right not to keep it around. However, at that time, I realized that you have always been served by a small servant, and you don't even have a personal maid. I'm worried, I'm afraid it's because when you were a child, after your mother-in-law took away your personal big girl, you were sad and never approached women again. Later, you came back from the capital and sued me, in fact, you have someone in your heart, and you are the county lord of Wenhui. My heart was put down. β
Zhao Chongyi laughed and laughed. (To be continued......)
