Chapter 197: Cheer up and speak

Mrs. Zhao suddenly remembered what happened before, it was a trivial matter at that time, and she had long forgotten about it. At that time, she didn't look down on the three rooms of the Chen family. So, I didn't take this matter to heart at all, at this time, when I heard my daughter-in-law's reminder, I suddenly remembered, my old face couldn't help but blush, and then I saw the strange eyes of her husband and son, she unnaturally twisted her face to the side and said: "At that time, isn't that time now?" Mrs. Chen wouldn't have such a narrow amount of energy, would she? ”

Now the old Zhongyi Gong understands that there is really such a thing in feelings, this wonderful lady in her own family has offended people, she has forgotten about it, and now she still wants to beg others to save her daughter with a shy face, I really don't know what to say about her.

Zhao Chongli just didn't care about trivial matters, but he was actually a person with a lot of care, and he couldn't hear that this matter was really there. It's just that the old lady forgot about it. No wonder when his wife just entered the circle of noblewomen in the capital, it was so difficult, because there was too much hatred left by his mother. My mother has always been arrogant, and she has offended many people, and it took a lot of effort for Mrs. to change everyone's impression of the Zhongyi Mansion. This kind of thing has been dealt with a lot, and he has seen that his mother has offended too many people, and she may not remember it herself.

It's a matter now, too. It's infuriating that just now my mother scolded her wife aggressively. How difficult it has been for the poor lady to be a loyal duchess for half a year, busy wiping her mother-in-law's buttocks, and now she has to face the reproach of her mother-in-law. It seems that when I go back, I have to make up for my wife.

When Zhao Chongli thought so. The old loyal and righteous man said: "Okay, old man, you tell me about the things at that time, and I will listen to it." ”

Han glanced at Mrs. Zhao. Didn't dare to say anything. Lao Zhongyi said to Mrs. Zhao: "Then it's better for Mrs. to say it again, I'll listen to it." ”

Mrs. Zhao was embarrassed and said, "I'm old and I can't remember, so let's call the old guys." ”

Lao Zhongyi looked at the Han family, the Han family had no way, and he stubbornly explained how Zhao Chongyi inadvertently saved the county lord of Wenhui at that time, and then, the county lord's mother and daughter thanked the Zhao family. I brought a gift to thank you. And then how to receive the cold treatment. Then, the county lord Wen Hui went to the backyard to play with Yu Fei, and as a result, how did Yu Fei find fault with the county lord Wen Hui. In the end, the Bai family broke up with Wen Hui unhappily.

Of course. Han Shi has tried to downplay this matter as much as possible when he spoke. But the old loyal and righteous man still understood.

The old loyalty, righteousness and righteousness trembled. One pointed at Mrs. Zhao and said, "You, you, let me say what is good about you?" Something like that. People come to thank you, you can make enemies with others, what's going on with you? ”

Mrs. Zhao said angrily, "What's wrong with me? At that time, Xiao Chen's family did not have its current status, and the queen mother was not the queen mother at that time, she was still an imperial concubine, although her status was higher, but she was not favored, and it was Wan Guifei who was really favored in the palace. In the imperial court, the power of the Chen family is not strong, and the three princes still control the household department, the official department, and the officials all over the world look at the faces of the three princes. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was suppressed at that time, and he didn't even dare to speak out in the military department. At that time, how did I know that the Chen family had three rooms, and a concubine's three rooms could now have so much power. ”

The old loyal and righteous man was even more angry, and he didn't know how to talk to this stupid woman.

Mrs. Zhao seemed to have found a reason at once, and she burst into words: "At that time, your father and son had already fought the royal court of the barbarians in the northwest, and the war was about to be won. Our Zhao family has made great contributions. My daughter also entered the palace as a Chonghua Niangniang, although my eldest daughter died of Xiangxiaoyu, but the holy family is still there, and the emperor posthumously sealed the concubine. But Mrs. Chen, a concubine, actually had the face to come to our house, and asked me to entertain her personally. I brought some gifts, but am I the kind of person who doesn't see her gifts? Our Zhao family is not a small family, the kind of person with small eyes, when I saw her coming over with a gift, I received her warmly? ”

The old loyal and righteous man was even more angry, this stupid woman did something wrong, didn't admit it, and was actually justified, he was really angry: "Are you still reasonable?" Not to mention that people still come to the door with things, that is, people come to the door empty-handed, we should also entertain others out of etiquette, where can we look down on people and not receive them warmly? Mrs. Chen San, it was common to enter the palace at that time, which lady to go to, and the mother was not warmly received? Are you more noble than the ladies in the palace? You always think it's great for you to be a loyal duchess, we haven't been at home in the past few years, how many people have you offended in the capital? No wonder our family is isolated in the capital, it's all from you, an unvirtuous mother-in-law. ”

Han thought silently in his heart, father-in-law, you guessed right this time. Mrs. Zhao was at a loss, so she could only keep silent. Zhao Chong thought confidently, no wonder his father said that he couldn't learn from his mother, she had already taught her three sisters badly, and she couldn't delay herself anymore. In fact, it is. The two brothers have already made contributions to the country and become men who stand up to the sky, but they are still delayed in the splendid pile, and they are really delayed by their mother. In the future, I can't believe all my mother's words.

Old Zhongyi Gong thought about it, calmed his anger, and said, "It has been happening for several years, and it is useless to talk about it now. Everyone, you are very good, thanks to you for reminding me, otherwise, I opened my face and invited people, but they didn't come, I don't know what's going on. Although your mother offended people in the past, but now that we are in-laws, it is difficult for them to refuse me if we break bones and tendons. In this way, I will come forward alone, and invite them and their husbands to a restaurant in the suburbs with Chongli, Chongyi, and Chongxin. I remember there was a nice restaurant in the town ahead. Everyone, you go and take care of it in advance, change it to a cook in our house, or invite a cook directly from the Beijing Restaurant. I also used our furniture to decorate the furnishings in the restaurant. Thinking about it this way, coming to our in-laws will give us a face. ”

Zhao Chongli and Han hurriedly agreed. Zhao Chongxin is also busy, and he is very happy to be able to contribute to his sister.

Mrs. Zhao didn't dare to say anything without her, and let the old loyal and righteous man assign it.

After the old Zhongyi Gong finished arranging, he raised his feet and prepared to go to the study to write an invitation, but this time it was Zhao Chongli who stopped him, and he said: "Father, please stay, there are still things I want to ask my father." ”

The old loyal and righteous man laughed angrily, what is going on with the two of them today, and take turns to let him stay.

The old loyal and righteous man had no choice but to sit down and say, "Everything has been finished at once." ”

Zhao Chongli hurriedly said: "That's the case, there are some things in the court that I want to tell you." ”

The old loyal and righteous man said: "This is a while, you go to the study with me." Call your third brother and let him listen to him too. ”

Zhao Chongli hurriedly agreed: "Also, next month is to give a dowry to Xiao Chen's family, our husband and wife have drawn up a list, please ask my father and mother to take a look at it and see if there is anything to add or subtract." ”

This is a big deal. Lao Zhongyigong nodded, waiting for Zhao Chongli to take out a small notebook from his sleeve.

Mrs. Zhao saw that it was a book, not a gift list, and she knew that there must be a lot of things, otherwise it was not a piece of paper, but a book? The suppressed anger in my heart suddenly came up.

Lao Zhongyigong took the notebook and read it carefully, and handed it to Mrs. Zhao casually.

Lao Zhongyigong closed his eyes and thought for a while, Mrs. Zhao was already getting more and more angry, and finally couldn't help it, and dropped the book with a bang: "What the hell is going on with you?" I put you in charge of the family business, and you spend so extravagantly? Although our Zhongyi Mansion is rich, it can't afford such an expense? ”

These words are heavy, and they are clearly aimed at the Han family.

Han thought in his heart that the face that his mother-in-law had lost just now was going to be regained here. She simply knelt down again and said, "The daughter-in-law is just a list according to the father's wishes, if the mother thinks something is wrong, please tell the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law will change it as soon as she returns." ”

Mrs. Zhao said angrily: "What is not suitable? None of them fit. Is this the charter for a concubine to marry a wife and give a dowry? Is our family the kind of family that has no rules? Isn't there a precedent for these things? Not to mention the dowry for the concubine to marry a wife, it is the dowry when Chongli married you, don't you know? At that time, he was already a loyal and righteous prince, and he had an official position in the imperial court, but it was not like that, this was higher than the one you used to be, where was this rule. The second son is taller than the eldest son, and the concubine son is taller than the sister-in-law? ”

Han hurriedly said: "Mother taught me a lesson. The rules of ordinary people are like this, the second son cannot be taller than the eldest son, and the concubine cannot be taller than the sister-in-law, or it is not good to mess up the order. But our family's situation is special. Chongyi's marriage is a marriage. The subject is the county lord of the Xiao Chen family again. The identity and rules are different. ”

Mrs. Zhao shouted: "Nonsense, with what kind of identity she was before she got married, what about the county lord?" The princess also has to get married, and there are rules. After she married into our family, they were all members of our family, and they all had to follow the rules of our family, even the court could not let the concubine be higher than the sister-in-law, and the second son was higher than the eldest son. ”

Han said: "However, I have heard that this time the Xiao Chen family married a daughter, and the dowry prepared was very rich, and it may be a little more generous than the princess's marriage." If this is the case, the dowry under our family is light, isn't it going to be laughed at by the people in the capital? ”

Mrs. Zhao sneered and said, "What's the joke? Their family is rich, and it is their family's business that they are willing to take all the money to accompany their daughter. Is our family the one who waits for his daughter-in-law's dowry to live? Is her dowry rare in our family? We won't ask for her dowry at all. Therefore, everything in their family is the same. We still follow the rules of our house. ”

Lao Zhongyi and Zhao Chongli said at the same time in their hearts that our family really fell in love with her dowry. Ordinary gold and silver fields, the loyal and righteous family can not care, but these are three cities, and it is a large territory overseas where a kingdom can be established, can you not care?
