In the evening, Zhao Chongli, the loyal and righteous duke, came back from the yamen, and did not go home immediately, today, a colleague had a treat, they went to the restaurant, and came back a little late. He went to Mrs. Han's room to say hello as usual, and was about to go to the concubine's room to rest, but was stopped by Mrs. Han.

Mrs. Han has always been very virtuous and has never stopped him from going to the concubine. Why did you hold him today? Mrs. Han stepped down from the people on the left and right, and Zhao Chongli understood that it must be Mrs. Han who had something to discuss with him. Looks like a big deal.

Sure enough, Mrs. Han then pulled Zhao Chongli to tell her about it.

Zhao Chongli was not calm anymore, he complained: "Such a big thing, why didn't you call me back earlier?" I was still delayed in Yamen for so long, and I went to the restaurant at the invitation of Master Cui, and came back so late. Look, it's so late, how can you go to your daughter's room to talk? ”

Mrs. Han said in her heart, don't you plan to be in my room yet, and plan to go to the concubine's room? What's so good about a concubine? Can I give birth to you so that you can be the queen's daughter in the future?

Of course, these can only be said secretly in her heart, on the surface, Mrs. Han still looks gentle, she said: "If you don't talk to Zhenzhen now, can't you find her tomorrow?" The key thing now is that I want to discuss with my grandfather whether we should hurry up and visit the old lady Bai of the Xiao Chen family. Ask her old man to help train us Zhenzhen. ”

Zhao Chongli hurriedly said: "This is as it should be. What if I don't take a bath tomorrow? Well, it's still the most important thing. Tomorrow, I will take a day off, we will prepare gifts, we must be richer, and the two of us will go to Xiao Chen's house in person to give face to Mrs. Zubai. Ask Mrs. Bai to train Zhenzhen, by the way, if Zhenzhen is allowed to go to Xiao Chen's house to study, will she go every day, or will she live in Xiao Chen's house? ”

Mrs. Han said: "Naturally, I want to live in Xiao Chen's house. Let's be honest. I'm really not at ease living in our house. It's more reassuring to live in Xiao Chen's house. ”

Zhao Chongli frowned and said, "Aren't the guards in our mansion as good as the guards of the Xiao Chen family?" These guards have all returned from the Northwest Battlefield. The murderous aura on his body is heavier than that of ordinary Jianghu people. ”

Madam Han sighed and said, "If someone really wants to do something to our family, must they send assassins?" Has Grandpa forgotten how our eldest sister died? ”

Zhao Chongli was stunned, indeed. Something like this in general. Assassins will not be sent to assassinate them. Zhao Chongli's eldest sister Zhao Yuman. It's just to enter the palace and choose an ordinary palace concubine, at that time, entering the palace was just a nobleman, and someone framed him. poisoned Zhao Yuman, in order to appease the Zhao family, the emperor posthumously named Zhao Yuman as a concubine, and also made a special will to let Zhao Yuman's sister, Zhao Yuwen, enter the palace. Later, Zhao Yuwen became one of the four concubines, and now she is the national teacher in Taoism.

I have experienced such a thing in my own family, and it has not been long since Zhao Chongli has not forgotten it, and when he heard his wife say it at this moment, he couldn't help but hesitate, if it is compared to the strength of the guards, Zhao Chongli is very confident. However, if these servants poisoned, framed, or disfigured the girl, it would be impossible to prevent it.

The servants in his own family have been cleaned up a lot after so many years of sorting out by his wife, Mrs. Han, but before, Mrs. Zhao's messy behavior for so many years was not so easy to clean up. Besides, the backyard of the Zhao family has always been chaotic, there are many concubines, each with their own hearts, in case any of them have different thoughts, attack the baby daughter, not to mention anything else, poison in the food, do hands and feet in the rouge, frame and disfigure, etc., then what can I do?

Zhao Chongli no longer has confidence. At this time, he regretted a little, he was too willful before, and accepted so many women in the backyard indiscriminately, and there was not even a quiet and safe place.

However, the Xiao Chen family not only has a strong escort force, but also the Xiao Chen family is very simple, and there are no concubines or the like. Moreover, there are no in-laws who are out of order. Xiao Chen's family was founded by Chen Yuanheng and his wife. His mother-in-law died without entering the house of the Xiao Chen family.

Chen Yuanheng's three sons and daughters are all outside and rarely come back, and the family population is simple and very clean. Therefore, the wife's proposal is correct, and it is safest to let her daughter stay in Xiao Chen's house.

Zhao Chongli was a little embarrassed and said: "You and Zhenzhen should make this matter clear." Also, we have to prepare more generous gifts for Xiao Chen's family, although our two families are in-laws, we are still a little embarrassed to trouble people so much. ”

Mrs. Han smiled and said, "As long as Grandpa agrees, I'll prepare all the gifts." These are very precious gifts. Moreover, before, my younger sister Wen Hui had already written to me. The county lord of Wen Hui has already agreed with Old Madam Bai about this matter. With the face of the county lord of Wenhui, Mrs. Bai will definitely do her best to cherish us. Besides, we Zhenzhen are good-natured, intelligent, and very likable. Mrs. Bai is an old feudal monarch, although there are sons, daughters, granddaughters, grandsons, and grandchildren, but they are all in the northwest or overseas, and their knees are empty, and Zhenzhen can also relieve the boredom of Mrs. Bai. ”

Zhao Chongli thought about it and said: "When Zhenzhen passes in the future, we will also visit often, after all, the child is entrusted to others, and we, as the younger generation, should always do our filial piety." Speaking of which, I am ashamed, obviously when the second brother went out of Beijing, he once instructed me to ask me to greet his father-in-law and mother-in-law often when I was in the capital. Chen Yuanheng is a common person for me, and I often socialize together, and the relationship has always been very good. However, Mrs. Bai neglected to take care of it. ”

Mrs. Han said with a smile: "Grandpa is busy with official business every day, where do I have time to take care of this, I have a close relationship with Mrs. Bai, I often go to Xiao Chen's house, and I often take a few daughters to visit her." Her old man was very kind to our daughters, including the concubines, and often rewarded them with things, especially Zhenzhen. Because she has been there a lot of times in the past few years, Zhenzhen is no stranger to Xiao Chen's family at all, that is, the maids, grandmothers, and Zhenzhen around the old lady are very familiar. ”

Zhao Chongli has never paid attention to these trivial matters. Because the Han family is very capable, he has made these people very reasonable, and he doesn't have to worry about it. So he didn't know that. When I heard this at this moment, I was even more glad that I was really lucky to marry such a good wife. Back then, because he was the eldest son, his mother, Mrs. Zhao, asked him to marry his aunt's daughter, so that he could continue to take care of her mother's family, but his father, Lao Zhongyi, did not allow it, so he went directly to the door to ask the Han family's daughter-in-law, Han, to come over.

is still a father with vision, Han is really a good wife and mother. If I had married my aunt's daughter back then, I might have been in a restless house now, and I would have been dragged down a lot. Zhao Chongli's gaze at his wife was much softer.

Zhao Chongli said: "Thanks to you all these years, it's good to have you." ”

Mrs. Han didn't notice her husband's thoughts, she said, "These are all things that a concubine should do." By the way, let's go to Xiao Chen's house tomorrow to prepare, is grandpa just going to my aunt in the backyard? I still have some things to take care of, so I'll ask the maid to bring you a lamp and light the way. ”

Zhao Chongli originally wanted to go to the newly accepted concubine. However, after saying that before, and then facing Mrs. Han, Zhao Chongli was embarrassed to say that he wanted to go to the concubine, he said: "It's getting late, and there is business tomorrow, so I won't bother, just rest in the main room." ”

Mrs. Han said, "But I still have to prepare a gift for tomorrow?" ”

Zhao Chongli walked to the inner room and said, "You prepare, I will also take a bath, and after I take a bath, I think you are ready." ”

After speaking, she walked to the clean room, and Mrs. Han shook her head and smiled.

The next day, Zhao Chongli sent a servant to Yamen to ask for leave, sorted it out, and went to Xiao Chen's house with rich gifts with Mrs. Han.

After coming back, Zhao Chongli looked happy, and after he entered the inner room, he said: "Old Madam Bai is really a respectable elder, she has no arrogance at all, and treats people so kindly. It's really admirable. If Zhenzhen can study with her for a while, it will definitely be very beneficial. ”

Mrs. Han said: "That's the ability of Mrs. Bai, that is affirmed by the Queen Mother." Mrs. Mingzhu is now the head of the ladies team in the capital, why is she so powerful, it is trained by Mrs. Bai. There is also the previous Lord of Wen'an, who was also trained by Mrs. Bai. If Zhenzhen really had that day, the road she would have walked would be much more difficult than that of ordinary people, and everything would have been fine if she hadn't been selected as a concubine. Look at the queen mother, she is now the most noble woman in the world, and she is not walking on thin ice? ”

"This road is even more difficult than in the court, and you still need to learn more from Old Madam Bai. Otherwise, not to mention the glory of the ancestors, it is possible to even affect the family. ”

This Zhao Chongli still understands. Zhao Chongli nodded cautiously and said, "Let's go see Zhenzhen, we have to talk to her well, we must study hard, and we must be filial to Mrs. Bai." ”

Mrs. Han said, "Exactly, let's go over now." ”

The husband and wife went to their daughter and talked bitterly. Zhao Zhenzhen is a reasonable person, and she can also understand the hard work of her parents, and she is also very happy to learn that she can go to Xiao Chen's house to study. Although she is young, she is already very sensible, she has read a lot of books, and she has heard a lot of things in the circle of nobles in the capital. If I could get the guidance of Mrs. Bai, it would be much better. This is something that no one else can think of. She listened to her parents very carefully and said that she would definitely study hard. I will definitely obey Mrs. Bai's words and be filial to Mrs. Bai.

Seeing such a sensible and obedient woman, Mrs. Han and Zhao Chongli were very pleased. (To be continued......)
