"Mother." Ji Shengjin said helplessly: "How can it be child's play to choose a son-in-law? ”

He shook his head again and said, "Mother, you only fancy Mu Changyao's appearance and appearance, but mother, have you ever thought carefully about whether these are suitable for your sister?" ”

Zhou's brows frowned slightly, and Chi Mingzhen's eyes flickered, and her white teeth bit her lower lip, making a sad and helpless look.

She is beautiful, and such a look on her face will only make people feel sorry for her and feel pity for her; And she has always been the best at using her beauty, and her mother and eldest brother are the most ungrateful to see her being wronged. In the past, if you saw her mourning, eighty percent of the things that would be distressed depended on yourself, but this time she ignored herself completely.

Ji Mingzhen's little face turned pale and pale, and her face was even more ugly, she wanted to be coquettish and open her mouth to refute her eldest brother's words, but after Ji Shengjin's merciless reprimand just now, she didn't dare to speak lightly.

Her eldest brother is really not a good stubble. As he has been in the army for a long time, the military prestige of the eldest brother has also grown, and he can be regarded as the only one in the mansion in the past few years. The majesty and evil spirit are naturally much inferior to that of his father, the Marquis of Zhongyong, but it is enough to deter all the ladies in the inner court.

Not only that, but I don't know if the eldest brother wants to make the second room and the old lady jealous of him, and his methods have become more and more ruthless in the past two years, which makes people unpredictable at the same time, and his scalp is numb when he thinks about it.

A year ago, the eldest brother had been picked up by the second lady, and threw his favorite dagger into the brazier, when he was only five years old, the sixth son of the Hou Mansion - Brother Yan, the youngest son of the Lin family in the second room, hung on the tree for two hours in the cold winter and the moon, and it was useless for anyone to intercede, until Brother Yan witnessed his favorite dagger being melted down in the brazier, and the eldest brother put the person down unhurriedly.

After that, not to mention that Brother Yan trembled when he saw his eldest brother, and even when the second lady met his eldest brother, he couldn't take a detour.

The eldest brother who said this was ecstatic when he revealed information that would make her wish come true; But now the eldest brother said that "Mu Changyao is not a good match", which means that he will not plan for her in the future, and he will also prevent his mother's idea of "sister exchange", Ji Mingzhen is annoyed, angry, hateful and helpless, her sad eyes are red, and she wants to cry, "Big brother, how can he not be suitable for me?" Big brother, you can't be untrustworthy, you said you would help me......"

Chi Shengjin insisted on going her own way, as if she had a headache for Mu Changyao's sister. If it weren't for the fact that there was still the most intimate blood relationship between the two, he would immediately want to throw off his face and leave.

But in the end, this is the sister he has loved since he was a child, and Chi Shengjin had to be patient, and said to Chi Mingzhen word by word with a calm face: "You don't believe that Mu Changyao is not your good match?" Okay, then the big brother will be separated today and tell you thoroughly. ”

Ji Mingzhen had expectations on his face, but he couldn't hide his panic. He knew that if the eldest brother separated the reasons for a while, he would really not help her plan again in the future; But she also had a little thought in her heart, and maybe what the eldest brother said was just one-sided......

Mu Changyao didn't care what she was thinking, but he had already lowered his voice and spoke little by little. "Let's not talk about whether Mu Changyao is a good match, the eldest brother will tell you first that if you marry into the Anguo Mansion, it is a question of whether you can survive or not."

Seeing the look of disbelief on Chi Mingzhen's face, and the sudden and solemn flashes on his mother's face for a moment, Chi Shengjin didn't care, but continued: "You know that Mu Changyao is the eldest son of the Duchess of Anguo, Mu Xie, and it stands to reason that he is a well-deserved son of the Duke of Anguo, the future grandfather of the country. But Mu Changyao is now fourteen years old, why do you still call him by the name of 'Third Prince'? Why hasn't An Guogong asked for the title of son for his eldest son so far? ”

Ji Shengjin snorted lightly and said, "Big brother also got the news last night. It turned out that the current Duke An Guo also had a noble concubine, and that noble concubine was the concubine of the Cao family, the secretary of the ministry, although her background was not as noble as the Mu Xie family, but the Cao family's father was really powerful. The Cao family gave birth to three sons for An Guogong, the eldest son is only two years younger than Chi Shengjin, and he is the most favored, and An Guogong has always intended to establish the eldest son of the Cao family as the son. And the eldest brother also inquired that the Cao family also got the power of the Anguo Mansion at the beginning of the year, and now he is presiding over the middle feed of the Anguo Mansion as the head of the family. Otherwise, why do you say that a married daughter of the Musher clan would live in her mother's house for more than a month, and her husband's family would let her do this and ignore her? The Anguo Mansion almost lost her foothold. ”

"Let's not say that if you really marry in the past, with your little catty, there will definitely be no bones left that will be gnawed by the Cao family at that time, just because the inner house of the Anguo Mansion is so smoky, the eldest brother will not agree to marry you. There is no distinction between concubines and concubines, spoiled concubines and wives, restless inner houses, and endless fighting, which is the root of the disaster! ”

Breathing slightly, he said, "This is one of them." ”

He also said: "Second, you know that the biological father of the county lord of Shaohua, the concubine of the eldest princess of Changle, Mu Yuncheng, is the second brother of the current Anguo Gong's mother, and he is a civil and military all-rounder, and he is the most amazing. Back then, someone once predicted that Mu Yuncheng was 'a general when he came out, and he could worship the prime minister', and he was a generation of geniuses. ”

However, the eldest brother had heard some secret news. said that An Guo was fair and mediocre, and the old prince of the country intended to set up his second son as the son of the world, but for some reason the news leaked, and then Mu Yuncheng made a mistake to the eldest princess of Changle. After marriage, he only received an idle errand, and his career was no longer able to advance, and he was depressed all his life. I heard that since then, the Changle Princess's Mansion has been inseparable from the Anguo Mansion, and she will never come and go unless she is a New Year's holiday. Thinking that Mu Yuncheng can still be the master, the current Duke An Guo has made great efforts. ”

"However, the eldest princess and the concubine have two sons under their knees, whether it is for the sake of their children, or the concubine is out of revenge, how can they not plan for the title of Duke of Anguo? After all, the eldest princess's grace is limited, and it is not as glorious as the hereditary title of Duke An Guo! According to the eldest brother, the eldest princess's mansion and Anguo's mansion have to fight in a good ring. There is the eldest princess's mansion on the side, and every word and deed is even more fearful, maybe a word will offend the eldest princess, and then annoy the queen mother, this is walking on the tip of the knife, sister, you look amazing, in fact, it's just a blank piece of paper, just a Cao family will let you cast a mouse bogey, and it is difficult to move an inch in the inner house, are you sure you can cope with the eldest princess's mansion? ”

"My sister's temperament is not suitable for being a clan wife, if you marry into a noble family, you can still protect yourself, Xungui's clan wife is not so easy to do, my sister still has to think about it clearly. This is the second one. ”

Chi Mingzhen was stunned when she heard this, but Zhou opened his mouth to retort, "After all, this is just your thoughts, just your speculation, and you can't take it seriously." ”

Ji Shengjin nodded obediently, "What the mother said is very true, this is indeed the son's speculation, but the mother can't deny that the son's speculation is indeed reasonable." ”
