Here, Mrs. Zhao secretly made a plan. Over there, Zhao Chongli pulled Zhao Chongxin out of Zhuangzi, got into his carriage, and told the coachman to rush to the city. On the way, Zhao Chongli said to his younger brother: "Third brother, you can't speak too much, you said the wrong thing for the first time, your mother loves you and is reluctant to blame you, you are not careful, and you have to make your mother angry again and again, and finally you will suffer a loss." ”

Mrs. Zhao is not good in other aspects, but she still sincerely loves her children. The three daughters are spoiled, and the youngest son is even more pampered, and he is never willing to give a finger to it. Therefore, this time Zhao Chongxin was beaten, and Zhao Chongxin himself felt very aggrieved.

Zhao Chongxin touched his face and said with some grievances: "What I said is not bad." Why is my mother so angry. ”

Zhao Chongli sighed and said, "Although mother is our mother, she is also a woman. You're still young, you don't understand, this woman is very different from men. Especially the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult relationship in the world. Don't say that there are unhappy things about mother and Chongyi. Even your sister-in-law is not less angry with her mother. In the future, if you marry, your daughter-in-law will definitely be angry with her mother. ”

Zhao Chongxin asked a little strangely: "How can this be?" The sister-in-law is so virtuous, and the second sister-in-law of the second brother's family has not yet passed the door, I heard that she is still not in time, and she is still a girl about the same age as me, where can she make her mother unhappy? ”

Zhao Chongli said: "What do you nerd know, between this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it's not who is virtuous, who is not virtuous, and who knows each other." The problem of being young and old, it's a hostile relationship, and it doesn't work in any way. In the future, you will understand when you marry. Or why do you think the in-laws of the Xiao Chen family would spend money to build the county lord's mansion and let your second brother live alone? People feel sorry for their daughter, and they are afraid that their daughter will be angry with their mother-in-law. ”

Zhao Chongxin said in disbelief: "Then won't I have to face such a thing in the future?" Wouldn't that hurt other girls? ”

Zhao Chongli said: "You can't say that. It's not that our mother is bad, in fact, the girl's family is like this everywhere she marries. Mother-in-law and daughters-in-law all over the world come over like this. You think when we were young, our mother was a daughter-in-law. When we were waiting for our grandmother. Isn't it careful? Haven't you been? That's how it all came over. So there is a saying that a daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for thirty years. ”

Zhao Chongxin shuddered and said, "Fortunately, we are men. Actually, I think what the in-laws said is very good. It would also be a good thing if the second brother got married in the county lord's mansion. ”

Zhao Chongli stretched his waist and said, "Who said it wasn't? Anyway, now my mother has no choice but to oppose it. The father had agreed. That's it. Wait a while, let's go back to the capital and tell your sister-in-law the good news. Your sister-in-law must be very happy too. ”

Zhao Chongxin asked: "Why are you happy?" ”

Zhao Chongli said: "Your second brother, this is a marriage given by the emperor. So. There are a lot of rules, and your sister-in-law is now presiding over the feed-in and is busy with housework. I have to be busy taking care of this matter again, and my feet are already on the ground. It's easy to get ready for the dowry. The next step is to prepare for the ceremony, prepare the banquet, clean the house, paint it, and get a new house for your second brother. That's a lot of things, you think it's easy. It's okay now, your second brother is no longer holding ceremonies in our mansion, and we have saved all of this, not only saving a lot of things, but also saving a lot of silver? ”

Zhao Chongxin asked: "I know how to save trouble." How much money can I save? Don't we still have to put wine on the table, what can it cost to paint a house? ”

Zhao Chongli said: "You are a nerd who only reads sage books and doesn't listen to things outside the window." You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Do you think it's going to cost less to paint the house? In general, it may not cost much. But, you know what? The county lord of Wenhui is a rich man, and the emperor has said before that she is the richest girl in Dachu. Can her dowry be less? Although I don't know how many there are now, it must be more than when Princess Lichuan got married. With so much dowry, where do we put it? The house given is small, isn't it a joke for the world? The dowry from the girl's family, our loyal and righteous Zhao family, can't even afford a place to put the dowry for the girl's family. ”

Saying this, Zhao Chongxin really thinks it's very important. If such a thing really happened, the Zhao family would not be laughed at to death. Zhao Chongli was still afraid that his younger brother would not understand, so he continued: "Also, I heard that when the county lord of Wenhui came back from Nanyang, he brought a boatload of men back. You look at the ordinary girl's family, the number of people who marry and accompany the marriage is at most two or four rooms and four maids. Back then, your sister-in-law's dowry was a lot. It's just that he married four personal maids and four people. However, if you look at the county lord of Wenhui, there is a sea ship just by manpower. Where do you put this? ”

Zhao Chongxin was not surprised and said: "It turns out that the county lord of Wenhui is so rich? The second brother will not be very happy in the future? ”

Zhao Chongli smashed his mouth and said, "That's not necessarily the case." Do you think it's a good thing that your wife has more dowries? There are more marriages, and of course the man's face is better. But with so many dowries like them, it's not good-looking, it's terrible. Do you think, in the future, the people around your second brother, from the guards to the maids, are all your second sister-in-law's people, can your second brother still be free? Your second brother will be eating your second sister-in-law's dowry for the next few lifetimes, you say, can your second brother still be able to stretch this day? The scariest thing is not this. The most terrifying thing is that although the Xiao Chen family is rich, the rules of the Xiao Chen family are also strange. No concubines are allowed. ”

Zhao Chongxin nodded abruptly and said, "Yes, how did I forget this, the second brother will only have the second sister-in-law alone in the rest of his life, which is also strange and pitiful." ”

Zhao Chongli looked his younger brother up and down, and couldn't help but say, "It seems that your kid is also a flower." What do you think? Already have a sweetheart at a young age? Who is it? ”

Zhao Chongxin blushed and said, "My sweetheart hasn't yet." However, I already have a big girl who is close to me. ”

Zhao Chongli slapped a fist on Zhao Chongxin's shoulder and said, "Good boy, you really have you." Does the mother know? ”

Zhao Chongxin grinned with painful red teeth and said, "Big brother, can't you be lighter?" I'm not a second brother, I have rough skin and thick meat. Although I have practiced some kung fu with my father during this period of time, can I compare with you who have been practicing like this for more than ten or twenty years? If you want to talk about this matter, it was actually arranged by my mother. That maid had also served my mother before, and my mother gave it to me. This is a trivial matter in front of the sons and brothers in the capital, and it is also a normal thing. How old am I this year? I'm also quite satisfied with that girl, now I'm in charge of things in my house, I'm cautious everywhere, I'm very careful, and I really can't leave her now. You can't let me take care of all the chores alone, can you? In fact, her color is ordinary, just a maid, and she doesn't need to be too pretty. So, I didn't take it seriously, but later, when my father knew about this matter, I didn't know why, and my father was furious. ”

Zhao Chongli said: "It's normal for my mother to do this kind of thing. Everyone's son-in-law, when he reaches the age, he will naturally put an older and more sensible maid in the house to make a room. Such maids are usually well-trained, attentive and thoughtful, and can manage everything in your house well. But the colors are just ordinary, so that the province will compete with the lady of the main room for favor in the future, and the sons and brothers of the province will be obsessed with women. The capital is like this. However, my father doesn't care about this, my father may think that your kung fu has not yet been completed, so you have broken the child's body, and it is unlikely that you will want to practice smart martial arts in the future. ”

Zhao Chongxin was dumbfounded and said, "How can there be such a thing?" Why didn't my father tell me in advance? ”

Zhao Chongli said: "It may be that my father forgot about it before. But this kind of martial arts training, my mother doesn't understand. Well, it's already happened, and it's useless to regret it. Anyway, you can't be a master in the future. However, with his father here, it is still possible to practice martial arts and strengthen his body. In the future, the three of us brothers, my martial arts are the highest is decided. The second is your second brother. You're at the bottom. ”

Zhao Chongxin couldn't help crying.

That night, before the city gate was closed, Zhao Chongxin was taken to the Zhongyi Mansion by Zhao Chongli. Zhao Chongli threw his depressed brother into his own yard and asked the maids to take care of him. went directly to his wife Han's upper room. I didn't think about comforting my brother at all.

After telling Han what had happened, Han was very happy and said, "I didn't expect it to be solved so easily." Well, there's a lot more we need to do next. I want to prepare some gifts first, go to Xiao Chen's house, visit the county lord of Wenhui, and get that medicine, we want to send it to Niangniang. At the same time, the family also had to prepare some places to find a place and start building a Taoist temple. Our family is not as rich as the county lord of Wenhui, and our family is not as high as Chen Guifei's mother, and it doesn't need to be too large. It's too big, and I can't catch up with the time, so don't make any mistakes in the middle. When the Taoist temple is built, maybe the Niangniang side has already received the will, and then she will be able to become a monk immediately. How nice. ”

Zhao Chongli groaned: "You think very thoughtfully. Ming'er, if you go to Xiao Chen's house, I will first go to our family to see all the Zhuangzi, if you can find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, you will settle down as soon as possible and build a Taoist temple. ”

Han nodded. Thinking of the conditions put forward by the Xiao Chen family that her husband said just now, she couldn't help but say: "Wen Hui is really happy, her parents love her so much." She was thoughtful, so that they didn't even have a wedding in our house, which saved us a lot of trouble and a lot of expenses. To be honest, although our family is still well-fed, the expenses are gradually increasing, but the income is getting smaller and smaller. If you can save some, it's some. (To be continued......)
