Chapter 165: A Pear Blossom Brings Spring Rain
Mrs. Zhong Er soon came to the Guangping Palace, and when she saw Gao Zhen, she couldn't hide the smile on her face, as if she had made the Changfang family miserable. Gao Zhen didn't bother to talk to her more, only asked her to pay attention when she spoke, her mother's illness has been recurrent recently, and she is not in a good mood, so Mrs. Zhong Er should not be too sad, and it is best not to talk for too long, so as not to tire her own mother. Mrs. Zhong Er was busy agreeing, so she followed Cao's mother to the backyard.
Gao Zhen frowned and returned to the upper room, he was still more willing to talk to Zhao Xiu, so he specially left the person behind, and discussed with her how to renovate the Jiannan Hou Mansion to save time and money: "When the Ministry of Industry built the house, there were complete drawings, and now just let them take out the drawings and check them again, where they need to be repaired, it is naturally clear at a glance." When the house was built, the old county prince was still on the marquis, but he was only a first-class marquis. Now, although Brother Wei is only a second-class marquis, there will be no problem if he repairs according to the previous drawings. When the crown prince ascends the throne, he will definitely be grateful, and then Brother Wei will be promoted to the first class. It also saves the fact that the house has been repaired according to the second-class grade now, and when it rises in the future, it will have to be changed again. β
Zhao Xiu suddenly realized and thought it was true. This kind of thing seems a little unruly, but there is a sentence that is difficult to say, but everyone understands it. That is, the emperor probably won't last long, and it is estimated that the emperor will be changed within this year. It will take a few months to repair the house, and when it is repaired, the new monarch will also take the throne, and the will of Grace will come down, who will investigate whether your house was in accordance with the rules when it was repaired in the first place?
As he was talking, an urgent report suddenly came from the door: "The girl from the Zhong family is here." β
Zhao Xiu was a little stunned when he heard it. Miss Chung's watch? That's ...... It is very likely that he will marry the former six princes and the Marquis of Shanyin today? The second wife of the Zhong family just went to pit this niece in front of Princess Zhong of Guangping. Could it be that the party chased after him and beat someone?
encountered such exciting gossip, Zhao Xiu tried very hard to hide his curiosity and secretly looked at Gao Zhen's expression. Gao Zhen's eyebrows were twisted into a knot. Her face darkened: "What is she here for?" Do you want to see your mother? Don't! Tell her to go home! β
The servant turned back to speak, but soon there was a commotion at the front door, and then a group of people rushed towards the upper room. said that it was a "group" of people, because the group of people seemed to be in a group, among them a beautiful girl in a moon-white dress cried and cried this way, and there was a girl behind her who helped her all the way and cried all the way "Girl, don't think about it", "Girl." If you do go, what if you call the old lady, the old lady, the old man, the old lady and the old man? Around her, there was a circle of mothers-in-law from the Guangping Palace, all of whom stopped her from going inside. But she didn't dare to use strong methods, so she cried and bumped all the way, and ran to the bottom of the steps in front of the upper room.
Fortunately, these mothers-in-law are not confused, and they pulled the girl's sleeve alive. didn't let her rush into the house again. The beautiful girl struggled. But he couldn't break free from the clutches of his mother-in-law, and suddenly cried even more sadly, and as soon as his feet were weak, he fell softly on the steps and cried. Her girl simply cried and pounced on her: "Girl, why are you so miserable?!" While crying, he scolded those mothers-in-law: "You don't have long eyes, our girl is a person who is ice clear and jade, can you pull it casually?" Why don't you let it go?! The mothers-in-law looked at each other and hesitantly let go.
Zhao Xiu was stunned in the room. Gao Zhen's face darkened, and he only felt that his subordinates were not powerful. caused him to lose face in front of Zhao Xiu. He stood up abruptly and walked to the door, and didn't look at Zhong Yazhi, who was crying on the steps, only glared at a few mothers-in-law: "What the hell is going on?" I have a guest here, how can you let people in at will and bump into your guests?! β
The mother-in-law hurriedly knelt down and asked for sin: "The prince forgives the sin, the cousin asks to see, the little ones are all according to the master's instructions, ask her to go back, but she insists on rushing in, the little ones are afraid of hurting the petite guests, and they dare not stop them, so they will collide with the distinguished guests, and they are all small ones." Outside the words, Zhong Yazhi was a little dark.
Zhong Yazhi cried even louder, and while crying, he secretly looked into the house, wondering who this "distinguished guest" was. But Gao Zhen stood right in front of the door, blocking her view, and she didn't dare to make it too obvious, so she didn't see anything, so she could only continue to cry, crying more and more pitifully.
Gao Zhen continued to pretend not to see it, and only taught the mother-in-law: "Since you know that it is your own, you should quickly take people away!" What does a noisy noise look like? Carefully passed to the back, disturbing the mother's recuperation. The mother-in-law hurriedly responded, and they reached out to pull Zhong Yachi, and pulled her girl first.
The girl suddenly shouted loudly: "Lord Shizi, how can you be like this? Our girl is your cousin, and she cried so wrongedly that you didn't even ask, and you wanted to drive her away. In the past, you didn't care about it at all?! β
"Lianzhu, don't talk about it." Zhong Yazhi said with tears in her eyes, "My cousin just annoyed our family, who told my little uncle to participate in the rebellion and almost hurt my cousin?" β
The girl named Lianzhu cried and hugged Zhong Yazhi: "My poor girl, what is the little sister-in-law going to do, how can you know?" Now that I've been implicated, I really have nowhere to complain! Zhong Yazhi listened more aggrieved, and cried more and more breathlessly.
When Zhao Xiu heard this in the back room, he really had a stomach full of noise and wanted to vomit, but considering Gao Zhen's face, he could only hold back. She really wanted to know, what did this Zhong Yazhi want to do when he ran to Gao Zhen and cried so pitifully? Did she want to have some sympathy and ask Gao Zhen to help her resist the second aunt who wanted to trap her? But this kind of thing can obviously only be regarded as an internal struggle of the Zhong family, Gao Zhen basically has no good impression of the Zhong family, how can he get involved in the struggle between her and her second aunt?
Sure enough, Gao Zhen continued to be indifferent in the face of Zhong Yazhi's crying master and servant, he just instructed his mother-in-law: "Invite the cousin girl out." Then the mothers-in-law came up and beat them.
Zhong Yazhi no longer cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, she broke away from her mother-in-law's hand, and said to Gao Zhen with tears in her eyes: "Cousin, I know that you resent my family in your heart, and I am speechless. Although we don't know my uncle's plan, he is borrowing the face of our family. I deceived the prince and my cousin into trusting you. I can't argue with the responsibility of our whole family for negligence. I...... I would like to represent my whole family. I apologize to you for my sins......" said and fell to the ground, really making a big bow to Gao Zhen.
Gao Zhen's eyebrows moved slightly, and he didn't let people stop her actions, but accepted her salute frankly.
Zhong Yazhi finished his salute, raised his head again, and tears flashed in his eyes again: "Cousin, my former marriage contract with the Marquis of Shanyin." Not my intention, I dare not lie, elder of the family. Truly...... There are their selfish motives. It's just that at that time, for me, as long as a daughter of the Zhong family was selected, it was enough. Sister Yaqing's age, in fact, is more suitable than me to be the sixth princess. I'm just a companion for her. After all, I used to go to the palace often, and I was always more familiar with Sister Yaqing, and we could take care of each other in the palace. But who would have thought that Sister Yaqing would fall and crutches her foot before entering the palace? Zhu Lifei spoiled the harem, she specially ordered to summon the daughter of the Zhong family to see, if Sister Yaqing didn't go, I wouldn't go. Didn't you offend her? The Zhong family can't afford to take this risk! I'm more worried that it will be because of my Zhong family. Even the Guangping Mansion is not treated by her, how can I afford it? That's why I entered the palace alone, where did I think that Zhu Lifei would choose me? β
As she spoke, tears began to fall, as if she had reached a sad point: "When the will comes, I feel like a bolt from the blue." I am also the home of the eunuch and the pearl in my palm, and I have my aunt to cherish me, so why worry about not having a good marriage in the future? Speaking of this, she secretly glanced at Gao Zhen, and there was a lot of affection in her eyes, "...... How did you end up as a concubine? After saying this, the whole person exuded an aura of sadness and despair, and his gaze at Gao Zhen became even more resentful: "It's just that the saint has an order, and the elders in the family are also happy, I don't dare to say what is in my heart." Later, the Marquis of Shanyin succeeded me and was imprisoned, and I would give up from now on as a marriage, where did I think that the second aunt would have a resentment towards me because of the fact that Yaqing's sister was not selected as the sixth princess, and actually slandered in front of my aunt? β
She cried so much that she seemed to faint at any time: "The events of the day are really not what I want, the second aunt herself has changed her mind, and she doesn't want Sister Yaqing to marry the Marquis of Shanyin, why do you have to push me up?" Doesn't she know that once I marry into the Marquis of Shanyin, I may never be able to come out again in this life?! It's all a family, why be in a hurry to fry each other?! β
When she asked this sentence in a hissed voice, her whole body seemed to collapse, and her body fell back, just falling into the arms of the girl named Lianzhu, and she closed her eyes. Lianzhu cried miserably and called out to her: "Girl, girl, wake up quickly!" Girl, what's wrong with you?! Then he begged Gao Zhen: "Lord Shizi, our girl has fainted, please hurry up and ask a doctor to come and take a look." Our girl is so sad that she hasn't eaten a grain of rice in a few days! β
Gao Zhen glanced at her and instructed the mothers-in-law: "Carry her to the guest room." The mother-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to help people, but somehow, Zhong Yazhi's whole body was weak and boneless, but she was dead, and everyone couldn't help her up. Lianzhu cried again: "What can I do about this? We're going to be okay with our girl, right? Lord Shizi, our girl is only afraid that it is inconvenient to move, why don't you? Will you just help her into this house? β
Gao Zhen flicked his sleeves coldly: "Since it's inconvenient to move, let her continue to lie here!" Then he turned and went inside.
Lianzhu didn't dare to say more, so she could only let the mother-in-law carry her girl in the direction of the guest house. This time, the mother-in-law worked together, but they lifted the bell elegantly.
Gao Zhen returned to the house, and Zhao Xiu asked him, "Why do I think it's weird?" Your cousin seems to have shifted all the blame to the elders, but she herself is completely innocent, everything is arranged by others, but in fact, she is not willing to do it? β
Gao Zhen said calmly: "Whether she wants it or not, only she knows, but what does it have to do with me?" β
That's right, whether Zhong Yazhi wants it or not, things are already like this, take 10,000 steps back and say, if it was the sixth prince who won the coup d'Γ©tat, I'm afraid she might not say what she didn't want to say, right? If she really doesn't want to be selected as the concubine of the sixth prince, and is really just a companion for her cousin, she can be a little mediocre. Zhu Lifen wants to choose a wife and concubine for her biological son, will she look down on a mediocre girl? As long as she didn't win, how could she fall into such an embarrassing field today?
Then again, for the sake of power, the Zhong family can be ruthless to their own grandson, what can they do in order to escape from an unfavorable marriage? Zhao Xiu is still a little wary of the Zhong family's daughter. Besides, Zhong Yazhi's crying and fainting just now were too deliberate. Maybe others don't think it's a problem, but she is used to watching dramas in novels and TV, and she has her own natural radar for things like acting. She felt that Zhong Yazhi was pretending.
So she reminded Gao Zhen: "Your cousin may be married to the Marquis of Shanyin soon, although it sounds pitiful, but this is a matter in the palace, you can't be the master anyway, it's better not to get too close to her." Before she was selected to become the concubine of the Six Princes, there seemed to be rumors that she was going to marry you. If it is passed to the palace, it will inevitably cause complications, and it will be difficult for the prince to do it. "To choose a wife for Shanyin, Zhong Yazhi is really the best candidate, he was going to marry him, if he chooses another daughter from a family, wouldn't it hurt a good girl?
Gao Zhen's face turned a little colder: "That's completely nothing, my cousin and I have never had a marriage contract, don't listen to rumors." β
Zhao Xiu smiled: "I naturally don't believe it, if you really have a marriage contract, the palace must know that Zhu Lifei can still choose her as her son's side concubine?" I'm just reminding you to stay away from her. β
Gao Zhen's expression softened a lot: "Don't worry, I will never approach her." (To be continued......)
