Zhao Xiu changed to a small courtyard on the other side of the East Road, and continued to entertain the occasional female guests who came to the door to offer condolences.

There are few female guests, and Zhao Xiu is actually copying scriptures most of the time. Cao's mother didn't want to face the old master of the Zhong family anymore, and she would be ridiculed anyway, so she came with her, holding a pen and paper and slowly copying the scriptures. Her handwriting is far less good than Zhao Xiu's, it is barely neat, and her writing is relatively slow, but the speed of copying scriptures today is at least three times slower than usual. The smoke and rain on the side have all copied a copy, and she has only written a few lines.

Zhao Xiu knew that she was worried about the side of the guest house, so he persuaded her: "Those are all clowns who jump off the beam, no matter what they do, they can't become the climate." What else can they do besides crying in front of people about how deep their relationship with the princess is, how good the princess is to them, and how bad the funeral in the palace is? Now that they are isolated from ordinary visitors, the big deal is that they are shouting loudly to find a sense of zài, and their mother doesn't really have to take them to heart. ”

The door of the guest house is guarded by a powerful servant, and the Zhong family's daughters go in, so don't think about coming out lightly. As long as the door leading to that side is closed, even if the guests who come to mourn hear the movement, they will not be nosy and insist on running to the courtyard to see. There are still relatively few people like Grandma Wang in this world.

Mother Cao sighed, put down the pen, tore up the miscopied scriptures, and said with a sad face: "If it was just the Zhong family here, I would naturally not be worried, but now even Grandma Wang is over there, I am afraid that she will not send someone to serve us when she sees us, and no one will be allowed to visit us if she does not invite a doctor." When I go home, I will speak ill of the prince and the prince everywhere. ”

Zhao Xiu frowned and said, "I have already made it clear to her just now, even if she didn't know it before." It's time to know that the Zhong family is not right, right? Do you want to blame the prince and the prince for this? ”

"Miss Zhao doesn't know." Yanyu interjected and said, "Grandma Wang has always cared about the affairs of the court. Her mother's family is wealthy, relying on a good aunt, and married to Shangshu Mansion as a young grandmother, her husband is a kind person, she has never had any troubles in her life, and every day the family cares about the trivial things in the family. Or eat, drink, and be merry. In the past, when she came to the palace to see the princess, she once praised a girlfriend in her girlfriend for her aesthetic greetings and noble temperament. No one was able to do it, and he said that he would bring that sweet friend to visit the princess. In fact, the woman also married into the clan, but her husband was a party of King Ying, and he had always been at odds with our prince. When the prince abdicated. also openly ridiculed outside, the princess hated him very much, and had already broken off relations with his family, so when she heard Grandma Wang say something like that, she really couldn't cry or laugh in her heart, and she didn't want to invite her to come to the door again. I don't know if Grandma Wang knows about it herself. ”

Zhao Xiu was speechless when she heard this, dare to love that this grandmother Wang is a person who is not sensitive to politics and has no eyes? In this way, you can still travel widely, and it is really a blessing for a good father-in-law and a good mother-in-law, right?

She thought for a moment. said to Cao's mother: "Since Grandma Wang is this kind of person, it is useless to reason with her." simply call someone from the Wang family to pick her up. Since Wang Shangshu can win the trust of the new monarch. can be in the position of Shangshu, he must be a smart person. Let him know that his daughter-in-law is mixed with the Zhong family, and he is also scolding the prince and the prince, so he will know how to discipline his daughter-in-law. ”

Cao's mother thought about it, so she ordered someone to go to the front yard to spread the word.

In front of the mourning hall in the front yard, Master Zhong's father and son and Second Master Zhong were talking to the head of the palace and subordinate officials. Led by Master Zhong, he tried to meddle in the affairs of the mourning hall several times, either because the furnishings were not good enough, or because the monks and Taoists invited were not high-end enough, and wanted to change a batch. The governor of the palace and his subordinates all took his words as a deaf ear.

When a male guest came to mourn, Master Zhong immediately rushed to the spiritual seat to stage a mourning show, although most of the visitors knew his identity, they did not mean to care, and hurriedly left after the incense, so as not to be entangled by him, but it was inevitable that people who did not know the inside story were deceived by them, and felt that the princess's brother was really a brother and sister, and he had to come forward to comfort a few words. Seeing this, the people of the palace were all blocked in their hearts, and when the guests left, the palace diners immediately came forward and directly invited the men of the Zhong family to the side room to watch the tea.

Master Zhong refused to go, and only held on to the princess's spiritual position. Second Master Zhong raised his sleeves to wipe his tears with some embarrassment, and Zhong Yazhuo knelt down directly, hanging his head low, trying not to let people see his face. The head of the palace saw that his face was elongated, and after a while, Cao's mother sent someone to whisper a few words to him, and his face softened, and he secretly ordered someone to go to Wang's house to deliver the message.

When the next guest came to the door again, Master Zhong staged a crying and mourning show again, shouting loudly, "Sister, why did you go so early!" What should I do with my mother and me? Suddenly, a mother-in-law rushed to report: "Oh no, uncle, the old lady vomited blood and fainted again, go over and see her!" Master Zhong suddenly stopped crying and looked at the woman in a daze.

No one knows better than him that his own mother's health is fine, and she pretended to faint before, how could she vomit blood? The people of the palace must be lying!

But even if he knew this in his heart, what was the use? The guest who didn't know the inside story was staring at him: "Lord Zhong, the old lady is sick, don't worry too much, go over and take a look at the situation first, maybe it's just a panic, in fact, it's not too strict?" Master Zhong was speechless, at this time, he really couldn't continue to rely on the mourning hall. So he had no choice but to take his son to the guest house with the mother-in-law, but hinted that the second master Zhong stayed. Second Master Zhong didn't move, Old Mrs. Zhong was his aunt, not his own mother, and it was nothing if he didn't go.

Master Zhong's father and son are gone, don't think about going back to the mourning hall, and after a while, the Wang family also came to pick up Grandma Wang, and it was Young Master Wang who came over in person. The subordinates of the royal palace went to the guest house to invite people, and when Grandma Wang came out, she was still indignant and complained to her husband: "How did the king of Guangping discipline his subordinates? Look at the attitude of those Diao slaves towards Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong! Young Master Wang couldn't wait to cover her mouth and whispered, "Don't say it again." Then he lowered his head and bowed his hand to the palace: "I'm sorry, I'm clumsy and ignorant, I'm offended." Grandma Wang looked at him in shock.

Wang Fu Dianshan said slowly: "It's okay, the eldest grandmother is still young." Few people have seen today's events, as long as the Zhong family doesn't talk nonsense, they won't implicate the house. It's just that the eldest prince should still restrain his relatives a lot. Don't talk nonsense about what you shouldn't say, don't be charged with a crime that shouldn't be blamed, and don't pull it on your head in a daze. It is not easy for Wang Shangshu to be an official, and if he calls the ignorant juniors in the family to have a good official reputation for decades, it will be too wronged. ”

Young Master Wang was ashamed and ashamed, saluted again, and quickly pulled Grandma Wang away. Regardless of his wife's questioning, "What's wrong with you?" He only thought in his heart that he still had to introduce his wife to the situation between the DPRK and China. In the past, whenever he wanted to speak, his wife was always impatient to listen. Then he laughed about the interesting story of the boudoir, and he forgot about it. Now that I think about it, if they are such an official eunuch, if the female relatives in the family have no brains. That's just too lethal. His father was already in his early forties. Some people want to pull him down, at this time, how can they let their wives offend nobles outside? There is also the Zhong family, knowing that his wife's temperament has always been unfamiliar with government affairs, and he wants to use his wife, which is really hateful!

Young Master Wang resented the Zhong family, and even Zhong Yazhuo, who had a good relationship in the past. He was also put into the circle of unbefriendables.

The Zhong family was locked up in a guest house and isolated from the outside world. No matter how noisy they were, no one paid attention. Master Zhong and Mrs. Zhong finally came to their senses, and the people of the palace invited them to the guest house, which was a trap in itself. Now only two or three guests know about their condolences, and if the news cannot spread, won't their plan be in vain?

Zhong Yazhuo couldn't help but say to his parents: "It's okay now, when my uncle comes back from the palace, I don't know what to do with us." Knowing this, it was better to resign honestly and return to the township that day. That way, my aunt wouldn't die, my father wouldn't be stigmatized, and my sister's reputation wouldn't be damaged. How could our family fall into such a situation at this moment?! ”

Zhong Yazhi was sobbing on the side, crying even more sadly when she heard the words. Master Zhong paced back and forth with a headache, and glared at his wife again: "It's all your good idea, you hurt your daughter, you hurt me, and now you want to harm our family, and even your son's future will be ruined by you!" ”

Mrs. Zhong said angrily: "You blame me now? Did I marry my daughter to the Sixth Prince? Am I going to support the rebels? You are the one who refuses to resign! When you see that things don't go the way you think, blame me. ”

"Let's all say less!" Mrs. Zhong stopped her son and daughter-in-law with a gloomy face, especially her daughter-in-law, "He's annoying enough, you still have to quarrel with him, and you don't want to think about what the two children will do in the future, are you still reasonable?!" ”

Mrs. Zhong was aggrieved and angry in her heart, so she sat down beside her daughter and did not talk to her mother-in-law and husband. Mrs. Zhong pulled her son: "What should I do next?" It's really not good, when your brother-in-law comes back, it's a big deal for me to kowtow to him, as long as he can dissipate his anger and no longer embarrass you, what does it matter if my wife suffers some grievances? Master Zhong was very moved: "Mother! ”

Zhong Yazhuo rubbed the corners of her forehead with a headache, and Mrs. Zhong Er tried to reduce her sense of storage and moved out of the door. She is completely an innocent passerby, she is a pond fish that has been affected, King Guangping can deal with Master Zhong's family as much as he wants, don't count her in.

The second master Zhong in the mourning hall is also worthy of being the husband of the second wife Zhong, and he is also turning the same thought in his heart. He had already sensed the hostility of the Guangping Palace, and he had already resigned from his official position and was ready to return to his hometown, and he was not so obsessed with power, but he was confused for a while, and he was moved by his cousin's words in a few words, but now he regrets it a long time ago. He tentatively said to the head of the palace: "There are still children at home, they are all young, and they are also a little unwell today, and their parents are not there, so I am afraid that there will be a mistake." I'd like to go back and have a look with Humble Jing first. The tone is indescribably cautious and humble.

The Guangping Royal Mansion doesn't have to go against the Zhong family, as long as the Zhong family doesn't come, they are too lazy to deal with it. The head of the palace saw that Second Master Zhong was still well-behaved, smiled, and whispered a few words to his subordinates, and then someone sent Second Master Zhong out of the mansion.

He only waited in front of the gate of the palace for a short while, and Mrs. Zhong also came out with a panicked face, and the couple looked at each other, both breathed a sigh of relief, and without saying a word, they got into the car and went home. As for the carriage and subordinates of the long house, they didn't care, and even on the way home, they were discussing, should they take their children out of the capital tomorrow and go back to their hometown? If it weren't for the double white matter of the country's mourning and family mourning, they would have returned to their hometown long ago.

The Zhong family closed the pass, and the palace breathed a sigh of relief. In the next two days, if the Zhong family still wants to make trouble, then in addition to providing a "light diet" of three meals a day, the palace will not take care of them, if the Zhong family wants to leave, then it is no problem, leave directly from the side door of the guest house, do not have to go back to the front yard, save them from making trouble again.

In the evening, when Zhao Xiu was about to go home, he specially instructed Cao's mother: "If the Zhong family really wants to leave, just in case, it is better to let the doctor in the house check the old lady's pulse, and it is best to find someone to testify that when their family left, the old lady's health was fine." Save them from going back, and there are rumors that the palace is arrogant and makes the old lady sick, which is more and more entangled. ”

Cao's mother hurriedly said solemnly: "Don't worry, girl, I will take care of it, and I will tell the manager in a while." ”

Zhao Xiu got in the car and went home with confidence, and got off in front of the house, she suddenly found that there were many familiar people in the front yard, and she was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed into the main courtyard: "Grandmother! You're finally here! (To be continued......)
