Chapter 4: The Succession of Successes

Zhou Jilin's footsteps were stagnant, where did he dare to go again, bowed down and said with a smile: "Why did the mother come to her son in person, if she had anything to say, the mother just asked her son to go over and give instructions, if he was working, how could his son afford it." ”

Although the eldest princess Jinghe is sixty years old, her body is tough, and she doesn't need to be supported by a maid, only Zhou Baolu pulled her sleeve, and the previous peace has long gone, tears flowed down her face, and she just cried with her head down.

A maid ran out of the main room, with an anxious face: "Madam...... Madame hit her head. ”

The eldest princess Jinghe's face changed, she glared at Zhou Jilin fiercely, turned back to Zhou Baolu and said, "Go and see your mother, I'll send someone to ask the doctor from the Tai Hospital to take a look." ”

Zhou Baolu nodded, and whispered another word, Jinghe eldest princess nodded, and touched her head: "Go ahead." ”

Looking at his mother's attitude towards her daughter and that glance, Zhou Jilin knew that what he had done was not in line with his mother's wishes, and he couldn't help but sweat a little, and Aunt Wang knew that it was not good when she saw Jinghe's eldest princess coming, and quietly took Zhou Anhua to hide behind.

The eldest princess Jing and the eldest princess did not plan to teach her son in this place where people come and go, but simply said, "Come to my house." ”

Zhou Jilin followed anxiously.

When she arrived at the Ningde Courtyard where the princess lived, the eldest princess Jinghe did not ask Zhou Jilin to sit down, Zhou Jilin naturally did not dare to sit, carefully took the hot tea sent by the maid, and handed it to the eldest princess Jinghe with respectful hands.

The eldest princess Jing and the eldest princess did not speak immediately, and after waiting for a while, a woman behind her lifted the curtain and came in, Zhou Jilin recognized that this was the female official Huang Nushi who was serving beside her mother, and the footsteps of Huang Nushi were the usual lightness and silence that the female history in the palace had been trained for a long time, but Jing and the eldest princess seemed to hear it, and tilted their heads slightly.

Huang Nushi replied softly: "The matter in the courtyard of the prince has been investigated by the slave maid. ”

Jinghe eldest princess nodded, and Huang Nushi was in front of Zhou Jilin, starting from Aunt Wang talking in the courtyard, and every move, word and deed after entering the house, she said it carefully.

Hearing these words, Zhou Jilin breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried that Aunt Wang had obvious disrespect for the Chen family and Zhou Baolu, although he could tolerate it, but his mother was the most rule-abiding person, and he must be unwilling.

Now I heard that it was Zhou Baolu who deliberately made trouble, and she deceived Aunt Wang, and the only problem was that Zhou Anhua rushed into his sister, but thinking that Zhou Anhua was only seven years old, it was nothing more than a good life in the future.

When the eldest princess Jinghe saw Zhou Jilin's face relaxed, she sighed in her heart, how could she raise such an idiot!

She asked, "Does it matter if Mrs. Shizi matters?" ”

Huang Nushi said: "Mrs. Shizi is also okay, but she just fell to the ground and touched a little, it doesn't matter, it's just that Mrs. is weak, I'm afraid I have to ask the doctor to take a look." ”

The eldest princess Jing and the eldest princess nodded, and asked Huang Nushi to retreat with the maids in the house, before she said to Zhou Jilin: "I heard that you actually wanted to ask for family law before?" ”

Zhou Jilin smiled and said: "Mother, what Aunt Huang said is not far from what her son heard before, and her son was not going to ask for family law before, he just thought that Sister Lu was reckless, she didn't know chastity, she acted arbitrarily, and she just wanted to teach her, but she didn't expect that her temperament is becoming more and more wild now, and her mother also heard it, and when her son said a word, she would reply ten sentences, how could she be a little bit like a daughter, so she thought about asking for family law and teaching her a lesson!" It's just that if the mother loves Sister Lu, this family is just that. ”

"Idiot!"

Jinghe's eldest princess's sentence made Zhou Jilin stunned, he felt that his disposal was not a big mistake, his daughter was not filial and disobedient, and she must be punished.

However, under the prestige of Jinghe and the eldest princess, where did Zhou Jilin dare to defend himself, and immediately knelt on the ground with a puff: "Please give my mother instructions." ”

Jinghe eldest princess said, "Let me ask you, which sentence did Lu'er say wrong?" ”

Zhou Jilin said a little expectantly: "She shouldn't take someone to raid the house, where is this like a girl......"

"You're stupid!" Jinghe eldest princess said categorically: "Lu'er is the eldest granddaughter of my princess's mansion, her status is precious, she wants the Wang family to hand over the cards, it is unreasonable, the Wang family also has to hand it over, there must be no slightest prevarication, let alone say a word, since the Wang family does not pay, she can ask someone to search it out, copy it out, you remember clearly, Lu'er is a young lady, Wang is just a concubine, what qualifications does she have to refute Miss's words?" Now for the sake of your aunt and concubine, you want to beat your daughter-in-law and your wife, which family's rules are this? ”

Zhou Jilin suddenly understood that although Zhou Baolu's affairs today looked reckless, she acted under the rules from beginning to end, but the Wang family was wrong about the rules, no wonder her mother wanted to stand up for Zhou Baolu.

Zhou Jilin hurriedly said: "Yes, it's my son who is confused, there is nothing wrong with Sister Lu, but my son thinks that although the rules are there, Sister Lu is a girl in the end, so reckless and pampered, and dare to contradict her father, I am afraid that there are still some deficiencies in the rules and regulations of this etiquette, and I have to ask for advice on raising my grandmother and teaching her." And even if he beat her, it was because of this, not because of the Wang family. ”

The eldest princess Jinghe sighed: "You! You still don't understand, where is this so simple, let me ask you, what did you do when you brought Chen back this time? ”

Zhou Jilin was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that this time his parents had discussed, took the Chen family back, opened the ancestral hall, and recorded Zhou Anhua under the name of the Chen family as his son-in-law.

Zhou Jilin finally connected today's events with this matter, his face slowly changed, he began to be a little red, and then became green and white, and became more and more green, and after a while, he finally said: "Is it ...... Could it be that ......, where does she understand these things as a child, and her mother is too worried? ”

The eldest princess Jinghe said: "She doesn't understand herself, but the prince of Wu'an doesn't understand either?" I think that by tomorrow at the latest, Mrs. Hou Shizi of Wu'an will come to see the Chen family, think about what to say. ”

Zhou Jilin gritted his teeth and said: "What does the inheritance of our family's title have to do with him as the prince of Wu'an, why should he care?" Mother, even if the Hou Shizi of Wu'an comes forward, he doesn't have such a long hand to take care of such things as our family, right? ”

Jinghe eldest princess said: "He naturally won't mention the matter of the half-word title, he just needs to stop the Chen family from recording the son of the Wang family in his name, you don't have a son-in-law, how difficult it is to ask for the title of prince in the future, don't you know the way?" ”

Seeing that Zhou Jilin's face was still a little indignant, the eldest princess Jinghe continued: "The situation of our family, you also know the Tao, when the first emperor was here, I didn't worry about the affairs of the prince, and the imperial brother will not make our family faceless, whether it is your brother, or you, your brother, these things are done smoothly." But how can it be compared to before? At the beginning, the first emperor's princes, our family stood in the wrong place, after the first emperor left, in front of the current saint, how much face can there be? Now the saint still looks at the face of the only sister of the first emperor, so he left the title of our family, and it is also for fear that people will say that filial piety is a loss. I look at it now, and I'm still alive, while I'm still here, there is still hope for you to attack the lord at the same level, so I discussed it with your father, and passed the title to you in the past two years, and recorded Brother Hua in the name of the Chen family as soon as possible, and after three or five years, Brother Hua is older, and he has the identity of a son-in-law, so please seal the son, and it is better to protect another generation, and it will depend on your creation in the future! Don't you know what is going on with this pile? The matter of putting Hua Ge'er under the name of the Chen family, Wu'an Hou Shizi has always disapproved, but this is Chen's business, Wu'an Hou Shizi is able to speak, how much effort did your father spend on this matter? Chen Xihua reluctantly let go, and now I ask you to hand over such a handle in his hand! Today's incident, scolding the girl again, and asking for family law, the whole house is full of trouble, can you still hide it? Ming'er Wu'an Hou Shizi said that Brother Hua disrespects his mother, Sister Lu cried again and complained that her father wanted to beat her for Brother Hua'er, and beat Chen, why did you reply? Sister Lu is Chen Xihua's niece! Brother Hua hasn't been remembered in Chen's name, so she can be wronged for Hua Ge'er, if it is remembered in Chen's name, will Sister Lu still have a way to live? Chen Xihua said this, what should I do about this matter! ”

"This ...... This ......" Zhou Jilin had a dish on his face, he couldn't speak, and finally felt that the situation was serious.

His own face is not enough now, he knows the Tao, and if he asks for the title of the prince as a concubine, if it is when the first emperor is there, it may still be possible, of course, it is also a difficult thing, but it must be impossible to put it today.

At that time, the first emperor had no sons-in-law, and the seven princes took the heirs, and the eldest princess Jing and the eldest princess stood on the side of the concubine Zhou Chao, the virtuous concubine Zhou, and supported the three princes.

It should be said that the influence of the princess's mansion has plummeted.

But in the end, she is still the only sister of the first emperor, and her aunt and aunt have to give some face, and the eldest princess Jinghe is in such a situation, taking precautions to finalize the next son for the prince of Zhenguo.

The first problem is that the current son Zhou Jilin has no son-in-law, but this can be regarded as a precedent to follow, which can be imitated by the example of the palace of Anping County in the first emperor's dynasty, and the eldest son of the concubine will be recorded under the name of the concubine, and the identity of the son-in-law will be obtained, and the son of the world will be sealed.

The second problem is that although the concubine has the identity of the son-in-law, but not the real son-in-law, the first emperor asked the prince of Anping County to be crowned, which caused a debate between the government and the opposition, and it was quite troublesome for a while. Now the eldest princess Jinghe is ready to invoke this example and compete for the throne of the world.

Little did she know that the first problem was about to be solved, but it was destroyed.

And Zhou Jilin never expected that it was just a dispute in the back house, and it turned into a major event of title inheritance, although he was in the game, he didn't get to the end of the matter and the eldest princess to point it out, he didn't expect it at all.

Seeing him like this, the eldest princess Jinghe was also deeply disappointed, and when she saw him like this, she said: "You go back first, and look at the Chen family, how are you also husband and wife, even if the Wang family has your wishes, and has a son, in the end it is just a concubine, there is no reason to go beyond the Chen family, our family is also a family with rules, you can't be too biased, even if it is a matter of no name, I can't tolerate such a thing, do you hear?" ”

Zhou Jilin had to kowtow and say yes, Jinghe eldest princess said lightly: "I have already instructed my grandmother to go to the Wang family, Hua Ge'er's rules are not good to learn, in the future, I will raise him to me, I personally watched him study and learn the rules, although he is a concubine, he is also your eldest son, and he can't let an aunt instigate!" ”

Zhou Jilin also wanted to intercede for the Wang family, but when he looked up and saw the sharp eyes of the eldest princess, he couldn't muster the courage anymore, so he had to kowtow and thank him, and went back to Zhilan Courtyard.
