Chapter 297: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Meet (3)
"PS: The editor told me that there is a combat power list in historical literature, and the competition is not very fierce, so you can try it. I said I'd check it out. As a result, when I went to the home page of the starting point, the whole person was not good, the first one, more than 100,000 words in a single day, I was absolutely stunned to read it for 30 seconds before I came back to my senses. This world is crazy, I'd better be honest with myself."

"What is the relationship with the ginger?"
If it was a month or two ago, Zhao Hongrun did not hesitate about this, he had nothing to do with the woman with a black belly, a poisonous mouth, and an expressionless face.
But now, for some reason, he couldn't say the phrase "it doesn't matter".
This complicated mood lasted until the end of the night, when everyone had dinner in the hall of the North House.
In all fairness, the delicacies at the table were quite tempting and delicious, after all, the cooks in charge of the kitchen were temporarily invited by the guards from the imperial dining room of the palace, and the cooking skills were unparalleled.
But even so, Zhao Hongrun felt a little like chewing wax, because he was still thinking deeply about the relationship with Mi Jiang in his heart.
It is undeniable that he likes Miss Su's gentleness, and he also likes the little girl's well-behaved apricot, which is not difficult to speculate on the concept of choosing an ideal female companion, and Mi Jiang, what are her advantages?
Black belly, poisonous mouth, expressionless face, life habits are also like a seventy or eighty old woman, what's even worse is that this woman is good at keeping company with poisonous insects, such as snakes, scorpions, spiders, caterpillars, and some even Zhao Hongrun will feel disgusted and disgusting reptiles, but she can hold it in her hands expressionlessly and play with it, there is simply no femininity at all.
But the strange thing is that Zhao Hongrun finds that he is more and more able to accept this aspect of the ginger, just like the lines in a comedy drama: once you accept this setting, it seems that you can still feel cute.
It's unreasonable!
Zhao Hongrun also felt a little speechless about the inexplicable change in his mentality.
may have noticed Zhao Hongrun's gaze. Mi Jiang raised his head and glanced at it, and when he found that it was Zhao Hongrun's line of sight, he quickly looked away.
"What the hell is going on with this guy?"
Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he secretly glanced in the direction of Miss Su, and happened to see her looking at him with an elusive expression. Then he glanced at the ginger again.
"It's not good, it's not good......
Zhao Hongrun was shocked, and then realized that he and Mi Jiang were "eyebrows" at the moment, which was not a good thing.
On the main seat, Concubine Shen Shufei sometimes whispered something with Concubine Wu, and sometimes greeted the girls to eat with a smile, her eyes fell back and forth between Miss Su and Mi Jiang, making the originally embarrassing atmosphere even more embarrassing.
"Mi Jiang, you are from Runan County. Is that right? β
Coldly, Shen Shufei asked.
Maybe she didn't expect Shen Shufei to ask herself, Mi Jiang was stunned, and then nodded and said, "Yes, Shen Shufei." β
"Apart from your cousin and your own sister, are there any other relatives in the family?" Shen Shufei asked again.
Mi Jiang was stunned, and then realized that the 'cousin' that Shen Shufei said was mostly referring to Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng. He shook his head and whispered, "Maybe there are still some relatives, but they don't interact anymore." β
"Oh." Shen Shufei nodded.
In fact, she also knows some things about Mi Jiang. And there is something about Qi Jiang's deceased father, Xiong Hao of Runan County, and Concubine Shen Shufei has more or less heard a certain Zongwei who "secretly informed" mention it, so she is not surprised.
"This time, you came to my Great Wei, do you plan to stay here for a long time?" Shen Shufei asked again.
"This ......" Qi Jiang couldn't figure out Shen Shufei's thoughts, so she couldn't answer rashly, and subconsciously glanced at Zhao Hongrun.
This scene was seen by Shen Shufei. The smile on her face grew even stronger.
"The concubine said, if it weren't for some special reason, how could this girl's family leave her hometown?"
Concubine Shen glanced at Zhao Hongrun with disgust, probably secretly blaming her son for refusing to tell the truth.
Immediately. She asked Mi Jiang again: "In the past, were you used to living in my beam?" β
γβ¦β¦γ
Mi Jiang became more and more confused, her eyes flashed with doubt, and after thinking about it, she said truthfully: "I am still a little confused about the customs of your place, but the place is very good." β
"That's good......" Shen Shufei nodded with a look of satisfaction.
Subsequently, she asked Mi Jiang many questions, for example, where did the two Mi Jiang sisters go after leaving their homeland of Chu when they were young.
When I heard from Mi Jiang's plain tone that this woman, who was only about three years old at the time, was forced to leave her hometown and go to Pakistan, thousands of miles away, when she was carrying her infant sister Mi Rui, she heard Shen Shufei and Wu Guifei sigh again and again.
"Didn't your cousin send someone to escort your sisters?"
Mi Jiang said truthfully: "My cousin sent someone to escort me, but on the first night of entering Pakistan, the convoy was attacked by the local Pakistani people, and the guards sacrificed their ...... to protect my sisters."
Mi Jiang said it very lightly, but everyone in the room was shocked when they heard it, not to mention that Concubine Shen Shufei secretly wept at the unfortunate experience of the two sisters, and even Zhao Hongrun felt a little surprised.
After all, this period of the past, Mi Jiang never told her, and even, looking at Mi Rui's dazed appearance, it was obvious that even she didn't know.
It's no wonder, after all, Mi Rui was just an infant at the time.
"What a miserable child." Concubine Shen sighed again.
On the side, Wu Guifei couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, and muttered: "It's just the name of her sisters...... My sister is bitter ginger, and my sister is young grass...... They are all hard-working children. β
Seeing these two elders with overflowing motherhood, the more Zhao Hongrun listened to it, the more he felt that it was not a taste.
It stands to reason that Miss Su should be the protagonist of today's meal, but Concubine Shen Shufei surrounded Mi Jiang and asked long and short questions, isn't this a disguised snub to Miss Su?
During this period, Zhao Hongrun secretly glanced at Miss Su, only to see her sit down with low eyebrows, as if no one cared about the situation, which made Zhao Hongrun feel distressed for a while.
He wanted to talk to his mother, Shen Shufei, but there were many people at the dinner table, and he couldn't say it too obviously. I had to wait for this meal to be over, and then talk to Shen Shufei about it.
This meal, in the long and short questions between Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Wu Guifei to the two sisters of Mi Jiang, finally came to an end.
Maybe Mi Jiang didn't feel anything at first, but as the questions asked by Shen Shufei gradually became more targeted, she seemed to have vaguely guessed something. The pretty face gradually reddened, and sometimes peeked at Zhao Hongrun's gaze was not as calm as before.
Looking at this scene, the bitterness in Miss Su's eyes seemed to be stronger, she bit her lip and sat there without speaking, and sometimes glanced up at Zhao Hongrun with resentment.
finally stayed up until the end of this meal, Zhao Hongrun hurriedly pulled his mother Shen Shufei aside and asked her in a low voice.
"Mother, do you have any prejudices against Miss Su?"
Shen Shufei looked a little inexplicable, and asked puzzledly: "It's good to look at Miss Su for your mother." Although a little older...... Why did Run'er ask? β
"In that case, mother, you are at the dinner table, why are you asking questions around Mi Jiang?" Zhao Hongrun said angrily.
"You stinky boy, now that your wings are stiff, you dare to accuse you of being a mother." Concubine Shen Shu pointed her finger at her son's head in annoyance, and then explained: "For your Miss Su, I already knew a lot about my mother before eating, but it was the ginger." I don't know much about her......"
"What do you want to know?" Zhao Hongrun said helplessly: "The child has nothing to do with your Mi Jiang. β
"Are you supposed to be blind to your mother?" Concubine Shen looked at her son with disgust, and then lowered her voice and said, "Run'er." In fact, Wei Niang thinks that Mi Jiang people are also very good...... Oh, it's not that Miss Su is bad, it's just that Wei Niang thinks that she ...... Jiang
"Alright, mom." Raising his hand interrupted Shen Shufei's words. Zhao Hongrun said a little tiredly: "Isn't what you want to see today Miss Su?" β
"That's ......," Shen Shufei seemed to come to her senses.
"You're really ......."
Shaking his head secretly, Zhao Hongrun continued with a wry smile: "You didn't think that you were just like that, is it tantamount to snubbing Miss Su?" β
"Huh?" Shen Shufei's face showed a little surprise: "Yes, yes?" β
"......" Zhao Hongrun sighed helplessly.
And no wonder. After all, Concubine Shen Shu has been in the palace since she was a child, and she has always been in good health, and she is only accompanied by her two sons and a few people such as the palace maid Xiao Tao, so she is inevitably weaker in terms of human feelings.
Hearing her son's reminder, Shen Shufei gradually realized that it seemed a little inappropriate for her to be like that.
"Miss Su...... It's not that small, right? β
Looking at his mother's sneering appearance, Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes and said in an exaggerated tone: "That is, Miss Su has a good temper, if it were me, I am afraid that I would have left long ago." β
"You kid!" Concubine Shen Shu glared at her son, then frowned and asked, "Then what should I do now?" Why don't you talk to Miss Su again for your mother? β
"Don't." Zhao Hongrun waved his hand and hurriedly said, "Let the child say it himself." β
With that, he turned and left.
As he expected, during the period after the meal, Miss Su seemed a little distracted, and every time she looked up at him Zhao Hongrun, her eyes seemed to be hiding a thousand words.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun found an opportunity and called Miss Su outside the house.
"Lady Niangniang...... Don't you like the slave family? β
Sure enough, the first thing Miss Su said was to question herself.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun hurriedly coaxed: "How is it possible? β
"Then she ......" Miss Su lowered her head, looking a little sullen.
Zhao Hongrun gently shook her hand, and the two of them strolled along the soft stone path in the courtyard.
"Do you want to ask, why did my mother frequently ask about Mi Jiang at the dinner table and snub you?"
"It's not that it's not a snub, it's just ......" Miss Su shook her head, then raised her head, and said sullenly: "The slave family just thinks that Lingtang is more ...... to the girl of the Mi family than to the slave family."
γβ¦β¦γ
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.
In fact, he also saw that although his mother Shen Shufei did not have any prejudices against Miss Su, it was undeniable that Shen Shufei did have a much better impression of Mi Jiang than she did for Miss Su.
What's more, Mi Jiang is three or four years younger than Miss Su, which is just in line with Wei people's views on the eldest daughter-in-law.
"Don't think about it."
Zhao Hongrun clenched Miss Su's hand, and immediately gently held it in his arms, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, so ashamed that Miss Su's pretty face turned crimson, and she lowered her head impatiently. (To be continued.) )
