Chapter 550: Madame Hou's maid
Recently, there have been two happy events in the Zhong family, one is that Zhong Jue was appointed by the saint to explore the flowers for this scientific expedition, and the other is that the famous county lord of Wenping was given marriage to him.
Zhong Jue was a little dizzy by these two news, and he didn't react until the holy decree was recited.
The waiter smiled: "Tanhualang, take the order!" ”
Zhong Jue hurriedly reacted: "Weichen took the order." ”
"Tanhua, it's actually Tanhua!" Zhong Huaiwen was a little overjoyed at this time, "My father was also a flower explorer back then, and our family will be a double flower exploration in the future, Your Majesty is really wise." ”
The chamberlain was a little embarrassed after listening to it, to be honest, he felt that when His Majesty was visiting flowers at the o'clock, he didn't expect that his father was also exploring flowers.
Zhong Lang stood aside and saw that his father had completely forgotten his appearance, and at the same time he was very jealous, how could Zhong Jue be Tanhua? It shouldn't be because of the county lord of Wenping that he has improved his ranking, right? Yes, it must be so, otherwise how can you explain that his eldest brother has always been poor in learning before, but now he is so good?
However, Zhong Lang himself didn't want to think about it, everyone used to say that Zhong Jue's knowledge was not good, it was an illusion deliberately created by his mother and Mrs. Wei, just to make Zhong Huaiwen believe that his sister-in-law was useless.
But Zhong Huaiwen believed the nonsense of the women in the family, but it does not mean that outsiders are fools, although the palace test is the last time that the emperor appoints the top three, but most of them are sent by the ministers who read the papers after setting the ranking, even if there is a deviation, it is not far off.
Besides, now that Wei Guogong has handed over the military power in his hands, and the eldest princess An and the eldest princess have been closed for a long time, even if they have a grand favor, they don't have the ability to affect such a major matter as the scientific expedition, the emperor agrees, and the other ministers will not agree.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhong Jue has real skills, but Zhong Lang and Aunt Wei don't want to believe it.
However, Aunt Wei here is even more anxious than Zhong Lang, why did the emperor give Zhong Jue a marriage? Or the granddaughter of the eldest princess Anhe, the county lord of Wenping, who is the county lord, and is the eldest daughter-in-law when she marries in, isn't this forcing herself to hand over the housekeeping rights? In the future, Zhong Jue has the support of the county lord and the eldest princess, can he still handle him?
Aunt Wei suddenly felt that her future was bleak, no, she had to become a wife during this time, so that her two children could have a way out, so that the county lord of Wenping and Zhong Jue could not bully their mother and son.
Mrs. Wei has been in poor health recently, which is why Aunt Wei is so anxious, for fear that when the old lady goes that day, not only will she have no layer to rely on, but her daughter will also suffer to follow the three years of filial piety, and by then her daughter will be nineteen, what good relatives can she find?
But the top priority now is to let my cousin help him as his wife, no matter who the county lord of Wenping is, as long as he is the wife, the county lord of Wenping has to give himself the gift of his mother-in-law, so that he can hold her.
"Auntie, you have to get well quickly, otherwise there will be no place for our mother and son in this house." Aunt Wei cried and cried.
Old Madam Wei's head was dizzy, and she was even more dizzy when she cried like this: "You tell me well, what's going on?" ”
Here, Aunt Wei and Mrs. Wei will not express how they cry for the time being, and Zhong Lan over there decided to invite the county lord of Wenping to come to the Hou Mansion to play after knowing that her brother and the county lord of Wenping were given marriage, so that she could deal with her sister-in-law's feelings in advance, and she also had to give her future sister-in-law a preventive shot, after all, her mother's family was not very peaceful.
People say that the county lord of Wenping is too barbaric and too domineering, but Zhong Lan thinks that it is just right, only such a person can cure Aunt Wei and them, and Mrs. Lao Hou also told her after hearing the news, although the reputation of the county lord of Wenping is not very good, but she herself is not as unbearable as she is said outside.
Mrs. Hou still believed what Zhong Lan said, but it was better to hear than to see, so she posted the next day.
The county lord of Wenping, who received the post, was still a little worried, after all, the future husband's sister was from Weiyuan Houfu, would she have heard of her reputation? Will you have a bad impression of yourself?
Despite the apprehension in his heart, the county lord of Wenping still dressed up for the banquet the next day, and the two had a good impression at the first glance of each other.
Zhong Lan is a typical gentle and generous lady, and now that she is pregnant with a child, she has an extra kind of motherhood, and she looks particularly gentle and virtuous.
The county lord of Wenping has loved to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, but he admires and yearns for that kind of dignified lady, the kind of dignified from the bottom of her heart, not the kind that pretends to be, Zhong Lan just fits her aesthetics.
And what about Zhong Lan? Since listening to the deeds of Mrs. Lao Hou, I also appreciate and worship those women who dare to conflict with etiquette, although the county lord of Wenping is informal, but the atmosphere is heroic, the eyes are particularly clear, and it is easy to get along with at a glance.
The two sisters-in-law will smile when they meet for the first time, not like sisters-in-law, like best friends and girlfriends.
"You said that before your brother's test, someone put laxatives in his food?" The county lord of Wenping has a big mouth and fierce eyes, born in a powerful family, although nothing bad has happened in her family, but she has heard a lot, and this time she tasted something unusual.
"Well, since my mother died, my aunt has been in charge of the family, and my aunt is my father's cousin, and they all say that they are subordinates who make their own decisions, and my brother can't find any evidence, so nothing big happened......"
"Cousin, cousin?" The voice of the county lord of Wenping was raised.
Zhong Lan nodded: "I heard that my grandmother wanted Aunt Wei to be my father's wife, but my grandfather didn't agree at that time, so Aunt Wei entered the mansion and became a concubine." ”
The county lord of Wenping understood, her sister-in-law was giving her a vaccination, so many twists and turns, I was afraid that their brothers and sisters were not doing well in the house before, look at this pile of things, what are the things?
"In the past few years, we have been keeping filial piety, and my father is not good at raising Aunt Wei as a wife, I guess the house has been discussing it recently, Wen Ping, I am a foreign daughter, I can't control the house, you have to be careful when you marry my brother in the future, then Aunt Wei is used to pretending to be aggrieved and weak."
Wen Ping sneered and didn't speak, the point she promised to marry was that Zhong Jue didn't have a mother-in-law, and she hadn't married yet, so she was going to find a new mother-in-law for her? Or is it straightened by an aunt? To whom to insult?
The future father-in-law and sister-in-law are easy to bully, she is not so easy to bully!
Since she likes to pretend to be weak, as long as it is committed on her head, don't blame her for making her truly "weak" for the rest of her life.
"I understand what you said today, don't worry, I'm not so easy to bully." Speaking of this, Wen Ping still has some hatred for iron and steel, "You said that you are now Mrs. Hou, why are you still afraid of them?" Useless! ”
Although Wen Ping was talking about Bianren, Zhong Lan was not angry at all, but very happy.
