Chapter 108: Refusal, kneeling and toasting a cup of tea
Jingbei Hou and Zhou glanced at each other, and Huo Sijin would refuse, which they did not expect.
"Chanting and praying for blessings can be done at any time, and it doesn't have to be at this time." Jingbei Hou glanced at the sky outside, it was already evening at this time, and the sky had gradually begun to darken, and said, "It's late today, go and pick up your mother tomorrow." ”
Jingbei Hou obviously did not discuss with Huo Sijin in this remark, but directly ordered and ordered. He couldn't bear to give the Yang family face, and he couldn't allow Huo Sijin to refuse.
Huo Sijin's eyes were slightly dark, Jingbei Hou was so insistent, she seemed to have guessed his intentions.
Zhou had been quietly paying attention to Huo Sijin's expression, and when he saw that her expression was wrong, he immediately spoke up: "Master Hou, it's better to go to see Mrs. tomorrow and tell Mrs. about the banquet, whether to go or not, it's up to Mrs. to make her own decision." ”
It doesn't matter if Huo Sijin doesn't agree, as long as Yang nods, then the matter will be easy to handle.
"No, what my mother said is not as important as chanting and praying." Huo Sijin immediately replied.
"Not necessarily." Not to be outdone, Zhou said with a smile, "Madame has been closed in the house for many years, and she doesn't go out and walk around again, I'm afraid that people will forget about her." Now that I have the opportunity to go out for a walk, my wife must be willing to do so. ”
Zhou's voice was smooth and gentle, but the words he said were prickly.
The Yang family has the name of Mrs. Jingbei Hou, but she has no real power, and even things like going out to socialize are done by his wife Zhou, and she has no share. In this world, people are indifferent, and they despise Yang's experience more than sympathize.
This is something that everyone knows, and Zhou's disguised this time has made things clear. The Yang family is weak, if she wants to regain the power of her main wife, now is a good opportunity, if Huo Sijin insists on pushing it, it will be her loss.
Hearing this, Huo Sijin's eyes drooped slightly, and he said lightly: "What does Mrs. Zhou want to say, it's better to explain it today." ”
turned his gaze to Jingbei Hou, "And father, what you want to say, let's make it clear together." ”
"I'll bring your mother back tomorrow." Jingbei Hou didn't like Huo Sijin's eyes looking at him at the moment, indifferent and deep, as if he could see him through at a glance, there was no murderous aura, but he could kill people invisibly.
With such eyes and such momentum, the Marquis of Jingbei has seen it in others-Prince Chu Zheng. The Marquis of Jingbei is not a timid and weak person, but every time he sees the crown prince Chu Zheng, he can't help but feel a little afraid in his heart. And today, in the face of Huo Sijin, Jingbei Hou also involuntarily gave birth to a little fear.
He suddenly didn't want to see Huo Sijin, let alone have a verbal dispute with her, because he had a faint feeling in his heart: he was not Huo Sijin's opponent.
"Mother's affairs are all up to me, and my father only needs to tell me if he has anything, don't bother my mother."
Huo Sijin's eyes raised slightly, and at the end, he emphasized, "I won't let anyone disturb my mother." ”
If you want to get your mind from your mother, it's best to dismiss it immediately!
"What are you talking about!" Jingbei Hou's face immediately changed greatly, and he could hear Huo Sijin's tone being tough, and even dangerous.
She wouldn't let anyone bother the Yang family, and if someone did, she wouldn't let it go easily.
"Huo Changjin, don't forget, Benhou is your father!" Threat? He can too, otherwise she really thinks that he is afraid of her?
Thinking of this, the Marquis of Jingbei couldn't help but harden a little, and said in a cold voice: "Don't think that you are now the prince of the Hou Mansion, you can be lawless, if you are disobedient and unfilial, this Hou can be on the fold at any time and remove your position as the prince." ”
Although the holy decree of the prince was given by the emperor, it does not mean that Huo Sijin can sit back and relax.
"Father can try." Huo Sijin said lightly.
Her face was as usual, without the slightest fear, but sneered, "My position as the son of the world was given by His Majesty, not by my father." If my father removes me, it will be a slap in the face. ”
"You ......" Jingbei Hou was exhausted, but he couldn't refute it. If it weren't for that, how could he let Huo Sijin become the rightful heir of the Jingbei Hou Mansion.
"Of course, my father found an upright reason to ask for the removal of my sonship, although Your Majesty is angry, he will not do anything to my father."
The corners of Huo Sijin's lips were lightly raised, and his eyes flowed, outlining a light and shallow smile, "However, if Your Majesty is angry with your father's nephew because of this, it will be a big loss......"
"Nonsense, what does this have to do with the three princes." Jingbei Hou blurted out and immediately retorted. This is a family affair of the Marquis of Jingbei, where will Chu Li be implicated.
"Didn't my father forget, the second sister was promised to the third prince, and the father is both an uncle and a father-in-law, how can your words and deeds not implicate the third prince? Even if His Majesty didn't think of this, his son would find a way to remind His Majesty. ”
"Rebel!" The last sentence directly ignited the anger of Jingbei Hou, and he was immediately furious, and waved his hand at Huo Sijin.
Huo Sijin had expected him to be annoyed and angry, and when he saw that he was moving, he immediately took a few steps back and stayed away from him.
"Master Hou can't." Zhou hurriedly grabbed Jingbei Hou and said softly, "Changjin is deliberately angry with Hou Ye, Hou Ye doesn't have to take it to heart." ”
After Zhou's reminder, the originally burning anger of Jingbei Hou gradually subsided. It is a fact that he has snubbed the Yang family and son for many years, and Huo Sijin holds a grudge in his heart, and it is normal to deliberately say some angry words.
Jingbei Hou took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and looked at Huo Sijin patiently, "Changjin, for my father, I know that you think I have neglected your mother and son over the years, but I haven't treated you badly, your mother is sick and needs good medicinal materials to keep you warm, you want to read and learn calligraphy, and your father will send you to Taixue to be taught." Changjin, think about it yourself, have you done all this? ”
If there has never been a shortage of food and clothing, this is not a disadvantage.
Listening to Jingbei Hou saying "the conscience of digging out the heart". Huo Sijin always had a faint smile on his face, and nodded very approvingly.
Jingbei Hou then said: "You are young and vigorous, and you have a little pimple in your heart, and you can understand it as a father, but you and I are father and son after all, what grievances can't be resolved, if you talk about it, it's fine." ”
"Changjin, as a father, I will make it clear to you today." Jingbei Hou secretly gritted his teeth, and said with a straight face, "As long as you don't disobey your father, the position of the son of this world will always be yours." ”
Huo Sijin's eyebrows raised slightly, "Oh? What is the father's disobedience? ”
When she asked this, Jingbei Hou was relieved, it seemed that she really cared about the position of the prince.
"The third prince is your cousin, and your family, you should help him more." What Jingbei Hou said was not too subtle, he had mentioned such things before, and he was sure that Huo Sijin could understand it.
Of course Huo Sijin understood, she sneered in her heart, and it was indeed this purpose.
"Why does my father bother around the bush, doesn't he just want me to do things for the third prince?" Huo Sijin put away the smile on his face, "Since my father knows that I have resentment, but he wants to try to persuade me with family affection, don't you think this idea is terrible, father?" ”
Although she and Jingbei Hou are father and son, they have no father-son relationship. He didn't regard her as a son, and she hadn't taken him as a father to heart for a long time.
Jingbei Hou stiffened his face, "You still have a grudge in your heart, Changjin, you and I are father and son after all, father and son who are connected by blood." Of course, he knew that the family affection between them was shallow, but there was nothing else but family affection.
"Master Hou, you are Changjin's father, he naturally doesn't want to blame you, it's all my fault."
Zhou sighed and said to Huo Sijin: "Changjin, I know that you are complaining about me in your heart, you think I robbed you of what originally belonged to your mother. I don't want to mention much about the old things in the past, just one point, I am willing to hand over the power of the family to show my sincerity, what does Changjin think? ”
"Qimei, you ......" When Jingbei Hou heard this, he immediately became anxious.
Zhou hurriedly took over, "Master Hou, the eldest lady is the main mother of the Eight Classics, and the power of the family should be hers." In the past, it was I who exceeded the rules, which made Changjin resentful. ”
Bang Bang Bang!
Huo Sijin couldn't help but applaud, "Mrs. Zhou is so virtuous and reasonable, no wonder my father wants to pamper you like this." What you said is right, I do resent you, but after so many years of resentment, I want to dispel it just by virtue of the power of the family, which is too simple. ”
"What else do you want?" Jingbei Hou's face was very unhappy, and the power of the family was given to the Yang family, which was already a great benefit, what did she want!
Huo Sijin hooked his lips and smiled, "It's not difficult to say, as long as the Jingbei Hou Mansion holds a banquet and invites all the nobles and dignitaries in the capital, in front of everyone, the Zhou family kneels to give my mother a cup of tea." ”
