Chapter 280: The Wise Man Who Retreated into the Background
Zhao Yuanbai didn't dare to be sloppy, and explained to Su Ning'er seriously: "Madam, the reason why I haven't replied to Wulang about this matter, and I haven't mentioned it to you, Madam, is because I still have some concerns in my heart. ”
"Concerns?" When Suning'er heard this, she didn't know if there was a layer of paste in her mind, so she said angrily: "Zhao Yuanbai, do you regret it, and you still want to marry her into the house?" ”
Zhao Yuanbai looked helpless, gently grabbed Suning'er's arm, and said bitterly: "Madam, what are you thinking, I never thought of marrying her, I didn't have this idea at the beginning, how can I still have such a thought now." ”
After thinking about it, he said again: "I just think that Wulang and Tao Jiuniang have never had anything to do with each other, at this time it was too strange for her to suddenly say that she was going to marry into the Zhao family, and she also knew that it was the two of us who personally sent her father to Jingzhao Mansion, first, I was worried that my wife would not want her to enter the mansion, and I was also afraid that she would have any bad thoughts about our Zhao family." ”
"It's not unreasonable for the husband to be worried", Su Ning'er hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but show some anxious looks: "But I see that Wulang is determined to marry Tao Jiuniang, we disobeyed Aya about Aunt Liu's matter last time, and now we have to break Wulang's thoughts again, I'm afraid that your father will not be able to explain it, this Tao Jiuniang hasn't done anything hurtful after all, we can't beat the mandarin ducks and break up people." ”
"Well, what Madame said is reasonable", Zhao Yuanbai thought and gradually fell into silence.
Su Ning'er looked at him quietly, this matter still has to be nodded and agreed by him.
After a while, he suddenly raised his head and said happily: "Madam, what do you think of this, Tao Jiuniang is not impossible if she insists on entering the door of my Zhao family, we will take her in and be a concubine with Wulang, after all, she is not a dignitary of the Hou family, and my Zhao family can't afford to climb it." ”
Su Ning'er couldn't help but burst out laughing, patted his arm, angry and funny: "You can tell it, you are really like the one in the market, too rebellious, arrogant and arrogant, the Tao family is not a big family now, is our Zhao family is what she can't climb, you still want her to be a concubine with Wulang." ”
She didn't point at Zhao Yuanbai to take care of this matter again, and patiently persuaded: "Don't meddle in this matter, save it and make the family restless, Rong Tomorrow I went to ask the old ancestor what he meant, if the old ancestor felt that there was nothing inappropriate, he agreed to Wulang." ”
Zhao Yuanbai pursed his lips, nodded thoughtfully, since his wife said so, he had nothing to dispute.
The next day, Suninger led the girls to Mrs. Zhao's mansion to ask for peace, and also talked to him about Tao Yunshu and Zhao Wulang's family affair.
Mrs. Zhao was exercising in the yard fairly, and after listening to what Su Ning'er had done, she couldn't help but fall into hesitation.
After a long time, he slowly replied: "Gorou has to marry the daughter of this Tao family?" ”
Suning'er didn't seem to be very happy when she heard what he said, Zhao Wulang married Tao Yunshu and entered the door, looked at the old lady, and said against her will: "To say that the Tao family's Jiuniang is also a hot woman in Chang'an City, talented and intelligent, Wulang is also young and proud, and the two are still very compatible." ”
Old lady Zhao just sneered, and glanced at Su Ning'er meaningfully with her sophisticated eyes: "Ning girl, why did you start talking nonsense with your eyes open." ”
Suning'er's heart sank, and she didn't answer him again.
"Hooking up with the Beiya dangerous fang, what kind of clean heart can there be", Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she puffed up: "Besides, his father is doing the business of human teeth, which hurts the heavens and harms, which is really outrageous, I didn't want San Lang to marry the woman of the Tao family, and now I naturally don't want to see Goro marry that dangerous fang into the family, San Lang can see it through, why doesn't Goro's child have this awareness." ”
Old lady Zhao was pacing back and forth in the courtyard with her hands behind her back, and suddenly stared at Su Ning'er again, frowning and said: "Ning girl, I heard that your uncle has also been very close to the Beiya party recently, you still have to persuade some, the eunuch of Beiya is not a fuel-efficient lamp, it's better to stay away." ”
"The slave family remembers the teachings of the ancestors."
Suninger knew that the old lady had been harmed by the people of the Beiya in her life, and she had never had a good impression of the Beiya party.
At this point, she is similar to the old lady.
Mrs. Zhao tidied up her clothes, sat on the recliner in the courtyard, and said casually: "Ning girl, you don't have to worry about Wulang's family affairs, if your father-in-law goes to embarrass you again, I will not spare you." ”
Suning'er looked bitter, she had never told anyone about Zhao Pingguang's trip to Ningyuan, how did the old lady know that her father-in-law had embarrassed herself?
She responded repeatedly, respectfully bowed to the old lady, and sighed on the way back to Ningyuan, looking at Shuang'er for a while, and looking at Qin'er who was walking slowly.
The two girls looked at each other and shook their heads.
Suning'er immediately understood that the old lady was retreating behind the scenes on the surface, but in fact, she was silently observing the Zhao family's every move.
If she relied on Zhao Yuanbai's protection to favor some personal feelings, and embezzled the money from the Zhao family's treasury to indulge her uncle, she would one day be informed by the old lady Zhao that she really couldn't get off the stage.
is worthy of a generation of sages, although he does not live in the court, he can be praised and admired by the dignitaries of the court; Regardless of family affairs, you can still keep your family affairs organized.
In the entire Zhao family, and even among the people Suninger has seen, this old lady is the person she admires and fears the most.
Since the old lady has spoken, she can't worry about this matter anymore, if it is self-defeating, it will not get half a word of praise in the end, but it will cause a commotion.
According to the old lady's wishes, she passed a few days quietly, but Wen Jiqing came to Zhao's house quietly.
When Suning'er rushed to the guest hall, Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Pingguang were talking together.
Seeing Suning'er's figure, Wen Jiqing immediately looked happy, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow down.
This scared Suning'er a lot, she had known him for so long, and she had never seen her give such a big gift to herself, so she helped him up in fear, and said uneasily: "Duke Wen has tormented the slave family, the slave family is just a clumsy woman of the merchant family, how can she afford this big gift from the Duke of Guo." ”
Wen Jiqing replied humbly and politely: "The princess is the eldest princess of Junning, who was personally named by the saint, and she is also the talented woman that the old slave has always respected the most. ”
"Guogong is too much of a slave."
Suning'er helped him back to his seat in a panic, looked at the old lady Zhao's gloomy face, muttered unconsciously in her heart, and asked cautiously: "Guogong has a lot of opportunities, I don't know what is the so-called thing about bending down to the cold house today?" ”
Wen Jiqing smiled slyly, and that smile was intimidating.
