Chapter 155: The Elder of the Foreign Family

Mention the deceased mother when he opened his mouth, the person who came should have a good relationship with Zhao Lanting, looking at the age of this person, most of them are still Zhao Lanting's relatives, and he is secretly thinking about it, how do you know how to listen to it: "The eldest master is right, the court has finally won the fame, and it can be regarded as living up to the teachings of Xianci." ”

What is the title of the eldest master? Qu Chu glared, staring at Lan Ting's calm face suspiciously.

The person who came seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Lan Ting's title, his brows furrowed tightly, and he opened his mouth after a while, but the tone that originally seemed close was inevitably a little more severe: "In the old days, your grandfather's birthday, specially sent someone to invite you, but you claimed that it was inconvenient to go to the banquet for the funeral, and only sent congratulatory gifts and greetings, my father was not disappointed, and your third uncle couldn't help but complain that you were disrespectful to your elders, but your father blamed the third brother, blaming him for not understanding your difficulties." Your grandfather died, and you only had to mourn your grandchildren for a year, so you should have been out of service a long time ago, so how could you claim to be in mourning and not congratulate your grandfather in person? I guess your stepmother is getting in the way. ”

Qu almost didn't bare out of his eyes now.

Listening to the words of this "official authority", could it be Mrs. Zhu's brother, that is, Zhao Lanting's uncle?!

"Before my grandfather passed away, he ordered Lan Ting to assume the position of the head of the Xuan Zhai Hall, so Lan Ting mourned for his grandfather and should bear the gift of his grandson." Lan Ting's expression still did not change in the slightest, and he calmly responded to Master Zhu, he imitated the etiquette of bearing his grandson, then he should mourn his grandfather for three years.

But Lan Ting's father is still alive, he is not a great-bearing grandson, and there are few precedents in the world for his grandfather to bequeath the eldest grandson to govern the family when the eldest son is still alive, whether Lan Ting should imitate the gift of the great-grandson In fact, no one can say, that is to say, if he wants to congratulate his grandfather on his birthday, he will not bear the wrong responsibility for his grandfather's unfilial piety, but he refuses to mourn, so what does it mean?

Of course, Master Zhu figured out the trick, his face was very gloomy for a while, and he almost thought that he was about to shoot the case, but for some reason, the elder held back a breath of anger: "Since Ting'er has been in high school, he will naturally have a banquet to celebrate the big event, I don't know if there is a happy day, father, he often thinks about you, and of course he will come to congratulate him then." ”

"Forgive me, the eldest lord, the court has discussed it with the elders in the family, and the important thing now is to prepare for the exam next spring, so I have no intention of celebrating." Lan Ting lowered his face slightly, as if he was apologetic, but even Qu Zhu could see that he was alienated and cold to his uncle.

"What? Ting'er is in a hurry to participate in the exam next spring? Master Zhu seemed to be anxious, and he didn't care about Lan Ting's attitude at all, he leaned forward slightly, and subconsciously half-clenched the palm of one hand into a fist: "Yi Ting'er's talent, it is very likely that the three yuan and the first, now that the foundation has been laid for Xie Yuan, why not seek stability and delay the last session of the exam?" ”

"What glory is the Three Elements and the First? The boy really didn't dare to try, but because he was the head of the family, in order to live up to the trust of his grandfather and the hopes of the elders, the court should strive to join the government as soon as possible to serve the monarchy. This time, Lan Ting behaved very humbly, without the momentum of being arrogant in front of Chun Gui, and what he said was also a big truth, and there was no sincerity in his words.

"According to my uncle, Ting'er still shouldn't be in a hurry......"

"Master, the court has decided to participate in the next spring exam."

He clearly saw that Uncle Zhu's anger almost turned his face upside down, his beard trembled, and he took a deep breath before he could continue to speak: "I won't talk to you anymore, to tell the truth, I originally heard that you wanted to participate in this year's autumn festival, and I planned to dissuade you, for fear that you would be in a hurry to participate in the next spring exam after the middle lift, but I heard about it later."

You went to Fenzhou to serve the sick, thinking that you would definitely not be able to catch up with the autumn season, so you didn't have much to do, how did you know that you rushed back and ended up in a hurry...... Ting'er also knows that your cousin Yu took the township exam three years ago, and he prepared for the exam for a few more years, and he was also determined to end next spring, in order to be able to be the top student in high school, you are cousins, why bother fighting? If you postpone the last session and take the exam again, if the Zhu and Zhao families can win two consecutive championships, it will also be a good story. ”

Drain: ......

After talking for a long time, it turned out that he was afraid that Zhao Lanting would snatch his son's first prize.

"Being able to compete with the Zhu family in the same field, the court thought it was a rare luck in a lifetime." Lan Ting refused.

At this moment, Uncle Zhu's anger finally couldn't hold back anymore: "I came today, on the order of your grandfather, it is your grandfather's intention to let you take the exam next time, do you want to disobey your relatives?" Lan Ting, you are less prestigious, and after you are famous, you will definitely have a bright future in the future, but if you bear the notoriety of unfilial piety......"

Qu showed a look of contempt: Didn't you say that the Zhu family is also a famous family of poetry and books in the capital? I didn't expect Master Zhu to have such a face, in order to persuade his nephew to make way for his son, he actually opened his mouth like a scoundrel in the market to threaten him, and he wanted to lose face!

"After Ling Lang fell to Yakui in the exam, why did the eldest man believe that Ling Lang would be able to be the top student in high school? The court also heard that the old lady and the current Gong Shangshu have a friendship with each other, and Gong Shangshu has been designated as the president of the examination...... The court is willing to compete fairly with Ling Lang in the next spring, if it is not as good as Ling Lang's ranking, Ting Gan will bow down, and will not question Gong Shangshu's preference for the eldest grandson of Xueyou. ”

Qu out laughed out loud, couldn't help but applaud loudly for Uncle Zhao, very much admired this heroic spirit who did not bow to the evil forces and effectively fought back, of course, did not forget to turn his face to look at Uncle Zhu's face after being counter-threatened, only to see that he finally stood up, stretched out a trembling index finger to the tip of his nephew's nose, and vividly performed a state of annoyance and anger with blowing his beard and staring at his eyes.

"You, you, what a rebellious and unfilial boy, it's a shame that your aunt heard that you were calculated by the Shen family and married a decently woman to enter the door, and rushed to fight for you to save your marriage with the Jin Mansion, you dare to ......"

Lan Ting's expression finally changed, he frowned, and then turned around and left.

Uncle Zhu couldn't come back to his senses after hanging on the spot for a long time, and after a while, he became angry and said: "Third sister, if you have a spirit in the sky, open your eyes and take a good look at what kind of rebel you have born, arrogant and unfilial and greedy for beauty, my Zhu family has no such nephew from now on!" ”

Qu Kou let out a "puff" on the ground, and turned around and floated away.

Floating is faster than walking, Qu out of the first step to the top of the inner house, overlooking it, just when I saw Chungui stepping into the courtyard gate of the Hesitant Garden, she was not in a hurry to remind, leisurely go down to see the excitement.

Chungui was invited by Mama Su, and on the way, she had already heard that it was Mrs. Zhu's sister-in-law, and the elders she should call her aunt were talking in the old lady's courtyard. Chun Gui did not expect that the eldest aunt who had never met would be amiable to her, but when he arrived at the hesitant garden, when he saw the woman who was whispering to Cao's mother just now, he immediately thought of this entourage who was probably the eldest aunt.

Chungui sighed secretly, and said in his heart No matter how difficult it is, this is a pass that can't be avoided, who let this be Uncle Zhao's aunt and uncle? In terms of blood relationship, he is an even more important relative than Queen Shen, so if he is embarrassed, he can only be embarrassed

Hard-headed to get through, fortunately, she doesn't live under the same roof with her aunt after all, and her aunt can't scold and criticize her every day, so she turns around and is at ease, as for how to make the outsiders agree with her in the future, it should be Uncle Zhao's brain-wrenching problem Chungui has no consciousness of being a pioneer in everything, especially in this matter, she can't do anything at all.

Be fully mentally prepared, Chungui showed a smiling face vigorously, and respectfully greeted people as soon as he entered the door.

Chungui lowered her face, which was extremely easy to be disliked by female elders, and naturally couldn't look at the eyebrows of her eldest aunt, and there was only a green brocade horse-faced skirt as far as she could see, and the skirt was embroidered with gold thread with the pattern of eight treasure tassels, and the tips of her shoes were exposed under this gorgeous skirt.

She didn't feel the gaze of the thorns, and Chun Gui thought: I was probably ignored again.

As if to make up for the unfavorable situation of Chun Gui's inability to look at and observe the opponent, she finally helped her with righteousness, and she vividly described her aunt's appearance: "The eyebrows are thin and short, but they are long and black; swollen eyelids and small eyes, quite sharp when looking at people; The face is a little long, I don't know if it is deliberately elongated; The nose was straight and straight like a dagger; Thin lips, pointed chin, and a mole under the nose. ”

Spring Return: ......

It sounds fierce, but it should be full of firepower.

She didn't hear back from the other party when she bowed, and she was embarrassed, but fortunately, the old lady didn't stand by: "The last time I recognized the kiss ceremony, I didn't have time to invite relatives and friends, but it happened that my uncle and wife came over today, and I happened to drink this bowl of tea from my niece and daughter-in-law." He motioned for the spring to return to the opportunity to act.

How did I know that I straightened up after returning from the spring, and before I had time to move my steps, the eldest aunt sneered: "You can't drink this tea, and you shouldn't take care of the lady's aunt, Mrs. Don't blame me for being straightforward, my third sister went early, for that old thing, our two families have lost the warmth that ordinary in-laws should have, and they have moved less in recent years." But even so, Lan Ting is the blood and blood of my third sister after all, I thought that he was the eldest grandson of the Taishi Mansion, even if there is no biological mother, the biological father is still alive, and there is a real grandmother, the marriage can not be sloppy and sloppy, how could I have expected that there are really unexpected rare things in this world, the eldest lady of the house took Lan Ting Kuang to Fenzhou, and when she did not inform Lan Ting's family, she actually forced Lan Ting to marry a wife! ”

On the side, there was also Mrs. Peng, who was embarrassed by the old lady, and hurriedly stepped forward to talk: "This matter is indeed a hasty decision by the uncle and sister-in-law, and we don't know anything about it when we are far away in the capital, but it's just ...... After all, Brother Ting obeyed the orders of his parents, and his uncle and wife still didn't want to embarrass Brother Ting's daughter-in-law. ”

"It's not that I embarrass her, and let her tell herself, where is she worthy of court?" The eldest aunt glanced at Chungui at this time: "The servant woman next to me went to see Mother Cao earlier, and Mother Cao was full of resentment, saying that Mrs. Gu went behind the court to confront the nurse in public, and even violated the wishes of the third sister when she was alive. The third sister is Ting'er's biological mother, even if she dies, she is also a righteous mother-in-law, disobeying her mother-in-law is unfilial, Taishifu has always paid attention to etiquette, shouldn't she abandon the rebellious woman and uphold the family style? ! ”

"My uncle's words are serious." Mrs. Peng was clearly interested in schadenfreude, so she hurriedly fanned the flames: "Although Brother Ting's daughter-in-law is young and not stable enough, she argued with Cao's mother in a hurry, but she didn't mean to contradict disrespect, and as for disobeying her mother-in-law, it is even more unspeakable." ”

"No collision?" The eldest aunt sneered again: "Dare to ask the second lady if she has put aside her words and testified with Cao's mother?" If the second lady still quibbles that there is no such thing, then invite Cao's mother to confront her on the spot! ”
