Chapter 139: First Encounter with Mother Zhao
On the first night of entering the capital, this hot dusk was unabated, and the spring body was refreshing and met with the ancestor Jiang.
The reason why she is confused is not because she regrets that she has naturally lost the qualification to be loved, Chungui thinks that although she has this ability, she actually does not have such a delusion, others love her or hate her, it is not a big obstacle to her, even if she is destined to live under the same roof for a long time as the old lady and the second lady, the foundation of the relationship is actually the paper marriage book, not to mention any affection, let alone blood, you can't ask them to treat her like a palm bead, just like she can't stick a knife in their ribs.
Getting along with people is actually a kind of exchange, of course, not only a utilitarian exchange, but most of them are still reciprocal, for example, you have affection for me, I have righteousness to you, you can't stab me, I shed blood and work hard for you, before and after the saddle, the slave has no such loyalty to the master.
The reason why Chungui was worried was that she suddenly realized that it was unreasonable for Zhao Taishi to make Lan Ting the head of the family.
The head of the family is not the same as a title, and does not need the permission of the court and the emperor, but a private matter of one family and one family, that is to say, it can be divided into concubines, as long as the previous head of the family believes that one of the children and nephews has merit and ability, he can hand over the responsibility and honor together.
Therefore, before the death of most family heads, they will not entrust the sovereignty of the family to their young grandsons when there are several sons who have already started a family, regardless of whether they have talents or not, after all, the father is the son, and it is against etiquette and righteousness to let the son be the father master.
Unless there is a situation where the elders of the fathers are shameless and incompetent.
But regardless of the second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle Zhao first, from the point of view of the spring return, Uncle Zhao, oh, who should not be called Weng Dad, although he can't be called Dehou Streamer and Jin Huaiyu, he is a little indecisive and vacillating, but handing over the family business to him will not be a failure.
Why did Taishi Zhao hand over this burden directly to Lan Ting? You need to know that when he died, Lan Tingke was only fourteen years old!
One of the associations of the spring return is that Zhao Taishi didn't want to keep it at all, his plan is to go further, or rather, the seemingly flowery Zhaomen in the capital has actually reached a critical point of survival.
That's why Zhao Zhizhou can't be the head of the family, because he really doesn't have the ability to lead his family to go further or save the fall, so this burden falls on Lan Ting's shoulders.
For utilitarian reasons, a fourteen-year-old boy will be killed
Out?
Chun Gui thought that if Taishi Zhao really had such a calculation, he would not be so enthusiastic with Lan Ting's temperament, and he would not regard his grandfather as a person he truly respected in his life.
Then there is only one reason left, the Zhao family is at a critical juncture, and except for Lan Ting, no one realizes that such a stakes are so serious.
And in addition to this association, the spring return really can't make the "two" association.
How can she be refreshed?
But there was another thing that was expected, and that was that the first meeting with the old lady was extremely smooth. What only slightly surprised Chungui was that in Mrs. Shen's narrative, Chungui conjured up in his mind that the image of the old lady was a bitter face, looking at the whites of people's eyes and few eyeballs, but the words were still hidden in the needle, so that people could not find malicious intent after dismantling word by word, but they could feel the sword light and sword shadow in these words, and they were so aggrieved that they vomited blood and could still not see external injuries on their bodies.
But in fact, when I saw the old lady herself, only two big characters appeared in Chungui's mind!
There are no high cheekbones and no protruding eye sockets, and the hooked nose that Uncle Zhao and Yin Xiaomei both have prejudices does not grow above the old lady's person, the old lady is obviously like an autumn moon, and the smile is just revealed a little, and the corners of the mouth on both sides sink into the pear socket, except for the eyes are slightly cloudy and not energetic, which is somewhat detrimental to the appearance, on the whole, the first impression is not bad.
The key is that when she speaks, she doesn't make people feel hypocritical and hypocritical, as if the habit is to make physical contact with people, and she never let go of holding Chungui's hand when Lan Tingmian faces, Chungui only felt that her hand seemed to be stuck in two balls of cotton wool, and the gentle touch made her particularly unsteady.
The smile is respectful, but he can't always look directly at Chungui, his eyes slide to the side like inertia, and sometimes his smile inevitably shows a stiff sense of exhaustion.
Gentle and not pretentious, enthusiastic but hypocritical.
But this doesn't let Chungui mind, what she is afraid of is a master who can always perform accurately without revealing any flaws, Chungui just felt surprised, in her opinion, the old lady is not as good as Mrs. Shen's city, and it is not as difficult to deal with as she thought before.
The first time they met, although the old lady smiled cutely, Chungui still had insight into the vigilance and vigilance behind it, but it was not disgusting, so the old lady took the initiative to show that she was close to fashion and more natural, only when Lan Ting talked about the topic of recognizing her relatives the next day, Chungui obviously felt that the old lady's fingers were stiff.
"Is this too much of a hurry? Chun'er is still mourning, and it may not be polite to attend the banquet of the family recognition ceremony
moment, and will recruit gossip, there is a way that people are terrible...... "The old lady said and turned her face from Lan Ting's side to Chun Gui, and she was about to put on a bitter posture to persuade Chun Gui to dissuade Lan Ting from "taking back her life".
What Chun Gui didn't understand was that since the old lady had dispelled the idea of giving her a head start, and was thinking about finding another way, why was she so obsessed with the passing scene of "recognizing relatives"? Could it be that delaying the recognition of relatives can prove that the name of this marriage is not right, and it will be more convenient when she tears up the marriage certificate and sweeps her out of the house in the future? Does the old lady whimsically think that Lan Ting's current maintenance is nothing more than a momentary obsession, and when the days go by, she will be abandoned in chaos, and then she can easily cut off her, Mrs. Shen's henchmen, and then arrange her own person to control the head of the family?
This thought...... It's naïve.
However, Chun Gui thought about it and found that in the eyes of others, in addition to this appearance, there was really no capital to "last forever", it seemed to be a bit of a hexagram of "serving people with lust and declining love", and it was no wonder that the old lady had such a preparation.
Chun Gui wanted to be lazy and try to be quiet, but she didn't want to let the old lady succeed in this matter that was obviously detrimental to her own interests and safety, so she only maintained a harmless and ignorant smile, and didn't plan to say a word.
Lan Ting was even more impatient, and didn't even let the old lady continue: "The grandson's wedding was originally in accordance with the rules of filial piety, and the recognition ceremony should be exempted, but since the spring return has returned to Beiping, I have to offer tea and gifts to the relatives with my grandson, and formally meet you." ”
His tone was extremely resolute, and his attitude was faintly a bit of imperiousness that shocked and unfamiliar Chungui, and his heart was pounding.
The rivalry between Mrs. Shen and the old lady is due to different political positions, but Lan Ting seems to have no reason to stand in the camp of the grandson? Listening to his stingy shouting of "mother", he seemed to be too lazy to mention the queen and grandson, and he would not be so unruly in front of the old grandmother for Mrs. Shen's sake.
This is not Lan Ting's usual attitude towards the world, according to Chungui's observation, his recklessness and sharpness are mostly hidden in the bone ridge, like a sharp weapon sword, and he will not unsheath and dance when he is fine......
Could it be that his charm is really infinite to the point of reaching such a peak? In order to protect her, Lan Ting even did not hesitate to draw her sword out of the sheath to threaten her grandmother?
Chun Gui's face suddenly turned red and her ears warmed, and she didn't need to look at the bronze mirror, she felt that she must be a complacent face of the villain now......
Very much hatred.
