Although Zhao Zhoucheng said that he caught up with the era of high school gold list by bribing eunuchs, it was not easy for him to get fame, the reason is, of course, that Wen Zhenggong Zhao Qian's father absolutely did not allow his children to obtain fame through the side door examination, although Zhao Zhoucheng had the qualifications to ask for the shadow seal, but few people who enjoyed the shadow seal could rarely enter the cabinet, which was also not in line with Zhao Zhoucheng's political ambitions, so he used to work hard to get stronger, step by step to get the show, raise people, and the beginning was smooth.

However, the first time he was full of ambition to participate in the examination after the middle lift, he ended up in the name of Sun Shan.

This made Zhao Zhoucheng a big blow, in order to be ashamed of the snow, after six years of hard study, even the ambiguous mind of flirting with the maidservant girl was temporarily rested, those six years were like the hardships and tediousness of the ascetic, and finally he was admitted to the Jinshi background, and later in order to stay in the museum, and after some setbacks, he ran for the Yue's family connections with his face, and it was easy to have the official position he has now, and it seems that it is to lay the foundation for entering the cabinet in the future, where is he willing to be a scholar?

And what did Zhao Lanting say?

Restraining him to obey the family rules of the clan order, no more violations, or guaranteed by Zhao Lanting, the implication is that he must accept the supervision of his nephew from now on, and obey his nephew's words, this is to make him completely give up the right to negotiate clan affairs, and even if he goes out of the door, he must first get Zhao Lanting's permission to communicate with relatives and friends, which is no different from house arrest!

So how did he help Concubine Hui and the Ten Princes seize the crown prince, and how did he realize his ambitions?

However, the second old lady and other clan elders, what they are afraid of is that Zhao Zhoucheng will continue to realize the "grand ambition", today's Xuan Zhutang is not like when the old lady was alive, after all, Lan Ting has a congenital deficiency as a junior, although it can win the hearts of the vast majority of people, but it is like Zhao Zhoucheng, thinking that without the deterrence of the old father, he can do whatever he wants, this acne is only after the death of Zhao Taishi, if it is not cured, this sores will cause the overall lesion of Xuan Zhutang, which is really a great disaster.

"If you don't want to be a leader, then you can only get rid of the clan according to family law." The third old lady was a violent temper, she raised her hand to pull her beard, and pulled it with all her strength: "It's a pity that Brother Tai and Brother Ge are two good seedlings, but they are affected by you, who are fathers." ”

Peng panicked first: "Zhishi, Zhishi, if he shouldn't, the clan elders will write a letter for him to complain about his illness, and the concubine is willing to testify that Zhao Zhoucheng has no medicine, otherwise, the clan elders simply beat him to the point that he is disabled and bedridden." ”

Zhao Zhoucheng: ......

Although Chungui once became the target of the two conspiracies today, he barely spoke, and then pretended to persuade Mrs. Peng: "The second uncle and the fourth uncle are worried about the second uncle and the fourth uncle to say this, but the second uncle doesn't have to be so anxious, I think that as long as the second uncle calms down, he will understand that although Zhishi has lived up to the cold window and studied hard, he will not be discredited after all." ”

These words were like a basin of cold water poured on Zhao Zhoucheng's head, and his anger was subdued, and he was completely sober.

Xuan Zhutang can be described as one of the most famous families in the capital, if he is really expelled from the clan, don't say gossip between the market, I'm afraid that it will immediately alarm the court, and even Emperor Hongfu will not ignore it, then today's various things will no longer be limited to the clan, and then don't talk about official positions, I'm afraid that I can't even save my life!

Zhao Zhoucheng could only choose to give in helplessly.

"Since Brother Ting is stubborn, unwilling to obey the will of the ancestors, he is determined to help the abuse, and he has persuaded the elders of the clan to completely ignore the society in order to protect the peace and glory in front of him, and I am unable to compete with the clan with my own strength, which is not only against the ambition of entering the office, but also has no shame to be a vegetarian meal."

Spring return: At this point, it's really a loss to the second master

I haven't forgotten to find a high-sounding step for myself.

Not to mention that Lantai and Lange heard their father's words, they were even more ashamed and self-ashamed, looking for a crack and hating to go in and hide for ten or eight years without showing their faces, but Zhao Zhoucheng thought that he had stepped down, and said with his chest straight: "It's just that the Peng family harmed me with so many flesh and bones, and today in front of the clan elders, I am disrespectful to my relatives, how can I tolerate such an unfilial and unvirtuous poisonous woman to be a wife again?" Peng's has committed seven crimes, and I will leave her to return. ”

Chungui couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Although Mrs. Peng is hateful, only the second master is not qualified to say the words of a wife, but don't say that he is sad for those children who have never been born, Lantai and Lange are not his biological flesh and blood, if this father has the slightest thought about his children, he can't say anything at this moment to insist on leaving his wife.

Lan Ting glanced at Mrs. Peng, and at this glance, she blocked back the complaint that Mrs. Peng was about to shout.

Inexplicably, she felt relieved, she actually understood her nephew's eyes, and she trusted her nephew extremely to be able to deter Zhao Zhoucheng, a bastard.

"If the second uncle insists on leaving his wife, then the various crimes committed by the second uncle can no longer be hidden."

Zhao Zhoucheng was like an angry King Kong on the spot, but he had to admit that Lan Ting's words were definitely not true.

When the Peng family is suspended, the Yue family will inevitably ask for an explanation, will the Peng family still hide those crimes for him? can only bite the bullet and continue to be husband and wife with the Peng family, the interests of the two are tightly tied together, at least the matter of seducing the grandson to assassinate the courtiers can cover up the past, An Ansheng will be the second master of his Taishi Mansion and keep the head of Xiang Shang.

Zhao Zhoucheng secretly decided that from now on, he must respect the Peng family into the ice, and he still has Meng Niang and Yulu's two concubines, so he has the right to treat the Peng family as if he has been retired, so she has to go to the empty room alone.

Thinking about it like this, Zhao Zhoucheng felt that he was not so aggrieved.

Lan Ting said: "However, the responsibility for the crimes committed by the second uncle and mother cannot be taken aside, especially the murder must not be forgiven, and the court thinks that the second uncle and mother should be punished to go to the Jinling clan nunnery to confess their crimes." ”

Of course, Mrs. Peng knew about the hermitage.

The Zhao clan has never been private/virgin dependents sinking into the pond for violent illness, and the female dependents are all sent to the Jinling clan nunnery to repent of their sins, and she also knows that the life she will face in the future is not only coarse tea and light rice, green lanterns and ancient Buddhas, and from now on, there are no servants around to serve, not to mention, and even copy Buddhist scriptures, spinning cloth needles and chisels, or planting vegetables, hoeing grass, scooping rice, collecting firewood, etc., and those sentenced prisoners are not much different. Such a day was originally an unbearable humiliation for her, but in order to protect her two sons from being affected, Peng had no choice.

She just pleaded: "Can you wait until the New Year to get Sister Fan out of the cabinet......"

Lan Ting bowed: "That's nature. ”

According to this, the public case of the Chinese New Year's Eve Festival in Xuanzhutang can be regarded as the dust has settled.

It is only Zhao Zhoucheng who is involved in colluding with the Duke of Wei to frame the prince of Wei in an attempt to lure the grandson.

Qu out of the way, because of curiosity, he still followed the third lady until the third master returned to the courtyard after the dinner was dispersed this day.

Chinese New Year's Eve is not quiet, the sound of firecrackers will also be heard in the courtyard of the deep house, the third lady has already removed the bun at this time except for the brocade clothes, the lights and shadows in the room are more and more lonely, but she is not sad because of this loneliness, but her expression is slightly frightened, a tea on the case is cold, she still stares at it.

When the third master came in, the third lady was still in a daze.

An inaudible sigh.

The third lady heard it, raised her eyes and looked over, she was sitting on the edge of the kang with her feet down, and she stood up to salute her, without moving.

The cold noise of etiquette is not at all like the words that should be spoken between husband and wife, she feels embarrassed when she listens to it, and when she looks at it, she finds that the two people who speak are also embarrassed, sitting in a precarious position across the kang, and she doesn't even meet her eyes.

"The old man drank too much during the day, so it was better to settle it earlier." The third lady stood up again, but it didn't look like she was going to go to the inner room with the third master.

"I'll sleep outside as usual, Mrs. will get up early tomorrow, and the second sister-in-law will not care about anything anymore, and how many affairs will need to be done by Mrs. until the Lantern Festival." The third master also stood up and returned the courtesy, so polite that no matter how you look at it, it feels weird.

The third lady really went to the inner room.

But the third master suddenly called her again, which made Qu out refreshed.

"There is one thing that needs to be ...... Madame, take it as my apology. The third master let out another almost inaudible sigh.

The third lady seemed to be confused, and then her eyes looked at her husband, and she came back hesitantly and still sat on the edge of the kang, still across a kang table.

The room was still full of lights and red, but what remained unchanged were two figures not far away.

The third master didn't say anything for a long time, as if the words were so unspeakable, and he struggled at the center of his eyebrows.

"But what's the trouble with the master?" The third lady also seemed to be unable to stand this inexplicable atmosphere, and hesitated to ask.

"It's today's accident."

"It's okay, it's the concubine who voluntarily cooperated with Brother Ting'er's plan, although it was inevitable that there was a discussion, but it can be confirmed that it was slandered by others, and the concubine didn't feel angry." The third lady said this in a hurry, and immediately smiled slightly after speaking.

"Madame ...... to Xicheng"

As soon as the third master said this half-sentence, the third lady's expression had changed greatly.

"I don't intend to blame Madame......" The third master hurriedly said: "No, I believe that Madame will never behave in a rude manner with the fourth brother, and I know that I am not qualified to question Madame......"

The third old man seemed to be even more flustered, and he didn't know how to explain his true intentions, so he raised his hand and pinched his eyebrow bone for a while, and then he seemed to be determined to complete the sentence: "It's me who has snubbed Madame, and I'm not considerate enough to treat Madame, I know that Madame has been like a single person over the years, but she still has to maintain a case with me and respect each other, and I can't understand the pain in Madame's heart...... It's all my fault. ”

"What's wrong with you, sir? What is wrong is nothing more than this convention, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders can not be resisted, and the concubine can only obey, who can know the love between people at that time, but it can't be because of the parents' matchmaking to promote birth, the lord and the concubine have done their best. The third lady calmed down after a short period of panic, and smiled helplessly: "I thought that husbands and wives in the world were like this, they didn't know each other, and it was normal for strangers to be estranged, and I and the lord never hated each other. Until the fourth brother-in-law entered the door and looked at her and the fourth brother...... I realized that my husband and I were never husband and wife. ”

She was very confused at that time, and couldn't understand why she didn't resist this marriage, but she just couldn't be intimate with her husband, like the fourth brother and the fourth brother.

They don't seem to have ever experienced a time of affection, they have been unable to get closer to each other since the night of the candle night in the cave room, and then gradually there is only family affection, they accommodate each other, but it is more and more awkward when they share a room at night.

It's from the bottom of my heart, I feel more comfortable staying alone.
