At noon, the mother and the others ate together, Zilan coaxed the old lady to eat half a bowl of rice, and accompanied her to the garden for a walk, just their grandchildren.

"Grandmother, you're worried about the affairs of the clan."

"Yes, your grandfather said that he planned to retire after this year, and the emperor was relieved, and the Cui family had to move. We're old, and this ship can't protect them. ”

The old lady sighed, she was thinking about her feelings, and she also used the strength of the whole clan to push her husband to the position of Xiangye, which means that other relatives who still have some opportunities to be promoted have no chance, and the family can only produce one high-ranking official, and others have no chance.

But the clansmen have no complaints, and they have been cautious all these years, and they have never gone out to cause trouble, but they are finally old, and the children have thoughts, and the children are too big to be mothers.

"I understand, I will come up with a plan as soon as possible, and I want my method to correct a big mistake, catch it and beat it hard, and reform it while the situation is on."

"I don't know any of this, just do what you want, discuss it with your grandfather and them, let me pretend to be deaf and dumb or be a sound worm, I will cooperate with you."

The old lady smiled and promised.

"Thank you grandmother for trusting me so much, I will do my best."

Zilan was grateful for the unconditional trust of the two old men, and was willing to give it a try.

"Good boy, I have worked hard for you, you have not enjoyed the glory of the Cui family, but it is so hard for you to marry in, and you may be questioned and wronged in the future.

Child, your grandfather and I can't stand you, but I can assure you that no matter what happens at any time, the Cui family trusts you, and they are not to the point of incorrigibility. ”

Zilan helped the old lady to accept it, and said solemnly, "Grandmother, what do you say, it's serious."

At the beginning, I was still a little girl, and I was very satisfied with the Cui family. Why do we have to suffer, we are a family, and we should work together when we have difficulties. ”

"Yes, you're right, work together, I'm old, and the rest will be left to you. It's not that I didn't think about your sister-in-law before, but she lacks courage and means, but she has a good advantage to accommodate people.

Whether it's a tutor or not, she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, considering that you will get along for the rest of your life in the future, and your aunt likes her too, I will let her in. ”

"You're talking about home and everything."

Zilan lowered her head slightly and listened, this was the old lady teaching her alone.

"That's right, I'm relieved that you understand this truth, do you see that your mother-in-law and your aunt are also quite harmonious?

Even if there are a few shortcomings, the flaws are not hidden, there are not so many bullshit things at home, and the men are also close to unity, which is the biggest benefit.

There are always regrets in life, you can't be perfect everywhere, what you ask for is enough. ”

The old lady walked slowly, her demeanor was very loving and tolerant, and she would feel very peaceful and peaceful when she got along, and she didn't dare to disturb the old man with any irritability in her heart.

"Grandmother, am I too hard? Before I got married, my grandmother, grandfather, and my mother repeatedly reminded me in different ways, telling me to discuss everything with my second grandfather and elders, and not to act arbitrarily. ”

The old lady smiled gently at her, her eyebrows and eyes were full of soothing power, tenacious and calm, that was the gentleness after years of tempering.

"You're not too hard, you're too affectionate, sometimes we can be tactful and not so direct, such as touching the pillar and wiping the neck, really don't need it."

The old lady teased with kindness, and Zilan couldn't help laughing.

"I won't be in the future, really, Uncle Yuping and the others are not only protecting me, but also supervising me, my father is afraid that I am going to touch the pillar, cough cough cough!"

Zilan blinked her eyes, very embarrassed.

"I didn't say this to slap your face, that day Brother Hao rang'er came back covered in blood, knelt in front of me and his grandfather, and cried with a whimper.

He said that he didn't expect that it would be a girl who would protect them, and she exchanged her life for their life, and she couldn't hold her head up as a man.

That's why your grandfather must bring that painting back to the clansmen, and want the Cui family's clansmen to know where you are.

Brother Hao was raised by his grandfather since he was a child, but he was actually afraid that his mother would raise him crookedly.

This boy was very hard working and persevering, and he was also very smart but he never got carried away, because he was smart, he worked harder than others, and his grandfather was afraid that he would become a wound Zhongyong, and he was very strict with his upbringing.

Over the years, you are the only girl who has been nagged by him, and he is not even close to his sisters.

Before the study tour, he came to me to intercede and wanted to marry you, and I asked him why. ”

The old lady talked about it, Zilan listened to Cui Hao, listened carefully, and was very curious about why Cui Hao liked herself.

He said, I don't know, I just can't forget her, she's different from other girls. I think she is suitable for me and the Cui family, and if she goes to another family, she may bury this talent.

Another one I like her, I can't forget it in my heart, and I beg my grandmother to fulfill me. ”

The old lady paused when she said this, and Zilan guessed that there was something to follow.

"The person who said it at the beginning was not you, you are a little younger, Brother Hao is a year older than your brother.

We started by talking about your sister's poetry. But Cui Hao was unwilling, so his grandfather agreed with him to win the first Ming Yuanlang, and assume the responsibility of the head of the family in the future, so he will marry you for him.

At that time, he also said that he wanted to see you, and if he couldn't bear the responsibility of the clan woman, he would still reject it, and he would do it all.

You will know the rest of the matter, our old fellow discussed it in private, and left a three-year gap to observe each other, so as not to hurt the child's reputation.

We didn't expect that in just three years, you did something earth-shattering, and even the emperor repeatedly praised your innocence, which also made the old man believe that you were the patriarch of the Cui family. ”

Zilan blushed slightly, "I actually wanted to marry into a big family from the beginning, the reason is that I don't accept concubines, and I have a small heart. Later, it was the Li family brother who didn't take a fancy to me and thought I was too young and childish. ”

The old lady laughed, but did not pierce her words of exalting Li Qing.

"I'm telling you this, I want to tell you that Cui Hao loves you more than you think, give him a chance and give yourself a chance, you still need to walk a lot in the future, encounter a lot of difficulties, you have to support each other and trust each other."

"Grandmother, I remember, I like him, but I'm not sure if I love him, I think love and like are different, I do this promise for a lifetime, I won't repent, I have to be cautious."

Zilan tilted her head and winked mischievously, "Don't tell him, you have to be patient when chasing girls, and besides, I won't run, so what's the panic." ”

The old lady laughed and nodded happily, "Okay, I won't say it, my poor grandson." ”

"Grandmother, you can't be partial."

"Okay, grandmother loves you."
