Second Uncle Zhao actually didn't care about Mrs. Zhu's testament at all, so naturally he couldn't answer, so he coughed dryly and prompted Mrs. Peng to answer.

"Mother Cao was originally the eldest sister-in-law's companion, and this was also said by Mother Cao, and in the early years, Mrs. Zhu's uncle also discussed with us about Rou, and the old lady also knew about it." Mrs. Peng understood and immediately put forward a basis.

The old lady frowned and said: "This is really not made up by the second daughter-in-law, Cao's mother did say this before, and several uncles of the Zhu family did mention it to me, the eldest daughter-in-law passed away early, and there is no way to take care of Brother Ting, and Rou is the eldest daughter-in-law personally trained out, the most stable, in the future, she will assist Brother Ting's daughter-in-law to serve Brother Ting'er, and the eldest daughter-in-law is in the spirit of heaven, and she must not be at ease." ”

"So, grandmother and second aunt both listened to Cao's mother's words?"

"How is this what Cao's mother said? Herou is the maid you chose for the eldest sister-in-law, right......"

"When the second uncle was young, all the maidservants in the house were chosen by the grandmother, and many of them were self-trained by the grandmother, but this does not mean that the grandmother was the concubine chosen for the second uncle, right? Grandfather has always strictly ordered the children of Xuan Zhutang not to follow the vulgar and ugly rules, and the concubines of the Tongfang room have not been completed before their studies have been completed, and Cao's mother has been a slave and a servant to despise the rules of the family, and the second aunt thinks that Xianci has also disobeyed the decree of the elder? ”

Mrs. Peng was speechless.

The old lady coughed dryly and said, "I just said that when Cao's mother said this, why did I think it was a little untrue?" I didn't remember that it was wrong here...... Speaking of which, this family rule was formulated by Ting Ge'er's great-grandfather himself, and it is indeed not like those Zhong Ding noble families, who are used to putting a few maids in the children's house first...... It was also the eldest daughter-in-law who passed away too early, so I believed Cao's mother's words, thinking that the eldest daughter-in-law had thought so carefully for Brother Ting before she passed away. ”

"Grandmother, even if Mother had such intentions, how could she entrust only a servant? The mother should be able to appeal to the grandmother herself. ”

The old lady hurriedly bowed her head: "What Brother Ting said is indeed true. ”

Second Uncle Zhao knew that the old lady's judgment could not be overturned, so he didn't argue anymore, but said: "Even if the Cao family is honest, but Dalang has been ordained, and it is indeed legal to take a concubine, Dalang doesn't look down on harmony and softness, and Dalang will not still be dissatisfied with the concubine room that his mother personally chose for Dalang." ”

"It is true that officials do not violate the law of the country by taking concubines, but there is no law that stipulates that officials must take concubines, and the nephew is now on a new career, and he does not dare to live up to his grandfather's hopes, and is determined to concentrate on his duties, let alone violate the ban of the ancestors not to delay/beauty, so the court does not consider the matter of taking concubines, and hopes that the grandmother will be exempt from labor."

Originally, whether Lan Ting had a concubine or not had nothing to do with Second Uncle Zhao, and he couldn't intervene in earnest, but Second Uncle Zhao's symptoms had been cultivated for a long time - when his deceased father made Lan Ting the head of the family, he was indignant, not that he had any intentions for the position of the head of the family, but he thought that he was more familiar with the world than his eldest brother, and his career should be more long-term than that of his eldest brother.

However, Zhao Taishi made the eldest grandson the head of the family, which is tantamount to clearly showing that he has no hope for his two sisters-in-law, believing that they cannot guarantee the long-term prosperity and stability of the family. This is a big blow to Uncle Zhao's speechlessness, although his eldest brother was also denied by his deceased father, but there is also a son who is deeply favored by his deceased father, and he can still have a "comforting" statement, so as not to be as disgraced as him.

Moreover, Lan Ting, as a junior nephew, was disrespectful to his uncle, and Xuan Yutang's major foreign affairs were rarely discussed with him since then, and his suggestions were never adopted and implemented, which made him think very highly

How can Second Uncle Zhao be willing, the feud between uncle and nephew has been going on for a long time and is getting thicker and thicker.

Therefore, when Second Uncle Zhao heard his wife complain today, he was impatient to embarrass his nephew and daughter-in-law, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to teach Lan Ting a lesson and dissipate the depression in his heart.

Now when he heard Lan Ting's rebuttal, he was immediately annoyed and angry: "Da Lang is using these high-sounding statements, is he accusing me and your father of violating the family motto and being lazy?" How ridiculous you are! Could it be that all men in the world are greedy for beauty when they take concubines? Wouldn't the three palaces and six courtyards of the Emperor's Heavenly Family also become lustful and misguided? Let me ask you again, the etiquette law has a big wedding for the royal family, and in addition to the main room, you need to choose a concubine to accompany you, and what should you say about helping the heirs prosper? Your remarks like this are simply fatherless and kingless! ”

Mrs. Peng immediately helped: "The children of the Gaomen clan take concubines, all for the sake of the prosperity of the incense, Brother Ting is the grandson of the eldest house, the head of the Xuan Zhutang family, in addition to the prosperity of the family business in the economic career, the prosperity of the heirs is also a priority, how can you use the family motto of Don't delay/beauty as a cover, just think about ......" She glanced at the spring return, and said meaningfully: "Don't blame your uncle for being angry, there is no short-term protection like you." ”

Even the old lady who has been favoring her grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law today is a little hesitant, and Chungui said the big truth: "Brother Ting's daughter-in-law is still young, and she doesn't think about the long-term in the end, you don't look at the people in the courtyard now, you can take care of it, and when you are pregnant in the future, you will understand, trivial and trivial things come one after another, and it is difficult to support it alone even if you are capable, you have to raise children, but also take care of housework, it is inevitable that you will be distracted and take care of this end, you can't do without helpers, some things can be handed over to the servants, but some things are ...... You can't always let the servant woman take care of the husband, you still have to persuade the court brother, you can't be so capricious about taking concubines. ”

Spring Return: ......

She knew that even if Uncle Zhao himself declared that he would not accept concubines, he would still blame her in the end.

"Grandmother, this matter is the grandson's insistence on making a decision and not listening to persuasion." Lan Ting said: "The court did not dare to blame the uncle for taking a concubine, let alone say that the uncle took a concubine for the sake of beauty, the reason why the court made this decision is nothing more than strict self-discipline, because the ancestors had great hopes for the court, and shouldered the responsibility of a prosperous family, the court had to be cautious."

The second uncle accused the court of slandering the royal law, then it is even more nonsense, such a statement is not only related to the nephew himself, but may even be connected to the family, so the court has to warn the second uncle to be cautious!

As for the prosperity of the heirs, there is a difference between the court and the popular people, thinking that this is the fate of the time and not by others, and it is really useless to force it. ”

didn't get involved, just glanced at Second Uncle Zhao meaningfully.

Chungui immediately stared at his toes, and couldn't help but smile and endure "liver and intestines": Second Uncle Zhao is very keen on taking concubines, and under the guise of prosperous heirs, but so far there are only two concubines, and many concubines are accepted in vain, isn't it useless to force them? But it's not fate, but if Second Uncle Zhao wants his heirs to prosper, he must first retire his "virtuous and virtuous" wife.

However, Lan Ting's statement did not seem to win the approval of the old lady, and she opened her mouth to say: "Why didn't the burden on your grandfather's shoulders be heavy back then, didn't he also accept the concubine ......"

"Mrs. Tai, the uncle and the grandmother are newly married after all, and the uncle is new to the official career, it is reasonable to want to have no distractions, the old slave thinks that the uncle will not accept the concubine for the time being, so Mrs. Tai will follow the uncle's opinion."

Chun Gui's eyes flashed - the person who ended this argument turned out to be Mama Su again, and there was really no one in the Taishi Mansion who could not interfere with the beak in the big and small matters in the Taishi Mansion.

On the way back to the Eagle Garden, Chun Gui expressed his doubts in his heart: "Is the old lady too partial to us?"

? It is reasonable to say that her old man does not insist on giving Aunt Herou the title, but it can be seen that she does not agree with the idea of not accepting a concubine at all, and she does plan to persuade her, but she was persuaded by Mama Su, so she gave up for the time being, and turned around and taught the second uncle a lesson, which comforted us not to worry about the second uncle and the second aunt. ”

Lan Ting was not surprised at all: "It is natural for grandmother to favor us, otherwise how could your second aunt try to make things difficult for you?" ”

The revelation in these words is confusing, but Lan Ting did not reveal it more clearly.

It seems that Uncle Zhao still has a lot of secrets in his heart and is unwilling to show them - Chun Hui is inexplicable and bored.

However, there must be someone else who is more bored, Second Uncle Zhao lost his temper at Mrs. Peng when he stepped out of the garden, accusing her of being worse than "Gu's bride", and gradually losing the old lady's favor caused the old lady to be more and more partial to the Lanting couple, and blamed Mrs. Peng for making a fuss and having nothing to do.

Mrs. Peng snorted coldly, and when she saw that the second master was gone, no shadow came out of her nose, she was still calm, but she was languid on the beauty couch listlessly, disgusted with the maid who was fanning the wind absent-mindedly, and snatched the silk fan with her hand, but she looked at the embroidery on the fan and was fascinated.

The henchman servant could understand Mrs. Peng's depression very well, so she broke away from the idle staff, looked around, and took a puff fan to cool off the mistress, while persuading: "Why did Madame hide that incident from the master?" If you tell the master, the master knows the reason why the lady did this, can he still be considerate? Madame didn't say a word, the old man's anger was hard to quench, but he cheapened the fox and the charming Meng. ”

"He has lost face and suffered wronged anger today, he will definitely be angry with me, it is the same whether he says it or not, in short, he deserves to sit back and enjoy the long-term benefits, and he should never be angry with him...... And you say that if he is not angry, he will not go to the prostitute surnamed Meng? His fresh energy hasn't passed yet, and all his joys, angers and sorrows are the reasons for going there for recreation. Mrs. Peng gently scraped the fan with her fingernails, as if the thin and sharp manless voice helped her think: "I deliberately hid it from him, so that he would still obey the old lady in the future, and only serve An Luhou Mansion and Concubine Hui, and not put the Peng family in his eyes, he should have understood that the old lady is not only his son, but also not only the two grandchildren of Brother Tai'erge, not to mention Zhao Lanting, which of An Luhou's children and grandchildren is not the old lady's sweetheart?" He couldn't just count on the old lady to take care of his two sons. ”

As he spoke, his nails scraped the fan twice: "Don't forget, in the past two days, I will go outside to find Herou to deliver a message, and teach her to know that there is a Gu family in this mansion for a day, and she will not be so easy to get ahead." ”

The servant woman was a little puzzled: "Uncle will leave He Rou in the outer courtyard and ignore it, what other tricks can this slave and maid play?" ”

"If she didn't have any means, there would be no place to stand in this mansion for a long time, and I don't care if she can succeed or not, in short, it won't be beneficial to the Gu family...... Don't look at Gu's now, it seems that she is going to be windy and rainy, she underestimated that people's words are terrible and ruined. ”

"Is it difficult for Madame, is it really necessary to have an enmity with the Gu family?"

"If I don't enmity with her, do I still have to curry favor with her?" As soon as Mrs. Peng worked hard, the exquisite fan surface was scraped to the brim: "Even if there are no antecedents and consequences, I think she is really dazzling, and the little slut who is rampant with pride, relying on the fox to cling to the obscene goods of the powerful, she dares to be arrogant in front of me!" Wait and see, I won't let her have a good time! ”
