Chapter Seventy-Four: Shallow Eyelids

Soon it was time for Chen Wanying to return to the door in three dynasties.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Sun got up and brought them gifts back to the door.

Chen Wanying's eyes flashed when she saw the gift list: "Mother, this is too precious, they are all a family, there is no need to be like this." ”

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "How can you be lighthearted when you return to the door?" Besides, our Sun family is not bad. After a pause, she said casually: "And your second uncle and second aunt love you, and they always want them to know that you are doing well." ”

Mrs. Sun deliberately mentioned Zhao Tingshan and the Liu family, which was implying that Zhao Tingshan loved her, and she should also be grateful, and she would definitely give the gift to Zhao Tingshan, and Zhao Tingshan naturally understood the kindness of the Sun family, but she didn't expect Chen Wanying not to think so.

Chen Wanying was moved in her heart, and she only felt that the Sun family valued her, so she prepared such a valuable gift.

And since she got married, Mrs. Sun has treated her kindly and considerately, without making rules, and taking her with her and teaching her to learn to manage family affairs. Sun Jingze was also very good to her, and the little couple was even more affectionate.

Chen Wanying felt that her life was smoother than in the Zhao family.

Sun Jingze accompanied Chen Wanying back to the Zhao family, this is the first time the Zhao family has married a daughter, so naturally they value it very much, Zhao Tingshan did not come back, Zhao Tingxu and Sun Jingze had a good drink, and even Zhao Wenyu, who was preparing for the exam, came out.

Chen Wanying and Zhao Qingru returned to the room to talk privately.

"It's all good, my mother-in-law is good to me, just like my own daughter, and my husband is good to me." Chen Wanying said, and took out the gifts prepared at home, but she exchanged the gifts prepared by Mrs. Sun for the Liu family with Zhao Qingru.

Although the gift prepared by Mrs. Sun for Zhao Qingru was also very precious, Chen Wanying felt that it was not as exquisite as Liu's, she thought, anyway, there was no difference, naturally she wanted to give her own mother the best.

"Mother, look at it, these are all prepared by my mother-in-law."

Zhao Qingru looked at the gift she took out, and couldn't help laughing, "You are finally not married." ”

Chen Wanying nodded solemnly, "Mother, don't worry!" ”

After dinner, Sun Jingze went back to Sun's house with Chen Wanying, Sun Jingze drank a lot of wine, and his consciousness was a little blurred.

Chen Wanying sent a maid to talk to Mrs. Sun, and then took Sun Jingze back to the room first. Originally, she thought that her mother-in-law was so good to her, but now that her husband has drunk too much, of course she has to take care of her husband first, and her mother-in-law will not say anything.

This maid was sent to her by Mrs. Sun in the name of teaching her housekeeper, in order to help her recognize the housekeeper and maid of the Sun family as soon as possible.

Chen Wanying only regarded it as her mother-in-law's intimacy, but she didn't think that this was the eyeliner that Mrs. Sun placed beside her.

The maid went to see Mrs. Sun, who frowned and didn't say anything.

"Did you see the young grandmother give the gift to the second wife?"

The maid hesitated for a moment, and then stopped talking.

Mrs. Sun's brows furrowed even more: "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the young grandmother gave the gift to the second wife to her mother-in-law."

Mrs. Sun's face sank suddenly, what she prepared for the Liu family was a jasper hairpin, which looked inconspicuous, but this jade material and workmanship were the best, and they still flowed out of the palace, I didn't expect Chen Wanying to be so knowledgeable and so bold to dare to exchange her gifts!

"It seems that she is still too good to her, dare to be so unruly!" A touch of disgust flashed in Mrs. Sun's eyes, and she only felt that Chen Wanying's style was too petty.

Mrs. Sun paused, and couldn't help the disgust in her heart: "I know that it is a thing that can't be put on the table, and everyone is beautiful!" ”

In the evening, Mrs. Sun told Sun Fugui about it, and Sun Fugui frowned when she heard it.

Marrying Chen Wanying and entering the door was completely for Zhao Tingshan's relationship, and looking at Zhao Tingshan's attitude towards Chen Wanying, he also felt sorry for this niece, Chen Wanying was so ignorant, he didn't expect it.

"Forget it, for Lord Zhao's sake, don't worry about her." Sun Fugui said: "This time we are going to the south to transport grain and grass, Lord Zhao personally sent an elite team to escort it, this relationship, in the end, you can bear with it." ”

Mrs. Sun had no choice but to press it down.

Chen Wanying's marriage seems to have given Mrs. Zhao an inspiration, and she seems to think that she can get a lot of benefits by marrying her granddaughter, so she began to look at others more enthusiastically.

However, Mrs. Zhao directly crossed Zhao Siyin and landed on Zhao Siyan.

On this day, Mrs. Zhao called Liu over to speak, and mentioned Zhao Siyan's marriage.

"Siyan is also old, and she is almost over, and her marriage should look like each other." Mrs. Zhao said with a little affinity.

Liu nodded, she and Mrs. Zhao coincided with each other, but after the previous Zhang family's affairs, Liu still had a little bit of mustard in her heart.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law also thinks it's time to consider Siyan's family affairs," Liu said, "It's just that I think that as long as I have a good character and a good relationship with Siyan, I won't ask for anything else." ”

Liu's two requirements naturally couldn't satisfy Mrs. Zhao, what's the use of having a good character? It is the most important thing to bring tangible benefits to the Zhao family.

So Mrs. Zhao's face pale, but after the last Zhang family's incident, she also has experience, and she can't be forced too hard, otherwise the good family affairs will be mixed up by the Liu family again.

Now thinking about the position of the master book that is about to arrive, Mrs. Zhao's heart is still hurting.

"What you said is not bad, Siyan is my granddaughter, can I still harm her? But even if you value character, this family is also very important, and I don't want my granddaughter to marry and suffer! Mrs. Zhao swore and said: "Speaking of which, I really have a good candidate, the second son of Luo Jiaoyu, Luo Gongzi is nineteen years old this year, born in a scholarly family, this character will not be bad." ”

If you can do the teaching, you must have won the Jinshi, and the banner is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, and the status of the Luo family in Dengzhou is naturally self-evident.

Luo's edict can be regarded as a peach and plum all over the world.

This is a good family, the Liu family couldn't help but feel a little moved, "Would a family like the Luo family be willing to marry us?" ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled: "This is just a casual mention by me, and I have to continue to look at each other, how can there be a reason to choose only one?" Besides, our family is knowledgeable, why can't we be worthy? ”

Seeing Mrs. Zhao's attitude, Liu's heart settled down a lot, maybe she was really a good person.

She nodded, "Okay, mother, then I'll go back and inquire and see." ”

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled and nodded: "You also tell Siyan, after all, it is her marriage." ”

Liu was a little surprised, she didn't expect Mrs. Zhao to be so easy to talk this time, she would definitely say that family affairs were all the words of her parents.

After Liu went back, he told Zhao Siyan about it.

"I have also heard of this Luo teaching, the reputation is very good, even if there are children from poor families who do not have the money to study, they are willing to give one or two graces, and they have not been less secretly helped, such children who are educated by others must not be bad." Liu said with a smile.

Zhao Siyan frowned, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that grandmother wants to let the eldest brother go to study in the school." ”

Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then became a little helpless: "Siyan, this is your marriage, you should also have a snack, how can a woman not marry?" ”

Zhao Siyan nodded: "Mother, I didn't say that I wouldn't marry, but since this Luo Gongzi is so good, why isn't he married now?" ”

It doesn't matter if a man doesn't get married at the age of nineteen, it's rare to see that he doesn't even have a marriage.

Liu Shi chuckled in his heart, thinking of Old Lady Zhao's habits, he began to be uncertain again.

Zhao Siyan said: "Mother, now that my grandfather is at home, why don't you write a letter and ask him to help inquire?" ”

In the end, it was a major marriage event related to Zhao Siyan, Liu nodded, and immediately wrote a letter and sent it back to his parents' house.

When Mrs. Zhao heard that the Liu family had sent the letter, she sneered and said to the eldest lady: "This is to prevent me!" Hmph, she's getting more and more excessive, and she doesn't have me as an elder in her eyes at all! ”

"If she wants to check, let her check it, and we have a clear conscience." The eldest lady persuaded gently.

There is really nothing bad about this Luo family's son, and he is not afraid of the Liu family to investigate.

The Liu family soon sent a letter back, the second son of the Luo family is named Luo Yaohui, and there is really nothing bad about it, whether it is background or conduct, it is blameless, the reason why there has been no marriage is because the Luo family is too picky.

As a strict scholarly family, the Luo family really strictly follows the teachings of the sage book, the rules are strict, and the family style is rigorous and rigid.

However, Liu Tianye said in the letter that he did not want Zhao Siyan to marry him.

As soon as the young grandmother of the Luo family entered the door, Mrs. Luo set up a rule, every morning and dusk, rain or shine, even the meal, you have to serve the mother-in-law to serve the husband, if you have a child, you have to serve the child, and then the young grandmother can eat.

The whole family strictly abides by the rules and does not go beyond one step. It can be said that this is a family with extreme rules.

When Liu Shi heard this, he was frightened: "This can't be done, Siyan is in the past, don't you have to endure hardship?" ”

Zhao Siyan also looked helpless, the rules of this thing, some people really can't find fault with it, and I don't know how the young grandmother of the Luo family endured it?

"I heard that the Luo family is very satisfied." Bao inquired about the little girl Green Lotus to dedicate the news: "I listened to Sister Yubi of Helan Garden, the news is absolutely reliable!" I heard that the Luo family knew that our young lady had made up a painting, and they were very appreciative, so even if our Zhao family's family was a little lower, the Luo family decided to tolerate it, after all, raise your head to marry a daughter, bow your head to marry a wife! The young grandmother in front of the Luo family heard that her background was very ordinary. ”

The word tolerance aroused Zhao Siyan's sideways. Maybe the Luo family looks at Zhao Siyan with a low-marrying attitude, and thinks that such a daughter-in-law is easy to handle and can continue to follow the strict rules of the Luo family.

A hint of mockery flashed in Zhao Siyan's eyes, she didn't despise these rules, everyone has their own way of life, she just couldn't agree with it, and she couldn't live such a life.

Liu sighed, "What can I do?" Or this marriage will be back, right? ”

The Liu family is really helpless, she doesn't understand, her daughter is not bad at anything, why is it so difficult to get married? Chen Wanying can marry well, why can't her daughter? There is the Zhang family first, and then the Luo family, and there is no normal family.

But in fact, whether it is the Zhang family or the Luo family, in the eyes of outsiders, this is a good marriage. Don't mention the Zhang family, Dengzhou Taishou, the governor of one party, with the Zhao family's door, is Gao Pan; Needless to say, the Luo family is also a noble family.

Both families are actually good marriages, and there are few women who want to marry in the past.

"No, I'll talk to your grandmother! You can't just give the marriage in a daze! "Liu couldn't sit still.

Zhao Siyan didn't stop her, and she couldn't stop her if she knew.

Liu went to find Mrs. Zhao, and when she started, she was scolded back by Mrs. Zhao.

"What kind of family is the Luo family? You can't even look at it? I don't know how noble your background is? Could it be that it is still a relative of the emperor? The Luo family is a serious scholar, and more than half of the entire Dengzhou are students of Luo's teachings, are you still not satisfied? What kind of country are you a daughter of? What kind of marriage do you want to marry! ”

"Is it wrong to follow the rules? It's a thing that doesn't have rules and can't be put on the table! Old Lady Zhao scolded unceremoniously.

But Mrs. Zhao would not have thought that she would scold the Liu family with blood, and Mrs. Sun also commented on her granddaughter.

Liu couldn't say a word when he was scolded, and went back in a gloomy manner.

Zhao Siyan watched her enter the door with a depressed face, and sighed helplessly.

Liu said: "Siyan, you have always been smart, you must think of a way, you must not marry into the Luo family!" ”

The Liu family also understood that it was impossible for Mrs. Zhao to refuse, and this time, they had to let themselves save themselves.

Liu thought that Zhao Siyan was so smart, there would definitely be a way, just like the last time he did to the Zhang family, didn't Zhao Siyan solve it very satisfactorily?

Zhao Siyan sighed and said seriously: "Mother, even if the Luo family solves it, maybe there are still the Wang family, the Li family, and the Liu family, we can't solve it," After a pause, she continued: "And this time, grandmother will definitely try her best to promote this marriage, she will definitely be vigilant and will not let us do anything." ”

The last time the Zhang family's marriage didn't come to fruition, the blow to Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao was too great, and it was impossible for them to give them another chance.

"Luo's teachings are all over the world, many of them have become officials, the eldest brother is about to go to the imperial examination, if it is done, maybe he will enter the court as an official, but our Zhao family has no connections, and the Luo family will definitely need the help of the Luo family at that time, even if the eldest brother fails to be admitted, he will also enter the government to study in the future." Zhao Siyan said and paused: "Not only the eldest brother, but also Wenkang and Wenxi, so this marriage is inevitable for grandmother." ”

"So, what should I do?" Liu said with a panicked face: "Or, why don't you let your father come back?" ”

Zhao Siyan sighed again, her mother is like this, as long as something happens, first look for her, and then look for Zhao Tingshan.

Zhao Siyan glanced at her mother, there was one sentence she didn't say, only by breaking away from the Zhao family could she completely get rid of the control of Mrs. Zhao.

Zhao Tingshan's treason with the enemy is over, but Zhao Siyan did not relax her vigilance, she always felt that the Zhao family might still have a moth, and she couldn't rest assured.

Now may be a good opportunity to completely get rid of the Zhao family's control.

Thinking of this, Zhao Siyan's eyes flashed.

"Green Lotus, you can help me deliver a letter later." Zhao Siyan said lightly.

Liu looked at his daughter's beautiful and tranquil face, and for some reason, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Although there is insufficient evidence to identify Zhao Tingshan as collaborating with the enemy and treason, Zhao Tingshan has no way to completely clear the suspicion.

Wen Jingting can't prove Zhao Tingshan's guilt, but Zhao Tingshan can't prove his innocence, as for others, it's hard to say.

Therefore, if Zhao Tingshan wants to completely clear the suspicion, it will take a lot of trouble.

So Zhao Tingshan went to see Li Junze: "Lord Shizi, the last general asks to send troops to recapture Hanlin Town and avenge the dead brothers and people!" ”

Li Junze frowned, although this Hanlin Town is only a small town, the location of this town is very important, and now after the Liao people take it, they have sent heavy troops to guard it, which is a hard bone.

"Lord Zhao is sure?"

Zhao Tingshan nodded heavily: "If you don't recapture Hanlin Town, the end general will not be a man!" ”

Wen Jingting listened, but sneered: "Lord Zhao said this beautifully, but anyone can say beautiful things, but Lord Zhao's suspicion has not yet been cleared, at this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, if something happens again, the loss will be my great banner!" ”

"Then I wonder if Wen Shizi has a better candidate?" Li Junze asked.

"I don't have any other candidates, but I think Lord Zhao should also want to clear his name, right? Why don't Lord Zhao take his family to garrison Hanlin Town together, so that no one can question Lord Zhao's loyalty anymore? Wen Jingting said, and looked at Zhao Tingshan with a smile.

Zhao Tingshan bowed his head slightly without changing his face: "Wen Shizi is right, I don't hide it, I have this intention!" I didn't expect it to be said by Wen Shizi in advance! ”

"Second uncle!" Gu Chenfeng couldn't help but speak, paused, he looked at Wen Jingting: "Wen Shizi, there has never been a reason to bring his family to the battlefield, Wen Shizi is not afraid of criticism from the soldiers when he does this?" ”

"I did this precisely to dispel the doubts of the soldiers, and also for the good of Lord Zhao, this is the best opportunity to prove Lord Zhao's innocence, I think Lord Zhao should not let go of this opportunity, right?" Wen Jingting stared at Zhao Tingshan and asked.

Li Junze's brows furrowed fiercely, he didn't expect Wen Jingting to suddenly be so difficult, Zhao Tingshan's family, the Liu family and Zhao Siyan would definitely not be able to escape, Li Junze didn't want to let Zhao Siyan go over and take risks.

But Zhao Tingshan didn't understand his worries at all.

Zhao Tingshan's attitude was firm: "Since Hanlin Town was lost in the hands of the last general, the last general must take it back, otherwise it can't show the determination of the last general!" The last general has made up his mind, and he also asks the prince to fulfill it! ”
