Chapter 213: Recommendations
Zhen Guogong has always believed that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, although some of his children and grandchildren are gentle, some are motivated, he doesn't care about the general situation, as long as they don't make any big trouble, even if he knows, he will pretend to turn a blind eye.
It's just that after reaching the twilight of life, it is inevitable that there will be a pity in the heart that the children in the family have not been able to inherit their mantle, even if he recognizes Duan Lian who he brought back from the battlefield as a righteous son and has been with him for many years, there will still be regrets in his heart.
The day before yesterday, Duan Chengwen and Princess Zhaoyue finally got married, and today the young couple went back to the Zhenguo Mansion to recognize their relatives, and the Zhenguo Gong learned that Emperor Chu decided to transfer Duan Shaolan from the Jinqiwei and let him go to the military department. Zhenguo Gong was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, although Duan Lian had been trained in the army with him for many years, his temperament was more suitable for leading troops outside. But the connections he has managed in the military department for many years need an heir like Duan Shaolan who is really connected to his blood to inherit it better.
"Okay, I've pretty much the same thing you should pay attention to when you go to the military department. In a while, you will go out with me and see who's to be seen. In the future, all these connections will be handed over to you. "Zhen Guogong said that he wouldn't give Duan Chengwen's father and son a chance to speak, and directly waved his hand to drive their father and son away." Go back today with both of you, father and son, I'm a little tired and want to rest. ”
Duan Chengwen and Duan Shaolan had no choice but to get up and leave the courtyard of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Walking on the way back to the courtyard of the second room, Duan Chengwen and Duan Shaolan were silent.
"Father, Sister Chu's matter ......" After a long time, he could see the branches in the second room garden winding out of the wall, Duan Shaolan hesitated and said.
On weekdays, Duan Chengwen and Duan Shaolan are always very busy, and they have to leave the house at dawn every day, and they return home very late. Every time they saw Sister Chu, she looked happy, they didn't expect Sister Chu to eat such grievances in her own house. I've always been at ease with her. Knowing such a thing today, the Duan family's father and son felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
"But since the princess has already come out for Sister Chu, don't mention this matter again." Duan Chengwen thought for a moment and said. "In the final analysis, Sister Zhu and Sister Chu are both children, and it is not good for us to meddle rashly as father and brother. Your mother is gentle and submissive, and she is not as effective in dealing with such things as a princess. ”
Duan Chengwen knows the character of the county lord of Duansu best, and knows that she is not good at dealing with such things, and Mrs. Shizi knows this so that she will be perfunctory for her to stand up for Sister Chu.
Princess Zhaoyue was caught off guard by this experience, and she did not ask how to deal with Sister Shi'er, but forced Mrs. Shizi to dispose of Sister Zi herself, which made Mrs. Shizi have taboos in her heart.
On the carriage back to the princess's mansion, Xiao Xuan knew that Duan Shaolan must be thinking about Sister Chu's affairs. But before, in order to take care of Sister Chu'er's mood, she wouldn't talk about it in front of Sister Chu.
So on the carriage back home, Xiao Xuan pulled Duan Shaolan and told him the ins and outs of today's events in detail.
"It turns out that Sister Chu has been bullied by Sister Chu in the house for so long." Duan Shaolanzai listened carefully to Xiao Xuan's relay, and felt very guilty about his sister Sister Chu. "It's all my fault, I go out early and return late every day, I see her smiling happily in front of me, but I never ask her about her daily life."
"Sister Chu is a good child, hiding that she was bullied just because she didn't want you to worry about her, and her mother didn't solve the problem when she found Mrs. Shizi many times." Xiao Xuan lightly held Duan Shaolan's hand and comforted him. "Fortunately, I almost finished things today, I heard that I didn't use dinner in the house today, and Sister Yan has been sent to live in another courtyard outside the city. I pinched what Mrs. Shizi cared about, even if Sister Zi'er was taken back to the Zhenguo Mansion in the future, it would be okay, Mrs. Shizi would be optimistic about Sister Zi'er, and she would not let her have another chance to provoke Sister Chu. ”
"I should thank you, today you went back to your house to recognize your relatives, but you encountered such a thing." Duan Shaolan listened to Xiao Xuan's words, knowing that she was wholeheartedly for Sister Chu'er, his heart couldn't help but soften, and he raised his hand to hold Xiao Xuan's hand. "But Sister Chu's temperament, I really can't rest assured."
"I know your worries, you are worried that if Sister Chu gets married in the future, with her temperament, even if she is bullied in her husband's family, she will not go back to her parents' house to complain if she has grievances." Xiao Xuan pondered for a moment and echoed. "So I thought that in a few days, I would send someone to pick up Sister Chu to live in the house for a while, and in the future, I would take her with me whenever I went out for a walk. I took her out for a walk more, one is to change her heart, and the other is to add identity to her. ”
When Xiao Xuan said this, she paused when she thought of something in her heart.
"Shaolan." Xiao Xuan paused for a moment and said in a low voice. "Sister Chu bullied Sister Chu, but it was because she didn't look down on Sister Chu's background. In the future, even if I stand up for Sister Chu, what can really help her consolidate her position in her husband's family still needs to be done by her father and mother. ”
"What do you mean?"
"The prince of Zhenguo is incompetent, and most of his heirs are useless, even if they are my eldest sister's concubine. Sister Yan's own self-control is that his father is the one who inherits the Zhenguo Mansion, and the second room has always been dependent on the Zhenguo Mansion to survive. Xiao Xuan made up his mind, looked into Duan Shaolan's eyes and said. But what if there is a change in the position of the son in the future? ”
When Xiao Xuan talked about such a topic coldly, Duan Shaolan was slightly stunned for a while.
"My uncle is the only disciple under the knees of my grandfather and grandmother, and my aunt is the queen in the palace. Duan Shaolan said. "My father is a concubine, when he was a child, his grandfather was fighting outside, his father was quite aggrieved under the hands of his uncle and aunt, and his grandmother wanted to raise his father to be abolished, but fortunately, his father was motivated, and he came to this day step by step, and he got his grandfather's blue eyes. My aunt also wanted to meddle in my marriage with Sister Chu in order to win over my father again. ”
"Hmph." When Xiao Xuan heard this, he pursed his lips and snorted angrily.
"Okay, don't be angry." Duan Shaolan looked at Xiao Xuan, couldn't help laughing, and touched Xiao Xuan's hair. "My father and mother begged my grandfather to come forward and refuse my aunt."
"You think about what I said, our children will definitely have titles in the future, but what about Sister Chu and Brother Bin, it's time for father and mother to think about them. Brother Bin is still young at the moment and doesn't talk about him, just talk about Sister Chu, Sister Chu should get married in a few years. Xiao Xuan was quickly touched by Duan Shaolan Shunmao and lost his temper, and continued to talk about the topic of Fang Cai. Sister Chu needs to rely on more advantageously, but I also understand what you said. If you obey the queen and marry the person she arranged, she may really support you, since you marry me, in her heart, I am afraid that your second room is no longer her own person in her heart. ”
"I've written down everything you said, and I'll mention it to my father when I have time." Duan Shaolan raised his arm, hooked Xiao Xuan's body, hugged her into his arms, and kissed her affectionately on the side of her face.
A few days later, Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan went to the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou to say hello to the eldest princess of Yongshou and Liu Yuma.
Duan Shaolan was dragged to the outer hall by Xiao Xuan's cousins to talk, and the eldest princess of Yongshou pulled Xiao Xuan to sit beside her.
"Look at Xuan'er's complexion is getting better and better." The eldest princess of eternal life said with a smile. "Grandmother is relieved."
"Grandmother, I'm doing well, and he's very good to me." Xiao Xuan held the arm of the eldest princess of eternal life and said sweetly. "I have my own princess's mansion, it will be convenient to enter and exit in the future, and my mother has specially instructed me, I will definitely come over to talk and chat with you and grandfather more in the future."
"There are a lot of people in my house, and it's lively, so I don't need you to always come over to accompany me." The eldest princess of Yongshou said. "Since you young husband and wife are married, it is only right that you give birth to a great-grandson to me as soon as possible. I don't want you to accompany me, but I also want a little great-grandson to accompany me. ”
As soon as the eldest princess of Yongshou finished speaking, the ladies in the hall all laughed quietly.
"Mother is really in a hurry, even if the princess is married, she is still too young now." Seeing Xiao Xuan, who had just gotten married, He blushed with shame, and hurriedly opened his mouth to relieve her. "Mother, don't make fun of the princess."
"Yo, are we ashamed?" The eldest princess of Yongshou said with a smile.
After Xiao Xuan accompanied the eldest princess of Yongshou for a while, he thought of something else, so he directly told the eldest princess of eternal life.
"Grandmother, I'll come over to talk to you again in the future, can I bring Sister Chu with me?" Xiao Xuan said.
"Sister Chu? It's your colt's own sister. The eldest princess of eternal life asked. Why did you think you wanted to bring her along? ”
"Yes, she is a colt, doesn't my grandmother like to be lively in recent years, and often hold flower banquets in the house?" Xiao Xuan has the intention to take Sister Chu out for a walk, and she has more contacts, hoping that Sister Chu's own temperament can also change a little. "At the moment, Brother Bin'er is too young, and the mother of the horse takes care of him, and she is afraid that she can't often take Sister Chu out for a walk. I saw that Sister Chu was almost old, and it was good to be able to walk outside more. ”
"Well, I have an impression of the child you mentioned, it turns out that Duan Su came to me to ask for peace. Like the horses, they are all good-looking children, but they are a little timid and always look timid. The eldest princess of Yongshou thought about it and said. Okay, I know what you're going to do, that kid should be out and about. As long as you come in the future, take her with you and come and talk to me. ”
"Really, thank you, grandmother." Xiao Xuan was overjoyed.
The eldest princess of Yongshou has a transcendent status in the imperial capital, Sister Chu can appear in front of her a few more times, I don't know how many wives of the family will appear at the flower banquet, and the natural ears and eyes who can be invited to the mansion by their grandmother are clear, and the benefits to Sister Chu in the future are self-evident.
