Chapter 358: The Mu Family (2)
Of course, Gongsun Lan hadn't heard of Mu Chen, but she deliberately said wildly, just to ask the other party to show the right attitude to face her. Just as an emperor would never summon a beggar to him to ask for advice. If you don't have an equal right to speak, you won't be able to win the attention and attention of the other party, and what you say won't have weight.
She and Yang Zheng came to Yasukuni, and under the impetus of the current situation, they each entered one of the largest families in Yasukuni, and gradually touched the core things, and every move will affect the development and results of countless things. She had to take ten steps at a time, and since she had chosen to wade in this muddy water, she had to be foolproof.
Mu Chen, which is related to the position of the entire Rongguo Mansion, is a key step in this.
But in Mu Chen's eyes, Gongsun Lan may still be positioned as "the daughter born to his wife and ex-husband", even if he has some skills, he can at most be regarded as a powerful "thorn in the eye", and he can't talk to him on an equal footing.
Gongsun Lan felt that if she used time to prove herself, it was too slow, and she couldn't wait that long, so she chose to use a fierce collision to attract the attention of the other party, which was similar to "not fighting, not knowing". The purpose of this move is to make her identity clear, pull herself out of the other party's prejudice, and stand in front of him independently!
It's what she does best, the way to attack the heart!
Seeing that Mu Chen's face was like a thundercloud in the sky, Gongsun Lan still did not change his face, released his aura with all his might, and stood in front of Mu Chen calmly, fearless.
This kind of silent confrontation made Gongsun Wanzhen uneasy, and several times he wanted to get up to dissuade Mu Chen, but he was caught by the old lady on the side.
Gongsun Lan prayed ten thousand times in her heart, Gongsun Wanzhen must not open her mouth to beg Mu Chen or say good things for her, otherwise, it will definitely arouse the deepest disgust in Mu Chen's heart. Finally, the atmosphere in the room dissipated, and the coldness in Mu Chen's eyes gradually decreased, first a trace of doubt appeared, and then burst out of strong interest, and then, mixed with a bit of solemnity.
Mu Chen's hand raised slightly, and said, "What a sharp-toothed girl, excuse me!" ”
Gongsun Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up and said, "Thank you Rongguo Gong." ”
"If I have the opportunity one day, I would be very interested in paying a visit to the Venerable Master."
"If you have the chance, you should do it." Gongsun Lan slandered in her heart, she also wanted to meet her master, but when she came back from rebirth, would she say goodbye to her master forever?
Hearing that the two of them were finally able to talk normally, the old lady Gongsun also secretly sighed in her heart, if Mu Chen couldn't accept Gongsun Lan's existence, it would not be an ordinary trouble.
Yasukuni's current power, in addition to the king's sibling brother King Su, followed by Gongsun and the Mu family's equal strength, it is difficult to distinguish between them. The two clans have been friends for a hundred years, and they have supported each other to reach the situation where even the royal family cannot easily shake it, which is not unusual. At the beginning, because of the incident between Gongsun Wanzhen and Song Zhan, the two clans almost broke up, but later they were barely repaired, and Gongsun inevitably fell into the Rongguo Mansion.
Now that Gongsun Lan is a variable, the old lady can't say whether it is good or bad, and she is really worried that Mu Chen will turn her face because of this. Compared with those old things in the Mu family, she felt that her son-in-law was more terrifying and difficult to deal with.
Mu Chen's purpose of coming today seems to have been achieved, and after seeing Gongsun Lan, he got up and said to the old lady: "My uncle is not in the house, and my son-in-law has important things to do and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so let Wanzhen accompany the old lady to talk." ”
The old lady nodded with a smile and ordered someone to send Mu Chen away. Before leaving, Mu Chen glanced at Gongsun Lan meaningfully, and Gongsun Lan lowered his eyes slightly and bowed his knees.
As soon as Mu Chen went out, Gongsun Wanzhen immediately walked up to Gongsun Lan, pulled her over and asked, "Lan'er, are you ...... You okay? ”
"Mother don't worry, Lan'er is fine." Fortunately, this level is over, if the Mu family has always had a tough attitude, because she is in trouble with the Gongsun clan, it will take a lot of trouble.
Gongsun Wan wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief, pulled Gongsun Lan to her side and sat down, and said: "Lan'er, although you have the ability that ordinary women don't have, but you are still a woman, and in the end you still have to teach your husband and children at home, let others do what you should let go, otherwise, your mother will always worry about your safety......"
Gongsun Lan smiled faintly and said: "If Lan'er really does what an ordinary woman should do, not only will she not be able to enter the gate of Gongsun's house, but she will not be recognized by Rongguo Gong, and she may not even be able to set foot on the land of Yasukuni, and her soul will disappear in Da'an." ”
Gongsun Wanzhen's face turned pale, and she looked at Gongsun Lan in a daze, her lips fluttered a few times and she didn't know what to say.
"Okay, Wanzhen, if you don't understand some things, don't act recklessly, lest you do bad things with good intentions." The old lady knew that what Gongsun Lan said was not a complaint, but she just wanted to put the most tangible thing in front of Gongsun Wanzhen and persuade her in one fell swoop. So he followed Gongsun Lan's meaning and said: "Now that the Gongsun clan has ridden on the back of a tiger, either tame the tiger or kill the tiger, otherwise, they will not be able to survive in peace." ”
"Mother...... How did you suddenly get to this point? Gongsun Wanzhen only felt that her heart was beating suddenly, she looked at her long-lost daughter and couldn't help but think, is all this because of Gongsun Lan's appearance?
Gongsun Lan understood Gongsun Wan's real doubts, and said: "When Lan'er first entered the family, the fourth sister told me that the princes and marquis who were canonized at the time of the founding of Yasukuni are still prominent, in addition to the Gongsun family, there are also Su Wangfu, Rongguo Mansion Mu Clan, Yiyang Marquis Mansion Nangong Clan, Huayi Marquis Mansion Cui Clan, and Princess Miao Zhen Mansion. ”
The old lady nodded on the side and said: "The Gongsun family is a hundred-year-old family, serving the court for generations, with a deep foundation, and the grandsons and grandchildren are all over the court, regardless of their functions, they all have a place, but they are the only family that has not been canonized by the king......"
Gongsun Wanzhen frowned and said, "Wanzhen didn't think about the reason. ”
The old lady explained helplessly: "Your eldest brother, as the head of the cabinet, although he has no decision-making power, but with the intricate infiltration of Gongsun in the court, this "no decision-making power" has quietly changed its nature, and even the king will not easily give your eldest brother a look, such a grandson cannot go further, and further is usurpation." But they can't take a step back, and once they retreat, they will be seized by other forces and step on it to the end. Today's grandson is equivalent to being roasted on the fire......"
"In this way, all this happened not because I thought Lan'er appeared, but because the contradictions had accumulated for many years, and finally it was time to break out......"
Gongsun Lan said: "Over the years, the monarch has often given honors to other families to show his favor, just to balance the situation. Yiyang Hou Nangong family and Huayi Hou Cui family are all like this, but the king didn't expect that the Nangong family turned out to be the dark lord in the past...... He also personally promoted him to his current position. ”
Gongsun Wanzhen looked at the old lady hesitantly and asked, "So...... What Fang Cai's mother said meant was either to tame the tiger or kill it...... It's ......"
The old lady looked solemn and said, "The arrow is already on the string, so I have to send it." The conflict between the third princess and the five girls on Black Rock Island is the lead, and the identity of the dark lord of the Nangong clan has also been exposed. Next, whether it is a strong wind or a thunderbolt, we must not be careless, we must unite Nangong and the Mu family to fight the enemy carefully. Otherwise, it is doom......"
Gongsun Wanzhen muttered: "It seems that Mu Chen has also understood in his heart, and he personally sent me back today, and he also wanted to see Lan'er with his own eyes......"
What Mu Chen is looking at, everyone knows it at this time. Her grandson Lan has become the link of the alliance between Gongsun, Nangong, and the Mu family at this time.
Gongsun Lan said: "In my opinion, the king may not be able to see the ambition of the third princess, he regards this ambitious princess as a knife in his hand. ”
"But the third princess is not stupid, so she is not afraid that she will work hard and finally make a wedding dress for others?"
"Because the third princess knows that if she doesn't weaken the power of the world, even if she gains imperial power, she won't be able to sit in that position. There were some things she had to do. ”
Gongsun Wan was really thoughtful and asked, "The strength of the third princess seems to be about the same as ours?" ”
Gongsun Lan nodded silently and said thoughtfully: "At the beginning, the third princess seemed to want to use Yan Hong to control the Qinghe Cui clan, but Yan Hong was unexpectedly defeated in Da'an, so she had to directly form an alliance with the Qinghe Cui clan, and also threw Yan Hong to the Cui family to be her own eyes. And the king, although there will be some precautions against the third princess, but at the critical moment, the third princess will definitely be given the necessary support. In addition, King Su's position is unclear, but he is a royal family himself, and we have to guard against it. ”
The old lady muttered: "King Su insists on marrying with our clan, I don't know what his plans are...... Or is King Su's mind actually the same as the third princess? ”
Gongsun Lan shook his head to say that he didn't know, and said: "If it weren't for the insistence of the prince of King Su, the fourth sister would have been the princess of King Su's mansion by now." After several twists and turns, Su Wangfu still insists on choosing a daughter-in-law in our house, which is really suspicious. ”
"You're right, in the past, it was only Beishan Heng who was thinking about the three girls, at most it made people think that the child was ignorant, and Princess Su doted on her to delay this family affair so far. But now that Princess Su has clearly vetoed the three girls, and she has to play a drama of Li Daitao's stiffness, it really makes people have to think carefully about their purpose. ”
Gongsun Wanzhen couldn't help but be shocked when she heard the twists and turns. These two people, one of whom is her mother and the other is her daughter, can actually peel back the cocoon, and it is unusual to see from such a small matter. "So, do you want to continue this family affair?"
It was about the lives of the two young ladies in the house, and Gongsun Lan did not make a statement. First, the changes in the family affairs of these two are somewhat inexplicably related to her, so it is better to avoid them. Second, she believes that although the positions of each family will be affected by in-laws, they cannot be changed absolutely.
The old lady pondered for a long time, and didn't seem to think about it, so she said, "This matter is still to be discussed......
