Chapter 110: Cause and Effect
Gu Zheng thought that Mrs. Tai would disapprove of her concept, and found some great truths such as "marriage has always been the words of parents and the life of matchmakers" to teach her, but she didn't expect Mrs. Tai to give a thumbs up and praise Gu Zheng when she heard it: "Ambitious!" Our 'female' family should choose their own husbands, after all, they are people who want to live with us for a lifetime, how can we rest assured that others choose people? β
This time, Gu Zheng was stunned by Mrs. Tai's bold words: "Grandmother ......"
"Is it surprising that this old grandmother can have such an idea?" Mrs. Tai said with a loving face and 'touched' Gu Zheng's head, her eyes gradually became ethereal, and she seemed to suddenly fall into a memory: "These words were said to me by my grandmother, that is, your great-great-grandmother, because your great-great-grandmother did not like blind marriage, so your grandfather was personally selected and looked at by me......
"It's a pity that he left earlier than me, otherwise this family doesn't need me to '' half distracted at the momentβββ I have always been protected by him in the palm of my hand when he is there, and I don't need to 'worry' about the big and small things in the family, it is the concubine who worries and hurts other ladies the most, and our family has no one." Mrs. Tai's eyes gradually returned to clarity as she spoke, and there was a little more gloomy look on her face, obviously missing the late Old Lady Cen very much.
Mrs. Tai's words made Gu Zheng couldn't help but be full of admiration for the late Mrs. Cenβββ he must love and love Mrs. Tai very much, otherwise he would not insist on not accepting a concubine in order not to make Mrs. Tai sad in the case of the five generations of the Cen family. This kind of love can be said to be very rare in this era, no wonder Mrs. Tai is still full of happiness and sweetness when she mentions Old Lady Cen until now.
Gu Zheng is very yearning for the love between Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Cen, with their examples in front of her, Gu Zheng has infinite expectations for the futureβββ can she also meet a man as infatuated as Mrs. Cen in this feudal era? If she did, she thought she would be very happy to stay with him for the rest of her life and grow old.
These things are still too far away for Gu Zheng now, Gu Zheng sighed and retracted his scattered thoughts, and enlightened Mrs. Tai with a playful face: "Who said that grandmother is old-fashioned?" In my heart, my grandmother was not old-fashioned at all! β
Mrs. Tai knew that Gu Zheng couldn't bear to see her sad and sad, in order not to worry Gu Zheng, she quickly put away her faint sorrow, and responded with a smile: "When you say this, I really think I'm not very old-fashioned, otherwise how can I like it so much when you see it?" β
As soon as he mentioned the four purses, Gu Zheng was embarrassed with black lines, blushing and stomping his feet: "Grandmother! You're making fun of me again! β
"Alright, alright, grandmother won't make fun of you," Mrs. Tai said as she raised her eyes to look at the hourglass on the side: "It's not too early, you can do your own thing, you don't have to stay here all the time to talk to me." β
Gu Zheng knew that Mrs. Tai was pressing the matter of the succession in her heart at the moment, and she needed to be alone and quiet, so she bent her knees very wisely and retired and didn't mention it when she returned to Tingquan Courtyard.
Sure enough, Gu Zheng had just left Rongshoutang, and Mrs. Tai instructed the maid Zisu: "Go and invite the master over immediately, just say that I have something important to discuss with him." β
After listening to Zisu's words, Master Cen didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately left the outer study and went straight to Rongshoutang, and as soon as he met Mrs. Tai, he respectfully asked: "Mother, why are you in a hurry to call me over?" β
Mrs. Tai motioned for the idle people in the room to retreat, and asked bluntly: "Your daughter-in-law has thought about the matter of the Zhou family's son coming to your knees, do you know?" β
Master Cen replied truthfully: "She has mentioned it to me a few times, but I haven't given her permission to speak, and you have to make the decision on this matter." β
As soon as Mrs. Luo learned that Master Cen would not be able to have children in the future and that the Cen family could no longer have a son, she did not mention the matter of succeeding the Luo family in front of him, but Master Cen always had some disdain in his heart to inherit the heir by someone with a foreign surname, so he never gave Mrs. Luo a clear answer, and only deduced that this matter still needs to be considered in the long run.
Seeing that Master Cen still put her mother in the first place, Mrs. Tai nodded with satisfaction, looked at Master Cen and asked, "Then let me ask you, are you willing to follow Shaozhen's wishes?" β
In fact, whether it is Luo Jinming or Zhou Chun, they don't have any blood of the Cen family, and Master Cen is not very satisfied: "If our family can have a better candidate, I don't want to succeed someone with a foreign surname, it's just ......"
"Since you also think that the people at the end of our Cen family are more suitable, then I will tell you what I just learned, and I bent ...... before" Mrs. Tai said while observing the expression on Master Cen's face, and seeing that although Master Cen frowned after hearing this, there was no displeasure on his face, and obviously thought that the person Gu Zheng said was more suitable than Zhou Chun and others.
Master Cen did not reject this matter, which made Mrs. Tai breathe a sigh of relief slightly, and tentatively proposed: "I want to ...... What do you think? β
Master Cen didn't dare to give a hasty answer, but pondered what Mrs. Tai said before, and combined with the situation facing the Cen family now, after weighing the pros and cons left and right, he replied in a solemn tone: "If it's him...... Naturally, it is most appropriate to choose him as the heirβββ at least he is stronger than the original mongrels of unknown origin, as well as those selected by Shao Zhen! β
Gu Zheng guessed correctly, Master Cen did know that he was cuckolded by Aunt Qian and Aunt Tang, and he had already found out how Aunt Qian and Aunt Tang cuckolded himβββ Aunt Tang took the opportunity to go out to the 'door' to incense and date an old acquaintance, and Aunt Qian was secretly in love with a steward.
Of course, the two bold men had all been secretly disposed of by Master Cen, but in order to save face, Master Cen did not disclose the matter. As for why Master Cen left Aunt Qian alive, it was to make her suffer from the pain of losing her son for the rest of her life!
But how did Sister Zheng suddenly lose her fertility?
It turned out that when Master Cen was in office, he injured the man's life due to an accidental accident falling from a horse, and it was at that time that the Cen family had never added Ding......
However, the domestic servants who knew that Master Cen accidentally fell from his horse, and it was possible to link Master Cen with his fall from the horse and the fact that he had never added Ding, were sold and sent away as early as when Master Cen returned to his hometown Ding Wei...... Only Aunt Li, who has been following Master Cen in office, knows about this, and it is precisely because of this that Aunt Li guessed early on that Aunt Qian's child was very likely to be obtained from 'adultery'.
Of course, although Master Cen knew that he had injured his life due to a fall from a horse, he had been looking for famous doctors with a trace of luck and hope over the yearsβββ it turned out that over the years, Master Cen was not looking for famous doctors for his friend Ping Liangbo at all, but looking for famous doctors in order to cure his own 'hair' disease.
It wasn't until some time ago that Master Cen found the famous doctor in Baiyun Temple, and the famous doctor clearly told Master Cen that the 'hair' disease on his body could not be cured in his life...... Only then did Master Cen completely die and accept this fact.
Before this, Master Cen thought that although he had a 'fault' in his body, as long as he could find a famous doctor with excellent medical skills, he would be able to be cured, and he had always deceived himself and did not make up his mind and always looked forward to a miracle. It is precisely because there has always been a trace of expectation in his heart that Master Cen will also be lucky with Cen Qilang's son, hoping that one day he can prove that Cen Qilang is his own son.
It's a pity that the truth turned out to be the opposite of Master Cen's hope!
It is precisely because Master Cen has been forced to accept the fact that he can't have children, so when he came back from Baiyunguan that day, his face was 'gloomy', and he had a pregnant Aunt Tang for no reason, and unceremoniously cleaned up Aunt Qian, Cen Qilang and Aunt Tang...... The fact that Master Cen can no longer have children is confirmed, which is the source of the accidents that day, and everything cannot escape Master Cen's arrangement and arrangement.
Let's not talk about the events of the day, but say that now Master Cen's thoughts coincide with Mrs. Tai! Since both of them were optimistic about the person Gu Zheng said, they immediately had an in-depth and confidential discussion on the matter and made a decision quickly......
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In fact, Aunt Tang's miscarriage, being poured 'medicine', and Xiao Qi's death were all arranged by the cuckolded Master Cen, and had nothing to do with Mrs. Luo and others~ Have you guessed this?
