Chapter 41: Continuing the Incense?
Hearing this, Jing Ning laughed out loud in his heart.
The facts are already obvious, this Taoist priest is obviously found by the Yang family, and the Yang family is very smart, and he did not directly point out his identity as a disaster star to make the old lady suspect her, but turned around and said that there are people in the Prime Minister's Mansion who are not honest in worshipping Buddha.
There are only three people in the Prime Minister's Mansion who worship the Buddha.
The old lady, Zheng Xiuning, herself.
It is needless to say who the dishonest man is.
What she didn't expect was that she actually fooled the old lady with the fact that the men in the prime minister's mansion were not prosperous, this time it hit the old lady's heart, after the father came back, the old lady would inevitably have all kinds of means to let the father give birth to a son.
If the Yang family really gave birth to a son, this prime minister's mansion must be the Yang family's palm, right?
Thinking of this, Jing Ning's heart was cold, but there was no dissatisfaction on his face, but he smiled and watched the old lady gratefully send the Taoist priest out of the house.
She looked surprised and delighted, "Grandmother, is what this Dao Master said true?" As long as there is a younger brother, will this kind of thing not happen again in the future? ”
Her eyes were full of anticipation.
The reaction without any flaws fell into Yang's eyes, and she couldn't help frowning.
What happened a few days ago had already made the Yang family suspicious of Jing Ning, and the Yang family couldn't help but carefully analyze it in his heart at the moment, was Jing Ning's reaction a true reflection or deliberately pretended?
"It's nature."
The Taoist priest accepted Yang's money, so he naturally wanted to read it according to the script given by Yang.
"It's a good thing, it's just me and my sister in this house, it's too lonely, it would be best if I could add a younger brother, and ......"
Yang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked at her, in disbelief.
How easily did she say yes?
Jing Ning bit her lip: "They all say that the family's property is to be left to the men in the family, if there is no younger brother, my sister and I will marry out in the future, who will the family property be given to?" ”
I have to say that this is something that the old lady also cares about in her heart.
Jingning Xiuning is always a daughter, and she will marry in the future.
If there is no male child, who will inherit the family inheritance in the future?
The old lady's mind turned, and she subconsciously slapped Jing Ning's hand: "Good boy, you can figure this out, grandmother is very happy, but your father still needs you to persuade him a lot and analyze the pros and cons with him." ”
As Zheng Anyan's mother, she knows her son's temperament very well.
Zheng Anyan's character can be described in only one word - stubbornness.
He loved his deceased wife, so he didn't renew the strings for many years, even if he welcomed the Yang family into the Prime Minister's Mansion to take care of Jing Ning, he never made a son, no matter how she threatened and persecuted, it was useless.
The only person who can talk to him is Jing Ning.
Jing Ning nodded and said with a smile: "Jing Ning listens to grandmother, it's just ...... Can grandmother choose a successor for her father? ”
As soon as this remark came out, it was earth-shattering.
The entire gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion fell silent.
Jing Ning looked at the Yang family, then at the old lady, blinked her eyes, and said innocently: "What's the matter, why don't you talk to your aunt and grandmother?" ”
“......”
"Did Jing Ning say something wrong? But if the father wants to give birth to a younger brother, doesn't he want to marry a stepmother for Jing Ning? That's how they are in the Zhenguo Mansion! Lan Yao's mother didn't give birth to her younger brother, and her younger brother was born to her after her father continued the string......"
By the end, her voice was getting lower and lower.
"Isn't that so?"
"No, you're right, it's true."
Only then did the old lady react, her eyes lit up, and she held Jing Ning's hand.
"It's just that your father misses your mother, I'm afraid he doesn't want to continue the strings, you have to enlighten him more, grandmother knows that you are young, she must choose a gentle and generous mother for you and Xiuning!"
If Jing Ning hadn't suddenly mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about it.
That's - the Prime Minister's Mansion has no master!
What she originally thought of was for the Yang family to give birth to a boy, so that their Zheng family would not be extinct, but Jing Ning reminded her of one thing-
The distinction between the dignity and inferiority of the Yan Kingdom is extremely strict, and the grandsons of the concubines, where are the grandchildren with noble status and smooth careers?
On the side, Yang's face changed slightly, staring at Jing Ning.
The hint of joy that had risen in Fang Cai's heart completely dissipated in the other party's seemingly innocent words.
Especially when Jing Ning responded to the old lady's words with a smile on her face - "Grandmother, don't worry, Jing Ning will definitely enlighten his father well." "It turned into resentment.
She thought that when the old lady was anxious about the question of men, the first thing she thought of was herself, but she didn't expect that Jing Ning's words would make the old lady change her mind.
She actually wants to renew the strings for Zheng Anyan!
If there is a master mother in this prime minister's mansion in the future, then what is he? Is everything you touch going to be like a mirror?
At this moment, Yang lost all his past calmness, and couldn't help but say: "Mother, this is not good, such a big thing as the continuation of the string, you must always ask the master what he thinks, if the master is unwilling, you have an estrangement with your mother......"
The old lady looked at her coldly and said coldly: "You don't have to worry about these things, just be your aunt honestly." ”
This is already very clear.
There will always be a housewife in this family, and even if there is none, it will definitely not be the turn of a person like the Yang family to take the position.
Although she didn't face the Yang family directly, she also knew that her heart must be full of unwillingness at this moment, Jing Ning lowered her head, and did not let people see the sneer and ridicule in her eyes.
.......
It wasn't until he returned to the room that Jing Ning took off the disguise he was outside.
She took a deep breath and sat down slowly.
The Yang family already doubted himself, even if he didn't doubt it, after what Fang Cai said outside, he must have a grudge against himself.
But even so, she has no regrets.
She will not let the Yang family give birth to a boy, in the previous life, the Yang family only had one daughter, Zheng Xiuning, and it came to such a point, if she gave birth to a son, her status would become more and more unshakable, maybe the entire Prime Minister's Mansion would be in her pocket.
That's why she just said something like that at the risk of being detected by the Yang family.
Thinking of this, her eyes sank, she slowly got up, and found a hairpin from the drawer.
The hairpin was blood-red and clear, and there was a thrilling magnificence in the sunlight.
Just as the old lady Zheng spent countless hours carving hairpins for the old lady in order to express his heart, the same is true for Zheng Anyan, this hairpin was a gift he gave to Jing Ning's biological mother, and his biological mother fell into Jing Ning's hands after her death.
She looked at the hairpin and muttered to herself: "Mother, these words are not my intention, you forgive me." ”
She will do her best to make the old lady not to force her father, nor will she influence her father's decision, but whether to continue or not, this is her father's personal thoughts and decisions, and she cannot interfere.
In short, in the current situation, no matter whether her father will continue the strings or not, she wants to make the old lady give up the idea of supporting the Yang family!
