Why did he keep saying that he would never marry a wife for the rest of his life?

Old Man Zhou really asked this question.

Zhou Huaixuan turned his head a little uncomfortably, looked at the tall paper door at the door of the chess room, and silently did not speak.

These were the words he had spoken when he had just returned from the depraved, and he had given himself up on himself.

At that time, he really felt like a monster......

Just like Bai Wan, the princess of the fallen people, said, he, like them, is cursed and cannot marry for the rest of his life......

But three years have passed, and after experiencing the baptism of the Northwest Blood River, there are still ...... With her help, Zhou Huaixuan found that he had become normal little by little.

He is no longer a monster, and he can live a normal life like an ordinary person.

If it hadn't been for this change, he wouldn't have decided to marry her.

Zhou Huaixuan took a deep breath and did not directly answer Old Man Zhou's words, but looked back at his vigorous face, and said lightly: "Tell me first, what should I do with her life experience?" ”

Sheng Siyan's life experience is indeed a hurdle.

If others didn't know, it would be fine, but now it is known to everyone by people with intentions.

Who exactly started this rumor?

Zhou Huaixuan wants to know more about the mastermind behind the scenes.

You must know that Sheng Siyan is not an important person, neither a prince nor a princess, although the Sheng Guo Mansion is one of the four major princes, everyone knows that this family has long been defeated.

And she is a woman, and there is no possibility of taking the position of the eldest to seize the family property.

After thinking about it, Zhou Huaixuan only locked two possibilities......

Putting aside the motives of the black hand after the opening, the actual effect of this incident is to beat Sheng Siyan from a well-born daughter to an orphan girl with unknown parents who is about the same as a lowly family.

If he wants to marry Sheng Siyan in a dignified manner, he must make this matter clear.

Old Man Zhou agreed, but there were other people in the Zhou family. He could ignore those people's feelings, but she couldn't.

Before she got married, he caused her a bunch of family troubles and enemies. - That's not good for her, it's bad for her......

Old Man Zhou glanced at him, stroked his beard and hummed: "Hmph, you kid, grandfather asked you something, but you didn't answer, here is my words." What a disfilial piety! As he spoke, he smiled, "It's actually very simple, isn't her parents unknown?" As long as the Sheng family can confirm that she has nothing to do with our Zhou family, everything will be negotiable. ”

It is difficult for orphans with unknown parents to marry into good families because their blood relationship is unknown.

In order to avoid the tragedy of humanity caused by ignorance, serious people will extinguish this possibility at the source, that is, not to marry or marry this kind of person.

And Old Man Zhou's words seemed to be hinting to him that the Sheng family had a way to confirm that Sheng Siyan was not related to the Zhou family?

Zhou Huaixuan squinted, a glint flashed in his long narrow eyes, and he looked at Old Man Zhou fixedly, "No, it's not enough." "It's not enough to prove that there is no blood relationship.

What Zhou Huaixuan wants is for Sheng Siyan to be able to marry into the Divine General's Mansion with her head held high, and she doesn't want everyone to think that she is Gao Pan.

Old Man Zhou lowered his head and said with a smile: "Actually, your grandfather is not a pedantic person. As you said, with the status of our god's general's house, we really don't care about the daughter-in-law's family background. Your mother's background is also average, in fact, she is far inferior to the grand girl, and I don't care, I still agree that your father married her. The daughter-in-law of the Divine General's Mansion first picks her character, and then her ability. It's not that you don't look at your family background, but it's not that important. ”

Zhou Huaixuan smiled and said slowly: "Actually, the Sheng family has never been married to our three major princes for so many years, do you know why?" ”

Old Man Zhou was a little uncomfortable, his head hung lower, he didn't dare to look at Zhou Huaixuan's eyes, and muttered, "...... Who knows? I think they're too obscure. ”

"It's not too much, I think the heads of the Sheng family are smart people." Zhou Huaixuan sighed lightly, put down the chess pieces in his hand, and made a gesture of wanting to play chess.

Old Man Zhou's mind was really attracted, and when he looked at Zhou Huaixuan's position, he hurriedly shouted: "It's not good here!" Do it all over again! Do it all over again! ”

Zhou Huaixuan took back the chess piece noncommittally and casually put it on the corner of the chessboard.

After a few games of chess, Old Man Zhou smiled, shouted "enjoyable", and let Zhou Huaixuan leave with a smile.

It wasn't until Zhou Huaixuan left that Old Man Zhou remembered that he asked Zhou Huaixuan why he used to say that he would never marry a wife for the rest of his life, and he didn't answer at all, but instead got a lot of words from him.

"This kid is too thief...... Old Man Zhou said with a smile.

His old butler came over to clean up the chessboard, and then said with a smile: "Old man, do you really plan to give the eldest son the eldest girl of the Sheng family?" But her background ...... Will these people in the family be willing? ”

Old Man Zhou got up with a smile and went to the small copper basin to wash his hands, then wiped his hands with a square towel, and said, "It's up to him." Since he wants to marry, he has to deal with those people himself. If he can't do it, he won't marry someone else and come back to be wronged. ”

Old Man Zhou sat for a while, and then returned to Songtao Garden in the main courtyard to have lunch with Mrs. Zhou's wife, Jiang.

The family pays attention to "food without words" and "sleep without words".

The same is true for the Zhou family.

The family will talk before eating.

But when you pick up the bowl, you can't talk anymore.

Mrs. Zhou finished eating with Mr. Zhou, and when the two of them held the tea, she asked him with a smile: "Master, the two most promising grandsons in our family are in their twenties now, and they haven't decided to marry yet. ”

Old Man Zhou smiled and said: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, what do they do?" In one sentence, Mrs. Zhou easily blocked all the words below.

Mrs. Zhou was stunned, and thought that the old man always liked others to talk directly, and didn't like others to go around in circles with him, so she moved in her heart, and simply said: "That's the case." The third daughter-in-law asked me, saying that her eldest brother asked her to inquire about how the second girl of their family was? I think they are all girls from the Guogong Mansion, this background can't be wrong, it's enough to match the eldest son of our family. - What do you say? ”

This is intended to tell Wu Chanjuan of the Wu Guogong Mansion to Zhou Huaixuan.

Mrs. Zhou has been married to Mr. Zhou for forty or fifty years, and the two have always been harmonious and respectful of each other.

Old Man Zhou looked at her and said with a light smile: "This couple is really interesting......

"What's interesting?" Old Madam Zhou didn't understand.

Old Man Zhou stroked his beard and smiled but didn't say it.

Of course, Zheng Suxin and Wu Changge are husband and wife.

Zheng Suxin asked Zhou Chengzong to inquire about Old Man Zhou, and Wu Changge asked his sister to follow the path of Old Lady Zhou to set his tone.

Not to mention that Zhou Huaixuan himself has already taken a fancy to Sheng Siyan, even if he didn't take a fancy to it, Old Man Zhou would not agree to Wu Chanjuan marrying into the Divine General's Mansion.

Wu Yunji, the concubine of the Wu family, married into the Shenjiang Mansion back then, and she could only marry the second son, and it was impossible to marry the eldest son.

Therefore, even if Wu Chanjuan wants to marry, she must not marry Zhou Huaixuan, the eldest grandson.

"Wu Lao doesn't know about this yet, don't mix it blindly." Old Man Zhou said lightly, vetoing the possibility of Wu Chanjuan marrying Zhou Huaixuan.

Old Madam Zhou was not angry at all, but her face showed a faint joy, and she said slowly: "I think so too." It's just that Yun Ji is a kind person, she promised her eldest brother to ask, and she had to ask before she was willing. ”

"Hmm." Old Man Zhou replied and said with a smile: "Let them go upside down by themselves." ”

The matter will not be mentioned again.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou swallowed the words that came to her mouth again.

……

When Zhou Huaixuan returned to the inner courtyard, it was already noon.

He went straight back to Tingyutang.

"Eldest son, are you back?"

Zhou Huaixuan's eldest maids, Forsythia and Agarwood, greeted them with a smile.

Zhou Huaixuan walked in expressionlessly, "I want to be quiet." With that, he went to the study of the east room.

Agarwood still wanted to follow, but Forsythia hurriedly grabbed her, "The eldest prince has said that he wants to be quiet, what are you going to do?" ”

"But...... It's not okay if there is no one around the eldest prince. I'm going to bring tea and water to the eldest prince......" Agarwood bit her lower lip and watched Zhou Huaixuan's tall figure disappear into the curtain of the east room.

The curtain of the plain blue twigs swayed slightly, blocking their view.

"You don't know the temper of the eldest prince yet?" Forsythia whispered, "Agarwood, if you do this again, you won't be able to stay here any longer......"

Agarwood woke up, rubbed the sachet on his waist with both hands, looked at Dong Jijian, and said abruptly: "Well, thank you Sister Forsythia, I'll just wait at the door." ”

"It's fine. If the eldest prince has any orders, no one will hear them. Forsythia thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and said, "Aren't your family members kissing you?" How did you look last time you went back? ”

Agarwood shook her head, "The son of the Liu family." They are Wu San's grandmother's companion room, and they are very dignified in the third room. Now Grandma Wu San's housekeeper, as you know, their family is also a well-known person in the Divine General's Mansion. ”

Of course, the Agarwood family is also a very dignified steward in the Shenjiang Mansion, and he is a good match with the Liu family.

"The son of the Liu family? Not bad. Forsythia smiled and said, "I remember being tall and very white. After thinking about it, he said, "Is it the eldest or the second?" I remember their two sons, the eldest son heard that he begged Grandma Wu San to leave his nationality to take the imperial examination. The second son was on an errand in the house. ”

"It's the second one." Agarwood was even more depressed, "The boss has already made a marriage." ”

"Oh." Forsythia looked at Agarwood's face attentively, and it didn't seem like she didn't like it, so she relaxed slightly.

She and Agarwood grew up together since childhood, and served the eldest prince together, and didn't want her to have a bad end.

The eldest prince's mind is obvious, not to mention the maids like them, even if they are the options for the room sent by the eldest grandmother and the old lady, they are all disdainful and driven out mercilessly.

"The eldest prince is not close to women, and we are quiet." Forsythia smiled slightly, trying to wake up the agarwood.

“…… Sister Forsythia, I heard that the eldest prince has someone outside? Agarwood looked around and whispered.

"Someone? Who is it? Who do you listen to? "Forsythia rarely goes out, has been listening to the rain pavilion, and doesn't know much about things outside.

Agarwood went home a few days ago to let people look at each other, and by the way, I also heard some rumors.

"I heard that it is the eldest girl of the Shengguo Mansion." Agarwood pursed her lips disdainfully, "Sure enough, it's not a serious girl in the Guogong Mansion, so you know how to hook a man......"

Forsythia was startled and was about to speak, but felt a chill hit her.

She shuddered, and looked up to see Zhou Huaixuan coming out of the study in the east room at some point, looking at them with a frosty face.

"The eldest prince ......" Forsythia and Agarwood were blessed in fear, and their hearts were pounding.

You don't need to be very smart, you don't need to know that the eldest prince is in a rage.

His complexion did not change, but his eyes were extremely dark, darker than usual. The eyes on them were like a thousand pounds of burden, weighing them down.

He raised his hand and pointed at the agarwood, "Say." ”

Agarwood choked.

Forsythia immediately understood, and pushed the agarwood, "The eldest prince asked where you heard the rumor...... Say it! Seeing that Agarwood was stunned and motionless, Forsythia pushed her again.

Agarwood was shocked, and was frightened by Zhou Huaixuan's deep sight, and hurriedly stammered: "Slave maid...... The slave and maid came home the other day and listened...... Listen to what Liu's family said. ”

"Liu Quan's family?" Zhou Huaixuan's eyes narrowed, "The Wu family's companion? ”

"Yes." Agarwood lowered her head, a little surprised. She didn't expect that the eldest prince would know who this Liu family's family was.

You must know that although she is a little decent, she is just a minion in the end.

There are not one thousand but eight hundred slaves and maids in the Divine General's Mansion, and they are intertwined with each other, and many families are related......

The eldest prince is not interested in the affairs of the house at all on weekdays, but he clearly knows that Liu's family is the companion of Grandma Wusan......

Forsythia and Agarwood glanced at each other, and their respect for Zhou Huaixuan was deeper, and they didn't dare to be cautious in the slightest.

Zhou Huaixuan walked out with his hands behind his back and stood at the bottom of the cloister outside the door for a while, squinting at the blue sky.

After a while, he said, "Call Xianbai to come." ”

Forsythia hurriedly went to the outer courtyard to spread the word.

Agarwood looked at Zhou Huaixuan nervously and wanted to say something, but Zhou Huaixuan turned around and went in without a sound.

Zhou Xianbai ran over with the forsythia, came to the study in the east room, and said to Zhou Huaixuan with a smile: "Eldest prince, what do you command?" ”

Just called him back, do you want to go to the Shengguo Mansion again?

Zhou Xianbai muttered to himself.

Zhou Huaixuan's study is very spacious and spacious, in fact, two rooms are connected to make one.

There is a tall bookshelf in the middle, dividing the whole room into two rooms, the front and the back.

Zhou Huaixuan sat behind the big bookcase behind the bookshelf at this time, clasped his hands, closed his eyes and pondered.

Hearing Zhou Xianbai's voice, Zhou Huaixuan opened his eyes to look at him and asked, "How much do you know about the rumors outside?" ”

"Rumors? What rumors? Zhou Xianbai didn't come back to his senses for a while.

"Two rumors. One is Siyan's life experience, and the other is the words that came out recently. Zhou Huaixuan plans to use a two-pronged approach to catch the people behind the rumors.

This time, I won't be ruthless, let these people know that it is powerful. Then when Siyan gets married, there will be people who will find out these things to make trouble.

Therefore, Zhou Huaixuan planned to not only squeeze out these pus before getting married, but also cut them out, to see who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to go against his god general's mansion and provoke the people he wanted to shelter......

Zhou Xianbai's mind spun quickly, "The life experience of the grand girl?" When this incident came out, the younger and eldest sons were not in the capital, so it was more difficult to investigate. But the recent rumors," Zhou Xianbai paused, "do you mean the recent rumors about you and the grand girl in the capital?" Zhou Xianbai smiled and asked tentatively.

Zhou Huaixuan nodded.

"This matter...... Zhou Xianbai scratched his head, "The eldest prince has never cared about what outsiders say. These rumors are always silent, what do you do with them? ”

If it was only related to Zhou Huaixuan, Zhou Huaixuan would naturally be too lazy to pay attention to it.

But this rumor is related to Sheng Siyan, and every word is speaking on her name, which is too vicious.

"What did you say?" Zhou Huaixuan asked lightly, "If you want to say it all to me, you don't miss a word." ”

Zhou Xianbai said with a smile: "Actually, it's really nothing, it's all chasing the wind and shadows, and it's not touching the edge at all." Both horizontally and vertically say that the grand girl is 'foxy' and will hook the tiredness of men. also said that she was from a bad background, so she only had ...... Seduce men ......"

So to put it mildly, it's all blame Sheng Siyan for not being good.

Zhou Huaixuan was silent.

He knew that he had done something out of the ordinary to Sheng Siyan for a while, but these rumors had nothing to do with him at all, he kept saying that Sheng Siyan was not, and he also said it in general, it was all speculation, and he didn't say anything specific.

This can be concluded that it has nothing to do with the Sheng family, especially the maids around Sheng Siyan.

If the rumors were spread by them, they would certainly be much more detailed and reliable than they are now......

So, who will spread these rumors? To what end?

At present, the goal to be achieved is to completely destroy Sheng Siyan.

As an unmarried woman of the Great Xia Dynasty, there are two things that are the most precious, one is family history and the other is fame.

Sheng Siyan no longer has a family background, and now he doesn't even have a reputation.

Is it the wall that everyone pushes down, and everyone can come and step on the Sheng family's feet, or is it ...... Someone has ulterior motives and deliberately targets Sheng Siyan?

Thinking of what Sheng Siyan's mother said that day when Sheng Siyan was born, Zhou Huaixuan's brows furrowed.

Zhou Xianbai saw that Zhou Huaixuan's brows were furrowed, and he was busy sharing Zhou Huaixuan's worries, "Eldest son, what do you want to do?" Find out who made the rumor? The small one should remind you that this matter is not easy to investigate. ”

Zhou Huaixuan glanced at him, "Where did this rumor come from in the first place?" Can you find out for me in three days? ”

Zhou Xianbai said bitterly: "This is also too difficult. There are so many people in the capital, and there are many mouths, even if they are arrested and tortured one by one, they may not be able to know who passed them on. ”

Zhou Huaixuan stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the snow outside the window.

The back window of the study is facing a large courtyard, there are no trees in the yard, only a wide grassy area, which is lush and very moving in spring and summer. Now it's covered with snow.

"Big boy, the little one has a little insight." Zhou Xianbai thought about it, and his eyes turned very flexibly.

"Say." Zhou Huaixuan didn't look back.

“…… The little one thinks that the first rumor, and the current rumor, should be one thing. And these two rumors are aimed at the grand girl, not the eldest son, according to the small view, this is the grand girl blocking the way of some people, so ...... To ruin her reputation. Zhou Xianbai touched his chin and paced behind Zhou Huaixuan to stand still.
