224 nephews

The days always go by very fast, Yan pinched the post sent by Lekang, and sighed in his heart.

still remembers that Aunt Zhou Muqing was kicked out, and the little girl looked a little ignorant.

She couldn't have children anymore because she hurt her body, but she actually liked to raise a delicate girl in front of her, and Zhou Muqing kept to herself.

Falling into such an embarrassing situation today, Yan's heart is not happy.

But you can't be led by the nose by the unkind Lekang.

King Wei?

What did Queen Zhou think, didn't the Zhou family know?

The Zhou family's opportunity to take another step, which one will give up?

Yan threw the invitation to the side and said to Cuinong, who was waiting beside him: "Don't talk about Lekang's invitation to the eldest girl to worship the Weaver Girl!" ”

Invite Zhou Muqing to go to the princess's mansion to worship the Weaver Girl, not to mention that Zhou Muqing is innocent and innocent, there is an uneasy Li Xian in the princess's mansion.

What Lekang said that day made Yan very unsure that there was no calculation in this.

Therefore, if you can, don't go, don't make Zhou Muqing embarrassed, just stop her.

Cui Nong hurriedly nodded yes.

Yan asked again: "What are you busy in the front yard?" Hou Ye did not come here after the court. ”

Cui Nong replied cautiously: "Mrs. Hui, the second master of the fourth master's house in the old mansion is here, saying that he is going to participate in next year's spring boudoir, and now he will live in our house for a while." ”

Yan's face suddenly changed, and he was a little unhappy.

It is said that not long after the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the noble family should have spoken with their waists straight, but even if the Marquis of Huaiyin was a descendant, he did not have that confidence.

Because the title of Marquis of Huaiyang was awarded by the emperor of the previous dynasty.

At the beginning of the war, the old Huaiyang Marquis, who was originally a favorite of the previous dynasty, opened the city gate, let the rebellious Zhou army enter Beijing, and annihilated the court of the previous dynasty in one fell swoop, which can be regarded as a meritorious contribution to the new dynasty.

But this kind of merit is not looked down upon by the nobles who followed Gaozu to kill the world, and in the first few years of the founding of the dynasty, the Zhou family was not happy.

When the remnants of the previous dynasty fled to northern Xinjiang, they passed by the hometown of the Marquis of Huaiyang, and their residual hatred was difficult to dissipate, and they killed the relatives of the Zhou family.

Thanks to Huaiyanghou's fourth uncle, he escaped by hiding in the cellar with his son, leaving the Zhou family's seeds.

It's just that since then, the population of the Zhou family has withered, and it has not returned to the prosperity of the past.

Later, relying on the love between Empress Zhou and Emperor Jianyuan's childhood sweetheart, the Marquis of Huaiyang had a place in the new dynasty.

Immediately after the change of Gengzi, the upstart who followed the establishment of the dynasty by Gaozu was even more dissatisfied with the Marquis of Huaiyang, which caused Empress Zhou's prestige in the court to not rise.

In order to dilute the involvement with the previous dynasty, the Huaiyang Hou family tried not to contact the fourth uncle's family in the old mansion as much as possible, and sent someone to greet them during the New Year's holidays.

The fourth old lady seemed to be frightened by the original bloody disaster, and he didn't dare to contact Jingli too closely, for fear of being implicated again.

The two families are so self-deceiving that they are cold to each other, but they are all right.

This Tuesday Master is the fourth old lady's grandson Zhou Quan, who can read.

"I also came to take the exam three years ago, why didn't I come to live in our house?" Yan said: "Isn't this afraid of being implicated by us?" ”

Cui Nong didn't dare to speak, and kept her head down.

Yan was awkward for a while, and before the Marquis of Huaiyang came in to ask for clarification, he heard that the palace had summoned the Marquis of Huaiyang and Zhou Quan into the palace.

Her right eyelid jumped, and her heart was panicked, she couldn't drink, she couldn't eat, and she didn't know what evil she had committed.

In the palace, Queen Zhou and Zhou Quan had a pleasant conversation.

Queen Zhou saw that Zhou Quan was talented, handsome, and polite, and she didn't feel that she liked it more.

"How old are you? Which gentleman to worship? Can you get married? Queen Zhou picked up the questions she could think of and cared about them one by one.

Zhou Quan was a little nervous, it was the first time he was summoned by the palace, and he faintly felt that this was an opportunity.

His hands hidden in his wide sleeves clenched his fists tightly, forced himself to calm down, and said in a plain tone as much as possible: "Back to the queen's mother, Xiaomin is eighteen years old this year, and he has not yet decided to marry, and he worships Mr. Huainan Zhen's disciple." ”

"Why haven't you decided to marry at eighteen?" Empress Zhou turned her head and asked Huaiyang Hou: "Remember that Brother Min was a relative at the age of eighteen last year, right?" ”

Huaiyang Hou hurriedly said: "Exactly, fifteen will be married, eighteen will be married, this is too late." ”

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "Xiaomin made a decision when he was studying: if he doesn't start a business, he won't be a family!" ”

Queen Zhou was full of appreciation: "Sure enough, I have ambition." Don't be a small people, what kind of people are you? You're the nephew of Masashi Hongu! ”

Huaiyang Hou's smile froze on his face, and he looked at the breezy Empress Zhou with some suspicion.

Empress Zhou said slowly: "Speaking of which, we are all a family. Hongu has not seen the fourth uncle and other elders since he was born. But the bones are broken and the tendons are still connected, and the blood is here, is it not a week because of estrangement? ”

Zhou Quan felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and the day before he came to Beijing, his grandfather suddenly called himself mysteriously, saying that this time he entered Beijing, he must live in the Huaiyang Hou Mansion.

At that time, he was still surprised, didn't he have a lot of contacts with the Huaiyang Hou, why did his grandfather suddenly change his mind.

It seems that Jiang is old and spicy, and his eyes are poisonous when he sees things, and he knows that he can get Queen Zhou's blue eyes this time.

He held back the excitement in his heart, and his voice was still a little trembling: "My nephew thinks the same way, so I went to visit my cousin and aunt first when I entered Beijing this time." ”

Queen Zhou nodded: "This is the right reason, everyone thought badly before." Only when a large family unites can we ensure the longevity of our Zhou family. ”

Zhou Quan said yes again and again.

Empress Zhou asked the Marquis of Huaiyang again: "Why hasn't Qingqing come to the palace these days?" What are you busy with at home? ”

Huaiyang Hou Qiang smiled: "What else can I do, embroider and read books." ”

Empress Zhou looked at the other party's expression carefully, and felt a little proud in her heart: "I heard that your restless aunt came back with her daughter after chanting the scriptures in the temple?" ”

I heard a little talk from the lady of the previous family, the little girl was restless, yelling in the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, and was directly cried by Lin Yan.

Although the other party didn't say why Zhou Muran and Lin Yan got along, it was always the face of the Zhou family that could be lost.

Queen Zhou said: "In two days, there will be a begging festival, let Qingqing enter the palace to worship the Weaver Girl." …… The aunt's girl also came in to let the palace take a look. ”

What kind of uneasiness is there, she has to take a look, and then knock and knock, don't offend Lin Yan's god without knowing in the palace and cause unnecessary trouble.

Huaiyang Hou hurriedly agreed, thinking that letting Zhou Muran enter the palace to increase his knowledge is better than following his aunt Xizi's tears all day long.

Why did you like what kind of crying girls in the first place!

Huaiyang Hou felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and this mood was maintained until he returned to the Hou Mansion.

When Yan asked about Zhou Quan, Huaiyang Hou realized why he was uncomfortable.

He frowned and asked Yan: "Are you crying and crying in the palace again, saying that Brother Min is Niangniang's only nephew?" ”

Yan was stunned: "Isn't it?" ”

Huaiyang Hou "snorted": "The three grandsons of the fourth uncle's family are not also the nephews of Niangniang!" Don't say it again! ”

Yan sneered: "What kind of nephew is that?" Zhou Da spends a lot of wine, Zhou Laosan is still a half-sized child, and he can still read a few books this Tuesday, but he has repeatedly failed the exam! ”

Can you compare with her Min brother?

When he was in charge of the Miscellaneous Bureau in Yunlong Mountain, he managed it very well.
