Chapter 383: Clan Elders' Deliberations

(Some cards, if straightened out, another chapter at night, if it doesn't go well, you have to wait for tomorrow morning to get up early, I hope there is inspiration in the dream, group hug, thank you for your support!) )

There was one who was in a hurry, so he shouted loudly, "Brother, don't thank you, you hurry up and talk about the matter of Grand Prince Zhao in Lingfeng City, everyone is worried about it." ”

The passer-by seemed to be a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he said, "I can't tell if the friend I know is the same person as the eldest son of Zhao you said?" ”

The person at the table next to him hurriedly said, "Whether it's or not, brother, you can tell me, everyone is not from the government, but it's a lively picture." ”

"That's it, that's it." The crowd hurriedly chimed in.

The man seemed to feel that it was not necessarily the same person, and he had no scruples in his heart, so he began to talk about it, from how Zhao Fengnian was sick, how to marry his daughter-in-law Chongxi, all the way to how to teach, open a small workshop, and finally sighed and said, "Mr. Zhao is really righteous, that is, he married a wife in a hurry, then Mrs. Zhao is a maid, she is mean, and she really doesn't deserve to be a husband, but she is married, and the child is born, so she must be about to settle." ”

After he said these words, he seemed to inadvertently look at the leak in the corner, and immediately exclaimed, "Oh, I just talked and forgot to make an appointment to talk about the deal, everyone is sorry, and I will leave first." ”

As he spoke, he left a group of tea drinkers who had been startled and opened their mouths wide, and hurried out of the house.

When everyone came back to their senses and wanted to pull him to ask carefully, they couldn't catch a shadow, so they immediately made another commotion and started talking.

This one said, "Oh, thanks to such a shameless entanglement of Miss Wu, the eldest son of Zhao has already married, which is a big joke." ”

The one said, "That's not right, Zhao Dagongzi can't be considered a marry, a happy maid, at a high level, it is the status of a concubine, and the Zhao family can really take her as the housewife." The maid is a slave, let a slave and maid take care of the inner courtyard, and the Zhao family will be shameless. ”

"That's not for sure, the children are all born."

"What can I do if I give birth, Miss Wu can also give birth, if I am the generation of the Zhao family, how can I let the concubine of the scholarly family not marry, but raise a maid."

"That's it, that's it." Most of the people obviously agreed with the last man's words, and they all nodded in agreement. There is someone who has some friendship with the Zhao family, so he sat down for a while, settled the tea money, and hurried to report the news and find out.

At the mouth of the alley not far from the teahouse, the previous passer-by saw this, smiled smugly, turned around and ran away quickly.

The same thing was happening in almost every teahouse, and when one of them talked about the excitement, there was a mistake, a little girl went crazy for some reason, and smashed most of the teahouse, or her companion paid twenty taels of silver to settle down. However, this did not affect everyone's interest at all, and before lunch arrived, the entire Tongcheng people heard about it again, so they ate three points full of food on the dinner table.

Of course, only the Zhao family couldn't eat the fragrance, but after a few bites, they all rushed to the old mansion.

Mrs. Zhao, after Amber's acupuncture and medicinal decoction treatment, but after seven or eight days of hard work, the condition has been obviously improved, although he still can't speak or move, but his neck is moving freely, his left hand has also recovered most of the sensation, and his face is much ruddy.

On this day, Orchid personally stewed fresh ginseng and old pigeon soup that nourishes qi and blood and strengthens muscles and bones, and is serving a small bowl of it, carefully waiting for the old lady to drink. Feng Tiao stood aside, briefly reporting the arrangements of each shop, as well as some trivial rumors in the city, which was regarded as relieving the old man's boredom.

The old lady thought that Amber had said in the morning that he would be able to speak in a few days, and he couldn't help but be in a good mood, and drank half a bowl of soup, and the table had just been cleaned up, and before he could go back to the room to rest, he heard the maid come to hug him, and a group of elders came to the door.

Feng Tuo and Orchid were both surprised, and quickly helped the old man to sit in the main seat, Orchid personally went to Zhang Luo tea and snacks, and Feng Tiao went to the courtyard gate and picked up a few old men to come in.

The old men were all frowning, looking extremely bad, just drank a few sips of tea, and simply inquired about the condition of the old man Zhao, and then called the wind to step forward, and the second master asked, "Wind manager, you were originally the cronies and helpers of the head of the family, and the main stream of the family is outside, and you and Yushun are even more followed, and you must know a lot about the affairs of the head of the family." A few of us old men want to ask you about it today, and I hope you will know everything and say everything. ”

In the half-drooping eyes, his eyes turned around twice, and he felt faintly bad in his heart, but he still saluted respectfully, "If the old man has something to say, please ask, the little one must know what to say." ”

The third old man listened to his mellow answer, leaving a lot of leeway, so he raised his eyebrows and scolded with a smile, "This slippery boy." ”

The fourth old man was still expressionless, waiting for the second master to speak, but Master Wu couldn't bear it, regardless of the rules, he said, "Wind manager, let me ask you, has your young master been out for a year, have you married?" Married to a woman from a maid's background? ”

Feng Tiao's hands hanging down on his side suddenly tightened, he was really afraid of something, and he knew best what his young master was thinking. This trip back to Tongcheng is just to treat the old lady and punish Mrs. Zhao's mother and son, and when the family property is taken care of and the old man's body is better, he will return to Lingfeng City. Therefore, these days, the young master has been extremely low-key, taking Young Master Zhao Yang with him every day, almost teaching him to take care of his business and prepare for leaving.

Regarding the matter of the young lady and the little young master, the young master has never mentioned a word, and it is Bao'er in the young master's heart, for fear of being involved in any rumors and being tainted by other people's saliva.

He and Yushun were tight-lipped, except for a few friends of life and death between the old lady and the young master, that day Orchid occasionally heard a few words, and no one should know about it, who leaked the news?

He thought about it in his heart, and his eyes swept over the orchid beside the old lady, and the orchid guessed what he thought, and immediately turned pale, wanting to shake his head and deny it, but he was afraid that several old men would ask, so he could only lower his head.

The second old man looked at the two of them in his eyes, and he knew it in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Wind manager, you don't have to be suspicious, this news came out of the teahouse in the city, and now everyone in Tongcheng knows it." From the old woman to the children, they all know that the eldest son of the Zhao family, the famous daughter, married a maid as his wife, and our Zhao family will serve a maid as a housewife in the future. We received the news, and then we rushed to inquire about one or two. If you know this, say a few words. ”

Master Zhao sat on the main seat, his face was not good, he was worried about this result, and he was worried about waiting until his condition improved, and when he could speak, he had to admonish his son a few words, but he didn't expect that the matter was leaked first, this is a matter of the face of the Zhao family, if a few cousins interfered, he would not be able to stop him.

Feng Tiao pondered for a long time, then knelt on his knees and said, "The young master has specially explained this matter, if the elders ask, he will explain it in person, the little one is not good to disobey the young master's orders, so I also ask a few old men to forgive their sins, wait two more days, and the young master will come back immediately." ”

His words were ambiguous, he didn't confirm it, he didn't deny it, he felt that he was thoughtful, but several old men were all old and fine, and their eyelashes were empty, how could they not hear the meaning inside, they looked at each other, and their faces were even more gray, needless to say, the head of the family was really married, and he must be very fond of it, otherwise, he wouldn't have made such efforts to protect him, wasn't he afraid that they would be embarrassed?

The third old man was in a hurry, glared and said, "The head of the family is really messing around, he is the son and grandson of the Zhao family, even if he is outcast, he can't marry a woman born as a maid." ”

"That's it, our Zhao family can't afford to lose this face, the ladies have to watch the housewife act every day, she is a maid, what good can she learn. In the future, the head of the family will take care of the family business, and the housewife will be in charge of many chores in the back house, entertain guests, and teach children and grandchildren, but not everyone can do it. "The fifth master is also strongly opposed, he is the most important of the brothers, when marrying a daughter-in-law, he would rather marry the concubine of a large family than the concubine of a small family, so when he heard that the head of the family married a maid, his eyes were red.

The second master stroked his beard, thought for a while, turned his head and asked Master Zhao, "Old master, have you heard this about this in advance?" What's the plan? ”

Master Zhao is the only son of the eldest master of the Zhao family, although he is a generation shorter than several old men, but he is about the same age as the fifth master, when he took care of the family business, he was already thirty years away when he got Zhao Fengnian, and he was almost the same age as the grandchildren of several old men's families, so among the same clan, they are the lowest in terms of generation, although they are in charge of the family business, sitting in the position of the head of the family, and treating several old men on weekdays is very respectful.

At this time, listening to the cousins' questions, the old man Zhao struggled to stand up, the orchid hurriedly stepped forward to help his shoulder, the old man took a few breaths, nodded as a salute, and then stretched out his barely able left hand, and drew a few times on the table, the orchid was illiterate, but the wind was sharp-eyed, and he said after he finished writing, "What the old man wrote is a 'wait' word." ”

"Wait?" The second old man frowned slightly, and asked, "Old master, but I want to say that I have to wait for the head of the family to come back before discussing?" ”

Old Master Zhao nodded, but the third old man said urgently, "Wait, what else is there to wait for, the whole city has spread, and if you don't come up with a countermeasure, I'm afraid that in a few days, the entire martial arts country will know this big joke." ”

The fourth old man rarely spoke, and said, "The head of the family must have his thoughts, so let's wait for him to come back and listen to what he has to say." ”

The fifth old man sneered and retorted, "The fourth brother has no grandchildren, and he really spoils the head of the family as his own grandson, but the fourth brother should not forget, he is the head of the family, and he is the face of the entire Zhao family, how can he act like an ordinary clansman?" ”

"You..." The fourth old man was choked by his brother and his face turned red, and he wanted to refute a few words, but he was helpless and clumsy.

The second master was afraid that they would quarrel, so he hurriedly shouted, "Okay, let's say a few words." ”

He raised his hand and held the teacup, drank a few sips, put it down, and said, "No matter what the head of the family says after he comes back, our Zhao family can't serve a maid as the housewife, and we can't say that we have to pick a family affair for the head of the house. ”
