Chapter 118: Grandfather
Seeing Zhuo Zhaojie casually revealed, although he was depressed that this grandson was so ignorant, he only snorted again, brushed his sleeves and said: "You come with me!" ”
Zhuo Zhaojie's heart suddenly rose again, and obediently followed Min Pinghou to the study, Zhuo Xiang poured tea lightly, Min Pinghou took the lid and slowly scraped the edge of the bowl, slowly took a sip, and then asked: "You are close to the prince of Yongcheng Hou, but what agreement has you had?" ”
"......" Zhuo Zhaojie was silent for a moment, and secretly raised his eyes to look at Min Pinghou's expression before he said in a low voice, "...... Be. ”
Min Pinghou didn't say anything for a moment, just stared at the camellia 'flower' on the window lattice, but in the study it seemed that even the sound of breathing had stopped, and after a while, he asked in a deep voice: "Who taught you such rules?" ”
Zhuo Zhaojie bit his lip and said: "Since they have no marriage contract with each other, after meeting by chance, the two are in love...... If there is no agreement, it will ...... Isn't it okay? ”
When she said this, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at her grandfather again.
There was silence in the study for a while, and Marquis Min Ping said slowly: "Do you know the 'temperament' of the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng?" ”
Zhuo Zhaojie pursed his lips and said cautiously: "I know." ”
"The 'desire' of love is its life, the 'desire' of evil is its death, whatever you want, you don't know how to ......restrain it," Min Pinghou said lightly, "That's all, his father, Marquis Yongcheng, is our family's political enemy, at first it was just a political enemy, and now, there is no matter of the two county kings, he will not let go of the Zhuo family if he has the opportunity, and I will not let him go if I have the opportunity...... The Marquis of Yongcheng will never like you to be his daughter-in-law, no matter how filial and respectful you are to him, maybe you have heard about his Yuan distribution wife Shen back then, Shen is his Yuan distribution wife, such a heart-to-heart and lungs, but it didn't impress him...... This man's hard-hearted heart is something you can't imagine...... However, the father and son combined, they are not as good as a princess of Jiyang! ”
He glanced at the granddaughter who lowered his head, "The eldest princess of Jiyang is a golden branch 'jade' leaf, and she has shared joys and hardships with the saint, she is noble and unconventional, the eldest princess is used to living in a high place, and the people below her have always been like ants!" So she herself is difficult to please even her bloodline juniors, she is an extremely eccentric elder, she used to love the Marquis of Yongcheng, and she was so partial that the Duke of Qiguo, who was originally very fond of her only brother, regarded the Marquis of Yongcheng as an enemy! Now that she is partial to the Marquis of Yongcheng, she threw the Marquis of Yongcheng aside...... If the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng can always let himself be loved by the eldest princess, then when he still puts his heart on you, as long as you don't make a big mistake, the eldest princess will not care about anything with you, once the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng falls out of favor himself, or you fall out of favor...... You won't want to know what life you'll live, don't think about it, the eldest princess won't give you this chance! ”
Min Pinghou said indifferently, "In the eyes of the eldest princess, except for the people she cares about, all the people in the world are like mustard, and the Marquis of Yongcheng and the Marquis of Yongcheng that she favors are actually similar...... Are you sure you want to marry such a family? ”
Zhuo Zhaojie bit his lip and said in a low voice: "I believe in Jiulang." ”
"You believe him?" Min Pinghou smiled, and suddenly said without warning, "At the beginning, I didn't agree with your grandmother's marriage to your eldest aunt, she also said so, she believed Ruan Zhi, at that time, Ruan Zhi's parents died, and he lived by his uncle and aunt, Wen Zheng was not a person who treated his nephew harshly, but he himself had a lot of 'daughters' under his knees, and it was impossible to be so close to him, the Ruan family is not a big family, no power and no power, and the people who proposed to your eldest aunt went from the clan to the high 'gate' to the famous and talented people...... The reason why your grandmother and I finally agreed to her is because in addition to the family background, Ruan Zhicong has learned that his conduct and appearance are indeed worthy of belief, but now the Marquis of Yongcheng, what is there about him besides his appearance that is worthy of my trust in him? ”
Seeing that Sun 'Daughter' couldn't answer for a while, Min Pinghou smiled contemptuously, "This question, maybe it's a different way, but from your parents to your eldest aunt, and even your starling, you must have asked it several times?" Isn't it the first time you've heard it, and why can't you answer fluently until now? ”
mentioned the eldest 'daughter' who cut off contact with him in his early years, Min Pinghou's tone was calm and unwavering, as if he had never had a conflict with this 'daughter'.
What kind of answer does such a grandfather like to hear? Or is it what he is satisfied with?
Zhuo Zhaojie clenched his fists and said slowly: "According to the world, Jiulang is not as reliable as the eldest uncle back then. ”
Min Pinghou said hesitantly: "What else? ”
"But I like him!" Zhuo Zhaojie raised her head, she didn't know whether she was ashamed or anxious or afraid, she was red, her bright eyes were full of determination, her voice was not high, but she was stubborn, "I just like him, he also likes me, I just want to marry someone who is happy with me!" ”
Min Pinghou was not moved by the sudden courage of his grandson's daughter, his expression was flat, and even with a hint of ridicule, he said quietly: "Xiangyue? How long can it last? ”
Zhuo Zhaojie pursed his lips and said boldly: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty tasted the golden house and hidden Jiao, but in the end, Chen Ajiao died in the Chang'men' Palace. ”
Seeing that Marquis Min Ping was noncommittal, she could only continue, "At the beginning, Emperor Wu may not have loved Chen Ajiao, but he ...... She has never had a child, so when Wei Zifu came out of the palace and met Emperor Wu crying and pleading, Emperor Wu thought that 'Zi' and 'Zi' had the same sound, because of the dream of Zimu, she thought that she would bring her heirs to leave her, and then Empress Wei. ”
"It can be seen that a good marriage at the beginning may not be good in the end." Zhuo Zhaojie pondered the wording and said, "Grandfather, I ......"
- She was stunned and silent, but when she saw that Min Pinghou was still facing the blooming camellia outside the window, she suddenly closed her eyes when she heard the words "A good marriage at the beginning may not be good until the end"!
Min Pinghou, who was already old-looking, seemed to have suddenly aged a few years again.
There was a dead silence in the study, and Zhuo Xiang couldn't even breathe to the point of being extremely weak.
After a long time, Min Pinghou opened his eyes, he didn't look back at his grandson', but said lightly: "But the marriage that started badly, can it be good in the end?" ”
Zhuo Zhaojie didn't know what she had just said wrong, she said cautiously: "This...... Everyone has a life, and if it weren't for the end, who would know? If...... Well, if you know a good faith, who will choose the bad one? ”
Min Pinghou smiled bitterly, but then he hid this bitterness, and he said in a low voice: "Your own choice, if the future is not good, even your parents and elders can't blame it, but think about it." ”
The meaning of his words was as if he agreed, Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't believe her ears - she looked at her grandfather ecstatically and said, "Ancestor...... Grandfather? ”
"When I went down to the court today, the queen made someone stop me on the palace road, saying that the prince's birthday, the palace plans to set up a small banquet to celebrate, the queen intends to make a face for the princess, and will hold a banquet in the Penglai Palace where the queen lives to invite some of the 'women' and 'women' to the pilgrimage, and the queen specially told you to go." Marquis Minping said a little indifferently, "I heard from the inner 'servant' who passed the word that the eldest princess of Jiyang entered the palace this morning to talk to the queen, and she also brought the prince of Yongcheng with her. ”
He turned his head and looked at his granddaughter, who did not hide his surprise, with a complicated look in his eyes, "I thought if you didn't want to...... If you know that awakening is to offend the eldest princess, I also tried to push it, but since you have a 'door' mind...... I will not hinder you. ”
Zhuo Zhaojie bit his 'lip' and said, "Grandfather, I ......"
"Anyway, even if the decree of marriage comes down, I will ask the eldest princess to hire you in advance and postpone your exit from the cabinet for two or three years on the grounds that you are young and have not grown up with your parents since you were a child, and you have only returned to Chang'an not long ago." Min Pinghou looked at her deeply and said coldly, "This is the last two or three years, your last chance to repent, I don't have the kung fu to keep looking at you...... In the past two or three years, what to do and what to say, you have to do it in your own heart, remember, after you have set your name, it is thousands of times more difficult than now, and at that time you may not even be able to keep the identity of the 'daughter' of the Zhuo family! ”
Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned, but instead of worrying about the Ning family, she looked at Min Pinghou in amazement and suspicion, remembering what Ban said before-she couldn't help but blurt out: "Grandfather...... My grandfather wasn't trying to ...... me Why? ”
In the past few days in the other courtyard, she has gone from being ignorant and fearless at the beginning to having a headache when she thinks of this grandfather, Ban said before that the influence of Minpinghou not being a person who cherishes the younger generation has been ingrained, but now it seems that Minpinghou ...... Even if he acts harshly and rigidly, he is really an elder who really loves and indulges his juniors?
Min Pinghou said lightly and without any emotion: "These words were intended to be used by your grandmother to teach you back then." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned, and before he could figure it out, Min Pinghou said again, "At that time, your lobby sister was only born not long ago. ”
After a pause, he replied, "I'm busy, I don't have the time to say one by one, you were born most like her, it's almost the same to say to you once, listen to it if you can, if you can't listen to it, then forget it, you live your own life." ”
After saying these words, Min Pinghou floated up and was tired, he waved his hand, and said indifferently: "You go down, I want to read the official document." ”
“…… Be. "Zhuo Zhaojie saluted respectfully and exited the 'door', she happened to catch a glimpse of the camellia under the window, and then she realized that the sudden silence and fit of purpose of the Marquis of Minping - did he think of his own grandmother?
The nephew of the first emperor and the queen of the Yuan Dynasty, almost married to the Liang family who is now the mother of the world, Ban repeatedly mentioned, the appearance of Chang'an, known as "even plain clothes are also 'glamorous' pressed red bananas, and the pearl cui is still like a fairy......
Because Liang has been dead for many years, and Zhuo Zhaojie has never seen this grandmother, it is because she has not paid much attention to these words that have been mentioned sporadically.
This will suddenly remember, how could the Liang family almost marry Jinshang back then? According to her identity, she is the niece and nephew of the Empress Yuan, if it weren't for the 'chaos' of the King of Qi, the Liang family would have been a well-known generation of hairpins in this dynasty when they were the first emperor! Now before the last years of the first emperor, it has always been ignored, and although the Empress Yuan is no longer there, the Liang family's momentum is not weak...... The Liang family is also a famous beauty in Chang'an, and it stands to reason that the Liang family should marry her to a more promising prince.
For example, King Qi.
If King Qi has the support of the Zheng family, is an enemy of King Yan, and is unwilling to marry the Liang family, the Liang family actually did not marry the King of Yan?
After missing it with Jinshang, she married Marquis Minping, who was only an earl at the time, and the title had not yet reached Zhuo Jian......
Zhuo Zhaocui said that Shen almost became the wife of Minping Hou, and Min Pinghou's mother planned to hire Shen, but his father took a fancy to Liang, and finally Liang entered the 'door'.
Don't talk about the grievances and hatreds in between...... Zhuo Zhaojie gently stroked her face: Everyone says that she is a beautiful woman, and she has really never seen anyone who can suppress herself in appearance, but she has seen her and Liang, and everyone sighs that she was born like Liang.
...... year
Regardless of whether the young Min Pinghou has a childhood sweetheart for his cousin Shen, when the Liang family first passed the 'door', Chang'an's famous beauty, the chaser was like a cloud, and she was once a 'woman', such a newlywed Yan'er, raised her eyebrows - I think that my grandfather, who is now old, and the grandmother who has long been in the dark may not have a time of love and sweetness.
Min Pinghou is not handsome, but has always been quite skillful and eyesighted, which is especially evident in the 'chaos' of the King of Qi, when he was still young and young, he may not be the most popular one in Wuling at that time, but he married Chang'an How many people think about the beauty of the name 'door' Liang, the young Min Pinghou, can he not be happy in his heart, such as drinking the 'spring' wind?
The beginning of this marriage, no matter what others think, at least the Marquis of Minping at that time should be happy? In the eyes of Min Pinghou at that time, it was also an excellent start, right?
But in the end, the Liang family died early with hatred, and the only Yuan match 'daughter' turned against him, the eldest son and the fourth son Yang Feng 'Yin' violated their appearance and separated from each other, and the struggle between the Yuan match and the step-family and the step-room sister-in-law 'daughter' was endless......
Back then, there was a heart 'flower' blooming, but now I look at everything and decay......
Zhuo Zhaojie pursed his lips, involuntarily tightened the brocade silk on his arm, and wondered in confusion, did his grandfather regret more about his grandmother, or did he resent?
It stands to reason that Min Pinghou still remembers Liang's words back then, and it is impossible for him to be unsympathetic to Liang, but he was so indifferent and simple when he mentioned it, without any indifference - what did his grandfather think?
