The noon Nian Ci Hall is quiet and harmonious, and the bright 'spring' glow shines on the dark green and light blue 'flower' trees outside the hall, full of vitality.

You took a nap, listened to He's report on a few family matters, discussed the gifts to be given on the prince's birthday soon, asked a few words about Zhuo Wuwu and Zhuo Wuji, and was talking to He's about his grandchildren's studies, when the 'girl' outside raised his voice and said, "Qi Niang is here?" ”

"My sister is here." When Hest heard this, he smiled and said, "I'll go and greet you." ”

"You're her sister-in-law, so you don't have to spoil her." You was very satisfied with the eldest daughter-in-law's attitude of respecting and courteous to her sister-in-law, but she stopped her and said, "Just wait for her to come in together, the young and the old are orderly, how can there be a reason to ask the sister-in-law to greet the sister-in-law at the 'door'." ”

Heshi said: "Mother doesn't know, where am I to welcome people?" I'm here to see my sister and relieve my 'spring' lack! Nowadays, it's best to be sleepy, and looking at my sister's good appearance of Yan Dan's green temples, I can feel the most comfortable. ”

There is no one who doesn't like to listen to others praise her son as a 'daughter', and You Shizi is no exception, hearing this, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are stretched, and he said: "You can't always praise her like this, be careful that this child is arrogant." ”

Between the words, Zhuo Zhaojie has been led in by the envoy 'woman', she wears a Yan Rui brocade narrow sleeve upper shirt, covered with a silk 'color' on the deer silk half arm, and a thick ribbon with gold grape pattern around her waist, hooked up with 'jade', wearing a double heng, falling with a bean green palace silk, wearing a rose red and silver clay lotus silk skirt, wearing clogs, combing double snails, and tying colorful silk silk in a bun, the silk is long and waist-length, and the 'spring' wind blows in from the window, blowing the colorful silk into a burst of dance, which is very good-looking.

You Shi looked at the little 'girl' with a smile, and he felt very proud in his heart, stopped her from saluting, and let her sit opposite He's, and said: "You came just in time, your fifth sister sent someone to send a pair of red crow hairpins, saying that the jewelry shop below Juyang Bofu bought them from Quanzhou, your fifth sister looked good, so she kept a pair of purple crows, and she felt that she was a little older now, and she couldn't hold it down, so she sent it to you." ”

During the conversation, the organic messenger 'woman' went into the brocade box and came up, and saw that the sandalwood box was padded with Dai 'color' brocade, and there was a pair of red gold hairpins inside, the style was simple, and the hairpin head was embedded with a full round red crow suddenly, crystal clear, Ambilight, by a little 'spring' outside the window, it was really brilliant and dazzling.

Hest couldn't help but slightly block the brilliance with his hand, nodded and said: "Such a 'glamorous' face and 'color' are indeed not something that everyone can suppress, for example, I don't dare to wear it on my head at all, otherwise people will only look at the hairpin and not at people." ”

"This red and green 'glamorous' and 'colorful', just their little ladies of their age, as long as their skin is fairer, how to dress there is always a little childish beauty of youth, and they can't be ugly, and in this 'spring' season, it is a little red in the green bushes, so good-looking." You picked up one, called Zhuo Zhaojie to approach, compared it on her sideburns, and said with a smile, "This is the benefit of being young in the 'spring', at my age, I have to pay attention to everything I dress, if I am not careful, it will become a vulgar 'glamorous', is it not a joke?" ”

"Mother doesn't look much older than me now." Hest smiled and said, "If my mother is going to guard against vulgar 'glamorous' now, then I am even worse than the village 'woman'...... When I went back to my parents' house in the first month, the elders in the family told me that I should follow my mother and learn from my mother's bearing! ”

You Shi smiled and said: "Ah, my face is about to burn when I hear this, you kid, you are not afraid of people laughing at it, your mother is a good person!" You're not bad either! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie lowered his head and let You compare it, took the hairpin and looked at it, and then said: "Mother and sister-in-law are good, according to me, this hairpin mother and sister-in-law can be suppressed, and it doesn't necessarily have to be worn by me." ”

"This is what Wu Niang wants to give you." Heshi said with a smile, "I'm embarrassed that my sister-in-law didn't have such a good hairpin for you, do you want to take you again?" ”

You also said: "Your sister specially left it for you, you can take it, this crow hairpin is 'very' chic, although our family also has it, but it is rare to see such a big one, Aunt Mao, you remember, to add a hairpin ring in the summer, and also go to the West Market to see if there is a good crow." ”

Mao Gu nodded and wrote it down, Zhuo Zhaojie heard them say so, so she put the hairpin back in the box, and Ren Axing took it.

He's looked at Zhuo Zhaojie's calm look, but there was something to say about this hour, not to mention that Zhuo Zhaojie looked like he was not very interested in talking and laughing, and after thinking about it, he found an excuse to leave, and said: "Husband said yesterday that he wanted to eat porpoise 'meat' and didn't want to burn it, this time it's almost over, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look." ”

She could see that Zhuo Zhaojie had something to say, how could You not see it, so she said: "The chef of this dish is not as good as you, I really want you to look at it." ”

After He's left, You turned to the 'girl' and said with a smile: "Qi Niang? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie pursed his lips and said, "Mother, I have something I want to tell my mother alone." ”

Naturally, You's won't be allowed, Aunt Mao made a look, everyone retreated, Aunt Mao went out at the end, closed the 'door', You said: "Okay, you say, Aunt Mao is guarding outside!" ”

What Zhuo Zhaojie wanted to say, of course You knew very well, sure enough, after Zhuo Zhaojie heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he knelt directly in front of You, choked and said: "Mother help me, I will never marry that Tang Cheng!" ”

"Get up first!" You Shi pulled her up and said in a kind way, "Why did you talk about this in a good way?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie whimpered and said: "Mother, don't coax me, I came to say hello yesterday, I saw that my mother and Aunt Mao were crying, and my mother said that there was sand in her eyes, where is there such a coincidence?" Later, I heard that the chief manager Zhuo Ye said, I asked Ah Xing, and she said that there is nothing to do recently, that is, the birthday of the nineteenth prince next month! Before I came back, my grandmother told me that my grandfather was ...... Grandfather, he actually wanted to marry me to that Tang Cheng! That person - is it a man who can marry? Mother! If you don't help me, how can I be good? ”

You Shi hugged her into his arms and said softly: "Don't worry! Can you still watch you jump into the fire pit as a mother? ”

"But grandfather ......"

"The previous letter was 'misunderstood' by our side." You Shi saw her crying with tears streaming down her face, her eyes were full of fear, and she couldn't bear it, although she secretly said that although Ban's was to prevent Shen Dangu, and in order not to resentment Min Pinghou 'force' to force You Ruoheng, he deliberately misled the 'daughter', but this misleading candidate was too bad, don't frighten the 'girl', so I thought it would be better to take this opportunity to explain to her, and said softly, "Your grandfather didn't mean to marry you to the East Palace as a daughter-in-law!" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie forgot to shed tears for a moment, and said in surprise: "Really? ”

"It's true." You said softly, "Your grandfather's favorite candidate...... In fact, it's Shen Dangu! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie heard that it was not Tang Cheng's male and female master, so he was really relieved, and wiped his face with a handkerchief, and then said blankly: "Shen Dangu? Why? "In her opinion, Shen Dangu is just a sojourner who can't stay in his own home, and is pitifully taken in by the Zhuo family, although the Longyou observation envoy is a third-grade master, but it is lower than the marquis, if Shen Huo's sister-in-law is good at studying, maybe he can be regarded as a 'door' as if this Shen Dangu - he can marry a Zhuo family's 'daughter' is that the Zhuo family values him.

What's more, it was Min Pinghou who personally promised to marry? Promise your own granddaughter to a concubine who is excluded by the family? Or is it the Shen family - does his grandfather hate the deceased Yuan Peifa wife?!

Ah Xing had already told him before, Zhuo Zhaojie had already met Shen Dangu twice, but he was not interested in Shen Dangu, and You Shi mentioned this person with confidence at this moment: "Why else?" Your grandfather is the most loved, this Shen Dangu is known as the prodigy of Longyou, he was raised in our family, your grandfather pitied his background and loved his talent, and now he is completely treated as his own flesh and blood, but you are very much like your grandmother......"

Zhuo Zhaojie was confused and said: "I don't understand what my mother said, I am like a grandmother, what does it have to do with my grandfather's pity for Shen Dangu?" He's my step-grandmother's nephew, not my own grandmother's nephew! ”

"That's what your father speculated." You lowered his voice, "You should also know about the grievances between your uncle and your step-grandmother and the fifth room in our room, now that your grandfather is old, who the title will be passed on to has not yet been decided, of course our room does not want the five-room successor, the fifth room, nor does we want your uncle or your father to succeed, all in all, the grievances accumulated over the years, no matter which side succeeds the lord, it will definitely be difficult with the other party, but your grandfather can't give you the title to the second or third uncle, in the end they are all concubines, There is no reason to cross the three sons-in-law to establish them—but from your grandfather's point of view, I hope that we can live in harmony with your step-grandmother in the future...... Your grandfather hit you with the idea! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was surprised: "Me? ”

You narrowed his eyes and said, "Your father, uncle, and aunt have survived with your grandfather and step-grandmother, just for your own grandmother!" It was because of you that you came back, and your uncle and aunt both hurt you so much, not only because you are their niece', but also because you look like your own grandmother, and they feel close to you when they see you! So if you marry the Shen family, then for the sake of you being better, your uncle and aunt will have to give the Shen family some face, not to mention our four rooms! ”

"Grandfather, what do you mean by that?!" Zhuo Zhaojie breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but be angry at the moment, "I don't like that Shen Dangu at all!" Just to ease relations with the Shen family, you promised me to him?! I'm just a junior, my own grandmother's enmity is there, why does my grandfather think that if I marry Shen Dangu, my uncle, my father and my aunt can change their opinion of the Shen family? Besides, since we have not been in the same room with the Shen family over the years, can I have a good life after marrying the 'door'? ”

You Shi hurriedly coaxed: "Hurry up and be quiet!" After all, your grandfather, why did you blame him so much? Even if you think so in your heart, don't say it! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was angry, grabbed her sleeve and said, "Mother! I don't want my grandfather to decide my marriage! ”

"The people around your grandfather 'revealed' this tone, but your grandfather himself didn't speak." You Shi stretched out his finger and pointed at her eyebrows, and said quietly, "I have also discussed with your father, I originally thought that you would be tired when you came back from the banquet, and I would talk to you in a few days, but now that you have found it yourself, I will tell you that in this situation, it is best to find a good candidate for you first, so that your father can go to your grandfather and say, otherwise, how can he speak?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie frowned and said, "Anyway, I don't want Shen Dangu!" ”

You said: "Yes, you don't want him, we don't plan to let you marry him, and don't say 'door', this person was raised by your step-grandmother, I don't want you to fall into the hands of your step-grandmother for the rest of your life...... It's really gratifying that you can figure it out for yourself, okay, I'll ask you now, your cousin Ruan......"

"I don't want to marry Cousin Ruan either." Zhuo Zhaojie's face flushed, and he whispered, "Me and ...... And...... Ning Jiu was more familiar. ”

You squinted, and said with a kind face: "Ning Jiu? ”
