Chapter 108: The Old Husband and the Old Wife (Part II)
Ban asked coldly: "Why don't you think about the origin of the kid surnamed Shen, Zhuo Qingsu married a granddaughter under his knees, which is enough for him to be flattered!" Why did Zhuo Qingsu marry Zhaojie to him?! Or after seeing the portrait of Zhaojie? Don't tell me that Zhuo Qingsu doesn't know Langzi's dislike for the Shen family! β
You Ruoheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's not that Shen Xiaolangjun looks good......
"Whew! What is he?! No family background, no wealth, a little white face - what is it worth? Ban sneered and said, "What's more, those cousins and cousins in Zhaojie must have been born badly?" Even if they were all poorly born, with the identity of the 'daughter' of the Hou Mansion, he was willing to marry the kid surnamed Shen, and he took advantage of it! If Zhuo Qingsu just thinks that kid is good, and wants to pull him through marriage, I heard that there are still six mothers and eight mothers in the Zhuo family's generation - those two little ladies are not worthy of this kid?! Those two little ladies have been raised in the Hou Mansion, aren't they more familiar with this kid surnamed Shen? Why did you raise Zhaojie in our house for more than ten years? Why is it that the 'daughter' of the Zhuo family's four rooms who is obviously at odds with the Shen family? β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Seeing You Ruoheng frowning and thinking about it, Ban Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You don't have to think about it with your elm pimple head, let me tell you!" Speaking of which, Zhuo Qingsu still uses Zhaojie to compensate for his sins! Zhaojie was born like the Liang family - you also know Zhuo Fangchun and Zhuo Fangli, as well as Zhuo Fanghua, the eldest lady of the Zhuo family, who married Shen and entered the 'door' for less than 100 days because of Liang's qi disease, and Zhuo Qingsu has always had a grudge against Zhuo Qingsu, and Zhuo Da Niang has not returned to her parents' house for many years! Because of this, the big house and the fourth room of the Zhuo family are not harmonious with the Shen family's mother and son! β
It can be seen that Zhuo Fangchun and the three of them have the importance of the Liang family's status in their minds! Think about it, Zhaojie was born so much like the Liang family, and she is the 'daughter' of the fourth room, when she goes back like this, can her uncle, aunt and her father not particularly spoil her? Ban said coldly, "So if she marries the kid surnamed Shen, Zhuo Fangchun, Zhuo Fanghua, and Zhuo Fangli may change their views or attitudes towards the Shen family because of her - so that the conflict between the stepfamily and the sister-in-law 'daughter' can have a chance to ease, hey!" Zhuo Qingsu, this old thing, thinks well! But did he think about Zhaojie? β
You Ruoheng's face was 'pale' and 'yin', and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "This is just your speculation, instigating Zhaojie to complain about his grandfather's loss of 'woman' virtue before they met......
Ban scolded him in his heart for being stunned by reading, and said coldly: "Guess?!" Then tell me, Zhaojie has been raised in our family for more than ten years, did Zhuo Qingsu only know that he had such a granddaughter? Why did he not mention this granddaughter before seeing the portrait that Zhaocui gave to Langzi and Ji Niang, and after seeing the portrait, he asked for the right to dispose of Zhaojie's marriage? ! β
You Ruoheng was speechless.
After a while, he muttered: "But this kind of thing shouldn't be you after all, we are outsiders in the end, and it's too unruly to do this!" β
"Rules?!" Ban suddenly burst into tears and cried, "Why didn't you say that the Ren family had any rules when Zi Niang went last year?!" How old was Zi Niang when she went? We're still two old things! She went first! Shen Lang is still scared - although Zi Niang is not good at playing a small body, how can I say that I also gave birth to Shen Lang after leaving the pavilion! If it weren't for the serious crime of the Ren family who killed a thousand knives, why would she, a widow, come all the way back to join us?! Over the years, she has 'spent' so much money for her, and she has not been hanged to us! β
The sudden cry made You Ruoheng stunned.
"At the beginning, I didn't agree with Zi Niang marrying into the Ren family - people die and the debt is gone, and things have come to this point, so I won't say more!" Ban wiped his tears and said with a sneer, "But you don't want me to look at Ji Niang and Zhaojie Buzi Niang's footsteps!" It's hard to believe that our 'daughters' abide by your so-called 'women' rules and regulations, and they deserve to be trampled to death one by one?! If so, I'd rather they weren't rude! β
She said sharply, "You said that I was an outsider and instigated Zhaojie to prevent her grandfather from being unruly, then I would like to ask you!" Who are we in Zhaojie? She was conceived and born in October by Ji Niang, entrusted to us to help raise her, and she is also our bloodline! The Ren family is just a Taishou, and they still bullied Ziniang like that, let alone the Hou Mansion?! β
You Ruoheng said sneeringly: "But what are we ...... foreign surnames?"
"Then who do you want to remind Zhaojie to prevent her grandfather from taking her for his sins?!" Ban Shi aggressively 'forced' people and asked, "Let Ji Niang open this mouth?" Let Zhao Quality, Zhao Qiong or Zhao Cui?! Or let Zhuo Fangli tell the 'daughter' to guard against his father?! Once it is spread out, let others know that the fourth room of the Marquis Minping Mansion is so unfilial, and the son 'daughter' instigates the granddaughter to complain about the grandfather? ! Or let Zhaojie not know anything, just be fooled to marry the past, and fall into the hands of the Shen family for the rest of her life, let her rub and pinch the circle and walk the road of Zi Niang? She smiled miserably and said, "After all, I am my grandmother, and I am the same generation as Zhuo Qingsu, even if Zhaojie leaks out of my mouth or is known by others for some reason in the future...... How can it be better than the reputation of the elders in vain by the younger generations, right? β
You Ruoheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "But Zhuo Qingsu's husband who is favored by Zhaojie is obviously that Shen Xiaolangjun...... Why do you say that the third son of the crown prince? That man ......"
"Hey! In addition to his background, the kid surnamed Shen can't even find out anything bad about the people we specially sent to Longyou, he now lives in the Hou Mansion, Zhuo Qingsu has this intention, and the Shen family has contributed to it, how can he not let him meet Zhaojie often? At this age, she seems to be a talented 'woman', and her grandfather and grandmother are happy to see it, although Zhaojie and Ning Shizi have been writing letters, but can she often see Ning Shizi? How do I know if Zhaojie will be deceived in a daze, and when the time comes, she will make a fuss about marrying this surnamed Shen, and Zhuo Qingsu will speak to the Shen family, can Lang Zi and Ji Niang stop it? Ban asked coldly.
"So you deliberately said that Shen Xiaolangjun was the third son of the disgraced prince?" You Ruoheng muttered, "Slandering Zhuo Qingsu like this, so that Zhaojie hated her grandfather first, and after arriving in Chang'an, if she heard that Tang Wu was a person, she would only hate Zhuo Qingsu even more...... Even if he knew afterwards that the person Zhuo Qingsu intended to marry her was Shen Xiaolangjun, out of disgust and distrust of Zhuo Qingsu, he refused? Zhaojie was raised by you, and she is also an elder, so she naturally believes your words, and Zhuo Qingsu is not a person who is willing to explain carefully to the juniors......
"You don't love Ji Niang, I can't bear to be the last 'girl'! If this matter comes out in the future, and I will be infamy, then you can give me a letter of resignation - what else can I be afraid of at this age? It's just that you can't let go of the children! Ban Shi pinched his handkerchief, old tears, and interrupted him in a sad voice, "All in all, I am willing to do anything for them, you have to abide by your broken rules and make your own people suffer, unless I die!" β
She said with tears in her eyes, "If Zi Niang hadn't married far away, just looking at her miserable appearance when she came back, she wouldn't have even been able to bring the dowry...... I've already taken someone to Ren's house to work hard! I've already suffered such a loss, Zi Niang passed away and can't be buried with Langzi for a whole year, Shen Lang in order to follow her advice to help the soul return to his hometown, now he is studying hard day and night, poor child, he has worked hard enough, and now he is simply studying with his life...... Now I am such a 'girl', although Chang'an is far away, I will never allow her and her children to be reduced to pawns and not be treated as others! β
Ban's family has been running a family for many years and has always been strong, You Ruoheng's memory of her crying and sadness is only a handful of times, even on the night You Zi died, Ban was just crying outside, telling Wei to take care of Ren Shenzhi...... Now that she is so sad, You Ruoheng can no longer be indifferent.
ββThinking of listening to the sound of firecrackers in the New Year but not being able to survive the one-year-old concubine' after all, thinking of the eyes full of affection and grief that You Zi still looked at his grandson after his death, and thinking of the indifference of the Ren family, the eldest 'daughter' You Ji is also cautious in the Hou Mansion now...... The in-laws did not miss any opportunity to drag themselves into the water...... You Ruoheng felt a pain in his heart, and he couldn't question anymore, so he reached out to hold Ban's hand, and said in a low voice: "It's me who is incompetent, and I want you to '' everywhere...... I still make you angry, I can't live with you! β
Ban maintained a sad and sad look, slowly wiping the corners of his eyes, but in his heart he couldn't cry or laugh: "This old man is still so coaxing at this age, alas...... Jin Zhang said that he couldn't be an official back then, which is really right......"
She squinted slightly, thinking: Ji Niang, my son, I even took out the matter of your sister-in-law, your father has no problem here, but Chang'an has to rely on yourself...... Zhuo Qingsu, this old thief! Zhaojie was raised by me personally, and I want to use her as a chess piece to give the surname Shen to practice, when our mother and daughter are dead! It's also ...... to come and not be rude I'd like to see how clever you are, old thing, to coax the preconceived Zhaojie to listen to you?
The old couple here hugged their heads and cried and then reconciled, and Zhuo Zhaojie, who returned to Binwei Courtyard, gradually calmed down, clenched his fists, and the cold light flashed in his eyes: Grandfather-grandmother is right, since you don't treat me as a granddaughter, why should I expect from you? You want me to marry a man for you...... Dream on!
ββAs a younger generation cultivated by Mrs. Ban who accompanied You Ruoheng to study in the cold window, experienced the eunuch Chang'an and returned to his hometown with honor, and how many years of ups and downs, Zhuo Zhaojie learned from his grandmother more than just dignified and elegant!
Ban's pampering for more than ten years, tolerating her all kinds of little tempers, and indulging her from time to time to coquettish 'sex', the little lady raised in this way, although she is still a qualified lady, is definitely not willing to give everything to the filial granddaughter who can generously throw her head and dedicate everything for the elders who have never gotten along!
In Youjia, everyone has always revolved around me, and when I return to the Hou Mansion, I don't expect everyone to continue to revolve around me, but if I want to revolve around others...... Hey! Zhuo Zhaojie calmly thought about the predicament he might encounter, but he pinched off a purple hao in his hand.
