Chapter 71: Just Beginning
Lu Rin rode a horse, parallel to Zhao Chengyuan.
His condemning little eyes glanced at Zhao Chengyuan from time to time, but Zhao Chengyuan was as motionless as a mountain, staring ahead.
After Lu Rin threw dozens of eye knives to no avail, he said very firmly, "Anyway, I won't marry Zhao Xiang'er, I will marry a fat girl."
Zhao Chengyuan glanced at him lightly, drove the horse to speed up, and quickly left the carriage behind.
Lu Rin drove to the carriage and shouted inside, "Grandmother, I want to marry a fat girl!"
"No way!"
There was a loud roar inside, and Lu Rin's horse was so frightened that it raised its hooves and neighed, almost overturning him.
After Mrs. Lu returned home, she went directly to the Jin Palace.
Zhao Chengyuan sat in the living room of the main courtyard and waited for her, with a brocade box in his hand.
Old Madam Lu sat down beside him with a smile, "You still don't want to go, don't you still go?"
Zhao Chengyuan didn't explain, and poured tea for Mrs. Lu, "Uncle drinks tea."
Old Madam Lu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I heard Ah Rin say that Ning Yatou also fell into the water, and you rescued her." Speaking of which, you should add a mistress to your palace, and it will save you from being lonely every day."
Zhao Chengyuan lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Uncle doesn't have to worry about it, she doesn't see these rules."
Old Madam Lu frowned, "Ah Yuan, tell me the truth, what do you think? I see that you treat Ning Yatou differently than others, send her back to Beijing, stand out for her, and those clothes, who can get your special orders?"
Zhao Chengyuan pushed the brocade box to Mrs. Lu's side, "Auntie is still worried about Rin's family affairs. You can put this away, and you can still use it when you go back and discuss with the Chengjun Palace."
Mrs. Lu opened the brocade box, and there were four pairs of jade bracelets inside, carefully wrapped in silk cloth.
"How did you get them back?"
She sighed heavily, "This bracelet was left to you by your mother, where can Rin's use."
Zhao Chengyuan frowned, "Left by the Queen Mother?"
"Yes! Your queen mother asked me to help her hand it over to her future daughter-in-law as a gift. I didn't think about it, but you got it back!"
Old Madam Lu was very frustrated, and her previous joy was swept away, "Providence, it seems that you and Ning Yatou really have no fate."
Zhao Chengyuan leaned back in the chair, his face was expressionless, and he didn't speak.

As the guests left, the Dingguo Mansion quieted down after a day of noise.
Of course, the only thing that is really quiet is the Rose Garden.
Han Youning was practicing calligraphy in the study, and there was chirping birds outside the window, clear and happy.
Aunt Sun happily instructed the two little maids, "You carry the basket and follow me to the flower room, the chrysanthemums that the eldest lady bought with silver can't be cheaper than others!"
Yu Niang said to the little maid, "You go to the needlework room and ask if the eldest lady's clothes are ready." If we haven't already, we don't want it, and it doesn't hurt to trouble the Jin Wangfu again."
Ling'er smiled and gave Han Youning an ink, "Miss, you are so powerful, one ring after another, so that the old witch can't resist it!"
Han Youning dipped it in ink and said lightly, "It's just a part."
Ling'er wondered, "One Ring?"
Han Youning's pen was sharp and sharp, and he moved his pen like a knife, writing a big word "Wen", and every stroke was full of hatred. The thick black ink seemed to have turned into thick blood, meandering and flowing.
"It's just beginning, and there's still a long way to go."
Chunhui Hall.
For Mrs. Han, today's mansion seems to have experienced a catastrophe, leaving a mess.
She was supposed to win, and everything was designed to be flawless, but in the end, it became a joke full of loopholes.
Her reputation, her granddaughter's reputation, her son's official position, are gone.
She sat weakly on the kang with a gloomy face.
Han Rui, who was sitting in front of the kang, had an extremely ugly face.
Xiao Wen said while crying, "Is this the end that my mother said about borrowing a knife to kill people?
? Wan'er lost her innocence, how can she be the crown princess?! She doesn't say anything now, she doesn't eat anything, in case there's a good ......."
"Why did my mother let the second old man go through my mother's surrogate, you should always think about him! He has a great future, he will soon be a squire in the military department, and in a few years, Luo Shangshu will be a scholar, and he may succeed Shangshu. Now there's nothing left......
"That's enough!"
Old Madam Han was furious, and the Buddha beads in her hand were thrown out fiercely, and the Buddha beads were scattered all over the ground.
She has always been the same in the house, and everyone respects her, and she has never been so accused by her juniors.
"You can't help but think too well, don't you know why the second child was promoted to the head of the military department? 100,000 taels of snowflake silver! You're still thinking about the military department's book, how much silver do you get!"
Xiao Wen stopped crying and retorted with tears in his eyes, "Anyway, it's not my mother's silver that is spent, if you can really become the secretary of the military department, why not spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!"
Old Madam Han said coldly, "Don't think that Chen Man's dowry is yours in your hands, don't be unclear when it's time to settle the account!"
"Grandpa Guo has no wife and no daughter, can he still be embarrassed to ask me?" Xiao Wen snorted coldly, "Besides, he was pinched in the palm of your hand, so he can't be a rebel, right?"
Old Madam Han showed disgust in her eyes, and she talked about greed like this, it was really unattractive!
She said impatiently, "You go and accompany Wan'er." If you tell her that if you don't take the last step, it won't necessarily be the end of the mountain."
When Xiao Wen heard this, his face showed hope, "Mother is saying that there is still room for things to turn around?"
Old Madam Han didn't bother to explain to her, and waved her hand, "Hurry up."
Xiao Wen was not as discouraged as Fang Cai, wiped his tears, and went out of the upper room.
Han Rui looked at his kind mother and dignified and generous wife, who showed an unbearable side, which he had never seen before, and his face was hateful.
In just one day, it seems that everything has changed.
Old Madam Han looked at Han Rui and asked, "Are you just like Yuzhen, and you resent me in your heart?"
Han Rui was silent for a moment and sighed heavily, "My son doesn't dare."
"I know you're not happy, but you have to understand that as long as I am in this house, your glory and wealth will be indispensable. If I fall, you will not even be qualified to stay in this house. Do you think Han Jun is easy to deal with? He came over with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood! With your ability, you can't even match him with half a move!"
Old Madam Han paused and glanced at Han Rui's dark face, "Don't be discouraged, this title of Duke of Dingguo doesn't necessarily have to be in the big house."
Han Rui looked at Old Madam Han in disbelief, he originally thought that his mother was planning to live comfortably under Han Jun's support for the rest of his life.
It turns out that my mother also has this plan?
"Mother also said that the eldest brother is not easy to deal with, so you are not afraid that you will not be able to end up in the end?"
Old Madam Han sneered, "I'm afraid it can't be ended."
