Chapter 27 Grandson’s Daughter-in-law
The confidant’s servant waited for him to finish venting before walking to his side and said, “My lord, you are the first among the princes to have a title. You can leave the palace and build a palace. According to the rules of the palace, you will There are officials such as Chang Shi who are at your disposal."
Lin Yun's eyes lit up and his face showed joy, "Pack your things away and move to the palace after the palace is repaired."
"Yes." The chamberlain who appeased his master took the order and left.
At the same time, the girls from the Zhao family who went home for the New Year, except Zhao Shuqing who was sick, were all taken back to the mansion.
I paid New Year greetings to Mrs. Zhao and the others, received the red envelope, and returned to the yard.
Mrs. Qiao and Chengxiang, who were left in the mansion by Zhao Wangshu, were reporting to her what had happened in the past few days, "On New Year's Eve, the old lady brought Miss Shuangzhi into the palace."
"Mrs. Qinsan didn't make any trouble?" Zhao Wangshu asked.
"There was no fuss, but to show off to the old lady, she also said that she would take the Jiahua girl back to raise her." Lady Qiao found out more, "On the first day of the first lunar month, Master Qin and his family came I paid New Year’s greetings to the old lady and took away several gift boxes.”
This was a trouble, but the mansion tried to calm it down.
Cheng Xiang continued: "The second prince has been granted the title of Prince of the County, and the Empress has also arranged a marriage between him and the eldest daughter of Duke Shen."
Zhao Wangshu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked at The battle for reserves is beginning to show signs.
"On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the eldest master and the eldest wife took the eldest young master to visit Taifu Jiang. Taifu Jiang has a granddaughter who is as big as Miss Yuzhen." The meaning of Mrs. Qiao's words was very clear.
"You have quite high standards." Zhao Wangshu said with a sarcastic smile.
Zhao He is a white man, so even if he has a father who is a third-grade official, marrying the granddaughter of a first-grade official is still considered a high achievement.
It has always been a matter of marrying a wife at a low level and a daughter at a high level. The Zhao family dared to pursue it only because of the power of the one in the palace.
"That Miss Jiang is a third-rate married woman, and her father is just a sixth-grade Imperial College Supervisor." Lady Qiao continued.
The daughter of a sixth-rank official marries the son of a third-rank official, which is regarded as a high marriage. Together with the grandfather of a first-rank official, the two are of equal status.
Zhao Wangshu chuckled and said: "This can be regarded as a well-matched marriage."
On the ninth day of the lunar month, the Zhao family held a banquet to entertain relatives and friends.
When Zhao Wangshu returned to the banquet hall from the clean room, he saw a chubby strange girl sitting next to Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao held her hand and spoke in a friendly manner.
"Do you know that girl? Which family is she from? The old lady seems to like her very much."Zhao Wangshu asked Zhao Jiahua in a low voice.
"Of course I like it, my future granddaughter-in-law." Zhao Jiahua spit out the date core in his mouth.
“Girl from the Jiang family, you are blessed with your looks and are lovable.”
Zhao Jiahua glanced at her and said, “You are really good at talking.”
"Three inches under the skin are all white bones. There is not much difference between you and me." Zhao Wangshu said calmly.
"Amitabha, these words have Zen truth. Why don't you read the script and read the Buddhist scriptures instead?"
"I'm not an old lady. What Buddhist scriptures should I read? It was just a casual remark."
At this time, Mrs. Zhao introduced them to them with a smile: "Miss Jiang, you should know each other, you are of similar age, so you should get along well."
Zhao Shuangzhi came up before Zhao Yuzhen and said: "Hello, sister Jiang, do you still remember me? I am Shuangzhi."
"I remember you, hello, sister Shuangzhi." Jiang Lihong stood up road.
"Old lady, don't worry, I will greet Sister Jiang well." Zhao Shuangzhi held Jiang Lihong's hand and said.
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said: "Okay, let's go play."
The elders were chatting in the hall, while the girls went to play in the wing.
Zhao Shuangzhi greeted: "Don't be formal, everyone, just do it like you are at home. Just tell us what you want to eat and play."
Her style made Zhao Yu really Very dissatisfied, but Zhao Yuzhen has always been patient, and it was not convenient to argue with Zhao Shuangzhi in front of outsiders, so he could only sit aside angrily.
Under Zhao Shuangzhi’s arrangement, all the girls had their own fun, playing chess, stringing beads, or turning flower ropes.
While they were having fun, the maid brought a pastry. Jiang Lihong smelled the aroma of the pastry, picked up a piece, took a bite, and praised: "This pastry is so delicious, fragrant and sweet. "
When Zhao Shuangzhi saw that Jiang Lihong liked it, he smiled and said, "This is specially made by the cook in our house. If Sister Jiang likes it, just eat more."
Jiang Lihong nodded and said, "Okay, then I'm welcome." As she said that, she reached out and took another piece.
The pastry was not big, so she finished it in two or three bites. Then she took another one, and all the pastries in front of her went into her stomach.
"No wonder he looks so rich." Zhao Jiahua leaned into Zhao Wangshu's ear and whispered.
Zhao Wangshu smiled and said: "Don't make trouble."
"The cooks in our house are very good at cooking. Sister Jiang will have many opportunities to taste them in the future." Zhao Shuangzhi said with a smile.
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Lihong said shyly.
A hint of cunning flashed in Zhao Shuangzhi’s eyes, and he said: “Don’t Sister Jiang know what I said? I’m waiting to call Sister Jiang and sister-in-law.”
Jiang Lihong The rosy face became redder and redder.
In the afternoon, the guests all left happily, and Mrs. Zhao happily presented a set of gilt flower heads to Zhao Shuangzhi.
"Thank you, old lady." Zhao Shuangzhi was in the limelight and received a reward again, smiling with joy and joy.
As a result, Zhao Yuzhen became even more dissatisfied with her. When Zhao Shuangzhi asked her about acupuncture, he said coldly: "I haven't learned it either. You go ask the teacher."
When Zhao Shuangzhi couldn't finish copying the book and asked her for help, she flatly refused, "My husband taught me a new acupuncture technique today. I have to practice acupuncture and I don't have time. You can find someone else."
Once or twice Later, Zhao Shuangzhi also saw that Zhao Yuzhen was resentful of her. Although the sisters did not break up publicly, they had no contact with each other in private.
Other girls tried to be peacemakers, but failed one after another. Knowing that they could not make peace between the two, they stopped being troublesome. Anyway, if they don't interact with each other, they won't interact with each other.
It’s not a big deal if there are too many relatives who don’t interact with each other.
During the Chinese New Year in Beijing, there is nothing major except visiting relatives and friends, eating, drinking and having fun.
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Zhao’s natal family entertained guests, and Mrs. Zhao wanted to take some girls with her.
"Who do you want to take with you?" Mrs. Zhao asked.
"My daughter-in-law wants to take the older ones, Yujia, Yufang, Wangshu and Jiahua." Mrs. Zhao's second wife lowered her head, not daring to look at Old Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao stared at her and remained silent for a long time.
After not hearing Mrs. Zhao speak for a long time, Mrs. Zhao looked up, her feet were weak, and she stammered and asked: "Old lady, why are you looking at your daughter-in-law like this?"< br />
"I don't care what your plans are for eating things inside and outside. Stop it." Old Mrs. Zhao glared at her with a straight face, as if she wanted to eat her alive.
Mrs. Zhao Er’s body trembled and her face turned pale.
"If you dare to mess with the girls' ideas in the future, you can go back to your parents' house." Old Mrs. Zhao said sternly.
She spends a lot of money to train the girls in the family, which is useful, not just to show off to her daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Zhao Er lowered her head, not even daring to breathe.
"Your mother's family is treating us to a treat. You can just go back by yourself. Get lost." Old Mrs. Zhao said in disgust.
Second Mrs. Zhao bowed and left, went to the door, turned her head and spat silently inside.
