Chapter 410 Jealousy Makes People Crazy
"My grandson pays homage to his grandmother. Wish her peace and happiness!"

Xiao Changdong is not old, but he prefers to imitate adults. When greeting Mrs. Sheng, he also bowed and bowed. With his small stature and two small horns on his head, he looked quite handsome. For fun.

"No need to be polite, just sit down!"

"Thank you, grandma!" Xiao Changdong walked over to Ru Lan and sat down next to him. Looking inside was Mo Lan.

"Grandma, why don't you see Sixth Sister and Sister Qian?" Xiao Changdong is still young after all. He has been spending time with Minglan and Wang Qier these days, but now he suddenly doesn't see Minglan in the old lady's house. Lan, can’t help but feel a little confused.

Mrs. Sheng smiled and said: "Yesterday, the official issued a decree to make Sister Qian the princess of Yong'an. She was also rewarded with a princess mansion. I heard that there are many treasures. The farm. Your sixth sister followed Sister Qian yesterday. We went to collect them together, and we are probably counting them now.

By the way, when Brother Dong meets Sister Qian in the future, he can no longer call her Sister Qian, but the princess. "

Mrs. Sheng added as she spoke.

"My grandson knows!" Changdong responded.

"No wonder I didn't see Sister Qian this morning... I didn't see the Princess. Yesterday she said she wanted to teach me her best pear blossom spear!"

"Sister Qian... Princess Yong'an has always said what she said. Since she said she would teach you, she will definitely not break her promise. She just wants to wait a few more days!"

"Fifth sister is absolutely right!" Changdong cupped his hands at Rulan.

What Changdong didn't know was that Mo Lan, who was separated from him by Rulan, had already darkened her face. The handkerchief was clenched tightly, her eyes were dim, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

This cannot be hidden from Ru Lan, who has been paying attention to Mo Lan's face. Ru Lan has always disliked Mo Lan. She always confronts Mo Lan no matter what happens. It's just that Ru Lan, who is upright and has no scheming, can be so scheming and scheming. The tit-for-tat confrontation between the sharp-tongued Mo Lan and the two usually ended with Ru Lan defeated and defeated.

Seeing this situation, he immediately said: "Our sixth sister is really unlucky. Not only did she marry a good man, but now she has become the aunt of Princess Yong'an, and our family has also benefited from it!"

Especially thinking about the way Wang Qier called her aunt, Rulan's face suddenly burst into laughter.

In the past, although the Sheng family was also a family of officials, Sheng Hong was only a fifth-rank petty official. With the death of Mrs. Wang, Wang Ruofu's natal family was not as powerful as before. Although some in-laws are still in Bianjing, In the city of Bianjing, which is full of nobles, it really doesn't count. In the past, I just went out to attend those elegant gatherings where tea was enjoyed and flowers were arranged, and polo and ball gatherings. I couldn't say much and had to act based on people's faces. , lest you accidentally offend someone and cause trouble for your family.

Even the eldest daughter who was the legitimate daughter married an Earl who was the lowest among the nobility, and was said to be a high achiever. She was not less angry with the mean mother-in-law in the Yuan family, but her own family was compared to the Zhongqin Earl's Mansion. There are still many gaps.

Now that there is an additional princess niece, Ru Lan suddenly became excited, and her mind was already thinking about which polo hammer party she would attend in the future. Others would call her princess, but this distinguished princess When she walked up to her and respectfully called her aunt, Ru Lan couldn't help but think about the rich expressions on the faces of those people who were complimenting her and calling her aunt, and the smile on her face naturally became brighter.

The relationship between Mrs. Sheng and Ru Lan is actually average. The old lady doesn't like Ru Lan's arrogance, but she likes Ru Lan's straightforwardness, intelligence, and lack of scheming.

Seeing such a bright smile, the old lady seemed to be infected, and a smile appeared on her face.

Listening to the more harsh words that came out of Ru Lan's mouth, Mo Lan would have started to get angry in normal times, but now in Shou'an Hall, in front of Mrs. Sheng, especially on topics related to Minglan, who wouldn't Knowing that Ming Lan was the old lady's favorite, Mo Lan would not make herself unhappy.

After a sudden change in his face, he stood up, forced a smile, and saluted: "Grandma, Mo'er is not feeling well, so I'm leaving now!"

"Since you're not feeling well, then go back and rest early!" Old Mrs. Sheng was so clear-eyed that she couldn't see what Mo Lan was thinking. It's just that she never liked Mo Lan's temper. Her biological mother, Lin Sushuang, had learned all the tricks, and after all, Mo Lan was also a girl from the Sheng family. Although Old Mrs. Sheng was partial to Minglan, she would not bother to pick on these juniors unless it involved big issues of right and wrong. Wrong place.

After all, only when the family is harmonious can everything be prosperous!
Ru Lan's face turned green when she saw Mo Lan was so angry that she almost couldn't help but laugh regardless of her image.

Lin Qige, watching Mo Lan walk in angrily, Lin Sushuang held the handkerchief and walked to sit next to Mo Lan, poured a cup of hot tea and asked: "What's wrong with me? Who is this blind person who provokes you again?" Already?"

"If you're not that little bitch like Ru Lan, you're just a princess, worthy of her fawning over you!" Mo Lan complained angrily.

Lin Sushuang was stunned and reacted in an instant. She immediately grabbed Mo Lan's hand, sighed and said, "My son, he has just made great achievements. Now he is the princess who was conferred by the official personally. Even the prince They all have to remember their kindness, the storm is booming, there is no need for us to be angry with them at this time."

"Isn't he just a princess? He can't be an official, so what's the big deal!" Mo Lan said disdainfully.

"Yes, yes!" Lin Sushuang comforted with a smile: "She is just a princess. She has nothing but her name. And with her temperament, she is good at dancing with guns and sticks. No young master can look up to her like that. Such a girl can’t even compare to a hair of my son’s!”

The mother and daughter were obviously talking about Ru Lan, but as they were talking, the topic turned to Wang Qier's head. The sour smell in her words could be smelled even outside Linqi Pavilion.

"Sooner or later, I will make it impossible for them to reach a higher level!" Mo Lan clenched her fists tightly and said harsh words.

Lin Sushuang winked at the side. When Xia Xueniang saw this, she immediately understood and drove out the serving female envoys, guarding the door herself.

"My son, you have to hurry up. You rejected your father last time and already made him unhappy. Now that damn girl Minglan is lucky enough to meet a niece who has been granted the title of princess. I'm afraid Then Wang Zhong will also be promoted because of this, and Wei Shuyi, that prostitute, is wholeheartedly siding with that bitch of the Wang family. By then, in this prosperous family, there will be no place for you, my mother and my son to stand."

Fortunately, Lin Sushuang still has weight in Sheng Hong's heart. Otherwise, Sheng Hong would have been relegated to the cold palace long ago, and he would still be able to occupy Lin Qi Pavilion as before.

Although he can no longer compete with the Wang family, Lin Sushuang has managed to win over a group of people again.

"Mrs. Wu is in Tokyo these days and she is bringing Liu Lang of her family to visit her family. The Liang family is a Marquis's Mansion. Although it is not as prominent as the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, it is still one of the richest families in the city of Tokyo, with a huge fortune. , Liang Liulang is the youngest son, although there is no way for him to ascend the throne, but even if the family is separated in the future, he will definitely be able to get a generous share of the family property!"

"Auntie, I know, I know!" Mo Lan was annoyed by Lin Sushuang's words, and said impatiently: "How many times have you said these things about Chelulu! If you don't mind irritating me, why not?" It's annoying!" "Okay, okay! Mom, stop talking! Mom, stop talking!" Seeing that her daughter was losing her patience, Lin Sushuang also wisely stopped talking. After all, after living in the back house for so many years, Lin Sushuang Shuang's eyesight is not comparable to that of Wang Ruofu and Ru Lan. She knows that Mo Lan is feeling aggrieved because of Wang Qian'er's matter, so she stops adding salt to Mo Lan's wounds.

After comforting Mo Lan for a while, and seeing that the depression in Mo Lan's heart had dissipated a lot, Lin Sushuang sighed and said helplessly: "Mo'er, your brother is useless, and your father is unreliable. The only person my mother can rely on in this life is you! You must give me a voice!"

Mo Lan said: "Do you think I don't want to? But now I can't even go out of the house, and I can't see Liang Liulang. No matter how powerful I am, what's the use if I can't use it!"

Since the palace coup, Wang Ruofu and Sheng Hong have kept their homes closed and their children are not allowed to go out for a stroll. Even Chang Feng has been banned from studying at home. Sisters Mo Lan and Ru Lan have not gone out for a long time.

Lin Sushuang said: "Your father is unreliable. The people he picked for you were just picking and choosing from those poor families. The Wen Yanjing last time was from an ordinary farmer's family, and his family only had There are several acres of thin farmland, and there is not even a place to stay in the city. If you get married, I don’t know how much hardship you will have to endure!"

"If you meet someone who is motivated, that's it. If you survive for ten to twenty years, you may still have a chance to get ahead. But if you meet someone who doesn't know how to make progress, your life will be over!"

······
It has to be said that Wang Zhong's butterfly wings are quite effective. If the original plot is followed, Mo Lan is already Liang Liulang's wife at this time, and Lin Sushuang died after being slapped by Sheng Hong. She was in Zhuangzi, but now Minglan had beaten Youyang and got married directly, which allowed Lin Sushuang to escape death.

It's quite interesting to drink and peck at the same time.

It's just that there is no shortage of people in this world who seek death, especially those who think they are smart and treat others as idiots. Lin Sushuang is such a person.

Now that Minglan is already a member of the Wang family, she has to be busy helping Wang Qian'er handle matters in the princess's mansion. Naturally, she has no time to pay attention to the affairs of the Sheng family. Naturally, she doesn't know that because of Wang Qian'er, Mo Mo The competitive spirit of mother and daughter Lan and Lin Sushuang was completely aroused, and they had to let Mo Lan's future husband's family surpass Ming Lan and Wang Ruofu's two daughters.

For the so-called glory and wealth, the mother and daughter have begun to plan how to get Mo Lan to seduce Liang Han, the sixth son of the Liang family in Yongchang Hou Mansion, so that she can marry into the Hou Mansion and become the eldest wife.

But even if Minglan knew about it, she would definitely not stop it, and it was unclear whether she would even do anything. After all, Minglan had always remembered what Lin Sushuang did to her biological mother and younger brother, and she had never done anything about it. Forgot.

Time passes day by day, autumn is passing, winter is coming, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

Emperor Jiayou's health became worse and worse. He spent more and more time in coma every day and less and less time awake. Finally, on the first snowy night in late October, he passed away.

Before his death, he left an edict for the prince to ascend the throne, and there was no need to hold a grand funeral. As for observing filial piety, the sun followed the moon. Everything was kept simple and should not affect the daily lives of the people.

Inside and outside the border, in the streets and alleys, every household spontaneously hung up white banners. Many older people knelt at the door of their homes, facing the direction of the imperial city, crying bitterly. This alone was enough to see that Emperor Jiayou Prestige among the people.

After the 27th, in late winter, Prince Zhao Zongquan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, with the support of Empress Cao, Grand Prime Minister Han Zhang and other important ministers, and changed the country's name to Xining.

However, not long after Zhao Zongquan came to the throne, the Guangnan Road was intertwined, and the Dali countries sent large armies to the border to suppress the border. They had already occupied more than ten counties in Guangnan Prefecture, and it seemed that they had planned it for a long time.

Zhao Zongquan had just ascended the throne, and his buttocks were not yet warm, but something like this happened. In addition, Emperor Jiayou had just passed away and was still in state mourning, so a lot of other noises could not help but be made.

When Wang Zhong, who was far away in Quanzhou, received the news, it was already the twelfth lunar month.

"What does Zihou think of this?" Chen Jun, the governor of the state, hurriedly came to Wang Zhong to discuss countermeasures.

Wang Zhong smiled and poured a cup of tea for Chen Jun, and said: "The war happened in Guangnan, which is thousands of miles away from us. Even if Guangnan fell, they wouldn't be able to reach us for a while. !”

When Chen Jun heard this, he frowned and stared at Wang Zhong for a while before saying, "Zi Hou, this is not like you!"

Wang Zhongdao: "What do you think, Duke Ming, the national strength of Dali and Jiaozhi compares with our dynasty?"

"Fireflies are not the same as bright moons!" Chen Jun said.

"That being the case, what else is Ming Gong worried about?" Wang Chong said with a smile.

Chen Jun said with some worry: "Now our Song Dynasty is surrounded by enemies. There are Khitan and Liao people in the north, Jurchen barbarians in the northeast, Xixia Qiang people in the northwest, Tubo in the west, and many small countries such as Dali and Wenzhou in the southwest. Go Huaixi has just experienced a civil turmoil, and now that the late emperor has passed away and the new emperor has just ascended the throne, I am afraid that other countries will follow suit and the court will be unable to cope with it!"

Wang Zhong said, "Ming Gong's concerns are not unreasonable. It's just that our new official has just ascended the throne. It's time to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and establish prestige. It's not a bad thing if someone jumps out to be the chicken at this time!"

"Killing the chicken to scare the monkey?" Chen Jun was stunned and nodded unconsciously.

Then he frowned and analyzed calmly: "Jiaozhi and Dali are small and weak, and they don't have many soldiers. Don't say that I will go to court. Even Tibet, which is now divided, is not something they can provoke. But at this time, These small countries have jumped out and want to take a piece of our flesh, I'm afraid there is some ulterior motive behind this!"

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "So this time the imperial court will definitely use the power of thunder to clear up the turmoil in the south to scare Xiao Xiao!"

Chen Jun couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, and then said: "It's just that our maritime merchants going to Nanyang in the near future will be affected?"

"It's not impossible!" Wang Zhong said.

Chen Jun sighed and said with some emotion: "What a troubled time!"
