The beauty of the lady

Chapter 68 Entering Beijing (9)
Perhaps, for the current uncle, being able to keep his aunt's dowry is the only thing he can do.

"In a few days, I'll go to the Hou's mansion to pick you up, auntie, brother Ming and Yuanyuan. Let's go live in the mansion together for a while. If my aunt returns to Beijing, she will probably go back to see my grandfather." To be honest, he also Not sure.

Zhao Chengyin's body was slightly stiff, and after a while he nodded lightly, and said with a soft smile, "Let's talk about it when the time comes."

In fact, he also felt that he had no face to face his own sister. Although there was only each other left in the world, he failed to protect her after all.

The two sat until dusk, before Xuan Shaoling sent Zhao Chengyin back to the Hou Mansion.

"Young Master, will Missy really come back?" The old butler with half-white hair pushed the wooden wheelchair and slowly walked towards Zhuxun Courtyard.

"Didn't Ling'er say that she will be back in a few months? Does Shan Bo miss Shan'er too?" His voice was hollow.

Zhao Shan nodded, the wrinkles on his face became more relaxed because of his smile, "Yes, I haven't seen the eldest lady for more than ten years. If it wasn't for the son, I'm afraid I would have lived my life in a mess. .”

"Uncle Shan, don't talk about Shan'er in the mansion."

"..." Zhao Shan's expression darkened because of his words, then he nodded, and said in response: "Young master, this old slave knows."

He understands the suffering of the young master. He has been in the Hou Mansion for most of his life. He has seen too many dirty things, which made him tired of the things here. By the side of the young master, for so many years, the young master has been watched by him growing up. He was obviously so smart when he was young, and the old man was full of praise for his cleverness. He once said that when the Hou family has a young master, he will definitely surpass the ancestors of all generations. of.

Who would have thought that the old man had only left for more than 20 years, but the current Hou Mansion has already changed.

Back in Zhuxun Courtyard, I saw a fair-skinned beautiful woman doing embroidery work in the gazebo in the courtyard. Next to her was a boy reading a book, and a girl about eight or nine years old was also writing with a pen.

"Father, you are back." The boy stepped forward, took Zhao Shan's hand, and pushed him into the gazebo.

Lu put his clothes in the wire basket next to him and poured him a cup of tea, "Dinner will be served later, why did you take so long to go out today?"

"Chat with Ling'er for a while longer." Zhao Chengyin took the tea with a smile, took a sip and put it on the stone table, then leaned over to look at the girl's handwriting, and said with a smile: "Yuanyuan's handwriting is getting more and more beautiful, How many pages of copybooks did you write today?"

Zhao Yuanyuan is 11 years old this year, but she looks shorter and thinner than children of the same age. It was only because she suffered a cold a few years ago and she was not able to seek medical treatment in time, so she almost died.

Obviously life has just begun, obviously his daughter is so smart and sensible, obviously so well-behaved that makes people feel distressed, obviously she is the grandson of the Chengbei Hou Mansion, but in this huge and beautiful mansion, she lives with the mistress next to her. People's lives are not as good, whose fault is all this.

Later, although many famous doctors were also invited, after seeing it, they all said that it was impossible for a god to recover.

In the evening, the family had dinner in the gazebo. After the food was served, Zhao Chengyin finished his son's school examination.

"Today, I came back from my mother. I heard that Sister Lan has made a marriage proposal. She is the eldest son of the Su family in Jiangbei. The official media has gone to Ciyun Temple to match the horoscope for Sister Lan. The host said it was a match made in heaven. Mother very happy."

"En!" Zhao Chengyin nodded, knowing it.

Zhao Yuanming frowned slightly, looked at his father and said, "Jiangbei Su family, father..."

"Dinner, we'll talk about everything after dinner."

"Yes!"

He didn't say anything after that, but after dinner, he got up and pushed Zhao Chengyin to the study.

"Father, my eldest aunt can be regarded as the daughter of the Chengbei Hou family, why did she marry into a merchant's family?" He remembered that the grandmother was the most important family, so shouldn't he just want to marry the eldest aunt into a princely family? ?Why did you make such a decision, "Could it be grandfather's intention? Is the Hou family also very sad?"

All these years, they eat and use all in their own yard, unless they go to the room to have a meal occasionally during the holidays, but only occasionally, because if they are here, grandparents, aunts and uncles will not be able to eat well , so as time goes by, they will come back after just going to pay their respects as a family.

As for Yueyin, he couldn't remember how long it had been since they were distributed to Zhuxunyuan. Probably the entire Chengbeihou Mansion had forgotten about them.

However, regarding this matter, the Zhuxun Courtyard has all adopted a silent attitude. As for food and clothing, all of them are the mother's dowry. Anyway, there are only four masters, and the mother's three shops can be enough for two farms. Their family used it, and they are not extravagant people.

"Jiangbei Su's family is the richest man's family in the Jiangbei region of the Great Yan Dynasty. In the past few years, the new emperor came to the throne, Sun Dianchen was dismissed. Don't meddle in things."

"The son knows, father don't worry."

He is 15 years old this year, and the Chengbeihou Mansion has belonged to them all these years, and what kind of existence they have in the Chengbeihou Mansion has already become very clear.

His father is obviously the eldest son of the Chengbeihou Mansion, and there is even a foreign family like the Duke of Anguo's Mansion. He doesn't understand why his grandfather doesn't want to see his father. As for the grandmother who passed away early, his mother didn't see her when she married. He was gone when he was young, but he heard from his father that his grandmother was very beautiful. Even Emperor Yuanchang had admiration for his grandmother. I understand why my grandfather is so ruthless.

From a very young age, he knew that his grandmother was very displeased with them, but his grandfather didn't help them. It seemed that he had already forgotten the existence of their eldest family. Until three years ago, his grandfather begged the dying Hong It was only when Emperor Yuan appointed his uncle as his son that he thoroughly felt that the Chengbeihou Mansion was nothing more than a temporary residence for him.

He had never heard from his father that he was his hope, but he wanted to be his father's hope.

"Ming'er, you just need to live your life. Father also has father's life. There is no relationship between us father and son. Father is destined to wither in the Marquis Mansion in this life, but you are different. Here It's a cage, and you just want to break free from this cage, do you understand?"

"My son understands." Even if he understood, he couldn't do it.

The former Wei Wang Mansion has been replaced by a brand-new plaque carved in black on a red background. The large official character "Zhou Mansion" on it seems to be telling the world about the past and future of this mansion.
