Chapter 173
Different from the old lady who beats and spoils others, Xu Cheng finally knows why the emperor has been coming to him for sex recently.
Hit his girl's idea!
It's - asshole.
What kind of person is he? Doesn't he have points in his heart?
Dare to miss the baby girl that he carefully cultivated!
But because he is the emperor, the old ancestor can fight because of his status and seniority, he can't even think about it, the most he can do is listen to the old ancestor's order, catch him, and let the old ancestor beat him hard.
Xu Cheng knelt down: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible for a girl raised by our Xu family to be a concubine!" They worked so hard, but it was only for their own baby to stand up in the future: "Now your majesty and the empress are singing in harmony. , Zhao Zan is not worthy of the royal family, please take it back your majesty."
The Xu family's objection really woke Hedi, who had been floating all this time, by a plate of cold water.
Zhao Zan is indeed excellent. Over the years, His Majesty the Emperor, who has been sowing and harvesting every year in Xu Guogong's mansion, has watched her grow up with his own eyes.
However, no matter how good and beautiful this girl is, it cannot change that she is a daughter abandoned by her father's family. Even if she is under the pressure of her uncle's family, it is also a fact that she was abandoned by her father's family on the premise that her father's family has made serious mistakes.
Originally, she still had a very good future with the backing of the Xu family, but she had a mother who held her back!
Don't look at her mother remarried now, she is already the queen of a country, and still controls the power of a small country.
And the Zhao family relied on Prime Minister Zhao to support them desperately, barely maintaining the appearance on the surface, but the desolate situation behind it.
At the beginning, everyone may still have the same hatred and disdain for the Zhao family, but they still agree with and understand the actions of Xu Guogong's mansion.
But after so many years, the Zhao family has gradually become a sympathetic tease.
For Xu Shan, it is more disgusting.
The inevitable result of this distorted patriarchal thinking.
No matter how much recognition and understanding, when Xu Shan wants to be scheming, has means and means, and her talents are not weaker than... no, when she is better than most men in the world, what the world does to a woman like Xu Shan All that's left is criticism.
Because of the development of sea trade in China, on the surface, her approach is more favorable than negative, but in terms of the criteria for choosing a wife, Zhao Zan, who is praised for her motherly demeanor, has been excluded from the choice of daughter-in-law for a first-class family. outside.
The clan's wife is in charge of the inheritance of the family, and there is a mother who dares to kick her husband's family and remarry and become a queen, so Zhao Zan's future choices will not be very good.
Even a family of generals who are not very particular about it is unwilling to marry such a Hedong lion.
Hen Sichen has always been a taboo in a patriarchal society.
After marrying such a daughter-in-law, it is difficult to say whether the family will take the son's surname or the daughter-in-law's surname in the future.
Therefore, Zhao Zan's choice range is only poor families or families with a small family.
Different from modern thinking, in the ancient times when clans were connected, the number of people was the guarantee of strength and the prosperity of the family.Ordinary families don't really like families with only one son or only one child.
If the Xu family had an outstanding male in Zhao Zan's generation, the situation might be different, but the Xu family didn't have one, and all of them were daughters.
No matter how powerful Xu Shan and Xu Zhong are, in the Xu family, if there is no male succession, no one can see the hope of succession.
Emperor He really felt that his willingness to marry Zhao Zan as imperial concubine was a gift to the Xu family.
He never expected that from the oldest old lady of the Xu family to the only male who can speak in the capital, they would all be so resistant!
The imperial decree was also announced, and the whole world knew that he really couldn't step down after being rejected by the Xu family.
The queen mother is very satisfied with the performance of the Xu family, which is different from the high-spirited Hedi. In the eyes of the queen mother who has experienced enough, the performance of the Xu family is the real truth!
Helping the old lady who was rolling, the queen mother gently persuaded: "Old lady, I also know that your family is not willing, but we still have to listen to the young people's ideas, right?"
The only remaining nanny who was waiting nearby received the Queen Mother's gaze, and Fushen backed out of the palace gate: "I invited your girl Zhao Zan here, why don't we ask her opinion?"
The old lady (Lin Lan) scolded the empress dowager in her heart, and stood up pretending to be comforted.
After Zhao Zan received the imperial decree, she was still in a daze. She really didn't expect that the emperor had such an idea, and she had all kinds of complicated emotions in her heart, but she took a deep breath and entered the palace calmly, ignoring The surrounding chaos, saluted like two supreme beings in the world.
"The daughter of the people sees the Empress Dowager Qiansui, Your Majesty Wanan."
Seeing that the bright girl is still calm, the queen mother and the emperor are very satisfied.
"Pingshen, the Ai family invited you here to ask you, are you willing to enter the palace?"
Zhao Zan only raised his head halfway, and did not meet the Empress Dowager's eyes: "If you don't want to, the daughter of the Xu family will never be a concubine. It was my mother who taught her when she was young."
The Queen Mother was even more satisfied, but her voice was filled with anger and embarrassment: "Presumptuous, could it be possible to become a royal concubine and wronged you, a woman who was abandoned by the clan?"
Zhao Zan took advantage of the honesty of the Xu family: "For a commoner girl, it is indeed wronged. It is impossible for the Xu family to produce a girl who will be a concubine!"
As for the clan, what is that, can it be eaten?
His Majesty the Emperor who thinks he is full of charm: ...
My face hurts a bit!
The queen mother was gloating hard in her heart: "Do you know what you will face after you reject the royal family, and what will the Xu family face, do you have the heart?"
This is not a joke, the imperial decree has been sent out, and there is no intention of taking it back.
The majesty of the royal family absolutely does not allow anyone to resist the decree.
The lightest punishment is ransacking the house and exile, there is absolutely no possibility of lenient punishment.
Zhao Zan didn't raise his head until this time, and looked straight at the queen mother and the emperor: "I know, but the royal family and the ancestors of the Xu family are just hunters on the same mountain. If our two families would easily succumb to power and wealth People, there will be no Dali today. It's just a new start, and our Xu family can bear it."
"If I enter the palace under the banner of being for the Xu family, I will be an insult to the Xu family!"
Obviously her elders are trying their best to fight for all of this for her, but she also pretends that a girl who is willing to wrong her for the sake of their glory and wealth is an idiot.
Either really stupid, or really greedy!
Similarly, those hypocritical people who verbally say they don't want to wrong their daughter's family, but face pain and determination in front of their daughter's family, also make her feel ashamed.
That kind of pretense is just a hypocrisy that wants both face and liking!
Trying to use family affection to impress a girl's self-sacrifice, don't be too fake!
A family that really loves their daughter should be like the Xu family, who directly broke into the palace and resolutely rejected it regardless of everything.
At this time, Zhao Zan realized what her mother felt back then. Although she did not change her surname, she was always proud of being part of the Xu family all her life.
Besides, Zhao Zan didn't think at all that the royal family was willing to abandon the Xu family's useful chess pieces!
Therefore, she is full of confidence: "The Xu family may not be rich or powerful, but they cannot be without strength of character."
There is a group of family members who defend her like this, and she herself gave up fighting, and she will not do things that slap her family in the face.
After Zhao Zan finished speaking, Xu Cheng yelled: "Okay, it's our Xu family's baby! Your Majesty, we don't accept this canonized decree, please exile our family! My Xu family's baby, even if I die, I will stand up!" Straight back!"
His Majesty the Emperor: ...
It's a big game!
It was obviously for the sake of a good relationship between the two families, but how did it turn into a robbery of the daughters of the people!
The face really hurts!
"Okay, okay..." The queen mother was the one who spoke right away. She liked the Xu family, even if her daughter had this kind of character: "Old lady, Xu family brothers, and Zhao girl, don't be impatient. You guys apologize, this time, the emperor has passed, he shouldn't have made such an order without discussing it, and now it's hard to get off, we should discuss how to solve it."
The queen mother would not tell them that she just wanted to see the emperor get embarrassed, so she didn't remind the emperor who felt good about herself. Moreover, she also wanted the emperor's wishes to come true. The girl Zhao Zan perfectly fit her daughter-in-law Requirement: "Besides, there is no solution."
Seeing the panic of the emperor, the queen mother was still soft-hearted. Seeing the hopeful eyes cast by her son, she slowly said the solution she had thought up a long time ago: "The decree has been made, we can't take it back, you can't refuse, then let's change it." One way, you can marry Zhao girl into the palace openly and aboveboard with the title and etiquette of a queen."
Although it's a bit absurd: "Have you ever heard of Jianying? The Ai family gave birth to three children. The eldest son and the second son went away early, and the second son was fine. When he went, he was not yet one year old, but Prince Zhen ( Eldest son) is about to marry a wife, I don’t want him to be desolate, but I want the emperor to have two wives, and marry a wife on behalf of my brother, what do you think?”
The queen mother is very confident, she thinks that doing so will definitely make everyone happy.
A woman cares about her status and expresses her duty, not a playful person, so what about giving her a status!
The emperor's eyes lit up, he felt that this method was feasible, and cast admiring glances at the queen mother, as expected of his own mother, there is a way.
In this case, he only needs to give his elder brother the title of emperor. Even if he marries Zhao Zan, she is the sister-in-law of all the concubines in the harem, and her status is second only to the Queen Mother and him. Even the current Queen Li, in front of her, You also need to perform the junior ceremony, after all, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.
When the decree was issued, His Majesty the Emperor didn't have any aspirations for Zhao Zan, but after seeing the woman in front of him just now, there was an inexplicable ripple in his heart.
Such a woman is the one who is qualified to stand with him!
The emperor had already thrown away all the previous arrangements for the imperial concubine, and fantasized in his mind that he would open up a palace for the empress alone for Zhao Zan.
Xu Cheng and Zhao Zan were stunned, and couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while!
They didn't expect that the royal family turned out to be such thick-skinned and shameless people!
Marry a daughter-in-law on behalf of a brother, and have two husbands at the same time.
Ordinary people's families, after encountering wars, have to do what they have to do, but this is the orthodox royal family in the world!
There are not a hundred or dozens of people in the royal family who are suitable for adoption, and they can still think of such a wonderful method.
How are your brains?
This kind of thing, dare to think and do it!
Xu Cheng and Zhao Zan could already imagine what those pedantic and jealous courtiers would think of the Xu family.
The old lady's reaction was the most direct, she tapped the faucet stick without even thinking about it, and refused: "No! Nothing is allowed! My Zanwa and Xiaohedi are absolutely not allowed! There is no room for negotiation!"
It's just a good reputation. The nature of three wives and four concubines has not changed at all. In Lin Lan's view, it is disgusting. She can't control other people, but she will never allow her to watch them grow up. The baby will suffer from these.
The queen mother who thought she was safe was also a little helpless, and coaxed: "Old lady, why not, with me here, don't worry that someone will bully your hairpin girl! I can make a promise that the next emperor of the Dali will definitely only It will come from the hairpin girl."
Normal people, hearing such a big temptation, will definitely be very excited.
After all, the royal family has already given this kind of verbal promise, and becoming a relative of the royal family is the fastest way to reach the sky in one step!
The old lady still shook her head and refused: "Not suitable, daughter-in-law of Emperor Xing, I don't understand what you are saying, and I also know that you like hairpin girls, but it is still not suitable. I know old lady, a man and a woman, even if there are Fighting is all about fighting at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, but when there is a third woman on the bed, and one of them is a girl from our Xu family, there is only one ending!"
The queen mother was stunned, obviously not keeping up with the old lady's train of thought, and asked foolishly, "What's the ending?"
The old lady didn't hide anything, and said righteously: "After the Xu family girl gave birth, the other two people on the bed will change positions, from the bed to the coffin, and buried in the soil!"
In this world, what use is this kind of scumbag other than to give birth to babies and provide sperm?
After using it, of course it's all done!
The above are Lin Lan's truest thoughts. (It's so scary...)
Please don't doubt the nature of women to maintain sovereignty.
If it was an era of legal civilization, there would still be a divorce, but in the ancient era when men were superior to women, being a widow was the best choice.
Queen Mother: …
His Majesty the Emperor: ...
No, old lady, your words are a little scary.
Can we continue to have a good chat today?
Xu Cheng coughed uncomfortably.
Zhao Zhan lowered her head "shyly".
With her childhood experience, and now being opened up to a new world by the old lady, she agrees very much!
The old lady didn't feel embarrassed, but she was very righteous: "Do you think that when I was old, why did I go to bring back our two little girls? Now is not when I was young, there are bandits and robbers everywhere. It's normal for a lot of people to die from time to time and bury them anywhere. The Zhao family is not an ordinary family. You can't watch Shan girl make such a mistake!"
"Some things, no matter how secretive they are, there will always be a risk of being exposed. It's not worth it to dirty your hands and bear the condemnation of your conscience. Shan girl is not without someone at home, so why do stupid things, right? ?”
Lin Lan swears that she made it up on the spur of the moment. At first she really just wanted to make a fuss, but now it's such a time. In order not to let that well-behaved and sensible Zhao Zan girl fall into the fire pit, she can only go to the serious edited.
However, the Queen Mother and His Majesty the Emperor really believed it.
The queen mother believed that it was because Xu Shan was doing well in a small overseas country now.
The emperor believed it because Xu Shan really gave him a lot of private goods before leaving.
Thinking about it now, if the old lady hadn't made a fuss, relying on the evidence, manpower and material resources in her hands, she would have killed the Zhao family silently, and no one would have known that she did it.
Substituting himself into the position of Zhao's family for no reason, His Majesty's enthusiasm for looking at Zhao Zan dissipated a lot, and a chill came from his waist and tail.
How could he have forgotten that the three obediences and four virtues were never in the scope of the Xu family's teaching.
How could Zhao Zan do such a terrible and stupid thing just by looking at his superficial image.
"Even so, are you still willing to marry my hairpin girl?"
The emperor's face was livid, and he didn't dare to hold on.
The Empress Dowager's complexion also improved.
She really wanted to say, marry, but when she thought of her son's urination, she retreated.
She really didn't think that her son could make this girl from the Xu family willingly give up everything for him. From a mother's point of view, she certainly felt that it was fine for her son to be playful, but if she married Zhao Zan, it would become a fatal problem.
Old lady: I know. In this way, if you are still willing, it means true love.
The thoughts in her heart were different from what she expressed, and the old lady still persuaded her conscientiously: "Xingdi's daughter-in-law, Xiaohe Emperor, I can't tell you, old lady, if you abandon all the wives in your family and marry my girl, whose family is it?" A baby is not a treasure? Since you want to own a family, you should be responsible for the education, and teach your children before others, and teach your wife after others, otherwise the family will be absolutely messy and prosperous. There are benefits to having more people. Tougher."
After the lecture is over, it is necessary to sell it appropriately.
The old lady looked straight at the queen mother and asked: "Xingdi's daughter-in-law, Emperor Xiaohe, tell me, compare your heart with your heart and ask yourself, if you have a daughter, would you want her to marry a husband like Emperor Xiaohe?" ?”
The two were immediately taken away.
Just thinking about it made the queen mother look dangerous: I will tear up the person who dares to covet my daughter.
And His Majesty the Emperor is also very upset: I will cut that bastard...
Queen Mother & Emperor: Suddenly I feel like a scumbag!
I only heard the old lady continue to say: "Anyway, no matter what, our family doesn't want it. Our children are our heart and soul, and I don't want them to suffer even a little grievance!"
"But at my age, how long can I take care of them? Therefore, I feel that there is nothing better than my own ability to protect my family and myself. I am an old lady who came from troubled times. If it wasn't for my father to worry about , I didn't even intend to get married, but I didn't expect to meet that dead old man, the old man has no fancy, and we just survived for the rest of our lives like this!"
Queen Mother and His Majesty the Emperor: ...
Why listen to what you said, old lady, if Mr. Xu Baguo did something sorry for you back then, you would also kill your husband?
The old lady didn't seem to see the eyes of the two, and continued to say: "I know, we are different from that time now. There is no shortage of good clothes and fabrics, and there is too much land to plow. I am no longer afraid of losing money." They are starving for food, but some things cannot be changed! Their great-grandfathers and grandfathers were all people who refused to admit love, and in their generation, they can't admit love either!"
Therefore, no matter what the children want to learn, she hires famous teachers for them to teach them what they want to learn.
"We don't cause trouble, and we are not afraid of trouble. Those who dare to provoke us should sneak attack or feed poison. They must be treated like weeds in the field. After they are set on fire, they must be hoeed vigorously with palladium to loosen the ground and fight for it." All the tenacious grass roots that were buried in the ground and will be revived in spring have all been uprooted!"
Lin Lan, who was in a hurry, actually didn't know what she said, but she was very satisfied that the faces of the two people who tried to trick her daughter turned pale.
Queen Mother: …
His Majesty the Emperor: ...
What do you think, we are being threatened.
It's good if it works: "So, as long as the children don't want to marry us, we never force them."
The old lady (Lin Lan) was also very sad when she complained here: "Old lady, the children I brought up, as long as they think, they are willing, what are they willing to teach them, we don't understand, and we can still hire a teacher!"
You can't lose your children's education if you lose anything!
"Daughter-in-law of Emperor Xing, you may think that it is too wasteful for me to spend a lot of money to arrange too many people to educate the children! But in my opinion, the old lady, everything I do is to hope that in the future, they will not be affected by their own mistakes. Incompetent and disadvantaged. As an old lady, I always tell my great-granddaughter that in the future, if you encounter something related to your own interests, you should first save your own life."
"And when you have confidence and strength, when you want to fight for benefits, you can't back down no matter what. You must not be robbed of your things!"
"Old lady, I have followed the idea all my life that the field animals at home... and men cannot be shared and transferred! You must hold it tightly in your hand and use it well! Anyone who moves will hit him (be beaten) The premise)!"
It can't be solved, just kill it directly.
The old lady felt that she looked very pure and simple at this time: "So, Emperor Xing's daughter-in-law, Emperor Xiaohe, it's not that the old lady is reluctant to part with her granddaughter, but that our granddaughter has been educated too well by me. It may be suitable for your family! This is not a marriage, but a feud. With the relationship between our family, the old lady, I can’t do this kind of thing that cheats your family! The old lady was angry just now, and I did it immediately. It’s the old lady I was wrong!"
It is said that whoever you marry, you will cheat on whoever you marry Zhao Zan: ...
The emperor who was almost cheated: ...
Now that I've finished talking about myself, I'm going to talk about their family: "However, I don't blame my old lady, Xingdi's daughter-in-law. Although I don't know many things, old lady, there is one thing that I still know. I want to marry someone else. Daughter, the two families will definitely talk first, why did you do this?"
Tang Lin Lan was very upset with his determined and aura-inducing attitude.
"Besides, Emperor Xiaohe, your family has a lot of food, and you like to raise more wives. My old lady has no position to control, but there are so many wives, it's really troublesome! Human beings are made of flesh, and husband and wife get along with each other. If you continue to In this way, your mother-in-law may run away before giving birth to you! If your reputation is bad, it will be difficult for you to marry a daughter-in-law again."
His Majesty the Emperor: ...
No, except for the Xu family, the daughters of other families would be very willing to marry me.
"I'm not an old lady, I'm boasting. If you marry my hairpin girls, your mother-in-laws will definitely not be the opponents of the hairpin girls."
High culture, high appearance, high force, we are talking about the hairpin girl. No matter what it is, the hairpin girl is far better than ordinary people. After entering the harem, it is impossible for others to survive: "Emperor Xiaohe, do you still want to marry me?" Marry a hairpin baby?"
In no mood!
But what can be done?
This is an imperial decree that has already been promulgated. Even as His Majesty the Emperor, he dare not and cannot take it back!
Don't underestimate an imperial decree, but his execution strength represents the face of the royal family and the credibility of the country. If he easily let go of the old lady (Lin Lan) and the Xu family who are not ready to accept the decree, the price will be too high.
Zhao Zan's objection and the old lady's words (nonsense, probably), made His Majesty the Emperor flinch.The only ambiguity and beauty left for Zhao Zan turned into horror and hate.
At the same time, I was speechless about the sincerity of the Xu family.
You just despise me openly like this, and say that if your daughter marries me, you will directly kill me, is that really okay?
However, this incident just happened like this, and His Majesty the emperor also knew that he was fully responsible for his arrogance and recklessness.
He was thinking hard about how to abolish this imperial decree while maintaining his reputation.
Who should I ask to take the blame?
Prime Minister Zhao: Ah Chi!
Why did it suddenly blow up?
