Now the court is on the right track.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, more than three fires have been lit. Almost all the wealthy families involved in the Two Kings Rebellion have been liquidated. There are various signs that this new emperor who likes farmland is not as easy to talk to as the previous emperor.
Zhao Zongquan had no good impression of these moth-like princely families in Bianjing City.
Fengguo Gongfu, Yuanzhong Houfu, Earl Wenyi's Mansion...
The new emperor regarded Bianjing City as his new large farmland. As the largest farmer, he was naturally very unhappy when he saw these borers crawling around in his fertile land, so he simply started a fire first.
The Duke of Qi's mansion was peaceful at this time, and Princess Pingning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Strictly speaking, her family was involved in the Bianjing Rebellion before, and she was a supporting role in it.
Fortunately, my family can still maintain stability in Bianjing City.
Only after going through some ups and downs can you realize that a stable life is very hard-won.
And under such circumstances, the eldest lady's natal Wang family and her family embarked on the road to Beijing. The eldest lady has become more confident at home recently. On the one hand, the Sheng family's status in Bianjing City is now extraordinary, and she can Just put on a good show in front of your parents’ door.
On the other hand, with the support of her mother's family, the eldest lady felt that the old lady and the master had different attitudes towards her.
It's a pity that neither Lu Ze nor the old lady took the Wang family's entry into Beijing as a big deal.
During this period, Lu Ze officially redeemed Wei Ruozhu.
He bought a huge mountain pavilion on the outskirts of Beijing. In modern times, it is still relatively common to keep an outside house hidden, but Lu Ze doesn't have any psychological burden.
Lu Ze remembered Uncle Liu Huang's famous saying very clearly in his heart.
I've been fighting for so many years, can't I enjoy it?
The old lady in Shou'an Hall would often hint Lu Ze not to go to places like Guangyuntai, but now the old lady is a little embarrassed to say anything more, but secretly advises Lu Ze to act more safely.
...
As the new year is approaching, the Sheng family welcomes a visit from the Wang family.
The smile on the eldest lady's face never stopped. After entering the door, she supported the old lady of the Wang family. The old lady of the Wang family was a short old woman. When she smiled, her eyes narrowed and she looked kind-hearted.
When Mrs. Sheng saw her mother-in-law, she couldn't help but smile a little more.
Wang Ruofu asked, "Mother, when will my brother come?"
"Your brother still has some matters at hand that need to be handed over before he can enter the capital. I really couldn't stay any longer, so I came to Bianjing first." Mrs. Wang explained to everyone with a smile, and then faced Mr. Sheng who was sitting next to her. The wife said with a sincere smile, "Sister, we haven't seen each other for so many years."
Mrs. Sheng said with great emotion: "Yes."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious.
Today, Ming Lan and Mo Lan also returned to their parents' home, and Ru Lan sat between them, feeling like a little kid and feeling uncomfortable all over her body.
During this period of time, Rulan had forgotten about her respectful brother and stayed at home quietly, thinking about what her future husband would be like.
Wang Ruofu's sister Kang naturally followed her husband and son to the Sheng family. The womanly Kang Wang talked to everyone with a smile and seemed to be easy to get along with.
The protagonist of the topic naturally started talking about Lu Ze.
Looking at Lu Ze, Mrs. Wang's face wrinkled and the smile on her face became more sincere.
"Xian son-in-law, I knew you were a promising person."
"Recently...have you been promoted again?"
Lu Ze nodded, smiled slightly, and replied: "It's all the officials who value me and entrust me with important tasks."
People in the Sheng family were accustomed to Lu Zeyun's calm words, but the Wang family, who had just arrived,
A group of people showed some slight uncertainty. Mrs. Wang only felt that the virtuous son-in-law's temperament now was like a different person compared with that of back then.
Even taking half a step forward, he could be equal to the eldest lady's father who was worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and now the holy scroll of this virtuous son-in-law was even stronger.
The sons of the Sheng family are promising, and the daughters are marrying well.
The Wang Sheng family suddenly turned upside down.
Mrs. Wang then gave Lu Ze a few words of encouragement. Kang's face next to Mrs. Wang did not change. She just glanced at her husband pretending to be indifferent, but her fists under the table were clenched tightly.
When Sheng Hong went to the Wang family to propose marriage, her sister was naturally chosen first.
It's just that she didn't look down on this poor scholar whose ancestors were merchants at all, and she never thought that her sister would get such a huge advantage.
Kang was filled with resentment and felt that God was working against her and everything was not going as she wished.
There is a saying that is very good.
Although my own failure is sad, my sister's success is even more heart-wrenching.
"Ru'er isn't married to anyone yet, is she?"
"Do you need your aunt to help you choose? Although the children of the Youyang Li family are not bad, they are not related to your status as the legitimate daughter of the Sheng family. Look at the family of your sister and sister Xu. A wife A master's residence, a prince's residence, you..."
At this time, Aunt Kang unconsciously began to find a sense of presence.
Wang Ruofu's face turned ugly for a moment, and Mrs. Wang glanced at her eldest daughter very displeased.
[In view of the general environment,
Lu Ze looked normal.
Lu Ze originally thought about letting Lin Sushuang come out to fight with this Aunt Kang, but now this idea has disappeared. Lu Ze has no idea of taking a second look at such a trashy Auntie. .
We are not all on the same level.
"Ru'er."
"It seems that your aunt is not satisfied with the marriage my family has arranged for you."
Lu Ze said with a smile, and the dining table became extremely quiet for an instant.
Mrs. Sheng secretly glanced at Lu Ze at this time. She disliked the eldest lady's sister the most, but she didn't expect that his son would take the initiative to pick up the conversation at this time, without saving any face for the Wang family.
--boom!
Mrs. Wang immediately slapped the table and stood up!
The voice was full of anger.
"Your niece's marriage will be decided by your sister, brother-in-law and the old lady of the Sheng family. When will it be your turn as an aunt to come here and make irresponsible remarks? If you can eat well, eat it. If you can't eat it, get out of here!"
Kang's face became extremely pale.
Because she didn't expect that her mother, who loved her very much, would say such words in public.
Embarrassment, shame, resentment, self-pity...
Mrs. Wang turned around and smiled at Lu Ze and the old lady: "I'll make you laugh, sister. My eldest daughter has always had a bad temper, so please don't blame her."
"Xian son-in-law, what do you think?"
Lu Ze suddenly laughed.
"Why did my mother-in-law say this?"
"It was just a casual joke."
As soon as Lu Ze said these words.
Mr. Kang wished he could faint in anger.
I'm a joke if I co-authored it?
