Natural Born Winner: 61. Princess Wanan

The marriage of Zhou Ge's old concubine and young grandson, Zhou Mingjia, has broken the hearts of many ladies and daughters in the capital. They also envy the cousin who has lived in the Zhou family for many years. There is no lack of jealousy. How could such a good marriage fall on her.

On the day of the wedding, as Zhou Mingjia's biological mother, Mrs. Yang also lifted the ban, and was blessed to enjoy the couple's kneeling and tea. Knowing that the second sister-in-law Wu's wholeheartedly arranged for Wei'er and Ming Jia's marriage, she had a rare impression of Wu's, and she was also proud of the status of her youngest son, Ming Jia, in Zhou's mansion, and won the title of Zhou, the master of the mansion. The elder Ge attached great importance to it, and the housekeeper right was only given to Wu Shi for two days. Ming Jia was married, so the old lady would naturally speak to give her the housekeeper right.

Seeing the complacency in Yang's eyes in the seat, Mrs. Wu couldn't help but twitched her mouth in private. Her sister-in-law was imprisoned for nearly half a month, and her mind still didn't improve much after she came out.

Although Mrs. Wu doesn't like her sister-in-law very much, she used to feel sour towards the big house occasionally. After Zhou Mingjia's marriage, that sourness completely disappeared.

In other words, seeing that Da Fang missed the best opportunity and didn't even have time to sympathize, how could he still be envious and jealous.

But she has heard from her husband that Mingli's child is working hard as an official outside, but in the end, being dragged down by his stupid mother, his achievements for three years are equivalent to nothing. Zhou Mian was still sighing, his father had already paved the way for the eldest grandson of the Zhou family to enter the court and become an official after returning to Beijing, but now all his hard work has been wasted.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu also felt that these two children were really unlucky, and she would no longer force her son to learn from Ming Jia and Ming Li, so that he could get ahead. As long as you don't cause trouble for your son, it's nothing better than anything.

Ming Ke and Ming Shou of the second room were still wondering why their mother didn't remind them every day, and urged them to learn to forbid them to go out to play.

When the concubines of the big house saw this grand wedding ceremony, they couldn't help but feel envious in their eyes. Although Miss Yang's family was in trouble, her parents died, but there was a big lady who worked **** the marriage for her, and even the dowry was big. From the wife, although they are the serious ladies of the Zhou family, they are not liked by the aunt. In the future, they may not marry better than Miss Yang, and the dowry will be more than her.

The eldest grandson of the Zhou family is also Zhou Mingjia's elder brother, Zhou Mingli, because he was still in Ningzhou and could not come back to see his younger brother get married, the couple had time to prepare a heavy gift and send it back to the Zhou family.

Elder Zhou Ge has been in the court for many years, so he has a lot of friends. Even the two elders who only have face and affection sent people to send congratulatory gifts, but they did not come in person. They are the most sophisticated old foxes in the court. Well, it can't be seen that His Majesty has become cold towards the Zhou family these days.

When Zhou Mingli, the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, got married, although His Majesty had just ascended the throne and was busy with government affairs, he personally wrote a letter of "Happy Love for a Hundred Years" and sent it to the Zhou family, showing his closeness and consideration. This time, His Majesty didn't even ask, most of them were people who followed suit and only sent gifts but didn't attend the wedding banquet.

Old Zhou Ge looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything.

The people in the third house have other thoughts. Both the first house and the second house are descendants of the concubine, but the third house is the son of a concubine. They have the lowest status among the three branches of the Zhou family and are easily overlooked, but they also value the most profit. Once the password is banned, no one is allowed to mention it, but the more you can't say it, the more you hide it in your heart.

What's more, one month ago, Princess Luohe practiced Taoism at Qingyuan Temple to pray for blessings, and His Majesty rewarded and sacrificed to the heavens, how grand and grand. The ceremonial treasures sent to Sanshan can't be compared with dozens of carts of red makeup in this area.

This is because Zhao Jin and the queen know that Zhao Xin intends to stay at Qingyuanguan for at least three years. It attracted criticism and coveted by others, and it was even more impossible for Luo He to be roasted on the fire.

Zhao Jin and the queen simply made a big scene for Luohe, confirming that she is the most favored imperial sister today, the princess of Luohe.

The entire capital was shocked by the endless stream of things sent in those days. It was almost the capital of the palace to rebuild a gold-made Qingyuan Temple for Princess Luohe.

Although with the passage of time, the people in the capital and the nobles have gradually forgotten, but many people in the Zhou family are inexplicable. The Zhou family has been thriving for generations, the family has a great business, and there are many people in it. There are more like Sanfang. After seeing the wealth and splendor of the royal family, they look down on Yang Siwei even more. There is a lot of resentment behind them, thinking that it is Yang Siwei who prevents them from enjoying these honors.

If Zhou Mingjia married a princess, as members of the same clan, even if they went out to bear the name of the princess, they would be able to do a little bit badly.

Even the women in the clan don't like Yang Siwei. What they care about is that the princess's marriage can elevate the family status of the Zhou family. .

All of these were destroyed by Zhou Yangshi and Yang Siwei.

After all, Zhou Yang was the head wife of the Zhou family in the past, the eldest son and daughter-in-law, and did not dare to offend easily, but Yang Siwei, whose natal family was weak, was also a newly married daughter-in-law. No matter how outstanding her husband Zhou Mingjia was, gossiping in the inner house was enough for her to bear.

Of course, they didn't dare to speak out about it, after all, the elder Ge had issued strict orders. But whether it is picking on Yang Siwei's weakness and slenderness, overcoming his father and overcoming his mother, having a poor family background, being unworthy of being a big wife, and being worthy of Zhou Mingjia, there are many things to talk about.

After a long time, rumors of Yang Siwei's meanness and meanness spread among the people in the Zhou mansion. This is half true and half false, and someone is secretly promoting it. Yang Siwei is not very good at managing servants. In the past, her aunt always made decisions for her. When she sighed or shed a tear, Madam Zhou dealt with her servants who were not dedicated to her.

This time, Mrs. Yang also lost her temper because of the rumors, and went to find the second wife, Mrs. Wu, who was in charge of the family, and accused her of lax family management both openly and secretly. Wu sneered again and again, Yang Siwei and Zhou Mingjia were already married, she still had to care about them, Yang Siwei was Yang's daughter-in-law, not hers, why should she bother to help Yang Siwei maintain her reputation.

In the past, the old master and madam protected her by default, because Yang Siwei was a guest, a sojourner cousin, Zhou Ge always cared about the reputation of the whole family, and didn't want others to say that the Zhou family bullied weak girls. But now Yang Siwei is Zhou Mingjia's wife, the granddaughter-in-law of the Zhou family, and half of her bad reputation is because she has no ability to suppress her servants and let them spread it.

As an elder, she doesn't want to get her hands dirty for a niece and daughter-in-law, Wu sneered.

Mr. Wu has no good looks towards her elder sister-in-law Yang and Yang Siwei, and she has to say that within a few days after Yang Siwei married in, Yang came to ask for housekeeping rights. The old lady didn't give it to her, so she asked Yang Siwei to come Head the house and take charge of Zhongfei.

Yang's family is also very righteous. Her husband is the eldest son. After Zhou Ge has been old for a hundred years, at least 60% of the family property will belong to their eldest son. His wife stayed with him in Ningzhou again, but Wei'er is also the wife of the big family, so she has more reason to be the Zhou family's home than Wu's, and with her by her side, Wei'er can't make any mistakes.

She was thinking well, of course it couldn't be done with Mrs. Zhou around, but Mrs. Wu hated Mrs. Yang and Yang Siwei, so don't expect her to help their uncle and nephew.

Mr. Yang was angered by Mrs. Wu, and even though she helped deal with some servants when she went back, she couldn't control the servants in other courtyards.

Yang Siwei is sensitive and thoughtful, and because of her family's decline, she is especially concerned about other people's opinions, and always feels that others look down on her.

No matter how nice the Zhou family was to her, it was nothing more than charity. Except for her aunt who would sincerely plan for her, and her cousin who was so kind, no one else was secretly pitying her.

But the Zhou family is used to the good life, she doesn't want to leave at all, and she can't find a better husband than her cousin. With the name of the Zhou family, she can marry very well.

And she is just an orphan.

So even if she meets the princess and takes advantage of her aunt, she must firmly grasp this good marriage.

But even if she became the second young wife of the Zhou family, Yang Siwei did not change from her previous status as a cousin. Hearing other people's gossip, she felt that she couldn't refute it, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

When Zhou Mingjia came back from the poetry meeting, he saw his crying wife in the wing room, and the maid Yan Er who she had brought with her since she was a child added some embellishments to what the wife of the third room said again during the day, hoping that the uncle would be able to To teach the people in the third room.

Zhou Mingjia sighed helplessly in his heart. If he really ran over to vent his anger on his wife, it would be reported tomorrow that he and Wei'er disrespected the elders and were ignorant of filial piety. nonsense.

But after all, she is the cousin of childhood sweetheart, Zhou Mingjia sat down beside the bed, comforted his wife and said, "Let others say what they say, even Your Majesty, can't seal the mouth of the world, what can we do?" What about."

Since he became famous at a young age, there have been jealous gossips from others around him, saying that if he was not born in the Zhou family and the grandson of Zhou Ge's old son, how could he be so successful and famous in the capital.

If he cares about these remarks in everything, and cares about those villains, how can he have time to learn self-cultivation.

And he only needs to be self-righteous, so why should he be afraid of what others say.

Zhou Mingjia's original intention was to comfort his wife, don't care about irrelevant people's words, disturbing his mood and tossing himself. In the end, he is the one who suffers.

I don't want Yang Siwei to hear his words, not only was she not comforted, but she even thought about it more.

She felt bad about other people's behind-the-scenes comments, and couldn't bear it. Even her cousin persuaded her to bear it.

Yang Siwei looked at Zhou Mingjia, and said sadly in her eyes, "It would be great if you married Princess Luohe that day."

Zhou Mingjia turned pale with shock when he heard the words, and immediately covered his wife's mouth, his voice changed from gentle and amiable to stern, "You can't say that again."

Hearing what the Second Young Madam said, besides Zhou Mingjia and his personal maid Yan'er, there were also two maids in the room and at the door.

Although Zhou Mingjia was young, he was decisive enough. He immediately found a reason for people to silence Yan'er and the two maids, and immediately beat him to death for stealing property from the mansion.

Although he doesn't know whether there is an emperor's person in the Zhou Mansion, once such words are spread by people with intentions or unintentional intentions, it will be a real disaster.

Not many people knew that the emperor intended to betroth Princess Luohe to him that day, the grandfather painstakingly ordered that no one in the Zhou mansion should mention this matter, the real purpose was to appease His Majesty's anger.

Your Majesty loves Princess Luohe, and it is human nature to be angry about this matter, even the Son of Heaven cannot avoid it.

However, if time passes and all the insiders forget about this matter, neither the princess nor His Majesty will suffer any loss. According to Zhou Ge's understanding of the emperor's temperament, it is very likely that he will not care about this matter. Jia has shown enough talent, and His Majesty has no grudges in his heart, so he will naturally reuse him because of his excellence.

Zhou Mingjia is grateful to his grandfather for taking care of him, but he didn't expect that his mother made a mistake first, and now his wife made a slip of the tongue.

How can a royal princess be able to speak nonsense and make fun of her husband and wife in the boudoir, especially Princess Luohe has not yet left the court.

If His Majesty finds out, not only will his future be in jeopardy, but even Zhou Mansion will inevitably be implicated.

Yang Siwei didn't understand, and because of Zhou Mingjia's determination, she even saw Yan'er, her close servant, being beaten to death, and fainted from fright, and cried when she woke up.

Hearing that something happened to his son in the courtyard, his niece Weier fainted again, and Mrs. Yang rushed over immediately.

After knowing the so-called reason, Yang's complexion was not good, and she immediately raised her eyebrows to accuse her son, "Isn't it just that the servants stole two things and just sold them, and Wei'er is the most kind-hearted person." , you actually killed her personal maid in front of her face."

As he spoke, he threw himself on the bedside again, looking at the pale and weak Yang Siwei, and said earnestly, "My poor Wei'er, it's my aunt who made you bully."

Zhou Mingjia didn't know how many times he sighed in his heart, but he couldn't explain the reason to his mother, so he had to let her reprimand him.

But Mr. Zhou Ge and Mrs. Zhou are not stupid, and they also believe in Zhou Mingjia's grandson, knowing that he would not do such a cruel act for no reason.

Besides, this looks more like a silence.

Elder Zhou Ge's heart shuddered, and he asked his eldest son Zhou Yan to take his daughter-in-law Yang Shi down, so that she would not interfere in Ming Jia's house.

Although Zhou Yan didn't understand, he obeyed his father's words. And if his father hadn't said that Yang was the mother of Ming Li and Ming Jia, Zhou Yan would have divorced Yang long ago in order to show his loyalty to the Holy Majesty. After that, he didn't have any good looks and husband and wife friendship with Yang.

After Yang Siwei woke up, after this incident, she didn't dare to talk anymore, even if her aunt and mother-in-law Yang Shi came to visit her, she didn't dare to tell her what happened that day.

The cognition of his cousin Zhou Mingjia has also changed, and he realizes that his husband is not exactly the cousin who speaks like a spring breeze and a gentle gentleman. Yang Siwei didn't dare to let her cousin know that she had been a hindrance to her aunt's offense against Princess Luohe.

Not many people know about it. Princess Luohe doesn't care about the Zhou family. It would be easier without the marriage, so she didn't take what happened that day to heart and spread it out. Yang didn't realize her niece's small thoughts, so she shut her mouth after a few words of persuasion.

Although she felt guilty for Yan'er, who had been with her since she was a child, and those two innocent maids, Yang Siwei was slightly relieved.

But Zhou Mingjia was very disappointed. He knew that his wife's family was in decline and both parents died, but he didn't want to know about this.

Misfortune comes from the mouth, and it is even more taboo for people like them.

And Yang Siwei can't stay at home to embroider and read books all the time, so she should learn the etiquette of a family wife.

Zhou Mingjia directly ignored his mother. If his mother could do well, Yang Siwei would not be what she is now. He knew that his mother had always loved his cousin, fearing that she would be wronged and never let her go to class with the daughter at home, but he didn't expect that he didn't even teach her these things.

Zhou Mingjia hoped that his grandmother would teach his wife well and stop doing such things that caused trouble for the Zhou family.

Yang Siwei doesn't know her cousin's painstaking efforts, she is sensitive and fragile, she just thinks that her cousin thinks she is a small family, no more than a noble girl from a family, these are also in line with the gossip of those three aunts and six wives, it can be seen that Yang Siwei listens to all of them Yes, it wasn't cleared up by Zhou Mingjia at all.

The result was another night of tears.

The next day, she went to the old lady's room softly and red-eyed to say hello, which made the old lady Zhou very unhappy. Mingjia, but more and more weaknesses are revealed everywhere.

Is she not good enough for her grandson Mingjia, Mrs. Zhou sighed in her heart, she just wanted to teach her grandson well and cultivate a grandson-in-law who can do it well.

When Mrs. Yang heard about this, she was extremely dissatisfied, and worried that Wei'er would suffer from the old lady. Although Mrs. Yang has never experienced the hardships of being a daughter-in-law, she has heard a lot about it. She thought Wei'er married Ming Jia and being her daughter-in-law would save her from such hardships, but now she has become an old lady. Listen to the teaching rules in the room.

She intends to seek help from the Elder Master Zhou Yan, but Zhou Yan doesn't care about the affairs of the back house at all, and would rather do his duty in the yamen than go home and listen to her complaints.

Ms. Yang went to find her son Mingjia again, she still complained about her son, and asked Weier to go to the old lady's room to learn the rules, what if the old lady rubbed Weier with her?

Zhou Mingjia only heard a few words, and a serious expression appeared on his handsome and fair face, "Mother is silent, grandmother is kind and kind, and treats younger generations well. Grandmother is willing to teach Weier, that is Weier's. Blessing, mother, don't care about it anymore."

He was angry and helpless, what happened to his mother, he became more and more confused, even his grandmother dared to criticize him.

Seeing his son's words to warn her, he seemed to bow respectfully and leave, and his figure went away, Yang's heart suddenly became cold.
