Natural Born Winner: 57. Princess Wanan

The eldest grandson, Zhou Mingli, is the candidate for the head of the family, so he got married early and sent him to other places to practice.

Mingjia is his youngest grandson, and he has always been his favorite. This year, he was eighteen, because he was ordered by an eminent monk when he was young, that it is not appropriate to talk about marriage early, so he has never been engaged. However, his mother, Yang Shi, had already decided on a daughter-in-law candidate, that is, because her parents died early, her daughter-in-law and niece, Yang Siwei, had lived in the Zhou family for many years.

It is true that the two did not have a marriage contract, but because after the death of both Yang's elder brother and his wife, his eldest daughter-in-law, Yang, was worried that her step-niece would have no one to rely on and be bullied by the clan, so she took her to the family, raised her personally and even deliberately let her marry To the youngest son Zhou Mingjia.

Old man Zhou Ge seldom cares about the inner house, let alone the eldest son's inner house. Although he loves Ming Jia, but seeing that Ming Jia knows his mother's thoughts, he also has such a childhood friendship for the cousin girl of the Yang family, and he does not show this. The rejection of the marriage did not intervene too much.

Furthermore, Mrs. Zhou was on the sidelines to persuade her that when old women get older, they love marriage, not to mention that Ming Jia and Wei Er are still a pair of golden boys and girls who grew up in front of her. I was full of joy watching it, I was not happy to see them as a couple.

Zhou Ge followed his wife's wishes and acquiesced that Yang's cousin girl is the future granddaughter-in-law.

Because of this, although Miss Biao's family is in decline, with the support of the old lady and Mrs. Li, the servants dare not say anything, and even serve Miss Biao more wholeheartedly than the daughter of his own family. The future second young lady's status is much more noble than theirs.

Who knew, there would be such a thing, if he had known today, Mr. Zhou Ge would have engaged Ming Jia and Wei'er first.

…

After Yang Shi heard the news that her father-in-law brought back from the palace, she also began to complain about her father-in-law. If he hadn't suppressed Ming Jia and didn't talk about marriage before being admitted to Jinshi, why would her niece Wei'er delay until now? , What is the order of the eminent monk, it is just talking.

"Wei'er was the one I watched growing up, and she is the only blood of my own sister. I have no face to see my sister after I die. You should persuade your father-in-law to return to His Majesty." Yang Shi

And if Wei'er is sent away for the sake of the princess, what kind of good family can there be?

"Woman, what do you know?" Zhou Yan, the eldest son of Zhou Ge, put on a straight face, cupped his hands and said, "This is the emperor's grace, how can you say no."

Zhou Yan has engraved in his bones the idea that the king is the guide for the ministers. In his opinion, there is nothing to think about in this matter. Naturally, they will do what the emperor says. Even if the princess marries, they are also kings. Be respectful and respectful.

So he didn't know why his father was worried.

Ms. Yang was extremely displeased. She knew that her master was an elm-brained man, but she never expected that he would be so pedantic and stubborn in this kind of matter. For his loyalty to the emperor, he could even give away his son if the emperor said a word.

But Yang can't, she can't ignore her poor niece. In her opinion, Wei'er is good here and anywhere, and there is nothing wrong with it. She doesn't have a biological daughter, and she loves Yang Siwei as a daughter. She is also the only Mingjia daughter-in-law she recognizes. What kind of princess and princess can't compare to her. Her Will.

Old man Zhou Ge is also talking here,

"My lord, I really can't go back to Your Majesty." Mrs. Zhou looked at Mr. Zhou Ge sighing and worried, and asked.

"Hey, you should be so easy to come back." Elder Zhou Ge glanced at his wife helplessly. If they don't speak, those people dare not talk about marriage, not to mention his grandson Ming Jia was personally hinted by His Majesty.

Although His Majesty has always been lenient, he is the Son of Heaven after all. The government and the public all praised him for his achievements in farming before. When he was full of ambition, he asked about Princess Luohe's marriage, just for the icing on the cake.

How can he return? Does it mean that there is already a good candidate in the family? Isn't that telling His Majesty that Princess Luohe is not as good as the girl they chose.

"My lord, the second young master has arrived." A servant reported.

Zhou Ge thought for a moment, and said, "Let him enter the study with me."

Mrs. Zhou knew that Zhou Ge always wanted to talk to her grandson Zhou Mingjia alone, so she didn't follow up and just sighed.

A young man dressed in a navy blue brocade robe, with a handsome face like jade, has a gentle and gentle temperament like uncut jade, and his gestures are calm and elegant.

Zhou Mingjia bowed and saluted, with a gentle and friendly smile on the corner of his mouth, "grandfather"

Seeing his young grandson Zhou Mingjia, Elder Zhou Ge's complexion softened a lot. The emperor intends to accept him as his son-in-law, and Elder Zhou Ge does not intend to hide it from him. Mingjia will be eighteen this year, and next spring You also have to take the exam, and when everything goes well, you will be an official in the court. You are not a child who has everything taken care of by others.

He has to think about some things, make decisions, and distinguish between pros and cons, so as not to regret it later.

After Zhou Mingjia finished listening, he was slightly stunned. No matter how outstanding he is, he has the reputation of Mr. Zhilan in the capital, but he is just a young man who has not set foot in the court or visited Tianwei in person.

Zhou Mingjia thought about it carefully for a while, and it might be a great thing for others, but if it happened to him, if he was a little careless, it would become a disaster for the whole family.

The more he thought about it, he couldn't help sweating slightly on his forehead, and Elder Zhou Ge held a cup of tea, quietly watching his valued young grandson sink into deep thought.

Finally, Zhou Mingjia was heavy but somewhat relieved and said, "Mingjia's qualifications are mediocre, not good enough to match the princess, so it's better to refuse His Majesty this matter."

Old Zhou Ge nodded slightly.

***

Zhao Jin really didn't know that there was such a thing in the Zhou family. He didn't have any special hobbies or suspicious temperament, so he didn't have so much time to find out the gossip in the courtier's private house.

Furthermore, Zhao Jin felt that what he had told Mr. Zhou Ge was clear enough. All he cared about was whether the Zhou family and Zhou Mingjia's appearance and talent were worthy of Luohe. Or childhood sweethearts, concubines, these children from aristocratic families are inevitable, and Zhao Jin doesn't care.

As long as the Zhou family knows that he intends to accept Zhou Mingjia as his son-in-law, they will take care of all these things, and then make good preparations to marry the princess.

This is also Zhao Jin's habit as a man of this era or the emperor. For them, the best thing to give a woman is fame, wealth and honor.

Zhao Jin is not worried that the Zhou family dares to bully the emperor. He knows exactly who Zhou Ge is, and he will not be ignorant. As the emperor, no matter how good-tempered Zhao Jin is, he will never forgive him lightly. this matter.

Thinking of the good marriage arranged for Luohe, Zhao Jin is satisfied, and even walks much more briskly and joyfully,

Since Elder Zhou Ge hadn't replied yet, and Zhao Jin cared about Luohe's reputation, so he didn't tell Luohe about his candidate for son-in-law, but the queen knew about it.

Like Zhao Jin, the queen is also very satisfied with Zhou Mingjia, the grandson of Zhou Ge's old man.

Zhao Xin who was obviously being teased: "..."

Turning his head and continuing to play chess with the little prince, his fair and tender face somewhat similar to Zhao Jin's was serious, his eyes fixed on the chessboard, as if every step was a major decision in life.

When he finally showed a hint of joy that he was about to win the chess pieces, there was a 'snap', and all his chess pieces died.

Zhao Xin looked at the little prince, Zhao Lan, and said softly, "Did you see anything?"

The little prince recalled the teachings of his father and the master of Shangshufang, carefully looked at the chessboard, why did he lose in the chess, raised his eyes, his eyes were black and bright, and said seriously, "The imaginary is the real, the real is the imaginary. "

Zhao Xin said calmly, "No, I'm just kidding you."

Zhao Lan: "..."

When Zhao Jin came to the queen's palace at noon, the prince Zhao Lan hugged his thigh and was so angry that he didn't speak.

Aunt Luohe always bullies him and only asks him to play chess.

Zhao Lan always thought that Aunt Luohe asked him to play chess because her level was only better than him. She thought that one day her chess skills would improve and she would beat Aunt Luohe. Just for fun.

When it comes to playing chess, even his father Zhao Jin can't beat her.

***

Couldn't persuade her master and was worried, Mrs. Yang simply called her niece Yang Siwei to discuss a solution together. She had long regarded Yang Siwei as her daughter-in-law, so she naturally felt that they were on one side.

The emperor intends to marry the princess to his cousin? Yang Siwei was so shocked that she didn't even listen to what Yang said later.

Seeing Yang Siwei who came back looking devastated, the maid in the room asked worriedly, "Miss, what's the matter?"

Yang Siwei didn't speak, she lowered her eyes, but the eyelashes like butterfly wings were wetted by crystal tears, her beautiful face was as white as paper, panicked and weak.

The maid hurriedly said, "But someone has bullied the young lady. I will tell the madam right away, and let the madam decide for the young lady."

Whether someone bullied the young lady's weak family, or teased her behind her back to make the young lady unhappy, hmph, if she dared to make the young lady sad, she must report to the madam and ask the madam to teach them a severe lesson. The maid knew who she would be without even thinking about it, but she was just a concubine, how could she be compared with the madam's own niece.

Yang Siwei held back the maid who was about to go out, and said softly, "It's useless to tell my aunt."

Compared to the royal princess, she is just a little orphan, no matter whether it is her aunt or the Zhou family, how could she stand up for her.

When the cousin and the princess get married, what should she do as an orphan,

The cousin was supposed to be her husband-in-law, the princess had a golden branch and a jade leaf, and enjoyed all the glory and wealth, so why bother to fight her.

Thinking of his cousin Zhou Mingjia's handsome and elegant, as beautiful as Zhilan and jade, full of talent, Yang Siwei showed a trace of resignation in her grievance.
