Mrs. Pin, one of the Red House

"You are the sweet mouth."

Jia's mother was somewhat relieved by Xifeng's reaction. Seeing Xifeng fidgeting, she smiled slightly, and seemed to be a lot more kind. "There is me at home... Lian's daughter-in-law. After all, I am already old." She Said this intentionally, and at the same time secretly looked at Xifeng's expression, "It is rare for a human to live to seventy years old. I just want to enjoy the happiness. This family will eventually be the world of you juniors."

"Old ancestor, what are you talking about?" Xifeng was not nervous or embarrassed, but smiled and said, "Old ancestor is so young, so he just said that he is old." She raised her eyebrows and moved her hand deliberately Stirring the handkerchief, showing his embarrassment and anxiety, "If the ancestors put down the burden, how will we juniors live?"

Xifeng was originally an exquisite character, and she really knew Jia's mother very well in these years after she got married.

As soon as she heard it, she heard what Jiamu said, but it was just to test her. If she succeeded, she would be No.1 in front of Jiamu. If she failed, she was just a granddaughter-in-law. One has to endure one's age in order to succeed in this mansion.

Comparing her heart to her heart, a person who married into Jia's mansion as a great-grandson daughter-in-law and survived for most of her life, swallowed her anger for so many years, and finally became the top person, what is she most afraid of?

— Loss of power.

Now the people in the mansion go around around Jiamu and flatter her. The only reason is that she is an elder, and the character of filial piety is as big as a son. In addition, Jiamu has not delegated power so far, and all big and small things have to be seen in front of her. Which yard, which house, has her eyes and ears inside.

That's why Jia's mother has her current status.

And she is old.

Time is not forgiving, when she is unable to do what she wants, even if she never said it, what she fears the most in her heart is that others will take away the power in her hands.

Xifeng looked at the bright and clean gold brick floor, lowered her eyes, avoiding the scrutiny of Jia's mother.

Jia Mu's expression was unpredictable, and after a while she smiled and said, "You monkey, you really have a clever mouth that can bring dead things to life."

Only then did Xifeng secretly let out a sigh of relief.

This level is over.She approached intimately, rolled up the sleeves of her crimson beige, and gently rubbed Jia Mu's temples, "Old Ancestor, what do you say about this matter?"

"Even if Mrs. Xing doesn't make progress, she can tell that I am dissatisfied inside and outside the words. Naturally, she will not agree to this marriage." Jia Mu narrowed her eyes and twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand, "However, since the Cui family proposed They took the initiative to post this marriage, so it’s a waste if it’s unnecessary; if we can take advantage of this matter, it will be of great benefit to Lian’er’s husband and our family.”

Xifeng paused, "The old ancestor has a candidate in mind?"

"Yingyatou is a wooden person. No one reminds me. I really can't take a step. I can't be a big person." Jia Mu put the Buddhist beads by her side, "I thought that Tanyatou is an excellent person. She is also transparent and more She is a sensible person, as long as you mention a few words to her, she should know what to do."

Xifeng felt a little uneasy about Jia Mu's decision, but she dared not speak out.

She felt that Tanchun might not be the kind of person who could be manipulated by Jia Mu.

But she wouldn't be an idiot to remind Mother Jia.

Mother Jia told Xifeng again and again, "You know this idea, I know it, and no one else can tell it. If it leaks, you are the only one to ask."

Xifeng said with a smile: "Don't the ancestors worry about me?"

Mother Jia's smile was a bit turbid, "It's true, among the juniors, my two most proud granddaughter-in-laws are Qin's and you." She patted Xifeng's hand, "Don't Let me down."

When Xifeng walked out of Jia's mother's room, she felt cold sweat all over her back. The autumn wind was hard, and once it blew, it chilled her heart.

"What does mother think of Miss Shi San?" After dismissing Ning Yun and Lan Yun in the evening, Lin Yuzhen changed her clothes and sat down to eat with Zheng Shi.

Zheng said with a smile: "What do you think of her?"

"It's just that the eyes are too poisonous. Don't look gentle on the surface, they are actually powerful everywhere." Lin Yuzhen shook her head, and Mingyue pendant sounded crisply, "I don't think the fourth brother can hold her down." She hesitated a little , "I think, even the eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law may not be this person's opponent."

She asked Zheng Shi again, "I think the second girl is good."

Lin Yuzhen thought so.

Such a person, if he marries as a clan wife, it doesn’t matter if he marries as the wife of the eldest son. After all, he has to be very powerful to control the whole family. Between sisters-in-law and brothers, if there is no fight, there will be fights, but the family will be restless.

Mrs. Zheng smiled, stretched her eyebrows, and asked, "You don't like it?"

"In all fairness, it still suits my appetite." Lin Yuzhen admitted, "In the final analysis, there is no such thing as someone from the Duke's Mansion or the Hou Mansion."

She added, "It doesn't matter whether I like it or not, the important thing is whether it's my temper with my fourth brother."

"Our house is different from other people's houses. It's not like you don't know it." Mrs. Zheng put down her chopsticks, drank a sip of tea, rinsed her mouth, pointed out a few things at random, and then the servant girl started serving dishes.Mrs. Zheng still had a smile on her face, but her eyes were a bit fierce, "I never like people in my family to fight for petty conveniences. If you marry into our Lin family, you are the wife of our Lin family. It’s a junior again, do you think there will be any big mistakes?”

Lin Yuzhen's hands shook slightly, but her expression was still calm. She smiled, "Mother is overwhelmed." Then she changed the topic, "Everyone in Beijing knows that Miss Shi San is one of the children in Shifu's life. The most outstanding one is also quite capable, able to put people from the mother's generation in the same place." She smiled sweetly, "I am only thinking of my mother, mother, don't be angry, after all, you are the stepmother, if you tell the fourth brother For such a marriage, father hasn't asked for a son yet, I'm afraid that Jingli will have a bad opinion of your mother, so I'm not overthinking it."

She subconsciously clenched the chopsticks tightly, her knuckles turned white.

The Zheng family is not the biological mother of her and her elder brother and second brother. The situation of the Lin family is complicated. The position of the eldest son has always been to establish the virtuous but not the elder.

The third brother didn't accomplish anything, and he only knew how to play with birds and enjoy flowers all day long, so that's all right, the second brother and them were born of the same mother, no matter which one is better between him and the eldest brother, Lin Yuzhen thinks it is better.

But the fourth brother has to talk about it.

If the Zheng family fell in love with Shi Ningyun, she wouldn't care if it was for the second brother or the third brother, but both of them were married, but if it was for the fourth brother, she would have to sound the alarm.

Now in Nanyang affairs, the eldest brother is already incapable of doing things and was reprimanded by his father, but the fourth brother is still alive and well. At this time, it is really difficult to go home with a reputation.

She had analyzed the two girls from Shifu.

Shi Lanyun is a simple person, no matter how powerful Zhao's political influence is, it's like putting an epee in the hands of a slender lady.

But Shi Ningyun is different. Not only is she a difficult person, she is smart and has means. From many things, she is not afraid of blood on her hands. She has an invisible political dowry and a Shifu with two princes. Ziren once served as the chief assistant, but he was in decline back then, but now he is thriving. His father has just made military exploits, not to mention the academy behind his aunt Zhao, and now everyone wants to fight for strength.

This person must not marry the fourth brother!

Based on her understanding, although Shi Ningyun is usually calm and calm, if someone else blocks her way, the best result is probably death.

If possible, it is best not to marry the two girls from the Shifu.

Lin Yuzhen's heart was turbulent, but her face was as calm as water.

She has no idea.

After all, Mrs. Zheng is a concubine, so she is not familiar with many things about the housekeeper. In addition, when she was pregnant with her third and fourth brothers, she escaped death and had no intention of being a housekeeper. She can intervene in major and small matters in the old mansion, but now the children are As she grew older, Zheng gradually wanted to take back her power. As a girl who was about to marry, it was naturally difficult for her to hold on to power. Now she didn't know how much weight her words would have on Zheng.

When Zheng raised her eyebrows, her appearance became more and more gorgeous, but the smile on the corner of her mouth seemed ironic to Lin Yuzhen.

"Actually, it wasn't my idea." Mrs. Zheng turned the small Chengyao bell in her hand, "It was your father who planned to marry Shifu."

Lin Yuzhen frowned, "Ms. Shi Er is actually a good girl..."

Mrs. Zheng sighed, "Girl, you don't know, Miss Shi Er was scheduled to send it to the palace. Last year, when Mrs. Zhao went home to pay her birthday, she went back to discuss this matter with Xueshi Zhao, and Lan Yun Concubine Wei and the Crown Princess have all looked at this child, and they have also taken a fancy to it."

"However, considering the background of the Hou family, the Shifu is a hereditary marquis and a family of Jinling. It is impossible not to be selected."

Zheng's words were like stones falling into shallow rivers, even if Lin Yuzhen reacted quickly, she couldn't help leaving a look of surprise on her face.

Seeing Lin Yuzhen's expression, Mrs. Zheng smiled from the bottom of her heart.

She shook her head regretfully, "Son, I don't know that you are doing it for my own good, but this matter, after all, is beyond my discretion. I also want to find a gentler wife for your fourth brother, but your father The meaning is that the first level is still difficult to deal with, and the second level, the saint wants to abdicate, and he has negotiated with the prince. Now the prince has already appointed Wei Yansheng to enter the cabinet, and the vacant position of Jiangnan governor. The saint means to Promote Shi Ding to the top."

Lin Yuzhen sighed.

"From this point of view, Ms. Shi San is the most suitable." Lin Yuzhen smiled lightly. She has experienced several times of ups and downs. mood, she smiled calmly, "What are you waiting for, mother?"

Zheng felt that she couldn't see through Lin Yuzhen more and more.

Lin Yuzhen is smart because she is smart, and if she can't stop it, she will find a way to turn this matter to her advantage.
