[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

In the courtyard of the old lady in Changning Bo's mansion, Zhou Huilian sat there with her head upright, letting the people around her argue, but she just kept silent.As the eldest daughter-in-law of the uncle's house, Mrs. Zhou hugged her little daughter and sat there very silently today. The eldest lady of the uncle's house, Zhou Huimei, called for sick leave today, and her seat was vacated.In this bustle, the long house that was supposed to be the center seemed to be separated from the whole group.

Although Zhou Huilian did not become a princess, but the Bo mansion can produce another princess and successfully excited the whole Bo mansion.The old matriarch did not have much expectation for Zhou Huilian to become the crown princess. Now that the Zhou family and the Zhang family are in the same situation, even if Zhu Youtang agrees, the Zhang family will definitely oppose it to the end.How could she find a daughter of a rival family as her daughter-in-law?

Besides, my family has already produced a great empress dowager, it is impossible for the emperor to let the Zhou family produce a crown prince and become a queen in the future.But the Zhou family has been quiet for too long, and Zhou Yao hasn't even moved his position in the past two years. If he doesn't worry about it, the day lily may be cold when the empress dowager goes.

It's not just Zhou Huilian who is anxious about her own future, the whole Zhou family is also running for the future of Bofu.Now the news that Zhou Huilian is about to become a princess undoubtedly temporarily calmed down the people in the Bofu.Since Zhou Huilian was able to become a concubine, it was the queen who bestowed the marriage in person, which shows that the emperor has not completely disliked the Zhou family, and there is every hope that the Zhou family can make further progress before the empress dowager goes.

Everyone gathered together today to plan for Zhou Huilian's marriage.Shen Wang Zhu Youkai is 16 years old this year, and he hopes to marry Zhou Huilian back home in April next year, and they will go to Hubei together in June next year.It is already November, time is very urgent, some big things should be prepared, the royal wedding has a lot of ceremonies, if you don't prepare in advance, you will be busy to death.

Seeing them discussing Zhou Huilian's dowry eagerly there, the silent two mothers and daughters have their own thoughts, only Xiao Wu, who has been able to live a little bit in the past two days because of foot binding, is still there and doesn't know what to say to himself.

Zhou Huilian watched them coldly as they calculated how much dowry King Shen would have, and how much dowry the uncle's mansion should give.Then I remembered what I overheard today: "I originally thought that the Empress Dowager is gone, and if the second girl is not found, I will send her to guard the tomb of the Empress Dowager, so as to give the Zhou family a great reputation as a filial piety. Now it seems that it is not possible. The empress dowager has been here for the past two years. The second girl has been following the empress dowager. She was the most suitable. Now she can have this way out, so let's send the fifth girl there. The empress dowager insists on the fifth girl Binding feet confronted the princess, and sent her to the Empress Dowager, sent her away and gained fame."

This is the prosperous Changning Mansion, and this is the loving great-grandfather, but they are just a group of strangers taking advantage of themselves. Zhou Huilian's last bit of guilt for the Changning Mansion is gone.Now she just wants to leave the capital far away and never come back, and never look at the faces of these people again.As for the eldest sister and fifth younger sister, it doesn't matter what they think of themselves now, and their fate has nothing to do with him in the future.It was they who took me down first, so don't blame me for taking them down.Thinking of this, Zhou Huilian didn't even want to talk to the people in this room.

Of course Mrs. Zhou is happy that her second daughter is married well, but she also has an inexplicable complaint when she is happy.She knew that the second daughter was going to guard the mausoleum for the empress dowager, and now that the second daughter was married to the prince, the matter of guarding the mausoleum for the empress dowager would not be mentioned or she would find someone else.In order not to let people say that the Zhou family has a good reputation, those who go must be people who are close to the empress dowager.The young lady in the family, the eldest, the second, and the third all have family members, and the fourth child dies early, leaving only the fifth child and the sixth child, and the sixth child is still too young, so it can only be the fifth child.

People are eccentric. Compared with the second daughter who grew up with the empress dowager, Mrs. Zhou prefers her son and daughter who were raised by herself.Mrs. Zhou was also sad when she knew that the second child was going to go, but when the fifth child was going to replace the second child, Mrs. Zhou felt dissatisfied.

Madam Zhou was even more dissatisfied when she heard the old matriarch take out all the things from the bottom of the box.In order to please the Empress Dowager, she endured the pain and bound Xiao Wu's feet, and Xiao Wu couldn't sleep because of the pain every night.And because of the foot binding, Xiao Wu also registered with the empress, so she has to worry about her future marriage.But what about the old lady and the others, the eldest is still the eldest daughter, because she married the son of the Jijiu family, and the noble is the noble, but life is harder. She just wanted to compensate the eldest daughter, but she was given by the old lady. dismissed.

But this marriage was decided by the old matriarch herself. There is no reason for wanting the boss to earn fame for the Zhou family and marrying a poor family but not willing to distribute more dowry.Comparing with the second daughter's well-married and generous dowry, Mrs. Zhou will inevitably feel resentment in her heart.She didn't dare to fight with the men, and she didn't dare to fight with the old lady, so she could only blame Zhou Huilian for all the grievances in her heart.

Everyone in the Zhou family had their own ghosts, and the Empress Dowager Zhou was also very angry in the palace.She knew that her time was approaching, and she also knew that the Zhou family had gradually separated from her.Looking at Zhou Yu in front of her, she doubted for the first time whether it was worth it to do so many things for this.

"Are you really determined to send Xiao Wu here?" The Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes could no longer see much. Now that Zhou Yu was in front of her, she could only see his gray hair and fat skin. In official uniform.She couldn't see his expression, so she imagined it in her heart.Is he smiling, or is he looking at himself with the coquettish eyes as usual when he was a child, or even with a sneer.

"The second girl is now married to the young prince, and she is going home to be married. I'm afraid the empress dowager is bored, so I thought I would send Xiao Wu here to accompany the empress dowager." Zhou Yu knew that the empress dowager couldn't see her eyes, so she didn't have to. In the play to the very end, just staring at the ground.

Mrs. Zhou stood up holding the back of the chair, and the maid beside her hurriedly helped her up. "Are you looking at Ben Gong for being useless? Can't protect the Zhou family, can you? Now that she has climbed up to Gao Zhi'er, you will throw this old lady of Ben Gong aside! Isn't it?!"

Unexpectedly, the Zhou family would be so angry, Zhou Yu hurriedly pleaded guilty: "My younger brother has never thought about it like this, how could my elder sister think about me like this. It's just that the second girl is about to get married, so it's not good to have those things on her body anymore."

"What are the things! Could it be that my old woman is still a badass! Cough... Cough..." She said too hastily, Zhou coughed, and Zhou Yu rushed up to give him relief. "Sister calm down, sister calm down, I will send the second girl to my sister tomorrow."

Only then was Zhou reconciled, and slowly calmed down.Zhou Yu looked at the wrinkles on his sister's face like withered bark, covered with uneven brown spots, and felt disgusted.

After coaxing Mrs. Zhou out and returning home, Zhou Yu saw his eldest grandson waiting for him there. "Grandpa, what's going on?"

"It still doesn't work, the empress dowager insists on taking the second girl." Zhou Yu shook his head, he didn't know what his elder sister was thinking, he was already at this age, and he would commit this crime when he was about to die.

Zhou Yao originally hoped that his grandfather could solve this problem, but he also hit a wall. "Then what should we do now? The lord has people here since the beginning of the new year. If you see the scars on Lian'er's body..." Zhou Yao didn't think there was anything wrong with sending a little girl to the empress dowager, but each took what he wanted Just need it.She can enjoy the same treatment as a princess, so it's nothing to pay a little for these things.

"Now we can only take one step at a time. The empress dowager still knows the truth, and she must not be indifferent to people's eyes. I just hope that the empress dowager can let us go." This matter can only be covered, otherwise the whole uncle The reputation of the government is bad.In order to win the favor of the Empress Dowager, a dignified head of the Ningbo Mansion gave the Empress Dowager the daughter of the family's direct descendant, and said on the surface that the Empress Dowager liked this child.Even though everyone won't say anything because of the empress dowager's face, it will be difficult for Changning uncle's mansion to marry a good wife in the future.

The moment she was pushed into the sedan chair into the palace, Zhou Huilian hated the Zhou family very much.Why should I be under the control of the Empress Dowager even though I have already been engaged to King Shen.The Zhou family just needs to climb up, right? Isn't he more useful than a dying wife?

When the nanny who delivered the message came in, Zhu Houzhao was eating with Mrs. Zhang, and when she heard the news that Zhou Huilian had entered the palace, Mrs. Zhang's hand stopped inexplicably.Zhu Hou took care of Mrs. Zhang in a daze, wondering what was so strange about it, didn't Zhou Huilian often enter the palace, why did Mrs Zhang react so abnormally this time.

"Oh, it's okay." Zhang came back to her senses, smiled and gave Zhu Houzhao a note of food. "Your little uncle is also engaged, so it's not too late for you. What kind of girl do you like? Tell me, and mother will choose for you."

After hearing this sentence, Zhu Houzhao immediately became embarrassed, and he was glad that Du Ruo had something to go home at noon today, otherwise he would have to explain it again. "How old am I, why are you in such a hurry to get married?"

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Zhang was sure, thought he was shy and was anxious to get rid of it for a while, and said with a smile: "You are still young, it's not too late to get to know each other slowly. It's just that there are few good girls, so I still have to plan for you early." It's just that I feel emotional again here. "You are all grown up, and so am I."

Zhu Youtang didn't know how to answer, Zhu Houzhao didn't want to answer, and the two children didn't know how to answer.For a moment, the atmosphere stayed in the passage of Zhang's mourning alone.

In the evening, for some reason, Mrs. Zhou suddenly fell seriously ill, and many imperial physicians were announced in the palace overnight.Zhu Houzhao got dressed in the middle of the night and hurried to Qingning Palace.Mrs. Zhou had already passed, and Zhu Houzhao took a sneak peek. His eyes were closed, his mouth and eyes were crooked. Could it be that he had a stroke.I saw Zhou Huilian sitting there again, with her head down, and two tear stains on her face.

The two little ones couldn't bear it any longer, Zhu Houzhao asked the imperial doctor, and said that there was no hindrance in the past two days, so he sent the two young ones back.The three of Zhu Youtang stayed there until noon the next day, when Zhou's condition stabilized, and he rested for a while in Qingning Palace.

The empress dowager was sure to survive, so Zhang and Zhu Youtang had the energy to care about Zhou's illness.When Zhou fell ill that day, only two nuns and Zhou Huilian were in front of her. The three of them couldn't tell what was going on.
