Syndicate Growth Manual

This interrupted what Fan Shi wanted to say, so she had no choice but to reach out and pick up a roll to bite. The roll was made in the shape of a chrysanthemum and filled with red bean stuffing. When I have something in mind, I just feel that eating is tasteless.

Mrs. Yu smiled slightly: "Although you are going to be a mother, you still love sweets like that child... Auntie knows that you have always been kind, and thinks that if you treat the child well, he will be filial to you." , This statement is true," she said with a look of contempt again, "but that's us, but evildoers are evildoers after all, it's impossible for you to treat them well, and they will repay you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, an incomparably beautiful face flashed through Fan's mind.

A concubine... Speaking of which, her aunt had a smooth life, but she was the only one who stumbled on one person, and she was just a concubine.

While thinking about it, Fan slowly said: "Auntie, what you said is reasonable, I also know that people's hearts are fickle, even I can't guarantee whether I can always treat the child well, but the child is not a child. Cats and puppies, I treat him well all the time, sometimes I just ignore him, which will not only offend my conscience, but also make him hate him for nothing.”

These words are her sincere thoughts.

She stayed in the harem for several years. Some concubines and concubines of the monarch have children, and some have no children, but those who have children sometimes cannot support children. under the name.For a few years, he was raised with gold and jade, but when he had his own child, the first one became an eyesore weed, and even a little eunuch who had just entered the palace could bully him at will!She didn't want to become such a person herself.

Yu Shi laughed, as if laughing at her innocence: "Silly girl, I don't want you to do anything to him, what I mean is, let him have to depend on you to live a good life!"

Fan was puzzled, so Yu explained to her: "What is your natal family doing? Is it possible that the Fan family is just a decoration? Generally, in such a situation, you can consider from your natal family and choose a relative for him. You're a fool, who doesn't want to marry the Fan family in Jiangcheng?"

Fan's epiphany: "You mean, let me find one..."

Mrs. Yu smiled and clasped her hands lightly: "Exactly, if you choose a girl from our Fan family, the concubine will be the best, and the concubine will match the concubine's daughter, and the Fan family's family background will not be considered an insult to him. If he really marries Daughter of the Fan family, when your child grows up, you don't have to be ruthless to guard against it when your child grows up. We also have a few girls in the third house of our first branch, so we don't have to worry about their marriage in the future."

For a moment, Fan felt that there was some truth to this idea.Although Zhao Yuan's real status is undeniably precious, but after all, the Zhao family's Zhuang Wei and the former general died, and the Lu family's family was wiped out, it is impossible for him to regain his status... For the eldest son of a concubine, if he can marry everyone, he is very expensive. A woman, even a concubine, is a good match...

"how do you feel?"

Fan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Anu... After all, he is the eldest son of the great general. I don't know what to do with this one. His future is uncertain, and I'm afraid I can't decide the marriage."

Where did the Yu family expect to settle it today?She could hear the wavering in her niece's words, and that was enough.

Everything is still under her control.

That's enough.

At this moment, a maidservant in the corridor outside stopped with a tea tray, with a shocked expression on her face.She pursed her lips, looked around, then turned and left quietly.

At noon, banquets were held in the outer and inner courtyards, and because the sun was high, they were held in the shed.The banquets in the mansion are all served in the big kitchen, with several dishes and dishes, and there are examples to follow for what kind of dishes and soups. Only the middle and lower families have no recipes handed down I was too lazy to waste those efforts, so I went outside to buy wine and banquets in restaurants and restaurants.

Today's Chrysanthemum Banquet family has a set menu, but each family is slightly different.Fan’s family feasted eight people at a table, and the cold dishes were divided into four meat and eight vegetables, including Bichrysanthemum chicken breast, chrysanthemum leaf bad elbow flower, golden chrysanthemum mixed with fragrant dried, chrysanthemum-flavored Ruyi roll, chrysanthemum-shaped fish roll, chrysanthemum petals Bullwhip jelly and so on; hot dishes are golden chrysanthemum bird's nest cup, white chrysanthemum proud cream wings, fragrant stalagmite fish, grilled chrysanthemum-shaped shrimp, chrysanthemum-flavored crab fat, green chrysanthemum in honey sauce, double chrysanthemum suckling pig, colorful chrysanthemum fragrance Celery...

Mrs. Fan was seated along with Mrs. Yu. Although her family belonged to the second room, her parents were not there, so she sat in the first room, and no one said anything.From a distance, they saw a group of boys and girls coming together, not only the children of the eldest room and Zhao Yuan, but also the children of Fan Ying's family who returned to Ning today.

In the first branch of the Fan family, the second wife and Fan Ying are both from the first family, but the third family is from the concubine.Although Fan Ying is the third eldest, she is the heir of the heirloom. Back then, she was so favored by the Fan family that even the elder sister-in-law, the Yu family, avoided her. The marriage was also chosen by her grandfather, the founding county magistrate at that time. After she married the Luan family in the south as the clan wife, she gave birth to the eldest son the next year, and later gave birth to an old daughter. Now she is twelve years old, and her marriage has not yet been decided.

Those who came today were Fan Ying's daughter Luan Xue and granddaughter Luan E.

The children saluted table by table before going to the table reserved for them alone.

Luan Xue was not only the oldest, but also the oldest in their junior table.Like her niece, she looks like a Luan family member, with a distinctive beauty point. Compared with the young ladies present, she has a more delicate and graceful temperament, speaks slowly, and doesn't even have the slightest deterrent power to stare at anyone.

Zhao Yuanke likes her!Since everyone didn't divide their seats, he picked the stool next to Luan Xue, but couldn't climb up it for a while. Unfortunately, Luan Xue was powerless, so Fan Tang, who was sitting next to him, laughed a few times and hugged him Coming up, he covered his mouth and laughed a few times seeing Zhao Yuan's short legs that couldn't reach the ground.

"Cousin laughed so silly!" Zhao Yuan couldn't hold back the poisonous snake once he was familiar with her.

Fan Tang hurriedly covered his mouth and stared at him.

Zhao Yuan pretended not to see, turned his head and called Luan Xue courteously: "Beauty sister..."

Now even Fan Cheng, who was sitting opposite, couldn't ignore him anymore, and couldn't help correcting him: "We're going to call you aunt, what sister!"

Luan Xuefen blushed and gave him an annoyed look.

Zhao Yuan immediately followed suit and said, "Auntie, what do you like to eat? I'll make it for you."

Fan Xin let out a laugh: "Your arms are so short, my aunt loves to eat fish, can you catch them?"

A few plates of fish happened to be on the other side, Zhao Yuan looked at it, then looked at his own arm, and suddenly felt like a thunderbolt!Never felt so insecure!

Luan Xue has a sister-in-law and nephews and nieces, so she has developed a gentle and kind temperament.Seeing this, she hurriedly rescued Zhao Yuan: "It's all right, I love chicken breast, I'll eat it if you catch it."

The Bichrysanthemum chicken breast was right in front of them, and Zhao Yuan was moved to tears.Even in his previous life, he never met a few girls who were as considerate as Luan Xue.

In fact, when they were having banquets, there were maids serving food beside them, but the juniors were familiar with each other, and they didn't pay attention to rules as much as adults, not to mention it was more lively when you came and went.

While socializing, Fan only sipped a little chrysanthemum wine, looking back at Zhao Yuan's table from time to time.Seeing that he gets along well with the juniors of his natal family, he feels very relieved.It's just that thinking about the conversation with Mrs. Yu made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Let's talk about Zhao Chen.

It's still early in the morning, and today's audience is limited to officials and titles above the third rank, and several rows of courtiers have already stood outside the Qi Qi Palace.Zhao Chen had military merits and was a member of the clan, so he was made a second-rank marquis.In a row of officials, there are quite a few young ones like him. Most of the military officials belong to the clan, but there are a few civilian officials who are from poor families.Not to mention the difference between civil and military, even the aristocratic family and the poor family are like a natural barrier.

After the court meeting, eunuch Yu stood behind the curtain and waved to Zhao Chen.

"But the monarch summoned?" Zhao Chen walked over and asked in a low voice.

Eunuch Yu bowed deeply: "It was His Majesty who summoned you, please come with me."

Zhao Chen followed him through the palace all the way, and arrived at the garden behind several palaces. From a distance, he saw Duke Cheng Zhao Mian standing on the curved bridge with his hands behind his back, his mian uniform still on.He came to Zhao Mian, saluted, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty."

Zhao Mian turned around and looked at him, frowning: "Have you changed?"

Zhao Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he said without changing his face, "I have not changed, my minister."

Cheng Gong raised the corner of his mouth: "Really..." He turned around again and asked, "What do you think about the left and right generals?"

Zhao Chen bowed his head: "Several years of guarding the border, there are victories and losses, although there is no great merit, there is no major demerit."

"Even though there is no merit, there is no fault," Duke Zhao Guocheng sneered, "I'm afraid they never expected that the son was sent to your house, but in exchange for this sentence, there is no merit or fault."

Zhao Chen didn't speak, and simply knelt down neatly, with his forehead touching the bluestone bridge deck.

The atmosphere seemed to be stagnant, and the eunuch Yu was already like a stone statue, standing motionless a little far away from them.It was almost noon, and the Chongyang sun made him sweat all over his head, but his whole body was still cold.

For a moment, he even thought that today would be a bloody end again.When the sun goes down, maybe he will order the little eunuch to come here again. The blood on the bridge needs to be washed over and over again with water.

But Cheng Gong's anger quickly calmed down.He twirled the sweat on his fingers, and casually said to Zhao Chen: "After the Double Ninth Festival, let them go back to the border for defense. Since they are willing to keep their children in Jiangcheng, they will do so."

Zhao Chen whispered, "Here."

The corner of the crown robe in front of him slowly disappeared from sight, but he didn't get up, and he didn't even raise his head.

After a while, eunuch Yu came over and said to him softly, "My lord, Your Majesty has already left."

Zhao Chen exhaled slowly, then stood up.He slowly adjusted the slightly wrinkled court clothes, raised his crown, and his face was calm and natural.

"Yu really admires my lord," the eunuch Yu sighed, "I am afraid that only an adult can be neither humble nor overbearing in front of His Majesty." He has been by Zhao Mian's side for so long, and he has angered Zhao Mian several times but retreated completely. The whole country of Zhao is afraid. There is only Zhao Chen alone.

Zhao Chen smiled, but the smile didn't enter his eyes.

Neither humble nor overbearing?

He is wholeheartedly for the country, and has never had the heart of disobedience, why should he be humble?

On the contrary, it is the king's mind, but it is becoming more and more difficult to figure out day by day.
