Difficult for a son-in-law

Zhennan Prince's Mansion is the first palace of the Dafeng Dynasty, even though the imperial capital is only the temporary residence of Zhennan King, it is still beautifully organized.

Ming Zhan entertained Wei Ning in Fengjingnan's courtyard.

Wei Ning still had that gentle and elegant appearance, and his jade-green clothes were scented with a faint warm fragrance.The two sat cross-legged under the sycamore tree with sparse branches and wide leaves, and the slightly drunk breeze carried the smell of flowers and plants. They made tea with clean hands, chatted and sipped the fragrance of tea.

Ming Zhan is not a person who is good at enjoying life, but he likes to see Wei Ning's dexterous fingers and his drooping warm and earnest eyelids.Wei Ning is very patient, even if he has something to ask for, even if both parties know that no one is here to drink this pot of tea, but he can calm down and cook a pot of fairy goods.

"I like purple sand, but your father prefers jade." Holding the mutton fat jade cup in front of Ming Zhan, Ming Zhan took it with both hands, took a sip, and the things cooked with heart must be different.Nod and smile.

Wei Ning slowly sipped a small cup, and sighed, "The best Junshan silver needle, if you can cook a pot with the dew from June lotus, it will be perfect."

As good as it gets?How can there be so many perfections in the world?

Ming Zhan looked at Wei Ning, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, Wei Ning put the jade cup on the stone table, and said with a smile, "My wife entered the palace, and I heard from the Queen Mother that I intend to betroth the daughter of Shouning Hou Tian's family to Ming Zhan. Let's be my first wife."

"Shouning Hou Shizi married my third sister, and this girl is the eldest daughter of my third sister." Wei Ning had a faint worry on his face, "Women have women's wisdom. Sometimes they may look stupid, but they are often It's very practical. The Wei family is the mother family of the emperor, and the princes all have the blood of the Wei family. I have no intention of marrying into the royal family. This time, the queen mother took a fancy to my third sister's daughter, just to help the second sister."

Ming Zhan raised his eyebrows.If Wei Ning hadn't come to the door, he really didn't know these things.It is so sad that the people he has no use at hand have become deaf and blind.

"The third sister has already married into the Tian family, and Hou Ninghou and I are related by marriage. Mingzhan, your mother is Zhennan Wangzhengfei, and Mingli's mother is my elder sister. I don't need to let a girl who is related to the Wei family marry Mingli. This is of no benefit to me, but it will offend you and the Marquis of Yongning." Wei Ning was very sincere, spread Yubai's palm, and smiled wryly, "If Mingli marries my niece, no matter whether Mingli is in the imperial capital or not, When I have children in the future, I will definitely return to Yunnan. Mingli's mother is her aunt. Although Princess Wei is the aunt, she wants to get closer to my second sister. The daughter-in-law is already married. Should Princess Wei share some of the housework with her? Daughter-in-law take care of it?"

"The rights will be eroded by such a little bit." Wei Ning sighed softly, and said helplessly, "Although her surname is Tian, ​​people who are interested will always think that she is the niece of the Wei family. The internal disputes in the palace are on my head."

For Wei Ning, this marriage is indeed a follow-up. Wei Ning is a smart person, so he should not do such a stupid thing.The benefits to the Empress Dowager Wei and Concubine Wei are limited, and the only biggest beneficiary is the side concubine Wei who is far away in Yunnan.Of course, if it is beneficial to Wei's side concubine, Feng Mingli will benefit.Tian's family is also the natal family of the first queen, so their family background is naturally good.

Although Concubine Wei was favored and gave birth to three sons and one daughter, the inner house of Zhennan Palace was always controlled by Princess Wei.Princess Wei acted steadily and thoughtfully, taking charge of the internal affairs by herself, without even the slightest mistake, even Feng Jingnan couldn't find fault.Concubine Wei had no place to intervene even if she wanted to, but it was different when she had a daughter-in-law.

Ah.Ming Zhan scratched his chin, afraid that Ming Fei would bring something extraordinary to the Queen Mother this time, right?

Although the Empress Dowager Wei has this intention, the wishes of the Empress Dowager Wei are not the most important. Ming Zhan wrote, "What is the emperor's intention?"

"The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, I don't know."

Ming Zhan glanced at Wei Ning and wrote, "We have to be honest with each other, you are not sincere. Although I don't want your niece to marry, there must be a woman who will marry Mingli. As long as it is Mingli's daughter-in-law, You will get closer to Concubine Wei, not just your niece. Even if you really mean marriage, you should not underestimate the methods of the princess of Yifu. Your sister can't do anything to my mother, let alone your niece? You don't have enough bargaining chips, I Can't figure out why I want to join forces with you?"

"Ming Zhan, the Wei family is already the mother family of the emperor, it's too late to be cautious, and I don't intend to participate in the affairs of the prince's heir and your Zhennan palace." Wei Ning said.

"Smart people will do this." Ming Zhan shook his head, "It's only good for you."

Wei Ning sighed with a smile, "It's true that if you don't see the rabbits and don't scatter the eagles, you will benefit from it." He whispered a few words in Ming Zhan's ear.

Ming Zhan smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Now that Shengjia and your father are not in the imperial capital, we should go to the Shouninghou's mansion first." Naturally, Wei Ning already has success in his chest, and here, one is to borrow Mingzhan's strength After all, with Ming Zhan's help, it's easy to explain in front of the emperor. According to his observation, the emperor does treat Ming Zhan differently, and Ming Zhan has many backs for this matter.The second is to show kindness to Ming Zhan.

Ming Zhan got the benefits, so he was naturally willing to move around. He called the butler to prepare the car and horse, and then went to the house to change clothes.Feng Jingnan won't allow him to express his opinion, so he has to do something about it.

The concierge of the Marquis of Shouning saw that it was the carriage ordered by the prince, and rushed out to welcome it.

Two people jumped out of the car, Cheng Enhou, and a fat man whom he didn't know.

Wei Ning scolded with a smile, "What are you doing stupidly, this is the fourth son of the Wang family in Zhennan. Those brats who have no eyesight, don't show respect to the fourth son."

"Greetings to Lord Hou and Fourth Young Master."

"Fourth son, please come here."

People with no eyesight can't be concierges. I heard that the eldest daughter of his family is going to marry into the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. I guess it's a sure thing. Why don't people from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion come to the door?With thoughts in his heart, he warmed up to Ming Zhan even more.

Ming Zhan glanced sideways at Wei Ning, Wei Ning took Ming Zhan's hand, smiled at him, and asked the porter, "Is your master here?"

"Yes, the master has already told you. Come over today, Master Hou, and tell the little one to invite Master Hou directly."

It turned out that he had come prepared, this dead fox had already planned his plan, Ming Zhan had a slight smile on his face, and followed Wei Ning into the Shouning Marquis Mansion through the middle gate.

Shouning Hou Tianhui was already in his early fifties, and his body was very strong. When he heard that the fourth son of the Zhennan Wang family had arrived together, he frowned and hurriedly went out to welcome him.

Wei Ning smiled and bowed, "Hi Uncle Shi, Zimin greets you."

Ming Zhan followed and saluted, with Wei Ning in his heart, your old Wei family ancestors have been poor for three generations, and you don't know where you talked about a "nephew" relationship with the Shouning Hou family with hairpins for generations.

Marquis Shou Ning smiled and supported Wei Ning, "Forget it, you have to come here every time." He clasped his fists at Ming Zhan, "The fourth son is a rare visitor, please come inside."

Since Wei Ning already had a countermeasure, Ming Zhan sat and listened to Wei Ning and Shou Ninghou talking.

I have to admit that Wei Ning is really a good dancer with long sleeves. Hou Ning smiled all over his face when he was praised by Hou Ning. Of course, Hou Ning's morality and deeds will not be coaxed by Wei Ning's three or five good words, but everyone loves to listen to good words. Shou Ninghou's face was much more relaxed than when he saw Ming Zhan.

Wei Ning grinned, "Uncle Shi also knows that the emperor ordered me to teach Mingzhan music theory, and we can show our temper. He heard that his future sister-in-law is the daughter of Uncle Shi's house, so he asked me to bring him here to pay Uncle Shi's respect. .”

Shou Ninghou said solemnly, "Zi Min, you can't talk nonsense! If there is no shadow, let the emperor hear enough for you to drink a pot. Although the emperor loves you, you should be more restrained."

Ming Zhan stared wide-eyed with surprise on his face, and wrote, "Isn't it? I heard that Concubine Wei sent a letter to the concubine of Lord Hou and Shizi in order to facilitate this marriage?"

Marquis Shou Ning almost broke the porcelain cup in his hand, and waved his hands again and again, "Fourth Young Master, don't listen to the villain's words, it's absolutely nothing, it's absolutely nothing!" He often entered the palace, especially this time to choose a wife for the eldest son of Zhennan King, and to make jewelry and make new clothes for his granddaughter. Shou Ninghou knew all about this.The eldest daughter-in-law and side concubine Wei are biological sisters, could it be that there is something really going on here.It's just that whether there is or not, he will never recognize it!

He didn't object to this marriage in his heart, his family was already a foreign relative, and marrying the girl into the royal family would get rid of the suspicion of forming a party for personal gain.What's more, this is the eldest son of King Zhennan.

Although he is a concubine, but he is a concubine, and he glanced at Ming Zhan's face that seems to be smiling but not smiling, well, although he can't speak, he seems to have a lot of heart.

The fourth son from the first line is not easy to deal with, Shou Ninghou cheered up, and said again, "Fourth son, don't misunderstand, the prince's decision on the elder brother's marriage in the family, can you talk more about idlers?"

Ming Zhan nodded with a smile, with a look of calmness like you are fooling a ghost.

"The Zhennan Prince's family is noble, and my granddaughter's appearance of cattail grass, can she be worthy of your elder brother? There is absolutely no such thing."

Ming Zhan wrote, "Why can't you be worthy, the eldest brother is a concubine, not a son of the world."

Shou Ninghou wanted to spurt blood, you, you, what do you mean!Me, if I didn't aim at him being the son, I would marry my granddaughter!

"Could it be that you think elder brother will be the heir?" The small book is only for Shouning Hou to see, Ming Zhan has no scruples, he looks at Shouning Hou with pure and clear eyes.

"I haven't been in court for a long time, and I don't know about these things. Don't mention it to me, Fourth Young Master." Shou Ninghou sighed, "If Fourth Young Master wants to interfere with your elder brother's marriage, you can discuss it with the prince and come to my house. Come on, I have nothing to do."

Ming Zhan wrote with a smile, "My father doesn't tell me these things at all. I just want to inquire about my sister-in-law's temperament in advance. Otherwise, won't it hurt my peace if I don't get along with my mother? I heard that it is your granddaughter. I am relieved." Yes. I know the temperament of Concubine Wei. I heard that your granddaughter is the niece of the Wei family. It must be the same. So, come here to greet you first."

If Marquis Shouning didn't know Ming Zhan's intentions, he would be a fool.It's just that being threatened by a junior like this wouldn't make me feel happy, and said with a smile, "I know what the Fourth Young Master means. I also know why Zi Min came here." He looked at Wei Ning meaningfully as he spoke.

Wei Ning smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and met Shou Ninghou's gaze and said, "Uncle Shi, please don't wrong me. I think the second sister in my family married so far away, and she won't see her for more than ten years. What kind of people, don’t want the third sister to suffer from me. In fact, Mingli is my own nephew, why don’t I look forward to him? Uncle Shi, I heard from my wife that your second-bedroom granddaughter is also well-educated and a rare lady.”
