Chapter 819 Is Isolated (One More)
No matter how complicated the Xie family's mood was, he still had to hold his nose to help Zhong Lan.

Of course, after Zhong Lan happily accepted the imperial decree.Xie Yunzi still had a private talk with Zhong Lan, and took the opportunity to win over Zhong Lan.

"During this time, I like your temperament very much. If you marry Xuan'er, you will be able to get along with him very well. It's a pity that you and Xuan'er still lack a little fate."

"In my heart, I still regard you as my niece and daughter-in-law. I only recognize you as one."

Zhong Lan listened to the concubine Hui's words that sounded very sincere, and deliberately opened her eyes wide, revealing a deer-like wet look, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Xie Yunzi felt a faint disdain in her heart, Zhong Lan was really not easy to deceive.Just like what my father said, this kind of innocent women who have never seen the market, as long as they use love as a prison, they can help them wholeheartedly.

Zhong Lan showed a shy and charming smile, "Then I can take him back to the Xi clan."

"I can raise him and plant a bamboo forest for him."

Xie Yunzi's full belly was blocked like this, and her body became stiff, "No need. Xuan'er's parents and elders are all in Xinzhou. He is a filial person. His parents are here, so he doesn't travel far."

Zhong Lan said: "It doesn't matter, his parents are my parents, and I can raise them together. I will be the patriarch in the future, so I can afford it."

Xie Yunzi didn't expect Zhong Lan to be so thick-skinned that it was useless, and even tried to covet her nephew.

She seemed to have remembered something, and said, "By the way, do you have that secret porcelain in your house? It is said to be very beautiful porcelain!"

"Can you give me a few? My father always wanted to buy secret color porcelain, but at that time no one would sell us such precious porcelain."

Most of the secret-color porcelain that Xie Yunzi brought to the palace has been harvested by Zhu Ya'er, and the remaining ones are all her favorites, and she is reluctant to use them usually, and only tastes them occasionally.Asking her to give it to Zhong Lan is undoubtedly cutting flesh in her heart.

She forced a smile, "The secret color porcelain in my hand was either given away or accidentally broken. I'm in the palace, so it's not easy to pass the news home."

Zhong Lan looked regretful, "Well, I thought the Xie family didn't lack anything."

Xie Yunzi had a subtle feeling of being ridiculed, but looking at Zhong Lan's innocent appearance, it should just be that she was thinking too much.

She really didn't like this kind of so-called outspoken girl.

Xie Yunzi quickly wanted to go back on the grounds of headaches, Zhong Lan was very concerned, "Your health seems to be poor, Concubine Hui, and you often have headaches. Is it possible that the imperial physicians in this palace are not skilled in medicine? I have medicines for headaches and brain fever here. You take some back."

Xie Yunzi's face changed drastically. She had heard that people of the Xi clan like to use Gu worms as medicine.Their medicine even has insect droppings.

Just imagining it made her feel creepy, let alone the entrance.

Xie Yunzi didn't even care about her appearance, and left in a hurry, her back showing the smell of running away.

Zhong Lan still had a sweet and moving smile on his face.

Speaking of which, she was able to serve as the patriarch smoothly this time, thanks to the help of the Xie family, so she should send more medicine to the Xie family.Hope they need to take medicine every day.

……

Since Zhong Lan was elected as the patriarch, she did not continue to live in the side hall of the Changqiu Palace, but instead lived with the eldest princess.

In order to keep a low profile, Su Yueling did not enter the palace to chat with her, so as not to stimulate some people's nerves.

However, Wu Shu next to her went into the palace to help the eldest princess comb her hair, and stayed in the palace for a while, personally teaching the maids around the eldest princess some makeup and hair buns.

Everyone only thought that Wu Shu was used by Su Yueling to honor the eldest princess, but they didn't know that Wu Shu had many connections with Zhong Lan in private.

Zhong Hongmeng and other elders reacted greatly to the fact that Zhong Lan was selected as the patriarch.

Over the years, the Xi Clan has no patriarch, and there is no one above them, so the power of the patriarch has been controlled by the elders.Zhong Hongmeng originally thought that with the help of Xie's family, the position of patriarch would be a matter of course, but he was snatched away by Zhong Lan, who was so angry that he almost fainted.What made him particularly incomprehensible was that he and the Xie family had always cooperated well, so why did the Xie family leave him behind and choose Zhong Lan?
He wanted to come to the door to defend himself, but he couldn't even enter the door of Xie's house.

He was still useful before, so he could naturally become the guest of Xie's family.Now that it has lost its value, it is abandoned like a piece of trash.

He couldn't see the Xie family, couldn't see Zhong Lan, and couldn't find Zhong Zi either.Zhong Hongmeng gritted his teeth and went to the other elders, intending to persuade everyone to work together to isolate Zhong Lan.He said earnestly: "We can't just sit and wait for death. Is it possible that you will really submit to a little girl who doesn't understand anything in the future?"

Zhong Ao said: "I don't agree, but this is the emperor's will. Do you want to resist the order?"

If Zhong Hongmeng had the guts, he would not have approached them and encouraged them to come forward.

Another elder said: "I heard that Zhong Lan is very fond of the queen mother. If she becomes the patriarch, it will be good for our Xi clan. I have already heard the news, and we don't need to buy salt at a high price in the future."

He took a sip of tea and showed a satisfied look.

Zhong Hongmeng's eyes fell on the cup in his hand, and said, "Where did you buy this cup?"

Elder Zhong Hook held a glass cup in his hand. This cup was different from any glass cup he had ever seen. It had irregular lines on it, like layers of icicles, and had an indescribably cold beauty.

Zhong Hook showed a somewhat smug expression, "I didn't buy this cup, it was a gift from the patriarch. I have a whole set over there. Only the nobles can buy such cups at present."

Zhong Ao said: "The set I received is different from yours. It has a gradient color. When you pour wine into it, it looks so pretty."

These elders exchanged the gifts they received, looking quite satisfied.After they came to the capital, what the Xie family said was nice, but they only gave them silk and jewelry, how could it compare to such a set of glass.Especially when I heard that even the rich and powerful in the capital had to queue up to buy this kind of glassware, they felt like they had become masters themselves.

Zhong Hongmeng was taken aback, "Why do you all have them?"

Then he looked devastated, "Is it just me?"

After all, he was still Zhong Lan's biological uncle, and Zhong Lan didn't even leave him any.

Zhong Hook stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "I think it's fine for a saint to be the patriarch, but you, as an uncle, are always thinking about bullying the younger generation."

"Yeah, if you were the patriarch, would you be able to do this?"

Everyone talked to each other, and then agreed to go to the most famous restaurant in the capital to have dinner together.

Zhong Hongmeng looked at their harmony, and realized belatedly that he seemed to be isolated?
