Reborn eldest daughter

Zhao Keran lived in Zhenbeihou's residence.On the first day she lived here, Zhao Keran asked Shixiang to come to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to serve her.Zhao Lin also agreed to this matter.

In the past few days, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion has been very busy.In order to prepare for the ancestor worship, no matter whether it was Zhao Lin, Xiao Ling or Li Fei'er, they were all very busy.

Although very busy, Li Fei'er was very happy, because Zhao Keping's marriage had already been settled.And it's the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, although it's not as good as marrying into the royal family, it's still a very good marriage.She is also very satisfied in her heart.

"Hehehe." Hearing Zhao Keran mention Zhao Kefeng, Zhao Lin seemed to be in a good mood, "Yeah! Feng'er has been smart since he was a child, and he will definitely pass the general examination this time. Back then, he passed the provincial examination once. Yes, and he won No.1, so he really deserves to be the grandson of our Zhao family!"

Looking at Zhao Lin's eyes on him, Zhao Keran smiled calmly, and said, "Grandfather, you're being serious, and you know that I'm just a junior, so how can I give any advice!"

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, Zhao Lin didn't say anything.

He really didn't expect that his granddaughter could see through this point.I'm afraid even Zhao Song and the others should think that the reason why they are angry is because they did that thing.But, in the final analysis, the reason for his anger is that they dragged Zhenbei Mansion into it.

After leaving the room, Zhao Keran let out a long breath of relief.It seems that although my grandfather is old, he is still very vigilant and witty!With just a few words of his own, he almost guessed his purpose.However, fortunately, he was calm enough.Otherwise, it would probably be a real mess!

In the study, Zhao Lin and Zhao Keran were both sitting on chairs, but neither of them spoke first.Both of them were drinking tea, but neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was very peaceful, as if the two of them had nothing to talk about, but simply came here to drink tea.

Zhao Keran definitely did not call Shixiang to his side just to ask her to serve him.If it was really just someone who needed to be served, then she wouldn't have to spend so much trouble.She called Shixiang to protect herself. After all, the Zhenbeihou Mansion is not absolutely safe now.With my current status, there are quite a few people who are jealous!Of course, there is another reason, that is, she also needs someone to help her.Because there are some things she can't do by herself.

"Really?" Zhao Keran narrowed his eyes, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, "From what you said, it seems that I really misunderstood my second uncle before. What kind of person is he? ? I'm really interested in this point!"

"What kind of person?" After hearing Shixiang's question, Zhao Keran frowned and thought for a while, "Actually speaking, I don't know this second uncle very well. All I know is that back then, he insisted on Married to the Zhou family, which is my current second aunt. At the beginning, no matter whether it was Li's grandmother or grandfather, they were very opposed to it. It was only later that there was no way to let the second aunt in. There is also the strangest thing One point is, for so many years, although he had many concubines, there were only two children, Zhao Keli and Zhao Keping, both of whom were born to the Zhou family. However, for so many years, he valued power very much and always He and my father are competing for the position of Marquis of Zhenbei. However, I still admit one thing, that is, he is indeed much more capable than my father."

When Zhao Keran was speaking, Zhao Lin kept looking at her with very sharp eyes, but Zhao Keran didn't dodge Zhao Lin's stealthy look, and faced it very calmly.

Where Zhao Lin didn't notice, Zhao Keran's mouth curled into a smile.That's right, everything she said and said would definitely not be casual.She said this to pave the way for the future.Only when the grandfather realizes that he needs to find someone to check and balance the mother, the affairs of Aunt Sun will go smoothly in the future.

"Oh, so you mean that they didn't do anything wrong, don't you?"

"You mean that Zhao Yong has done so much just for Zhao Keping." Zhao Keran felt a little funny about Shixiang's explanation, "Yes, I know that he loves Zhao Keping, but it's really Is it useful? If it turns out that Lin Xiran is not a good man, won't he let Zhao Keping marry Lin Xiran?"

However, although the ancestor worship was over, Zhao Keran still had to stay in Zhenbeihou's mansion for a few days.On this day, after lunch, Zhao Lin called Zhao Keran to the study, saying that he had something to talk to her about.

"What?" Zhao Keran frowned, "What did he do? Now that Zhao Keping and Lin Xiran are about to get engaged, shouldn't he be very happy? This matter is definitely a big deal for him. Little good news, what else does he want to do!"

After arriving at the family temple, Zhao Keran inevitably thought of Zhao Ying who was sent to the family temple.However, she also knew very well that it was impossible for her to see Zhao Ying.Because, although they are all family temples, the place where sacrifices are made will definitely not be the same as the place where the person who was punished to come to the family temple is.

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, Zhao Lin was secretly surprised, because Zhao Keran's analysis was very thorough.In fact, to be honest, the reason why he was angry about this matter was not because Zhao Song framed Lin Xiran in this way, but because his actions involved the entire Zhenbeihou Mansion, which he could not tolerate .

"What exactly does he want to do!" Zhao Keran was very puzzled by Zhao Yong's actions, "What exactly is he trying to do by investigating Lin Xiran! What is his purpose? Such a development is so beneficial to him. What else does he want to do!"

After thinking about it, Shixiang said very carefully, "Miss, I think Zhao Yong did not do this for anything, but for Zhao Keping. After all, Zhao Keping and Lin Xiran have already made a marriage contract. He wants The purpose of investigating Lin Xiran is probably to find out what kind of person my future son-in-law is."

After several days of preparation, it finally came to the day of worshiping the ancestors.This morning, before dawn, everyone was about to get up. After a series of bathing and changing clothes, Zhao Lin led the people who participated in the ancestor worship to the family temple and began to worship the ancestors. .

In the next few days, Zhao Keran still lived in the Zhenbeihou Mansion, but Zhao Lin never chatted with Zhao Keran alone again.

Zhao Lin had no choice but to face up to his granddaughter, "Then what role do you think your mother is playing in this matter?"

After a long while, Zhao Lin withdrew his eyes and said lightly, "Of course, I'm a little tired too, you should go back first!"

"Yes!" Zhao Keran said with a smile as if he didn't notice Zhao Lin's words, "Aunt Sun is indeed a blessed one. You see, she gave birth to my father's only son these years. Feng'er is still so smart .Her natal family is getting more and more promising. It's just a pity!"

"Miss, have you ever thought that your understanding of Zhao Yong may be a little incorrect over the years!" After thinking about it, Shixiang said, "From my observation, he seems to be He is very keen on power, but he doesn't seem very happy about Zhao Keping's marriage contract that can obviously bring him benefits."

"Grandfather, I really shouldn't talk about my parents' affairs, but you also said that today is just a chat between our grandparents and grandchildren, so I will say it." Zhao Keran raised the corner of his mouth and continued, "Actually , I think this matter should be arranged by my mother. Of course, we don't know who made the idea of ​​this matter, but father should not interfere in such a matter, but no one is like this Therefore, the perpetrator of this matter should be Niangqin, but she has done so much, it must be for the sake of being pleasing!"

Facing the serious old man in front of him, Zhao Keran didn't feel any disturbance in his heart.She didn't know why her grandfather called her here today, but since he didn't speak, there was no need for her to speak.If there was something really urgent, he wouldn't be so leisurely.

"Miss, you don't know something." Shi Xiang said, "In the past few days, Zhao Yong has been sending people to secretly investigate Lin Xiran, and the matter that he beat Zhao Keren for a brothel girl. He The investigation was very detailed, but it's okay, Miss, you have kept me on the lookout, otherwise, the things that Zhao Keren and the others designed before will probably be found out."

Zhao Lin looked at Zhao Keran with sharp, probing eyes, and when he saw that Zhao Keran had no intention of dodging his gaze, he was even more shocked.

"Grandfather, you don't know!" Zhao Keran explained with a smile, "Before when I met King Xu, he told me that the Minister of Rites is already old, and he will probably return home soon. .Then the seat of Minister of Rites will be vacant? Aunt Sun's eldest brother is capable, and when the time comes—"

You can live in Li. "Yes! Because no one can suppress her." Zhao Lin muttered to himself, as if he was talking to Zhao Keran, but he seemed to be talking to himself.

"Yes! At that time, it will really be a great event!" Zhao Keran said with a smile, "Feng'er has been working hard to prepare recently! There is still a year to go, when the time comes, I believe he will definitely get It's even more glorious. In addition, at that time, with the help of your grandfather and Aunt Sun's mother's family, Feng'er will definitely have a bright future."

Looking at Zhao Keran who has been very calm all this time, Zhao Lin felt very shocked in his heart.Sometimes, he wondered in his heart, is this person in front of him really his granddaughter Zhao Keran?In the past, he never paid attention to this granddaughter.Because in the past, this granddaughter really had no sense of existence.He kept his head down at all times, not even daring to meet his gaze.Originally, I didn't pay much attention to Zhao Keran.However, after such a series of things happened, for some reason, he just wanted to have a good chat with this granddaughter.

"Yes! Grandfather, your memory is really good." Zhao Keran nodded, "That's right, Aunt Sun's eldest brother is an official in the Ministry of Rites, and he is now the Minister of Rites, but after a while, then I no longer know."

"Well, since you have already asked, grandfather, then I will tell the truth." Zhao Keran said with a smile, "Grandfather, this matter is indeed our fault first. However, it is reasonable for parents to do this. Original."

"No, miss, you misunderstood." Shi Xiang explained, "Zhao Yong has indeed done a lot of things, but it seems that they are all for Zhao Keping."

After hearing Zhao Keran's question, Shixiang nodded, "Although it is generally calm, there will still be some abnormal situations. In the past few days, Mrs. Li has not done anything. However, miss, your second uncle seems to have done a lot of things behind the scenes, but these things have nothing to do with you."

Because, I don't know when did this granddaughter become so outstanding?Not only was she named princess by the emperor without making a sound, but also, at the concubine selection banquet, she even defeated Qin Yimiao, the most talented woman in the capital, and won the title of the most talented woman in the world.Zhao Keran is no longer the unknown little girl she was before.Now, whenever everyone mentions Zhao Keran, they will think of her world-renowned talent.

"It seems that this Mrs. Sun is really blessed!" Zhao Lin narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully.

Zhao Lin is very satisfied with Zhao Kefeng's grandson, otherwise he wouldn't have given him so many exceptions.Especially the talent that Zhao Kefeng showed since he was a child made Zhao Lin even more interested in this grandson.

Zhao Lin's tone was calm, and he didn't seem to have any intention of blaming.But Zhao Keran knew that his grandfather already believed that his parents were at fault for this matter, and if he said that they were not at fault at this time, he would be very unhappy.

"What?" After hearing Shixiang's words, Zhao Keran was taken aback. She had never thought about this possibility.

"No, I didn't say that." Zhao Keran shook his head with a smile, "They did this for Ke Ren, I know that, after all, at that time, Ke Ren had already fallen in love with His Highness the Crown Prince, so they wanted to break off the engagement That is understandable. After all, people go to high places, and water flows to low places! However, their approach is indeed wrong, because it will put our Zhenbeihou Mansion in danger."

"What a pity?" Zhao Lin couldn't help asking.

However, compared to Li Fei'er's happiness, Xiao Ling was very upset these days.Neither her son nor daughter-in-law could participate in this ancestor worship. Isn't this obviously ostracizing them?But, fortunately, only this time.Now, what worries her most in her heart is the lovely thing.She really wanted to know what happened to make Lord Hou so angry and expel Keren.But, fortunately, Keran is still here, which means that Song'er still has a chance.However, in the past few days, she has approached Keran several times, just to ask what happened that day, but Keran still refuses to say it.So, in the end, things had to be left alone.

Not many people participated in the ancestor worship this time, only Zhao Lin, Xiao Ling, Li Fei'er, Zhao Yong's family and Zhao Keran.But only they are eligible to participate.

The time for ancestor worship is very long. After going through a series of steps, Zhao Keran felt that he was going to be exhausted.Finally, after more than half a day, the ancestor worship was really completed, and everyone went back home.

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, a light flashed in Zhao Lin's eyes.He looked at Zhao Keran thoughtfully, "Keran, it seems that you and Mrs. Sun seem to have a good relationship!"

After staying in Zhenbeihou's Mansion for several days, Zhao Keran was about to leave for Taishi's Mansion.Not only Zhao Keran, but everyone else will also leave Zhenbei Hou Mansion.On this morning, after finishing his breakfast, Zhao Keran had already boarded the carriage home.

In addition to Zhao Keran, there is also Shixiang in the carriage.In the past few days, Shixiang has been waiting by Zhao Keran's side. 13acv.

"Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is that right?" Zhao Lin narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhao Keran, and asked suspiciously, "Keran, what do you mean? Why don't you know after a while? "

"Hey! Mother's temperament should be suppressed or balanced by someone, but unfortunately there is no one. Father only has mother as his wife. No wonder mother is so confident. If father has a wife like grandfather you , a flat wife, just like grandma and grandma Li, that's fine."

"However, I asked you to come in today because I want to ask you something." Zhao Lin still couldn't help but speak first, "You also know about the matter of Marquis Zhongyi last time, so just tell me about it." opinion!"

"During the past few days, is there anything unusual in Zhenbei Hou Mansion?" Zhao Keran asked.

"Sun's natal family?" Hearing Zhao Keran mentioning Aunt Sun, Zhao Lin frowned and thought about it, "By the way, I remember Sun's brother seems to be an official in the Ministry of Rites, isn't it?"

"Grandfather, you should still remember!" Zhao Keran said with a smile, "Next year, Feng'er will take part in the general examination. According to his ability, he will definitely be able to successfully pass the palace test, don't you think so?"

Zhao Keran was just joking, but unexpectedly, Shi Xiang nodded seriously, "That's right, miss, this possibility is very high. Miss, you don't know, didn't Zhao Keping fail in the concubine selection banquet before?" After that, Mrs. Li and Zhao Yong were looking for a marriage for Zhao Keping. I have already investigated this matter, Zhao Yong is not looking for someone with a prominent family background, they are all honest and honest people, and their family background is not special He is prominent, but the man has a very good temper. I think he just wanted to find a more ordinary family for Zhao Keping, so that Zhao Keping would not suffer in the future. It's just a pity that this matter was interrupted."

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, Zhao Lin seemed to be lost in thought.

After Zhao Keran glanced at Zhao Lin without a trace, he continued to speak, "However, I still have to say that mother is so courageous that she dared to do such a thing. However, it's no wonder, mother No matter before or after marriage, no one dared to disobey her, that's why this result happened."

"Oh——" Zhao Keran sighed, "I just feel sorry for Aunt Sun, according to Aunt Sun's current family background, there is absolutely no need to be a concubine, and being a decent official wife is more than enough. If it wasn't for her family's downfall, she wouldn't be just a concubine now."

Zhao Keran's words stopped abruptly, but even if she didn't finish speaking, Zhao Lin already understood what she meant.

When Zhao Keran said these words, he seemed very careless, as if he was talking to himself.However, Zhao Lin listened to what she said, and seemed to be thinking about something thoughtfully.

"Miss, let me ask you, what kind of person is Zhao Yong in your eyes?"

"Really?" After hearing Zhao Keran's answer, Zhao Lin did not express any opinion, but looked at Zhao Keran with a half-smile, "I know you are a junior, but this matter is just a chat between our grandparents and grandchildren. , you don’t need to have any scruples, just speak out what’s in your heart.”

After a while, Zhao Keran smiled and said, "Okay, grandfather, it doesn't matter who was right or wrong in the previous incident, it doesn't matter anymore. What we need to focus on now is the future." Let him pass the past."

Facing Zhao Lin's probing gaze, Zhao Keran smiled very calmly, "Really? To be honest, Aunt Sun is indeed a very nice person. Although my relationship with her can't be called close, it can be considered a good relationship! However, my relationship with Feng'er is pretty good."

"What? For Zhao Keping." After hearing Shixiang's answer, Zhao Keran became even more confused, "Zhao Keping's marriage has been settled, what else does he want to do!"

After hearing Zhao Lin's order, Zhao Keran quickly left the study.Zhao Lin, who was left alone in the study, fell into deep thought.

"Miss, do you need me to do anything?" Shi Xiang took the initiative to ask.

"Yes." Zhao Keran's eyes were full of interest, "Shixiang, you should check everything about my second uncle's family for me, and don't leave anything behind. I really want to know what he thinks in his heart. By the way, especially the matter of the heir, check it out for me in detail."

"Got it, miss."
