Chapter 356 Two Foxes Fighting

With Mrs. Cao around, the people from Haoyueju naturally wouldn't stop them, and the group went in quickly.

The porch on the stone steps of Haoyue Residence is very wide. Originally, Xu Jialan liked to watch the stars in summer, so he specially invited craftsmen to rebuild it, but now it has become a platform.There were a few dancers and musicians sitting on each side. The guzheng was melodious, the pipa was crisp, and there was the drum. The sound of the drum made people's hearts jump.

Xu Jialan, dressed in a bright red beard, spun around in the middle of the "stage" with the fast-beating music. She smiled like a flower, and after this restraint, she became a little calmer, and there was a unique charm when she looked back.

Xu Xiaozu's old eyes, which had been dark for many days, were bright again, and he repeatedly applauded, even if Mrs. Lin was talking to him beside him, he only murmured a few times in response.

At the end of the song, Xu Jialan twisted her waist and stretched out her jade arms. The beauty at this moment was so beautiful, not to mention a man, even a woman couldn't look at it with emotion.

"Okay, when did you practice? Let me tell you, there is no one in the western capital who can compare to my Jia Lan. Jia Lan, your leg injury is healed?" Xu Xiaozu obviously rekindled hope.

"Okay, with these shoes and Mrs. Zhang teaching me, I can have everything my father saw just now." Xu Jialan pretended to see Mrs. Cao and Xu Jiatong just now, and looked over in surprise, "Grandmother, Fourth sister, these servants are really damned, they didn't report it. I was rude and didn't greet them."

"Mother." Xu Xiaozu and Mrs. Lin saluted.

Lin looked at Xu Jiatong and said with a smile: "Jiatong, you are someone who has been to palace banquets, you must have enjoyed the singing and dancing in the palace, look at your third sister's dance just now, how does it compare?"

"Why would I compare the dancer girl, the palace maid, and the third sister? Of course it's the third sister's." Xu Jiatong said with a smile, since Mrs. Lin didn't mention how Zhang Yuniang came to the mansion, she wouldn't mention it either.

"Mother, look, Jialan's legs are getting better, and her dancing posture is better than before. I was still worried about her future future, but I didn't expect that there is no need to worry about it. Without King Xiang, she can still find a noble husband-in-law." Xu Xiaozu was busy showing off, the noble family in the Western Capital would not dare to marry Xu Jialan, but who said that all the dignitaries are in the Western Capital?

Lin Shi and Xu Jialan looked at each other, with a slightly embarrassed look on their faces.Xu Jialan stepped forward and said coquettishly: "Father, if your highness is still in your daughter's heart, will your highness still have a daughter in your heart?"

Xu Xiaozu's face changed slightly: "This..."

"Jialan, you are a daughter, don't always talk about your highness, what should you say if someone overhears you?" Cao yelled dissatisfiedly in a low voice.

"Mother, you can't say that. In the past, Jialan was often by His Highness's side and brought many honors to this family. At that time, no one forbade her to mention it." Lin looked at Cao, neither soft nor hard typical.

To this day, Lin's name is not listed in the genealogy. Although she couldn't bear to kowtow to Cao to admit her mistake, she also sent things to the painting garden to flatter Cao overtly and secretly.However, the Cao family chose not to enter the family tree. After all these days, they did not mention the genealogy anymore.

Since then, the Lin family didn't bother to please her. When Xu Jialan entered the Prince Xiang's mansion, she didn't believe that the Xu family could let Princess Xiang's biological mother be a step-mother who could not be listed in the family tree.

Yes, she never wanted to talk about concubines or concubines, so what about King Xiang's concubine, the position of the concubine would be her precious daughter's sooner or later.

Mrs. Cao became a little angry, and she became rude in speaking: "That was in the past, now that the word spreads to the palace, you are not afraid of bringing death to your daughter."

"Concubine Xiang has been in the mansion for a while, and I won't say that she is not pregnant. His Highness seldom even favors her, so I won't say that. She still doesn't know how to take care of the housework. The whole palace is loose and much more. The generation of cocks and dogs. It is a matter of time for Xiang Wang to accept his side concubine. The matter of Jialan is over, and the empress dotes on Jiatong. She will never want Jiatong to have such a sister? Let's plan a plan, There will always be a turning point in this matter." Lin said unwillingly.

"Grandmother, don't worry about this matter, leave it to Erniang. The third sister is her own daughter, and she will never harm her own daughter." Xu Jiatong smiled and argued with Lin, but not with Lin. Lin is the same person?

"Jiatong, I did something wrong in the past, can you forgive me? You don't want me to kneel down and pour tea for you to make amends, do you?" Xu Jialan stepped forward with a smile.

"How come, my sister and I are a family." Xu Jiatong smiled and held her hand.

"That's right, we are all sisters, and you will never be wrong if you stick together in the future." Xu Xiaozu said.

Xu Xiaozu used to think that Xu Jiatong was not pleasing no matter what he looked at, and now he doesn't like him anymore, but with Xu Jiatong, Xu Jialan's situation will be better.Regardless of this, the embarrassment that year was considered as compensation now.

Cao's is not like Xu Jiatong, no matter what he thinks in his heart at this time, he has to follow the wishes of his father and aunt.In this mansion, the Cao family is the biggest elder, at least until the matter of the genealogy is settled, neither Xu Xiaozu nor the Lin family dared to show her face openly.

"Third girl, and you, I'd better take care of face. It's all right in the mansion now, if this dance is seen by outsiders, I'm afraid they will say that Sanya is full of teaching spirit, and lose face again. Just make trouble on your own, don't drag Jia Tong and Jia Xing down." Cao Shi said coldly.

"Grandmother, you only have the fourth sister in your heart, even the sixth sister is better than me, you just have partiality." Xu Jialan didn't dare to scold the Cao family, but such complaints are necessary.

Not only that, Xu Jialan also planned to spread the word that the grandmother Cao favored the granddaughter she brought up and suppressed her.In this way, outsiders would not be so harsh on her, and her act of framing Xu Jiatong would also become an impulsive act of being forced and mistreated.

"Be yourself, no one will be partial." Cao Shi looked over coldly, and Xu Jialan's little flame that had just jumped up was extinguished.

Lin took advantage of this opportunity and said in an aggrieved voice: "Mother, if you are not partial, you shouldn't only think about Jiatong's face, but not about our Jialan. According to this genealogy, she is still a concubine until now. My daughter, all the mistakes I made in the first half were all my fault, and I can't implicate her. If you hadn't been biased and let her be a legitimate daughter, the queen might not be so strict If we want to punish her all the time, we still have to save some face for the Marquis of Ding'an, don't we? It's not certain, the marriage between Jia Lan and His Royal Highness Xiang Wang has already been completed."

The implication of this is that if Xu Jialan was a righteous daughter-in-law, she should have been Princess Xiang long ago.And Empress Wu has always disliked Xu Jialan, because her name is not right, and it is unseemly to marry into the royal family as a concubine, so she suppressed Xu Jialan painfully.

"Shut up, you can't talk to your mother like this." After all, Xu Xiaozu was brought up by the Cao family, or he was protecting Cao's face.

"Let her talk." Cao Shi was not angry at all, with a smile on his face.

Cao continued: "When Jialan had an accident at that time, do you know what people outside said about her? They said that she was a person who was not even as good as a concubine daughter. She lacked education since she was a child, so she made mistakes. To do such a thing. How unjust it must be, you don't feel sorry for these words when they are used on your own granddaughter, do you still say that you are not partial? "

Xu Jialan also got excited, and Cao Shi wiped her tears while talking, and said with a sob: "Grandmother, mother made mistakes back then, and I also made mistakes, but that's all in the past. Now that's over, if you still If you are complaining about our mother and daughter, then it is all directed at me. I am willing to bear all the mistakes of my mother and me, and I just hope that grandma can calm down and don't feel sad when thinking about these things."

"Shut up, what do you look like?" Xu Xiaozu scolded sternly, and when he turned to face Mrs. Cao, he had to speak for their mother and daughter, "Mother, they don't speak properly, so don't take it to heart. But what they said It's also reasonable, all these mistakes are a thing of the past, if you keep holding on, it will only delay the future. It is always good for our Xu family to have a daughter with a bright future, why must there be one less? What's more, back then, there was also the fault of the son, and you have to punish the son as well."

"It's all over?" Cao sneered, "It's all over, I'm the one to say it, but such a simple truth doesn't need me to say it. Jiatong, tell me why I didn't agree to record her in the genealogy superior."

"I dare not guess what grandma is thinking." Xu Jiatong said politely.

"Then it's up to me to say, look at your daughter, this is to give you face." Cao looked at Xu Xiaozu coldly, "Jialan is one year older than Jiatong, and your first wife was you at that time. How could Jialan be your first wife, Du Shi? Think about it for yourself, who in this court straightened his concubine after losing his first wife? Not only that, but also her daughter Is it higher than the prostitute's daughter? Xiaozu, don't you want your future?"

"This...as long as you agree, after a year or two, people will forget about it, and nothing will happen." Xu Xiaozu hesitated.

Xu Jiatong pulled Xu Xiaozu from behind, and said in a soft voice: "Father, you lifted up the third sister, but ruined yourself, are you really going to do this? You ruined yourself, me, the third sister, the sixth sister, and the second mother , and the entire Xu family, how should they deal with themselves?"

Even if Xu Jialan got the title of daughter-in-law and Xu Xiaozu lost his seat, then the Ding'anhou's mansion would only be smashed lower than it is now, so what's the importance of being a daughter-in-law?

"Master, if Jialan has a good home and even becomes Princess Xiang, who would dare to do anything to you." Seeing that Xu Xiaozu was about to be persuaded again, Lin quickly "pulled" him back with one sentence.

"You woman, you have more success than failure. I don't care about other things. Let Jiatong get married first. When Jiatong has a good home, I will let you torment." Cao Shi said, if they want to be crazy, let them be crazy All right.
