Lucky Star Gao Zhao

Chapter 636

After breakfast the next day, Princess Pingwu and his wife took their son and daughter-in-law to the family relative Wu's house.

The ancestral house in Wujiajing is in the south of the city, a very large house.

The gate showed a kind of simplicity, and two housekeepers and two women were waiting at the gate.

Gao Zhao looked at the relationship table last night. The Wu family is 65 years old, and the Empress Dowager Jian'an is his cousin.A nephew of the Empress Dowager Jian'an has passed away long ago, and the three nephews and grandchildren still live in the ancestral house, and the highest rank is only the sixth rank.

One generation of emperors and one generation of ministers, one generation of queens is also a generation of prosperity.

Concubine Wu is of high seniority, he is the cousin of Empress Dowager Jian'an, and the current patriarch calls him uncle Congtang.

Therefore, Gao Zhao and his wife are of the same generation as the white-haired patriarch.

Walking into the lobby of the front yard, patriarch Wu led a group of middle-aged men to greet him at the door.

Patriarch Wu stepped forward a few steps, bowed and said: "Uncle Tang, Your Royal Highness, I welcome you from afar."

Prince Wu stretched out his hand to help him up, "Patriarch, you don't have to be polite, bring your children here today to recognize relatives, the whole family doesn't have to do this."

"Please come in."

After entering the house, the son-in-law and the princess took their seats, and Wu Changliang and Gao Zhao stood beside them.

Patriarch Wu led the group of people who came in to salute and greet them again.

"Patriarch, you sit down too, it won't be over for a while, isn't the patriarch's legs bad? Standing is too hard."

The patriarch backed down for a long time, and Concubine Wu directly ordered his servants to move him a square chair. Even though he was sitting, he didn't sit firmly. He leaned forward, holding on to the armrest to keep his balance.

Then Wu Changliang and Gao Zhao greeted the patriarch and called him cousin, and the patriarch gave a greeting.

Wu Changliang and Gao Zhao sat down, and a group of middle-aged people saluted the two of them, calling them Tang Shu Tang Aunt.

Gao Zhao felt awkward, the middle-aged people stood on both sides after saluting, and a group of young people came in outside the door, calling the princess couple great-uncles and great-uncles, and Wu Changliang and Gao Zhao as uncles and great-uncles.

There are also a dozen or so of the younger generation. According to the introduction, those present today are all descendants, and Gao Zhao didn't remember any of them.

Later, a middle-aged man said that the female relatives were in another large courtyard and were going to greet the princess.

A servant came and led the princess's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the other side. An old woman and a group of women were waiting at the door.

It was Wu Mengshi, the patriarch's wife, her hair was black and shiny, but the creases on her face could be seen to be over sixty.

After entering the room and sitting down, Wu Mengshi greeted the princess first, and Gao Zhao greeted her.

Then it was the same as before, a group of middle-aged women, a group of young women, and nearly ten young ladies.

They all looked at Gao Zhao secretly. Gao Zhao looked at the one who was about her age and called her uncle and grandmother, and kept smiling without complaining.

It's not that she recognizes relatives, it's her showing that others can remember her, Gao Zhao is the one who doesn't.

No, I just remembered the patriarch's wife, there is no gray hair at such an age, and there was no hair dye cream in ancient times, I really want to ask what to eat to prevent gray hair.

Princess Pingwu talked to Wu Mengshi and asked about the situation in the clan. Gao Zhao thought that her mother-in-law might only be familiar with the wife of the patriarch, and she spoke directly to the others without calling them by name.

Everyone is respectful.

At this time there was noise at the door, everyone looked at the door, Wu Mengshi was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked her eldest daughter-in-law to go out.

Gao Zhao saw a woman with an angry face, the other women all glanced at her and then hurriedly avoided.

Princess Pingwu was displeased, knowing that it was a domestic matter of the clan, she was not comfortable asking about it.

Gao Zhao remembered that the person introduced just now was the Empress Dowager Jian'an's great-nephew and daughter-in-law Wu Wangshi. If the nephew of the Empress Dowager Jian'an was alive, the patriarch might be this branch.

Wu Mengshi saw Princess Pingwu's face darkened, and quickly apologized with a smile: "A girl hit a teacup, which made His Highness laugh."

Princess Pingwu didn't expose her reasons, how could such a handy servant be assigned to the front yard today.

Just as Wu Mengshi was about to find a way to talk, she heard a shrill female voice outside: "I beg the princess to save my brother."

Princess Pingwu was about to hold the teacup, but put it down with a bang.

"Bring it in!"

Wu Wang's face turned pale at this moment, and he knelt down and said: "Your Highness, the ignorant concubine in the nephew's granddaughter-in-law's house is making trouble, I will go and dismiss it."

The patriarch's wife stared at Wu Wangshi angrily. Princess Pingwu didn't want to take care of other people's family affairs at first.

I remembered that when I was a child, a concubine once said this to her, saying that she was just a concubine princess who was ignorant and arrogant.

Princess Pingwu said coldly: "Bring it in! I want to see how ignorant a concubine she is!"

"Your Highness will make amends, and the nephew and granddaughter-in-law will handle it by themselves."

Nanny Zhou, who was standing behind Princess Pingwu, walked out of the door and shouted, "Bring it in!"

Wu Mengshi didn't dare to sit down, so she got up and stood beside her, looking at Wu Wangshi, she was angry and resentful, and said in her heart that she deserved it, why don't she say that this is a matter of her own courtyard, something that others can't control.

Princess Pingwu seldom comes to the clan, but it happened that something happened in her courtyard when she came today.

Relying on the fact that her house is the emperor's nephew, the Wu Wang family never paid attention to the patriarch's.

The one who came in was a little lady of thirteen or fourteen, dressed in servant clothes, her eyes were full of grief and anger.

She knelt down and kowtowed, then raised her head and said, "Your Highness, please save my brother. My brother is dying. My mother said that I am too delicate, so I can eat two meals. Ask a doctor."

Wu Wangshi knelt and turned her face and said angrily: "Nonsense! He invited the doctor, but he didn't drink the medicine himself. How did I treat you badly as a aunt? I gave you clothes, just like your aunt. Raise you to become white-eyed wolves!"

Princess Pingwu glanced at Nanny Zhou, and Nanny Zhou stepped back, went out and said to a daughter-in-law in charge, "Go see the patient first."

Wu Wangshi turned around, knelt down and kowtowed to the princess. When she raised her head, her face was full of tears.

"His Royal Highness, she is talking nonsense. There are three aunts, two concubines, and three concubine daughters in the niece and granddaughter-in-law's courtyard. The nephew and granddaughter-in-law have never been treated harshly, and Mu Niang is talking nonsense."

Gao Zhao paid attention to that Mu Niang, she didn't refute a word.

Kneeling straight, her body is thin, but not weak.There were tears in his eyes, his expression was stubborn, and he had the kind of resoluteness to die.

Princess Pingwu said coldly: "Everyone back down."

Mu Niang kowtowed and went out to kneel in the courtyard. The people in the clan house hurried out, but no one dared to speak or wink at each other.

Wu Mengshi pulled Wu Wangshi up and pushed her out.

"Meng Shi, you stay here." Ping Wu called to stop the patriarch's wife.

When she came back, she would not dare to sit down, but stood bowed.

"Tell me."

"Wu Wang's is the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest family. She even gave birth to three children as daughters. She took the eldest son from the concubine's family to raise her. Five years later, she gave birth to the eldest son and returned the concubine to the concubine. After that...after this... ..."

Wu Mengshi can't go on, which proves that she knows what Wu Wangshi did.

Gao Zhao understood that after the concubine's wife had her own son, she treated the eldest son of the concubine who was raised by her side harshly, and the concubine's daughter boldly begged the princess today.

And the people in the clan know that they let the Wu Wang family do what they want.
