Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 166 Relatives are extremely jealous when they meet

Hearing his wife's categorical words, King Shang, who had always had little status, said, "Didn't you hear what the princess said! Why don't you go and send that kid away!"

Just as the disciple was about to leave and send Zhao Mu away, Princess Zhongxiao standing aside said, "Wait a minute!"

Hearing Princess Zhongxiao's words, the disciples stopped quickly.

Princess Zhongxiao said: "Your Highness, please calm down first. I once heard my daughter say that the Daihou has been ill in the post house since he bought the Yingguo Palace. A few days ago, my daughter even went to visit her in person, disguised as a maid in the mansion. , At that time, Shi Hou was indeed very sick and looked as pale as a dish. I think he wanted to come to visit you after he recovered. "

After hearing what Princess Zhongxiao said, Princess Shoukang asked, "Oh? How does that person look?"

The disciple replied: "But as Princess Zhongxiao said, her complexion is not good, as if she is recovering from a serious illness."

After hearing what the disciple said, Princess Shoukang's anger subsided a little.

Zhao Mu really wants to thank A'Zhu now. Girls are much more considerate than men like him.

When A'Zhu pretended to be Zhao Mu before, because Zhao Mu claimed that he was ill and refused to see guests, A'Zhu deliberately added a few strokes to the mask he was wearing, turning the mask's face into a sickly pale color. Hu Yanjin told her mother the news after she returned. However, Hu Yanjin did not tell anyone that Zhao Mu already had a sweetheart. She just said that Zhao Mu is a good person and she should consider it.

When Zhao Mu went out, he also specially decorated Zhao Mu's makeup. It made him look like he was still sick.

However, Zhao Mu's expression is not all fake. As for the reason, I have to ask Mrs. Liu.

"Did you pay homage to King Dongping after your return?" Princess Shoukang looked at the princess of Dongping County.

The princess of Dongping County replied: "Reporting to my aunt, the third uncle did not come to the door after returning, and he did not even hand over a greeting card. He also did not meet the concubine."

Princess Shoukang looked at Concubine Chai again, and Chai nodded.

Princess Shoukang sneered and said: "It seems that this boy is really sick. He didn't even see his brother-in-law and mother after he came back."

At this time, Princess Zhongxiao said: "I think it was him who bought that gloomy and haunted house. When Ying Guogong's family framed his husband's ancestors, they benefited from Master Bao's redress. Ying Guogong's conspiracy was exposed, and he joined forces with the King of Xiangyang The rebellion was finally defeated by our ancestors and the loyal ministers and righteous men of the Song Dynasty. Nearly a hundred members of the Pang family were implicated, and the house has been abandoned ever since. I really don’t know how Mrs. Zhao taught her children. She bought such a house as soon as she came back. It’s a house, so it’s no wonder he couldn’t afford to fall ill.”

At this time, Princess Zhongxiao said: "Mother-in-law, Your Royal Highness, since Xiao Mu is back and has come to mourn the crown prince, we should let him come in first."

Princess Shoukang nodded, and then ordered: "Please enter the house on your behalf."

After receiving the order, the disciples immediately went to the door to welcome Zhao Mu in.

When Zhao Mu entered the door, the doorman shouted: "On behalf of the Marquis, I come to express my condolences." After that, all the guests looked at Zhao Mu and the others.

After all, this Daihouye bought the "haunted house", and many people who had never seen him wanted to see what he looked like. And those powerful disciples who knew Zhao Mu also wanted to see how this guy was doing now.

However, Zhao Mu now makes these people jealous, jealous and hateful. Not to mention the fact that Zhao Mu brought two beautiful girls in, the "gold" he presented alone was enough to amount to ten thousand taels of silver.

After hearing this number, everyone present was surprised.

Especially Zhao Mu's relatives.

Those who came to express their condolences today include Zhao Mu's eldest brother and sister-in-law, Prince Dongping and his wife, as well as the concubine and his mistress. Zhao Mu's eldest sister, Princess Zhongxiao, and his third sister and his wife.

As for Brother Zhao Mu's family, they are far away from the capital, and they don't want to come back since they left the capital. Therefore, the princess of Dongping County sent a bailout in the name of her second son.

As for Zhao Mu's second sister, she was not a direct descendant of a concubine. In addition, the Tianbo Mansion had a clean and upright family background, and she had always disliked the Chai brothers who were guilty of many evil deeds. Therefore, after the second sister got married, not only did she have no contact with the Chai family, but after her father's death, she even had less contact with the Dongping County Prince's Palace. Therefore, he did not come to pay his respects. However, because of the relationship between Yang Yanzhao and Princess Chai back then, even though Tianbo Mansion would express condolences in person in the future, it still sent a "payment" because of their past relationship.

Princess Shoukang heard the amount of "gold" sent by Zhao Mu in the house, and asked: "Princess, when did your Lord Zhao become so rich? He first bought Yingguo for five hundred thousand taels of silver. The government is so generous now."

Concubine Chai smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, my husband was very partial when he was still alive. He treated his little lady very favorably. At that time, he gave many rare treasures given by officials from various places to their mother and son. When they left the house, I bought the Jingyuan where their mother and son lived and gave them more than 100,000 taels of silver. It is not strange for Muer to be so generous. "

At this time, Dongping King Zhao Yong, who had been sitting aside, said while drinking tea: "It seems that this boy came back this time specifically to show off to us."

Princess Zhongxiao, Zhao Mu's eldest sister Zhao Lan said at this time: "Eldest brother said this, it's a bit mean. Although Xiao Mu is a concubine, he is also our brother. What's more, you owed Xiao Mu and my mother back then. A big favor.”

Hearing that her brother was frustrated, Zhao Mu's third sister Zhao Jing said: "The eldest sister's words are really mean. You and I both know very well how my father favored their mother and son back then. And at the beginning, he had no title to inherit. It was his father-in-law, his father, and the loyal and filial prince who recommended him and got him a title. Without the care of our family members, he would be an unknown petty official. How could he be as prosperous as he is today? We I have shown my utmost kindness to the mother and son. Now that he has come back to show off to us, why can't I say a few words to him?"

When Mrs. Chai heard the quarrel between her children, she scolded: "Okay! Your father has been dead for many years, so there is no need to mention these old things. Besides, Mu'er didn't ask us for anything when he came back. , he came here today to pay his respects, so he has good intentions. When you see him later, don’t lose your etiquette! Yong’er! Especially you!”

Hearing their mother's scolding, Zhao Yong and Zhao Jing both shut their mouths. Although Zhao Lan said nothing more, she was still quite proud of herself.

They quarreled in the room, while Zhao Mu followed the red tape of funeral rituals outside, offering sacrifices, sending elegiac couplets, and offering money, completing this tedious process.

If Mu Wanqing and A'Zhu hadn't prepared in advance, they would have laughed out loud.

She now felt that Zhao Mu was so bad. He was the one who plotted Chai Qing's death, and now she came to express condolences to him. And the most important thing is the memorial written by Zhao Mu. No one paid much attention when the memorial text was recited, but if every word in the entire memorial text was read sideways, it would mean "Chai Qing died unjustly."

When A'Zhu and Mu Wanqing saw this memorial text, they both laughed until their stomachs ached.

Fortunately, Zhao Mu had everything in Zhao Mu's hands from reciting it to throwing it into the brazier, and there was nothing wrong with it. That's why it was fooled.
