Reborn eldest daughter

The distance between Taishi Mansion and Zhenbeihou Mansion is not far, nor is it close.However, after driving for about half an hour, they finally arrived at Zhenbeihou Mansion.

After arriving at Zhenbeihou's Mansion, everyone got off the carriage one after another.With the support of Longer and Shixiang, Zhao Keran slowly got off the carriage.

As soon as you get out of the carriage, you will see the gate of Zhenbeihou Mansion.At the gate, two stone lions are standing majestic and majestic, looking very majestic.There is a pair of plaques hanging above the gate, on which are the four big characters "Zhenbeihoufu". It is also like a dragon flying in the sky and moving around. It comes from nothingness and returns to the void. This impulse full of vitality contains the aura of heaven, earth, and universe.The plaque has experienced so many years of wind and frost, not only does it not look old, but it has a sense of stability accumulated over the years.

"Young Master, you are back." Upon seeing Zhao Song and the others, an old man with silver hair greeted him, "The Songbai Garden has been tidied up, and you can move in anytime."

Seeing the old man in front of him, although Zhao Song was not respectful, his tone was full of respect, "Uncle Fu, I need you to worry about it."

Fu Bo replied with a smile, "What did the young master say! These are what a slave should do."

Zhao Keran recognized this Uncle Fu immediately.This Uncle Fu is the housekeeper of the Zhenbeihou Mansion, but everyone in the Zhenbeihou Mansion dare not underestimate him.Even Zhao Song and his masters dare not offend Uncle Fu.Because this Uncle Fu is the current Marquis of Zhenbei, Zhao Song's father, Zhao Lin's most trusted person.Uncle Fu grew up with Zhao Lin. Later, after Zhao Lin became Marquis of Zhenbei, Uncle Fu became the housekeeper of the Marquis of Zhenbei.However, even though he was a subordinate in name, Zhao Lin never treated him as a subordinate, and would discuss any important matters with him.

Now, Zhao Lin has not yet chosen a successor, so no one dares to offend Uncle Fu casually.Otherwise, if Uncle Fu said a few bad things in front of Zhao Lin, he might lose his title.Therefore, for Fu Bo, everyone is very respectful.At least on the surface it is very respectful.

Soon, Uncle Fu summoned his servants and led Zhao Song and the others towards the Songbai Garden.Zhao Keran followed and walked towards the Songbai Garden.Looking at the familiar scenery along the way, Zhao Keran felt a little dazed.She hasn't been back for a long time.In her last life, until she died, her grandfather still hadn't chosen a suitable heir.Since his rebirth, this was the first time he had returned to the Zhenbeihou Mansion.Since my father became a grand teacher and went out of the branch office, I only come back a few times a year.

Along the way, all you can see are beautiful trees and luxuriant trees, with sparkling exotic flowers, and a clear stream that zigzags from the depths of the flowers and trees and flows under the crevices of the rocks.After a few more steps, it gradually goes to the north, flat and wide, with flying buildings on both sides, carved and embroidered sills, all hidden among the trees in the depression.Looking down on it, you can see the snow pouring from the clear stream, the stone steps piercing the clouds, the white stones as fences, surrounding the edge of the pool, the three stone bridges, and the mouth of the beast.And surrounded by rockery, everything looks majestic.

Looking at such a scene, Zhao Keran couldn't help sighing in his heart, no wonder both his father and his uncle wanted to be the Marquis of Zhenbei!I have to say that everything in Beihou Mansion in this town is really attractive!Just looking at how much bigger and more luxurious the Zhenbeihou's Mansion is than the Grand Master's Mansion, Zhao Keran feels that there is a reason for this.Not only that, the title of Marquis of Zhenbei and the generous salary every year are enough to make his father and uncle fight for their heads.

You must know that the position of Marquis of Zhenbei has been sealed since the founding of the country.The Marquis of Zhenbei back then was the founding hero!In the current Dali Dynasty, there are four princes, Zhongyihou, Zhenbeihou, Qin Guogong, and Zhou Guogong.These four princes occupy a very important position in the Dali Dynasty.That is the existence second only to the royal family.Although, with the passage of time, some of the four great princes have become more and more brilliant, while others have gradually declined, but until now, the four great princes are still standing, and we can know how deep these four families are. deep.

Just when Zhao Keran was thinking wildly, they had already arrived at Songbai Garden.Songbai Garden was the residence of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion before Zhao Song's branch.Every year when he came back, Zhao Song came back here to rest.

After returning to Songbai Garden, Zhao Keran took Long'er and Shixiang back to the room where he used to live here.As soon as they entered the room, Longer and Shixiang immediately started to pack their luggage.

"Miss, you are also tired after riding in the carriage for so long, why don't you go to sleep first!" Seeing Zhao Keran's tired look, Shi Xiang suggested.

Zhao Keran shook his head, "No, I'm fine, I'm going to pay my respects later, if I miss the time, it will be bad."

"That's right!" Long'er explained from the side, "Shixiang, it's your first time here, maybe you don't know much about it! After packing up, we're going to greet the old lady first. By the way, I The old lady mentioned is the master's biological mother, who is also the head mother of the Beihou Mansion in this town."

Zhao Keran took a look at Shixiang, and said, "Shixiang, when you meet my grandmother, remember to be careful, she is a very strict person, if she catches you in the wrong place, it's not good It's done, do you understand?"

Shi Xiang nodded, "Miss, don't worry, this servant knows what to do."

Zhao Keran nodded appreciatively, and she was quite relieved about Shixiang, "Shixiang, although you already know about the Zhenbeihou Mansion, I still want to tell you again, so as not to get out What's wrong. Also, Long'er, I know you know everything about the Zhenbeihou Mansion, but there are some deep-seated things that you still don't know, so you have to listen carefully, you know? ?”

Shixiang and Long'er stood aside respectfully, waiting for Zhao Keran to speak.

Zhao Keran spoke slowly, "You should already know that the current Marquis of Zhenbei is my real grandfather. My real grandmother is my grandfather's wife, but not the original wife. My grandmother is a loyal general who has sacrificed her life for the country. ——Xiao Yi, I believe you have all heard his name. He is brave and good at fighting, and the current Hussar General was also a subordinate of General Loyalty. I left my grandmother alone. Later, in order to commend the loyal general, the imperial court named my grandmother Duanmin Princess to enjoy the imperial salary and was raised in the palace. Later, I gave a marriage to my grandfather. At that time, my grandfather had not Became the Marquis of Zhenbei. But I have to say that the reason why my grandfather was able to become Marquis of Zhenbei is definitely due to my grandmother's contribution."

Speaking of this, Zhao Keran paused, took a sip of tea, and then continued, "As I said just now, my grandmother was not my grandfather's original spouse, but my grandfather's original spouse was Grandma Li. Before my grandmother married me Grandmother Li was already his grandfather's wife before his grandfather. But for the sake of the title, she did not dare to disobey the imperial decree. Therefore, Grandmother Li changed from a regular wife to an ordinary wife. People in the mansion will respectfully call her Mrs. Li. But, no matter No matter how you say it, it’s definitely not as good as my grandmother’s status. In addition to the main wife and the peace wife, my grandfather also has a concubine—Gao Shi, but Gao Shi has passed away a few years ago. So, now There are only two decent hostesses in the Zhenbeihou Mansion, my grandmother and Grandma Li. But don't underestimate these two women, their methods are very powerful."

"Really?" Long'er who was at the side couldn't help but said, "I think the old lady is actually quite kind, and she is also very kind to the young lady!"

Hearing Long'er's words, Zhao Keran smiled slightly, "Long'er, it seems that your experience is not enough. Let me tell you! Grandmother actually prefers cute people in her heart, can you see that?"

"What?" Long'er felt very strange, "But, this servant feels that the old lady treats every junior equally!"

Zhao Keran smiled and shook his head, "Okay, it doesn't matter whether you see it or not, you all have to remember to be careful in everything."

"My maidservant would like to follow Miss's instructions." Shi Xiang and Long Er replied in unison after saluting.

Zhao Keran nodded and continued, "Grandmother only has one son, father. Grandmother Li gave birth to her second uncle and her fourth aunt. My concubine Shu. I also have a third uncle and a fifth aunt. They are all born of the Gao family. My father and second uncle are the only legitimate sons of my grandfather, and now they are the two who are fighting for the title. Because the third uncle was born in a concubine's room, and his nature is gentle and cowardly, so he is destined to miss the title. The situation in Zhenbeihoufu is not as simple as I said, I just tell you the general situation, in short, no matter what All good, you must be careful in everything here. You must know that the pool of water in Zhenbeihou's Mansion is definitely not shallower than that in Taishi's Mansion, do you understand?"

After hearing Zhao Keran's narration, Long'er and Shixiang nodded very cautiously, expressing that they had listened to it and would definitely be careful.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Zhao Keran called out.

Soon, a servant girl came in, "Miss Sun, the young master and the young lady are all ready, and they are going to pay their respects to the lady. They asked me to come and greet you."

"Okay, I see, I'll be right there."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Keran turned his head and looked at Shixiang and Long'er, "I'm going to pay my respects to grandma now. It's inconvenient to take you with me, so you can stay in the room!"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Then I'll leave first." Zhao Keran ordered, "You also absolutely must not run around. Although everyone is still not here, it's better to stay in the room."

After speaking, Zhao Keran left the room.

As soon as he went out, Zhao Keran saw that Zhao Song, Qin Xianghe, and Zhao Keren were already waiting there, and even Zhao Kefeng had arrived.

Seeing Zhao Keran, Zhao Keren frowned slightly, but soon put on a smile again, "Sister, why are you so late! We have been waiting for you for a long time." 13acv.

Hearing Zhao Keren's question, a trace of sarcasm flashed in Zhao Keran's eyes, Zhao Keren was saying that he asked his parents to wait, such behavior is not good!

The teacher and he couldn't agree.Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Keren's words, Qin Xianghe frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.In fact, Qin Xianghe's dissatisfaction with Zhao Keran is definitely not unique today. Since Zhao Keran helped Zhao Ying, causing Zhao Keren to be grounded, and what Zhao Keran did at the birthday banquet, she has already had a heart for Zhao Keran. I am dissatisfied with my life.Therefore, when Zhao Keren said that Zhao Keran was not good, her dissatisfaction would emerge.Zhao Keren is naturally very aware of this, so he keeps saying such things intentionally or unintentionally.

However, Zhao Keran is already very calm now. For Zhao Keren's provocation and Qin Xianghe's dissatisfaction, she just pretended not to see, smiled slightly, and made a false courtesy, "It's all possible faults. I want my parents to be here." Wait here."

"Okay, now that you're here, let's go!" Zhao Song didn't blame Zhao Keran too much.

Firstly, he felt that Zhao Keran seemed to have become more sensible and smart recently, secondly, he already knew what happened at the birthday banquet, and he also knew about Zhao Keran's performance.Therefore, even if Zhao Keran is not as good as Zhao Keren, it might not be a good bargaining chip in the future.As for those who may be helpful to him in the future, Zhao Song has always been relatively indulgent.In addition, Zhao Keran didn't make a big mistake, but he was just a little late, so Zhao Song wouldn't bother with her.

Zhao Keren was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhao Song's actions, but he absolutely did not dare to show it on his face.

Soon, Zhao Song led them to Lingyu Pavilion, the residence of Xiao Ling, Mrs. Zhenbeihou.As soon as she entered the Lingyu Pavilion, Zhao Keran saw her grandmother sitting on it, looking at them kindly.

After entering the door, Zhao Song and Qin Xianghe knelt down first. "Son (daughter-in-law) pays respects to mother, wishing mother a long and healthy life."

Seeing Zhao Song and Qin Xianghe, Xiao Ling looked at them lovingly, "Okay, we are all a family, what are you doing with these vain rituals, sit down quickly."

After Zhao Song and Qin Xianghe were seated, Zhao Keran, Zhao Keran and Zhao Kefeng also stepped forward, knelt down, and said in unison,

"Granddaughter Zhao Keran pays her respects to her grandmother, wishing her a long life and good health."

"Granddaughter Zhao Keren pays her respects to her grandmother, wishing her a long life and good health."

"Grandson Zhao Kefeng pays respects to grandma, wishing grandma a long life and good health."

Seeing his grandchildren, Xiao Ling seemed very happy, "Alright, alright, all of you, get up quickly. Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you've grown up so much."

Soon, the three of them stood up.

After they all stood up, Xiao Ling quickly waved, "Come on, come here, let grandma take a good look at you."

Zhao Keran, Zhao Keren and Zhao Kefeng walked over as promised.

Looking at the old woman with gray hair and a kind smile on her face, although Zhao Keran had a smile on her face, she was sneering in her heart.This grandmother of mine is not an ordinary person. People who grew up in the palace will definitely not be ignorant, and their methods are absolutely impossible to guard against.If she was really so kind and kind, then how could she have survived in this Hou's mansion for so long, and her status could not fall down.If it was really just relying on her status as princess, then she would have no way to keep her seat.

Others may not understand, but Zhao Keran is very clear that in the eyes of her grandmother, the most important person is her father, because her father is her support for the rest of her life.She prefers Zhao Keren because of Zhao Keren's talent and appearance, as well as the benefits she may bring to her father.She loves Zhao Kefeng because Zhao Kefeng is his father's only son and heir.And her own granddaughter, who is more inadequate than the best, probably really has no use value in her eyes!Therefore, even though he loved her very much on the surface, there was no trace of love in his eyes.

I used to be stupid, I always thought that my grandmother loved me, and I was very happy for this!However, since that incident, she has known what her grandmother really thinks.So, seeing his grandmother looking at him kindly now, Zhao Keran just felt hypocritical.

Sure enough, as soon as they came forward, Xiao Ling took Zhao Keren's hand first, "Keren is really getting longer and more beautiful, and she will definitely be a great beauty in the future."

Hearing Xiao Ling's praise, Zhao Keren's eyes flashed with pride, but he said coquettishly, "Grandma, you are a great beauty! I just look like you, that's why I am a great beauty! "

Hearing Zhao Keren's words, Xiao Ling smiled happily, "What are you talking about! I'm already over half a hundred years old, so how can I talk about beauty or not?"

However, even though she said so, the smile on her face was absolutely real. It can be seen that no matter whether a woman is eight years old or 80 years old, she would like to hear others praise herself.

Zhao Keren was clearly aware of this, so he continued, "Grandma, what I said is true, I didn't lie to you. I really think you are a great beauty."

Hearing Zhao Keren's words, Xiao Ling smiled even brighter, "Keren! Your little mouth is really sweet!"

Hearing Xiao Ling's praise, Zhao Keren gave Zhao Keran a provocative look.But for Zhao Keren's provocation, Zhao Keran didn't feel the slightest, just smiled lightly.Seeing Zhao Keran's expression, Zhao Keren felt as if his fist was hitting the cotton, feeling very powerless and unwilling.

After praising Zhao Keren, Xiao Ling turned his head again, and said several words to Zhao Keran and Zhao Kefeng, but obviously he didn't have the same feeling when he looked at Zhao Keren just now.

After talking with them, Xiao Lingyou talked to Zhao Song and the others for a while, and then said, "It's been so long, and I'm a little tired, you all go back to rest first! By the way, Song'er, you stay here, I still have something to talk to you about."

Soon, Qin Xianghe took Zhao Keran and they left first, leaving only Xiao Ling, mother and son in the hall.

Seeing that everyone had left, the smile on Xiao Ling's face also disappeared, "Song'er, let me ask you, what happened to Keren's marriage?"

In fact, when the incident between Zhao Keran, Zhao Keren, and Lin Xiran happened, Xiao Ling was praying in Wan'an Temple and lived there for a long time, so he didn't understand the ins and outs of this incident at all.By the time she knew it, Keren was already engaged to Lin Xiran.

Hearing Xiao Ling's question, Zhao Song hurriedly told the whole story in detail before he said, "Mother, I actually have no choice! You know, at that time, things had already spread like this , if it is not dealt with properly, that lovely person's reputation will be ruined."

"Nonsense!" After listening to Zhao Song's words, Xiao Ling patted the table, "Do you know what you are doing!"

Hearing Xiao Ling's scolding, Zhao Song was puzzled, "Mother, I was thinking of Ke Ren!"

Hearing Zhao Song's justification, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sighed, "Do you know that I originally planned to let Keren marry into the royal family! You messed up all my plans by doing this."

"What!" After hearing Xiao Ling's words, Zhao Song was taken aback, "Mother, what you said is true."

Xiao Ling sighed, "Actually, you also know that Ke Ran's appearance and talents are not outstanding, but fortunately, she has already arranged this marriage before she was born. As for Keren, whether it is appearance or Talent and learning are absolutely outstanding. So, I plan, when she is a little older, I will help her find a better marriage, that is to marry into the royal family, which is the best for your future Yes, but, I didn't expect that things would turn out like this. According to my original plan, it would be the best for your future to marry into the Zhongyihou Mansion, but I didn't expect that It will become what it is now.”

After hearing Xiao Ling's words, Zhao Song regretted it too much, "I, I don't know. If I knew, I would never have done that."

"Ah—" Xiao Ling was helpless, "Forget it, anyway, things are already like this, so there is no other way. I have to make other plans. By the way, I heard that your concubine, Mrs. Liu, is pregnant Is it?"

Zhao Song nodded.

Xiao Ling continued, "That's just a singing girl. Even if she really gave birth to a boy, it's not of noble blood. The most important thing for you now is to cultivate Feng'er well, he is your heir."

"A son obeys his mother's instruction."

"Okay, I'm really tired, so I'll go back to rest first. You should go back and have a rest too! You are the first to arrive, and the others haven't come yet. You should also take a good rest these few days!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ling left, and only Zhao Song was left there with regrets.
