food color and fragrance

Chapter 266
Although Zhong Xingqi knew that Zhong Xinglian deliberately provoked the relationship between him and Zhong Xingyan, he still had some resentment in his heart when he said these words.

Being able to be summoned by Emperor Chonghua in person, and alone, is one of the few officials in the current dynasty.

Even though Zhong Xingqi knew that he was inferior to Zhong Xingyan's status, his heart was still unbalanced.

Could it be that because he is the son of the Zhong family concubine, he is nothing compared to Zhong Xingyan, let alone being looked down upon by others?

After he was five years old, he followed his father to practice martial arts, and when he grew up, he followed him in every battle. He killed no less people than Zhong Xingyan, so why should he always be inferior to Zhong Xingyan?Just because of the word "concubine out"?
Zhong Xingqi snorted coldly, although he didn't say anything more, his dissatisfaction had been captured by Zhong Xinglian.

Zhong Xinglian shook his head bitterly, "I didn't expect that you didn't know, third brother, you thought... oh, forget it, let's see if the fourth child is willing to talk about it. Why do you bring this up after Chinese New Year? Blame me, all blame me."

"It's really your fault, you insist on bringing up such a disgusting thing to add to your heart!" Zhong Xingqi stretched out his arms, drinking tea, and Zhong Xinglian, who was overwhelmed by a word, had nothing to say.

But Zhong Xinglian was not disappointed in his heart, because he had already seen the discontent in Zhong Xingqi's heart.

As long as he can have a gap with the fourth heart, he will win...

The two were silent for a while, and Zhong Xinglian tentatively opened his mouth again, "Now that you and the fourth child are reconciled as before, I am also happy as an older brother, but you must not only take care of yourself, but also take care of your wife in the house. Child, you are impatient, but don't think I'm discouraged when I speak, and after fighting for merits, I came back to see my family... Can you feel better?"

Zhong Xingqi half-raised his eyebrows, "Second brother can rest assured about this matter, as long as you take good care of the people in the second room, let them avoid running around in my yard if they have nothing to do, and my yard will be clean."

"You... All right, all right, I'll take care of my own people, okay? Sigh!" Although Zhong Xinglian made Zhong Xingqi feel uneasy, he didn't expect the third brother to refute himself like this.

This is something that has never happened before...

Could it be that his heart is really starting to favor the fourth child now?They were incompatible before, even if their father was around, they could fight if they disagreed.

Can the passage of time and recovery after the bottom really change a person's character?
Zhong Xinglian couldn't feel this feeling, because he didn't want to go to war, he just wanted to be a quartermaster. Unfortunately, Zhong Xingyan was the first to disagree, and even Zhong Xingqi didn't express any opinion on this matter.

Zhong Xinglian's dissatisfaction had long filled his heart, but at this moment, Zhong Xingyan came in from the outside.

When the topic character just appeared, Zhong Xinglian didn’t speak first, Zhong Xingqi didn’t wait to complain, Zhong Xingyan waved at him directly, “Third brother, let’s discuss what the emperor said yesterday, I’ll discuss it with you tomorrow. Still have to give an answer.”

"If you have any matter, you can make up your own mind? You are the one summoned by the emperor, so it has nothing to do with us." Zhong Xingqi said a few words in a dark and pitiful manner. Zhong Xingyan looked at him, then at Zhong Xinglian, and said with a smile:

"It's okay if you don't come, I won't divide the money reward, don't blame me for not telling you." Zhong Xingyan took a sip of water, "Okay, let's go with my wife."

"What's the matter? Why can't you tell me why you married a daughter-in-law and are still a bitch?" Zhong Xingqi was really afraid that he would run away, so he stood up and followed.

"I understand, money is more useful than anything these days..."

The two went out one after the other, leaving Zhong Xinglian alone in the main hall.

Zhong Xinglian's whole body twitched angrily, if it wasn't for the fear that the New Year's Eve would not be able to cause bad luck, he really wanted to smash this place up and down!
He is the eldest in this family, but now everyone treats him as a waste, he... How could he become what he is now?

why?
Zhong Xingyan and Zhong Xingqi did not go far after leaving the main hall, they only talked in the corridor in front of the main hall.

After Zhong Xingyan finished speaking the emperor's instructions, Zhong Xingqi also fell silent.

Because he asked himself how he would answer if he was summoned by Emperor Chonghua and asked the same question. After thinking for a while, Zhong Xingqi also gave him many possibilities in his heart, but none of them were as straightforward and appropriate as Zhong Xingyan's answer.

Showing his sharpness made Emperor Chonghua less afraid and worried about the Zhong family...

"This incident surprised me. I didn't expect the emperor to arrange it like this." Zhong Xingqi looked at Zhong Xingyan for a while, "Why didn't you tell the second brother?"

"I don't believe him." Zhong Xingyan answered very bluntly, but Zhong Xingqi shook his head, "No matter how much he thinks, he is still a member of the Zhong family, let alone important external matters, he will not be confused."

"Then if one day he really does something wrong to the Zhong family, what will you do?"

Zhong Xingyan's ridicule made Zhong Xingqi very dissatisfied, "Then I will kill him with my own hands, are you satisfied?"

"It doesn't matter, it's not my head anyway." Zhong Xingyan said and left, and Zhong Xingqi called him, "Why are you going?"

"I've said it all, I want to accompany my daughter-in-law, you think I'm just joking, cut!" Zhong Xingyan put down his words, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

Zhong Xingqi stood alone in the corridor silently...

It's about to go, soon!

Sanskrit was already talking to Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Tian in the side hall of the main hall.

Today can be said to be the first time since she married into Zhong's family that she has seen all the juniors, besides Zhong Liangqiu and Zhong Shu, he is the child of the aunt and the only male in the second room.

Tian's eldest son, Zhong Cheng, also came back from school, and the youngest Zhong Ling was even hugged and played with by others. These are her biological children.

The originally lively and festive New Year's Eve made Tian's face look like a funeral. When Sanskrit entered the room, he felt the urge to leave.

But at any rate, she is an aunt, so the red envelope and money can't be saved...

After distributing the New Year's gift one by one, Sanskrit held Tian's youngest son and teased him for a while.

After Tian's bet with Fanyin that day, she has been waiting for today's arrival. Although she didn't believe that Fang could agree to let Zhong Liangqiu follow Fanyin to the wedding ceremony of Princess Xiaoya, she couldn't get a definite answer. For the answer, her heart was always ups and downs, unable to settle down.

Fang's family wanted to seize the Zhong family's right to give in, and Tian's already knew about it. Although she could shamelessly go to Princess Jingwen's mansion to ask for an audience, she wouldn't be completely shameless.

The person she is going to marry is Yu Wenxin from Yuwenhou's Mansion. Anyone who knows this is the enemy of Zhong's Mansion. No matter how confused Fang is, can she agree?

Originally Tian's categorical disbelief, when she made a bet with Fanyin, she believed in her heart that Fanyin was doomed.

But as the days went by, and she thought about it, she became more and more indecisive, and Fang's trust continued to decline. This feeling made Tian very annoyed, so she brought the children here early this morning. Now, just waiting for the final result.

Nowadays, [-] to [-]% of the shares of Su Zhailou are trivial matters.

Whether the Fang family has no bottom line in doing things is the big deal!

Tian looked at Sanskrit teasing her son, and found it unpleasant no matter how she looked at it, she coughed lightly, and she started the conversation first, "Princess Xiaoya will get married in a few days, how are you planning to go?" Yin and Yang are strange, mixed with unhappiness and resentment.

Fanyin raised his eyebrows, since he understood Tian's meaning, seeing Fang and Zhong Liangqiu looking at him from the corner of the eye, Fanyin smiled lightly, showing a little helplessness, "It's okay not to mention this matter, but I'll be happy if I mention it." Depressed and panicked, third sister-in-law, are you expecting me to have a bad year, and you insist on running on me?"

"You know whether you are comfortable or not. After all, Princess Jingwen nodded and agreed. Who can blame you?" After saying that, Tian looked at Fang. Come.

When the words came to his lips, Tian also swallowed them abruptly, just waiting for how Yang Huailiu would verify who would win and who would lose.

"Third sister-in-law can be so considerate of me, I have to be grateful, but this matter... It's boring for me to go alone, or else third sister-in-law will go with me?" Fanyin deliberately teased, Tian turned over Eyes wide open, he wanted to scold her for asking questions knowingly, but he held back his mouth and only said three words, "I won't go."

Sanskrit had long known that Tian would answer this way, looked helplessly at Fang and Zhong Liangqiu, and after a long pause, said: "Second sister-in-law, otherwise..."

"I can't go. Princess Jingwen has already nodded, and the fourth siblings can go by themselves. Although you have no choice but to do this, you should go to socialize for the sake of Princess Jingwen's face. As long as you remember the Zhong family Good, remember the hatred of the Yuwenhou Mansion, we are still at ease with you."

After Fang finished speaking with a smile, Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

Fanyin pursed her lips and smiled, "Look at what the second sister-in-law said, I'm so ignorant? Speaking of which, I can't give this gift for nothing, and I have to take something back anyway, otherwise I feel a pain in my heart. It doesn't matter if sister-in-law doesn't go, I will take Liangqiu with me."

"I..." Zhong Liangqiu subconsciously opened his mouth, but he stopped as soon as he uttered a word. She has always wanted to participate in the gatherings of wealthy wives and ladies, but for many years because of the death of her grandmother and grandfather, she couldn't leave the house.

Now even though she can go out of the house, because her father and mother are not the legitimate sons of the Zhong family, she can only go to some small gatherings of middle and low officials. She is extremely unconvinced in her heart.

Although she hated Yang Huailiu very much, but Yang Huailiu made such a sentence, Zhong Liangqiu knew that he should refuse, but he couldn't say it.

Fang was also stunned!

She originally thought that Yang Huailiu was just saying politely and not sincerely, but now she didn't just stop there, instead she wanted to bring Liang Qiu?

Seeing Tian's resentful gaze, Fang wanted to refuse but thought for a long time in his heart, thinking that letting his daughter go out to see the world, isn't it just to save face for Erfang?
What's more, Liangqiu has also reached the age of marriage, the people who can attend Princess Xiaoya's wedding are all relatives of the emperor in Beijing or the wives of first- and second-rank officials...

Fang's mouth opened and closed, she didn't know how to answer, even if she wanted Liang Qiu to go, she had to find an appropriate and reasonable excuse.

Tian's face was gloomy, and she only thought in her heart that if Fang dared to nod and agree, she would fight Fang!
