Because Nie Xun had told the truth, Zhu Qingning felt a little uncomfortable facing Gu Zhen, her mother-in-law.
In order not to reveal her secrets, she could only minimize the frequency of visits to the upper house, and she could not stay for long each time.
Zhu Qingning is also a woman who has been a daughter and a mother. What a mother who truly loves her children should be like, she can reveal her words and deeds. It can't be said that this mother-in-law is not doing well, but her goodness is only superficial, which makes people feel unreal.
Gu Zhen didn't know what Zhu Qingning was thinking, she had been worrying about Nie Xun's future these days.
However, Nie Xun had been avoiding the child, and she could not have a long talk with him, telling him to teach him, and many words could only be relayed through his daughter-in-law Zhu Qingning. She brought up the old things again today, and hoped that Zhu Qingning could persuade Nie Xun to enter the official position. Nie Xun's heart knot, she somewhat understands, but Nie Xun is Jiang Pengji's cousin, how can the family have so many taboos, and promoting him is only a few words of effort.
Zhu Qingning knew that Gu Zhen had good intentions, but the other party's words always sounded a bit harsh.
She doesn't think her husband has to be a professional, and it's good to be a celebrity who has made achievements in education, and he is still famous.
If Nie Xun really wanted to become an official, he wouldn't have to rely on his relatives, would he
Her mother-in-law Gu Zhen said what she said was a matter of course, not only despised the wise man Lanting, but also despised Nie Xun.
Zhu Qingning is also a smart person, feeling uncomfortable and showing no face.
She pretended to mention Meng Heng's wife casually.
"Have sister-in-law been here in the past few days? A few days ago, I said there was a new pattern, and I was thinking of embroidering a small dress for the girl."
Nannan is her daughter's nickname, every time she is called, she will look over curiously, very cute.
Gu Zhen listened to her mentioning the eldest daughter-in-law, and laughed while teasing her granddaughter, "She doesn't like to come here, perhaps because there are many rules in the house, and I'm not used to it."
Zhu Qingning heard some dissatisfaction from her mother-in-law's mouth.
The women who know how to fight in the house are all with exquisite minds. A sentence that seems to be plain, in fact, hides a mystery.
Zhu Qingning heard the meaning behind her mother-in-law's words.
She secretly tried two more sentences, and the conclusion was as Nie Xun said, the mother-in-law's attitude towards the eldest son was too indifferent.
Of course, this indifference can also be excused by "the daughter-in-law came from a humble background, and the eldest grandson she gave birth did not please her".
Mother-in-law is always privileged, and it makes sense to anger grandchildren and sons for not liking their daughter-in-law.
Since then, Zhu Qingning has gone less often, but Gu Zhen likes to let her hold her child to chat with her and make fun of her.
Gradually, Zhu Qingning found that this mother-in-law was becoming more and more like a mother-in-law.
Although she didn't care much, her speech and attitude were much tougher.
This toughness is not conscious, it is revealed completely unconsciously.
Nie Xun said, "You go to accompany your mother-in-law or help your father-in-law to repair the book, and I will help you send her off. Everyday it is not dawn to ask for peace, I feel distressed."
He is a ruthless and rational person. When others treat him sincerely, he will repay him with sincerity.
At the beginning, he was also moved by Gu Zhen, but when he calmed down and looked at her attitude towards his elder brother and himself, his warm heart became cold.
It's okay to be an ordinary elder, and he really can't force himself to be filial to his mother and son.
Zhu Qingning said, "Mother-in-law won't be angry because of this?"
She has been married to Nie Xun for so long, and has never played the role of a daughter-in-law, but when she was in her boudoir, she had heard how difficult it was for her mother-in-law to serve.
"What is she angry about?" Nie Xun said, "Guru Lanting is coming back soon, I guess he doesn't care about us."
If Nie Xun was a little more stupid, he would probably be moved by Gu Zhen's actions, but unfortunately he was too transparent, but he could see too clearly.
Jiang Pengji was scheduled to come back after the new year, but the construction work outside was on track earlier than expected, so she came back early.
That day happened to be the twenty-fifth of the lunar new year, when the Jinlin Academy had a half-year vacation.
Nie Xun, the otaku, rarely leaves the door.
The entire Xiangyang County was caught in a sea of festivities, and various stores also learned from Zhikezhai and launched discounts.
"People who don't know it think it's New Year's Eve."
Nie Xun chuckled lightly, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, but he was a little dazed.
"Perhaps, this is what the people want."
Zhu Qingning looked at the young "general" who was riding slowly in the distance, just like the unruly young man in the book of pear blossoms in Langya.
Jiang Pengji didn't change back to her blouse, she was still wearing a military attire.
Zhu Qingning leaned against the window and sighed with emotion, "My vision back then was really good—"
Nie Xun heard something wrong, "What kind of vision?"
Zhu Qingning chuckled and said with a smile, "One year, during the Flower Festival, my father wanted to choose a son-in-law for me, and I fell in love with her at a glance."
Nie Xun: "… Who?"
Which goblin
Zhu Qingning said, "My father said that Duke Lanting was not a good match for me, and refused to tell the reason. Only later did I find out that Ruyi Lang is a daughter."
Nie Xun: "..."
"Yahah-"
The girl in her arms spit out a big bubble, and when the bubble burst, she secretly rubbed her saliva on Daddy's clothes.
Zhu Qingning said with a narrow smile, "Could it be that Langjun wants to taste this?"
Nie Xun took a deep breath and waved his hands weakly.
"Don't care about women!"
This "woman" refers to Zhu Qingning or Jiang Pengji, then the benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom.
The return of some of Jiang Pengji's troops was a major event that caused a stir in several states.
Feng Zhen and others were so angry that they gritted their teeth, and they didn't let anyone have a good time during the New Year. Is the lord really sincere
Cursing in my heart, smiling on my face, so angry!
"I'm not in Maruzhou for a while, but something big happened?"
Rao is Jiang Pengji's terrifying energy. He ran long distances on horseback, and there was a bit of tiredness between his eyebrows, but the overall energy was not bad.
Naturally, there is not. The rear and the front have always maintained a certain frequency of information communication. If something happened, she would have known it.
but-
Xu Ke said, "The eldest lady is here, and now she lives in the main city mansion."
Madam
"Aunt Shu is here?"
She habitually called Gu Zhen "Aunt Shu", realized that Meng Heng was also welcoming the group, and calmly changed her words, "Mother's body is not good, she is not used to those medicines, and her condition does not improve... She is not in Chongzhou to let her father take care of her, Why did you come so far to Xiangyang?"
Xu Ke said, "The eldest lady came to meet him specially after hearing about Nie Chengyun."
Xu Ke was also aware of the grudges between Meng Heng and Nie Xun.
Jiang Pengji gave a flat "Oh".
"Have anyone seen it?"
Xu Ke said with emotion, "The madam is a kind mother, but Nie Chengyun has been avoiding—"
Jiang Pengji didn't even lift her eyelids.
Listening to Xu Ke's words, Gu Zhen won't leave in a short time
Jiang Pengji sighed, "In these years of wars in the South and the North, I hardly reunited with my family for the holidays. As a child, I feel very guilty. While my mother is also in Xiangyang this year, this year's annual banquet is well organized, and I can't let my mother grow old. Go away and leave regrets."
In such a big Liu Mansion, if Jiang Pengji was the least willing to play against someone, it would probably be Gu Zhen.
She didn't know how to evaluate this woman.
The other party was the first to discover that Liu Xi had been taken away, and the reaction was also the calmest.
The system once asked why Mrs. Ji could calmly admit her identity when she found something was wrong
She also said that because the two reached an agreement.
what agreement
She allowed her stepmother to enjoy the so-called "great good fortune", and she inherited Liu Xi's legal status.
Liu Xi, who has been raising her for twelve years, is no match for a "lonely ghost" who can bring her the honor of the Queen Mother.
