With one foot, he stepped on the high-rise Hou Mansion into the mud, and settled Zhao Luli and the old lady. Guan Suyi then sat back in his original position and said slowly, "I can hide the origin of the Hou Mansion, and don't do this to make people disgusted. The villain. Of course, in the future, I will be in charge of the house, and social entertainment and human relations must be handled clearly. Just as civil officials have factions of civil officials, and military generals have their circles, Yanjing also has its own family. Owning the dignity of blood, he has always been associated with noble families of comparable strength, and the upstarts from humble backgrounds are also very exclusive. If I don't say it, Zhenbei Houfu will not be able to enter the circle of the noble family, nor the circle of the upstarts. As time goes by, it will only become more and more difficult. ."

"That's right, you're right." Mrs Sun nodded again and again, her tone suddenly stunned, "If you don't say it, I still don't understand why the gifts that Hou's House sends to Mrs. Zhao in Tianshui every year are returned, why? We never took us to family gatherings. Why did the family heads and clan women turn around and leave when they saw me and the Marquis? Why didn’t the old Marquis make it clear back then? The clown jumping on the beam for several years." After the words were finished, Sun's face was red, and there was no place to feel ashamed.

Zhao Luli put his hand on his forehead and remained silent. He was already very self-respecting and would only suffer more than the old lady, but he was speechless.

Zhao Chunxi seemed to think of something, and his face became very pale.

Guan Suyi glanced at her and continued, "In the future, we have to find the location of the Hou's mansion. In the circle of the noble family, not only can we not squeeze in, but we have to stay far away. The new nobles of the court can be properly made friends, but they also You can't cross the line. It's the same old saying, I won't ask you why your mansion was rejected by the emperor, and don't put off me. There are many signs that the mansion may have been written down by the emperor, and I don't know when it will be liquidated. Therefore, you need to be low-key and cautious, and don't be a rafter."

Sun shi greatly agreed, "Suyi is very right. Chunxi, I heard that you have received a lot of posts recently, and you have rejected those who can be rejected, and those who cannot be rejected will be invited to the house, and your mother will help you. Palm palm eye, don't be like those business girls who climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, pick up a thigh and want to hug it, is it shameful to lose it?"

Zhao Chunxi was embarrassed and annoyed by these accusations of scolding Huai, but it was not easy to attack, so he could only respond aggrievedly. Thinking back to the past gatherings, she was always ostracized by the daughters of noble families and noble ladies. She always thought it was because her father was not in power and her mother's whereabouts were unknown, but now she realized that it was because of her birth. She is the eldest daughter of the dignified Beihou Mansion, but she is also despised because of her background. No wonder her mother would rather abandon her husband and abandon her son and separate her flesh and blood, and also enter the palace as a concubine.

It has only been a few days since Guan's marriage to the Hou Mansion, but Zhao Chunxi felt like it had been a few years, because she knew too well how to tear open other people's skins, smash other people's wounds, and then sprinkle handfuls of salt, called People are in pain. However, she is better at turning other people's pain and resentment into tears of gratitude, which is extremely terrifying to reverse black and white.

Upright personality? I am afraid that only Dad and the old lady will believe this! Thinking of this, Zhao Chunxi felt depressed for a while, but at this moment, he heard Guan Suyi say softly, "The past is over, we will live behind closed doors in the future, and the family will be safe and reunited. He has an upright personality, so he often offends people without knowing it. In the future, everyone needs to bear more. Yesterday, Wang Shu was beaten, but I did not discourage him. Xier misunderstood my cruelty because of this. These two children, I really... can't take it as my own."

What? what do you say? Did the old man hear something wrong? I thought that my daughter-in-law would say some kind words, but unexpectedly, there was a huge turning point, and Sun was so shocked that she almost spit out a sip of tea.

Zhao Luli hesitated and said, "Did you say two more words?" According to common sense, shouldn't the successor who has just passed the door make an oath to her husband and make sure that she will treat her stepson and stepdaughter as her own? Why did Guan go the opposite way? But he was not in a hurry to get angry, expecting that Guan Shi still had unfinished words.

Zhao Chunxi's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked up.

Guan Suyi took a slow sip of hot tea and continued, "I am eighteen this year, Xi'er is thirteen, and Wangshu is eleventh in the new year. We are not very different in age. It is strange to be called mother and son, and I am not used to it. Besides, love comes from a relationship. I just passed the door a few days ago. I have to talk about how to like the two of you, how to hit it off, and how to meet each other. Do you believe it? I don’t believe it anyway. Of course, no matter whether we can get along in the future, I will fulfill my responsibility as a mother whether I can be devoted to each other or not. You may not believe in my character, but my grandfather's reputation is there. As an imperial teacher, he must act as an emperor, act as an example, be benevolent, courteous, wise, and faithful. Filial piety is absolutely not to be disobedient, otherwise it will be difficult to be a big responsibility, let alone a shameless king. Therefore, I will not fall into the name of my grandfather and smear my Guan family's glorious literary platform. I will find a good family for Xi'er, It will also tell Wang Shu how to get on the right path, as for whether we can be as close as mother and son in the future, it depends on fate."

Although this is a bit straightforward, Zhao Luli and Sun's hear it very well. Guan Shi is indeed still young and childless, and it is impossible to assume the role of mother all at once. If she pretends to be virtuous, generous, gentle and kind as soon as she walks through the door, it will make people suspicious, so it is better to tell her frankly now.

Mrs Sun was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and smiled and said, "There is fate, naturally there is fate, otherwise how could you become the daughter-in-law of my Zhao family? Chunxi, be filial to your mother in the future, you know?"

Zhao Chunxi had nothing to say except what he should be aggrieved. Guan Suyi knows the skills of communication too well. If he wants to promote first, he will suppress it first, and he will be attuned to reason. He can instantly anger people, and he can immediately soothe them. In the end, he is deeply touched. The Guan family is worthy of being a family of writers, and their mouths are the same as their pen, and they are first-class and powerful!

Suffocated, suffocated, this is the morning. Guan Suyi said goodbye to the smiling Sun, and went with Zhao Luli and Zhao Chunxi to visit Zhao Wangshu, who was in bed and recovering from injuries, followed by a row of children in charge, looking very ostentatious.

Zhao Wangshu was frightened by his father's words last night, and he treated his stepmother with some caution. In fact, his nature is not bad, but his ears are soft and easy to be used by others. The reason why he framed Guan Suyi in his last life was that Zhao Chunxi and Ye Fan were in it, and there were also some disputes in the court. It happened that he was a gun in someone else's hand at the meeting, and he broke into two parts at the end.

In this life, he was still young, so Guan Suyi would naturally not hurt a child, but like the previous life, he taught sincerely and protected him everywhere, but he couldn't. After another beautiful scene, he easily gained Zhao Wangshu's favor, and Guan Suyi led a group of stewards back to the main room.

Zhao Chunxi found an excuse to pull Zhao Luli away, so that he would not be taken over by his stepmother, showing some meaning of strict guard.

Guan Suyi was very grateful for this, and asked Mingfang to go to the kitchen to cook a cup of king bastard soup to send to Hou Ye and the eldest lady.

All the stewards stood neatly under the corridor. In the main hall of the main room, the four carved vermilion lacquer doors are open, with a strict temperament, the new lady with a gorgeous face sits high on the head, and calls people in one by one to report things, buying, entering, and exiting the account. , communication, trivial affairs, are all handled in an orderly and watertight manner, that method is more skilled than the old lady.

The stewards, who were already respectful and awe-inspiring to her, were even more convinced now, and dared not make any more fuss.

After sending away the sweaty stewards, Minglan said angrily, "Miss, after the Zhao family turned out to be a fugitive slave, they cheated on the marriage! The Zuo family, the Zhong family, the Guan family, but they are all well-known literary and illustrious families. How does the Zhao family match?"

"Fugitive slaves? To put it rudely, the Jiuli tribe also became slaves of the Yanhuang tribe after their defeat in the war. For the sake of future generations, the patriarch had to flee to the deep mountains and forests to escape from the world. Now more than a thousand years have passed, but he has finally become a The hegemon of the Central Plains. As the saying goes, 'Heroes don't ask where they come from', this dignity in the bloodline has long been out of fashion. In the future, don't mention anything about family background or origin." Today's methods are tyrannical and domineering. I don't like family constraints. In this world, only the surname is Huo, and the prosperity and glory of the family will soon become a thing of the past.

Before the words were finished, Guan Suyi didn't talk to the little girl, she only asked her to put the "Family Record" at the bottom of the box, and don't take it out in the future. In her last life, she carefully hid this book, and did not dare to let anyone in the Zhao family read it, for fear of hurting their face and hurting their self-esteem. When socializing, she never allowed Zhao Chunxi and Zhao Wangshu to communicate with the children of the aristocratic family, so as not to humiliate herself, but she was misunderstood by them as black heart and black liver, and deliberately obstructed the future of the two.

She secretly canceled the annual ceremony that she had to send to the Zhao family in Tianshui every year, and instead funded the nursery hall, but was reported by Ye Fan, who was accused of embezzling the property of the Mofu family, and was forced to death several times.

She digs her heart and lungs and does her best, but what she gets in return is only scolding and persecution, but now she has trampled the Zhao family into the mud, but these people are grateful to her and trust her. People, that's it, they will only turn a blind eye to your silent efforts. If you just talk about it but don't practice a fake hand style, they will be fascinated.

Ridiculous, pathetic, deplorable! Guan Suyi shook her head again and again, feeling sorry for her former self.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Minglan quickly changed the subject, "Hey, the servant will not mention it. The servant heard something new, would you like to hear it?"

"What's the matter?" Guan Suyi was not very interested.

"There was a Confucian scholar named Xu Guangzhi who sent a series of battle posts to ten legalists and invited them to debate in Wencui Building. Now there is a lot of uproar outside, and they are all discussing who wins and who loses. Then Xu Guangzhi was very loud and actually said If a famous person wins a game, he will be considered a complete victory, and if he loses a game, he will be considered a complete defeat.

"Oh? Did he really say that?" Guan Suyi suddenly looked up at the little girl.

Minglan was startled, and then instigated, "The debate will start tomorrow, ten days in a row, one a day. Miss, let's go and have a look?"

"Okay, of course I'll go!" Guan Suyi put her hand on her forehead, and thought to herself: This Xu Guangzhi is really eager for success and profit, and he failed to seize the opportunity to stand out last time, but this time he made one. If this matter becomes a big issue, it will definitely attract the attention of the superiors. He is crazy about wanting to enter the office.
