Chapter 319 Family Thoughts
When Zhang Ruofei mentioned her daughter, Zhang Yang became a little angry.
Sister Yun is already desolate and miserable when she suffers from depression and illness. How dare this little hooves rub salt into her wounds?!
"Oh, this person who is about to become a queen is different. She is so sharp that she can even ridicule her own sisters! Why is my sister Yun so unlucky? She sacrificed her whole life's happiness for the Hou family, but in the end she became a widow who was ridiculed by others!
All the brothers and sisters in the room don't remember your kindness, and they want to trample you under their feet once you gain power!"
Although Zhang Yang is fierce and shrewd in private, she is very good at pretending to be weak and crying in front of her parents-in-law.
This series of lamentations and complaints soon made the whole hall look ugly.
Zhang Ruoyun's marriage has indeed brought peace to the Hou family. Now that the family is powerful, it is more important to take good care of her. Zhang Ruofei's desire to show off cannot be hidden from everyone. If he really wants to invite someone back, he will cause some unhappiness.
If people outside knew about the quarrel between their cousins, all kinds of unpleasant rumors might spread.
The Weiyuan Marquis Mansion has not yet separated, and such conflicts are really not conducive to the harmony between the two families.
Seeing this, Zhang Ruofei's face turned slightly pale, she bit her lips and defended, "Are you worrying too much? I don't have any ill intentions towards Sister Yun. The family has not been lively for several years, and this time we can just take advantage of the happy event to reunite."
, We all remember Sister Yun’s sacrifice, and we will not hesitate to care and help if we have the opportunity..."
She can't let her reputation as a mean sister spread at this time! What if something goes wrong when entering the palace?
Although Jun Wuxi said that he would not take back his life, it would definitely have a bad impact on her life after entering the palace.
This eldest aunt is really jealous. She is clearly jealous but wants to frame her up for mischief. The two households in the Hou Mansion are both prosperous and destructive. What good can be gained by ruining her reputation!
Seeing her bowing her head in submission, Zhang Yang felt a little proud.
Just as he was about to speak again to suppress the opponent's arrogance, the old Marquis, who had been silent, interrupted the argument between the two.
"Okay! Just say a few words to me! The future of the Hou Mansion depends on your concerted efforts. How can we talk about glory if something happens and there is internal strife? Both families are blood relatives who share the honor and disgrace. They must not hold each other back.
Do!"
Zhang Tianhuan looked at his daughter-in-law and granddaughter with a sullen face, until the two men's faces tightened and they pursed their lips in silence.
"Sister Fei's suggestion is not unreasonable. Sister Yun really needs care. Let her come back within a few days of the banquet. If she has any worries, the whole family will help her solve it. Sister Fei must also remember that she
Don’t live up to your grandfather’s expectations of you.”
"Ms. Yang, you two sisters-in-law will discuss how to organize this wedding banquet. It must be done in a graceful and dignified manner! If anything goes wrong, you will be the only one to ask questions. Don't blame me for being cruel!"
After beating the two of them impartially, he led the men in the family to the study to discuss matters.
When women are present, there is always bickering and bickering, and they start fighting with each other without even saying a few words about serious matters.
Several children and grandchildren also have their own selfish interests, and they seem to have no control when they quarrel. If this continues, they will definitely fall apart. He doesn't want to worry about family affairs when he is old and frail.
"Ming Ke, what do you think about the emperor's marriage? Have you received any special news in the yamen?"
Zhang Tianhuan sat on the armchair with a relaxed posture, with deepness and worry hidden in his weathered eyes.
The crown prince, Zhang Mingke, thought for a while and replied cautiously: "Except for the battle report of Song Xi's capture of the Three Jin Dynasties, there is nothing special about the other news. The emperor will choose Sister Fei to enter the palace, and I am afraid that this aspect of the consideration is included.
We need to be more careful in the future and don’t become the Emperor’s raft for plotting against Song Xi. We are caught in a dilemma, and if one mistake fails, everything will be lost!”
Mr. Zhang curled his lips when he heard this, and retorted with a face full of displeasure: "Brother, are you thinking too complicatedly? Our sister Fei's entry into the palace is a huge happy event! What conspiracy can be involved in it?
?The traitor Song Xi doesn’t have any contact with our family, so how can the emperor use the Hou Mansion to plot against him?"
Zhang Mingke frowned and glanced at his younger brother, and scolded in a cold voice: "What do you know! Song Xi and the Hou Mansion have never announced the severance of relations. It would be easy for the emperor to take advantage of or liquidate us! Sister Fei enters the palace
We have to stand in the Wu family's camp. If Song Xi attacks the capital in the future, the entire Zhang family will have to become human shields blocking the city gate!"
Mr. Zhang Er was shocked when he said this, and there was a bit of hesitation on his originally proud face.
"No, it can't be...Then let's announce that we are severing relations with Song Xi? In this way, the emperor will not doubt us, and the whole family of the Hou family can enjoy their wealth in peace..."
Zhang Mingke shook his head and let out a long sigh, "How can this matter be so simple? If Song Xi can really do it in the end... Then doesn't announcing the severance of relations mean that he has cut off his own path? The world outside is in chaos. In a few years, it will still be...
We don’t know what the situation will be like, but we have to make good plans for the future.”
Mr. Zhang finally understood what his father and eldest brother were thinking, and he lowered his head and did not dare to answer casually.
He felt that he was not capable of long-term planning, so he would just obey the arrangements honestly.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Tianhuan nodded with satisfaction, and said earnestly to all his children and grandchildren: "Sister Fei's entry into the palace is a certainty. No matter how difficult it is, it is impossible to disobey the imperial edict. You must all be more vigilant in the future, and you must not rely on this.
If you are too proud and arrogant to do something, you must not make a mistake and let the emperor have a chance to take control of the Marquis Mansion."
"Song Xi, let's just wait and see what happens. There is no need to offend, slander or deliberately please. You must assess the situation before acting. If you don't know what to do, come back and discuss it with me."
The whole room of Zhang family men bowed their heads respectfully and agreed in unison: "Yes——!"
Zhang Tianhuan waved his hand and dismissed everyone, looking at the plum tree by the independent window in trance.
The plum blossoms on the tree were in full bloom, and even the cold wind and snow did not frighten them at all.
Three years ago, he never imagined that the child would be more tenacious than imagined, able to survive even the most desperate situation, and even build such a large territory by relying on his own strength.
Now that the Three Jin Dynasties have also been captured by him, Beizhili is in danger and its future is uncertain. One day when their grandson and grandson meet, will the child resent his indifference and ruthlessness?
Zhang Tianhuan shook his head and put aside these worries, with a somewhat strong and calm look on his face.
No matter what, Song Xi could not take care of his family in vain, otherwise how would he face the public criticism from both the government and the public in the future?
As long as Zhang Tianhuan lives, Song Xi must respect and be filial to him. So far, the two families have not severed their relationship, which shows that Song Xi also has similar concerns in his heart.
