Chapter 511
At noon, the mother and the other two had dinner together. Zilan coaxed the old lady to eat half a bowl of rice and accompanied her to the garden for a walk, with only the grandparents and grandchildren.
"Grandma, you are very worried about the affairs of the clan."
"Yes, your grandfather said that he would plan to retreat when this year passed, and the emperor also let go. The Cui family was at the point where he had to move. We are old and this boat can't protect them."
The old lady sighed. She was thinking about love. She used the power of the whole clan to push her husband to the position of prime minister, which means that other relatives who have some chances to be promoted have no chance. The family can only produce one high-ranking official, and others have no chance.
But the tribe members had no complaints. They were cautious over the years and never caused trouble outside. But they were old and their children had the heart to do so.
"I understand, I will come up with a plan as soon as possible. I will ask my method to make a big mistake. I will catch it and beat it hard, and take advantage of the situation and reform it."
"I don't understand these things either. Just do whatever you want. If you discuss with your grandfather and the others, you will be able to do it. Let me pretend to be deaf or dumb or be a vocal worm, I will cooperate with you."
The old lady smiled and promised.
"Thank you grandma for trusting me so much, I will do my best."
Zilan was grateful to the unconditional trust of the two old men and was willing to try it out.
"Good child, thank you for your hard work. You haven't enjoyed the glory of the Cui family, but you have worked so hard to marry in. You may be questioned and wronged in the future.
Child, your grandfather and I are sorry for you, but I can guarantee you that no matter what happens, the Cui family trusts you, and they are not hopeless."
Zi Lan held the old lady's back and spoke seriously and solemnly, "Grandma, what do you say is serious?
I was a little girl at the beginning, and I was very satisfied with the Cui family. How could I say that I suffered? We are a family, so when we have difficulties, we should work together."
"Yes, you are right. Work hard together. When I get old, I will leave the future to you. I didn't think about your sister-in-law at first, but her courage and methods are not enough, but she has a benefit to tolerate others.
It’s good to have a tutor, and he is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. Considering that you will be together for the rest of your life in the future, your aunt also likes her, so I let her in."
"You said that family harmony is prosperous."
Zi Lan lowered her head and listened slightly, saying that the old lady was teaching her alone.
"That's right, I feel relieved if you understand this principle. Do you think your mother-in-law and your aunt are also very harmonious?
Even though there are some small shortcomings, the flaws do not cover up the merits. There are not so many bullshit things at home, and the man is close to united. This is the biggest benefit.
There are always regrets in life, and you cannot be perfect everywhere. What you ask for is enough."
The old lady walked slowly, with a very kind and tolerant expression. She would feel very peaceful and peaceful when she got along with her, and she would not dare to startle her head and disturb the old man.
"Grandma, am I too hard? Before getting married, my grandmother, grandfather and my mother repeatedly told me in a variety of ways, asking me to discuss everything with my second master and elders, and not to act arbitrarily."
The old lady smiled at her gently, with her eyes and eyebrows showing a soothing power, tenacity and calmness, which was the gentleness after years of hardship.
"You are not too hard, but too affectionate. Sometimes we can be roundabout and tactful and not so direct, for example, touching the pillar and wiping the neck, it really doesn't need to."
The old lady teased with kindness, and Zilan couldn't help but laugh.
"I won't know anymore in the future. Really, Uncle Yuping and others not only protect me, but also supervise me. My father is afraid that I will touch the pillar, so cough cough!"
Zi Lan blinked her eyes, feeling embarrassed.
"I said this was not to sweep your face. Brother Ri Hao asked Er to come back covered in blood, kneeled in front of me and his grandfather, and cried in tears.
He said he didn't expect that the one who protected them would be a girl. She exchanged her life for their lives, and as a man, she couldn't raise her head.
This is the reason why your grandfather must take back that painting for his clan members to see. He wants the Cui family members to know what's wrong with you.
Brother Hao was raised by his grandfather since he was a child, but in fact he was afraid that his mother would be raising him wrongly.
This child was very hardworking and persevering when he was young, and he was very smart but never got carried away because he worked harder than others. His grandfather was afraid that he would become a hurtful person and educated him very harshly.
He has been talking about you in recent years, and he has not even been close to his relatives.
Before studying, he came to plead with me and wanted to marry you, so I asked him why."
The old lady was talking about everything. Zilan mentioned Cui Hao as she listened to it. She listened carefully and was very curious why Cui Hao liked her.
"He said, I don't know, I just can't forget her. She is different from other girls. I think she is suitable for me, suitable for the Cui family, and going to another family may have buried this talent.
Another thing I like is that I can’t forget it in my heart, and I beg my grandmother to help me.”
The old lady paused when she said this, and Zilan guessed that there was something else to say.
"The person I mentioned at the beginning was not you. You are a little younger. Brother Hao is one year older than your brother.
What we said at the beginning was your sister Shishi. But Cui Hao was unwilling, so his grandfather made an agreement with him to win the top scholar and take the responsibility of the head of the family in the future and marry you as his wife.
He also said at that time that he wanted to see you. If he couldn't take the responsibility of the clan wife, he would still reject it. He agreed.
You will know what happened next. We old guys discussed it privately and left three years of gap to observe each other so as not to hurt the child's reputation.
We didn't expect that in just three years, you did something earth-shaking, and even the emperor repeatedly praised you for being innocent, which made the old man decide that you are the clan wife of the Cui family."
Zi Lan blushed slightly, "I actually wanted to marry into a big family from the beginning, but the reason was that I didn't take a concubine. I was tiny. Later, the brother of the Li family didn't like me and thought I was too childish."
The old lady smiled, not exposing her words that raised Li Qing.
"I'm telling you all this, I want to tell you that Cui Hao loves you more than you think. Give him a chance and yourself a chance. In the future, you still need to walk a lot of roads and encounter many difficulties. You must support each other and trust each other."
"I remember grandmother. I like him, but I can't be sure if I love him. I think love and love are different. I will make this promise for the rest of my life and I will never repent. I must be cautious."
Zi Lan tilted her head and blinked naughtyly, "Don't tell him, you have to be patient when chasing girls. Besides, I won't run away, why don't you panic?"
The old lady laughed and nodded happily, "Okay, I won't say it, my poor grandson."
"Grandma, you can't be biased."
"Okay, grandma loves you."
