The First Daughter of Rebirth

Chapter 163 Paving the way

Zhao Keran lived in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. On the first day she lived there, Zhao Keran asked Shixiang to come to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to serve her. And Zhao Lin also agreed to this.

In the past few days, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion has been very busy. In order to prepare for the ancestor worship, both Zhao Lin, Xiao Ling and Li Fei'er were extremely busy.

Although she is very busy, Li Fei'er is very happy because Zhao Keping's marriage has been settled. Moreover, it is still in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion. Although it is not as good as marrying into the royal family, it is still a very good marriage. She also feels that in her heart

Very satisfied.

"Hehehe." Hearing Zhao Keran mention Zhao Kefeng, Zhao Lin seemed to be in a good mood, "Yes! Feng'er has been smart since he was a child. He will definitely pass the examination this time. I think back then, he passed the provincial examination in one go.

And he won first place, so he really deserves to be the grandson of our Zhao family!"

Looking at Zhao Lin's gaze towards him, Zhao Keran smiled calmly and said, "Grandpa, you are speaking harshly. You also know that I am just a junior, how can I offer any opinions!"

After hearing what Zhao Keran said, Zhao Lin didn't say anything.

He really didn't expect that his granddaughter would actually see through this. I'm afraid even Zhao Song and the others should think that the reason why they are angry now is because they did that thing. But, in the final analysis, the reason why he is angry is

They pulled Zhenbei Mansion in.

After leaving the room, Zhao Keran breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that although his grandfather was old, he was still very alert and witty! He almost guessed his purpose with just a few words of his own. However,

Fortunately, I am calm enough. Otherwise, I would probably really be a gangster!

In the study, Zhao Lin and Zhao Keran were both sitting on chairs, but neither one spoke first. Both of them were drinking tea, but no one spoke. The atmosphere was very quiet, as if these two people were not.

I have something to talk about, so I just came here to have tea.

Zhao Keran definitely didn't call Shixiang here just to ask her to serve her. If it was really someone who needed to be served, then she wouldn't have to go to such trouble. She called Shixiang in order to protect herself.

, after all, it is not absolutely safe in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. With her current status, there are many jealous people! Of course, there is another reason, that is, she also needs someone to help her. Because there are

There are some things she can't do on her own.

"Really?" Zhao Keran narrowed his eyes and raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth, "Listening to what you said, it seems that I really misjudged my second uncle before. What kind of person is he?

?I’m really interested in this!”

"What kind of person?" After hearing Shixiang's question, Zhao Keran frowned and thought for a moment, "Actually speaking, I don't know much about this second uncle. I only know that back then, he was determined to

Marrying Mrs. Zhou, who is now my second aunt. At first, both Grandma Li and Grandfather were very opposed to this matter. It was only later that they had no choice but to let the second aunt in. And the strangest thing

One point is that although he has had many concubines over the years, he only has two children, Zhao Keli and Zhao Keping, both of whom were born to the Zhou family. However, over the years, he has attached great importance to power and has always been there.

My father and I are competing for the position of Zhenbei Marquis. However, I still admit one thing, that is, he is indeed much more capable than my father."

When Zhao Keran was talking, Zhao Lin kept looking at her with very sharp eyes. However, Zhao Keran did not dodge Zhao Lin's sneak glances and faced her calmly.

Where Zhao Lin didn't notice, Zhao Keran's lips curved into a smile. Yes, what she said was definitely not accidental. She said this to pave the way for the future. Only by letting her grandfather

He realized that he needed to find someone to check and balance his mother, so that things could go smoothly for Aunt Sun in the future.

"Oh, then you mean that they did nothing wrong in this matter, right?"

"You mean that Zhao Yong has done so much just for Zhao Keping." Regarding Shixiang's explanation, Zhao Keran felt a little funny, "Yes, he loves Zhao Keping, I know that, but doing this is really...

Is it useful? If it is found out that Lin Xiran is not a good man, won’t he let Zhao Keping marry Lin Xiran?”

However, although the ancestor worship was over, Zhao Keran still had to stay in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion for a few days. On this day, after lunch, Zhao Lin called Zhao Keran to the study and said that he had something to discuss with her.

"What?" Zhao Keran frowned, "What on earth did he do? Now that Zhao Keping and Lin Xiran are about to get engaged, shouldn't he be very happy? This matter is definitely a disastrous thing for him.

Little good news, what else does he want to do!"

After arriving at the family temple, Zhao Keran inevitably thought of Zhao Ying who was sent to the family temple. However, she also knew very well that she would not be able to see Zhao Ying. Because, although they were both family temples, they were places of worship.

It will definitely not be the same place as the one who was punished to come to the family temple.

After hearing what Zhao Keran said, Zhao Lin was secretly surprised, because Zhao Keran analyzed it very thoroughly. In fact, to be honest, the reason why he was angry about this matter was not because Zhao Song framed Lin Xiran like this, but because of his actions.

Involving the entire Zhenbei Hou Mansion was something he couldn't tolerate.

"What exactly does he want to do!" Zhao Keran was very puzzled by Zhao Yong's actions, "What exactly does he want to do when investigating Lin Xiran! What is his purpose? Such a development is so beneficial to him.

What else does he want to do!"

After Shixiang thought for a while, she spoke very carefully, "Miss, I don't think Zhao Yong did this for anything, just for Zhao Keping. After all, Zhao Keping and Lin Xiran have already made an engagement. He wants to

The reason for investigating Lin Xiran is probably to find out what kind of person my future son-in-law is."

After several days of preparation, the day of ancestor worship finally arrived. On this morning, before dawn, everyone was about to get up. After a series of bathing and changing clothes, Zhao Lin took the sacrifices with him.

He led those who participated in the ancestor worship to the family temple and began to worship the ancestors.

In the next few days, Zhao Keran still lived in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but Zhao Lin never chatted with Zhao Keran alone again.

Zhao Lin couldn't help but face his granddaughter, "Then what role do you think your mother played in this matter?"

After a while, Zhao Lin withdrew his eyes and said calmly, "Of course, I'm a little tired too, you should go back first!"

"Yes!" Zhao Keran seemed to have not noticed Zhao Lin's words, and said with a smile, "Aunt Sun is indeed a blessing. You see, over the years, she gave birth to my only son. Feng'er is still so smart.

.Her mother’s family is becoming more and more promising. It’s just a pity!”

"Miss, have you ever thought that in fact, over the years, your understanding of Zhao Yong may be a little incorrect!" Shixiang thought for a while and then said, "From my observation, on the surface, he seems to be

He is very keen on power, but he doesn't seem very happy about Zhao Keping's marriage contract that can obviously bring him benefits."

"Grandpa, I really shouldn't talk too much about my parents' matters, but you also said that today is just a chat between our grandfather and grandson, so I will say it." Zhao Keran raised the corner of his mouth and continued, "Actually,

, I think this matter should be arranged by my mother. Of course, we don’t know who came up with the idea, but my father should not interfere in such a matter, but people are not like this.

She has great ability, so the person who carried out this matter should be my mother, but she did so much, probably just to be nice!"

Facing the serious old man in front of her, Zhao Keran didn't feel any disturbance in her heart. She didn't know why her grandfather called her here today, but since he didn't speak, there was no need for her to speak. If it was true,

If there was something urgent, he wouldn't be so leisurely.

"Miss, you don't know something." Shixiang said, "In the past few days, Zhao Yong has been sending people to secretly investigate Lin Xiran, and he also beat Zhao Keren for a brothel girl. He

The investigation was very detailed, but fortunately, Miss, you have always kept my attention, otherwise, Zhao Keren and the others might have found out what they had planned before."

Zhao Lin looked at Zhao Keran with a keen and searching gaze. When he saw that Zhao Keran had no intention of avoiding his gaze, he was even more shocked.

"Grandpa, you don't know!" Zhao Keran explained with a smile, "When I met Prince Xu before, he told me that the Minister of Rites is old and will probably retire and return home soon.

.Then the seat of the Minister of Rites will be vacant, isn’t it? Aunt Sun’s eldest brother is a capable person, and when the time comes——”

But stay with Li. "Yes! Because no one can suppress her." Zhao Lin muttered to himself, seeming to be talking to Zhao Keran, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

"Yes! It will really be a great event then!" Zhao Keran said with a smile, "Feng'er has been working hard to prepare recently! There is still one year left, and by then, I believe he will definitely achieve success.

It will be a greater honor. In addition, when the time comes, there will be help from your grandfather and Aunt Sun’s family, Feng’er will definitely have a bright future.”

Looking at Zhao Keran, who had always been very calm, Zhao Lin felt very shocked. Sometimes, he wondered in his heart, was the person in front of him really his granddaughter Zhao Keran? He had never noticed it before

This granddaughter. Because in the past, this granddaughter really had no sense of existence. She kept her head down at all times and did not even dare to look directly into his eyes. Originally, I didn’t pay much attention to Zhao Keran. However, in

After such a series of things happened, for some reason, he just wanted to have a good chat with his granddaughter.

"Yes! Grandpa, your memory is really good." Zhao Keran nodded, "Yes, Aunt Sun's eldest brother is an official in the Ministry of Rites. He is now the minister of the Ministry of Rites. However, after a while, then...

I no longer know."

"Well, since you asked Grandpa, I'll tell you the truth." Zhao Keran smiled and said, "Grandpa, we are indeed wrong about this matter. However, it is understandable for parents to do this.

Original."

"No, miss, you misunderstood." Shixiang explained, "Zhao Yong did do a lot of things, but it seems that they were all just for Zhao Keping."

After hearing Zhao Keran's question, Shixiang nodded, "Although it is generally very peaceful, there are still some abnormal situations. In the past few days, Mrs. Li has not done anything.

However, miss, your second uncle seems to have done a lot of things behind the scenes, but these things have nothing to do with you."

Because, I don’t know when exactly did this granddaughter become so outstanding? Not only was she made a princess by the emperor without saying a word, but she even defeated the number one in the capital at the concubine selection banquet.

The talented girl Qin Yimiao is known as the most talented woman in the world. Now Zhao Keran is no longer the unknown little girl before. Now, whenever everyone mentions Zhao Keran, they will think of her world-famous talent.

"It seems that this Sun family is really blessed!" Zhao Lin narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully.

Zhao Lin was very satisfied with Zhao Kefeng, his grandson, otherwise he would not have given him so many exceptions. Especially the talent that Zhao Kefeng had shown since he was a child made Zhao Lin even more interested in this grandson.

Zhao Lin's tone was calm, and he didn't seem to mean any blame. But Zhao Keran knew that his grandfather already thought it was his parents' fault in this matter. If he said that they were not at fault at this time, he would definitely be very unhappy.

.

"What?" After hearing Shixiang's words, Zhao Keran was shocked. She had never thought of this possibility.

"No, I didn't say that." Zhao Keran smiled and shook his head, "They did this for Keren. I know this. After all, Keren was already in love with His Highness the Crown Prince at that time, so they wanted to terminate the engagement.

That is understandable. After all, when people go to higher places, water flows to lower places! However, what they did is indeed wrong, because it will put our Zhenbei Hou Mansion in danger."

"What's a pity?" Zhao Lin couldn't help but ask.

However, compared to Li Fei'er's happiness, Xiao Ling has been very upset these days. Neither her son nor her daughter-in-law can participate in this ancestor worship. Isn't this an obvious rejection of them? But, fortunately, it's just this time.

.Now, the thing that worries her the most is Keren's thing. She really wants to know what happened to make Mr. Hou so angry that he even expelled Keren.

Fortunately, Keran is still here, which means Song'er still has a chance. However, in the past few days, she has looked for Keran several times, just to ask what happened that day, but

But Ke Ran still refused to say it out loud. So, in the end, the matter had to be settled.

There were not many people participating in the ancestor worship this time, only Zhao Lin, Xiao Ling, Li Fei'er, Zhao Yong's family and Zhao Keran. But only they were eligible to participate.

The time for ancestor worship was very long. After going through a series of steps, Zhao Keran felt that he was almost exhausted. Finally, after more than half a day, the ancestor worship was really completed, and everyone went back home.

Already.

After hearing Zhao Keran's words, a bright light flashed in Zhao Lin's eyes. He looked at Zhao Keran thoughtfully, "Keran, it seems that you and Sun have a very good relationship!"

After staying in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion for several days, Zhao Keran was about to leave for the Taishi Mansion. Not only Zhao Keran, but also everyone else was leaving the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. On this morning, after finishing breakfast

, Zhao Keran had already got on the carriage home.

In addition to Zhao Keran, there was Shixiang in the carriage. In the past few days, Shixiang has been waiting by Zhao Keran's side. 13acv.

"Minister of Rites, are you?" Zhao Lin narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhao Keran, and asked doubtfully, "Keran, what do you mean, and why don't you know it after a while?"

"Alas! There really should be someone to suppress or check my mother's temper, but unfortunately there is no one. My father only has one legal wife, my mother, so it's no wonder that my mother is so confident. If only my father had a legal wife like your grandfather.

, an equal wife, just like Grandma and Grandma Li, that would be great."

"Of course, I called you in today because I have something I want to ask you." Zhao Lin couldn't help but speak first, "You also know what happened to Marquis Zhongyi last time, so just tell me something about yourself

Please give me your opinion!”

"Is there anything unusual in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in the past few days?" Zhao Keran asked.

"Sun's natal family?" Hearing Zhao Keran mention Aunt Sun, Zhao Lin frowned and thought back, "By the way, I remember that Sun seems to have an older brother, who seems to be an official in the Ministry of Rites, right?"

"Grandpa, you should still remember it!" Zhao Keran said with a smile, "Next year, Feng'er will take part in the imperial examination. According to his ability, he will definitely be able to successfully participate in the imperial examination, don't you think?"

Zhao Keran was just joking at first, but unexpectedly, Shixiang nodded very seriously, "Yes, miss, this possibility is very high. Miss, you don't know, Zhao Keping was not selected at the concubine selection banquet before.

After that, Mrs. Li and Zhao Yong were both looking for marriage for Zhao Keping. I have already investigated this matter. Zhao Yong was not looking for people with prominent family backgrounds. They were all loyal and honest people, and their family backgrounds were not special.

Prominent, but the man has a very good temper. I think he just wanted to find a more ordinary family for Zhao Keping, so that Zhao Keping would not suffer in the future. It's just a pity that this matter was interrupted."

After hearing what Zhao Keran said, Zhao Lin seemed to have fallen into deep thought.

After Zhao Keran glanced at Zhao Lin without leaving any trace, he continued, "However, I still have to say that my mother is too courageous to dare to do such a thing. However, it is no wonder, mother

No matter before or after getting married, no one dared to disobey her, which is why such consequences occurred."

"Alas -" Zhao Keran sighed, "I just feel sorry for Aunt Sun. According to Aunt Sun's current family background, there is absolutely no need to be a concubine. It is more than enough to be a serious official wife.

If her family hadn't been in decline, she wouldn't be just a concubine now."

Zhao Keran's words stopped abruptly, but even if she didn't finish speaking, Zhao Lin already understood what she meant.

When Zhao Keran said these words, he seemed very careless, as if he was talking to himself. However, Zhao Lin listened to what she said, and was still thinking thoughtfully.

It's the same as anything.

"Miss, let me ask you, what kind of person is Zhao Yong in your eyes?"

"Really?" After hearing Zhao Keran's answer, Zhao Lin did not express any opinion, but looked at Zhao Keran with a half-smile, "I know you are a junior, but this matter is just a chat between our grandparents and grandchildren.

, you don’t have to have any scruples, just say what’s in your heart.”

After a while, Zhao Keran smiled and said, "Okay, grandfather, it doesn't matter who was right or wrong about the previous matter, it doesn't matter anymore. What we have to focus on now is the future.

Let him let go of the past."

Facing Zhao Lin's probing eyes, Zhao Keran smiled very calmly, "Really? To be honest, Aunt Sun is indeed a very good person. Although my relationship with her is not close, it can be considered a good friend!

However, my relationship with Feng'er is quite good."

"What? For Zhao Keping." After hearing Shixiang's answer, Zhao Keran became even more confused, "Zhao Keping's marriage has been decided, what else does he want to do!"

After hearing Zhao Lin's instructions, Zhao Keran quickly left the study. Zhao Lin, who stayed alone in the study, fell into deep thought.

"Miss, do you need me to do anything?" Shixiang asked proactively.

"Yes." Zhao Keran's eyes were full of interest, "Shixiang, please find out everything about my second uncle's family and leave nothing behind. I really want to know what he is thinking in his heart.

By the way, especially about the heirs, check it out in detail for me."

"Got it, miss."
