Vol 2 Chapter 1027: A blessing and a curse

Sun Zhuangyuan's eyelids have been twitching in recent days.
It jumped to make him flustered.
He asked Sanyuangong Yang Yuanqing, "Is the old man's eyelids twitching, is there something wrong?"
"Left eye jumps for money, right eye jumps for disaster, I don't know which eyelid was jumped by Brother Sun?"
"Both eyelids are jumping, when none of them stops."
"It's rare in your situation. It's hard to tell. Either catastrophe or great blessing."
Sun Zhuangyuan thinks that San Yuan Gong's words are suspected of exaggerating, and he is very disdainful.
He found Zhou Shian again, "Brother Zhou, what's the matter with me?"
Zhou Shian observed it in earnest, "Could it be that Brother Sun hasn't rested well recently? If I stay up all night for a few days, my eyelids will keep jumping."
Sun Zhuangyuan looked suspicious, "The old man has been resting well recently."
"Forgive me for my incompetence, I can't help Brother Sun." Zhou Shian arched his hands and quickly escaped.
Sun Zhuangyuan was uneasy, so he drove into the city to meet Ren Qiu and Ren Dashen stick.
Ren Qiu looked at it and laughed suddenly, "Congratulations, Mr. Sun, Mr. Hexisun."
"Where does the joy come from?"
"Hi to come from the north!" Ren Qiu sold off.
Sun Zhuangyuan frowned, "Tell me carefully with the old man."
Ren Qiu shook his head again and again, "I can't say it too clearly. I will count it, and within five days, the happy event will come to my door."
Sun Zhuangyuan became more and more suspicious, "What else can the old man have? Could it be that your majesty sees my age and weakness and is ready to promote me to work in the court?"
Ren Qiu smiled without saying a word, maintaining a superior demeanor.
Sun Zhuangyuanquan was Ren Qiu talking nonsense and returned to Shanhe Academy to continue his little life.
Unexpectedly, Ren Qiu's iron mouth was straightforward, and within five days, someone from the palace asked him to enter the palace.
Sun Zhuangyuan was stunned.
"Your Majesty wants to see the old man?"
"Exactly! Mr. Sun packs up, now let's follow our house into the palace. The carriage is waiting outside."
"Wait a minute."
Sun Zhuangyuan was a little confused, and hurriedly found Sanyuan Gong and Zhou Shian for advice.
"Your Majesty called the old man into the palace, what do you think?"
"Ren Dashen's prophecy has worked. It must be a happy event. Brother Sun can enter the palace without worry, we are waiting to drink your wine."
"You have no official position in the court. Your Majesty suddenly invited you into the palace. It's probably a private matter. If it's an official business, maybe you want Brother Sun to be the head of Shanhe Academy."
"Definitely not let Brother Sun be the head of the mountain. Otherwise, people from Chang'an Palace should be here, not from Xingqing Palace."
"This is reasonable. In this case, it must be something related to your grandson family, which is still a good thing."
"Congratulations to Brother Sun in advance."
"Brother Sun, please drink."
"Could it be that your majesty called me to be an official in the court?" Sun Zhuangyuan asked.
"Brother Sun, don't have unrealistic daydreams."
"Brother Sun walks slowly, don't let the servant in the palace wait for a long time."
"Bring more money with you as a reward."
Sanyuan Gong and Zhou Shian were also broken.
...
Sun Zhuangyuan, with an uneasy heart, rode in a carriage and staggered to the palace.
He didn't know when he arrived at the palace that his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter were all in the palace.
The daughter-in-law and her granddaughter are in the Chang'an Palace to meet the empress.
Sun Zhuangyuan will understand everything.
Could it be that his granddaughter has entered the eyes of the royal family and wants to marry the prince?
That said, it is indeed a happy event.
However, your Majesty does not need to invite him into the palace too!
The parents ordered the matchmaker to say that with his son and daughter-in-law, his granddaughter's marriage was nothing to him.
He is just a bad old man, and he is at ease in Shanhe Academy.
He had no longer bothered about family matters many years ago, and had already delegated power to the eldest son.
After entering the Xingqing Palace, Emperor Liu Zhao was very polite and asked him to sit down.
First there was a greeting, from Shanhe Academy to Sun's house.
I thought it was just chatting, but I didn't expect that with regard to the Sun's family, Emperor Liu Zhao's questions became more and more sharp, which caught Sun Zhuangyuan by surprise and was almost unprepared.
This attitude is not like the attitude of going to get married, but it is like settling accounts after autumn.
Sun Zhuangyuan was confused and couldn't figure out what Emperor Liu Zhao wanted to do.
"I have high hopes for the eldest prince, and his marriage is naturally the top priority."
"Your majesty's loving-hearted father is moving." Sun Zhuangyuan bowed slightly.
Liu Zhao pretended to be very casual and asked, "I have a question, I want to ask Mr. Sun. If the wife's clan is dragged down, how should I decide?"
Sun Zhuangyuan's heart clicked, his eyes in a trance.
"The Caomin doesn't understand what your Majesty means."
Liu Zhao smiled but didn't smile, "I heard that your three rooms have been at odds with the big room."
"Nothing, it's all rumors." Sun Zhuangyuan repeatedly denied.
Contradictions within the family are resolved within the family. It must not be discussed in the public, let alone a word in front of the emperor.
Liu Zhao smiled, "Are you three rooms willing to be pressured by the big room?"
Sun Zhuangyuan hurriedly said: "The Sun clan has its own clan rules to constrain everyone. There is no one who opposes the other. There are rumors in the market, your Majesty must not take it seriously."
Liu Zhao laughed, "I know that my husband has concerns, so I am not embarrassed by him. But I hope that after he goes back, he can think carefully about what I said today."
Sun Zhuangyuan left Xingqing Palace with a dazed expression.
The granddaughter’s marriage did not mention a word, but the conflicts within the Sun family were repeatedly mentioned.
His brows frowned, what did your Majesty mean.
When they reunited with their son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter, everyone was at a loss when they communicated.
The daughter-in-law Bai said: "The empress is extremely satisfied with Xiao Qi and said a lot."
Sun Zhuangyuan asked his granddaughter: "What did the mother say to you?"
Sun Qiniang deliberated, "In the beginning, it was just some ordinary questions, such as what books the granddaughter reads on weekdays and what to do for entertainment. When the conversation was about to end, the queen mother suddenly asked her granddaughter what she thought of the family's clan."
Sun Zhuangyuan asked nervously, "How did you answer?"
Sun Qiniang bowed her head slightly, "The granddaughter wanted to be fooled, saying that she had little knowledge at a young age and had no opinion on the clan of the family. However, the empress asked her granddaughter, what are the advantages and disadvantages of living in a big family and gathering together? On weekdays, are there conflicts in getting along with the sisters in the clan? The granddaughter has no choice but to answer as much as possible."
"Tell me, how do you answer?"
"The granddaughter said that living in a big family, the advantage is that you can get the support and protection of the family, and you don't have to worry about anything. The disadvantage is that the family rules are quite strict, and you have to have rules in your words and deeds. Sometimes you have a temper with your sisters in the family, but there is nothing to worry about. contradiction."
"Father, the queen mother asked Xiao Qi these questions, but does it mean something?" asked Sun Minrong, the eldest son of the third room of the Sun family.
Sun Zhuangyuan stroked his beard, "The questions that Niang Niang asked are naturally meaningful. By the way, does Niang Niang have something to do with Ming Xiaoqi's marriage?"
Hearing this, Sun Qiniang hurriedly lowered her head, her ears flushed slightly.
The grandson's daughter-in-law Bai said hurriedly: "I didn't point it out directly, but what was said was that it meant to marry Xiaoqi as the wife of the prince."
"Father, is this marriage risky? Or is the empress dissatisfied with Xiao Qi?" Sun Minrong asked carefully.
Sun Zhuangyuan sighed, "This marriage is more than a risk, it is terrible. I hope I think it is wrong."
"Why does my father say that this marriage will be terrible?"
Sun Zhuangyuan shook his head, not wanting to say more.
"When you enter the palace today, don't speak out. If the clan asks, just find a reason to perfuse. It means that the marriage will last for a day, so it shouldn't be the case."
"Does my father not want Xiao Qi to marry the eldest prince?" Sun Minrong asked.
When Sun Qiniang heard this, she became nervous too. She also couldn't tell whether she wanted to marry the eldest prince or not.
Sun Zhuangyuan looked at his granddaughter.
With so many granddaughters, Sun Qiniang is the most outstanding one.
I have to say that His Highness the Great Prince has a very good vision, and he picked the best girl in the Sun family at a glance.
But in this marriage, your majesty and the empress seem to have greater ambitions.
Trying to get involved in the internal affairs of the Sun family's clan through marriage.
Can he refuse?
Sun Zhuangyuan said: "Don't worry about Xiao Qi's marriage, first look at the meaning of the palace. If it is a month later, the palace does not give a marriage plan, then you can find another suitable marriage for Xiao Qi. "
"Can it be settled in a month?"
The prince chooses his wife, and there are many trivial matters, and half a year and a year are not long.
Sun Zhuangyuan said loudly, "The old man said that one month is one month. In addition, recently you have paid more attention to the movement in the big room."
He reminded his eldest son, Sun Minrong, not to worry about Xiaoqi's marriage, and to pay more attention to matters in the clan.
Sun Minrong nodded repeatedly.
Sun Zhuangyuan reminded his granddaughter, "Don't have a burden in your heart. Marrying into the royal family may not be a good thing."
"Grandfather teaches, granddaughter remembers to heart. Granddaughter also knows that prince wife is not easy to be a wife."
"That is not only the prince, but also the elder prince. Do you know the weight?" Sun Zhuangyuan asked solemnly.
Sun Qiniang nodded slightly and said carefully: "The granddaughter can imagine that the weight is quite heavy, and that position is a blessing and a curse."
"If you can think like this, the old man is relieved. Be free and easy. You are a granddaughter, and you have a lot of choices if you can't marry the prince."
Sun Qiniang responded with a smile, "Granddaughter listens to grandfather."
After leaving the palace to the street, Sun Zhuangyuan and his eldest son and eldest son and daughter-in-law and granddaughter parted, and took a carriage directly back to Shanhe Academy.
Sun Zhuangyuan will return to Sun's house only when he worships his ancestors every year.
At other times, he lives in Shanhe Academy and will not go back during the New Year.
When he returned to Shanhe Academy, San Yuan Gong and Zhou Shian asked him to drink.
He smiled bitterly.
"It is a happy event, in the eyes of the old man, it is like being roasted on a fire."
"Brother Sun has any troubles, it's better to tell them, we will advise you."
Sun Zhuangyuan sighed again and again without concealing it, "Your Majesty and the Queen's Empress deliberately hired my Xiaoqi as his wife for His Royal Highness. It's just that the emperor seemed very jealous that the Sun Clan took the opportunity to sit in and threatened His Royal Highness."
San Yuan Gong smiled upon hearing this. He pointed to Zhou Shian, "Fortunately Brother Zhou has no granddaughter."
Zhou Shian laughed, "Congratulations, Brother Yang has no granddaughter, it's a blessing."
Sun Zhuangyuan was angry.
gloat!
This is naked gloating!
