Chapter 244 Zhao Zhimo's Awakening
Zhao Anping saw his eldest son speaking a long list of reasons, his face turning pale and blue at times after he finished speaking, and he guessed that it was not a good thing.
He didn't think he was wrong. He reached out and hit his eldest son on the head, angrily saying, "Now it's your turn to control me? Who am I doing this for? It's for your brother."
"I remember that our Wu'an Marquis Mansion still has two places for admission to the Royal Academy?" Zhao Zhimo is the eldest son of the Marquis Mansion, and Zhao Anping did not hide this important matter from him, so he also knew about it.
"Alas, some time ago, your second uncle came to ask for one, and your father gave him one. Later, one of your cousins came to ask for one, and your grandfather wrote to give one to his family, and then there was no more. Your brother is with your mother now, and you can see how spoiled he is."
Talking about this, Zhao Anping also felt very regretful. He gave it so generously at the time, thinking that he would follow his younger sister's path. However, he never expected that his younger sister would be offended by Jin and died, and his two sons would also be implicated.
Zhao Zhimo, however, felt that it was not necessary to enter the Royal Academy. Choosing a suitable and good academy would also be a good idea. "Other academies in Yuanjing are also good, but the connections there are a little lacking. Let's send my brother to a college with stricter management!"
"This is the only way now. If your grandfather were still in Yuanjing, you could go to the emperor and ask for help. But now that your grandfather is gone, I don't have that much face."
Speaking of Zhao Anping, it is even more regrettable. It can only be said that it is fate.
"Why did you come back when you weren't studying hard at the academy?"
When Zhao Zhimo heard his father ask again, his headache got even worse. He didn't know why his mother had such a good life before, and it seemed that things were getting worse now. "Did mother send someone to call me? If I don't come back, I'm afraid she'll go to the academy and make a scene."
Zhao Anping still knew to save face for Jin in front of the child. Although he was about to explode with rage, he remained calm on the surface. "What's the matter?"
Zhao Zhimo looked at his father's face suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, "What else could it be? Either he's complaining that Grandpa and the others didn't treat Mother well, or that my lame uncle doesn't dare to hate Aunt, so he hates her! And then there's the matter at the mansion."
According to Zhao Zhimo, he couldn't make the decisions or support the matters his mother mentioned. He was just a young master in the Marquis's mansion. His father hadn't even appointed a crown prince yet. With unlimited possibilities in the future, it would be better for him to pursue his career in peace and support his mother and brother in the future.
He told his father the truth, hoping that his father could control his mother, otherwise it would be a big deal for him to always take leave.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard his father's words, "Just focus on your studies from now on! I will control your mother."
Zhao Zhimo was still worried about his mother, so he added, "Father, Mom is also feeling insecure right now. Please talk to her."
Zhao Anping complained in his heart, feeling that the whole world had wronged her. It was because of her lack of security! Now she wanted to harm her son. He really wanted to shake the water out of her brain.
But for his son's sake, he also actively promised: "Okay, don't worry, for you and your brother's sake, I won't do anything to your mother."
"Hey, dad's the best!" Zhao Zhimo also learned this trick from his third cousin. When it's time to be sweet, don't be a gourd with a sawed mouth. To put it nicely, everyone is happy, so why not!
When Zhao Anping heard his eldest son say this, he was very happy, and even the depression he felt from being scolded by his younger sister today was relieved a lot.
Afterwards, Zhao Anping and Zhao Zhimo happily had lunch together, and Zhao Zhimo went to the academy. Zhao Anping first found a good academy and sent Zhao Zhifu there. Then he scolded Jin Shi for being a pig-brained and put her under house arrest.
Zhao Anping frequently went to the rooms of several concubines. When Jin was released from house arrest, he found that some of the four concubines in the mansion were favored, and some were already pregnant.
Jin felt that her status was threatened, and her energy was indeed shifted from her two sons to the backyard. But that is another story.
Zhao Lingmeng was having lunch with the two little ones at this time, and the three of them were eating without even raising their heads.
After finishing the meal and drinking the digestive tea, Yang Chengchen asked curiously, "Aunt, what kind of meat is this made of? It's delicious, and I've never eaten it before."
"It's made of beef, but beef is hard to buy. When the government slaughters beef, they'll post a notice in advance, and people who want to buy it will line up. Each mansion also has a purchase limit, so your mother was right not to buy it."
Zhao Lingmeng explained these things very clearly. She was afraid that the child would make a fuss and insist on eating when he got home, which would put the eldest prince's wife in a difficult position.
When Yang Chengchen heard his aunt say this, he nodded obediently. He understood what his aunt said. It was just that many people were buying, and the quantity was small. With so many people in their mansion, it would be a different matter to decide who would eat and who wouldn't.
He felt even more that his aunt's mansion was the best. There were only a few of them and they could eat whatever they wanted. It was so comfortable.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't care what the little guys thought about all day! Anyway, she taught them new things as usual in the afternoon. When they really understood, she took them to pull weeds again.
Not only does Yang Chengchen rarely return home now, he also cultivates a piece of land in Zhao Lingmeng's house, right next to where Zhao Lingmeng and her mother are farming. He is very enthusiastic.
After a busy day, it was evening and finally time for dinner. Two people tired from studying and three people tired from working hurriedly finished their meal and went their separate ways.
Only Zhao Lingmeng was waiting in the study, although she was also very sleepy.
"Your Highness is really smart, otherwise the Third Young Master and the Duke Ruihe would definitely play for a while before going back to sleep."
Chunshui took the initiative to find a topic of conversation because he was worried that His Highness had fallen asleep, and the study was still a little cold.
Zhao Lingmeng yawned again and complained, "Why is your Master Fan so inactive in doing this kind of thing? When will he come?"
"Your Highness, this servant belongs to your family, not to Master Fan."
As soon as Chunshui finished speaking, Fan Yong pushed the window open and came in.
The voice that came in before Fan Yongren was his joking voice: "Chun Shui is right, she is not from my family."
Zhao Lingmeng had no awareness of the possibility of being overheard when she badmouthed someone behind their back: "You're really late."
Chunshui was so scared that he immediately bowed and retreated to the door of the study, and even closed the door considerately.
