A few days later, Mrs. Tianhe’s wife Wang came to visit and met the girl from the Zhao family. She also held Zhao Yuzhen’s hand and praised her affectionately: “He is a good boy and gentle. Polite, dignified and generous."
Zhao Yuzhen lowered his head shyly. Mrs. Zhao laughed twice and said: "Yuzhen is just a country girl, how can she afford such a compliment from my wife?"< br />
"I can afford it, I can afford it. The girl trained by the old lady is first-class." Mrs. Tianhebo complimented with a smile, and took advantage of the opportunity to put the jade bracelet on her wrist. He pulled it out and put it on Zhao Yuzhen.
“Madam, I really can’t have this jade bracelet.” Zhao Yuzhen declined.
"My elders are kind to me." Mrs. Tianhebo touched her hand with satisfaction in her eyes.
Zhao Yuzhen looked at Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao nodded slightly. Zhao Yuzhen accepted the jade bracelet and said, "Thank you, Madam."
After saying a few polite words, Zhao Yuzhen The old lady asked the girls to leave. Mrs. Tianhebo reluctantly pulled Zhao Yuzhen and said: "I like Yuzhen when I see it. I will come to the house to play when I have time in the future."
Zhao Yuzhen He pursed his lips and smiled and said: "As long as Madam doesn't think Yu Zhen is shallow, Yu Zhen will often bother Madam."
"I am only happy that you can come to see me, how can I dislike it?" Tianhe Bo The lady smiled.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Yuzhen took his sisters and left.
Mrs. Tianhebo said directly: "Old lady, I don't like to talk in roundabout ways. I just say what I have to say. I am here today to discuss the marriage between Quanzi and Yuzhen."< br />
"Thank you madam for your love, but Yuzhen is still young, and I have never thought of marrying her so early." Although Mrs. Zhao really wanted to get married, she still had to show off her attitude.
Raise your head to marry a daughter, bow your head to marry a wife.
Mrs. Tianhebo was not surprised by Mrs. Zhao’s flirtation. She smiled and said: “Old lady, I am sincere and want to marry Yuzhen for my son. Please also ask the old lady. Yes."
"Yu Zhen's father and brother are both common people. As for the young master of the uncle's house, Madam, I'd better think about it before making a decision." Mrs. Zhao said this deliberately.
Mrs. Tianhebo smiled and said: "Yu Zhen is gentle and virtuous. I liked her as soon as I saw her, and I am happy to let her be my daughter-in-law."
One of them pretended to be reserved. Rejection, a false and sincere proposal to marry.
After Che Zhuanluo talked back and forth several times, Mrs. Zhao smiled and said: "Madam values Jade True, it is Yu True's blessing. Yu True will be born on the 19th of the first lunar month next year. I wonder if Madam can Are you free to be her guest?"
According to the customs of this dynasty, the girl’s future mother-in-law is usually invited as the guest of honor at the wedding ceremony.
Mrs. Zhao’s words mean that they are equally allowed to marry.
"If I don't have time, I will make time." Mrs. Tianhebo smiled.
The marriage was initially negotiated, and both of them were very happy. Mrs. Zhao stayed with Mrs. Tianhebo for dinner, and Zhao Yuzhen was arranged to accompany Mrs. Tianhebo.
"Madam, please try this white fish juice." Zhao Yuzhen picked up a chopstick and put it into Mrs. Tianhebo's bowl.
“It tastes sweet and mellow, very good.” Mrs. Tianhebo smiled softly. After eating the dish, “You don’t have to take care of me all the time. You can also eat some food yourself.”
"I am lucky to be able to serve my wife well." Zhao Yuzhen smiled shyly.
"Good boy." Mrs. Tianhebo praised with a smile.
Under Zhao Yuzhen’s attentive service, Mrs. Tianhebo enjoyed her meal very happily and satisfactorily, and she fell in love with Zhao Yuzhen even more.
Seeing that Zhao Yuzhen was liked by Mrs. Tianhebo, Zhao Yuyan and the others were very envious.
Fang Baozhu even took Zhao Yuzhen’s arm, looked at the jade bracelet, and said: "This jade bracelet has a good water color, is shiny and shiny, and is worth at least a thousand taels of silver."
“Wow! Is it so valuable?” Zhao Yuyan and others exclaimed.
“Sister Zhen, Mrs. Tianhebo is so kind to you!”
Zhao Yuzhen twitched the corners of her lips, her smile not reaching her eyes.
Two days later, on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, Mrs. Zhao turned 38 years old.
Although he is a casual student, Zhao Kuang now has the highest official position in the Zhao family. When his wife celebrates her birthday, even if there is not a big banquet, there will be more than a dozen banquets prepared to make it lively.
Zhao Wangshu was very happy to see his mother who came to drink birthday wine. He knew that his mother came to drink birthday wine just to see her. After all, in the past few years, his mother had not come to the mansion to have wine.
"Mother, this is the house I live in. Look at it, is it okay?"
Mrs. Zhao Li looked around and checked the bedding. Houbo, charcoal stove, fire dragon, etc., after confirming that the mansion had not treated Zhao Wangshu badly, he said with satisfaction: "It's not bad."
The mother and daughter sat in the room for a while and said a few words of personal sincerity. , went out to the banquet living room, and met Mrs. Zhao Er and her natal sister-in-law Zhong Zhu on the way.
Mrs. Zhong Zhu’s eyes lit up when she saw Zhao Wangshu. When she and Mrs. Zhao sat down in Nuang Pavilion, she asked: "Sister, that girl just now is really handsome. Is she Zhao Wangshu?" How many children are there in the house? How old are they this year?"
"Sister, it is a good thing that your husband's family is prosperous, but it is your mother's family that gives a married woman the confidence, Qiao'er Now he is seventeen years old. He will take the imperial examination in the next year and will definitely pass the high school. It would be great if the Zhong and Zhao families could get married." Mrs. Zhong and Zhu looked at Mrs. Zhao expectantly.
The second Mrs. Zhao was not completely confused and waved her hand, "Not to mention that Qiao'er is still white. Even if he becomes an official, he will only be a low-ranking official. The old lady will not look down on him. ."
"Isn't it because I have a sister to help me?" Zhong Zhu said with a smile.
"I can't help with this matter. That Yuzhen you met earlier, do you know which family the old lady promised her?"
"I heard it seems that it is The eldest son of Tianhe Bo Mansion, can't it be true?"
"It's true." Mrs. Zhao Er picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, "Yu Zhen has an ordinary appearance, and is married well. This is the uncle's house. People like Wang Shu are like immortals. Qiao'er is not blessed."
It is not a good thing for ordinary people to marry a beautiful wife. Being able to marry her is not considered a skill, she must be protected. Just fine.
Mrs. Zhong Zhu said displeasedly: "Sister, Qiao'er is your nephew, you are going too far."
In Mrs. Zhong Zhu's heart, her son , more than enough to match the immortal.
"Tell the truth, if you don't want to hear it, then I won't tell you anything, and don't think about kissing me back. I really can't make the decision on this matter." Mrs. Zhao Er was at her mother's house. People made no secret of the fact that she couldn't speak at her husband's house.
"Sister, you have to take Qiao'er's marriage seriously." Among the wealthy people that Zhong Zhu can come into contact with, the Zhao family has the highest official position. They all have to get entangled with the increasingly prosperous Zhao family.
"Let's wait until Qiao'er becomes an official. There's no rush." Secretly, Mrs. Zhao Er still wanted to support her mother's family.
When Mrs. Zhong Zhu heard this, she knew that Mrs. Zhao still wanted to kiss her, so she smiled and said, "I would like to thank his aunt on behalf of Qiao'er."
At this time, the maid said outside the door: "Second Madam, the old lady is looking for you."
"It's not enough to have so many maids and women to serve you day by day, so you have to look for me." Zhao The second wife complained, took out the purse she had prepared long ago from the drawer and threw it to Mrs. Zhong Zhu.
The purse was light and weightless. Zhong Zhu squeezed it, smiled, and quickly put it away.
The aunt and sister-in-law left the room and went to the banquet hall.
