Chapter 37 Taking in
Aunt Qi asked in disbelief: "Girl, you really know, right? Are you kidding?"
"I'm not kidding, But you guys sit here for a while and drink tea first, and I will send you there later." Zhao Wangshu did not tell the address directly, but planned to wait for Zhao Jiahua to come before asking her what she meant.
If Zhao Jiahua is not willing to take them back, she will take in the master and servant again. Anyway, the store needs people.
Aunt Qi quickly saluted and said: "Thank you, girl, thank you, girl."
The girl also smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Madam boss, give them a pot of hot tea and two plates of snacks."
"Okay, okay."
After a while, Zhao Yuzhen took Zhao Yuying and Zhao Yuxiu came, and the last one to arrive was Zhao Jiahua. She was visibly happy.
“Sister Hua, are you looking for gold?” Zhao Wangshu asked jokingly.
“I didn’t pick up gold, but I was happier than picking up gold.” Zhao Jiahua held his face in his hands and chuckled.
Zhao Wangshu asked curiously: "What's the matter? Can you tell us?"
"Hee hee hee." Zhao Jiahua laughed so hard that he obviously didn't intend to Share, Zhao Wangshu knew what was interesting and did not ask again.
Zhao Wangshu pulled her aside and told her the identities of the master and servant.
"Sister Shu, thank you for keeping them. I will take them back first." Zhao Jiahua went over to explain his identity to the master and servant.
When I returned to the mansion, I went to see Mrs. Zhao first, listened to her lectures, and then went back to the yard to rest.
In the evening, the girls were going to the room to have dinner with Mrs. Zhao. When they didn’t see Zhao Jiahua, Zhao Wangshu said, “Go and call Miss Hua.”
"Miss Hua hasn't come back yet." The maidservant who knew about it replied.
When they were practicing the piano the next day, Mrs. Zhao came in with Zhao Jiahua and the girl she had met yesterday.
"Sir, this is a child from a relative. From now on, he will go to class with the girls." Mrs. Zhao said with a smile.
"Go and sit on the empty seat over there." The gentleman was referring to the seat left by Zhao Yuzhen after he left.
During the break, Zhao Jiahua introduced to everyone, "This is my cousin Liu Shuqing. Oh, sister Qing, my cousin's name is similar to yours."
Zhao Shuqing smiled, " Hello, Cousin Liu."
"Hello." Liu Shuqing whispered.
After finding out Zhao Wangshu’s identity, Liu Shuqing said solemnly: “Sister Shu, thank you for your help yesterday.”
“It’s a small effort, don’t worry about it.” Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.
The addition of Liu Shuqing did not have much impact on her life. She relied heavily on Zhao Jiahua, and everything else was fine.
In the blink of an eye, it was the third day of March, Zhao Wangshu went out for an appointment with Yaoshan Zhizhi, and she had just left.
Old Mrs. Zhao said to the other girls: "Today is Women's Day. You all should go out and play. Don't be stuck at home all day."
She asked the girls Following Zhao Wangshu, we headed to Chunxi Garden.
In Daliang, Shangsi Festival and Qixi Festival are both Daughter's Days. They both pray to the gods to bless them with wisdom, dexterity, a successful marriage, and a happy life.
The difference lies in the gods worshipped, the place of sacrifice, the method of sacrifice, etc.
The most important thing is that Qixi Festival is a gathering of women, but Shangsi Festival is a gathering of men and women, so Shangsi Festival is also a different kind of Valentine's Day.
"The Book of Songs, Zheng Feng, Qin Wei" once said: "Qin and Wei, the water is clear. The scholar and the daughter, the Yin is full. The woman said: 'Guan Hua?' The scholar said:' That's it.' Let's go and look outside the tree. He is so excited and happy. The Weishi and his daughter teased him and gave him a spoon of medicine."
The Spring Garden is in the east of the city. It is divided into two large courtyards, and the east courtyard is divided into ten small courtyards for visitors to rest and eat.
The west courtyard is centered on the lotus pond, surrounded by rockeries, pavilions, waterside pavilions, flowers and trees, and three winding canals.
One winds along the white wall, one winds through the peach grove, and another surrounds the statue of the Flying Goddess.
Yaoshan Zhiding’s courtyard is called Hefeng Yuan. When Zhao Wangshu arrived, in addition to the Yao family brothers and sisters who were the owners, Chen Xiao, Gao Zhi, Lin Qianyi, and a strange boy.
"This is Miss Zhao, this is Qianyi's cousin Sun Li." Yao Shanzhi solemnly said Zhao Wangshu's surname. As for Lin Qianyi later telling him Zhao Wangshu's name, that was another name. It's the same thing.
"Hello, Miss Zhao." Sun Li's eyes were full of surprise. He thought his cousin was already beautiful enough, but he didn't expect that this Miss Zhao was even more beautiful, with an extraordinary temperament, like a fairy descending to earth.
It’s a pity that he is too young, otherwise, he could beg his mother to come to propose marriage for him.
"Hello, Mr. Sun." Zhao Wangshu bowed slightly and returned the gift, then walked to sit next to Yao Shanzhi.
After a while, Qin Youzi came dressed up, followed by Lu Wenqiu and Fang Jingshu.
Zhu Siyun arrived last. When she saw Zhao Wangshu was there, she raised a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.With a scornful smile, you know that she will not miss the opportunity to cling to the powerful, even if she is well-intentioned, she will not listen.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's go to the waterside to worship Gao Mou first." Yao Shanzhi said.
The God of Gao Mou is in charge of marriage and reproduction. Unmarried men and women worship Gao Mou in order to pray for a good marriage, while married men and women worship Gao Mou only to pray for children.
An incense table has been set up in the wide area by the water, with livestock, dried meat, cakes and other items placed on the table.
The servants handed the lit incense into everyone's hands, held the lit incense in their hands, and bowed three times,
"The ceremony is completed!" Yao Zhen said loudly.
Everyone responded in unison: "It's done!"
Just as Zhao Wangshu went to the peach forest with Yao Shanzhi to worship, other girls from the Zhao family arrived at Chunxi Mrs. Zhao did not reserve a yard for them, so they could only go to the West Garden to play.
Zhao Shuqing came up with a plan and quietly landed at the end, running to ask the steward of Chunxi Garden, "Which courtyard is the Lord of Yixing County in?"
The steward looked her up and down. After a while, "You are not a guest invited by the county master, and you cannot go to the county master's yard."
Zhao Shuqing couldn't help but feel timid after hearing this. She is not a good liar. Being able to come and ask questions is already a good thing. Gathered up the courage.
When the steward said this, she immediately lost confidence. Although she wanted to see Chen Xiao, she did not dare to say anything more.
She hurriedly walked to catch up with the sisters in front of her, but did not notice the strange eyes of the maid next to her.
When she caught up with her sisters, she heard Zhao Yuxiu say: "Let's go to the peach blossom forest. The peach blossoms are blooming and the fallen flowers are beautiful. It must be beautiful."
"Let's go to the peach blossom forest first. Go to the Peach Blossom Forest and see the Flying Goddess." Zhao Yuyan, as the eldest girl present, made up her mind.
Zhao Shuqing's mood was like a gloomy sky. She had completely lost interest in playing and followed the crowd dejectedly. She didn't look up until she heard Zhao Yuying shout: "Sister Shu."
Across the crowd, she saw the man she had longed for. He was wearing a blue brocade robe with dark patterns and a jade belt tied around his waist. His figure was as tall and tall as a pine tree.
The peach forest behind him made him look like a character in a painting. Zhao Shuqing's dim eyes suddenly became brighter, and her heart was filled with immense satisfaction and joy.
"Mr. Chen, I finally see you." She whispered, even the people closest to her couldn't hear her clearly.
