Chapter 71 Gift

Zhao Wangshu and Xiao Bin didn’t chat for too long. When she learned that Zhao Jiahua was coming, she came out to accompany him, “I thought you wouldn’t come.”

"My mother asked my father to come and ask your father for advice. I hope I can go to high school next time."

"Why don't you ask my brother for advice? My brother is Jieyuan."

"Uncle asked my nephew for advice. My father doesn't want to lose face." Zhao Jiahua said with a wicked smile.

Zhao Wangshu chuckled and said, "You."

While the two sisters were chatting, Zhao Kuang came and saw that among the guests were many officials from the DPRK and China, he narrowed his eyes. You see, Zhao Cheng's family is really secretive.

At this time, another group of people walked in from outside the door. The leader was Ling Ze, the Minister of Rites. Zhao Kuang hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I have met Lord Ling."

Ling Ze waved his hand, "Master Zhao, there is no need to be polite."

Zhao Kuang saluted those who followed him again: "I have met all of you, sir."

All the officials returned the gift, and one official asked with a smile: "Jie Yuan is also named Zhao. I wonder what it has to do with Mr. Zhao?"

"Zhao Jieyuan is the nephew of the official. Son." Zhao Kuang smiled.

"It turns out he is Mr. Zhao's nephew. He is really a young talent." The official praised.

"Students have met all the adults." Zhao Cheng brought Zhao Yin over, "Brother, you are the guest invited by my younger brother. That will allow you to welcome the guests here and get together with the adults quickly." Please take a seat together."

Everyone present is not stupid, and they are obedient. Ling Ze looked at Zhao Kuang, who was frowning slightly, and smiled meaningfully.

Later, Zhao Kuang discovered that Ling Ze was not the highest-ranking official, and the second assistant Shen Rui also came. He had already accepted Zhao Yin as his disciple.

After the banquet, Zhao Kuang told Mrs. Zhao about this when he went back, and said bitterly: "I don't know when they got involved. I really didn't even say anything before."

"Shen Rui and your seventh uncle were classmates, and they planned to get married back then." Mrs. Zhao said.

“Mother, why didn’t you tell me about such an important thing earlier?” Zhao Kuang was almost furious.

"This is not our family's business. I just heard a few gossips. It has been so long, but I still remember it. Besides, your seventh uncle has been dead for so many years, so there is no friendship. It's gone, how do I know that their families are still in contact?" Mrs. Zhao said angrily.

Although Zhao Kuang was depressed, he couldn’t blame his mother anymore, so he could only say: “I don’t know how other people got involved, especially Ling Ze, who is very close to Zhao Cheng’s family. I didn’t know his granddaughter was still young.I thought he wanted to recruit Zhao Yin as his son-in-law. "

" "You don't need to investigate how they made friends. You'd better think about how to borrow strength." "Old Mrs. Zhao said.

"What mother said is that her son should think about it carefully. "Zhao Kuang stroked his beard and said.

Zhao Cheng's family had no way of knowing what the Zhao family's mother and son had calculated. They were counting the gifts and gifts.

"Place them in the Zhuangyuan Building. Ten tables of wine were served, costing one thousand six hundred taels of silver. Mrs. Zhao Cui reported the expenses.

Ms. Zhao Li calculated the abacus and said, "I received one thousand, seven hundred taels of gift money. The most gift was given to Mr. Shen with 600 taels, and Mr. Ling gave five hundred taels." One hundred taels. "

"How much did the mansion give you? " Zhao Cui asked.

Zhao Li looked at it and said, "Sixty taels. "

"Yang Fengning is still as picky as ever. " Mrs. Zhao Cui curled her lips in disgust.

"My dear daughter, look at the gift list. Who gave the ingot of Qinglanggan gold silk ink? "Zhao Cheng asked.

Zhao Wangshu flipped through the gift list and said, "This is a gift from Qin, a scholar at the Hanlin Academy. "

" Yaren, Yaren. "Zhao Chengle said cheerfully.

"The ink ingot was given to your son, what did you do with it? " Zhao Li said.

"What's my son's is mine. "Zhao Cheng took the ink stick and hurried away.

"Mother, look at this person. "Zhao Li complained dumbfoundedly.

"Let him go. " Zhao Cui smiled.

The three of them continued to count the gifts. Zhao Li saw a pair of yellow glazed window flower and bird viewing vases, "This can be used as a dowry for Yue'er. "

Mrs. Zhao Cui raised her head and said, "Okay. "

"Mother, you think this hat tube is not bad. You can give it to your son-in-law in the future. "Ms. Zhao Li opened a brocade box.

The corners of Zhao Wangshu's mouth twitched, "Mom, I gave this to my eldest brother. "

"What's your eldest brother's is yours. " Zhao Li said.

Zhao Cui also agreed, "Your mother is right. ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law picked out several dowries for Zhao Wangshu. Zhao Wangshu looked at the sky silently. She was really speechless.

After staying in the small courtyard for one night, Zhao Cui Mrs. Zhao sent Zhao Wangshu back to the Zhao family mansion and then returned to Zhuangzi. Mrs. Zhao Li stayed in the city to take care of Zhao Cheng and Zhao Yin.

In the evening of this day, Hong Chang came back and said, "Girl, Mr. Yun I just came back for a long time yesterday. This morning I brought the brocade box to the martial arts hall and asked my slave to bring it to the girl quickly. I'm afraid of this house.Someone there was greedy, so he sent it to the small courtyard. ”

　“That’s right. "Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"It's such a big brocade box, I don't know what it is. "Although Hong Chang was curious, she didn't peek.

"When you see Mr. Yun tomorrow, just tell him thank you. I like the gift very much. "Zhao Wangshu smiled.

"Girl, you didn't even see what it was, so you knew you liked it? "

"I believe him, the things he sends must be what I like. ”

　“Oh. "Hong Chang has a simple and honest personality and cannot understand the meaning behind her girl's words.

Yun Hao has just returned to Beijing from work and must be very busy. Zhao Wangshu did not ask Hong Chang to send a message to ask him out. When it came to Yao Shan Zhi went to Ya Ge and left a message, asking her to go to Ya Ge on the day off.

On the day off, Zhao Wangshu went to Ya Ge. Before Yao Shan Zhi came, she was sitting on the second floor drinking tea and eating snacks. Take a look at the account book by the way.

As she was looking, she heard the sound of brisk footsteps. When she looked up, it was Yao Shanzhi walking over excitedly.

"Yue'er, how long have you been here? "Yao Shanzhi sat down opposite her.

"It's been a while. "Zhao Wangshu looked at her and smiled slightly, "When you got a little bored waiting, I took a look at the account books. "

"The jewelry of Yage is very unique. There are so many people buying it. I have bought several sets. If you make a fortune, you can treat me to dinner at noon. "Yao Shan Zhi said politely.

"Okay, no problem. Zhao Wangshu closed the account book and said, "Let's go shopping first, and then eat when we are hungry." "

"Let's go. "Yao Shanzhi pointed forward and said loudly.

They left Yage and walked along the street. Suddenly, several children jumped out of the alley and rushed directly towards Yao Shanzhi.

Zhao Wangshu had quick eyes and quick hands, and pulled Yao Shanzhi aside to prevent her from falling, "Gardenia, are you okay? "

"I'm fine, Yue'er, what kind of incense did you use? It smells good. " Yao Shanzhi asked.

"I mixed the incense myself. I gave it the name Ruo Yexiang. I used it for the first time today. If you like it, I can give you a bottle. " Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"The leaves floating on the stream add green to the fermented grains, and the springs surround the pine roots to add fragrance to the tea. Yao Shanzhi raised his eyebrows, "Pine branches and tea leaves are used in it." ”

　“Smart. "Zhao Wangshu gave her a thumbs up and praised her. It was this poem that inspired her to create this fragrance.

" Yue'er, I didn't expect that your fragrance mixing skills are so good. ”

“Do you like this fragrance?? ”

　“Like it. "

"Then I'll give you a bottle. "

"Okay, okay, thank you Yue'er. "Yao Shanzhi said happily.
