Chapter 13 Visitors

“It’s my turn to ask you this.” Zhao Yin held several books in his hand.

"The old lady brought us to the theater to listen to the play. Brother, are grandma, grandpa, and grandma okay?" Zhao Wangshu took two steps towards Zhao Yin.

"Grandma and the others are all fine. They just miss you." Zhao Yin looked at Zhao Wangshu and frowned, "Yue'er, why are you so skinny? But the food in the mansion is not suitable for you. Appetite?"

"It's not to your liking, I eat well, I'm not thin, don't talk nonsense." Zhao Wangshu said softly.

"My elder brother was wrong. My little sister is as beautiful as ever, as cute as ever, as well-behaved as ever, and as gentle as ever." Zhao Yin also has a way of coaxing his younger sister.

"That's necessary." Zhao Wangshu proudly raised his chin slightly and smiled brightly, like a blooming flower.

When Yao Zhen heard the conversation between the brother and sister, a smile flashed in his eyes. He dared to fall in love with this incomparably beautiful girl Zhao, who was as narcissistic as his sister.

But his sister also said: "Brother, look at my eldest brother, you should learn from me."

What should you learn?

Do you want to praise your sister?

He knows it, but he can’t say it.

Even if you don’t praise people realistically, it shouldn’t be too false.

His sister is cute, but is she well-behaved? gentle?

"Brother, this is my friend the Lord of Yixing County, and this is her brother Yao Gongzi." Zhao Wangshu introduced both parties.

"Xiaosheng Zhao Yin has met Young Master Yao and met the Lord of Yixing County." Zhao Yin cupped his hands and saluted.

Yao Shanzhi knelt down and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhao."

"Mr. Zhao." Yao Zhen also bowed his hand.

"Little sister, can I take you back to the theater?" Zhao Yin said softly.

Yao Shanzhi glanced sideways at Yao Zhen to see how gentle his eldest brother was.

Yao Zhen turned his head away and ignored her eyes.

The two brothers sent the two sisters into the theater. They watched them enter, politely chatted with them for a few words, and then left one to the left and the other to the right.

Entering the theater, Zhao Wangshu said goodbye to Yao Shanzhi and returned to the Zhao family's private room.

Yao Shanzhi pulled her and reluctantly said: "Yue'er, can I go to the Zhao family to play with you?"

"There is nothing interesting in the Zhao family. You'd better ask me out to play, we can go find some delicious food." Zhao Wangshu doesn't want to be stuck in the house all dayIn the mansion, Yao Shanzhi is her best helper when going out.

Yao Shanzhi’s eyes shone, “You have to keep your word, but you can’t just eat it. You are afraid of getting fat, so you won’t eat with me.”

Zhao Wangshu smiled , said proudly: "I don't get fat by eating."

"I get fat if I eat too much." Yao Shanzhi held his face in his hands, "When I get fat, my mother will let me go to the martial arts training ground to box. ."

"Exercise to lose weight is better than dieting to lose weight." Zhao Wangshu said.

After a few chats, the two separated. " The county master is kind to people." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"You must have never heard of the rumors about the county lord." Zhao Jiahua's stomach no longer hurts so much, and he has the energy to gossip.

“I would like to hear the details.” Zhao Wangshu said with great interest.

“The county owner has an eccentric personality, is moody, and is difficult to get along with. She will beat people if we disagree with her. I was shocked when I met her in front of the cleaning room, for fear that she would scold us. "

In order to prove that what he said is true, Zhao Jiahua also cited two examples, "The county boss once kicked the third son of the Changxing Prince's Palace down the stairs and slapped the fifth girl of the Xu family. ."

"I don't think the county boss looks like an unreasonable person. Those two people must have done something to anger the county boss, so they were taught a lesson by the county boss." Zhao Wangshu told Yao Shan Gardenia’s impression is pretty good.

Just as Zhao Jiahua was about to say something, the play on the stage was finished and it was time for them to return to the mansion.

The purpose of going out to watch the theater was successfully achieved. Old Mrs. Zhao was satisfied. Except for Zhao Wangshu, the girls were all uninterested.

However, Mrs. Zhao also has regrets, "It's a pity that the eldest son Yao didn't come with us."

Eyes, this marriage can be accomplished." Mrs. Zhao Er said confidently.

"The eldest princess Pingyang has high standards and may not look down on the girls in our family. In my opinion, it would be good to marry the second or third son of the Yao family." Mrs. Zhao is more practical. .

Mrs. Zhao glanced at her, took a sip of tea from the cup, and said nothing.

Two days later, Ms. Zhao Cui came to the mansion to visit her granddaughter.

Zhao Wangshu is studying "Rhythm Enlightenment" with Mr. Mo: "Picking shepherd girls, picking lotus babies, chrysanthemum paths facing the moss steps. The poems are paired with six meanings, and the music is played with eight tones. Make up the rhythm. I mourn Qin Faku."

The little girl came over to invite, "Miss Shu, the old lady asked you to go to the bedroom. Someone is coming to your family."

Zhao Wangshu asked Mr. Mo for leave and went to the bedroom.

When he entered the door and saw Mrs. Zhao Cui, she happily shouted: "Grandma."

"Oh, my dear." Mrs. Zhao grabbed her People hugged each other.

"Seventh brother and sister are relieved now that they see the person." Old Mrs. Zhao said with a smile but not a smile.

"With my third sister-in-law taking care of me, what can I have to worry about? I can rest assured that my granddaughter has been by my side since she was a child. It's so cold that I haven't seen her in so many days. I'm so scared." Mrs. Zhao Cui also smiled fakely.

In front of Mrs. Zhao’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, there was nothing she could say that was considerate. When Mrs. Zhao Cui left, Zhao Wangshu sent her out, and the grandfather and grandson only exchanged a few words.

Mrs. Zhao Cui also stuffed a purse into Zhao Wangshu, "Don't wrong yourself. If you need to spend the flowers, grandma will come to see you when she has time."

"You I haven't used up what I gave you last time." Zhao Wangshu refused to take it.

"Grandma gives it to you, just take it and be good and obedient." Mrs. Zhao Cui patted her shoulder.

After sending Mrs. Zhao Cui away, Zhao Wangshu went back to his room and opened his purse. Inside were two silver notes of ten taels and fifty taels of broken silver.

Zhao Wangshu put away the banknotes and handed the five taels of broken silver to Mrs. Qiao, "Find someone to exchange the silver for copper plates."

While Zhao Wangshu was arranging things, , Mrs. Zhao and her two daughters-in-law complained a few words about Zhao Cui, and then asked: "My dear, when will your cousin's family arrive?"

"I received the message tomorrow morning. You can enter the city." Mrs. Zhao replied.

The next morning, Mrs. Zhao’s cousin’s family entered the house.

When the girls came in, they saw a fat woman over forty years old sitting in the seat below Mrs. Zhao. She had a smile on her face and looked dignified and kind. She was Zhao. The eldest wife’s cousin-in-law, Mrs. Fang Wu.

Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao were sitting opposite her, and two girls were sitting under Wu.

The older one is Fang Baoxiu, who was born as a concubine, and the younger one is Fang Baozhu, who was born by the Wu family.

Fang Baozhu looks as her name suggests, with round pearls. Fang Baoxiu’s biological mother has passed away and she was raised by her aunt’s mother. Her skin is as delicate as porcelain, her chin is pointed, and she has almond-shaped eyes and willow eyebrows.

The girls met each other and talked about the years. Fang Baoxiu and Zhao Yuyan were in the same year, both thirteen years old. Fang Baozhu and Zhao Shuhui were in the same year. After the Chinese New Year, they would be twelve years old.

Fang Wu stayed in the hall and continued chatting with Mrs. Zhao, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The girls treated the Fang sistersBrought to Nuange.
