Chapter 55

At noon the next day, as soon as the carriage arrived at the corner gate of Yang's mansion, he heard Yang Baojia's laughter. Lin Zhao got off the carriage, saw the man, and immediately pulled her in. It's set up in the main room, let's eat together."

Lin Zhao replied with a smile, "Of course, I came here on an empty stomach to grab a meal."

"It's my good fortune that Second Miss Lin can eat at my table."

The two entered the main room with a smile. Xiao Ci had already laid out all the food, and they were seated in greeting. Yang Baojia said, "Try this chicken, it is simmered with Codonopsis ginseng. It has been cooked in the kitchen all morning. I specially tasted it and it was delicious." Not bad, try it too."

Lin Zhao nodded, the chicken was chewed in his mouth without any firewood, and it melted in his mouth. He couldn't help but said, "It's really good." Turning back to the spring equinox, "You also learn."

Chun Equinox said: "This looks very complicated, I can't do it."

Yang Baojia couldn't help laughing, put down his chopsticks and sipped his tea, and looked at Lin Zhao, who was chewing slowly. , I heard Lin Zhao say: "You are two months older than me, I'm going out of the boudoir, why didn't I hear that your family was talking to you?"

Yang Baojia was taken aback, but Lin Zhao preemptively said, "Marriage is a major event in a girl's life, how can it be easily settled." Speaking of this, he lowered his head a little ashamed, "Besides... this Qing capital is full of greed. If you want to have fun, don’t take advantage of them.”

Little Thorn listened to it and sniggered.

Lin Zhao looked at her appearance, or someone who already had joy in his heart, and simply said: "If this is the case, then the fat water will not flow to outsiders. How about you marrying my eldest brother and being my sister-in-law? We will be together in the future. I can also give you all the twelve writing styles of Linghe style."

Hearing this, Yang Baojia's face turned red instantly, burning even the roots of his ears, he picked up a bean sprout and threw it at Lin Zhao, angrily said: "What are you talking about, damn girl, if you say that, I'd rather Not learn."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Ci said lightly, "You two girls, let's have a good meal."

"That's right, I can't stop the girl's mouth after eating."

The vernal equinox also chimed in.

Yang Baojia scooped up a bowl of clear porridge for Lin Zhao and handed it over. The man took it, and suddenly heard someone from outside the courtyard saying, "Miss, the second cousin is here."

The little thorn hurriedly said: "Miss, there are guests here, I will tell you, please sit in the west room first, and wait for the mistress to entertain you."

Yang Baojia glanced at Lin Zhao, the man nodded and said, "It's okay, let cousin come in."

The one who came was a girl with a slender figure. Due to the warmer weather and thin clothes, her high shoulders and arms were frighteningly thinner. Her face was beautiful but full of sorrow, and the corners of her eyes were also slightly black, which showed that she did not sleep yesterday. Okay, seeing outsiders, I was a little cautious, so Yang Baojia quickly recommended them, and the two sat down after paying respects.

Yang Baojia saw that she was in a sluggish state, and asked why, but Zhao Yi seemed to have opened the gate, and before he could speak, tears began to flow down, covered with a handkerchief, his shoulders trembled, extremely sad.

Yang Baojia was a little embarrassed, and it was really wrong for Lin Zhao to see this scene, but Lin Zhao handed Zhao Yi his own handkerchief, and said calmly, "What's going on? Come on, crying like this won't solve any problems." Yes, since you are here today, you must discuss it with Baojia."

Zhao Yi nodded, and then said while pinching the veil, with red eyes.

She married Xu Ruoling, the eldest son of the servant of the Ministry of Industry, years ago. She was ashamed to say that she saw this man at the banquet for a year, and fell in love with him. She went back and begged her parents, and the marriage was concluded. It's Wumen, and as cousins, Zhao's family doesn't care about literary sentiments, but Xu's family cares about family style, so they didn't get hired. Instead, Zhao's family took a lot of dowry, which became the biggest joke at that time.

After getting married, Xu Ruoling was even more displeased when she learned that Zhao Yi had learned martial arts since she was a child. Zhao Yi was left out in the cold together, and the people in the house followed suit, making Zhao Yi's life even more miserable.

"I...I know that he doesn't like martial arts students, so I study hard and stop using knives and guns." Zhao Yi choked up, and the grievances in his stomach were like a torrential rain, "But when he saw me holding the scroll in my hand, Said I was... was Dong... Dong..."

"Dong Shi imitates me." Yang Baojia was extremely helpless, and held Zhao Yi's hand, and the man shook it back. After all, it was the foundation of practicing kung fu since childhood. The strength was quite strong, and she couldn't help frowning in pain.

"It is said that even if I ate the pages of the book, I would not be as good as Li Can." Zhao Yi said, crying, "It is said that I did not listen to my parents' persuasion and insisted on marrying him. My mother-in-law doesn’t like me, she only talks to Li Can every day, as if I’m dead.”

She couldn't go on anymore, and she burst into tears.

Lin Zhao looked at Zhao Yi's figure, he was afraid that this person had thinned himself out in order to look like a soft-hearted scholar, he felt annoyed, why did he humiliate himself like this for a cold-hearted man? There were tears in her eyes, and she comforted her: "Cousin, you can't keep Xu Ruoling's heart like this, why bother?"

"But I can't spend my whole life in that mansion." Zhao Yi said.

Lin Zhao understands this. Zhao Yi's current predicament is nothing compared to his own back then, but Zhao Yi obviously has no heart of his own. After thinking about it, he said: "Xu Ruoling doesn't like you because of their Xu family The smell of books is not strong, and now the saint is more civilized than military, whether it is the trend of the upward trend or to put money on his face, he will not care about you, and will resent you for lowering the reputation of their Xu family. How can a girl who practices martial arts compare to Li Can, who is full of knowledge."

Zhao Yi raised her head, it was indeed the truth, if she had had this consideration back then, she wouldn't have put herself in dire straits.

"It's all because of my own fault." She still said the same sad words.

"It's not your fault." Yang Baojia said.

"It's not her fault, but it's her fault if you feel sorry for yourself."

Lin Zhao said bluntly, Zhao Yi looked at her aggrievedly, and murmured: "What does the girl mean?"

"Why do you have to flatter Xu Ruoling's wishes?" Lin Zhao pointedly said, "You can't compare Li Can's writing and ink, but Li Can doesn't have the martial arts in your body. Why don't you use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses?"

Yang Baojia was also stunned: "Mingwei, what do you mean..."

"That's right." Lin Zhao continued, "If you can't learn it, don't learn it. Besides, Xu's books are not very fragrant. He may not be able to get along with Li Can's poems and books. Most of them are just trying to gain fame. You may not really like it. You don't have to vote for it." What he likes is to just be himself. He is tired of Li Can's culture, and he may notice your wanton and free and easy. Even if it doesn't work, you still did what you like. The marriage cannot be changed, but how to live in the future, It's your choice too."

Yang Baojia clapped his hands and said that was the reason, and said to Zhao Yi, who was somewhat awakened: "Ming Wei is right, doesn't that Xu Ruoling know how to be a three-legged cat? Cousin, you have worked hard since you were young, and you must be better than him. You can listen to it with sour words and stinky ink." There are too many, how can you not be moved when you hear the sound of the sword piercing through the air."

After all, he realized that the sour prose and stinky ink he used was a bit reckless, and quickly said to Lin Zhao: "What Li Can said must be some sour prose and stinky ink, you are not, you are not."

Lin Zhao smiled, she didn't mind.

Zhao Yi blinked, her expression was much more relaxed than when she came here, and she gave Lin Zhao a grateful look, and she already had an idea in her heart.
