Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 119

The girl's eyes seemed to be looking at Zhao Chenghuan casually.

No news from Changchun was found, how could she let Zhao Chenghuan go.

Everyone was a little puzzled, didn't Zhao Jinyi and Zhao Chenghuan have some disagreements, why did she have something to ask Zhao Chenghuan in the blink of an eye?

Under the eyes of everyone, Zhao Chenghuan had no choice but to say: "Yi'er wants to ask for advice, third uncle will naturally not hesitate to teach."

As for his daughter asking her younger brother for advice, Zhao Chengde was naturally happy to see it succeed, and hurriedly said: "Then you hurry up and talk, don't delay your third uncle's affairs."

Zhao Jinyi said nothing, but looked at Zhao Chenghuan with a smile on his lips.

What a cunning little fox.

That look seemed to say that if he didn't cooperate, she would reveal the whole thing.

Zhao Chenghuan had no choice but to say: "Since we want to teach and clear up doubts, we naturally have to find a quiet place. I think the old man's study is very good."

For some reason, when he said this, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

In everyone's hearts, there is still a vague desire not to tear each other's faces at this time.Just now what Zhao Chengde said was right, at this time the old man had a stroke, and the Zhao family had to hug each other to keep warm.After all, none of the Zhao family's descendants were outstanding.If you don't hold a group to keep warm, I am afraid that you will soon be lost in the mediocrity like those dilapidated households in Kanglefang.

Since Zhao Chenghuan designated the study room, Zhao Jinyi naturally followed suit.

The others still went back to their respective rooms.

Zhao Chengde still stayed by the old man's side, Wu Shi felt sorry for her husband, and wanted to stay to say a few words of kindness, but saw that her sister-in-law Huang was still staying where she was.

Everyone dispersed, and Mrs. Huang had something to say to the couple.

These years, it is fair for Mrs. Huang to work on Zhao's family all by herself.Zhao Chengde and his wife still respect this sister-in-law who has been alone for many years.

Zhao Chenghuan didn't live up to it. The old man was ill, so it was most normal for Mrs. Huang to stay and discuss things with them.

Immediately, with a decent smile on Wu Shi's face, he looked at his sister-in-law Huang Shi.

Huang took a sip of tea in an unhurried manner, and then slowly said: "Second uncle, second younger sibling, do you think it's okay for my sister-in-law to work hard for Zhao's family all these years?"

Zhao Chengde said: "My sister-in-law has worked hard to manage the rewards of this big family. It is fair and just. The second brother has always been convinced."

Huang put down the teacup and looked at Zhao Chenghuan and his wife.Zhao Chengde has always been a kind-hearted man who makes money, so there is nothing to be afraid of.In the second room, it is Mrs. Wu who is in charge.

So she looked at Mrs. Wu with a serious expression but with an amiable smile: "Our Zhao family can be regarded as a respectable family in Kanglefang. But the second uncle and younger siblings have also seen that our next generation, But it’s really not up to snuff. If the Zhao family wants to live a wealthy life by relying on their sons and daughters to be officials, it may be difficult for the Zhao family to ascend to the sky.”

Zhao Chengde frowned slightly. Although it is good to be rich and powerful, an ordinary life is also rare.

The expression on Wu's face has not changed.

Neither of the couple agreed with Huang.

Mrs. Huang was not timid, and just said, "I'm not hiding it from you guys. My natal family has a connection. I learned that Tian's family is going to choose a concubine in April. I've always been a happy person. I think the Tian family's choice of concubine this time , is a great opportunity for our Zhao family."

The couple still didn't make a sound, they only looked at Huang Shi with four burning eyes.

Huang Shi was still not timid, and directly pointed out: "Yi'er has always been smart, if she enters the palace, she will definitely earn the Zhao family a wealth of wealth and supreme favor."

Zhao Chengde looked at his sister-in-law in surprise, as if looking at some monster: "Sister-in-law finished?"

Huang nodded: "It's over."

Zhao Chengde's waist suddenly straightened up: "The Zhao family doesn't need overwhelming wealth and supreme favor, and they don't need to sacrifice my daughter's happiness for the rest of her life."

Wu sneered coldly: "Sister-in-law said so well, why didn't she send Jinhua to the palace? Jinhua has always been beautiful, and she is a famous beauty in the capital. If she enters the palace, the Tian family will definitely favor her Plus."

Mrs. Huang sighed: "Jin Hua was born with good looks, but she is not as smart as clothes. Now that she enters the palace, her eyes will be smeared, maybe she will die."

Wu sneered: "Because of my daughter's intelligence, she wants to go to the palace to seek wealth for the Zhao family? My sister-in-law is also my own aunt who watched Yi'er grow up, so she is so cruel."

Huang's ability to say what he said just now must have done a lot of psychological construction.Her old face was hard: "The old man has only loved clothes for many years, and the best things have been sent to her yard in a steady stream. Now that the Zhao family is in decline, it is time for her to make some contributions to the Zhao family. Besides, I am not Asking her to join the army, but to enter the palace to be a nobleman, this is such a great thing, the people around her are overcrowded, so it may not be possible to choose her."

Mrs. Wu had tens of thousands of words to say to Mrs. Huang, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, she pulled the furious Zhao Chengde and said, "Being reasonable with unreasonable people is actually lowering one's own social status. Our clothes, don't we?" will enter the palace."

Huang's tone was leisurely: "Except for Yi'er, all the girls of the right age around Zhao's family are engaged. I heard that in April, the Heavenly Family will issue a decree, and the daughters of officials' families who have never been engaged will send their portraits to the palace as candidates." .”

Zhao Chengde's expression at this time was as vivid as if someone had stabbed him from the back.

He didn't care about etiquette any more, he just jumped up and cursed: "Poisonous woman!"

Wu Shi almost didn't hold him back.

Zhao Chengde paused, then said angrily, "Separate!"

The eldest brother has been released for many years, and because of his sympathy, he always thought that he had no disrespect for the sister-in-law in front of him.But this poisonous woman actually wanted his beloved daughter to enter the palace to seek wealth for the Zhao family!
"Break up!" Zhao Chengde blushed with anger.

The old man, Zhao Qing, was still lying on the bed with his eyes wide open, looking at the top of the tent.

Huang apparently did not expect that the couple in the second room would love their daughter so much that they would not hesitate to separate.She clenched her hands tightly, trying to suppress the second room with the majesty of a sister-in-law: "The family is separated, if Yi'er doesn't find a good marriage before April, she still has to go to the palace. Second brother, think twice!"

Zhao Chengde was almost so angry that he wanted to swear, but years of self-cultivation made him just swear repeatedly: "Poisonous woman, what have you got to do with me! Hurry up and get the account book, separate the family!"

Mrs. Huang was scolded by Zhao Chengde a few times as a poisonous woman, and she turned her face: "We are the big house, and the third house has also said earlier that the big house supports the old man, and the public property takes up most of the property. The rest is divided equally between the two houses. In the early years, the old man made a deed. If the family is separated, the yards of your two houses will belong to you. As for the gate, you can choose another day to open it! From now on, each of us will go his own way, and our big house will be in decline. Begging outside, you can't rely on your second wife!"

He gasped after speaking, and shouted to his confidant mother outside: "Hurry up and ask the third master to come over and separate the family!"

The confidant's mother is Huang's accompanying room, and she has never married when she is old. Hearing this, she hurriedly came in and persuaded: "Madam, since ancient times, separating families is a matter of hurting muscles and bones, but you must not raise the score easily. Family. If the family is divided, the Zhao family will become a mess!"

The Huang family didn't want to separate the family from the start, and she still wanted to rely on Zhao Jinyi to gain some wealth.Immediately took the handkerchief to wipe away tears: "I am doing it for the good of the Zhao family, but other people don't think so. I have done my best for the Zhao family for many years, and all the bamboo baskets are in vain."

The confidant's mother wanted to persuade her again, but she heard Wu Shi sneer: "I don't want to see your master and servant singing together. Since the first house and the third house are going to be separated, then let's do it. Wuyi, please come here, the third master. Break up!"

In the study room in that wing, Zhao Jinyi forcefully asked Zhao Chenghuan: "Where is Changchun? Did you hurt him? The matter has come to this point, and the third uncle still doesn't understand the pros and cons? Let Changchun go quickly, and draw a line with King Zhong. That's the wise move."

Zhao Chenghuan avoided her eyes and looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall: "So what if we draw a clear line? King Zhong will not let you and me go."
