Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 34
The weather suddenly turned cold and it started to rain again, Zhao Qing was worried about his flowers, and was asking for dozens of pots of flowers to be moved to the house, lest the frost hit the beloved flowers.

Therefore, at this time, the Tai'an courtyard was brightly lit and bustling. Steward Hu was commanding his servants in an orderly manner, while chatting with Zhao Qing about family affairs.

When Guanshi Hu mentioned that the fourth girl, Zhao Jinyi, was going to visit the third girl in the third room, but was blocked from the door, Zhao Qing's brows were furrowed so deep that they could kill a few flies: "Yi'er is so kind to visit, but she is still there." Rejected? I think that kid Zhao Chenghuan is getting impatient."

Manager Hu didn't dare to go along with the old man, he just smiled and said, "Perhaps the third girl is ill, and the third master is worried that the fourth girl will get angry when she gets sick."

Zhao Qing snorted: "Is he so kind?"

After despising his youngest son, Zhao Qing asked again: "What happened next?"

Manager Hu didn't dare to hide anything: "The fourth girl bribed Madam Wang, who was guarding the gate of the third room, to pass the news to the third girl. Later, the old slave came to you." He didn't know what happened afterwards.Alas, as the old man's eyes and ears at home, Manager Hu feels a little tired.

Zhao Qingdao: "If there is something wrong with the clothes, they will definitely find me. No, if she is grounded by the second daughter-in-law like last time, she will have nothing to do. Hu Guanshi, Hu Guanshi, you are coming to the fourth girl's house soon." Let's see in the yard, is the fourth girl okay?"

Manager Hu looked at the unfinished flower pots: "This..."

Zhao Qing was concerned about his granddaughter, and hurriedly urged Guanshi Hu: "There is no need for you to move."

This sentence is a bit embarrassing.Manager Hu was dejected, holding an umbrella, and went out together with the servants carrying lanterns.He was about to step over the threshold when he suddenly saw a thin shadow running towards him crookedly not far away.

Although Guanshi Hu is getting old, he is not old-eyed yet.

He fixed his eyes and couldn't help shivering. The umbrella in his hand fell to the ground and was quickly blown away by the cold wind.

The deeper the night, the tighter the wind, and the heavier the chill.

Zhao family, in the three-bedroom courtyard.

Zhao Jinyun tightly pinched the skirt of his chest, bit his lip, and looked at her mother in despair.

She shouted: "Aniang, don't you hate those concubines the most in your life? Why do you want your daughter to be someone else's concubine!"

Zhu's lips were pale, she was wearing her favorite blue-and-year-old dark dress, and her hair was combed extremely smoothly.Sitting upright on the rose chair, she watched two strong servants help her daughter change into the diy clothes, and the daughter was trembling with fear, begging her for help and questioning her.

How could she want her daughter to be a concubine for that man who was older than her!

She has always been thinking about choosing a satisfactory marriage for her daughter.The background of the son-in-law does not need to be too high, as long as he is good to his daughter wholeheartedly, unlike her husband, who accepts concubines one by one and gives birth to a litter of concubines and concubines.The life of the two of them, even if they live in poverty... She was honest before, and she wanted to ask her niece to look after her son-in-law for her.She thought that, thanks to her niece, her daughter could also find a man like her uncle.

But Zhao Chenghuan couldn't wait to send his daughter to that old man to be a concubine.

She wants to gag!

Zhu Shi trembled all over.She originally thought that even if Zhao Chenghuan didn't care about her, how much would her own flesh and blood love her?But he never expected that Zhao Chenghuan was extremely selfish and said that the wind was the rain, but after only coming home for a day, he told her that he was going to send his daughter away tonight!

She brought up her daughter so hard, why... why...

Zhu Shi closed her eyes, and clear tears flowed down.

"Yun'er, mother, I'm sorry..." Zhu choked up, "If there is an afterlife, you must never be A mother's daughter again..."

Desperation and fear kept coming up, Zhao Jinyun bit her beautiful lips to the point of bleeding: "Aniang, if you agreed to my marriage with Saburo earlier, I wouldn't have to be someone else's concubine! Besides, isn't he still Is there Zhao Jinqing?" Zhao Jinyun's temperament has always been pure and good, and he has always treated his concubine younger sisters equally.But now that the pure and good rabbit is being pushed into a hurry, he can even speak indiscriminately.

But Zhao Jinqing was not as good-looking as her daughter, her manners were not as dignified as her daughter, and she was not as a legitimate daughter as her daughter.Zhu Shi suddenly hated herself again, she was not as good as a concubine!

She opened her eyes, coaxing Zhao Jinyun like she did when she was a child: "Yun'er, be good, if there is an afterlife, Saburo Shi will wait for you..."

Zhao Jinyun smiled suddenly, and tears filled her beautiful almond eyes: "My mother is not doing well, so I want my daughter to have a bad life. My mother is so selfish."

Zhu's heart was cut like a knife: "Yun'er..."

Looking at the dark night outside the window, Zhao Jinyun suddenly let go of his hand: "He's not here, is he going to deal with the fourth sister?" She was so disgusted with that person that she didn't even want to call daddy.

Zhu saved her daughter from passing a note for help to Zhao Jinyi, but Zhao Jinyi is a girl from the second room, and she would not hesitate to turn against her uncle to save the cousin from the third room?
It was Zhao Jinyi who wanted to save her, but what she met was Zhao Chenghuan who wanted to send his own daughter to his kang.

Zhao Jinyi's intelligence is only compared to the juniors of the Zhao family who are not deeply involved in the Zhao family.Zhao Chenghuan has been immersed in the officialdom for many years, how can Zhao Jinyi be her opponent?

The two maids took the opportunity to strip off Zhao Jinyun's clothes.While moving, they said: "Fourth Miss, don't let the old slaves make things difficult."

Zhao Jinyun's face was ashen, and his eyes were dull.Her Saburo, Saburo... Others said he was not good, but he was obviously very good... She still remembered that when she first met Sanlang in Chunguang Pavilion, she heard someone next to him making fun of him: "That man is a madman. If you don't read well, you have to make excuses for not wanting to be with others."

She took a peek and saw the autumn light by the window just in time, and the handsome scholar who was leaning against the window probably heard others talking about him, and his ears turned red secretly.

At that time, she thought in her heart, the man whose ears turned red when he heard others criticize him must have a soft heart.

She observed secretly a few times and knew that he likes to study in Chunguang Pavilion the most.

It was her first move.

She deliberately threw the veil near him, and then secretly hid aside to observe him.

But he just looked at his book and didn't look up for a long time. Her veil was almost picked up by someone else.But when the man was about to lean over to pick up the veil, he stepped forward and picked it up: "Sorry, I didn't intend to lose the veil."

His hands are also pretty.

She pretended to be looking for a handkerchief, and when she came to him in a panic, he stopped her, got up with a smile, and handed her a book.

Her handkerchief is sandwiched in the book.

How could he save that the handkerchief was hers?Could it be that her every move is under his watch?She was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to rush out the door, and behind him he said in a gentle voice: "I know you, you are the third girl of the Zhao family. It is said that the third girl of the Zhao family is exquisite in embroidery, and seeing her today, she really lives up to her reputation."

She slowly raised her head and looked into his clear eyes.

They agreed that he was not the eldest son and would not inherit the family business. He had no intention of being an official, but he could do other things for a living.After the two got married, they moved out and lived their own lives behind closed doors.

But now, she is about to lose her Saburo, and will never see him again.

She would not be a concubine for others, she would rather die.I hope that in the next life, she can still marry Saburo innocently.

Zhai changed his clothes.

Although Zhao Jinyun's complexion is not good, she has a beautiful appearance, and she is even more beautiful and dignified in Zhai clothes.

Zhao Jinyun's eyes fell on the basket on the low table.There was a pair of sharp scissors in the basket, although it was small, it was enough to poke into his body.
