The dishes on the dinner table are extremely exquisite, and even the wine bottles are exquisitely decorated with cloisonné enamel.

Mrs. Pan and the two legitimate sons of the Zhao family also came out to accompany the guests. They were all bright and handsome, and they looked at Chen Huaixian with eager eyes.

At the wine table, Zhao Mingtang seemed to accidentally talk about the incompetence of his two legitimate sons: "They are already in their teens, and they can't do anything in the military..."

Chen Huaixian listened with a smile and said: "You two young masters are still young, so there is no need to worry."

Zhao Mingtang laughed dryly: "How can I not be anxious... I have no choice but to persuade myself like this, hoping that the two bastards will become more sensible in the future."

The two legitimate sons also took the opportunity to stand up and toast Chen Huaixian: "Please give me your advice in the future."

Chen Huaixian nodded slightly, but did not agree but did not shirk: "Easy to say, easy to say..."

The two were chatting when they suddenly heard the sound of lotus steps moving lightly and rings jingling, and then a deliberately coquettish female voice sounded: "Daddy..."

Zhao Mingtang looked surprised and apologetic: "Oh, Mr. Chen Hou, this is my little daughter, Xiyun, why don't you come and pay homage to Mr. Hou..."

Zhao Xiyun came over at a leisurely pace and saluted Chen Huaixian: "Xiyun pays homage to the Marquis."

After the salute, Zhao Xiyun boldly raised his eyes to look at Chen Huaixian, surprise flashing across his eyes.

This man was too tall and mighty: his face was full of beard and he had a tall and straight figure, which made him feel oppressive.

Perhaps because of the thick stubble, he looks much older than he really is.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

He is a mighty lord.

Chen Huaixian raised his hand slightly and said in a gentle tone: "Miss Zhao, you don't have to be polite."

Seeing that Chen Huaixian was not disgusted, Zhao Mingtang suddenly felt that something was funny and burst out laughing.

"My daughter Xiyun heard that Mr. Chen was brave and good at fighting and came back victorious. She admired him very much, so she had the courage to come and admire the heroic demeanor..."

Chen Huaixian still nodded slightly, but suddenly interrupted Zhao Mingtang: "Master Zhao only has this daughter?"

Zhao Mingtang's laughter paused momentarily: What? Is he not satisfied with Xiyun?
He subconsciously looked at his step-wife Pan.

Mrs. Pan also changed her expression slightly, and replied with a forced smile: "There are still a few concubines in the house who are of low status. We dare not let them come out and disturb the distinguished guests."

"Oh? Then this is the only legitimate daughter?"

Mrs. Pan was stunned again, and immediately looked at Zhao Mingtang for help: Master, what is going on! ?
Zhao Mingtang laughed dryly: "There is also a legitimate daughter in the family. Because she has been practicing medicine outside all year round, there are no rules. I was afraid of offending the distinguished guests, so I didn't dare to call her out..."

"Practicing medicine outside? That's helping the world and saving people! Such compassion is admirable!" Chen Huaixian immediately showed an interested look.

Zhao Mingtang had no choice but to say: "Then I ask her to come out to pay tribute to the Marquis?"

Chen Huai leaned back and said, "Okay."

Zhao Zhi was in his small courtyard, watching the maids sweeping the dust all over the sky. Before they finished sweeping, they heard the sound of hurried running in the front yard heading this way.

As soon as the person entered the courtyard, he was urged: "Miss, the master asked you to meet the guests. Please dress up immediately and go to meet the guests."

Zhao Zhi was not annoyed when he heard this. He pointed to the dusty yard and sneered: "Where can I wash up and dress up? Here?"

The servants who were in action paused, and instantly regretted that they had intentionally not sprinkled the water to intimidate the eldest lady.

Asking someone to catch her, and delaying the master of the front yard to let the young lady see the guests, I'm afraid she will be in trouble!
So the maids immediately sprinkled water and washed the windows. The housekeeper was also surprised: Can't these damn things distinguish their priorities? !
But now is not the time to care about it. She pointed to the yard next door: "Can I go to the second lady's yard to freshen up?"

Zhao Zhi said coldly: "No. I'm right here. I'll freshen up whenever this place is cleaned up."

The housekeeper was so anxious that she broke into sweat: "Are you all dead? Hurry up!"

"Yes!"

The servants didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly. They almost wiped out the afterimage with the broom and rag. They were so tired that they were panting and coughing due to the dust.

At any rate, I finished cleaning up in one go, and the time it took to burn an incense stick passed by.

The housekeeper smiled awkwardly: "Miss, please be considerate of me and change your clothes before meeting the guests. If you are late, the master will be angry again."

Zhao Zhi didn't want to go, but he thought that since he was away from the capital all year round, his mother's grave sometimes had to be cleaned by his father...

Nothing more...

"it is good."

In the front yard, Chen Huaixian took his time and took a sip of the wine in his glass from time to time, but refused to drink more. He only smiled faintly at Zhao Mingtang and took two bites of the food in a polite manner.

Zhao Mingtang could clearly see that Chen Huaixian was absent-minded.

He was absent-minded and did not get up to say goodbye. He even glanced at the door from time to time. His purpose was obvious!
He is waiting to see his other legitimate daughter!

Although the legitimate daughter is not as obedient as the one in front of her, as long as she is her own daughter, it will be the same no matter which one she marries.
As long as Marquis Weiwu is his son-in-law, he cannot ignore his family!

Zhao Mingtang couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the steward: "Why don't you go urge me?"

The steward trotted away, and not long after, he heard the jingle of the ring, and a tall figure in a light pink dress appeared at the door.

Chen Huaixian couldn't help but look forward to it and looked carefully.

The one who walked in was Zhao Zhi.

Zhao Zhi, who was dressed in a pink women's dress, had several gold hairpins on her head, and a set of gold and jade earrings and necklaces on her head...

At first glance, it seemed that he had been carefully dressed up, but Chen Huaixian could tell at a glance: this dress and accessories did not match Zhao Zhi's temperament and appearance at all!

It's like borrowing a girl's clothes and jewelry to wear!
Chen Huaixian's eyes flashed with pity, and he said bluntly: "This dress is not suitable for you."

Mrs. Pan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Zhao Mingtang with some guilt, fearing that Zhao Mingtang would see the clues.

Fortunately, Zhao Mingtang had no research on women's clothing matching, so he just explained it to Chen Huaixian with a smile.

"My daughter practices medicine outside all year round and doesn't know how to dress up... which makes the Marquis laugh."

However, Zhao Xiyun couldn't help but feel proud. She took a step forward and pretended to hold Zhao Zhi's hand: "Sister, are you back? I haven't seen you for a long time..."

"If you don't have suitable clothes, you can go to my place and my sister will help you match them."

Zhao Zhi had a cold face and ignored Zhao Xiyun, but he was accusing Chen Huaixian with his eyes: Did he suddenly come to my house and specify that he wanted to see me to see me embarrassed?
But at this moment, Chen Huaixian nodded in agreement: "These clothes and jewelry don't seem to be yours, but more like your sister's. Don't you have your own clothes at home?"

"Aren't you Mr. Zhao's legitimate daughter?" (End of Chapter)
