Daughter of aristocratic family

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 toward Zhao Yin.

"Grandma and the rest are 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 to your liking?"

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

"Big brother is 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 raised his chin proudly 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 incredibly beautiful girl Zhao, who was as narcissistic as his sister.

His sister also said: "Brother, look at my eldest brother, you can learn from this."

What to study?
  Compliment your sister?

He knows it, but he can't say it.

Even if you don't praise people realistically, you can'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 bowed his hands and saluted.

Yao Shanzhi bowed her knee and returned the courtesy, "Hello, Mr. Zhao."

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

"Little sister, can I take you back to the theater, please?" 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, watched them go in, politely chatted with them, and then left one to the left and the other to the right.

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

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

"There is nothing interesting in the Zhao family. You should invite me out to play. We can go find delicious food." Zhao Wangshu doesn't want to be trapped in the mansion all day, and 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're afraid of getting fat, so you won't eat with me."

Zhao Wangshu smiled and said proudly: "I can't get fat by eating."

"I get fat when I eat too much." Yao Shanzhi holds her face in her hands, "When I get fat, my mother makes 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 small talk, the two separated.

Zhao Wangshu returned to the private room and as soon as he sat down, Zhao Jiahua came over and said, "Sister Shu, you are finally back. The county master didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

"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. I was afraid that she would scold us."

In order to prove that what he said is true, Zhao Jiahua also cited two examples. "The county magistrate once kicked the third son of the Changxing Prince down the stairs and slapped the fifth girl of the Xu family." "I don't think the county magistrate is like that." He is an unreasonable person, those two people must have done something to anger the county lord, so they were taught a lesson by the county lord." Zhao Wangshu had a good impression of Yao Shanzhi.

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 had regrets, "It's a pity that Mr. Yao didn't come with us."

"As long as the important matter of marriage and the fate of parents are met by Princess Pingyang, the marriage can be accomplished." Mrs. Zhao Er said with confidence.

"The eldest princess Pingyang has high standards. I'm afraid she 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, Mrs. Zhao Cui came to the mansion to visit her granddaughter.

Zhao Wangshu is studying "Enlightenment of Rhythm" with Mr. Mo: "Girls picking shepherd's purses, picking lotus babies, chrysanthemum paths facing the moss steps. The poems are paired with six meanings, and the music is played with eight notes in harmony. The law makers mourn the cruelty of Qin's laws."

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

Zhao Wangshu took leave from Mr. Mo and went to his room.

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

"Oh, my dear." Mrs. Zhao Cui hugged the person into her arms.

"Seventh brother and sister, please feel relieved now that you see someone." Mrs. Zhao said with 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. She is so cold. I haven't seen her for so many days. I feel panicked." Mrs. Zhao Cui The same fake smile.

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. I will spend the flowers that need to be spent. Grandma will come to see you when she has time."

"I haven't used up what you gave me 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?"

"After receiving the message, we can enter the city tomorrow morning." 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 Mrs. Zhao'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.

They met with the girls and exchanged greetings and talked about their years. Fang Baoxiu and Zhao Yuyan were in the same year and were 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 took the Fang sisters to Nuange.
