Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 16 Beating
  Now Yao Zhen really regretted his previous soft-heartedness, which made him unable to get off the tiger. He glared at Yao Shanzhi and had an idea. He picked out the poem written by Yao Shanzhi from the poems and said, "My little sister's poem must be the first in the review." , so that it doesn’t go as she expected and makes a fuss again.”

Hearing this, Fang Jingshu and others all looked disappointed.

Yao Shanzhi smiled beamingly, "This is my good big brother."

The corners of Zhao Wangshu's lips raised slightly, and a smile flashed across her eyes. She had misunderstood Yao Shanzhi. Yao Shanzhi was not cheating on him, but helping him.

Even if the daughter of the eldest princess is not a human spirit, she will not be a simple little white rabbit.

"I still have something to do. You accompany your friend to enjoy the flowers." Yao Zhen stood up and left.

After admiring the flowers and writing poems, there is no need to continue sitting in the flower-viewing pavilion. After all, it is not as warm as indoors.

Back in the house, the maid served new tea and snacks to several people.

After chatting for a while, a servant came to report: "County Master, the banquet is ready."

"There is fresh venison today. I will have it roasted on the porch and brought in. Just wait and eat." Yao Shanzhi asked everyone to move forward with a smile.

"There is fresh venison. You can roast it yourself to enjoy the taste." Sun Miaoyu said with a smile.

Yao Shanzhi waved his hand and said, "No, last time we grilled it by ourselves, the meat was uncooked on the inside and there was blood, but the outside was burnt."

"That's because the meat was cut too thickly. I know how to grill it, and I'll teach you." Sun Miaoyu said, while Sun Miaoying was beside her, tugging at the corner of her clothes.

Yao Shanzhi thought for a while, "Let's do it this way. If you want to bake it yourself, just follow Miao Yu's example. If you don't want to bake it yourself, let your servants bake it. How about that?"

"Okay."

It was promised, and the only ones who took action were the Sun sisters, Lu Wenqiu and Yao Muhe.

Zhao Wangshu didn't want to be smoked by the oil, so he sat there and waited for the ready-made food.

People are always so fond of looking at Shu that Lu Wenqiu ate and felt dissatisfied. "It's best to drink some wine to make the barbecue delicious. Gardenia, let me have a pot of fruit bar."

"If you want to drink, go back to your house and drink. I don't dare to give you another drink. Last time you were drunk and acted crazy, which made me miserable." Yao Shanzhi looked like she was still frightened.

Lu Wenqiu blushed, but was embarrassed to clamor for a drink.

Although there was no wine to add to the fun, everyone still had a great time eating. The chef at the Princess's House was very good at cooking.

At the beginning of Shenshi, everyone left happily. Yao Shanzhi also prepared plum blossom cakes for everyone to take away.

Zhao Wangshu and others all smiled and thanked them. Qin Youzi, who had been reserved and silent, smiled and said: "The county master is so kind, let us eat and take it."

"Just a few drawers of pastries, nothing." Yao Shanzhi said generously.

While they were talking, the carriage came, and the girls got on the carriage and left the eldest princess's mansion.

Although the snow stopped, the road was still full of snow and the carriage moved slowly.

As previously agreed, Zhao Wangshu went to the bun shop to pick up Hong Chang and returned to the Zhao family mansion together.

After returning to the Zhao family mansion, Zhao Wangshu followed the courtesy and went to the upper room to see Mrs. Zhao first.

As soon as I arrived outside the courtyard and was about to enter, I saw a person coming out of the courtyard in a hurry.

Zhao Wangshu hurriedly took a step back so as not to collide with the other party.

"Oh." There was an exclamation. The visitor was frightened by this sudden situation and staggered. He grabbed the door frame to steady himself.

"Master Ciao, are you okay?" a maid asked eagerly.

"It's okay, it's okay." The young man looked at Zhao Wangshu and saw a girl with excellent appearance and outstanding temperament. He bowed quickly and said, "Yang Hao, I'm reckless and rude. I hope the girl won't blame you." people.

Zhao Wangshu bowed his knee and returned the salute, "I left in a hurry and scared the young master. Please don't blame me."

After saying this, Zhao Wangshu stepped out of the way and said, "Master, please."

When they met for the first time, even if Yang Hao wanted to say a few more words, it was inappropriate, so he had to cup his hands and say, "Thank you, miss."

He walked past Zhao Wangshu, and Zhao Wangshu walked towards the yard with his legs up.

Old Mrs. Zhao tasted a piece of plum blossom cake that Zhao Wangshu brought back, "It tastes good, not sweet or greasy, but I'm old and don't like this. You can take it and share it with your sisters."

"Yes." Zhao Wangshu is not a stingy person, and the plum blossom cake is not a rare thing. She does not need to save it for her family to taste.

Then Mrs. Zhao asked Zhao Wangshu in detail about what happened at the eldest princess's residence. Zhao Wangshu answered truthfully except that he concealed the fact that Yao Shanzhi asked Yao Zhen to review poems.

Knowing that Zhao Wangshu did not speak to Yao Shanzhi in private, she was a little disappointed, "It's rare that the county master is willing to entertain you. You should get along well with the county master."

Zhao Wangshu was willing to make friends with Yao Shanzhi because he felt that the two had similar temperaments, not because he wanted to curry favor with Yao Shanzhi. Old Mrs. Zhao's words annoyed her.

"The county lord is my master, so you can leave others alone and chat with me alone. The county lord is willing to give me plum blossom cakes. I think he is satisfied with my performance today."

Old Mrs. Zhao frowned and said, "The County Lord has a distinguished status, so it is appropriate for you to be diligent. Being too arrogant will not do you any good."

"The Zhao family is a famous family, and they should not disgrace their family status by doing anything. How can they do such a fawning behavior?" Zhao Wangshu used this excuse to silence Mrs. Zhao righteously.

"When will I let you behave like a villain?" Mrs. Zhao was immediately furious, "You are really a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved!"

Zhao Wangshu frowned, why did he attack him personally?

Thinking that my father and brother still want to take the imperial examination, I can't offend the mansion at this time.

Zhao Wangshu endured the displeasure in his heart and lowered his head to admit his mistake, "Wangshu said something incomprehensible, please don't take offense to the old lady. The old lady will teach you. If Wangshu remembers it, he will have more contact with the county master in the future."

Mrs. Zhao stared at her with unkind eyes and remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, he slowly said: "You must really think so."

"Wangshu is young, and the elders in the family have taught him not to tell lies," Zhao Wangshu said.

Mrs. Zhao thought of her shrewd seventh brother and sister, and felt depressed for a while. "You have gone out and you are tired. Go back to your room and rest." She did not want to talk to her anymore.

"Wangshu excuses himself." Zhao Wangshu stood up, saluted, and left the upper room.

Back in the courtyard, Zhao Wangshu did not disturb the girls who were embroidering purses under the guidance of Mr. Liu.

When they arrived in the room, Zhao Wangshu asked Lu Zhi to send the plum blossom cakes to the girls, while she left Hong Chang to talk.

Hong Chang took out a small jade seal and a booklet from her arms, "Girl, I gave the three drawings you drew to Shopkeeper Zhou. This month's dividends have been deposited into the bank."

Zhao Wangshu put away the jade seal, took the brochure and looked through it, "There is actually a benefit of one hundred and seventy taels of silver. It seems that the business in the store is quite good!"

"The jewelry pictures the girl painted are so beautiful, and many people are buying them, so of course the business is good!" Hong Chang said.

"Thank you for your hard work this time." Zhao Wangshu took out a plain satin purse from the drawer and gave it to her, "This is a reward for you."

"Thank you, girl." Hong Chang happily accepted the purse.

"Do your job well, you deserve this." Zhao Wangshu is very generous to the people around him.
