Chapter 21 Arrogance
  "Girl, do you want to give me some money so that the kitchen can cook something that the girl likes?" Mrs. Buckwheat was afraid that she would starve to death.

"There's no rush." ​​Zhao Wangshu took some tofu skin and said, "We still have a lot of use. The old lady won't really starve us."

"Then, slave, can you think of a way to go out and buy some cakes to prepare?" Lady Qiao asked.

"Okay, buy a few more things." Zhao Wangshu finished half a bowl of rice and put down his chopsticks.

She stood up and left her seat. Hong Chang and Lan Fen, who were waiting for her, cleared the table and served hot tea.

Zhao Wangshu had just taken a few sips of tea when Zhao Jiahua came over.

She didn't beat around the bush and asked straight to the point: "Isn't the food hard to swallow?"

"I'm not picky about food." Zhao Wangshu looked meaningless.

"The old lady did this to make us surrender and admit our mistakes to her."

"Do you want to apologize?" Zhao Wangshu picked up the pot and poured her a cup of tea.

Zhao Jiahua snorted coldly, "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?"

"Then we have to abstain from oral sex for the next few days." Zhao Wangshu said it lightly, not taking this matter to heart at all.

"It's better to be light for a few days." Zhao Jiahua touched his face, "I've gained weight."

The two of them were stubborn and proud and refused to bow their heads, but Zhao Yujia, Zhao Shuhui and Zhao Shuqing were frightened.

The three of them decided to stay up late to sew a forehead protector with different patterns on Mrs. Zhao.

Zhao Yujia embroidered the ten-thousand-character pattern, Zhao Shuhui embroidered the back-character pattern, and Zhao Shuqing was ingenious and embroidered the daylily intertwining branch pattern.

Of the six who went back to celebrate the festival, only three surrendered. Old Mrs. Zhao was not too satisfied, but she couldn't push people into a hurry. She had a way to embarrass these little girls.

Old Mrs. Zhao stopped letting the harsh girls in the kitchen eat. That night, Zhao Wangshu finally had fresh food.

The food tastes good, and Zhao Wangshu doesn't need to eat pastries to fill his stomach.

A few days later, Mrs. Zhao was going out to attend the sixtieth birthday party of the mother of the Minister of Civil Affairs.

She only brought four people, Fang Baozhu, Zhao Yuzhen, Zhao Yujia and Zhao Shuangzhi, for the simple reason, "It's not appropriate to bring many people. This time it's just the four of them. Next time I'm going to a banquet at another house, I'll bring you."

Zhao Wangshu didn't know whether the others were disappointed, but she was not disappointed. She didn't want to go to such a party.

When four people go out for a visit, the girls who stay at home can have a day off from school.

Zhao Wangshu and Zhao Xuehua, who were trapped in the mansion, were extremely bored, so they accidentally took their maid with them and prepared to sneak out to play. As soon as they left the room, they met.

"Are you going out?" they said in unison.

"The sun is shining brightly today, it's suitable for a walk." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

Zhao Xuehua smiled, "I think so too."

"Together?"

"Okay!"

The two hit it off immediately and walked towards the back door of the yard. Zhao Shuqing happened to come out and saw her, "Where are you two sisters going?"

"Shh, keep your voice down." Zhao Jiahua raised his index finger to his lips.

Zhao Shuqing quickly covered her mouth and looked around.

"We go out to play on the street, do you want to come with us?" Zhao Jiahua asked.

Zhao Shuqing's face was filled with joy, "Old lady, do you allow us to go out to play on the street?"

"We went secretly without telling the old lady. If we tell the old lady, the old lady won't let us out." Zhao Jiahua said.

"Isn't this bad?" Zhao Shuqing wrung his handkerchief, looking embarrassed.

"If you feel bad, you don't have to go out." Zhao Wangshu said with a half-smile.

"Sister Qing, if you don't go, then we will leave." Zhao Jiahua took Zhao Wangshu's arm. Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Zhao Shuqing felt a little anxious and said hurriedly: "Sisters, I will go with you."

Zhao Xuehua said happily: "That's right. Being trapped in this big house all day is really boring."

Zhao Shuqing smiled shyly, walked to Zhao Xuehua's right side, and took her arm.

Three more people went out to play, Zhao Shuqing and her two maids.

A group of nine people sneaked out through the west corner door of the mansion.

Zhao Wangshu and Zhao Jiahua had already been taken care of, and the woman guarding the door said, "Girls, please come back early."

"Don't worry, we will come back after lunch and we won't embarrass you." Zhao Jiahua said understandingly.

Crossing the alley, taking a shortcut, and walking for about a quarter of an hour, we arrived at Dongjiao Street.

Dongjiao Street is very bustling and lively, with various shops lined up and hawking sounds happening one after another. Even in winter, there are still people coming and going in an endless stream.

Zhao Shuqing is weak and lives in Zhuangzi. He has only been to the city a handful of times since he has grown up, and he is very curious about everything.

"Three girls, come and take a look at this hairpin. It is specially made for girls." A vendor selling accessories sold it to them. "You see, this hairpin is of good quality and exquisite. Girls must bring it with them." very beautiful."

Zhao Xuehua took the hairpin and looked at it for a moment, then handed it to Zhao Wangshu to see.

Zhao Wangshu looked at it and said, "This one is of good quality and the style is novel."

"It goes well with my new clothes."

"If you like it, buy it."

"I want this hairpin, please give me a price."

"Girl, please be happy. I'll give you the real price, three hundred taels." The vendor said with a smile.

"What? Three hundred taels!" Zhao Xuehua exclaimed.

The vendor nodded, "Girl, this silver setting is of excellent quality, and the gems inlaid on it are also of the highest quality. If you look closely, girl, you will know that the small one is the real price for you."

Zhao Xuehua pushed the hairpin in his hand back to the vendor, "I can't afford three hundred taels."

"The girl is a cheerful person, and so am I. The actual price is only two hundred taels." The vendor raised the hairpin higher, "Look, girl, this gem is sparkling."

"I can't afford it. I can't afford it." Zhao Xuehua waved his hand, "Let's go."

Pulling Zhao Wangshu forward, she encountered another stall selling accessories a few steps away. This time she didn't pick any more for fear of being entangled by the vendors.

Seeing that they had no intention of buying anything more, the vendor didn't bother them much.

The group of people walked around for a long time, and there were always a lot of food and supplies.

"We're here at Yibo Bookstore. I've read through my book several times. I can buy a few more today." Zhao Jiahua said as he walked towards the bookstore.

"Just in time, I also want to buy some paper for calligraphy practice." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

They both wanted to go to the bookstore, so Zhao Shuqing naturally followed them in. "I'll also buy some calligraphy paper."

When the bookstore clerk saw the guests, he greeted them with a polite smile and asked, "Hello, ladies, what do you ladies want to buy?"

"Is there any new storybook out?" Zhao Jiahua asked.

The clerk laughed, "Yes, the scripts are all on the shelf over there."

There are some newly released story books on the shelf, such as "Suiyuan Ji", "Eternal Life", "Spring Dawn", and "Lovesickness Land".
  Looking at the title of the book, I can’t guess what it is about.

Zhao Wangshu casually picked up "Spring Dawn" and looked through it. Chunxiao is the name of the heroine. When a drought broke out, her family fled. When crossing the river, she almost drowned, but was saved by a young master.

Suddenly I heard a surprised voice calling: "Master!"

Zhao Wangshu looked up and saw that it was the day of the winter solstice when he sent his men to rescue Zhao Shuqing's noble son.
