Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 37 Taking in
  Aunt Qi asked in disbelief: "Girl, you really know, right? Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not joking, but you guys sit here for a while and drink tea. I will send you there later." Zhao Wangshu did not directly tell the address, but planned to wait for Zhao Jiahua to come before asking her what she meant.

If Zhao Jiahua is not willing to take them back, she will take them in. Anyway, the store needs people.

Aunt Qi quickly saluted and said, "Thank you, miss. Thank you, miss."

The girl also smiled and said, "Thank you."

"Lady boss, give them a pot of hot tea and two plates of snacks."

"Okay okay."

After a while, Zhao Yuzhen came with Zhao Yuying and Zhao Yuxiu. The last one to arrive was Zhao Jiahua, who was visibly happy.

"Sister Hua, are you looking for gold?" Zhao Wangshu asked jokingly.

"I didn't pick up gold, but I was happier than picking up gold." Zhao Jiahua held his face in his hands and chuckled.

Zhao Wangshu asked curiously: "What's going on? Can you tell us?"

"Hehehe." Zhao Jiahua laughed so hard that his branches trembled, but he obviously didn't intend to share it. Zhao Wangshu knew it and didn't ask any more questions.

Zhao Wangshu pulled her aside and told her the identities of the master and servant.

"Sister Shu, thank you for keeping them. I'll take them back first." Zhao Jiahua went over to explain his identity to the master and servant.

When I returned to the mansion, I went to see Mrs. Zhao first as usual. After listening to her lectures, I went back to the yard to rest.

In the evening, the girls were going to the room to have dinner with Mrs. Zhao. When they didn't see Zhao Jiahua, Zhao Wangshu said, "Go and call Miss Hua."

"Miss Hua hasn't come back yet." The maidservant who knew about it replied.

When they were practicing the piano the next day, Mrs. Zhao came in with Zhao Jiahua and the girl she had met yesterday.

"Sir, this is a child from a relative. From now on, he will go to class with the girls." Mrs. Zhao said with a smile.

"Go and sit on the empty seat over there." The gentleman pointed to the seat left by Zhao Yuzhen after he left.

During the break, Zhao Jiahua introduced everyone, "This is my cousin Liu Shuqing. Oh, sister Qing, my cousin's name is similar to yours."

Zhao Shuqing smiled and said, "Hello, Cousin Liu."

"Hello." Liu Shuqing whispered.

After finding out Zhao Wangshu's identity, Liu Shuqing solemnly said: "Sister Shu, thank you for your help yesterday."

"It's easy, don't worry about it." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

The addition of Liu Shuqing did not have much impact on her life. She relied heavily on Zhao Jiahua, and everything else was fine.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third day of March. Zhao Wangshu went out for an appointment with Yaoshan Zhizhi, and she had just left.

Mrs. Zhao said to the other girls: "Today is Women's Day. You all should go out and play. Don't be stuck at home all day."

She asked the girls to follow Zhao Wangshu and go to Chunxi Garden.

In Daliang, Shangsi Festival and Qixi Festival are both Daughter's Days. They both pray to the gods to bless them with wisdom, dexterity, a successful marriage, and a happy life.

The difference lies in the gods worshipped, the place of sacrifice, the method of sacrifice, etc.

The most important thing is that Qixi Festival is a gathering of women, but Shangsi Festival is a gathering of men and women, so Shangsi Festival is also a different kind of Valentine's Day. "The Book of Songs, Zheng Feng, Qin Wei" once said: "Qin and Wei are clear when you look at them. The scholar and the girl are full of Yin. The woman said: 'Guan Hu?' The scholar said: 'That's it.' Let's go and watch. ?Beyond the river, everyone is relaxed and happy. The warrior and the girl tease him and give him a spoon of medicine."

Chunxi Garden is located in the east of the city and is divided into two large courtyards. The east courtyard is divided into ten small courtyards for visitors to rest and eat.

The west courtyard is centered on the lotus pond, surrounded by rockeries, pavilions, waterside pavilions, flowers and trees, and three winding canals.

One winds along the white wall, one winds through the peach grove, and another surrounds the statue of the Flying Goddess.

The courtyard owned by Yaoshan Zhiding was called Hefeng Yuan. When Zhao Wangshu arrived, in addition to the Yao family brothers and sisters who were the owner, Chen Xiao, Gao Zhi, Lin Qianyi, and a strange boy.

"This is Miss Zhao, and this is Qianyi's cousin Sun Li." Yao Shanzhi solemnly said Zhao Wangshu's surname. As for Lin Qianyi telling him Zhao Wangshu's name afterwards, that was another matter.

"Hello, Miss Zhao." Sun Li's eyes were filled with surprise. He thought his cousin was already beautiful enough, but he didn't expect that this Miss Zhao was even more beautiful, with an extraordinary temperament, like a fairy descending to earth.

It's a pity that he is too young, otherwise, he could beg his mother to come to propose marriage for him.

"Hello, Mr. Sun." Zhao Wangshu bowed slightly and returned the gift, then walked to sit next to Yao Shanzhi.

After a while, Qin Youzi came dressed up, followed by Lu Wenqiu and Fang Jingshu.

Zhu Siyun arrived last, and when she saw Zhao Wangshu was there, a contemptuous smile appeared on her lips, and she knew that she would not let go of the opportunity to cling to the powerful, even if she tried to persuade him with good intentions, she would not listen.

"Okay, everyone is here. Let's go to the waterside to pay homage to Gao Mou." Yao Shanzhi said.

The god Gao Mou is in charge of marriage and reproduction. Unmarried men and women worship Gao Mou to pray for a good marriage, while married people worship Gao Mou only to pray for children.

An incense table has been set up in the wide area by the water, and livestock, dried meat, cakes and other items are placed on the table.

The servants handed the lit incense into everyone's hands, held the lit incense in their hands, and bowed three times.

"It's done!" Yao Zhen said loudly.

Everyone responded in unison: "The ceremony is completed!"

Just when Zhao Wangshu went to the Peach Grove with Yaoshan Zhizhi to worship, the other girls of the Zhao family arrived at Chunxi Garden. Mrs. Zhao did not book a yard for them, so they could only go to the West Garden to play.

Zhao Shuqing came up with a plan, quietly landed at the end, and ran to ask the steward of Chunxi Garden, "Which yard is the Lord of Yixing County?"

The steward looked her up and down and said, "You are not a guest invited by the county lord, so you cannot go to the county lord's yard."

Zhao Shuqing couldn't help but feel timid after hearing this. She was not a good liar, so she mustered up the courage to come and ask questions.

When the steward said this, she immediately lost confidence. Although she wanted to see Chen Xiao, she did not dare to say anything more.

She hurriedly walked to catch up with the sisters in front of her, not noticing the strange look in the maid's eyes beside her.

When she caught up with her sisters, she heard Zhao Yuxiu say: "Let's go to the peach blossom forest. The peach blossoms will bloom and the fallen flowers will turn into beautiful flowers. It must be beautiful."

"Let's go to the Peach Blossom Forest first, and then see the Flying Goddess." Zhao Yuyan, as the oldest girl present, made up her mind.

Zhao Shuqing's mood was like a hazy sky. She had completely lost her interest in playing. She followed everyone dejectedly. She didn't look up until she heard Zhao Yuying shout: "Sister Shu."

Across the crowd, she saw the man she had longed for. He was wearing a blue brocade robe with dark patterns and a jade belt around his waist. His figure was as tall and tall as a pine tree.

The peach forest behind him made him look like a character in a painting. Zhao Shuqing's dim eyes suddenly became brighter, and her heart was filled with immense satisfaction and joy.

"Mr. Chen, I finally see you." She whispered, even the people closest to her couldn't hear her clearly.
