Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 64 Provoking trouble
  As soon as Luzhi sat down, a group of people came over.

Looking at the person in the middle, Zhao Wangshu stood up and saluted: "I have met the Xinxing County Lord, and the County Lord Wan'an."

The Xinxing County Lord looked her up and down, "Who are you?"

"Folk girl Zhao Wangshu." Zhao Wangshu bowed his head and said.

"It turns out that you are the Queen's family. What are you doing here?" Xinxing County Lord stared at her with an unkind look and asked.

"If you are tired from walking, take a rest here."

"Sitting on the floor? Miss Zhao is really informal." Xinxing County Lord obviously did not believe her statement.

"I am originally a country girl. I have gone to work in the fields. I don't have so much to pay attention to."

"You must be self-aware." Xingxing County Lord chuckled, "How long have you been here?"

"Just arrived."

"Really?" Xingxing County Lord asked questioningly.

"Don't dare to deceive the county lord."

"Okay, then let me ask you, have you ever seen a young master wearing Xuanyi?"

"Never seen it before." Zhao Wangshu replied calmly.

The head of Xinxing County was not interested in talking to her anymore. He flicked his sleeves and left with her group of maids.

"You can't be quiet even if you hide here." Zhao Wangshu took Luzhi and left the way Xinxing County Lord came.

In addition to the lotus in the pond, the Lotus Garden also has other beautiful scenery. Pavilions, pavilions, carved railings and painted buildings, rockeries and strange rocks, every place is unique and poetic.

The master and servant walked along the path beside the pool, admiring the beautiful scenery of the Lotus Garden.

The breeze blows, the lotus leaves sway gently, and the fragrance of the lotus is refreshing and intoxicating.

"Girl, look at that lotus with a dragonfly parked on it." Green Branch pointed at a lotus bud that had just emerged from the water in the pool.

"It's strange to see something small, and it goes like this in ancient poems: 'When the little lotus shows its sharp corners, a dragonfly stands on it.'" A sudden voice interrupted.

The master and servant looked back and saw that it was Liu Furong.

"It's Miss Liu, hello." Zhao Wangshu smiled politely.

"You Zhao family are really good at digging into the camp, and you dare to come to participate in the Lotus Viewing Festival even if you are naked." Liu Furong waved her fan gently, with a sarcastic expression on her face.

Zhao Wangshu said coldly: "Miss Liu, why don't you go to the empress and say this."

Liu Furong looked stern and said inwardly: "You don't need to use my empress to pressure me. I, the Duke of Yongguo, are not easy to offend."

"We all respect the late Queen's natal family." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

Seeing Zhao Wangshu's indifferent attitude, Liu Furong felt even more angry, but she had no choice but to snort coldly and turn around to leave.

"It's none of your business that I'm talking to my girl. A dog is a rat." Luzhi spat at her dissatisfied.

"Don't be angry, let's go." Zhao Wangshu held the green branches and continued walking in the lotus garden, admiring the beautiful scenery.

"Girl, look over there, there is a lotus flower on both sides!" Luzhi suddenly pointed at a lotus flower not far away and said.

Zhao Wangshu looked in the direction pointed by the green branch and saw a pink lotus flower standing gracefully on the blue waves. The petals were stained with crystal dew, which was really beautiful.

"Bingdilian is quite rare." Zhao Wangshu smiled and walked towards the pond.

"Girl, be careful." A voice exclaimed.

"Whoosh" a black shadow passed in front of Zhao Wangshu, who was so frightened that Zhao Wangshu took two steps back and almost slipped. Fortunately, Green Branch helped her in time, "Girl, are you okay?"

"A rat?" Zhao Wangshu didn't see clearly.

"It's a wild cat." The person who reminded her to be careful was Xiao Bin, who won the first prize in poetry. He walked over and handed over his hand, "Xiao Bin, the little zodiac boy, has seen a girl, and the girl is polite."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao." Zhao Wangshu returned the courtesy. "Girl, you're welcome." Xiao Bin smiled, "The road beside the pond is slippery, so it's best for me not to get close."

Zhao Wangshu thanked him again, "I won't disturb Mr. Xiao from enjoying the flowers."

She took the green branches and left. Xiao Bin opened his mouth and whispered, "I haven't asked your name yet?"

Zhao Wangshu couldn't hear what he said. He walked to the viewing pavilion in front and sat down to rest. Suddenly, a burst of music came from the piano.

Sometimes the sound of the piano is high-pitched and passionate, sometimes low and gentle, sometimes like rough waves, sometimes like the gurgling stream.

"High mountains and flowing water!" Zhao Wangshu heard it, closed his eyes, leaned against the pavilion pillar and listened quietly.

She didn't go looking for people to see who was playing the harp. The eggs were delicious, but she didn't need to know which chicken laid them.

When watching the sun, it was almost three o'clock in the morning, and Zhao Wangshu slowly walked to the front yard of Fuyu Garden. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw two girls.

One is Gao Caining, and the other is wearing a pink and blue embroidered skirt. He had sat with Gao Caining at the poetry meeting.

She was teasing Gao Caining, "Why are you in such a hurry to come out? Why don't you talk to your brother Xiang more?"

"Oh, someone has come in, stop talking." Gao Caining glared at the girl in blue, "Hello, I am Gao Caining, from the Duke's Palace of E. Which family are you from?"

"I am Xu Juying, from Cheng'en Palace. I don't think I have seen you before." Xu Juying.

Zhao Wangshu smiled and said: "My surname is Zhao and my name is Wangshu. I'm glad to meet you."

"Please take a seat." Gao Caining smiled.

We are not familiar with each other, so we can only talk about the poems from today's poetry meeting.

After chatting for a while, several more girls came to the small hall one after another and exchanged greetings with each other.

After the Zhao family arrived, everyone went out and took a carriage back to the Zhao family mansion.

Mrs. Zhao asked them lovingly, "Did you have fun today?"

"Very happy." Zhao He replied.

"That's good, I'll rest assured that you are happy." Mrs. Zhao glanced at the girls, "You are also tired, go and have a rest, and come back for dinner later."

Zhao Wangshu expected that Mrs. Zhao would ask her for questions. After all, she and Zhao Jiahua were the only ones bringing maids who were not arranged by the mansion. Mrs. Zhao had no idea of ​​their whereabouts.

But she didn't expect that Mrs. Zhao would be so direct in her question, "I have met so many noble gentlemen, is there any one that Wang Shu can catch my eye with?"

"Old lady, I'm still young." Zhao Wangshu lowered his head and pretended to be shy.

"You're not young anymore. You're almost fifteen. It's time to get to know each other. When you're old enough, you can get married."

"The eldest brother in the family is not married yet, so I am not in a hurry about my marriage." Zhao Wangshu said.

"Men and women are different. A man can get married later because of his fame, but a daughter's appearance is easy to age, so there is no need to delay." Mrs. Zhao said earnestly.

"Besides, if you have someone you like, you can also arrange your marriage first. It won't be too late to arrange your marriage after your eldest brother gets married."

Hearing this, Zhao Wangshu sneered. It seemed that Mrs. Zhao really wanted her to marry into a wealthy family, but she did not want to follow Mrs. Zhao's arrangements and help the wealthy family.

"If I really find someone I like, I will tell the old lady." Zhao Wangshu prevaricated.

"Okay, then you should pay more attention to yourself. If you meet a suitable candidate, you should tell me in time." Mrs. Zhao did not dare to force her desperately.

Zhao Wangshu nodded obediently, "I will pay more attention."

"That's good." Mrs. Zhao nodded with satisfaction, "You can go back."

Zhao Wangshu saluted and retreated, but she did not go far. She was near the courtyard of the upper house. After a while, she saw the magpie leading Zhao Jiahua in, smiled understandingly, and turned around to leave.

　Note: Mrs. Zhao is talking about fictitious age. Xiao Yue'er is actually only thirteen years old.
