Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 75 Looking at each other
  The next day, Mrs. Shen Guogong's eldest son came, and she brought a pair of children. The son was Zeng Kai, the concubine who was going to be engaged to Zhao Yujia, and the other was his sister Zeng Xinqin.

She came today with the intention of seeing her again. After all, she was very busy on the day she married her daughter and did not take a closer look.

Zeng Kai was seventeen years old, thin in stature, and a little weak. However, Zeng Guogong's ancestors were awarded the title of Duke based on their military exploits, and Shen Guogong, his son, and his grandson all served in the army.

Zeng Xinqin is thirteen years old, with a slender figure and delicate appearance. She wears a light green skirt and has a double bun.

After seeing the ceremony, Zhao He took Zeng Kai to the front yard. Mrs. Zhao arranged for Zeng Xinqin to be taken care of by Zhao Yuzhen and the others, while Mrs. Shizi stayed with Mrs. Zhao to talk.

Zeng Xinqin knew her aunt's purpose in bringing her here. When her aunt got married, she also met Zhao Yujia. She didn't like this future sister-in-law who had no foundation.

In Zeng Xinqin's view, Zhao Yujia was just a wild girl from the countryside. How could she be worthy of her brother?
  But she also knew that her aunt didn't want her brother to stand out, and Zhao Yujia was much better than the other girls her aunt was interested in.

Zeng Xinqin smiled and asked: "Sister Jia, what do you usually do at home?"

"The old lady asked the husband to teach us the rules, reading and writing, and female sex." Zhao Yujia replied honestly.

"Sister Jia is only literate. My brother can write poetry and paint, but he is a talented man." Zeng Xinqin said this deliberately, wanting to make Zhao Yujia feel ashamed.

Zhao Yujia understood what she meant and smiled lightly: "Brother you are indeed talented."

Zeng Xinqin was surprised, just like that?
  Zeng Xinqin was unwilling to fail to hit Zhao Yujia, "Sister Jia, do you really think my brother is talented?"

"Of course, Mr. Zeng is full of bookishness." Zhao Yujia said with a smile.

"Sister Jia, what is embroidered on your handkerchief? Can you let me see it?" Zeng Xinqin pointed to the embroidered handkerchief in Zhao Yujia's hand.

Zhao Yujia handed her the embroidered handkerchief, and Zeng Xinqin discovered that the handkerchief had butterflies on one side and orchids on the other. It was actually double-sided embroidery.

Should she say that the Zhao family is too extravagant and even small handkerchiefs are embroidered on both sides, or should she say that Zhao Yujia's embroidery skills are outstanding?

"Is this embroidered by Sister Jia?" Zeng Xinqin didn't quite believe that Zhao Yujia had such good embroidery skills.

"I embroidered it myself." Zhao Yujia worked very hard on the embroidery work, and her embroidery work is now the best among the girls.

Zeng Xinqin's eyes flashed slightly and she praised: "It's so beautiful. It's much better than the sisters in the sewing room of Guogong Mansion."

Zhao Yujia still showed no dissatisfaction and smiled lightly.

Seeing this, Zeng Xinqin felt a little embarrassed and said, "Sister Jia, I like this veil very much. Can you give it to me?"

"As long as you don't dislike it, I'll give it to you." Zhao Yujia replied.

"Thank you, Sister Jia."

"No need to be so polite."

The others quietly watched the interaction between the two without disturbing them.

At the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, Mrs. Shen Guogong, the crown prince, took Zeng Kai and Zeng Xinqin back.

As soon as she returned to Shen Guogong's mansion, Zeng Xinqin went to see her biological mother, the prince's beloved concubine Aunt Qiao, and told her truthfully about her visit to the Zhao family, "Auntie, that Zhao Yujia is not simple, she is not an easy-to-handle country girl."

"It's easy. I don't want this kind of girl with no foundation, no background, and no talent to be my daughter-in-law." Aunt Qiao said angrily.

"But Madam fell in love with her and said that she and her brother would be engaged as soon as possible."

Aunt Qiao snorted coldly, "I will tell the prince that there is no way for that vicious woman to marry the daughter of a wealthy family for her son, and to want my son to marry a country girl." "Father went to Dongdaying, at least. It will take ten days to come back, what if Madam decides on the marriage within these ten days?"

"She dares! Kai'er is also the prince's son after all. She dares to get Kai'er engaged when the prince is not at home. She will die." Aunt Qiao said confidently.

Zeng Xinqin nodded, thinking she was right.

The mother and daughter did not like Zhao Yujia, and Zhao Yujia did not like Zeng Kai either. She preferred a strong and powerful man, but Mrs. Zhao thought this marriage was a good one. Bin.”

"Thank you, old lady, for thinking about me." Zhao Yujia said this, but she was not grateful at all.

Two days later, the Zhao family went to the Jiang family to make an appointment, and the marriage between the two families was finally settled. Zhao He, who had not been to the academy for more than two months, began to study with Jiang Lihong's uncle after getting engaged. The next imperial examination can lead to high school.

After staying in the mansion for another five days, the girls can go out.

Zhao Wangshu came out very early. She was going to see her father and brother today.

As soon as she came out, the people guarding the door immediately followed her. Tianying and Tiangui, who were secretly protecting her, discovered these people.

They didn't rush to take action. When there were many people on the street, Tiangui created a little chaos.

"Damn it, I lost you again." The man cursed.

"Master, what should I do if I ask?" another man asked.

The three of them scratched their heads for a long time, and one of them came up with an idea, "How about saying that Miss Zhao didn't go out?"

"If the young master meets Miss Zhao on the street, he will know that we lied."

"Are you stupid? If the young master meets Miss Zhao, will he still ask us?"

"Then say so."

Having made up their minds, the three of them didn't rush to report it. Instead, they found a tavern and drank some wine while eating broad beans.

Although Zhao Wangshu noticed that there were eyes staring at her from behind, she thought it was Tianying and Tiangui, so she didn't pay attention. When she arrived at Guizhi Lane, as soon as she entered the small courtyard, she said sweetly: "Dad, mother, eldest brother, I'm coming ”

Hearing the sound, the Zhao family's father and son came out of the study, with joyful smiles on their faces, "Yue'er."

Zhao Cui and Zhao Li also came out of the Nuan Pavilion, "Yue'er."

"Grandma, when did you come?" Zhao Wangshu walked to Mrs. Zhao Cui and hugged her arm.

"I brought wine to the city yesterday." Mrs. Zhao Cui held her hand, "It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

After sitting down in the room, Zhao Wangshu told them about Zhao Yujia's marriage and Zhao He's marriage. Zhao Cui then beat the Zhao family's father and son, "Did you hear that? If you can't stand up, Yue'er's marriage will be unavoidable." If we make the decision, we will be manipulated by the mansion, and we don’t know what kind of shabby family that old woman will find for Yue’er.”

"Mother, don't worry, Yue'er is my daughter. The mansion can't even think of getting married to Yue'er without us. If they dare, even if I risk my life to sue, I won't let them get their wish." Zhao Chenghen said road.

"Grandma, don't worry. Dad and I will work hard and not let anyone get in the way of us, and we won't let them arbitrarily agree to marry my sister." Zhao Yin said firmly.

Zhao Wangshu's heart was warmed by his father and brother's defense of him, "Grandma, don't put too much pressure on dad and brother. There are still two years left before I and Ji are born. You can plan slowly and don't be in a hurry."

After hearing Zhao Wangshu's words, Mrs. Zhao Cui hugged her and said with a pleased smile: "Grandma's Yue'er is so sensible."
