The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 143 Mrs. Tai is going to be mad
Several carriages arrived at the foot of the mountain, and the sun was already high. Li Zonghua stood beside Mrs. Li and called for the bearers who had been arranged earlier. After helping his grandmother into the sedan chair, he secretly glanced at the girls.

Of the four slender girls, only one wore a red trousers, no doubt the one seen on the road.

The girl was quite tall, and Li Zonghua felt satisfied again.He was born tall and burly, and he also hoped to find a girl who was a little taller, not like a big brother and a sister-in-law, it would be awkward to stand together.

A person is satisfied, but he does not know his disposition.

Due to etiquette, Li Zonghua didn't look any further, and walked up the mountain beside his grandmother's soft sedan chair.

Zeng Xuerou, relying on people behind her, carefully looked at the man's back, and with the veiled hat on his head, she was not afraid of the man turning around suddenly.

Li Zonghua is tall, long-legged, and has the arms and waist of a wasp. No matter how you look at it, he is a tough guy.Looking back at his appearance, Zeng Xuerou smiled as he recalled the quick glance in the carriage.Li Zonghua's appearance is naturally not comparable to that of his cousin, but what can a man do if he is so good looking?Given her current situation, instead of giving her a handsome man, it is better to give her a capable and reliable husband, a man who will not dislike her background but is willing to help her take care of her younger brother.Of course, she doesn't have the capital to ask for so much all at once, as long as she marries a man who is not too bad, it is enough, and she will work hard to get it in the future.

After a while, everyone arrived outside the mountain gate of Longen Temple.

Mrs. Li and her grandfather and grandson walked in the front, Mrs. Ji walked side by side with Mrs. Guo, Ah Ju wanted to ask her two naughty younger sisters to follow her, but Guo Baozhu deliberately led Lin Zhu to the end. The old Aju didn't care about them, so she went with Zeng Xuerou.

After offering incense one by one, Mrs. Li sent Li Zonghua to go shopping elsewhere, and the female relatives went to the guest room to rest.

Guo Baozhu smiled and asked her mother: "Mother, it's the first time for A Zhu to come to Long'en Temple. Do I want to take her to the back mountain to enjoy the flowers?" She and Lin Zhu have no interest in Li Zonghua, so why bother to join in the fun.

Mrs. Guo didn't want her daughter to run wild, but Mrs. Ji was very happy, and said lovingly: "Go, go, the little girl likes to play, go shopping more now when you are not married, and after two years you will get married, then you will be married." It’s not good to be so comfortable now, Cheng Yuan’s daughter-in-law, don’t you think so?” Guo Baozhu left, it’s okay, she has nothing to do with the man this time.

Mrs. Li glanced at Mrs. Ji, but looked at Guo Baozhu and Lin Zhu again, and she was not unhappy.She is still a little girl with a temper, so she is not suitable to marry into their family.In the future, the grandson might go out to fight, so he needs someone who can stay stable, like Zhao Chen's wife, but Zhao Chen's wife is too soft-tempered, if there is any quarrel between the sisters-in-law, it will always make people worry.The first room of her family has three grandchildren, and the second room will return to Beijing in the future, and there will inevitably be bumps and bumps when a group of people live together.

On the other hand, this girl from the Zeng family, I don't know what kind of temperament she is, what is the condition of her family...

Because Mrs. Ji opened her mouth, neither Ah Ju nor Mrs. Guo could stop her. Mrs. Guo allocated the two maids she had brought to her daughter, and frowned and warned Guo Baozhu: "I only give you two quarters of an hour. Staying out for too long."

Ah Ju also winked at her sister, asking Ruyi, who knows kung fu, to accompany them.

Guo Baozhu and Lin Zhuru happily left after being pardoned.

Mrs. Guo shook her head, and said to the two old ladies: "Bao Zhu has a wild temper, no matter how I teach her, she can't teach her well, and the two elders laughed at her."

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "I have my own temper, just like a flower, what's the point if they all look the same? When I was young, I was better than precious pearls. Isn't it good now? My children and grandchildren have their own. Son and grandson, we don't have to worry too much. Let's go, old age is useless, my back is sore from sitting in a sedan chair all the way, let's go to the house and sit and talk."

The old lady Ji agreed with a smile.

The Zhike monk led the way, and they arrived at the guest room soon.

At this time, Ah Ju and Zeng Xuerou took off the veil.

Although a brief introduction was given at the foot of the mountain, the two old ladies still looked at Zeng Xuerou.Standing beside Ah Ju, Zeng Xuerou was graceful, looking at the gentle and steady eyes with a three-point agility and heroic spirit, coupled with her tall figure, even though she had seen many noble ladies in the capital, the eyes of the two old ladies still showed approval .

After being seated, Mrs. Li took the initiative to talk to Zeng Xuerou: "Your cousin said that you live in Liaodong, so your accent doesn't sound like it?"

Zeng Xuerou smiled calmly: "My ancestor was also from the capital, and was later sent to Liaodong as an official, so we moved there, but my father and mother spoke the capital dialect when they were in the mansion, so my brother and I followed them."

Mrs. Li nodded, and asked again: "How are your parents? Why are you willing to come to the capital by yourself? If I have such a flowery girl, I can't bear to let you leave my side."

Zeng Xuerou's expression was slightly gloomy, and she lowered her eyes and said: "My father used to be the prefect of Liaodong. Seven years ago, there was a severe drought in Liaodong, and the plague was prevalent. Unfortunately, my father fell ill when he was traveling around...My mother was too sad, and she also went soon."

"Poor child, it's hard for you to grow up your younger brother because you are so good-looking." Mrs. Li sighed.

Zeng Xuerou smiled and said nothing.

Ah Ju patted her hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Mrs. Guo talked to the two old ladies about keeping in good health.

Before sunset, Mrs. Li's grandfather and grandson returned to the uncle's mansion.

Mrs. Li looked at her second grandson who was trying to pretend to be calm but was full of anticipation. She didn't hang on to him, and sighed: "Girls from the three families, two of them are too escaped, and the other has nothing to say about his character and appearance. It's a pity that his parents died early... ..."

Li Zonghua knew who his grandmother was talking about, so he couldn't help but argue: "I marry a daughter-in-law to marry someone else's girl, not her parents. Grandma, I am eighteen. Since you think that girl is suitable, you can discuss it with my mother." , send someone to propose a marriage. Marquis Yanping is a celebrity around the emperor, how many people want to marry the Zhao family, even if it's just a cousin girl, it's still a favorite."

"You inquired clearly." Mrs. Li said in surprise, "How do you know that I'm talking about the cousin girl, have you seen someone?" Don't say that Zeng Xuerou wanted to marry into her own family, what should she not do? Bar?Zhao Chen didn't get along with his grandmother, and Zeng Xuerou's natal family, as the wife of the wife, could still get along with Zhao Chen and his wife, so it was not easy.

Li Zonghua's face was a little hot, but he was not a cowardly person. He said it when he liked it, and mentioned the surprise on the road, "Grandma, I know what you are thinking. Miss Zeng is keeping the etiquette. They are the other two. The girl made trouble with her, she was accidentally caught by me. Anyway, I fell in love with her, grandma, don't think so much, go propose marriage first, maybe people think I'm ugly and won't marry..."

Mrs. Li was not willing to listen, "Who said you are ugly?" You are usually slovenly, but today you know how to care about beauty and ugliness.

Li Zonghua rubbed his nose: "I have met Zhao Chen, and there is such a cousin to compare with. I am almost as ugly as I am."

Thinking of the looks of Zhao Yunting and his son, Mrs. Li was at a loss for words, and said angrily: "If she doesn't want to marry because of this, I also look down on her."

Li Zonghua was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Grandmother agreed?"

Mrs. Li glared at him: "Look at how unpromising you are, wait, I'll tell your mother tomorrow, if she doesn't object, I'll ask Chengyuan's daughter-in-law to ask what the Zhao family thinks." In fact, she She didn't really care about Zeng Xuerou's background, but admired the little girl's ability, but was just worried about her daughter-in-law...

Li Zonghua was not embarrassed at all, and walked away excitedly, his steps were obviously more cheerful than usual.

Mrs. Li shook her head and laughed.Forget it, since the grandson was so satisfied, she told her daughter-in-law that Zeng Xuerou was backed by Mrs. Zhao and Chen, as the grandson said, she was indeed a sweet potato.

Within a few days, Mrs. Li posted a message to Ah Ju, asking her to come to her house to admire the lotus.

Ah Ju went, and when she came back, she happily went to Xinlan Garden: "Mother, the Li family has found a cousin, let me ask what you guys think, if you agree, they will ask the matchmaker to come and propose marriage."

This is a good thing, and Ning is also very happy, "Okay, don't tell Xuerou first, I will mention it to your father tonight, and he has to decide this matter."

Ah Ju nodded, picked up her daughter who climbed onto her lap, and kissed her loudly on the face.

Cancan is so beautiful, the little hand shakes the rattle jingle.

Zhao Yunting came back in the evening, covered in sweat, went to the side room to take a shower and changed into clean clothes before coming to accompany his wife.He was going to have dinner with Mrs. Tai at the Rongshoutang, and Ning raised the matter before the meal: "Didn't the Li family intend to marry us last time? Now there is a promise, the Li family wants to marry Li Zonghua Xuerou, just wait for your promise and come to propose marriage."

Zhao Yunting was lying comfortably on the kang, but when he heard this, he sat up, his expression was not as relaxed as before.

Ning knew what he was worried about, so she went to the window sill to grow orchids, and didn't say much.

After a while of silence, Zhao Yunting sighed: "It's a good marriage. After dinner tonight, I will tell my mother that you should go to bed earlier, and I may come back later." Mother is confused, but she is not stupid. As for the matter, you will immediately guess that the grand-niece she wants to support has already sided with Wang Zhuxuan, right?At that time, there will be a lot of rage.

Zhao Yunting didn't want to quarrel with his mother, but this quarrel was inevitable.

Taking a look at his wife, Zhao Yunting went to Rongshou Hall with a heavy heart.

Rongshou Hall is quite lively here.

Mrs. Tai is not someone who treats her harshly. Wang Zhuxuan doesn't respect her as a grandmother. She usually treats her as if she doesn't have an eldest grandson, just like Zhao Chen didn't come back before. She listens to Zhao Qing's three brothers and sisters talking funny every day, even as if to prove something. His actions were much more generous than usual, and he would reward Zhao Yi with some jewelry materials from time to time.Zhao Han and his grandmother were already close, and Zhao Qing and Zhao Yi seemed to be ignorant of the grievances between his elder brother and Mrs. Tai, so he was still willing to make his grandmother happy.

As soon as Zhao Yunting came over, the cheerful atmosphere in the room disappeared.

Mrs. Tai gave her son a displeased look, and ordered the maids to prepare the meal, as if there was no such person in front of her.

Zhao Yunting knew that his mother was still complaining that he stood by and watched the eldest son's murder last time, he would say something to calm the atmosphere when he came here, but today he has something on his mind, so he no longer has the mood to try to please his mother.The three of Zhao Qing were afraid that their father would not dare to say more, and the meal was extremely dull.

After the meal, the juniors all left. Seeing that her son hadn't left, Mrs. Tai wondered, "What are you doing here?"

Zhao Yunting got up and wanted to help his mother into the house, but Mrs. Tai was useless, she sat on the couch in the back room and snorted coldly: "Tell me, is there anything else you want to say to make me angry? It's okay, you can get angry as you please, I'm used to it I deserve it when I'm so mad, who made me give birth to a good son!"

Zhao Yunting looked at his mother, and waved to the two servant girls in the room, signaling them to go down.

Zhao Yunting and his son killed the ex-maid Shaoyao to the outside world, but the maids in Rongshoutang guessed it somewhat, so as long as Zhao Yunting came over, no one was willing to stay in the house to wait on them, for fear that they might accidentally lose their lives.Now as soon as Zhao Yunting waved his hand, Yingchun hurriedly led another maid and hurriedly retreated, guarding far under the eaves.

But no matter how far away they were, they still heard the sound of tea bowls hitting the ground inside.
