The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 33
Mrs. Liu was very surprised by the Zhao family's post, but thinking about how many times Mr. Zhao came from home, one mouthful of one uncle and one aunt, it was normal for the two families to start walking around.It's just that after Mrs. Xiao Liu's suggestion, Mrs. Liu also thought about it a little more. Is Mr. Zhao purely dealing with etiquette, or is he really interested in the eldest daughter?
No matter how she guessed in her heart, she couldn't show her feet in front of her daughter until the matter was settled.

Lin Xian was still in the town, and after reading the post, Mrs. Liu asked Lin Zhu, who was by her side, to call Ah Ju over.

Apart from helping Liu Shi, Ah Ju is almost bored in the house and does not go out. Knowing that Zhao's family is coming, she paused and continued to sit by the window and read a book.

"Sister, mother told you to come over." Lin Zhu came in through the curtain, stood in front of the kang and said to her, "Madam Zhao invited us to her house to appreciate orchids, mother wants to discuss with us." After last night, She no longer expressed her enthusiasm for the Zhao family, and only brought it up as something new.

Ah Ju responded calmly, put down her book, put on her shoes and went to the room with her sister.

Mrs. Liu smiled and handed the post to the eldest daughter: "I have heard Mr. Zhao say that Mrs. Zhao likes orchids, so let's go over here. Do you want to go and have a look, Ah Ju?" In the past two days, her complexion has improved a little, and she still hopes that her eldest daughter can go out to relax, not to mention that the Zhao family has her favorite orchids.

Ah Ju could talk to her younger sister who knew a little bit about herself, but she didn't dare to say it to Liu Shi, for fear of arousing her parents' suspicion and angering that person.

She read the post carefully, and then returned it to Liu Shi, lowering her eyes and whispering softly: "Mother, you take A Zhu and Xiao Jiu, I just retired, and I don't want to go anywhere except my aunt's house. Besides, I will definitely stay in the past." Over there for lunch, there is no one at home, I am afraid that something will happen to you, so I will stay at home."

Lin Zhu obediently stood next to his mother without speaking.If it was yesterday, she would still tease her eldest sister, but now she dare not.

Right now, Mrs. Liu couldn't hear her daughter looking down on her because of the resignation, and her heart softened for the most part. She didn't dare to push her too much, so she just explained in a soft voice: "Madam Zhao must know about our family, please invite our family Wife, it can be seen that she is not the kind who can't tell right from wrong, Ah Ju, don't think so much, dress up beautifully and go out with your mother, anyone who sees her will understand that he is blind."

Ah Ju smiled wryly.

If Ru Niang was prettier than her, it might be easier for her to let go, because Ru Niang was not as good as her, and she felt aggrieved.So many years of childhood sweethearts, can't compare to a piece of clothing for one night?
She knew that there was no possibility between her and Meng Zhongjing, and she didn't want to like that man anymore, she just couldn't figure out why he changed.

"Mother, I really don't want to go, you can discuss it with Ah Zhu, I'm going back to the house." Ah Ju said in a low voice, turned and left.

The room was silent, Liu put down the post, and wiped her tears with her back to Lin Zhu: "What sin did I do in my previous life, and I want to repay my good daughter. If I knew that day, I shouldn't have taken her in, and now I have caused my daughter to suffer. into this."

Lin Zhu handed over the handkerchief to help his mother wipe away tears, "Mother, don't say that, I think Ru Niang came in time, otherwise, this will happen after the elder sister gets married, and the elder sister will suffer even more, don't you think? Don't be sad, let's go!" It’s fine if my eldest sister wants to open it for a while, let’s not force her anymore, she will speak up when she wants to go out.”

Of course Liu Shi understands this truth, but there are so many great truths in the world, it's easy to say, how many people can really figure it out?The daughter was only 15 years old, and she played with Meng Zhongjing when she was a child. She was deceived by sweet words when she was 12 years old.Not to mention a little girl, she is the mother, if one day Lin Xian brings a woman back, she may not be able to be as calm as the eldest daughter, not mentioning any hardships in front of her elders.

When Lin Xian came back in the evening, he didn't think much about it after hearing about it, he just discussed with Mrs. Liu what gift to bring there.

On the appointed day, Chen Ping drove over early to pick him up.

The carriage stopped outside, and Lin Chongjiu ran out first. Liu Shi looked at the lavender pants on Lin Zhu's body, nodded in satisfaction, and then held Ah Ju's little hand and said softly: "Then we're leaving now, take care of yourself." Housekeeper, don't be bored reading in the house, close the door and let the two of you out, let's play with them in the yard."

Ah Ju smiled and shook her head: "That's not okay, they have eaten all the flowers and plants in the vegetable garden that were released in the yard."

Mrs. Liu liked seeing her daughter smile the most, stroked her hair affectionately, brought a gift and led Lin Zhu out.Ah Ju stayed at home today because she was unwell, so she didn't go out to see anyone off. After listening to the carriage outside, she went to close the door.Turning around, looking at the courtyard that seemed to be empty all of a sudden, she let out a long sigh of relief and looked up at the sky.

The sky was blue and cloudless.

After this period of time, when that person gives up the entanglement, life will gradually get better, right?

Yoyo's cry came from the fence, and Yoyo could be seen walking in front of the fence over there, as if looking at her.Ah Ju suddenly felt like a thief. Her family was at home, so she didn't want to show that she liked these two deer too much, but now she was the only one in the house, and no one knew what she was doing?
Ah Ju walked over quickly.

Inside, Yoyo immediately turned to the door, looked up at her, her big eyes were dark and moist.

Thinking of her mother's proposal, Aju smiled and asked it: "Do you want to come out?" The doe must not be released, Yoyo is still young, she can watch it to prevent it from harming the flowers and plants.

Yoyo looked at her helplessly.

Ah Ju looked at the doe lying and chewing the cud over there, and quickly opened the gate of the fence, but Yoyo didn't come out right away, and stepped back to look at the door.Aju became anxious, and kept calling it, Yoyo could now understand that it was its name, and finally walked out briskly when the doe stood up.Ah Ju hurriedly closed the fence gate, knelt down and stretched out her hand to the little deer who was looking around: "Yoyo, come here, give me a touch."

Yoyo lowered her head to lick her hand, and Aju touched its slender neck with the other hand.

It's a pity that Yoyo's obedience didn't last long, she was soon attracted by the flowers and plants in the yard, and ran over.Aju saw its intention, and immediately got up to chase it. Yoyo sniffed the leaves curiously, but she didn't care. If it wanted to chew, Aju would immediately stop it.Yoyo kept changing places, so she had no choice but to run along, sweating and out of breath.

For the sake of her own orchid, Aju grabbed Yoyo, hugged it, and sent it back to the fence.After Yoyo went in, she immediately turned around and looked at her pitifully. Aju couldn't stand this look, so she went back to the house and gave it two raw chestnuts as compensation.Yoyo lowered her head to smell the chestnuts, and Aju took the opportunity to escape back to the house.

After entering the house, Aju couldn't help laughing when she thought of chasing a deer for so long.

Mrs. Liu didn't know what the eldest daughter was doing at home. After hearing Chen Ping saying that she was coming, she opened the curtain curiously.

The first thing I saw was the blue sky and green mountains in the distance, like a beautiful landscape painting, and Zhuangzi of the Zhao family was in this painting, peaceful and refined.

The three-entry house has white walls and gray tiles. The house is not a big deal, but the backyard is unusually large. There is a circle of luxuriant plane trees planted next to the wall. The pavilion is like a cover, which is really beautiful.

Just looking at this house makes people yearn for it, wishing to live in it for a lifetime.

Mr. Zhao looks good, but I don't know how beautiful his mother is. Will the mistress of a rich family dislike them when she sees villagers like them?

Liu Shi couldn't help lowering her head to look at the clothes on her body.She doesn't wear silk easily at home, but this time she changed into it, just to not look too shabby.

Seeing her mother's small movements, Lin Zhu chuckled, and softly comforted her: "Mother, don't worry, they have invited us, and they definitely don't care about these things." Their family has no money and power, and they really hate the poor and love the rich. Take the initiative to contact?

Liu Shi thought about it too, but she was still unavoidably nervous.

The carriage gradually slowed down, and finally stopped. Chen Ping quickly got out of the carriage, and turned around to lift the curtain for Liu's wife and three.

Liu stuck her head out first, glanced at the door casually, and then froze.

Accompanied by her son, Ning stepped forward with a smile, and said to Liu: "Madam Lin has had a bumpy journey, you have worked hard."

Liu Shi was still a little dazed, Zhao Chen reminded softly: "Auntie, this is my mother."

Mrs. Liu came back to her senses, her face became hot, and she said in embarrassment after getting out of the car: "Here, madam looks so young, I almost mistook you for Cheng Yuan's sister just now! Really, I have never seen you like this in my life Fairy-like character, please don't make jokes when you lose your composure."

This is no joke.Mrs. Liu herself was born well. Her younger sister, Mrs. Liu, and even her two daughters are great beauties praised by outsiders. In fact, in terms of appearance, she is not much inferior to Mrs. Ning, but Mrs. Liu doesn't know how to describe her bearing. The rough guy, when he was in front of Ning's, he couldn't help but behave himself, he was ashamed of himself and dared not be abrupt.

Mrs. Ning is only two years older than Mrs. Liu. Seeing Mrs. Liu being so polite, she smiled and held Mrs. Liu's hand: "That's great, maybe I can still be cheeky when others say that. With your appearance...forget it , let’s not talk about this, it would seem that we are flattering each other if we continue talking about it. What about sister and brother Aju? I’ve been looking forward to hearing Chengyuan mention them earlier, I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time.”

Mrs. Liu hurriedly explained: "That girl, Ah Ju, has caught the wind and cold for the past two days, I let her rest at home, and she didn't come today." Then she turned around and called Lin Zhulin Chongjiu to come down
After hearing this, Ning glanced at Zhao Chen inadvertently.Zhao Chen had no expression on his face, he had already expected it to some extent.

Lin Zhu was the first to get out of the car, without waiting for his mother to introduce him, he gave Ning a generous look, and saluted with a smile: "Hello, Auntie, and Brother Zhao."

Ning called her to her side, looked at her with a smile, "Ah Zhu is so beautiful, it is more beautiful than the orchids in my yard, I took advantage of this one today, I wanted to invite you to see the flowers, but in the end I was so happy. Here, this is a meeting gift from your aunt, and I don't know what you like." Putting a gold-encrusted emerald and ruby ​​bracelet on Lin Zhu's hand.

Lin Zhu looked down and thanked happily: "The bracelet is so beautiful, A Zhu thanked Auntie!" After saying that, he returned to his mother.

Ning's eyes fell on Lin Chongjiu. The seven-year-old boy's face was fair and brows were lively, which really made people like him.She walked over and patted his head, and praised: "Your elder brother said that you are only seven years old, and you didn't expect to grow so tall. Let's go, Auntie has also prepared a gift for you, and I will give it to you when you are in the house." She greeted Liu Shi Mother and daughter go in.
