The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 34
A few people were in front, and Zhao Chen silently followed behind. Before entering the door, he couldn't help but glance towards the east.

Let her hide and see how long she can hide.

When they arrived at the hall, Mrs. Ning greeted the three of Mrs. Liu to have tea, and winked at Wenmei.Wenmei quickly came up with a case in hand, Ning took off a red gold necklace with a long life lock from it, called Lin Chongjiu to her side, and put it on lovingly for him.

Lin Chongjiu was not as calm as her sister, and looked at her mother with a blushing face.

Mrs. Liu thanked her a long time ago: "Ma'am, you are too polite. They are all children in the village, so why should they wear such good things?" She doesn't know much about jade, but gold and precious stones can be recognized by anyone with a discerning eye.

Ning smiled peacefully: "I like children who are close to each other. It doesn't matter if they are in the city or the country. I will give the big girl a chance in the future." After speaking, she held Lin Chongjiu's shoulders and looked at her carefully, and then she was very envious He said to Liu Shi: "Xiaojiu looks dignified, intelligent and sensible, and Azhu is lively, cute and charming. I heard that Aju is not only one of the best in appearance, but also has a gentle and virtuous temperament. Why do you let your Lin family occupy such three good children?" gone?"

Mrs. Liu looked at Zhao Chen who was standing next to Mrs. Ning, and said modestly: "Ma'am, you are just kidding, our Aju is just fine, so don't worry about it, Azhu and Xiaojiu are only good when they go out as guests. The family is so naughty, how can there be Chengyuan who is young and promising to be envied." She used to call Mr. Zhao, but now that she has officially moved, she can't be called by Ning's nickname affectionately. .

Lin Zhu stood next to his mother, and when he heard this, he complained in a low voice: "Mother, you have belittled us again, and Xiao Jiu and I will not accompany you out after this!"

The 12-year-old girl is delicate and naive, and she is not restrained when she is a guest for the first time.Ning Shi looked at the intimacy between Liu Shi and her daughter, as if the whole house was getting too angry.

After talking for a while, Zhao Chen led Lin Chongjiu to the front yard, and Ning and Liu's mother and daughter went to the garden to enjoy the flowers.

The Zhou family raises orchids. Although the Liu family and Lin Zhu are not as obsessed with orchids as Ah Ju, they can recognize most of the rare varieties. If they don’t know each other, Ning will introduce them softly. Some of them are not even available in the Zhou family.Lin Zhu really felt sorry for the elder sister, "It's a pity that elder sister is not feeling well, otherwise she would be happy to see these orchids."

This kid can really lie.

The corners of Ning's mouth curled up, and she said softly: "It's okay, you can come here to see the flowers when Ah Ju is well. Your Brother Zhao often goes out, and I am the only one in the big house. I have been looking forward to someone coming to talk to me. .”

Lin Zhu smiled and nodded: "As long as my aunt doesn't think I talk too much, I will come every day!"

"You are the only one who can talk!" Mrs. Liu tapped her daughter's forehead angrily, and asked Mrs. Ning curiously, "Master Zhao rarely comes back?"

Mrs. Ning had just picked a bright yellow orchid, and while putting on Lin Zhu's hairpin, she said casually: "Yes, he likes doing business the most. He travels here and there, and sometimes he doesn't come back during the Chinese New Year. A few years ago I also want to bring Cheng Yuan with me, but fortunately Cheng Yuan cares about me and refuses to go with him."

If the Lin family knew the true identity of the Zhao family, they would never send their daughter to that kind of cannibalistic place. She didn't want to lie, but her son rarely begged her since he was a child. She had no choice but to help. The only thing she could do was Take good care of Ah Ju in the future.Now that there is her son around outside, she used to not want to take care of it in the Hou's mansion, and she still doesn't want to take care of it now, but she is confident that she can protect her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Liu already knew that Zhao Chen was a filial child, but she still couldn't help feeling sorry for Mrs. Ning.Such a beautiful person doesn't have a husband by his side, as does Mr. Zhao, so business is so important?

Guessing that Ning's heart would definitely not feel good, Liu thoughtfully did not mention this again.

After strolling around the garden for a while, it's time for lunch.

Because there are few people, and Lin Zhu is not too big, Ning asked the servant girl to call Zhao Chen and Lin Chongjiu, and when they were all seated, she said to Liu with emotion: "Usually, Cheng Yuan and I eat together, and there are only two people on the table. Eat, deserted. He couldn’t do anything when he was young, but when he grows up, I want to make a marriage for him. There are so many people, I never thought that since he was 14 years old, he insisted on picking someone he likes. Nothing."

After hearing this, Lin Chongjiu thought of the conversation by the river that day, and peeked at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen was expressionless, but when Lin Chongjiu looked over, he blinked quickly at him.

Lin Chongjiu lowered his head and chuckled, because only the two of them knew the secret.

Lin Zhu saw the interaction between the two, and looked down at the table in front of him.This Mrs. Zhao asked them to come over and said this specifically, obviously she was also satisfied with Elder Sister.The family is rich and doesn't dislike the poor and loves the rich. Mrs. Zhao seems to be easy to get along with. The eldest sister will live well if she can marry here. It's a pity that the eldest sister has not yet recovered from the blow, and she refuses to look at Zhao Chen at all.

Emotions are really complicated.

Mrs. Liu focused on talking to Mrs. Ning: "Ma'am, don't worry, Chengyuan's character, appearance and family background are all here, as long as he likes her, the girl will be happy to accept her, so don't worry and let him pick someone who is close to his eyes. With such a good condition, of course the vision is high.”

Zhao Chen smiled awkwardly: "Auntie loves so much, Chengyuan is ashamed to be so."

Ning gave him a sharp look: "You still have some self-knowledge."

Being ridiculed by his mother, Zhao Chen looked at her complainingly, it was rare to show a slightly childish side in front of the Lin family.Lin Zhu was the first to snicker, and Lin Chongjiu also looked at his most respected Brother Zhao with fresh eyes, and was delighted to find out that he was also afraid of his mother.Liu Shi and Ning Shi looked at each other and smiled, with the happiness and helplessness of being mothers in their eyes.

A meal, the guest and host enjoy.

After talking for a while after the meal, the mother and son of the Ning family sent the three of the Liu family out.

Reciprocity, Mrs. Liu warmly invited Mrs. Ning: "Madam, if you are bored at home, you can come to our house at any time. The doe sent by Chengyuan last month has a new fawn recently. We call it Yoyo , the little guy is quite cute."

"Yoyo?" Ning repeated softly.

Just as Lin Chongjiu was about to explain the origin of the name, Zhao Chen had already opened his mouth: "Yo Yo Lu Ming, Shi Ye Zhi Ping, this name is well chosen."

Liu's heart moved slightly, Lin Chongjiu thought little, and immediately said happily: "That's the sentence, my eldest sister said it is a sentence in the "Book of Songs"!"

Her name?
Zhao Chen didn't show it on his face, but his mood became a little clearer. Does he have a tacit understanding with her like this?

Watching the carriage go away, Zhao Chen helped his mother to go in, and asked her in a chatty manner: "When does mother plan to arrange someone to propose a marriage? I have already written to my father, asking him to choose a day to come back, and the day he arrives will be Marriage day."

Ning paused, turned her head and asked him: "Are you so sure that she will agree to marry you?"

"Does mother think I'll let him come here just to see my jokes?" Zhao Chen didn't answer directly.

Even if it was her own son, Ning couldn't get used to the rampant appearance of the young man.She sighed, thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it after I talk to her. As you said, her parents love their children. Whether the marriage will succeed or not is ultimately up to her to decide."

"Thank you mother." Zhao Chen squeezed his mother's shoulders flatteringly.

Ning glared at him, enjoying her son's flattery with peace of mind.

Lin Zhu returned home and immediately ran to whisper to the elder sister.

She is not stupid, knowing that Ah Ju doesn't want to hear about Zhao Chen, so let's talk about Zhao's orchids first.Ah Ju didn't want to hear it at first, but when her sister mentioned those treasures, she couldn't help but stop her embroidery work.When Lin Zhu saw her, she spoke more and more vigorously, and finally praised Ning: "Eldest sister, Mrs. Zhao is very beautiful. Mother was stunned when she got off the car. She is so beautiful that you feel as if something is wrong with her when you see her." It's all gone, calm down."

Ah Ju smiled and continued to sew clothes, "Are you talking about Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

Being ridiculed, Lin Zhu pouted angrily: "Believe it or not, you'll know when you see her. But Zhao... his appearance doesn't follow Mrs. Zhao's. I don't know what Master Zhao looks like again."

Ah Ju has no interest in Zhao's affairs at all, and keeps her head down and busy with her own.

In a few days it will be the Ghost Festival, and the family is busy worshiping their ancestors.Both Lin and Liu went early, and sister Aju first accompanied her parents to their cemetery to pay homage to their grandparents whom they had never seen before.Maybe it's a blood relationship, although I haven't seen it before, seeing my father kneeling in front of the grave and weeping, the three children couldn't help crying, feeling sad.The next day, I went to the grave of Liu's family to pay respects to my grandfather and grandmother. Compared with Lin Xian's sad tears, both Liu's family and Xiao Liu's family wept convulsively, and Ah Ju and Lin Zhu comforted each other, so they inevitably cried too.

After crying a lot, she quickly returned to her normal life after returning home, and the depression in Ah Ju's heart also dissipated a lot with those tears.

Compared with life and death, what is a moment of unhappiness?Anyway, after death, there are only a few tufts of dead grass on the head of a grave. It is really not worth a lifetime of depression because of childhood love.

This day, when Lin Chongjiu went to learn kung fu by the river again, Aju and sisters were playing in the yard.Yoyo likes to run outside, and the Lin family can't bear to hold it, and let it out for a walk from time to time.One person can't run it, but two people cooperate without fear that it will overwhelm it, chasing it back and forth with laughter.Sitting under the eaves, Mrs. Liu sews autumn shirts for her husband. When she gets tired, she looks up at her two daughters playing.

Sister Aju ran happily, didn't hear any movement outside, but Liu's ears heard it, and when the carriage really stopped at the door of her house, she hurriedly told her daughter to lock Yoyo into the fence.It's a pity that Yoyo is running so fast now, it's hard to catch it together with Aju Linzhu, Liu Shi has no choice but to open the door first, and before opening the door, he looks back to make sure Yoyo is not running this way, first flash out quickly, and then Take the door from the outside.

Ning Shi had already got out of the car and was amused by her appearance.

Seeing it was her, Mrs. Liu was both surprised and delighted, "Why is Madam here? Come on, please come inside, here, Ah Ju and the others are teasing Xiaolu, I'm afraid Xiaolu will run out and make you laugh."

"I'm not kidding, but envy is true. The children are surrounded by their knees, and they are content." Ning walked in with Liu, and Wenmei followed behind with a pot of orchids.

All three of them entered the door, and Liu Shi closed the door behind.

Ning stood in front and waited for her.The small farmyard is clean and tidy. Two girls in the yard are catching a fawn. When they saw her, they were stunned. One of them greeted her with a smile, while the other, who was a little older, looked at her with a complicated expression, her delicate face was pale. With rosy cheeks, she is indeed a rare beauty, beautiful but not arrogant, demure and elegant.

With just one glance, Ning understood why her son liked Ah Ju.Perhaps all the men in the Zhao family like such a girl.

She smiled kindly at her.

She came for her son, but if this girl really didn't want to marry, she wouldn't force her.
