Li Weizhu showed a look of embarrassment on her face when she heard Zhao Dong's promise, and Master Zhao's gentle speech made her difficult to say that she wanted to withdraw from the marriage.

"Sir. Fortunately, there was no need to embarrass Li Weizhu, Zhou said: "This matter is not in a hurry, you just came back, many things are still unclear, there are some words, I need to talk to you in private." ”

Zhao Dong's brows furrowed, and Li Weizhu knew that Mrs. Zhao couldn't say anything good in her mouth, but hoped that Mrs. Zhao would open her mouth and refuse the marriage for her, so she said: "I'm drinking tea here to cool off for a while, and the weather is weird hot today." ”

Mrs. Zhao glanced at Li Weizhu, and then her eyes fell on Zhou Weiyue, who was a little anxious and obviously couldn't sit still, and nodded imperceptibly at her.

Zhou Weiyue's arms sat Zhao Shaoxing, she saw Zhou's movements, her heart was ecstatic, her spine was straightened, and she bent her lips and smiled: "I'm also a little hot, just sit with my sister to cool off, and also talk, there was any misunderstanding just now, it's okay to talk about it now." ”

"Liu Ye, take the second young master back to the room first. ”

"I'm not going back. Zhao Shaoxing said stubbornly, "I'm not leaving." ”

"Obedient!" said Master Zhao.

He Yue's father was strict with himself again, Zhao Shaoxing's mouth pursed, and Zhou Weiyue hurriedly coaxed Zhao Shaoxing.

"Zhao Shaoxing. Zhao Dong's voice became more and more indescribably cold, the matter under discussion at this time, it was not suitable for the nephew to wait outside, what was the presence of the youngest son?

Zhou Weiyue attached her ear to Zhao Shaoxing's ear, "Obedient, uncle and aunt are discussing your eldest brother's marriage, go back and wait." Her voice was slender, and her slender voice was captured by Li Weizhu.

Zhao Shaoxing also learned from Zhou Weiyue to speak, "I really hate her and don't want her to be my sister-in-law." ”

"Everyone in the house has discussed this matter, and my aunt just heard what you said, don't worry. ”

"But daddy ......" Zhao Shaoxing also saw his father's thoughts, since he had an accident because of naughty, he was very afraid of his father's face, but at this time, he stubbornly carried his father's face and stayed in the hall, because he really didn't like Li Weizhu and didn't want her to be his sister-in-law.

Zhou Weiyue read a word of apology in her heart, her aunt's meaning was clearly understood when she was sick, Li Weizhu and Zhao Shaochen's marriage would definitely come to fruition, but her uncle's acceptance of her conditions back then was still to be discussed, "No matter what the conclusion is, I'll go and tell you later, okay? ”

Zhao Shaoxing's favorite thing about Zhou Weiyue is this, she doesn't treat herself as a child, and then look at her father's ugly and scary face, "Then I'll go first." ”

climbed down from Zhou Weiyue's knee and took the initiative to hold the hand of the big girl Liu Ye.

"Go and get the old lady here. Zhou spoke.

Zhao Dong's brows were raised, and he listened to his wife say: "Finally, the master is back, and it is rare for my mother to stay in the house for such a long time, so it is good to sit together and discuss it." Zhou didn't want to persuade her husband and the old lady would get in the way.

Zhao Dong frowned, and said, "Please invite the old lady to come to the main hall, saying that there is something to discuss." ”

The old lady has not yet come, a few people sat in the main hall, Zhou Weiyue was a little restless, her palms were wet because of cold sweat, and she saw Li Weizhu by chance, her fingers unconsciously rubbed the delicate porcelain of the tea cup, her eyes were far away, her posture was arbitrary and relaxed, and she leaned slightly on the back of the chair, but she was stunned.

Zhou Weiyue was a little shocked, and wanted to learn from Li Weizhu to calm down, but she couldn't calm down, so she took a sip of tea, and the hot tea made her heart even hotter.

The old lady came over quickly, greeted her for a while, and then entered the inner room with her son and daughter-in-law.

Originally, the main hall was quiet, but now there was less sound of a few people's breathing, and it was even quieter, Zhou Wei looked at his nose and nose, and tried his best not to let himself think about what was going on in the house.

*****************************************************************************************************

"I think it's better to give up on this family business. "In the inner room, the first person to speak was Zhou.

"I exchanged tokens and wrote a marriage letter, and I want to break the contract now?" Zhao Dong shook his head, he respected his wife, and refuted his wife's words without a tone of reprimand.

Old Madam Zhao also spoke, "Daughter-in-law, did you come here to let me hear you say that you were going to break the contract?" After finishing speaking, she instructed the maid, "Go and bring the box in my treasury with hibiscus flowers carved on all sides." ”

Zhao Dong didn't speak, after the marriage with the Li family was settled, Li Weizhu's birthday and her Luoying gold and jade collar were all placed in this box, and he kept it for a few days, and then his mother came back to live and begged for the box.

"Mother, no. Zhou's expression was indifferent, "I know that the old man and the old doctor had an agreement back then. ”

"Now that you know, why do you still propose to break the contract?" Old Madam Zhao's eyelids lifted, "My Zhao family was able to surpass the Luo family in Zhangyang City before, relying on the word credit. Those words before, after your father-in-law went, I pulled Dongzi up alone, and what I taught him was to be a man, and what he did was to keep his promises, and over the years, Dongzi has been doing very well, and it has become what it is now, I think it's very good. I know that you have a good background and your own ability, otherwise Shaochen would not have some reputation in Zhangyang City. It's just that you have to know that the tradition of my Zhao family is to keep promises. ”

Old Madam Zhao's words were sonorous and powerful, but Zhou's heart was a little disapproving.

How many years have passed, and the Zhao family was able to come out of the predicament back then, but it was only because of the eyes of the nobles, and the temperament of the Luo family's family was too low-eyed, that the Zhao family gained a foothold in Zhangyang City.

When Mrs. Zhao spoke, the maid had already taken the box, "There is the girl's birthday in it, you open it and take a look." ”

"I don't look. "Zhou's cold and indifferent," the girl of the Li family said bluntly, she didn't know what her surname was, but she was picked up by Old Doctor Li, and she followed Old Doctor Li with a surname. ”

Old Madam Zhao reprimanded, "Then there will be no fake in this token?" Her voice was also full of fire, and she snatched the box from the maid's hand, opened the box, in addition to a red seal on the black velvet cloth, there was also a gold and jade collar lying quietly, the jade was amazing, even if no one played with it, it was less of the brilliance, it was also bright, face up, carved with a clump of bamboo, and the Wei character written by the small seal was in the lower right corner.

Zhao Dong opened his mouth at this time, "Mother." He shook his head at Old Madam Zhao, "Qingru was a little confused for a while. ”

Qingru is Zhou's maiden name, and Zhou's expression eased a little when she heard her husband call her maiden name.

Zhao Dong looked at Zhou Qingru and said: "I only told you about Doctor Li before, I guessed at the time that people with such medical skills could not be general, and after inquiring, this person should be the 'Broken Pulse Hand' more than ten years ago, do you know what this Doctor Li is best at, that is, whether the woman is pregnant with a man or a woman." Other doctors may have made mistakes, but this Doctor Li has never made a mistake after seven or eight years of hard work. Originally, he was born as a imperial physician in the court, and with this ability, it can be said that the scenery is unique in Kyoto. ”

Zhou Qingru didn't know that this old doctor Li had such an allusion, so he said: "So what? Do you still expect this girl Li to be a little doctor Li?"

Zhao Dong shook his head, "You don't need how clever she is, it's enough to be able to tell whether a woman is a man or a woman." "You don't have to be as beautiful as Li Xun, so that you will cause trouble, just be enough.

"It's just a woman, I don't know if I have the ability to do it. Zhou Qingru said, "Just because she can hurt Xiaoyue first, and then push Xiaoyue this time, you can know that there is no medical skill and benevolence." ”

Before Zhao Shaoxing came over, Zhao Dong listened to Zhou talk about Li Weizhu pushing Zhou Weiyue, Master Zhao has seen Li Xun, and he has also seen Li Weizhu, when he gave Zhao Shaoxing a leg treatment, he took Shaoxing to live in the village for three months, and it was enough to understand Li Weizhu's character, at this time he didn't believe it, just shook his head, "She is not such a person." ”

"Do you believe her or Shaoxing?" Zhou sneered, "The first thing is just that, no one can tell the situation at that time, but today Shaoxing saw it with his own eyes." ”

Old Madam Zhao looked indifferent, and listened to her daughter-in-law continue: "Of course I know that she must have been a good person back then, otherwise the old man would not have taken a fancy to her." It's just that it was before, Old Doctor Li is old after all, maybe he has neglected her now, so she looks crooked. ”

Seeing that her son's expression was also relaxed, Mrs. Zhao's original action of pinching the Buddhist beads in her hand stopped, and said categorically, "The marriage cannot be withdrawn." If there is something wrong with me, there is still a period of time before the original marriage contract, so I took it to Zhuangzi to adjust and teach. ”

Zhao Dong is willing to let Li Weizhu be his eldest daughter-in-law, firstly, because his mother's teachings since childhood are unwilling to make his mother angry, and secondly, he knows that Li Xun is indeed teaching Li Weizhu with his heart, and Li Weizhu is also enthusiastic about studying medicine, he has heard Li Xun say that Li Weizhu has talent, Li Xun's ability, Li Weizhu has learned □□ ten times.

There was silence in the room, and it seemed as if it had reached an impasse.

It was Zhou who took the initiative to sigh, "That's it." Mother, I know the family motto of the Zhao family. "She wasn't prepared to really let this family business stop, but she just retreated, "She can marry Zhao Shaoxing, but she is in charge of the family, and Shaochen is forty years old and has no children and cannot take concubines, so she should go." ”
