Chapter 176: Pregnancy
You must know that Zhou Liuniang thinks of him like this, Zhou Tao is only afraid that he will feel a huge injustice, because he has asked his subordinates to tell Liuzhou Niang that the prince of Linjiang will not see her, and he thought that it would be okay to say so, but how do you know that Zhou Tao and other people in the second room are not good things, and Liuniang doesn't think this is the truth at all, and she doesn't believe his words, and thinks that he doesn't want to see Zhao Yao to say this, so he will be so unhappy at this time.

Although thinking like this, Zhou Tao didn't let her in at this time, she really didn't dare to break in, after all, she was still in the house, and the other party was her own elder, if the other party didn't want to see her go in, she had to break in, and then the other party drank and ordered her to get out, then it would be boring, if she didn't get out, and she didn't listen to the elders, and then it spread out, and her reputation was also ugly, so at this time, she could only swallow her anger, but although she didn't dare to break in, she didn't leave, and wanted to wait for Zhao Yao to come out, so she leaned over to see if there was a chanceγ
Zhao Yao drank the tea in his hand unhurriedly, thinking about things in his mind, time passed quickly, and it was not long before it was time for Hibiscus to get out of class, and Zhou Tao, who was very bored, saw that the time was up, so he said positively: "Hibiscus girl is out of class, I'll take the prince over." β
"Okay, I'm tired. Zhao Yao nodded.
Then as soon as he got out of the house, he saw a delicate voice calling: "Lord Wang." β
When I saw it, it was a Saturday mother dressed up in flowers.
Zhou Tao saw that Zhou Liuniang was still waiting outside the courtyard, and he was very ashamed of her behavior of climbing the dragon and the phoenix, but he thought that it would be good if he could break up the hibiscus and the king of Linjiang County, so he didn't stop Liuniang's approach, but stood aside to see how Zhao Yao coped.
But seeing that Zhao Yao didn't even look at it, as if he hadn't heard her greeting, he walked and walked towards the courtyard on the other side of the hibiscus, and with such a disregarded attitude, his face was red and blue.
Zhou Tao saw that Zhao Yao didn't care about Liuniang at all, so he had to remind him loudly, and immediately smiled: "Lord Wang, the six girls in our house called you." β
Zhao Yao is not a humble gentleman like Zhou Tao, but he will not go against his will, obviously he doesn't want to deal with anyone, for the sake of pity and cherishing jade, he will be patient to take care of it, so he snorted coldly at the moment and said: "What cats and dogs have to be taken care of, then I will be tired to death every day." β
After saying that, he continued to stride forward, leaving behind the Saturday Niang, who had been slapped in the face again and was once again blue and red, and her body was shaky because of the shame.
Don't blame Zhao Yao for treating Zhou Niang like this, he hasn't forgotten the salivating expression on his face when this girl looked at him last time, which really disgusted him, even now, it's not much better than the last time, it's still that kind of explicit disgusting expression, so Zhao Yao naturally won't pay attention to her.
Zhou Tao saw that Zhao Yao didn't give Zhou Liuniang face like this, there was no way, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, and secretly said that this year, it is really not anyone, and he speaks as flattering as himself.
Not long after, Zhao Yao came to the outside of the hibiscus courtyard.
Mu Hibiscus had already finished class at this time, and when he heard that Zhao Yao was coming, he naturally hurried to see him.
Zhou Tao also knew each other, and seeing that neither of them wanted to see him present, he led the people to the hibiscus courtyard and left.
"You've been bored waiting for so long, aren't you?, why didn't you let someone talk earlier?" said Hibiscus.
Zhao Yao pursed his lips and said, "It's not that I was forced by your ill-intentioned father. β
immediately told Mu Hibiscus what Zhou Tao said, afraid that Mu Hibiscus would think too much, so he explained: "I don't think too much, but it's better to be careful in everything." β
Hibiscus smiled: "I didn't say that you did something wrong, you can think of me like this, how can I blame you?"
In fact, Zhao Yao did a very good job, how to guard against Zhou Tao, she has seen Zhou Tao's deeds from her grandfather and Zhao Yao, no one can be smooth sailing without any enemies or people who are not pleasing to the eye, so naturally there are people who can't get along with Zhou Tao or Zhou Tao can't look good, but except for those people who Zhou Tao really can't provoke, but whoever provokes them, these two kinds of people often have a bad reputation because of certain things, although Zhou Tao is very hidden, but he can still find some clues, and it can be seen that it is more or less related to him, how can such a difficult person deal with it carelesslyοΌ
Zhao Yao saw that Mu Hibiscus didn't blame him, so he put his mind at ease, and then said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to come for a long time, but I was afraid that you were still adapting to the new environment and working hard, so it was a few days later, thinking that you should have almost adapted to it." How are you lately? What grievances have you suffered in the Zhou family?"
Mu Hibiscus shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry, my grandfather and grandmother have sent me so many people to protect me, how can anyone dare to bully me?"
"Those people can only protect you from being calculated, but if you encounter force, it is still a little difficult, in case someone uses force against you, you are afraid that you will not be able to deal with it, so how about I arrange two practitioners for you to protect? In the past few months, I have also picked a few good skills in picking the prince's own soldiers. Zhao Yao said.
When the county lord of Dezhao had such an incident, he didn't catch the murderer in the end, although it seems that the robbers did it, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Zhou family, but no matter what, it's always true that the county lord of Dezhao has an accident, so it's always right to let the hibiscus guard against a little.
Mu Hibiscus thought for a moment and said, "The guard is a man, isn't it?
After all, this is an era that pays attention to the defense of men and women, but it is not like modern times, women are bodyguards for men, and men are bodyguards for women, and it's okay.
Zhao Yao smiled: "Don't worry, it's a eunuch, when I first picked it, I thought that I would marry you at that time, and you can't do it without someone around you to protect you, so I specially picked some good skills among the eunuchs." β
In these years, if a eunuch wants to mix well, he is also versatile, and he is not overwhelmed, so it is normal for someone to have good skills.
When Zhao Yao said this, Mu Hibiscus was relieved, so he said, "Okay, then add two guards." β
Hibiscus is also a cautious person, and she still cherishes her own life, and the staff of the prefecture only said that she would not be allowed to get sick and die early, but she did not say that there was a protection mechanism for being killed, so she naturally had to be careful.
After saying this, Zhao Yao said again: "Originally, the matter of asking for marriage should be good at this time, but your grandfather said that he was afraid that your father would interfere in family affairs, and he planned to find an opportunity to tell His Majesty about our marriage, and see if he could let His Majesty give us a marriage in person. β
Even he, a powerless and powerless county king, asked for a kiss, even if Zhou Tao wanted to refuse, he felt a lot of pressure, the emperor wanted to open the royal mouth to ask for marriage, and he didn't dare to refuse with Zhou Tao's ten guts, this is the method that the king of Changping County came up with to prevent Zhou Tao from refusing to do things.
Zhao Yao didn't know that Mu Hibiscus already knew about it, and he was afraid that Mu Hibiscus would be in a hurry, so he came today to talk about it.
Mu Hibiscus had already learned about this from the mouth of the person sent by the Princess of Changping to inform her that day, so Zhao Yao was not surprised when he said it at this time, and said with a smile: "My grandmother has already told me." β
While the two were talking, they heard a movement at the door.
"Sister-in-law Wang, what are you holding here?" someone asked.
The man must have spoken a little louder than usual, or he wouldn't have been able to hear it clearly in the room.
The person called Sister-in-law Wang obviously didn't expect the other party to ask so loudly in front of the master's door, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while before saying, "...... Yes...... It was the second master who asked me to send it, saying that it was the exquisite dim sum sent by the second aunt and grandmother from the Earl of Zhongyong's mansion, and that it was given to their family by the Cheng'en Mansion, a rare good thing, and it was only eaten in the palace. β
Mu Hibiscus listened to the movement at the door and whispered to Zhao Yao: "Someone is here, this person is not brought by me from other homes, but sent from this house." β
These people are naturally not at ease with their use, but in order to show that they are defenseless, they did not deliberately exclude them from waiting for their masters, as long as they are capable, they will still be arranged in suitable positions according to their ability.
However, on the surface, it seems to be defenseless, but it is naturally still defensive inside, so once Hibiscus wants to say something to someone in private, these people approach, and the people guarding the door will warn, and as soon as they speak, Hibiscus will know that an outsider is coming, and then he will stop talking.
After a while, the sister-in-law Wang came in with a box.
Mama Wang is a woman in her thirties, and her appearance looks very loyal and honest, but a pair of eyes that glance east and west destroy her honest feeling, at this time she handed things to hibiscus while thinking about the second master's explanation, secretly glanced at Zhao Yao, and secretly said It's a pity, the idiot at the door is always too enthusiastic, and everyone likes to ask, if it weren't for the other party's loud asking, she came in quietly, and she could hear what the third lady said to the king of Linjiang County, and then she could tell the second master and ask for credit in front of the second master.
At that moment, Mama Wang smiled and said: "The second aunt and grandmother said that there are not many things, just let the girls taste it." β
Mu Hibiscus pretended not to see her thief eyebrows, opened the box and looked, there were only a few pieces of dim sum inside, sure enough, it could only be tasted, but looking at the appearance of these things, you know that it is different from the roadside stalls, and you can know that the taste should be good at a glance, but Mu Hibiscus can understand why there are so few.
Cheng'en Mansion sent the good things that can only be eaten in the palace to the Earl of Zhongyong's Mansion, Grandma Li of the Earl's Mansion of Zhongyong either read her mother's house, or in order to show off, she sent some back to her mother's house, this thing is definitely not much, after all, the things that Earl Zhongyong's Mansion gets, up and down, how much can Grandma Li get, she can't share much, and she has to squeeze some to her mother's family, this Qing'an Earl's Mansion will get even less, so Zhou Tao shouldn't have much in his hands, and then he will definitely give it to his son, Zhou Airu, Zhou Xinru, such a point, how many more can be distributed to the hibiscus? There is no one piece, it is estimated that Zhou Tao saved his share, who asked him to pretend to be a loving father, and it is not good to pass on so many children if there are so many children?
Mu Hibiscus pushed the box to Zhao Yao and said with a smile: "Taste a piece?"
Zhao Yao waved his hand and said, "You can eat, I don't like to eat these snacks." β
It's strange if you don't like to eat, I don't know how much I bought for him in recent years, I don't eat at this time, I guess I see less things, I'm embarrassed to eat again, so as not to eat it.
Mu Hibiscus didn't keep arguing with him, but only put the things in the middle of the case and let him take them or not, so he asked Mama Wang: "But how can the Chengen Mansion send things to the second aunt's house?"
It's not a year's holiday, and I won't send these things to the Earl's Mansion of Zhongyong.
"It is said that the eldest aunt and grandmother in their house are happy. Mama Wang really knew the reason.
Mu Hibiscus suddenly, secretly said that Li Xin was pregnant, so it is no wonder that the Cheng'en Mansion would send such a delicate dim sum to the Earl of Zhongyong's Mansion, it is estimated that not only dim sum, but also other things to celebrate.
Now must be the happiest time for Li Xin and Mrs. Li, you must know that according to Hibiscus, after Li Xin got married, he has not been favored, Cheng'en Gongzi likes Li Shu, if he is not favored, Cheng'en Gongzi must have very little time to go to her room, so Li Xin will marry for half a year, and there has been no good news, this time there is finally good news, as long as you get a man in one fell swoop, Cheng'en Mansion will be Li Xin's mother and son in the future, how can Li Shu give birth to a son, and the concubine has no power to inherit the title, plus in the eyes of Li Xin and Mrs. Li, Li Shu has been drugged and cannot have children, so as long as Li Xin is pregnant with a child, there will be no need to be afraid of anything in the future, so it is no wonder that Li Xin and Mrs. Li are happy.
When Hibiscus was talking to Zhao Yao, Zhou Airu, who heard that his father sent pastries to Hibiscus, but Zhou Airu, who didn't give them to herself, was losing her temper.
Yes, those pastries, in fact, not only saved Zhou Tao's own share, but also Aunt Bai, Zhou Airu, and Zhou Xinru's share, in order to reflect his father's importance to the newly returned daughter, so that outsiders unanimously praised Zhou Tao for how good his father is.
Of course, in order to appease Aunt Bai's mother and daughter, lest they don't know the situation, their brains are stupid, they drag their feet, jump up and choke with Zhou Mujian, and ruin his hard work, he naturally explained the reason why he did this to Aunt Bai in advance, so Aunt Bai also told her daughter about the situation.
Although Aunt Bai has explained Zhou Tao's approach to Zhou Airu, Zhou Airu is still very angry when she sees her new sister robbing her favor, although because her father has already made it clear, she will go to Zhou Mujin or her father to make trouble, that is, she is not good, and it will reduce her impression in front of her father, so it is inconvenient for her to go to Hibiscus and her father to make trouble, but it does not mean that this matter is over, so Zhou Airu turned around and went to instigate Zhou Xinru, who also did not get a snack.
I thought that Zhou Mujian would come back when he came back, and Zhou Xinru, who was nothing, saw that his father didn't love him much and gave a part of his love to the new girl, and he was getting worse and worse for himself. Therefore, Zhou Xinru, who is also interested in Zhao Yao, also listed hibiscus as a competitor, all kinds of reasons are mixed together, and with Zhou Airu's provocation, Zhou Xinru naturally hates hibiscus more and more, and she can't help but breathe fire at the moment, slap the table and say: "Why is this person so annoying? β
