Chapter 26: Zhao Baoxia's scheming

Under Zhao Baoxia's hard persuasion, He Fulin relented and agreed to take over the restaurant's business. Seeing that the goal was achieved, Zhao Baoxia was busy with all kinds of gentle and petty thoughts, serving carefully, and coaxing He Fulin was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to sigh: If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for.

In fact, what He Fulin didn't know was that this was the purpose of his daughter-in-law coming back with him this time.

Let's start with the encounter between He Fulin and Zhao Baoxia.

After all, Shanghe Town is a transportation hub between the two prefectures, with a large flow of people and a relatively open people's customs. Every year on September 9, on the riverside of Shanghe Town, a variety of poetry and song competitions will be held, called the Autumn Meeting. However, the contestants must be above the status of Xiucai.

Although He Fulin was only fifteen or sixteen years old, his talent was really good, although he had not yet been admitted to the status of Xiucai at that time, but his master specially asked for a place for him to see the world.

Speaking of He Fulin's table xiàn is not bad, he passed five levels and cut six generals, and finally won the third place, and was finally promoted to Xiucai.

Don't think that the third place is nothing remarkable, you must know that the first place was obtained by the talent of Wutong Academy back then, and that person later passed the examination at the age of 20.

And the second place is the old master who recommended He Fulin. It can be seen that on the day when there were many talents, He Fulin was able to achieve the third place, which naturally made him famous.

Although Zhao Baoxia is everyone's best girl, she loves the house and Wu, and the rich man Zhao is not very restrained by this daughter. Therefore, she naturally will not let go of the rare opportunity to join in the fun.

At that time, seeing that a person who was about the same age as herself won the third place, she dressed as a man, and stopped He Fulin to compete with him.

In this era, although men are inferior to women, there is no saying that women are virtuous if they are not talented, as long as the family has money, there are also many women who go to school, but at the age of twelve, women can only ask for a master alone, and can no longer be in the academy with men.

Zhao Baoxia has been interested in poetry and poetry since she was a child, and her mother-in-law and third aunt have also spent a lot of energy cultivating her.

He Fulin is also a strong one, and if someone comes to challenge, he will not refuse. The two of them went from five words to seven laws, and He Fulin also guessed from Zhao Baoxia's ear piercing and voice that she was a daughter.

And Zhao Baoxia is deeply impressed by He Fulin's talent. It's hard to meet such an opponent who you admire, so you naturally have to make an appointment to continue next time.

He Fulin also admires Zhao Baoxia's talent, the beauty has an appointment, and he will not refuse, just like this, the two gradually fell in love.

When the rich man Zhao heard about He Fulin's family background, he disagreed, he was the most precious to your daughter, how could he marry a mud leg?

Zhao Baoxia had expected that the rich man Zhao would disagree, so she first let the third aunt see He Fulin. looks like a talent and is quite talented, the third aunt was also relieved and became a lobbyist for her daughter.

Rich Zhao has always believed in the third aunt, and when he heard that He Fulin won the third place at the autumn meeting, he agreed.

In fact, the main reason why the third aunt could agree was not He Fulin, but Zhao Baoxia's words.

No matter how much the third aunt is favored, she is just a concubine, and she doesn't have a son by her side, although she is now favored by her father, but the most important thing is to be able to sit on the status of an equal wife or a wife.

The wife of the Zhao Mansion has two sons and a daughter, if she wants to sit on the status of the wife, what is the reason in general?

Zhao Baoxia is a daughter, and she is not interested in the business of the house. Therefore, she thought that she could let He Fulin slowly take over the business of the Zhao Mansion, and then compare the two sisters-in-law, which would naturally give the third aunt too much face.

However, with He Fulin's temperament, he would definitely not do this kind of inverted door-to-door thing, so Zhao Baoxia took it step by step, first because it was inconvenient for him to stay in the academy, so he let him live in Zhao's house.

Then slowly let him see the contrast between the Zhao Mansion and the He family, as well as his own grievances.

In this way, until today, He Fulin agreed to take over the restaurant.

Why do you want to say that Zhao Baoxia is planning so much? For herself, of course!

Although she likes He Fulin, she doesn't look down on his family background. Let him stay in the Zhao Mansion for a long time, even if he is not willing to be a son-in-law, as long as he can stay in the Zhao Mansion for a long time, it will be fine.

The twists and turns of those people in the upper room Mu Zhen didn't understand, and they weren't interested in caring.

He Fulin came back, and the Song family didn't let their family go out, and she was happy.

The work on the slope was finished, He Fulin came back, and the Song family was busy welcoming his son, and he forgot to find a job for He Laosan, so He Laosan pretended not to know, and took the opportunity to go to the mountains early in the morning to sell some wild things.

Mu Zhen's legs and feet are inconvenient, and she can't get out of bed for the time being, so the sensible little bun sits on the edge of the bed to accompany her.

He Laosan was afraid that Mu Zhen would be lying in bed all the time and panicked, so he went to Dr. Xu's house to borrow some books.

The book Mu Zhen is holding in her hand now is an ancient version of the mythological story, and while she is reading, she tells it to Xiao Baozi in a colorful way. In her previous life, Mu Zhen participated in a lot of various poetry recitations and speech competitions, and this depressed tone was quite a storyteller's feeling, which was very attractive.

He Fulin had been reading the book for more than half an hour, and when he was coming out for a walk, he heard the story that Mu Zhen read.

The tactful and light voice makes people very comfortable to listen to, not to mention Xiao Baozi, even him, and he can't help but stop and listen to the story.

After reading a story, in the house, Xiao Baozi thoughtfully sent water, and here, He Fulin also came back to his senses.

When did you have such a woman in the family? Look at the thatched house, isn't it where the third child lives? What kind of virtue is that woman, although she has not been in direct contact with her, but she has lived under one roof for a long time, so she knows something.

For this family, he has no other feelings in his heart, but it is dispensable. But everyone in the family can take them casually, and he doesn't take these three people seriously.

Not long after He Laosan returned home, he was sent to Yunxian County. Later, He Laosan came back from marrying his daughter-in-law, and he studied in the academy for a long time. If it weren't for his father's swearing, he would have almost forgotten that there were still these three people in the family.

The gentle voice remembered again, and He Fulin couldn't help but raise his legs and walk towards the thatched hut he had never entered.

Raise your legs to come in, although the house is low and dim, it is neat and orderly, and there is no smell of thatched and rotten. It was daytime, and there was no cooking, so Mu Zhen pulled up the curtain on the back room.

As soon as He Fulin entered the door, he saw a woman reclining at the head of the bed, holding a book in her hand. 's gentle and quiet temperament made He Fulin and the babbling and vulgar woman in his memory incompatible.

"I didn't expect you to have such a laid-back and elegant side, but it makes me feel strange."

Mu Zhen lowered her head to read, Xiao Baozi sat with her back to the door, neither of them noticed that there was a person at the door, He Fulin suddenly spoke, so frightened that Mu Zhen trembled, and the book in his hand fell off the bed.

Seeing Mu Zhen raise her panicked eyes and look at herself, He Fulin actually felt that she looked very funny, like a frightened little white rabbit, and couldn't help but laugh sneeringly.

Mu Zhen glanced at He Fulin angrily, and said, "The fourth brother is such a big person, why do you still like to play this kind of prank that little babies love to play?" ”

Regarding Mu Zhen's white eyes, He Fulin didn't care, and quipped: "It's obvious that you are cowardly, how can you blame others?" ”

Mu Zhen opened her mouth, and was about to argue a few words for herself, but she heard a delicate voice from behind He Fulin, "Xianggong, who is this little lady?" Why don't we see them when we get married? It turns out that there are people living in this thatched house, and I always thought that it was for miscellaneous goods or livestock. ”

Zhao Baoxia is the second backlit station, a little far away, Mu Zhen can't see her appearance clearly, but just her words make people unhappy.

The voice sounded grinning, but the words were prickly. It's a fire, it's a knife in the dark, that's what you're talking about, right?

Although He Fulin also felt that what his daughter-in-law said was a little inappropriate, he couldn't blame him when he saw that the other party was still looking at him with a coquettish face.

He Laosan's family has always wanted to admit it. If it weren't for Mu Zhen's book that attracted him today, he wouldn't have come here.

Therefore, he didn't know how to introduce Mu Zhen's identity for a while, so he interrupted and asked, "Why don't you sleep for a while?" Are you hungry? ”

Zhao Baoxia glanced at He Fulin with disgust, "Don't you treat me as a pig?" In addition to eating or sleeping? ”

Then, as if he didn't know He Fulin's intentions, he walked to Mu Zhen's bed and said, "Sister, who are you Fulin?" I haven't seen you for so long since I married into the He family. However, since they live together, they must be Fulin's relatives. ”

As he spoke, he took off the bracelet he was wearing, and was about to stuff it into Mu Zhen's hand, saying: "No one told me, and Baoxia doesn't know, it's been so long since I married in, and I haven't come to see my sister, this bracelet is a little bit of Baoxia's heart, and my sister will accept it, so Baoxia will compensate her sister." ”

Mu Zhen was confused by Zhao Baoxia's enthusiasm, and really wanted to remind her: Girl, your husband's family doesn't like me, did you make it?

However, before Mu Zhen could say anything, Zhao Baoxia's hand that was still prevaricating with her suddenly let go, and the bracelet that no one was holding fell to the ground and shattered in half.

"I'm obviously kind enough to give it to you, you don't want to forget it, why do you want to throw me on the ground?"

Looking at Zhao Baoxia's aggrieved appearance and looking at herself, Mu Zhen secretly said in her heart: It turned out that she was going to play this, girl, good intentions.

looked at Zhao Baoxia with an innocent look on his face, and said, "This girl, if you give me something, give it to me, what do you mean by breaking it before I can say a few words?" ”

Zhao Baoxia was going to frame Mu Zhen, but who knew that she was beaten upside down, "Why don't you know what to do?" First broke the bracelet, and then slandered me, what did you have in mind? ”

Mu Zhen propped her head with one hand and said lazily: "Girl, don't think so high-minded, this bracelet is worth a lot of money at a glance, since the girl gave it to me, I can't even open the pot in the house now, will you not want this cheap pick-up?" ”

Zhao Baoxia didn't expect Mu Zhen to be so sharp-tongued, so she couldn't find anything to say for a while, so she pretended to be annoyed and ran out crying.

He Fulin's vision was blocked, and he didn't see what was going on. But only one day after he came back, his daughter-in-law was angry and cried twice, coupled with Mu Zhen's "criminal record", He Fulin of course chose to believe in his daughter-in-law.

looked at Mu Zhen angrily, flicked his robe, and said, "I don't know what to do" and strode out.
