Chapter 509: Desire

Zhang's felt sorry for his granddaughter, and when he saw that she had finally returned to his side, he didn't allow her to go out, and detained her to recuperate at home. When he saw that half of the flesh on her face had returned, and her complexion was not as dark as when she first came back, Zhang was willing to let her go out.

Zhao Xiu has been detained for more than ten days, and he has long been a little impatient. Although it is easy to practice drawing every day, her mind is not on painting now. How is the charity disaster relief program led by the King of Guangping and the Princess of Fenyang going? Are the victims doing well? Has the relief from the imperial court been in place? She wanted to know. I also heard that there are several big families in Jiading who were implicated in the dam case, and it was later revealed that they had colluded with King Ying, and they were already copied, and all the old and young families were sentenced to exile, and they were able to save their lives, which was already the emperor's grace.

The subordinates of the Zhao family are also discussing, some people go to the street to buy, encounter officers and soldiers to raid the house, or the slaves and maids of these large families are sold by the government on the street, and there are many people watching the beauties among them, and so on. Everyone wanted to see the excitement, but because of Zhang's restraint, Zhao Xiu was stern and didn't dare to move lightly. Someone finally got a fake, so he rushed to open his eyes, and when he came back, no one didn't say that the girls who were sold were good-looking, and some people were moved to buy a daughter-in-law, but they were not free to do so, so they didn't dare to hide from the master's family. However, Zhao You was a little maid sent by his mother-in-law, who encouraged him to buy one and come back as a maid ring envoy, so that he didn't have to worry about everything to the elders in the second room, at least there was someone in the room who served tea and poured water, stacked and made beds.

Zhao You ignored it.

Where can't I buy a girl? Those people are all from the official family, God knows what is involved? He's just a small person. There are two rooms of great-uncle and grandmother and uncles and aunts to take care of, so as not to stir up the troubled waters.

Zhang knew about it and praised him twice. He ordered the little guy to be sent away, and ordered him to return to Fengxian to deliver the letter, but informed Zhao You's father, Zhao Jue, to send another honest little guy over, and then sent an eleven or twelve-year-old girl to wait for Zhao You's living, and asked someone to make him new clothes, ready to go out to socialize. Zhao You was grateful in his heart, and became more respectful to the second room.

Gao Zhen knew that Zhao Xiu's ancestors and grandsons now took a fancy to this nephew. and had the heart to lift him up. He went in and out of the various clans in Jiading several times, or went out on errands on the orders of his father, as long as he could bring people. will call him up, which can be regarded as letting him see the world and practice his ability to deal with people. Zhao You is not a servant of the Jiannan Hou Mansion, but a serious young master of the clan. Later, I went to Kyochu. It is to go out to socialize on behalf of the Hou Mansion and make an arm with Zhao Wei. There are many high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing, and there are many snobbery, if he is restrained, it is easy for people to look down on him, and he also loses face to the Hou Mansion. Taking advantage of the fact that he is now in Jiading, there are also high-ranking officials and nobles here, but they dare not make ghosts in front of the Guangping Palace. Just let Zhao You experience some practice. When he got used to the practice of interacting with those noble children on an equal footing, he went to Beijing. can also be like a fish in water, and no one will despise him.

Zhao You knew that Gao Zhen intended to lift himself up, and he was very grateful. Now that Gao Zhen has won the letter of his father, he has already regarded Zhao Xiu as his future wife, and treats Zhao You as if he were his own son and nephew, and his words can't help but reveal a little bit. Zhao You is a clever person, and he was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this should be no longer enough, and seeing that the Zhang family was also very close to Gao Zhen, he couldn't help but meet Zhao Xiu, which showed that the two families had a tacit understanding. In the future, when the marriage is completed, Gao Zhen will be his uncle, and he will no longer be an outsider.

Zhao You knew it in his heart, and when Gao Zhen became more and more respectful and convinced, he would occasionally help him pass a message and hand him some gadgets. Zhang opened one eye and closed one eye, and Zhao Xiu simply threw away his scruples. If you have made any clothes, let Zhao You hand them over. Gao Zhen got something new, and he became more and more happy, and he couldn't wait to go back to the capital immediately, and gave the emperor's grandmother, and her old man hurriedly made the decision and set a family affair for him.

The proximity of the Guangping Mansion to the Jiannan Marquis Mansion is a well-known thing. However, when the two families were close to the point that the son of one family traveled with the daughter of the other, the elders of the two families could let them go, and those who knew it would naturally be surprised. In the circle of the royal family in Jiading, there are also various discussions about this matter. Some people say that this is unruly and suspicious of personal affairs; Someone asked, could it be that these two families had already agreed to marry? Some people saw Gao Zhenfeng handsome, and thought that there was a daughter of the same age and appearance among his relatives, and he intended to be a big matchmaker; Some people also thought that Zhao Wei, the Marquis of Jiannan, was young and promising, and the holy family was long, wouldn't he be a good candidate for a son-in-law? It's just that few people take a fancy to Zhao Xiu and want to tell their nephews.

First, it is difficult to say whether Zhao Xiu and Gao Zhen have a personal relationship, the two elders don't care, maybe they have a tacit understanding, and sooner or later they will have to be married, and at this time to propose marriage is to slap the face of Guangping Palace; The second is that Zhao Xiu's methods in the past month or so are admirable, but they are inevitably too powerful, and hard-hearted. As a mother, she naturally wants her future daughter-in-law to be capable and can help her son support the family business, but she is too powerful, so she is afraid that she will control her son and make her mother-in-law empty. So they just praised Miss Zhao's ability, but they never thought of marrying this capable girl back as a daughter-in-law.

On the contrary, the daughters of each family were very curious about Zhao Xiu, and when they saw that she had settled down in Jiading, they found a name to invite her to come over as a guest, what Qixi Festival, Bon Festival, or which person had a birthday, there were any reasons. The victims of the disaster along the coast are still homeless, and they have to rely on relief for three meals a day, and large and small banquets have been set up in the gate of the rich mansion in Jiading. Everyone eats, drinks and has fun, and as always, when it comes to disaster relief, sighs and continues to have fun. They don't think there's anything wrong with that, even if there is a disaster elsewhere, won't they still have to live?

Zhao Xiu is impatient to go to this kind of occasion now, either to say that there is something wrong with the princess of Fenyang, or to say that she is sick and can't go. But other families can push it, but the princess of Fenyang called her, but she couldn't push it, so she had to follow the Zhang family to the house.

She was playing with the little girls in the women's table. The little girls were still innocent and kind-hearted, and when they asked her about the situation of the victims, they would shed two tears, and some people wanted to take off the bracelet on the spot and say that they would donate it. completely shattered her image of being "hard-hearted". The little girls all said that she was very kind, and occasionally a lady made fun of her, and they stopped at first. I need to help argue a little. knew that she and Gao Zhen were likely to get married, and they all said that it was great to have such a kind and kind sister-in-law.

Someone else said: "The cousin of Guangping Wangfu is very fierce, and a kind person like Sister Zhao, if he really marries him, it will be a waste." ”

When the words reached Gao Zhen's ears, he didn't know whether to be angry or happy.

However, Zhao Xiu formed a good relationship in the clan before he passed the door. That's a good result. Gao Zhen was depressed for a night, and the next day he sent someone to send a few baskets of fresh fruits to the various clans' mansions for his cousins to try. provoked these sect girls to discuss in private: "Could it be that they are currying favor with us?" Do we think he is not worthy of Sister Zhao? A young one giggled: "Su Ri looks at Cousin Zhen's murder." It turns out that he is such a person, and he used to be deceived by his cold face! ”

The days passed, and at the end of July, there was another will in Beijing. This time, it was to go back to King Xuan Guangping. Father-in-law Luo privately persuaded King Guangping: "The Queen Mother and the Emperor heard that the prince's eyes have improved. I couldn't sit still, I was so happy that I was worried that there were many people in Jiading, and the prince couldn't recuperate with peace of mind, so I specially asked the prince to go back to Beijing to treat. The prince just rest assured, the doctor he used before just took it, and the emperor specially ordered Imperial Doctor Jiang to help, and told the others in the hospital not to get in the way. What kind of medicine is the prince going to use? Just tell me what I want. ”

King Guangping raised his eyebrows: "Oh? The Queen Mother and the Emperor both ordered this? ”

Grandpa Luo laughed: "Isn't it?" The Queen Mother was so anxious that she couldn't even eat. I look forward to seeing the prince as much as possible. The emperor said that this year's New Year is already spent outside, and next year's Chinese New Year's Eve, why should the family sit together for a reunion dinner. ”

King Guangping slowed down his expression: "In that case, then I will go back earlier." The affairs here were originally watched by Brother Wang of Fenyang, and I have nothing to worry about. ”

Luo Gonggong was overjoyed, and hurriedly went down to order people to prepare, and reported to Beijing, and sent people to dot along the road.

King Guangping was about to return to Beijing, and Zhao Xiu and Zhang's got the letter after a while. Naturally, they also want to go back, but before they go back, they have to go back to their hometown, take care of some affairs, and then say goodbye to relatives and friends. Due to the tidal disaster, they stayed in Jiading for many days. If you weren't worried about the inconvenience on the road, you might have already gone back by now. But the King of Quang Binh was about to set off, and they couldn't delay it any longer.

Zhao Xiu accompanied Zhang's family, took Zhao You and others back to Fengxian, and when they saw everyone who should be seen, and the affairs of the cooking were also taken care of, they had to go north and return to Beijing. I don't know how many years it will be before I have the opportunity to come back. Everyone in the clan is very reluctant, but thinking that many of their children have made a name for themselves, they may have to enter Beijing to take the exam in the future, and they will not be so sad when they meet.

Zhao Kun, the son of the old lady with three rooms and eight rooms, is going to take his eldest grandson Zhao Mu into Beijing this time. He was entrusted by the Zhang family to preside over the affairs of the Mingzhi Library, and he took his grandson to guide him from time to time. As for his son Zhao Min, he stayed in his hometown to serve his grandfather and continued to study hard to prepare for the exam. Now that he is going to try, he will have to try again.

The Zhang family also sent a letter to Hangzhou to inform the Mi family. The Mi family has been thinking about it for so long, and they don't know how to discuss it with other owners, can they have a stepson? When will the family have a letter? It's not that the Zhang family is in a hurry, this time when he returns to Beijing, Zhao Wei's family affairs must have a result. If the Mi family can't make a decision, she can't let her grandson wait forever.

Just when the Zhang family was waiting for the Mi family to reply, a guest suddenly came to Zhao Xiu's place, but it was Zhao Yuan, the son of Zhao Jing, the son of the Changfang sect. Zhao Xiu thought he was speaking for his parents, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" But what was missing from the feast of the Ming'er family? ”

Zhao Yuan shook his head and glanced at the mother-in-law and girls in the house. Zhao Xiu felt strange in his heart and gave Liu Lu a look. Liu Lu made a gesture, and the others in the room retreated, but she stood firmly behind Zhao Xiu by herself.

She is Zhao Xiu's confidant, and Zhao Yuan does not avoid her, so he walked straight to Zhao Xiu's side, lowered his voice and said: "In the past, Zhao Yan from the small second room came to look for his nephew, and when the nephew looked at him, he seemed to be very depressed, as if he had also suffered a disaster. He wanted to ask to see his nephew's father, but his nephew didn't dare to make the decision, so he thought about suing Aunt SΓΉ first. ”

Zhao Xiu raised an eyebrow. (To be continued......)
