Zhao Xiu had a really lively year.

Not to mention that since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, the clansmen who have not stopped coming to the door to greet the New Year, as well as those relatives and friends who have turned the corner, neighbors who live nearby, and some people in the county have rushed to visit their Zhao family for the New Year. is a little different from the previous flattery of her and her grandmother Zhang, this time the object of their flattery has become Zhao Wei. This is the Jiannanhou of the Eight Classics! He also came back to his hometown as a messenger to inspect it. To please him, the benefits are needless to say.

Identity changed, Zhao Wei was hospitable at this time, and his attitude was different from the past. In the past, he was a junior and a young student, and when a guest came, he had to greet him respectfully and politely. He also needed to come over to meet the ladies who came to talk to his grandmother, Zhang, and put up with them judging him. But now, there is no one with a higher status than him in Manfengxian County, he just sits at home and has to be visited by others, even if he has a reserved attitude, no one dares to say that he is arrogant and rude. As for those female dependents, if they are close to others, he can come over to say hello, if they have a mediocre relationship, he simply doesn't have to appear, and they only have good things to say about him, who dares to pick and choose from him?

Due to the large number of guests, the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhao family had to come forward to entertain the guests, and even the Shen family and Zhao Qingjie from the sect room next door were invited to come over to help greet the guests. Zhao Xiu sat in the small flower hall on the west side, and together with the mother and daughter of Shen and Zhao Qingjie, he accompanied several female elders of relatives and friends who were closer, as well as their daughters and nieces. Facing a little girl who has not come out of the cabinet, even if these ladies have their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, they are embarrassed to bring it up. The Shen family can't be the master of the second room. They can only focus on pleasing Zhao Xiu. Zhao Xiu doesn't have to make any effort, he just needs to watch other people's performances, which is easy.

And Zhao Wei greeted some male guests in the front yard. In addition to the fact that there are more people, everyone wants to desperately show themselves, in fact, he is quite relaxed, and he only needs to deal with one of the people with ulterior motives. But Zhang's is different.

Probably because Zhang's previous attitude towards those who promoted her daughters was cold, everyone guessed that she didn't like others to recommend mismatched daughters-in-law candidates for her excellent grandson, so she didn't dare to make a mistake today. Even if someone doesn't give up yet. will also choose a more euphemistic form, such as praising Zhao Wei first, and then saying that the Zhang family is blessed, and then mentioning it casually in the tone of his own family: "When will the little marquis marry his daughter-in-law." Give birth to a big fat grandson to the old lady, and the old lady will be even more blessed! ”

Zhang is indeed looking forward to this kind of future, but she has experienced the indiscriminate bombardment of everyone before, and was awakened by her granddaughter Zhao Xiu, and she has long been vigilant in her heart. It's not so easy to be coaxed. In the face of those temptations with ulterior motives, she just smiled and said, "Yes." "There's no follow-up. When the ladies saw that she didn't answer, they were also a little embarrassed, so they could only find some auspicious and pleasing topics by themselves, and flattered them without a word.

And a few people who have already given up on their daughters marrying into the Zhao family have begun to contribute to other people's families. Their own daughter is not worthy of Jiannanhou, but there are still people in Shanghai who are worthy of it. These people also think that Zhao Wei is a good candidate for the fast son-in-law of Dongbed, but it is a pity that he did not have a relationship with the Zhao family in the past, and it just so happens that some of his distant relatives or clansmen are related to the Zhao family. I condescended to ask these people to come forward to help with the item. So some people began to praise a girl born in a prestigious family in front of the Zhang family.

These girls are different from the previous ones, they are all from famous families in Jiangnan, and their fathers, grandfathers and uncles all have official positions or fame, and their official positions are not low. What is a scholar, a squire, a scholar...... has everything, the worst one, is also the daughter of the prefect, and there is a grandfather who is a high-ranking official of the third grade. These girls are not only from extraordinary backgrounds, but also knowledgeable and courteous, talented and beautiful, and have always been celebrities and ladies in the upper circle of Songhu. No matter which one of them. will not insult a marquis.

Zhang's heart was really moved this time. At this time, Zhao Xiu was not present, and no one else consulted for her, it was completely her own decision. These girls were originally unattainable before Zhao Wei attacked the knighthood. Although at that time he was also the grandson of the county prince. There is also a county duchess as a grandmother, but everyone knows that his family has lost power. How many of those high-ranking families will look up to their grandparents? Jiading, that is, the Fenyang Palace, because of the old friendship, can still give them a little thin noodles, and others disdain to take care of it. Even if Zhang thinks that his grandson is worthy of these girls. I never thought of going to the door to propose. She never imagined that one day, these girls would be placed in front of her grandson, and he would have to choose.

People in the world are really inflammatory, even if they are self-proclaimed noble scholars.

Zhang thought so in his heart.

Her heart is moving, but she hasn't forgotten her reason. Zhao Wei had already made an appointment with her, and he would go to Hangzhou in a few days and stay until the Lantern Festival before coming back. She didn't have time to talk to someone for the time being. Besides, now that someone recommended it to her, she has never seen other girls, let alone the meaning of the girl's family, and she has not asked her grandson's wishes, how can she decide on the family matter? After the New Year, her grandson's errand was officially completed, if King Guangping didn't return to Beijing so soon, it would not be too late for her to help her grandson see each other.

Zhang's attitude was reserved, but it didn't look like he was going to refuse. When those who were entrusted to come saw this, they also restrained a little. They are helping others to get together, not for their daughters to earn a future, so they have to be more disciplined. Those girls are really famous ladies, even if Jiannanhou is a very rare good marriage partner, they don't have to worry about not being able to get married. After this village, there is no more shop, but there are other shops waiting. If you rush too much, you will be looked down upon. A conversation can't represent anything, if the Duchess of Jiannan County really intended, there will naturally be a follow-up.

Everyone was reserved, and chatted with each other kindly, with some homely short, wind and snow, and the scene was indescribably harmonious. But in this piece of harmony, there is a small note that is not very harmonious - a certain lady brought her niece over, openly and secretly praising this girl, how virtuous, how excellent, obviously recommended to the Zhang family. This girl is not bad-looking, her words and deeds are impeccable, she talks elegantly, and she can see that she is very well educated. And her family background is also very good, is a famous local family in Jiading, her father is now a prefect somewhere in Jiangxi, her grandfather was a university scholar, her uncle was a waiter in Beijing, several of her brothers are famous, and her uncle's family is also an official family - this kind of condition, there is no need to sell in front of Zhang's in person, and it is so obvious that it is completely unreasonable!

Her aunt didn't seem to notice the sideways glances of the people around her, and she still praised her niece's appearance openly and secretly in front of Zhang. Zhang felt that something was wrong, and another wife, who was good friends with the aunt, whispered in her ear: "Her family is also a last resort, the children are all gone, but her grandmother is sick, and she doesn't know how long it can be delayed." If...... This child wants to keep filial piety, and it will be delayed for life. Her family is reluctant to give the child to a casual person, and now in this Songhu place, is there a better person than your little marquis? For the sake of the child, I had to put down my body. ”

It seems to be very difficult to say, but although Zhang's ears are soft and there are some principled things, she will not trust others: "Since her grandmother is so sick, she is not at her grandmother's bedside, and it is too much for her to come to me to pay a New Year's greeting to a stranger." Even if you are anxious about lifelong events, it should be handled by the elders. This girl is a little anxious, but I am afraid that she may not be able to get along with my grandson. In fact, this is to dislike the girl.

The lady smiled dryly and withdrew, and the girl's aunt's face changed. When normal people come to this job, they come from famous families, and they all have self-esteem, so it's time to retreat. But this aunt was very persevering, and she refused to give up, and continued to tell so-called stories in front of everyone, praising her niece. The latter was still thin-skinned, and when he heard everyone's criticism, he lowered his head, blushed, and didn't say a word, but he didn't mean to stop his aunt.

They finally returned from this day, and on the second day, another daughter of a relative or friend came to Zhang to promote the girl. Zhang was a little annoyed, thinking that this family was really faceless. is obviously a serious and high-ranking family, even if Zhao Wei has a marquis with him, they shouldn't put their stature so low. Could it be that there's something greasy here?

At dinner, Zhang mentioned it to Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu. Zhao Xiu immediately came to his senses: "What is the girl's surname?" How many lines are in the sisterhood? Coming out of the house? Is there something wrong? Otherwise, there is no reason? Do they still need to be so shameless in scheming a family business? ”

Zhang sighed: "I don't think that the girl may think so, it's just that the elders are in charge, and she can only follow orders." Several times I saw that the girl was so embarrassed that she could only blush, bow her head and not speak, which was really strange and pitiful. Her aunt didn't think about her either. ”

Zhao Wei asked Miss Ming's surname and father's name, and she knew it in her heart, and smiled: "Grandmother, don't pay attention to them, this family is not a good thing, don't let them in next time." Grandmother and sister just prepare their luggage and go to Hangzhou in a few days, and I will accompany you for a few days. ”

Zhang was taken aback: "What? Could it be that there is some conspiracy in this family? They don't mean to marry, but to calculate you? ”

Zhao Wei smiled: "It's not, it's just that I have a weak heart, and I just want to rely on nepotism to avoid trouble." I have heard of that girl, and her parents wanted to tell her to the prince of Guangping, but the prince said 'is keeping filial piety', and he pushed people back. Now that you've hit me with the idea again, I'm really unwilling. ”

This time it was Zhao Xiu's turn to be taken aback: "They still have the idea of beating the prince?" What is the reason? ”

Zhao Wei glanced at his sister and pretended to be profound: "Is this...... Now it's still a secret, and the prince told me not to leak it, and I can't tell my grandmother and sister. But you don't have to be anxious, after a while, this secret will no longer be a secret, and I will tell you more about it when the time comes. Now you have to deal with the people of his house. ”

The Zhang family immediately accepted this statement, only Zhao Xiu couldn't help but spit out: "What are you selling?" It must be the son of the world who taught my brother badly! (To be continued.) )
