Zhao Yan did so silently, but Aunt Xiaoqian raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao Ze, but quickly lowered her head again. Zhao Ze didn't think much about it, while instructing the old servant to go to the kitchen to make soup, and at the same time, he smiled and asked the neighbors who were watching outside the door to disperse, so that he had time to turn around and go into the house to listen to what Niu and Mrs. Nahuo were saying.

When he entered the house, Niu's face had already drooped, and he said to Mrs. Huo with a sneer: "Since Brother-in-law Ling is so timid, don't take care of it in the first place." I want the good reputation of the imperial history, but I don't want to upset the nobles, how can there be such a cheap good thing in the world? ”

Mrs. Huo's face was not very good-looking: "Now the emperor is unhappy, is this comparable to other nobles?" No matter who participates, the emperor has spoken, who is still entangled with eyes? Besides, the emperor knows everything about the old lady's mansion, and he doesn't think much of your actions, with my brother-in-law's style, where can he have the face to say good things for you? Don't you say that you reflect on your inaction and let outsiders know, but blame my brother-in-law? I advise you to dissipate your anger and live in peace. The emperor is just disgusted with you now, and he doesn't care about you, if one day he thinks that you have done too much, and a will comes down, can you still have a good life? ”

Niu Shi was stunned and glared at her fiercely.

Zhao Ze already understood what was going on in his heart, he withdrew from the house, sighed, and decided not to go into the house to ask for it. He turned around to find Lao Zhangtou and asked Lao Zhangtou to invite the doctor in the nearby pharmacy to see Aunt Xiao Qian.

In Zhao Yan's house, Aunt Xiao Qian had simply freshened up, and a bowl of rice soup was sent from the kitchen, and the rich rice fragrance made people smell their index fingers. The old servant who delivered the soup said, "Auntie drink it first, although this thing is light, it can nourish the body." I'm afraid that my aunt will be hungry on the road and suddenly eat too much, which will not be good for her health. Brother Ze has already asked the doctor to go, and when the doctor comes, he will check the pulse of his aunt, and then ask the doctor what tomes he should do for his aunt. ”

Aunt Xiao Qian said lightly: "I know, you can go down." The tone was a little colder.

The old servant didn't hear it right, so he didn't say much, and withdrew. Zhao Yan looked at his biological mother with some hesitation: "Mother? "Although their mother and son have always been at odds with their sons-in-law, he was able to redeem his biological mother, and Zhao Ze's funding helped a lot, not to mention that it was thanks to Zhao Ze that their mother and son were able to live smoothly, why was the biological mother still so cold?

Aunt Xiaoqian said to him with hatred: "Zhao Ze killed your own brother Brother Hong back then, this hatred, even if he loses his life, I can't forget it." No matter how much he does for us now, he should do it, but to atone for his own sins. Don't let him soften your hearts because of his little favors. The revenge of killing your brother is not shared, you must remember it firmly! ”

Zhao Yan and Zhao Man glanced at each other, lowered their heads and whispered. Aunt Xiao Qian was worried about her youngest son again: "My poor brother Yan'er, I don't know how much I have suffered by your grandmother's side. How can we get him out? ”

Zhao Yan said in a low voice: "Don't worry, mother, my son knows it." Now that he is sick, let's endure it for a while, and heal our illness here, and my son will take the opportunity to get some money. When my mother's illness is cured, we will leave the others behind and leave the capital with my brother in my arms. The world is big, as long as there is silver, where can you not beg for a living? My son will never let anyone else bully you again! ”

Aunt Xiao Qian was moved to take her son's hand and shed tears. Zhao Man was also full of excitement. My brother and biological mother are back, she is no longer a helpless little pitiful, in the future, they will leave their grandmother and sister-in-law and live on their own, she no longer has to be afraid of Niu and Zhao Xiang! The idea thrilled her.

Zhao Yan fed his biological mother a bowl of rice soup, and saw that her complexion was better, but her stomach was still growling, so he said, "There must be rice soup in the kitchen, and my son will scoop another bowl for you." ”

Zhao Man hurriedly said: "Brother scoop the soup from that black clay pot." It was the chicken soup that the grandmother specially asked the girl to boil, ready to eat at night, using two tender hens, and putting some ginseng whiskers down, which was the most replenishing for the body, and it was just right for the mother to drink. ”

Zhao Yan smiled when he heard it: "Okay." "He's angry with his grandmother and he's happy to take advantage of her.

Sure enough, he went to the kitchen and drove out the girl who came to stop her. He sneered and said to the girl, "Don't think that if you have an old lady and a big girl to support you, you can throw your face at me." You're just a bought girl. There will always be times when the old lady is too old to take care of things, and there will always be a time when the eldest girl will get married, unless you are sure to marry her and follow her, you will always fall into my hands one day. ”

That girl is one of Niu's personal rings, and she knows that even if Zhao Xiang wants to marry a dowry girl, it is impossible to take her, so after a little hesitation, she retreated. Zhao Ze is becoming more and more unpopular with the Niu family now, this Zhao Yan is a powerful person, she still doesn't want to be absolutely good. Leave three points of affection, and maybe you can get some benefits in the future.

Zhao Man stood at the door of the room from afar, and when he saw that his brother had won the hand, he also said that the girl who had always had eyes on the top of his head was discouraged, not to mention how happy he was. She jumped out of the house to pick up her brother, but as soon as the bamboo curtain in the main room was lifted, Niu's sent Mrs. Huo out.

I don't know what they said, but they were still angry, but now their faces have changed a lot. Niu said to Mrs. Huo: "Although it can't be done, our two families help each other, and the relationship is different from other families, don't be separated because of this little thing, and we will have to come and go often in the future." Then he lowered his voice again: "The children are still young, if they are decided at this time, I am afraid that they will be embarrassed to meet each other." It's better to get married after two years, so that when they meet on weekdays, they can have fewer scruples. Your brother is just concentrating on his career, and he doesn't have to be distracted by other things. ”

Mrs. Huo calmed down a lot and nodded with a smile. In fact, she didn't want to get married to this marriage for a long time, but Niu's attitude was sincere, and what she said was reasonable, she thought about it and felt that Hengzhi had not decided to marry, as long as Niu's no longer stared at Jiannanhou Mansion, it would make the nobles angry and cause disasters, and it would be nothing to continue to interact with his family. If she refuses categorically, she is afraid that Niu's will be sprinkled, where can she resist? Next year, their mother and son went to join their sister-in-law and brother-in-law, and broke off contact with the Zhao family, and the marriage was naturally abandoned.

Niu didn't know what Mrs. Huo thought, and said with a smile: "The incident before made Feng Yushi tired, and I don't want to go." I don't know when Mrs. Feng will be free? I took my children to the door to thank me personally, which also meant to make amends. ”

Mrs. Huo said that it was not necessary, but Niu insisted, so she had to say: "Next time my eldest sister comes, I asked her, and then I will give you the right words." Niu smiled and agreed.

There was a sudden movement in the kitchen, and Niu followed the reputation and found that it was Zhao Yan who was secretly scooping the ginseng chicken soup she was going to drink at night, and the old lady who smiled kindly suddenly turned into a dominatrix: "Evil obstacles!" What are you doing? Mrs. Huo was taken aback.

Niu didn't realize it, seeing that Zhao Yan didn't take his words to heart at all, and then turned his head and saw Aunt Xiao Qian lying in Zhao Yan's house, she was even more angry, she casually beckoned Zhao Man: "Send Mrs. Huo for me." So he lifted his skirt and called the girl to rush to the kitchen to teach his grandson.

Mrs. Huo quickly decided to leave, and the Zhao family's ancestor and grandson farce didn't know how long it would take. She said to go, called her little girl, and ignored Zhao Man, but Zhao Man quickly woke up, knowing that her brother had a way to deal with her grandmother, as long as her brother was at home, she was not afraid that her grandmother would drive her biological mother out of the door, but grandmother was so hateful, she had to think of a way to get angry. As soon as her eyes rolled, she followed Mrs. Huo and sent the other party's master and servant out with a smile.

When she was far away from the gate of her own yard, Mrs. Huo asked Zhao Man to turn around: "You are a little girl, how can you do such a thing?" I've got someone waiting here, so go back." ”

Zhao Man said to her softly: "Mrs. Huo, I have something to ask you. ”

Mrs. Huo was puzzled: "What's the matter?" He didn't want to ask more. She really didn't want to meddle with the Zhao family's affairs.

Zhao Man made a twisted look and said, "Grandmother said to me that she wants to give me to your son, I don't know what it's like to get married, but if I really marry your son, can you let me bring my aunt over?" You can see that my grandmother can't tolerate my aunt. After all, she gave birth to me, my grandmother was in prison for a long time, and then she died, and it was my aunt who raised me. I want to be more filial to her. ”

Mrs. Huo was stunned. Although she dismissed the idea of being a relative, when she originally said that she was married to the Niu family, she made it very clear that it was Zhao Xiang, the daughter of the Zhao family, who wanted to be decided, how did she become the concubine Zhao Man? Even if the Huo family is down now, it is half a catty and eight taels with the Zhao family, on an equal footing, why should she marry a concubine of a criminal family?

She hurriedly asked Zhao Man: "Did you hear it wrong?" I was going to hire your sister. ”

Zhao Man blinked: "I'm not mistaken, it's my grandmother who said it." My sister is a concubine, and she is good-looking, and in the past, the concubine of King Ying almost recognized her as her goddaughter, and wanted to marry her into a wealthy family. Although our family is not as good as before, it is also the blood of the prince of Jiannan County, how could my grandmother marry my sister to your family? She had already said that if she was the son of the Feng Yushi family, she would still be worthy of her sister. If you want to marry your son, it is enough to take me on top. It's just that I can't say it now, until my sister and the son of the Feng Yushi family have made a marriage affair, so that I can mention my marriage to Ling Lang. ”

Mrs. Huo trembled with anger. This is simply naked deception and humiliation! No wonder the Niu family refused to marry now, and took the initiative to take the child to the Feng family to thank him, I am afraid that he just wants to borrow the power of her Huo family to go to the eldest sister's family. The nephew of the Feng family is good looking, talented, and learning, and everyone in the family is looking forward to him having a good future in the future, how can he marry the daughter of a criminal official? Niu and Zhao Xiang wanted to eat swan meat, but they deceived her mother and son. Poor her good brother, if it weren't for his father's involvement, he would be no worse than the Feng family's nephew. Zhao Xiang pretended to be very serious, but in fact, he had a crooked mind, and he actually had the face to dislike a good brother. If it weren't for the Niu family that provoked her thoughts, she wouldn't have thought of marrying Zhao Xiang as her son's daughter-in-law, how did she know that the Niu family had been calculating them all along! If this revenge is not avenged, she will be a mother in vain!

Mrs. Huo was furious, and Zhao Man still looked innocent and ignorant, making it seem more and more that she was just young and ignorant, and she was worried about her biological mother, so she inadvertently revealed her grandmother's secret. Mrs. Huo turned around angrily and left, Zhao Manmu sent her away, the expression on her face gradually settled, and she snorted coldly.

In the courtyard of the Zhao family, the sound of Niu's scolding Zhao Yan's mother and son was endless, and Zhao Xiang also interjected two sentences from time to time to add fuel to the fire, and Zhao Ze persuaded him to make peace, but no one listened. Zhao Man looked at this situation from a distance and smiled proudly.

is different from the situation of Zhao Ze's family, but at this moment, the Zhao family's two-bedroom small house is harmonious.

The three ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family welcomed Zhao Qixuan and his party, and they were very happy. After seeing each other, Zhang asked Wang Fulai to bring all the shopkeepers of the six rooms to dinner, and then called Zhao Qixuan's family to the upper room of the main courtyard.

Zhang asked Zhao Qixuan if the journey could be smooth, Zhao Qixuan answered one by one, when to set off, where to pass by, how many days to stay in the local area, what unique goods to buy, where to meet the wind and rain, delayed the trip, and where to meet the old people, a little gathering, and also mentioned that when they arrived in Shandong, they also went to visit Zhao Yuanniang, the aunt of the second room of the Zhao family, and was entertained by her to rest at home for a day, before setting off again, and then went all the way to the capital.

Zhang smiled and said, "In this way, you are luckier than me. When I went to Beijing, I encountered several storms on the way, so I had to go ashore and stay in an inn for a few days. No wonder you left only a few days later than me, and the ship was slower, but you didn't enter Beijing a few days later than me. ”

Zhao Qixuan said with a smile: "The nephew and grandson have been looking forward to entering Beijing for a long time, and the two children are also thinking about seeing how prosperous the capital is." The nephew and grandson thought that the uncle and grandmother had to renovate the Hou Mansion and move again, so everything must be chaotic and they urgently needed money. If the nephew arrives in Beijing as soon as possible, he can also share the worries of his uncle and grandmother and brother Wei, so he does not dare to delay along the way. ”

Zhao Wei smiled: "Brother Qixuan came just in time. At present, we have just gone to see the old marquis's mansion, and the regulations for renovation have not yet been decided, and there are a few shops and granges that have been returned, all of which need to be carefully taken care of before deciding what to do. If the clansmen want to go to Beijing to do business, those shops can be used. It costs a lot to repair the house, and although the family has some silver, it is not enough to sit on the empty side, and it is good to add some income to the property. I have to discuss these things with Brother Qixuan. I'm young, I don't know anything, and I need more guidance from my brother. ”

Zhao Qixuan was a little flattered, and hurriedly waved his hands: "Don't dare to be, if the little marquis has any orders, just open your mouth." As long as Zhao Qixuan can do it, he will do his best to do it. ”

Zhang smiled and said: "They are all their own brothers, what is the name of the little marquis?" It's divided. Just get along like you used to. ”

Zhao Qixuan smiled and cautiously agreed.

Mother Lu entered the door with a smile: "Old lady, the meal is ready, is it going to start immediately?" ”

Zhang hurriedly said: "Hurry up and bring it up, after a long day's journey, they must all be hungry." He smiled and said to Zhao Qixuan and Ma: "If there is anything, there is no need to rush for a while." Let's eat first, and after eating, I'll ask someone to take you to the rented courtyard to rest, which is only a few steps away from here, and all the products are ready. You go over and settle down first, and tomorrow you will take a walk around the capital. We'll get down to business the day after tomorrow. ”

Everyone smiled and agreed, and moved to the dinner table. Zhao Xiu looked at the void, quietly pulled Zhao Qixuan, and asked him in a low voice: "Brother Qixuan, how happened to Mrs. Wells's fleet after returning to Nanhui?" ”RS
