Zhao Ruxi came to the He family, since the father and son of the He family regarded her as a character and treated her seriously, and she came on behalf of the Zhao family, the two families might be able to become relatives in the future, so she planned to show her hand and not let people look down on her.

She no longer regarded herself as He Yuqi's best friend, but took up the shelf of the non-commissioned officer.

She followed Master He's invitation, went to the hall of He's house, exchanged a few words of greeting, and answered some of their questions about further education and learning.

At the beginning, although the father and son of the He family were respectful on the surface, they still had doubts about Zhao Ruxi winning the name of the champion, and always felt that the emperor liked Zhao Zhiwei's paintings and calligraphy, and wanted the world not to look down on women, so he named her the champion.

can listen to Zhao Ruxi's four books and five classics, talk eloquently, have a lot of insight, indeed have real talent and learning, and the talent is extremely high, better than the Jinshi they have contacted in the past, I can't help but be convinced, and my attitude towards her is more and more respectful.

Seeing this, Zhao Ruxi finally put away Wang Ba's anger with satisfaction, and said to Master He: "Ling Ai and I had a good relationship when we were in Beining Academy, and we were best friends. Because I am about to leave Beijing to take up my post, I am reluctant to give up my friends, so I came here today to say goodbye. I wonder if I can talk to her alone? ”

Master He wished that his daughter could have a good relationship with Zhao Ruxi. Hearing this, they naturally agreed.

"It is an honor for the little girl to be able to enter Zhao Zhuangyuan's blue eyes. It's just that the family is simple, and there are few rules. If there is anything to be done slowly, please also ask Zhao Zhuangyuan Haihan. Master He said a few polite words, and then asked Wang and He Yuqi to lead Zhao Ruxi into the inner courtyard.

After entering He Yuqi's courtyard, when Wang left, He Yuqi asked Zhao Ruxi curiously: "Are you...... Uh, why did Zhao Zhuangyuan remember that my family was looking for me? ”

Others don't know the inside story, but she knows in her heart that her friendship with Zhao Ruxi is not deep. Zhao Ruxi has the grace of reinvention for her, but for Zhao Ruxi, she is just an ordinary classmate, and she is just a pitiful person who needs her help.

Zhao Ruxi glanced at her first: "Call me to know the subtleties." ”

She continued, "I have come to ask you something. ”

"What?" He Yuqi asked curiously.

saw that his identity and status had changed, but in addition to more and more respect and admiration in He Yuqi's eyes, there was no flattery or stammering. The attitude towards her is the same as before.

Zhao Ruxi is becoming more and more satisfied with her personality.

She is not a person who likes to turn around, and asked directly: "I heard Cui Fuzi say, you have gone home to get married, why don't you do it now?" ”

Although He Yuqi didn't understand why Zhao Ruxi cared about this issue, she still replied honestly: "My father and mother have arranged several family affairs for me, but I am not satisfied. ”

She raised her head suddenly and looked at Zhao Ruxi's eyes sparkling: "Didn't you come today to give me Zhang Luo's family?" ”

Her intelligence and sensitivity made Zhao Ruxi more and more recognized and appreciated.

She laughed twice and said, "Yes." ”

He Yuqi's eyes brightened more and more.

"Who is it?" she asked. "Who is worthy of Zhao Ruxi's special trip?

"My cousin."

Zhao Ruxi said, and told Zhao Jingli and the big house and the second room as it was, including the wrong child and the Zhu family's concern for Zhao Jingli, the dispute between the concubines in the second room and the uneasy brothers and sisters, the existing property in the second room, etc., she told the truth.

"That's the way it is. Think about it, don't you want this family affair? Marrying into such a family is a lot of trouble; But I understand my eldest brother, he will not object to you going out to do things, and my second uncle will not interfere. ”

She stood up: "You don't have to answer me in a hurry, think about it carefully, and discuss it with your parents." In addition, if you don't agree to family affairs, don't look at me. My face is not big, and I can't be trusted, really, I'm most afraid of trouble. Even if you become my cousin-in-law in the future, I won't be able to help you much. ”

He Yuqi originally wanted to tell Zhao Ruxi directly about her thoughts on this matter, but when she heard Zhao Ruxi say that she wanted to "discuss with her parents", she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

"Okay, I'll think about it." She nodded.

"It's getting late, so I'll go back." After saying something, Zhao Ruxi said goodbye in a hurry.

After going out and being polite to the Wang family and the He family's father and son for a while, Zhao Ruxi left the He family.

When he returned home, Master He asked his daughter curiously: "Yuqi, did Zhao Zhuangyuan really come to say goodbye to you?" Why haven't I heard you say before that you have a good relationship with Zhao Zhuangyuan? ”

"It's not. She came to propose to me on behalf of her cousin. He Yuqi didn't hide it, and told her parents and brothers what Zhao Ruxi told her.

can let her go to Bac Ninh Girls' College to study, and let her go to the newspaper to do things; Now that the couple is fancy to the family affairs, the daughter vetoed it, and they didn't force it, it can be seen from here that in fact, Master He still loves his daughter very much.

It's just that he has the old idea that it is useless for women to study, and he only needs to wait for him to marry and teach his children when he is older, and he has completed his life's mission, and he is biased in the education of his children.

And He Yuqi has a strong nature, she studied with her brother when she was a child, obviously she is smarter, but in the end, it is always her brother who is valued by her father; Her brother's qualifications are not as good as her, but her father spent a lot of money to hire a famous teacher to teach, and he was forced to be admitted to Xiucai. And she wanted to go to Bac Ninh Girls' Academy to study, but her father didn't agree.

She was not angry in her heart, and this led to extremely serious contradictions and disagreements.

This time, when he heard how complicated the situation of Zhao Jingli's family was, he couldn't help frowning and asked his wife, "What do you think?" ”

Wang is a woman with ideas and knowledge, so she used her private room to support her daughter to study, and supported her daughter to show up to work in the newspaper. He Yuqi is so self-reliant and self-reliant, which is inseparable from her mother's education.

As soon as Wang heard his daughter say that Zhao Jingli would not confine a woman in the back house, and would let her go outside to do things, he knew his daughter's thoughts. Originally, she and her husband gave their daughter Zhang Luo's family affairs, and there were also a few good ones. But in such a family, as soon as they heard it, they knew that they would definitely not be able to go outside to do things after they got married, so their daughter refused as soon as they heard it.

She ignored her husband and asked He Yuqi, "What do you think yourself?" ”

"I ......" He Yuqi glanced at his father, lowered his head and said, "I think this family business is okay." ”

He Zhi also loves his sister, and he also understands his sister's thoughts.

He frowned and said, "Won't they be too complicated?" When you go in to be the eldest daughter-in-law and sister-in-law, you have a lot of things to worry about, and there are many trivial things every day. Once there is a problem at home, will Second Master Zhao and Zhao Jingli still support you to go out and do things? Even if they support you, you have to do things outside and take care of the house, where can you be busy? You have to think about this family matter. ”
