Chapter 30: The Big Lady's Hidden Thoughts
Zhao Tingshan couldn't help but have a headache again, Li Junze and Gu Chenfeng were already rare excellent teenagers, and his daughters couldn't even look down on them, what kind of vision did they have to be? How will I find her in-laws in the future?
Originally, he was worried that Zhao Siyan would fall in love with Li Junze and Gu Chenfeng, and he felt embarrassed, but now that Zhao Siyan didn't take a fancy to anyone, he felt even more difficult.
He can't help but marry his daughter, right?
Thinking of this, Zhao Tingshan looked at Zhao Siyan worriedly: "Girl, you told your father, have you ever thought about what your husband will be like in the future?" ”
Zhao Siyan was slightly surprised, "Dad, aren't we talking about business?" How to talk about this. ”
Zhao Tingshan is even more worried, other people's daughters, when they mention marriage, they are all blushing and shy, and when it comes to his daughter, it is not a serious matter at all, but a little impatient, how can this be good?
"Girl, you haven't taken a fancy to Shizi Ye and Gu Chenfeng, what do you have to like in the future?" Zhao Tingshan finally asked.
Zhao Siyan blinked, finally understood what he was worried about, and after thinking about it, she asked tentatively, "Then or, I have taken a fancy to them?" ”
"Don't don't, don't look at it." Zhao Tingshan hurriedly said.
After Zhao Tingshan finished speaking, he also found that he was contradicting himself, but it was not right, it was not right, Zhao Tingshan had a headache, and he couldn't help glaring at Zhao Siyan: "It's really troublesome to give birth to a daughter!" It's really hard to be someone's father. ”
Zhao Siyan spread his hands and said innocently: "I don't want to let you if I like you, I don't want to let you, it's clear that it's more difficult for me, okay?" It's not easy to be someone else's daughter! ”
Zhao Tingshan: "......"
Zhao Tingshan was speechless, and couldn't help glaring at her angrily.
Zhao Siyan hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "So Dad, after you go back, you should mention the matter of the Gu family to the prince without a trace, but don't mention it too much, the prince will understand." ”
Zhao Tingshan glanced at her, "Shiziye is such a shrewd person, of course he will understand," After a pause, he couldn't help but sigh: "This Gu family's vision is really good, don't you know, in the past few days, Shiziye has taken in a lot of people in the army, and even your grandfather has praised him, how old is he?" It's not even the crown, it's really terrifying. ”
Zhao Siyan secretly said in his heart, if he didn't have any skills, how could he make the emperor jealous of him?
However, even if Li Junze's methods are good, Zhao Siyan still didn't plan to let Zhao Tingshan completely get on the ship of Yiwangfu, she didn't forget her original intention, she just hoped that her parents and younger brothers could spend this life safely and happily, and would never let others calculate them again, Yiwangfu's plot was too big, and they were not all the way.
The two were talking, and the Liu family also came back with dry food, Zhao Tingshan was really leaving, and the Liu family and Zhao Siyan sent him out.
Zhao Tingshan glanced at Zhao Siyan deeply: "Take good care of your mother!" ”
Liu Shi glanced at him helplessly: "Yan'er is still a child, I should take care of and protect her, you don't have to worry about the family, everything has me!" ”
Zhao Tingshan secretly said in his heart, if he handed everything over to the Liu family, he was really not at ease, he had been married for many years, could he still not understand the Liu family's temperament? But now with Zhao Siyan, Zhao Tingshan is much more at ease.
Li Junze and Gu Chenfeng were both calculated by her, what else could she not do?
Thinking of this, Zhao Tingshan took the burden from Liu's hand, and finally turned around and strode away with confidence.
Liu and Zhao Siyan kept looking at his back until they couldn't see it, but Zhao Siyan thought in her heart that she would definitely protect this family well, and no one would be able to hurt them.
Zhao Siyan looked at the Liu family: "Mother, let's go back, Wen Xi should also come back." ”
Only then did Liu retract his gaze and nodded reluctantly.
Zhao Tingshan thought about Zhao Siyan's words, and returned to the barracks with a lot of heart, and as soon as he went back, he ran into He Qingshan.
He Qingshan and Zhao Tingshan are the same age, the two have similar personalities and temperaments, and they both have a mountain character in their names, so the relationship between the two is a little closer than others.
Since he abandoned literature and martial arts, his eldest brother Zhao Tingxu looked disdainful of being with him, so Zhao Tingshan really regarded He Qingshan as his own brother before.
But after listening to Zhao Siyan's words, although Zhao Tingshan would not completely alienate He Qingshan, he couldn't be as unshirkable as before.
When He Qingshan saw Zhao Tingshan, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pulled him aside to speak, with a sad face.
"After you go back, has your sister-in-law ever messed with you?" He Qingshan asked puzzled.
Zhao Tingshan raised his eyebrows and asked puzzledly, "What's the trouble?" ”
He Qingshan glanced at him: "What else could it be?" Shiziye, Shiziye's identity, that look, can people who see it not be moved? After a pause, he continued: "Between our brothers, I am not afraid of your jokes, our family has fallen in love with the prince and wants to marry the ice goose to him, but tell me, what is the identity of the prince?" I'm a general, where can I afford to climb high? But the ice geese also coaxed, I was really annoyed. ”
Zhao Tingshan glanced at him with a complicated expression, he thought, He Bingyan is a normal girl's reaction, right? Where is like his daughter, thinking about how to calculate the prince and seek the greatest benefit from him.
However, the girl's bothering to plan was also for him, looking at He Qingshan's sad face, Zhao Tingshan immediately became happy.
He patted He Qingshan's shoulder: "I want to open some, after all, it is my own daughter, otherwise I can strangle her?" ”
He Qingshan: "......"
He Qingshan was choked by him, and couldn't help but look at him with his eyes, and asked with a bad feeling: "The prince is so young and talented, I don't believe it, and my sister-in-law hasn't thought about it?" ”
In the end, it was an elder, and he didn't directly ask Zhao Siyan's attitude.
If it was before, Zhao Tingshan might have thought that he was asking casually, but after being beaten by his daughter, Zhao Tingshan understood that He Qingshan was here to spy on his attitude towards the Liu family, and he was worried that he also had the intention of marrying the prince.
Zhao Tingshan said heartlessly: "Your sister-in-law and I were also worried, but I couldn't stand the words that she didn't want to, the words said, the prince has countless confidants, so many talented and beautiful people are devoted to the prince, so she won't join in the fun." ”
He said that Zhao Siyan felt that he was not worthy of the prince, but the satisfied and arrogant expression on his face was not like that, it was completely a kind of demention that his daughter could not look down on the prince.
He Qingshan felt depressed again, his gaze fell behind Zhao Tingshan, and his eyes froze: "Lord Shizi!" ”
Zhao Tingshan stiffened, then turned around and looked at Li Junze with a smile: "I've seen the prince!" ”
Li Junze is wearing a cyan robe, which is not a very expensive material, but there is a sense of nobility when worn on him, which is probably a model of looking like a prince without wearing a dragon robe, right?
Zhao Tingshan sighed in his heart, but why didn't his daughter look down on it?
Zhao Tingshan was thinking nonsense here, and he heard Li Junze's cold voice: "What did the two adults say?" I sound, it seems to be related to me? ”
He Qingshan and Zhao Tingshan glanced at each other, and He Qingshan said: "It's nothing, it's just chatting about some homely things." ”
Li Junze raised his eyebrows, and those deep eyes fell on He Qingshan's body: "Really? Why is it that Lord He's family life has something to do with me again? ”
He Qingshan touched his nose and said secretly in his heart, the ears of the prince in this world are quite good.
He Qingshan was thinking about how to talk back to Li Junze, when he heard Zhao Tingshan say with a big grin: "Oh, it's nothing, the two of us are discussing who is blessed to be the father-in-law of the prince!" ”
He Qingshan: "......"
Li Junze: "......"
The two of them looked at him in unison, and Zhao Tingshan was furious when they saw it.
The corners of Li Junze's mouth hooked, revealing a shallow smile, looking at Zhao Tingshan, and his tone was seductive: "Then I don't know if Lord Zhao discussed with Lord He and what the result was?" ”
Zhao Tingshan sold his daughter without hesitation, he smiled toothlessly, and his tone was pityful: "Our little girl knows the posture of supporting willows, where is she worthy of the son of the previous life...... Uh, Wise Shenwu? Isn't it defiled by the prince? ”
Li Junze thought of the girl who looked deferential on the outside, but actually had nothing to do with being well-behaved, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Li Junze raised his eyebrows, but said meaningfully: "This son thinks he is worthy, who can talk more?" ”
Zhao Tingshan's expression was stunned, but after Li Junze said this, he turned around and left, he grabbed his hair, since his daughter was sent to Zhuangzi, Zhao Tingshan felt that his brain was not enough.
He looked at his good brother, "What do you mean by this?" ”
A touch of complicated emotions flashed in He Qingshan's eyes, he sighed and patted Zhao Tingshan on the shoulder: "Brother is so blessed!" ”
Zhao Tingshan's expression was out of condition, but he didn't know how he looked at it made Jean feel aggrieved, He Qingshan thought, He Yugui racked his brains and couldn't catch up with the prince of the world, and He Bingyan didn't make Li Junze impress her, but he took a fancy to Zhao Tingshan, a nerd.
Some things really can't be said.
Zhao Tingshan was not careful that Li Junze could take a fancy to his daughter, after all, he was from Shangjing, what kind of woman had not seen it? Li Junze's romantic name is not a wasted name, he is worried that his daughter-in-law and daughter will not be able to carry it clearly, but he is not so worried that Li Junze will take a fancy to his daughter.
Zhao Tingshan was very relieved.
I have to say that Second Master Zhao was relieved too early.
Zhao Tingshan wanted to create an opportunity for Gu Chenfeng, but he didn't have a trace, he couldn't let it be too obvious, he couldn't let himself go up to Li Junze to the thief ship, it could be said that he was racking his brains, trying to find a way, he felt that it was more difficult than letting him charge into battle.
But he finally found an opportunity.
Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, the people attach great importance to the Mid-Autumn Festival, which represents the day of family reunion.
This time, the Zhao Mansion was busy in the embroidery room, because this time the Wang family specially instructed to make two new sets of clothes for the whole house and the master.
The second room is naturally also available.
Liu was picking up the materials sent by the embroidery room.
"Yan'er, how about you take a look at this piece of material?" Liu Shi took a peach-colored dress and compared it to Zhao Siyan's body.
Liu's roommate, Mama Li, looked at Zhao Siyan, but said with a frown: "Madam, will this color seem too frivolous?" I'm afraid that the old lady will be dissatisfied again when she sees it. ”
The Zhao family has always prided itself on being a scholarly family, and they like the noble and simple style the most, and the colors that are too bright will make the old lady and the old lady dissatisfied.
Liu's eldest maid Xi'er couldn't help but pout: "No matter how good our wife is, the old lady can pick out whether it is or not, what about a piece of clothing?" I just see that our third lady looks good in this color! After a pause, she said angrily: "And look at the materials sent by this embroidery room, peach, red, or that piece of indigo, or the mother looks old when she wears it, not to mention our miss, this embroidery room is clearly deliberate!" ”
The color of the material sent by the embroidery room is either too frivolous, which will definitely make the old lady unhappy, or the color is too old, and wearing it will only add a little old-fashioned.
How could Mama Li not know? She was actually very dissatisfied in her heart, and felt that this embroidery room was too much, but Liu's situation in the Zhao family was not good, and saying it would only make her sad to take it, looking at Liu's somewhat gloomy expression, she couldn't help but glare at Xi'er.
"Where did so many words come from? The master indulges you too much on weekdays, there is no door on his mouth, and there are no rules? Mama Li scolded angrily.
Mama Li is the eldest grandmother next to the Liu family, and she also has some prestige in Tingyuyuan, Xi'er was reprimanded by her, her eyes were red, she lowered her head and didn't dare to say more, but she still looked indignant.
"It's a little dissatisfied, and it's not good to go out and buy it again at this time," Liu said with a frown.
Liu doesn't really care about this two-piece dress, her dowry is rich, even if she doesn't have a, she can dress up her daughter beautifully, but now it's too late to make the embroidery room ready-made, there are ready-to-wear clothes outside, but there is no tailor-made fit.
The Liu family has always been reluctant to wronged their children, but every time they let a pair of children be wronged because of her, this is where the Liu family is sad.
Zhao Siyan sighed helplessly, the Wang family was in charge of the feed, and the old lady Zhao didn't want to see the Liu family, the Wang family used such a means against the Liu family, and made the Liu family speechless, because even if the Liu family said it, the old lady Zhao would not make the decision for her, and she could only suffer a dumb loss.
Zhao Siyan glanced up at Lu He, Lu He blinked, and then reacted: "But speaking of which, the slave maid feels strange, the eldest lady has never guarded the reader and doesn't care about things outside her body, and her food and clothing should be simple, and she has never been willing to spend an extra silver or two outside of the example, what's wrong with this time?" Suddenly you want to make clothes for the master of the house? ”
When Xi'er heard this, she couldn't help but pout, and said disdainfully: "What is simple, that's all good, who doesn't know that the eldest lady's mother's family is not good, when she first entered the door, she didn't marry anything else, so she brought a few books, if it is a rare and rare book, forget it, they are all worthless things, and it is also beautiful to say what is the noble spirit of a scholar!" After a pause, she said again: "Who doesn't know that the eldest lady has been in charge of the family for so many years and has subsidized her mother's family?" ”
Mama Li's face suddenly sank, and she looked at Xi'er and said, "The more you talk about it, the more unpleasant it is!" Dare to arrange to go to the master, right? It seems that this rain garden can't keep you, otherwise it will be a disaster to stay here and there! ”
Xi'er's face turned pale with fright, and she looked at the Liu family with a sincere face: "Madam, the slave doesn't dare!" ”
Zhao Siyan said softly: "Mama, don't blame her, there are no outsiders in this room on the left and right, Xi'er is measured." ”
Mama Li secretly glared at Xi'er again.
This Xi'er is a bit like the green lotus next to Zhao Siyan, although her personality is a little frizzy, but she is loyal, otherwise she would not feel sorry for the Liu family's grievances.
Yun Cui thought for a while and said, "I heard that Gu Gongzi will also attend this family banquet, so the eldest lady attaches so much importance to this family banquet, and even sends people out to find new dishes, so I am worried that Gu Gongzi will not be used to it." ”
Lu He nodded, and suddenly burst out laughing, "The slave maid also heard that the eldest lady fell in love with Gu Gongzi again this time, and wanted to give the second girl to Gu Gongzi, so she wanted to buy clothes and jewelry for the second girl, but she was reluctant to pay for it herself, so she simply made a share for all the masters in the house!" ”
Zhao Siyan heard this, but also a helpless face, Wang is also a girl from a scholar's family, her father and brother are both studying, often such people are not producing, the Wang family is no exception, the family can only be regarded as rich, but the excess silver can not be taken out at all, and it is said that it is the backbone of the scholar.
Therefore, after the Wang family married into the Zhao family, he has been adhering to the style of thrifty life, but Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao feel that this is the high school that a scholar should have.
A hint of mockery flashed in Zhao Siyan's eyes, and now the Wang family can't take care of the character of a scholar in order to give her daughter a certain future.
No wonder the Wang family has been able to get the trust and favor of Mrs. Zhao for so many years.
Liu Shi opened his mouth and said: "That's someone else's business, don't say much, for women, the most important thing is not the dowry, but upbringing!" Yan'er, you also remember that Zhen Jing Shenyan is a woman's biggest backbone! ”
Zhao Siyan's expression froze, and he said respectfully: "It's the mother, the daughter remembers." ”
Liu's gaze swept over Xi'er and Green Lotus, "You two too, it's okay to say some things at home, but you also have to remember, don't talk about others at will, I won't keep such a person by Yan'er's side." ”
Xi'er and Luhe's faces were pale, and they hurriedly said flatteringly: "The slave knows that she is wrong, and she doesn't dare anymore." ”
Liu Shi bowed his head slightly with satisfaction, but when he turned his head, he felt embarrassed again, what should Zhao Siyan wear to the banquet?
It's not for Gu Chenfeng, she just doesn't want her daughter to be inferior to others, other people's daughters are dressed up beautifully, why can't her daughter? She doesn't care what she does, but she doesn't want to wronged her daughter.
Zhao Siyan thought about it, picked up the piece of material she had just taken, and compared it with herself.
"Will it be frivolous? I think it's okay, after all, I'm like a mother, good-looking, only I pick clothes, how can I pick clothes for me? Look, don't I look good? Zhao Siyan looked at Mama Li and said.
In fact, Liu's vision is really good, and Zhao Siyan himself thinks that this pink is the most beautiful for a few pieces of material sent.
Liu couldn't help but glare at her amusedly: "How can a girl's family say that about herself?" Don't be ashamed! ”
"But madam, the third lady really looks good in dress." Mama Li said in surprise: "The third lady has a good temperament, she has suppressed this frivolous color, she only feels lively and pretty, and it is the first time that the slave maid has seen someone who can wear this color so well!" Miss San is right, the wife is good-looking, how can she be a daughter? ”
Liu's face was helpless, but he recognized Mama Li's words in his heart, which mother's heart and daughter are the best, not to mention, Zhao Siyan is good-looking, calm and solemn, she feels that there is nothing bad when she looks at it.
After the clothes were chosen, they let people do it, because it was soon the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I started to get busy early in the morning, and the embroidery room sent the clothes over, and Yun Cui carefully checked them before putting them on for Zhao Siyan.
The effect of ready-to-wear is indeed very good, Zhao Siyan is young, but she does not look frivolous, she only feels lively and pretty, which is very suitable for her.
Liu Shi also nodded with satisfaction.
Zhao Wenxi walked over with his little hand behind his back, glanced at Zhao Siyan, nodded slightly, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Shang Ke, take it out, it will not insult your mother." ”
Zhao Siyan glanced at him with a smile, raised her eyebrows and said, "Then how are you doing your homework?" I heard that you didn't practice well enough, and you were punished by your husband? Aren't you afraid of insulting your mother? ”
Zhao Wenxi's little face turned red all of a sudden.
Liu Shi glanced at her helplessly: "You said you, what do you do to bully him when you have nothing to do?" ”
Zhao Siyan said confidently: "I want him to experience the difficulties of life, and I have to develop this spirit of perseverance since I was a child, mother, he is a boy, you can't spoil him too much!" ”
Before Liu could speak, Zhao Wenxi glanced at him and said disdainfully: "You are obviously jealous that my mother loves me more than you!" I'm younger than you, smarter than you, and I look better than you, my mother loves me, it's what it should be, and you are small-minded, and you can't compare to me, so you are cautious. ”
Zhao Siyan immediately wanted this bear child to experience what it means to be really cautious.
Liu hurriedly stepped forward to stop the siblings, preventing a foreseeable conflict from occurring, as they had to go to the banquet and not be late.
Zhao Siyan gave Zhao Wenxi a 'turn back and clean you up' look, but the bear child looked at her proudly, like a proud little hedgehog.
Liu was tired and took the two sisters and brothers to Helan Garden.
When they arrived at the door of Helan Garden, there was a little maid who opened the curtain for a few people, and there was a burst of laughter in the house, and it was Zhao Qingru who was talking.
"It looks a lot like your father when he was younger."
Mrs. Zhao looked at her daughter and said gently: "I have taken you back so twice, it is difficult for you to remember that in the end, it is the flesh and blood of the same clan, and the blood is connected." ”
This is probably talking about Gu Chenfeng, because Zhao Qingru's widow is in the Zhao family, and she also lives in a simple house, and she is still detained by Chen Wanying, and rarely lets her go out, so she is worried about others gossiping, and now that Chen Wanying is old, Zhao Qingru can't sit still.
