Chapter 57: Zhao Siyan's family affairs
Zhao Siyan returned to the courtyard, the Liu family had already returned, and when she saw her, she couldn't help but complain a few words, Zhao Siyan hurriedly coaxed her a few words.
Zhao Siyan called Zhao Wenxi over and whispered to him that Jiang Yi was waiting for him, the little guy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he actually threw himself into Zhao Siyan's arms all of a sudden.
"Thank you, sister!" Zhao Wenxi was so happy that he turned around and ran out.
Zhao Siyan sighed, and didn't know when Zhao Wenxi would be able to start practicing martial arts in a bright and bright way.
I'm afraid that as long as I am in the Zhao family for a day, this matter will be difficult to achieve.
Jiang Yi saw Zhao Wenxi in a hurry, and he didn't know what the two said, but in an hour, Zhao Wenxi came back, and his body was a little dirty, but his little face was red, and his eyes were full of brilliance.
"I've seen Master, and Master said that my practice is okay, but it's a pity that I don't have much time to practice martial arts, otherwise my progress will definitely be greater!" Zhao Wenxi said proudly.
Zhao Siyan touched his head.
Zhao Wenxi said again: "Master has already gone back, saying that he is going to fight the Great Liao people, the Great Liao people are bad, and I will also go to the battlefield to fight the bad people in the future!" After speaking, there was a look of determination on his little face.
Zhao Siyan smiled and nodded: "Sister, I believe you will be able to do it!" ”
"I'm just worried about my mother, if my mother knows that I want to practice martial arts, I will definitely feel very disappointed." Zhao Wenxi said in a low voice.
When Zhao Siyan heard this, he hugged him in his arms and did not speak.
Zhao Siyan and Zhao Wenxi were talking, and they didn't have an idea to go to the Liu family outside the door, the Liu family was not at ease, and wanted to come to see their children, but they didn't expect to hear their conversation, and their eyes couldn't help but feel a pain.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, after the Wang family had registered the income raised by everyone in the ice hockey game, they were going to buy winter clothes to send to the soldiers in the army.
The Zhao family has to go back today, and there are a lot of things at home.
Gu Chenfeng didn't appear, he should have returned to Dengzhou with Li Junze yesterday, and everyone got into the carriage and returned home.
When they arrived at Zhao's house, everyone naturally had to go to Helan Garden to greet Mrs. Zhao first.
The group arrived at Helan Garden, and the maid walked into the house after the maid said, and just entered the house, before he could speak, he heard the happy voice of Mrs. Zhao: "The second family, you came just in time, I have a happy event to discuss with you here!" ”
Liu couldn't help but be a little stunned, she had been in the door for so many years, even when she gave birth to Zhao Wenxi, Mrs. Zhao didn't treat her so kindly, and she couldn't help but be a little flattered for a while.
"Mother, what kind of happy event? Speaking out, let us also touch the joy of the second sister-in-law! Zhao Qingru said with a smile.
Zhao Siyan frowned faintly, she didn't think that Old Lady Zhao would have anything good.
Mrs. Zhao smiled slightly, her eyes fell on Zhao Siyan's body, and she said with a smile: "I, ah, I chose a family affair for Siyan!" ”
Liu Shi and Zhao Siyan were both startled, raised their heads awkwardly, and looked at Old Lady Zhao.
Zhao Siyan's eyes were even a little sharp, which made Mrs. Zhao's heart tremble, she immediately sank her face, a junior dared to be so rude to her, this was unbearable for her.
However, thinking of the matter just mentioned, she still endured the displeasure in her heart, and looked at Zhao Siyan gently: "Good boy, you go back first, grandmother and your mother have something to say." ”
Zhao Siyan knew that she had no room to express her opinion at this time, even if it was her marriage, she could only bow softly and retreat respectfully.
Zhao Siyan gave Mama Li a look, at this time, she couldn't count on Liu's, when Liu's faced Mrs. Zhao, she had always been lacking in confidence, even if she had something to say, she didn't dare to speak, but Mama Li, she was clear-minded, and she could remind Liu's a few words on the side.
Old Mrs. Zhao glanced at Zhao Siyin and Chen Wanying again, and said softly: "You are also tired, go back and rest first." ”
Zhao Siyin and Chen Wanying glanced at each other, both saluted, turned around and retired.
Zhao Siyan walked out of Helan Garden, and Zhao Siyin and Chen Wanying also followed.
Chen Wanying stopped Zhao Siyan, and said with a happy face: "I really want to congratulate the third cousin, I didn't expect the Zhao family to be the first to decide on the third cousin, but it's no wonder that the third cousin has always been famous, and it's not strange that someone comes to the door to ask for marriage." ”
This time, Zhao Siyin and Chen Wanying had the same goal, and they also smiled and nodded: "Yes, third sister, I really want to congratulate you, the family matter chosen by my grandmother must be a good family, and my sister congratulates my sister first." ”
Zhao Siyan hadn't spoken yet, but Chen Wanying suddenly looked surprised, "Oh, I don't know if Cousin Gu knows about this, he has always been impressed by the third sister, if he knows the news, I'm afraid he will feel sad, right?" After a pause, she pretended to sigh again: "But it can't be helped, who made the third cousin so popular?" ”
After speaking, she looked at Zhao Siyan gloatingly, with obvious malice in her eyes.
Zhao Siyan couldn't help but feel funny, in fact, from the beginning, when she heard that Mrs. Zhao had set her up for a marriage, she was flustered for a moment, but it was only for a while, in fact, she wasn't worried much, now she wouldn't let anyone be in charge of her fate, she would always have a way.
But she wasn't worried, Chen Wanying and Zhao Siyin couldn't wait to stand up and fall into the ground, which made her feel helpless and funny.
Especially Chen Wanying, this is the second time she has mentioned Gu Chenfeng, as if she has determined what she has with Gu Chenfeng.
Zhao Siyan said softly: "My cousin envy me so much, is it possible that she also wants to get married?" After a pause, she continued: "If my cousin is embarrassed to mention it, my sister can go and tell my grandmother, and I must ask my grandmother to choose a good family business for my cousin." ”
Chen Wanying's expression suddenly froze.
She glared at Zhao Siyan angrily, and said coldly: "You don't need to be pretending to be kind!" After a pause, she suddenly curled the corners of her lips again, revealing a sweet smile: "I really want to know, which family did grandmother choose for you?" But I promise, it's definitely not Cousin Gu! ”
Zhao Siyan said lightly: "No matter which family I promise to, it is impossible for Cousin Gu to marry my cousin, why is my cousin so excited?" ”
Chen Wanying's face suddenly became ugly, but fortunately, the maid next to her tugged on her sleeve, and she regained her look, but she snorted coldly at Zhao Siyan: "Then let's see!" ”
After Chen Wanying finished speaking, she threw up her sleeves and left.
Zhao Siyin looked at Zhao Siyan and said softly: "Third sister, cousin is this temper, third sister, don't worry about her." ”
Zhao Siyan smiled when she heard this, and said indifferently: "I understand, thank you second sister." ”
Zhao Siyan nodded at her, looking happy.
The two parted on the fork in the road, and Zhao Siyan returned to Tingyu Garden.
When she entered the house, Yun Cui looked anxious: "Miss, what the hell is going on?" It's okay before we leave, it's only a day, how can we settle on a family affair? I hadn't heard the old lady mention it before. ”
yes, but it's only one day, why did a family affair pop up? Is it so easy to decide?
Lu He also said angrily: "This selection of relatives, it is not necessary to pick and choose, but in two days, where can I find a good family?" The old lady was too hasty this time! ”
Yun Cui didn't reprimand her for having no rules this time, but glared at her and said, "Haven't you always called Bao to inquire?" Why is there no news at all this time? ”
Green Lotus was also helpless, she followed her wife out, and she just came back to this incident, and she didn't have time to inquire.
For women, family affairs are particularly important, it can be called the second reincarnation, if you marry the wrong one, but it is a lifelong thing, so some people who love their daughters start to choose one or two years in advance, and then they have to inquire about the news, and they can't settle down for a year and a half.
And they only left the house the day before yesterday, but in just two days, Mrs. Zhao actually chose a family affair, although this day is still short, it is just a proposal, and there is no exchange of posts, but looking at the meaning of Mrs. Zhao, I am afraid that I am very satisfied with this family affair, and it will be decided immediately.
It's no wonder that Yuncui and Green Lotus are in such a hurry.
In contrast, Zhao Siyan was much calmer, as if the person who wanted to marry was not her at all.
Zhao Siyan said lightly: "Don't worry, hasn't grandmother already gone to talk to my mother?" I'll have news when I get back in a while, so you guys pack up your things first and then take a rest. ”
Yun Cui was helpless, her young lady's temperament was really calm, her eyebrows were about to burn, and she was not in a hurry.
Yun Cui didn't have Zhao Siyan's determination, and he couldn't wait for the Liu family to come back, so he asked Lu He to go out to inquire about the news.
Green Lotus didn't have time to pack up his things and hurried out the door.
Zhao Siyan saw it, and he didn't stop them, it's good to have more news after all.
Liu's face was a little ugly when he came back after two hours, and it was almost dinner, and when Liu's face came back, it seemed that Mrs. Zhao was unhappy.
Zhao Siyan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, although she knew that Mrs. Zhao was in such a hurry to marry her, she wouldn't be a good candidate, she might enter the eyes of Mrs. Zhao, I am afraid that it would not be an ordinary person, how could she make the Liu family angry like this?
Before leaving, she also hinted at Mama Li and asked her to stop the Liu family, why did she still make such a fuss?
Zhao Siyan thought about it, silently poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
Liu Shi took it without hesitation, drank most of the cup of tea, and then slapped the teacup on the table, acting rough and heroic, quite a bit of her style before she got married.
"Can't my daughter get married? I actually want to match a concubine! What if it's too much of a prince? Isn't it too good? Even if the concubine is out, the biological mother is said to be still a prostitute and a lame! Liu said angrily: "The old lady has gone too far this time, I want to write a letter to your father, and I must not agree to this marriage!" ”
Liu's sentence has already revealed the complete information, the concubine of the Taishou family, and he is still a lame?
It seems that Mrs. Zhao did take great pains to choose a 'good family' for her this time, no wonder the Liu family was so angry.
Zhao Siyan couldn't help but think thoughtfully.
Liu Shi looked at Zhao Siyan's calm face, looking like he was out of the matter, and his heart settled down a little: "Siyan, don't worry, my mother will never let you marry me, and my mother will protect you." ”
Zhao Siyan shook his head, but said calmly: "Compared to this, I want to know more, why did Lord Zhang marry our Zhao family, although he is a concubine and has a disability, but even so, Lord Zhang is also a frontier official, why did he choose our Zhao family?" ”
The Zhao family only has Zhao Tingshan as an official in the court, and he is also a military general, even if he is a military general, his position is not very high, just a six-grade official, compared to Zhang Hongming, a second-grade official, that Young Master Zhang will not care even if he is disabled.
And except for the Liu family, who really thinks about his daughter, if he is a different family, he can marry Taishou, which is something that many people dream of, after all, the marriage of the two families is a good conclusion of two surnames, no matter how you look at it, the Zhao family is high.
Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Your grandmother didn't say this, but just said that Mrs. Taishou heard that you repaired the painting and admired your name, and it happened that the third young master of the Zhang family had reached marriageable age, so she thought about asking for him to marry." ”
Zhao Siyan shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, it's impossible for a family like Lord Taishou to marry casually, even if it's just a concubine, there must be other reasons for this." ”
Liu Shi was nervous at the moment, she couldn't understand the reason, but she decided on one thing: "No matter what the reason is, my mother will not let me marry!" Absolutely not! ”
Zhao Siyan smiled at her.
In fact, Zhao Siyan has one more thing that I think is strange, Zhao Dexiu and Mrs. Zhao cherish their reputation the most, and they like to flaunt the literati's set of 'mighty and unyielding, rich and noble', and 'scholars would rather bend than bend' such reputation, marrying the Zhang family, and Zhang Gongzi is in that situation, I am afraid that it will be said that it is a dragon and a phoenix, even if Mrs. Zhao has this intention, I am afraid that she will take a handle or two, and she will not agree immediately.
But the current situation is that the Zhang family sent someone to mention it, and Mrs. Zhao agreed, which is afraid that there is another inside story.
It seems that a lot of things have happened in the two days since they left.
It's just that now she still has too little information to know what to do next.
Liu said: "Why don't you write to your father first and let him come back." ”
Liu also knew that she would lack confidence in the face of her in-laws, and wanted to call Zhao Tingshan back to support her.
But Zhao Siyan immediately said: "No! After a pause, she continued: "Mother, now that the war is tight, how can Daddy leave his post without permission? Besides, the Zhang family just said that they had this intention, and they haven't decided yet, so it's not good to go to Daddy, and it's not good for us to always go to Daddy because of such things, and the matter of the inner house depends on ourselves. ”
Liu was persuaded by Zhao Siyan, but there was no good way to help.
When Zhao Wenxi heard that Liu was back, he also ran over to listen to the news, and he was not noisy or noisy, listening to the conversation between his mother and sister.
"If only I were older, I would be able to stand out for my sister!" Zhao Wenxi said with annoyance, paused, and said: "Maybe the Zhang family just took a fancy to me and thought that I would definitely have a future in the future, so I wanted to settle my sister so early!" ”
Looking at his words, Zhao Siyan couldn't help laughing, and Liu's brows relaxed.
Zhao Siyan ignored him, she looked at Liu and asked, "Mother, what did you tell your grandmother just now?" Didn't contradict her, did you? ”
"That's not true, it's just that I didn't control it at the time, and I said no, your grandmother's face is not very good, but fortunately, Mama Li said, this matter has to wait for your father to come back to discuss, and my mother is the master alone, but I look at your grandmother and seems to be very unhappy, what else do you say, as an elder, she can't even do the marriage of a granddaughter? She also said that she thought it was a great thing, so we should not miss it. ”
Zhao Siyan nodded, if Mrs. Zhao really insisted on marrying the Zhang family, the Liu family really had no choice, let alone her, even if Zhao Tingshan came back, she couldn't stop it, after all, a filial piety word would crush people to death, and Mrs. Zhao, as a grandmother, could indeed decide the family affairs of her granddaughter.
But even so, Zhao Siyan didn't feel much trouble, she was more concerned about the meaning behind this marriage than this marriage.
Zhao Siyan comforted Liu's two sentences, although Liu's was still not at ease, he was persuaded by his daughter in the end, and did not write to Zhao Tingshan immediately.
"Mother, it's not too early, after a day of carriage, you must be tired, let's go back and rest first." Zhao Siyan said softly.
Seeing that her daughter looked relaxed, Liu had no choice but to nod and take Mama Li's hand back to the room.
Liu asked the maid to go down, leaving Mama Li to serve alone.
Liu sat in front of the dresser, and Mama Li removed her makeup.
"Look at her, she didn't take it seriously at all! I know that she has always been smart and has a plan in her heart, but she is young and doesn't know the seriousness of this matter, if the old lady really wants to marry the Zhang family, what can she do if she is a girl's family? Liu said with a sad brow, "It's all because I'm useless, I can't speak in front of the old lady." "Even my daughter didn't take her words to heart.
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Shi was full of complaints: "She can't see it when I can? She was born to me, how could I not know what she was thinking? She just thinks that she is smart and I can't help her, so she doesn't tell me anything, and wants to solve it herself! But in such a big matter, if something goes wrong, she really wants to marry that Young Master Zhang! After a pause, she sighed again: "In the end, isn't it still me who is worried about her?" ”
Before there were no children, Liu's heart was Zhao Tingshan, and after having a child, Liu's heart was divided into two, half of Zhao Siyan and half of Zhao Wenxi, not that she didn't care about Zhao Tingshan, but after having a child, she inevitably put most of her energy on a pair of children.
It can be said that a pair of children is her life.
But Zhao Siyan and Zhao Wenxi don't rely much on her as a mother, Zhao Siyan has grown up and is smart, even Zhao Wenxi is like her sister, Liu's heart is unbalanced and lost.
