After Zhao Siyan went back, the Liu family also woke up, Zhao Siyan only said simply, the matter of the Zhang family's proposal was settled, but Zhao Siyan concealed that Chen Wanying and Zhao Siyin colluded with Zhang Zijie to ruin her reputation.

Liu naturally believed in his daughter, and hurriedly recited the Buddha's name when he heard the words: "Amitabha, Amitabha, it is really blessed by the Buddha, so that the mother can be regarded as relieved." ”

Zhao Siyan smiled and bowed her head.

After dinner, the Liu family was not worried about Zhao Siyin and Chen Wanying, so he went to see them again, and heard the monks in the temple say that the Zhang family had left, and the Liu family was completely relieved.

After breakfast the next day, the Liu family went to call Zhao Siyin and Chen Wanying, and they should go back.

When she went back, Chen Wanying's eyes were red and swollen, she looked haggard, and she didn't sleep well.

Chen Wanying almost couldn't maintain her usual weak image this time, and her eyes glared at Zhao Siyan angrily.

"It's nothing, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night." Chen Wanying squeezed out a smile and said.

Zhao Siyan said softly: "I think it's my cousin who thinks of my uncle in order to pray for my uncle, so I feel sad and can't sleep at night, mother, my cousin is a filial piety, don't ask again, lest my cousin be sad again." ”

Chen Wanying took a deep breath and reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "It's still the third cousin who understands me." She said it almost through gritted teeth.

Zhao Siyan smiled slightly and said considerately: "This is natural, we are sisters of the same clan!" ”

Chen Wanying's face changed, and even Zhao Siyin's expression was a little uncomfortable, sisters of the same clan, what they did was not what their sisters would do, they always felt that Zhao Siyan's words were sarcastic about them, but Zhao Siyan looked sincere, but it seemed that they were too careful.

This is the so-called being a thief, they have done something wrong, so what Zhao Siyan said, they all felt that she had a deep meaning and a meaning, and they didn't even dare to ask where Zhao Siyan went yesterday and why she didn't go to Chen Wanying's room.

Zhao Siyin and Chen Wanying hurriedly got into the carriage, and Zhao Siyan also helped Liu to get into the carriage, and the group set off to return.

Back at Zhao's house, Liu took the three girls to ask Mrs. Zhao for peace, and when Mrs. Zhao looked at Zhao Siyan, who appeared in front of her unharmed, her face became a little uglier than when she pretended to be sick.

Old Lady Zhao couldn't believe that things would fail, and she asked with the last shred of hope, "Can you go well this time?" But what happened? ”

Liu said with a smile: "Nothing happened, everything went well, the daughter-in-law also asked her mother for a hexagram, which was signed, saying that her mother's body would be healthy and live a long life." ”

Mrs. Zhao felt that her heart was beating a little hard, which made her wonder for the first time whether the hexagram of Ci'en Temple was really effective, otherwise why did she feel that she was really bad at this time?

The eldest lady glanced at Zhao Siyin, Zhao Siyin shook her head without a trace, the eldest lady knew that this plan had failed, and she felt a wave of unwillingness in her heart, why is this Zhao Siyan so good? This kind of thing can make her dodge!

In this way, I don't know if there will be any changes in the marriage of the Zhang family.

The Liu family didn't care what they thought in their hearts, and they were about to retire after asking for peace: "Mother, the daughter-in-law will retire first." ”

Old Lady Zhao couldn't wait to know what was going on in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and waved her hand to let the Liu family and Zhao Siyan step back without hesitation.

As soon as the two left, Mrs. Zhao looked at Zhao Siyin.

Zhao Siyin reluctantly said the matter, Chen Wanying didn't want to hear this, this was simply pouring salt on her wounds! originally thought that Zhao Siyan would be ruined this time, and it would be impossible for Gu Chenfeng to like her again, but on the contrary, Zhao Siyan was safe and sound, and she retreated, but she was broken by Gu Chenfeng, and it was impossible for her to be with him.

Chen Wanying returned to the courtyard and saw Zhao Qingru, so she threw herself into her arms and cried bitterly.

Zhao Qingru was distressed, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Chen Wanying's eyes were red, and she said hatefully: "Mother, I'm unwilling!" Why is Zhao Siyan so good! What am I worse than her? Is it because my father died? Why is God so unfair? ”

Zhao Qingru hugged her tightly: "Ying'er, don't cry, don't cry, my mother will definitely make you live better than anyone else, she will!" As she spoke, she wiped Chen Wanying's tears, her eyes sharp: "Since we can't marry the Gu family, then we also have to consider other families, with my son's talent and temperament, are you afraid that you won't find a good family?" ”

Chen Wanying nodded, and said with red eyes: "Mother! I'm going to make them all regret it! ”

Chen Wanying thought of Gu Chenfeng's handsome and elegant demeanor, and a touch of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

Zhao Qingru nodded slightly in satisfaction and touched her head.

Since Zhao Siyan came back from Ci'en Temple safe and sound, Mrs. Zhao had a bad premonition in her heart, and after two days, the Zhang family did not send anyone to discuss the marriage, and the old lady Zhao and the eldest lady couldn't sit still, so they sent someone to the Zhang family to inquire about the news.

As a result, the grandmother sent there didn't even see Mrs. Zhang's face, so she was kicked out.

Mama came back and said: "The Zhang family said that we are delusional, and we dare to kiss the Zhang family, it is good that the Zhang family did not trouble us, and they still dare to come to the door, and said that we are not allowed to mention this matter again in the future, otherwise their Zhang family will not give up." ”

The attitude of the Zhang family is so obvious, needless to say, this family affair will not be successful, and Zhao Tingxu's position as the main book will naturally be no fun.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao trembled with anger, but she was not a Qizhang family, she was so angry that she was the Liu family and Zhao Siyan, if she didn't understand it, she would have been a family for so many years.

"Okay, I look honest on weekdays, but it turns out that a dog that bites people doesn't bark! I underestimated her! How dare you play such a trick! Old Lady Zhao said hatefully.

The eldest lady also felt disappointed in her heart, "Mother, these two brothers and sisters are too much, they don't take you seriously at all!" Although the Zhang family promised to give our master a position as the main bookkeeper, it was also because the second brother already had an official position, which must be because the second brother and sister were dissatisfied with our master as an official! But she doesn't want to think about it, we are all a family, one is prosperous, and the other is humiliated! ”

The eldest lady really hates the second room, such a good opportunity was destroyed by the Liu family, and the ducks in her hand flew away, which is simply digging her meat!

Mrs. Zhao said indignantly: "I said a long time ago that she was a dead star!" ”

The eldest lady looked at Mrs. Zhao suspiciously: "But why did this Zhang family suddenly change their minds?" ”

Mrs. Zhao couldn't figure it out, but it must be that Liu's hands and feet were right, because of this incident, Mrs. Zhao hated Liu's heart very much, so she began to deliberately snub her, even when Zhao Wenxi was there, there was no exception.

Zhao Wenxi went to intercede with Mrs. Zhao, but Mrs. Zhao angrily reprimanded: "You just study hard, what do you always say to your mother?" Our Zhao family doesn't have such unpromising descendants! ”

When Zhao Wenxi heard this, he didn't dare to persuade anymore, worried that he would anger Mrs. Zhao again.

Mrs. Zhao asked Liu to set rules in front of her all day long, and for a few days, Liu lost a lot of weight, Liu herself had no complaints, in her opinion, as a daughter-in-law, this is what she should do, and her daughter's family affairs can be solved smoothly, even if she suffers a lot, she is willing.

But Zhao Siyan doesn't have such a good temper.

Mama Li ran to Zhao Siyan to complain, her eyes were red: "Third Miss, you should think of a way, how can my wife's body stand it if it goes on like this?" ”

Zhao Siyan frowned, her face was a little ugly, Mrs. Zhao's methods this time can be described as simple and rude, very straightforward, there is no technical content at all, but it is surprisingly effective, sometimes, identity is a natural advantage.

Zhao Siyan thought about it, then picked up the pen and wrote a letter, and then called the green lotus.

"You go and send a letter for me, when you send it out of the house, you must let everyone in the house know that this is a reply to the prince, just say that the prince sent two books to Wen Xi, this is a reply letter written by his mother to him, thank the prince."

Hearing this, Lu He took the letter and nodded again and again: "It's Miss, the slave will go!" ”

"Be careful, don't let people see it."

"Slave and maid, don't worry, Miss! You won't find out! The little maid swore an oath.

Green Lotus took the letter and left.

A smile flashed in Mama Li's eyes, and she couldn't help but rejoice: "In this way, the old lady will no longer dare to trouble our wife." ”

Zhao Siyan nodded, paused, and said, "I remember that my grandmother sent blood swallows before, so I will make some for my mother today, so that she can make up for her body." ”

Mama Li hurriedly responded, "Mrs. knows that the young lady is filial, and she will be happy, and the slave maid will do it herself, lest those little maids spoil this good thing!" ”

After Mama Li finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.

Green Lotus's movements are very quick and smooth, mainly because the second room is now the focus of attention of the whole house, and the eldest lady and Zhao Qingru always pay attention to the movements of the second room, and a little wind and grass can attract their attention.

This time, Green Lotus wanted to send a letter out of the house, and there was no need for Green Lotus to find a way to spread the news, and someone would come to inquire about the news.

Green Lotus also pretended to excuse himself twice, "Why are you asking about this?" This is an errand assigned by the master, and it is good to be a slave and a maid, and it is good to do a good job. ”

"Sister Green Lotus, isn't this an encounter, let's talk casually, speaking of which, we still entered the mansion in the same year." The little maid smiled flatteringly, and then asked curiously: "Who in this mansion doesn't know that the prince of the world only looked at our Zhao family differently because of the second room, and the prince really valued the second master so much?" Didn't you say that there were a lot of soldiers in the army? Why do you look at the second master so differently? ”

"That's nature!" Lu He said proudly: "That's the prince of the world!" How can other soldiers compare with our masters? A few days ago, I also sent a few books to our fifth young master, saying that we want our fifth young master to study hard and serve the country in the future. ”

The little maid hurriedly showed an envious look: "Is that really the case?" That prince is really good to the second master! ”

"It's not, so our wife asked me to deliver the letter, this world is good to our master, and it's good to our fifth young master, our Zhao family can't be without courtesy, right?" Lu He said as a matter of course: "Okay, I won't talk to you more, I'm going to deliver the letter in a hurry!" ”

Green Lotus said and hurried away.

The little maid didn't stop her this time, and when she watched her go away, she rolled her eyes and went to report to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady rewarded the little maid with fifty copper plates, and the little maid skimmed the corners of her mouth, this eldest lady is stingy, and she is not generous to reward the next person, but she still responded happily, thanked her, and turned around and walked out.

The eldest lady frowned, and Zhao Siyin, who was doing embroidery, showed a sneer: "It seems that the second aunt can't stand it anymore, so move the prince out and press people!" ”

The eldest lady said angrily: "This second room is becoming more and more arrogant, even your grandmother dares not to take it seriously!" ”

"Who let the second uncle get the appreciation of the prince?" Zhao Siyin said casually: "Even my grandmother's birthday, the prince can be there in person, if my father also has a half-official position, he won't look at the face of the second room." ”

As soon as this was mentioned, the fire in the eldest lady's heart came out again, and the position of the master book in her hand was gone, and she felt angry when she thought about it.

Zhao Siyin knew what she was thinking as soon as she saw her expression, and she said softly: "Mother, now is not the time to be angry, if she can write a letter to the prince, she can go to the prince to complain, who let her father have no official status?" I have to bow my head! ”

The eldest lady reluctantly agreed, but her face was still not very good.

The eldest lady went to Helan Garden and persuaded Mrs. Zhao a few words, but Mrs. Zhao was also angry, but she didn't dare to set rules for the Liu family anymore.

However, probably because of the unhappiness in her heart, coupled with the fact that the marriage of the Zhang family was not completed, Mrs. Zhao was really sick, she was sick for several days, and she didn't have the heart to find trouble with the Liu family, so Zhao Siyan and the Liu family also lived a few days of leisure.

The eldest lady was busy, because the three young masters in the house were going to participate in the imperial examination next year, so she naturally wanted to get up, Zhao Wenyu and Zhao Wenkang were still her own sons, and even Zhao Siyin was behind.

On this day, Mrs. Sun personally came to the door and sent a post to Mrs. Zhao, inviting the people of the Zhao family to enjoy the flowers.

Although the Sun family is a merchant, but has always liked to be vassal, the courtyard of the Sun family is built beautifully and exquisitely, but also raised a plum blossom forest in the house, which is ranked first in the entire Dengzhou, this time the Sun family invited the Zhao family to enjoy the plum blossoms.

It is said that scholars have always despised merchants, and the Zhao family has always regarded themselves as scholars, so it is said that they will not deal with merchants like the Sun family, but what kind of merchants are there, the Sun family is the richest man in Dengzhou, and the Zhao family is still willing to condescend to the noble, and this time it is Sun Fugui's wife who came in person.

So when Mrs. Zhao received the post, she happily agreed and would definitely participate.

However, at this time, the eldest lady was busy with family affairs and lacked skills, and Zhao Qingru was a widow, so it was inconvenient to go out, and in the end, the candidate for going out fell on the Liu family.

The eldest lady hurriedly instructed the sewing room to prepare clothes and jewelry for them to go out, this time, Zhao Siyin did not go, she was left at home by the eldest lady, learning the housekeeper's affairs, so Liu took Zhao Siyan and Chen Wanying out together.

Chen Wanying was brought by Mrs. Zhao when she spoke, and the Liu family also understood that Chen Wanying had also reached the age of kissing, and taking her out this time was also for the ladies to see.

However, the Liu family just felt a little strange, the Sun family and the Zhao family didn't have much contact before, why did Mrs. Sun actually come to deliver the post in person?

Zhao Siyan knew the reason, Li Junze had said before that he wanted to use the Sun family, I am afraid that the Sun family is now compromised, Zhao Tingshan can keep Li Junze's reuse, and the Sun family will naturally pay more attention to it.

But she didn't tell Liu.

Today, Chen Wanying is obviously deliberately dressed up, she is already beautiful, especially my temperament, she is wearing a water-blue embroidered white jasmine jacket today, with the golden wisps of butterflies in her hair, she looks young and lively, very elegant.

She has a shallow smile on her face and looks well-behaved and cute.

When Chen Wanying saw Liu, she was also a little more well-behaved and respectful than usual, standing beside her, very deferential.

Liu couldn't help but be a little surprised, Chen Wanying had always been as close to her as she was to the eldest lady in the past, but today it was abnormal, but she didn't say anything, and took Zhao Siyan and Chen Wanying out of the door.

The Sun family is in the south of the city, and the people living in the south of the city are all people with good family backgrounds, there are petty officials who work as errands in the yamen, and there is a noble scholarly family, the Sun family occupies a huge area, probably because the Sun family holds a flower party today, resulting in some congestion in the street.

When they arrived at the gate of Sun's house, Liu took Zhao Siyan and Chen Wanying out of the car, and there was a maid in front of the door to welcome the guests.

As soon as she saw the carriageway of the Zhao family, the mother-in-law whispered a few words to the maid, and the little maid walked in, and after a while, Mrs. Sun walked out.

Mrs. Sun is over 40 years old this year, she is a little wealthy, she has a pair of eyes and smiles, and she looks like a kind lady.

When Mrs. Sun saw Liu, she smiled: "It's the second wife who is here, please come inside," after a pause, she glanced at Zhao Siyan and Chen Wanying: "Who are these two girls?" ”

Mrs. Sun had a kind attitude, and it seemed that the Sun family had not been affected by the previous events, and Zhao Siyan couldn't help but think about it when she thought of this.

Liu smiled and introduced: "This is the little girl Siyan, this is our lord's niece, Wanying." ”

Zhao Siyan and Chen Wanying gave Mrs. Sun a gentle blessing.

Mrs. Sun's eyes flashed on the faces of the two, and then she showed a more gentle and kind smile: "Look, the Zhao family still raises a girl, look at this exquisite and clear, it really makes me happy when I see it!" ”

Liu's eyes flashed, and there were many meanings in these words of joy in his heart.

Mrs. Sun stopped at the point, and immediately took out two purses from her arms, and stuffed them into the arms of Zhao Siyan and Chen Wanying with a smile.
