After separating from Rui Xue in front, Zhao Xihou swaggered in from the main entrance, and when the porter saw him, he said happily: "The third young master has finally returned, and the wife has sent someone to Liu's house, saying that the young master has left before, and he is so anxious that he is about to jump to his feet." The dissolving moon girl in the young master's house came several times, saying that as soon as the young master came back, she would let us say goodbye, and she finally came back. ”

Zhao Xihou was frightened, and suddenly stopped: "Send someone to go, when?" ”

The porter looked at him cautiously and whispered, "It's been half an hour." ”

Zhao Xihou had a headache and pressed the handle of the fan against his head. Half an hour smaller, this is not a matter of a short time, and when the time comes, he will definitely have to ask himself where he is going again, it will not take so long to get from the Liu family to the house, it seems that he has to find a reason. What a headache.

It's really bad for my mother to come back. At any time, you have to look at yourself or order someone to bring something. I really don't feel comfortable at all.

As he walked, he asked, "What else did the wife say?" ”

The porter followed behind him, hunched his waist and said, "Mrs. asked the little one, and only asked when the young master left in the morning, and what did Liu Gongzi do with the young master." ”

"Oh." Zhao Xi raised his eyebrows, "Then what did you say?" ”

The porter said: "The little one said, Liu Gongzi was anxious, thinking that there was something important." also said that the young master walked from the front...... Master, you walked through the gate, right? ”

The porter asked suddenly. The second wife asked him to go in and ask, he was really a little unsure in his heart, in fact, whether the third young master walked through the gate or not, he had no impression at all, he was sleepy at that time. I only knew that in the end, the son of the Liu family didn't knock on the door again, and he slept until dawn. But at that time, he was afraid that the second wife would find him wrong, so he sent him away, so he said that he walked through the gate.

Zhao Xihou couldn't help but nod with a smile.

That's it, I walked through the gate, what's this, what's the right thing to do, what are you afraid of. Unexpectedly, the reason for this is that there is no need to make it up at all, which is really good. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

From his purse, he took out a piece of silver and threw it to the porter: "I've rewarded you." ”

The porter immediately laughed into a flower, and thanked him repeatedly, but he didn't expect that he had encountered a great joy today.

Zhao Xihou didn't dare to go to Mrs. Zhao's first place, in the current situation, someone had already reported that he was back, and it was one thing to go or not. Maybe I'm angry now, so I'd better go to my grandfather's study first to avoid the edge.

Mrs. Zhao is practicing calligraphy, and every stroke is full of years of tempering and life's enlightenment. Zhao Xihou silently stood aside and grinded for Old Lady Zhao: "Grandpa's words are becoming more and more energetic." ”

"Oh?" Old lady Zhao wrote a long stroke on the rice paper as a closing pen, looked at the whole character carefully, and said with a smile, "Then what do you say is the spirit?" ”

Zhao Xihou looked at it again, pointed to a few places and said: "Here, here, and here, they are all very good, it looks like a thousand shots, and thousands of forces are concentrated in it." ”

Old lady Zhao smiled and threw away the pen and walked to the basin. Ximo hurriedly stepped forward and pulled up his cuffs for him.

Old lady Zhao washed her hands, took the tea, and took two bites: "You still have a little bit of eyes." Why is it so late today? ”

Zhao Xihou said respectfully: "In the morning, Brother Liu had something to do with his grandson, and he was in a hurry to go out before coming back." ”

"Oh? When, how did I not know? ”

"Very early, the genius came over in a hazy light."

Old lady Zhao thought for a while and said, "It's the son of Liu Ju's family, it's called ......."

Zhao Xihou smiled and continued: "Liu Ping, the word is peaceful." ”

Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "Yes, I am more and more forgetful, so I made a matchmaker for others, I can't remember people, and it will not be good for people to thank the media in a few days." What do you want to do? ”

Zhao Xihou said with a smile: "Today is three tricks, Mrs. Liu asked the bride to cook a big family's dishes, and she didn't send a single one." Brother Liu had no choice but to come to the house to find someone to help, I originally wanted to invite Uncle Wang to go, but Uncle Wang was not there, so I asked Ruixue to go. Thinking that Ruixue was a little girl, she went with her. ”

Old lady Zhao said suspiciously: "Just for this?" ”

"Yes! The bride prepared for a long time, and the girl came over and said that the big kitchen had prepared other things, and asked the bride to only make one meat, one vegetable and two dishes. ”

"You don't know. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to marry a daughter-in-law. The child of the Liu family is too, what's the urgency of this little thing? He invited you to come, if the people of the Liu family know, it will not be easy for the bride to be in the Liu family at that time. Don't do it again next time. ”

Zhao Xihou nodded hurriedly: "But the grandson looked at the people of the Liu family coldly, and he didn't like the sister who talked about it." Brother Liu's sister is not polite to the bride at all. ”

Old lady Zhao suddenly sank: "Is that so?" ”

"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes. Mrs. Liu called all the big and small relatives of the Liu family, and after the bride made a meat and a vegetable, Mrs. Liu had another problem. Zhao Xihou said the matter carefully, "Isn't this deliberately embarrassing people?" Although the Qiu family is a little poorer, who is the home of Zhong Ming Ding Food from the beginning? ”

When Old Lady Zhao heard him say this, she nodded again and again, and said with satisfaction: "Very good, it's good that you can think like this." Don't think that now that you are rich, you have a heart of dislike poverty. And then? ”

Zhao Xihou replied repeatedly, and smiled and rubbed his shoulders and back for Mrs. Zhao: "Later, Rui Xue thought of a way and made three non-sticks." It's delicious, it melts in your mouth, it really doesn't stick to your teeth, and grandpa can taste it. ”

Old lady Zhao nodded and said, "Okay." I'll ask Ruixue to do it later, my teeth are not good, it's rare to have such a good thing, I should do more. The ancients often said that those who have aspirations are not old, and Ruixue is only twelve years old now, and she can cook, which is really amazing. By the way, the sixth brother of your third uncle's family is also coming over. He's still younger than you, but you can't lose to him, starting tomorrow, you get up early, and I'll talk to you about the article. ”

Zhao Xihou only felt that there was infinite bitterness in his heart, but if he coped with it, he attracted the fact that Mrs. Zhao ordered him to get up early to study, and he would not have made this reason if he knew it. What a mistake.

Even if he was reluctant in his heart, he didn't dare to show the slightest reluctance, but smiled and agreed: "Exactly." It's not noon yet, it's so hot, so I can still read in the morning, and I might as well get up early. ”

He also offered to accompany Mrs. Zhao to play chess. The two of them had only been down for more than 20 years, and someone outside replied that the second wife had asked the third young master if he could come back.

Old lady Zhao threw the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box, waved his hand and said, "You go!" Your mother must not have found you, so go and see! ”

Zhao Xihou smiled and said, "Grandpa, wait for your grandson to come back, and it will be fine for a while." ”

Old lady Zhao just waved his hand, but ignored him anymore.

*

In Mrs. Zhao's room, Mrs. Zhao sat with anger on her face, and the whole room was quiet. Jin Ying and Jin Yan stood behind Second Mrs. Zhao, slowly fanning, and their faces were careful.

Rongyue Caiyun and the maids waiting in Zhao Xihou's house knelt on the ground. Some girls couldn't kneel anymore, and secretly moved their feet, but they didn't dare, for fear that Mrs. Zhao would see it, provoke anger, and give herself a few boards.

Lai Niang, who was guarding the gate of the courtyard, watched Zhao Xihou come over from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him: "Third young master, you can come back." My wife got up early in the morning and didn't see you, and there was a lot of fire, and the maids in your house knelt for a long time. ”

Zhao Xihou couldn't help but be stunned, strange, why did his mother run to his house early in the morning, it was really strange. He smiled and said, "Aren't I coming back?" How did my wife remember to go to me? ”

Lai Niang shook her head, but she just greeted Zhao Xihou into the courtyard, and a maid had already seen him, opened the curtain and shouted inside: "The young master is here." ”

The few people in Rongyue Caiyun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and their bodies were inevitably a little shaky, but they all gritted their teeth and straightened up.

Zhao Xihou strode into the room, ignoring the girls who were kneeling on the ground, only fanned the fan, and said repeatedly: "It's so hot." ”

Second Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly, but she didn't speak.

Zhao Xihou also ignored the black face of Second Mrs. Zhao, fanned the fan, and shouted: "Quickly pour me tea to eat, this day is really hot." ”

No girl in the room dared to answer him.

Zhao Xihou looked around at the trembling maid, pursed his lips, and approached the second wife Zhao with a smile: "Mrs. doesn't give tea to her son?" ”

Second Mrs. Zhao snorted softly. Only then did a maid bring up tea.

Zhao Xihou drank all the tea juice in one gulp, sighed comfortably, and pointed to the girl who knelt on the ground: "Did they make Mrs. angry?" It's such a hot day, and my wife is already afraid of the heat, so don't be angry. The son interceded for them? ”

Second Mrs. Zhao looked at him with a smile and pulled him to her side: "Why is it so hot?" Jin Ying went to serve sour plum soup to relieve the young master's heat. He added, "I went to look for you, but they didn't know anything, only said that there was a message from the concierge that someone was looking for you, and they didn't know what to do. ”

Zhao Xihou's heart was suddenly relieved, and he took the sour plum soup brought by Jin Ying and handed it to Mrs. Zhao's second wife: "Mrs. drink it first." He turned on the fan again to fan the second Mrs. Zhao, "Why should Mrs. punish them in the house, I feel even more uncomfortable when I look at it." I didn't go anywhere, but one of my classmates, the son of Liu Juren, who also came to our house to eat and drink that day. A few days ago, a few of us said that we would go out to watch the sunrise and do some articles casually, but it happened that my mother came back, and I forgot about it. They waited for half a bell this morning, but they didn't see me, so they came in a hurry. ”

Second Mrs. Zhao was silent for a moment.

"Don't you believe it?"

The corners of Mrs. Zhao's mouth hooked, and she smiled: "Why don't I believe it?" It's just that you went out rashly and didn't have an explanation, so I'm worried. If you want to go out in the future, tell me so that I don't have to worry about you. ”

Zhao Xihou hurriedly said: "They are also urging too fiercely." The son was in a hurry. Originally, I wanted to come over and tell my wife, but it was too early at that time, and my wife must not have gotten up yet, and I did not dare to disturb her. It was the son's negligence. ”

"It's your fault. And so are the ones. When is this going on, I'm going to ask you to go out and play. I heard that the porter asked him what he was doing, and he should have said it honestly, why didn't he say a word, it was really unruly. ”

"Don't talk about others, madam. In the end, it was my wife's fault. ”

Second Mrs. Zhao was a little surprised: "My fault? ”

Zhao Xihou nodded affirmatively: "Of course it's my wife's fault." If my wife hadn't come back, I wouldn't have thought about spending more time with her and forgetting about it, and it wouldn't have been like this. ”

Second Mrs. Zhao smiled and patted him: "It's hot!" It will get hotter and hotter in the future, so I sent someone to buy ice, and put some in your house every day in the future, so that you can calm down when you read. ”

"Of course that's good. In the afternoon, I can't read, the sun is too hot. ”

"I see that the lake is still relatively cool, so I will ask someone to take care of the house there, and you can go there to study."

Zhao Xihou said happily: "Of course it's good." It's just that there are more bugs. ”

Second Mrs. Zhao said disappreciatively: "What are the insects afraid of." I asked them to bring you a few new yarns to paste the windows, it is a new official yarn, it is dense, and no matter how small the worm is, it will not be able to get in. I still have incense here, and when the time comes, I will ask them to be diligent. I can't heat you up. ”

Zhao Xihou nodded. However, he didn't want to move to the lake, and if he ran out to play by himself in the future, he would definitely be exposed, and it would not be good at that time.

"Still don't need to. When the sixth brother comes back, there will be more people in the garden, and it will not be quiet at that time, so it is better to be in my current house. ”

Second Mrs. Zhao thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case. She is dedicated to her son's study, and as long as it is beneficial for her child's study, she is willing to do it: "In this case, I will ask someone to put more ice in your house." ”

"Hmm. If my wife is fine, my son will go to my grandfather's, and my grandfather will still be waiting for me to play chess. ”

Second Mrs. Zhao nodded, put down the sour plum soup in her hand, took a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth, and nodded: "Since the old lady called you over, you can go!" What do you want to eat at noon, so I told Lai Niang. ”

Zhao Xihou bowed again and again and went out cautiously.

Before he was discharged from the hospital, the little maid in front of Mrs. Zhao was waiting for him outside. He was relieved now, and his face was a little more easy-going, and he said with a smile: "Why did you run away?" Grandpa urged me? ”

Po Hao wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Liu Juren brought Mrs. Liu, Young Master Liu and the young grandmother here, the old lady is seeing it, and asked the young master to come over." By the way, Young Grandma Liu also said that she wanted to see Ruixue, and the young master knew where Ruixue went? ”

Zhao Xihou said angrily: "You dog actually came to ask me?" How do I know where she is? I haven't seen her for a few days, and you're too lazy to run. ”

Splash Ink had to go to the kitchen.
