Chapter 559: Serving
Hum! Zhao snorted coldly. Thinking of her family Aqiao, she has to be tall, good-looking, and excellent craftsmanship, but it is not comparable to the embroidered pillows of the rich children, and naturally it is not prepared for an official lady like her.
Zhao felt awkward in his heart, and pretended to be worried that he would offend the prefect and didn't know what the consequences would be, and a good meal was tasteless.
There was nothing to say all night, and breakfast was sent by Qingmin to the Zhao family in a food box. Four plates of side dishes, the main dish is steamed buns and silver silk rolls, and there is also chicken noodle soup and japonica rice porridge served in a small soup pot.
Zhao was a little disappointed that he didn't eat with Mrs. An Guogong, but it seemed that it was also beneficial to eat by himself, at least more casually. It's also nice to have a hearty breakfast like this, so you can calm down and enjoy it. Although Ah Qiao has been carrying back silver in the past two years, it is enough for her to live a good life. But she has been used to it for most of her life, and she is reluctant to spend Aqiao's hard-earned money.
After Zhao and Xiuqin had breakfast, Qingmin said to Zhao while arranging the dishes in the food box: "When the slave maid took breakfast just now, she met my old man. The old man said that after breakfast, if you have time, please go to the living room to talk. Look at when you are free, tell the slave and the slave to lead you over. β
Zhao knew that Qi Younian was looking for her, he must be talking about Aqiao's family affairs, this is a matter of time or time, and she is not scared. She brought up her son with hard work, and the family affairs naturally have to be decided by her, the mother, even if she doesn't want Miss Zhou to be her daughter-in-law, the eldest brother and the fourth brother can't say anything.
After breakfast, Zhao rested for a while, called Qingmin to the reception room in the front yard, and told Xiuqin to rest in the room, if she was bored, she could walk around the yard and don't go far.
As long as Qi Younian and Zhang Wusi were in the hospitality room, they were really to ask Zhao's opinion on Wang Qiao's marriage.
The three of them sat down, chatted a few words, and talked about Aqiao's family affairs.
Qi Younian didn't do much foreshadowing, and said directly: "We are a group of big men, and many things are not thoughtful enough. However, Miss Zhou is a good child, and she is good with Ah Qiao, and what is even more rare is that Mrs. Zhou is also satisfied with Ah Qiao, so we want to fulfill these two children. What do you think, brother and sister, tell us about it. β
Behind a screen temporarily erected in the reception room, a pot of water was boiling on a small stove, and the slight sound of the kettle muffled out the sound of Ye Xinyan and Zhou Biyao, who were sitting next to the small table, occasionally moving their bodies.
Qi Younian was originally opposed to them eavesdropping on the elders' conversations, but Zhou Biyao begged again and again, saying that she wanted to know why the Zhao family was dissatisfied with her. Ye Xinyan also felt that it was better to let Zhou Biyao know the reason, than to think about it in her own heart.
So, taking advantage of the fact that the Zhao family had just arrived and didn't know much about the environment around the Qi family, Ye Xinyan asked people to place a screen in the hospitality room, and the two of them sat in it and eavesdropped.
Hearing Qi Younian ask a substantive topic, the two hurriedly listened with bated breath.
I only listened to the words of Zhang Wusi and Qi Younian outside, and asked, "Brother and sister, what happened to the niece you brought?" Is it ......, brother and sister, if we are still in a poor family, or if we have a family affair that has been decided a long time ago, it is reasonable to find a poor woman. But now that our life is better, we should choose a woman who can afford to support the faΓ§ade and can teach her children to marry according to our current family situation. β
Listening to Fourth Brother Zhang's words, he is not optimistic about Xiuqin?
Zhao sat in the lower position, just opposite Zhang Wusi, she raised her eyes to look at Zhang Wusi and said, "Fourth brother, even if we have a better life now, can we compare with the prefect's family background?" As for teaching the children, weren't the eldest brother and the four taught by a woman from a poor family? There is also Ah Qiao, my brother and daughter-in-law admit that they are illiterate and have never seen the world, but Ah Qiao is not the same as an excellent good boy? β
Qi Younian's eyes sank, and he said: "Miss Tuesday has been working with me for a few days, not to mention the dexterity, and the temperament is good." Don't worry about the younger siblings, you can look at the child first and then make a decision. β
Zhao looked at Qi Younian and Zhang Wusi seriously, stood up, bowed to the two of them, and said apologetically: "It's not that my brother and sister don't know what to do, we must disobey the two brothers." It's really that our door is too low to put down such a big Buddha. β
"Brother and sister don't need to see each other like this, they have something to sit down and say." Qi Younian said. He has never been married, and he doesn't know how to get along with his wife and daughter-in-law. However, as long as a family can be honest with each other, where does the big and small door come from? actually pulled out some big Buddha and small Buddha.
Zhang Wusi lived close to Wang Qi's family and was more familiar with the Zhao family, so she persuaded: "My younger brother and sister are Ah Qiao's mother, even if Miss Zhou's family background is better, as long as she and Ah Qiao are in love, I will respect my younger brother and sister, my mother-in-law." You don't have to worry at all, Miss Zhou is kind and not a bully child. β
Zhao sat back in his chair, shook his head, and said miserably: "I have suffered so much over the years to bring Ah Qiao up. Now that Aqiao is an adult and can do things, I finally breathe a sigh of relief and can make my son and daughter-in-law filial. But he married me a big Buddha, and I suffered all my life, and in the end I had to provide for my daughter-in-law...... What hope is there for this day? β
Zhao's words were miserable, but Qi Younian felt that something was wrong no matter how he heard it, "Brother and sister, even if Baguio has a good family background, she is your daughter-in-law, and she can be filial to you." β
Zhao smiled, lowered his head and said, "No one is in my situation, so naturally they won't know how much I have suffered when I pull Ah Qiao to grow up." No matter how sensible and virtuous Miss Zhou is, her identity is there, can she be driven by me and called by me?
For so many years, I gritted my teeth and held on, hoping that Ah Qiao would be able to make a career and marry a daughter-in-law who would be by my side at any time and serve me wholeheartedly. Can Miss Zhou do this? β
Zhao's tone was sad, and the atmosphere in the room became solemn.
Qi Younian sighed secretly, sure enough. His seventh brother and sister didn't want to marry Ah Qiao, she wanted a girl.
Ye Xinyan behind the screen glanced at Zhou Biyao, now you know, right? Your third brother Wang's mother wants a daughter-in-law who is completely up to her, can you do it?
I only heard Zhang Wusi speak outside, "Seventh brother and sister, Ah Qiao is now making a lot of money, and in the construction industry, the eldest brother still thinks about Ah Qiao's share." If your younger siblings feel that the housework is hard, let's buy a girl or a mother-in-law to serve you, wouldn't it be good? β
Zhao lowered his eyes and said bluntly: "The servant is just forced by the situation, how can he have the dedication of his daughter-in-law to serve." β
Zhang Wusi opened his mouth, and it took a long time before he said: "But Ah Qiao likes Miss Zhou, aren't we all for Ah Qiao?" "Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself? You're out, WeChat attention Beauty editor helps you find books! It's really a good book to flirt with girls!
