Chapter 23 She can be her own sister-in-law

Zhao Yan lowered her eyes and looked at those pom-pom-like kittens.

"This one is the best."

The lady guarding the stall selected a kitten and handed it to Ye Ruoling: "Girl, look at it, the color of the two eyes is different." ”

Ye Ruoling took a closer look: "Really, Grandma, look at it." ”

The kitten was snow-white, without a trace of stray hair, and its two round cat's eyes were amber and the other was a clear sapphire blue.

Zhao Yan couldn't help but take a look: "It's very special." ”

"I want to buy it." Ye Ruoling asked, "Auntie, how much silver is this?" ”

"I've never had eyes like this before." The eldest lady stretched out a hand: "Five taels." ”

She was afraid that Ye Ruoling would not buy it, so she added: "If you choose something else, you only need half a penny." ”

"It's so cheap." Ye Ruoling hugged the cat and turned her head and instructed the maidservant: "Give the silver." ”

Zhao Yan wanted to speak, but when she saw this, she silently shut up.

The lady is naturally very grateful, and she has a basket of good words.

"Grandma, do you want it?" Ye Ruoling asked her, "I'll give you one?" ”

"No, you don't." Zhao Yan shook her head.

She doesn't know what will happen to her tomorrow, why should she miss these little lives?

"It's so cute, hug you." Ye Ruoling put the kitten in her arms.

Zhao Yan lowered her eyes and looked at it, a small fluffy ball, nestled on her arm very obediently, she raised her hand and stroked it, and said to Ye Ruoling: "Why didn't you bargain?"

The seller clearly opened his mouth, and the cat could be bought for two taels of silver at most. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Only then did Ye Ruoling react and looked back.

"I want to say, what are you going to say when you give all the money?" Zhao Yan glanced at her.

"I'll go to her." Ye Ruoling said that he was going to go.

"It's all sold, what else are you looking for?" Zhao Yan grabbed her: "Next time, I will have a long snack."

Is it the boat? ”

"It should be." Ye Ruoling looked at the people on the dock: "Isn't that the maidservant in front of Zhao Ruxiu?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yan bowed her head.

The two of them each brought a maidservant girl and went to the painting boat, and the kitten was still nesting in Zhao Yan's arms, squinting as if she was asleep.

Outside the cabin, a maidservant girl saw Zhao Yan and hurriedly turned around and went inside.

But after a while, Zhao Yuehua greeted her: "Miss Ye, eldest sister." ”

"I was not invited, I came without permission, and I was disturbed." Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Yuehua with a slight smile between her eyebrows.

Zhao Yuehua never expected Zhao Yan to come uninvited, and she said it so bluntly, there were a few noble girls on the side, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Yuehua, didn't you invite your eldest sister?"

"This kind of thing, it shouldn't be, the people next to me don't invite, but they also want to invite the eldest sister......"

"Unless the eldest sister can't come because of something......"

A few noble ladies said that they had heard that the sisters of the Huai'an Hou Mansion were not in harmony, and this time they were called to meet.

"How is it possible, I gave an invitation to the eldest sister." Zhao Yuehua was afraid that others would say that she was not good, so she was in a hurry and reprimanded the maidservant girl on the side: "Did you neglect when you sent the post?" ”

"Yes, it's probably because the slaves missed the big girl's post......"

What can a handmaid say?

Knock out the teeth and swallow the blood.

"I'll deal with you when I get back." Zhao Yuehua warned in a low voice, and saluted Zhao Yan again: "Eldest sister, it's all because I didn't teach them well, so I let them make such a big mistake, I apologized to the eldest sister, and please don't blame the eldest sister." ”

"No blame, you didn't mean to." Zhao Yan smiled and groaned, and she couldn't see the slightest displeasure.

Ye Ruoling watched and admired from the side, her aunt is amazing, and she turned against the guest in a few words.

"Come in, please." Zhao Yuehua got out of the way, and ordered: "Everyone is together, let's start the boat." ”

The boat slowly headed towards the middle of the river.

"Let one go, let one go."

At this time, Zhao Ruxiu's voice came out.

It sounds like he's opening the way for someone.

"Let me see, who's coming?"

Then came a delicate voice.

"Be careful." Zhao Yuehua politely moved out of the way with a few people around her.

Zhao Ruxiu cautiously helped a delicate beauty to walk out.

The girl was delicate and slender, and she looked weak.

Zhao Yan looked at this scene, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, no wonder she didn't see Zhao Ruxiu come out and raise her eyebrows today, she was busy currying favor with others.

"This is Zhou Yu's sick beauty sister, named Zhou Jinyu." Ye Ruoling whispered in Zhao Yan's ear.

Zhao Yan bowed slightly.

She guessed.

can be treated like this by sisters Zhao Yuehua and Zhao Ruxiu, and they are a sick beauty, who else can there be?

Zhou Yu's younger sister, she had heard of it before, and it was the first time she had met.

"Who is she?" Zhou Jinyu's complexion was a little unhealthily pale, and he covered his lips and coughed twice.

"This is my sister." Zhao Yuehua stepped forward to explain.

Zhou Jinyu glanced at Zhao Yuehua up and down, and there was undisguised disgust in his eyes: "The infamous Zhao Yan? ”

"Eldest sister, she may have a hard ......" Zhao Yuehua wanted to speak and stopped, because of her reputation as gentle and virtuous, she had to say so.

Zhao Ruxiu laughed out loud: "Miss Zhou, do you know her too?" ”

"Zhao Ruxiu, what are you laughing at?" Ye Ruoling couldn't help but speak: "Grandma is your sister, she was said like this, are you quite happy?" ”

"She doesn't fight herself, is she still to blame me?" Zhao Ruxiu snorted lightly.

"The wound on the third sister's hand has not healed, and she is really enthusiastic about serving the guests like a maid." Zhao Yan stroked the kitten in her arms and spoke unhurriedly.

She didn't care what Zhou Jinyu said.

Her enemies have always been the Fuguo Mansion and the Huai'an Marquis Mansion.

Other people, as long as they don't provoke her too much, it doesn't hurt to say that the sky is broken.

There were already a few noble ladies who couldn't get used to Zhao Ruxiu shooting Zhou Jinyu's ass like this, and they all laughed when they heard the words.

"What is like a servant?" Zhao Ruxiu suddenly became anxious: "Miss Zhou, she is weak......"

"I understand, I don't need to say much." Zhao Yan glanced at her with a smile and walked towards the cabin.

"You, get rid of the cat." Zhou Jinyu stretched out his finger and pointed, using a commanding tone.

"Why?" Zhao Yan frowned slightly.

Zhou Yu's sister doesn't seem to be ordinarily difficult.

"Why?" Ye Ruoling held Zhao Yan and stretched out her hand to protect the kitten.

"I'll cough when there's a cat." Zhou Jinyu looked right.

"I'll settle it." Zhao Yan ignored her, and turned sideways into the cabin beside her.

"Pretentious." Ye Ruoling looked back at Zhou Jinyu and muttered in a low voice.

"Don't look for trouble." Zhao Yan walked straight through the cabin to the stern of the ship.

The owner of the same boat asked for a small wooden box for miscellaneous items, put the kitten in it, and placed it at the door of the cabin.

The two then entered the cabin again.

This cabin was originally built for play, it was very large, and there were more than a dozen girls in it, and it did not seem crowded.

There are large windows open on the side, the breeze is coming, and the beautiful scenery on the river is also refreshing.

Zhao Yuehua summoned these sisters over, she was full of interest and a little proud.

After all, marrying Zhou Yu is the dream of many girls in this imperial capital, she has realized this dream, and she is the only one who has realized it.

This is something to boast about.

But now that Zhao Yan is here, she has to be careful about everything she says, for fear of saying something wrong, Zhao Yan suddenly got up and lifted the coffee table.

She knows very well that Zhao Yan can do everything.

Fortunately, she was cautious and ate two cups of tea, but Zhao Yan didn't speak, just held her cheeks and looked at her with a smile.

At first, those girls also paid attention to Zhao Yan, after all, they had only heard of Zhao Yan's reputation, and they had never met her like this in private.

After a long time, Zhao Yan didn't have any inappropriate behavior, so they didn't care anymore and talked to each other.

The atmosphere seems to be very harmonious.

The kitten outside barked, Ye Ruoling got some goat milk to feed, and came back and said to Zhao Yan: "I don't eat goat milk, I guess I haven't been weaned yet, I miss my mother." ”

"It'll be fine in a few days." Zhao Yan comforted her.

At this time, a girl coaxed Zhao Yuehua and asked if Zhou Yu treated her well.

Zhao Yuehua replied shyly and refused to say.

Zhou Jinyu snorted disdainfully: "My brother treats me the best." ”

She didn't like Zhao Yuehua, and even hated it, she didn't want her brother to marry a wife at all.

The ladies were curious about how Zhou Yu treated Zhou Jinyu on weekdays, and asked nonsense.

"Look at her frivolity." Ye Ruoling leaned over to Zhao Yan and whispered: "If it weren't for the fact that brother and sister couldn't get married, she could be her sister-in-law herself." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Yan patted her, but made her laugh.

No one noticed that Zhao Ruxiu quietly walked out of the cabin.
