Sure enough, as Zhao Hong expected, Zhu Dayou made a lot of work after learning that Zhao Hong had withdrawn from the marriage, and planned to suppress Zhao Hong.

As the largest medicinal herb merchant, Zhu Dayou wanted to cut off Zhao Hong's trading in the medicinal materials industry, which was originally a matter of one sentence, but anyone who engaged in this business did not give him face.

But Zhao Hong has two more Shen families as support, and Zhu Dayou wants to suppress Zhao Hong, so he has to attack these two families, and he naturally can't act so quickly.

Zhao Hong's way of fighting back was also simple, he directly wrote a letter and a few prescriptions, and asked Zhao Ji to go to the county seat to find Master Shen.

The world is full of profits, even if Young Master Shen is not a personal friend, he will want the position of the top spot of the medicinal herb business, after all, he is a person who has a son now, how can he want his son to be hindered when he inherits the family business in the future?

How busy the Shen family is, Zhao Hong doesn't know, the benefits she can provide are enough, and then it depends on the wrist of the young master Shen.

And Zhao Hong also ushered in his first New Year in this strange time and space, feeling the atmosphere of the ancients for the New Year, and finally experiencing the taste of the New Year.

"Give my mother a New Year's greeting, and wish my mother a smoother year by year."

"New Year's greetings to grandma, I wish grandma a long and healthy life."

"New Year's greetings to my aunt, I wish my aunt good luck."

Zhao Lingxiu took four small ones to kowtow to Zhao Hong for the New Year, and this year Shen Nanxing also stayed in the Zhao family for the New Year, which is one of the sincerity of the Shen family.

"Okay, good, you all have New Year's money, and I wish you all peace and joy, and your wishes come true."

Zhao Hongle was red, looking at a few red juniors, I only felt that my heart was warm, and sure enough, it was still Chinese red and festive.

"New Year's greetings to Madame, young ladies, and young masters."

The next person followed closely and kowtowed for half a year, and the auspicious words naturally went out as if they didn't want money.

Zhao Hong is also generous, everyone rewarded a red envelope of one or two silver, and Zhao Lingxiu also had a few examples, but the red envelope they gave was only two pennies, just auspicious.

The Chinese New Year's Eve was not observant, and Zhao Hong took out the coffee stored in the space and gave the children a cup to drink, so that they could refresh themselves, but no more would work.

It's not that Zhao Hong is stingy, but that children can't be greedy for coffee when they drink coffee, otherwise it will damage the spleen and stomach.

This is Zhao Hong's first New Year here, and it is also the first time since his parents passed away, and he is no longer lonely with his family.

Accompanying a few little ones to play the games she played when she was a child, Zhao Hong only felt as if she had found a long-lost sense of happiness again, which made her want to do her best to protect everything.

It wasn't until a few young people fell asleep that Zhao Lingxiu sat down next to Zhao Hong and asked in a low voice, "Mother, it seems that I have seen you so happy for the first time." ”

"Of course I'm happy for the New Year." I can't say what I was hiding in my heart, Zhao Hong took Zhao Lingxiu's hand, patted it lightly twice, and said, "Although my mother wants you to marry a few years later, she should also show you after the beginning of spring." Recruiting a son-in-law is different from anything else, and you have to look at each other for a few years to determine your character. ”

"Mother, I'm not married." Zhao Lingxiu blushed and said shyly: "I will stay with my mother, my mother doesn't dislike me." ”

Looking at Zhao Lingxiu's shy and timid face, Zhao Honghu asked suspiciously, "Are you a favorite person?" ”

"Mother!" Zhao Lingxiu's face turned even redder, as if it was on fire, and she turned her body around.

Seeing this, Zhao Hong still didn't understand anything.

However, Zhao Lingxiu rarely goes out alone, and there was no suitable person when he was in the embroidery workshop before, but he had a sweetheart at home, which called Zhao Hong's heart.

The Zhao family is the same sect, and it is impossible, so there are almost only the Zhou family and the people who do things for Zhao Hong.

"Is it the Zhou family?" Zhao Hong is almost certain.

Zhao Lingxiu hung his head and refused to respond, but he didn't deny it, Zhao Hong was even more sure that he guessed correctly.

"Mother asks you, the boy of the Zhou family you like, does he also like you?" Zhao Hong is terrible about her daughter's unrequited love, so she can't give up her cheeks to pull the strings.

Married to the Zhou family, the two families are neighbors, so it can't be said that they are married far away, and Zhao Hong can rest assured.

The key is that the children of the Zhou family have good character, and Zhou Xinghua's mother-in-law is also good, so Zhao Lingxiu does not have to face a complicated mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship when she marries.

"Hmm." Zhao Lingxiu responded very quietly, burying her head lower, Zhao Hong was afraid that she would burrow into the kang hole.

"My mother didn't say anything to you, as long as you are affectionate and polite, my mother will not stop you. But you are a girl's family, if the two of you really fall in love with each other, then let your Aunt Zhou come to propose, our Zhao family's daughter is not interested in sneaking around. Zhao Hong expressed his support.

Zhao Lingxiu's face was so red that he could drip out ketchup, and his voice was smaller than a mosquito and said: "Brother Zhou Xing hasn't seen each other's relatives yet, how can Brother Zhou Wang get past him." ”

Zhao Hong also pondered that it should be Zhou Wang, who loves embroidery, the two had a lot of contact when they did embroidery before, and they often exchanged embroidery samples after that, Zhao Lingxiu can be said to be Zhou Wang's entry master.

If it was really these two people together, Zhao Hong would be very relieved.

However, what Zhao Lingxiu said is also right, the ancients have always attached great importance to the distinction between the elder and the young, and before Zhou Xingding's relatives, it is difficult to talk about Zhou Wang's relatives.

But the marriage is not a marriage, and it is not so strict, Zhao Hong thought for a while and said to Zhao Lingxiu: "You listen to your mother about this, first communicate with Zhou Wang, and let him inform your Aunt Zhou." It's good that you are happy with each other, but how to arrange this matter, you have to be the master of the matter. If there is a rumor, it will not only be bad for the two of you, but also bad for the rest of the family. ”

"Then I'll listen to my mother." Zhao Lingxiu responded simply, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Zhao Hong with no face, covered his face and ran back to his house.

Zhao Hong knew in his heart that he couldn't run away from this family business.

Although I don't know what the future will look like, it's better to be happy with each other than blind marriage and dumb marriage, isn't it?

The next day, Zhou Xinghua came to the door and took Zhao Hong's hand and said.

There is no need to ask, Zhou Xinghua only knew about this stubble, and she couldn't close her mouth happily, and the whole Zhou family was not unhappy about this kiss and kiss.

"Zhao Hong, if you agree, after fifteen, I will find a matchmaker to come to the door to ask for marriage. Our family's life is not as good as yours', but after Zhou Wang gets married, let them go out and go alone. I won't say much on the side, our family treats Lingxiu as a daughter, and we will never let her be wronged. Zhou Xinghua promised.

Zhao Hong knew that the Zhou family would not treat Zhao Lingxiu badly, so when he heard this, he said: "I can trust this, but your family has more than one son Zhou Wang, you can't favor one over the other, and in the future, other daughters-in-law will be wronged, which is a sign of discord in the family." ”

"Our family doesn't pick a dowry, it's a heart. Your family can't pick how much our family gives as much as the dowry, I will be Lingxiu, the girl to be married, and the remaining few young ones who want to marry don't know how many teenagers they have, so they have to hurt Lingxiu a little more. ”

Zhao Hong has integrated himself into this identity, so the preparation of a heavy dowry for Zhao Lingxiu is from the heart.

Zhou Xinghua knew that Zhao Hong would not treat Zhao Lingxiu badly, and before coming to ventilate, the family was also worried about this, afraid that the dowry would be too shabby, and that it would be difficult to say that the other sons would marry again in the future.

In fact, even if the Zhou family uses all their family resources, it can't withstand the dowry given by the Zhao family.

Now that Zhao Hong's words are available, Zhou Xinghua has a number in her heart, and hurriedly said: "If you can understand my difficulties, then I will know what to do." Zhao Hong, let me assure you, no matter how much dowry Lingxiu has, it will be her own. She is willing to spend it in a small family, I don't care as a mother-in-law, but others don't want to beat her dowry. ”
