Chapter 400: Don't You Have Your Own Clothes?
The dishes on the table are exquisite, even the flask is delicately decorated with cloisonnΓ© enamel.
Mrs. Pan and the two sisters-in-law of the Zhao family also came out to accompany the guests, all of them were glamorous, and their eyes were also eager.
At the wine table, Zhao Mingtang said unintentionally about his two sisters-in-law: "They are both teenagers, and they can't be ...... martial arts."
Chen Huaixian listened with a smile and only said: "The two sons are still young, so there is no need to worry." β
Zhao Mingtang smiled dryly: "How can you not be in a hurry...... I had to persuade myself like this, hoping that the two bastard boys would be more sensible in the future. β
The two sisters-in-law also took the opportunity to get up and toasted Chen Huaixian: "Please also ask Master Hou for more advice in the future." β
Chen Huaixian bowed slightly, didn't admit it, but didn't shirk it: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say......"
The two were greeting each other, when they suddenly heard a sound of lotus steps moving lightly and clanging around them, and then a deliberately coquettish woman's voice sounded: "Daddy......"
Zhao Mingtang made a sudden and apologetic look: "Oh, Hou Ye Chen, this is my little daughter, cherish the clouds, why don't you come and see Hou Ye soon......"
Zhao Xiyunlian walked over step by step and saluted Chen Huaixian: "Xiyun greets the Hou Ye." β
After saluting, Zhao Xiyun boldly raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Huaixian, and the surprise in his eyes flashed.
This man is also too tall and mighty: with a full beard and a tall and straight figure, it is very oppressive to look at.
Maybe it's because the stubble is too lush, and he looks much older than he really is.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
He is a mighty marquis.
Chen Huaixian raised his hand slightly, and his tone was gentle: "Miss Zhao doesn't have to be polite. β
Zhao Mingtang was not disgusted when he saw Chen Huaixian, and immediately felt that there was a play, and laughed.
"The little girl Xiyun heard that Marquis Chen was brave and good at fighting, and returned with a great victory, and admired it very much, so she dared to come and admire the heroic demeanor......"
Chen Huaixian still bowed slightly, but suddenly interrupted Zhao Mingtang's words: "Lord Zhao only has this one daughter? β
Zhao Mingtang's laughter paused instantly: What's the matter? He is not satisfied with Xiyun?
He subconsciously looked at his stepwife, Pan.
Mrs. Pan's face also changed slightly, and she replied with a forced smile: "There are still a few concubines in the family, and their status is low, so I don't dare to let them come out to disturb the distinguished guests." β
"Oh? That concubine is the only one? β
Mrs. Pan was stunned again, and her eyes for help immediately looked at Zhao Mingtang: Master, what's going on!?
Zhao Mingtang laughed dryly: "There is also a concubine in the family, because she has been practicing medicine outside all the year round, there are no rules, I am afraid of bumping into the distinguished guest, so I didn't dare to call her out......"
"Practicing medicine outside? That's a salvation! This kind of compassion is admirable! Chen Huaixian immediately showed an interested look.
Zhao Mingtang was helpless, so he had to say: "Then I asked her to come out to give a gift to the Hou Ye?" β
Chen Huai appeared and leaned back: "Okay." β
Zhao Zhi was in his small courtyard, watching the servants and women sprinkle dust all over the sky, and before he finished cleaning, he heard the sound of hurried running in the front yard coming to this side.
As soon as the person entered the courtyard, he urged one after another: "Miss, the master in front asked you to meet the guests, please freshen up and dress up immediately and go to meet the guests." β
Zhao Zhi was not annoyed when he heard this, pointed to the dusty courtyard and sneered: "Where to freshen up and dress up?" Is it here? β
The servants who were moving paused, and instantly regretted that they deliberately didn't sprinkle water just now and gave the eldest lady a dismount.
Ask someone to catch it, and delay the master in the front yard to let the eldest lady see the guest, but I'm afraid that I will eat and hang up!
So the servants immediately sprinkled and sprinkled the water, and scrubbed the windows.
The housekeeper was also taken aback: these damn things, can't they tell the priorities?!
But now is not the time to care, she pointed to the yard next door: "Is it okay to go to the second lady's yard to freshen up?" β
Zhao Zhi said coldly: "No." I'm right here, when I'm done cleaning up here, when I'm going to freshen up again. β
The housekeeper was so anxious that she sweated: "Are you all dead?" Not yet! β
"Yes!"
The servants didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly, and the broom rags almost picked out the afterimage, and they were so tired that they were panting, and they were choking on the dust and coughing.
I finally finished a clean time, and the time for a stick of incense has passed.
The housekeeper's mother-in-law sneered: "Miss, you should be considerate of your mother-in-law, and change your clothes to meet the guests first, right?" It's too late, and the old man should be angry again. β
Zhao Zhi didn't want to go, but he thought that he was not in the capital all the year round, and his mother's grave sometimes needed to be cleaned by his father......
That's it......
"Okay."
In the front yard, Chen Huaixian was unhurried, taking a sip of wine from time to time, but he refused to drink more, only smiled faintly at Zhao Mingtang, and ate two mouthfuls of food socially.
Zhao Mingtang could clearly see that Chen Huaixian was absent-minded.
Absent-minded and didn't get up to say goodbye, and looked at the door from time to time, the purpose was obvious!
He's waiting to see his other sister-in-law!
Although that concubine is not as obedient as the one in front of her, as long as it is her own daughter, which one to marry?
As long as the mighty marquis is his son-in-law, it is impossible for him to ignore his own family!
Zhao Mingtang couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the steward: "Don't you want to urge yet?" β
The steward trotted away, and after a while, he heard the sound of the ring, and a tall figure in a pale pink dress appeared at the door.
Chen Huaixian couldn't help but look forward to it, and looked at it carefully.
It was Zhao Zhi who entered the door.
Zhao Zhi, who was dressed in a pink women's dress, had several golden hairpins on his head, and also wore a set of gold-inlaid jade earrings and collars on his head......
At first glance, it seems to be carefully dressed, but Chen Huaixian can see at a glance: this dress and accessories do not match Zhao Zhi's temperament and appearance at all!
It's like borrowing a girl's clothes and jewelry to wear out!
The look of pity in Chen Huaixian's eyes flashed, and he said bluntly: "This makeup is not suitable for you." β
Mrs. Pan's heart jumped, and she went to see Zhao Mingtang with some weakness, for fear that Zhao Mingtang would see the clue.
Fortunately, Zhao Mingtang did not study women's clothing matching, but just smiled and explained to Chen Huaixian.
"My daughter has been practicing medicine all year round and doesn't usually dress up...... Let Hou Ye smile. β
Zhao Xiyun couldn't help but be proud, took a step forward, and took Zhao Zhi's hand in a fake way: "Sister, are you back?" It's been a long time since I've seen you......"
"If you don't have the right clothes, you can go to me, and my sister will help you match them."
Zhao Zhi had a cold face, ignoring Zhao Xiyun, but he was complaining to Chen Huaixian with his eyes: Suddenly came to my house, and specified that he wanted to see me, was it to see that I was embarrassed?
At this time, Chen Huaixian still nodded in agreement: "This dress and jewelry doesn't look like yours, but like your sister's." Don't you have your own clothes at home? β
"Aren't you Lord Zhao's daughter-in-law?" (End of chapter)
