Chapter 25: Birthday Celebration

A few days later, Mrs. Tianhebo Wang visited the mansion and saw the girl of the Zhao family, and took Zhao Yuzhen's hand and praised affectionately: "He is a good boy, polite, dignified and generous." ”

Zhao Yuzhen hung her head shyly, and Mrs. Zhao laughed twice and said, "Yuzhen is a country girl, and she can afford such praise from her wife." ”

"Affordable, affordable, the girl trained by the old lady, that's first-class good." Mrs. Tianhe complimented with a smile, and took the opportunity to pull out the jade bracelet on her wrist and put it on Zhao Yuzhen.

"Madam, you really can't ask for this jade bracelet." Zhao Yuzhen excused.

"The elders can't give away." Mrs. Tianhe touched her hand, and her eyes were full of satisfaction.

Zhao Yuzhen looked at Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao bowed slightly, and Zhao Yuzhen accepted the jade bracelet, "Mrs. Xie." ”

After a few polite words, Mrs. Zhao asked the girls to retreat, and Mrs. Tianhe Bo reluctantly pulled Zhao Yuzhen and said, "I like it when I look at Yuzhen, and I will come to the house to play when I have time in the future." ”

Zhao Yuzhen pursed her lips and smiled: "As long as Madame doesn't think Yuzhen is shallow, Yuzhen will often bother Madame." ”

"You can come to see me, I can only be happy, how can I dislike it." Mrs. Tianhe Bo smiled.

After a few words of gossip, Zhao Yuzhen withdrew with his sisters.

Mrs. Tianhe said directly: "Old lady, I don't like to talk around the bend, I can say whatever I want, I came here today to discuss with the old lady the relationship between the dog and Yuzhen." ”

"Thank you Mrs. for your love, it's just that Yuzhen is still young, and the old body never thought of marrying her so early." Although Mrs. Zhao really wants to marry this family, she still has to put on a posture.

Raise your head to marry your daughter, bow your head to marry your daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Tianhebo was not surprised by Mrs. Zhao's tone, and said with a smile: "Old lady, I am sincere, I want to ask for Xiao'er to marry Yuzhen, and I ask the old lady to agree." ”

"Yuzhen's father and brother are all commoners, so if you can climb to the son of Bofu, Mrs. should think about it and make a decision." Old Madam Zhao said this deliberately.

Mrs. Tianhe Bo smiled: "Yuzhen is gentle and virtuous, I like it when I see it, and I am willing to let her be my daughter-in-law." ”

One of the two pretended to be reserved and refused, and the other pretended to be sincere in asking for marriage.

After talking back and forth a few times, Mrs. Zhao smiled and said: "Madame values Yuzhen, it is Yuzhen's blessing, Yuzhen will be on the nineteenth day of the first month next year, I wonder if Madame will have time to be a guest for her?" ”

According to the customs of this dynasty, and the guests at the ceremony, they generally invite the girl's future mother-in-law.

When Mrs. Zhao said this, she agreed to marry equally.

"I'm not free, I'll take the time to do it." Mrs. Tianhe Bo smiled.

The family matter was preliminarily negotiated, and both of them were very happy, Mrs. Zhao stayed with Mrs. Tianhe for dinner, and Zhao Yuzhen was arranged to accompany Mrs. Tianhebo.

"Madame, taste the white fish juice lips." Zhao Yuzhen sandwiched a chopstick dish and put it in Mrs. Tianhebo's bowl.

"It's sweet and fresh, and it's very good." Mrs. Tianhe smiled softly, and after eating the food, "You don't have to take care of me all the time, and you can also take in some things yourself." ”

"It's my blessing to be able to serve my wife well." Zhao Yuzhen smiled shyly.

"Good boy." Mrs. Tianhe Bo smiled and praised.

Under Zhao Yuzhen's careful service, Mrs. Tianhebo was very happy and satisfied with the meal, and she liked Zhao Yuzhen more and more.

Seeing that Zhao Yuzhen was liked by Mrs. Tianhebo, Zhao Yuyan and the others were very envious.

Fang Baozhu even pulled up Zhao Yuzhen's arm, looked at the jade bracelet, and said: "The water color of this jade bracelet is good, smooth and shiny, and it is worth at least a thousand taels of silver." ”

"Wow! Is it worth so much? Zhao Yuyan and others exclaimed.

"True sister, Mrs. Tianhe is so good to you!"

Zhao Yuzhen tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't laugh at the bottom of his eyes.

Two days later, on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Mrs. Zhao was thirty-eight years old.

Although it is a scattered birth, Zhao Kuang is now the largest official in the Zhao family, and his wife celebrates her birthday, even if she does not have a big feast, she must prepare more than a dozen tables of banquets, which is lively and lively.

Zhao Wangshu was very happy when he saw his mother who came to drink the birthday wine, knowing that his mother came to drink the birthday wine to see her, after all, a few years ago, the mother did not come to the mansion to drink wine.

"Mother, this is the house I live in, look, is it okay?"

Zhao Li looked around, checked the thickness of the bedding, the charcoal stove, the fire dragon, etc., and made sure that the mansion did not treat Zhao Wangshu badly, so he said with satisfaction: "It's okay." ”

The mother and daughter sat down in the room for a while, said a few thoughtful words, and then came out and went to the banquet room, where they met Mrs. Zhao and her sister-in-law Zhong Zhu halfway.

When Zhong Zhu saw Zhao Wangshu, his eyes lit up, and when he sat down with Second Mrs. Zhao in the warm pavilion, she asked: "Eldest sister, that girl just now looks really handsome, is she a child of the Zhao family?" How old is this year? ”

Second Mrs. Zhao glanced at her and said, "She's not something you can climb." ”

"Eldest sister, it is a good thing that the in-laws' family is prosperous, but the mother's family is the confidence of the married girl, Qiao'er is now seventeen years old, and she will enter the imperial examination after the year, and she will be able to go to high school, if the Zhong and Zhao families can kiss each other, it will be even better." Zhong Zhu looked at Second Mrs. Zhao with expectant eyes.

Second Mrs. Zhao's mind was not completely confused, and she waved her hand, "Not to mention that Qiao'er is still white now, even if she becomes an official, she is just a low-level petty official, and the old lady can't look down on it." ”

"Isn't this a big sister with your help." Zhong Zhu said with a smile.

"I can't help with this, the Yuzhen you saw earlier, do you know which family the old lady promised her?"

"I've heard that it seems to be the prince of Tianhe Mansion, it can't be true, right?"

"It's true." Second Mrs. Zhao picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, "Yuzhen has an ordinary appearance, she is married to a Bofu, and she is a person like Shu Tianxian, Qiao'er is not blessed." ”

It is not a good thing for ordinary people to marry a beautiful wife, and it is not a good thing to be able to marry into the door, so you have to protect it.

Zhong Zhu said unhappily: "Eldest sister, Qiao'er is your nephew, you are talking too much." ”

In Zhong Zhu's heart, her son is more than enough for the immortals.

"To tell you the truth, if you don't want to hear it, then I won't talk about it, and you don't want to think about kissing back, I really can't be the master of this matter." Second Mrs. Zhao did not hide it at her mother's house, and she couldn't speak at her mother-in-law's house.

"Eldest sister, Qiao'er's family affairs, you have to take it to heart." Among the rich and noble families that the Zhong Zhu family can come into contact with, the Zhao family has the highest official position, and the Zhong family is entangled with the increasingly prosperous Zhao family to death.

"Let's talk about it when Qiao'er is in the office, don't worry." Second Mrs. Zhao still wants to bring her mother's family with her selfishness.

When Zhong Zhu heard this, he knew that Second Mrs. Zhao still wanted to kiss and kiss, and said with a smile: "I thank his aunt for Qiao'er." ”

At this time, the maidservant girl said outside the door: "Second wife, the old lady is looking for you over there." ”

"Day by day, it's not enough to have so many girls and mothers-in-law to serve, you have to look for me." Second Mrs. Zhao complained, took out the purse that had been prepared a long time ago from the drawer and threw it to Zhong Zhu's family.

The purse was light and fluttering, and there was no weight, Zhong Zhu pinched it, smiled, and quickly put it away.

The two sisters-in-law left the room and went to the banquet hall.
