The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 118 The prince's heart, the best mother-in-law (1)
The girl tremblingly picked up the wooden box, opened it, and saw a white silk handkerchief inside...

This year's Chinese New Year, the Zhao family is very lively, not only relatives and friends come to pay New Year's greetings, but also many gentry and lords in the county also come to pay New Year's greetings to Zhao Shihua.Zhao Shihua insisted on his own principles. If there is little land, he can consider it, but a big landlord like Master Yao is determined not to.

So, those people found Zhao Shirong and Zhao Shifu, the Wang family and the He family, and the second elder of the Zhao family.

The two elders of the Zhao family listened to their son, and they did what his son said.No one can attack this place.

After Zhao Shirong heard what Zhao Shihua said, although he felt a little disapproving, why didn't he accept such benefits?Wouldn't it be fair and aboveboard to accept it?But Juren is his younger brother, not himself, so he can only listen to Zhao Shihua, and he will not let anyone say it, and he has offended many people for this.

After learning the lesson from last time, Mrs. Wang really changed a lot. Even though her eyes were shining when she saw the gifts sent by others, she reluctantly returned them all.

As soon as Zhao Shihua came back, Mrs. Rong went over to say hello to her. If she dared to accept other people's gifts and take matters into her own hands, Zhao Shirong would divorce her.Thinking of the letter of divorce, Wang had no choice but to be honest.

Zhao Shifu and He Shi thought of the hard times in the past, and thought about the happy life now, and felt very satisfied. Naturally, they did what the second brother said.

During the New Year’s Eve vigil, the whole family sits together, regardless of male or female. Everyone talks to each other, talking about the interesting things they have heard and their expectations for the coming year. Tea, snacks and snacks are prepared on the table. Eat a little from time to time so that you are less likely to get sleepy.

An Ran leaned on her father's chest, looked at the walnuts and pine nuts on the table, unexpectedly she had no appetite at all.Even when An Qi stripped it for her, she just took a symbolic taste, then shook her head and refused.She listened to the adults and tried her best to last until the end of Haishi, but she could no longer doze off in her father's arms.

At this time, she suddenly heard her father say: "The other day when I went back to the county to send Mr. Qian to Beijing, I met a strange person."

"Why is it so strange? Second uncle, tell me, I went with you, why didn't you see it?" The father-in-law went to Beijing, and Annan, the son-in-law, was naturally going to see him off.

Zhao Shihua recalled that day when Mr. Qian's family was sent off by the river, he was about to turn around and get into the carriage when he saw a young man whom he had never seen before approaching, bowed and asked, "Excuse me, sir, is Xiang Shaolong?"

Xiang Shaolong?Have not heard.Zhao Shihua only thought that the other party had misidentified the person, so he replied: "This little brother has misidentified the person? My surname is Zhao, my first name is Shihua, and my name is Shenglin. I wonder if that Brother Xiang has the same appearance as Sheng Lin?"

The young man didn't directly answer Zhao Shihua's words, but asked again: "Do you know Wei Xiaobao, my lord?"

Zhao Shihua shook his head: "I'm really sorry, little brother, you really misunderstood the person. Sheng Lin has never heard of this name."

The young man looked at Zhao Shihua strangely again, and finally left a sentence: "If Mr. Zhao thinks of these two people, he can go to Beijing to conspire with each other." Then he quickly disappeared on the pier.

The Zhao family only found it strange, and Zhao Maosheng sighed: "Perhaps I have admitted the wrong person! However, I heard that our ancestors of the Zhao family also worshiped the general of the Zhu Kingdom, but it was a pity that he fell down later. I don't know what the capital looks like. I only heard that it is very prosperous."

Rong made fun of his wife: "I haven't even been to the county seat, so I'm still thinking about the capital."

Zhao Shihua immediately said: "It's because the son is unfilial, he should pick up the elders to live in the county as soon as possible. Why don't my parents live with me in the county after the next year!"

Rong shook his head and said, "We're just talking. When you get old, you don't want to go anywhere."

Wang frowned and said: "Mother, I heard that there are many good things in the county, so why not go and see what's good? My daughter-in-law wants to go, but she can't go!"

Zhao Annan immediately said: "Mother, when my son is successful in the future, I will take you with me."

Wang looked back at her son and daughter-in-law, and smiled proudly: "My brother Nan is filial! Mother is waiting for you to take the exam for a scholar and win the first prize!"

Although everyone felt that Wang's words were a bit arrogant, at least it was a good idea. Who would not look forward to the number one scholar?This time, no one refuted Wang's words.

Everyone was talking one after another, but An Ran had already woken up, how could she sleep?It seems that the rapeseed oil and the recycled rice still caught the attention of the third prince, but he thought that the person who crossed over was Daddy.Collusion?Does he still want to fight for the throne?

"Father, are you going to Beijing to take the exam next year?" An Ran asked anxiously.If Dad went to Beijing, if the Third Prince knew that she was the first to propose these things, what would he do?Are you happy to find a fellow villager and take care of their family, or are you afraid that someone will kill her if she knows the truth?

Zhao Shihua patted An Ran's head and said, "I won't go next year, Dad will wait three years before taking the exam."

Zhao Maosheng nodded and said: "It's fine to wait for three years. You read the books at home, and you also point out a few children and Qingyuan. If Qingyuan wins the exam in three years, you just go together."

Zhao Shihua nodded with a smile and said: "Brother Nan is very knowledgeable. I will ask more questions, listen more and read more. It shouldn't be a big problem to be a scholar within three years. Brother Qi still needs to work hard, and strive to be a scholar within five years." !"

"Yes, thank you Second Uncle!"

"Son will definitely work hard!"

After midnight, the family dispersed and returned to their rooms to rest.

Living in the hometown for more than half a month, An Ran got along well with her cousins. The big sister's wedding is scheduled for March, and now she is working hard to embroider the dowry, and Wang is also preparing the dowry for the big cousin.For this reason, she complained to Gu Wanniang and Zhao Shihua every three days, saying that the girl from Juren's family got married, and the dowry was so thin that it didn't look good.

Zhao Shihua and Gu Wanniang are not stingy people, otherwise they would not have taken the money to build a house for everyone to live together, and they were also responsible for the expenses of the whole family, but Wang's natural appearance is really annoying.

Although the Wang family is disgusting, An Shu is the granddaughter of Zhao's parents. Zhao Shihua and Gu Wanniang watched her grow up, and they have loved her a lot since she was a child. That child was originally like a father, tolerant and tolerant, and people like it.Now a big family needs to be raised, and there are servants and long-term workers who have to deal with favors, and the expenses are not small.Gu Wanniang settled the accounts, kept the necessary money, and squeezed out another 100 taels of silver to Wang.She had already given Wang 200 taels of silver before.
