Several carriages arrived at the foot of the mountain, and the sun was already very high. Li Zonghua stood beside Old Lady Li and called the sedan chairman who had been arranged long ago. After helping his grandmother get into the sedan chair, he secretly looked at the girls.

The four slim girls, only one wearing a red trouser, was undoubtedly the one I saw on the road.

The girl is quite tall, and Li Zonghua is satisfied again. He is born tall and strong, and he also hopes to find a slightly taller girl, not like her elder brother and sister-in-law, and it is awkward to look at each other when standing together.

If a person is satisfied, he doesn't know what kind of temperament is.

Due to etiquette, Li Zonghua didn't look at it anymore and walked up the mountain next to his grandmother's sedan chair.

Zeng Xuerou relied on the person behind to look at the man's back carefully, and she was wearing a hat on her head, so she was not afraid of the man turning back suddenly.

Li Zonghua is tall and long, with ape-armed and bee-waisted waist. No matter how you look, you look back at the quick glance in the carriage, Zeng Xuerou smiled. Li Zonghua's appearance is naturally not comparable to his cousin, but what are men so good at doing? With her current situation, instead of giving her a handsome man, it is better to give her a husband with status, ability and reliability, a man who will not dislike her background but is willing to help her take care of her younger brother. Of course, she does not have the capital to ask for so much at once. As long as she marrys a slightly not bad man first, she will work hard to get it herself in the future.

Swaying and swaying, everyone arrived outside the gate of Longen Temple.

Old Lady Li Jun and Grandmaster walked in the front, Old Lady Ji and Mrs. Guo walked side by side, Aji wanted to call two naughty sisters to follow her, but Guo Baozhu deliberately pulled Lin Zhu to the end. Aji in public didn't care about them, so she walked with Zeng Xuerou.

After celebrating incense in turn, Old Lady Li sent Li Zonghua to stroll elsewhere, and the women went to the guest room to rest.

Guo Baozhu smiled and asked her mother for instructions: "Mom, Azhu is here for the first time to come to Longen Temple. Can I take her to the back mountain to enjoy the flowers?" She and Lin Zhu had no interest in Li Zonghua, so why bother to join in the fun?

Mrs. Guo didn't want her daughter to run wild, but Old Mrs. Ji was very happy and said kindly: "Go and go, the little girl likes to play. She is now not married now and has to go for more. After two years, you will get married, so it will not be so comfortable. Chengyuan's wife, don't you?" Guo Baozhu left, she will have nothing to do with her.

Old Lady Li glanced at Mrs. Ji, but when she looked at Guo Baozhu and Lin Zhu, she was not unhappy. She was also a little girl with a temperament and was not suitable for marrying into their family. In the future, the grandson might go out to fight and need someone who could be stable, just like Zhao Chen's wife. However, Zhao Chen's wife was too gentle, and if there was a disagreement between sisters-in-law, it would always be uneasy. Her family had three grandsons. In the future, the second wife would return to Beijing. A bunch of people would inevitably have bumps and bumps when they lived together.

But this cousin of Zeng’s family is not sure what kind of temperament he is and what his family conditions are...

Because Old Mrs. Ji spoke, neither Aji nor Mrs. Guo could stop her anymore. Mrs. Guo handed over the two maids she brought to her daughter, frowned and warned Guo Baozhu: "You can only give you two quarters of an hour, and you are not allowed to stay outside for too long."

Aji also gave a wink at her sister and asked Ruyi, who could do Kung Fu, to accompany them.

Guo Baozhu and Lin Zhu were pardoned and left happily.

Mrs. Guo shook her head and said to the two old ladies: "Baozhu is very lively and can't teach it well no matter how much she teaches it, which makes the two elders laugh."

Old Mrs. Li smiled and said, "I have a personal temper, just like a flower, and they look the same. What's the point? When I was young, I was even more beautiful than a baozhu. I'm not doing well now? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so we don't have to worry too much. Let's go, it's useless when I'm old, and I'm sore all the way. Let's go to the house and sit and talk."

Old Mrs. Ji smiled and agreed.

The monk in front of him led the way, and the few people soon arrived at the guest room.

At this time, Aji and Zeng Xuerou took off their hats.

Although I had briefly introduced it at the foot of the mountain, both old ladies still looked at Zeng Xuerou. Zeng Xuerou stood beside Aji, generous, looking at Wen Wan calm and calm eyebrows and eyes revealing her three-point agility and heroic spirit. With her tall figure, even though she had seen many noble ladies in the capital, the two old ladies still showed praise in their eyes.

After sitting down, Old Lady Li took the initiative to talk to Zeng Xuerou: "Your cousin's wife said that you live in Liaodong, and you don't have the same accent?"

Zeng Xuerou smiled calmly: "The ancestor of my family is also from the capital. Later, we sent him to Liaodong to be an official, so we moved there. However, when my father and mother were in the mansion, they all spoke Beijing dialect, so my brother and I followed them."

Old Mrs. Li nodded and asked again: "How are your parents? Why are you willing to let you come to the capital by yourself? If I had such a beautiful girl, I wouldn't be willing to let you leave you."

Zeng Xuerou looked slightly dark and lowered her eyes and said, "My father was the prefect of Liaodong. Seven years ago, Liaodong was severely drought and plague prevailed. My father unfortunately got sick while traveling outside... My mother was too sad and went there soon."

"Poor child, it's hard for you to look so well and pull your younger brother up again." Old Mrs. Li sighed and said.

Zeng Xuerou smiled and didn't say anything else.

Aji patted her hands, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Mrs. Guo talked about health preservation with the two old ladies aside.

Before sunset, Old Lady Li and Grandma Li returned to the uncle's mansion.

Old Mrs. Li looked at the second grandson who tried hard to pretend to be calm but was actually full of expectations, and did not hang him, and sighed: "The three girls, two of them are too free, and the other one has no character or appearance. Unfortunately, their parents died early..."

Li Zonghua knew who his grandmother was talking about, so he couldn't help but defend himself: "I marry a wife to someone else's girl, not her parents. Grandma, I'm eighteen. Since you think that girl is suitable, then discuss with my mother and send someone to propose marriage. Marquis of Yanping is a celebrity around the emperor. How many people want to marry the Zhao family? Even if they are just cousins, it is still a hot commodity."

"You have to find out clearly." Old Lady Li said in surprise, "How do you know that I am talking about that cousin? Have you seen someone?" It's not because Zeng Xuerou wanted to marry into her own family, what shouldn't be done? Zhao Chen and his grandmother are incompatible. Zeng Xuerou's family, as the grandmother, can still get along with Zhao Chen and his wife, which is not simple.

Li Zonghua's face was a little hot, but he was not a shy person. When he fell in love, he said it and raised a glance on the road, "Grandma, I know what you are thinking. Miss Zeng was politely guarding her. She was accidentally seen by me. Anyway, I like her. Grandma, don't think so much, go and propose marriage first. Maybe they think I'm ugly and refuse to marry..."

Old Lady Li was unhappy to listen, "Who said you are ugly?" He was ignorant on weekdays, but today he knew that he was becoming more and more uglinessful.

Li Zonghua touched his nose: "I have seen Zhao Chen, and there is a cousin who is facing me. I am almost as ugly as I am."

Thinking of the appearance of Zhao Yunting and his son, Old Lady Li had nothing to tell and said angrily: "If she doesn't want to marry because of this, I won't look down on her."

Li Zonghua was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed: "Did my grandmother agree?"

Old Lady Li glared at him: "Look at your unpromising appearance, wait, let me tell your mother tomorrow. If she doesn't object, I will ask Chengyuan's wife to ask what the Zhao family means." In fact, she didn't care much about Zeng Xuerou's background, but instead admired the little girl's ability, just worried about her daughter-in-law's place...

Li Zonghua was not embarrassed at all, and left excitedly, his steps were obviously happier than usual.

Old Lady Li shook her head and laughed. Forget it, since her grandson is so satisfied, she will tell her daughter-in-law carefully. Zeng Xuerou is supported by Zhao Chen and her husband. As the grandson said, it is indeed a hot commodity.

A few days later, Old Lady Li posted a post to Aju and asked her to come home to appreciate the lotus.

Aji went there, and after returning, he happily went to Xinlanyuan: "Mom, the Li family has a cousin. Let me ask you what you mean. If you agree, they will ask the matchmaker to come and propose marriage."

This is a good thing, and Ning Shi was also very happy, "Okay, don't tell Xue Rou first, I will mention it to your father tonight, and he will still have to decide on this matter."

Aji nodded, picked up his daughter who had crawled onto her lap, and kissed her loudly on her face.

The rattle is so beautiful that it sways with little hands, making it squeaky.

In the evening, Zhao Yunting returned, covered in sweat. He went to the side room to take a bath and changed his clothes before coming to accompany his wife. He was going to Rongshoutang to have dinner with his wife. Ning took the matter before the meal and told her: "Didn't you say that the Li family intends to marry us last time? Now I have a letter. The Li family wants to marry Xue Rou for Li Zonghua, and come to propose marriage just when you promise."

Zhao Yunting was originally lying comfortably on the kang, but when he heard this, he sat up, his expression not as relaxed as before.

Ning knew what he was worried about, so he went to the windowsill to get orchid, without saying much.

After a while of silence, Zhao Yunting sighed: "It's a good marriage. After dinner, I told my mother, "You go to bed early later. I may have to come back later." My mother was confused, but she was not stupid. Once she knew about the Li family's proposal, she would immediately guess that the niece she wanted to support had actually stood aside with Wang Zhuxuan, right? Then she would be furious.

Zhao Yunting didn't want to argue with his mother, but this time it was inevitable.

After looking at his wife, Zhao Yunting went to Rongshoutang with a heavy heart.

Rongshoutang is quite lively.

The grandmother was not a person who treated her harshly. Wang Zhuxuan disrespected her grandmother, so she usually regarded her as her grandmother. Just like Zhao Chen had not come back before, she heard Zhao Qing and his three brothers and sisters talking funny every day, and even seemed to prove something. She was much more generous than usual, and she would give Zhao Yi some jewelry materials from time to time. Zhao Han and his grandmother were already close, and Zhao Qing and Zhao Yi seemed to be unaware of the grudge between the eldest brother and the grandmother, and she was still willing to make her grandmother happy.

As soon as Zhao Yunting came over, the cheerful atmosphere in the room disappeared.

The lady glared at her son unhappily and ordered the maids to prepare food, just pretending that there was no such person in front of her.

Zhao Yunting knew that his mother was still complaining about him standing by and watching his eldest son commit crimes last time. He would say something to ease the atmosphere when he came before. Today, he had something to do in his heart, so he lost the mood to deliberately please his mother. Zhao Qing and the other two were afraid of their father and dared not say much. The meal was extremely dull.

After the meal, all the juniors left. Seeing that their son had not left yet, the lady said strangely: "What are you staying for?"

Zhao Yunting stood up and wanted to help his mother into the house. The lady was useless. She sat on the couch in the inner room and snorted coldly: "Tell me, are you talking about something else to anger me? It's okay, you can just get angry. I'm used to it for a long time. I deserve it if you get angry. Who told me to give birth to a good son!"

Zhao Yunting looked at his mother, waved his hands to the two maids serving in the room, and signaled them to go down.

The outside of Zhao Yunting and his son who killed the former maid Shaoyao was unknown. The maids in Rongshoutang had guessed a little, so as long as Zhao Yunting came over, no one was willing to stay in the house to serve him, for fear that he would lose his life. At the moment, Zhao Yunting waved his hand, Yingchun quickly led another maid back and hurriedly stood under the eaves.
