Chapter 70 The real daughter, she quit (16)

Hearing the rattling sound of wheels rolling against the ground, Mrs. Zhao became more and more upset in the car.

Seeing this, Haiyao comforted her: "Since the eldest aunt wants Sister Zhen to go, let her go. Sister Zhen's vision is not low, maybe she can't look down on that Zhou family Silang?"

Mrs. Zhao couldn't laugh or cry when she heard the words: "Why does she look down on Mr. Zhou Zhou? Your uncle and aunt still want their daughter to enter the palace to be a concubine. She must also have the qualifications, right?"

Although the Zhou family is not very eye-catching in this capital, the master in the mansion is an official anyway, and the threshold for Wu Jinzhen is only a chance to cross it with hard work. How can she have the right to pick and choose? ?

Then again, if Wu Jinzhen really didn't like Mr. Zhou Zhou, would Mrs. Zhao feel even more upset?It feels like my own daughter is picking out the leftovers from others.

Time passed while the mother and daughter chatted quietly, the carriage stopped not long after, and the coachman's respectful report sounded outside, saying that the advising doctor's house had arrived.

Mrs. Zhao led Haiyao and the three of them towards the backyard of the doctor's mansion in the concierge's unusually enthusiastic attitude, and did not give Wu Jinzhen any good looks along the way.

The group of people finally walked outside a warm pavilion with translucent western glazed windows. After being reported by the servants, a woman in a dark purple dress came out soon: "Mrs. Wu, you may be here, hurry up!" Please come in, we are all waiting for you!"

This woman should be the official wife of the admonishing doctor.

At this time, the warm pavilion was already full of wives and young ladies from various families. Haiyao glanced around, but did not find An Shutao.Looking at the incomparably warm attitude of those wives towards Mrs. Zhao, it became clear that the whole room might be Mrs. Mrs. Zhao's husband was of the highest rank. She was sought after by everyone, so there was no big problem.

One of them looked at a noble lady who was about 45 or six years old. Ever since a few people entered the door, her gaze had been on Haiyao, Wu Jinrou and Wu Jinzhen.

The other party's appearance is fairly good-looking, and there are still a few wrinkles around the corners of his eyes when he smiles, and he should be an easy-going personality.

When Mrs. Zhao finally sat on one of the two front chairs with the other party at the kind invitation of the admonishing doctor's wife, the lady couldn't wait to say: "It's been a long time since I've been serious. I saw Mrs. Wu, and even if you came here in the past, you would always be alone, and the ladies in the mansion looked like precious things. When I saw you today, they all looked like fairies. No wonder Wu Madame is afraid that others will miss it."

Good words are always more pleasing to the ear, and Zhao's smile is a little more sincere, and she introduces with a smile: "This is my eldest daughter, named Wu Haiyao, and the little one next to her is probably a lot of wives. I've seen them all, and the oldest one is Haiyao and Sister Rou's cousin, who happened to come to Beijing to visit my old lady these days.

For Wu Jinzhen, Zhao even felt that calling her a name was giving her face.

The ladies present are all very shrewd, so how could they fail to appreciate the deep meaning of her attitude, but naturally no one would show anything on the bright side, and everyone chattered about the words from the university scholar's mansion. The three ladies praised it all over.

Among them, the woman suspected to be Mrs. Zhou's eyes fell on Haiyao's body and did not move away. I think she should be quite satisfied in her heart, because the creases at the corners of the other party's eyes are obviously deeper than before.

"Hey, Wanwan, the lotus flowers brought from the south on the lake in our backyard have bloomed just right in the past two days. However, you juniors are not interested in these topics we talked about. Why don't you take the ladies from various prefectures over there Let's take a look?" The doctor's wife advised her with a wink at the third daughter behind her.

And this third daughter is the little follower of An Shutao whom Haiyao met on the edge of Minghu Lake before.

"Yes." Hu Wanwan agreed, and then she took about seven or eight young ladies out of the Nuan Pavilion and walked towards the Zuojing Lake not far away.

The area of ​​the Jianyi doctor's mansion is not large, and the landscaping lake is even more pitiful. When everyone reached the so-called 'lake', they walked up the wooden bridge on the lake one by one, and the backyard could be seen with just one glance. I looked over the garden scenery.

Haiyao lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the water lilies that were not very colorful floating on the emerald green water, she pursed her lips a little bored.

Fortunately, these ladies are all elites who have received 'nobility' education since they were young, and they can keep talking about those lotus flowers for an hour, so the bridge is full of chattering voices for a while, It sounds so lively from a distance.

Not long after, Haiyao vaguely saw two figures appearing in front of the half-moon gate hidden behind the sparse trees not far away. When the two were passing by the path not far from the landscape lake, Hu Wanwan timely He said: "Brother, didn't mother tell you that she would invite the wives and young ladies of each family to stay in the house today? Why did you bring people into this garden? Mother will scold you when she finds out!"

When Mr. Hu heard this, he immediately bowed his hands to Yingying Yanyan on the bridge with an embarrassed face: "I'm sorry, I really didn't know that mother was going to entertain all the ladies and ladies at the house, otherwise I would You won’t invite Mr. Zhou to come to the mansion today to discuss knowledge.”

fart.

Haiyao lacks interest, don't you know that Zhou Zhoulang still doesn't know that his mother came to visit the admonishing doctor's house today?This is just a kind of trick that noble ladies often play. Just find an excuse to let the two children look at each other from a distance. As long as they are sure that the other party has no disabilities and is not ugly, then this marriage is basically a marriage. Up is stable.

After Mr. Hu finished speaking, he and the people around him bowed to the group of ladies.

Taking advantage of the time when everyone was not paying attention, Hu Wanwan looked towards Haiyao according to the intention of admonishing the doctor's wife.

The legendary Mr. Zhou naturally followed her gaze and saw the girl with the pattern of begonias embroidered on the skirt at a glance. She had a calm demeanor and a beautiful face.

At this moment, Haiyao finally saw clearly the appearance of Zhou Zhoulang, who made Zhao's heart miss him. He had very regular facial features, and his appearance was not outstanding. He was wearing a moon-white gown, which gave people a very honest feeling.

She also gave an evaluation in her heart.

But at this time, for some reason, that Mr. Zhou's eyes suddenly drifted away, and then he looked away from the bridge with some embarrassment, and even his ears turned red quietly.

If Haiyao felt it, she turned her face slightly, and she saw Wu Jinzhen who was a few steps away, whose smile was even bigger than the lotus blooming on the lake.

Feeling the conscience, Wu Jinzhen's overly gorgeous appearance is indeed easy to make people's first impression.

But a young girl doesn't have to smile like the girls in the brothel when she faces a foreigner, right?

Haiyao covertly looked between Wu Jinzhen and Shun Bian, who was almost blushing and didn't even dare to lift his head easily. The lost Wu Jinrou...

Immediately afterwards, she also laughed, an unformed thought was rampaging in her mind like this, and she naturally had some calculations in her heart.
