As soon as the grandparent and grandson finished talking, they saw Pearl walking in. She was holding a few boxes in her hand, and said with some hesitation, "Miss, this is from the little four next to the old man." The errand boy next to the old man was a tall, handsome boy.
Zhao Xingkun didn't know how to improve the relationship between the two of them. He was very happy to see these cardboard boxes. He put all the cardboard boxes on the table with a wave of his hand. He said enthusiastically, "These are pork belly. .”
"Sauce elbow?" Zhao Jinyu's jaw almost dropped from shock.
Zhao Xingkun looked very proud, and said, "This is from Suzhou Xuji, this is from Mrs. Li's house in Wuxi, this is..." There are five boxes in total, each of which was bought from a different place, obviously costing a lot of money. Thinking about it, "Don't you like to eat elbows with sauce? My grandfather thought that he couldn't just eat the ones from Lianhualou. The ones made in other places are also very good, so he asked someone to buy them and send them over."
Zhao Jinyu had a look of embarrassment, she was really sick.
Zhao Xingkun felt a little disappointed that he didn't get Zhao Jinyu's praise, but thinking that Zhao Jinyu had just come to Zhao's mansion and had experienced the change of his adoptive father, so he couldn't help being a little restrained, so he said to Pearl, "Go heat up all these things." , is warming up a pot of bamboo green wine for me, and I will have dinner with your eldest lady here in the evening."
Pearl glanced at Zhao Jinyu with some sympathy, saw her expression of deep helplessness, thought for a moment, and said, "Grandpa, it's been cold recently, why don't you have a pot? Slice the elbows with sauce and put them in to brush and eat. It's also very delicious. "
Zhao Xingkun said with a smile, "That's a good idea." Then he turned his head and asked Zhao Jinyu, "Jinyu, do you think this is okay?" When did you coax a little girl in such a low voice? If it weren't for Pearl's strong concentration, she would have stared out her eyes. However, Zhao Jinyu calmly accepted Zhao Xingkun who put down his body and coaxed her like nothing happened, and said with some reluctance, "All right." But even such a reaction made Zhao Xingkun smile, and said to Pearl, " You go."
Zhu Zhu took it and ordered the subordinates to settle down, but she didn't say anything, and sent someone to say hello to the old lady Mao, saying that the eldest lady will not be coming for dinner today, but now the old lady is thinking so hard that she won't see Zhao Jinyu for a while.
At this time, the old lady had just woken up in the afternoon and was being served to rinse her mouth. When she heard this, her nose was about to crooked, and she said in a hateful voice, "That old bastard! Why come to argue with me about my granddaughter after having a son?" ?”
The old lady has been fighting coldly with the old man, she doesn't see anyone or pay attention to him, she seems very ruthless and cold, and now she heard the maid said that Zhao Jinyu accompanied the old man for dinner, and she became more and more dissatisfied with him, adding new grudges to old grudges, gnashing her teeth I thought, I must give Zhao Xingkun a good look.
Zhao Ruizhi happened to come over to greet her. Seeing that the old lady was a little unhappy, she asked softly, "Grandma, why is this uncomfortable? Do you want to invite the doctor over?" Zhao Ruizhi's eyes were full of worry, as if she would cry in the next moment .
Ever since the old lady knew that Zhao Ruizhi had sent Xiao Zhenshan to make things difficult for Zhao Jinyu, she had been cold to her, but after all the years of affection, now that she was so worried, the memories of the past flooded into her mind, thinking about the past affection, For the first time in the past few days, he explained with some patience, "It's your grandfather, who insisted on pestering Qingluan for dinner." Then he complained, "Qingluan is the same girl, knowing that the old man has done something sorry for me." Things, even willing to accompany him to eat."
Zhao Ruizhi has been suffering a lot recently, Xiao Zhenshan suddenly ignored her, the old lady also treated her coldly, and the negligence of those servants in Zhao's mansion made her feel as if she had returned to being an orphan once again. Sometimes when I go to bed at night, I will be frightened to wake up, I am afraid that after waking up, I will find that this is just a dream.
In this way, Zhao Ruizhi became more and more attentive to the old lady, and came to serve the old lady to wash and eat before dawn. No matter how indifferent and alienated the old lady was towards her, she would accept it. It's not like the status of an adopted daughter... It's nothing more than a servant of the Zhao family.
However, it was not in vain for Zhao Ruizhi to stay humble like this, and the old lady was obviously moved.
"Grandmother, my sister wants to come to accompany grandma, but the other end is grandpa after all..." Zhao Ruizhi was very smart, knowing that this was not the time to speak ill of Zhao Jinyu, but instead she excused her, saying, "Sister is too generous. "
The old lady glanced at Zhao Ruizhi with a serious face, and looked at Zhao Ruizhi for almost a quarter of an hour, Zhao Ruizhi felt a little nervous... After a while, the old lady seemed to let go of her knot, and sighed, "You are also a good boy."
Zhao Ruizhi was very excited, wondering if the old lady was willing to get close to her? As a result, the old lady soon heard the majestic and somewhat warning voice say, "It is important to have self-knowledge, you must remember this."
Zhao Ruizhi's heart was cold and cold, as if she was in an ice cave, but she still managed to show a gentle smile and said, "Ruizhi always remembers my grandmother's teachings."
Only then did the old lady smile a bit, and said, "Remember what you said today." Then she raised her tone, with a bit of ruthlessness, "I can give you some things, and I can also take them away."
Zhao Ruizhi was trembling all over, almost crying, why did the old lady treat her like this? Isn't it because of Zhao Jinyu? If hatred could be turned into a sharp blade, Zhao Jinyu, who is far away in her boudoir at this moment, would have been chopped into pieces by Zhao Ruizhi, but it's a pity that this was just Zhao Ruizhi's own idea.
Although the old lady reluctantly forgave Zhao Ruizhi, but there was a gap in her heart, and she let her go back after dinner.
Zhao Ruizhi returned to the boudoir in a daze, and suddenly felt a hand grabbing her arm. She was startled, and just about to scream was blocked by that person, "Sister Ruizhi, it's me."
The man turned his head, revealing a handsome and gentle face, he was a very young man.
"Brother Chengfeng, is that you?" The person who came was Zhao Chengfeng from the fifth room of the Zhao family.
Zhao Chengfeng smiled softly and said, "Did you scare my sister?"
Zhao Ruizhi pushed Zhao Chengfeng away angrily, and said coquettishly, "You have arranged a good marriage, why are you looking for me?"
Zhao Chengfeng showed a somewhat anxious expression, held Zhao Ruizhi's hand and said, "Sister, don't you know that you are the only one in my heart?"
"Are you trying to lie to me again?"
"Why don't you believe me? Have you forgotten how good I was to you?" Zhao Chengfeng seemed to be in pain, frowning.
Zhao Ruizhi looked at the familiar eyebrows, recalled the old love, felt sad, and suddenly cried, "You people treat me as a dispensable existence, come and go when you want." After finishing speaking, he hit Zhao Chengfeng's chest a few times with his fist.
Zhao Chengfeng hugged Zhao Ruizhi into his arms, and said softly, "It's all my fault, whoever told me that I am a child of the Zhao family, otherwise I will marry you even if I die."
"Woo hoo."
After a while, Zhao Ruizhi's mood stabilized a bit. Now she was held in Zhao Chengfeng's arms and said, "You don't have to be so hypocritical, you asked me to stop Xiao Zhenshan from recognizing his ancestors, and I did it too, and I came to find you what I do?"
Zhao Chengfeng rolled his eyes, quickly squeezed out a gentle smile, and said, "Is it just because of this that I came to you?"
"Isn't it? You go." Zhao Ruizhi suddenly changed her face, stood up and said.
"No..., hey, you've been really angry recently." Zhao Chengfeng embraced him again, talked a lot of love words before coaxing Zhao Ruizhi, and then said, "If I really adopt to the big house, I'll be a The heir of the eldest son will also be your best backing in the future, isn't it also for you? Why don't you understand. "
'Of course I understand, so I did as you said, Xiao Zhenshan has already promised me that I will not recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors! "Zhao Chengfeng is the fourteenth in the Zhao family. He is the most outstanding among several children. He looks handsome and extremely intelligent. Zhao Ruizhi naturally fell in love with him, but they are both children of the Zhao family, so it is impossible to be together. Later, Zhao Ruizhi fell in love with him. Changed the target to Xiao Zhenshan of the Xiao family, who knew that in a blink of an eye... Xiao Zhenshan became the old man's illegitimate son.
Zhao Ruizhi persuaded Xiao Zhenshan not to recognize and return to his ancestors, naturally because he could not forget Zhao Chengfeng, she really had a sincere admiration for this person.
Zhao Chengfeng said with some scrutiny, "Do you know... Xiao Zhenshan has already promised to ask the old man to return to Zhao's house."
"Ah..." Zhao Ruizhi said in astonishment.
Zhao Ruizhi still remembers the day when Xiao Zhenshan's identity was exposed... She was worried that Xiao Zhenshan would recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, which would spoil Zhao Chengfeng's good deeds, so she gently reminded him that if he returned to Zhao's house, the two would become siblings, and they would not be together at all. Unable to get married, Xiao Zhenshan also reacted violently at the time, showing unwillingness, why did he change his attitude within a month
You must know that Xiao Zhenshan is different from Zhao Chengfeng, he is a straight-hearted person, and he obeys her, so he is not willing to go against her wishes at all.
Zhao Chengfeng originally came here with some hope, but he knew it when he saw Zhao Ruizhi's appearance... Zhao Ruizhi might not be able to control Xiao Zhenshan anymore. Could it be that the Zhao family is really going to be inherited by that stunned young man? It's really not reconciled.
Zhao Ruizhi just felt wronged, and couldn't help crying, Zhao Chengfeng buried his disappointment in his heart, coaxed softly, and said, "Forget it, I'm actually greedy, even if Xiao Zhenshan is ineffective, but he It's the old man's blood, I can't compete with him just for that."
"I..." Zhao Ruizhi said with guilt, "I'm sorry for you." The more gentle Zhao Chengfeng became, the more guilty Zhao Ruizhi felt.
"Although the plan failed, I feel very comfortable thinking that you will not be able to marry him when he becomes your brother..." Zhao Chengfeng said through gritted teeth, "When I think of him hugging you, I feel very uncomfortable. .”
"Brother Chengfeng?" Zhao Ruizhi looked up moved. A pair of water eyes seemed to be filled with the sky full of stars, very beautiful.
Looking at Zhao Ruizhi's cute appearance, Zhao Chengfeng couldn't help feeling hot in his heart, but he could only hold back and said, "Sister Ruizhi, have you ever thought about your marriage?"
Seeing that Zhao Chengfeng mentioned the marriage, Zhao Ruizhi felt dissatisfied and said, "Grandmother said before that she would find me a good marriage, but who knew that she was looking for a small family who could not get on the table... Later, I couldn't, I just I can count on Cousin Xiao, and things are going well, although the two families have not been hired, but they have almost reached an agreement, who would have known that such a thing would happen, Cousin Xiao would become my elder brother."
Zhao Chengfeng's eyes were full of calculations, and he said, "Sister Ruizhi, you are so good, you deserve better people."
"I'm just an orphan..."
"That's not the case." Zhao Chengfeng held Zhao Ruizhi's hand and said, "Who do you think is more beautiful than you among the Zhao family girls? Who can write well like you? Who is as clever as you?"
Zhao Ruizhi blushed and said, "Brother Chengfeng, stop praising me."
"So, Sister Ruizhi." Zhao Chengfeng held Zhao Ruizhi's cheeks and said expectantly, "You should not be buried with your appearance and talent. You should go to the palace."
"In the palace?"
"Yes..., do you know? This time the draft, the family finally decided to send someone in." The Zhao family originally disdained the draft, but as the Zhao family declined day by day, it seemed that there was only one way to do it.
Zhao Chengfeng's eyes shone with ambition, "If you become the empress of the palace, what is an heir of the Zhao family?"
