Chapter 50 The Return of Zhao
Hearing the words, Zhou Chongxiao raised his hand to stop the Jiudeng Taoist from following the words. He took out the gossip jade card from his clothes, rubbed the dragon pattern on it with his fingers, and said thoughtfully, "Shui Lian has already told me about this problem before. It is for this reason that Chongxiao wants to practice as soon as possible in order to master the strength to fight against this anger.
Unexpectedly, the Jiudeng Taoist sighed and shook his head like a rattle: "I couldn't figure out why you haven't made any progress in the entry sword array with your innate qualifications. That's the reason."
"What does the Taoist priest mean?" Zhou Chongxiao also wanted to know the reason why he couldn't make progress in his practice, and hurriedly asked for advice with an open mind.
Fuchen changed his hand, and the Jiudeng Taoist said earnestly, "The most taboo is to practice. And you have been forcing yourself because you want to gain the power to fight against the gossip jade card as soon as possible. You should know that if you want to hurry, you can't achieve it. If you hadn't mentioned this matter today, I'm afraid you wouldn't have gained anything even if you practiced for another ten years.
"What should I do?" Zhou Chongxiao was also stunned. He never thought that the invisible wall that prevented him from moving forward was actually himself.
"Any effort is in vain before you clean up your mind. In this case, the practice will be temporarily stopped. However, your internal interest conditioning still must continue. There are still some things to do in the poor road, so let's leave for the time being. Jiudeng Taoist explained helplessly.
"When will the Taoist priest come back?" It's his fault, and Zhou Chongxiao is also helpless.
Jiudeng Taoist has stepped out of the door, and his voice gradually faded away: "Everything depends on the opportunity. Infinite longevity Buddha."
The next morning, when Zhou Chongxiao went to accompany Mrs. Zhou for breakfast as usual, he heard that Li Hanyu's room was very lively. After asking, he knew that it was Zhao, Li Hanyu's wet nurse, who had finished the affairs of the Li family and came to Zhou's house to accompany Li Hanyu again.
Her round body was about to squeeze out the door of the room when she saw Zhou Chongxiao in the yard at a glance.
"Yoh! Isn't this the future uncle? You got up so early today!" Zhao smiled and said happily, "This wedding day is finally about to be settled. It's really gratifying!"
Li Hanyu also came out of the door. Hearing Zhao's words, he turned his head and looked at Zhou Chongxiao. Unexpectedly, his face sank in an instant and he knew that something was not good. She hurriedly took Zhao's hand and seemed to tell Zhao. In fact, she said to Zhou Chongxiao, "Nanny, my aunt is not sure about this. Don't talk nonsense yet. Besides, my aunt will definitely discuss it with her cousin.
Zhou Chongxiao knew in his heart that this was his cousin who was giving herself a step, and his anger was slightly reduced by three points. After all, this matter has been the consensus of the two families for many years, and it can't be made clear for a while. As Li Hanyu said, as long as you discuss it with your mother, there is still room for change.
Unfortunately, Zhao, who had been overwhelmed by joy, did not understand the depth of it and shouted loudly: "Oh, hey, I said, Miss, the two masters nodded and agreed to this marriage in person. Now they have begun to turn over the yellow calendar. How can they say that they are not accurate?"
Just as Zhou Chongxiao was angry and was about to turn around and leave, Shui Lian came from the other end of the yard with Xuanyuanbi.
"Chuxiao's nephew, Han Yu's niece, you're early too!" With a slight smile, Shui Lian deliberately called them by the name of Zhou Chongxiao. After approaching, he found the existence of Zhao, "Well, isn't this Mrs. Zhao, Hanyu's niece's nanny? Long time no see."
Zhao first saw a beautiful son coming towards him. He thought he was Zhou Chongxiao's friend, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would call Zhou Chongxiao his nephew and call Li Hanyu his niece, and his heart suddenly raised doubts.
In the Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou is an orthodox bloodline. There is a younger brother who is more than ten years apart. He has been dead for a long time, and there is only Zhou Chongxiao's son under his knees. When did such a figure emerge?
"This is..." Zhao turned around and asked Li Hanyu.
"This is the uncle of the Zhou family. After falling into the water, I was rescued by a master and returned home a few days ago. Li Hanyu explained.
"It turned out to be the little master of the Zhou family, who was polite. Don't call the old man a lady. You don't dare to be an old man. Only then did Zhao understand that the person in front of him was Zhou Lian, who had been identified as dead for more than ten years.
Zhao grew up with Li Hanyu. She knew very well about Zhou Lian's position in Mrs. Zhou's mind. She knew that the person in front of her could be called the most indecent owner of last week's house, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile on her face. At this time, Zhao suddenly noticed Xuanyuanbi, who had been following Shuilian.
"Is this witch still in the house?" Zhao, who had long regarded Xuanyuanbi as a thorn in his side, was secretly shocked in his heart.
Zhao was very clear about Mrs. Zhou's departure from Xuanyuanbi. Originally, she thought that Xuanyuanbi had been driven out and had been threatened. Unexpectedly, she had only been seen for a few days, and she returned to Zhou's house, and it seemed that she had a close relationship with the young master of Zhou's family.
At the first time, he noticed Zhao's eyes and saw what Zhao's thoughts were in his heart. Shui Lian snorted secretly, pulled Xuanyuanbi with a smile, and introduced to Zhao, "Mrs. Zhao, this is my little senior sister, named Xuanyuanbi."
The little witch brought back by Zhou Chongxiao unexpectedly changed into Zhou Lian's little sister. This unexpected thing made Zhao's thoughts turn quickly.
"This witch's ability should not be underestimated. Previously, he followed his cousin home and was kicked out by Mrs. Zhou. Now he has come back with the young master of the Zhou family. According to Mrs. Zhou's love for the young master, she will definitely not drive out his guests. It's hard evidence that this witch is still standing here safely. Thinking about it secretly, Zhao suddenly had a bold conjecture, "This witch was previously driven out by Mrs. Zhou, but then came back with the little master who had been dead for many years. Could it be... Is this little master also an accomplice of the witch? It is also possible for them to deceive the people of Zhoufu together.
Thinking of this, Zhao's eyes looking at Shui Lian were a little more alert.
If Shui Lian knew the thoughts in Zhao's mind at this time, she would certainly be amazed: someone could guess the truth of the matter in just a few words. This wet nurse is really awesome.
Everyone is still chatting. At this time, Qiu Yue, the big maid in Mrs. Zhou's room, came out and saw everyone standing in the yard talking. She couldn't help laughing and saying, "Everyone has been standing here and chatting for a long time. Madam is anxious. Let's hurry into the room."
Mrs. Zhou still sat in the first seat, with Shui Lian, Zhou Chongxiao, Xuanyuanbi and Li Hanyu sitting in turn. Zhao stood behind Li Hanyu. When Mrs. Zhou saw that Zhao Shi came back, she casually exchanged a few words, and stopped saying anything, which made Zhao very uncomfortable.
Mrs. Zhou has another plan in her mind. She knew very well that Zhao Shi, relying on her identity as Li Hanyu's wet nurse, always raised her own value and regarded herself as a lady in her heart.
This woman has been following Li Hanyu to make suggestions. Li Hanyu listens to her. If she doesn't suppress her arrogance at this moment, I'm afraid that after marrying Li Hanyu in the future, she will be controlled by this nanny full of ghost ideas.
And Zhao ate Mrs. Zhou's soft nail, and he was also a little angry. She went back this time and helped the Li family finalize the marriage with the Zhou family. The master and wife of the Li family were courteous to themselves. I didn't want to just return to Zhou's house. First, I was swayed by Zhou Chongxiao. Now even Mrs. Zhou looks lukewarm, and I can't help but let Zhao's anger and have nowhere to get out.
Shuilian is also a bad-hearted person. You can know what Zhao is thinking at a glance. He deliberately said, "Sister, Mrs. Zhao is also the wet nurse of Han Yu's niece. Today, she came from afar. Why don't she sit down and have dinner with us!"
Zhao was overjoyed when he heard the words. She is a proud person. When she was in the Li family, she had been eating at the same table with the master, wife and lady. At this time, when she saw that Shui Lian said so, the previous anger suddenly subsided a lot.
Although her favorite youngest brother opened her mouth, Mrs. Zhou still didn't want this Zhao to be too proud. Therefore, she looked at Li Hanyu with difficulty and said, "Han Yu, Lian'er's words are also reasonable. After all, Zhao's nurse is also your wet nurse. Although her status is low, she can also be regarded as hard work. These days, she runs back and forth between Li and Zhou, and treats her at our desk, which is also right. Are you saying it or not?
"This..." Li Hanyu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Zhou's words can be understood as agreeing to Zhao's deskmate to eat, but the words point out Zhao's low status. Li Hanyu has been following the etiquette since she was a child. When she was in the Li family, because her parents were still in charge, sometimes it was not easy to speak, but in this week's house, she has always wanted to win a good impression of Mrs. Zhou. Naturally, she followed the rules and did not dare to go over it.
Zhao also understood the voice of Mrs. Zhou's words. Mrs. Zhou's simple words forced her young lady into a dilemma.
If Li Hanyu nod, Mrs. Zhou can be said in the future that she can't be a competent hostess of Zhou; if Li Hanyu does not nod, she will leave a cold-blooded and ruthless image on the spot.
Although Zhao wants to sit at the dinner table and be on an equal footing with everyone, what she can't stand at present is that her young lady is bullied like this.
So she stepped forward and bowed her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness. But after all, the old man is humble and dare not expect it.
Mrs. Zhou sighed and said, "Since you have opened your mouth like this, we can't force others any more. Lian'er, just let the kitchen cook more delicious food for the wet nurse. Why be so anxious?
"It's true." Shui Lian no longer continued to tease the Zhao family and went down this step.
Li Hanyu breathed a sigh of relief, but when she thought of her aunt's attitude towards her wet nurse, she felt sad. No matter what, Zhao has been with Li Hanyu for many years. Needless to say, she has a deep relationship. What's more, in this week's house, only the wet nurse is her only support. Seeing that the wet nurse is suppressed, Li Hanyu even predicts how she will be treated when she marries into Zhou's house in the future.
And Mrs. Zhou did not expect that her behavior of simply attacking Zhao, a woman with jackal ambition, left a bad influence on the kind Li Hanyu's heart.
Although this matter has been exposed, it has left an indelible mark in the hearts of Li Hanyu and Zhao.
