Chapter 204: Mr. Zhao, a Young and Beautiful Man
Zhao Xuan was not a mama's boy who always listened to his mother. After hearing it, he didn't take it too seriously.
People are inherently selfish.
"What Doctor Zhang did might not be right, but from her perspective, it's not entirely wrong. However, since Mother doesn't like it, I will stay away from her from now on."
"Then I'll have someone deliver a message to Miss Zhang. Mother, are you really not going to eat the medicinal food Miss Zhang makes?"
Madam Zhao said, "I won't eat anymore. When Wanxin comes, she'll make it for me. I've asked someone, and I heard Wanxin is a very good cook."
Zhao Xuan frowned, thinking about his cousin.
In his memory, his cousin was indeed pretty and he had liked her at first.
But later, I heard that my cousin married a scholar, but the scholar's family was not well off. However, his cousin's family was in business, and my cousin was a pampered lady raised in a merchant family.
Later, I heard my mother talk about it several times, and she always sighed and said that if she had married into the Zhao family, she would not have ended up in this situation.
Old Madam Zhao kept on talking and talking a lot.
From her words, it was revealed that her cousin was not in good health, and her husband, a scholar, never passed the imperial examination. Their family moved to a town in the suburbs and lived a hard life. Now that her daughter Wanxin was eighteen years old, she wanted to come to the Zhao family and ask her cousin to find a good marriage for her.
Old Madam Zhao had a good relationship with her cousin. Since she was the daughter of her cousin's daughter, the relationship was a bit distant, but she was kind-hearted and wanted to help if she could.
"Xuan Lang, why did I hear from the people in your house that you don't want children? That's why your family has been childless for the past few years?"
"Yes, mother, I don't want to have another child. Even if I were to remarry, I'd have to agree in advance that I don't want any children in the future. If you don't accept this condition, I won't marry you."
His son and daughter are already so grown up. If he has another child, he will lose face.
The old lady's face darkened and she became unhappy.
"Why don't you want to have children for no reason? I was thinking of finding you a virgin girl and having two or three more children in the future."
"Mother, how old am I? I'm thirty-eight this year, which means I'm already forty..."
"How can thirty-eight be considered old? If I remember correctly, Lord Chen is already in his thirties this year. You two are not much different in age."
Zhao Xuan: "He's an old cow eating young grass. It's a blessing that the princess is willing to marry him, otherwise, I think he will end up marrying a widow in the future."
"Don't talk nonsense."
I know that Zhao Xuan was joking. He only said this in front of his mother and would not say it in public.
Old Madam Zhao scolded him fiercely, saying that it would be better for him to just find a widow who couldn't have children, which would save him a lot of trouble.
Zhao Xuan said with a smile that if he met a good one, it would not be a bad idea to marry a widow. Wasn't he a widower himself?
Old Madam Zhao was furious.
I haven't eaten properly for three days.
After waiting for seven or eight days, I finally brought my niece and her daughter to the Zhao family.
Zhang Rou also received the message sent by Zhao Xuan, saying that the two of them were not suitable and there was no need for them to contact each other in the future.
Zhang Rou didn't know what was wrong. She wanted to find Zhao Xuan to ask him something, but was told that Lord Zhao Xuan was meeting Princess Huayang and had no time to pay attention to her.
Zhang Rou was not willing to leave at all. She immediately felt that Princess Huayang must be narrow-minded and intolerant, which was why she deliberately said bad things about her in front of Zhao Xuan.
"Let me see Master Zhao. I have something to say to you."
"Miss Zhang, I've already told you that my master has a distinguished guest and can't see you. Don't you understand?"
The gatekeeper was the best at judging people and judging their intentions. After hearing the old lady's words, Miss Zhang was not allowed to enter the Zhao family's gate without her permission, and the old maid did not dare to let anyone in.
Zhang Rou was anxious. "I was hired by your uncle to treat the old lady. How could you treat me like this?"
I used to treat her with respect, but now I treat her like this.
Zhang Rou felt so disappointed that she couldn't accept it. Her temper flared up and she couldn't control herself.
"What are you saying? When did my old lady get sick? My old lady is in good health."
The door slammed shut, and Zhang Rou was locked outside.
Zhang Rou was unwilling to admit defeat, so she secretly found someone to give her the money.
After receiving the benefits, the maid went to Zhao Xuan and delivered a message.
But this maid was just a servant after all, and she had no good eyesight. When she saw someone in the room, she said something foolishly.
"Master, Doctor Zhang is waiting outside the door. She said she wants to see you for something and is waiting outside the door."
