Chapter 219: Secrets about Uncle
Gao Wangshi also pulled Gao Wanxin to get closer to her uncle.
Gao Wanxin was thinking, how can the uncle and nephew be close? Besides, she is still a girl, so she should keep an appropriate distance.
Gao Wangshi was thinking that her cousin had a cold personality and was old enough to be Wanxin's father. If Wanxin could get closer to him, perhaps her cousin would pay more attention to her.
Zhao Xuan no longer had the same feelings for Gao Wangshi as before.
Although Gao Wangshi still has some charm now, she is not as beautiful as she was in the past, so Zhao Xuan does not want to marry her.
His cousin's daughter, on the other hand, is quite well-groomed and looks like a nice person.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan spoke.
"I will take care of this matter, cousin, don't worry too much."
Gao Wangshi seemed a little anxious. "My cousin, you don't know. Wanxin is already sixteen this year, eighteen this year. If she doesn't get married soon, it will be even harder to find a partner when she's too old."
"Cousin, do you have a good candidate?"
It was obvious that Gao Wang was very anxious. Old Madam Zhao frowned and said, "For this woman, getting married is like marrying again. She shouldn't just pick someone and marry him. She must think it over carefully and not rush into anything."
Only then did Gao Wang stop talking.
But his eyes were full of anxiety.
Not to mention the old lady of the Zhao family and Zhao Xuan, even Gao Wanxin didn't know why her mother was so anxious?
She is not in a hurry, so why should her mother be so anxious?
Seeing that her cousin seemed to have something to say to the old lady of the Zhao family, Gao Wanxin called her mother and walked out.
After the two of them walked out of the old lady's door, Gao Wanxin looked at her mother and said, "Mom, I'm not that eager to get married. You're too anxious."
"Wanxin, I'm worried about you. If you don't get married, it will be a lifelong worry for me."
Gao Wanxin could understand, but she could do nothing about it.
"Let's just let it happen. We are in the Zhao family, so we have to follow their arrangements. How dare we rush them? That would be bad."
Gao Wangshi said with a hint of anxiety, "It's not good, that's why I thought of asking you to make some food and send it to your cousin. Well, I'll make it later and you can bring it to him. You should get closer to your cousin, so that he will have eyes for you. I don't ask him to treat you very well, as long as he can pay a little attention to you and find you a good husband, I will be satisfied."
After all, she doesn't have much time left.
Gao Wangshi looked very haggard because she had an incurable disease and had been ill for two years. No medicine or treatment was effective.
Gao Wangshi simply stopped eating, or ate less...
She only wanted to arrange her daughter's future before she died.
But now, living under someone else's roof, Zhao's cousin is busy with other things and has no intention of taking care of them, mother and daughter.
Only then did Gao Wangshi become anxious.
Seeing that her mother was sincerely thinking about her, Gao Wanxin didn't dare to talk back and immediately agreed with her mother.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Don't bother me. I'll make some food and send it to my cousin. I'll also care for and love my cousin as if he were an elder."
After hearing what Gao Wanxin said, Gao Wangshi smiled slightly.
"Wanxin, you have to learn to be independent. I can't be with you forever."
Gao Wanxin thought her mother was talking about her after she got married...
She nodded and said yes obediently.
inside the house.
Zhao Xuan told his mother about the nephew he had found.
"You mean, he's still alive?"
"Alive. If my sister knew he was still alive, she wouldn't have died of illness at such a young age."
"Mother, I'm thinking of taking him in. He's grown up now, and my cousin's Wanxin is pretty good too. It wouldn't be a bad idea to bring them together."
The old lady nodded and said with a smile, "That's not bad."
"Quick, bring the child to me. I want to see him."
Seeing his mother's anxious look, Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "Look how anxious you are. Even if you want to see him now, I can't bring him to you. I just found the clue of the child and didn't go to identify him."
"I'm thinking of bringing the child back. If it works, try to match him up with Wanxin."
The old lady said hurriedly: "You have to wait until the child comes back home before you discuss this matter."
"Son, that's your sister's only blood. I'm thinking of letting him stay in the Zhao family from now on. What do you think?"
Her daughter had a miserable life, and the old lady felt sorry for her grandson, especially after her daughter died. Her second son-in-law remarried, and now it has been twenty years. The son-in-law's family also has many children and grandchildren. It is said that the child who is two years younger than Lu Yu has now given birth to a son.
Some time ago, the Zhao family also gave the Lu family a full moon gift.
The old lady's second daughter married into the Lu family and gave birth to a son, Lu Yu. Later, the child was abducted and sold to Erlong Mountain, where he grew up. The head of the Lu family remarried and is now living a good life.
Have sons and daughters.
After all, Lu Yu is the child of his deceased wife. If he returns to the Lu family after so many years, will the Lu family still recognize him?
The old lady felt sorry for her grandson and wanted him to stay with her, so she gave him money to support him.
Of course, I have to ask my only son whether he is willing.
Zhao Xuan immediately made his attitude clear, "He's my own nephew, how could I not want to? It's my mother's decision."
Old Madam Zhao urged Zhao Xuan to go find her grandson as soon as possible.
After talking to his mother, Zhao Xuan asked some more questions about Princess Huayang.
Speaking of this, the old lady became even more angry.
It is said that Chen Jingyan has found another woman outside and is thinking of marrying a second wife...
Zhao Xuan said this was impossible.
The old lady said, "How could this be false? I heard that someone in the Marquis' Mansion came out to refute the rumors, saying that everything that was spread outside was false, and even spent money to silence some people. If it wasn't done, why would they spend money to spread it? By spending money to dispel the news, it seems that this matter is really true."
That's true.
Zhao Xuan was also confused. According to the personalities of Chen Jingyan and Yun Qiao, the last thing they would do when faced with these rumors was to find someone to spread the news.
Wouldn't this make people think that the Marquis is really going to marry a second wife?
Zhao Xuan didn't say anything else.
He hadn't contacted Chen Jingyan during this period, so he really didn't know anything about Chen Jingyan.
But Zhao Xuan felt that Chen Jingyan was not such a person, nor should he be such a person.
At the beginning, he took great pains to help Yun Qiao, married her, and gave all his rich property as her dowry.
Those who know it means marrying a wife, while those who don’t think it means marrying a daughter.
At that time, Zhao Xuan even laughed at Chen Jingyan, saying, "Don't let others cheat you out of your money."
Chen Jingyan also said with a smile that if it were her, she would be willing to lie.
He even envied the relationship between Chen Jingyan and Yun Qiao.
How could there be news that Chen Jingtan would marry a second wife at this time today?
Zhao Xuan naturally didn't believe this was true.
He returned to the study with doubts and looked at the visiting cards he had received recently. They were all about weddings, births, and the passing of ancestors.
There is no one from the Chen family of Zhenbeihou.
He was so engrossed in watching that he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"My cousin is here. It's me, Wanxin..."
Zhao Xuan asked, "What do you want from me?"
When Gao Wanxin heard Zhao Xuan's voice, she felt nervous.
She was the worst at coaxing people, but now for the sake of her own future she had to humble herself and beg the man in front of her.
Gao Wanxin walked in quickly and looked at Zhao Xuan sitting at the table. She felt very uneasy.
"This is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made. I wanted to give it to my cousin to try."
Zhao Xuan looked at her and said calmly, "Let it go."
Knowing what Gao Wanxin wanted to talk to him about, Zhao Xuan immediately said, "I will pay attention to your marriage, and you don't have to do these things against your will."
Gao Wanxin's face almost said, "I don't want to serve you anymore."
Hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Gao Wanxin ran out immediately.
He looked so happy.
This made Zhao Xuan feel quite uncomfortable. Was he a monster? How could he frighten Gao Wanxin so much? The women in his backyard were eager for him to look at them more.
Gao Wanxin didn't dare to say why she was afraid of Zhao Xuan.
When she first came to the Zhao family with her mother, she was curious about the family and liked to wander around. She had no maid and her family was too poor to afford one, so she just walked around and played by herself. One evening, she saw the roses in the garden were blooming beautifully and she liked them very much, so she wanted to pick a few and put them in a vase.
Unexpectedly, he ran into the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Xuan, who was having an affair with a woman in the backyard in the garden.
She clearly heard the woman's sweet voice say, "I'm just a servant. Look, my lord, what are you afraid of?"
She also heard Zhao Xuan's low and hoarse voice: You little devil, you're really annoying.
Gao Wanxin was not married, but she knew something about the relationship between men and women. She could still vividly remember their lovemaking in the garden that day, and the sound seemed to be still ringing in her ears.
Therefore, whenever she saw Zhao Xuan, she couldn't help but think of the scene where he was cuddling with someone in the garden that day.
Who would have thought that Zhao Xuan, who seemed gentle and steady, would be so unruly in private.
Gao Wanxin wished she could stay away from Zhao Xuan.
***
A few days later, Zhao Xuan made a special trip to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
At this time, Yun Qiao was lying in bed, not wanting to move, as she was recuperating from her heart disease. When she heard that Lord Zhao Xuan had arrived, she got up and went to take a look.
Zhao Xuan saw that Yun Qiao's face was indeed pale and haggard, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions about Chen Jingyan's affairs outside.
"This time, I came here mainly to thank Princess Huayang. I have found Lu Yu with the clue you provided me. He is indeed my nephew, the child born to my second sister."
"Your second sister?" Yun Qiao knew that Zhao Xuan had several sisters, and they all married well, but she had never heard of this second sister.
"My second sister was married to the Lu Chengyun family in Kyoto and later gave birth to a child, my nephew. When the child was still young, he got lost on the road and was abducted. After losing her beloved son, my second sister fell ill and died. Now, the child can finally be found..."
Lu Chengyun...
Yun Qiao knew the head of the Lu family. He had previously passed the imperial examination and later resigned to do business. He is now in the shipping business.
I heard that the Lu family now wants to cooperate with the emperor and may become one of the imperial merchants in the future.
In short, it is true that the Lu family is highly valued now.
"Then Lu Yu is going back to the Lu family? It's better to go back, otherwise the things that belong to your second sister will be given to others."
Yun Qiao mentioned it.
Because she read from Zhao Xuan's heart that Zhao Xuan wanted to keep his nephew at home.
Zhao Xuan looked at Yun Qiao and his eyes changed slightly.
It seems like what she said is quite right...
Although they don't care how much the Lu family can give to Lu Yu, why shouldn't he fight for what should belong to Lu Yu?
Zhao Xuan had also thought about this matter, but he felt that there seemed to be something he couldn't figure out. After Yun Qiao said it so directly, Zhao Xuan understood.
"The princess is right."
"Princess, don't overthink it. You should trust the Marquis. He's not the kind of man who would be misled by the beauty outside."
Yun Qiao smiled faintly, but still looked haggard.
"Master Zhao, are you here today just to lobby for Chen Jingyan? If he comes back, he can come to me directly without having to ask anyone else to come. Whether he wants to marry the second or third wife, I will agree."
"But the tea for the mistress must be brought to me."
Zhao Xuan was feeling uneasy when he left the Marquis' Mansion.
Could it be that Chen Jingyan really found a woman outside?
Not to mention that Yun Qiao is the woman he loves the most, he shouldn't look for someone outside. Even with her identity as Princess Huayang, she can't flirt with other women outside.
At this moment, Zhao Xuan was very worried about Chen Jingyan in his heart.
Because she had not communicated with Chen Jingyan, Yun Qiao had no idea about Chen Jingyan's situation in Mobei. She was only concerned with taking care of her health and living her own life.
On the third day of the New Year, Yunqiao went to the temple fair.
Yun Qiao brought her maids and attendants with her. Since there were many people attending the temple fair, they had booked a meditation room for rest and vegetarian food for lunch in advance.
After driving the carriage outside the temple fair, someone was responsible for arranging their carriage. Yun Qiao took her maid inside. She wanted to stroll around today, so she walked around and bought some things, then went to the Zen room to rest.
This Zen room was specially prepared for the temple fair, so the items inside are quite complete.
It's like an antique hotel with a temple theme.
When Yunqiao opened the door of the room she stayed in, she could see the long, bustling queue on the street...
She opened the window and looked out. Several maids were also curious about the excitement outside and talked about the new things outside. Yun Qiao looked at them and let them go out and play.
"But, Your Highness, what will you do if we all leave?"
"I can sit here by myself and relax." Yun Qiao waved her hand nonchalantly, "Go quickly. I'll give you half an hour. Come back in half an hour."
The little maids were delighted.
Because His Highness also gave them money to buy some food.
Xiao Tao still didn't come out this time. She was really worried about the three little masters. After taking care of them for a long time, she regarded herself as the three little masters' nanny. It wasn't that the three little masters couldn't leave her, but she had to leave the three little masters.
Qiu Chan didn't want to go, Yun Qiao waved her hand and told her to leave quickly, and Qiu Chan hurried out.
She had basically not had time to go out and play throughout the year, so she was happy to go out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these maids left, Yun Qiao heard a commotion outside.
