Chapter 242: Lord Zhao heard someone say bad things about him behind his back
Now I see Li Yuan with Chen Yumo, the daughter of the Marquis’s Mansion.
Humph, the Marquis' Mansion is now defeated, and the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion is going to marry a grandson of the Zhao family who has no official status?
Mrs. Wang and her two daughters sat next to each other.
The Spring Banquet is a separate dining system, specially prepared according to the tastes and favorite foods of each lady.
For example, Mrs. Zhao likes to eat light food, so light food is the main focus.
Mrs. Wang liked to eat game, so there was more game on her table, such as pheasant, wild duck, wild rabbit, musk deer and venison.
Li Yuan prefers light and nutritious foods such as chicken stewed with cordyceps and sea cucumber stewed with millet for health and beauty.
But there are some main dishes.
Like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, fish porridge, and various pastries, there are basically three or five dishes that are the same.
On the stage, people were singing "Drunken Beating of the Golden Branch".
Old Madam Zhao was fascinated by the show.
Mrs. Wang looked at the game in front of her and was quite satisfied. She ate it quite a few times.
The Wang family has only risen in the past two years. Previously, Mrs. Wang was afraid of being poor, but now she wants to eat whatever is expensive, wear whatever is good, and have whatever is rare.
After eating the braised venison, Mrs. Wang wiped her mouth.
"I brought you here today and gave you an opportunity. You should perform well."
"After lunch, Lord Zhao and his nephew should be here later."
Wang Ziran and Wang Yaoran nodded.
"Yes, mother, we will behave ourselves well."
Seeing that they were quite obedient, Madam Wang was very satisfied. These two daughters were not Madam Wang's biological daughters. She brought them here today just to use them to establish a relationship with the Zhao family and thus win over the Zhao family.
Although Zhao Xuan is favored by the emperor, he does not stand with the Wang family.
Mrs. Wang even thought that Wang Ziran and Wang Yaoran, one would marry Zhao Xuan's nephew Lu Yu, and the other would marry Zhao Xuan as his second wife.
Mrs. Wang had said this to them when they were at the Wang family.
Both Wang Ziran and Wang Yaoran want to marry the young and handsome Lu Yu. Who would be willing to marry an old man?
Zhao Xuan is almost forty years old.
Older than their mother.
The two sisters of the Wang family were secretly fighting each other. Neither of them wanted to marry an old man, but whoever they wanted to marry depended on their own ability. However, the premise was that the tricks they used must not be discovered by others...
But before Wang Ziran came, her aunt called her and gave her a packet of medicine.
He gave instructions for a long time.
She must marry Lu Yu, not Zhao Xuan.
If you marry Zhao Xuan, you will not be able to have children. If a woman cannot have her own children, she will not be able to survive anywhere in the future.
Although Lu Yu is the grandson of the Zhao family, the old lady of the Zhao family loves him very much. In addition, the man is young and has unlimited possibilities in the future. On the other hand, Zhao Xuan will be a second wife if she marries him, and she cannot have children. Moreover, Zhao Xuan's daughter is almost the same age as her.
Neither Wang Ziran nor Wang Yaoran wanted to marry Zhao Xuan.
But if you want to marry Lu Yu, you have to rely on your own abilities.
Wang Ziran's aunt specially gave her a packet of medicine and told her that if necessary, she could become his woman first, otherwise Wang Yaoran would get there first and she would have to marry the old man Zhao Xuan.
At this moment, Wang Ziran was listening to his mother's words, but he was thinking about what his aunt had said to her.
If necessary, she must take over the land first.
I just don't know what that man looks like.
Maidong came with her second sister-in-law this time because she was afraid that someone would bully her. Fortunately, after the meal, everything was fine.
Just when Maidong was relaxing, he suddenly saw a commotion in front of him.
They had moved from the banquet hall to the pavilion in the garden.
Divided into two areas.
The married lady of the official family sat beside the old lady of the Zhao family, talking and laughing.
The old lady of the Zhao family asked Gao Wanxin and Zhao Lingxi, the daughter of Zhao Xuan, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, to take everyone to a small pavilion nearby.
Various cut fruits and exquisite pastries were placed around the pavilion, and there were maids making tea. If any girl wanted, she could come by herself.
Gao Wanxin was quietly ordering tea for everyone when she heard a commotion in front of her and heard the maid say something.
"Master and Master are here..."
The uncle was naturally referring to Zhao Xuan.
As for the young master, that is Lu Yu.
Wang Ziran, Wang Yaoran and other girls from aristocratic families, some looked up out of curiosity, while others covered their faces with round fans.
Maidong stared at the pastry in front of him. It was delicious, but too greasy.
She wanted to drink another cup of tea, but was afraid that she would lose her manners and cause her second sister-in-law to be looked down upon and gossiped about.
Gao Wanxin didn't look up, but placed a cup of tea in front of Maidong.
"Don't you want to go and take a look? The Lord and the Young Master are both in front."
Mai Dong said, "I have no intention of getting married, nor have I thought of becoming someone's second wife."
Seeing her like this, Gao Wanxin whispered, "My lord is very kind, but a young woman marrying him and entering the Zhao family, but unable to have her own children, and as a concubine, I think no one would be willing to do that."
Mai Dong looked at Gao Wanxin with a playful look.
"The girl is the Zhao family's cousin, shouldn't she speak for the Zhao family?"
Gao Wanxin blushed.
"Actually, I don't tell this to anyone else. I'm just telling you."
There are many women in Zhao Xuan's backyard. Gao Wanxin feels that a woman like Mai Dong will not and should not marry Zhao Xuan.
He doesn't deserve it.
Maidong smiled.
The two girls from the Wang family looked at Lord Zhao and Master Lu eagerly.
Mr. Lu is really handsome.
Of course, Mr. Zhao is not bad either, but he is too old and can’t have children after marrying into the Zhao family…
"Look, little sister! Lord Zhao is really quite young. If you marry him, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory, and you won't have to endure the pain of childbirth."
Wang Yaoran listened to Wang Ziran's words
Just rolled his eyes.
"This wealth and glory is yours, take it. I'll go tell mother right now that you like Lord Zhao, so I'll settle for the next best thing and marry Mr. Lu."
"Mr. Lu's family is not well off. If I marry him, I will have to suffer along with him."
As Wang Yaoran spoke, he quickly walked towards Madam Wang's place.
Zhao Xuan brought Lu Yu to the old lady and greeted several elderly ladies.
He was also looked at by the girls who came.
Zhao Xuan naturally didn't want to do this job, but his nephew always wanted to see the girl, so just think of him as bringing his nephew along.
"Mom, I have something else to do and I have to go out soon, so I won't be able to accompany you."
"Lu Yu is free, let him stay here with you for a while."
Lu Yu's face suddenly wrinkled.
His eyes have recovered a lot. He can see people clearly if they are close to him, but not so well if they are far away. He also gets acupuncture treatments on a daily basis. However, the Zhao family did not tell anyone else about Lu Yu's eyes.
Everyone saw that Mr. Lu was handsome, and it was because of his family background...
When all the girls thought that Mr. Lu was handsome but his family background was a flaw, they suddenly heard the old lady of the Zhao family say something.
"Yu'er will have to go back to the Lu family to recognize his parents in a few days, so he won't be with me for a few days."
"The Lu family?" Madam Wang immediately perked up. "But is it the Lu family favored by the current emperor?"
The Lu family is a well-known family in Kyoto. One of their daughters entered the palace, but she became a concubine of the eldest prince. I heard that she was quite favored.
"I'm very close to the Lu family's wife. How could I not know that the Lu family has a mistress outside?"
The old lady of the Zhao family glanced at Wang.
"Madam Wang doesn't know that the Lu family's later wife was a concubine, and my son Yu'er is the legitimate eldest son."
Mrs. Wang saw that Mrs. Zhao was angry and said, "I see. I didn't understand."
If this is true, it is a bit confusing, but what is the Lu family's attitude towards Lu Yu?
It would be nice if Wang's daughter married Lu Yu.
The young master of the Lu family is young.
If she marries him, the child she gives birth to will be the eldest grandson of the Lu family.
Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to get up and go to the bathroom to tell her two daughters that if they had the chance, they would seduce Lu Yu, and as for Zhao Xuan, they could only settle for the next best thing.
Little did they know that after Madam Wang left, Wang Ziran and Wang Yaoran started arguing over who would marry Lu Yu.
"I am more favored by our mother than you. Can you compete with me?" Wang Ziran glared at Wang Yaoran.
Wang Yaoran said bitterly, "Who wants to marry that old man Zhao Xuan? He's already forty, so he's definitely not good enough. Whoever wants to marry can marry him. Anyway, I won't marry him. You want to marry Lu Yu, and I also want to marry Lu Yu..."
Before Zhao Xuan left the Zhao Mansion, he unexpectedly heard these young women thinking of him like this...
Forty is not enough?
Humph, he is very good at it.
If he didn't want to have more children at the age when he was having grandchildren, he would definitely have three or five more children by now.
It’s not that he can’t, it’s that he just doesn’t want to have a child.
But after listening to what Miss Wang said to him, Zhao Xuan felt extremely depressed.
The girls went to the old lady to greet her symbolically, but actually they just wanted to see the young master of the Lu family.
Only Maidong, Gao Wanxin, and Zhao Xuan's daughter Zhao Lingxi, the three of them and their maids were having tea here.
"Why don't you go and take a look, girl? Everyone likes Mr. Lu very much."
Maidong asked her, "Why don't you go?"
Maidong asked casually and without any malice.
Gao Wanxin smiled and said lightly: "Mr. Lu doesn't look down on me. I am not worthy of him because of my status."
