At the beginning of February, when the weather was warm and cold, Qi Su had something to do and went far away.
Now that he has cleared the remaining poison, it is easier than ever to go out, Chu Rao has counted the days, and it has been more than ten days.
Looking at the replies piled up on the table, Chu Rao was angry, and every letter in it was opened with only two words: read.
It's a shame that she still thinks of something new and nice every time, but Qi Su doesn't care about it at all.
Despite this, Chu Rao decided not to write anymore, but seeing Zhuo Wei, she couldn't help but hand over the letter to him for forwarding, as for how it got into Qi Su's hands, she didn't know very well, when she came to the capital, she felt that Qi Su was becoming more and more mysterious.
"Ma'am, the porter said someone was looking for me."
Ziyan stood at the door of the bedroom, frowned, and said, "It's the eldest lady of the big room." ” Chu Rao was pulling the pen and thinking about how to write the next letter to Qi Su, when she suddenly heard that the Zhao family was coming, and her face was full of surprise.
"What is she doing here, Ziyan, you will tell her that Qi Su is not here."
"The slave maid said, but, the eldest lady said, she wants to see you."
"Me?"
Chu Rao suddenly felt strange, but she had nothing to do anyway, so she could see what she said, "Let her wait in the hall." ” When she arrived at the main hall, to Chu Rao's surprise, not only the Zhao family came, but also her daughter Qi Yuwan.
In her previous life and present life combined, she only saw Qi Yuwan two or three times, and she was not impressed by her, but she especially remembered that when Qi Yuwan fanned the flames on the side when the big house was in Qi Su's two-fold shop, Chu Rao didn't like her.
Zhao was wearing a purple plum blossom gown, which seemed to be ten years older than before, and Qi Yuwan had to wear a lot more exquisitely, with a lotus-colored hooded thin cloak and small deerskin velvet boots, which seemed to be a painstaking dress.
Chu Rao sat on the main seat, "Auntie, cousin." ” "Hmm."
On the chair, Zhao responded, "Rao'er, the past is over, we are still a family, right?"
” She smiled kindly on her face, but her heart was actually itching with anger, after all, their big house is like this now, and it can be regarded as a gift from Qi Su, but she really has something to ask Chu Rao today, so no matter what, she has to endure it.
Chu Rao felt awkward when she heard the Zhao family call her 'Rao'er', not to mention how much she mentioned the matter of Qi Guangyao and Qi Feng, she originally thought that moving out of Yangzhou would mean breaking off the relationship with Dafang, but now that they are coming, do they want to ask each other for something?
Chu Rao was suspicious in her heart, her face was not obvious, and she replied to the question: "I won't mention the past." ” Zhao didn't continue to ask, she looked at the luxurious decoration in the main hall, and couldn't help but say, "This place is so big, it's all Su'er's?"
” "No, we're just renting a yard for someone's house."
Chu Rao smiled and shook her head, her wealth should not be exposed, and this time she was afraid that the Zhao family would ask Qi Su for something, of course she couldn't show Qi Su's ability.
"Oh."
Zhao nodded, thinking about it.
What happened in their family, she discussed it with her younger brother Zhao Ruige, and they guessed that Qi Su's ability should be in Yangzhou, which is slightly better than their house, as for building such a large piece of land in Beijing, she thinks it is impossible.
Thinking like this, Zhao felt a little better.
Chu Rao saw her looking around, but she didn't speak for a long time, and said a little impatiently: "The eldest aunt came to me, is there something wrong?"
” "Oh, Rao'er, Yuwan and I are here this time, and we are really looking for you for something."
Zhao glanced at Qi Yuwan, "It's about Yuwan's marriage." ” Chu Rao frowned, what does Qi Yuwan's marriage have to do with her, she and the Zhao family are not familiar enough to find relatives for Qi Yuwan, besides, she doesn't know any young sons, it won't be her brother Chu Sui...
"Rao'er, that's the case, I heard that there is a cousin surnamed Lin in your family, who is not married yet, and is five or six years older than Yu Wanxu."
"Let's just three of us, this kind of faceless and skinless words, I'm not afraid of your jokes."
Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "What do you think of Yuwan?"
” Of course, the Zhao family didn't say one thing, when Lin Zhan came to the second room to find Qi Su, she and Qi Yuwan went out and passed by in a carriage, and they happened to see at the door, Lin Zhan was magnificent, tall, and the man was quite imposing.
Qi Yuwan was immediately moved, and told the Zhao family hesitantly, and the Zhao family investigated again, and Lin Zhan was still a young and promising commander.
Qi Guangyao and Qi Feng are still suffering at the border, if there are more than one such son-in-law, even if they can't come back, they can take care of one or two.
This made the Zhao family not care, and immediately sent the matchmaker to the Chu house.
On the matchmaker's side, they pretended to be in the name of Chu Rao, so this time Zhao Ruige came to Beijing to discuss business, and they came over with them, wanting to talk to Chu Rao about the matter.
Although the Zhao family was ready to make up for the words of 'cut first and then play', she felt that Chu Rao should not refuse.
Yuwan is knowledgeable, her appearance is beautiful, and Lin Zhan has lost her parents, even if he has entered the official career, Zhao feels that his daughter Yuwan is worthy of him, and that is enough.
Who knew that Chu Rao was stunned, "Cousin's family, why do you want to ask me." ” After Zhao finished speaking, he waited for the other party to speak, but she didn't expect Chu Rao to reply to this, she was a little unhappy, but she still said patiently: "Rao'er, I also want to kiss you, besides, you also know that my daughter is very well-behaved, and she is a good match with your cousin, if your father and mother ask about this matter, don't you also have a preparation." ” Qi Yuwan on the side lowered her head and was depressed for a long time, and as soon as Zhao's voice fell, she couldn't help but continue: "Sister Rao'er, you and your cousin have grown up together since childhood, I think if you like it, he will definitely like it." ” "Yuwan!"
Zhao said in a low voice, and said that she didn't bring her, she wanted to come, this kind of thing, she just listened to it, how could she speak in person.
Qi Yuwan was glanced at by the Zhao family, and then bowed her head aggrievedly and stopped talking.
Chu Rao now figured out the purpose of the Zhao family's coming, that is, she wanted to persuade Lin Zhan to marry Qi Yuwan through her mouth.
Knowing Lin Zhan's intentions for herself, Chu Rao has always felt guilty, and she also hopes that her cousin can find a truly desirable woman to live with, but who that person is is not for her to decide.
Chu Rao looked at Zhao and Qi Yuwan, and said coldly: "If you have the heart, you can ask my cousin yourself, it's useless to ask me, I haven't seen him for a few days, so I can't help." ” Zhao didn't give up, "Everyone is close to each other, Feng'er has already suffered retribution and suffering, so only Yuwan is left..."
Chu Rao frowned, she couldn't listen anymore, "Go back, this matter has nothing to do with me, I have to ask you yourself!"
” After speaking, Chu Rao walked out of the hall without looking back, and drove away the guests clearly.

Zhao stayed in place, her face was extremely ugly, she didn't expect Chu Rao to be so difficult to speak, it was originally a happy event, and she created many twists and turns.
"Aren't you leaving?"
Zhuo Wei was very impatient standing in the courtyard, he had the order of the prince to protect his wife, and there were two more strangers in the courtyard for no reason, and he felt troublesome.
Zhao had no choice but to lead his daughter out of the door.
"Mother, why is Chu Rao so difficult to get along with, and I don't deserve her cousin."
Qi Yuwan said with grievances.
Zhao frowned, "Regardless of her, anyway, the matchmaker in Guangling City should have already come to the door."
As long as the other end is finalized, even if they know that I deceived them, can they still regret it?
” Even if the wife of the Chu family wrote to Chu Rao later, knowing that this matter was not granted by Chu Rao, it would be too late.
These small actions, Zhao used to rely on his identity as the eldest lady and disdained to do them, but now that the big house is withering, the future can only be earned by himself.
"Yuwan, if it happens this time, whether your father and your brother can come back or not depends on you."
Qi Yuwan said with a plush face: "Mother, if you can...
I'll definitely do my best. ” "That's it, I don't know if Lin Zhan is willing or not."
"How could he not Yes, my daughter doesn't deserve him at all. ” Qi Yuwan was comforted by her mother and was no longer so worried, and the mother and daughter made up their minds and walked to the carriage on the way back... *** Yangzhou City has been quite mixed recently, although it is not too dangerous, but compared with the previous year, the situation is much worse, probably also related to the emperor's illness and weakness for a long time, and the invention of Beiqiang Yue is blatant.
In the hall of the Chu Mansion, Lin Zhan had been persuading Chu Lingshan for a long time.
"Uncle, aunt, you listen to me, move to Beijing and stay for half a year, now there will be no accident in Guangling City, but in a few months, it may be over."
The few months that Lin Zhan said were related to the lack of safety in Zilong's body today, but once he died, the dragons were leaderless, and he didn't know what was going on in the future, and the capital was the most stable place.
Chu Lingshan's face was clear, and he shook his head and refused: "No, I have lived in Yangzhou for decades, and I am not used to other places, Zhan'er, you don't have to bother to persuade me again, I will not move." ” Ruan sat next to him and spoke softly, "Zhan'er, your uncle's relatives and our mother's family are all from Yangzhou, just like your little aunt's family, you can take care of me, so what about them?"
They also have relatives and relatives, and if this class is strung together, the entire Yangzhou will have to be emptied. ” What Ruan said, Lin Zhan understood, but he lost his life when he was young, his mother died early when he was a teenager, only the second aunt Chu family originally intended to accept him, and the rest of the relatives, even his grandfather's family, except for cool words, there was no one to care.
Therefore, his feelings for the Chu family over the years are far deeper than those of the Lin family, who are related by blood.
Lin Zhan was decisive in killing the enemy on the battlefield, but the Chu family was his weakness, and at this time, he used several times more patience than usual, and continued in a warm voice, "But uncle and aunt, Rao'er is also in Beijing now, you go, isn't it just right to see her more." ” "Rao'er, she is married to her husband, what will we look like as a family."
Chu Rao sent a letter on the third and second days, saying the same thing as Lin Zhan, knowing that her daughter was concerned about herself, but Chu Lingshan was very stubborn, and the things she had decided would not change no matter what.
He didn't want to dwell on the topic in front of him, so he asked Lin Zhan: "That stinky boy has a letter to you recently." ” "Oh, there have been a few."
Lin Zhan knew that Chu Lingshan was talking about Chu Sui, and he had no choice but to answer honestly if he persuaded him.
"I thought he was studying hard in Liuzhou, but I didn't expect to be able to learn from others to raise an outer room, but I scolded him a few more words, and dared to lose my temper with me, and I didn't even reply to the letter, you will teach him a good lesson for me next time!"
"Uncle, Chu Sui's incident is not what you think, he is saving people, and it has nothing to do with that woman at all."
Lin Zhan probably knew something about this matter, he knew Chu Sui's temperament, and occasionally did some foolish things, yes, but he would never be on such a woman.
The girl surnamed Zhao, he felt pitiful when he heard about it, so Chu Sui's reputation outside was wild, and he didn't care about carrying one more.
"Hmph, you've always said good things about him."
Although Chu Lingshan said this, he actually had high hopes for Chu Sui, and after listening to Lin Zhan's words, he finally felt a little relieved.
The people outside the door suddenly heard a sound at this time.
"Master, Liu Media from Miao Yingxing came to ask to see."
Miao Yingxing is a well-known private media shop in Yangzhou, and it is said that family affairs are among the best.
Chu Lingshan waved his hand, "Push, I know that the bastard kid will cause me trouble if he is not at home." ” He wanted to find a girl from a good family to be his daughter-in-law and make Chu Sui settle down, but now that his son is like this, Chu Lingshan doesn't dare, for fear of harming others.
"But, sir, Mrs.
Liu said that she is a relative for the young master of her cousin."
The subordinate scratched his head and replied.
At this moment, the three people in the room all looked surprised.
Ruan Shi glanced at Chu Lingshan, Chu Lingshan nodded and left the main hall, Lin Zhan was also about to leave, but was stopped by Ruan Shi.
"Zhan'er, don't go, let's hear which girl it is first."
"Auntie, nephew doesn't want to-" Ruan Shi had a rare solemn face, "Be obedient, go and stay behind the screen." ” Lin Zhan had no choice but to get up and sit behind the dark brown landscape screen.
Mrs.
Liu who walked in was over fifty years old, but she walked sassy, she has been in this line of work for 30 years, and she has contributed to the number of couples, all because she can pick people, so the success rate is extremely high.
The two in-laws selected this time are inextricably linked, and she doesn't think it's a big problem.
"Mrs.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Chu!"
Mrs.
Liu laughed, with a thin jacket with red flowers, and the whole person was slightly fat, looking beaming, "Ouch, Mrs.
Chu really doesn't look like she has two children at all, her skin is as tender as a little girl." ” The words that came out of the matchmaker's mouth, Ruan Shi smiled and listened to it, "Liu Media is here to say goodbye to my nephew Lin Zhan today?"
” "Yes, Mrs.
Chu, Mrs.
Qi should tell you."
The common people don't pay so much attention to shouting, Chu Rao is married to the second room, so Mrs.
Liu called Chu Rao the little lady of Qi, and the provincial lady called the second room of the Qi family so cumbersome.
"Rao'er?"
Ruan Shi repeated in surprise when he heard this, and his gaze unconsciously fell behind the screen, "What do you want to say?"
” Lin Zhan didn't want to listen carefully, but when he heard about Chu Rao, his expression finally became serious.
Mrs.
Liu, who was sitting at the bottom, faintly felt that she had been deceived, but when everyone arrived here, she couldn't stop talking.
"Madam, in fact, Mrs.
Qi is looking for me, saying that she has calculated with your daughter, and wants to tell her cousin to kiss and kiss Miss Qi Yuwan in their big house, don't you know about this?"
Ruan Shi shook his head blankly.
Mrs.
Liu continued to smile and said, "Ouch, Mrs., you see my memory, maybe I made a mistake."
However, the Yuwan girl is good-looking, virtuous and dignified, and it is a good fate to really become a girl. ” "Lin Gongzi has passed the Double Ten, and it is not a matter that the marriage has been undecided for a long time, you see..." ...
Mrs.
Liu said a lot of beautiful words about Qi Yuwan, and in a blink of an eye, the hour of incense has passed.
Ruan Shi smiled gently: "Otherwise, I will discuss with the master and give you an answer later." ” "It's good, it's good."
Mrs.
Liu walked out of the door with a smile, and Lin Zhan walked out from behind the screen with a cold face.
Ruan didn't know where to start, but thinking of Lin Zhan's age, it was indeed time to get married, so he asked tentatively: "Zhan'er, the Yuwan girl of the Qi family, have you seen it?"
” Lin Zhan replied cheerfully, "No, I don't want to." ” "Zhan'er, in fact, you are older, I promised my sister to take good care of you, you drag your ...... like this" Rao'er is already married, Ruan Shi looked at his nephew, quite a little uncomfortable, and always felt that his own family had delayed him.
"Auntie, you don't have to say it anymore, I don't have the intention of marrying a wife now, as for the future, it will be in the future, as for Qi Yuwan," Lin Zhan was worried that the Ruan clan didn't know about Chu Rao's injury in Jincheng, so he had no defense against the big house.
But he knows the whole story, so it is difficult for him to have a good face for everyone in the Qi family's big house, let alone marry that Qi Yuwan.
Ruan Shi saw that there was no way to persuade him, so he didn't impose his own mind, after all, it was a major event in Lin Zhan's life, and he should let him choose it himself.
"By the way, Zhan'er, I always feel that according to Rao'er's temperament, I won't kiss you privately."
"Haha."
Lin Zhan smiled when he heard this, "That's natural, aunt rest assured, Rao'er grew up with me, I don't know what kind of character she is." ” "Then you go to the capital and ask Rao'er."
Lin Zhan nodded, in fact, he could not go to this kind of trivial matter, but he was reluctant to let go of it when he finally found an excuse.
When I return to Beijing, I will go to Qi's house again...
