Vol 2 Chapter 101: Marriage considerations

The courtyard where Zhao Taozhuang lived was called "Buhuayuan". As the name of this place, the entrance was an atrium full of flowers and grass. There were not a few rockeries in the middle. Looking out, the green branches could not be covered by ice and snow. It is the evergreen Hui Mu who is unwilling to look at his head lonely.
And the snow that was significantly higher than the ground was covered. It is conceivable how busy the bustling scene will be in the spring of the coming year.
Not only that, the floor tiles and railings are engraved with various floral patterns: tangled peony, tangled peony, orchid flower, joint jewelry ...
Because it was still snowing, they didn't walk down the cobblestone path in the atrium, but instead followed the gates on the left and right side of the hand-painted veranda.
The veranda here is the same as the flower room. It is sealed with glazed glass, and there is a dragon on the ground.
There is a beauty rest on the outside of the cloister. Naturally, no one will lean in this season-so a row of ivory red, white-glazed plain hexagonal flower pots lined with red flowers and green leaves are becoming more and more bright. Prosperous, very close atmosphere.
Zhao Taozhuang took the lead to lead everyone into the house, and the girls went up and unfurled their masters.
"Although Jinzhai Cuimei's reputation is not inferior, but I love this taste alone." Mingren made tea and fruit, Zhao Taozhuang greeted, "You try it! If you don't like it, I'm still here There are several other types of tea that grandma appreciates. "
Sheng Weiqiao and others naturally could n’t say that they did n’t like it. They took a sweet white-glazed heron, a lotus tea, and a golden tea bowl. They all said,
This tea is so green that it stands upright in the water, it tastes sweet and refreshing. [Note 1], no wonder You will like it. "
Zhao Taozhuang also recommended the snacks that came with the tea: "This snowflake crisp [Note 2] is fried with oil, I always feel a little tired after eating it, but it is just right with this tea."
While some people were using refreshments, Sheng Weiqiao and his party had to look at her boudoir—but they saw the house covered with green branches and four seasons floral patterns and weaving gold quills, probably because of the thick curtains on the door this season. The screen is not used in the place, only in the hall inside, there is a jeweled red inlaid sculpted openwork with patterned drums and a black lacquered engraved roll grass inlaid mica inlaid with pictures of ladies. Floor-standing screen.
This time, Sheng Weiqiao turned his eyes around the picture of the beautiful lady with flowers, and recognized one of the girls wearing a snake, wearing a jadeite, and wearing a triple coat of white, green and purple. It was Zhao Tao. Makeup is a gesture of smiling, bowing her head, and inserting a peach flower between her cymbals.
"My fifth brother likes Dan Qing. Last spring, our sister-in-law was playing in the garden and was seen by him, and he drew it." Zhao Taozhuang noticed her sight and introduced it with a smile. It's in this screen. "
Sheng Weiqiao took a closer look and found that the location of the screen center picture was originally two pieces of glazed glass. If he wanted to, he had set up an organization, and he could change the inner and middle picture scrolls at will.
"Beauty is picturesque, of course, it must be portrayed as a commemoration." She praised with a smile. She didn't see much emotion on her face, but remembered Sheng Shenghe's admonition. She didn't want to go too close to Zhao family, but secretly Admire the youngest girl in the picture-it should be Miss Zhao Jiasan Zhao Taoxun, Zhao Taozhuang's cousin, the long one is called a national color, heavenly fragrance, bright and beautiful!
Sheng Weiqiao is also a very beautiful girl. This Tao Taozheng is not to say that she is so beautiful as to make herself feel filthy, but Sheng Weiqiao's temperament is peaceful and clean, not aggressive. She is the kind of quiet, delicate, delicate, and even naive. The beauty of Zhao Taoyu is magnificent and magnificent, reminiscent of the apricot blossoms in the mountains in March, the kind of "zhengyan apricot burning forest", overwhelming and surging, is seemingly weak but full of aggressive beauty.
"If this girl appears in the crowd, even if there are people around her who are not inferior to her appearance, but at first glance, the first thing she notices must be her." Sheng Weiqiao thought silently, with a little regret, "to It wasn't my brother who said he couldn't get too close to this Zhao family, I really want to see her in person! "
But I do n’t know the back hall at the moment. Mrs. Qin leaned on the bottom of her teeth and played with the ink-stained sac inlaid with sculptural borders, and she was talking to Mother Ge: "Look at the girls we see today ? "
Mother Ge kneeled on the pediment of the yellow pear-tree plum pattern and gold on the couch, holding her with a small jade hammer and gently rubbing her legs, and said gently: "You are obviously satisfied with such a sentence. Otherwise , Even if I have seen it, I am too lazy to mention a word. "
"After all, you know my heart," said Mrs. Qin, smiling slightly, "how about telling him to Xiao Wu?"
She said that the fifth child was the son of the Zhao family's big house, the author of the picture of the beautiful lady in Zhao Taozhuang's house, Zhao Li, the fifth son of the Zhao family.
His father, Zhao Shi, was the eldest son of Mrs. Qin and the old lady of the Zhao family, and the brother of Princess Gaomi's siblings. When he was young, he married the aunt and cousin Qiu of Qingmei Zhuma.
The two had eight children before and after, but three died in the house. The survivors were the eldest son Zhao Shan, the young lady Zhao Taoxuan, the second son Zhao Chong, the fifth son Zhao Li, and the third daughter Zhao Taoxuan.
It is a pity that Qiu's health was not good in her early years. Although she had made a lot of improvements after she became married, her succession of babies and children seemed to have exhausted her energy. Not long after Zhao Taozhen was born, she died of illness.
At that time, Mrs. Qin and Zhao Shi were very sad, and even in order to avoid touching the scene, Zhao Shi has been staying in North Xinjiang for many years and has never returned. Zhao Family is a heir to the poems. Zhao Yan was ranked in the top spot as the explorer, but he was also famous in the second place.
However, he walked around in the middle, but he made a contribution from Congrong. Now he is the deputy commander of the Northern Army and the official is the general Huaihua of Sanpin.
The eldest son and second son of the Zhao family, because they were men, were called by him to be sharpened in northern Xinjiang a few years ago.
However, Zhao Bu, the fourth son of the servant, and Zhao Li, who was still young at the time, were all retained by Mrs. Qin. Together with her two daughters, Zhao Taoxuan and Zhao Taoxuan, both grew up with the former wife and lived in Zhao House.
This Zhao Li is eighteen years old this year. His sisters are pretty women, and his looks are not bad.
It's just that because of the drunk heart, I don't care much for homework.
Supervised by his uncle Zhao Xun, now there is only the talent of a talent-the talent of this age is also considered extraordinary in ordinary people, but it is not enough to see in Zhao's family.
Neither Mrs. Qin nor Mr. Zhao was dissatisfied with this. He was repeatedly ordered to give up Dan Qing and concentrate on his schoolwork. However, Zhao Li was usually mild-tempered, but he did not budge on the issues related to his preferences. Degree of break with home.
It is also because of the stalemate that he is almost crowned up to now, and the marriage has not been settled-the family has patronized the direction of his efforts to correct him, and he has no time to discuss his relatives.
Looking at him later, he really refused to change. Zhao Xie was afraid to force the nephew to run away from home. At that time, he would not be able to explain to his brother. He could only hold his temper, and in turn persuaded Mrs. Qin to anger.
When Mrs. Qin saw this situation, she also knew that the grandson's mind was not in the imperial examination system, but she decided to study it in Danqing together. There are four sons and two daughters in the big house of Zhao family; Female: Zhao Bai, the third son, Zhao Yan, the sixth son, Zhao Du, the seventh son, and Miss Tao Tao, the second son.
Regardless of his qualifications, Zhao Li's other brothers are earnestly motivated and strive to maintain and pass on the lintel of their own door.
Therefore, Zhao Li couldn't stand it, and Mrs. Qin was able to accept it after she was angry, but she was concerned about his future: "Xiao Wu didn't like articles and liked to paint. However, from ancient times to today, the wealthy people of the imperial examinations are unknown, but by Dan Qing. How many people don't worry?
This is the truth. Many Danqing masters are often embarrassed when they are alive. They are displaced throughout their lives, and their wives and children are often very downcast.
A few of them were developed before they were born, and some of them were because they took the meritorious name first and became famous with Danqing, or they inherited the rich family property of their ancestors.
Zhao Li was obsessed with it and could not think of the future, but Mrs. Qin could not help but plan for him. "Our family remembers the ancestral teachings. Although we have been in the family for generations, we have never been involved in bribery. It is considered rich and wealthy, but it is not much in the high gates of Chang'an. The fifth generation of them, not the dowry of a girl, has seven men and one boy. Even if two sisters ca n’t divide much, but There are also five mules left. "
"Primary five is not the eldest son of the uncle, he will be limited even if he can get more shares than the uncle."
"This child's mind is immersed in his preferences. Where does he know the art of business? He is also a man who sees his favorite paintings and tries to buy them and try to figure out ... This nature. Son, it really makes me worry. Once we elders After they went, the children separated and lived separately. The child was afraid that he would lose his share of the family's property within a few years. Wouldn't it be a hard time in the future? "
Mrs. Qin sighed, "Miss Sheng's family, although the family history is a little worse, but at the age of his brother, he dared to come to Chang'an to participate in the Spring Festival. It can be seen that this is an excellent one, and her family may not be worthy to follow. Our family has come and gone; secondly, after her father Sheng Lan resigned, it was said that he was devoted to ancestral birth, and he is now the number one magnate in Nanfeng County. Sheng Lan resigned to pamper his wife and daughter. It seems good to tell her to Xiao Wu? "
Mother Ge would say, "Sheng Shixiong is notorious for his eldest son. Since this lady Sheng San has won the favor of Sheng Lan, as long as she is married to the fifth son, if she wants to play the name of General Zhou, Afraid Sheng Shixiong will not do our best for us? "
But she also reminded, "It's just that the sons and daughters of Sheng Family live in Ningweihou Mansion at the moment, and the children under Ning Weihou's wife's knees have also said that they are not married at the same age. If they were going to get married with the Sheng family, they would have gotten the moon near the water tower-the old slave heard that Ningwei Hou Shizi came to Chang'an on the Sheng boat. "
"That's how I think about it, and I don't want to get married immediately." Mrs. Qin heard that, and shook her head slightly. "Although Xiao Wu refused to make progress, some of the best daughters don't think much. Maybe to him, but with the reputation of our doorstep, there are more people who want to get married with us, especially the fifth child is a bitch! "
"Although she is good, and her family is also satisfying to me, after all, she came to Changan. After all, she has to observe a few days before she can come to a conclusion. Otherwise, if she finds it inappropriate to marry her, Did n’t he hurt Xiaowu instead?

He raised his chin forward. "Her brother is here today, and is working with Ning Wei and Hou Shizi. They are being received by Primary Three Primary Four Primary Five? Wait for the evaluation of those children in the evening. ! "
Upon hearing this, Ms. Ge said, "The grandson of the Sheng family and the son of Ning Wei and Hou Shi, both came to rush for the exam."
"After all, my family's voice is the most important thing." Mrs. Qin understood what she meant and said calmly, "If these children are really talented, Xun Er will not hang them because of Tao Zhuang's idea; but if they wait Gorgeous people, Ye Er will not visit the selfish because of their visit today-my Zhao family's current status and clean name, relying on the generations to abide by the ancestral precepts, self-denial and devotion to the public, and the son of God is tolerated?
