The daughter of the first wife is a little fierce: the war god prince loves her to the sky
Chapter 44 Visiting the Zhao Family
Although Bai Linan had instructed Mrs. Xie to hold a grand ceremony for the coming-of-age ceremony, how could Mrs. Xie tolerate it? So she claimed to be ill and did not go out for the past few days. The second aunt had to come to help. After all, entertaining guests and preparing food were very tedious and could not be sloppy. Mrs. Xie was still unwilling to see her coming, but she was too lazy to do it for Bai Chuxiao, so she had to give up.
The second aunt also brought over her mother's dowry list. Bai Chuxiao looked at the list and frowned. There were many rare treasures on it.
After all, the Murong family was also a founding hero, and they fought in all directions, so naturally they had a lot of gold, silver, treasures, and rare treasures. Her mother's dowry was also very rich.
But now, she didn't have any of these things in her yard. But there was no rush, they would have to spit them out sooner or later. After putting away the list, she heard Qingzhu's noisy voice outside the door.
"Miss, Miss, something bad has happened." Qingzhu came in hurriedly, twisting a bunch of things and not putting them down yet.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Miss, I just went out shopping with Qingshuang, and I saw King Yan actually enter Chunfeng Pavilion, which is a brothel. I never thought that King Yan would be such a person," Qingzhu said angrily.
Qing Shuang felt that she was from Prince Yan's mansion after all, so it was necessary for her to protect the reputation of her former master. "Miss, I think Prince Yan might have something wrong. After all, a brothel is the easiest place to get information. Maybe..."
Qingzhu didn't think so, "Miss, you have to be on guard, men are not good people..."
Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly, "Okay, look at how nervous you are. If Chu Tianze really dares to do something, I will break his legs..."
She naturally didn't believe what Chu Tianze would do, but she also wanted to see the famous Chunfeng Pavilion.
She quickly disguised herself, and there was one more handsome man in the capital. She did not go directly to Chunfeng Pavilion, but went to Zhao's house first, intending to take Zhao Sifang with her.
This was also Bai Chuxiao's first visit to the Zhao family, so the conspicuous girl in red naturally came out to greet him and joked, "Hey, Zui'an, it's been a long time since we last met."
Bai Chuxiao patted him unhappily with her folding fan, "I've been back for so long, but I haven't visited you yet. Why don't you welcome me?"
"How could that be? I am naturally happy that Zuian can come."
After entering the mansion, Bai Chuxiao was amazed. It was indeed a place where rich people lived.
"How's it going? Not bad, isn't it? Look at how useless you are. How about you give up that guy... and follow me? From now on, you can sleep on a mountain of money."
"Go away, am I such a superficial person..."
"Brother, who is this?" a girl's voice came
Bai Chuxiao looked at the woman's dress and shook her head secretly. The Zhao family was at least somewhat prestigious, but the woman in front of her was dressed like a nouveau riche.
"This is my good brother, Su Zuian, what can I do for you?"
The girl ignored Zhao Sifang's words and bowed to Bai Chuxiao instead, saying with a smile, "It turns out to be Mr. Su. Xin'er is polite."
Seeing the girl in front of her with golden eyes, Bai Chuxiao felt a little scared. She didn't have that kind of fetish...
"Ahem... Ahem... Hello, Miss Xin'er."
Zhao Xiner became even more enthusiastic, "Mr. Su, your family is in the capital? You too, brother, have never mentioned it before. Why don't you stay at the Zhao family for a while longer? Xiner will definitely treat you well."
Zhao Sifang looked at his sister, speechless and looking up at the sky. He was infatuated again. Why did Zui An make up so handsome? Now that his sister has set her eyes on him, it will be hard to get rid of him in the future.
"Okay, Xin'er, I still have to take Zuian to visit my grandfather. We can't delay any longer. Let's talk about it later."
Hearing the word grandfather, Zhao Xiner didn't dare to say anything more. The old man had great prestige in the mansion, so she didn't dare to be presumptuous. As for Mr. Su, there were still plenty of opportunities.
After Zhao Xiner left with a shining gaze, Bai Chuxiao asked, "Is this your biological sister? What happened to her..."
Zhao Sifang was somewhat helpless. "Unfortunately, this is indeed my younger sister. She probably fell in love with you because you are so handsome. She always likes good-looking people..."
Zhao Xiner is not young anymore. As the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family master, she should have no trouble finding a husband. However, Zhao Xiner has always loved gold, silver and jewelry, and she wants to be covered in them. This is in Kyoto. Seeing her behavior, the nobles and dignitaries all stay away from her. No one dares to marry her as a principal wife, and the Zhao family master will naturally not let her be a concubine. The marriage is wasted. However, Zhao Xiner does not care. She does not value family status, she only cares about appearance. She thinks it is not bad to find a good-looking woman to marry into the Zhao family, and the Zhao family can still afford it...
Bai Chuxiao shuddered, "She doesn't want me to marry into her family, does she?"
Zhao Sifang spread his hands, "This... is obvious."
As they were talking, they unknowingly came to a secluded courtyard, "Does your grandfather live here?"
Such a quiet and peaceful courtyard is different from the style of the entire Zhao family.
"Yes, after Grandpa retired, he moved here to rest, saying that he didn't want to care about those mundane matters anymore. But I still often bother him with some things, and he would also meet me. I was able to take over the Zhao family so quickly because of Grandpa's guidance behind the scenes..."
Bai Chuxiao nodded, "Your grandfather treats you well."
Now the head of the Zhao family is not good at doing business, so he doesn't interfere in business matters. He just occupies the title of the head of the family. Everything in the Zhao family is basically controlled by Zhao Sifang. Zhao Sifang is young and can't control the people below. Fortunately, the old man of the Zhao family is willing to give advice and delegate power, which made Zhao Sifang famous.
Mr. Zhao was sitting in the yard playing chess, leaving only a servant to follow him.
"Hello, Grandpa...Hello, old man..." Zhao Sifang brought Bai Chuxiao in and greeted them.
Mr. Zhao didn't raise his head. "Who is this?"
Bai Chuxiao quickly smiled and said, "My name is Su Zuian. I have heard of Mr. Zhao's name a long time ago, so I came here to meet him today."
Zhao Sifang also laughed and said, "Grandpa, Zui'an is my friend. I told you about the one who saved my life before."
Old Master Zhao held a chess piece in his hand, then he looked up at Bai Chuxiao, and after sizing her up for a long while, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Su, for saving my life back then. Mr. Su, if you are free today, why don't you sit down and play another game with me, an old man?"
Bai Chuxiao always felt that the old man's glances at her were meaningful, as if he had seen through her disguise. However, when she thought about it carefully, she felt that it was impossible. The old man was only good at business... It shouldn't be possible.
"I can't refuse your kindness, but Zui'an is not proficient in chess, I'm afraid..."
Mr. Zhao smiled kindly and said, "No problem."
Bai Chuxiao then sat down and started playing chess with Mr. Zhao, which made Zhao Sifang, who was standing behind her, curl his lips.
