Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 495: The eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family (17)

Zhao Su took Zhao Fuyao into Chengxin Courtyard and suddenly asked:

"Where's Madame?"

Nanny Chang said, "Madam...you should be in the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard. The servant came to announce that you, the Marquis, have returned and is calling the Second Young Lady to the main hall for dinner."

"Ah."

Zhao Su said, "Go find me some casual clothes so I can change into them."

"Yes."

At this time in the Hexiang Courtyard, Fu Huaiying was asking Hongxiu to wrap the hood.

When Fu Huaiying came back in the morning, he went to the East Market again and bought a set of standard jewelry to add to Zhao Ying's makeup.

Hong Ling walked into the house from the courtyard and said to Huai Ying, "Madam, the Marquis has returned. The old lady asked everyone to go to the main hall for dinner."

"understood."

Fu Huaiying said to Hongling, "Come with me. It's very sunny outside. Let's find a parasol."

After Hongling left, Fu Huaiying asked Hongxiu to look after the medicine she was going to take.

In Hexiangyuan, Fu Huaiying only trusted Hongxiu. The medicine prescribed by Doctor Zhu was prepared under Hongxiu's supervision and then given to Fu Huaiying to drink.

"Madam, the Marquis may stay in Hexiangyuan tonight. Do you want us to prepare an extra set of bedding?" Hongxiu asked.

"Need not."

At this time, Hongling also took the umbrella and waited at the door.

...

When he reached the door of the dining hall, Fu Huaiying saw Zhao Su, Marquis of Dingbei, at a glance.

Zhao Su was very tall and had an upright posture. His jawline was as hard as an axe, his thick eyebrows were like halberds, and his eyes were like hawks. When he looked over, few people dared to look him in the eye.

The armor on his body has been replaced with a purple robe, and a black belt around his waist makes his ape back and bee waist look taller than those noblemen in the capital, but he has a more solemn and murderous air than them.

The dining hall was extremely lively. This was the busiest and most crowded time Fu Huaiying had ever seen since he came here.

His second brother Zhao Lan and third brother Zhao Xuan, whom he had never met before, and even the old marquis's concubine Su came.

The old marquis had three concubines, but only Su was honest and honest, and was able to stay in the mansion after the old marquis passed away. She only gave birth to a daughter, who was three years older than Zhao Ying and married off to another place a few years ago.

On weekdays, Su lived in seclusion and rarely appeared in public. She would only come out to have meals with other people in the Marquis' Mansion on important holidays.

Everyone was having a great time. The old lady sat in the main seat, Zhao Su sat below, and Zhao Tunan and Zhao Fuyao sat on Zhao Su's left and right respectively.

Zhao Ying smiled brightly, leaning on the old lady's arm and talking to Zhao Su.

When Fu Huaiying stepped into the hall, Zhao Su looked up and saw Fu Huaiying wearing a sky-blue skirt.

She just smiled, said nothing, and sat in the only empty seat.

Zhao Su glanced at Fu Huaiying's face and found that there was no joy on her face. She even just glanced at him and then looked away indifferently.

Zhao Su frowned unconsciously, feeling that something was wrong.

Zhao Ying also noticed Fu Huaiying, took a glance and then looked away.

Chu Yuexiang said: "Oh, sister-in-law is here."

"Sister-in-law, when you went out today, did you witness the grand scene of the Marquis returning to the capital?" Chu Yuexiang teased with a smile.

Her husband, Zhao Lan, also laughed at the right moment and said, "Sister-in-law, you went out today? You must have seen it. When I was at Taifu Temple, I heard that Zhuque Street was packed with people. It was a very lively scene."

Marquis Dingbei defeated the Turks, and the people of the capital lined the streets to welcome him. It took the army nearly an hour just to march from Mingde Gate to Zhuque Gate.

Zhao Lan and Chu Yuexiang's eldest son, Zhao Qijian, then shouted, "Uncle, I heard that the Turkic Khan was extremely ugly, with scars all over his face. Is that true?"

Zhao Su said: "The Turkic Khan does have scars on his face, but they are not extremely ugly."

"I heard that Aye led 3,000 cavalrymen to overturn the Turkic tent and beat the Khan into a pulp!" As soon as Zhao Tunan said this, everyone burst into laughter.

Zhao Tunan would only show a little bit of his childish innocence in front of Zhao Su.

Zhao Xuan, the third wife, had no children. As he was young, he often played with his nephews and nieces, and was very popular with the children.

"When Tunan grows up, why don't you follow your father to the battlefield? You won't have to pester your father every day to tell you what happened on the battlefield."

Zhao Fuyao asked, "Will the Turks still go to the battlefield after losing their Aye?"

In recent years, the Turks have frequently offended, burning, killing and looting in the northwest region. The people, from the elderly to children, all hate the Turks deeply.

Zhao Lan smiled and said to Zhao Fuyao, "Yaoyao, our enemies are not limited to the Turks."

The old lady smiled kindly: "Okay, okay, let's talk about this after dinner."

The Marquis' Mansion pays great attention to table manners. Normally, no one talks much during meals, and the only sound on the table is the soft clatter of silver chopsticks against bowls and plates.

But today is special. Even the old lady still has a thousand words to say when she sees her returning son.

Seeing that there was no one to serve Zhao Su, the old lady asked her maid Qiuyue to serve the marquis.

"Xun Zhi, this roasted lamb is specially prepared for you. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Qiuyue cut a piece of mutton with a knife and put it on the plate in front of Zhao Su.

The most common food at the border is mutton.

However, Zhao Su didn't say anything and put the piece of mutton into his mouth.

...

After dinner, the old lady kept Zhao Su to ask questions.

Zhao Lan and Zhao Xuan left with their spouses and children. Zhao Fuyao and Zhao Tunan wanted to stay and wait for Zhao Su, so they sat under the locust tree in the yard to wait in the shade.

When Zhao Su came out of the main hall, he saw his two children sitting on a stone bench, looking drowsy.

Zhao Su frowned and angrily scolded Nanny Chang: "How could you let the master bask in the sun?"

Nanny Chang immediately said in panic, "Please forgive me, Marquis! The young master and the young lady said they wanted to wait for you to return to Chengxin Courtyard together. I have tried to persuade them, but it would not work!"

Zhao Fuyao was already feeling drowsy and was dozing off on Zhao Tunan's arm.

As soon as Zhao Tunan saw Zhao Su, he woke Zhao Fuyao up.

"Aye is here."

Zhao Su picked up Zhao Fuyao, and Zhao Tunan's eyes flashed with envy when he saw this.

He also wanted to be held in Aye's arms, but unfortunately he had grown up.

Zhao Su held Zhao Fuyao in one hand and Zhao Tunan in the other, and walked towards Chengxinyuan together.

In order to accommodate Zhao Tunan's pace, Zhao Su did not walk fast.

Along the way, he asked about all the matters at home and Zhao Tunan's academic progress.

Watching Zhao Tunan answer one by one, Zhao Su touched Zhao Tunan's head with his hand and said with emotion: "You have grown a lot taller this year."

After sending the two to Chengxin Courtyard, Zhao Su placed Zhao Fuyao on the couch and said to Zhao Tunan, "Stop making noises. I'll go see your mother."

Zhao Tunan's lips, which were originally bent, suddenly pursed. He wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he saw that Zhao Su had already left.

Zhao Tunan watched Zhao Su's back disappear behind the Chuihua Gate and felt extremely lost.

At this moment, he missed Fu Shuyue very much, and also remembered what Nanny Chang said to him a few days ago.

If Aye and that woman had their child, Aye's attention would definitely be drawn away.
