His father is so foresight!
Zhao Yuanlin attaches great importance to his sister's marriage with Xiao Wanjin and is actively promoting it. Therefore, during this period, he also took the initiative to find Xiao Wanjin to go out and have a good relationship in advance.
He felt it necessary for him to learn from his father and think about how he gained his uncle's trust and how he embezzled the good things in his uncle's hands.
What his father can do is unreasonable. He can't do it himself.
But now, he was very upset to learn that his aunt wanted to intervene.
Looking at their faces in the early years was enough for him to hold back. He didn't want to look at others' faces in the future. He must live as a master.
His aunt is a schemer. Unfortunately, her daughter is a fool and a drag.
What surprised him even more was that cousin Xi took the initiative to get close to herself. The meaning revealed in her words was obviously interested in him and didn't want to marry into the Xiao family.
That's interesting!
He was ashamed of her kindness. He didn't forget the face they threw at him in the early years. Although he didn't like Yan Xixi, it didn't prevent him from playing with her.
She took the initiative to send it to the door. She didn't play for nothing. Besides, didn't she also mean that?
As for the head mother of the Zhao family? Oh, dream! Don't even think about it.
But for his sister's happiness, he naturally had to solve all potential hidden dangers, and his aunt's plan was doomed to fail.
**
The next day, the Zhao family.
After breakfast, Zhao Yuanlin asked his sister when she asked the carriage to go out.
"Li Xiang, where are you going so early?"
Zhao Lixiang, who was suddenly shouted for questioning, flashed slightly in her eyes and said timidly, "I have an appointment with cousin Xiang. I'll go to her house today."
Zhao Yuanlin frowned slightly, "are you alone?"
Zhao Lixiang paused and replied honestly; "Baozhu also wants to go, so I'll pick her up and go to the countryside now."
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanlin couldn't help thinking more. His aunt had the idea of the Xiao family. In such a period, his little cousin even invited her sister to play in the countryside. Xiao Baozhu accompanied him. He was a little worried about what he thought.
His impression of his little cousin is better than that of cousin Xi. Compared with the arrogant cousin Xi, Xiangxiang's little cousin is much more lovable and pleasing.
He didn't question his little cousin's behavior. After all, he is a 13-year-old girl. What can he have too much mind? I'm afraid it's my aunt's handwriting behind it.
"I haven't been to the countryside for a long time. I'll go with you."
If it's just a simple invitation, it's naturally good, but if he has other thoughts, he can go with him and stare at it in person.
The most important thing was to think that the big house would be his soon. He couldn't help feeling excited and wanted to have a good look in person.
Before I went to Yan Family Mansion, I was a guest. I had to go after a seat, but now I go to Yan Family Mansion, and my mood is completely different.
Where he is going now is his house. What can't he go?
Secondly, there is another reason. He hasn't seen Yan Ze's fiancee before. He just went to have a look.
Before his sister married into the Xiao family, he always had to solve Yan Xixi first. It was not the most effective way to deal with her all the time.
I'm afraid that his aunt is in a hurry and makes some stupid moves. It's too late to regret at that time.
Therefore, he decided to take this opportunity to start first.
Anyway, women suffer from that kind of thing. Even if they are known, it will damage women's reputation and have little impact on him.
After all, men, who don't care and don't have three wives and four concubines? At that time, he pushed Yan Xixi directly and finally gave her the identity of an aunt.
As for whether my aunt will make trouble?
Oh, he's not worried about it at all.
Who else can a woman without a reputation marry? It's them, not him.
They have no choice but to bear it and accept their decisions.
Zhao Lixiang didn't expect that her brother also wanted to go with her. She couldn't help feeling guilty. After all, this time she went to Mingshan village, she didn't just go to the village to play.
But she can't refute her brother. She can only promise first. See you then.
"OK, let's go."
To the surprise of the Zhao brothers and sisters, Xiao Wanjin was interested when he learned that Xiao Baozhu was going to follow Zhao Lixiang to the countryside, and that he was still at Yan Ze's house.
The joy of schadenfreude!
He knows that Yan Ze's father has mortgaged Yan's cloth shop in order to smoke a lot. I'm afraid his family doesn't know about it.
And some time ago, his father drank too much once. He preached some of his great achievements to him. He inadvertently mentioned the Yan Family and let him hear something intermittently.
"The good days of the Yan family are coming to an end."
"Hum, the Yan family has also become my defeated generals."
"In the future, the Yan family will completely disappear from Anju town!"
"Think of the Yan Family in those days. It was so beautiful that it was killing us small businessmen."
"Unexpectedly, the Yan family raised such a loser, ha ha ha ~"
From these intermittent words, Xiao Wanjin came to the conclusion that the Yan family was going to be poor!
He couldn't help being happy at the thought of it.
Yan Ze is not very arrogant. He wants to see if he dare to be arrogant when he learns that his father has lost all his family?
He can't wait to share the good news with Yan Ze.
So when he learned that his sister was going to Yan's house, he joined the team of going to the countryside without hesitation.
So a group of five people drove towards Mingshan village in a carriage.
In addition to the four brothers and sisters of the Xiao family and the Zhao family, a 17-year-old girl named Chen Xinger, a relative of Mrs. Chen's mother's family, was sent to Xiao Baozhu as a playmate.
It's said to be a companion. In fact, it's no different from a servant girl. Xiao Baozhu will follow and take care of her wherever she goes.
In order to highlight her superior status, Xiao Baozhu specially takes Chen Xinger as her attendant when she goes out.
Recently, their family is close to the Zhao family. She also knows about the two families' marriage, and that the elders of the two families intend to pair them up.
Originally she didn't take it to heart, but her mother did some analysis for her. After listening to it, she suddenly realized that what her mother said was very reasonable.
She knows that her reputation is not very good in Anju town. Many children of good families don't see themselves, but the conditions are too poor for her and her mother. They are all crooked melons and cracked dates.
