Now it seems that there is no need to persuade Zhou Jiaqing, so the Zhao brothers and sisters have become much more respectful in their salutes to the eldest lady.

Zhao Yunzhi is eighteen years old, and his style is very different from that of a military commander. He is handsome and elegant. When everyone looks at him, his elegant face is stained with a faint smile.

Zhao Yunzhen is fourteen this year, the same age as Zhou Jiaqing. Because she is younger, she calls Zhou Jiaqing cousin. When she was a child, she often got angry because of this and refused to call Zhou Jiaqing sister, so she was often scolded.

Zhao Yunzhen has a good appearance, with porcelain-skinned skin and red lips. He is dressed in fine brocade clothes and a thin ashes skirt, with white top and red bottom, and a white jade step, which makes him look really good-looking.

He is at a good age, he has an aura of lightness, his manners are graceful, and his etiquette is very decent. He is not shy because he comes to a small place.

After seeing the appearance of the two of them, several people in the Hou family also secretly admired them. Who is the irresponsible person who spread the rumor that the Zhao family is all rough?

Anyuan General Zhao Shi'an has two sons and one daughter. His eldest son Zhao Shaohuai has a son and a daughter. His eldest son Zhao Yunzhou is married and is stationed abroad with his father. His daughter Zhao Yunzhen is the third oldest.

Zhao Shian's second son is Zhao Shaoxiao, and his only son is Zhao Yunzhi, the second eldest son in the Zhao family.

Zhao Shian's daughter is Zhou Jiaqing's biological mother, Zhao Wener.

The ones who came to Da'an this time were Zhao Yunzhen, the daughter of the first eldest brother of the Zhao family, and Zhao Yunzhi, the son of the second eldest brother.

The Zhao family is a family of military commanders, with a simple population, and there is no messy relationship like concubines intermingling with each other. The relationship between the children is also very harmonious, so naturally their thoughts are simpler.

After the ceremony, Zhou Haiyang and Li Yaxuan were seen following the eldest lady, with smiles on their faces waiting for Zhou Jiaqing's introduction, but the smile on Li Yaxuan's face was much stiffer.

Next to them are Zhou Jiahao, Zhou Jiahua, Zhou Jiajing, and Qin Xingyue.

Zhou Jiaqing introduced them one by one, and after the two of them bowed, Li Yaxuan walked around to Zhou Jiaqing, faced Zhao Yunzhen, and said with a forced smile: "Zhen'er, you and Yunzhi have worked hard to come here. Second Aunt will take you there right now." Meet the old lady."

When they met for the first time, Li Yaxuan's show of kindness made the Zhao brothers and sisters a little uncomfortable. Zhou Jiahao took everything in his eyes from behind, especially Zhao Yunzhen's slight frown and Zhao Yunzhi's slightly changed expression.

What's more, Li Yaxuan is so rude when the mistress of the Hou Mansion is here!

Zhou Jiahao guessed that they didn't want to get too close to each other prematurely, so he strode forward, squeezed Li Yaxuan away, and said loudly: "Aunt, second sister, it's too rude to let my cousin stand at the door. It's better to invite my cousin and Cousin, come in."

Then he turned to Zhao Yunzhi and said with a smile: "I had the honor to visit the Zhao Mansion years ago. It happened that my cousin was not in the house, so we didn't have a chance to meet him. I'm very sorry, but I finally got to meet him today."

"Hello, cousin." He nodded slightly as a salute to Zhao Yunzhen without stopping too much.

Is this a sign of self-restraint and propriety?

Zhou Jiaqing looked at Zhou Jiahao, who was very polite but also worried about their feelings. He smiled in his heart without showing it on his face, and said: "Qing'er is rude. Cousin, cousin, let's go in. The old lady is waiting at Ronghua Residence."

Zhao Yunzhi nodded and waved to the boys behind him. The boys took out the gifts they brought from the carriage behind them. The servants of the Hou Mansion on the side immediately stepped forward to help and respectfully followed Zhao Yunzhi to the Hou Mansion. Go through the door.

The Zhao brothers and sisters followed Zhou Jiaqing and walked beside the eldest lady. The eldest lady asked softly: "Are General Zhao and Mrs. Zhao okay?"

Zhao Yunzhen nodded and said with a smile: "Grandpa is still in good health. Grandma occasionally has some minor problems. The doctor has seen that it's not a problem."

"That's good. You are bound to have some minor ailments as you age. You juniors should pay more attention to the elderly when they are around you. You should also pay more attention to the diet of the elderly. You cannot let them have their own temper." The eldest lady said warmly, with some pity in her eyes. .

In fact, the eldest lady's father and Zhou Jiaqing's grandfather were also good friends. They were both generals of the Eastern Qin Kingdom.

But now the Zhao family is in a bit of an awkward situation. General Zhao is already old, and he still has the title of general in the small place of Dupo. General Zhao's eldest son went to war with his father when he was young, and naturally has a lot of military exploits.

It stands to reason that he should take over the title of general, but since the war in Xiyun Kingdom, the Zhao family has been silent until now. If it weren't for the painting Zhou Jiaqing made in Pinghu Academy and the words he said, everyone might I have always complained about the Zhao family in my heart.

Although the emperor recognized General Zhao's contribution at the palace banquet, he has not yet issued any decree.

However, Zhao Yunzhi understood the eldest lady's expression and whispered in Zhou Jiaqing's ear: "Thanks to cousin Qing'er this time."

When he and his sister were on the road, a man who looked like a guard found him and handed him a letter. The letter asked him to postpone his departure for a month. He was deeply suspicious of this. Looking further down, Zhou Jiaqing was in the letter. , a straightforward analysis of Da'an City's current attitude towards the Zhao family.

Zhou Jiaqing didn't say a word, and felt even more guilty towards his grandfather and grandmother. He had never fulfilled his filial duty, nor had he fulfilled his filial duty for his biological mother. However, his grandfather and grandmother were not in good health as they got older, and they were still worrying about themselves. , send some extremely valuable things and money every other year to support her and her sister.

Zhao Yunzhen looked sideways, gently held Zhou Jiaqing's hand and said: "Cousin, don't think too much. As long as you are happy in the house, your grandfather and grandmother's wishes will not be in vain, and they will be happy in their hearts."

"I know." Zhou Jiaqing said.

The eldest lady looked at Zhou Jiaqing, who looked sad next to her, feeling a little distressed and thinking thoughtfully.

Zhou Jiahua saw the figures leaving in front of him, then looked at the gloomy-looking aunt beside him, and whispered to Zhou Jiajing: "Fifth sister, I heard that the second sister's cousin is not married yet?"

Li Yaxuan raised her head and glared at Zhou Jiahua. She sneered, looked at Zhou Jiahua with disdain, and said, "Third girl, are you looking at Zhou Jiaqing's cousin? Then I advise you to die." What kind of status is there in the Zhao family that you, a concubine, can match? It’s simply wishful thinking, why don’t you look in the mirror to see who you are, how can you compare to one of my Yun’er’s toes?”

Since the death of Zhou Jiayun, this aunt has not acted like a virtuous person. Whenever she sees Zhou Jiahua, she will look fierce and vent her anger on her. She will make sarcastic remarks from time to time, making the backyard of the second house unsafe.

"Shut up, that evil girl is dead, why are you bringing it up! You have no ability to keep the evil girl, so why are you blaming Hua'er here? What do you mean by Hua'er's concubine? If you dislike Hua'er's identity, I I will take care of Hua'er tomorrow..." Zhou Haiyang looked at each other angrily.
