Chapter 326 The third marriage is destined, the seventh marriage depends on hard work
"Owner?"
How did you become the master here?
Chu Nanzhi felt confused and was surrounded by a group of people and welcomed into the yard.
Going straight in, after walking for a long time, I saw a group of male and female servants in various costumes standing in front of a majestic main courtyard.
She glanced over and immediately found a familiar figure in the crowd.
She was not allowed to respond, and the crowd in front of the courtyard immediately bowed down and called her kindly: "I have seen the master."
Afterwards, that familiar figure walked towards her with a smile.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, so Miss Chu is safe?"
Chu Nanzhi bowed to the visitor with sincerity and trepidation, and said with a stiff smile, "Is Mr. Zhao still in good health?"
"As I get older, some minor situations are inevitable, but recently I have been very stable and healthy."
Mr. Zhao arrived in front of her, stood firmly on his feet, leaned on the pure gold crutch in his hand, looked around, and gestured to her with a smile: "How is it? Mrs. Chu is very fond of this house." Still satisfied?"
Chu Nanzhi didn't know what he meant, so he could only smile lightly and said: "This house is located in a busy city, but it is elegant and quiet. There are pavilions and pavilions full of golden carvings, tall and gorgeous, but it is very dazzling."
"That's good, Mrs. Chu please."
Zhao Taigong nodded in satisfaction, and led her to the expert.
In the spacious and comfortable living room, Zhao Taigong offered her a seat graciously, and then ordered his servants to serve tea for her. Looking at her radiant and pleasant face, she was a little more feminine than when he saw her before. Beautiful and gentle, the joy in my heart cannot be expressed in words, but I just kept stroking my beard and nodding my head.
Chu Nanzhi casually picked up the tea bowl, smelling the aroma of tea, and was about to drink it, when she inadvertently noticed the strange eyes cast by Zhao Taigong, she couldn't help being startled, stopped her movements, and put the tea bowl back on the table on, hesitantly asked:
"I don't know what the grandpa invited me here today?"
Zhao Taigong groaned and did not answer, but silently made a look at the servant beside him, and soon he saw the servant walking in front with a tray in his hand, and two people behind him came up carrying a box.
Zhao Taigong led his servants to her, lifted the red cloth on the tray, and opened the box, revealing the gleaming gold and a large amount of silver bills in the tray.
Chu Nanzhi and Sang Qi looked at each other for a moment:
What do you mean?
"Here are one thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver. The last time Mrs. Chu avenged my son, the old man has never thanked her in person. Today I have the courage to invite you to thank Mrs. Chu for her kindness in person. I also invite Mrs. Chu." Be sure to smile."
As soon as Grandpa Zhao finished speaking, Chu Nanzhi waved her hands in fear: "Grandpa is really polite. Regarding your son, Grandpa has asked Mr. Hu to send the reward. These gold and silver slaves really don't dare to accept it anymore. The kind slaves will accept it." .”
It’s a full twenty thousand taels of silver. Although it’s tempting to look at, it’s not easy to put it in your pocket with peace of mind.
I'm afraid that the old man is holding something in his heart.
Wouldn't it be the big brother who wants to be my mother?
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Elder Zhao didn’t force it any more, and motioned the servants to put the tray on the side table first, then sat back on the main seat, and said in a low tone: "It seems that Mrs. Chu still has some complaints about the negligence of the old man before."
"Too public speaking."
Chu Nanzhi was very puzzled by his words, and quickly explained: "The Grandpa was very concerned about the matter before, and some disputes over the entrusted loyalty of the slave family are natural, but it is the slave family who thinks carefully It’s not thoughtful enough, it’s reckless.”
"Miss Chu is so magnanimous, it really makes me feel ashamed."
Mr. Zhao sighed full of self-reproach, and regretted with resentment: "A woman as dignified, soft, beautiful and general as Mrs. Chu would be publicly dismissed by a descendant of the downcast royal family. Not fair."
"what?"
Chu Nanzhi showed a look of astonishment, and couldn't understand his words even more.
"I've also heard about Mrs. Chu's affairs. That Lin Jinxiao is really not a thing. Your Chu family has treated him well all these years. Now that he has become rich, he is ungrateful and divorced his wife in front of the county government office. It's so inferior to a pig and a dog. It's just like everyone's anger."
Zhao Taigong scolded Lin Jinxiao angrily, then calmed down, and comforted Chu Nanzhi in a soft voice: "Miss Chu, you don't have to be afraid, how can such an outstanding woman like you suffer such a shame and humiliation? It’s another courtyard in the city that I’ve specially prepared for you, so you don’t have to worry about staying here for the time being.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the banknotes and a box of gold on the table again, and said loudly, "The lady of Chu keeps these silver bills for expenses, and if they are not old enough, I will send them over."
"Why do I become more and more confused the more I listen to Taigong's words?"
Chu Nanzhi recalled that when he entered the courtyard just now, those servants all called him master, could it be that this old man wanted to marry him to come in?
Seeing that she was ignorant, Zhao Taigong didn't know whether she really didn't understand or pretended to be confused, so he said bluntly:
"I won't beat around the bush. Ever since I first met Mrs. Chu, I have felt that you have a different temperament from other women. I really feel pity for you. Now I can't bear to see you being humiliated by that shabby household. If you are like Mrs. Chu Don't give up, this old man is willing to welcome you through the door immediately and be the wife of my Zhao family."
"Poof."
Chu Nanzhi almost spit out the tea she just drank.
She quickly covered her mouth, tried her best to adjust her excited emotions, calm down the tumbling blood, and try her best to keep herself calm.
The richest man deserves to be the richest man, I really want to come out as soon as possible, I still remember that when he was looking for his son for him, he almost killed himself, and now he talks about pity and pity.
No wonder he made such a big shot, it turned out he had this in mind.
Sang Qi secretly glanced contemptuously at the wrinkled old man with age spots on his cheeks and neck, and rubbed his master's back in a funny and angry way.
Compared to the handsome and picturesque young lord at home, the old man in front of him could be the master's grandfather, but he still wants to break up the marriage. I don't know where he got his confidence.
Grandpa Zhao looked at Chu Nanzhi's sudden move and felt that he had been greatly insulted. He suppressed the anger in his heart and made a solemn promise: "If Mrs. Chu thinks that the old man is joking, the old man can make a will right now. Well, after a hundred years of old age, I will entrust all of my Zhao family's property to Mrs. Chu, and I will never break my promise."
Seeing that he was about to get up, Chu Nanzhi quickly waved her hands: "No, no, I believe in the sincerity of the grandpa."
This is really destined for the third marriage, and the seventh marriage depends on hard work.
Mr. Zhao has married four wives, but now he wants to be his fifth wife. Even if he really has good intentions, he can't do it.
She couldn't even accept Lin Jinxiao's fair face for the time being, so how could she accept an ancient and rare old man.
My old lady does not want to be a widow at a young age.
The routine of the rich is really not attractive to my wife.
Zhao Taigong noticed the panic in her eyes, as if she had some concerns, and asked anxiously: "Could it be that Mrs. Chu is afraid that the old man will not be able to fight against the poor and settle down, and will not be able to protect you?"
After asking, he answered confidently: "You can rest assured about this. Lin Jinxiao is only a county magistrate outside the fifth rank, and old is not to be feared. The nobleman Yue who went out from your natal Tong'an Village has been arrested at the beginning of the year. Canonized as a noble concubine, the old man has a deep friendship with Concubine Yue, and it was the old man who supported her in the palace draft.
A while ago, she deliberately sent a letter to the old man that she would return to her hometown to visit relatives in the near future. At that time, the old man only needs to let her know, and he will be able to remove Lin Jinxiao from his official position and avenge the hatred of divorce for Mrs. Chu. "
My old lady will not be fooled, such a bad old man.
Chu Nanzhi immediately waved his hand: "Grandpa Zhao, don't listen to those rumors. The relationship between my slave and my humble husband has always been harmonious. What happened in front of the county government a few days ago was just a misunderstanding."
