The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 57: Never Take a Concubine (1)
After lunch, Zhao Shihua and Qian Pengyang took half a day off, and the family left and went home.

Not long after he walked out of the Qian Mansion, Zhao Shihua couldn't help but asked the little daughter in his arms: "Daughter said she won't recognize her father anymore?"

An Ran put her arms around her father's neck and said coquettishly: "Daddy won't marry aunt, right? Right? Daddy loves daughter the most, doesn't he?"

Seeing his daughter acting like a baby, Zhao Shihua felt his heart melt when he heard her soft and sweet voice.

"Daughter, Daddy's little darling, why doesn't Daddy love you? Don't worry, Daddy told you that he won't marry your aunt. You mustn't deny Daddy!"

An Ran put her arms around Daddy's neck, kissed him heavily on the face and said: "My daughter likes Daddy the most, and Daddy also likes Daddy the most!"

Zhao Shihua immediately smiled, and couldn't help rubbing his face against An Ran's, "Of course, Daddy loves my daughter the most. Daddy's sweetheart! If my daughter doesn't want Daddy, Daddy won't be able to survive."

Gu Wanniang could not help but glared at Zhao Shihua when she heard the two men's words becoming more and more irrelevant, and said, "How can you talk to your daughter like this? Look, the children have learned from you! Talking is not a big deal. No little one, she dared to say even if she didn't recognize her father, what else would she not dare to say? People from the Zhao family would think that our girl from the Zhao family was not filial..."

The father and daughter ignored her completely, and An Ran continued to hug her father's neck, looked into her father's eyes, pouted and said, "Then father wants to promise my daughter that she will never marry my aunt in this life! No matter what happens, I can't marry my aunt !"

"But sister! Why are you talking to your father?" Gu Wanniang was ignored by the father and daughter, and she stopped angrily and stomped her feet.

Who knows that Zhao Shihua actually nodded in agreement and said: "Okay, Daddy promises you that I will never marry my aunt in this life, and I will always love my daughter the most!"

An Ran was happy.She grinned, and her eyebrows and eyes were as bright as the morning glow in the sky in the early morning.Zhao Shihua couldn't help but kissed his daughter on the face again and said: "Daddy's baby, when you grow up, how can Daddy be willing to give you to someone else? Well, how about finding a son-in-law for our daughter in the future?" Yes. Wan Niang, what do you think?"

"Hehe, don't worry, Daddy. My daughter won't marry when she grows up, and she shouldn't be 'splashed water'. My daughter must honor Daddy for the rest of her life! Be Daddy's sweetheart forever!"

Looking at the father and daughter who completely ignored her, Gu Wanniang felt a little jealous in her heart.It seems that the daughter likes her father more?
But that evening, after her husband came back, Mrs. Yang told Gu Shengwen about what happened at the county magistrate's mansion during the day.

Gu Shengwen frowned and didn't speak for a long time.He often walked outside, so he naturally knew that it was indeed popular in official circles to give beautiful maids as gifts, and some people even gave away their own concubines.But when things really happened to him, he still felt very uncomfortable.You want to know what life is called when your younger sister marries into the Zhao family?After all, now that my brother-in-law is promising and his life is getting better, there are other women to enjoy the blessings?
However, what the wife said was not wrong. The county lord kindly gave someone to his brother-in-law, but the brother-in-law refused.

He thought about it, and sighed secretly, that's all, the big deal is to let his sister take him home and make a proper offering, so as not to let his brother-in-law get on his body.It's just that my sister has been living a hard life these past few years, and her age is long gone. I'm afraid that her brother-in-law will leave her aside when he finds a new man... Man, even if the husband and wife have been in love for many years, if there is a right and proper name in the family, you can pick it up How can you ignore the fresh and tender flowers?
Gu Shengwen didn't know whether his sister went to the county lord's house to make amends, so he hurried to Zhao's house with Yang Shi regardless of the night.Because they were not outsiders, Aunt Fang, who was guarding the door, let Gu Shengwen and Yang Shi come in without prior notice.She had to close the door herself, and lead the coachman of the Gu family to drink tea and wait in the porter's room.

Gu Shengwen and Mrs. Yang entered the courtyard and came to the main hall, only to see Zhao Shihua's family of four having just had dinner, sitting happily drinking tea and chatting together!

When Zhao Shihua saw his uncle coming to the door, his face was still not very good-looking, so he knew it must be because of something during the day.He immediately sent the three children back to the room, and then invited Gu Shengwen and Yang Shi to sit down and drink tea.

"Brother, sister-in-law, have you had dinner?" Zhao Shihua greeted, and then said to Gu Wanniang, "Wanniang, go and see if there is anything else to eat in the kitchen, get some hot food and bring it up, and I'll have a glass of wine with my brother."

Gu Shengwen is not a fool either, seeing Zhao Shihua's calm look and no gloomy face, he knew that the matter should be resolved.

Sure enough, without waiting for him to speak, Zhao Shihua took the initiative to talk about it.Gu Shengwen was also surprised to hear that it was Aunt Zhou who played tricks all along.After all, he has asked Mrs. Yang to give gifts to Aunt Zhou a lot during this time.Could it be that Aunt Zhou thinks his gift is too light?Otherwise, why bother with his sister?

Zhao Shihua shook his head and said, "It's because I didn't think carefully. But it's okay, offending Aunt Zhou is better than offending Mrs. Wen." Then, he told Gu Shengwen his guess.

"I thought Mrs. Wen was the wife of the main house after all, and this ceremony could not be lighter than Aunt Zhou's, or even the same. After all, there are differences between wives and concubines. I don't think Aunt Zhou is so narrow-minded, so she would hold a grudge because of it."

It is not difficult to guess the reason of the matter.Because Aunt Zhou was kind to Zhao Shihua and Gu Wanniang before, but apart from this, Zhao Shihua was sure that he had not offended her.

Hearing this, Gu Shengwen couldn't help sighing in his heart, it seems that women can't be underestimated!In the future, he must also pay attention to what he does, but don't accidentally offend people without knowing it.However, he was still very satisfied that his brother-in-law kept in mind the bond between husband and wife and declined the kindness of the county lord.The brother-in-law is a loyal person, and he will take care of them and take care of the family with his heart when he is successful in the future.

Gu Wanniang has always been thrifty, she just had dinner at home, and there is only a little leftovers left, and there is really nothing to get out.She asked the girl to quickly light the pancakes, and at the same time, she divided more than half of the snacks that An Qi brought back to An Ran today and sent them to the hall, and hurriedly cooked a few poached eggs and sent them over.
