"Father, mother, sister."

Zhao Cuo got off the carriage and stepped forward to greet his parents. As a son of a man, he naturally cannot be less polite to his elders.

"Come here quickly and tell me to take a good look at it."

The Duke's wife, Su Jinnian, with red eyes, pulled her only son, whom she had not seen for half a year, to her. As a filial son, Mr. Zhao naturally let her go. After all, he was his own mother.

"Don't act like a little girl in front of this house."

Duke Zheng was very happy and greeted everyone into the Governor's Mansion. Everyone had already had lunch, but at this time, a table of beautiful snacks was placed for a welcome feast.

"Our Zhao family's Qilin'er is really capable. Not only is she highly regarded by the Queen Mother, but her beautiful face can make many ladies' hearts flutter."

The Duke's wife did not hesitate to praise her son at the dinner table, saying that Zhao Cuo was rare in heaven and the only one in the world.

Young Master Zhao's outward smile remained unchanged, but he was already alert in his heart.

After complimenting him on his handsomeness, he must have urged marriage.

"No Jiu, you will be nineteen after your birthday in May." Zheng Guogong seized the opportunity and said casually, "You were already born when my father was your age."

"If it weren't for the enchantress who married into my Zhao family half a year ago, my daughter-in-law's stomach would also be upset. This important matter of passing on the family lineage cannot be delayed any longer."

The Duke's wife, Su Jinnian, sang harmoniously with her husband.

"The Queen Mother has already told you, Wu Jiu, right?"

Zheng Guogong's plan is to see the way.

"Um."

Zhao Cuo nodded as usual.

"The empress said that the King of Huainan wanted to marry his daughter to me."

"What do you think?"

Zheng Guogong asked calmly and in a consultative tone. Of course he also knew that his son could no longer be the same as he was six months ago, not to mention that he didn't like arranged marriages.

"This matter is not only a marriage between my son and me, but also about the relationship between the imperial court and the Huainan Kingdom. It needs to be carefully considered."

The purpose of Zhao Cuo's words was to characterize the situation as a state matter and pour cold water on his mother's enthusiasm for the marriage. As a woman who knows etiquette, the Duke's wife knew the priorities of the matter.

"It's good that you thought of this layer."

Duke Zheng nodded happily.

"Now that everyone knows that Wujiu, your holy family is in good health, and my Zhao family has always been loyal to the Queen Mother, King Huainan wants to take this opportunity to show his favor to the Queen Mother."

"I'd better meet Princess Anle first."

Young Master Zhao also had a headache for a while. The female devil wanted him to put this matter down nicely, but this was another extremely suitable marriage.

If there was another person in power, he would definitely have granted the marriage without hesitation.

No matter from which point of view, it is not easy for him to safely shirk this matter.

'What do you think, Sister Yanxin?'

Zhao Cuo suddenly looked at his elder sister who was sitting next to him. She had a gentle smile on her dignified and lovely face, as if she didn't care about his marriage at all. With a thought in his mind, he suddenly stretched out his hand under the table.

He held her catkin.

Su Jinnian said with a smile.

"good."

Zhao Shanxin smiled and nodded to her parents without restraint. Although she was adopted as a child bride by Zheng Guogong and his wife, her treatment was no worse than that of the young father-in-law because she really helped the Zhao family. Even those in the capital

She also has the final say in Zheng Guogong's mansion, which shows that the only female student in Xunshan Academy is very powerful.

"Why don't you behave properly in front of your parents?"

Just after the two siblings held hands and walked out of the dining hall, Zhao Shanxin turned around and stared at Mr. Zhao with his charming peach blossom eyes, blaming him for his abrupt behavior under the dining table just now.

"I haven't seen my sister for almost two months. Don't I miss you?"

Zhao Cuo looked at his sister's fair and generous oval face with a gentle smile.

"Sister, I miss you too..."

When Zhao Sangxin heard his words, she could no longer pretend to be angry. She raised her hand lovingly and caressed Zhao Cuo's face, and whispered softly:
