Pampering Big Cat Wife Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Zhao s.h.i.+ Cheng realized that, he who has always cared about money, recently has another image in his heart and it also occupied not a small position, making him dazed from time to time, even sometimes forgetting to eat .

That is Tang Wan . Whether it was their first meeting when she was as though a lotus flower just appearing above the flower, or when she was being mischievous and clearly showed her cute and charming side, or also when she was overly sentimental arousing people’s pity, even when she was starved and hungry like an unfortunate little cat, every side of her, turning again and again in his mind . It made him confused and disoriented at why this was happening .

“De Pu! De Pu!” Madam Zhao sat at the center of the room, calling her son who had been standing blankly for a while . She might as well throw the walnut in her hands at him, seeing that he still didn’t respond .

“Hey!” The left side of Zhao s.h.i.+ Cheng’s head got hit and just came to his senses . He looked at his mother complainingly .

“What’s the matter, mother?”

“Mother called you so many times . How come you’re only staring blankly?” She shook her head and started to harp on again . “It seems like I really need to help you find a marriage quickly, so the kind wife can take care of you . Yes, our Zhao family is a family of generals . People keep on saying that we only have reckless courage, so the wife we help you find, definitely has to be from a family of scholars, exceptionally talented, and is gentle and graceful . ”

“Mother, this matter can’t be rushed . ” He said a little helpless .

“How can it not be rushed? You already over twenty . The young men in the capital that are like you, is already the father of several kids . ” Madam Zhao glared at him discontent . Right afterwards, she asked expectantly . “Could it be that you already had someone in your mind?”

Tang Wan’s image unexpectedly appeared in his mind at this moment, causing his heart to jump suddenly . However, on the surface, he maintained his composure as before, shaking his head and calmly said, “ No, mother . I don’t have someone in mind . ”

Her expression sank . “I just knew it . You’re so blockhead and serious and your temper is also too upright . I was afraid that you didn’t know how to pursue a woman . Didn’t I help you pick a few girls from an ill.u.s.trious family before? They’re all pretty good girls . I don’t know why you’re so picky . Like that Miss Guo from last time, she has a delicate and pretty appearance and she also knows how to play an instrument . Isn’t she great?”

“But mother, that Miss Guo was wearing silk and satin . The golden hairpin on top of her was heavier than her head . When she goes out, she must ride a sandalwood sedan with auspicious clouds and also bring eight sedan-chair bearers and four maids with her . This ostentation and extravagance was larger than consorts in the palace . This kind of girl, can’t afford, can’t afford it, ah…” In this family, there’s already a general father who’s unaware of the hards.h.i.+ps of life and a mother with princess syndrome that were big money pits . There’s no need to bring another one back home .

“Is that so? An ostentation bigger than a consort? That would offend others . No good, no good . ” Madam Zhao was dazed for a while . However, the thing she cared about was very different compared to Zhao s.h.i.+ Cheng’s considerations . After that, she picked up her finger and thought carefully again and immediately her eyes brightened . “Then the time before last time that… Miss Hua? Miss Hua is a high-ranking official’s daughter . She’s exceptionally clever and also has a detailed study of the Buddhist philosophy . Her temperament is outstanding . ”

“Miss Hua said, if I want to meet her outside, I must first go to the Great Buddha temple to donate a golden paG.o.da . I believe that Miss Hua is very devoted to Buddha, if I marry her, I’m afraid that I’ll ruin her wish to become a nun!” Though he said this, the main reason, however, was that Zhao s.h.i.+ Cheng was naturally unwilling to donate a golden paG.o.da . Give me a break! If that golden paG.o.da reached Miss Hua’s ideal size, it will have to spend a year of the Zhao residence’s expenses?

“There’s such a matter? Then let’s forget about Miss Hua . What if you married her, but she suddenly wanted to become a nun . That’s no good . ” Madam Zhao’s brows suddenly raised again . “Ah! There’s also that Miss Shen? Miss Shen’s appearance and education is faultless . I remember her plain clothing and hairpin was very simple . And she doesn’t specially study any Buddhist teachings . How about her?”

“I inquired about her . If you want to marry Miss Shen, her family requires a betrothal money of fifty thousand . ” He lightly said .

“It’s just fifty thousand…”

“Fifty thousand is the Zhao residence’s expenses for two years . It can let mother buy five hundred jackets with b.u.t.tons down the front and large sleeved ceremonial dress 1 plus thirty pairs of pure gold carved jewelry . ”

Madam Zhao was completely in the dark on her family’s expenses . She was unable to speak after being stifled by her son in this way . Finally, she simply started to be perverse . “Hmph! I don’t care . Anyway, I already planned another blind date for you . Next month, there’s a flower festival and you must attend . The daughter of Yang Wen Chang, Yang Xian He, is seventeen this year . She is very beautiful . Yang daren 2 has the intentions to matchmake . Among all the sons in the Zhao family, I think you’re the most suitable . ”

“Yang Xian He? Mother, Yang daren and father has disagreements towards each other . How could he let his daughter meet with me?” Zhao s.h.i.+ Cheng said with doubt .

“Yang Xian He? Mother, Yang daren and father has disagreements towards each other . How could he let his daughter meet with me?” Zhao s.h.i.+ Cheng said with doubt .

Yang Wen Chang was the right prime minister and the leader of the scholars in the imperial court . He and his father were sworn enemies for years . However he thought he didn’t think that Yang Wen Chang would deliver his daughter to their doorsteps and allow the Zhao family to do whatever they want .

“Your father agreed . Since Yang Daren already expressed goodwill towards your father, why should we oppose it? The emperor is already unhappy that those two are not getting along . ” She replied pretentious .

This time, he is even more confused . As far as he knew, Yang Wen Chang was famous for being a crafty, old fox . This was definitely a conspiracy within this . His father had always been sloppy in his work and he wouldn’t think too deeply about whether or not people would plan a scheme . But this didn’t mean he would accept without questioning .

“This is for the peace of the imperial court . You better not refuse . ” Madam Zhao glared at her son harshly and warned again .

Since it was magnified to the peace of the imperial court, if he didn’t agree than he’ll probably be blamed when this country was fallen into precarious times . Zhao s.h.i.+ Cheng could only smile bitterly and perform it perfunctorily . He indicated that he would go and look at the flower festival . As for whether or not he would meet with Yang Xian He, he would have to think about it .

When he thought about how he didn’t know what tricks Yang Wen Chang would do to frame his old man, his head would start to hurt again . It’s really trouble spoke having a boorish father . Not only did he had to stabilize the Zhao family’s economy, he also had to try every means for his father’s official position . Nowadays, it’s so hard to be a son .

The flower festival was a big festival that happens annually . On this day, the palace would be open to the public and the palace gardeners would use every effort to decorate the garden splendidly . Many officials and wealthy merchants would also take out the exotic flowers and rare plants from their household and lend it to the palace for display to everyone .  On one hand, it would also increase their reputation .

At the flower festival, the men and women would come dressed up elaborately . Which one did not look better than usual? In view of this, the palace would also hold a special poetry and literature activity, at the same time, to let the men and women form a team and work together to write a poem . Presumably, the people who would come to admire the flowers were mostly cultured people . Forming a group and also working together, it’s seems like there will be an increase in couples after the compet.i.tion ends . Not to mention if they were able to win first place, they would definitely be supported as the perfect match, help liven up the flower festival and be a topic of conversation .

It was because she took a fancy to this point that Madam Zhao would force her son to attend the festival . She hoped that he and Yang Xian He would form a group and even hit it off .

In the past, Tang Wan would avoid these activities because at the time, she was still deeply in love with Lu You and naturally wouldn’t come to these places to attract bees and b.u.t.terflies . But this year was different because she was free from marriage . Xiao Chun was afraid she was bored staying inside so she encouraged her to attend . Moreover, after time traveling, she was indeed the kind of person who was unable to sit still and on top of that, she guessed that there was probably plenty of delicious meat in the palace so she agreed to Xiao Chun and proceeded in a low-key manner .

After entering the venue, Tang Wan looked as far as her eyes could see . A superb collection of flowers and plants made her pretty face immediately break down .

“It doesn’t look fun at all!” She came to eat meat . This pile of plants simply made her feel nauseated .

“Young miss, you’re not here to have fun . Today, there’s a lot of young talents gathering in the palace . Maybe someone might enter your eyes!” Xiao Chun cannot sit around watching the young miss hang herself on Lu You, this tree . There’s such a good opportunity today . With the young miss’s beauty and talent, who’s scared that there will be no one appreciating it?

Tang Wan smiled and looked askance at Xiao Chun . Right now, her relations.h.i.+p with her lively maid was pretty good . She teased her very naturally . “Although I didn’t tell elder cousin I would be coming, but he is sure to come at this occasion . I think it is you who wants to meet with elder cousin’s guard, w.a.n.g Qiang . ”

“Young miss, don’t laugh at me!” Xiao Chun didn’t deny it and bashfully laughed with her young miss .

Xiao Chun seldom saw young miss this happy and naturally tried her best to please her . Who would have expected a single carelessness and she b.u.mped into someone . A shout came from behind her body,

“Aiyo!”

Although Xiao Chun knew she didn’t b.u.mp her badly, but she was the one who didn’t pay attention after all, hurriedly turned around and apologized . “Excuse me, I beg your pardon . Xiao Chun didn’t notice that this young miss was behind her . Xiao Chun was rude . Xiao Chun apologizes towards this young miss . ”

Although Xiao Chun knew she didn’t b.u.mp her badly, but she was the one who didn’t pay attention after all, hurriedly turned around and apologized . “Excuse me, I beg your pardon . Xiao Chun didn’t notice that this young miss was behind her . Xiao Chun was rude . Xiao Chun apologizes towards this young miss . ”

The person Xiao Chun had b.u.mped into was a young woman wearing luxurious clothing and gorgeous makeup . The guards near the women looked at Xiao Chun, the servant and master, in an extremely unkind way .

Even if Xiao Chun apologize with sincerity, the woman was still not satisfied . She pointed at her angrily and rebuked . “Wretched servant! How dare you b.u.mp into me?”

“Sorry, Xiao Chun didn’t do it intentionally . ” Tang Wan saw that Xiao Chun was scared silly and hurried pulled her into the handrail inside the winding corridor behind her . She also held onto the handrail herself to prevent the probability of the opposing side from forcefully grabbing Xiao Chun .

The woman saw the beautiful Tang Wan with refined temperament in front of Xiao Chun only just now . Her gaze sharpened a few more . She always bragged that she was endowed with both beauty and talent . Once she saw Tang Wan who was like a green lotus, she couldn’t help but feel a little inferior .

On such an important occasion, she couldn’t stand anyone taking away her graceful bearing . Therefore, she decided to punish Tang Wan here . It’s better to chase this woman away first before the flower festival enters the climax .

“Do you know who I am? I am the right prime minister’s daughter! This wretched servant b.u.mped into me so she’s just not right . Someone, slap her face and then pull her out of the palace . ” This woman was precisely Yang Xian He . She ordered the guards to start working in a domineering way .

“Wait!” Tang Wan could not look helplessly as other people bully Xiao Chun . “I already said that Xiao Chun wasn’t intentional . Plus, it was only lightly touching once . Weren’t you not hurt?”

T/n: Happy Veteran’s day, everyone . I hope you have a good day .
