Lucky Star Gao Zhao

Chapter 396 What a pity

County magistrate Zhang sent a letter to his family asking his daughter to come to Wucheng County during the Chinese New Year. He was also stimulated by Gao Wenlin.

At the beginning, Mrs. Gao followed Mr. Jia to Songshan Office, and Gao Wenlin talked about his daughter every day, so County Magistrate Zhang also wanted to take her with him.

The eldest son was married and stayed at home, and he only brought the younger son with him when he came to Wucheng County to work. The eldest daughter was married, but this girl was left by his mother in the old house. The wife often shed tears when she thought of it.

After the Zhang family received the letter, they did not tell Zhang Yumei that they did not want her to return to her parents.

The eldest son of the county magistrate of Zhang had only passed the boyhood and had not yet been a scholar. He tried a way to let his son go to a school near his hometown to study.The eldest daughter is already married at eighteen this year, Zhang Yumei is the second daughter, and the youngest son is brought with them.

The youngest daughter of County Magistrate Zhang was less than ten years old when he left home, and he had been doing scientific research for many years and did not spend much time at home.

Unexpectedly, after I came here this time, I took a look and felt depressed.It turned out that he somehow disliked Master Gao for being too spoiled for his daughter, that's why the eldest lady of the Gao family grew up like this, not like a little lady.

But looking at her daughter now, she is not as good as the eldest lady of the Gao family.

Zhang Yumei didn't know that her father had sent a letter to her family asking her to go to the capital of Wucheng County. She knew about it from her uncle's cousin.

She has been living with her grandmother at home, and the old lady of the Zhang family doesn't want you to leave her granddaughter.One is that she has feelings after raising her for so many years, and the other is that she has to leave this son who is an official in other places at home, so as not to be like the elder son said, the wings are hardened, and it is difficult to turn around.

No matter how much Zhang Yumei talked to her grandma, she still longed to be with her parents.She also knew that her grandmother wanted to betroth her to a nephew of her uncle's natal family, so that the brothers in the family could be tied together when their parents were gone in the future.

But she knew that now that she was a young lady of the official family, she naturally wanted to marry in a good way. How could she fall in love with her uncle's natal nephew?

It's not that he doesn't look down on country people, but that he doesn't like the kind of person who studies in school, eats, drinks and has fun all day long, and at a young age, can hook up with little ladies.

Zhang Yumei came up with an idea, went to find her eldest sister, and then coaxed her grandmother to tell her that she heard that there was a girl draft in Beijing, and children of seventh-rank officials and above could participate.It is said that my father sent a letter to my eldest sister secretly saying that you can't talk about the affairs of the court, and if you get wind of it, your father will not be an official.

The old lady Zhang was fooled for a while, and then the old lady Zhang discussed it with her son. Although it is a pity that the other granddaughters are not eligible to run for the election, the only one in the Zhang family can't be delayed.

Hurry up and send it to her father, so Zhang Yumei came to Wucheng County like this.

After Zhang County Magistrate heard what his daughter said, he and his wife stared at each other, her daughter is so bold!But where did she come up with this idea at such a young age?

After asking, the daughter said that she was watching a play with her grandmother. Isn't it just a draft girl who becomes a favorite concubine in the play?

County magistrate Zhang was even more frightened. Does his daughter have such ambitions?
But Zhang Yumei said don't treat opera as life, only uncle and others have that dream, she is not stupid.

County magistrate Zhang was relieved now, otherwise who would a daughter with such a great dream marry.

Mrs. Zhang was very happy. No matter what, the daughter of Zhao Si Ye Xiang came to her. Although it was quite different from what she had imagined, she was also happy.

County magistrate Zhang had no choice but to continue coaxing the brother who brought his daughter here, entertained him with delicious food and drink, bought a bunch of things, gave him silver taels, and hurriedly sent him away.

In case brother slipped his mouth here, but he has to explain everything, this matter has not been announced yet, he is also a gossip, so don't talk nonsense, otherwise he will go home to farm.

Hard-headed to help her daughter lie.

Zhang Yumei grew up in her hometown, her parents were not around, her sister was married, and her brother was studying outside. The only person close to her was her sister-in-law, but she couldn't make the decision in the Zhang family.

So she learned to observe words and expressions from an early age to please her elders.Fortunately, she has a cheerful personality, loves to talk and laugh, and coaxes her grandmother to feel sorry for her.

She also often distributes some little things her parents gave her to her cousins.In order not to dislike her, you are special under the same roof, and no one will feel uncomfortable.

Although the county magistrate Zhang asked his daughter to come over, he was worried again. His daughter was fourteen, and it was time to find her husband's family. How should I choose?
It is necessary for his daughter to make friends with the wife of the Gao family of the Jia family, and it is also his main purpose for letting his daughter come. The truth cannot be said.

Then he should follow his daughter's example.

"Yumei, Dad sees that you are about the same age as Mrs. Gao, she has a good personality, and Mr. Jia's granddaughter, you have nothing to do with them, I think you can play with them, yes Okay, let your mother hold a flower party in your name, please let your mother take care of it, ask your mother if you have any questions, and let your mother take you to make some clothes and buy some jewelry."

These were all said by the father and daughter sitting in the carriage home. After arriving home, Zhang Yumei sweetly called mother, and snuggled up to Mrs. Zhang.

County magistrate Zhang twitched his face when he saw it, the change of face was too fast, why didn't he act like a spoiled child to his father?

Mrs. Zhang hugged her daughter lovingly, and asked how the game was?She didn't expect her daughter to participate in it. At that time, her daughter said that wearing men's clothes would not be noticed by the crowd.

County Magistrate Zhang told me about holding the flower fair just now.

"Master, I was just about to say it. I inquired about it two days ago. Mrs. Jia hasn't come back to Beijing yet. In a few days, I will post a post for them. By the way, Mrs. Qian is back. No, I'm recuperating, and Mrs. Qian is also sick. What's wrong with the Qian family recently? I'll send someone to give some gifts tomorrow. Has Qian Xianwei passed by today?"

"No, there are guests at home, and the Qian family's son and son-in-law did not come today."

Thinking of what the county magistrate thought of, he sent his daughter away and said to his wife, "I've taken a fancy to that Zheng Xueliang from the Zheng family."

"Is it the Zheng family who is number one in the county exam?"

"It's him. It would be great if he could be our son-in-law. It's a pity."

Mrs. Zhang was moved, and asked, "What do you say? Are you engaged?"

County magistrate Zhang shook his head and said, "I'm not engaged, but I heard from Mr. Zhou that Mr. Jia is very fond of him. Mr. Jia also has a granddaughter, so maybe he has the same plan, so I don't need to get involved, lest Offend."

"The master said that the Gao family can really..."

"It's hard to say, I'm also guessing, but I don't know what it is for. It's too strange. There's no reason. I don't think there is anything special about Mrs. Gao, but why... It's hard to say. In this regard, you But don't tell Yumei that she is young, if you talk about it, you will get into trouble for yourself."

Mrs. Zhang agreed, she didn't dare to tell her daughter more, she just told her that when she came, she would have more contact with the little ladies in the county.
