The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 37 A Hundred Flowers Bloom
Only then did Nanny Chang back out suspiciously.

As soon as Nanny Chang left, Zhao Shuang called Xiangxia, "Bring the 2000 taels of silver, and... bring the token of the prince, and my mahogany sword."

Yang Xuan left a white jade token for Zhao Shuang, saying that in Shangjing City, he could run unimpeded and defend himself against evil spirits.

Xiangxia's hands trembled while she was packing her luggage, and her heart was in a state of panic.

With so much money, tokens and mahogany swords, and Ruo Ji, where is the princess going to the garden?It's almost like going to show off.

Although now Hongqiu dare not follow them anymore, but the prince has many eyes and ears, if he finds out about this, he will be punished.

Summer afternoon.

The garden is lush and full of flowers, and when a gust of wind blows, the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.

Xiangxia looked around nervously, but she didn't expect that the concubine really brought them to Liufang Garden.

There are many tourists in Liufang Garden, most of them are couples and children, the three of them and one dog seem a bit abrupt.

"Princess, you... are you really here to visit the garden?" Xiang Xia still didn't quite believe it.

Ruoji was happily flapping butterflies among the flowers, and her face was covered in mud.

"It's all said yes, why don't you always believe it?" Zhao Shuang walked slowly while holding the dog leash, looking around from time to time.

Suddenly, I saw a pair of men and women admiring flowers coming towards me.

The man is seven feet tall, looks talented, and wears a light blue brocade robe, while the woman has a thin figure, soft features, a goose-yellow dress, and a slightly protruding abdomen.

Zhao Shuang pursed her lips lightly, and saw the two people enter a thatched arbor in front of them. There were tables and chairs in the arbor, which looked like a tea shop.

"It's too hot, let's drink a bowl of tea in that shed before we move forward." Zhao Shuang pointed to the front and pulled the dog leash again.

"Yes." Xiang Fu and Xiang Xia hurriedly followed.

When several people walked into the tea shop, they felt the air was instantly cool and very comfortable. Only Ruo Ji, who was still thinking about her butterflies, let out an irritable "humming" sound.

Xiang Xia and Xiang Fu went to buy some bowls of herbal tea and refreshments from the owner of the tea shop, and they sat down at a low wooden table to rest.

Zhao Shuang shook the tulle round fan in her hand, and listened to the man and woman next to her with her ears up.

"Cheng Lang, if Zhang's family wants to reconcile, it's better to follow their wishes and send the woman back earlier, so as not to worry about seeing her all day long." The woman took a sip of herbal tea, then tugged on the man's sleeve "When I think of Yun'er being beaten by that woman, I feel heartbroken. It's all because I'm from a low family background, so I can't make decisions for her..."

She called the man "Cheng Lang", and Zhao Shuang already had some points in her heart.

This man is Zhang Shi'er's husband, Cheng Yu, and the woman is Qingzhu, a housemaid he bought, and Yun'er must be the daughter of these two.

"Qingzhu, I mean the same thing, reconcile with each other! That woman actually asked the servant of the general's mansion to slap me, I can't live through this day!" Cheng Yu's face was full of anger, and he took a sip of herbal tea and it still didn't go away.

"Cheng Lang, why don't you sign the Heli letter?" The woman tugged at his sleeve again and said coquettishly.

"Father and mother insisted on saying that our family is right." Cheng Yu picked up a piece of crystal clear pastry and handed it to Tongfang's mouth, "Zhang Shi'er's dowry is almost gone now, if we get along with each other, We still have to spit out half of it. What my father means is, let the Zhang family make a fuss! In the worst case, we can divorce our wife, anyway, we have our cousin to support us, so you don’t have to worry.”

According to the rules in Shangjing, if the two families reconcile and divorce, the dowry and bride price will each be divided in half, and the two families will take it away.The Cheng family didn't have any betrothal gifts at all back then, but the Zhang family had a lot of dowry, so for the Cheng family, Heli was equivalent to spitting out something they had eaten, so naturally they felt pain.

But if the wife is divorced, the dowry will not be refunded.

Moreover, it is usually the fault of the man's family for divorce, and it is the fault of the woman for divorce. The two elders of the Cheng family are well aware of the difference.

"I'm just afraid... I'm afraid that this matter will go to waste, and I still won't be able to get rid of that woman by then!" Qingzhu wiped the sweat from his forehead, then gently stroked his abdomen and said, "When I think of the baby in my belly, I will still be scared." Suffering like Yun'er, this concubine just..."

No matter which concubine's house or the house where the child was born, the main house has the right to dispose of it. For a childless child like Zhang Shi'er, it is natural to see that the concubine's house gave birth to a child and raise it under her knees.

"Qingzhu, don't worry!" Cheng Yu shook her hand reassuringly, "That woman... I'm annoyed when I see her now, she's always noisy or noisy. The child in your womb is also my child, how could I Regardless of his life or death? Wait a minute, my cousin will come later, let's discuss the matter and ask him to make the decision!"

This kind of housework that is difficult for an upright official usually depends on whose backstage is strong, and finally invites one or two highly respected figures to settle the matter, and let it go.

Today General Zhang sued Cheng Yu to the Yamen of Jingzhao Yin. Master Cheng and General Zhang argued in the courtroom, but there was no result.

The master of the Cheng family sent someone to invite Wei Wei Shaoqing Cheng Qian, but no one came, presumably Cheng Qian didn't want to take care of such private matters.

The Cheng family is now weak, and Cheng Qian is the only one he can rely on, but he seems unwilling to intervene in this matter.

"Cheng Shaoqing is busy with business, even if the master asks him to come out, will he...will come today?" Qingzhu frowned, still worried.

"My cousin is worried that this matter will affect his marriage negotiation with Miss Zhang Shangshu's family, and he wants to make peace with the matter." Cheng Yu proudly poured another cup of herbal tea, "I wrote it in the invitation letter, if he doesn't care about this matter, I will Then he signed the peace letter, and the Cheng family's reputation will be ruined at that time, let's see how he negotiates marriage with that Miss Shangshu."

Zhao Shuang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.Zhang Shangshu's family, isn't that... the Zhang Shangshu who eloped with his concubine?This capital city is neither small nor big, gossips are passed around, and there are only a few people left and right.

They waited until the sun was setting, but Cheng Shaoqing didn't show up. Not to mention Cheng Yu and Qingzhu were upset by waiting, Ruoji couldn't stand still long ago, and Xiang Fu led her to visit the garden.

"He obviously accepted my call letter and said he would go to the appointment, why did he break the appointment..." Cheng Yu said awkwardly to Qingzhu, "Qingzhu, how about... let's go back first?"

Seeing that the time had come, Zhao Shuang coughed lightly, walked to the wooden table next to her, and said to the two of them, "Is this Mr. Cheng? This is... Zhang Shier's distant relative. I just heard the two talking." , something... I want to discuss with the two of you."

"Distant relative?" Cheng Yu shrank his neck vigilantly, "Why have I never seen you?"

He and Zhang Shi'er have been married for many years, and they still know quite a few relatives of the Zhang family.

"It's said that they are distant relatives." Zhao Shuang pulled a bench from the side, sat down and winked at the two of them, "Master Cheng, don't be afraid, in fact, I am on the side of you two."

"Stand by our side?" Qingzhu looked at her suspiciously.

This woman is dressed in fine clothes and has a dignified temperament.Although the madam's natal family is the residence of a great general, General Zhang is aloof and always dresses plainly. I have never heard that the madam has such a wealthy distant relative.

　Finally someone voted yesterday, happy!
