Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 164 Calculation
Mrs. Pan just found out that Pan Yumei and the third girl from the Zhao family had fought in Cuiyufang. Seeing that Mei's hair was a little disheveled, her heart had not yet settled down. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak when she heard Pan Yumei's words.

"You...what did you say? You said...who are you going to marry?"

Mrs. Pan rubbed her chest with difficulty, but she still couldn't hide her astonishment.

Pan Yumei raised her eyes with a blushing face, and said firmly:
"Mother, my daughter wants to marry Zhao Mengping, and he will not marry in this life..."

Mrs. Pan was so startled that she gasped again and again, and after a while she pointed at Pan Yumei and said:

"You want to marry the Zhao family?"

"You... why did you say such a thing suddenly... Could it be... Could it be that he just took advantage of it?"

Mrs. Pan couldn't figure it out. When Mrs. Zhao refuted the idea of ​​changing marriages earlier, Sister Mei still had one heart with her!Why did you suddenly backtrack today, and insist on marrying that Mr. Zhao?

The more Mrs. Pan thought about it, the more wrong she became. She lifted Pan Yumei up and said in a trembling voice:
"Sister Mei...you told your mother...but he hurt your reputation just now?"

"If you have been wronged, you can't hide it. Your mother will decide for you...don't be afraid..."

Pan Yumei blushed and said urgently:
"No no! Mother...it's not what you think..."

"I... I just... I just feel that Mr. Zhao is very eye-catching..."

At the last sentence, Pan Yumei was full of shyness. What else could Mrs. Pan not understand?
Her daughter actually developed friendship with the eldest son of the Zhao family?

Mrs. Pan had a headache, she held Pan Yumei's hand, dragged her to the dressing table and sat down, and asked in a tight voice:
"Talk about it carefully with your mother...you...how do you think it's a one-off?"

"Didn't you start a fight with the girl from the Zhao family just now? Why are you looking at her elder brother again?"

Pan Yumei's face was stained with annoyance when she heard the words, if she knew that Zhao Mengping was such a gentleman like jade, how could she fight Zhao Mengxian!
But the matter has come to this point, she has already apologized, and seeing Zhao Mengxian's soft and stubborn appearance just now, Pan Yumei immediately felt extremely wronged, and said to Mrs. Pan with red eyes:
"Mother... my daughter ran into him at the Mingxuan Poetry Fair two years ago... it's just... it's just that my daughter doesn't know that she is the eldest son of the Zhao family... Mother helps me think of a way... My daughter only wants to marry him in this life ..."

The Mingxuan Poetry Club is held every two years, and all the talents in the capital gather here. For the sake of fairness, all contestants wear gauze hats to hide their names.

Pan Yumei once met Zhao Mengping once at a poetry conference. He was gentle and courteous when he picked up her dropped poetry collection, and his handsome face was revealed under the gauze hat.

From that day on, he became an unshakable light in her heart.

Because of the marriage contract with Prince Chun's Mansion, she only dared to bury this longing deeply in her heart. Only when they met today did she realize that this marriage should be within easy reach for her!

Mrs. Pan yelled inwardly when she heard Sister Mei talking in such a confused way!
Sister Mei is a girl who is just beginning to fall in love, and she has always been spoiled. I'm afraid that the fire of desire in her heart cannot be extinguished by herself in a moment.

She comforted Pan Yumei, then turned to ask sister Mei's personal maid:

"Tell me...what happened just now..."

The maids looked at each other, not daring to hide it, and told Mrs. Pan the reason of the matter one after another.

Madam Pan's face turned blue after hearing this, she pointed at Pan Yumei and gritted her teeth:

"How many times has my mother told you...the outside world is no better than at home. If the reputation of you as a shrew spreads, you will never expect to get married in the future!"

"How much face your father and I have lost because of your marriage... But you don't know what to do! This is good... You just beat someone else's daughter on the front foot, and you still expect to marry into someone else's house on the back foot..."

"Aren't you stunned? Let alone such a slap in the face... You can think about how your mother-in-law and sister-in-law will treat you if you can marry in the future?"

"We are the ones who hurt Miss Zhao San's reputation. Mrs. Zhao has a very small mind, and she will never allow you to marry her son-in-law!"

When Pan Yumei heard this, she threw a teacup from Mrs. Pan regardless, and said loudly:
"I don't care! I don't care... I want to marry him in this life! If it doesn't work, I... I'll twist my hair and go to the nunnery to be my sister-in-law!"

When Madam Pan saw her like this, she was anxious and angry, and she kept scolding Pan Yumei for being ignorant!
Pan Yumei made a fuss in Mrs. Pan's room for a while, seeing that Mrs. Pan refused to let go, stomped hard and rushed out the door, just in time to meet Pan Yulan who came to pay her respects.

Pan Yumei got angry, and glanced at the concubine who had a bruised face. Naturally, she didn't give Pan Yulan any good face. She deliberately bumped Pan Yulan's shoulder, and ran straight past her out of the yard, followed by a few servant girls in panic...

Pan Yulan told Pan Yumei that she almost fell because of the collision, but the maid behind her helped her up quickly. She stabilized her figure, turned around and glanced at Pan Yumei's distraught back, her eyes were faintly shining...

"Four girls..."

The maid looked at Sister Lan worriedly, but didn't dare to continue.

Pan Yulan naturally knew what she was worried about, she shook her head quietly at her, and after she smoothed the creases of her skirt, she raised her feet and began to think carefully.

Just now there was such a big commotion in Mrs. Pan's room, she didn't need to ask to know that she was in a very bad mood at this time, and most likely she would have to bear Madam's anger if she went at this time.

But she is a concubine, how can she bypass the level of paying her respects to her aunt?

For Mrs. Pan, she has endless fear in her heart... After all, she is holding on to her marriage, wealth, and even life and death...

But at this moment, she had no time to be afraid, because just now she vaguely heard that Pan Yumei was determined to marry into the Zhao family.

The Zhao family, Minister of the Ministry of officials?

With a sneer on the corner of Pan Yulan's mouth, she looked at the shaking bead curtain in front of Mrs. Pan's door, bowed her knees and said:

"Mother, Lan'er came to pay her respects..."

After a while, she heard the slight sound of picking up the broken pieces of porcelain from Mrs. Pan's inner room.

After a while, the maid opened the curtain and came out, glanced at her indifferently, and said in a cold tone:
"Fourth Miss, Madam invites the girl in..."

………………

It took Pan Yulan a full hour before she retreated from Mrs. Pan's yard.

She rubbed her swollen and sore knee, her heart seemed to be hit by something again and again, it was painful and happy.

With the help of the maid, she came to Pan Yumei's yard.

"Is the second sister in there?"

Pan Yulan kept her voice low, pretending to be concerned and timid, even her voice trembled.

"Get out of here!"

Sure enough, Pan Yumei's distraught voice came from the back room, followed by various insults and curses.

Pan Yulan held on to the door, her body remained motionless, her eyes flickered, and she said softly:

"Just now I saw Second Sister leaving in a hurry...I...I'm not at ease, I want to come and see Second Sister..."

Pan Yumei got angry and jumped out of the room suddenly, raising her hand to give Pan Yulan a slap in the face, but she heard Pan Yulan anxiously say:

"Sister, don't worry, I have a way to help you marry into the Zhao family!"

Pan Yumei's raised hand froze instantly. She looked at Pan Yulan suspiciously and asked:
"What do you mean? You... what can you do?"

Pan Yulan winked at her slyly, and showed a faint smile:

"I do have a way to help my second sister achieve her wish... It's just... it depends on whether my sister dares to take this move..."

Pan Yumei put down her hands, stared at her cautiously for a long time, endured and endured, and then said with a straight face:

"Come in and talk..."
