Husband has a sweetheart

Chapter 15

Sitting in the rickety carriage back to Zhang Mansion, Zhang Yuqing's mind was muddled.

Two days ago, she was still desperate and sad because the words on the lantern were washed away by the rain and no one saw it. When she heard the news today, she suddenly felt that the heavy rain was not a bad thing.

General Guixin is far away in Qingzhou, and she is in the capital, thousands of miles away. If someone with a heart in the capital notices the poems she wrote, she can hardly imagine what kind of disaster will be brought to her!
The warm wind in the afternoon passed through the window and blew on Zhang Yuqing's face.

Zhang Yuqing's eyes gradually became clearer. After the initial stage of being at a loss, she quickly thought of a countermeasure.Only Lu Wei and the owner of the lantern stall know that she wrote the poem. These two people will not associate the human devil general who killed the whole family and used human heads for performance art with her, a boudoir woman, even if they hear the name of General Guixin No. Mostly it will be regarded as a coincidence.

Even if Lu Wei had doubts, he would not report on her.She is the daughter of the Zhang family, and Lu Wei is the prospective son-in-law of the Zhang family. If she is involved with the rebels, the Zhang family will not be able to get rid of it. What good is it for Lu Wei?
As for the owner of the lantern stall, there is nothing to be afraid of. Others speak lightly, and they are even more afraid of getting into trouble.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuqing let out a long sigh of relief, and secretly told herself to be more cautious in the future, act patiently, and never make the mistakes of the past again.

After returning to Zhang Mansion, Zhang Yuqing was exhausted physically and mentally. She said that she was tired and tossed and turned on the bed. After a while, she fell asleep restlessly. Then she dreamed that when Lu Erwei changed, her parents died tragically, and the nanny brought her a baby Escape in troubled times.

After a narrow escape, he escaped from the capital, thinking that he escaped from birth, but unexpectedly, it was the beginning of another nightmare.

The nanny is a woman in the inner house, and she doesn't step out of the door without leaving the second door. How can she know that the world is dangerous, and Wang Dali saw the lonely woman with a baby carrying a lot of property as soon as she left the capital.

Wang Dali dragged her nanny into the grove, but at that time she lived in this body like a wandering spirit, unable to resist, she was stepped on the ground by Wang Dali's mother-in-law, and watched the tragedy happen. .

Wang Dali lifted his trousers and came out of the woods with an obscene smile on his face, holding all the things he had found from the nanny in his hands, even his clothes were stripped clean.

At that moment, her heart was full of despair and hatred.

In troubled times, human life is worthless.

Wang Dali killed her nanny, so naturally he didn't mind killing another two-year-old baby, and strangled her neck until the original owner died completely and threw the body to the ground.

But at this moment, a young man passed by with a boy in his arms. Seeing that the young man Kong Wu was weak, Wang Dali didn't dare to seize Zhang Yuqing's belongings immediately under fear.

Zhang Yuqing, who had taken over her body, seized this slight chance to survive, and grabbed the blood-stained corner of the young man's robe with all her might.

After waking up from the dream, it was dusk outside, and the sunset glow shone into the room through the dilapidated window lattice, and the reflected room was bright red, just like the blood color that permeated the entire capital city back then.

Wang Chunniang came in with a basin of water, twisted a handkerchief for Zhang Yuqing, asked her to wipe her face, and asked worriedly, "Did you have a nightmare? I watched you sleep restlessly, your hands clenched into fists, and your whole body trembling!" "

"Am I talking in my sleep?" Zhang Yuqing asked with a heartbeat.

Wang Chunniang shook her head, and complained half-truthfully, "You man, you hide everything in your heart, you just sleep with your mouth shut tightly, just like that clam!"

Zhang Yuqing smiled, took the veil and wiped her face.

Early the next morning, when Mrs. Zhang went to pay her respects to the old lady, she tentatively brought it up, saying that she had a drink with other wives yesterday, and that she heard that Mrs. Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials passed away a few years ago, and now she intends to look for her again.

The old lady didn't take it seriously, and continued to pick Buddha beans.

"That adult doesn't ask for family background, nor does he ask for talent, he just wants to find someone who looks pleasing to the eye and suits his heart!" Mrs. Zhang continued to laugh.

The old lady stopped what she was doing, and said slowly: "His grandson is going to marry a wife. I'm afraid he wants to marry a real lady?"

Isn't that to find an ancestor for the children and grandchildren?
"The servant's family is rich and rich. If you go there, you will enjoy the blessings. It doesn't matter if you are upright or not." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile.

The old lady said: "Our family, Yuying, has promised someone else. Yushu is still young, and her status as a concubine is also lower."

Mrs. Zhang almost lost her temper. What is this called? Her daughter Yuying is both talented and beautiful. Deliberately reject her!
"Mother, think about it, if our family can establish a relationship with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it will be a great thing for our family! The master has been in the position of Qipin for many years, and it is time to make a move!" Zhang said the lady.

The old lady sighed, but said nothing.

"There is also Brother Qian, who will end in two years. With Brother Qian's talent and learning, it is only a matter of time before the gold list is awarded, but we all know that the gold list is just the beginning. After winning the Jinshi, where will you be assigned as an official? That's the important thing! You don't have to think about the master, you have to think about your grandson!" Mrs. Zhang said eagerly.

The old lady could naturally see Madam Zhang's unworthy thoughts, and shook her head, "It's good to be able to get in touch with the servant of the official department, but we don't have a suitable girl in our family."

"Yuying and Yushu are not suitable." Mrs. Zhang pointedly pointed out, "Isn't there another suitable one in our family? Miss Yuqing is just right in age and looks beautiful. Who wouldn't praise her for being beautiful? The master is born..."

The old lady sneered and interrupted Mrs. Zhang, who was talking endlessly, "You still admit that she is the eldest son? You want to send the dead uncle's only flesh and blood to warm the bed of an old man who can be her grandfather. You are shameless. Our Zhang family still needs face!"

Embarrassment welled up on Mrs. Zhang's face, and she secretly scolded the old woman for putting on a show. Now that she is protecting Zhang Yuqing, who was it that cried and said that she couldn't see that face when she entered the house?

"Mother, don't talk to me!" Mrs. Zhang said forcefully, "It's true that I planned for my husband and son, but think about it, isn't this marriage a good one? There are no rules, no big characters, who would think of her as a serious daughter-in-law?"

"You!" The old lady was anxious.

Mrs. Zhang ignored it and said: "It doesn't sound good to be with an old man, but it's affordable! That's a second-rank official! It's a great blessing that God bestows on a country girl to have such good luck!"

"Mother, think about it again!" Mrs. Zhang stood up and said, "There are a lot of things waiting for me to make up my mind, so I'll go first!"

After all, Mrs. Zhang turned around and left.

When she left, the old lady slapped the table angrily, her face was trembling, "You bastard!"

The old nanny next to the old lady sighed and patted the old lady on the back.

"In these years, relying on the fact that she has three sons in her hands, she has become more and more ignorant of me, an old woman!" The old lady leaned on the couch, watery eyes appeared in the corners of her cloudy eyes.

The old mammy said in a low voice: "Madam has a strong temper, and she keeps her word. It's no wonder that Master and Madam quarrel every day."

"She has a wicked heart and can do anything, but she is narrow-minded and short-sighted, and only sees the petty gains in front of her eyes!" The old lady gritted her teeth angrily, "She is used to making troubles at home these years, and everyone wants to control her! Don't even think about it, if you really marry that child to an old man who can be her grandfather, how can the Zhang family hold their heads high!"

The old lady became more and more angry, she was panting badly, her grief came from it, the old lady held the hand of the old nanny tearfully, and said with tears: "It would be great if my son Zuo Ming was still here!"

Mrs. Zhang didn't expect that the old lady would disagree, and went back to her yard angrily, thinking angrily how to get this done.

At this moment, the maid who guards the gate is outside to report that the master is back. Mrs. Zhang is thinking that it may not be enough for her to come forward alone. What more to say!

When Zhang Zuozhen arrived home, she was simply changing clothes and was going to a dinner party, but was dragged into the room by Mrs. Zhang, saying that she had something important to discuss.

Zhang Zuozhen was taken aback when he heard that his wife wanted to marry the cheap niece who had just come home to the official servant who was about to turn [-], and Zhang Zuozhen was taken aback, and waved her hands again and again: "Isn't this trampling on people? No, no, no!"

Mrs. Zhang was annoyed, she just felt that the Zhang family members were all pedantic, clinging to the sour and noble integrity of the scholars, so such a good thing that had the best of both worlds came against her.

"Why not? As long as we join the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, you and Brother Qian have nothing to worry about in your official career!" Mrs. Zhang cried in a low voice.

Zhang Zuozhen frowned and said in a low voice, "I may not be able to look up to that girl, besides, this matter is too wicked..."

"Wonderful?!" Mrs. Zhang was extremely angry, staring at Zhang Zuozhen without choosing her words, "I'm not doing it for your own good! If you are a bit promising, why would I come up with such a wicked idea?"

Zhang Zuozhen only felt humiliated, and the scar in her heart was poked. The more she looked at Mrs. Zhang, the more disgusting her face became, and her handsome face turned into a pig's liver.

"You think I'm worthless? Get out, and go wherever you want to find promising ones!" Zhang Zuozhen became furious, and smashed the teapot on the table with her hand, "You take a pee to take care of yourself, what kind of card are you on?" People? They came from Xiaomen Xiaohu, so they think they belonged to our Zhang family?!"

The noise and the sound of broken porcelain spread from the room to the outside, and the hearts of those who heard it were terrified, and the maids and women who were serving did not dare to approach.The bamboo curtain was raised, and Zhang Zuozhen strode out of the room with an angry face, and left without looking back.

The sound of the lady crying was heard in the room.

Zhang Yuqian, who came over after hearing the noise, stopped a maid, "What's going on?"

"I heard it's for that girl's marriage..." The servant girl pointed in the direction of Zhang Yuqing's yard.

Zhang Yuqian stomped his feet angrily, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Why is it that loser again!"
