Husband has a sweetheart

Chapter 16 The Blessing of Heaven

On the second day after returning from the other courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, Zhang Yuqing sat in the courtyard, flipping through the name cards in his hand.

This was given to her by the cousin of the Luo family, a famous post from her uncle, which said that Wu County promoted Luo Shijun, the Changping Secretary.

With this name card, she can go directly to visit her cousin's house without notifying her, or she can use it as a stepping stone to go to the yamen to do some small things.They are all officials in the same dynasty, as long as the matter is not difficult, most of the people in the yamen will sell their colleagues to save face.

Zhang Yuqing was thinking about finding a reason to visit the Luo family's cousin, when she heard the servant girl come and report that Mrs. Zhang brought the eldest girl to see her.

As soon as the notification was completed, Mrs. Zhang brought Zhang Yuying into the yard.

Wang Chunniang hurried to the house and brought two chairs over.

Zhang Yuying looked around at the dilapidated yard, then at the dilapidated chairs, hesitated for a long time, but finally didn't sit down, but just stood there cuddling Mrs. Zhang.

"You've been at home for so many days, and I've never been free. I just got free to come and see you today." Mrs. Zhang smiled, "How is it? Are you used to it?"

Zhang Yuqing bowed her head and said, "Very good, thank you Madam for your concern."

"Speaking of which, you are two months older than your sister Yuying, and you will be ready next month." Mrs. Zhang said, sighing, "Your sister Yuying has already been settled, but you, before I haven't been at home all this time, so I've been delayed until now."

Zhang Yuqing's heart was full of alarm bells, and she said cautiously: "Sister Yuying is beautiful and knowledgeable, how can I compare with sister Yuying!"

Mrs. Zhang laughed, very satisfied with Zhang Yuqing's words, "You should know the son who is betrothed to your younger sister Yuying, he is the son Lu who sent you home. His mother is Princess Duanshu, the daughter of Emperor Huai. The eldest granddaughter, although Emperor Huai has been dead for many years, the emperor has always been very kind to Princess Duanshu, and her honor and favor are not fading, and she is no worse than a real princess. The relationship between the Zhang family and the Lu family is very good. Ah, it was decided by your younger sister Yuying when she was a child."

"It turns out that they are talented and beautiful, and they are a perfect match. To marry such a good girl as Sister Yuying, the Lu family and Mr. Lu must be very satisfied and happy!" Zhang Yuqing smiled like a taunt.

So satisfied and happy that even the widow and the widow's son took over the offer together!
Don't look at Lu Wei's cold face, his expressionless face seems to have no emotion, but he is actually a master who is crazy about love!

If there is no Lu Weiai's bang bang bang bang against the big wall, this small world will not come into being.Feeling heaven and earth is not enough to describe the love between the two, it should be used to open up the world.

Great, great!Zhang Yuqing applauded Lu Wei in her heart, expressing her respect.

Zhang Yuying blushed slightly, and proudly pulled Madam Zhang coquettishly and said, "Why are you talking about me again? Stop talking!"

"Let's not talk about your sister, the left and right have already been decided. When your sister is old, the Lu family will come to welcome her." Mrs. Zhang smiled.

Zhang Yuying stomped her feet and said, "I have to go, I have to go back to practice calligraphy!"

"You go first!" Madam Zhang had already seen that Zhang Yuying couldn't get used to this dilapidated place, so she waved her to leave first.

When Zhang Yuying left, Mrs. Zhang said: "Your mother is gone, and the old lady doesn't care about things. I, as an aunt, have to worry about you."

Zhang Yuqing lowered her head and smiled without saying a word.

"I heard a piece of news two days ago." Mrs. Zhang straightened her face, and moved a little closer, "There is a high-ranking official in Beijing who wants to continue..."

Zhang Yuqing was startled, and looked up at Mrs. Zhang.

"Don't worry, listen to me. My aunt is doing it for your own good!" Mrs. Zhang pulled Zhang Yuqing and said, "Everyone in the capital wants a sensible governor and a daughter-in-law who is full of poetry and books, just like Your sister Yuying is like that. You have been away from home for many years, and people in the capital do not recognize you as the eldest lady, so it is impossible to find a young talent like your sister Yuying to be a young couple!"

The morning breeze blew, and the leaves of the tall poplar trees rustled. Against the golden morning sun, Mrs. Zhang's harsh face was much kinder and kinder. She looked earnest, as if she really planned for Zhang Yuqing.

Zhang Yuqing was depressed for a while, but she really tried hard enough to belittle her!Zhang Yuying can marry a young and handsome man with a good family background, but if she doesn't marry an old man with a neck buried in loess, it will be unreasonable?
"When you come to the city from the countryside, do you feel that you have entered our Zhang family and entered heaven?" Mrs. Zhang smiled, "But that family is a hundred times better than our Zhang family! I promise you, If you marry, you will fall into the nest of blessings! Food and clothing are all the best, and dozens of maids will follow you!"

Mrs. Zhang saw that Zhang Yuqing was silent, and sighed, "You little girls, you can't see the long-term. The sequel sounds bad, but the benefits are real! After such a poor life, do you still want to marry? A poor ghost? You and your younger sister Yuying are girls from the Zhang family now, but in a few years, your younger sister Yuying will be the wife of an official. She kowtowed to salute, are you not uncomfortable?"

"How big is the high official you mentioned?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Mrs. Zhang saw that Zhang Yuqing had spoken, and felt that she had grasped the little girl's psychology, which moved Zhang Yuqing's heart. She stretched out two fingers proudly, "Second-rank official! Your grandfather is also a regular second-rank!"

"Isn't it the year when my grandfather became a political governor?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Madam Zhang nodded.

"You said that the senior official who wants to continue is the second grade, how old is he?" Zhang Yuqing said bluntly, "I'm afraid he is older than grandfather?"

Mrs. Zhang was very unhappy, coughed lightly, and said, "It's not much older than your grandfather..."

Zhang Yuqing couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Zhang stood up angrily and scolded, "I wasted my time trying to find a way for you, why are you laughing?"

Zhang Yuqing also stood up, holding back a smile, and said very sincerely: "Ma'am, I misunderstood. I am very happy to hear such a good thing."

"You really think so?" Mrs. Zhang was dubious, "Do you really think this is a good marriage?"

Zhang Yuqing nodded, "Didn't you say that the other party is not only a high official but also rich? For a person like me, it's not bad. If I hadn't returned home, I would not have been so lucky!"

Mrs. Zhang heaved a sigh of relief, smiled, and saw that Zhang Yuqing was more pleasing to the eye, and said, "I mentioned this to your grandmother, but your grandmother, she doesn't want to...not willing to let you go out, but such a good thing, after There is no such store in this village!"

"In Madam's opinion, what should I do?" Zhang Yuqing asked with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang said happily: "You listen to me! You just go to your grandmother and say that you are willing to marry that adult, ask your grandmother to agree to this marriage, and leave the rest to me!"

"That's not good! Although I come from a mud-legged background, I also know that a woman's marriage is based on the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can she propose by herself?" Zhang Yuqing shook her head, "Besides, you said earlier, Said that grandma feels uncomfortable when she sees me, you said it, don't let me disturb her old man!"

Mrs. Zhang choked for a moment, and then said, "I'm doing it for your own good! If you don't fight for yourself, in the future, you will see your sisters marry the emperor's relatives and the emperor's relatives, and those who marry the new scholars will marry the new scholars. A situation where you are nothing, and there is no place to cry when the time comes!"

"Okay! I'll go to my grandmother later and ask." Zhang Yuqing said.

Mrs. Zhang stood up in satisfaction, probably in a very good mood. Before leaving, she even patted Zhang Yuqing on the shoulder, praising her for being a good boy. She acted like a weasel wishing a chicken a new year, which made Zhang Yuqing get goosebumps.

When the people left, Wang Chunniang came out of the room and asked nervously, "Girl, do you really want to marry that high official?"

Zhang Yuqing asked back: "Do you think I look like a fool?"

Wang Chunniang shook her head in embarrassment.

Zhang Yuqing smiled, and said casually, "But she thinks I'm a fool."

Wang Chunniang burst out laughing, seeing Zhang Yuqing's attitude, she knew she was worrying too much, "The old man is so old, and he wants to marry a little girl, how shameless!"

"Probably not a real woman." Zhang Yuqing shook her head, "At such an advanced age, the house is already full of children and grandchildren, and maybe they will have great-grandchildren in their arms. Marrying a real woman at this age, isn't that going to find a young ancestor for the children and grandchildren?"

Don't say that there is nothing wrong with the old man's mind, even if there is something wrong, the children and grandchildren will definitely not agree.

Mostly just want to find a young and beautiful concubine.

Wang Chunniang was startled and angry, "This is too humiliating! How could she have the face to coax you!"

"I told you earlier, you can't believe a word of her words." Zhang Yuqing smiled lightly.

"Girl, don't pay attention to that poisonous woman! You are smart and beautiful, not worse than their eldest daughter! You are still the daughter of their eldest master, so you have to marry someone like Mr. Lu!" Wang Chunniang said.
Zhang Yuqing quickly waved her hands, "Young Master Lu is Zhang Yuying's husband-in-law, don't mention him!"

Unless she committed crimes in her previous life, she will marry Lu Wei, who is full of ex-fiancees.

"I know Mr. Lu is the fiancé-in-law of the eldest girl in their family. I mean, you have to marry such a handsome young man with a good family background!" Wang Chunniang said.

Zhang Yuqing lay on the chair and looked at the tile-blue sky above the yard, rubbed her cousin's name card in her sleeve with her hands, thinking about her ideas, and said, "You don't understand, but old men are better than old men."

"What's so good about the old man?" Wang Chunniang was incredulous.

Zhang Yuqing chuckled, "Of course the old man will be fine. If you have more money and less work, you will die sooner!"

"The girl is talking nonsense again!" Wang Chunniang smiled so much that the veil covering her face was shaking.

After lunch, Zhang Yuqing went to the old lady's courtyard and asked the maid guarding the gate to see her.

Not long after, the nurse in front of the old lady came over and politely said that the old lady was asleep.

"Then I'll stand here and wait for grandma to wake up." Zhang Yuqing said with a smile as she had expected it.

Mammy looked at Zhang Yuqing's beautiful and quiet face, which looked like Tan Hualang's face, she sighed with a complex expression, and said unbearably: "Young lady is a sensible person, you should be able to tell that the old lady doesn't want to see you."
