Husband has a sweetheart

Chapter 40 Selling Zhuangzi
On the second day, Mrs. Zhang sent someone to call Zhang Yuqing to meet her.

When Zhang Yuqing passed by, Mrs. Zhang was hugging Zhang Yujin and feeding her.

Seeing someone approaching, Mrs. Zhang gave the child to the maid, and raised her head to look at Zhang Yuqing who was standing there quietly with her hands down.

A 15-year-old girl is at the time when she is beautiful and juicy, clean and elegant, with a calm temperament, like an orchid blooming in a deep valley, even if she is only wearing old clothes that don't fit, she can't hide her beauty.

"I underestimated you! You are also capable!" Mrs. Zhang sneered, annoyed in her heart, what a loss!Not only failed to sell Zhang Yuqing to the old man as a concubine, but had to pay a sum of money to get in!

Zhang Yuqing didn't say anything.

"Didn't you ask me to tell you about a husband's family earlier? I found one by myself! Fortunately, nothing bad happened, otherwise this family would not be able to accommodate you!" Mrs. Zhang slapped the table fiercely, her voice stern scolded.

Zhang Yuqing spread her hands, with a helpless expression on her face, "I can't find the old man and wife I want, and I can't be an old lady in Zhang's house!"

"Forget it, you have your own ideas, and I can't help it! Whether it's Yangguan Road or the single-plank bridge, you can go by yourself!" Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "The old lady asked me to talk about Zhuangzi. I thought, since you are going to marry Go to Wujun, you can't take these two Zhuangzi with you in the capital, why don't you sell them and exchange them for silver taels, counting the family's makeup for you, what do you think?"

Zhang Yuqing raised her head and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Madam, I don't understand what you said. These two Zhuangzi are originally my mother's private property. How come the Zhang family added makeup to me?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang was so annoyed that she almost gritted her teeth, holding her breath and said: "You are still young, you don't know what happened back then! After the barbarians left, Zhuangzi was almost destroyed! If it weren't for Zhang The family used the money to rebuild Zhuangzi, and it is still a pile of ruins! The Zhang family has invested a lot of money in and out over the years!"

Zhang Yuqing glanced at the pretending Madam Zhang, and said dryly, "Thank you Madam!"

"You don't need to thank me! Who told me that I am also a kind person!" Mrs. Zhang sighed, "I asked the manager to inquire about it yesterday. There are really a few people who want to buy Zhuangzi!"

Zhang Yuqing raised her eyebrows and asked, "Oh? How much are they bidding?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled and held out three fingers.

Before she could speak, Zhang Yuqing asked, "3 taels?"

Mrs. Zhang barely choked on her saliva.

"What are you thinking! What is 3 taels!" Mrs. Zhang was anxious and angry, "That Zhuangzi is not made of gold, it is worth 3 taels?! 300 taels!"

Zhang Yuqing looked regretful, "It's only 300 taels?"

"What do you know? 300 taels is already an excellent price!" Mrs. Zhang said quickly, "If it wasn't for my sake, they would have paid 250 taels at most!"

Zhang Yuqing cursed in her heart, saying that your whole family is two hundred and five! Who is 250 taels of silver to humiliate!
"You are still young, you have high eyes and low hands, and you don't understand the market conditions! I will guard you, so you can rest assured! I can't lose you! Although we haven't been together for long, we are real flesh and blood relatives. I can't cheat you. Besides, what good will it do me to cheat you? Don't you think so?" Mrs. Zhang laughed.

Mrs. Zhang pushed some papers on the table over and said, "This is the deed for buying and selling Zhuangzi. Please sign your name... Oh, yes, I forgot that you are illiterate, just press your fingerprint! Come on, Bring the ink pad."

Zhang Yuqing glanced at the deed, which said that the price of the two Zhuangzi was 300 taels, and the buyer was Guo Tong, and couldn't help but sneer.

She remembered that Mrs. Zhang's surname was Guo.

Mrs. Zhang opened all the ink pads, and handed them to Zhang Yuqing with a smile.

"Thank you Madam for your kindness, but the price is too low, I won't sell it!" Zhang Yuqing said.

Hearing Zhang Yuqing's voice of refusal, Mrs. Zhang looked up at Zhang Yuqing in astonishment.

Zhang Yuqing looked at her coldly with dark eyes.

"You child! Why are you so ignorant!" Mrs. Zhang was annoyed, and her hair was frightened by Zhang Yuqing's eyes.

Zhang Yuqing asked back: "Is it an excellent price to buy two farms for 300 taels of silver?"

"Of course! I can't find such a suitable price anywhere!" Mrs. Zhang said angrily.

Zhang Yuqing then said: "I'll give Madam 1000 taels, as long as Madam helps me buy a farm, and the extra money will be Madam's hard work, how about it?"

Mrs. Zhang was speechless, her eyes wide open and she had nothing to say.

Zhang Yuqing chuckled, "Ma'am, if there is nothing else, I'll go first. When you finish sorting out Zhuangzi, just give me the land deed."

Before walking out of the courtyard, Zhang Yuqing heard the sound of porcelain breaking from the room.

The maidservants in the yard looked sideways at her and pointed.

Zhang Yuqing looked back at Mrs. Zhang's room, the bamboo curtain at the door was still closed, turned around and left expressionlessly.

When Zhang Yuying and Zhang Yuqian came over, they had already heard people talking about Zhang Yuqing's plan to take away Zhuang Zi on the way.

"Shameless thing!" Zhang Yuqian was furious, "Grandmother is so confused! She can agree to this!"

Zhang Yuying frowned, "That's all for nothing, Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing must not be snatched away by her!"

In the past two years, she has also studied housekeeping with Mrs. Zhang, knowing that the two Zhuangzi are of great significance to the Zhang family.

"Root? She deserves it too!" Zhang Yuqian said disdainfully.

The anger on Mrs. Zhang's face hadn't dissipated yet, and when she saw a pair of children approaching, her heart felt even more sour and sad.The sour thing is that I put my whole heart and soul into it for my children, and the sad thing is that Zhang's family, from the old lady to Zhang Zuozhen, and from the time she married into Zhang's family, all of them are against her, so damn hateful!
And that Zhang Yuqing, like a lingering evil spirit, has been looking for her after more than ten years!It made her want to kill him quickly.

"I can't live through this day!" Mrs. Zhang choked with red eyes, "They all spend a lot of money, don't know the difficulties of firewood, rice, oil and salt, they only come to make things difficult for me! And that girl doesn't have the slightest respect for me, It's like putting my face on the ground and stepping on it!"

Zhang Yuqian saw his mother was so sad that she was about to cry, he was so angry that he stroked his sleeves and shouted: "I'll go and deal with her right away! Let her know how many eyes Prince Ma has!"

"Come back!" Zhang Yuying hastily pulled him back, "Don't be impulsive!"

"How can I just watch her lawless there, and see how angry my mother is!" Zhang Yuqian shouted angrily.

Mrs. Zhang also quickly grabbed her furious son, "My son, you are a young master and she is a girl. How are you going to deal with her? Let the word out, you deal with your own sisters, are you still a man? After two days The exam is about to be released, so don't make any ugly noises!"

After coming out from Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Yuqing took Wang Chunniang out and found He Qi's home.

After the old lady of the He family left, He Qi was the only one left in the He family. Although the house was poor, it was tidy and clean.Zhang Yuqing couldn't help but glanced at the next door. A family had already moved in. Several children, big and small, were playing around with their noses dragging. It was completely impossible to tell that two people died in the next door.

After He Qi came back from work, he was surprised and delighted to see Zhang Yuqing and Wang Chunniang, and said that he had just received his wages today, and he was going to a restaurant to order a table of noodles and treat them to a meal.

"Thank you Brother He for your kindness." Zhang Yuqing waved her hand, "I came today to ask Brother He for a favor."

He Qi was worried that there was no place to repay Zhang Yuqing's life-saving grace, so he said without hesitation: "Miss, just tell me."

Zhang Yuqing told He Qi about selling off the two Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.

"Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing... that's worth a lot of money! If it's a little bigger, you'll always want tens of thousands of taels of silver!" He Qi exclaimed, "It's just that I know few rich people, so I'm afraid I have to ask Fang Mo Go find out!"

Zhang Yuqing hurriedly said, "There's no need to bother Fang Mo with this matter."

He Qi asked anxiously: "But what did that kid say again that made the girl angry?"

"That's not true." Seeing that He Qi was about to beat up Fang Mo, Zhang Yuqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and simply explained: "These two Zhuangzi were my mother's dowry back then, and Mrs. Zhang has been in charge of my mother since her accidental death." Now, if I want to take it back, she is naturally unwilling."

He Qi was startled, "But this Zhuangzi is not hers in the first place, it's only natural for the girl to take it back!"

Wang Chunniang said helplessly: "Mrs. Zhuangzi has been in charge of Mrs. Zhang for so many years, and she has taken the benefits for so many years. Put the meat in her mouth and treat it as her own!"

"The eldest daughter of the Zhang family is Fang Mo's future mistress. If Fang Mo comes forward to find a buyer, I think it will inevitably offend others, so I don't bother Mr. Fang Mo with this matter." Zhang Yuqing said empathetically.

He Qi didn't expect this to be the case, and he clasped his fists and said with emotion: "The girl is a good person! It's just that the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing is priceless. If the girl sells it, it will be difficult to buy it again! If you don't need money, why don't you just put it there?" , the annual output is also a huge amount of income!"

Wang Chunniang said with a smile: "Brother He doesn't know something. My girl's marriage is settled and she's going to marry Wu County. That's why I want to sell Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing!"

He Qi was very surprised, and turned to look at Zhang Yuqing, "The girl wants to marry so far away?"

Zhang Yuqing nodded.

Wang Chunniang said: "The Zhang family treats our girl very coldly, but the family in Wu County treats my girl very well. There is nothing to miss in the capital, so it's better to go far away and have a good home!"

He Qi rubbed his rough hands back and forth, looked up at Wang Chunniang's gentle and beautiful eyes above the veil, summoned up his courage, and stammered, "Then, what about you?"

"Me?" Wang Chunniang asked in surprise, "Are you asking me?"

He Qi nodded, his simple and honest face was full of nervousness, "You, do you want to follow the girl to Wu County?"

"I..." Wang Chunniang hesitated, she was only happy that Zhang Yuqing had a good home, and didn't think about herself.

"Chun Niang will definitely follow me." Zhang Yuqing said softly.

She brought Wang Chunniang out of the house, and she must not leave it alone.

"Are you going to Wu County too?" He Qi couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, but he always felt disappointed and sour.
