Husband has a sweetheart

Chapter 9
Zhang Yuqing rushed out of the room, stuffed the face-washing kerchief in her hand into the little girl's mouth, and shouted viciously: "Shut up!"

Wang Chunniang ran back into the house trembling, covering her face tightly.

With tears in her eyes, the little girl looked at Zhang Yuqing in horror.

"Who are you?" Zhang Yuqing asked with unfriendly eyes.

The little girl was speechless.

Zhang Yuqing reached out and took out the handkerchief from the little girl's mouth.

"I, I am ordered by my wife to come and serve you!" The little girl said tremblingly, and began to cry. She was really afraid of this "Lonely Evil Star", who heard that he would only attack those close to him.

Zhang Yuqing's teeth were a little itchy, this little girl looked less than ten years old, who sent her here to serve whom?
"I don't need anyone to wait on you, go back!" Zhang Yuqing waved her hand.

The little girl was eager to leave quickly, got up from the ground, and ran away without looking back.

Wang Chunniang wrapped her face, only showing a pair of eyes, came out of the room, looked at Zhang Yuqing worriedly, "Or I'd better go!"

"I haven't even started looking for the child yet. Where are you going? You have to go. When you find the child, you can take the child with you!" Zhang Yuqing said, went out with the food box, closed the courtyard door, and put the latch on.

Wang Chunniang looked at the closed courtyard door and sighed, "I'm afraid I'll drag you down."

When Zhang Yuqing went out to get breakfast, she could always feel the probing eyes projected from all directions, and she could also hear whispers such as "broom star" and "heavenly evil star".

At noon when she went to get lunch, what she heard was "she raised a ghost" and "it's scary to death".

In the evening, when she went to get dinner, the horror legend of the Zhang family had progressed to "I heard that at night, horns would grow on her head".

Zhang Yuqing lay on the bed full of food and drink, lamenting that the Zhang family really deserves to be a family that can produce a great heroine, the temple is a little monster, and the pond is shallow and full of kings!
The headed wife of a scholarly family condoned her servants to spread such rumors. She really experienced how much Zhang's wife hated her.

After two days like this, Mrs. Zhang sent someone to inform her that the old man, master and young master at home would come back in the evening, and the whole family would have a meal together, which could be regarded as a formal introduction of Zhang Yuqing to the Zhang family.

Mama Liu, the lady in charge who came to pass on the message, took a sneak peek at Wang Chunniang, who was covered in a cloth handkerchief, and thought to herself that the eyes that were exposed were gentle and beautiful, but the little girl said that the woman was described as ugly and frightening, more ugly than those in ghost stories. Yasha is even more terrifying, I don't know what it looks like when the veil is removed.

This big girl who had just come home was also strange, she didn't want a good-looking maid, but only this country girl with a scar on her face.

"Thank you for making this trip, please." Zhang Yuqing said, "If mom is free, can you tell me about the situation of the old lady and the old man?"

Seeing that she was still wearing the rough linen clothes she had when she entered the mansion, Madam Liu reckoned that they were the clothes that Miss Yuying sent over from her wife, and she was reluctant to wear them.

Without the protection of her own parents, it is pitiful for the well-behaved eldest daughter of the Zhang family to be reduced to the point where she is not even as good as a concubine daughter. Mother Liu sat down and talked to her a few words.

"Our old man was a second-rank political advisor during his lifetime! When Zhang's ancestors were the most prosperous, they served as grand masters and privy envoys, and there were seven Jinshi alone! A truly scholarly family! Every inch of the capital is expensive, But look at the house of the Zhang family, which was newly built after the Luerwei Rebellion, and it is one of the largest houses in the capital!" Mama Liu said proudly.

Zhang Yuqing was slightly startled, Shen Zhizhengshi was equivalent to a deputy prime minister, a well-known and powerful figure, but it was a pity that Mrs. Zhang passed away.

"Girl, your biological father is the elder of our family. He is Tanhua Lang! Not only is he a good one, but he is also one of the best in looks! Back then, after Tanhua was in high school, the old master rode through the streets on horseback. Throw sachets and handkerchiefs on the old man, tsk tsk tsk! You don’t know how beautiful and lively it is! A lot of people are talking about it, oh, yes! Having a child should be as clear as it should be!” Mother Liu sighed as she looked at Zhang Yuqing .

If the Eldest Master is still alive, given how much the Elder Master loves his daughter, this girl is now a celebrity, and Tan Hua Lang's daughter must be more respectable than Miss Yuying!

"Really..." Zhang Yuqing said softly, imagining the scene of her father throwing fruit carts back then, she couldn't help but smile.

Ms. Liu patted Zhang Yuqing's hand and comforted her, "Now that the girl has returned to her home, she has settled down. Don't worry, better days are yet to come!"

"I don't know where my uncle is now?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Mother Liu said with a smile: "Our master is now Chaofenglang."

Zhang Yuqing waited for a while, but when Mama Liu said nothing else, she understood in seconds.Don't talk about comparing with the scenery of the ancestors, even comparing with the twin brothers, Zhang Zuozhen really can't do it. He is only the seventh rank in the middle age, the rank is low, and he is not good at it. .

"You have another elder brother, Master Yuqian, who is almost fourteen and studying in the outer courtyard. You will see him tomorrow." Mother Liu said, "Master Yuqian, Master Yucheng, Master Yujin and Miss Yuying They were all born to Madam, the Miss Yu Shu you met the day before yesterday was born to Aunt Yuan."

The grandfather who once became the center of political power passed away. Zhang Zuoming, who was considered to be the successor of the Zhang family, unfortunately passed away during the war. The surviving Zhang Zuozhen was incompetent. When - Zhang Yuqing summed it up.

I just don't know if this is the lowest point of the Zhang family, or if they will continue to run wildly on the downhill road in the future.

"Are there no other children in my generation?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Mama Liu smiled and shook her head.

Zhang Yuqing understood that the three grandchildren of the Zhang family all crawled out of Mrs. Zhang's stomach. No wonder Mrs. Zhang had the confidence to manipulate her and blatantly ignored her.

"Now the wife is in charge of the house, and the old lady basically doesn't care about things." Liu's mother hinted, "The girl should go to the lady's place to sit with her when she is free, and be filial."

Zhang Yuqing nodded with a smile, and sent Mama Liu out.

Wang Chunniang was worried about Zhang Yuqing. She had been here for a few days and observed a lot.Although she has never met Miss Zhang's family, she has seen the maids of Zhang's family, all of them are dressed in gold and silver, and their clothes and shoes are exquisite and luxurious, just like the fairies in the painting.

This Zhang family is a veritable nest of wealth!
It is clear that Zhang Yuqing is a serious young lady of the Zhang family, but she is not even as good as a maid.

"I can make shoes, how about we make a pair of shoes for your aunt?" Wang Chunniang said.

Zhang Yuqing looked at Wang Chunniang's serious face, shook her head and laughed, "It's okay to make shoes for yourself, but forget it for her."

"How can you forget it? This is your filial piety! It's good for you to please Madam!" Wang Chunniang persuaded.

Zhang Yuqing still shook her head, and said with an irresistible tone, "Don't waste your time."

Wang Chunniang could only sigh.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yuqing changed her clothes, Wang Chunniang combed her hair, and put in a silk flower that Mother Liu sent today.

"The flowers are so pretty!" Wang Chunniang laughed, "It looks real!"

Zhang Yuqing chuckled, and lazily looked at the cloth flower in the bronze mirror, "It's just a worthless thing!"

Don't even think about it, Zhang Yuying definitely didn't want it.

After going out, Mother Liu was already waiting there, leading her to the front yard.Mother Liu looked at Zhang Yuqing and said with emotion: "The girl is so handsome!"

"Mom, thank you." Zhang Yuqing lowered her head, showing a shy look.

When they arrived at the front yard, Zhang Yuqing walked into the room. In the front hall, Zhang Yuying was leading Zhang Yucheng. Zhang Yujin and Zhang Yushu were flipping through a book, laughing from time to time.

Seeing Zhang Yuqing walking over, with a clean hibiscus face and a light yellow camellia silk flower on her sideburns, Zhang Yuying's eyes flashed, and she couldn't help but think of a poem: Hibiscus comes out of clear water, and it is natural to carve.

The cheap and tacky cloth flowers that I don't want look good on this country girl's head!

Zhang Yuying began to feel uncomfortable again, but thinking of her mother's words, comparing herself to her is insulting herself, and lowering her self-worth, she put on a friendly smile and waved: "You are here, come and play together! "

A servant girl guarding in the front hall entered the inner room and went to inform the master that Zhang Yuqing had come.

Zhang Yucheng looked up and asked, "Didn't mother say that she grew up in the countryside? Can she read?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Yuying glanced at Zhang Yuqing quickly, and reprimanded her younger brother.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Zhang Yushu and Zhang Yujin were too nervous to say anything.

Zhang Yuqing's expression remained unchanged, she sat aside, glanced at the cover of the book, it turned out to be a joke, she shook her head and said, "Go on reading, I can't read."

"Why are you calling me nonsense again! She even said she didn't recognize it!" Zhang Yucheng stared and stomped his feet, very angry.

Zhang Yuying smiled and rubbed Zhang Yucheng's head, and coaxed: "Okay, you are right!" With a decent smile, she pushed a plate of melon seeds on the small table in front of Zhang Yuqing, "Second brother is young, If you have a mouth but no heart, don't take it to heart, eat melon seeds!"

"Thank you, sister Yuying." Zhang Yuqing smiled, and looked at Zhang Yucheng who continued to read without heart and heart, laughing out loud from time to time, and curled the corners of her lips.

Mrs. Zhang's wife, who is full of eyes all over her body, gave birth to such a tough guy...

At this moment, the maid who had gone to the inner room to report came out, walked up to Zhang Yuqing, and whispered: "Madam, please go in."

Before the words finished, Zhang Yuying looked over immediately.

Zhang Yuqing's face remained unchanged, she got up and went to the inner room, opened the bead curtain and went in.

An old lady with gray hair and brown blessing pattern on her forehead was sitting on the couch in the middle, with Mrs. Zhang sitting beside her.

"This is your grandmother!" Madam Zhang laughed.

The servant girl who served beside brought a mat, and Zhang Yuqing knelt down.

The old lady looked at that face, and the grief that had just calmed down surged again, and her eyes quickly filled with tears.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly wiped away the old lady's tears, frowned and waved to Zhang Yuqing, who had just knelt down before opening her mouth, "Your grandmother can't see you, you go out first!"
