Chapter 816
The capital is Zhangfu.

The younger brother of Zhang Ning's father, Concubine Xian, also holds the position of Minister of Rites, but Zhang Ning's father, Zhang Hengzhong, does not have any substantial status in the court, just like Concubine Xian, although he is a concubine, it is of no use.

However, Zhang Hengzhong still has a reputation as a minister of the Ministry of Rites. What's more, Zhang Hengzhong also has an elder sister who is a concubine in the palace, and she is the elder sister who gave birth to the prince. The mansion is in the quieter north of the capital, the place is spacious, and the surrounding people are either rich or expensive, so the place can be considered good.

The Zhang family is relatively quiet on weekdays. Zhang Ning's father, Zhang Hengzhong, is not a lustful person. There are only two wives in the family, and the relationship is not bad, unlike other families who fight every day to kill each other.

Zhang Ning's mother is also a great beauty. Although she is in her mid-mature, she still has a charming charm. The second room is a little younger, but she is also knowledgeable. Whenever something happened, they were discussed and done. Speaking of it, Zhang Hengzhong was a lucky person.

On this day, the Zhang family received a letter from the palace. The letter was naturally sent by Concubine Xian, but the contents of the letter were not pleasant, especially Mrs. Zhang, who could not stop sighing after reading the letter.

The second lady happened to be with her and asked: "Sister, what's wrong? What did the concubine Xian say?"

Mrs. Zhang sighed and handed the letter to her. After reading it, the second lady's face sank.

"Back when the concubine Xian said she wanted to train Ning'er, I thought it was a good thing for me. Now that I think about it, how much suffering my daughter suffered because of the greed at that time, she is not willing to say it on weekdays. , but my sister, how long has it been since my daughter laughed, I almost can't remember."

The second lady is also distressed: "Yes, you are really talking about the concubine Xian. It is not our Ning'er's fault that you were not selected. Why is there so much sarcasm between the lines? Look at what is written here. What are you talking about if you fail again this time, you can do it yourself in the future, how can you do it yourself? If the daughter of our Zhang family can't marry into the Yun family, can the house be ransacked?"

"Sister, don't talk nonsense, be careful that the walls have ears."

The second lady took a deep breath, nodded slightly, wondering: "Sister, how can I deal with this, Ning'er has been sad for the past two days, if she is asked to do this kind of thing... Sigh, the concubine Xian is too cruel Well, how can Ninger be her niece too?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head helplessly: "Concubine Xian has been in the palace for so long, I'm afraid she has already stopped caring about her relatives, sister, fortunately our Zhang family has only one girl, Ning'er, otherwise, she must not be the only one suffering. "

The second lady sighed: "Yeah, it's just that Ning'er is suffering. How can we elders speak like this?"

"There's nothing you can do if you can't speak. The concubine Xian has given her orders. If you don't do what she says, our Zhang family will be in constant trouble. Ning'er is sensible, she should understand."

"Sister, otherwise, let my sister decide this matter. Even if Ning'er wants to hate, let her hate me alone. Sister, you have the right to pretend that you don't know."

"How can this work? I appreciate my sister's kindness, but I can't accept this matter."

"What's wrong with accepting it? Our own sister, my sister doesn't need to say more, this matter is settled like this. I will show this letter to Ning'er and she will understand."

"What letter?" While the two were talking, Zhang Ning came over with a pastry in his hand, obviously bringing them some snacks. Seeing this, the two felt even more uncomfortable.

Seeing the letter in the hands of the second lady, Zhang Ning had a bad feeling in her heart. After putting down the snacks, she said hello to the two: "Ninger, hello to the mother, and hello to the second mother."

"Ning'er, you don't need to be so polite in your own home."

"No, the person sent by my aunt taught me that no matter what time it is, you must be respectful and orderly." She said, her lips trembling slightly: "This letter is from my aunt, let Ning'er read it." .”

The second lady hesitated, Madam Zhang said: "Sister, since Ning'er has already seen it, you can show it to her, she will also want to see it sooner or later."

"Oh, good." The second lady handed the letter to Zhang Ning. After reading it, Zhang Ning was stunned for a while, then quickly came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Please also ask mother to write back to aunt, just say that Ning'er knows I will do my best." After saying that, she blessed the two of them: "Ning'er will take her leave first."

Mrs. Zhang and the second Mrs. Zhang got up one after another, and stopped her worriedly: "Ning'er, it's useless to be a mother, and you have been wronged."

Zhang Ning shook her head: "As the daughter of the Zhang family, Ning'er should be aware of it. Mother, don't worry, Ning'er is fine. Ning'er just wants to go back and rest. At least, let's talk about it after the New Year." In the last sentence, Zhang Ning's Her voice was already a little choked up, but after she finished speaking, she couldn't hold it back any longer, tears welled up in her eyes, she turned around and ran out, and the letter fell on the ground.

It was still snowing yesterday, and the yard was still frozen. Zhang Ning ran too fast, slipped and fell to the ground. The maid who followed behind hurriedly helped her up, but was thrown away by Zhang Ning. She struggled to get up, Limping forward, along the corridor, Zhang Ning's back looked so lonely and sad.

Mrs. Zhang and the second wife saw this scene clearly, and they couldn't bear it. The second lady picked up the letter on the ground and sighed again.

The letter sent by Concubine Xian said that she had already arranged everything for Ning'er. Yun Shaoyi, the fourth son of the Yun family, had returned, and the emperor ordered him to stay in the capital for a longer period of time to train the soldiers in the barracks. If everything goes well , and will be transferred back to the capital soon, so Zhang Ning must seize the opportunity to get in touch with this Fourth Young Master Yun. Said that this matter can only succeed and not fail, if not successful, the consequences will be at your own risk.

as a result of?What kind of consequences?
Zhang Ning returned to the room crying, and the maid Zhenlan followed into the room, persuading: "Miss, don't be too sad, if you are like this, the maidservant will cry too."

Zhang Ning broke down in tears and choked up, "Go out, I want to be alone for a while."

"Miss."

"Get out, get out!"

Zhenlan quickly responded, bowed and retreated.

Zhang Ning lay on the table, hid her head in her arms, and cried heartily. When she finished crying, she raised her head and wiped her tears. She tried to squeeze out a smile, and said to herself: " Didn’t you say it’s okay to be careless, everyone is the same, everyone is the same.”
