Chapter 63
Mrs. Wang glanced at a small octagonal dark red box inlaid with gold, and there were two little golden figures inside. She couldn't help touching it, but she didn't know what mechanism she touched, and it rang out, knocking Wang off. Shi was startled, and threw it back into the box with a shake of his hand.

"This, this, this...why is it still ringing?"

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was startled, Chu Zhi explained with a smile: "This is given to me by my third aunt. It is Fanbang's music box. It is very fun. Just twist the spring next to the box, and there will be music inside. Open the lid." , the people above can still dance!"

After speaking, he demonstrated it to Mrs. Wang.

Seeing Wang was dumbfounded.

"My dear, there is such a fetish in the world who can dance inside the box, it's really an eye-opener."

Not only Wang, but even Zhao Zheng came forward with surprise on his face.

Chu Zhi smiled, these things may be rare now, but after ten years, the country will be opened wide, foreign countries will come to court and conduct trade, and the West Market in Chang'an City will be full of these strange things.

"This box is full of jewels and headgear. Take them back with Dad. The second brother should discuss marriage. The third brother has to study again. I will exchange these for money to be used around me."

These were given to Chu Zhi by Mrs. Lin and the old lady in private, and Chu Zhi saved them up. When she first came to the mansion, she didn't have any silver taels, so she could only take out these jewelry.

In the end, Wang refused to live or die, and asked Chu Zhi to keep it as a dowry in the future.

"Fortunately, I praised you for growing up just now, but you don't know the importance in a blink of an eye. You can take out so many precious jewelry as you say. Girls don't have money, and they will be looked down upon by their husbands in the future. How can you make sense of this?" You don’t understand?” Mrs. Wang didn’t shy away from Zhao Zheng, “Why are you so sympathetic to me when you are your father? Isn’t it because I spent all my dowry to see your grandfather and mother-in-law, and your father would remember me? If I didn’t Money, your grandpa and grandma don’t need to be treated for illness, do you think your father can still be tortured by me like this?”

Chu Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, what are you talking about? Dad treats you well because of this!"

Zhao Zheng is simple and honest, not good at words, but Wang is outspoken and hot, even if Wang is angry, Zhao Zheng will let her, just because Wang is younger than Zhao Zheng.

Biansheng Wang thinks that Zhao Zheng treats her well because her natal family is rich.

In fact, in the final analysis, they are all ordinary people. Where can more money go?
It's just a little richer than others.

Mrs. Wang refused to accept Chu Zhi's things no matter what, she just said: "I can take the things in this box back to Huzi, but you take these jewels away quickly, if you don't take them away, I will be angry."

Chu Zhi had no choice but to agree.

She dug out some clothes from the cabinet: "These are also given by my grandmother, eldest sister, and the third aunt. There are too many clothes and I can't wear them. My sister-in-law is the same size as me. You take these clothes back to my sister-in-law." It's not easy for sister-in-law to wear it."

At the beginning, Chu Zhi's elder brother, Zhao Fugui, accidentally injured his leg on the eve of his marriage. Someone in the village tripped him up, saying that Zhao Fugui had become lame, and the Liu family wanted to regret the marriage, saying that they would marry Liu to a wealthy gentry as a concubine. Wang was so angry that he was half dead.

Fortunately, the sister-in-law Liu insisted, and they were able to get married.

It's just that Liu's natal family is not clear. Every now and then, they come to the Zhao family to ask for money on the grounds that their daughter has been wronged and married, and point their noses and call Liu a white-eyed wolf, saying that if she hadn't married Zhao Fugui, she would It was the landlord's wife, for which Mrs. Liu shed tears.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wang is reasonable, no matter how much she doesn't like the Liu family, she is still kind to Mrs. Liu.

Hearing what Chu Zhi said now, he nodded and agreed, but he was still a little bit reluctant: "This material is so good. Your sister-in-law is a country person, and she has to work in the fields every day like me. How can I have a chance to wear this?"

Chu Zhi disagreed: "I have to work on weekdays, and I can always wear them during the holidays."

As she said that, she asked Dong'er to wrap up her clothes, and while Mrs. Wang wasn't paying attention, she asked Dong'er to tidy up a few sets of clothes, and wrapped them up quietly.

Dong'er was obedient, she did what Chu Zhi said, and her actions were crisp and neat.

On the other hand, Nanny Qian hesitated to speak, and looked at Chu Zhi several times.

These were given by the old lady and the third lady. Not long after the fifth girl returned to the house, there were not many things in the treasury. They finally saved up to cover the bottom. Now they have given most of them to the Wang family, and there is very little left. .

But seeing that Chu Zhi didn't care, Nanny Qian didn't say any more.

Sure enough, just as they were talking here, the Wu family sent someone to spread the word that Chu Xi had hurt her foot and needed to recuperate, and that she would go back to Zhao's house after the injury was cured.

Wang's eyes dimmed a little. She had already guessed that Chu Xi would not leave, but she was inevitably a little disappointed.

Knowing that Wang Shi was sad, Chu Zhi went out to tease her and comfort her.

When she got to the gate of the mansion, Mrs. Wang saw Cao Mama standing not far away, she gritted her teeth and said, "Now that you have become the daughter of an official family, I am afraid that we have nothing to do with you. In the future, you will live your glory In the days of wealth and honor, we can't afford to climb high, so you can pretend that you don't have my mother, and I don't have your daughter!"

After finishing speaking, he opened Chu Zhi's fingers forcefully, turned around and got into the carriage.

Chu Zhi was stunned for a while, and when she came back to her senses, the coachman had already left with the carriage.

Chu Zhi suddenly ran after her with her skirt in her hand: "Mother! Mother, wait for me! I have something to say!"

As soon as Wang got into the carriage, tears flowed like springs, and now when she heard Chu Zhi calling her, tears flowed down like rain.

She bit the back of her hand tightly to keep herself from crying.

That's the daughter she raised with her own hands. How could she say no to it? It's just that the Chu family was right in thinking about it. With her status, she couldn't implicate Zhi Yatou.

Chu Zhi actually wanted to catch up and told Wang himself that no matter who she is now, they are her parents.

What I didn't understand in the previous life, I finally got it right in this life. It wasn't that Wang didn't want her, but that Wang loved her.

But Wang's carriage didn't stop.

Chu Zhi stopped chasing after a while, and stood still watching the carriage drive away.

Cao Mama caught up and said to Chu Zhi: "Fifth Miss, Mrs. Zhao knows that you are a filial child, but now you are the daughter of the Chu family, so naturally you have to make a choice, not for anything else, even if it is for you in the future, you have to make a choice." decision."

Chu Zhi pursed his lips, but did not speak.

She wants to live a different life, to no longer be at the mercy of others, no longer trapped in this small world, struggling for a lifetime, and finally dies tragically.

What she wants is a wider and freer place beyond this world. She wants to go further than others, see higher, and live more freely.

Chu Zhi lowered his eyes, and said to himself from the bottom of his heart: Five years, just five years, she will be able to fulfill her wish, and then she will be able to bring her parents to the capital and be filial to them.

As soon as Wang and Zhao Zheng left, the mansion returned to calm.

In the evening, Chu Zhi went to find his elder brother Chu Yan to return the book, only to see a little maid running outside holding something furtively.
