Chapter 915: People can't stand without faith
Zhang Shou was finally a little surprised. I saw my mother Wu like that before, I was clearly aware of it but had been hiding it from my male party, but I didn't even know about the other female party, which shows that this marriage contract is really too cheating!
The words of the parents' matchmaker are true, but you can also give your children an early breath!
He sighed deeply and lay down in the thatched pile with his hands on his pillow: "I only knew that I had a mother since I was a child, and I didn't know who my father was. I thought I would finally know my life experience, but I didn't expect it to be an empty ...... Alas!"
Zhu Ying was also desperately complaining about her outspoken self at this time.
Although it was the first time to see Zhang Shou today, whether it was a chance encounter in the field, this meeting at his home, or the unprecedented lunch she had just eaten, she felt that the young man in front of her did not meet her previous vision of a vulgar fiancΓ© in the countryside.
But he is not like the powerful children she meets when she socializes on weekdays, either like a show-off peacock, or like a superficial white goose, I really want to describe him...... It seems to be like a clear spring flowing in the mountains and forests! What's more, the children of the nobles in the capital city think so highly of themselves on weekdays, and none of them are better looking than Zhang Shousheng!
Therefore, seeing that he seemed a little depressed, she almost subconsciously said: "Don't worry, I remember all the names of people in the capital!"
"That's great!" Zhang Shou immediately sat up, "Miss, can you give me some pointers, who are the people in the capital?"
Zhang Shou's sincere eyes for advice naturally moved Zhu Ying. She raised her eyebrows with a smile: "If you ask, I'll ask the right question!"
Zhu Ying completely forgot that she was holding Zhang Shou hostage in order to say a few more words to him alone, and it was best to find out the inside story of the so-called marriage contract. She actually sorted out her thoughts seriously, how could she explain clearly to Zhang Shou.
"In the officialdom of the capital, the most famous is Zhang Rui, the Duke of Chu who is as famous as my father. His second brother Zhang Qiong, the Bo of Xiangyang, and Zhang Mao, the Marquis of Wuling, are also generals with brilliant achievements. Like my father, they are all heroes who have made contributions to Emperor Ruizong. The Duke of Chu is almost seventy years old, and this time he is still in charge of Xuanfu, and the Marquis of Wuling is on duty as a guard. However, my father and Chu Guogong did not have a good relationship. β
mentioned his father, who was now impeached after a defeat in World War I, Zhu Ying's beautiful face revealed a trace of gloom: "Father and he never corresponded. It's just that I actually met Chu Guogong by chance, he is actually very kind, but I don't know why I can't get along with my father. β
The listener is intentional, the speaker is unintentional, Zhang Shou can't help but boldly imagine a possibility. Could it be that the so-called enmity is fake? The two people actually have a good relationship with each other, but on the surface, they don't get along with each other, and then the Duke of Chu Guo, who is afraid of the inside, also entrusts his concubine and concubine?
Zhu Ying didn't know that Zhang Shou, who seemed to be concentrating, was actually concentrating on making up for it, so she continued to speak.
"Then, it was Zhang Chuan, the Duke of Qin, his father Zhang Yun was the advisor of Emperor Ruizong back then, and it is said that he could make good decisions, and he was always indispensable in Emperor Ruizong's handsome tent. He is the second generation, the martial arts are mediocre, and the resourcefulness is only average, and he is more interested in compiling books than in being an official, and he compiled the records of Ruizong. β
Zhang Shou listened while continuing to diverge his thinking. Well, most of the strategists are worried about the rabbit dead and the dog cooking, maybe it's the cunning rabbit three holes?
"Then, there are the brothers Zhang Jingzhou, Marquis of Huaiqing, and Zhang Hanzhou, Marquis of Nanyang. My father and the Duke of Chu and the Duke of Qin had military positions such as commanders earlier, and the two of them only rose from small soldiers after Emperor Ruizong succeeded to the throne, fought the Northern Captives, leveled the Southern Barbarian Rebellion, and fought the Japanese Invaders, and finally became a marquis. But one of them is greedy for money, the other is lustful, and their father has been their boss, and every time they mention it, they hate iron but not steel!"
"My father once scolded them, 'Do you know that those imperial histories are like flies, once there is good meat and stinks, they will immediately sting in groups, not to mention the two of you rotten meat? Grandpa Ruizong is gone, do you think it is still the same as before? If you want a woman, you will go to the kiln, and if you want money, you will buy a boat and go to the sea, and if you continue to make trouble, Lao Tzu will castrate you Zhang Boss and beat you Zhang Lao Er to death!"
As she spoke, Zhu Ying, in order to show in depth how her father Zhao Guogong treated the two brothers, actually imitated her father's tone and repeated the original words she overheard at the beginning.
However, how can she play her father well at that age, not to mention not shy away from saying a castration, Zhang Shou has actually endured a stomachache with laughter, but in order to maintain a good image, Zhu Ying can continue to speak, not to mention how hard she endures.
"Don't forget to introspect yourself, Zhao Guogong is really wise!"
It was easy for Zhang Shou to suppress the hilarious impulse and give Zhao Guogong a high hat, but seeing that Zhu Ying suddenly didn't belong, he couldn't help but have a guess now that he was far away from the rivers and lakes.
Seeing that Zhu Ying looked wrong when she mentioned Zhao Guogong twice, could it be that her father was not in a good situation now?
This time, he actually forgot to think about it again, whether the Zhang brothers would have anything to do with him.
But soon, Zhu Ying recovered, cheered up and continued to count the names of those in the court.
"There is also Zhang Qian, the first emperor of the Tao Bo, who was detained in Mongolia in the early years of Emperor Ruizong's Hanguang, and then took advantage of Emperor Ruizong's victory to try to escape back, and brought back a lot of exiled people, because he wanted to promote such a feat, so Emperor Ruizong made him an earl. β
"Linfen Bo Zhang Wuxi, control the Yellow River, inspect water conservancy in various places, he is the general, plus there was a little military merit at the beginning, Emperor Ruizong was very generous, and even gave him an earl, and the court and China were going to quarrel at that time. β
"Weinan Bo Zhang Kang, his name was given by Emperor Ruizong, in fact, he was originally a barbarian who surrendered, and no one remembers his real name. He fought bravely and took the lead, and was seriously injured several times in order to save Emperor Ruizong......"
"And the governor Zhang Xinling......"
"There are also many civil officials with the surname Zhang, first of all, Zhang Yu, a university scholar, and recently promoted a bachelor of Hanlin surnamed Zhang, whose name I can't remember for a while. Well, in the six books, the ...... of the household books"
Rao is Zhang Shou has an excellent memory, but he found that there were more and more people, and there was a very familiar name among them, and he couldn't help but gradually numb his scalp.
He has no problem writing down these names and official resumes, but the problem is, with so many people with the surname Zhang, how can he be sure of his true life experience? Also, there are too many people with the surname Zhang in the world!
It wasn't until she finally finished saying that Zhu Ying found out that she had unconsciously introduced all the people surnamed Zhang in the DPRK and China to Zhang Shou. When she came back to her senses, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, she still wanted to ask more about him, how did it become that she was talking?
Seeing that the eldest lady was suddenly in a daze, Zhang Shou groaned slightly, and suddenly got up and left without saying a word.
When he did this, Zhu Ying couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
After asking the news I wanted to ask, I left her alone, why did this Zhang Shou cross the river and tear down the bridge like this!
In just a moment, Zhang Shou went and returned, still holding two large leaves in his hands. He went to the pond to clean the big leaves, rinsed them with mountain spring water, made two small green leaf cups from the green leaves, and then poured spring water from the clay pot into the cups, and then handed them to Zhu Ying.
"Are you thirsty? Drink a cup of mountain spring to moisten your throat. Thank you just now, I really listened to you, and it was better than reading a book for ten years. β
Zhu Ying lives a life surrounded by servants on weekdays, and there will be people who will serve her properly without even looking at her, but in this kind of countryside, she ate a chic meal, followed by Zhang Shou and sent a cup of rain like rain, she took it in a daze, and her mood suddenly improved.
It turned out that she was wrong to blame people...... Also, the talents in the capital are so slippery, and the people in the countryside are naturally simple.
Zhang Shou himself drank the mountain spring, and at the same time secretly thought to himself, just pushed the boat down the river and pretended to be successfully hostaged, and then coaxed Zhu Ying here, a picnic resolved the embarrassment of the so-called marriage contract, and heard a lot of news, it was really the right choice.
Now that the words are clear, let's annul the marriage contract.
As he was thinking so, he suddenly felt a little strange, and when he looked up, he saw Zhu Ying pinching the small and chic green leaf cup, sipping it like a lady, while looking at him. Even if he found out, she just smiled at him, but she was downright and generous, and she didn't mean to twist at all.
For this kind of hot gaze, he couldn't help but be a little funny, but at this time, he heard Miss Zhu's crisp voice: "By the way, what is your birthday?"
Of course, Zhang Shou remembered this day that Wu often mentioned, and replied casually: "Ten years of Yongchen, August 15." β
"Huh?" Zhu Ying exclaimed in surprise, "We were born in the same nature, both of them are Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Zhang Shou looked up suddenly. and Zhu Ying stared at each other for a moment, he had to admit that two children born in the same year, the same month and the same day, the elders of both sides had to come to the fingertips for marriage, and it was indeed very possible to put aside the ancient times.
However, now that this body is in charge of his brand-new soul, of course he has no intention of fulfilling this arranged marriage, so he laughed at the moment.
"That's a coincidence...... In short, if you are worried about the marriage contract, I will find a way to go back and see if my mother is really hiding this thing, and just steal it out and burn it. As for your side, I think you should have a way to go back, right?"
Burn the marriage certificate? What will happen then, I haven't found out yet! Moreover, my grandmother's personality is not the kind of person who will casually stick to my father's strange marriage contract. There must be something greasy here, she has to check it herself!
At this moment, Zhu Ying completely forgot that her purpose before this trip was to judge the authenticity of the marriage contract, hoping to negotiate good terms and write off the marriage - she was unwilling to marry into Lu Shangshu's family, but it did not mean that she would casually fulfill the strange marriage contract set by her father.
"Then how can it be done, people do not stand without faith, if so, will not my family become a person without faith!"
Zhang Shou didn't expect that he was willing to withdraw from the marriage now, but Zhu Ying disagreed, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He is a country boy, even if he has a good face, but he is poor and white, Zhu Ying will not really fall in love with him, right?
"If the eldest lady is afraid of being criticized for disliking the poor and loving the rich, then I will come forward to withdraw from this marriage, so that you don't have to carry the black pot in your family. β
Oops, oops, oops, terrible! She can't speak, and now she's at a dead end!
Zhu Ying was so anxious that she was about to burn her eyebrows, and when she was about to burn her eyebrows, she suddenly had an idea: "It's better to be like this! Grandmother hid the marriage book to the death, and she hadn't shown me the text before, if your mother really has a marriage book here, then I'll stay with you to find it, I want to see what is written on it." When we find it, can't we burn it again?"
Zhang Shou didn't expect the plot to unfold like this, and he was immediately caught off guard: "You want to stay in my house, isn't this appropriate......?"
Facing Zhang Shou, who showed a little embarrassment for the first time, Zhu Ying smiled like a flower for a while.
"This is your home, but it's also mine. Don't forget, Zhu Gongquan said before that this farm house belongs to my father, and I am also half the master. So, my excuse for staying here is also ready-made, just as I am patrolling the family property for my father!"
Seeing that the glamorous daughter, who had always been very reasonable, suddenly became reasonable, Zhang Shou was speechless.
Even if I can't refuse, can Zhu Gongquan of your family agree?
