Zhu Ying was secretly annoyed because Zhang Shou called her eldest lady again, and when she heard the word Yanguan Qunfang, her displeasure flew out of the clouds, and was replaced by happiness. But when the last question landed, she couldn't help but look slightly gloomy.

Seeing that this question stumped Zhan Jin and Liuyin, or rather, none of them dared to answer it easily, she patted the armrest and said angrily: "What is it? There are many people who admire me openly and secretly! But I am not a pig-headed fool, or I am pretentious, I don't even bother to look at them, otherwise I would like to wash my eyes!"

"There are also some sanctimonious hypocrites, who are secretly staring at me all day long, and they don't dare to admit it, and they even shake their heads and sigh behind their backs, saying that they attract bees and butterflies, and bring disaster to the country and the people, bah, hypocrites, I have also beaten two in public!"

Seeing that the more she spoke, the more angry she became, Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing and said: "My fair lady, good gentleman, this is human nature." As for the kind of hypocrite who is beautiful on the one hand and pretends to be serious on the other, if he catches him, he should be slapped in the face!"

However, on a whim, he echoed the eldest lady who dared to love and hate, and Zhang Shoufang realized that he was actually led away from the topic by the domineering Zhu Ying. Seeing that her eyes were even hotter when she looked at him, he hurriedly returned to his words: "I want to ask, will there be any admirers of yours chasing this country place?"

What's this......

Zhu Ying rarely met a man who agreed with her outrageous behavior - and this man was also the "fiancé" that her father inexplicably set for her - if she was just pleased with his face when she first met, then now, she feels that he is quite temperamental to herself, both in character and personality.

The only bad thing is that even the people who slander her behind her back will deliberately use their words and deeds to attract her attention in front of her, but Zhang Shou is always like leaving!

Therefore, although she didn't understand why Zhang Shou was suddenly interested in her admirer, she still plugged it bluntly.

"My father was impeached, and my eldest brother is missing, these guys have always sought advantage and avoided harm, and may not think about me. But it's hard to say, there are a lot of idiots like the Lu family's pig's head, after all, as long as they are beauties, they will salivate. In short, you don't have to worry about them, if someone really comes to them, just ignore him! Even if my father is not in a good situation, with my grandmother, they don't dare to do anything!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Ying snorted from her nose: "My grandmother and the Queen Mother are sisters. When the emperor ascended the throne, he was still young, and the queen mother listened to the government, and my grandmother restrained her two uncles and did not allow them to interfere in government affairs. When the emperor got married at the age of fourteen, the queen mother immediately withdrew the curtain and returned to the government. ”

"My father was promoted by Emperor Ruizong, the Empress Dowager was in charge of the army at first, and after the emperor took office in the eighth year of Yongchen, he immediately handed over the military power, and occasionally helped to staff on military affairs. ”

"This time, he suffered a series of defeats in the front, and the emperor personally entrusted him with important tasks, so he was ordered to go out to sit in Datong. I believe in him, he will definitely not be defeated! Xuanfu and the Duke of Chu have a strategy, even if they have enmity, they will never drag each other back at a critical moment!"

Zhang Shou originally felt that the mountain of Zhao Guogong's Mansion was a bit high, but now he felt that this mountain was simply heavenly!

He made up his mind immediately, because he smiled and said: "It's better to be blocked, since these guys are likely to come, then, they can't let them see you, the eldest lady, condescending to a noble lady and living in a dilapidated village." ”

Seeing that Zhu Ying was a little hesitant for a moment, he said sincerely: "You have also seen the situation in this village, I plan to scrape together a sum of money and take advantage of the end of the harvest season to renovate the village......

"That's a good thing! I walked around the village today, and the houses are so dilapidated!"

tentatively proposed a brainless rural renovation plan, seeing that Zhu Ying was full of approval, although Zhang Shou was not sure whether she was purely on the spur of the moment, she still thought it was fun and interesting, or really because she was touched by walking around the village, after a little thought, he changed his words and proposed another relatively pragmatic trivial matter.

"There are not only two clever teenagers in the village, Derpy and Xiao Qi, but since their qualifications are not outstanding, they can only follow me to memorize a few lines of poetry and learn ninety-nine songs. Now that I can be idle in the blink of an eye, I plan to give some rewards and hold a competition for memorizing poems and simple arithmetic, and make a set of clothes for each winner......"

When Aunt Liu, the envoy of the Wu family, brought sweet soup in, what she saw was the scene of Zhang Shou smiling and receiving a small and exquisite brocade box from Zhan Jin's hand. She was plain-mouthed, but at this moment she was nothing, but as if she didn't see anything, she gave the plate of lotus seed sweet soup to Liuyin, and immediately withdrew without saying a word.

But when she entered the kitchen in the front yard and faced Wu, her chatterbox was completely opened.

"The young master and the eldest lady are talking and laughing, and in that box, there may be some kind of love token...... "Xiaofei e-book

Wu Shi was startled, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't chew your tongue." Yingying is humble, and Ah Shou has an idea, so he must have discussed something. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Aunt Liu immediately smiled, and then said with a smile, "All in all, the young master is really a blessing." is such a golden and noble lady, but she has no arrogance with people. Not to mention anything else, how many daughters-in-law are willing to let their mother-in-law call their daughter-in-law by their name before they pass the door? Is it the young master who looks good, really, I have never seen anyone more handsome than the young master in the capital back then......"

Wu was already happy, but when Aunt Liu talked about Zhang Shou's undoubted good appearance, she smiled even brighter.

"In the past, it was only these people in the village who were amazed when they saw Ah Shou, but now I look at Yingying, or other people in Zhao Guogong's Mansion, when they see Ah Shou, which one doesn't look at it twice? ”

At this time, Zhang Shou, who had already taken the brocade box out of the inner courtyard and passed by in front of the kitchen door, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard this.

However, he no longer had the luxury of being able to warn his mother to be cautious about this marriage, with the attitude of the lady of the Zhao Guogong Mansion sending a group of servants to support Zhu Ying to stay here, the Wu family was like someone holding on to his waist, and he would never listen to gossip, including what he said.

But he didn't believe the marriage letter that the eldest lady said. He was curious about his life experience when he first crossed that time, and once took advantage of Wu's absence, he carefully turned the whole family upside down, and he didn't find anything outrageous like a marriage book at all.

And the lady also has an attitude of hiding the text of the marriage book, which shows that this so-called marriage contract is greasy.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shou coughed heavily in front of the kitchen door, and when the door curtain was lifted, Wu appeared in front of him with some embarrassment, and then he said calmly: "Mother, I just talked to ...... Yingying discussed one thing. ”

Seeing that Wu immediately showed a happy smile, he knew that his title to Miss Zhu had pleased her, so he continued to say unhurriedly: "While the busiest harvest season is almost over, I plan to let the people in the village have something to do. Repair the houses in the village, and add some clothes to a few children by the way. But I didn't have any money, so Yingying borrowed me a hundred taels of silver. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu was stunned. The next moment, she immediately dragged the person to the corner of the courtyard, and said angrily: "How can you borrow money from her? You only have a marriage contract, but you are not married yet...... No, even if you are married, your daughter-in-law's dowry is hers, and it is not yours, and you can't move it!

Seeing that Wu snatched the brocade box in his hand, he immediately rushed to the inner courtyard quickly, obviously going to find Miss Zhu to repay the money, the corners of Zhang Shou's mouth slowly turned up, revealing a smile.

He had no intention of beating Miss Zhu's idea, but the Wu family was too tight on him in terms of money, and he didn't have much demand for money before, plus he thought that his family was a landlord at worst, and a little wealth was peace, so he didn't have a very urgent desire to make money, and he wasn't even very keen on getting ahead.

In his previous life, he changed from the rich second generation to the poor generation and then to the rich generation, and the price he could pay was extremely high.

Of course, everything is different now, and Xiaofu has to have capital, right?

Zhang Shou waited for the Wu family to return the broken silver in the brocade box to Zhu Ying, and when he came out, he stuffed him with some body that he had accumulated over the years. However, to his surprise, it was a bright figure that rushed out of the hall first. When Zhu Ying walked up to him angrily and stuffed the brocade box into his hand again, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Not to mention that this is not something you borrowed from you, but I want to give it to you myself, even if you ask me to borrow it, it is for the right thing, and not to squander it! Not to mention that my two girls only brought out a hundred taels of silver, even if they brought out one thousand taels and one hundred thousand taels, I will lend it to you! Even my second brother, that bastard, I can lend him money, are you still not as good as him?"

Speaking of this, Miss Zhu's chest rose and fell violently, obviously very emotional: "Your mother is worried that it is her business, if you are long-winded, you will look down on me Zhu Ying!"

Zhang Shou looked at the eyes as hot as her beautiful face with some surprise, and was finally relieved.

Also, playing tricks with this eldest lady, I always feel a little sorry for her.

He took the brocade box, then nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll be disrespectful." Tomorrow I am going to gather the elders of the village to discuss some matters, can you come together? Because there is something I need your help with. ”
