Chapter 102: Exchange
Saitama had already learned the news from the maid's mouth that she was going to marry the Guogong Mansion, and unlike Qiushuang and Qiuyan's anxiousness, her heart was unusually calm at the moment.
On the one hand, she knew that it would be difficult to prevent the old woman from happening alone, and that this stalemate was meaningless.
On the other hand, she felt that it was all hopeless anyway, it would happen sooner or later, and the meeting with Li Yi that day deepened the fear in her heart, she was afraid that she would do something crazy and bring ruin to the family.
So while Autumn Frost kept going to the little girl to inquire about the news, Saitama took a book and nested on the bed. When it was time to eat, it was the same as usual. Qiu Yan couldn't help but say when she saw it:
"Miss, don't be like this, the old lady can't help anyone if she doesn't agree. Saitama was sandwiching a piece of bamboo shoots and putting it in her mouth, and she chewed it unhurriedly before she said slowly:
"Qiu Yan, what do you think I should do, crying, making trouble, and hanging myself?" When she asked like this, Qiu Yan couldn't answer, some of the second monks were confused, she really couldn't understand such a young lady.
When Saitama was about to go to bed, a little maid suddenly came to pass the word, Zhang Hou, and asked Saitama to go to the study immediately. Saitama smiled bitterly, the time has finally come, and my father is so anxious to send himself out?
Saitama tidied up, stuffed a paper bag in her sleeve, and told Qiu Yan to follow her to Zhang Hou's study.
When Saitama came in, Zhang Hou was reading the newspaper with his hand. It wasn't until Saitama knelt down at his desk that he slowly lifted his head.
"Get up. Then he commanded the others to stand down.
"Father knows that you are a smart child, so I will not beat around the bush and say, when the prince of Qi fought with Beirong, he went deep into the desert, and now there is no news. "Today, the Duchess of Qi Guo came to the door in person, hoping that your family affairs can be advanced, even if it is Chongxi. ”
"Father has already agreed?"
"Yes, there is no harm in this matter. ”
"My daughter didn't understand. ”
"The prince is not here, there is only one man in the Guogong Mansion, don't you understand?" Saitama only then knew that his father readily agreed to the marriage, in addition to the pressure from the Guogong Mansion, it was more about this idea, I don't know what the Wang family knew about his father's thoughts.
"Now that the father has agreed, why do you call his daughter?" Saitama's tone was flat, without the slightest emotion. Zhang Hou said with some embarrassment:
"Your grandmother still has some things to figure out, and my father wants you to persuade her. After all, it's not bad for you. ”
"What if my daughter doesn't want to?"
If the prince returns safely, the grandfather of the country will naturally think of you, if you can't come back, you will be the future duchess of the country, and it will be of great help to our Zhang family. ”
But the daughter just wanted to spend more time with her grandmother. Zhang Hou saw that Saiyu still looked like he didn't eat oil and salt, and he couldn't help but be a little angry.
"Don't forget, you are the daughter of the Zhang family, and now is the time for you to contribute to the family!"
Saitama listened to Zhang Hou's words, and her heart was sad, sure enough, in her father's mind, the Zhang family was the first, and in vain she had fantasized that her father still had a little father-daughter affection for her. Maybe in the eyes of his father, he is just able to exchange goods for various interests for the Zhang family, how can he have any feelings for the goods, and how can he go back and care about whether she is doing well. Saitama smiled self-deprecatingly and said:
"The father said that the daughter can also agree, but the daughter has one condition, and I hope the father can agree. ”
"You actually negotiated conditions with me. Zhang Hou's face turned red with anger. If Saitama was a little ashamed of this before, now she is not guilty at all. Yes, if you don't fight for a little more benefit for yourself at this time, when will you stay?
"That's right, it's actually very simple. Saitama was as calm as ever. Zhang Hou realized that under the indifferent face of his daughter, his anger looked very ridiculous. So, he also said in a deep voice:
"Tell me about it. ”
"I want Brother Hong to be remembered in my mother's name. Zhang Hou heard that he just wanted to say that the Wang family must refuse, and suddenly found that the mother in Saitama's mouth was his ex-wife Qin.
"Why?"
"My daughter has no brothers and sisters, and Aunt Liang died unexplained, so my daughter wants to give Hong'er a better way. ”
"Shut up, what's not clear?" Zhang Hou was most taboo about these things being brought up again, after all, there were some things that made him suspicious at that time.
"The daughter doesn't believe it, the father will think that the aunt's death is because of Chen's mother, she is just a subordinate, how can she have so much courage to murder her master, what good is it for herself?"
"And the daughter still has evidence. Zhang Hou took a deep breath and said:
"What is it?"
Saitama took the paper bag out of his sleeve pocket and presented it to Zhang Hou. Zhang Hou opened the paper bag and saw that there were some tea-like things inside, so he asked:
"What is this?"
"My daughter doesn't know the name, I only know that this thing comes from the Great Xia Kingdom, it is said that if you smell it for a long time, it will make people have a miscarriage, and if you take it, you will be infertile for life, and it will invade the body with cold poison, which makes people feel painful. Zhang Hou felt as if a basin of cold water had poured himself from head to toe, and he asked in an almost trembling voice:
"You...... Where did you get it from? The corners of Saitama's mouth curled,
"When I went to Beijing, this thing was sewn into Aunt Liang's mattress and mixed into my daughter's tea. ”
"Then you ......"
"Because my nurse Mother Li found out in time, Aunt Liang was able to give birth to Brother Hong smoothly, and I didn't eat this thing. Zhang Hou seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, if Saitama married into the Guogong Mansion but couldn't have children, it would be regrettable.
"Father shouldn't think that a little Mother Chen can talk about the medicine of the Great Xia Kingdom and harm me and Aunt Liang. ”
"How do you know that?"
"Maybe it's because there is a destiny in the dark, when my daughter was in the princess's mansion, I met an aunt who had been to Daxia and happened to know this medicine. ”
"Who else knows about this?"
"The grandmother didn't find out, and the daughter didn't tell anyone else. ”
"Okay, this matter is over, my father promised you to record Hong'er in your mother's name when he turns one year old. You should also go and persuade your grandmother as soon as possible that the affairs of the State Mansion should not be delayed. ”
"Yes, my daughter knows. There is another thing, can Hong'er be raised in the grandmother's room, so that it is safer. After Saitama finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Hou with a little deep meaning. Zhang Hou nodded:
"Okay, don't worry, my father will personally raise Hong'er in the future, which can be regarded as a little compensation for his mother. After getting Zhang Hou's promise, Saitama was also relieved, she knew that Zhang Hou was a person who kept his word, and he promised to take care of Hong'er without any problems.
"Thank you father, daughter retires. Zhang Hougang wanted to say yes, and then remembered something,
"Wait a minute. As he spoke, he stood up, took out a box from the cabinet behind him, took out a piece of paper, and handed it to Saitama.
"You can take this, it can be regarded as a dowry given to you by your father himself. The shop grange is too conspicuous, and this one is good for yourself. Saitama took it and saw that it turned out to be a silver ticket of 10,000 taels of silver, but somehow, she looked at this nose and felt a little sour,
"Thank you father, daughter retires. Saitama also left Zhang Hou's study.
