It is said that Zhang Hou received the post, and he was still very puzzled, and he had the impression that he did not associate with this Zhang from Huzhou. So he went back to the inner house to ask Wang. Wang was secretly happy when he saw it, so he said to Zhang Hou:

"How did the master forget, that day the concubine told the master that Mrs. Yang told Sister Yu about a family matter, talking about her maiden son-in-law, it is said that she was born at a young age, and she looks even more extraordinary, and she is two in the family. I thought it was good, but I didn't dare to specialize. It just so happened that Mrs. Yang sent someone to say that her nephew had come to Shandong, and I decided to let him come to see the master, and the master decided. ”

"Oh, it doesn't hurt to see each other like this. Listening to you say that, this man is not bad. Only this Yu'er was raised by her mother since she was a child, and I am afraid that she will have to ask her mother's idea about this marriage. ”

"That's natural, but whether it's the old lady or us, we all want to find a good kiss for Yu'er, the concubine is thinking that if this child is good, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it, if the old man sees that it is really as good as Mrs. Yang said, I think the old lady will also like it, and it will be okay to settle it." Zhang Hou was still groaning,

"It's just that we are about to return to Beijing, and Yu'er's marriage is set here, in case there is a more suitable one in the capital, wouldn't it ......" Seeing that Zhang Hou was still hesitating, Wang hurriedly said:

"This Zhang Gongzi is already from a rising background, and he must participate in the examination, and he may be able to stay in Beijing when he becomes an official. What's more, Sister Yu always has to marry into an official family, how can anyone who is an official be in one place, and my father can also help. The concubine wants to borrow the power of Lord Yang to report on his work when he returns to Beijing, and if Mrs. Yang does not see it, I am afraid that Mrs. Yang's face will be saved. When Zhang Hou heard this, he readily agreed.

At noon on this day, Mrs. Yang called Yang Xi into the room and instructed:

"Xi'er, tomorrow you will accompany your cousin to the house of Master Zhang, the prefect of the same mansion. ”

"Cousin going to see Master Zhang?" Yang Xi was puzzled.

"That's the case, my mother wants to tell your cousin the eldest lady of the Zhang family, and Master Zhang wants to see people first. Yang Xi heard the words of the eldest lady of the Zhang family, and his ears immediately buzzed, and he couldn't believe his mother's words. Then I heard my mother say,

"Your cousin's temperament, I think you have also understood it in the past few days, when there is anything wrong with his speech, help him to make a circle, so as not to let Master Zhang not treat him. ”

"Then the mother still wants to say such a kiss, this is not a marriage but a feud!" There was an irrepressible anger in Yang Xi's voice, and the Huang family only regarded his son as jealous and hateful, but he didn't care.

"You don't understand this, the eldest lady is not Mrs. Zhang's own child, but Mrs. Xian's. If you don't understand the things in the back house, don't worry about it, my mother knows what to do. Yang Xi really couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, but he couldn't say anything to his mother, so he had to respond hastily and go to his room. recalled that day my cousin had to make amends to himself, and held a banquet in the most famous "Hongfu Building" in the city, and even invited a few girls from Xinghualou to accompany him. Although he was also invited by his classmates to go to this kind of occasion, he was extremely disgusted from the bottom of his heart, and his cousin seemed to be at ease, and even enjoyed it, and at a glance he knew that he was a veteran in the Fengyue field. Mother actually told such a person to her favorite girl, how could she see the girl of the Zhang family jumping into such a fire pit, but she couldn't tell her mother that she wanted to marry Miss Zhang, which would only ruin the reputation of the girl of the Zhang family. After thinking about it, I became more and more irritable, so I simply went out to breathe. So he called the little guy Qingping out of the house, and couldn't help but walk to the vicinity of Zhang's house, Qingping looked at the place where the prince walked, and knew what it was for. So he said:

"People won't go out at this time, what are you doing here, it's better to tell the old lady directly, they have always loved you the most, and they will respond. ”

"What do you know, don't talk nonsense!" Yang Xi suddenly remembered something and asked Qingping:

"Who do you know from the Zhang Mansion?"

"This, let the villain think about it. Qingping thought for a moment and said:

"By the way, Uncle Feng in this concierge is the same villager as the younger one. ”

"It's useless, and it can't be ...... directly"

"Ye doesn't want to find someone directly, I'm afraid it's not suitable. Yang Xi laughed and scolded:

"you, what do you think you do? ”

"Then the little one went to find Uncle Feng and saw when that one came out?"

"Even if it's a maid, a nurse's. ”

"The little ones know. Qingping promised on his lips, but in his heart, he slandered his young master for being so sick and rushing to the doctor. But he didn't dare to slack off under his feet, and walked towards the door of Zhang's mansion. I just saw Feng Si on duty. stepped forward to say hello and say a few words. Speaking of Zhang's house going back to Beijing, Feng Si said:

"yes, I'm still hesitant to follow. The ladies in the house are going to leave a few years ago. ”

"So fast!" said a middle-aged woman from the house. Feng Si hurriedly said:

"Hello Mother Li, go out?"

"Yes, give my eldest lady to Caiyun Pavilion to buy some silk threads. When Qingping heard this, he told Feng Si:

"Fourth uncle, I just remembered that our young master still sent me to do something, I will leave first, and I will invite you to drink when I turn back. Before Feng Si could agree, Qingping ran to the teahouse where Yang Xi was sitting. When he saw it, he hurriedly said, "Young master, young master, I saw that young lady's nurse, and she was about to go out to buy silk thread." Yang Xi hurriedly said:

"Where, take me quickly. So the two hurriedly walked to Caiyun Pavilion. The two walked fast, and after a while, they caught up with Li's mother. Qingping was about to ask Yang Xi if he wanted to come forward and talk to Li's mother, but saw Yang Xi signaling him not to speak, and whispered:

"You see, there's weirdness. Qingping saw that Mother Li was walking and looked back from time to time, as if to see if anyone was following her.

"Young Master, didn't you find us?"

"No, you see somebody over there staring at that mother. Qingping looked in the direction pointed by Yang Xi, and saw a person dressed as a rough mother-in-law staring at Mother Li at the door of Caiyun Pavilion.

"Qingping, find a way to lure that mother-in-law away, I want to find Mother Li to say something. ”

"Ah, young master, I can't do it!"

"Don't be verbose, go quickly. Qingping had to go up, pretending to be careless, and hit the mother-in-law, who was almost knocked down, and immediately scolded. Qingping also wanted to cause trouble, so he also said loudly:

"You old woman, I don't know what to watch, I don't know if someone comes over, and you actually curse!"

"Why don't you look at your walking, it's right to make amends for me. After speaking, he pulled Qingping's shirt. As soon as Qingping struggled to break free, his clothes were torn.

"Pay me for my clothes!" Qingping shouted. The two of them didn't let each other go and quarreled, and gradually the people around them came around. Yang Xi saw that the mother-in-law's vision was blocked, so he hurriedly walked to the opposite Caiyun Pavilion, stood next to Mother Li, and said in a low voice:

"If you don't want your young lady to have anything to do, just come with me. ”
