Chapter 160: Climbing the Dragon and Attaching the Phoenix
"Oh, you said that Cheng Jinzhi is the daughter of that fox girl, this ability to bewitch men is really beyond people's reach. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info first Hanqing, and then Yan Wang, this time there was a Jin King, I don't know who will be next. ”
Standing in front of the window, Zhang stood in front of the window and fiddled with the pot of cyclamen in full bloom, seeing its lush branches and jade pavilions, with a pleasing and pleasant look, it seemed that he was in a good mood.
"She still wants to have one?"
Liu took a shallow sip of the ginseng tea, and unhurriedly stood up from the soft collapse and walked to Zhang's side.
"She wore such a big green hat to His Royal Highness King Yan, and it would be good for her to stop. Besides, in the eyes of outsiders, she is also a member of our Cheng family, and when this spreads, it will inevitably make people say that our master and daughter have no way, and it is also the reputation of our Cheng family that is ruined. ”
Since the last time Cheng Yu and Cheng Xiuning were tied up, the Liu family has a grudge against the Zhang family, and the relationship between the two was originally deliberately estranged.
But in the end, they still live under the same roof, and they don't see each other when they look up, even if they are fighting openly and secretly behind their backs, they still can't lose their harmony on the surface.
Especially in the face of Cheng Jinzhi's position, the two of them have been angry in one nostril for so many years, and now that they finally hear the ugly things about her, they are naturally happy in their hearts, and they hit it off, and they even save polite words.
"But I've also heard that it seems that the prince asked someone to do it behind his back. The eyeliner he sent to the Jin Palace, and Cheng Jinzhi was caught right, if this matter is not good, he will go to His Majesty. ”
Liu said thoughtfully, but saw Zhang snorting coldly and said disdainfully: "This is all said that there is no wind and no waves, if you talk about others, I may still believe that there is a suspicion of being deliberately slandered." But this Cheng Jinzhi has always been a red face and a disaster, she must have seduced the King of Jin and was afraid that her reputation would not be protected, so she caught a scapegoat to wash her name, right?"
"That's it, this Cheng Jinzhi, do you really think that she is Xi Shi Diao Chan, and a man has to bow down under her pomegranate skirt? It was obviously me who wanted to marry His Royal Highness King Yan at the beginning, and she didn't know how to bewitch King Yan, so she robbed me of the position of princess!"
Cheng Xiuning was originally sitting on the side drinking tea sullenly, but when she heard Zhang's words, she couldn't help but flick her sleeves angrily, and grabbed the Confucian skirt on her knees with both hands, and her words were full of unwillingness.
Now the three daughters of the Cheng family, only she is still at home in the boudoir, and there is nowhere to go, but she just looks down on those Houmen embroidery households
The children of the family are bent on being able to be among the royal relatives and fly on the branches to become a phoenix.
After all, only in this way can she have the ability to compete with Cheng Jinzhi, the princess, without having any scruples about her identity, and at the same time, she can also suppress the Zhang family and Cheng Sujin, the mother and daughter who cover the sky with one hand in the Cheng family.
It's just that what makes her and Liu's hearts the most unhappy now is the marriage of Cheng Xuan in front of her.
As the eldest son and grandson of the Cheng family, and now he is accused of marrying the prince's daughter, this is tantamount to wanting to regain a game for his son and pave the way back, so that the Liu family can retreat from the difficulty and dispel the idea of borrowing Cheng Yu to pull Cheng Xuan off the horse as soon as possible.
"Ning'er, after your eldest brother becomes a parent, your marriage should also be opened. After all, your eldest sister and Cheng Jinzhi are both married to women, and you should also find a home to be a good wife and mother. It's just that the position of the princess is probably going to fail. ”
Zhang said with a smile, with a hint of ridicule mixed between his words, which made Cheng Xiuning's face even more ugly, and he could only echo in a displeased tone: "This doesn't bother you, Auntie, I'm really not in a hurry at all." Look at the time when you tried your best to get the eldest sister to marry into the Gu family, but now I see her running home twice in three days, and I don't seem to be very happy. ”
Cheng Xiuning's words were prickly, and Zhang stopped his movements when he said it, the originally pleasant smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and a trace of cold color flashed in his eyes.
And although Liu applauded his daughter's words in his heart, he was still a person who could observe words and feelings, so on the surface, he quickly changed the topic and came up to play a round with a smile.
"By the way, now that Xuan'er's marriage is decided, sister, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I heard that the lord of the Qi family's Lingrong County is like a flower and jade, dignified and dignified, and Xuan'er must be a talented woman, very compatible. ”
"Yes, Xuan'er is not young, and he should have married a wife and had children, and now since King Qi is willing to marry the county lord to our family, it is naturally better, and it is a matter of being a mother for me. ”
Hearing Liu talk about Cheng Xuan's marriage, his words were full of flattery, and Zhang's face gradually eased, and he didn't bother to talk to Cheng Xiuning again.
"But aunt, in the past, when you and your father helped your eldest brother Zhang Luo get married, he either sneaked out and disappeared, or he refused to obey, and every time he had to turn the family upside down, this time, he shouldn't be like before again, right?"
"You don't have to worry about your eldest brother as a sister. ”
Zhang naturally heard the irony from Cheng Xiuning's words, and his face that had just eased down instantly became a lot gloomy, and his tone was cold and hard.
"This time, he was asked to marry the county lord, and in the future, he will become the son-in-law of the prince as a county horse, no matter how he says it, he can be regarded as a prince of a dynasty, and he has the support of the king of Qi behind him, so his status is naturally different from now. He knows how to weigh the pros and cons. ”
However, although Zhang said so, she did not have any confidence in Cheng Xuan's attitude in her heart.
She knows best about her son's temperament, and she can't even pull back ten cows if she is stubborn, otherwise she won't make Cheng Yan so angry that she wants to drive him out of the house again and again.
However, this opportunity is excellent, whether it is for Cheng Xuan's future or for her future status in the Cheng family, she, as a mother, must think of a way to force Cheng Xuan to comply.
Just thinking to himself, Zhang had no intention of enjoying this pot of flowers again, and was about to turn around and walk to the red sandalwood table to drink tea, but saw a maid running into the house in a panic, and when she saw her, she bowed down and spoke in a hurry.
"Madame, it's not good, the eldest young master seems to have quarreled with the master in the study for marriage, go and take a look. ”
"What did you say?"
Hearing the maid's words, Zhang's heart sank suddenly, the two slender willow eyebrows suddenly tightened, and his face was suddenly clouded.
What I was most worried about finally happened.
She glanced at Cheng Xiuning who was covering her mouth and gloating a little beside her, and she didn't care about being angry with her anymore, when she ordered Qiuhua to take a shawl and put it on her body, she hurriedly walked out of the house and walked quickly towards Cheng Yan's study.
