406 Picking the Stars (2)

Early in the morning, several hosts of the Zhang Mansion had breakfast together. For the sake of filial piety to the old lady. Mrs. Zhang once again violated the biological clock to get up early, so her spirit was not very good, and the knife and fork cut an ordinary piece of bread, and the white porcelain plate should be ringing.

Uncle Zhang's family is getting busier and busier with work, so he must replenish enough energy, and he has to eat half a dozen of the big stuffed buns, although he is still unsatisfied, but he also tries to restrain himself.

The recipes of Mr. Zhang and his granddaughter Zhang Meixi are the same, a bowl of clear porridge, two side dishes mixed with sesame oil, and a steamed bun with the flavor of his hometown.

Shandong is probably the most legislatively important province in the whole of China, and the emphasis is on women not being at the table. This rule is not in Lao Zhang's family. Another rule is "eat without saying anything", and the old Zhang family is also open-minded and calculating.

Mrs. Zhang ate a few mouthfuls of porridge, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and said:

"How was the play you watched yesterday?"

Zhang Meixi put down the spoon and replied respectfully:

"Okay."

Old lady Zhang's sharp eyes swept over the Zhang family.

The old Zhang family originally didn't care about what Zhang Meixi could do, the girl's family, as long as she was safe and happy. The old Zhang family didn't even care what kind of son-in-law they were looking for, as long as they were healthy. Although she is thin, Mrs. Zhang feels that she can still live for one or twenty years, and it is no problem for Uncle Zhang to live for twenty or thirty years.

The plan of their father and son is to help Zhang Meixi's next generation grow up. But now Zhang Meixi has come out to the point where manpower can't imagine, and everything has suddenly become complicated.

Although there is no specific conflict, it is not particularly clear who is the master of the old Zhang family.

Uncle Zhang had already communicated with his wife last night, and he felt that since his daughter had already made a fortune to the point of earth-shattering, she should not be treated as a little girl, and it should be nothing to discuss marriage publicly.

Uncle Zhang coughed lightly:

"Young people, it's good to know more friends, the young master of the Wang family is an innocent child, and it's always not wrong to have more contacts in the future."

Mrs. Zhang was not satisfied with her husband's words, so she hanged herself on the first tree, and she was too unwilling. She hurriedly rounded the field and said:

"Xi'er is good no matter what, but she doesn't like to socialize. It's time to make more friends in the future, don't be restrained by the Wang family's Li family, it's good to be a young man, the one we saw last time in an international hotel, a foreigner with a little old man, is definitely not good. ”

She said that the physicist Wolfe, although Wolf is also black-haired and black-eyed, his facial features are a little round, and his sideburns are too bald, just like a lamb with two horns.

Zhang Meixi smiled:

"Dr. Wolf is only 26 years old!"

Mrs. Zhang laughed dryly:

"That's it, that's why I said him, little old man!"

Mrs. Zhang spoke very firmly:

"There's nothing wrong with young people going out to play more, it's the Republic of China now, it's just the same, it's not good for foreigners."

Zhang Meixi said with a smile:

"Yes, I still have to go out to play at night, and my classmate Ling Guo sent me a post to go to her house to enjoy the stars!"

Mrs. Zhang clapped her hands:

"Then you go, today is the best time to see the stars. It's also good for the little girl to play more at home, and see how people choose. ”

The seventh day of the seventh month of July, the beggar festival, comes from the myth and legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and will evolve into the Valentine's Day in the East, which corresponds to February 14 in the West a hundred years later.

However, in the era of the Republic of China and the days before the Republic of China, the seventh day of the seventh month was a day for the ladies of the boudoir to gather together to have fun.

Zhang Meixi immediately agreed respectfully. After breakfast, I went out by car as usual.

Mrs. Zhang finished breakfast, yawned and went back to her bedroom to rest, when a henchman came to report:

"That Mrs. Zhu called, saying that she invited the eldest lady to play at the Wang family, there are a lot of young ladies in the Wang family's generation, and they are gathered together tonight for the begging festival!"

Mrs. Zhang sat in front of the dresser and was silent for a while before she said:

"I'm still in a hurry, I'm going to make another appointment today?"

The maid laughed with her:

"Our eldest lady's character, as long as you have seen it, how can you not be in a hurry? Besides, it's a coincidence, today is the seventh day of July, and it is the Daughter's Day that only comes once a year. Mrs. Zhu said that she would send Miss Wang's post in a moment. ”

Mrs. Zhang was undecided, and was silent for a while:

"Just ease it down a little, and you can see better that the character comes there, and the woman's family always has to be pinched. When you go back to Mrs. Zhu, you say it's too coincidental. The eldest lady has already agreed to her classmates. ”

The maid saluted, retreated and shook the phone to reply to Mrs. Zhu.

Mrs. Zhu also felt that the days were too rushed, and the Zhang family's reply was also very reasonable, so she discussed with another matchmaker, Mrs. Wang, and said:

"In the woman's house, she always has to take a bigger one to make it look expensive, and it is also reasonable to invite Miss Zhang tonight. It's just that the next time is critical, what to take. Let you second young master also think about it, they are young people, and they have a common language! ”

Mrs. Wang said:

"What else could there be? Watching a play, watching a movie, and then another is going to the park. Eat food in the red house, and drink tea in the spring breeze building. ”

Mrs. Zhu smiled:

"Then you can go and ask the second young master."

When the second young master Wang was questioned by his aunt, Mrs. Wang, he was discussing some major social issues with the eldest young master. Marriage is also a big deal, and he is a little unhappy:

"Actually, the Tangram is the best, and it just takes a look at Miss Zhang's talent, since she won't come today. Then you have to think about a new one, do you say it's better to listen to a piano recital, or go to an art exhibition? In a few days, there will be an exhibition of paintings by the Ningbo Association. ”

Young Master Wang smiled:

"If you want to investigate other people's talents, it's also the right way of thinking, but the day before yesterday I watched the play, but the second half was very deserted, and I don't know if that Miss Zhang has taken a fancy to you!"

He pursued that Miss Wan himself, but he had clearly declared it a failure.

Second Young Master Wang looked incredulous:

"Can't fancy me? How can it be? ”

The second young master Wang is dignified, and he is from a big family, he is not pedantic or rigid, he can socialize a few words on various occasions, and he also has a few younger sisters in the family, and he knows the psychology of the ladies.

Young Master Wang smiled:

"Anyway, the beggar festival has already declined, and you only have one chance now. You can find a random excuse to ask again, but if her family has a heart, she will definitely reply immediately. If you refuse again, it will basically go to ninety percent out of ten. ”

Although the second young master Wang firmly believed that he could not be rejected, if he wanted to refuse, he would have to refuse you, so he immediately decided to invite Miss Zhang to see the exhibition in a few days, and asked Mrs. Wang to convey it.

Because of the popularity of the Republic of China era, upper-class people generally called to deliver news. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhu have discussed, and Mrs. Zhang has called several times, so it is better to visit this time.

The two of them took a car to Zhang's mansion and were immediately shocked by the security team lined up at the door.
