Chapter 36 Break off old feelings
The next afternoon, Zhang Junyu lay on the bed and wanted to take a nap, who wanted to go outside the gongs and drums, he really couldn't sleep, and he couldn't help but get bored, so he sat up, supported his forehead with one hand, and pressed his eyebrows slightly.
The maid was making tea and bringing it in, and when she saw her leaning on the edge of the bed, she didn't seem to be very comfortable, so she hurriedly put down the tea set, walked over quickly, and took a look, "What's wrong with Miss?"
Zhang Junfang withdrew his hand, looked at her clear and clean eyes, and couldn't complain anymore, and smiled happily: "It's okay." Lingyi, you go out and see if there are any guests outside. ”
Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, "Miss, it's not that any guests are here, it's your bride price that has arrived." ”
Outside the Guitang was full of gold, silver, pearls, jade and silk silk, and livestock such as northern sheep and white geese were also implicated with red linen ropes, and the internal official standing in front of the red-clothed matchmaker was heard holding a gift list and reporting aloud: "Sixty taels of gold, ten taels of pearls, six hundred taels of flower and silver, forty horses of silk of various colors, and forty pieces of silk...... Two wooden bullets, four stones of white cooked rice, and two liters of dyed red rice. ”
When Zhang Junfang and Ling Yi walked to the corridor outside the main hall, the matchmaker and the internal official who gave the bride price had already left Zhang's mansion, and the first thing they wanted was all kinds of jewelry and cloth.
The old lady sat on the front seat with a spring breeze on her face, Jin Fu was also smiling, and Zhang Luan was sitting on one side with a straight face as always; The fourth uncle, Zhang Yue, sat on the right side of Zhang Luan in a big coat because of his weak body, and his wife Jin stood beside him; Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling followed behind Jin Fu with a smile, while Zhang Lingshu stood alone on the other side and lowered her head to play with the tips of her hair; As for the Tang family, he naturally stood beside the old lady as usual.
Only saw Lin and Zhang Jingxian standing under the hall, looking at the jewelry in the box with joyful eyes, suddenly took out a crested golden hairpin, put it in his hand with a reluctant look, and after a while, he withdrew his hand and glanced at Zhang Luan secretly, and then looked at Zhang Jingxian, and said with a smile: "This hairpin is beautiful, and it must be very good with my Xian'er."
"Mother, what are these words," Zhang Jingxian pretended to be displeased, "This is the bride price of Sister Yu, it should belong to the second uncle's family, but it doesn't belong to us." ”
Lin frowned, "That's the same," and then smiled sideways at Zhang Luan, "Second brother, so many dowries, it's not an exaggeration to give one to Xian'er." ”
"Let it be," Zhang Luan said before getting up and leaving, Lin Shi looked at Jin Fu again when he saw the situation, "Brother and sister don't have any opinions, right?"
Zhang Junfang had already seen her actions when he walked in the corridor, and he happened to walk to the hall at this time, "How can my mother have opinions, these are my bride price, I am the granddaughter of the Zhang family, my things, naturally also belong to the Zhang family, if the aunt wants to take something, she only needs to inform the account room, why bother so much." ”
When Lin saw Zhang Junfang at this point, his smug expression immediately disappeared, and he said unceremoniously: "Since this is the case, then I won't say anything more."
After saying that, the Lin family glanced at Jin Ji who was standing aside, "Write it down, these are Xian'er's dowries in the future." ”
Although the old lady's eyes can't tolerate the presumptuous younger generations, she has always connived at the Lin family and Zhang Jingxian like this, not to favor them, but the eldest son Zhang Qi has been gone for many years, and she will turn a blind eye to his widow as long as she doesn't do anything deviant.
"Old lady," the family member hurriedly ran in, and broke the deadlock with a loud cry, and the old lady was displeased, "What's the matter, panic!" ”
Seeing that Zhang Junfang was here, the family didn't dare to say it clearly, so he muttered, "There is a guest here." ”
"What kind of guest, scare you like this," Lin said with disdain.
"Yes...... It's the young master of the Tan family. ”
Before the words fell, the young master of the Tan family had already entered the mansion with the family who carried the dowry, and he was very familiar with everything in the mansion, after all, he had also lived here for ten years.
Seeing him come in, not only Zhang Junshu was stunned, but everyone in the house was also full of disbelief, except for Zhang Lingshu who was still bowing his head and playing, only Zhang Jingxian ran over with a smile, "Brother Tan, why are you here?" ”
As if he hadn't heard it, the young master of the Tan family still stared at Zhang Junyu, and his smile made people's hearts sprout, "Zhu'er, I'm here to propose to your father." ”
"Talk about brother!"
Zhang Junfang never dared to face him, and after a long time, he said calmly: "Zhu'er has been designated as the crown princess, and she will marry a wife in a few days, please talk about the son, please go back."
Lin watched from the sidelines for a while, "Yo, it's really lively today, everyone is sending a bride price to our house," Lin pulled back Zhang Jingxian and stepped forward to take a rough look at the dowry in the box, picked up a pearl casually, and looked at it, "This is the night pearl of the South China Sea, it's really a big deal to talk about the young master, but compared to the bride price in the palace, it's nothing." ”
"Okay," the old lady finally couldn't stand it, and was helped by Tang to stand up, "If you have nothing to do, you can all disperse, go back to your room, and go what you should do." ”
The old lady turned around and walked away, and everyone dispersed, leaving Zhang Junfang and the young master of the Tan family standing in the hall.
"The long hair is reserved for the king, the bundle is sent to the king, the eyebrows are drawn in the mirror, and the beauty smiles without asking for anything......"
"I'm sorry."
The young master of the Tan family still looked lonely, turned around and walked to the door dejectedly, and read in his mouth: "High-headed horse, eight sedan chairs, cross the bridge, cross the Zhumen ......"
Seeing his lonely back gradually disappearing, Zhang Junyu couldn't help but blur her eyes, she only hated herself for being useless, hating that she didn't have the courage to walk the world with him.
At that time, Zhang Jingxian's house was already full of porcelain tile fragments, and a whimper came, only to see that the woman was full of tears, and the Lin family dismissed the subordinates and sat aside to comfort them.
"Why! Why is she Zhang Junfang likable everywhere since she was a child, but I am disgusted everywhere, we are all granddaughters of the Zhang family, why did the housemother send her to the palace, why not me! Mother, I'm not reconciled, why, she is already the crown princess, why do you want to talk to me about my brother, why! ”
Seeing his daughter like this, Lin's heart was naturally like a knife, "Xian'er, don't cry anymore, she Zhang Junfang can choose the crown princess is just a blind cat and a dead mouse, as for that Tan Yifeng, what kind of good thing is he, Zhang Junfang's fox embryo will be gone in a few words, even if you marry him in the future, you will have to be angry, why be sad for him." ”
"Mother, I should be the crown princess, I am the eldest granddaughter, the main mother should have sent me into the palace, if it weren't for the family affairs of the Sun family, I'm afraid I would be the one who is in the limelight today!"
"Xian'er," Lin suddenly became serious, "Mother has a way to make you the crown princess." ”
Zhang Jingxian's heart was shocked, staring at the Lin family, with both expectation and disbelief in her eyes.
"Yesterday, Na Nacai asked for Zhang Luan's daughter, our Zhang family only has you and Zhang Junfang of the right age, if she Zhang Junfang is missing. As a son, you can no longer marry into the palace, and the master mother will definitely pass you on to your second uncle, and when the time comes, it will be logical for you, the crown princess. ”
"Mother's meaning..."
There was a sudden sound outside the house, Lin and Zhang Jingxian stood up in shock, Lin looked out of the door, looked back at Zhang Jingxian, and then walked out quickly.
"Mother, I want to eat peaches."
Seeing that it was Zhang Lingshu, Lin had not completely let go of his heart, and said with a smile: "Silly child, where did the peaches come from in this solar term."
"Shu'er is not stupid," Zhang Lingshu compared to Zhen'er, "Mother is stupid," Zhang Jingxian wiped her tears when she heard the sound and walked out, Zhang Lingshu laughed when she saw her, "My sister is also stupid, my sister is the stupidest, and she is stupid and crying." ”
"Good Shu'er," Lin bowed slightly, staring at her clear eyes, "tell Mother, what did you just hear?"
Zhang Lingshu laughed: "Peaches, mother, Shu'er smells peaches, Shu'er wants to eat peaches."
