Chapter 73: Consent
In the end, Qiao Cong'an and the Yang family accompanied Xing Zishu to meet Mrs. Zhang, in the face of this sudden family matter, not to mention the Xing family, even Qiao Cong'an felt a little unbelievable, but if Mrs. Zhang wanted to do it, it was impossible to say why, it could only be that she had taken a fancy to Xing Zishu.
For Mrs. Zhang, she deliberately wanted her son to marry as soon as possible before the year, and at first Mrs. Zhang liked Chu Yiyao, but as soon as these things happened to the Chu family, Mrs. Zhang felt that this eldest lady of the Chu family was by no means a person who was willing to stay behind her son's back and teach her son, not that Chu Yiyao was not good, but only that it was not suitable for her son, so Mrs. Zhang went around and began to look for a suitable one.
But his son has never heard of who he likes since he was a child, who he mentioned, and he didn't see him get closer to any girl's house, Mrs. Zhang also had a headache, so she simply asked Zhang Ziling directly during the New Year, and Zhang Ziling mentioned Xing Zishu.
Mrs. Zhang also considered the gap between the two families at first, although it was not bad money, but this marriage also had to be a good match, even if it was worse than the Zhang family, it would not be so bad, but her son had mentioned such a name for so many years, Mrs. Zhang carefully considered it and inquired in many ways, and finally invited a matchmaker to come and say goodbye.
Xing Zishu was still a little surprised by the reason Mrs. Zhang said, so Mrs. Zhang asked the maid to take Xing Zishu out for a walk to discuss the marriage with the Yang family.
I don't know if the maid did it on purpose, Xing Zishu walked around Zhang's house for a while, and when she passed through the corridor, she met Zhang Ziling, who had not yet gone to Luoyang, and when she was nervous, Xing Zishu stood there and didn't know what to do.
She never thought that she would marry someone like the Zhang family, just like when she met Cheng Shaopeng, although she was attracted and sprouted, she was still very clear about the gap between them, what should not be climbed cannot be delusional, and peace of mind is more important than anything else.
"Miss Xing." It was Zhang Ziling's voice that came out first, it was cold, and he said politely to Xing Zishu.
"Zhang Gongzi." Xing Zishu raised her eyes to look at him, but she still mustered up her courage, and it was better to guess by herself than to ask it herself, "I have a question I want to ask you." ”
"Miss Xing, please speak."
"Gongzi Zhang, why did you mention to Mrs. Zhang that you want to marry me." Xing Zishu's face was already flushed after she finished speaking, she tightly pulled the handkerchief in her hand, trying to keep herself from lowering her head to dodge.
"I didn't mention to my mother that I wanted to marry you." Zhang Ziling paused, as if thinking about what to say, and then said, "But when my mother asked me, I thought of you." ”
A look of astonishment flashed on Xing Zishu's face, and she couldn't understand his words, Zhang Ziling coughed lightly and explained, "If my mother didn't mention it, I wouldn't have thought of you." ”
Xing Zishu nodded, there was not much disappointment in her heart, the two of them had met twice and said no more than ten words, and her impression of him was also very weak.
"If Miss Xing has a heart, then Ziling will not force it." At the end, Zhang Ziling added another sentence, Xing Zishu was slightly stunned and shook her head.
"If Miss Xing doesn't hate Ziling, then this marriage can be done, my father and mother are easy-going people, and they don't have any disciple opinions, Ziling will be good to you if she marries you." Zhang Ziling couldn't say why, he just felt that Xing Zishu in front of him made him feel very comfortable, just like when she jumped off the pond to save her, she only said thank you to him, didn't cry or make trouble, and left quietly to change clothes, that feeling he didn't hate.
Since you're going to get married, shouldn't you find someone you don't hate together?
This kind of answer Xing Zishu can still accept a little, it is closer to her understanding of this marriage in her heart, and no matter how deep Zhang Ziling's feelings are for her, the Zhang family's move is full of sincerity, after going back, Xing Zishu thought about it for two days and agreed to this marriage.
Mrs. Zhang was anxious to let her son get married, but Zhang Ziling hurried back to Luoyang, and Mrs. Zhang asked him to come back in the summer to get married, and the date was set for early July.
Said that the marriage was later than Xing Ziyu, and the marriage was indeed earlier than Xing Ziyu, and after the Yang family wrote a letter back to Huizhou, he began to be busy helping the two children prepare for marriage.
There is nothing to hide about such a happy event, the neighborhood is spreading quickly, this niece of the Xing steward is about to fly on the branches, and the girl from the countryside can still marry into the Zhang family.
The news soon reached Xiao's ears, her daughter's marriage has not yet been settled, and the golden beetle son-in-law in her original photo is about to get married! married the girl she rescued at the beginning, Chu Yiyao's cousin.
This is the same to be saved, why did the Zhang family marry, the Wang family refused to marry, and said this about his daughter in the wedding year of the second young master of the Wang family, this comparison, Xiao felt that his child had been wronged too much.
Xiao thinks so, naturally there are people who have good things to say, this Zhang family married a rescued girl, it is a good marriage, then the third young master of the Wang family should also marry the rescued girl, good things come in pairs.
But where is the door of the Wang family so easy to enter, Mrs. Wang later learned about the trouble at the wedding, not only did she blame her son, but felt that he did a good job, when will it be their Wang family's turn to calculate someone like Xiao.
What the outside said Mrs. Wang would not pay attention to at all, she would be busy preparing the best food for her new daughter-in-law, and Qin Manqiu, who had only been married into the Wang family for two months, was pregnant.
Chu Yiyao was also very happy when she learned the news, and hurriedly asked Qian's mother to prepare a congratulatory gift to send over, afraid that Qin Manqiu would be easy to get tired when she saw a guest, and planned to go to Wang's house to see her after March.
"Miss, this Miss Qin has a body when she gets married, and your marriage has not yet been decided." Mother Qian was happy for Miss Qin's family on the one hand, but she was also worried about her own young lady's marriage, and the young grandmother and the eldest lady seemed to have forgotten about it, and no one mentioned it.
"Nurse, can you say something happy, I think if you don't send a pair of past, you can use it for both boys and girls." Chu Yiyao compared the gold jewelry in her hand, she had already started thinking about these before she was born.
"Why isn't this young lady's marriage a happy thing, my eldest lady, you just listen to the nurse's advice!" Mother Qian felt that if she continued like this, she would first have to be angry with the eldest lady, and she didn't have the face to see Mrs.
"Nurse, I didn't disobey your advice, but you see, no one came to tell my sister-in-law that she wanted to kiss me, not one, it's not that I don't want to marry, it's that no one wants to marry me, nurse, don't talk about me." Chu Yiyao was rude, and she didn't see anyone come to her door to say goodbye, and she didn't stop anyone.
Mother Qian's words were stopped, and the young lady ran all day long to run the strength of the business house and the shop, who dared to come to the door to say kiss after hearing it, everyone felt that they couldn't hold back, and there was no beautiful appearance of everyone, who dared to marry home.
"I also have to prepare for my cousin, peacock, you go out with me." While Qian's mother hadn't figured out how to educate her, Chu Yiyao hurriedly took the peacock out.
The peacock looked at his young lady with a look of palpitation, "Miss, Mother Qian is all for your good." ”
"It's for my own good, I can't stay any longer." Chu Yiyao pursed her lips and looked out of the carriage window, knowing that it was all for her good, so she couldn't refute half a sentence, she couldn't afford to provoke it, couldn't she hide.
Peacock sometimes thinks that his young lady is mature like the old man and lady, especially in the business house, and the group of unconvinced stewards to the town are more powerful than the eldest young master, but sometimes I feel that the young lady is just a child who has not grown up, and she is a scoundrel who does not fall behind, and those new little girls can worship the young lady very much.
"Stop!" The peacock was distracted, and suddenly heard Chu Yiyao shouting to stop, Ah Chuan pulled the reins, the carriage suddenly stopped, Chu Yiyao directly opened the curtain and walked out of the car, and hurried towards a small alley.
"Ah Chuan, you are waiting here." The peacock quickly got out of the carriage and chased in the direction of Chu Yiyao, walked through several alleys, and several dilapidated bungalows appeared in front of her, and the peacock saw the eldest lady who stopped in front of her, hurried up, and was about to speak, and followed the eldest lady's line of sight to see the second young master who had not been seen for a long time.
The dilapidated house didn't even have a door, the windows were in tatters, and the floor was covered with thick straw, and there were a few quilts on the straw, and the second young master sat on it, holding a woman in his arms, and the woman was covered with a quilt, and the second young master was holding a bowl in his hand, holding a spoon and lowering his head to feed the woman porridge, and the sight didn't know what the woman looked like.
The peacock looked back at the eldest lady, and suddenly found that the eldest lady was crying, the eldest lady looked at the second young master fixedly, the peacock quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her, the second young master in the room put down the bowl and seemed to be ready to come out, the eldest lady pulled her and quickly hid to the side, through the gap, the peacock saw that the second young master covered the woman's quilt, and took a broken mat to cover the door, and walked out of the house directly, and did not find them.
From a distance of a few meters, the peacock followed the eldest lady and quietly followed the second young master, the second young master seemed to be very tired, and he lost a lot of weight from the back, but he didn't notice them following behind.
The peacock saw that the eldest lady had been crying.
They followed the second young master to the edge of a dock, the peacock saw that the second young master went to a foreman to get a sign, and then went to the shed on the other side to pick up a big sack, the second young master's hunched back obviously sank down, the person in charge of holding the bag on the side didn't know what to say, the second young master took two steps with the bag on his back, and the man added another bag to him.
The second young master's whole body seemed to be crushed, and he walked towards the boat on the other side with heavy steps, and the peacock saw the second young master stumbling and about to fall down several times, but he still carried it onto the boat, and after putting down the sack, he came back to the place where he took the sign and remembered it and then went to carry the sack.
The eldest lady beside her couldn't cry, the peacock supported the eldest lady who slowly squatted down, and her eyes were wet, many people said that the young lady was ruthless, including the mothers and maids in the yard of the second young master, as well as many people in the Chu family, all said that the eldest lady ruthlessly drove away the second young master, regardless of family affection, but none of them knew that the young lady was the saddest person, more sad than any of them, a few times she kept vigil, the young lady would shout the second young master in her dreams, shouting that the second young master would come.
"Let's go." Chu Yiyao stood up, let the tears fall and didn't wipe it, the peacock wanted to say something but was stopped by her, Chu Yiyao didn't look at the figure on the small pier again, but took the peacock back to the broken house just now.
Pulling open the covered mat, Chu Yiyao walked in, the person lying in the quilt was alarmed, the mandarin duck suddenly came out of the quilt, looked at her and the peacock nervously, and dragged the quilt to cover her body, her face full of fear.
"Go away, you go away, don't come near me, you go away, go away!" The mandarin duck kept screaming at Chu Yiyao, and he didn't care if his hair was messy, it was not enough to wrap a quilt tightly, he kept shrinking into the corner, picking up those straws and throwing them at her.
"You don't remember me?" Chu Yiyao saw the bruise under her neck and wanted to reach out to pull her, but the mandarin duck directly stretched out his head and bit her hand.
"Miss!" The peacock was about to catch the mandarin duck, but the mandarin duck quickly loosened his mouth and hid back, grinning at Chu Yiyao, laughing hehe, wiping his nose indifferently, pulling up the quilt and continuing to hide.
Chu Yiyao forgot the pain in her hands, looked at everything in the room in a daze, and then looked at the woman in the corner who was counting her fingers with her head down.
Mandarin ducks, she's crazy.
