Chapter Twenty-Six: The Appeal

Biyu from Cixi Courtyard came to the courtyard and saluted to Cheng's and said, "Hello Fourth Lady, I just came from the old lady, and the old lady called you and the fourth lady to go, saying that there are some things to discuss." ”

Cheng looked at Zhang Weiwen on the side, Jinyu took Cheng's hand and said, "It must be the ancestor who misses us." Cheng touched Jinyu's head and said to Biyu, "Let's go with the girl." ”

After a while, the three of them arrived at Cixi Courtyard, sitting in front of the hall at this time, and when they saw Cheng coming in, a trace of unhappiness flashed in their eyes, but they still stepped forward to say hello.

"Tonight, I called you here so that my outspoken daughter-in-law could breathe this out." Cheng glanced at Xue, not knowing why.

"Fourth brother and sister, it's true that I was too busy some time ago, you see it's really sorry to bring unclean people to your yard." Xue's words were a little low, and Cheng said, "Sister-in-law, don't be worried, you have a lot of affairs, and it is normal for people to take care of them." ”

Xue's face was pale, and everyone present thought that Cheng was satirizing Xue, but Jinyu knew that his mother didn't have so many twists and turns, just telling the truth, but it was often this case, which was the most infuriating, and Jinyu was secretly helpless.

"That's what my brother and sister said." Xue said, the old lady in the hall said at this time, "There is no one around Weiwen, and it looks good for Xue to send those few people, but the girl named Hongluan broke a pot of soup, so she simply didn't choose from those two people, and looked for a literate and hyphenated person another day, and the most important thing is to serve the good masters." ”

Cheng had nothing to say about this, Jinyu clenched her hands, the old lady was like this in her previous life, she seemed to be selfless, but in fact it was just for the men in the family, those daughters-in-law, granddaughters, or whatnot, in the end they were not as good as grandchildren, uncles, and relatives.

In the previous life, Zhang Weiwen did not achieve fame, so he was not favored in front of the old lady, but in this life, Zhang Weiwen became Xie Yuanlang, and the treatment was naturally different, so he naturally had to send some girls to establish a relationship with this grandson.

"Ancestor, tomorrow I will tell your grandmother what she said, are you looking forward to it?" Jinyu said, her soft and glutinous voice breaking the silence of the room.

"Okay." The old lady narrowed her eyes, like a Maitreya Buddha, but Jinyu saw the essence of those kind eyes.

Jinyu looked at Cheng, Cheng clenched his hands, and said slowly, "The lesson of the old lady is that I have known since I was a child that the men in this family have three wives and four concubines. ”

"This is also human nature, it has been like this since ancient times, and younger siblings don't have to mind." Xue said, she smiled and looked at Cheng's increasingly solemn face.

"However, I have sworn since I was a child that my husband can only have me alone, and nothing else can do it." Jinyu froze in place.

In the same way, in the previous life, the Cheng family was promoted as a noble concubine, but in front of everyone in the Zhang family, he poured hot tea on Su Rou's face, but was blocked by his father on the side.

Daddy slapped his mother with his backhand at that time, and his mother never said a word to his father since then

The old lady and the Xue family didn't seem to expect the Cheng family to say this, and they were suddenly shocked in place, and the old Tianjun said with a blank face, "Are you really so stubborn?" ”

"How can you not be true of what you have said?" Cheng said word by word, and the old man left angrily.

"Rude village woman!"

Cheng lowered his head and didn't speak, and Xue said on the side, "Fourth brother and sister, why are you so confused?" The ancestor seems to be kind, but he can't tolerate any disobedience. ”

The Xue family had a little sympathy in his heart, this old lady had also rewarded Zhang Erye with a lot of girls, and this old ancestor liked to control his grandchildren.

Jinyu looked at Cheng's back, and didn't know why she had a deep sense of powerlessness, how many words she said to her mother openly and secretly, but she didn't say a word.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.

Perhaps, Zhang Jinyu can't change anything.

She couldn't help but think of what happened to her mother in her previous life, Zhangfu, a family full of self-proclaimed scholars, naturally didn't treat a daughter-in-law who didn't know a single big word, first Su Rou, and then a few maids, and the man who used to belong to her alone never gave her any warmth.

So, the mother died depressed in loneliness and loneliness, or died at the right time in someone's conspiracy.

Jinyu clenched her hand and looked at Cheng's somewhat erratic back.

When Cheng went back, there was nothing unusual, but he didn't say much, looking at Zhang Weiwen, there was an inexplicable voice in his beautiful glasses.

"Grandmother, what did she say to you?" Zhang Weiwen asked, looking at Cheng's somewhat pale face, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"The old lady said that she would give you a concubine." Cheng looked at Zhang Weiwen lightly, as if she wanted to find some clues from his face, but all she saw was Zhang Weiwen's surprised expression.

"Did you say yes?" Zhang Weiwen asked.

"How is that possible? When I married you, I said that you can only have one wife. ”

"Madame thinks best, I have no intention of taking a concubine." Zhang Weiwen breathed a sigh of relief, his face softened, he put his hand on Cheng's shoulder, and looked at her beautiful face.

"And what about after that?" Cheng asked, his tone a little unforgiving.

"If there is no future, I will not take a concubine, don't worry, madam." Zhang Weiwen said a little tiredly.

Zhang Weiwen thought that she would say something that women are used to saying, or not at all, but he didn't expect her to say it.

"I know, I'm not worthy of you anymore."

"Although I am very happy that my husband can be admitted, I am afraid that after my husband is admitted, he will dislike me, a village woman who can't read a single word."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm telling the truth!"

"I'm not that kind of person? Wan'er, you trust me. Zhang Weiwen tried to stabilize Cheng's feelings.

"Don't you understand? The woman in the world likes her husband to take a concubine, and she is also a concubine who everyone wants, everyone thinks that I am not worthy of you, but I am unwilling, I am unwilling, let you give you to other women, husband, can you teach me to write? ”

Zhang Weiwen looked at Cheng, and a strange emotion surged in his chest, he said.

"Okay."

Jinyu had a dream, she dreamed that she was in a dilapidated house, grabbing the dirty snow at the door and putting it in her mouth, because she was so hungry, so she kept eating, and it turned out to be colder, and when she got cold, she was hungry, and when she was hungry, she was even colder.

Finally she bit off a piece of flesh from her arm and closed her eyes.

Zhang Jinyu is dead.
