Chapter Fifty-Three: Chicken Feathers
"What? Well done! Mrs. Zhang didn't let in the slightest, picked up an overturned chair casually, sat down upright, simply folded her right leg on top of her left leg, and lifted Erlang's legs.
I saw half of the dark green embroidered shoes embroidered with red peonies, swaying around in mid-air, shaking the skirt of the horse-faced skirt and floating around.
Zhang Zhifu looked at his wife's appearance, couldn't help sighing, lowered his head and picked up the half cup of tea that had already survived the cold, took a sip, and asked, "Who do you want Wen Juan to marry?" ”
"Marry whom?" Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows and said impatiently: "Just talking about Wen Mao, and saying that I didn't teach my children well, and now I'm talking about Wen Juan's marriage, what are you talking about?" ”
"Humph!" Governor Zhang sneered and said, "You answer first, who do you want Wen Juan to marry?" ”
Mrs. Zhang finally pressed her temperament and said, "Didn't you say it before, I think Ning Junwu, who is running an errand in Suzhou now, is good." After all, he is the grandson of Prince Min, although he is ranked a little lower than twenty-six, but the saints of the family are Zhenglong, and they are all counted among the sons and daughters of the nobles. and a person who is willing to do business, unlike those gentlemen, who fight cocks and run horses all day long......"
Seeing that his wife had entered the mode of tirade, Governor Zhang rubbed his temples helplessly: "Stop, stop, I know this." Do you really don't know or don't know, Ning Junwu is so hot in the capital, the county lord of Anning and the county lord of Yongchang are about to fight, but everyone who treats guests does not dare to invite the two of them to be present at the same time. ”
"Oh? Is there such a thing? What does that mean by Brother Jun? Which does he prefer? Or is it someone else? Hearing the gossip in the capital, Mrs. Zhang almost forgot about the quarrel.
"Brother Jun, is that your name?" Governor Zhang frowned: "Anyway, don't think about this person." I understand what you mean, you just want Wen Juan to marry a high-ranking child, and become a young grandmother when she enters the door, and it's best to have another fate, right? ”
"Of course." Mrs. Zhang took a predominantly posture: "Raise your head to marry a woman, bow your head to marry a woman." The girl's family, of course, is going to get married. Now you are the prefect, in charge of a large part of Xuannan. The concubine of our family, marrying into the prince's mansion, is not too high. ”
"Since you want Wen Juan to marry into a high-ranking family, then you have to be raised according to the rules of a high-ranking family!" Governor Zhang was heartbroken, and knocked on the table hard, so that the lid of the teacup shook and rang loudly: "High door!" Big! Why do the big families always have to be put together?! But all the families that have some foundation are large in population, and they have great businesses. ”
"That's right, that's the kind of person that's good." Mrs. Zhang was very ignorant.
"Man, mouth, many, many!" Governor Zhang's mansion is one head and two big, why is this lady so incompetent?! No wonder her daughter is also unhappy. If you want to blame this thing, you can only go up and blame your own father, how did you find such a daughter-in-law for yourself in the first place!
"Everyone's inner house, is life so easy?" Governor Zhang sneered: "I only have three or five concubines in the room, and you have to calculate and calculate all day long, arguing and scolding." ”
"Do you know how many concubines Prince Min has? How did his seven sons, twenty-four daughters, thirty grandchildren, and fifty granddaughters come to be? Why are there so many more daughters than sons and granddaughters than grandchildren? ”
"Such a person, Wen Juan's brainlessness, even if she can really marry in, she will be gnawed to scum in less than two years.5./books/19/19486/
Strong pet, Your Highness is a wolf! Governor Zhang snorted coldly again: "If you want to marry your daughter into the high gate, do you want your daughter to be good, or do you want to kill her?" ”
"No, not as powerful as you say." Mrs. Zhang is still stubborn: "My father's official position is not low, there are only my mother and two old aunts in the family, I think it's pretty good." ”
"Yes, it's very good," Governor Zhang sneered: "But why don't you mention that before Lao Taishan was released, hundreds of people from a large family lived together?" You don't know that you married me at the beginning, wasn't it because of your third sister? You were so angry that you cried faint on the day you got married, and your eyes were swollen like green apricots, which made my mother very unhappy. ”
"......" Mrs. Zhang finally fell silent, and all the things that were back then gradually came to mind.
Mrs. Zhang's maiden family is a family with deep roots, and there is the glory of a family of five jinshi. Back then, Governor Zhang was just a poor talent, and he was originally said to the third sister who came out.
As a result, the third sister was quite scheming and made a game, so that Mrs. Zhang and Governor Zhang's 'chance encounter', but this 'chance encounter' was also bumped into by the third sister herself. The third sister, the initiator, cried endlessly for this, and in the end, under the negotiation of many parties, Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to marry, which was a lifelong hate.
Although the poor Xiucai was later promoted to the middle jinshi, and with the support of the Yue family, she developed into the prefect of Zhang, but Mrs. Zhang still thought about it, and she didn't want her daughter to follow in her footsteps and suffer this kind of hardship from low to high, so she was bent on letting Zhang Wenjuan marry high.
"I told you two about Yingsleeve before," Governor Zhang didn't relent: "Don't mess with the eldest girl of the Xia family." That guy is not easy to mess with! ”
"Yingsleeve is just a maid, rub it round and flatten it and follow us, it doesn't matter. Since I have suffered a loss, I just took this opportunity to take a little longer. But Wenjuan listens to me as a father? ”
"Let her not provoke, she wants to provoke! Who does she think she is? Why can you walk sideways? Governor Zhang sneered: "So the **** came back crying and making trouble, and I didn't pay attention to her." Just let her think about it, just by putting her identity to be hard, it won't work! ”
"What's not going to work," this time Mrs. Zhang stopped doing it: "It's not because you, the father, are incompetent!" If this matter is reversed, the girl of the Xia family will be shaved in the ear, that Xia He Mountain, I promise to bring a bunch of Ziqiu Ba and smash the house of the person who did it! ”
"It turns out that you also know that there is a group of Ziqiu Ba under the hands of others," Governor Zhang argued while protecting his beard with both hands, for fear that his wife would pull it again in anger: "Do I have it?" The martial arts here in Suzhou are too strong, and it depends on who has a hard fist when there is something. The big girls who are not married have a dispute, and they all have an appointment to fight! ”
"And it's a big deal, what's in it for us? If you have the heart to marry Wen Juan to the capital, think about this reputation. Who wants to marry? ”
What the? Ever had a big dispute because of a few ear scrapers? Why was he beaten? Because she sarcastically missed her brother for the girl Xiao. Is this her to handle? Did you fight back? Is it the two sides torn apart? Are the clothes okay? ……
The power of gossip must not be underestimated.
What's more, if things get into trouble, I'm afraid that Zhang Wenjuan's once ruffian was slighted will also be exposed.
"Alas," Mrs. Zhang leaned back in her chair weakly, "It's all because Wen Juan is young and ignorant." I just didn't say anything at the time. After waiting for a while, the ruffian was dead, and his bones were gnawed away by wild dogs, so he was not afraid of anyone. ”
Obviously, Tang Sanye's affairs still need the help of people, including Xia Xiaodong, to keep it secret, and it is indeed too ignorant to get along with Xia Xiaodong at that time.
Wrong...... Mrs. Zhang remembered that it was because Wen Mao secretly followed the past, which made Zhang Wenjuan angry. Why are you talking about crooked buildings?
Talking about this for a while, talking about that for a while, Governor Zhang's husband and wife quarreled, and it was probably like this.
"Why did you suddenly say that you wanted to marry Xia Xiaodong for Wen Mao? How did it come to Wen Juan's head. Mrs. Zhang and her husband quarreled back and forth, and they no longer had the strength to pounce on and pull their beards: "Xia Xiaodong is by no means a good match, I will not agree." ”
