Qi Shuyu has been hiding in Mrs. Zhang's east room to do needlework.

Hearing Zhang Shaotian's voice, she was overjoyed, but when she heard what he said later, her heart sank again, and the needle accidentally pierced her finger, dripping red blood beads, and dyed the handkerchief she was embroidering red.

She put the punctured finger in her mouth and sucked it, stopping the bleeding, but her heart became even more uncomfortable.

Old Madam Zhang snorted outside, and simply opened the skylight and said brightly, "Fourth, I won't hide it from you, I have already discussed with your eldest brother that I want to hire your cousin as your wife." You are ready to prepare, first make a marriage, and be the groom's official in the second half of the year! ”

Originally, I wanted to ask for his consent, but now that Zhang Shaotian's idea is getting bigger and bigger, many times, without discussing with her and Zhang Shaohong, she will do it on her own, and Mrs. Zhang can't stand it.

She is used to being the Lord.

In the past, the Zhang family had two vice-ministers in the court, but they all listened to her.

When the two of them got out of the court, they had to come to Mrs. Zhang's house to sit down, tell her about the situation in the court, and then listen to her instructions and go back to the court to do business.

As time passed, Mrs. Zhang also had a bit of a "deputy minister" atmosphere.

Besides, she was originally highly knowledgeable, and over the years, under her preparation, the Zhang family has jumped from the last place in the five-phase family to the top two.

If the Xie family does not have Xie Dongliang, after Prime Minister Shen Dacheng retires, it will be the Zhang family who will be on the throne and become the first person in the five-phase family.

Zhang Shaotian is the smartest and most capable of the brothers of the Zhang family.

Mrs. Zhang once had high hopes for him, but she didn't expect this son to be the most promising in everyone's eyes. but exiled himself for a whole decade......

It wasn't until two or three years ago that he returned to the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom from the Western Regions and began to enter the court. started as a seven-rank official, and now it has been promoted to five-grade.

In time, he will definitely become a vice minister and then ascend to the position of prime minister.

Because although his talent is not as good as Xie Dongli, Xie Dongli is too young, and in terms of seniority, after Prime Minister Shen Dacheng retired. It should be someone from the Zhang family who succeeds him as prime minister.

Zhang Shaohong doesn't count on it, if Zhang Shaotian is willing to be a good official, he will be the eldest brother. I'd rather step down from the position of deputy prime minister and let him take over.

But there is one condition, that is, he must marry a wife, otherwise Mrs. Zhang will not worry about letting him sit in such a high position.

Zhang Shaotian was stunned when he heard this. Frowns furrowed. "Wife? Mother, you didn't wake up, did you? When did I say I was going to marry her? ”

"When will it be your turn to marry?" Mrs. Zhang was very angry, patted the table and said majestically: "Marrying a relative requires the life of your parents, and the words of the matchmaker." Your eldest brother and I can call the shots, and you just wait to be the groom's officer! ”

Zhang Shaotian sneered, shook his head and said, "Mother, I am not sixteen years old, but thirty-six years old." You find a little girl who is less than half my age to be my daughter-in-law. Are you cheating on me, or are you cheating on her? ”

"Shut up!" Mrs. Zhang was really angry with this son. I loved him the most since I was a child, and I followed him in everything, but as a result, I raised him into a stubborn character, "What's wrong with being young?" It's good to give birth at a young age. If you are old and don't hurry up to give birth to a son, how can you give birth in the future! ”

"Mother, don't worry about it. I won't marry her. If you insist on being the master, I have no choice but to ask for a separation. Zhang Shaotian stood up, "I'm not the eldest son, and I'm already an adult, and I'm an official, according to the laws of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, I can set up another door." I don't have any property in the family, I just have to leave. ”

As long as the family is separated, his household registration will be removed from the Zhang family, and Mrs. Zhang will not be able to make her own decisions and marry him.

"You...... You...... You unfilial son! Is it really disobedience?! Mrs. Zhang was furious and stood up with a slap on the table.

Qi Shuyu heard it clearly in the eastern room, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Mother, as long as you don't mention the matter of marrying a wife for me, we can still be mothers and sons who are kind and filial." Zhang Shaotian hardened his heart and said.

In his life, the biggest regret is that he didn't propose to Shen Yongjie as soon as possible.

If he really wants to marry a wife in this life, he will only marry one person, and that is Shen Yongjie.

Other women, no matter how good they are, he doesn't want them.

"What? If I don't agree, you won't be a mother and son with me?! Old Madam Zhang said sharply, took two steps forward, and pointed at Zhang Shaotian tremblingly.

"Mother, you have to be reasonable." Zhang Shaotian rubbed the corners of his forehead, "I've been out for so many years, and I've long been used to making my own decisions about everything. And I said, I'm thirty-six, not sixteen, not twenty-six. When you are old, you should take care of your grandchildren at home, and you don't have to worry about the outside world. ”

In the past few years since Zhang Shaotian came back, he knew that his eldest brother and cousin were both soft-natured people, and he discussed with Mrs. Zhang in everything, and he had already given Mrs. Zhang's power **.

It's not that he underestimates a woman's ability, but he feels that his mother's intentions are a little wrong......

Her mother is from Northern Qi, but since she is married to a five-phase family in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, she is a member of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.

However, Mrs. Zhang didn't seem to regard herself as a native of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, and she still thought about the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Zhang Shaotian couldn't accept it.

The eldest brother Zhang Shaohong is a soft ear, and his cousin Zhang Shaoqi has retired from the court, and he first walked to the court, at first for Shen Yongjie, hoping that he would have the ability to protect her in the future.

But later found out that Mrs. Zhang's thoughts, he decided to become an official, just to leave a way back for the Zhang family......

“…… You...... You...... Get out of here! Mrs. Zhang finally couldn't stand it anymore, and in a fit of rage, she drove Zhang Shaotian out.

Zhang Shaotian is decisive, he feels that he has lived for more than 30 years, if he still doesn't know what is right and what is wrong, then he might as well die head-on.

Leaving from Mrs. Zhang's yard and returning to his yard, he immediately packed up some important things, and then left a letter to his eldest brother Zhang Shaohong, telling him that he had already set up a house in Dongchengfang District, and would come back in two days to discuss the separation with him.

In the letter, he made it clear that he did not divide any family property, and all the Zhang family's property was left to his eldest brother Zhang Shaohong.

When Zhang Shaohong returned home, he was shocked when he saw the letter, and immediately took the letter to ask Mrs. Zhang what happened.

"Huh? This unfilial son! He's really here! Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhang Shaotian's letter, and tears immediately flowed out.

She worked hard to pull a few children up, asked him to be a master, taught and asked, he was the one she loved the most, and he was the most important, but when the child was older, she couldn't help it!

Mrs. Zhang almost fainted from crying, and she was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed.

Zhang Shaohong was so anxious that he ran forward and asked the imperial doctor to treat Mrs. Zhang.

Qi Shuyu saw that because of his own reasons, Zhang Shaotian left home angrily, and he was going to split up again, and Mrs. Zhang was still angry, so she was very sad and even more frightened.

She didn't want to go back to Northern Qi, not at all.

She was a widow in Northern Qi and couldn't marry a good family.

And their family has declined in Northern Qi, although it bears the name of the family, but it is actually a broken settlement.

For as long as she can remember, she has traveled between her home and the pawnshop, either on the way to the pawnshop or on the way back from the pawnshop.

After living in the Wuxiang family of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom for more than a year, she didn't want to return to the home in Northern Qi that lived by pawns every day......

"Aunt......" Qi Shuyu served carefully in front of Mrs. Zhang's bed, endured not crying, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, I've caused you trouble......

"It's fine." Old Madam Zhang waved her hand weakly and glanced at her, very sorry.

Such a good girl, who has a good appearance, bearing, and knowledge, but is not blessed to be her daughter-in-law.

She murmured to Qi Shuyu and grumbled, "...... Alas, Soyu, what kind of sin do you think I have created? The eldest son has been very obedient since he was a child, and the only disobedient thing is to marry his wife who can't get on the stage. The fourth child has never been disobedient, and now, he is even more disobedient, and he even refuses to marry a wife and have children! What can I do? Why don't I have a good idea?! ”
