Zhao Xiang's face turned pale and said to Mrs. Jiang in a trembling voice: "Auntie, I ...... I don't want to marry into the Lin family. ”

Mrs. Jiang put the tea bowl heavily on the table and said coldly, "You don't want to marry?" Why?! The Jiang family landed today's field for your mother. You have further ruined the reputation of our Jiang family. Now that you eat me and live in mine, you almost ruined my daughter's marriage, and you still have the face to disobey me? Don't want to get married? Yes, you give me to get out of the Jiang family immediately, and from now on, I will call our uncle and aunt again, and don't say that I am a relative of the Jiang family in front of outsiders! ”

Zhao Xiang was scolded and cried, and tears kept falling like pearls with broken threads: "Uncle misunderstood, I just ...... I just think that the eldest cousin's marriage has not yet been decided, and the second cousin has not said that he is married, and as the youngest of the sisters, I have passed the sisters to decide on the marriage first, which is not very compliant, so I ......"

"You still have the face to mention your eldest cousin's marriage?!" As soon as Mrs. Jiang mentioned this, her face instantly turned pale.

If it weren't for Uncle Jiang's seventh uncle who had to send Zhao Xiang back to his hometown in Jining, Mrs. Jiang would really not be happy to accept this husband's niece. She was also born in an official eunuch family, she was pampered and raised since she was a child, and when she married Uncle Jiang, she was really a good family and perfect. But since the sister-in-law Jiang was dizzy, instructed someone to kill the husband's second uncle and husband and wife, and before the aftermath was properly dealt with, she was found out and the government was thrown into prison, and the reputation of the Jiang family plummeted. The children of the Jiang family have entered the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department for generations, and they are a well-known family of criminal lawyers, and they have committed a murderous felon, and their reputation for several lifetimes has been lost. However, the old lady Jiang who was in charge of the family at that time was busy with official business when he was young and neglected the upbringing of several children. With guilt, he dotes on his children very much. Even if he was deeply saddened by Jiang's actions, he still decided to save her from prison at any cost. Helplessly, the first emperor convicted him. The Jiang family couldn't do anything except beat the jailers and make the Jiang family live a better life in prison, and they had to endure the sarcasm of others from time to time.

The most terrifying thing is that in order to save his daughter, Mrs. Jiang actually got involved with King Ying, which is really fatal! King Ying's rebellion failed. The Jiang family was implicated and lost their officials, and it is still unknown whether they can make a comeback in the future. In Jining's hometown, the status of the Jiang family, which had been a prominent family for generations, had already plummeted. Nowadays, a little decent people have a banquet. I don't send them posts anymore. For a major event like today's, the gentry in the city all went out of the city to greet them, and they had to participate in the reception banquet in the evening, but their Jiang family was completely excluded. Although Mrs. Jiang also knows it in her heart. Chincha was the king of Quang Binh. The prince accompanied him, accompanied by the deputy envoy Zhao Wei, these three are all bitter masters, and they have indirect old grudges with the Jiang family, and they will never be happy to see the Jiang family appear. Even if the notice really came down to the Jiang family, it would be impossible for them and his wife to attend. But without asking, they deprived the Jiang family of their rights and arranged for those nouveau riche who were far inferior to the Jiang family to go to the dock. How can she swallow this breath?

This qiē is all due to Zhao Xiang's mother, and Mrs. Jiang is naturally full of resentment towards Zhao Xiang. And that's not all. Her eldest daughter Yuan Yao is not young anymore, and she will become an old girl if she doesn't get married. In the past, she was reluctant to marry her daughter, and she wanted to choose a suitable son-in-law for her daughter, so she didn't marry her daughter for a long time. Some time ago, I finally met a nice young man, surnamed Zhong, and the other party was also somewhat related to King Ying's case, but someone in the clan was guilty, and he was fine in his own family. Others have taboos in their hearts and dare not marry lightly, but she takes a fancy to the young man who is about to participate in the imperial examination, and he is also good at learning, good looks, and mild temperament, and she is determined to tell her daughter. Unexpectedly, she asked the young man and his mother to visit the Buddhist temple, and wanted to take the opportunity to mention the marriage, so Zhao Xiang took the first step to "meet" someone in the apricot forest in the temple. I don't know what Zhao Xiang did abruptly, people suddenly excused themselves that there was something at home, and they took a step ahead without waiting for her to arrive with her daughter. Later, she found out that it was the girl next to her daughter who leaked the secret, beat the person out half-dead, and then wanted to go to the appointment. The young man said that he was in a hurry to leave, and politely declined her invitation. In fact, he was in the city with his mother and sisters, and there was no movement for several days, so it can be seen that it was just an excuse.

Mrs. Jiang hated it very much in her heart, and she didn't want her daughters' marriage to be frustrated again, so she made up her mind to marry Zhao Xiang, the evil leader, first, so as to save the latter from making some demon moths. If it weren't for her husband's place where Zhao Xiang could be found, he wouldn't have left this girl at home for so long, but he didn't propose to practice at home. Now is the time to use her, no matter what, it is impossible for Mrs. Jiang to let Zhao Xiang escape.

She sneered and warned Zhao Xiang: "Be honest, although you are young, you don't need a round house anyway, what does it matter if you get married?" The auspicious day has been set, you hurry up and be obedient, have a sweeter mouth after passing the door, and be diligent in waiting for the patient. As long as you please your in-laws, even if your husband dies, the Lin family will support you for a lifetime. His family has silver and land, and he is very decent in Jining, although your father-in-law is just a clerk, but the general Jiupin Sesame official is not as effective as his words! You don't want to marry a wealthy family, rich, powerful and delegable, now that you can get married, what are you talking about? If it weren't for the fact that you were a daughter of an official family, and you could coax people by pretending, his family would like you like you, and it would be impossible to choose you. There are good families outside, which one is not better than you? Annoys his family, they kick you away and pick another one, but your life is going to be sad. Don't expect our family to support you, you don't know each other, and we're too lazy to feed someone for nothing! After speaking, she stood up, ignoring Zhao Xiang's reaction, and went away.

Zhao Xiang bit his lower lip tightly, his eyes were full of tears, but his eyes were extremely unwilling. She chose to leave her grandmother behind and go to her uncle's house alone, but it was not for this result. The matter of the Zhong family's later life is just that she is curious about what kind of relatives her aunt has found for her cousin, if the other party is really good, and she doesn't find fault with the Jiang family as a criminal minister, maybe she won't care if she is the daughter of a criminal minister. It is really difficult for her to find a good relative, but in comparison, it is much easier for her eldest cousin, at least she has her parents and brothers to rely on. She didn't feel that if she fought once, she would ruin her eldest cousin's life. Who would have thought that as soon as the latter heard about her life experience, his face changed greatly and left. Could it be that she is a flood beast? It's all the same as the family members of the anti-party. Who is more noble than whom? I think that at the beginning, she Zhao Xiang was also a person who almost married into the first-class prince's mansion, if it weren't for the despondent now. He thought she was going to take a fancy to him?!

She is not uncommon with the Zhong family, but she can't agree to the marriage of the Lin family no matter what. Everyone in Jining knew that his son was suffering from tuberculosis and was about to die, and he married a wife just for the sake of joy. If she really marries, she will be widowed in a few days, and maybe she will be forced to be martyred by his family, so as to gain a good reputation for his family. She is only 14 years old. I still have a good life, and I don't want to die so soon.

Maybe...... She should be more cheeky and find that cheap great-grandmother Zhang. Although the Lin family is a little powerful in Jining. But it is a family of officials, and it does not enter the stream. The uncle and aunt's family were demanding, but they didn't want their family to bear the reputation of intermarrying with the officials, so they married her. But she is also the great-granddaughter of the Duke of Jiannan County. Take Zhang's as a person. I would never watch her marry into that kind of family and ruin her great-grandfather's reputation. If she is lucky, maybe she can let the Zhang family set a good family affair for her. The matchmaker made by the county duchess is much more reliable than others.

Zhao Xiang made up his mind to find another opportunity to get close to Zhang. Now that they live in the inn, it saves her trouble. The place was much easier to access than the boat the prince was on. But when she looks for it, it's best to avoid her aunt Zhao Xiu, who is mean. I will never let her go lightly!

Thinking of this, she rummaged through the closet in the bedroom of her room for a long time. found a few silver hairpins, as well as two half-new silk handkerchiefs, and planned to use them to bribe the mother-in-law guarding the back door. Unexpectedly, when she found an opportunity to find it, the guard at the back door had already changed. Now the new mother-in-law is not moved by that little money at all, and said with a smile: "Mrs. has ordered, the cousin is about to get married, it is better not to go out and wander around again, so that the in-laws will know and suspect the girl's reputation." What good man's daughter shows up outside all day long? ”

Zhao Xiang trembled with anger, but she was more worried that Mrs. Jiang would be strict against herself, if she couldn't persuade the Zhang family to support her before the marriage, what would she do?

Zhao Xiu didn't know that all Zhao Xiang was thinking about at the moment was how to put aside himself and persuade the Zhang family to contribute to his marriage. She accompanied her grandmother Zhang to move into the post station, and began to be busy settling her luggage.

As Fang Chongshan introduced, the house of the post station is really good, warm and spacious, and the furniture inside is not precious, but it is elegant and comfortable. The flowers in the vase are also Zhang's favorite variety. Zhao Xiu went to her room to take a look again, and found that the tea prepared for her by the post station was actually white tea from the Zhao family's tea garden. This is by no means something that can be taken out by a post station, it must be someone who knows the preferences of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhao family specially placed it here. Zhao Xiu immediately guessed a candidate in his heart.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Just as she was guessing, the postman sent a post from her mother-in-law, which was written by Fang Renzhu, the fifth girl of Fang, saying that she would come to greet the Zhang family tomorrow with her mother, Mrs. Fang. Zhao Xiu happily replied to the post and ordered someone to prepare refreshments. It's a pity that she is now in the guest house, and the things in the room are all prepared by her friend Fang Renzhu to entertain the other party, which is too ridiculous. She sent someone back to the ship to get something.

Just sent someone out, and the Zhang family sent Xia Lu to call her granddaughter, and then said to her granddaughter: "The waiting mother-in-law said that she has boiled several large buckets of hot water, and we can take a bath and soak in the bath at any time." On board these days, it is the most inconvenient to take a bath. Now that the house is warm and the water is hot, we are so lax, right? ”

Zhao Xiu was also pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly agreed. In the evening, the grandparents and grandchildren took a hot bath and ate a light and delicious meal sent by Fang Chongshan's wife, and their whole bodies were warm, and they only felt very useful in their hearts.

After a good night's sleep, when they got up the next day, Zhao Xiu and Zhang's freshened up and had breakfast, and after breakfast, the mother-in-law reported that Mrs. Fang and Miss Fang Wu were here.

Fang Renzhu has lost a lot of weight compared to when they were separated a few months ago, wearing a winter coat in sheepskin, and coughing from time to time. Zhao Xiu was a little worried about her body: "You don't care, right?" Could it be that Shandong cuisine is not to your taste, and you eat less rice to lose weight like this? ”

Fang Renzhu pursed his lips and smiled: "How come?" I don't eat a lot, but every winter, I have to have an old illness, and it's not a big deal, but I just eat more bitter juice. He changed the topic again: "You just said that you had a letter from my eldest sister to me, where is it?" ”

Zhao Xiu glanced at her helplessly, then took out the letter from his sleeve and held it to Mrs. Fang with both hands: "Take a good look, I don't know what she wrote, but I can be sure that there must be something wrong with the Qiu family!" ”

"Oh?" Mrs. Fang Da took the letter and looked a little surprised. Although she was very disappointed in her eldest daughter, after all, it was a mother-daughter connection, and she couldn't really leave Huizhu alone. As soon as she took the letter, she opened it and read it. At first, I was a little confused, but I just felt that what I said in the letter was very ordinary, where was it like what Zhao Xiu said?

But then, Fang Renzhu took the letter, read it back and forth twice, and his face changed greatly: "This is a secret letter!" The eldest sister hid between the lines what she really wanted to say! ”

Zhao Xiu suddenly became energetic: "What are you saying?" (To be continued......)
