2. Chapter 002 Stepmother

Zhang Hanqiu smiled at Wu as naturally as possible, and pulled Zhang Qiao'er to catch up quickly.

She had heard of a dream for a thousand years, but she had dreamed of two lifetimes, the life she had lived, and the decades she had experienced in another shijie that was absolutely impossible to imagine.

She didn't believe it was a dream.

No dream foresees everything in advance.

Everyone's words were word for word, and even if there was an extra sentence from Zhang Qiaoer, it would quickly turn back to the original point.

She even knew what her stepmother would talk about after dinner.

There were two dining tables in the dining room, separated by a cloud screen.

Men and women are seven years old at different tables, and since the younger brother is seven years old, the two sisters have set up another table in it.

It was because of this closeness that she trusted her half-sister so much.

There was another dish in the bowl, Zhang Hanqiu looked up, and saw Zhang Qiao'er smiling strangely at her, this kind of silent play under her father's nose was her deepest fondness.

Putting the food in her mouth felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't show it at all, and put down her chopsticks after eating a bowl of rice.

After waiting quietly for a long time, I heard my stepmother's voice from the other end, "Master, there is something I want to ask you to give you an idea." ”

After the crisp lids collided, Zhang Zetian asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Qi Zhensheng, do you remember?"

Zhang Zetian nodded, "I remember, although the Qi family has fallen, the relationship is still there, Mr. Ren by the lord's side is his mentor, I heard that the lord also summoned Qi Zhensheng, and he likes him very much, what you said is related to him?" ”

"Naturally, otherwise how could the concubine mention him." Through the thin cloud veil, Zhang Hanqiu saw that the Wu family covered the corners of his mouth and smiled very amorously, "Mrs. Qi sent someone to propose marriage yesterday. ”

Zhang Zetian knew the foundation of the Qi family, and his heart was very moved, "Eldest sister or second sister?" ”

"Since I am the eldest sister, there is no eldest sister's family affairs before the second sister is decided, if the concubine really does this, she must not be drowned by the spittle stars."

"Mixed up, if anyone outside doesn't say hello to you, even the wives of my colleagues praise you for being kind and virtuous." As soon as the conversation changed, Zhang Zetian went back to the previous matter, "Did you respond at that time?" ”

"You don't have a concubine at home, how dare you make decisions indiscriminately, but the concubine didn't refuse, just said that when you come back, you will give the Qi family a letter of approval, do you think we should not do this?"

"Yes, of course yes, the Qi family will definitely be able to turn over here in Qi Zhensheng, what does it matter if the temporary breakdown point, the eldest sister has enough marriages, as long as the time comes, why worry about money, just like the ...... back then"

The words suddenly stopped here, Zhang Hanqiu felt a sigh in his heart, something flashed in his mind, and he wanted to catch it, but it seemed that something was missing, and he couldn't connect it together.

Wu didn't answer for a while, and only said after a while: "Then the concubine answered the letter over there?" ”

"Well, it's time for the eldest sister to get married, her mother left her a lot of things, you can look at it and add a little fashionable thing."

"Yes, the concubine understands."

The sound of clothes rubbing sounded, Zhang Hanqiu looked over, the husband and wife had already gotten up, and they both left after a while.

The only male in the Zhang family's generation, Zhang Jiabao, who was not yet nine years old, walked around the screen, sat cross-legged between the two sisters, tilted his head and asked, "Eldest sister, you really want to marry someone else's family." ”

Zhang Hanqiu looked at this half-brother with complicated eyes, she clearly remembered that in the dream she died four or five years later, he was the most diligent person to go to her grave, Zhang Jiabao grew up and looked handsome, like a very father, every time he went, he didn't say anything, often sat for an hour or two, drank a jar or a few pots of wine, and staggered away.

No matter when her stepmother and stepsister started calculating her, she believed that Zhang Jiabao was not involved.

"Does Jiabao want to marry off the eldest sister?"

Zhang Jiabao glanced back and forth between the two sisters for a while, and made a choice, "Let's marry the second sister first, and the eldest sister will stay for a while." ”

Zhang Qiao'er stopped doing it, and jumped on it and scratched him, "You eccentric, do you remember that the eldest sister is good to you, and I usually treat you badly?" Those who have no conscience, those who are small have no conscience. ”

"It's that the eldest sister is good to me, and the second sister, you cheated me last time for five taels of silver." was scratched to death, Zhang Jiabao just refused to be soft, and he was not afraid of death and continued to expose his shortcomings. Zhang Qiao'er scratched harder.

Zhang Hanqiu didn't step forward to stop him, he slowly picked up the chopsticks and put a spoonful of vegetables in his mouth and chewed carefully.

It's just more than ten years, how easy it is to go from a lonely and nameless family to today, and people who don't understand it are just that, but Zhang Hanqiu at this moment is extremely transparent, how can I not know that there is something greasy in this.

Zhang Zetian, my father, how much did you sacrifice to get to where you are today? My mother, isn't it one of them?

"Eldest sister, your leg doesn't hurt, your father and mother are gone, you hurry up and loosen up." After laughing, Zhang Qiao'er looked at her sister, who was extremely silent today, and said.

With this reminder, Zhang Hanqiu felt that his legs were numb, and the pain in his calves was like pinpricks.

Sitting reclining and slowly stretching her legs, she remembered the magical shijie in her dream.

The people there don't sit on the floor, and the chairs are very comfortable to sit on, whether they are soft or hard.

The servant woman went forward and gathered the scraps, and brought in a blazing brass stove.

Zhang Qiao'er glanced at Zhang Hanqiu again and again, and asked tentatively, "Eldest sister, are you sick?" It doesn't look like it's very energetic. ”

Zhang Hanqiu's heart tightened, how could she forget that Zhang Qiao'er is used to looking at people's faces, with her intelligence, she is afraid that she will see that something wrong with her today is in her eyes.

Covered his mouth and yawned, tears appeared in the corners of his eyes, and the words he said were a little vague, "What is sick, I had a nightmare all night yesterday, and in the morning it was Ru Niang who finally woke me up, I haven't slept for a long time, not to mention that my father came back today, I remember it firmly, how could I have thought that I would oversleep because of a dream, and I was almost scolded by my father." ”

Zhang Qiao'er suddenly put her mind at ease, and glared at her younger brother as soon as she turned her head, "Jiabao, are you scared of the eldest sister again, you know that you are bullying, and you don't know that the eldest sister is timid." ”

Zhang Jiabao was so aggrieved, "I didn't, eldest sister, I didn't have it, right?" ”

Pinched Zhang Jiabao's face, Zhang Hanqiu nodded, "Jiabao has been very well-behaved recently, and she didn't scare me, probably because my mother was unhappy that I hadn't gone to see her for a long time, so I blamed me for coming." ”

The thought flashed instantly, Zhang Hanqiu lowered his eyebrows and muttered: "It will be my birthday in a few days, and it is said that the birthday of the child is the bitter day of the mother, I want to go to the temple to do a ritual for the mother, I don't know if my father will agree." ”

Zhang Qiao'er wanted to act better than her half-sister, her eyes rolled, she leaned over and clasped her hand and said, "I'll go and talk to my mother, as long as my mother agrees, my father will definitely agree to you going." ”

Zhang Hanqiu suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of surprise, "Really? ”

"Eldest sister, when did I lie to you!" Zhang Qiao'er raised her chin, "I will definitely convince my mother." ”

"Then please Qiao'er, Jiabao, do you want to help the eldest sister know?"

When Zhang Jiabao was born, the hostess of Zhang's mansion was his mother, if it weren't for his mother who often told him that the eldest sister was not his own sister, but the second sister was, he always thought that their third sister and brother were a mother.

At this time, he didn't say anything else, and nodded sensibly, "Don't worry, eldest sister, I will definitely help you." ”

Yawned again, Zhang Hanqiu rubbed the corners of his forehead and frowned, "My head is starting to hurt, I'll go back to the house and lie down." ”

Zhang Qiao'er hurriedly helped her up, "Sister, I'll send you back." ”

"No need, with Ru Niang following, you are still afraid that she will fall and I won't succeed." After Ru Niang tied up the big hat, Zhang Hanqiu looked at the two sisters and brothers with a smile, "It's too cold, don't stay outside for too long." ”

"Got it, got it."

Smiling at the two again, Zhang Hanqiu turned around and left without any nostalgia.

It has only been more than an hour since I woke up, but my mood is one heaven and one underground.

The cold wind blew on his body, Zhang Hanqiu took a deep breath, and the cool air penetrated through his heart.

"Ru Niang, why didn't you see Ah Jiu today?"

Ru Niang followed half a step behind, and hurriedly replied when she heard the words: "The jewelry you ordered in the Yan family shop can be picked up today, she went early in the morning, and she should be back soon." ”

Yes, it was the first pair of earrings she bought for Zhang Qiao'er with the silver she saved, and the price of jewelry in Yan's shop is half as expensive as elsewhere, but because the things in their shop are fresh and beautiful, they are very sought after.

Zhang Qiaoer saw someone else wearing a pair of earrings at the little sisters' party, and she liked it very much, and she talked to her for a long time after she came back.

In order to make her sister happy, she pasted all the money she had saved to buy herself a piece of good material and tailoring clothes as a birthday gift.

It's stupid to think about it now.

Zhang Qiao'er will come to talk to herself, isn't it just that she will be soft-hearted and get what she wants without spending a penny?

But this time, I really have to let her get what she wants, otherwise how can she be willing to help herself speak again.

After a ritual is done, plus the time spent on the road, it is definitely impossible to go and return on the same day, and in order to be a good person, Wu should agree to let her stay in the temple for one night, but ...... She wanted to fight for one more day.

When I returned to the house, the heat was blowing in my face.

Zhang Hanqiu paused at the door and looked at the burning stove in the house.

Not to mention what Wu's idea is, on the surface, she really can't pick out a business trip for herself, and she never deducts food and clothing, which is not much worse than her own daughter, and she can do this to her stepdaughter, which is indeed extremely rare in this era when the stepmother is generally not good.

It's no wonder that her family didn't come back to her anymore as her father wished after learning that her stepmother treated her very well.

Secretly, Wu also made it bright, and from time to time he would come to talk to her about his heart, and her father secretly reminded her when he was in a bad mood, so she would be so close to Wu, Wu believed everything, Wu said that Zhang Qiaoer made her father unhappy, and let her stay in her husband's house for a while longer, and she also dragged her sick body down.

At that time, how could she have thought that this was just a bureau that had been set up for many years and had been able to close the net?
