18. Chapter 018 Eccentricity
The more Zhang Qiao'er thought about it, the more frightened she became, and threw herself into Wu's arms and cried, "Mother, what should I do, what should I do." β
Wu slapped her the back, angry and angry, "Stupid thing, if the matter spreads and your reputation is gone, my years of hard work will be in vain." β
Zhang Qiao'er just cried.
Wu rubbed his forehead, "Don't cry in a hurry, tell your mother which sons are you?" β
"The Xu family, the Jiang family, the Wei family, and the Wu family."
Wei Jia...... The Wu family's face changed, to say that the other three families are fine, the lord and them are in the same boat, it is not unthinkable, but the Wei family is two-faced, and they have a good relationship with anyone, but they did not get on any of the ships.
If he did shake it out......
No, even if the Wei family is also in the same boat, the matter can't be hidden, they are all half-grown children, how can they keep their mouths, even if this matter is not spread all over the city, but it can't be hidden in the aristocratic circle, how can you allow people in the future?
No, we have to fix the problem before it gets the word!
Thinking that he had planned for many years, but Zuihou had fallen short, Wu couldn't wait to give his daughter a few slaps.
She is not sensible, if she can endure it a little more, the large amount of dowry left by Xia Wei will be hers, not to mention that when the second uncle of the Xia family came to the door, he also said that the Xia family would come to add boxes when Zhang Hanqiu got married.
The Xia family is just a cheap businessman, not much else, just a lot of silver.
The aristocracy looks down on the lowly merchants, but why can't people ask for silver when they live? The old man has made a lot of money over the years, but there are also many people who have gone out, how can the Zhang family say that they are also nobles now, and they still have to do superficial work, and the family is far less rich than what outsiders see.
If you try your best to buy a dowry for Qiao'er, what about the family treasure? He is still studying, and he will definitely go to Shitu in the future, and he needs to be taken care of everywhere at that time, and he will marry a daughter-in-law, where can he lack silver?
If you can't get Zhang Hanqiu's things, how can Qiao'er live a loose life in the future!
This stupid guy! Ruined all her jihua.
hated, Wu beat Zhang Qiao'er a few more times.
Seeing that her mother was really annoyed, Zhang Qiaoer didn't dare to be coquettish anymore, she lowered her head and shed tears, looking very pitiful.
"You are not allowed to go out again during this time."
"Brother Zhen, where ......"
"It's called Qi Gongzi, people are still your sister's fiancΓ©, and the eldest sister is not so intimate, if you are heard, do you still want to be a person?"
Zhang Qiao'er knew that her mother was angry, and she didn't dare to talk back, but she really cared about Qi Zhensheng, and looked at Wu with blank eyes.
Wu was softened, sighed and said: "Things have come to this point, of course we can't let Qi Zhensheng and the eldest sister get married, the eldest sister is not a big problem, she has always let you do everything, but your father ......"
"Dad has always loved me, and he will definitely agree!"
Wu glared at her, "This involves a family style issue, Qi Zhensheng was originally the fiancΓ© of the eldest sister, but you got involved with him, your father doesn't like the eldest sister anymore, and he won't let go of this matter gently, otherwise how will Jiabao discuss marriage with others in the future?" You just think about yourself, have you ever thought about your brother? Without your mother's brother to support you, even if you achieve your wish and marry Qi Zhensheng, where can you be happy in the future. β
As soon as it touched Zhang Jiabao's heart, Zhang Qiao'er muttered secretly, but her mouth obediently responded, "Mother, I know, I will pay attention to it in the future." β
"It's good that you really listen to it." Wu got up, "Your father is coming back soon, you have to think about how to talk to him, you have to fight this matter yourself." β
"...... today"
"It must be today, your father has made sense here, and tomorrow I will persuade the eldest sister, if I can, tomorrow I will go to discuss the next matter with the Qi family, the sooner the better."
Thinking that Brother Zhen will be her after tomorrow, Zhang Qiao'er has the courage, isn't it just to be trained by her father, don't you be afraid, your father will always beat her.
Zhang Zetian really didn't hit her.
Just threw the teacup and a whole cup of tea on her.
"Old man......"
"Shut up." Zhang Zetian had a cold face at his wife, who had always loved him, "What did you say the day before yesterday?" Kindness? You said that you inquired clearly, so did you inquire that Qi Zhensheng would also go? β
"I ......" Wu felt bitter in her heart, of course she agreed only when she knew that Qi Zhensheng was going, but how could her husband know.
She is sure of the master's heart, and she also knows that the old man has never looked down on the weak eldest sister, but no matter how much she can't look down on it, it's his daughter, it's okay if she doesn't look down on her, if she really treats her badly and abuses her, I'm afraid she won't always be good to her for so many years, no matter how many young beauties are accepted in the house most of the time every month.
As the years go by, what she can rely on is a pair of children, her understanding of the master, and her gentleness.
If only he knew his calculations......
Biting his lip, Wu shook his head, "The concubine doesn't know." β
"You don't know." Zhang Zetian snorted coldly, looking at Zhang Qiao'er with a coldness that he usually didn't have.
Zhang Qiao'er shrank for a moment, and finally became a little scared, knelt down with a soft knee, and said in a soft voice: "Dad, my daughter knows that she is wrong, but my daughter really likes Qi Gongzi!" β
"Shut up, are you still a little shameful, that's your sister's fiancΓ©, where is your turn to like it." Zhang Zetian stood up violently, and Zhang Qiao'er was so frightened that she retreated again and again.
Wu thought that the old man was going to beat his daughter, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him, and pleaded softly, "Master, Qiao'er knows it's wrong, really, Qiao'er knows it's wrong, you can forgive her." β
"Forgive her, and then what? Fulfill her? Zhang Zetian sneered, shook off Wu's hand and said, "Fulfilled her, what about the eldest sister?" After being divorced, where can I find a good family again, she is not married well, and my face is gloomy, you didn't think of these? β
"I ...... I ......"
Zhang Zetian no longer looked at her, and looked at his second daughter coldly, "From this moment on, you are not allowed to go out of the house for half a step without my permission, and tomorrow I will invite Mrs. Qi and Qi Zhensheng to come over the house." β
"Master, by all means, if this matter is revealed, how can you discuss your relatives in the future? The eldest sister is your daughter, and Qiao'er is also your daughter! β
"If you don't ask Mrs. Qi to come to the house to discuss, how can you discuss the marriage of the second sister and Qi Zhensheng?"
Wu and Zhang Qiao'er were stunned, which meant......
"Dad, shouldn't we talk about the marriage between the eldest sister and the son of Qi?" Qi Jiabao stood at the door with the crumbling Zhang Hanqiu, looking at the few people in the room with a calm face.
I didn't expect Zhang Hanqiu to come over at this time, and in an instant, the surroundings were quiet.
Wu secretly screamed in her heart, didn't she promise to let her not use the main house for a day today? How did I come here so coincidentally just in time for this incident, and I didn't even have a buffer.
It's not that she's afraid of Zhang Hanqiu, no one in this family is afraid of her, but it's troublesome, isn't it?
Subconsciously looking at the master, Zhang Zetian didn't mean to change his mind at all, "Since you're here, come in, just talk about it." β
"Daddy......"
"Shut up, it's not your right to talk about this."
Zhang Jiabao pursed his mouth unwillingly, and looked sideways at the eldest sister with a pale face, how could they treat the eldest sister like this?
Is it just because the eldest sister is easy to talk? Is it just because the eldest sister is honest?
Zhang Hanqiu entered the room with a wooden face, bowed his head and didn't say a word.
"If your sister doesn't marry Qi Zhensheng, this life will be ruined, no nobleman will accept a woman with a tainted reputation who is laughed at after dinner, things have come to this point, you just let it go, I will pay attention to your marriage in the future, even if it is not as good as Qi Zhensheng, it will not be too bad."
How biased can this man's heart be?
Zhang Hanqiu thought, when she listened to the previous words outside, she thought that her father was really going to make decisions for her, what was her mood at that time?
Excited, sad, warm......
But these emotions were poured out by Zuihou's sentence.
It turned out to be all fake, and that was just his foreshadowing.
Knowing that if she was dismissed, it would be difficult to marry again in the future, and he knew that it would be difficult to find a better condition than Qi Zhensheng, but the first thing he thought of was Zhang Qiao'er.
"Daddy, am I really your daughter?"
The house is silent.
Zhang Zetian raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to say?" β
"I can't figure it out, it's also a daughter, weishenme, your heart can be biased like this." Zhang Hanqiu stated lightly, turning her head to look at Zhang Qiao'er, who was staring at her wide-eyed, "Qiao'er, am I an evil sister?" β
Zhang Qiao'er subconsciously shook her head.
"Do you know it, sister of more than ten years, what do I not want you to do? You have to come and tell me in unison, why steal behind your back. β
"I didn't steal!" Zhang Qiao'er retorted loudly, "We are...... It's the joy of the two loves, and it's hard to help it. β
"Qi Zhensheng and I have a marriage contract in front of you, you are stealing." Zhang Hanqiu got up, "I've always been a good sister, since you want him, give it to you." β
Zhang Zetian felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, the eldest sister automatically backed down, isn't this what they want?
"Qiu'er, Dad won't care about your marriage."
"I know that if I were an old girl at home, my father would be disgraced."
was blocked back by what he had said, Zhang Zetian was so choked that he couldn't speak for a while.
Zhang Hanqiu didn't want to hear what he said anymore, so he turned around and walked out.
"Sister, I'll send you back to the house."
Zhang Hanqiu glanced back at Zhang Jiabao and smiled, "Okay." β
Along the way, Zhang Jiabao carefully glanced at the eldest sister again and again, pursed his lips and did not dare to speak.
Zhang Hanqiu held his hand, "Is it okay to eat in my sister's house at night?" β
"Okay."
Zhang Hanqiu smiled again, this is a big concession for Jiabao, who is reluctant to sit at the same table at the age of seven.
The meal was very rich, Zhang Hanqiu kept giving Zhang Jiabao vegetables, and he almost didn't eat it.
Zhang Jiabao sometimes looked up from the stacked bowls and gave vegetables to his sister, and whenever this time Zhang Hanqiu would eat with a smile.
Seeing that his sister smiled at him as usual, Zhang Jiabao was relieved, and secretly decided that he must be very good to the eldest sister in the future, and never talk to the second sister again.
After the meal, the two sisters and brothers talked for a while, and seeing that he covered his mouth and yawned, Zhang Hanqiu personally sent the person back.
"Sister, I'll come to you tomorrow after school."
"Okay, Jiabao, you ...... Listen to the gentleman. β
"Don't worry, eldest sister, I will, I want to learn everything that my husband knows, and when I grow up, I will become very powerful, and I will be able to protect my eldest sister when the time comes."
"Big sister waits."
The eldest sister hopes that you will become a talent, but I don't know if we will have a chance to meet after you become a talent, even if we meet, will the love still be there?
Zhang Hanqiu raised his head, there was not even a star on the sky, and tonight was really a good time to kill people and set fires.
