Chapter 36: It's a Trap
The little lady of the Zhang family set off from Biezhuang early in the morning, bringing her own maid and grandmother, as well as her second uncle and mother to send her off.
The second aunt was also in the car, and when she saw that the little maid was chattering big or small, she lifted the curtain and looked out, and couldn't help frowning.
Their Ma family is a family of eunuchs, and their father Ma Jiang has been upright all his life, and he was a famous official in the court in the past. It's a pity that after the death of his father in the eighth year of Qingli, the family gradually fell into the cold, and his father's protΓ©gΓ© and old friends also became sparse, so Zhang Fangping, the sister-in-law, is still a little capable.
Zhang Fangping is good at everything, but his temper is like Ma Jiang, he doesn't know how to do things, and he has offended many people in the court, even Ouyang Xiu, who used to be Fan Zhongyan's left and right arms, is not very good at dealing with him, not to mention Han Qi and others who are in charge of the throne.
Now that Ouyang Xiu has returned to the Imperial Palace, he still has to work blindly outside, and he doesn't know how to do more activities with these old friends.
She won't talk about these big things outside, and he is also a mess of things at home, like this little niece was raised by them to have a perverse temperament, and she only lived in Beizhuang for a few days before coming back.
Even if she went to Beizhuang, this niece just held the book and read it again, and even her cousin didn't like to take care of it. With such a temperament, how can she rest assured that her son will ask for marriage?
When she thought that she would have a daughter-in-law who didn't like to talk and had a cold face, she felt very uncomfortable.
As a mother-in-law, who doesn't want her daughter-in-law to be well-behaved, filial and caring? No matter how bad it is, you have to know how to deal with people, right? Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting and female red and the like, you have to learn, right?
If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Fangping had no daughter to marry at home, she really didn't want to find such a daughter-in-law for her son.
She, who was an aunt, personally sent her back, and she didn't say much on the road, she really couldn't be a person.
The second uncle taught his niece earnestly: "The little girl is not sensible, don't really listen to their instigation." A girl from a good family won't run to a place like Washi, and it will make people laugh when she says it. β
The little lady of the Zhang family smiled shallowly and listened politely to the second aunt's speech.
Seeing that her niece was listening, the second aunt became even more energetic and said: "I have heard people talk about this play, that is, it is for mud legs, the words of the play are very vulgar, I feel dirty ears when I hear it from a relative, you must not run to that kind of place because of curiosity." You must always remember that your words and deeds represent the tutor of the Zhang family, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds wherever you go, and you can't lose your father's face. After speaking, she added, "When you get married, you still have to protect the face of your husband's family, and you must not make mistakes and let others hold the handle." β
The little lady of the Zhang family smiled with her eyebrows, but there was no smile in her eyes.
Many elders love to say these words to them.
Her mother spoiled her, and her sisters also spoiled her, so that she could do what she wanted to do, but her aunt and uncle always liked to tell her what a girl should do to satisfy her father and brother and her husband's family, as if it was a matter of course to follow her father at home and marry her husband.
After listening to it a lot, she realized that her aunt and uncle were the thoughts of the majority, and her mother and sister were the minority.
Her mother and sister loved her, so they didn't demand anything from her.
The second aunt intends to match her and her cousin, and the little lady of the Zhang family can see it. It was precisely because she could see that she ignored her cousin and cousin, saving her second aunt from running to her mother and saying that they were in a good relationship, and they happened to kiss each other.
Don't think that if she doesn't like to talk, you can't see that her second aunt dislikes her.
She knew it.
When the little lady of the Zhang family returned home, the second aunt was received by Ma.
The second aunt obviously held back her stomach and wanted to talk to Ma, so the little lady of the Zhang family said hello to Ma and went back to the room, too lazy to listen to how the second aunt arranged her unsociable and unoutstanding. When she returned to her room, she remembered that she had not finished reading a book, and told the maid and grandmother to go about their own business, so she sat under the window and began to read.
On this day, Su Lu slept until three poles on the sun, stretched his waist, comfortable! After he finished washing up and had breakfast, he heard Xiaocui say that the little lady of the Zhang family had returned.
Su Lu immediately came to the spirit.
The little lady of the Zhang family has been gone for so long, but it has made Su Lu miserable, he has read many more books these days than he has read in the past seven years! Although he has the help of Xueba, studying is still too hard for Su Lu, and he can only barely survive by thinking about the cute and loving little lady of the Zhang family.
Su Lu casually took a plate of flower snacks and walked around to play with the little lady of the Zhang family. He was young, and no one stopped him when he ran around, and after entering the courtyard where the little lady of the Zhang family was, he saw a petite and lovely little girl sitting by the window from a distance.
Su Lu did not enter the house through the main entrance, but went around to the window, raised his hand and knocked on the window.
The little lady of the Zhang family was looking at the book in her hand intently, and when she heard the knock on the window, she looked sideways, and saw a plate of delicate and beautiful dim sum appearing in front of her eyes, each dim sum was like a blooming flower, so beautiful.
Then Su's head poked out from under the window.
"Eat?"
Su Lu asked with a smile.
The little lady of the Zhang family put down the book in her hand and did not invite Su Lu into her boudoir, but got up and came out to sit with Su Lu on the edge of the stone table in the courtyard to talk.
Su Lu was very proud in his heart.
Just know it works!
Food is the bridge between human beings!
Since ancient times, it has been like this, rich people communicate at the wine table, ordinary people communicate at the dinner table, and poor people communicate at the hot pot restaurant stalls, no one can eat without it, and no one can not love to eat!
Su Lu sent the dim sum to the little lady of the Zhang family, and said angrily: "I didn't bring tea." β
The little lady of the Zhang family smiled: "How can the tea be boiled and then brought." She beckoned the maids beside her to make tea for guests, and asked Su Lu generously if she was used to living in Chengdu Mansion.
Su Lu nodded again and again: "Habit, special habit." β
Originally, he was ready to roll up the cover and run away, and take Xiaocui and them to chase after his father for hundreds of miles, but since the little lady of the Zhang family is back, he won't leave, and no one wants him to leave half a step!
Su Lu actively praised Zhang Fangping and Zhang Shulai in front of the little lady of the Zhang family, saying that they were very good at learning, and they were particularly inspiring when teaching him to read.
The little lady of the Zhang family picked up a piece of pastry, brought it to her mouth and took a small bite, and she looked very gentle. She finished the pastry and thought it was sweet and delicious.
After Su Lu finished praising people, she asked with a smile: "Then I have a problem when I don't understand when I am studying, can I ask you?" β
Su Zhen blinked, always feeling that this was a trap.
This is a big trap!
The little girl in front of her had clear eyes, a sweet smile, and the whole person looked like a tempting sugar cake, soft and sweet. But if he bites it stupidly, it may be a sharp hook waiting for him!
"I've just started school, I won't be sure, if you don't," Su Lu carefully left himself a little leeway, and then patted his little chest and promised, "But you can come and ask me, let's learn and progress together." β
"Okay." The little lady of the Zhang family should take a bite.
Su Lu was thinking about how to continue chatting, when he heard a sound of footsteps coming from far and near. He looked up and saw Ma and a strange woman walking towards him.
When the strange woman saw him, the expression on her face was very ugly, and she didn't know what to say to Ma, but Mashi smiled at her gently and replied softly.
This attitude clearly angered the strange woman, who angrily brushed her sleeves away.
Su Lu looked dazed.
Su Lu turned her head and asked the little lady of the Zhang family curiously: "Who is that?" β
The little lady of the Zhang family said: "That's my second aunt." β
Su Lu nodded suddenly, but he still didn't quite understand, and whispered to the little lady of the Zhang family: "Why did your second aunt come to your house to be angry?" β
The little lady of the Zhang family was not ashamed at all, and frankly analyzed her second aunt's behavior with Su Lu: "She wants to match me and my cousin, and when she sees me eating tea alone with you, she will naturally be angry." β
When Ma approached, he heard his daughter's words, so that he stumbled and almost didn't fall.
Even if you see it, even if you don't mean that, there's no need to say it in front of Su Lu, right? Fortunately, your second aunt has been angry just now!
