Chapter 112: Family Affection
"Sing it."
Su Zhenzhen spread out her singing voice and sang a modern song for Yu'er, who listened carefully with a look of admiration. And Su Zhenzhen's singing voice was also heard by Zhang's mother and some guests passing by.
After singing, Su Zhenzhen looked at Yu'er and said, "Is Yu'er good?"
"Who was singing just now?" Before Yu'er could answer, Zhang's mother asked.
"Mother Zhang, I sang it."
"It's very nice to sing, I've never heard a song like Miss Su, it's really pleasant." Zhang's mother praised.
"Yes, Su Zhenzhen, it's really good, you must teach Yu'er when you have time." Yu'er said expectantly.
"Okay, no problem."
"Mother Zhang, someone just asked who sang the song." Xiao Cui walked from inside.
Mother Zhang didn't answer, but just turned her head and asked Su Zhenzhen: "Miss Su, are you interested in singing here, you don't have to show your face, you just need to wear a veil and sit in the room."
"Mother Zhang, what do you mean by that?" Su Zhenzhen asked a little puzzled.
"Fang Cai, I think it's very nice to hear your song, and some guests have also heard it and praised it again and again, so I think you can sing it specially." Zhang's mother explained.
"But Mother Zhang, I just sang casually, and I never learned it, what should I do if I lose face." Su Zhenzhen was a little hesitant, she had never performed on stage in modern times, but Fang Cai's mother said that she could show her face and sit in the house and sing, which could be considered. The old woman saw that Su Zhenzhen did not open her mouth to respond, so she added: "If you sing here, I can give you some silver taels every month as a reward for you, and you can decide how many silver taels you want."
"Mother Zhang, let's let Su Zhenzhen think about it again. How about giving you an answer tomorrow. Su Zhenzhen said euphemistically.
"Okay, I'll wait for your reply tomorrow, think about it, Yu'er." The old woman called Yu'er, and Chong Yu'er gave Yu'er a look and motioned for Yu'er to persuade Su Zhenzhen well, and asked Su Zhenzhen to agree to this condition, and Yu'er nodded at the old woman.
"Then you two can chat here for a while, I'll be busy first. : The old woman stood up and said.
"Su Zhenzhen, your singing voice is so beautiful, why don't you agree to Mother Zhang." Su Zhenzhen is actually not afraid of being embarrassed, what Su Zhenzhen is afraid of is known by the people in the palace If she is not dead, then they will definitely not give up. But she couldn't, and told Yu'er what to do if she scared Yu'er.
"The tree is very popular, and I'm afraid of causing some trouble." Su Zhenzhen said calmly.
"Oh, Miss Su, you have changed your name, and Mother Zhang also said, you can put on a veil, sit in the room, and don't show your face."
Su Zhenzhen didn't answer, just thought about it quietly.
"Yu'er, you really think the song I sing is very good." Su Zhenzhen asked tentatively.
"Of course, Miss Su, Yu'er has never heard such a beautiful song."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Alright, let's go back quickly, you'll be busy entertaining guests later." Su Zhenzhen said.
"I'll go back and pack up first."
Su Zhenzhen returned to the room, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and involuntarily hummed her favorite song in modern times, Su Zhenzhen likes to listen to songs very much in modern times, but she has traveled to ancient times, no Walkman, no computer, mobile phone, she can only sing by herself. Su Zhenzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and she seemed to have some new idea in her heart.
"It would be a good thing if I carried forward modern songs here. In this way, Zhang's mother's business may be better. Su Zhenzhen thought to herself.
Thinking in her heart, Su Zhenzhen started to make a veil, embroider her favorite things, and make a plain dress for herself, although she sings in the house, she should also pay attention to it, in case something unexpected happens, someone will not see her true face if she accidentally breaks in.
At dinner time, Su Zhenzhen found Zhang's mother.
"Mother Zhang, I have thought about it, I am willing to sing here."
"That's great, I won't treat you badly in the future. In the future, I will give you some money every month as a return to work, as for how much you decide? ”
"Then Su Zhenzhen thanked Zhang's mother for her kindness, Zhang's mother ......" Su Zhenzhen hesitated.
"What's the matter, Miss Su."
"I don't know if the prince has any new news?" Su Zhenzhen looked at Zhang's mother expectantly.
"I haven't sent someone to the palace to investigate, the prince still hasn't come back, don't worry, I can't forget this matter, if the prince comes back, I will tell you immediately." Zhang's mother comforted.
"Thank you Mother Zhang for comparing Su Zhenzhen's dog, Su Zhenzhen is grateful."
"Good boy, where is this, you have helped me a lot, and I am also a person who knows how to be gracious, so naturally I will not treat you badly." The old woman looked at Su Zhenzhen with a kind face,
"Mother Zhang, then I'll prepare tonight and sort out the lyrics of the song, how about starting tomorrow?"
"Okay, okay, listen to you." The old woman looked delighted.
Su Zhenzhen returned to the room and asked Xiaocui for rice paper and brushes, and she was going to write down all the lyrics she had memorized and make adequate preparations.
"Miss Su, do you need my help?" Xiao Cui looked at Su Zhenzhen's posture of holding the brush very awkwardly, and she couldn't write a word for a long time, so she asked a little anxiously.
"No, no, no." Su Zhenzhen replied, after all, there is still a big difference between ancient and modern, and Su Zhenzhen is afraid that she doesn't know the traditional Chinese characters written by Xiaocui, so she should write it herself.
"Miss Su, I'm going to get busy first, you can call me if you have something." Xiaocui really can't stand it, let's go, after all, out of sight, not upset.
"Su Zhenzhen, come on, you can do it." Su Zhenzhen regrouped, took a new piece of paper, and started writing again. After rewriting over and over again, Su Zhenzhen finally used the brush with some ease. Su Zhenzhen wrote while humming, and the writing was so fascinating that before she knew it, she wrote it until midnight.
"Finally, I'm done, I'm exhausted." Su Zhenzhen threw away the brush, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The people of Yangcheng are not happy, it is a natural disaster, it is also a man-made disaster, the streets are full of beggars begging for food, and most of them are children who have not grown up, this year's harvest in the farmland is very small, in addition to Sun Zhangke deducting the people, oppressing them to pay all kinds of taxes, the heavy taxes are about to overwhelm the people, the people also thought that the above sent the prince to inspect the people's lives, I thought that it could be rectified and punished Sun Zhang, but to their disappointment, the prince was extraordinary but did not help them get justice, but he was going to marry the sister of the Sun thief, and the writing made the local people very cold, and they didn't have any expectations.
Some old people, women and children, sitting in ragged clothes, sat in the street with empty eyes, and they could not resist and could only wait to starve to death, to die of disease.
Sun Mansion
"Tell me to go down and have some sumptuous appetizers ready tonight." Sun Zhang ordered.
"Obey the order, sir, the slave will do it."
Then Sun Zhang returned to his study, sitting at his desk and thoughtfully planning something.
"Master Sun." Qinglian pulled Sun Zhang out of his own thoughts.
"When did you get back?"
"Just now."
"There's no movement in the court."
"Back to my lord, the slave and maid observed for two days and did not make any big moves, so the slave and maid hurried back last night."
"Thank you for your hard work, you should rest for a few days."
"Qinglian is not tired."
"Tonight, Lord Cheng and others are going to come over to discuss some things with me, and I will inform you what you need to do when the time comes, and you will be busy at that time. Alright, go down and rest. ”
"Thank you, Lord Sun, Qinglian is retiring."
Su Zhenzhen slept until noon.
"Knock knock knock." Yu'er knocked on the door and no one answered, just when Yu'er was hesitating to leave.
"I guess Miss Su is still sleeping." A small green road passing by.
"Why did Miss Su sleep until now, it's already noon?"
"Miss Su had been writing on paper last night, and when I got up in the middle of the night to go to the thatched house, the lights were still on in Miss Su's house."
"I see."
"What are you two doing here?" While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a stern voice like thunder.
"Mother Zhang, I have something to look for Miss Su, but she prepared the song late at night last night, so she hasn't gotten up yet."
"Oh, yes, Xiao Cui let the kitchen sit with refreshing soup, bring lunch too, and let Miss Su eat it when she wakes up." Su Zhenzhen has now become the old woman's cash cow, so the old woman is now very good to Su Zhenzhen.
"I'll go."
"I'm going to get her up now." Yu'er said.
"Hmm." The old woman turned and left.
"Miss Su, Miss Su, wake up."
"What's wrong, Yu'er." Su Zhenzhen asked in a daze.
"It's noon, the sun is drying your buttocks, it's time to get up, Xiaocui is going to prepare lunch for you." Yu'er covered her mouth and smiled.
"Oh my God, it's noon, so late." Su Zhenzhen suddenly jumped up from the bed, scratching her head.
"yes." Yu'er continued to laugh.
"Lunch is coming." Xiaocui walked in with her meal.
"Xiaocui, you go get busy first, I have a few words I want to talk to Miss Su." Yu'er branched out Xiaocui.
"Tell me anything, Yu'er."
"Miss Su, I want to ask you to borrow some silver taels." Yu'er was a little embarrassed.
"My father, who is not angry, lost the gambling money again, and if he doesn't pay it back, people will take his life." Yu'er said this, tears gushed out and fell on Su Zhenzhen's hands. The reason why Yu'er asked Su Zhenzhen to borrow money is because Zhang's mother values Su Zhenzhen very much now, and she thinks that Zhang's mother will definitely give Su Zhenzhen some benefits. That's why Yu'er came to this mouth.
"He treated you like this, sold you to the Qinglou, don't you resent him?" Su Zhenzhen felt very incomprehensible, her biological father treated Yu'er like this, and Yu'er had to borrow money for him and worry about him.
"Naturally, there is resentment, but in the end, he is still Yu'er's biological father, and Yu'er has no way to turn a blind eye." Yu'er cried.
"Alas, you can take these silver taels." Su Zhenzhen took out a purse from her sleeve and stuffed it to Yu'er.
Yu'er looked at Su Zhenzhen with teary eyes, her eyes full of gratitude.
"Stop crying." Su Zhenzhen hugged Yu'er distressedly.
"Miss Su, thank you, I will definitely find a way to give you these silver taels."
"Don't worry, don't worry, you can take it to your father for help. You have to tell him to quit gambling, or I won't be able to help you next time." ”
"Yu'er understands, Yu'er will definitely admonish her father, thank you Miss Su, then I'll go first." Yu'er wiped her tears and said with red eyes.
After sending Yu'er away, Su Zhenzhen began to eat, and not long after, the old woman came.
"Mother Zhang, you're here."
"Miss Su, how are you preparing tonight?"
"Please also rest assured that Mother Zhang, Su Zhenzhen will not let you down."
