When Concubine Yu was trying to find a way to tactfully plead in front of the emperor for Princess Yongping, Princess Yongping had already arrived outside the palace of Zhao Guo. And coincidentally, she happened to bump into Zhang Shou, who was helping Wu down from the carriage.

Although in the past, when I came to and from Zhao Guogong's Mansion, Zhang Shou or Wu's family, if it was from home, most of it was for convenience, and went directly to the back door, but because today was a small year, Zhang Shou accompanied Wu to go to the temple to incense, and planned to have lunch at Zhao Guogong's Mansion at the invitation of Zhu Ying, and then sacrifice to the stove in the evening.

The two sides looked at each other and looked at each other quietly, and Wu was suddenly a little surprised. If Zhu Ying is a peony with a beautiful national color, then the girl with a noble temperament in front of her is like an orchid in the empty valley, although her eyes are faint, but people dare not look directly. Just as she was thinking in her heart, which daughter was it, she heard Zhang Shou speak.

"I've seen Princess Yongping."

Wu was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly followed Zhang Shou, who gave his hand. And what surprised her even more was that Princess Yongping actually came straight to their mother and son, and her eyes, which were originally very cold, looked at Zhang Shou seriously, and then laughed, but there was no joy in the voice. At that moment, she couldn't help but have a very nonsensical thought.

She also recently learned that she only thought that she was a relative of Zhao Guogong's Mansion, and another woman who was brought back by Widow Zhang together with Mrs. Zhao Guo turned out to be Concubine Yu. Therefore, Ah Shou and Zhu Ying and Princess Yongping were born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, and they naturally have a great relationship with each other. Zhu Ying fell in love with Zhang Shou at first sight before, wouldn't Princess Yongping be the same?

Seeing that Zhang Shou calmly did not avoid his gaze, Princess Yongping thought that when she chose her son-in-law before, her father still wanted to pull Zhang Shou to accompany her for reference, and the new textile machine that was the focus of the dispute between the eldest prince and the second prince this time is also said to be from Zhang Shou's hand...... She couldn't help but feel more and more complicated.

"Zhang Shou, I really lost my eyes on you." As she spoke, she raised her head, trying her best to look calm and indifferent, and said word by word, "Zhu Ying's luck is better than mine, but that's what she deserves." I've always hated her, but of course she has such and such shortcomings, but she is frank and unrestrained, I hope you won't let her down in the future! ”

Speaking of this, Princess Yongping entered the gate without looking back. As a royal princess, even if Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang do not welcome each other personally, she is also qualified to let the Duke of Zhao Mansion open the main door. And Zhang Shoumu sent the gate to close slowly after Princess Yongping entered, and he carried Wu into through the West Corner Gate. The porter who greeted him was polite and courteous, but when he wanted to give him a few more steps, he was dismissed with a smile.

When he left the gate area, Wu said in a low voice: "Ah Shou, what did Princess Yongping mean by those words to you just now?" What does it mean to be out of sight? Could it be that she still looked down on you in the past? ”

"Mother, what do you want to do with this." Zhang Shou didn't want to mention the matter of the original Yuehua Lou Wenhui, and quietly prevaricated, "Listen, didn't she warn me not to disappoint Yingying?" She and Yingying were born on the same day, the same month, and the relationship has not been so harmonious, but she didn't expect that on key issues, she would still be towards her. ”

Wu was successfully distracted by Zhang Shou, and immediately smiled: "You are all still young, where is there any great contradiction, but the children are angry with each other." This Princess Yongping has a noble bearing, graceful and noble, although it is completely different from the impression given by Yingying, but she is definitely a good girl...... By the way, didn't you help the emperor choose a son-in-law before? ”

Zhang Shou suddenly secretly screamed badly. Sure enough, the next moment, Wu immediately asked: "Didn't your Banshan Hall have a colt and two honor guests?" I think Princess Yongping is not too young, didn't she settle on someone this time? ”

Wu suddenly turned into three aunts and six wives in the market, and asked about Princess Yongping's marriage, Zhang Shou was helpless, and could only vaguely say that Princess Yongping was a talented woman, so the emperor didn't choose the right one for a while, and planned to help her take a good look at it, so he finally dealt with this problem. When the mother and son came all the way to the second gate, they saw that Li's mother was already waiting there.

"Wu Niangzi, Shou Gongzi." Mother Li curtsked with a smile and bowed, and then explained, "Concubine Yu sent Princess Yongping to deliver things, so Madame took her in first." She won't linger too long, she won't miss dinner. ”

That's right...... Wu only felt a little sweaty on his forehead, and the princess came to this Zhao State Mansion, but she seemed to be disliked? And Zhang Shou laughed and said: "Mother Li, why do you seem to have a prejudice against Princess Yongping?" ”

Mother Li realized that her words were a little too much, and she quickly slapped her mouth, and then said with a wry smile: "Fortunately, it was heard by the two of you, otherwise I would have committed a big taboo!" Alas, the last time Princess Yongping came, it is said that she said something very excessive, so Mrs. was sullen for several days, and Mrs. Tai was also very angry, and those of us who were subordinates were inevitably a little unhappy. ”

"Of course, no matter how unhappy you are, that's not a reason to criticize the princess behind your back, so Shou Gongzi, please forget what I said."

Wu knew that he was shallow, so he was silent at the moment, and Zhang Shou naturally would not make a big fuss about this kind of issue, so he said with a smile at the moment: "Mrs. Tai and Aunt Jiu have always been broad-minded, and this matter will end with us." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you." Mother Li agreed, and then took Zhang Shou and Wu to Qing'an Hall. Xiao Chinese New Year's Eve invited this mother and son to come to the festival together, it was the wife and the lady who discussed, Zhu Ying raised her hands in approval, so she had some resentment towards the uninvited Princess Yongping. At this time, while talking about various preparations, she quietly inquired about Zhang Shou's Chinese New Year's Eve arrangements.

Because, Zhu Ying grinds hard bubbles, hoping that Zhang Shou can also bring the Wu family over at noon on Chinese New Year's Eve to have fun, as for the evening, she has no rut, and she can't let the mother and son run to other people's families to reunite at night.

However, Zhang Shou's answer surprised her: "On Chinese New Year's Eve, the teacher sent someone to talk to me more than a month ago, and asked me and my mother to accompany him, an old man who lives alone and lonely." My wife is long gone, and his children and grandchildren are not around, and there is no one around who knows cold and hot, so I naturally agreed to him, but I can't stand Mrs. Tai, Aunt Jiu and Yingying. ”

Speaking of this, he said with a smile: "The teacher said that his grandson will be transferred back to Beijing next year." Wait for the next Chinese New Year, I will definitely take my mother to the house for a mid-year dinner. There are many people, and everyone wants to celebrate. ”

Li's mother was immediately overjoyed. The next time the New Year, Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying will definitely be married, and at that time, Zhang Shou can take Zhu Ying back to the Zhao Guogong Mansion for the New Year, which is more sincere than coming to the New Year together this year. You must know that after a woman gets married, of course, she spends the New Year's holidays at the man's house, and even if it is lunch, she may not go back to her parents' house!

Nowadays, there are still people outside the world, and they all say that Zhang Shou is the son-in-law of the Zhao Guogong Mansion, but Zhang Shou doesn't care about this, and at this time, he is calmly gossiping about the future, which shows this open-mindedness!

"Uncle told Mrs. Tai and Mrs. these words, they must be happy! At that time, you will be the son-in-law of Chenglong in the house! ”

She unconsciously brought out the word uncle again, and when she arrived at the hall in front of Qing'an Hall, she saw Zhu Ying standing there looking left and right, and when she saw their group, she immediately rushed over, and she couldn't help laughing.

And Zhang Shou even quipped: "Princess Yongping is here, and you won't accompany Yingying?" ”

"I'm a mortal enemy with her, why should I stay with her?" Zhu Ying raised her eyebrows angrily, but when she came into contact with Zhang Shou's sight, she unnaturally looked away and muttered in a low voice, "It was my grandmother and my mother who drove me out and asked Mother Jiang to guard the door." I can't listen to what Yongping's girl says, it's just weird! ”

On that day, Princess Yongping came to see Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang, and Mother Li, like everyone else, heard her claim that she was unwilling to marry, as for what she said to Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang later, she was ordered to retreat away and she didn't dare to eavesdrop, of course, she really didn't know. So at this time, seeing Zhu Ying's face full of depression as to why I can't listen, she can't help it.

And Zhang Shou didn't know even more, and he didn't want to know. Seeing that Zhu Ying was depressed, he stepped forward and quietly grabbed her hand, and then said with a smile: "Since there are guests here in Qing'an Hall, how about we go to your second brother's Purple Smoke Pavilion?" Guozijian is on vacation this time, and I have assigned homework to the inmates of Banshan Hall, just to see how he is doing! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Ying immediately forgot the little unhappiness just now, and said happily: "Okay, it's time for a surprise attack!" My second brother came back from the vacation of Guozijian this time, he worked hard, and he didn't come out of the study all day long, but I don't believe that he worked so hard to change his temperament! Ah Shou, let's go! ”

Seeing that Zhu Ying actually dragged Zhang Shou away with her backhand, Li's mother couldn't help but shake her head. But seeing Wu smiling and watching Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying leave, not only did she not persuade, but she was happy to see it, she secretly sighed that the eldest lady had such a temper, but it was also a good thing to meet such a mother-in-law.

Since it was a sudden attack, Zhu Ying naturally ordered people to go to the vicinity of the Purple Smoke Pavilion on the road, in case Zhu Er let people go early to watch the wind. After making sure that Zhu Er did not have such preparations, she pulled Zhang Shou with peace of mind and went straight forward.

Because Zhu Er ordered the mandarin duck spectrum before, now there are only two of his little servants who have been with him for many years, and the rest have new faces. At this moment, two old faces were stared at by four new faces, and they didn't even dare to shout a reminder. And Zhu Ying asked a few people one by one, and found that everyone didn't know what Zhu Er was doing in the room, so she simply pulled Zhang Shou to the door.

However, Zhang Shou originally used Zhu Er as a pretense to save Zhu Ying from holding Princess Yongping to see Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang, and at this time, how could he really let Miss Zhu break in so aggressively. He grabbed Zhu Ying's wrist, then shook his head at the person, and then pulled her behind him, but beckoned a small servant to come over.

He whispered a few words to the person in a low voice, and the little guy immediately shouted very cleverly: "Second young master, Princess Yongping has come to see Mrs. Tai and Mrs. ”

Seeing that there was no movement in the room, the little girl repeated it again, and soon, an impatient voice came from inside: "She came to care about me, anyway, she doesn't look down on me, so I don't bother to put a hot face on her cold ass!" Get out! ”

Zhu Ying saw that the little guy was scolded and shrunk her head, she almost didn't laugh out loud. Immediately after, she saw Zhang Shou teaching the little guy again, and the person quickly mustered up the courage to shout: "Second young master, Shou Gongzi happened to meet Princess Yongping in front of the door, and after saying a few words, Princess Yongping went to see Mrs. Tai and Mrs., I heard that Shou Gongzi was asking the eldest lady at the door of Qing'an Hall about your homework!" ”

Zhang Shou dragged Zhu Ying to the side of the blind spot. Sure enough, in a few moments, the door to the study was pulled open from inside. Zhu Er, who came out, didn't look to the side at all, staring at the little guy, his face twitching.

"He's embarrassed to ask Yingying about my homework? It's so easy to take such a few days off, I don't even dare to go out, I do all the homework and arithmetic problems he assigned at home! He only talks about the basics of arithmetic in the middle of the mountain, but look at those questions, are they for people? ”

The little guy didn't expect his young master to complain directly to him, and after being stunned for a while, he deliberately whispered: "Young master, it's not necessarily going to be done, right?" Can't you fool yourself with a few random strokes? Besides, Lu Sangongzi is not a well-known genius in arithmetic, you really can't do it, and it's the same to find him......"

"Am I not going to let that fat man laugh at me?" Zhu Er suddenly roared, "I won't beg that dead fat man even if I die!" Dare to pretend to be mediocre and incompetent, if he wasn't also a student of my brother-in-law, I would have broken off relations with him a long time ago! Anyway, spring break isn't over yet, and he can't check my homework now...... Don't bother me, I still have to memorize a few Tang poems to deal with Xiao Cheng's little guy! ”

Seeing the door slamming shut in front of him, the little guy suddenly touched his nose, and saw Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying coming over together again in the corner, so he hurriedly whispered: "I dare to guarantee, there is absolutely no ventilation report, the second young master must really be in Wen Shu, yesterday I also found a pile of paper with all kinds of numbers written in the paper basket!" ”

Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing. Zhu Er had never been to Cuiyun at that time, and later in Guozijian, Banshan Hall and Jiuzhangtang were two different things, so even if Lu Sanlang was good at Jiuzhangtang, Zhu Er had never been convinced of Lu Sanlang's talent, which was reasonable. Of course, this breathlessness may not make him go to the next level in his studies, but at least it is a promotion.

He didn't go in at the moment, pulled Zhu Ying back to those little guys, and whispered with a smile: "Remember, Yingying and I haven't been here." Otherwise, the second young master knows, and each of you is guilty of not reporting it. ”

Seeing that a few little guys were suddenly silent, and nodded again and again, he pulled Zhu Ying to turn around and walk out. And when she got outside, Zhu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I really didn't expect that the second brother would have such a day to compete with others!" Hey, Ah Shou, you said that if I told him that the emperor was a matchmaker for him and the niece of the Shuntian Mansion Wang Dayin family, would he be more motivated? ”

Zhang Shou was suddenly surprised. Zhu Er? With Wang Jie's niece? But if the niece of Wang Datou's family has the stubbornness and ability of Wang Datou, Zhu Er will be miserable in the future! Of course, he can guarantee that the girl from the Wang family must be a good wife and mother, but that kind of virtuousness, it is estimated that Zhu Er can burst into tears, but it is definitely in line with the requirements put forward by this guy in front of the emperor.

He asked Zhu Ying a few words in a low voice, and when he saw that he was embarrassed to say that he had initially promised the emperor to keep it secret, and then revealed Wang Jie's attitude, after thinking about it, he finally smiled: "Don't tell your second brother first, after all, the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet." ”

"The most important thing is that we unintentionally plant willows and willows, just like we did at the beginning, this matter, it depends on fate!"
