Chapter 52: Brothers, One Rope
When Zhang Yue was born, Sanfang had no status in the entire family, and the Dongfang clan had given birth to two sons successively, so as soon as his grandson landed, he became the kind of person who was neglected. Therefore, Sun couldn't get used to the nurse sent by the family, so she simply fed the child herself, although this was not in accordance with the rules, but it also made her pour more feelings and expectations into her son.
However, although the Sun family gave birth to another daughter this time when the Zhang family suffered a great change, the subordinates were more attentive than when she gave birth last time. The stable wife and the nurse have been prepared early, and the girl's daughter-in-law is enthusiastic to take care of them regardless of which room, and in the end, she is directly in the landlord's compartment, which is a treatment that Dongfang's has never had in the past.
Unable to visit his mother who was sitting on the mattress, Zhang Yue stared at his newborn little sister when he had nothing to do. Since she was born at full term, she was a little thin, and there was only a thin layer of fetal hair on her head, revealing an indescribable weakness. No matter how he looked at it, the eyes on that wrinkled little face never opened, and it seemed very unenergetic.
At this time, he stretched out his finger and pressed it lightly on the little face, and then asked the nurse on the side, "How is my sister these days?" ”
This nurse Qin Siniang was not born to the Zhang family, but was just sold into the house not long ago - in Henan, where natural disasters have continued for many years, this situation has always been commonplace - she was originally a simple and responsible little girl, and at this time she smiled innocently: "Young master, the third lady has a big appetite, and she will never give up if she is full every day, and she will sleep when she is full." This can eat and sleep, and it won't take long for the weak quality brought by the mother's womb to be brought over. Didn't the young master think that the third lady was a little fatter? ”
When my sister was born, everyone only cared about the safety of the mother and daughter, Zhang Yue really didn't find out how small she was born, at this time, he looked closely, he felt that she looked a little chubby. secretly laughed that he was concerned about it, so he asked Qin Siniang to take care of it.
After walking out of the door, he shook his head, thinking that his sister's name would have to wait for a while. In this current anxious situation, who can still have the heart to think about this?
He heard that after he read the letter yesterday, his second uncle Zhang You and father Zhang Zuo came back and were also called by the Gu family to discuss things, and Zhang Zhuo didn't even come back all night. Although he knew that his father's ability to do things was not weak, he had an indescribable worry when he thought that Zhang Zuo might be sent to Beijing to handle such a big thing.
Daddy isn't a career guy after all!
Just as he was about to go to the main room to have a look, Zhang Yue suddenly saw his haggard father enter the courtyard gate, and hurriedly greeted him. Looking at the red eyes and dark circles, he knew that Zhang Zhuo must have not slept all night, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, and after entering the door, he habitually called for pearls to pour tea, and found that no one answered, he remembered that pearls were now serving Sun's mattress, and Amber Autumn Marks went to visit the long room, and several little girls were also transferred to the landlord's compartment to help.
"Forget it, I don't know how much I drank in the night of strong tea, and I really don't want to drink tea this time." Zhang Zhuo waved his hand tiredly, and then motioned for his son to sit down beside him, because he said, "Yesterday, an old lady made your suggestion to me and your second uncle, and your second uncle was very surprised. Alas, our Zhang Jiaxuan has been in the family for so many years, and this incident, those old friends have all avoided and refused to see people, which is really chilling. ”
"Dad has suffered a lot of cold eyes this night, and it's really hard." Zhang Yue didn't sit down, but walked straight behind Zhang Zhuo, put his hand on his shoulders for him, and said, "It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and it is also expected that there will be fewer people in the snow at this time. In fact, if someone makes a good relationship at this time, the reward in the future will be thousands of times greater. ”
Zhang Zhuo was a little surprised: "Are you so sure that our Zhang family can survive this hurdle without danger?" ”
"Dad, if there was no explanation from above, Jinyiwei would have come in like a wolf to get people, what kind of face do you need to talk about? Besides, when Mu Qianhu spoke, he intentionally or unintentionally revealed so many hidden secrets, why bother? ”
Zhang Yue suddenly felt that the shoulder under his hand trembled slightly, and there was a sudden strangeness in his heart. It was a long time before he heard a soft sigh from his father in front of him.
"Jinyiwei is the emperor's loyal dog, don't be misled by their attitude. The Sacred Heart is lucky, there are some things that you can't guess and can't think about, otherwise how could Ji Gang die so quickly this time when the commander of the Jinyi Guard was directed? Don't take it for granted, that Mu Ning passed you a little news, at most, it was a personal favor, and it had nothing to do with business...... Don't talk about this, if the family wants to send someone to Beijing, you have to raise a sum of money, I originally left you three thousand taels of silver to marry, this time I have to take it out first, don't blame Daddy. ”
Zhang Yue was pondering the words in front of him, and he didn't care much about the three thousand taels of silver in the back, so he just replied casually: "If the skin doesn't exist, the hair will be attached, I still understand this truth." Besides, I'm still young, why should I be in such a hurry about marrying? He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Daddy's decision to take out the three thousand taels was his own idea, or was it my grandmother's order?" ”
"It's my own idea."
Zhang Zhuo was about to explain a few more sentences, but when the curtain at the front door was lifted, it was Zhang You, who had a scruffy beard and a blue face, who entered the door. When he saw his brother like this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, but he didn't expect the other party to say something sincerely.
"Third brother, if you want to go to Beijing this time, I am afraid that it will cost a lot, so I originally persuaded my mother to use the money and food of the public school. But she insisted on refusing, and insisted on letting Lingxi convert her private room of 15,000 taels of silver into gold. I just discussed it with your second sister-in-law, and I can move about 5,000 taels. The sister-in-law took out 8,000 taels, and said that there were also a lot of belongings in the old house in Nanjing. Even if you don't count those, it's already twenty-eight thousand taels, which is enough. You only won the promotion the year before last, and your income has always been limited, and your third brother and sister have just given birth, so everyone discussed it, and you don't need to pay this money. ”
"How can this work?" Zhang Zhuo was stunned for a moment and immediately stood up, and said solemnly, "Although I can't compare to my sister-in-law and second brother, I can also pay three thousand taels here." Whether it can be used or not, at least it is a piece of my heart. I ran out all night last night, and I saw countless cold eyes, and now I don't want to count on others to borrow, at this time, we can only rely on our own people! ”
The brotherhood in the big family is ordinary, Zhang You himself is a person in the officialdom, and he knows that one is prosperous and one is lost, so he has long dispelled the intention of saying goodbye to his eldest brother, and all he wants to do is to quell this disaster. From this, he thought that the third brother Zhang Zhuo did not get much benefit from the family on weekdays, and now it would be really unreasonable if he asked him to pay to rescue the eldest brother, so he had what he just said. But at this time, in the face of Zhang Zuo's answer, he didn't feel guilty.
"Good brother ......"
He stretched out his hands and pressed them heavily on Zhang Zhuo's shoulders, and then said word by word: "Just for your third brother's righteousness, no matter what happens to Brother Yue in the future, I will definitely try my best to help him...... In times of crisis, we see people's hearts, our Zhang family is good! ”
Zhang Yue on the side saw this situation, and his heart was also agitated, and he almost wanted to follow the mouth to praise his father's good looks. The money is gone, and it can be earned again, but the family's reputation is ruined and cannot be recovered. Zhang Xin is not only the eldest son of the Xiangfu Zhang family, but also the benchmark of this family. If you want to really get through it, you should twist it into a rope when the great disaster comes.
