Chapter 102 Visiting the Marquis of Baoding
Chapter 102 Visiting the Marquis of Baoding
For Zhang Yue, who grew up in an orphanage in his previous life, after being reborn in this world, his father and mother are the two most important characters in his life. It is true that his father Zhang Zuo once had no status in the Zhang family, and he has not made any great achievements so far, but he has never looked down on Zhang Zuo because of this. Others thought that Zhang Zhuo's move was a fluke, and even his mother made such jokes, but after visiting the Guozi Prison, he knew that the prisoners in this year may not have real talents and learning.
It's just that his father wants to enter Beijing to prepare for next year's examination, but such a reason makes him feel very inexplicable. It was probably because he watched more TV dramas than the history of Confucianism, so he had the impression that the new scholars with the title of the gold list were either young men or young talents, but it was hard to imagine what happened to his father in high school. At this time, he really hoped that his father could get a jinshi, and this was really complete.
"Third brother, third brother?"
At first hearing this voice in his ears, Zhang Yue withdrew his spirit from a trance. Seeing that Zhang Qing was staring at him there, and seeing his eldest brother-in-law Meng Jun looking at him with interest, he had to apologize curtly: "Brother-in-law, don't blame, I just thought for a while that my father was coming to Nanjing, and I thought that the eldest brother and the fourth brother had left one after another, so I lost my mind." β
"Don't listen to the third brother's words, don't look at his young age, and he has a ghost in his heart!"
Zhang Qing pursed her lips angrily, seeing Zhang Yue salivating and smiling, she still didn't let him dry after all, she personally picked up the teapot and poured him a glass of water, and then she babbled and instructed, "Although I also want you to stay here for a few more days, this time it was my uncle who mentioned it to my father-in-law, and I always feel that something is not appropriate." After all, I am the daughter of the Zhang family, and there is no reason to take my cousins to live in my in-law's house......"
"You're thinking too much, too." Meng Jun stopped Zhang Qing's nagging at the right time, and said with a smile. "It's rare for my eldest uncle to come back, and there are so many younger brothers and sisters in the family, it's normal for him to think about it, and besides, didn't my father agree without saying a word? If it weren't for the eldest brother who invited Ying to Jin Xiangwei now, I would have invited him to stay for a few days. β
"You, you don't even have a little heart!"
"Okay, okay, I'm just dead-eyed, okay?"
Zhang Yue was used to seeing the gentle and virtuous Zhang Qing before. At this time, seeing her roll her eyes made Xiao Xing laugh and hate, she couldn't help but be stunned. Looking at Meng Jun's picture of a new good man who dotes on his wife, he feels even more breathtaking, and he is a little envious of this loving little couple in his heart. He wanted to make a joke, but after thinking about it, he kept his mouth shut.
Now that he lives in someone else's house, it's better not to annoy the housewife.
The three of them were sitting in the gazebo in the back garden of the Meng family at this time. Although the flowers in the garden are only half blooming, they are colorful with purple and red, goose yellow, pink and blue, plus the verdant green leaves. It's also quite pleasing to the eye. Meng Jun accompanied Zhang Qing and Zhang Yue to talk, and suddenly a girl came to report, saying that Baoding Hou Meng Ying had something to ask him to discuss, so he said hello to Zhang Yue with a smile, got up and walked out of the pavilion.
The husband is gone. Zhang Qing sat down opposite Shi Shiran opposite Zhang Yue, and only after looking at him for a long time did he sneer: "The men of our Zhang family go outside to stand up to the sky, but at home, they are all concubines on the left and one on the right, and the third uncle is the exception." The two in the room were still a last resort. I've been talking to Autumn Scar Amber for a while, and I realized that they have been with you for so many years, and they are still ...... I can't see that you're still so restrained. β
If someone else said this, Zhang Yue wouldn't feel much, but when it came out of Zhang Qing's mouth at this moment, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and it took a long time before he said embarrassedly: "Sister, this has nothing to do with moderation or intemperance." I just ......"
"Don't just be it, you, you're dead-eyed!" After all, she is a married lady, and Zhang Qing is a little more refreshing when she talks now. Her eyes rolled on Zhang Yue's face, and she asked with concern, "I don't know what those two girls think, I just want to remind you, after all, they have been with you day and night for so many years." Although this release may not be able to marry a good family. But good people are picky after all, and you have to pay attention to yourself. Matching the little guy certainly makes. But if they can see it, you can be happy with it. β
"Eldest sister, I will always marry a wife in the future."
Glancing at Zhang Yue's embarrassed expression, Zhang Qing couldn't help but be stunned, and a long-forgotten place in her heart seemed to be lightly touched. After staying for a while, she said angrily: "I just told you in vain, I expect that the third aunt will always have an explanation for these things." It's good that you're single-minded, but you also have to be hearty in this marriage...... Well, I'll find the eldest aunt for details at that time, after all, the famous families in Kaifeng City are not as good as the Jingshi, and there are treacherous nouveau riche like the Jin family! β
In the face of Zhang Qing's unquestionable tone and extremely enthusiastic expression, Zhang Yue had no doubt that she could do what she said - he had never agreed with Jia Baoyu's sentence that her daughter was flesh and bone made of water, and it would be hateful to become a woman - this young woman after marriage is naturally different from a carefree girl, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, there are many things to worry about, and naturally she can't be as free as a boudoir daughter. Only now, he desperately hopes that Zhang Qing will return to the quiet girl he used to be, at least he won't have to worry about his marriage.
Zhang Qing was just stealing half a day of leisure, and now Mrs. Baoding Hou doesn't care about internal affairs, and the affairs of the house are all in charge of her, the little Marquis. Therefore, she and Zhang Yue sat in the pavilion for a while, and gradually there were girls and housekeepers' daughters-in-law to report all kinds of expenses and trivialities. In the end, Zhang Yue almost coaxed and deceived the eldest sister to drive the eldest sister to the small council hall to take charge, and refused Zhang Qing's proposal to leave the two girls to accompany him, and as soon as the others left, they wandered around the small garden.
Naturally, in the small half an hour of leisurely walking, he didn't happen to break through any terrible plots, nor did he have any encounters worth mentioning, let alone any gardeners who seemed to be down-and-out but were extremely powerful and had a background - there were no superfluous people in the garden except him, and I didn't know if there were too many people living in the Meng family now, and the subordinates couldn't transfer them, or Zhang Qing specially ordered him to have such a clean space.
However, just as he was about to return to the house along the path, he saw two people entering the moon gate of the garden from a distanceβone of them was Meng Jun's great uncle, Meng Xian, the commander of the Changshan guards who belonged to Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao; The second of them is his eldest sister Zhang Qing's father-in-law, Baoding Hou Mengying. The two of them discussed something all the way, and they didn't look left and right, so they didn't see him. Along with the warm spring breeze, a few words floated over.
ββ¦β¦ It's not small......"
ββ¦β¦ Those people in Peking don't deserve ......"
ββ¦β¦ Several children of the Zhang family ......"
Zhang Yue was afraid that the two of them would have something important and didn't want to bump into either of them, so the cat bent down and quietly detoured, seeing that Meng Xian and Meng Ying entered the pavilion where he had just sat with Zhang Qing and Meng Jun, and both were facing away from him, he crept out of the garden, but he didn't know that he had just stepped out of the moon gate with one foot, and Meng Xian had a thoughtful glimpse in the pavilion behind.
