Chapter 39: Zhang Wanqing's thoughts
When she returned home, Xiaoya had already fallen asleep. Only Zhang Wanqing is still tirelessly fiddling with her loom, Su Ziheng has already persuaded her once last time, knowing that she is empty in her heart and has no sustenance, so she will weave when she has nothing to do.
In the past, his family was in trouble, and Su Zhe was busy studying hard and did not produce at all. There is also a younger sister to take care of at home, Zhang Wanqing has to weave desperately every day in exchange for silver taels to support the family, and she doesn't have so much time to think nonsense.
Later, when Su Zhe suffered a head injury and was bedridden, it was as if the sky had fallen at home. Zhang Wanqing didn't know how to deal with herself, even when her husband Su Jian went to join the army, there was no news for three years, and she was not so helpless.
Maybe it's because she doesn't have much relationship with Su Jian, and she never saw her husband before she got married. After getting married, because of something, her husband treated her like a femme fatale, and didn't even touch her, so that she was widowed for three years.
Later, Su Jian took the opportunity to join the army to avoid her, and left her a letter of resignation before leaving.
Originally, Zhang Wanqing didn't have to stay in the Su family, but not long after her husband joined the army, her father-in-law became seriously ill. Su Zhe was just a stupid scholar at that time, and he may be very talented in reading, but he can't take care of his family.
Faced with this situation, how could Zhang Wanqing leave selfishly, she didn't even take out the letter of resignation, and continued to stay in the Su family as the eldest wife of the Su family to take care of her father-in-law and uncle.
Although her father-in-law was seriously ill and was not rescued, Zhang Wanqing still took care of Su Zhe carefully, and after three years, she unconsciously regarded him as her little brother. After three years of getting along day and night, they have long been regarded as a family.
Zhang Wanqing was happy that he was admitted to Xiucai, sad and sad for his injury, and even more happy about his awakening. Until today, when she heard the news of his engagement, she was dazed, lost, and had nowhere to put her heart. In the future, there will be another woman to take care of him in his place, and he no longer needs his sister-in-law to help him with household chores and everything.
As soon as she thought of this, Zhang Wanqing's heart was panicked, empty, as if something precious was missing. Even if Su Ziheng brought back a hundred taels of silver two days ago, so that he didn't have to work hard for this family anymore and could live an easy life, it didn't offset the current loss.
Su Ziheng watched Zhang Wanqing absentmindedly shaking the loom, and didn't even notice that a piece of twine was misplaced. He originally wanted to greet her, but suddenly fell silent, and stood quietly behind her like this, not knowing what he was thinking.
It wasn't until Zhang Wanqing came back to her senses that she suddenly realized that there was a figure behind her, and her face turned pale with fright, and her right hand secretly held the scissors in the dustpan where the sundries were placed, so she dared to turn around.
After Zhang Wanqing turned around and saw that it was Su Ziheng, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the scissors in her hand also fell back into the dustpan, and she smiled reluctantly: "Uncle, it turns out that you are back." Why don't you make a sound? ”
Su Ziheng looked at her, and when he opened his mouth for a while, he found that his voice was a little out of voice, "Sister-in-law...... Sister-in-law, if you feel unhappy in the Su family, you can leave by yourself. In the future, the Su family will have nothing to do with you. ”
The implication of Su Ziheng's words is that no matter what happens in the future, you can remarry if you want, and the Su family will not pursue it.
Zhang Wanqing's face turned pale when she heard this, and she said in a panic: "Uncle, you, do you want to drive the slave family out?" ”
Su Ziheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "Sister-in-law, there is nothing to do." I'm just looking at you......"
Before he finished his words, he was immediately interrupted by Zhang Wanqing, "As long as you don't mean to drive the slave family out of the house, uncle, the slave family won't go anywhere." ”
Su Ziheng smiled bitterly, and saw that Zhang Wanqing was emotional, and it was not easy to say anything for a while, so he changed the topic and said: "Sister-in-law, it's not early, and the little girl will have to apprentice tomorrow, so it's better to rest early." ”
Zhang Wanqing seemed to have won the battle with Su Ziheng, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Uncle, go back to the room to rest first, and the slave family will go to sleep after weaving the remaining bit of cloth." ”
Su Ziheng said to her: "Then the little brother will go back to the room first." ”
When he turned around and was about to go back to the room, he suddenly heard Zhang Wanqing ask in a slightly worried tone, "Uncle, what do you think of Xiaoya's master?" ”
Su Ziheng paused, slowly shook his head and said, "I only met once that day, and I don't know where she came from." But it's not worth her to come to our house, so let's do it for the time being, and then slowly observe it later. Anyway, it's always right to let Xiaoya learn more skills. ”
"Well, the slave family listens to the uncle." Zhang Wanqing said happily.
……
……
In the early morning of the next day, Xiaoya got up from the bed early, and she got up earlier than Su Ziheng.
When washing, she even prepared willow branches for Su Ziheng. In the past few days since he woke up, Su Ziheng felt the most inconvenient thing was brushing his teeth. Every time, I bite the willow branch with my teeth, and then brush my teeth with the wood fiber inside, and every time I get wood chips in my mouth, and the taste is very strange.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many things in the past few days, Su Ziheng would even want to make a toothbrush by himself. He heard that there are already bone, horn, bamboo, wood and other materials outside, and there are two rows of pores drilled on the head and a toothbrush with a ponytail planted, but the price is relatively expensive, and not many people can afford it.
Su Ziheng looked at the little girl and couldn't help but laugh. I remembered a similar experience in the past, and I remember the first time the school held an autumn outing, I was excited for half a night and didn't sleep, and I crawled out before dawn the next day to prepare the autumn outing items. As a result, I fell asleep in the car and missed a lot of beautiful scenery.
Su Ziheng knew that she was excited, so she had to go. After exercising in the morning, Su Ziheng picked up a borrowed book and flipped through it in the yard. Xiaoya and Zhang Wanqing went to the market to buy fresh ingredients.
Since it is an apprenticeship, it is necessary to prepare an apprenticeship banquet. Su Ziheng saw that the ghost-faced Taoist aunt had a strange appearance, and she didn't want to eat in a large court such as a restaurant, so he suggested that Zhang Wanqing do it at home.
And he didn't plan to invite outsiders to watch the ceremony, because he still couldn't figure out what kind of person the ghost-faced Daogu was, and he was afraid that too many people would make her unhappy, but it would not be beautiful.
Just after the hour, Su Ziheng heard a commotion at the door. When I opened the door, Zhang Wanqing, Xiaoya and Ghost-faced Daogu walked in from the outside hand in hand.
The little girl jumped up and down to Su Ziheng's side and said happily: "Uncle, just now my sister and I were shopping for vegetables in the market and met Master. ”
Su Ziheng touched her head and said with a smile: "Have you said hello to your master?" ”
Xiaoya nodded and said loudly: "I've already said hello, the master said that I haven't apprenticed yet, so I don't need to be so polite." ”
Su Ziheng turned his head to look at the ghost-faced Daogu, this was the second time he had seen her. Su Ziheng rolled the book in his hand, inserted it into his waist, walked in front of her, raised his fists with both hands, stretched his hands forward, bent down and said, "Under Su Ziheng, I have seen the girl." ”
Xie Qingxuan avoided slightly, and also replied with a big gift, "Xie Qingxuan has seen Su Gongzi." ”
