The next day, the sun was shining.

Zhang Rou took Ah Fu, pulled a cart of gifts, and slowly went to the palace.

"Miss, do we need to give so many gifts? Besides, he didn't really save you! Wouldn't it be enough for me to ask me to give a gift? You still need to go in person! Ah Fu was very distressed when he looked at a large cart of gifts, and tried very hard to change his young lady's mind.

"Let's do this just to show everyone that our Zhang family is a reasonable and sensible family, this gift is nothing to our family, so we should buy peace! Do you really think that people came to save people yesterday? I'm also trying to make them less struggling. ”

Ah Fu touched his head and asked suspiciously, "Isn't it?" Didn't so many people see it yesterday? ”

"This is where he is clever, he played a serial trick for us in front of everyone's eyes, it is a hero to save the beauty, and it is a bitter meat trick, and he sings well!" Zhang Roupi said with a smile.

"Miss, the old slave still doesn't understand!"

"You! I was really deceived by others! Think about it, yesterday was the Lantern Festival, the government must have paid attention to the order of lantern appreciation, who dares to blatantly chase on the street with weapons, are those officials blind! And none of them bumped into me, but they just bumped into me, and at this time, someone happened to be waiting there in a flat boat, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? Everyone is admiring the lanterns, who would be so bored with a small boat, either crazy or stupid. ”

"Ahh Ah Fu screamed in surprise, and immediately covered his mouth again, "Are you saying that someone deliberately set up everything last night...... Now that you know everything, why do you want to say thank you? ”

"Because people are willing to pay for it! actually went into the water to play bitter tricks on such a cold day, and in front of everyone's eyes, presumably his good name should have spread all over the city! Zhang Rou said helplessly.

In Jinling City, after the Jiangning Mansion, Wang Xianyou was lying on the Taishi chair and sipping tea, full of comfort.

"Master, there are people outside the door asking to see you, this is their name." A servant took the name slip and respectfully handed it to Wang Xianyou.

He was very surprised to see the name card signed by Zhang's Mansion, and raised his head and instructed the servant: "Let them go to the guest room and wait, and I will be there later, master." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Zhang Rou and his entourage came to the guest room under the guidance of the palace servants, and after a while, Wang Xianyou was late.

"The folk girl Zhang Rou visits the prefect!" Zhang Rou saw Wang Xianyou coming, and hurriedly got up to salute.

"Haha...... Hurry up and get free! The old man has heard the name of 'strange girl' for a long time, and he is very happy to see it today! Come on...... No need to be formal, let's sit down and talk. Wang Xianyou smiled and motioned for her to sit down before he said to the servant next to him, "Your Excellency has come to the door, go and make the best tea." ”

"I'm sorry to disturb my lord, this is a little bit of a girl, not a tribute, I hope to smile!" Zhang Rou motioned for Ah Fu to present the gift to Wang Xianyou.

Wang Xianyou subconsciously took the gift post, glanced at it at first, couldn't help frowning, looked at Zhang Rou puzzled, and asked, "Little lady, what does this mean?" Why do you give such a big gift to this house? If the government is determined to act according to the law, it does not have to be so. ”

"My lord is too worried, the folk girl has heard that the adult is honest and strict, but I don't dare to let these vulgar things stain your eyes, the folk girl came here mainly to thank your son for saving his life yesterday."

"Oh, and this matter, the dog hasn't mentioned it to the old man yet!" Wang Xianyou was also surprised to hear that his son still had this ability, and hurriedly instructed the housekeeper next to him: "Butler, go and call the eldest young master to the guest room." ”

"Back to the old man...... The eldest young master didn't return all night last night, and he hasn't seen the eldest young master today. The butler replied to Wang Xianyou embarrassedly.

"This little rabbit cub is angry with the old man, the old man is not strict with his children, which makes the little lady laugh!" Wang Xianyou smiled awkwardly at Zhang Rou.

"My lord's words are serious, your son must be a friend! Since the noble son is not here, the folk girl will leave first! ”

"The little girl stays, can you eat first?"

"My lord, please stay, the folk girl will not trouble the adult, please tell your son, just say that the folk girl is insignificant, don't dare to let him take great pains in the future, the folk girl can't afford it!" Zhang Rou said with a smile.

"In that case, the little lady will go slowly, and I will not be far away!" Wang Xianyou sent it to the door and said.

"Your Excellency, please come back!"

"Butler, go and get that son of a son back for the master!" After Zhang Rou and his party left, Wang Xianyou's face immediately collapsed, and he commanded the housekeeper sharply.

The housekeeper took a group of family members and finally found Wang Xuanen, who was sleeping soundly, in Cuihong Mansion, and hurried home with him.

Xiao Wang yawned and said to Lao Wang: "Dad, what are you doing!" I was sleeping soundly, and you called me back in a hurry, what's the matter? ”

"Bunny! Tell me, what did you do yesterday? Wang Xianyou saw his son's ghostly appearance, so he didn't get angry, and naturally he didn't have a good face for him, and when he met, he scolded him.

"Didn't do anything! What's going on? Wang Xuanen nibbled on the snack in his hand nonchalantly.

"Haven't done anything yet! The little lady of the Zhang family came to the door in person today. ”

"That's what you say! Here's the thing......" Speaking of his "feat", Wang Xuanen immediately became energetic, and told his father with high interest about the heroic rescue incident he planned to save the United States.

Lao Wang listened to the whole process, sighed and said: "It seems that your group of fox friends still have a bit of brains, but you have used the wrong target for this strategy!" ”

"Why not? Although I didn't save her in the end, wouldn't it be more sincere for me to dare to jump into such a cold river? ”

"If it were someone else, I believe your trick would work, but don't forget that she is known as the smartest person in Jinling, and if you play these tricks in front of her, it is estimated that everyone will see through it. No wonder people use it as a gift, but it is strange to speak, the old man has never received it, it turns out that the problem is you! Thinking of Zhang Rou's non-referential tone, Wang Xianyu suddenly realized.

"You're saying she knows it's a ploy we made? It can't be, right? She wants to know why she came to the door in person to thank us and give us a big gift? Wang Xuanen was proud of his plan, and of course he didn't want to hear his father say this.

"People are smart people, and they do things without leakage! This matter has to be grasped quickly, the teacher has died, Master Ding has also collapsed, and my father's backer is gone. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has drastic restructuring and promoted many young officials to help, and his father is worried that it will be affected. ”

Wang Xuanen, who had no worries about food and clothing, had never cared about these things, and when he heard that his father was talking about things so seriously, he was very worried, and hurriedly asked, "Then what do you say you should do?" ”

"Propose marriage! Let's go directly to propose, and there is no time to slowly consume it with her. After the reform of the imperial court is stabilized, we will definitely start sorting out the local officials, and we have to deal with this matter before then. Wang Xianyou patted the table and made up his mind.

"At least now the old man is still the same as Jiangning, no matter how rich their Zhang family is, they are just ordinary people, and they must not dare to go against our wishes. Otherwise, she wouldn't have used such a covert way to wake up what you did today, and what you did was not useless at all, at least now the whole city has spread you as a good story, and it has also given us a reason to propose marriage. ”

"What am I going to do then, son?"

"You don't have to do anything, stay at home honestly, just don't go out and fool around recently, and the rest will be arranged for your father!" After speaking, the king walked away with his sleeves.

"Madame, ma'am, no!" Xiao Taohong panted and ran to the ancestral hall and exclaimed loudly to Mrs. Zhang, who was worshipping the Buddha and chanting scriptures.

"You girl, you are shocked, what's wrong!" Mrs. Zhang gave her a blank look and said with a feigned reproach.

Xiao Taohong playfully stuck out her tongue before she said to Mrs. Zhang: "Madam, someone has come to the door to propose!" ”

"Look at your fuss, there have been fewer people proposing marriage over the years!"

"This time it's different, it's our prefect of Jiangning Mansion who came!"

"Ahh Isn't it a matchmaker? Madame asked in surprise.

"There is a matchmaker, but the prefect also came in person, so the young lady asked the slave to call you to take a look! You can't let the young lady discuss the marriage with the prefect by herself! ”

"That's right! What does the eldest lady mean? "Mrs. has always been a person who meditates and worships the Buddha, rarely meddles in the affairs of the Zhang family, and most of the matchmakers who came in the past were sent away.

"The eldest lady wants you not to agree, she said that she doesn't want to marry yet, and wants to wait for the second and third ladies to think about it when they are older."

"Hey! It's all my wife who is useless, but it's a bitter baby! Mrs. Zhang said dejectedly.

Xiao Taohong helped Mrs. Zhang to the living room, and hurriedly saluted Wang Xianyou, who was sitting on the upper seat: "The women of the people meet the prefect, and the adults come to the cold house, it is really brilliant!" ”

"Madame, please get up! This house is only as the father of a child today, and the lady must not be polite! Wang Xianyou immediately smiled and helped her up.

"Sit, sir! Please drink tea! The women have never seen anything in the world, which makes the adults laugh! Mrs. Zhang said respectfully.

"Mrs. Zhang, where are these words, if you haven't seen how the world can teach Ling Ai such an outstanding 'strange girl', don't be humble!"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, this is all God's favor!" Mrs. Zhang waved her hand and said.

"Deserve to drop, deserve to drop! Don't hide it from Mrs., this mansion is cheeky today and wants to marry the beauties of your mansion for the dog! ”

"There are three little girls in the mansion, and I don't know ...... adults"

"As far as this government knows, the three daughters of your mansion, except for Zhang Rou's little lady who is famous in Jiangning, the other two have not yet reached the time to leave the cabinet!"

"What the adults said is, but the women don't have any skills, they haven't taught the little girl well, and she has relied on her to support this family all these years, and our Zhang family is really inseparable from her! Besides, we are just ordinary people, and we can't be wronged by the noble son, and we hope that the adults will be in the middle! Mrs. Zhang said with sincere fear.

When Wang Xianyou heard this, his face changed unnaturally, and he said in a deep voice with a red face: "Listen to Madame, does this mean that you don't look down on me, the prefect?" ”

"How dare you, how dare you, it's the women who don't dare to climb high!"

"Although your family has a great business and is rich in the world, this mansion is also a character who speaks on the ground in Jiangning, so it must not have insulted your mansion! I hope that Mrs. will think about it carefully! Wang Xianyou tried hard to control his anger, but he still had a smiling expression on his face.

"My lord, I'm sorry! I also hope that the adult Haihan! Mrs. Zhang was forced by the majesty of the prefect and could not go against her daughter's wishes, so she had to reply tremblingly.

"Hmph......" Wang Xianyou saw that this old woman was disobeying his wishes again and again, and his anger instantly exploded, he waved his sleeves angrily, and said sharply: "Don't be ashamed of your face, this mansion wants to see, who dares to marry your daughter!" ”

Wang Xianyou strode away after speaking, waved his hand and took away a group of family members and carried the dowry out of the gate of Zhang's house, his face was so heavy that he could squeeze out water.

Mrs. Zhang sat heavily on the chair as if she had lost her support, and let out a long sigh, for her, the majesty of the prefect was still a little unbearable.

"Mother, don't worry! It's okay, my daughter can handle it! Go and rest! Zhang Rou saw that Wang Xianyou had left before coming out of the inner room, and comforted her mother lightly.

"Hey~ ...... evil," Mrs. Zhang shook her head and walked towards her bedroom.
