Chapter 138: No More Wants
Hearing this answer, Zhang Guifei showed an expression of "I see", as if she really knew who Miss Su was. Seeing Zhang Yunhua who turned around, the concubine Niangniang carefully confirmed his appearance when he was a teenager from that delicate face: Yes, it is still the same Hua'er back then, but the innocent and clear eyes of the year added a little calmness and perseverance.
Zhang Guifei looked at Su Mengtang lovingly, she repeatedly looked at the appearance of the two people in front of her, and said movingly: "Okay, they are all good children." Let's go inside. Her voice became cheerful, holding Su Mengtang with her left hand and Zhang Yunhua with her right hand, and walked towards the hall of Qingpingzhai. Zhang Yunhua didn't do anything to object, let her lead, Xiao Langjun and a few other little maids saw this, so they hugged her with a spring breeze on their faces, and sent the three of them into the hall, and for a while, the air in Qingpingzhai became lively.
When he entered the house, Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng had already brought two bowls of tea cups with a smile and placed them on the two guest seats on the east side. As the old servants of the Zhang family, they were very aware of the events of the year, and now they are very happy to see the little young master and the Zhang family reconcile. Zhang Guifei said with a smile: "Don't put it so far, quickly put those two chairs and a few cases in front of me, I haven't seen each other for a long time, I want to catch up with Hua'er." She seemed to notice that this sentence had snubbed Su Mengtang, and added: "Let me get to know Miss Su well, and I will be a family member in the future." ”
Su Mengtang's heart beat like a drum when she heard this, she looked at Zhang Yunhua with shy eyes, and saw that Zhang Yunhua was smiling at her, so she quickly lowered her head. Zhang Guifei saw this scene in her eyes, smiled and beckoned the two of them to take a seat: "What is this, come and sit down, Miss Su's name, I know it early in the morning." Isn't it, Hua'er? ”
Zhang Yunhua doesn't seem to like others who repeatedly joke about his relationship with Su Mengtang, even if the other party is Zhang Zhong'er, it sounds good. Therefore, his face was indifferent and he didn't answer, at this time the two palace maids came over and put two plates of pine nuts and tea fruits on a few cases, Zhang Yunhua grabbed a handful of tea fruits and gently put them in the hands of Su Mengtang, who was sitting next to him, and silently comforted her not to mind.
"I've been here for a long time, and I don't know where you two have gone, so I've been waiting, and after a while, I should go back." Zhang Guifei asked the palace maids to retreat outside the door to guard, picked up the tea by herself, gently blocked the tea with the lid of the cup, and took a sip gently. Zhang Yunhua said bluntly: "A friend of Miss Su and I was arrested in Wanghailou next to the West Lake, and it took us a lot of trouble to come back. ”
Zhang Guifei was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly put down her cup and asked, "Who is so bold as to dare to arrest people in broad daylight?" Zhang Yunhua smiled lightly and said, "Except for Shi Miyuan's party, who else in the DPRK dares to act like this?" Hearing Shi Miyuan's name, Zhang Guifei's eyes flickered, and she seemed to be a little jealous, she knew Zhang Yunhua's hatred of Shi Miyuan, and she also knew that the official family had been permissive and obedient to Shi Miyuan over the years, so she was worried that saying something wrong would cause Zhang Yunhua to be estranged from her.
Seeing that Zhang Guifei didn't say a word, Zhang Yunhua said again: "When we saw the carriage outside the door before, we thought it was Shi Miyuan here, so Mengtang and I made up our minds to come in, but we didn't expect it to be a little aunt." When Zhang Guifei heard Yunhua call her "little aunt" again, she was very moved, and she wanted to take the opportunity to reconcile the relationship between Zhang Yunhua and her family:
"It was me, I heard that Qingzhou entered the palace that day, and I expected that you must have come to Lin'an, so I told the official family today, saying that I wanted to go home and sit down, so I went straight here. Hua'er, after so many years, the misunderstanding should always be resolved, the old and young in the family are very worried about you, after all, the fourth brother only has you, the only son, he ......"
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zhang Yunhua: "Don't talk about this today, little aunt, I will naturally go back when it's time to go back, now is not the time." "Okay, then let's not go back first," Zhang Guifei hurriedly smiled and changed her words: "Now that Qingzhou has also come to Lin'an as an official, and Miss Su is taking care of you by your side, you are in Lin'an together, and we elders can rest assured." ”
She paused for a moment, and then said, "Hua'er, why don't you also get an official position for you in the court?" I'll tell you—" She leaned forward and lowered her voice, "The official family now also wants to emulate the ancient sages and make great efforts, this is a good opportunity for you and a son like Cheongju to serve the country, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Yunhua and Zhang Guifei glanced at each other, lowered their heads and peeled the pine nuts in their hands and said, "I can't do it." "If he is an official in the court, then Qiuqiu will also follow him to Lin'an, and it will be inevitable that there will be a lot of social interactions, which will be too easy to be discovered. Zhang Guifei smiled and said, "The little aunt is just proposing, don't worry Hua'er." I'm just thinking that since you have a relationship with Miss Su, you should start a family earlier, so that Miss Su can have something to rely on. Miss Su, don't you say? ”
Su Mengtang replied softly when she heard this: "The concubine has misunderstood, Brother Yunhua and I have not yet reached the point of talking about marriage. Even then, I don't care if he is an official or not, as long as he can be safe and happy, I have nothing else to ask for. After she said this, she glanced at Yun Hua, and saw a hint of relief in the smile in his eyes.
The two of them looked at each other, and they didn't notice that there was a trace of dissatisfaction in Zhang Guifei's gaze at Su Mengtang, but for a moment, her eyes when she looked at them became extremely kind again. "When will the little aunt return to the palace? It will be getting dark, and when the dusk drum sounds, the palace gate will probably be closed. Zhang Yunhua was still peeling pine nuts in his hand, and suddenly asked.
"Don't worry, the official family will allow me to return to the palace before the beginning of the year. Recently, the official family has been busy with government affairs, and has never been out of the Funing Hall before the end of the year. How? After only sitting for a while, you drove me back? Zhang Guifei laughed while talking: "Hua'er is now the master of Qingpingzhai, I will come here, eat a meal and then leave, it should be a matter of course, I also want to try Miss Su's craftsmanship." She patted Mengtang's hand, looking very child-like.
Before Su Mengtang could answer, Zhang Yunhua had already spoken: "Where is the little aunt a guest, Miss Su is my rare guest in Qingpingzhai, give the meal to Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng to clean up, I still have something to do with Mengtang, so I won't accompany me." So saying, he got up and left. Zhang Guifei hurriedly said: "It's for your friend, Hua'er, are you going to rush into the Prime Minister's Mansion with Miss Su immediately?" ”
Seeing that Zhang Yunhua stood still, Zhang Guifei continued: "Prime Minister Shi Cheng took people away, I am afraid that he has his own purpose, if he breaks through, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to save his friends, but you and Miss Su will also be in danger." Zhang Guifei analyzed earnestly. What is the opinion of the little aunt? "It's better for me to come forward and help you with this, but you have to let me know the identity of this friend and why Shi Miyuan took this person away, otherwise, when I arrive at the Prime Minister's Mansion, I don't know how to mediate for you."
Yunhua and Mengtang glanced at each other, and they both felt that this method was feasible. Yun Hua sat down again and asked, "If the little aunt comes forward, is it dangerous?" Zhang Guifei blinked her eyes and said: "Prime Minister Shi Cheng arrested people privately, thinking that it was also for personal vendettas, and he didn't want to make everyone know." I just relied on the official family's great grace to me to ask him for personal favors. If I had spoken, he would probably not have disobeyed. ”
Zhang Yunhua nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Then bother my little aunt to go this way, can I go with my aunt?" Zhang Guifei slowly shook her head and said, "No need, Hua'er, I'll take a detour to the Prime Minister's Mansion later, and negotiate a few words with him through the honor guard." Now you should tell me how this friend offended the prime minister. ”
