Zhang Manniang lost weight and looked a little haggard. Something must have happened to make such a thick girl lose weight.

Xu Lanyin invited her into her bedroom, invited her to sit on the kang, and took out the osmanthus glutinous rice dates made in the morning to entertain the guests.

After Zhang Manniang ate most of the plates of dates, she told about her sadness.

Her father was determined to be lame, and the family spent a lot of money to invite doctors from the provincial capital to treat him, but there was no way to cure him. His temper is getting worse and worse, scolding his wife and beating children every day. The eldest brother Zhang Gangdan was not as happy in the arresting room, and was squeezed by Jiang Gaofan (Jiang Zhukuai) and He Zhukuai and several others. It turned out that the people who were close to her family were estranged, and the younger brother Zhang Tiedan was beaten several times and his head was bleeding......

Her eyes were red, and she was in tears when she said she was sad.

Xu Lan scolded Zhang Zhutou in her heart that she deserved it, and good and evil would be rewarded. But she persuaded Zhang Manniang, which meant that she was not young, and she would marry when she met a suitable offspring. Looking for a husband to find a good to himself, a good-looking little white face is unreliable, and he appeared to scold Gu Wangchen again. Today's Gu Wangchen is not a Gu Juren but an ancient Jinshi, and the oath she made before expired is invalid.

Xu Lanyin really hoped that Zhang Manniang could leave the Zhang family earlier. Zhang Gangdan has a certain relationship with Yiju Restaurant, but I don't know if it has been developed. If it is developed, the Zhang family will not be able to escape the disaster of raiding the house and destroying the door in the future. If Zhang Manniang gets married, she can still escape, and that cute black boy Zhang Tiedan has no choice.

Zhang's family, Zhang Zhutou was chatting quietly with his second son Zhang Tongdan in the house.

Zhang Zhutou, who was reclining on the couch, had red eyes, messy hair and beard, and seemed to have lost a lot of weight overnight.

Last night, Zhang Gangdan told Zhang Zhutou about the situation of the arresting room, and Jiang Gaofan and several people suppressed him very much. County Lieutenant Sun watched the excitement and didn't help anyone. Wang Xiancheng has been helping him suppress Jiang Gao, and Min County Ling doesn't seem to help anyone, but is actually helping Jiang Gao......

Zhang Zhutou wondered, "Wang Xiancheng is a cunning head, how could he be disobedient to Lord Min to help us?" ”

Zhang Gangdan pursed his lips, said that he was helping Yiju Restaurant, and said that Wang Xiancheng was in a group with him, and he would definitely do his best to help the Zhang family......

He wanted to use this incident to completely pull his father in and make great contributions together. He knew that behind the Yiju Restaurant was not only the Western Xia Kingdom, but also the officials of the court.

After listening to Zhang Gangdan's words, Zhang Zhutou looked at him for a long time, and saw that Zhang Gangdan was terrified. Only then did he say, "You go and rest, this matter is big, let me think about it." And don't tell them that I know about you. ”

Early this morning, he left his second son Zhang Tongdan behind on the grounds of poor health, and said that Zhang Gangdan had secretly worked for Yiju Restaurant, that is, for the Western Xia Kingdom, for more than two years. The attack on Zhou Shilang in Hebei, which shocked the government and the opposition the year before last, was done by them, and Zhang Gangdan also helped deliver the letter......

"Lao Tzu wants to clean up the portal," Zhang Zhutou said through gritted teeth.

Zhang Tongdan's eyes widened, and he said in a low voice, "Clean up the portal?" Dad, that's my eldest brother, let's treat him like that, isn't it too ruthless? ”

Zhang Zhutou's eyes were full of tide, and he said sadly, "Your eldest brother is my eldest son, I have spent a lot of effort to cultivate him, and I have always wanted to pass on the mantle to him, so that he can protect our Zhang family from generation to generation in Nanping." If he kills someone, Lao Tzu can give money to save him, Lao Tzu is not clean, and there are human lives on his hands...... But that rebel, stupid, he actually betrayed the enemy for a few thousand taels of silver and slept with a top brand in the building, this is a big disaster of raiding the family and destroying the door, I can't let him ruin our family. ”

Zhang Tongdan also remembered that two years ago, the eldest brother suddenly got 6,000 taels of silver, and his rhetoric at that time was to seize the handle of a "fat sheep", but it turned out to be given by Juyi Restaurant.

He said, "Dad, it's really not good, you take my eldest brother to report to Lord Min secretly, and take the opportunity to serve Yiju Restaurant, we can still make great contributions." ”

Zhang Zhutou shook his head and said, "No, who knows if Min Can is from Yiju Restaurant...... Even if it's not, you can't tell him. That slippery head, he won't take care of the really tricky things, and he can't take care of this matter if he wants to. He is just a small county magistrate, and Yiju Restaurant dares to do such a big thing, there must be a big reliance behind it...... We can't let Yiju Restaurant know that we know about this matter, and we are not willing to follow them, otherwise our family will not be able to do well. Gangdan must die, and he must die in an accident, so that no one can doubt it......"

Zhang Tongdan showed an unbearable look and said, "Dad, that's my eldest brother, how can you ......?"

Zhang Zhutou swept away his sadness, and scolded with a fierce look in his eyes, "You are less of a mother's kindness." If Gangdan does not die, it means that our whole family and even the whole clan will die. After Gangdan died, I took your mother, Manniang, Tiedan, and a few grandchildren back to the countryside to live. You work hard in the ya, and then you have to be pushed by Lao Tzu, and when Tie Dan and a few grandchildren grow up, our Zhang family will find a way to turn it up...... Grandma is a bear, we can't admit defeat. He also said, "Lao Tzu doesn't know a few big characters, and he relies on the word 'knowing people' to build a family business." Don't bully the young man to be poor, I made a big taboo, I shouldn't have dealt with Zhao Wu, that kid is not a thing in the pool. If you had brought him over earlier, you wouldn't necessarily have to be a son-in-law, he would have been a good helper wherever he went, but I personally pushed him to Jiang Prison......"

Zhang Manniang had dinner at Xu's house, and she had no intention of leaving. Xu Lanyin went to invite Xu Yulan and Xu Minniang, the granddaughter of the fifth grandfather, and the four little ladies played bird chess, and at the end of Shen Shi, Zhang Manniang reluctantly got up and said goodbye.

She also took Xu Lanyin's hand and said, "Your house is so fun, I'll come back next time." ”

Still like last time, Xu Lanyin spent 20 yuan to ask the fifth grandfather to send Zhang Manniang home in a donkey cart, and also gave her a purse and two juanhua flowers that she bought in the provincial capital.

At night, Xu Lanyin, who had not washed her face for two days, washed her face, which was the first time in her previous life that she only washed her face once in two days. It's summer again, and she's going to sweat on her face, which makes her very uncomfortable. However, if the Yusheng muscle cream is too precious to be wasted, wipe it once every five days in the future, and keep it for two days at a time.

She looked in the mirror again, and even if the bronze mirror was not very clear, she could see that her face was a little more delicate than before. She laughed, it was all worth it.

The next night, as soon as Xu Lanyin finished washing up and went to the kang, she heard the cry of Hanako and the sound of pecking at the door. She got off the kang and opened the door, and it was Mazi who came back.

Xu Lanyin happily carried it into the room and took out a note from the small bamboo tube on its lap.
