Chapter 196: Conspiracy
Song Mu ignored Zhang Miao's cloudy face and poured himself a drink.
"The door of the Huaiwang Mansion is already high for your Zhang family, although my mother is a side concubine, she is also written into the royal jade, and she has a grade. In the future, I will be admitted to the imperial examination, and if I earn my life for you in the future, you should also tolerate one or two of my concubines. ”
Zhang Miao had a cold face, her nails scratched the table and left a few marks, looking at Song Mu with an indifferent face, trying to raise a smile.
"Song Gongzi is joking, right? Concubine Ji talked to my mother before, but I listened to it, Concubine Ji patted her chest and said to my mother You are all about studying, and you rarely live in the palace, how can you pop out of a concubine room at this time? ”
The more Zhang Miao said, the more she felt that her analysis was right, Song Mu was testing herself, whether she was a qualified wife, according to what Concubine Ji said and her mother sent someone to inquire, it didn't seem like she was a fool, how could it be that the wife had no concubine room before she entered the door? !
Song Mu didn't expect Concubine Ji to say so much in order to promote the relationship with the Zhang family, and seeing that Zhang Miao's expression gradually softened again, she immediately slapped the table.
"It's true that I've been living in the academy and concentrating on my studies, but I'm also a man, so why not have one or two women who have caught my eye? Even if it is not used now, then I will not and cannot guard you alone in the future, in short, as long as you promise me to keep to myself and be a proper wife after I enter the door, it will not hurt me to marry you. ”
Song Mu's prodigal appearance finally angered Zhang Miao, and he stood up violently and looked down at Song Mu, Zhang Miao squeezed the teacup in his hand tightly, looking like he was going to smash people with the teacup if he didn't agree with him.
Song Mu just wanted to wait for Zhang Miao to break out, seeing her angry chest rising and falling, she hurriedly added firewood.
"I heard that your father also has two concubines, and you see that you also have brothers and sisters, you should know how many men in this world will be willing to guard a woman for a lifetime? If you don't have this amount of tolerance, then I don't dare to marry you, I thought I could reach an agreement with you today, and everyone was happy, but I didn't expect you to be such an unreasonable person. ”
"I'm unreasonable? It's clear that you're prodigal, and you still want to marry me?! Dream on! ”
"Bang-"
Zhang Miao slammed the teacup on the ground, and under the splash of tea, Song Mu shook his head regretfully, but it was a pity that this cup of tea was still smashed on himself, and he went out to show people a vague word, and the Zhang family himself had to mention the dissolution of the marriage contract.
"This is leaving? Why don't you go back and ask your father, am I asking too much? Say that I am a prodigal, then where do you put the men who have wives and concubines in the whole world? I was kind enough to consult with you, but I didn't expect you to be so irritable. My mother also came back to tell me that Miss Zhang's gentle temperament is the most kind, and what she has seen with her own eyes is unexpected. ”
Zhang Miao's steps of turning around and leaving were stumped by Song Mu's last words, and he secretly regretted that he didn't hold back his temper, if it was spread out now, even if he didn't marry this scumbag, other people with heads and faces would have to weigh it.
Zhang Miao turned around and looked at Song Mu, who was still sitting there drinking tea, and simply stopped pretending to be a lady, and sat back and looked at Song Mu.
"Song Gongzi, I seem to understand."
"Oh? Understand what? ”
"Song Gongzi asked me to come here today, I'm afraid he deliberately provoked me to get out of the marriage, right?"
Song Mu glanced at Zhang Miao appreciatively, and almost applauded.
"Miss Zhang is smart, this family business is my mother's concubine who didn't ask me about my thoughts at all, presumably Miss Zhang didn't know anything before this, and she also listened to her parents' orders. If you want to say that this marriage still has to be in love with the two people, otherwise it will be a grudge and divorce in the future, or divorce or divorce, which will be a great harm to you. ”
"But now that the dowry and dowry have been handed over properly, it will be a little difficult for Song Gongzi to withdraw from the marriage and save the face of the two families."
Zhang Miao is not a fool, knowing that Song Mu brought him instead of going directly to Zhang's mansion to withdraw from the marriage, he just wanted to have the best of both worlds.
"Miss Zhang really understands the righteousness, yes, I came to you today to discuss a way to get the best of both worlds, which not only protects the reputation of your Zhang family, but also does not lose the face of our Huai Wangfu."
Zhang Miao didn't have any particularly deep feelings for Song Mu, and if he didn't marry, he didn't have to talk about it, anyway, he didn't have to worry about getting married, if he could really find a love match, it would be better than marrying the man in front of him.
Thinking like this, Zhang Miao took a teacup again, poured a cup of tea by herself, and this time she didn't smell the fragrance of tea, and took a sip directly, although it was not as good as the good tea she had drunk on weekdays, but it was okay to quench her thirst.
"In that case, if I cooperate with Song Gongzi to withdraw from this marriage, what good will I do?"
"The dowry does not need to be returned, the dowry of the Zhang family is returned, and it will be done in the next word."
"Okay, it's hard to chase a gentleman."
Zhang Miao and Song Mu heard the movement inside clearly, and they heard the sound of the teacup being smashed, but they still didn't see anyone come out for a long time, the cold sweat on the little girl's forehead flowed down, and Zhang Miao's maidservants all noticed that something was wrong.
Finally, before the maid couldn't help knocking on the door, the door was opened, Zhang Miao was in a good mood and left with the maidservant to say goodbye, and Song Mu also watched the two leave with a look like a spring breeze.
The little guy looked like he had seen a ghost, and called softly hesitantly.
"Childe, this ......"
"It's settled, everything goes according to plan."
"Huh?"
"Ahh
"Oh, I want to say that the little one is still a powerful child, and he really persuaded Miss Zhang."
Song Mu trimmed his sleeves proudly, and snorted coldly with disdain in his heart, the Zhang family has been noble for a long time, so many dowry gifts should be sent to think about it, and now that they are all given to Zhang Miao, what reason is there not to cooperate.
On the other hand, Zhang Miao concisely told the plan discussed by the two on the way back, and the maidservant's mouth couldn't close in shock, but Zhang Miao nodded and agreed to cooperate after some coercion and temptation.
After the matter is completed, the young lady can also get one hundred and eighty taels of silver as she wishes, and in the future, whether she marries a housekeeper or buys a family business by herself, she has the confidence to take a risk, isn't it acting.
When Zhang Miao returned home, Zhang's father and mother had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, although the marriage was decided by the parents, but it would be better if the young couple also saw the right thing.
Sure enough, from a distance, I saw that the smile on Zhang Miao's face was about to reach the root of her ears, and Zhang's mother held her daughter's hand tightly, and she knew how satisfied her daughter was with Song Mu without asking.
I thought that as soon as the marriage of King Huai was over, I would be able to Zhang Luo Zhang Miao and Song Mu's marriage, but I didn't expect Zhang Miao to have a high fever that night.
