Chapter 59: The Purpose of the Zhang Family

Gu Chenfeng said: "Previously, Zhang Hongming had written a recital to impeach the prince, and later, he ...... You also know what happened later, Zhang Hongming falsely accused the prince, and the prince deliberately suppressed Zhang Hongming in the court, and next year's review is afraid that it will be difficult to pass, this time he found the Gu family, I am afraid that he wants to pass the Zhao family and get in touch with the prince. ”

Zhang Hongming's wish to return to Beijing will definitely not be realized, and it is difficult to say whether he can keep his current position now, so he came up with this way to save himself.

Zhao Siyan suddenly realized at this time, and she also guessed that the Zhang family might be coming for Zhao Tingshan, but she didn't know that there was still this inside story.

Li Junze personally came to attend Mrs. Zhao's birthday banquet before, and then stayed at Zhao's house for one night, which in the eyes of outsiders, is a manifestation of Li Junze's respect for Zhao Tingshan.

No wonder the Zhang family has to name her, Zhao Tingshan only has one daughter. As for the position of the main bookkeeper promised by the Zhang family, there is no way to do it, Zhao Tingshan has an official position, and he can no longer serve as a small master bookkeeper, so he gave it to Zhao Tingxu, they are all a family, and the benefits have not fallen on others.

I have to say that the Zhang family's circle is a bit big, but the wishful thinking is good.

Gu Chenfeng said: "This matter started because of the prince, or after I return to the prince, let the prince help solve it." ”

Zhao Siyan shook his head: "It's not a big deal, the prince is already anxious enough for the war, so there is no need to bother him." ”

Zhao Siyan didn't even plan to tell Zhao Tingshan, let alone Li Junze.

Gu Chenfeng glanced at her with a complicated expression, if it was another woman, if she encountered such a thing, she would probably have started to worry and be anxious, but she looked calm and calm, a little calmer than him.

The girl he liked was truly extraordinary.

Gu Chenfeng also knew Zhao Siyan's ability, and he didn't feel too worried, so he said, "Then come to me if you have anything." ”

Zhao Siyan smiled, "Thank you Gu Gongzi for your kindness." But she didn't say that she would definitely go to him, and after a pause, she said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first." ”

Gu Chenfeng nodded, his nostalgic gaze fell on her face, and his eyes were gentle.

Zhao Siyan didn't like Gu Chenfeng's eyes, as if she was looking at his belongings.

Zhao Siyan turned around and left the remote courtyard, and Gu Chenfeng kept looking at her back as she left.

Returning to Tingyuyuan, Zhao Siyan was thinking about how to end the current situation, and Zhao Siyin and Chen Wanying came.

Since Chen Wanying made a night detective, she rarely went out, and even fewer appeared in front of Zhao Siyan, but this time she took the initiative to find the door.

Zhao Siyan entertained the two.

They came for Zhao Siyan's marriage.

Zhao Siyin's soft face was a little worried: "I just came back from Helan Yuan to ask my grandmother to say goodbye, my grandmother is sick and has no energy, it seems that it is really worrying." ”

Zhao Siyan was slightly surprised: "Grandmother is sick?" Why didn't you call the doctor over? ”

Zhao Siyin sighed, and glanced at Zhao Siyan again and again.

Zhao Siyin refused to say, but Chen Wanying sneered and said, "Why else?" Not for you! Because of your marriage, the second aunt contradicted the grandmother, and the grandmother was angry and sick, but she was still worried about your reputation and refused to call someone to pass on the doctor, so she was worried that the second aunt and you would have an unfilial reputation, and the grandmother was dedicated to the second aunt and the third cousin! Third cousin, I didn't say you, this incident really broke my grandmother's heart. ”

Chen Wanying's words were conclusive and indignant, as if she had done something very wrong, and her angry correction made Zhao Siyan feel funny.

What's even funnier is that her tone of voice is soft and gentle, and it doesn't make people feel aggressive, she just thinks that what she said makes sense, and even such a gentle and kind person is so angry, as if Zhao Siyan and Liu really did something rebellious.

Zhao Siyin hurriedly stopped: "Cousin, the marriage is a big event, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, the third sister can't be the master!" After a pause, she looked at Zhao Siyan again, and said in a sincere tone: "Third sister, our women have never had room for their own marriages, but third sister, you are not an ordinary woman, and the second aunt has always loved you, it is better for you to persuade the second aunt, after all, grandmother's body is important!" ”

Zhao Siyan thought for a while, and then said: "The marriage is a major event, the elders are in charge, and as a junior, I am also soft-spoken. ”

"How do you know you can't if you haven't tried? I think you just don't want to open your mouth to persuade you! It's a shame that your grandmother loves you so much, and you choose to be the son of Taishou! Third cousin, such a good family, it is our Zhao family Gao Pan, if your grandmother doesn't really love you, how can she marry you to such a big family? The second aunt still refused, which was really in vain for her grandmother's kindness! Chen Wanying said indignantly.

Zhao Siyin frowned and looked at her: "Cousin, how can you talk about elders so presumptuously?" Even if there is something wrong with the second aunt, she is also our elder, so she can't be so rude. ”

"Third cousin, don't blame, what I said is a little unpleasant, but I'm really worried about my grandmother." Chen Wanying's eyes turned red as she spoke, "I just hope that my grandmother's illness will get better as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Siyan looked at her with a look of tears, as if she was the victim, and those hurtful words had nothing to do with her.

Zhao Siyan said: "My cousin is really filial piety for my grandmother, no wonder my grandmother has always loved my cousin," after a pause, she said: "I want my cousin to come for the sake of my grandmother's health, and she is willing to do anything, right?" ”

Zhao Siyin frowned slightly, only feeling that what she said was a little strange, as if she had a deep meaning, but this was not what she said, and she was not easy to answer casually.

Chen Wanying didn't hear it, she only felt that Zhao Siyan was testing her filial piety to Mrs. Zhao, and nodded without hesitation: "This is natural, seeing my grandmother sick, I really feel like a knife, my grandmother has always pitied me on weekdays, I really want to replace her!" ”

Chen Wanying's words are a bit exaggerated, but it is not difficult to see that she is indeed filial piety to Mrs. Zhao, if there is no Mrs. Zhao, the situation of Chen Wanying's mother and daughter in the Zhao family will be even more difficult.

Zhao Siyan nodded when she heard this, but she didn't say anything.

Zhao Siyin remembered the marriage of the Zhang family in her heart, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but ask carefully: "Third sister, grandmother has always loved you, you should be able to understand your cousin's feelings, right?" I must also want to do my filial piety for my grandmother, although we should not take the initiative to talk about marriage as women, but we are all a family, why don't you persuade the second aunt? ”

Zhao Siyan's eyes fell on Zhao Siyin's body at this time, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect the second sister to care about me so much?" But has it to do with the Zhang family's promise to find an errand for the uncle? ”

Zhao Siyin's face suddenly sank, she would say that she would move Chen Wanying to come over today, just to promote this marriage, as long as Zhao Tingxu can get the official status, Zhao Wenyu and Zhao Wenkang will go to participate in the imperial examination again, if she wins the examination again, her value will be higher, and she will have more choices in marriage.

And there is no official in the Zhao family, although it is only a small master book, but it is also the first person in the Zhao family, so the people in the big house attach great importance to this opportunity, and today it is the eldest lady who asked her to persuade Zhao Siyan.

In fact, it is persuasion, and it can be regarded as coercion and temptation, there are some things, the eldest lady and Mrs. Zhao are inconvenient to speak, if the matter is really to the point of inextricability, the Liu family is really angry and really refuses to let Zhao Siyan marry, then the benefits promised by the Zhang family will be beaten up.

Old Lady Zhao and Big Lady didn't dare to persecute the Liu family too strongly, but coercion was still possible.

But Zhao Siyin didn't expect that Zhao Siyan would say it so bluntly and directly mentioned the matter of the main book.

Zhao Siyin's face changed, and then she cheered up and said, "What errand?" I don't know this, but even so, doesn't it just show that the Zhang family values you? The third sister has not passed the door, the Zhang family is so sincere to marry, in the future, the third sister will marry, the Zhang family is naturally focused on you, we women, find a husband who is valued by the husband's family, what else can you ask for? ”

Zhao Siyin still worked tirelessly to persuade Zhao Siyan to accept the marriage.

Zhao Siyan pretended to be a little hesitant, "But I heard that Zhang Gongzi is a concubine, and he is physically disabled......

Zhao Siyin was a little disdainful in her heart, Zhang Hongming was too guarded, and a concubine came to marry her, all of whom were high climbs of the Zhao family, do you still want a concubine?

Zhao Siyin hurriedly said: "Sister, the Zhang family is so painstaking to marry you, it must be because of your fancy, I think I also like this concubine, after all, the Zhang family is prominent, marrying is not just to look at the person, but also to look at the family, if there is no family, it is the sound person of the son-in-law, and it is difficult to protect the health of the wife and the family, and now Daliao is at war, only such a famous family has the ability to block the wind and rain, if our women do not rely on their husbands, wouldn't they become the rootless duckweed? ”

I have to say that Zhao Siyin is still a little eloquent, what she said is reasonable, and it is quite like that, if she changes others, I am afraid that she will already agree.

Zhao Siyan pursed her lips, but she looked at Zhao Siyin expectantly, and said happily: "The second sister said this Zhang family so well, could it be that she likes this marriage very much?" If that's the case, I went to my grandmother and gave such a good relationship to my second sister. ”

Zhao Siyin's expression suddenly froze, she still said patiently: "This can't be done, the Zhang family's favorite candidate is the third sister, you, sister, I support the willow, I didn't get into the eyes of the Zhang family, if we want to change people, we agreed, and the Zhang family may not agree, Lord Zhang is too guarded, but he is not a family that can be easily offended." ”

Zhao Siyan frowned and did not speak.

Chen Wanying snorted lightly, with a little indignation on her weak face, "My grandmother is sick because of this incident, and my third cousin is still pushing back, could it be that I don't care about my grandmother's body at all?" ”

Zhao Siyan looked at Chen Wanying, "If my cousin talks about me, I won't worry about my cousin, I know that my cousin is also good for me, but this can involve the eldest aunt, but I can't talk nonsense," After a pause, she said solemnly: "Now that the eldest aunt is in charge of the middle feed, what the cousin means by this, could it be that the grandmother is sick, and the eldest aunt refuses to ask a doctor for the grandmother?" The eldest aunt worked hard to take care of the entire Zhao family, and such dirty water couldn't be splashed on her! ”

Chen Wanying was so angry that her face changed slightly, she was clearly accusing Zhao Siyan, but listening to her tone, it was like saying that the eldest lady would not ask for a doctor for the old lady Zhao, if this word spread, the reputation of the eldest lady would be ruined, and Zhao Tingxu would be enough to give her a letter of resignation.

Zhao Siyin couldn't sit still, she had to go back and ask the eldest lady to ask for a doctor.

Zhao Siyin said: "I said what I should say with my cousin, the third sister should do it for herself, we are all sisters, I only hope that you are good." ”

Zhao Siyan smiled slightly: "I naturally know the hearts of my second sister and cousin. ”

Zhao Siyin and Chen Wanying stood up, and Zhao Siyin personally sent the two of them out.

It wasn't until the two of them walked away and couldn't see the gate of the rain garden that the two slowed down.

Chen Wanying looked at Zhao Siyin, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, I don't think she will agree, you'd better find another way, otherwise I'm afraid of chickens and eggs!" ”

Zhao Siyin looked at Chen Wanying, she was a little strange, why did Chen Wanying speak sarcastically, she could be a weak posture, and even her voice was gentle and gentle, as if she was planning for her?

Zhao Siyin smiled slightly: "I thought that the one who should be anxious should be my cousin, if the third sister really doesn't want to marry into the Zhang family, the best way is to choose another family that is better than the Zhang family, and the best choice for her at the moment is Gu Gongzi," After a pause, she looked at Chen Wanying: "How does Gu Gongzi treat the third sister, I think my cousin should know better than anyone else, right?" ”

Chen Wanying's face changed, and she said coldly: "Instead of putting your mind on me, you might as well think about how to get her to agree!" Gu Gongzi is not the only one who treats the third cousin differently! ”

This time it was Zhao Siyin's turn, and her face changed.

Seeing her expression, Chen Wanying smiled coldly, turned around and walked away.

"Hurry up, let Mrs. Chen close the door, everything really has to come in, and it will damage the feng shui of our garden for no reason!" Green Lotus said with a look of disgust.

Yun Cui's face was also a little bad, Zhao Siyin and Chen Wanying had bad intentions at all, it was obviously a fire pit, so they said that it was a blessing, as if Zhao Siyan didn't jump in or didn't know what to do, but if it was really that good, why didn't the two of them go? also under the banner of saying good for Zhao Si.

"What are you angry about? It's a good thing that they're here this time, at least I know the attitude of my grandmother and the eldest wife. Zhao Siyan glanced at the two of them amusedly.

Yun Cui thought for a moment, and then asked, "Miss, I saw that the old lady and the eldest lady had to promote this family business, how could this be a good thing?" ”

"They want to promote this marriage, but because they want it too much, this is our opportunity, they are worried that this matter will not be promoted, and they dare not persecute us with a tough attitude, so today my grandmother is sick, and I want to use filial piety to force my mother to comply, doesn't it mean that they have no other way?" Zhao Siyin said lightly.

Zhao Siyan said again: "They are also afraid that things will make a big fuss, and when the Zhang family knows, they will have no face," After a pause, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips mockingly: "It seems that this person attaches too much importance to face and reputation, and it is not a bad thing." ”

Yun Cui suddenly realized at this time, yes, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao wanted to promote this marriage, and this marriage became their weakness, they didn't dare to tear their faces, and they had to coax the Liu family and Zhao Siyan, so they were worried that the Liu family and Zhao Siyan would be ruined, and when the time came, a bad reputation would come out, making them faceless.

To put it bluntly, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao want to force Zhao Siyan to marry into the Zhang family, and they also want her to marry willingly, without regrets, and happily marry in the past, and marry decently, otherwise it will affect their reputation.

No wonder Zhao Siyan would say that it's not a bad thing to care too much about fame and face.

As long as there are weaknesses and things to care about, this is their chance.

"What about Miss Cousin? When did the relationship between the second lady and her cousin be so good? Haven't the two of them always been secretly competing? Yun Cuihu asked suspiciously.

In the past, the eldest lady didn't want to see Zhao Qingru, and the two fought openly and secretly, and even the relationship between Zhao Siyin and Chen Wanru was not good, but now the two actually came together, and listening to what she said just now, Chen Wanying seemed to be more excited than Zhao Siyin.

This marriage, the big house is still profitable, but it has nothing to do with Zhao Qingru's mother and daughter.

Zhao Siyan smiled lightly, "Well, she is naturally worried that I am blocking her way," After a pause, she spit out three words: "Gu Gongzi." ”

Yun Cui was stunned for a moment, but she was puzzled: "What does this have to do with Gu Gongzi?" ”

Zhao Siyan sighed, because Gu Chenfeng looked at her differently, which made Chen Wanying vigilant.

Originally, Chen Wanying's target was Li Junze, but after the night detective, Chen Wanying also knew that Li Junze's path would not work, so she had to turn her attention back to Gu Chenfeng, Gu Chenfeng was the best object that Chen Wanying could catch now.

But Gu Chenfeng looked at her differently, and now she was in trouble with the Zhang family, Chen Wanying was worried that in order not to marry into the Zhang family, she would climb up to Gu Chenfeng, and Chen Wanying would have no chance at that time, so Chen Wanying would be with Zhao Siyin, so looking forward to her marrying into the Zhang family.

It can be said that in this marriage, the three rooms have their own considerations, and everyone wants to take advantage of it, but they want to sacrifice her.

Zhao Siyan couldn't help but think thoughtfully, her slender fingers knocked on the tabletop, and she already had some plans in her heart.

Zhao Siyan glanced at Lu He, and then said, "Lu He, you go and do something for me." ”

Green Lotus responded crisply, she likes to do such errands the most! Zhao Siyan whispered a few words in her ear, and the little maid's eyes were shining, and she nodded again and again.

"The slave and maid understand, Miss don't worry, the slave and maid will do it well!" After saying that, Green Lotus hurriedly turned around and walked out.
