Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Uncle Zhang felt that it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, so he took the opportunity to request the two families to become the in-laws of his children.

Zhang Xianling looked up at the sky with a deep face, and sighed for a while: "Second uncle, you have helped me a lot over the years, it's not that I don't want to agree to you, but for the sake of your nephew's future, I really don't dare to agree to this matter." ”

These things are not good to say to juniors, Zhang Xian ordered Zhang Junshi to step down.

Uncle Zhang was very surprised, why can't this work? You have the right and I have the money, and we can only make the family go further by combining our strength.

Why can't this work?

"Nephew, do you think my granddaughter has exotic blood?"

Zhang Xianling shook his head: "I am ambitious, and I am not ungrateful to the people about the things in the county, but I have only been a seven-grade petty official with a county order for many years, just because my family background is too poor, there is no famous teacher to teach, and no colleagues and seniors have promoted."

I don't have these things, and I can't let my son be here too. I have already thought about it, and I want Junshi to find a powerful Yue family to promote. We are a family, your nephew's future is the future of the Zhang family, can you bear to see him walking alone in officialdom, like me, he has no ambition for the rest of his life?! ”

Zhang Xianling said sadly and helplessly: "The future of the Zhang family is not in you and me, but in your nephew and your granddaughter." If Shuxian really enters the palace and gives birth to a little prince, let alone help the little prince seize the throne, we can't provide any help.

On the contrary, it will become a burden to the little prince, on the contrary, if Junshi has a powerful Yue family, he will naturally shine in the officialdom. At that time, the little prince will have his uncle's family as the backing, so why worry about the great cause!

The marriage of the two of them is very involved, and I categorically can't agree to the second uncle, I hope you will understand. ”

Uncle Zhang sighed: "It's because I didn't think it through, if my granddaughter doesn't succeed, I still have the granddaughter of my in-laws, and I can be a concubine if I can't be a wife." ”

Zhang Xianling shook his head: "It's all my own family, how can I be so ruined." You and I are close relatives, our two families really don't have to waste the opportunity to marry for the sake of Shuxian's future, if the second uncle has the heart, he can give his granddaughter a lot of dowry to the officials of the dynasty, and the grandson can also marry the daughter of the family. For the sake of Shuxian, the more relationships we have, the better. ”

Uncle Zhang thought about it, stroked his beard and smiled: "No wonder your grandfather valued you the most during his lifetime, when it comes to the overall situation, I am not as good as you." ”

"Eh~ The second uncle earns tens of thousands of family fortunes alone, so there is really no need to be presumptuous."

When the two reached an agreement, they praised each other, and the atmosphere in the main hall was harmonious.

Zhang Shuxian followed Mrs. Zhang to meet the granddaughters of Uncle Zhang's family, they have slightly dark skin, but they are healthy, have a hearty smile, wear cool clothes, and wear jingle bells on their heads and hands, which is another style of beauty.

Uncle Zhang asked someone to teach his grandchildren to enlightenment, these cousins have no problem with the language, just with a little accent, and they are a little cautious about the ladies of the Celestial Empire who are greatly praised by this grandfather.

Mrs. Zhang and the daughter-in-law of the same generation of the Zhang family talked, Zhang Shuxian talked to her cousins about clothes, and the girls were not interested in these, talking about twittering, you try my hairpin, I try your bracelet, the atmosphere suddenly became lively, and the strangeness between the sisters also disappeared by half.

After staying at Uncle Zhang's house for a long time, Zhang Shuxian and the sisters at home were initially familiar, and the sisters asked her to play another day.

So three days after returning home, Zhang Shuxian reported to Zhang County Order, saying that she was going to Uncle Zhang's house.

Zhang Xianling naturally agreed, and he also needed the financial support of Uncle Zhang's family.

Zhang Shuxian took the maid to find a few sisters.

I was shocked when I met.

The sisters of the Zhang family were wearing Western-style shirts and skirts, high heels, and curly hair on their heads.

It looks very stylish.

The Zhang sisters were also shocked when they saw Zhang Shuxian's shocked appearance, worried that this little cousin would think that they were dressed in bad manners. Grandpa kept telling them to let their little cousin go, saying that this cousin was noble, but they must not anger her.

Zhang Shuxian walked over: "Where did you make these clothes?" ”

With a gentle smile on his face, there is only curiosity and no disgust.

When the crisis was resolved, the Zhang sisters put their minds at ease and chattered about the origin of the clothes, saying that they were made in Paris.

Zhang Shuxian was curious when she heard about Paris, and the Zhang sisters did not advise them to talk about their studies.

Zhang Shuxian was shocked after listening to the experience of these sisters, and went to Europe and the United States to study at the end of the 19th century.

Much more promising than her daughter of a small county magistrate.

Zhang Shuxian thought a lot in her heart, but she was silent on her face, talking and laughing with them freely.

Several sisters had a very good impression of Zhang Shuxian, and after hearing their grandfather talk about the fact that the Zhang family was afraid to be developed, they were very curious about the auspicious rui offered by the Zhang family.

"It's a white snake the size of a bucket." Zhang Shuxian said: "My father said that this snake can understand human speech. ”

"Really? So can it speak human language? The youngest fifth sister laughed mischievously, and her words were full of teasing.

The eldest sister stopped with a smile: "What are you talking about?" ”

Turning his head to explain to Zhang Shuxian: "When my little sister and my father went on a trip, they also saw a snake four or five meters long in a European zoo. ”

"That's it, I'm afraid that the white snake is just a little older, and it lives a little longer, and you actually regard it as auspicious? If the emperor knew that you were fooling him, he would definitely not spare you! ”

"Little sister!" The eldest sister scolded with a cold face.

The little sister bowed her head indignantly and shouted: "Originally, where are there any demons and monsters in this world, they are all made up by ignorant people." ”

Zhang Shuxian smiled: "We are close to each other, if the emperor is angry, I am afraid that he will implicate the clan surnamed Zhang, sometimes you and I can't run, so I am afraid that the little sister will have to pray that the auspicious rui is true in the future." ”

After hearing this, the fifth sister sighed sadly: "Alas, even sitting is a criminal law that can only be thought up by tyrants, why is my life so bitter." ”

The three sisters were all amused by her funny appearance, only the eldest sister, worried that Zhang Shuxian would report to her grandfather that they were disrespectful to the emperor.

Zhang Shuxian smiled: "If the little sister has a hard life, wouldn't the poor people in Pingxian County be a hundred times more bitter than Coptis chinensis?" ”

The fifth sister looked up and was curious: "What is Coptis chinensis?" ”

The eldest sister smiled embarrassedly at Zhang Shuxian, and then turned her head to explain to the younger sister: "It is a bitter Chinese medicine." ”

Zhang Shuxian sat for a while and then said goodbye, feeling that the Zhang sisters were really strange.

Looking at Zhang Shuxian's back, the fifth sister hugged her arms and suddenly snorted coldly: "I can't get used to seeing her like that, I don't have any thoughts of my own in my head, and my fate is controlled by my father, how sad." I heard that there was a miracle on her, and I wanted to use this to enter the palace, hmph, don't think I don't know what they have in mind. Grandpa doesn't know what to think, their family spends our money and always thinks that we are a head lower than them, and there is no such reason in the world. ”

The eldest sister looked at her impatiently: "Do you dare to say these words to grandpa?" You feel that you have a wide range of friends, you are well-informed, and you are a hundred times more noble than these feudal ladies. But when we arrive in Pingxian, we are not as good as Zhang Shuxian, Zhang Shuxian is a good girl recognized by the society, what about us?

Before, my grandfather went to visit Fucheng, and even a gatekeeper dared to give my grandfather a blank look, and sent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to my grandmother before taking us into the prefect's inner house, but I didn't even see the face of the hostess. The maids look down on us and think we are unruly! ”

"That's it, it's all grandpa's fault! I don't know what grandpa is doing when he comes back! The fifth sister complained.

"What's the use of complaining since you can't change society's perception of you?"
