Chapter XVII

Fu Chaoxian couldn't help but blow his beard and stare angrily when he heard Zhang's words, and said angrily: "What do you think of me? No matter how bad I am, I am still a Jinshi and the first, and I am an official appointed by the imperial court, although I am only a petty official who does not enter the stream, but in this position, I have been diligent for a few years, and I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. Now you're going to let me sell my daughter for glory? How can I do such a thing, if my eldest brother knows underground, I am afraid that I will not be at peace, I am afraid that he will come to me in his dreams. ”

Where was Zhang not angry when he heard such words, and he quarreled with Fu Chaoxian at that time: "You can do it, you are a good official, you have a salary of forty taels a year, and you can see what kind of wronged our Mingyue and Brother Limit has become." I can't eat meat more than a few times a month, and I can't even make new clothes. In the past two years, I haven't even bought a new piece of jewelry. A few years ago, the county ordered Mrs. to have a birthday, and there were so many official wives and wealthy businessmen and women present, and I was the most shabby. I've been married to you for more than ten years, and my children have been born for you, and my life is not as good as those who do business, I ...... What the hell am I trying to do......"

The Zhang family cried as soon as he counted down, and Fu Chaoxian was upset when he heard the woman crying.

Zhang's party cried, and the line said: "You are diligent, why haven't I seen you promoted." You elm brain doesn't know how to drill camp, you deserve our mother to follow you to be poor for the rest of your life, and you won't be able to get ahead for the rest of your life. ”

Fu Chaoxian finally left the Zhang family out, he stood under the eaves for a while, although it was spring, but the wind at night was still a little chilly. His wife's cry was heard in the wind, disturbing his heart.

I've been doing a few years of history, and I haven't waited for the opportunity to be promoted, which is indeed related to the fact that he is not good at drilling, he doesn't like flattery, and thinks that as long as he is diligent and does his duty, the people above can always see his goodness, but in the end it seems to be wrong.

Let him sell his niece in exchange for future glory and wealth? Not to mention whether the Yin family has this ability, whether they are willing to help with this, just say that he is the uncle of Zhangzhu after all, and the eldest brother left early, leaving such the only bit of blood, and if he doesn't take care of it well, it is too much of a thing.

Fu Chaoxian remembered the care that his eldest brother took for him when he was a child, and Fu Chaoxian couldn't give up his heart.

Zhang has her own plan, in her opinion, the palm bead is not completely a waste, there is still a little use, she has to make good use of it, so she is unwilling to give up like this. Fu Chaoxian had his own concerns, and he couldn't make such a ruthless move. Zhangzhu also has her own plans, what she wants is to leave the county as soon as possible, to be able to go on independently, to arrive in the capital one day, and to dare to state the grievances of the Xie family to the one in the Jinluan Palace.

Zhangzhu counted the things that belonged to her in this room, a few shabby books, and some words that were usually present. A few old clothes. There's nothing of value. It seems that the original body lived a very hard life in this family, and he didn't leave himself a way back.

If you don't have money, you can't go far away. She doesn't want her future fate to be dictated at will. What Zhangzhu wants most now is to find a free body.

The next day, it was still bright, she simply freshened up, and took the initiative to find Fu Chaoxian to express her meaning.

"Uncle, I know that my reputation is not very good, and I don't know if I can marry in the future, these are actually not that important, but if you want your niece to guard the Yin family's premature grandfather for the rest of your life, your niece can't agree. If you think it's annoying for me to live at home, then my niece has a request, and I ask my uncle to grant it. ”

Fu Chaoxian was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What are your requests?" ”

Zhangzhu said: "I ask to go to the temple to practice and pray for my uncle and aunt." She said this sonorously.

Then Fu Chaoxian was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhangzhu's request, Zhangzhu wanted to become a monk? So what's the difference between keeping a festival for a deceased husband, isn't it all a lifetime of not marrying?

"Our family is not poor enough to be that poor, and you can still afford to eat with one more mouth, so why force yourself to that point."

Zhangzhu secretly thought that it was not she who forced herself, but someone who forced her to choose such a retreat.

"Uncle, niece just made such a request, and asked my uncle for permission." The posture of the palm bead is very low.

Fu Chaoxian waved his hand and said, "You go down." He didn't give any answers.

This day is a day of rest, and Fu Chaoxian is at home. That Zhang and Fu Chaoxian cried all night, and since they got up today, they have been angry with Fu Chaoxian, and they don't even want to say a word.

After breakfast, the Yin family came to the door again. Yin Haisheng was quite polite to Fu Chaoxian, firstly, Fu Chaoxian was an elder, and secondly, Fu Chaoxian was an official master, and he always had to be respectful when he met.

Fu Chaoxian met him alone in the study.

Yin Haisheng told Fu Chaoxian what he said yesterday again, and Fu Chaoxian told him after listening to it: "My eldest brother left early, and he only left such a little bit of blood and bones, and I can't do too much as an uncle, so it's better to let the eldest girl keep the festival." ”

When Yin Haisheng heard this, he secretly said that this old man Fu had two happy words, not like that Zhang's.

"In this case, then the Yin and Fu families will have nothing to do with each other in the future, and they won't have to deal with each other."

Fu Chaoxian did not squeak.

Yin Haisheng said again: "If Miss Fu wants to remarry, I'm afraid it will be difficult. ”

"That's better than sticking to it for a lifetime, our family hasn't fallen to that point, and one more person can afford to feed her." Fu Chaoxian rarely said a hard word.

Yin Haisheng was stunned, he felt that this Master Fu was still a person with backbone, and he also had a little respect in his heart, not the greedy people of the Zhang family.

Bao Yan has been secretly asking what the master and Yin Haisheng said since Yin Haisheng entered the door, but the two of them didn't talk loudly in the study, and closed the doors and windows again, and she eavesdropped on it for a while and didn't understand. Until the door was suddenly opened, Bao Yan was startled and ran away.

Yin Haisheng saw this little maid, and he had some impressions of this little maid. I saw that in the corner of the yard over there, Fu Zhangzhu took a watering can and was watering the flower pot.

He was stunned and walked over, and asked regardless of whether it was suitable or not: "Miss Fu, why did you seek death that night?" ”

Fu Zhangzhu didn't look up, just glanced at the shadow on the ground, she didn't answer Yin Haisheng's words, and still went to water the flowers. Yin Haisheng asked again: "Are you very reluctant to marry my third brother?" ”

Fu Zhangzhu took the watering can and walked into the house, leaving Yin Haisheng alive. He looked at the figure of the palm bead leaving, and secretly said that this girl had a good appearance in vain, but she was an ominous person, and if she was really dead, she might have been clean.
