Fu Chaoxian was busy in the yamen, but when he saw the old servant hurriedly coming to tell him about the Yin family's arrival, he was busy with official business and couldn't leave it, so he instructed Zhu Wenzhong and said: "Let the wife greet the visitors first, I can't get away here." I'll go back when I'm done. If the Yin family wants to make any requests, don't agree to them first, and discuss them when I go back. ”

Zhu Wenzhong told Fu Chaoxian's meaning back and forth to Zhang, but Zhang's didn't say anything. Now she is jealous of the Yin family's money, but she also knows that this matter is very important, she can't make decisions without permission, if she agrees indiscriminately, it is very likely that Fu Chaoxian will be in a hurry and beat her.

The Zhang family ordered Zhu Niangzi and Zhiqiu to clean up the guest rooms for Yin Siye and the Yin family's housekeeper, but he was not happy to let Yin Haisheng live in a dilapidated house like the Fu family, so he declined the kindness and went back to find an exquisite inn to settle down.

Yin Haisheng and the others left, and Zhang came to Zhangzhu's room again, and Zhangzhu was still sitting at the table reading a book, so quiet. Bao Yan was not waiting in front of him, and it didn't look like he was going to travel far away.

Zhang couldn't guess what Zhangzhu was thinking when she looked at the scene of Zhangzhu, so she began to test Zhangzhu's tone: "Big girl, I have wronged you." When you are an aunt, you will definitely make decisions for you, don't worry about it, auntie, I want to be good for you. You are also a person who knows books and etiquette, and you grew up reading the biography of the martyr, and you understand some truths without me saying it. Now the imperial court is fierce, do you see the high arches at the east gate, the oldest of which is also hundreds of years old. The woman is long gone, but everyone still commemorates her virtues. It's really amazing for a woman to be able to do this. ”

Zhangzhu was naturally not stupid, she quickly understood the meaning of Zhang's words, so she said: "Auntie wants me to guard the third master for a lifetime?" ”

"This ...... I don't dare force you, but it's up to you. If you are willing, it will be a good thing, and the court will definitely make a list, and your name will be left in the history books you read in the future. ”

Zhangzhu said firmly: "The Yin family has not passed the door of the Fu family, the widow is unmarried, and she is determined to be a husband and will not marry for life." Is that all? ”

Na Zhang was stunned at first, and then said: "I haven't read many books, but I think I will write like this in general." ”

Zhangzhu stared at Zhang's face and asked, "Auntie, what is the use of me leaving this so-called good name?" ”

"Be respected, no matter who mentions Miss Fu in the future, they will give a thumbs up, and your uncle will be respected for it."

Zhangzhu wanted to laugh when she heard this, but she couldn't laugh anymore, and only made some strange sounds in her throat. Zhang Shi looked at such a palm bead in surprise, couldn't figure out what she was doing, and said suspiciously: "Big girl, you can understand my words." ”

"Yes, of course I do. Auntie kept saying that it was for my good, you took a fancy to the twenty taels of silver, and then planned to sell all the good days of your niece to the Yin family for the next few decades for this money. ”

"Don't say it so ugly, what is called selling, I'm not thinking about you and fighting for your greatest interests. Twenty taels is definitely not good, and the Yin family is too calculating. And what will happen to you when you get old in the future, I will take these into account for you, so don't worry. As long as you can figure it out for yourself, the rest will be easy to tell. Auntie doesn't want to persecute you. Although your uncle and aunt are in charge of this matter, you have to nod yourself if you want to. ”

Zhangzhu turned his back and still held the book to read. Zhang looked at her like this, and said everything that should be said in her heart, and she didn't know what Zhangzhu thought in her heart, and she couldn't understand this niece more and more.

"Big girl, your reputation is not so good now, and rumors are circulating outside that you are destined to be a bad person, saying that you are dedicated to the people around you. Now that I am widowed, it is difficult to marry well. You have to think about it. ”

"Auntie, please come back."

Zhang's is still a little worried, and when it comes to this, does Zhangzhu agree?

After Zhang's left, Zhangzhu kept that posture and didn't move, Baoyan came in with her clothes, she saw Zhang's coming out of Zhangzhu's room with her own eyes, she knew that Zhang's would not be happy, and she must have come to pour ecstasy soup with the girl again. The girl is kind-hearted and soft-rooted, and she is so filial, will she have agreed to it when Zhang's said this?

"Girl, whatever your wife says to you, don't promise her first. Girl, if you feel embarrassed and can't be the master, we might as well go to Shoufeng and find the old lady to come forward. With the support of the old lady, the Zhang family didn't dare to do anything. ”

Zhangzhu asked Bao Yan: "How much money have we saved?" ”

Bao Yan replied: "Yesterday, the maid personally counted it, and those bits and pieces added up are only a penny. You've had some hairpins and bracelets and stuff in the past, but you lost them halfway through. That's why it's ......"

"Where can this money sustain us go?"

Bao Yan said: "If you want to go far away, you must hire a carriage, we will not drive, and we have to find a coachman, and we must eat and drink along the way, and we must live in a restaurant, and we will have forage for the horses." It will take seven or eight days from here to Shoufengkuai, and we may only be able to support about two days with this little money. After all, going out and going out costs everywhere. ”

Zhangzhu pondered for a while, his body has improved a lot these days, if he wants to travel far away, he should be able to support it by gritting his teeth and insisting on it for seven or eight days, but where does this money come from? The Zhang family is famous for picking on the door, and now that she wants her to keep the festival for the Yin family, she will definitely not let her go to her grandfather.

Is it really impossible for her to move an inch when she is trapped here? Zhangzhu is struggling to find a way to get out.

At this time, Fu Chaoxian came back, and as soon as he arrived home, the Zhang family put the Yin family's requirements and Fu Chaoxian first, and Fu Chaoxian pouted when he heard it and said: "This Yin family is good at calculation, not to ruin the life of the eldest girl, she is young, and she can't even keep it." ”

Fu Chaoxian's reaction was also expected, and she also had a stomach full of words to say to her husband.

"Master, don't be angry first, Concubine Rong said to you slowly."

Fu Chaoxian was puzzled when he heard this: "Do you really plan to let the eldest girl guard for the rest of her life?" ”

Zhang said: "Master, this matter may be related to your future, you have to think about it, after all, it is an opportunity." The eldest girl is really pitiful, and I blame her for feeling sorry for her, but it's all come to this, do you still think she can marry a good family? I'm afraid not. The big girl has a bad reputation, but now it's still a little useful, you might as well think about it. I also think the conditions proposed by the Yin family are harsh, but they can all be discussed, in addition to the pension given is too low, I also plan to let them promise to provide for the eldest girl in the future, so isn't the Yin family well-connected, run away for the master, get through the relationship, you won't be a lifetime of history, don't you say? ”
