Fu Chaoxian came forward to personally refuse the Yin family's request, which undoubtedly cut off a financial path for the Zhang family, and for this reason she resented Fu Chaoxian for several days.

Zhang complained to Fu Chaoxian, but his attitude towards Zhangzhu became more and more perfunctory, and he was quite impatient in his words, and even pointed at Sang and scolded Huai. The palm bead didn't care much about these in the first place, just waited for his body to be neater and then thought about it in the long run.

Fu Zhangzhu has a certain reputation in the county county, and her reputation is brought to her by her outstanding appearance. Even when she became a widow and an ominous representative, there were still people who admired the beauty of Zhangzhu and came to propose marriage. Either they are accepted as concubines, or they are those who can't afford to marry relatives in poor families and want to occupy a name.

Zhang's family saw that Zhangzhu was still in the market, so he didn't feel sad for too long, and still helped Zhang Luo's family affairs. The poor family couldn't get a decent bride price, and in the end, the Fu family had to post it upside down, and the Zhang family couldn't look down on it, so they set their sights on those who were asking to marry for a partial house.

"Madam, our lord is thinking about Miss Fu's good name and wants to keep it in the room, so he wants to get Miss Fu at all costs."

Zhang glanced at the matchmaker and said, "Then Master Lai is fifty-seven years old this year, and he is still thinking about accepting a partial house, how many aunts did he have in the family before?" ”

The matchmaker smiled and said, "There are a total of five concubines, and Miss Fu has six rooms in the past." Although Master Lai is older, he is capable, and no one knows the status of the Lai family. The Lai family's little family background will definitely not let Miss Fu starve and be poor. ”

"I'm about to be sixty people, and I'm still thinking about marrying a concubine and having children, which is really strong. I also tell you the truth, although our Fu family is not a big family, but it is also a figure with a head and a face in this county, the eldest girl is young, and she is a good yellow flower girl. If Master Lai wants to pay, how much bride price will he give? ”

The matchmaker smiled and compared two fingers.

Zhang Shi was surprised: "Two hundred taels?!" ”

The matchmaker said: "Mrs. Fu is dreaming, it costs two hundred taels to get a partial room?" I mean twenty taels. Master Lai doesn't want to marry twenty taels, if you think it's appropriate, Mrs. Fu, pick a good day to carry someone. ”

Zhang pouted and said, "Twenty taels? The Lai family is also embarrassed to take it. Let a fourteen-year-old girl serve an old man, this depends on the old man's ability. ”

The matchmaker was sent away, and within two days, another matchmaker came to the door.

Zhangzhu naturally knew that her aunt was in a hurry to send her out, and she was a nuisance in this family.

Zhangzhu didn't negotiate with the Zhang family, but still found Fu Chaoxian and asked: "Uncle, my niece knows that her life is not good, and she is afraid of dragging down her uncle and aunt, so she invited herself to practice in the temple, and asked her uncle to agree." ”

This is the second time that Zhangzhu has mentioned this matter, and Fu Chaoxian was stunned and said, "You are serious." ”

Zhangzhu said, "Yes." ”

Here, Zhangzhu and Fu Chaoxian were going to the temple, and when they turned their heads, the Zhang family told Fu Chaoxian about the situation that several families wanted to go to the temple. Fu Chao heard it first, what kind of concubines are they, the daughter of the Fu family's relatives goes to be a concubine? He couldn't afford to lose this face, so he said unhappily: "I'd rather marry a small family from a poor family than be a concubine from a big family." ”

Zhang Shi didn't have a good face when she heard this, she said to her husband: "I listened to you before, and you have to listen to me this time." ”

"Hanying, you can't mess around!"

"Am I messing around? I'm not thinking that the big girl will be better off in the future, what's the good of going to those poor people's houses to starve and be cold, you are just an elm head who doesn't know how to be flexible. Forget it, whether it's the palm bead or the future Mingyue, you don't have to worry about it, it's enough to take care of the limited brothers, and I'll plan for them. ”

At this time, the Zhang family could only see money in Fu Chaoxian's eyes, and those trivial things in the yamen made him anxious, and he had to face trivial family affairs when he came back, which made him miserable. Now that I heard my wife say this, I really said: "I don't care, I don't want to care, see what you can toss into." ”

Fu Chaoxian went out angrily, and the next day, Zhangzhu found Fu Chaoxian again and expressed his willingness to go to the temple. Although Fu Chaoxian was annoyed, he felt that maybe it would be better, and finally agreed to Zhangzhu's request: "If you make up your mind to go, you can go, but you have to find a quiet place to practice." "Nowadays, some nunnery is not necessarily a Buddhist place quietly, and there are all kinds of pickled things.

Seeing that her uncle was finally relieved, Zhangzhu also reverently gave her uncle a big gift. Fu Chao saw the cold look on Zhangzhu's face, and suddenly felt sorry for the eldest brother in his heart.

"Good girl, you have been wronged, uncle knows. It's better for you to go to the temple for a few years to cultivate first, after all, you are still young, and you can plan well in the future. ”

Fu Chaoxian agreed to go to the temple with Zhangzhu, and this matter let the Zhang family know, she was very unwilling, and pulled Zhangzhu and said, "You still want to become a monk?" After being a nun, you can't marry for the rest of your life, do you know? ”

Zhangzhu nodded.

"If you don't marry, why don't you want to keep the festival for the Yin family?"

"It's my own choice."

"You...... You ......" Zhang is almost mad by the palm beads.

Na Mingyue was also surprised when she heard that Zhangzhu was going to become a monk, found her to cry, and begged Zhangzhu to change her mind. Zhangzhu said to Mingyue: "Mingyue, since you can't help yourself, it's better to take your fate into your own hands." Remember this at all times and don't let yourself be too passive. ”

"But sister, you are on a road of no return."

Zhangzhu knew that Mingyue was the one who really cared for her, so she also talked to her in her heart: "Sister, do you think it is better for me to be a widow for the Yin family for a lifetime, or to marry those fifty or sixty-year-old men as concubines?" ”

Mingyue couldn't answer, she didn't have the right to blame her mother, but no matter which one was a devastating blow to Zhangzhu. She wept and said, "But the Buddha is too bitter." ”

"Are you worried that I won't be able to endure this hardship? Mingyue, maybe this is the most suitable path for me right now. "Zhangzhu needs to find a place to take care of his body now, and then wait for the future.

She gently touched Mingyue's hair and said to Mingyue, "I hope you will be happy in your future life." ”

"But sister, I also want you to be happy."

Zhangzhu can't be happy, she has long lost the right to chase happiness. She lives a tiring life, but she has to carry all the burdens on her shoulders alone. So many people died in the Xie family, someone had to stand up and say justice for the Xie family.

"Mingyue, just like me, be a strong person. Even if you feel sad, don't cry in front of people, learn to hide your emotions, and don't let people see through you at a glance. ”

Mingyue was very surprised, this sister was not like this before.
