In the past six months, she has been under the same roof as Shen Zheng, and she is also well aware of her parents' plans, so she naturally pays close attention to him.

Although Shen Zheng is two years younger than her, he is honest, filial, never lazy and slippery, and looks careless on the surface, but in fact, he is the most meticulous. Such a good man, she is satisfied and even likes it in her heart, she originally thought that she would be able to fall in love for a long time, and it would be a matter of time before the two of them got married, but a few days ago she heard that the second room of the Shen family bought a carriage, so she was anxious, for fear that after the Shen family got up, Shen Zheng would no longer want to be a son-in-law. So, she tried her best to persuade her father and mother to leave Shen Zheng for dinner and give him shoes, which can be regarded as picking out her words early.

Unexpectedly, things have come to this point step by step.

Zhang Qing'er was so anxious and angry that tears almost poured out.

Seeing her daughter's appearance, Master Zhang's heart softened, but after looking at Sheng Zhu, she remembered her pungent and arrogant virtue, and instantly hardened her heart.

"Qing'er, my father and mother can't do it, the Shen family wants too many dowries, five thousand taels, my mother is not enough to sell herself!"

How much money does the family have, Zhang Qinger also knows in her heart that she really can't take it out. But if she wanted to give up Shen Zheng like this, she was reluctant, pursed her lips and thought about it, she looked up at Sheng Zhu and asked, "Sister-in-law of the Shen family, if it is... If my mother agrees to give a dowry of 100 taels, can you accept San Lang to join our Zhang family? ”

Zhang Shiniang's face changed greatly.

One hundred taels, that's all their assets!

"Qing'er, you ......"

Zhang Qing'er didn't care about it, just stared at Sheng Zhu, wanting to get an exact answer.

Sheng Zhu was a little moved in his heart, this family is not a good parent, but her daughter is a good one, dare to love and dare to act. In fact, the Zhang family will not fall without money, Zhang Carpenter has craftsmanship, and his family has a field, plus Shen Zheng is down-to-earth and hardworking, it is not difficult to get rich again.

However, it is obvious that Carpenter Zhang and his wife don't think so, especially Master Zhang, one hundred taels, it is estimated that it is no less than digging her heart and eating her meat.

Sheng Zhu glanced back at Shen Zheng behind him, and asked him one last time with his eyes.

Shen Zheng was unexpectedly firm this time, and shook his head slightly at her, that is, he had already made up his mind not to enter the door of the Zhang family.

In that case, there is only one solution to the matter.

Sheng Zhu smiled at Zhang Qing'er and said, "I'm sorry Sister Qing'er, one hundred taels is too little, it's not enough for our third brother to get into one leg." ”

Zhang Qinger was disappointed.

In fact, although the eye contact between Sheng Zhu and Shen Zheng just now was very brief and vague, she had been paying attention to them, and naturally she couldn't escape her eyes.

It seems to be a little clear in his heart that the reason why Sheng Zhu opened his mouth today may not be because he is greedy for money, or he is crazy, but because he is defending Shen Zheng.

She looked at the silent young man, "San Lang, I want to talk to you alone, is it okay?" ”

Before Shen Zheng could answer, Zhang Shiniang immediately objected: "No! Qing'er, since the two of you have no drama, don't entangle it anymore, lest it be bad to spread out. You still have to get married, and your reputation can't be damaged. ”

"Mother!" Zhang Qing'er looked stubborn, "I must ask clearly today, otherwise, I will never marry!" ”

"You, you kid......"

Zhang Shiniang was annoyed and distressed, rolled up her sleeves and wanted to step forward to pat her daughter's brain and make her sober up, but Carpenter Zhang quickly grabbed her.

"Forget it, my daughter has always been very sensible, she is measured. Besides, it's our family here, and Dalang's daughter-in-law is not that talkative, she won't go outside to talk nonsense. Dalang's daughter-in-law, don't you say? ”

This is a clever remark, as if he trusts her on the surface, but in fact he is warning her to keep her mouth shut.

Sheng Zhu seemed to be smiling, "Uncle Zhang is right, I am different from my aunt, I joke with other people's reputation and the future of my family at every turn, I can't do this kind of lack of morality, and my conscience will hurt." ”

Carpenter Zhang: "......"

Zhang Shiniang opened her mouth and wanted to spray her spittle, but Yu Guang glanced at her daughter, and finally closed her mouth.

For the sake of my daughter's face, I'll spare this cheap skin for a while, hum.

In order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Qinger and Shen Zheng did not enter the room, but went to the old locust tree in the courtyard.

The two stood facing each other, as if there was a galaxy in between, Zhang Qing'er looked at him, and asked with the last glimmer of hope: "San Lang, you have been learning the craft with my father for a long time, what am I doing to you, you should know it in your heart, right?" What about you, you have eaten all the food I cooked so badly, and you still eat it so deliciously, isn't it because you also like me, so you tolerate me and make me happy? ”

Shen Zheng was silent for a while, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said self-deprecatingly: "No." Senior sister, to be honest, I'm actually... I like your father and your mother. ”

Zhang Qing'er was stunned: "...... How do you say that? ”

Shen Zheng turned his head, and there was water in his eyes, "I thought that I would treat them as my father and mother, and one day they would really treat me as a son, so I coaxed you to be happy, just because you are happy, they will be happy, and if they are happy, I will be very happy." ”

I see.

Zhang Qinger felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, not only because of her early death, but also because of her own hurt Shen Zheng. But the son does not say the fault of the father, she knows very well what kind of character her father and mother have, maybe she is selfish in the eyes of others, but as a daughter who was pampered and raised by them, she has no right to judge, let alone blame.

"I'm sorry." If it weren't for her, her father wouldn't have broken Shen Zheng's heart.

So, it's her fault.

Shen Zheng tried his best to blink back his sadness, squeezing out a simple smile, "What are you talking about?" Senior sister, it should be me who wants to say I'm sorry, I shouldn't lie to you that your craftsmanship is good, so you misunderstood. Seriously..."

He scratched the back of his head, "Actually, the things you made were very unpalatable, I vomited after eating them, and I pulled them several times, and my intestines were about to come out, and my sister-in-law scolded me at home every day." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Qing'er couldn't help but sneer, "Are you a fool?" I was uncomfortable and forced myself to eat, and I was asked to say, I should be scolded! ”

As soon as the two of them said this, they felt a lot more relaxed in their hearts, like a beam erected between each other, and disappeared silently.

Ay... Zhang Qing'er suddenly smiled and sighed: "Actually, I really want to practice cooking, but my mother said that the family always has to recruit a son-in-law, I will wash my clothes, as for cooking and serving the crops, these tasks are left to him to do, so he has always refused to teach me." Besides, my mother's craft is not much better than mine, and it is no different from not learning from her. ”

Shen Zheng blurted out: "Then learn from my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law's skills are good!" ”

As soon as the words came out, he immediately realized that something was wrong, the sister-in-law's craftsmanship was all ancestral, and a recipe could be sold for more than a dozen taels of silver, how could it be taught to outsiders?

He had a rare flash of inspiration, and quickly added: "I mean... Sister-in-law, her skills in playing kitchen knives are very good, and the dishes are very beautiful. ”

Zhang Qing'er smiled and didn't care too much.

She already had the answer to what she wanted to ask, and the carpenter and his wife were still standing in the door, glancing at them from time to time, and it was not good to continue chatting, so they entered the door with Shen Zheng one after another.

"Dad, mother, I've thought about it - San Lang is too stupid, I'm afraid that the future child will follow him. So this family is not married! ”
