Chapter 369: Move Out
Mrs. Zhang said this, Zhou Xiaoxiao just sneered, and kept looking at each other coldly, the smile on the corner of her mouth was full of sarcasm and disdain. Until Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, no other expressions appeared on Zhou Xiaoxiao's face.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang's anger immediately turned into disappointment, she frowned, the tip of her nose was sour, as if she would cry in the next second, she looked at Mrs. Zhou, looked at her own sister, and asked: "Ming Jingshuang, have you and your daughter always looked at me like this?" Have you always thought that I wouldn't really help you? ”
She has been running around for so many days, asking around, and using the connections she has accumulated over the years to help her find out, so that she can find a family worthy of Zhou Xiaoxiao and have to echo Mrs. Zhou's many requests, but in the end?
Not only did Zhou Xiaoxiao not understand her hard work, but even her own sister was familiar with all this, as if she deserved so many days of hard work.
How does this not make Mrs. Zhang's heart cold?
"Sister, that's not what we meant." Xu saw the tears in Mrs. Zhang's eyes, Mrs. Zhou softened a little, and her tone softened a little, "You also saw it, the appearance of the son of the Ouyang family is real... Sister, even if it is for the sake of the next generation, Xiaoxiao can't marry someone like that! ”
When she said this, Mrs. Zhou swept Zhou Xiaoxiao's face from time to time, wanting to signal the other party to say a few soft words, but Zhou Xiaoxiao kept a cold face and refused to give in at all.
Regarding Mrs. Zhou's pale explanation, as well as Zhou Xiaoxiao's attitude of refusing to give in even if she was killed, Mrs. Zhang saw everything in her eyes, she snorted coldly, stepped back and sat down again, "Since this is the case, then I can't help you." ”
"It's not okay to be too rich, it's not okay to be old, it's not good to be younger than Zhou Xiaoxiao, there are many brothers and sisters in the family, even if you have an official position, but the position is too low......" After saying so much, Mrs. Zhang was a little tired, she stopped and took a breath, "I really can't think of anyone else who can be worthy of your family's daughter." ”
When the matter came to this point, Master Zhang also echoed: "In my opinion, it's better for you to move out directly, and you won't have to suspect us of framing you again, right?" While it's still early, move out today, and don't leave a single thing behind. ”
If the mother and daughter are allowed to live at home again, there is no telling what kind of trouble will arise.
"Sister, brother-in-law, how can you... You're too ruthless! As soon as she heard that she was going to move out, Mrs. Zhou panicked, and hurriedly shouted at the top of her voice: "Sister, in this world, I am only one of your relatives, and now even you don't want me anymore, this... How do you let me live! ”
At the beginning, Mrs. Zhou relied on this set of rhetoric to ask Mrs. Zhang to help her again and again, but now, Mrs. Zhang, who has been deceived and suffered, will never be deceived by the same routine again.
She coughed lightly, and sarcastically smiled: "Ming Jingshuang, don't you still have Zhou Xiaoxiao?" It stands to reason that you are the closest people! I'm an outsider, a person who wants to frame your daughter, where can I call it a relative, right? ”
Mrs. Zhou still wanted to say something, but Zhou Xiaoxiao grabbed her arm, Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at her and said, "Mother, you can see your good sister's face clearly, right?" I keep saying that I want to find a good family, but in the end? Chose a pig's head! We first came to Bei'an, and we didn't even have a place to stay, and she wanted to drive us away, think about it, is such a person worthy of you calling her a sister?! ”
After speaking, Zhou Xiaoxiao raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Zhang, glared at her, and almost gritted her teeth and said, "You are really my good aunt!" Now it's finally revealing its true colors, right? Drive us away, okay! Let's go! Even if you sleep on the street, you will never come back! ”
"Mother! Let's go! ”
Zhou Xiaoxiao pulled Mrs. Zhou and walked out of the flower hall without looking back, because of the fast steps, the figures of the two quickly disappeared around the corner.
The room was finally quiet, and the atmosphere was not as oppressive as before. Mrs. Zhang closed her eyes, sighed often after a long time, and said nothing.
And Master Zhang stood aside and said in a deep voice: "Will you blame me for driving them out?" ”
"It's their own fault, who can I blame?" Mrs. Zhang smiled bitterly, and then sighed, "I don't know how the Ouyang family should explain it, they should be very angry after making such a fuss, right?" ”
Speaking of Ouyang You, in fact, it is not as exaggerated as Zhou Xiaoxiao said, but because he is fatter, he doesn't look so handsome, and in addition to these, Ouyang You is a very motivated, polite, and well-bred child, otherwise he would not tolerate the Zhou family's mother and daughter making a lot of noise in Ouyang's house.
Hearing this, Lord Zhang also sighed helplessly, walked down and picked up a random seat to sit down, lowered his head and said in a dull voice: "What else can I do, I will go over tomorrow morning to make amends, after so many years, Ouyang shouldn't embarrass me for this matter, right?" ”
"But after all... Ay... It's all my fault. Mrs. Zhang was helpless, picked up a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, her voice changed and changed, but she still couldn't hide the overflowing cry.
Master Zhang wanted to comfort him, but his heart was also a mess, he was very irritable, and he couldn't think of what words to comfort the other party in a short time, so he had to sigh and bow his head.
The flower hall fell into complete silence, and even the sound of the other party's breathing could be heard clearly.
At the other end of Zhang's mansion, that is, the courtyard where the mother and daughter of the Zhou family lived, Mrs. Zhou was complaining noisily about why Zhou Xiaoxiao pulled herself out.
"Do you know that once you leave here, not to mention how to solve our residence, just talk about your marriage, who else can you ask for help? Zhou Xiaoxiao, I have worked hard to cultivate you for so many years, why did your brain not work at a critical moment?! ”
But Zhou Xiaoxiao ignored the other party at all, just packed up her things one by one, and by the way, she also put away the hairpins and other hairpins that Mrs. Zhang had given her before, put them in her bag, and prepared to take them away.
The more the other party didn't speak, the more Mrs. Zhou chattered, and finally simply threw all the salutes that Zhou Xiaoxiao had packed on the ground, letting those packages scatter.
Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was packing her luggage with her back to Mrs. Zhou, stopped her movements, turned around, and said unhappily: "Mother, what are you doing?" ”
"What do I do?" Seeing that the other party was finally willing to take care of herself, Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she talked more, "I still want to ask what you want to do?" Zhou Xiaoxiao, have you ever thought about where we should live when we move out, and how should your marriage be resolved? Once you have a stalemate with your aunt's family, will you dare to marry you in Bei'an City? ”
This Zhang Shangqi has been an official in the court for so many years, and he has dealings with many powerful people in Bei'an City, and now he has offended him so rashly, wouldn't Zhou Xiaoxiao's marriage in the future be even more difficult?
But Zhou Xiaoxiao just laughed when she heard this, she squatted down to put away the burden on the ground, and said unhurriedly: "Mother, have you forgotten that we still have the card of the county lord." Three days later, it's the Lantern Festival, and we've already made an appointment with the county lord to have dinner at the Zuixian Building, and the county lord has agreed. ”
Compared with Zhang Shangqi, whether it is status, wealth, and connections, the county lord is much more powerful than him.
"That's right!" Mrs. Zhou patted her thigh and said in surprise: "How did I forget this stubble!" Let's go, Xiaoxiao, let's hurry up and pack our luggage, find an inn to live in first, and then go to the county lord for help after three days! ”
"Mother, how to act in the future, who to associate with, you still listen to me!" Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled proudly.
Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed, so she naturally agreed: "Okay, well, then I will listen to Xiaoxiao in the future!" ”
The mother and daughter packed their luggage and loaded almost everything in the house, and then Zhou Xiaoxiao went out to find a carriage and transported these things directly from Zhang's Mansion to the most luxurious inn in the city, and moved out of Zhang's Mansion.
The mother and daughter of the Zhou family are not well-known in the city, so even if they came out of Zhang's mansion with large bags and small bags, they didn't attract the attention of passers-by, but coincidentally, all this was seen by the jade who came to Zhang's mansion to deliver things.
Because Jade came alone, he hadn't met the mother and daughter of the Zhou family a few times, so he didn't attract the attention of the other party at all.
She watched the mother and daughter of the Zhou family carry things into the carriage with large bags and small bags, and left in the carriage in a high-profile manner, and inevitably wondered: How could the mother and daughter of the Zhou family move out of the Zhang Mansion this time? Or are they leaving Bei'an City?
Suspiciously, Jade walked to the door of Zhang's mansion, and revealed that she was the maid of the county lord's mansion, who came to deliver something to Mrs. Zhang.
From this conversation, Jade learned that Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhou had a big quarrel, and then Zhou Xiaoxiao moved out with Mrs. Zhou.
At the end, the little guy pouted and whispered: "This mother and daughter are not fuel-efficient lamps, but fortunately, they moved away, and it is estimated that they will not have any contact with the lord and lady in the house in the future." ”
"They just moved out?" Jade was surprised.
The little guy snorted disdainfully and said, "It's good for them to move out, otherwise they will be powerful in the mansion all day long, and let our wife help her do this and that, I don't realize it at all, I don't know, I think they are the masters of this mansion." ”
Xu is the relationship between the same slaves, and this little guy told Jade a lot of unknown inside information.
Jade smacked her lips after hearing this, "It turns out that they are such people, I saw that the girl was beautiful that week, and her manners and speech were very decent, and I thought she was a gentle young lady, but I didn't expect that she was more annoying than the shrew in the vegetable market." ”
"Not really!" The little guy nodded, quite agreeing.
As he was talking, it happened that the little maid who had gone to pay tribute before also came back, saying that Mrs. Zhang invited Jade in.
Jade hurriedly thanked the other party, and then waved at the little guy who was chatting with her before, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go in first." ”
