Chapter 866: Eavesdropping
This daughter has such a cold attitude, but she feels a little strange.
I used to think she was cowardly, and I felt that she was useless. Unexpectedly, under that weak appearance, he actually helped a delicate heart.
"Daddy? Are you worthy of being my father? I'll call you Dad, that's a great way to save face, okay? She sneered again.
"Child, although you and I are usually silent, we are always related by blood."
"When I was eating that cold steamed bun with my aunt, why didn't you care about the so-called blood? Don't you think it's funny what you're saying now? ”
Old Man Zhang was discouraged, thinking that Zhang Ruoqing would not agree to his request today.
Yes, I really don't treat her well. He didn't believe that a concubine could have any ability, and it was useless to regret it now, right?
"However, if you want to save the Lin family, it is not impossible, but you have to pay a painful price."
"What!" Master Zhang suddenly became interested, could it be that this Zhang Ruoqing is willing to take the blame?
I saw Zhang Ruoqing smile, and slightly hid the slender hairpin he had just held in his hand into his sleeve.
"Dad, why don't you go to the prison? In this way, it doesn't cost money, and it can save people, isn't it a double win? ”
"You!"
Master Zhang was so angry with her that he had a headache, how could this rebellious girl say such a big rebellious thing?
But because Zhang Ruoqing always kept a distance from him, he didn't want to scold her much. said that it was a father and daughter, but in fact, it was more like an enemy.
"Hahaha, you want me to be a scapegoat? You're too whimsical, aren't you? ”
"Not a scapegoat, Ruoqing!"
"I don't know your mind yet? As for you, I can tell what you're thinking with my fingers. Dad, I just didn't shake out your affairs because of the love between you and my father and daughter, don't you know how to cherish it! ”
Zhang Ruoqing smiled again, and her bright smile couldn't help but make people feel a little embarrassed.
Like, what she said was orderly!
Mr. Zhang was glad that he didn't drink water, otherwise he was afraid that he would choke to death by the water.
When he couldn't ask for help, he had to sigh. "Ruoqing, since you don't agree, then I'll take back the Juxian Pavilion."
"For me, is this Juxian Pavilion important? My aunt's dowry is enough for a lifetime. ”
"That's good!"
Master Zhang was angry, and in a fit of anger, he snatched back the note he had just drawn, and tore it up in front of Zhang Ruoqing.
In the end, he glanced at her hatefully, such a rebellious girl, presumably there will be no future for her. That's it, don't ask her too!
She watched Master Zhang slam the door and walk out, and her eyes meowed at the hairpin hidden in her sleeve from time to time. There is no one to help her, if she doesn't want to protect herself, she won't know if her life is lost one day.
Yan family
Because of the visit, the servants in this house have become more diligent. For fear of neglecting the guests because of a momentary negligence, these people were busy with hurried steps and expressionless faces.
"Oops!"
"What are you doing!"
At this time, Yan Ran was coming back from outside in the garden, and was poured a basin of water by a little girl who was walking with her head down. Her clothes were all splashed with water, and the vivid deep purple instantly turned a dark red.
She couldn't help but feel a little excited, this dress was one of her favorites! I finally put it on today, but I don't want to be splashed in front of this little girl!
"Miss, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! As soon as Yahuan saw that it was Yan Ran, she quickly knelt down to apologize, her eyes were dumbfounded, and she didn't dare to look at Yan Ran at all.
"What's going on? In such a hurry, there is a beautiful man in front of you? ”
"No, no, no! Miss forgive the sin, the slave didn't mean it! ”
Yan Ran gave her a roll of the eyes, and felt that it was not interesting to blame her more.
They didn't mean it, and they apologized. If she holds on to it any longer, she will be stingy.
Yan Ran: "Where is this going?" ”
Yahuan heard that the eldest lady was not very angry, so she said softly: "The slave maid is going to the guest room, and the house has been occupied with distinguished guests in the past two days." ”
Yan Ran: "What distinguished guest?" ”
Yahuan: "It's Lord Taishou and his wife, I heard that it is Miss Wen's father and mother." ”
When Yan Ran heard this, she suddenly remembered Wen Shengsheng's appearance in her mind.
Every time Wen Shengsheng appeared, his mother would be so angry that her eyes would be dizzy. Now that Wen Shengsheng's family is here, ...... her mother?
I saw Yan Ran running away, and ran towards Yan Mu's residence in a gray manner.
Yahuan is a little confused, it's just that, the eldest lady doesn't care about herself. I saw that she hurriedly picked up the basin that had fallen on the ground, and went back the same way to continue filling it with water.
In the garden, flying saucers are flying, and small beige flowers are blooming slightly on the branches.
The sun is shining, and the floor that was soaked by the rain yesterday is slowly dried. As soon as the wind passed, I saw a few orange-orange leaves falling from the sky, and then falling on the grass or the neatly paved green bricks.
Coincidentally, the swallow mother felt that the house was very boring, so she came out for a walk. Her eyes were staked, and she immediately saw that it was Yan Ran.
"Sister Ran, where are you going?" Mother Yan shouted through a few flower beds.
"Mother!"
As soon as Yan Ran saw her mother standing on the opposite side, she was overjoyed, and then rushed up with a "sigh".
A child can be naughty in front of his mother, but not in front of outsiders. No one has the patience to tolerate a woman with a big grin, especially a woman who has entered her husband's house.
"Mother, I'm back! Are you alright? Yan Ran asked.
"Okay, okay, everything is fine, I'm bothered."
"That's good!"
Yan Ran breathed a sigh of relief, she thought that her mother was going to be angry again.
A few days ago, she did hear that Wen Shengsheng woke up suddenly, and the guilt in her heart was even heavier, so she was faintly excluded from her.
She really can't stand Wen Shengsheng, but she doesn't know how to face it!
Yan's mother held her hand affectionately, but she didn't feel it. "Mother, I heard that there are guests in our house?"
"Yes, it's Shengsheng's parents."
Yan Ran was puzzled, looking at the appearance of this swallow mother, she seemed to be quite happy? No, these people shouldn't fight, right? Yan Cheng suddenly didn't understand, this adult world is really strange!
"People came here in person, so we naturally wanted to entertain them. Otherwise, we will fall into the hands of others in the future, and our Yan family can't afford it. ”
"What are you afraid of her doing? She dared to say, we won't say go back? ”
Yan Ran was angry, with a faint hostility towards this Wen Shengsheng family.
I don't know why, this Wen Shengsheng himself is just hard to like.
Yanmu pulled her aside to talk again, and the two of them muttered for a while, and because the place was quiet and few people came and went, Yanmu dared to speak.
"What? They might as well grab it! So much bride price! "Yan Ran almost gritted her teeth, it's really hateful!
Yanmu hurriedly covered her mouth and didn't let her speak, she couldn't be listened to at this time. Otherwise, people should talk about their Yan family's stinginess behind their backs!
"Mother, don't follow them. Whoever they love to marry her, then marry her. Our Yan family has no shortage of such a daughter-in-law as her. Besides, how good is she and deserves so much of a bride price? ”
"Sister Ran, there are some things that can't be said, otherwise it will be disgusted by people."
"They just deceive people too much! I don't like it! ”
Yan Ran crossed her hands, looking angry. She has long regarded everything in the Yan family as her own, and now that an outsider wants to take away her family property, how can she be willing?
"Silly girl, just give it. Anyway, we are not nothing, and when Yancheng makes contributions in the future, our life will be even better. ”
"Mother, do you think that with Wen Shengsheng here, Brother Cheng will have a time to make contributions?"
The two fell silent for a while, according to Yan Cheng's spoiled wife's unbridled temperament, it seems that they really can't. He follows her in everything, but I'm afraid that I can't wait to be by her side every day.
The mottled circles under the shade of the trees are like broken pieces of glass decorating the ground.
Through this heavy flower garden, Wen Shengsheng can still see the swallow mother and them clearly. Of course, because it wasn't very far, she listened to it word for word.
Her heart sank, she never imagined that her parents would ask for such a high bride price. I don't know, whether they marry a woman or sell a girl!
Thinking about going back and reasoning with them doesn't seem to be very good. After all, this is in the Yan family, and their own people are soft-spoken, if they say such things, I am afraid that they will embarrass themselves even more. She frowned slightly in distress for a moment, not knowing what to do at all.
The birds on the branches were chirping, and the noise was unbearable.
Wen Shengsheng secretly hid in this flower garden, and pricked up his ears to listen to the two people opposite.
"I think she's hypocritical, mother, or we don't want her." This is Yan Ran's voice.
"How's that going to work? Actually, this kid is quite good. You and I need to bear with me, and the future will be better. ”
"You just spoil her, and you don't look at who is so angry with her that she vomits blood!"
Yan Ran glared at Yan Mu, who was also slightly embarrassed. Who knew what this kid was doing was so infuriating, if she knew, she wouldn't be like this.
"Everyone is here, then they are coming. In the future, you are also going to other people's homes, this pungent character should be collected, otherwise you will be disgusted by your mother-in-law's family, how can your mother help you? ”
"Huh! I'm not like her, I can ask for so many bride price, she might as well grab it! ”
"Shh Mother Yan watched her daughter speak louder and louder, and she became worried. This daughter, with such a temperament, what can she do?
Yan Ran doesn't care, she has been in charge of the family since she was a child, and her temperament is a little more arrogant.
"Mother, are you afraid of her, what are you afraid of her doing? Could it be that Brother Cheng is gone, she won't live long? ”
