Chong Xi (273) resignation

(273) resignation

There is one thing that has been bothering Zhang Qingting's heart, and he can't figure it out.

They had already told the Yan family about Yan Bowen's news, but why was there no sound except for the appearance of Mama Zhu? Judging from her excitement that night, it didn't look like a pretentious gesture of sadness and sadness.

Even a close old lady is fashionable and so when she gets the news of the deceased, why does Yan Bowen's only mother who wants to talk to him always ignore it? Was he completely heartbroken by his son and had nothing to say, or did he dislike him for being in prison and ruining his reputation?

Neither of these reasons can be established.

The child is the meat of the mother's heart, and it is also a treasure in the palm of his hand. Maybe the father can still be ruthless, but the mother is definitely not really so ruthless. Not to mention being expelled from the house, even if he is spurned by the world, but as long as this child still has a little merit, it is impossible for a mother to give up her own flesh and blood. Don't talk about it far away, just look at Niu Dewang.

If it is according to common sense, Mrs. Yan must at least send someone to bring a message to Yan Bowen, but there is no news about this, then there must be something wrong with it.

Zhang Qingting didn't want to find out about this matter, but he felt a little sorry for Yan Bowen. I really didn't know that I was going back, so I should talk to him like this. If you make up a lie at will, with his intelligence, he will definitely be able to debunk it at a glance, and it will hurt his heart even more in the end.

It's going to leave Beijing in a few days, and if the people of the Yan family don't show up again, then there really won't be a chance. Zhang Qingting sighed slightly in his heart, cheered up and came in with Zhao Chengcai to bid farewell to Mrs. Meng.

Because she had already greeted them before, Mrs. Meng was polite and didn't keep them too much.

The way to make money that Meng Fu wants has been opened, and it doesn't matter where Zhang Qingting lives. Besides, they are going to leave Beijing in a few days, only Zhao Yulian and Niu Dewang are left, although there are still some unspeakable careful thoughts in Mengfu, but now there is an extra cousin, after all, he is an elder, and according to Aunt Zhou, although the old man is a countryman, but he is very shrewd, I am afraid that staying in the mansion is not very easy to get along with, so it is better to let them out, Heng and Zhu are always in the capital, and it is not impossible to see each other.

As long as this business is here, it will continue to be done in the name of Zhang Qingting in the future, and after ten days and half a month, Zhao Yulian will still get their house to settle the bill. Besides, although they are on the line with Imperial Doctor Wang, they are all pinched in the palm of the Meng family's hands! If you can't fly, why do you have to hold on to it? Therefore, Mrs. Meng generously agreed to let them leave, and ordered someone to send the prepared gifts, which can be regarded as a practical gift.

Zhang Qingting glanced at the things held by a few girls, although the gifts looked many and brilliant, they were actually mediocre. It's just some second- and third-rate things used by rich and noble people to entertain guests, porcelain Ruyi and other things that decorate the façade, and a few pieces of clothing are also slightly heavier than the camphor smell, and the days of wanting to collect them are not short, I don't know where they found out the inventory they don't want.

I didn't feel a little unhappy in my heart, but when I thought about it, this is indeed human nature. With their current status, they only deserve to receive such a gift. In the final analysis, they are a family of eunuchs, they are just ordinary people, they have some friendships, and they are also based on business, and there is no need to talk about deep friendships, so there is no need for people to be too attentive to them.

Thinking about this section, Zhang Qingting suddenly became enlightened, and then looked at these gifts that were originally unsightly. Although these things are not of much use, she originally wanted to add some decorations to the house, and these things are relatively conspicuous in the homes of ordinary villagers. Since it's given away for free, and you don't need money, don't be too picky. She immediately praised and thanked her repeatedly.

Zhao Chengcai didn't have so many entanglements in her heart, she only took the initiative to ask, if there was anything to bring to Mencius, they could take it with them. In order to avoid suspicion, he also specially reminded them to seal and pack in advance and make a list, so as not to take them back with some hard words. Naturally, this Meng Mansion will not be polite, and it is agreed that when they leave, they will come to the door to pick it up.

After saying goodbye, I went back and started to move things, because Fang Dehai came for the first time, and I didn't have time to entertain yesterday, so Meng Fu sent them another table of banquets. This is just right, the family is busy, and it saves the trouble of doing it yourself.

There were not many luggage, and in the afternoon, they all packed up, and the Meng Mansion left them to rest for another night, and sent two carriages to send them to Sijing Garden early the next morning.

Thinking that the Meng Mansion should be more interested in Qiao Zhongda than for them, in addition to Aunt Zhou, he also specially sent a male butler to see him off, Zhang Qingting understood in his heart that he wanted to come over and take a look at the family background of the second son of Qiao.

waited until they were settled, and after a general glance inside and out, the people of the Meng Mansion went back satisfied.

"The drunkard doesn't mean to drink!" When they left, Zhao Chengcai muttered such a sentence, glanced at Zhang Qingting, and smiled. Because the two of them were leaving, they only set up a bunk at random in the small ear room.

Fang Dehai looked around with his crutches and was very satisfied with this place.

In the evening, I didn't expect Qiao Zhongda to personally bring Qiao Minxuan over and invite Fang Dehai and their family to dinner, this carefulness and courtesy made people feel very comfortable. Even Fang Dehai, who had always disliked these children of big families, made an exception to treat him with a pleasant face.

Seeing that they had two more old family members at once, it was safe and secure, but I was afraid that some strength would not be so helpful. Qiao Zhongda also took the initiative to ask their family if they wanted to add one or two girls or small maids, if there was any laundry and water work, they could arrange for someone in the Zhuangzi to help them.

Bao Shiming smiled heartily, "Don't be embarrassed!" The same is to collect money. It's just that you don't have to eat or live here, so the price is much cheaper. ”

That's for the best. Because Aunt Niu couldn't spare manpower at home, she originally asked Zhao Yulian in the letter to invite a girl to come back to help in the capital. If someone helps, it saves a lot of work. Even Baozhu didn't have to stay, he could follow Zhang Qingting and them back.

There is no more to say at the moment, Qiao Zhongda has already chosen a good day and an auspicious day, and in a few days it will be the time for the merchant ship to go to sea, and the Zhao family will follow the ship all the way to Yonghe Town, and it will only take one day to get home.

So they stayed here with peace of mind, familiar with the surrounding environment. Once he settled down, he found that although this place was remote, life was really convenient. Without leaving home, as long as you talk to the manager of Bao, you can buy all kinds of things you want in the capital. Moreover, the huge Zhuangzi is very well managed, quiet enough, and very comfortable to live in.

Zhang Qingting was envious in private, "If we have money in the future, we will make such a small village in Zalanburg, just our old house, then I'm afraid even I don't want to live in the market!" ”

Zhao Chengcai nodded thoughtfully, "Okay!" Then you should work hard to earn money, and when you build a big house, even if we have a few more, we won't have a place to have fun! ”

Zhang Qingting screwed him shy and angry, and ignored him for a long time.

The day before departure, the little couple deliberately went to the city and went to Lou's house to say goodbye.

Lou Ruiming knew that they were going back, so he had already prepared a gift. This gift is not as fancy as that given by Mengfu, but it is much more real than what his family sent, and it is all a specialty of the capital, and at a glance you know that it is all newly bought. It's good to take it out and give it away, or keep it for yourself.

Sincerely thanked him, Lou Ruiming patted him on the shoulder, "Chengcai, you have to work hard when you go back this time, and wait until next autumn, I can wait in the capital to hear your good news!" ”

Zhao Chengcai could only smile and be modest, saying that he would do his best, and wished his two sons could be nominated for the gold list.

Mrs. Lou seemed to inadvertently inquire with Zhang Qingting, "Doesn't your cousin still need to be treated?" Or is Miss Zhao staying to take care of it? ”

Zhang Qingting briefly told her about the arrangement, and heard that she lived in Qiao Zhongda's farm, and there were elders to take care of her, Mrs. Lou nodded and smiled, "I said that your family is also a person who knows etiquette, such a big girl, you must have elders to guard it." Although Qiao Ergongzi is not a deep friendship, but there are also several sides, he is an excellent person, although he is the door of the prince, but there is no trace of arrogance, it is extremely rare. Since they have stayed in the capital, if they are free, they often come here to walk around, but don't be separated just because you are gone. ”

"Thank you Madame for your face, I originally wanted to ask Madame to take care of it!"

Mrs. Lou suddenly changed her words, "Miss Zhao is not young anymore, but did you say kiss?" There are a lot of good people in this capital, but it's a pity that you can't live for a long time, or you can be a good friend for her. ”

When Zhang Qingting heard her words, his heart moved, I'm afraid he didn't ask his two sons, right? hesitated slightly, but it was not easy to deceive, so I had to smile and say, "My aunt has only one son under her knees, and she has been sick since she was a child, so she begged her mother-in-law to take this little sister over her family. ”

Mrs. Lou understood when she heard it, and only praised it, "What a good girl!" And he said no more.

came out of Lou's house, and went to Jishitang again, in addition to taking medicine for Zhang Qingting, he also resigned to Dr. Huang. This old doctor is a good person and a good person, and it is worth befriending.

Old Madam Huang happily personally checked the pulse of both of them, and smiled, "If you want a child at this time, it should be okay." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Qingting's face turned red, but he was overjoyed.

finally went to Mengfu, looking at the luggage in that place, Zhao Chengcai was very staggered. It was full of seven large wooden boxes, and it was still pressed and pressed, and minus and minus.

From Mrs. Meng's chatter, they realized that this was all prepared for Meng Zizhan, but when he left, he didn't bring anything, so he packed up a small bag and quietly went out with green pines and cypresses.

Because she asked them to bring things, Mrs. Meng was embarrassed to take them all out, for fear that she would be blamed for sending her son, so she "only took a small part." ”

If you have to take it all, won't it be a move? The corners of Zhao Chengcai's mouth twitched a few times, and he began to understand Mencius. But with so much luggage, if he moves back and Ming'er moves out again, in case he bumps into it, wouldn't he have nothing to do?

"Mrs. Meng, if you prepare a carriage for these luggage at an unknown date, let people send them to the dock to find us, and get on the boat directly, is that okay?"

That's fine. Coming out of Mengfu, the two of them just wanted to go to the street to call a carriage back to Zhuangzi, but were stopped by a stranger.
