396 It's a pity
Zhang County sent a letter to his family during the New Year to let his daughter come to Wucheng County, and he was also stimulated by Gao Wenlin.
At the beginning, the eldest lady of the Gao family followed Mr. Jia to Songshan Institute, and Gao Wenlin talked about his daughter every day, so Zhang Xianling also wanted to take his daughter to his side.
The eldest son has been married and stayed at home, and only brought the younger son to Wucheng County, and the eldest daughter got married.
After the Zhang family received the letter, they did not tell Zhang Yumei that they did not want her to return to her parents.
Zhang Xianling's eldest son only passed the child's life, and he was not yet a talent, so he found a way to let his son go to a school near his hometown to study. The eldest daughter has been married locally at 18 this year, Zhang Yumei is the second daughter, and the younger son is with them.
Zhang Xianling's youngest daughter was less than ten years old when he left home, and he had been researching for many years and didn't spend much time at home, so he didn't have any specific impression of this little daughter, but he remembered that he was very well-behaved when he was a child.
Who knew that after coming this time, I took a look and was depressed. It turned out that he was a little bit unaware that Master Gao was too pampered to his daughter, so the eldest lady of the Gao family grew like this, not a little lady.
But looking at her daughter at this time, she is not as good as the eldest lady of the Gao family.
Zhang Yumei didn't know that her father sent a letter to her family asking her to go to the capital of Wucheng County, and she knew about it from her uncle's cousin.
She has been following her grandmother at home, and the old lady of the Zhang family doesn't want her granddaughter to leave her. The first is that she has raised her feelings for so many years, and the second is that she has to keep one of his children at home for this son who is an official in other places, lest as the eldest son said, his wings are stiff, and it is difficult to look back.
No matter how much Zhang Yumei is with her grandmother, she still wants to be with her parents. She also knew that her grandmother wanted to give her to a nephew of her uncle's mother's family, so that the brothers in the family could be tied together in the absence of their parents in the future.
But she knows that now that she is a little lady of the official family, she naturally wants to marry well, how can she fall in love with the nephew of the uncle's mother's family?
It's not that I can't look down on the countryman, but I don't look down on the kind of person who reads in the school, eats, drinks and has fun all day long, and hooks up with the little lady at a young age.
Zhang Yumei came up with an idea, went to find the eldest sister, and then coaxed her grandmother to say that she heard that there was a draft girl in Beijing, and the children of the seventh rank official and above could participate. said that his father secretly said it in a letter to his eldest sister, and he couldn't talk nonsense about the court, and his father couldn't be an official if he exposed the news.
After a flicker, Mrs. Zhang was fooled, and then Mrs. Zhang discussed with her son, although it is a pity that the other granddaughters are not qualified to run for election, the only one in the Zhang family, it can't be delayed.
Hurry up and send it to her father, so Zhang Yumei came to Wucheng County like this.
After Zhang Xianling heard what happened to his daughter, he and his wife stared at each other, her daughter was so bold! But where did she get this idea at such a young age?
After asking, the daughter said that she watched the play with her grandmother, and wasn't the draft girl the favorite concubine in the play?
Zhang Xianling is even more frightened, does her daughter have this ambition?
But Zhang Yumei said don't take opera as life, only her uncle and they have that dream, she is not stupid.
Zhang Xianling was relieved, otherwise who would a daughter with such a great dream marry to.
Mrs. Zhang was very happy, no matter what, the daughter who thought about it at night came to her, although it was very different from what she imagined, but she was also happy.
Zhang Xianling had no choice but to continue to coax the brother who sent his daughter to come, entertained him with delicious food and drink, bought a bunch of things, gave him silver taels, and quickly sent him away.
In case the brother said something here, but he also confessed everything, this matter has not been announced yet, and he is also gossip, don't talk nonsense outside, otherwise he will go home to farm.
Hard-scalped to help her daughter lie.
Zhang Yumei grew up in her hometown, her parents were not with her, her sister got married, her brother was studying outside, and she was only close to her sister-in-law, but her sister-in-law couldn't be the master in the Zhang family.
So she learned to observe words and emotions and please her elders from an early age. Fortunately, he has a cheerful temperament. loves to talk and laugh, and coaxes her grandmother to feel sorry for her.
She also often gave her cousins small things that her parents gave her. Lest you look at her unpleasantly, you are special under one roof, and no one is uncomfortable.
Although Zhang Xianling asked his daughter to come over, he was worried again, his daughter is fourteen, it's time to find her in-law's house, how to choose?
Let his daughter make friends with the Liang son of the Jia family and the Gao family, that is a must, and it is also the main purpose of his daughter to come, the truth cannot be said.
Then he will also learn from his daughter to fool.
"Yumei, dad sees that you are about the same age as Mrs. Gao, she has a good personality, and Mr. Jia's granddaughter, you have nothing to do to play with them, I think you and them will be able to play in one place, by the way, let your mother hold a flower party, just use your name, ask who will let your mother watch it, ask your mother if you are not clear, and then let your mother take you to make some clothes and buy some jewelry."
These are all said by the father and daughter sitting in the carriage home, and after arriving home, Zhang Yumei called her mother sweetly and snuggled up to Mrs. Zhang.
Zhang Xianling looked at his face and twitched, this change of face became too fast, why didn't he give his father such a coquette?
Mrs. Zhang hugged her daughter lovingly and asked how the game was? She didn't expect her daughter to participate, and at that time her daughter said that when she wore men's clothes, there were many people who were not eye-catching.
Zhang Xianling said what he just said about holding a flower party.
"Master, I was also about to say, I inquired two days ago, Mrs. Jia has not come back from Beijing, and in a few days, I will give them a post, by the way, Master, Mrs. Qian is back, how did I hear that she is not in good health, she is recuperating, Mrs. Qian is also sick, what happened to the Qian family recently? I'll send someone to give some gifts tomorrow, has Lieutenant Qian passed over today? ”
"No, I said that there were guests at home, and the son and son-in-law of the Qian family didn't come today."
Thinking of what he thought of this county order, he sent his daughter away, and said to his wife: "I have taken a fancy to Zheng Xueliang of the Zheng family." ”
"Is it Zheng Jiazi, who is the first in the county examination?"
"It's him, it's a pity if this is for us to be our son-in-law."
Mrs. Zhang was moved and asked, "What do you say?" Is it married? ”
Zhang Xianling shook his head and said: "There is no marriage, but I heard Mr. Zhou say that Mr. Jia is particularly fond of him, and Mr. Jia has a granddaughter, maybe he also has this plan, so I don't need to intervene in a lever, so as not to offend people." ”
"The master said that the Gao family can really ......"
"It's hard to say, I'm also guessing, but I don't know what it is, it's too strange, there's no reason, I don't think there's anything special about Gao Niangzi, but how can I let ......, it's hard to say, don't tell Yumei in this regard, she is young, if you talk about it, then you will cause trouble for yourself."
Mrs. Zhang responded, but she didn't dare to say more to her daughter, but she just explained that she had to have more dealings with the little lady in the county when she came.
