As night falls, the lights come on.

The uncle's mansion on Tongtuo Street, because of the funeral in the house, there is a white gauze lantern hanging at the gate of Guangliang, and a big Yang character is written on the lantern.

There was a faint cry of grief and grief in the inner courtyard.

Occasionally, there was a loud cry, so frightened that the birds in the trees did not dare to fall into the nest.

"Uncle Guo still persuades his wife, the deceased is gone, and the living are like this." A staff member surnamed Wang suggested to his uncle Yang Sheng.

It's just that when Yang Sheng heard this, he was furious, "What's the matter, my son is gone, those murderers have not been punished, we are in our own house, we can't roar twice?" ”

"I have stopped Mrs. and didn't let her cry in front of Zhang's house, and I have already confessed to the domestic servants, and I will no longer conflict with the people of Zhang's house, what is she not satisfied with, just like Erniang said, it is an eccentric eye, it is simply biased to the heart."

"Uncle Guo said carefully."

"Lord Lang must get trouble out of his mouth." Not only Wang's staff, but also Mr. Liao, also opened his mouth.

Seeing that Yang Sheng was unimpressed, Mr. Liao had to ask: "Lord Lang asked himself, how does it compare with Zhang Shangshu?" ”

Seeing Yang Sheng's gaze, looking at him like an idiot, the result was self-evident, and Mr. Liao asked again: "That lord Lang thinks that in the heart of the palace lady, who has the most weight in the heart of himself or Zhang Shangshu?" ”

This time, Yang Sheng was directly silent, but his face was gloomy.

Mr. Liao can see that although this Yang Sheng is famous for straw bales, at least in this matter, he still knows in his heart, so he raised his hand and persuaded hard: "Master Lang, there is a case that Zhang Shangshu can't compare with you, then the mother's surname is Yang, and the mother and the owner of Lang are brothers and sisters, and this blood relationship is endless." ”

"The glory of the Yang family today has to be entrusted to the mother and the saint, as long as the mother and the saint are in one day, the honor of the Yang family will always exist, the old body says something that does not listen, once the Yang family loses the protection of the mother and the saint, the prosperity of the Yang family today will be like a surging river, and it will never return."

"Lang is mainly bent on estrangement from his mother, which will only make the relatives hurt, and the enemy is fast."

Yang Sheng listened to Mr. Liao's words, and heard it in a fog, "Old Liao, what do you want to say, just tell me directly, don't go around in circles." ”

"Please enter the palace tomorrow and ask for peace ...... Niangniang"

"I'm not going." Yang Sheng almost didn't think much about it, and then interrupted rudely.

As soon as Mr. Liao heard it, he knew that what he had just said was in vain, so he reminded: "Lord Lang, Zhang Shangshu has entered the palace today." ”

"What does it matter to me that he enters him." Uncle Yang said angrily.

"Zhang Shangshu entered the palace this time, maybe Zhang Xin and Zhang Xian's two boys will be acquitted."

"She won't."

"As the saying goes: When you meet three points of love, the lord of the lang hasn't even seen the face of the mother, how do you know that it won't, he begged the mother in person, the mother may not agree, Zhang Shangshu only has one son, Zhang Xin."

Yang Sheng couldn't refute this, and he was short of breath.

He knows too much about the eldest sister in the palace, and Lao Liao's words can almost make him agree, if the eldest sister can really listen to him, he will not leave the palace in a hurry that day.

Mr. Liao looked at Yang Sheng and agreed with him, so he said: "If Niangniang is an ordinary woman, her husband is dead, she can remarry, but now Niangniang, as the mother of the saint, is destined to not be able to remarry, then, the people who are really close to the mother, except for the saint, are the people in the uncle's mansion." ”

"Brother and sister have no overnight feud, as long as the Lang master enters the palace, the mother will not only abandon the previous suspicions, but also feel guilty because of Erlang's death, unable to severely punish the murderer, and want to make up for the Lang master."

Mr. Liao saw that Yang Sheng was already moved, so he said again: "Erlang has passed away, but Mrs. is still there, Erniangzi is still there, the Lang master can ask the wife for a decree, and the Erniang can be transferred back to Luojing. ”

"Will the mother agree?" Yang Sheng was deeply skeptical.

Mr. Liao saw that he had already moved Uncle Yang, so he stroked his goat's beard and said calmly: "It's one thing for Niangniang to agree or not, if you agree, but everyone is happy, so Lord Lang must mention it." ”

"Besides, when the second lady returns to Beijing, she can also persuade the lady."

Yang Sheng thought about the changes in Erniang Zhaohua in the past two years, nodded his head, expressed his agreement, and glanced at Mr. Liao, "If it happens, I will reward you with a big mansion." ”

There is no fate, it has always been Mrs.'s heart disease, and Erniang went to Qingyang alone, and it is about to become Mrs.'s heart disease.

Perhaps if he had done these two things, his wife would no longer be immersed in the pain of losing a child.

——*——*——

Zhang Xi's wish was soon fulfilled.

On the eve of the eldest sister Zhang Yu's marriage, Aya took charge of the Shangshu Order, recorded the Shangshu Affairs, and served as the waiter, and opened the mansion with the three divisions, and the house could set up a number of people, such as Peng's subordinates, literature, sacrificial wine, and the record room.

At the same time, the eldest brother Zhang Xin and Balang Zhang Xian also returned to Luojing safely.

The only bad news is that Yang Zhaohua, the lord of Qingyang County and the second mother of the Yang family, was transferred back to Luojing on the grounds of his mother's illness, and this time he will almost certainly not leave.

The eldest sister's marriage, Ah Niang still did not return to the house, but Ah Niang asked everything in the house.

The wedding follows the ancient rites, according to the Han system, no music, no banquet, and candles are lit at home for three days to send mourning.

Zhang Xi looked at the back of the eldest sister in a dark dress and boarded the car, tears flowed down in a hurry, and the ninth aunt next to her hugged her into her arms, "Ah Yan, don't cry, Ah Ming is often in Beijing, and he can often see him in the future." ”

Zhang Xin and Zhang Xian, as well as more than a dozen clan brothers, followed them to see off their relatives and followed the wedding car.

Because she was young and needed to be taken care of, she didn't go to get married.

From Hehuifang, to Chengfufang in Dongcheng.

After sunset and dusk, the lights and candles of the marriage procession, mighty and mighty, illuminated both sides of the Luo River, even the sky, the full moon of the sixteenth, lined with the loss of brilliance, the front guard of honor, has arrived at Chengfufang.

At the end of Hehuifang, there are still more than 20 dowries that have not gone out.

After the dowry man left, only the candlelight of the remaining house was shining.

That night, Zhang Xi was sent to Yaoguang Temple and sent to A-Niang, A-Niang's nun, and the candle flame was also not extinguished for three days.

The eldest sister married into the Cui family, although they were both in Luojing and were relatively close to each other, but before the temple meeting, the eldest sister could not go home, and the Cui family's ancestral home and family temple were in Qinghe, so the bride's temple ceremony needed to be completed by returning to Qinghe.

According to the ritual system, the bride enters the temple ceremony in March, which indicates that the bride is recognized by the ancestors, recognized by the husband's family, can participate in the sacrifice, and after a hundred years, can enter the ancestral shrine of the husband's family.

This means that Zhang Xi will not see his eldest sister for at least three months.

“…… A-Niang, please tell Aya about it, let me go to Liangzhou, I don't want to stay in Luojing. ”

"Okay, I'll find a chance with you Ayati."

"When?"

"Years later." After Hua Lingyi finished speaking, she blocked her son's request in advance, "Your sister only has one brother, she goes back to her parents' house to live in the opposite month, and she needs you to pick it up, and it will take three months for her to complete the temple ceremony, so she can't be in advance." ”

"If you don't stay to pick up your sister, be careful that you Aya beats you."

"Okay," Zhang Xin hurriedly raised his hand in agreement, "Then you can say okay, you must help me say something when the time comes." ”

"Yes." Hua Lingyi promised that since the last teahouse incident, she didn't want her son to stay in Luojing anymore.

Zhang Xi had not yet recovered from the reluctance of the eldest sister to get married, when he heard that A-Niang and the eldest brother were discussing the plan under the corridor that the eldest brother would leave Luojing and go to Liangzhou after the year.

She longs for the family to get together often, and there is no difference.

So when I heard the news, I was even more depressed.

"Ah Yan's birthday is coming, have you ever thought about how to spend it?" Zhang Xin got A-Niang's permission, jumped over the railing in a good mood, and saw the little sister Zhang Xi squatting under the steps with a strained face at a glance, so she asked aloud.

Zhang Xi replied listlessly: "I don't want to hold a birthday party, I want to receive gifts." ”

When Zhang Xin heard this, he puffed out his eyes and glared at his little sister, "If you don't hold a banquet, how can you receive gifts?" ”

"Then you go to the banquet, and I'll receive the gift."

Zhang Xin couldn't help but be angry, he was a Langjun, where did he know how to hold a birthday banquet for the little lady, this was not to embarrass him, but after the eldest sister got married, the affairs of the inner courtyard of the family were concurrently served by Mu Zhubo's wife, and no one really presided over the banquet.

"Hold a banquet, but I can give you an extra gift for my brother." Zhang Xin deliberately coughed to hide his embarrassment.

"It's not rare, anyway, it's not what I want."

Zhang Xin reached out and pinched Zhang Xi's round cheeks, "It's really not rare, Wang Zhen's calligraphy, Xie Wei's painting book, I see that you have been collecting these things, and you are not rare?" ”

It's a pity that as soon as he heard this, Zhang Xi was very spineless, and his eyes were shining, which made Zhang Xin turn his head and smile at Hua Lingyi: "Auntie, maybe our family will be able to produce a Mrs. Wei in the future." ”

Madame Wei was a famous female calligrapher in the previous dynasty.

Hua Lingyi looked at her eldest son and youngest daughter, and joked: "Whether there can be a Mrs. Wei, A-Niang doesn't know, but it is still possible to produce a collector of calligraphy and painting." ”

Zhang Xi suddenly felt that his face was hot.

Since she began to collect the works of Wang Zhen and Xie Wei in the previous dynasty, the people in the family, from Aya to her brothers and sisters, have been paying attention to the famous calligraphy and paintings for her.

In the last dowry of the Cui family, there were several famous calligraphy.

The eldest sister picked them all out and gave them to her.

After A-Niang heard about it, she also reprimanded her for this.

"Lady, Hua Liuniang came to ask to see you." I saw Shen Yu walk in from outside, walked in front of Hua Lingyi, and whispered.

When Hua Lingyi heard this, her face suddenly changed, "I don't see." The tone is stern and the attitude is resolute.

"With us, there is also Princess Lu, the king of Beihai."

Hua Lingyi frowned, she and Princess Lu, the king of Beihai, had no friendship, but she also knew that what Liuniang said last time was afraid that it was what this Princess Lu meant, but last time her words had been said so clearly, but I didn't expect them to give up yet.

If you don't see it, I'm afraid that this Princess Lu will come to the door every day.

She couldn't be bothered.

Now that the main lord is here, she might as well make it clear with the main master, so she told her eldest son Zhang Xin: "Ah Gou, you take Ah Yan to Changqiu Temple, or the gold market, Ah Niang has guests here to come." ”

Zhang Xin answered and pulled Zhang Xi away.

Zhang Xi was reluctant to leave, she vaguely heard the words Princess Lu just now, if she guessed correctly, the only one who can call Princess Lu Lu the title of Princess Lu is Beihai Princess Lu Xin'er.

But Lu Xin'er is the proud person in front of Empress Dowager Yang, she came to find A-Niang, Zhang Xi is really not at ease.

"Ah Yan is obedient." Hua Lingyi's face was a little serious.

Zhang Xin didn't want her little sister to make A-Niang angry, so she coaxed: "Let's go, my brother will take you to the gold market, as long as you like it, I'll buy it for you." ”

"Don't spend money indiscriminately." Hua Lingyi thought about the 10 million yuan that her family had only recently gone out, so she hurriedly advised.

Zhang Xi also expressed deep suspicions, not to mention the elder brother, even at home, there are not many coins saved recently.

"Don't worry, my brother has a private room." Zhang Xin squeezed his eyes at the little sister and went out with her in his arms.

After all, there are only three children in the family, and the money has always been very relaxed.

Donating 10 million yuan does hurt his muscles and bones, but he is still there at all, and he is relatively tight in the past two or three years, so he will not wronged the child, besides, he has accumulated over the years.

"How many private rooms do you have?" As soon as he went out, Zhang Xi asked.

"It's not for you to worry about, it's definitely more than enough to buy you a few gift gifts."

"Brother, the gift I want doesn't cost money."

Zhang Xi's words were very sweet, and with a smile on his face, Zhang Xin felt like he was being stared at by something, and he was uncomfortable, "Ah Yan, speak well, just say what you want, don't beat around the bush, and don't pretend to be cute." ”

"Put me down." Zhang Xi said angrily, sure enough, he couldn't talk to his brother well.

Zhang Xin probably felt that such a little sister was normal, so he put down Zhang Xi very obediently, and then took her hand, "Have you thought about it, what do you want?" ”

"By the way, you can't do it either?"

"Don't use the agitation method, this trick won't work for my brother." Zhang Xin said with a smile, and added, "Don't say it, when you get to the gold market later, Brother will make his own decisions." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xi became anxious by himself.

Just let her say something, she wants to say that the conquest of Dong'an County ordered Gu Ba to enter Shangshu Mansion as a staff member, and Brother will definitely ask the reason, and it is estimated that after that, he will go to find out Gu Ba clearly.

Gu Ba has a file with him, and he can't stand up to investigation at all.

said that she was happy with Gu Ba's son, although it was a fact, but she was looking for death, and she didn't know how to die.

said that Gu Ba has a better way to catch snakes, and it is estimated that Brother Ah can find her a bunch of snake catchers and a bunch of snakes.

Scratching her head, she couldn't even think of a good reason.

"Yo, the county lord of Huayin and Qilangjun are going out of the temple."

A familiar voice sounded, Zhang Xi looked up, it was the Beihai Princess Lu Xin'er and the sixth cousin of the Hua family, Zhang Xi and Zhang Xin first saluted Lu Xin'er, and then shouted cousin to Hua Liuniang.

Zhang Xin arched his hand, "The princess and cousin are invited first." "Stand aside and give way, lower your eyes slightly, and don't squint.

Lu Xin'er saw Zhang Xin up close for the first time, and couldn't help but look at it twice.

The green pine is very dialed, and the spring willow is clear.

is indeed a rare good character, but I understand a little, why Empress Dowager Yang is so insistent and must let her niece marry into the Zhang family, one is for her own knot, and the other is Zhang Xin's outstanding talent.

looked at Zhang Xi, who was standing next to Zhang Xin, and couldn't help but smile and said: "I haven't seen Huayin in the last few times I have entered the palace, has Huayin not entered the palace for a while." ”

Zhang Xi prevaricated: "Recently, there have been happy events at home. "The eldest sister is married, and everyone in Luojing knows about it.

"Yes, the marriage of Zhang Banniang and Cui Shisanlang is huge, and it can be regarded as a sensation in the entire capital." When Lu Xin'er said this, she glanced at Zhang Xin next to her, and laughed again, "Perhaps, in a few days, there will be another big happy event in the house." ”

Great event.

Does it mean the eldest brother's family affair?

Zhang Xi was shocked, and his head suddenly became transparent, this Lu Xin'er came over and came to find A-Niang, probably to be a matchmaker for the eldest brother and the eldest lady of the Yang family.

A-Niang is so disgusted with the Yang family, how could she be willing to let the daughter of the Yang family be her daughter-in-law.

remembered that long before Sister Aying, Empress Dowager Yang had the idea of letting Aunt Yang marry into the Zhang family, but later, because of A-Niang's resolute attitude, Aya refused.

This time, Empress Dowager Yang actually sent someone directly to find A-Niang.

This Lu Xin'er looks like a laughing Maitreya, but it is by no means easy to get along with.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Xi refused to leave the temple, so as soon as Lu Xin'er left, she said to her eldest brother Zhang Xin: "Brother, I was in the palace before, and I seem to have heard Niangniang mention that I want to marry the eldest lady of the Yang family to Brother, and Princess Lu came to find Niang, I am afraid that she came for this matter." ”

Zhang Xin listened, his body stiffened for a moment, and then said calmly: "A-Niang won't agree." ”

Of course, she knew that A-Niang would not agree.

But Lu Xin'er will definitely think of other ways to get A-Niang to agree.

"Princess Lu is very happy in the palace, I'm worried about Niang, we won't go to the gold market, brother, let's go back to the nunnery, okay?" Zhang Xi looked up at his eldest brother.

Zhang Xin hesitated for a moment, saw the worry in Zhang Xi's eyes, and nodded.

Seeing that Zhang Xi's several Fu Mu nurses were far away, and Zhang Xi's voice was not loud, they should not have heard it, but at this moment, he was glad that he didn't like to be surrounded by elderly servants in the past two years.

Zhang Xin stretched out his hand and beckoned a few Fu Mu nurses to come closer, "You go outside and wait first, I left a seal in the nunnery, and I want to go back and get it." "If it's something else, they can pick it up for them, but their personal seals are easy not to fake others.

He and Hu Yue were busy responding.

Zhang Xin picked up Zhang Xi again, "I'll take my sister with me." Without waiting for them to respond, he hugged Zhang Xi and walked in the direction of the nunnery.

He Hu Yue and the others looked at each other a little.

Hu Yue said with a smile: "Lang Jun and the little lady's brother and sister have a good relationship, which is a good thing." ”

When Zhang Xi and the others arrived outside the nunnery, Lu Xin'er and his party had just entered the door.

A polite greeting was going on in the courtyard.

Zhang Xin did not enter the hospital, but walked to the left, found a corner against the meditation room, and then put Zhang Xi down and told him seriously, "Don't make a sound." ”

Zhang Xi just nodded, and then heard Zhang Xin say seriously: "Remember, you will enter the palace less in the future." ”

"Got it."

Zhang Xi should be very happy, looking at the appearance of the eldest brother, it is estimated that in that life, she grew up in the palace and became the eldest brother's heart knot, so every time they meet, they will pick their noses and eyes at her.

I saw Lu Xin'er's laughter coming from the courtyard, "Master is sure that he wants to talk to me in this courtyard." ”

Hua Lingyi was stunned for a moment, she was not used to being called a mage for the first time, and replied lightly: "It's in the courtyard." "The living room is her personal daily living place.

The person in front of her is not the same as her, and she is reluctant to bring people into the house.

"If you don't want to go to your living room, you can go to other empty rooms, and there are some things that we can know ourselves, and we really don't need to let everyone know, right?" Lu Xin'er reached out and flicked the hem of her clothes.

Of course, she could see Hua Lingyi's resistance to her.

But she didn't care.

As far as she is concerned, as long as the goal is achieved, she really doesn't care about those cold faces and those hot sarcasm.

"Please."

Hua Lingyi led the way and led the person to the meditation room where she often recites scriptures, "You can sit at will." After speaking, Hua Lingyi sat down first, and then said: "There is no one here, there is a grandmother guarding outside, you can talk directly if you have something." ”

"You're a cheerful person, too."

Lu Xin'er praised, "But before I start, I want to talk about something that happened recently in the palace. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Hua Lingyi to respond, she said bluntly: "A few days ago, this princess just threw a pregnant beauty in the house into the fire. ”

"Seventeen years old, budding to be released, graceful, and very much liked by the king, the king heard that she was dead, cried once, shed two tears, and was sad for three nights, and then, the king slept as usual and rewarded the beauty with food."

"Yesterday I talked to the king, and the poppy's family came to the door, guess what the king said?" Lu Xin'er paused, looked at Hua Lingyi, and asked.

"Your family affairs, poor nuns are not interested."

"But Princess Ben just wants to find someone to talk to." After a pause, Lu Xin'er continued: "The king asked me rhetorically, who is the poppy?" As he spoke, he burst out laughing.

Hua Lingyi looked at Lu Xin'er, who was laughing like crazy, and said coldly: "If you just want to show off your ability to handle family affairs with the poor nuns, and the poor nuns are not interested in listening, you can go." ”

Lu Xin'er restrained her emotions almost immediately and stopped laughing, "You are really anxious, I finally found someone to talk to, you have to let me finish the story, don't you?" ”

"Her parents came to the palace and wanted to seek justice for their daughter, to be honest, this princess has a lot of things, and she really disdains to deal with their Shu clan, and they toast and don't eat to eat and drink, so they went to Luojing Mansion to complain, and in the end, the family was sentenced to a hundred boards on the crime of falsely accusing the clan, and was sent to the border of the Western Regions as a slave, and the family property was confiscated."

"Before they could get on the road, the old father and mother died."

Speaking of this, Lu Xin'er seemed to suddenly remember, clapped her hands and said, "I forgot to explain the background, although that poppy beauty entered the house as a concubine, but later checked, she was really from a good family, the family has a lot of land, and her parents are also a cherished child, but this poppy beauty is conceited and has always wanted to climb high branches, so she climbed to our house." ”

"You say, if she finds a husband who is the right person at home, or if her parents are knowledgeable enough about current affairs, where will she end up with an old father and mother dying early, and her brothers and nephews being slaves on the frontier, right?"

Hua Lingyi suddenly shouted, "Lu Xin'er, you're enough." ”

Lu Xin'er could see Hua Lingyi's excitement, but her tone was even more flat, "Why, do you think I'm mocking you with this beauty's business, to be honest, it's really not." ”

"Follow Liuniang, I can also call you a cousin."

"Even if you don't accept it, my Fanyang Lu family is a famous family, and you are also a noble daughter of the scholar family, we both have the same background, if I insult you with a concubine, it will also insult myself."

"Sharp teeth." Hua Lingyi snorted coldly.

"Okay, you don't like to hear this, I'll tell you another story......"

Hua Lingyi directly interrupted Lu Xin'er's words and said bluntly: "You don't need to say it, unless I die, otherwise, I will not allow the daughter of the Yang family to enter the door." ”

"Don't say it, if you really die, Aunt Yang may have married into the door a long time ago."

Lu Xin'er didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with her words, and continued: "Marriage is always the order of your parents, and the matchmaker says, if you die, Shang Shuling alone can decide the marriage of your family Qilang, according to the relationship between Shang Shuling and the Queen Mother now, the day will sit together, and the night will stop together." ”

"For the Queen Mother, letting Shang Shuling agree is just a matter of getting your hands on it."

As soon as she heard this, Hua Lingyi's heart turned over, and then a stream of blood surged up her throat, "Get out, you get out of me, since Zhang Ying can agree, why are you still coming to me, what are you doing here." ”

"The order of parents, isn't there still a mother......"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Xin'er felt that she was being pulled vigorously, and when she turned around, she saw Qilang Zhang Xin's dark and gloomy face, "You let me go and tell the Yang family that I will not marry the eldest lady of the Yang family." As he spoke, seeing that Lu Xin'er was not leaving, she shouted in the direction of A-Niang, "Do what you can." ”

actually stretched out his hand and directly lifted Lu Xin'er out of the courtyard, and that Hua Liuniang was so frightened that she withdrew from the courtyard.

Zhang Xin grabbed the little sister Zhang Xi who ran to the door, and with a bang, closed the door of the nunnery.

Then picked up the little sister Zhang Xi hurriedly went to the meditation room to see A-Niang.

"Auntie."

"Auntie."

As soon as Zhang Xin and Zhang Xi's brothers and sisters entered the door, they hurriedly shouted, seeing that there was a mouthful of blood in front of the futon, and there were blood stains on A-Niang's mouth, they were all so anxious.

Zhang Xi struggled to get off the ground and trotted in front of A-Niang, "A-Niang, don't listen to Princess Lu's nonsense, Brother A's marriage, as long as you don't agree, Aya will definitely not agree, so you must live." ”

Zhang Xin knelt down on his knees, "A-Niang, I promise you, if you don't marry the daughter of the Yang family, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry with your body." ”

Hua Lingyi looked at the pair of children in front of her, especially her three-year-old daughter, she was so anxious that she seemed to be lost, her eyes couldn't help but be slightly wet, and she reached out and hugged her little daughter into her arms, "Don't worry, A-Niang will be alive." ”

If you really want to seek death, this is not the time.

When the Hua family fell, she did not seek death, so now and in the future, she will not seek death.

Because he vomited a mouthful of blood, Zhang Xin was not at ease, so he brought Dr. Tian to check A-Niang's pulse, but Dr. Tian only said that it was the blood and qi to attack the heart, just cultivate well, and it was no big deal.

Zhang Xin was relieved.

After this incident, Zhang Xin's firm belief that he wanted to leave Luojing was shaken, he stayed in Luojing, he could protect A-Niang and A-Mei, if he left, if such a thing happened again, who would protect A-Niang and A-Mei.

Pinning his hopes on Aye, if it was in the past, Zhang Xin would not have the slightest hesitation.

But now, thinking of Princess Lu's sentence, the day is to sit together, and the night is to rest and stop together.

Zhang Xin didn't dare to rest assured.

——*——*——

After that, Princess Lu did not come again.

This matter is like the wind passing without a trace, and no one mentions it again.

Soon it was September 12, Zhang Xi's third birthday.

Because he had already said that he would not hold a birthday banquet, in addition to a few acquaintances who gave gifts, Zhang Xin led Zhang Xi to Changqiu Temple to burn pillar incense, and then went to Huicifang to kowtow to the elders of each room, and went back to Yaoguang Temple to accompany A-Niang for lunch.

As soon as the two of them entered the courtyard gate, they saw Aya standing in the middle of the courtyard.

"Ayer." The brother and sister shouted at the same time.

"I'm back." Zhang Ying smiled, walked towards her little daughter, squatted down, and reached out to pick her up, but saw that her little daughter was busy hiding behind her eldest son Zhang Xin.

Zhang Ying was stunned for a moment, but heard her little daughter say: "My son is already three years old, and I don't need to be hugged." ”

"Okay, three years old." Zhang Ying rubbed the top of his youngest daughter's head, then stood up, looked at the eldest son who was with him in front of him, and frowned, "What have you been busy with lately, I can't see you at home when I see the sky." ”

"You will report to the secretary the day after tomorrow."

"I'm not going."

"If you don't go, you have to go, I've already done the paperwork for you."

When Zhang Xin heard this, he was so anxious that he blushed his neck and roared, "Then you can go by yourself, I said it earlier, I won't go into the secretary prison." ”

Zhang Ying suddenly became angry, "Then you say, what are you going to do, you are sixteen years old, you still think you are young, fooling around all day long, either you will go to the secretary and supervisor to report the day after tomorrow, or let your aunt find you a family affair, you give me an early marriage." ”

"I don't marry the daughter of the Yang family."

"Who let you marry the daughter of the Yang family?" Zhang Ying looked stunned.

"Except for ......" Zhang Xin had resentment in his heart, and blurted out that he was about to say it, but Zhang Xi, who found the clue, interrupted Zhang Xin's words.

"Ayah, it's my birthday present."

Zhang Ying was stunned for a moment, looked at her youngest daughter's tone, but softened a lot, "It's all at home, you will definitely like it when you see it, and Aya will take you home with you later." ”

Obviously, Lu Xin'er came over to listen to the orders of the Empress Dowager Yang, and it was the behavior of the Empress Dowager Yang, which had nothing to do with Aya.

Hearing the voices of her children, Hua Lingyi walked out of the meditation room.

"Ah Hua." Zhang Ying took her little daughter and walked over.

Hua Lingyi nodded coldly, and then instructed Shen Fei to put Su Zhai in the living room.

Eat silently, sleep silently, and after that, no one spoke.

The atmosphere was depressing, which made Zhang Xi very uncomfortable.

It's like a stranger, but it's about that.

Zhang Xi was thinking about whether he would not have birthdays in the future, so that A-Niang or Aya would not have to stay together to eat.

Everyone's rules are excellent, one case and one meal, the spoon and the dinner bowl, there is no collision sound, only Zhang Xi, occasionally seems to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart, and the jingle sound caused Hua Lingyi to look sideways again and again.

When the meal was finished, the servant stepped forward and removed the table, gargled with water, and washed his hands.

Everything was silent.

It wasn't until the servant woman retreated that Zhang Ying spoke: "Ah Hua, you persuade Ah Gou to let him report to the secretary the day after tomorrow, start with the secretary Lang, stay in it for two years, and then I will transfer him to other positions." ”

"No need, let him go to Liangzhou in the next year."

Hua Lingyi directly refused, and then said: "A few days ago, Princess Liang has sent me a letter, listing some famous ladies of the right age in Liangzhou and Qin County, I fell in love with the seventeenth mother of Wuwei Jia's family, fourteen years old, and in the boudoir, his grandfather has been a staff member of Liangwangfu for three generations, and his mother is the Du family of Qin County. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ying's brows furrowed, he looked at the son and daughter under him, stopped the words he was about to blurt out, and said to Zhang Xin and Zhang Xi: "You two brothers and sisters go out first, Aya and A-Niang have something to say." ”

"It's about my marriage, I want to stay......"

"Get out." Zhang Ying scolded loudly, his face was unprecedentedly serious.

Zhang Xin glanced at A-Niang, looked at A-Niang and nodded, before picking up Zhang Xi out of the living room.

With a bang, the door let Zhang Ying get up and pull it up, cutting off everything outside and in the house, Zhang Ying didn't even have time to sit back on the couch, so he hurriedly opened his mouth, "Ah Hua, I can't figure it out, we have a son, why do you have to let him go to Liangzhou, it's far away, and he can't see each other once a year." ”

"Let's let him take Huan's knees and grow in front of him, okay?" Zhang Ying's eyes were full of questions.

"There's no why, if Agou wants to go, let him go."

"You don't indulge your children like this, besides, you didn't always be strict with your children before, why are you old, but you are used to indulging." Zhang Ying really couldn't figure it out.

"Let Agou go to Liangzhou, I insist."

"If you don't have a valid reason, I don't agree." It's about his son, Zhang Ying won't give an inch.

"Okay, you want a reason." Hua Lingyi suddenly became a little excited, "Then let's talk about Ah Ying, I have a lot of choices, a good son-in-law, just gone, which of you can compensate me for one." ”

"I'm worried that as long as my son is in Beijing for a day, as long as I don't choose the daughter of the Yang family as my son's wife, my son will always be without a wife."

"Zhang Ying, tell me, is this reason enough?"

"I'll say it again, as long as I am there for a day, my son will not marry the daughter of the Yang family."

Yang family daughter, Yang family daughter......

This is the second time he has heard his wife and children mention it after entering the temple, Zhang Ying stretched out his hand and pinched his brows, "Can you tell me, what's going on, who said that Agou would marry the daughter of the Yang family, didn't I promise you, Agou's family affairs, let you decide." He has always insisted that his son-in-law should be in harmony with the family, otherwise, it will be easy for the family to be restless.

Therefore, he only interfered in choosing a son-in-law, and never interfered in choosing a son-in-law.

"You don't know?" This time it was Hua Lingyi's turn to be surprised.

Zhang Ying is still confused, "What should I know?" Did the Yang family send someone here, or was it in the palace? ”

"It's from the palace, it's Princess Lu who came, and she came to tell Qilang and the eldest lady of the Yang family." Hua Lingyi lowered her head slightly, since Lu Xin'er came, she had always thought that he was calculating her with people outside.

"I see." Zhang Ying replied weakly, "You don't have to pay attention to these, I still say that, you have the right person, tell me." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked out, just walked to the door, pulled the door's hand, and paused, "Ah Yan, I will take her back today, and I will send it to you tomorrow, you help persuade Ah Gou to let him report the day after tomorrow." ”

"He's not leaving right away." After Zhang Ying finished speaking, he said: "Whether to go to Liangzhou or not, let's talk about it later, let him do something first, I can't let him do nothing all day long like now." ”

Hua Lingyi pondered for a while before agreeing, "Okay, I'll persuade him." ”

After saying this, Zhang Ying stretched out his hand to open the door, put on silk shoes, and walked out of the house.

Looking at the children in the courtyard with tense faces and somewhat similar expressions, he smiled, "It's okay." Then he walked in front of Zhang Xi, "Let's go, go home with Aye." ”
