Zhang Ying finally asked her sister Zhang Yan to go with Zhu Youxiao, which is also what Shen Biyao meant. Because Zhang Yan is naturally kind and weak, it is impossible to follow her sister to mix the rivers and lakes. Besides, Zhu Youxiao wanted to marry Zhang Yan as his wife, and he didn't treat her badly, so Zhang Ying didn't force her to stay.

A few months later, in April of the 46th year of Wanli, news came that there was a drought and famine in the northeast, and the Jurchen Nurhachi issued the "Seven Great Hatreds", raised troops against the Ming, and the Ming Dynasty was shaken.

Sure enough, within a few days, the Shen family sent a message and asked Zhang Wen to discuss the matter, because it was inconvenient for the county government to speak. Shen Biyao now doesn't live in the original Shen Mansion, which was once used as a tax factory, and a big mansion with six entrances is empty.

Shen Biyao lives in "Zhujiazhuang", ten miles outside the city, where there is a manor. Zhujiazhuang is the legendary classic love story "Liang Zhu", the hometown of Zhu Yingtai.

Zhang Wen rode out of the city on horseback, he had been in Shangyu for so long, and it was the first time he had come to this famous place. Playing takes time and mood, and Zhang Wen undoubtedly doesn't have that leisure, but this time it's a look.

Zhujiazhuang is located in the mid-mountainous area, south, west and north are surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is Yushui River in front of the village, the river is in the shape of a long strip from north to south, and the forty-mile river that was dug in the Western Jin Dynasty is connected. The Shen family manor is on the bank of the Yushui River, surrounded by a large number of peach trees, it is April, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and it is extraordinarily magnificent.

Along the petal-covered path, Zhang Wen entered the manor under the guidance of the slaves and maids of the Shen family. The manor was very quiet, and it was rare for Miss Shen not to hide behind the bead curtain, and at this moment Yi Shui was standing, with her back to Zhang Wen, picking up the peach blossoms on the ground.

Zhang Wen stopped a few steps away.

Shen Biyao heard Zhang Wen's footsteps, and didn't look back, "Hangzhou, Zhejiang salt class lifting." ”

Zhang Wen was a little puzzled after hearing this, you must know that the promotion of the salt class in a province is from the fifth grade, even if he was not demoted, but it is also the sixth grade, and he has not done any political achievements in Shangyu, why did he be promoted to a level?

Of course, there may be Zhang Yan's sake, but why did the minister of the DPRK and China agree to let Zhang Wen rise to such an important position without knowing it? Although the promotion of the salt class promotion division is only from the five grades, but the biggest official of the yamen is the promotion, this yamen has great power, directly under the central household department, and even the political secretary can't manage it, it is full of oil and water, how many people want to do that position.

Zhang Wen was naturally a little happy, his qualifications could be promoted to such a position, and greater authority was just around the corner. He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and heard that Shen Biyao's tone was wrong, so he started with a trivial matter: "What is Miss Shen sad?" ”

There was silence inside for a long time before I heard Shen Biyao say, "Farewell." ”

The warm breeze was blowing, but Zhang Wen choked lightly when he heard Shen Biyao say those two words, as if there should be a bleak piano sound in the distance at this moment, seeing that there was no one else around, thinking that she was finally going to say something to herself, and the official position was also something she helped fight for, so it made even more sense, because in this way the distance between the two of them was reduced little by little, just like his footsteps at the moment, trying to get closer to her little by little. Shen Biyao was waiting for him, and Zhang asked to know. "If you are hurt, why bother saying goodbye?" Zhang Wen stretched out his hand to Shen Biyao, as if trying to appease a white rabbit he met in the forest. "Do you really want to guard the eternal love wound and be lonely for a lifetime?" The spring breeze blew her clothes, April day, but she wrapped herself tightly. Zhang Wen peeked at the rippling shadows on the water, and a fluttering white blocked in front of Shen Biyao.

The moment Zhang Wen touched Shen Biyao's arm, Shen Biyao dodged suddenly.

"Adults, please respect yourself!! I'm hurting the loss of Aunt Di! Also, what I've been through, what I think and think, has nothing to do with you! The big husband rarely listens to people chewing the root of the tongue. ”

Shen Biyao turned around suddenly, covering the veil with one hand and pressing the collar with the other, the veil trembled with her body, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of anger and fear. Zhang Wen seemed to vaguely see a red snake wrapped around her neck the moment she turned around, and Zhang Wen was not sure. Later he was puzzled, she was sad about the loss of Aunt Di? What happened to Aunt Di?

After a long time, Shen Biyao's voice calmed down and said, "My lord, I invite you to come over today, I actually want to preside over the marriage between you and Aunt Di in this quiet place, and my lord doesn't object, right?" ”

Miss Shen's sudden proposal met Zhang's intentions, but caught him off guard.

"You confessed in front of the prince that day, and now everyone in the officialdom knows that she is your wife, if you don't make it true, I'm afraid it will not be good for your career and the reputation of Aunt Di."

Shen Biyao was reasonable, Zhang Wen didn't refute it, this proposal was already beneficial to him, he just didn't expect that he lied to Zhang Ying in front of someone just to give himself a shield that day, but he neglected to tell what he was lying in front of someone. If it weren't for Shen Biyao facing him, when he would see the prince again, it would be a big deal for people to ask about it.

"But since everyone knows about it, this marriage can't be publicized. But Aunt Di, no, Zhang Ying is a sibling sister to me, and I don't want her marriage to be regretted, so everything is arranged by me. ”

Zhang Wen nodded, this marriage is helping him to fulfill his lies, and it is also fulfilling his dreams for him, Shen Biyao is so righteous, he feels even less worthy of her at this moment. "So, does she agree?"

Shen Biyao glanced at him, as if to say that she would not rashly ask Zhang Wen to say this without Zhang Ying's consent, but Zhang Wen remembered again, Zhang Ying was Shen Biyao's subordinate after all, so Zhang Ying agreed, but for whom?

After Zhang Wen and Shen Biyao finished talking, they lived in the manor and prepared for the wedding. If it is according to the regular one, there should be six rituals: asking for names, nacai, najib, nazheng, asking for dates, and greeting relatives. But Zhang Wen and Zhang Ying's wedding, I don't want outsiders to know, so it's much simpler.

However, the preparation of "Geng post" and other events is indispensable, that is, the eight characters of the two people, which must be consistent. The village has been cleaned up, pasted red paper, hung lanterns, arranged a new house, and put the stepmother Wu on the high hall to worship, and also toasted tea, everything looks so festive.
