Chapter 7: The Chapter Family

Zhang Yuqing turned around and told Wang Chunniang, "You wait for me here first, don't move around." Then he lifted his feet up the steps.

Mother Liu looked at Zhang Yuqing's back, the fifteen-year-old girl was slender and straight, and when she entered the flowers, she neither looked around, nor cowered and cowardly, her steps were steady, and her eyes did not squint.

Maybe it's really the seed of the eldest master of the Zhang family...... Mother Liu muttered in her heart.

Wang Chunniang watched Zhang Yuqing enter the house without looking back in horror, glanced left and right, many maids and women were secretly looking at her, she subconsciously reached out and wrapped the handkerchief around her face, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look up again.

Zhang Yuqing entered the house and found that there was only one young girl standing there in the house, wearing a red gold pearl hairpin on her head, looking at her intently.

"Wait a minute, girl, our lady has just taken a nap and will come over soon." The young girl said.

Zhang Yuqing nodded slightly, stood there with his hands down, and waited quietly.

In a short time, the beaded curtain of the inner chamber was lifted.

Zhang Yuqing raised his head and met the eyes of the person who came out.

She didn't feel anything, but Mrs. Zhang took two steps back in horror as if she had seen a ghost, and bumped into the maid who followed behind.

Zhang Yuqing immediately lowered his head.

"Why is there so many people all of a sudden, it scares me!" Mrs. Zhang stroked her chest and smiled, hiding her gaffe.

The young girl who received Zhang Yuqing immediately said: "It's the slave who has neglected her duty and forgot to talk to you first." This is ...... The girl who came to recognize her relatives. ”

Madame came over and sat on the couch and said to Zhang Yuqing, "You raise your head and tell me to take a closer look." ”

Zhang Yuqing raised her head and saw clearly that Mrs. Zhang was sitting on the couch, less than forty years old, her face was coated with thick fat powder, the corners of her mouth were drooping, the corners of her eyes were wrinkled, her eyebrows were thin, her face was narrow, her hair bun was wearing a bright purple-red peony flower, and there were two phoenix beads on the left and right sides of her hair bun.

Madame also looked at Zhang Yuqing carefully, and once again saw clearly the face that looked similar to her husband.

At that time, the twins of the Zhang family were famous handsome sons in the capital, especially the uncle of the Zhang family, in addition to his outstanding appearance, his face was like a good woman, and his literary talent was even more remarkable.

At a cursory glance, this girl's eyebrows and eyes are really exactly the same as the master of the Zhang family! is also a little similar to her daughter Zhang Yuying! On closer inspection, the beautiful and gentle face and temperament seem to be carved out of the same mold as the young grandmother of the Zhang family back then.

Thinking of the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Zhang family who died early, Mrs. felt depressed for a while, and when she looked down, she saw the gold collar hanging around Zhang Yuqing's neck.

She raised her chin, and a maid stepped forward to take off Zhang Yuqing's collar and presented it to her wife.

The collar is almost exactly the same as the circle that the young masters and girls in the house have, and the pattern and material of the jade are also the same, all of which are cut and separated from the best whole piece of jade that year, and each piece of jade is engraved with the child's name.

The piece of jade in front of him is uprightly engraved with the word "Qing".

Madame frowned slightly and asked, "Do you remember when you were a child?" ”

"I don't remember very clearly, I only remember my father's surname Zhang, my name is clear, my mother's surname is An, and my parents named me Yuqing. His father had twin brothers who looked almost identical to him. Zhang Yuqing bowed her head and said.

After a long time, the lady sitting on the couch said: "This matter is very important, and it is difficult for me to make a conclusion based on your words alone, so let's talk about it when I go to my old lady." Come, take this girl down for tea. ”

After Zhang Yuqing went out, Mrs. Zhang's face immediately fell.

The mother-in-law next to her looked at her face, figured out the master's thoughts, and said: "There is no evidence, who knows whether it is true or false!" You can tell all these things about her! ”

"Look at her face!" Mrs. Zhang's heart was on fire, and she kept fanning the fan, "The master stands with her, and anyone has to say that they are biological father and daughter!" ”

She is married to the second master of the Zhang family, although the uncle of the Zhang family Zhang Zuoming died in the troubled times, but there is also a second master of the Zhang family Zhang Zuozhen who is exactly the same as the uncle of the Zhang family, both of them are exactly the same beautiful appearance, and they are famous for being a good girl.

looks so similar, can it be said that there is no blood relationship?

"If someone else sent it, just send it away with a few taels of silver, but it was sent by the eldest son of the Lu family, how can it be easily sent away!" The more Mrs. Zhang thought about it, the more her heart became angry, and she took a few sips of tea, "I still learned that Mrs. Hui will be old." ”

Mrs. Zhang took the maid and mother-in-law to the old lady of the Zhang family.

Since she got older, the old lady of the Zhang family doesn't like to go out, she lives in a simple house, worships the Buddha and burns incense, and doesn't care much about family affairs.

When Mrs. Zhang came over, the old lady was picking up Buddha beans, and when she heard that the girl had arrived, her hand trembled, and the Buddha beans fell to the ground.

"Do you look like it?" The old lady suddenly asked without a head.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "It's a bit like." ”

"The kid of the Lu family has always been safe, and if he can bring people, it means that nine times out of ten he is the child of our family." The old lady sighed.

Mrs. Zhang sighed similarly, "It's hard to say. When Sister Qing was separated from us, she was only two years old, and she couldn't protect the things on her body, so she might be robbed by someone. ”

The old lady looked at Mrs. Zhang with sharp eyes, "You mean, someone found a girl with a similar appearance to pretend to be Sister Qing?" ”

Mrs. Zhang sighed and said, "Wealth is charming, some people ......"

"What do you think is worth it for others to have in our family?" The old lady's smile was cold, "Are you plotting that our family is going downhill year by year?" ”

Mrs. Zhang's face was red and she couldn't speak.

"There were so many families who lost their children back then, and there were many rich and powerful people! If you want to pretend to be someone else's child, why don't you pretend to be someone else's family, or pretend to be our family in the twilight of the day? Is our Zhang family a big card in the capital? The old lady asked.

Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to say anything.

"If Zuo Ming is still here, why is our Zhang family here!" The old lady sighed, and a cloudy tear slipped through the corner of her eye and fell on the Buddha bean.

Mrs. Zhang's eyes flashed, and she said softly: "It's a pity that Uncle left!" If it wasn't for the rescue of Sister Qing who fell into the carriage, she would have escaped with us! ”

Thinking of the tragic death of her eldest son, the old lady's tears fell one after another, I thought that the tears in this life had dried up, but I didn't expect to cry and cry.

"Mother's Day, you still have us!" Mrs. Zhang thoughtfully took out a handkerchief to wipe the old lady's tears and comforted.

The old lady stopped her tears and sighed, "Arrange a place for her, food, clothing, and shelter to take care of Sister Ying's children." There is a 1 in 10,000 chance that she is the only bone and blood of Zuoming, even if she is raised like a kitten and a puppy, she can't be thrown out and left alone, and she can't be called Mingming complaining about me under Jiuquan. ”

"Don't you see her? I'll bring her to kowtow to you. Mrs. Zhang asked tentatively.

The old lady thought of her eldest son, and burst into tears again, shaking her head, "I'm gone, let's talk about it in two days, you can settle her well." ”

When I see it once, I think of my eldest son who died tragically, and it is inevitable that I will be sad and painful once, and it is better not to see it.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and knew what to do with Zhang Yuqing.

After Mrs. Zhang left, the old lady's heart was empty, thinking of the tragic death of her eldest son, holding the handkerchief in her fingers, fidgeting, and saying to the person who was waiting: "I'd better go and see her!" ”

Zhang Yuqing waited for a long time, and finally waited for a housekeeper.

"Girl, I'll take you to your yard." The housekeeper smiled.

Zhang Yuqing asked hesitantly, "Where is your wife?" ”

Is this a recognition of her, or is it not?

"Madame has to worry about this big family's affairs, Madame is busy! When she's free, I'll come and see you! If you have anything to do, tell me the same! The housekeeper smiled and said, "This chapter mansion will be your home in the future!" ”

Zhang Yuqing followed the housekeeper and called Wang Chunniang, who was waiting outside.

Wang Chunniang's heart was like hanging a few buckets, but a bunch of maids stared, she opened her mouth to ask, and swallowed again.

When the group passed by the corridor, the old lady hiding behind the carved window of the corridor saw Zhang Yuqing's face clearly, covered her mouth, and almost sobbed.

Like, really too similar!

Looks better than any child in the family!

If she had worn men's clothes and her eyebrows were thicker, she might have thought that her eldest son, who had died tragically, was back.

The old lady staggered back two steps, and was held back by the maid who followed.

"Let's go!" The old lady could not hide the grief in her heart and turned away.

When Zhang Yuqing heard the movement, he couldn't help but look back, only to see the bamboo leaves swaying behind the carved windows of the cloister, and nothing else was seen.

The housekeeper's lady took Zhang Yuqing to a small courtyard, in the northwest corner of the entire Zhangfu remote area, there were three wings, and although the beds and furniture were simple, they were all available.

The accompanying maid simply cleaned up the dust with a feather duster and made the bed neatly.

"This is ......" The lady in charge looked at Wang Chunniang, who was standing behind Zhang Yuqing, and asked tentatively.

Zhang Yuqing said: "This is the second sister of my adoptive parents' family, Chun Niang, who will live with me in the future." ”

The eyes of several maids and women instantly gathered on Wang Chunniang and whispered.

The lady in charge looked at Wang Chunniang curiously and vaguely, thinking that this woman was very strange, it was already very hot, and she still wrapped her head and face.

"You can stay in peace first, and when the lady is free, I will arrange for you to serve the subordinates." The lady in charge smiled, "There is a small stove room here that can boil water." If you want to eat, you can ask Chun Niang to go to the big kitchen to get it, and you can take whatever you want! ”

After a while, Mrs. Zhang sent someone to send a few more clothes to Zhang Yuqing.

"That's a great thing! The colors are bright, too! I've never seen such a good dress! Wang Chunniang touched the soft and delicate satin skirt and sighed.

When it was nearly dusk, Mrs. Zhang sent someone to invite Zhang Yuqing and said that she would take her to meet several brothers and sisters in the house.

Zhang Yuqing glanced at the patched sackcloth on her body, thought about it, picked out a light pigment in the clothes sent by Mrs. Zhang, and followed the maid to Mrs. Zhang's wife.
