At this point, the antechamber is noisy. A maid came in and said that the old master and the young master were coming.

As he spoke, a middle-aged man and a stocky teenager entered the inner room one after the other.

Mrs. Zhang stood up and saluted, "Master." ”

Zhang Yuqing couldn't help but raise her head and looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a green official robe and had a well-trimmed beard, elegant and handsome, as if the young man who jumped out of the car to save her from the knife thirteen years ago had traveled through the torrent of time and came to her from the depths of her memory.

With just one look, Zhang Yuqing couldn't hold back the pain anymore, her eyes were red, she lowered her head tremblingly, and two tears fell to the ground.

She occupied the body of the original owner, and shared the meticulous and gentle fatherly love with the original owner for two years, how could she not miss and be grateful to the people who had given her gentle fatherly love and even gave her life for her!

The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Yuqing and asked Mrs. Zhang, "This is the eldest niece?" ”

"It's her! You don't know, the old lady is uncomfortable when she sees her! Mrs. Zhang whispered.

Seeing that Zhang Yuqing was still standing there, Mrs. Zhang frowned, "Why are you still here, didn't you just let you out?" ”

The short and fat boy who looked like thirteen or fourteen years old wore a green silk shirt, glanced at Zhang Yuqing, and bowed his head to greet the old lady.

Zhang Yuqing took two steps back, turned around and went out, and the old lady behind her shouted, "Stop!" ”

She stopped, turned and stood quietly with her head down.

The old lady stopped Zhang Yuqing and didn't know what to ask for a while, looked at her face that looked like the eldest son, and asked for a long time: "How have you been ......all these years?" How's it going? ”

Zhang Yuqing lowered her head and said, "It's good." ”

The old lady sighed, "In the countryside, there is a lack of food and clothing, how good can it be?" ”

Zhang Yuqing stopped talking.

"What kind of people are the parents who raised you?" The old lady asked.

Zhang Yuqing said: "It's just an ordinary farmer's family, making a living from farming. ”

The old lady thought of her granddaughter Zhang Yuying, who was famous, radiant, and a model of a famous lady, and was inevitably a little disappointed when she saw such a Zhang Yuqing, and finally asked, "Do you have any wishes that you want us to help you achieve?" ”

Zhang Yuqing thought for a while and said, "The son who sent me home ......"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang immediately remembered Zhang Yuying's unhappiness, her eyes suddenly sharpened, and she hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing with others!" ”

Could it be that this country girl has a mind about Lu Wei? No shame! What a guts!

As soon as the words came out, seeing Zhang Zuozhen frowning and looking at her with disgust, Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, softened her tone, gritted her teeth and said: "The capital is a place where etiquette is spoken, you still have to pay attention to an unmarried girl, don't talk about foreign men, let others hear it, and think that our Zhang family girl has no rules!" ”

"Can't you let someone finish talking? Like a tigress all day long! It's up to you to decide everything! You are very majestic! Zhang Zuozhen said angrily.

Mrs. Zhang's face turned red, and her chest rose and fell violently.

"Daddy!" The young man was anxious and angry, stared at Zhang Zuozhen, and hugged Mrs. Zhang's arm.

The old lady glanced at Zhang Yuqing warningly, her eyes were cold, "Finish speaking!" ”

Zhang Yuqing seemed to be frightened, dazed and helpless, and said in a trembling voice: "That son gave my adoptive parents thirty taels of silver to settle the favor, I thought that this money should not be paid by outsiders, but I have no money......

"I see, wouldn't it be nice to make it clear earlier?" A smile erupted from Mrs. Zhang's face.

Zhang Yuqing lowered her head and sneered, make it clear earlier? You're going to let me say it!

"I'm sorry for your trouble!" Zhang Yuqing bent over.

"It's all a family, what's polite!" Mrs. Zhang smiled.

The old lady didn't pay attention to Zhang Yuqing anymore.

Zhang Zuozhen looked at the young man who was snuggled up to Mrs. Zhang, "You can tell me about the homework you have learned recently." ”

The young man didn't seem to expect that Zhang Zuozhen would check his homework at this time before the family banquet, hesitated for a while, and finally stumbled and memorized an article.

Zhang Zuozhen couldn't hide the disappointment on her face, her eyes widened, and she was about to have a seizure.

The old lady hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Qian has grown, and he will work harder in the future." ”

"Yuqian, take your sister out!" Mrs. Zhang saw that Zhang Zuozhen's face was not good-looking, and hurriedly said.

Zhang Yuqian breathed a sigh of relief, felt that he had coped with this catastrophe, responded with a smile, and walked out first, Zhang Yuqing followed, and I don't know if Zhang Yuqian did it on purpose, stopped at the bead curtain, and when she came, she threw the bead curtain back high, if it wasn't for Zhang Yuqing's quick eyes to block the curtain, the bead curtain was afraid that it would hit her in the face.

"Humph!" Zhang Yuqian glanced back, saw the bead curtain on her arm, raised her chin, and snorted dissatisfiedly.

Zhang Yuqing stopped, her black eyes glowed with a cold light, and she waited for Zhang Yuqian to take two steps and widen the distance before she raised her feet and went out.

Zhang Yuqian was not tall, trotted a few steps to Zhang Yuying, sat down, and smiled affectionately: "Big sister! ”

Zhang Yuying said that she was reading a book, but in fact, her eyes had been looking at the inner room, and she had already seen Zhang Yuqian's small movements, Zhang Yuying glanced at Zhang Yuqing, who was walking slowly, and said with a smile: "Look at you, like a leather monkey!" ”

After Zhang Yuqian sat down, there were only two empty seats left, Zhang Yuqing either chose to sit next to Zhang Yuqian, or chose to sit next to Zhang Yushu, she couldn't make up her mind for a while, and saw Zhang Yushu patting the stool next to her through the hanging tablecloth, and sat down.

"Anyone in our house can come in now!" Zhang Yuqian rolled his eyes and muttered.

Zhang Yuying patted him on the shoulder, smiled and comforted: "It's hard to go home, why are you so angry?" ”

"Am I wrong? Who is she? Zhang Yuqian snorted coldly.

Zhang Yushu probably didn't expect Zhang Yuqian to be so unkind to see Zhang Yuqing, his face was a little pale, and even Zhang Yucheng, who had no heart, noticed something and took the joke book aside.

At this time, a maid in the house came over with a bowl, put it in front of Zhang Yuqian with a smile, and said, "Today, the kitchen made cheese soup, and the old lady said to give the eldest young master a taste!" ”

Zhang Yuqian glanced at it and complained in a low voice: "Sweet and greasy, who likes to eat!" ”

The maid smiled and said, "The eldest young master, try it, the old lady's heart!" I must be distressed that the young master has worked hard to study! No one else has it! ”

Zhang Yuqian had to take a spoon and scoop it up.

The old lady and her party came out of the house and sat down on the big table, and Mrs. Zhang instructed the maid to set the meal.

Zhang Zuozhen said: "There is news in the palace that the crown princess has been feeling cold recently, and several families have taken the lead, saying that the lantern festival is the second day, and every family should hang lanterns to pray for the princess." ”

Mrs. Zhang immediately asked, "Our family also has to prepare!" ”

"Needless to say? Pray for the crown princess, everyone in the family has to go! Zhang Zuozhen said impatiently.

The old lady nodded and said, "This is a major event in the palace, our family doesn't say that it is the best, at least it can't be left behind." ”

"Yes." Mrs. Zhang said respectfully.

While the maid was setting the dishes and chopsticks, Mrs. Zhang glanced at Zhang Yuqing, who was sitting there quietly, and asked the old lady tentatively: "Mother, is she ...... Are you still going along? ”

The old lady looked as usual, and said lightly: "Didn't you hear the old man say to go?" ”

Mrs. Zhang was bored, and forced a smile on her face, "I heard it." ”

After eating, the old lady said that she was tired, so the juniors dispersed.

Zhang Zuozhen and Mrs. Zhang said a few words to the old lady and Mrs. Zhang, and went back.

Walking out of the old lady's courtyard, Mrs. Zhang showed her kindness, and said in a softened tone: "Master, go to the concubine to discuss the matter of hanging the lamp!" ”

Zhang Zuozhen said impatiently: "Just hang a lamp, what is there to discuss!" What's more, what is not in your hands at home? After that, in front of a group of maids, I went straight to my aunt's yard, and didn't give Mrs. Zhang behind me a single look.

Mrs. Zhang's angry lips were trembling, and she couldn't help but cry and lose face in front of her subordinates, and when she walked into her room, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and scolded: "That broom star!" It's not good to come! ”

"Not really!" Mrs. Zhang's personal maid hurriedly agreed, "If it weren't for her, would the master be angry with Mrs.?" ”

"Madame is really distressing, such an unlucky one on the stall!"

"It's still our lady who is kind-hearted and rewards her with a mouthful of food!"

Hearing that the next person scolded Zhang Yuqing, Mrs. Zhang felt a little better, but she thought that she would take Zhang Yuqing out to hang lanterns in two days, and she would inevitably meet with good friends, and she would have to introduce Zhang Yuqing to others.

Thinking of Zhang Yuqing's beautiful face that fused the strengths of Zhang Zuoming and An's family, Mrs. Zhang felt depressed again, and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, "It's just a ghost!" ”

At the same time, Zhang Yuqian also lost his temper in the house, slapping the table and shouting: "Grandmother is dizzy!" Tell that thing of unknown origin to come into our house! ”

Zhang Yuying's face was displeased, "Why are you still holding her?" Grandmother brought you cheese soup, you really don't know what it means? It's not just to gag your mouth and tell you to stop talking! ”

"Am I holding on to her?" Zhang Yuqian said hatefully, "As soon as she came, she made her father make her mother embarrassed!" It's a broom star! ”

Zhang Yuying sighed, their parents and husband and wife have not been in harmony for a day or two, and Zhang Yuqing's absence will not affect Zhang Zuozhen to make Mrs. Zhang embarrassed.

Zhang Yuqian said this, but he was just bullying Zhang Yuqing to be lonely and miserable, and deliberately vented his anger on Zhang Yuqing's head.

"Grandmother opened her mouth to leave her, let's see her unpleasantly, just stay away from her." Zhang Yuying said.

Zhang Yuqian's heart is unhappy, but there is nothing he can do, the Zhang family is not yet his turn to be the master, remembering that he heard that this "broom star" was brought back by his future brother-in-law Lu Wei, and even Lu Wei complained, "Brother-in-law too, the illiterate country mud legs are all brought to our family!" If he doesn't bring people here, won't it be all right? I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup that broom star poured into my brother-in-law! I will see him tomorrow with the lantern, and I have to ask him! ”

Zhang Yuying's face was not very good-looking, and she scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense!" After a while, he couldn't help but defend Lu Wei, "He should have thought that the woman might be my sister, so he brought it back to the capital!" ”

"Cheap her!" Zhang Yuqian said angrily.

On the second day, Liu's mother went to Zhang Yuqing's courtyard and told her about the lantern festival in the capital tomorrow night, and the Zhang family was going out to hang lamps to pray for the sick princess.

Zhang Yuqing lowered her eyes and thought about it, and asked curiously, "Is the crown princess seriously ill?" ”
