Sitting in the carriage back to Zhang's mansion, swaying, Zhang Yuqing's mind was in a daze.

Two days ago, she was still desperate and sad that the words on the lantern were washed away by the rain and no one saw it, but when she heard the news today, she suddenly felt that this heavy rain was not a bad thing.

General Guixin is far away in Qingzhou, she is in the capital, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, if someone in the capital notices the poems she wrote, she can't imagine what kind of disaster it will bring her!

The warm afternoon wind blew through the window and on Zhang Yuqing's face.

Zhang Yuqing's eyes gradually cleared, and after the initial stage of being at a loss, she quickly thought of a countermeasure. Only Lu Wei and the lantern stall owner knew that the poem was written by her, and these two would not associate the human demon general who killed the whole family and used human heads to engage in performance art with her as a boudoir woman, even if they heard the name of General Guixin, most of them would regard it as a coincidence.

Even if Lu Wei was suspicious, he would not denounce her. She is the daughter of the Zhang family, Lu Wei is the quasi-son-in-law of the Zhang family, she is involved in the thief, and the Zhang family is not clean, what good is it for Lu Wei?

As for the lantern stall owner, he is not afraid, and others are soft-spoken, and they are even more afraid of getting into trouble.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuqing breathed a long sigh of relief, and secretly warned himself to be more cautious in the future, act patiently, and never make the previous mistakes again.

After returning to Zhang's house, Zhang Yuqing was physically and mentally exhausted, saying that she was tired, lying on the bed and tossing and turning, and fell asleep uneasily for a while, but she dreamed of the change of Luerwei, her parents died tragically, and the nurse took her a baby to escape in the troubled times.

Nine deaths left the capital, thinking that he had escaped, but he didn't expect it to be the beginning of another nightmare.

The nurse is a woman in the inner house, the door does not go out of the second door, how do you know that this world is dangerous, just out of the capital was Wang Dali saw a lonely woman with a baby with a lot of property.

Wang Dali dragged her nurse into the woods, but at that time she lived in this body like a wandering spirit, without the power to resist, and was trampled on the ground by Wang Dali's mother-in-law, watching the tragedy happen.

Wang Dali lifted his trousers, and came out of the grove with an obscene smile on his face, holding in his hands all the things that had been scavenged from the nurse, and even the clothes were cleaned.

At that moment, her heart was full of despair and hatred.

In troubled times, human life is like a mustard.

Wang Dali killed her nurse, naturally did not mind killing another two-year-old baby, and choked her neck fiercely until the original owner completely lost his breath and threw the body to the ground.

And at this moment, a young man passed by with a boy in his arms, Wang Dali saw that the young man was powerful, and he was afraid that he did not dare to immediately go to loot the belongings of Zhang Yuqing, the baby.

Zhang Yuqing, who took over the body, seized this chance to survive, and tried his best to grab the bloodstained corner of the young man's robe.

After waking up from the dream, it was already dusk outside, and the sunset shone into the room through the dilapidated window lattice, and the reflected room was bright red, as if the blood that had covered the entire capital back then.

Wang Chunniang came in with a basin of water, twisted a handkerchief for Zhang Yuqing, asked her to wipe her face, and asked worriedly: "But you have a nightmare?" I see you sleeping restlessly, your hands clenched into fists, and you are shivering! ”

"Did I talk in my sleep?" Zhang Yuqing's heart moved and asked.

Wang Chunniang shook her head and complained half-truthfully: "You are a person, you hide everything in your heart, even when you sleep, your mouth is closed tightly, like that river mussel!" ”

Zhang Yuqing smiled and took the handkerchief to wipe her face.

Early the next morning, when Mrs. Zhang went to greet the old lady, she tentatively mentioned it, saying that she had a drink with other ladies yesterday, and heard that Mrs. Zuo Shilang of the Ministry had passed away for a few years, and now she intends to find it again.

The old lady didn't take it seriously and continued to pick the Buddha bean.

"That adult doesn't ask for family background, nor does he ask for talent, he just wants to find someone who looks pleasing to the eye and fits his heart!" Mrs. Zhang continued to laugh again.

The old lady stopped what she was doing and said slowly: "His grandson is going to marry a daughter-in-law, I'm afraid he doesn't want to marry a lady, right?" ”

Isn't that an ancestor for your children and grandchildren!

"The squire's family is rich, and if you go, you will be blessed, and if you are not right, it is not that important." Mrs. Zhang laughed.

The old lady said: "Our family Yuying has promised others, Yushu is still young, and the status of the concubine is also lower. ”

Mrs. Zhang almost turned her back on her anger, what is this called, her daughter Yuying is talented and good-looking, no matter what, not to mention Lu Wei, even if she is worthy of Tianhuang nobles, the old lady is deliberately responding to her!

"Mother, think about it, if our family can get in touch with the servant of the ministry, it will be a great thing for our family! The master has been in the position of the seventh grade for many years, and it is time to move! Mrs. Zhang said.

The old lady sighed and said nothing.

"There is also Brother Qian, who will end in two years, with Brother Qian'er's talent, the title of the gold list is only a matter of time, but we all know that the title of the gold list is just the beginning, after winning the jinshi, where to be an official is the important place! You don't plan for the master, you have to plan for the grandson! Mrs. Zhang said eagerly.

The old lady could naturally see Mrs. Zhang's unworthy thoughts, and shook her head, "It's naturally good to have a relationship with the servant of the ministry, but there is no suitable girl in our family." ”

"Yu Ying and Yu Shu are not suitable." Mrs. Zhang simply made it clear, "Isn't there a suitable one in our family?" Miss Yuqing is just the right age and looks like a peugeot, who doesn't praise her for being beautiful when she sees her? It's the old man again......"

The old lady sneered and interrupted the gushing Mrs. Zhang, "You still admit that she is the eldest concubine?" You have to send the only blood of the dead uncle to an old man who can be her grandfather to warm the bed, you don't have a face, our Zhang family still has a face! ”

Mrs. Zhang's face swelled with shame, and she secretly scolded the dead old woman for pretending, and now she is protecting Zhang Yuqing, who is it who cried and said that she couldn't see that face when she entered the house?

"Mother, don't talk to me!" Mrs. Zhang said forcefully, "It's right that I'm planning for my own husband and son, but think about it, isn't this family business bad?" She is a wild girl in the countryside, unruly, illiterate, who can see her as a serious daughter-in-law? ”

"You!" The old lady was angry.

Mrs. Zhang ignored it and said: "With an old man, it doesn't sound good, but it's affordable!" That's a second-class master! A country girl can have this creation, which is already a great blessing given to her by God! ”

"Mother, think about it again!" Mrs. Zhang stood up and said, "There are a lot of things waiting for me to make up my mind at home, I'll go first!" ”

With that, Mrs. Zhang turned around and left directly.

When she left, the old lady slapped the desk angrily, and her face was trembling, "Bastard thing!" ”

The old lady beside the old lady sighed and patted the old lady on the back.

"Over the years, she has three sons in her hands, and she doesn't take me as an old woman in her eyes anymore!" The old lady leaned back on the couch, and a water gleam appeared in the corner of her cloudy eyes.

The old lady whispered: "Madame has a strong temperament, and she says everything without saying anything, so it's no wonder that the old man and Madame quarreled when they saw the sky." ”

"She is a black-hearted person who can do everything, but she is narrow-minded and short-sighted, and she can only see the small profits in front of her!" The old lady gritted her teeth angrily, "She has been making waves at home all these years, and everyone wants to handle it!" I don't want to think about it, if I really marry that child to an old man who can be her grandfather, how can the Zhang family still raise their heads and behave! ”

The more the old lady spoke, the more angry she became, panting violently, and the sorrow came from it, and the old tears held the old lady's hand, and wept and said: "If my son Zuoming is still here, how good it would be!" ”

Mrs. Zhang didn't expect the old lady to disagree, and returned to her yard with a stomach full of anger, thinking angrily about how to get this done.

At this time, the maid guarding the door was outside to tell that the old man was back, and Mrs. Zhang was thinking that she would not be able to come forward alone, if even the old lady's own son wanted to give her niece to the servant of the ministry, see what else the old woman had to say!

When Zhang Zuozhen arrived home, she simply changed her clothes and was about to go to a dinner party, but she was pulled into the house by Mrs. Zhang, saying that there was something important to discuss.

Hearing that the lady wanted to marry the cheap niece who had just recognized her home to the servant of the ministry who was almost sixty, and she was not a lady who was not the head of the house, Zhang Zuozhen was taken aback, and waved her hand again and again: "Isn't this a practicer?" No, no, no! ”

Mrs. Zhang was annoyed, but she felt that the Zhang family was pedantic one by one, and they held on to the high and sour smell of the scholars, and such a good thing as the best of both worlds actually came against her.

"Why not? As long as we take the servant of the ministry, what do you have to worry about with Brother Qian'er's career! Mrs. Zhang lowered her voice and shouted.

Zhang Zuozhen frowned and whispered: "People may not be able to look down on that girl, besides, this thing is too lacking in morality......"

"Lack of morality?!" Mrs. Zhang was furious, glaring at Zhang Zuozhen and not choosing to speak, "I'm not here for your good!" If you have a bit of talent, how can I come up with such an unethical idea? ”

Zhang Zuozhen only felt humiliated, and poked the scar in her heart, and the more she looked at Mrs. Zhang, the more she felt hateful, and her handsome face turned into the color of pig liver.

"You think I'm unproductive? Get out, wherever you go to find someone who has a chance! Zhang Zuozhen jumped like thunder, waved his hand and smashed the teapot on the table, "You pee on yourself, what kind of character are you?" If you come out of a small family, you still think of our Zhang family?! ”

The noise and the sound of broken porcelain spread from the interior to the outside, and the people who listened were so frightened that the maids and maids did not dare to come closer. I saw the bamboo curtain lifted, and Zhang Zuozhen strode out of the house, with an angry face on his face, and walked away without looking back.

The sound of the lady crying came from the house.

Zhang Yuqian, who rushed to hear the movement, stopped a maid, "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard that it was for that girl's marriage...... the maid pointed in the direction of Zhang Yuqing's courtyard.

Zhang Yuqian stomped his feet angrily, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Why is it that mourning star again!" ”
