The smile on Zhang Yuqing's face faded.

Mama shook her head, sighed and said, "Girl, I know that the old lady doesn't want to see you, so why bother to ask for this?" Do you have to wear off the last bit of affection? ”

Zhang Yuqing took a deep breath: "Mama, I am also the flesh and blood of the Zhang family......"

"If it weren't for the catastrophe thirteen years ago, if the eldest master was still there, you would be like the Yuying girl in the family, you would be a coquettish guest raised by the Zhang family, no matter what, you wouldn't be where you are today." Mama interrupted Zhang Yuqing's words, and looked at her with a cold face, "But who told you to die badly?" ”

Zhang Yuqing exhaled a mouthful of hot resentment, and her chest was tumbling with an almost uncontrollable sour resentment.

"Indeed, I should have died outside." Zhang Yuqing's back was straight, and her eyes were cold, "But God won't let me go, and let me continue to live, live and suffer in this world, and won't let me go to reunite with my parents." ”

Mama frowned and said, "Why does the girl talk like that? The old lady has long been at home, and the lady is always in charge of all matters in the family, so it's useless for you to come to the old lady. ”

Zhang Yuqing's eyes were clear and firm, "Please also ask Mama to go and see if the old lady is awake, I only ask the old lady for a small matter, and I will never embarrass the old lady." ”

Mama looked at her hesitantly, and saw that she had no intention of leaving, so she had to say, "I'll go and see again." ”

After a while, a little maid came over and said, "The old lady is up, the girl is here!" ”

Zhang Yuqing raised her heel and entered the old lady's house.

The old lady sat in the inner room separated by the bead curtain, kneeling on the futon neatly dressed and picking up Buddha beans, and a full bowl had been picked up next to her, not at all like she had just gotten up from a nap.

The so-called picking up Buddha beans is to burn incense and chant scriptures, pass the soybeans one by one in front of the Buddha, and then squeeze the enshrined soybeans into oil and send them to the temple to worship the ever-bright lantern, which can better reflect the sincerity of the believers.

Just as Zhang Yuqing was about to lift the bead curtain and enter the inner room, she was stopped by her grandmother, "Girl, if you have something to say, just stand here and say it." ”

"Old lady." Zhang Yuqing shouted.

The old lady turned her back to Zhang Yuqing and did not look back, "There are some things that others should have told you, the lady is in charge of everything in the family, what are you doing with me?" ”

"This morning, Madame came to me and wanted to promise me to an official who is over half a hundred years old." Zhang Yuqing said.

The old lady stopped what she was doing.

Zhang Yuqing continued: "I heard the meaning of Madame's words, if it wasn't for my grandmother's objection, Madame was afraid that she would have sent me over." I have come to thank you for your favor. ”

The old lady still turned her back to Zhang Yuqing and said, "You are a smart one, and you know that it is not a good place to go." But you don't have to thank me, I'm more worried about the reputation of the Zhang family. ”

Zhang Yuqing said calmly: "It's just that this time it won't work, there will always be a next time." ”

This time, Mrs. Zhang's calculations are too disgusting, and the old lady will object, but next time, what about next time? As long as Mrs. Zhang wants to practice her and want to exchange her for benefits, she can always find someone who makes the old lady feel that it is okay.

Maybe the other party is only over forty years old, not too old, and maybe he is a person who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and even has domestic violence.

Anyway, she is just a country girl, and being able to be the wife of Shangguan is already a great creation, so she has to be picky about her age, personality and hobbies?

The old lady looked at the Bodhisattva with kind eyebrows in the incense in front of her, and murmured sadly: "You have been coming to Zhang's house for so many days, Miss Qianjin's life is not as comfortable as you imagined, right?" It is better to live in a farmer's family for a lifetime, marry a farmer honestly, have children, and have children and grandchildren when you are old. What do you say you're doing here? ”

Zhang Yuqing took a deep breath, "Old lady, the matter has come to this, even if I go back to my adoptive parents' house now, I can't go back." ”

At the beginning, Lu Wei was wrapped around her face and asked Lu Wei to take her into Beijing, which was already a helpless move for her to be forced into a corner, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a battle of trapped beasts, and it was not an exaggeration to grasp the last straw.

She was kidnapped by Wang Dali, her adoptive father was killed by the enemy, and her brother, who grew up together, was nowhere to be found.

In contrast, a wicked person of Mrs. Zhang's level can already be regarded as a little freshness in martial arts.

"You don't want to be pinched by her, but she has the three male grandchildren of the Zhang family in her hands, and that is the future of the Zhang family. Although I am an old lady, I have to respect her. What do you have? You don't have anything, what are you going to do with her? From the moment you stepped into the door of Zhang's house, you were pinched by her! The old lady sighed desolately.

Zhang Yuqing said: "I only ask the old lady for a grace. ”

"I'm old, everyone in the family listens to her, my old lady is just a false name, I can't help you anything." The old lady shook her head, "You go, it's useless to beg me!" ”

Zhang Yuqing raised her voice, "Old lady, who is the person you are enshrined in front of the Bodhisattva?" ”

The old lady ignored her.

"It's my father!" Zhang Yuqing gritted his teeth and asked, "You picked up Buddha beans to go to the temple to light an everlasting lamp for my father, didn't you?" ”

The old lady suddenly became furious, stood up and walked to the door, and cursed without words: "Shut up! You don't deserve to mention me! If it weren't for you, how could my son have died so miserably! I'm so glad I could let you in! What more do you want! Something that is not greedy enough! Harmful spirits! Lonely Star! ”

"God doesn't have long eyes, let you, the harmful Tiansha Lone Star, live, and my son is dead!" The old lady stared at Zhang Yuqing with fiery eyes, as if she was looking at the murderer who killed her own son, her teeth creaked, and the old tears were ruffled, pointing at Zhang Yuqing and scolding viciously: "Why is it not you who died!" ”

Zhang Yuqing couldn't hide the pain in her heart anymore, took a step forward, and was indignant, "It was Hu Ren who killed my father, not me!" You hate me, but you don't dare to resent the people who really do evil! My father's spirit in heaven saw that his daughter who exchanged his life for was ignored by his closest relatives, and you are worshipping in front of the Buddha for a hundred years, and he will never rest in peace! ”

The old lady was stared at by Zhang Yuqing's cold dark eyes, and in a trance, as if the ghost of the dead Zhang Zuoming was staring at her, she took a step back in fright, almost fell to the ground, and was held by the maids.

"You, you!" The old lady pointed at Zhang Yuqing, her chest was tight and short of breath, and she couldn't speak.

Zhang Yuqing's back straightened and looked at her coldly.

Mama gave the old lady a good breath and accused Zhang Yuqing: "The girl has such a big temper! The old lady is old, but she can't stand your toss! ”

"My father left early, and it stands to reason that I should do my filial piety in front of the old lady on my father's behalf. But I also knew that the old lady didn't want to see me, and when she saw me, she remembered that the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, which was in vain. Zhang Yuqing said.

Mama was not angry, and glared at Zhang Yuqing, "You know, what are you doing here!" Deliberately make the old lady unhappy! ”

"Madame had previously issued an injunction not allowing me to go out. I know that I am an eyesore, and I came here to ask the old lady if she can let me leave the Zhang family? From now on, whether I am good or bad, it has nothing to do with the Zhang family! Zhang Yuqing said word by word.

The old lady who was panting in the maid's arms suddenly raised her head, and subconsciously looked back at the tablet of Zhang Zuoming enshrined on the incense case.

The Buddha incense is lingering, and the tablet made of ebony is solemn and solemn.

Looking at Zhang Yuqing's cold and indifferent face, her straight shoulders revealing an arrogant and unyielding stubbornness, the old lady trembled in her heart, turned her head away, and said, "You are a little girl, where can you go if you leave the Zhang family?" ”

"Can you not be sent to the old man as a plaything to warm the bed." Zhang Yuqing said bluntly.

The old lady endured her anger, gritted her teeth and said, "You can rest assured that I won't agree, and your uncle won't agree either!" ”

"But......" Zhang Yuqing frowned and spoke.

The old lady waved her hand to interrupt her words, and said coldly: "It's just talking, and I don't really want to send you there!" You don't have to come to me and look so aggrieved! No matter how depressed our Zhang family is, we won't drive out the girl who took it into the house again! Why did you leave the Zhang family, it has nothing to do with the Zhang family, you are here to blackmail me? ”

Zhang Yuqing was furious, "My parents died, my grandmother didn't like it, she had no long things, she was sent to the fence, and her life was in the hands of others, what should I threaten you?" ”

"Don't mention the matter of leaving the house again!" The old lady angrily slammed the tea cup on the table, "Spread it, how can the Zhang family still have a face!" ”

Even if Zhang Yuqing is not the blood and blood of the late eldest master of the Zhang family, but the adopted daughter of the Zhang family who recognized her because she saw her "face" and thought about people, she is also a member of the Zhang family. If the Zhang family raises people for a few days and then leaves them to fend for themselves, won't it be a joke after tea and dinner in the capital!

Zhang Yuqing was silent, a pair of hands clenched into fists on his sleeves, and he exhaled for a long time before he could barely suppress the monstrous anger rolling in his heart.

"Since the old lady doesn't want me to leave the Zhang family, can you give me a promise?" Zhang Yuqing said.

The old lady was silent for a long time and said, "What promise do you want?" ”

"For the sake of my deceased father, please allow me to go out freely, and if I can find a good family for myself, please let the old lady do it." Zhang Yuqing said.

The first thing is not difficult to do, there are not so many restrictions on boudoir women nowadays, Zhang Yuying goes out every once in a while and has a handkerchief to party, even the concubine Zhang Yushu is not restricted from going out, only Zhang Yuqing is forbidden to go out by his wife.

As for marriage...... The old lady shook her head, "Whimsical! Do you find it for yourself? How do you find it? How important is the reputation of the girl's family, you have this heart, don't do anything to disgrace the Zhang family! ”

"I can swear by my deceased father's spirit in the sky that I will never do anything harmful to the reputation of the Zhang family, otherwise I will be at the disposal of my wife!" Zhang Yuqing raised his hand to the sky.

The old lady was shocked and shouted, "Shut up! ”
