Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhang Yuqian and said in shock: "What nonsense are you talking about!" Where can I buy this roll? They deceive you when you are young, coax you! ”

Looking at Zhang Yuqian's irritable face, Mrs. Zhang swallowed the words "to be killed".

"You know what!" Zhang Yuqian was impatient, "The township test is just a test of talent, and the imperial court is not strict, and it is not as important as lifting people and jinshi!" They are all young masters and sons of the court officials, and they are very familiar with the person who asked the question, and they just want to help the family earn a little money! If they hadn't looked up to me, three thousand taels of silver wouldn't have been able to buy a roll! ”

Mrs. Zhang was skeptical, Xiucai was definitely not as strict as the Jinshi exam, but she still felt bottomless, and persuaded: "Son, if you are not sure, it will be too late to take the exam next year and the year after tomorrow!" You're only thirteen years old, what are you afraid of? ”

What she didn't say was that if she couldn't pass the exam, Zhang Zuozhen would have more reasons to scold.

"That's not going to work!" Zhang Yuqian was not happy, and shouted angrily, "My father scolded me when he saw the sky, if I didn't take the test to show off and come out to gag him, he wouldn't know how to humiliate me!" ”

Mrs. Zhang covered his mouth, stomped her feet and said, "My son, what are you doing so loudly?" I know that your father is going to lose his temper when he hears it! ”

"Mother, you give me money, and I promise to give you a show before I come back! I'm only thirteen, don't people have to praise me for being a young talent? Wait for the year after next year, when there are more teenagers of the same age who are admitted to the exam, how can I be revealed? My uncle was a talent show at the age of twelve, why can't I? My reputation is out, and in the future, who will not look up to me? ”

Mrs. Zhang's heart moved.

Zhang Zuoming is a talent in the twelfth middle school, and a person in the sixteenth middle school, all of whom are the top of the list in the same period, and are highly praised.

Why can Zhang Zuoming be so beautiful, but her son can't?

"It's not fake, is it?" Mrs. Zhang asked worriedly.

Zhang Yuqian shouted: "Those people are all from the Beijing Polo Team, can their identities be fake?" If it weren't for the fact that they got along with me, I wouldn't have known about such a good thing! ”

Seeing Mrs. Zhang's hesitation, Zhang Yuqian said again: "Mother, people want me to give them an answer tomorrow, and if you want a roll, you will pay the money on the spot, and if you don't want it, you can't tell you about it!" After this village, there is no such shop! ”

Can Mrs. Zhang not hesitate? Three thousand taels of silver! It's not a strong wind, Zhang Zuozhen is a poor man for a month, how many years can he save to save enough three thousand taels?

However, she thought about it, if Zhang Yuqian was thirteen years old, everyone would praise him as a young talent, living up to the prestige of his ancestors, and the benefits of it could not be bought for three thousand taels of silver. As the old lady said, the Zhang family has been going downhill for too long, and there are no outstanding children who support the portal, and they are about to become a family that is not in the capital, and they urgently need one thing to show everyone that the Zhang family can still make a comeback.

In Zhang Yuqian's eager gaze, Mrs. Zhang nodded, gritted her teeth and admonished: "Son, it's not easy for our family to save some money, you must pass the exam and give your mother a long face!" ”

Two days after the polo match, Mrs. Zhang was busy with Zhang Yuqian's affairs, so she had time to come to Zhang Yuqing's yard to find trouble, her face was not good, and she asked her bluntly how she told the old lady, why the old lady didn't mention her relatives, and gave her a waist card to enter and leave the house at will.

Zhang Yuqing said: "Madame wants to know, it is better to ask the old lady directly." I'm from the countryside, clumsy and can't speak clearly. ”

"Don't pretend there!" Mrs. Zhang slapped the table angrily, gritting her teeth hatefully, "You deliberately tricked me, didn't you?" ”

Zhang Yuqing looked up at Mrs. Zhang, and asked without humility or arrogance: "That lady wants to give me to an old man as a concubine, is it deliberately harming me?" ”

"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Zhang was furious, "I'm kind enough to plan for you, you really bite Lu Dongbin and don't know the hearts of good people!" ”

Zhang Yuqing rolled her eyes and said, "Madam, it's because you are not kind first, you lied to me!" If it's really the head lady of the second grade, after all, the identity of the person is here, I can't bear that he is an old man buried in the loess, but you are not kind! Then what kind of second-grade master clearly just wants to take a concubine, and you say that he is marrying a continuation! ”

"It's not all the same! As long as you serve that adult well, what do you want? Mrs. Zhang exclaimed.

Zhang Yuqing tilted her head and looked at her, as if she was smiling, "The old lady said, the concubine is a slave who serves people, and there is a big difference between it and the lady who is the head, if I am a concubine, the old man will die in the future, and his son and grandson will kick me out, I can't get anything, and I have served the old man for so many years!" It's different when the head lady is the boss, the old man is dead, and a bunch of grandchildren kneel down and call me little grandmother! ”

"You!" Mrs. Zhang glared angrily, but she had nothing to say.

Zhang Yuqing spread his hands, sighed and said: "Madam, I originally believed in you very much, and I was willing to hand over my life's affairs to you, you are not kind, doesn't this pit me?" I don't think you'll have to worry about me in the future! ”

"How's that going to work?" Mrs. Zhang squeezed out a smile and said hypocritically, "The old lady doesn't care, I don't have to worry about your business anymore, won't you delay becoming an old girl?" ”

Zhang Yuqing hesitated for a moment and hooked her finger at Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang leaned over and stared at Zhang Yuqing.

"Actually, the marriage you mentioned, if it is to be a lady, I am very happy!" Zhang Yuqing's dark eyes looked at Mrs. Zhang "sincerely", "So if Mrs. says kiss to me again, it will be compared to this condition!" ”

Zhang Yuqing stretched out her fingers, "First, you have to be a lady, second, the man's rank cannot be lower than the second grade, third, age, try to be older, the older the better, if it is less than sixty-five, forget it!" ”

Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhang Yuqing speechlessly, and stopped talking, "This ......"

"There is a saying in our village, it is better to marry an old man than to marry a green egg!" Zhang Yuqing said, "The old man has money and power, and he won't live for a few years, he is dead, isn't the money all mine?" ”

Mrs. Zhang nodded and agreed very much, "It's this reason!" ”

"My conditions have been clarified with my wife, and my wife will find me a husband's house according to this. I'm fed up with living a poor life! If I can succeed, I will be the head lady of the second grade, and I will never forget the great kindness of my wife! In the future, if Madame has any request, whether it is money or doing things, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse! Zhang Yuqing said.

Mrs. Zhang was also very moved, "What a good boy!" ”

A conversation, the guest and the host ended happily.

After Mrs. Zhang went back, she came back to her senses and said worriedly: "Where can I find such an old man for her?" ”

There are only a few second-class members in the court, and not all of them are dead, and the lady of the main house wants to continue the string!

Listen to Zhang Yuqing's conditions, she wants to get married!

Wang Chunniang was very worried, feeling that Zhang Yuqing's words were too full, in case Mrs. Zhang really wanted to find a suitable condition, what should Zhang Yuqing do?

"Did you really get married?" Wang Chunniang said angrily.

Zhang Yuqing nodded vigorously, "Such a good thing, if I hesitate, I am not sensible!" ”

Wang Chunniang couldn't cry or laugh, and clicked on Zhang Yuqing's head.

Zhang Yuqing sighed, "I haven't told my cousin about asking her to take me to Wu County." Before I think of a way to leave the capital, I have to stabilize Mrs. Zhang first, so that I can't annoy her and let her jump over the wall to deal with me! ”

"Last time, it was the old lady who helped you, otherwise, you should beg the old lady more!" Wang Chunniang said.

Zhang Yuqing shook her head, "It's better to ask for others than for yourself, and you can't count on her." She does have feelings for me, but not much. Zhang Yuqing stretched out his hand and gestured a little bit, "That's it." ”

In such a little love between grandparents and grandchildren, the old lady also transferred the anger of losing her beloved son to her.

Can you expect the old lady to love her more?

Two days later, Zhang Yuqing led Wang Chunniang out and went to Luo's house again.

To Zhang Yuqing's surprise, the two met Fang Mo in the alley at the door of Luo's house again, in addition to Fang Mo, there were also Lu Wei and Fang Qin.

The three of them seemed to have just entered the alley and stopped at the door next door to the Luo family, Lu Wei and Fang Qin were standing on the steps of the door, about to knock on the door.

"Why are you again!" Fang Mo glared at Zhang Yuqing, stepped over in three or two steps, stood at the bottom of the steps, stretched out his arms in front of Lu Wei, as if he was afraid that Zhang Yuqing would come over to talk to Lu Wei.

Zhang Yuqing pulled Wang Chunniang past Fang Mo expressionlessly, and didn't give him a look.

Wang Chunniang smiled apologetically at Fang Mo and shouted in a low voice, "Young Master Fang, we are here to visit relatives." ”

I didn't mean to run into you......

"Talk to whom?" Zhang Yuqing asked with a roll of her eyes.

Wang Chunniang smiled softly: "Follow Fang ......"

Zhang Yuqing asked rhetorically: "Is there anyone here?" Anyone? I only saw an old hen guarding her cubs! ”

Fang Mo jumped three feet high, and almost called out "Wang", "Who do you say is the old hen?" ”

Zhang Yuqing snorted, "Well-developed limbs and simple mind!" ”

Fang Qin couldn't hold back, squatting on the ground, burying his head in his arms, his smiling shoulders shrugging.

Lu Wei had a calm face, "Fang Mo, don't be rude!" ”

Fang Mo was aggrieved, he didn't dare to say anything, and stood with his arms crossed with a black face.

Lu Wei looked at Zhang Yuqing and suddenly asked, "Miss Zhang, there is something unclear below, please give me advice." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yuqing was alarmed in her heart, stopped and turned around and asked.

Lu Wei's eyes were sharp, and he asked, "On the day of the Lantern Festival, what is the origin of the poem that the girl inscribed on the lantern?" ”

"Where did it come from?" Zhang Yuqing was confused for a moment, "I saw a poem in a bookstore on the street, and I don't know what it is. If Lu Gongzi wants to know, I will go back to the bookstore and find out the book. ”

Lu Wei stepped forward, "You don't know where it came from, why did you inscribe that poem on the lantern and hang it in a conspicuous place?" ”
