Chapter 37: Zhang Yuqian's End
Lu Wei and his entourage hurried up, and when they arrived at the Mercy Nunnery on the outskirts of Beijing, the sun had just risen a foot high.
The Mercy Nunnery was originally an inconspicuous small nunnery, deserted and dilapidated, more than ten years ago by the Duanshu County Lord took a fancy to the purity of this place, renovated and rebuilt it, as his own place of cultivation and Buddha.
Although it is a nunnery, the carved beams and painted buildings, the furniture and furnishings are of the highest quality, and there are dozens of subordinates to serve, and the Duanshu county lord is no worse than the Lu Mansion.
When Lu Wei arrived, he walked to the door, stopped again, and ordered the others to retreat first, leaving only Fang Mo.
"In order to save your senior brother, you went to ask the eldest girl of the Zhang family?" Lu Wei asked.
Fang Mo's scalp tightened, and he said with a bitter face: "Childe, I, I know that I shouldn't trouble others!" But, but I really had no choice at that time, so I begged my son to punish me! ”
"She didn't help you, so what's there to blame?" Lu Wei said, "It's just that you went to look for her, why didn't you tell me?" ”
Where did Fang Mo dare to hide it anymore, and said: "Childe, it's not that your subordinates deliberately deceive you!" I thought, the eldest girl of the Zhang family is our future mother, she can't help me, I say it to you, isn't it bad to say anything about her! Besides, my senior brother also came out safely, so I didn't squeak......"
"I heard that she didn't want to help, you said a lot of unpleasant things in front of her, Fang Mo, you are very bold!" Lu Wei said coldly.
Fang Mo was struck by lightning, and immediately knelt down, his face turned the color of pig liver, and he said excitedly: "Childe, even if I eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, I don't dare to say anything unpleasant in front of the future housewife!" That day, I knelt down and begged the eldest girl of the Zhang family to help, but she said that my senior brother was a sack carrier, how could she be a famous lady and a sack carry...... Then she got in the car and left, I really didn't say anything! ”
Lu Wei frowned.
Seeing that Lu Wei was silent, Fang Mo said anxiously: "Chapter ...... That who can testify! ”
"Get up." Lu Wei said, "I believe in you." ”
Fang Mo stood up, and the aggrieved eyes of a man with a tiger's back turned red.
When Lu Wei entered the backyard of the nunnery, the lord of Duanshu was wearing a brown linen monk's robe, her long hair was simply tied in a bun, and she was directing the maids to take care of the flowers and plants she planted.
"Mother!" Lu Wei shouted and stepped forward to salute.
Lord Duanshu looked back and smiled, although he was nearly forty years old, his face was still beautiful and square, and he nodded: "Wu'er is here." ”
After the greetings, Lu Wei asked the little maid to bring in the robe sent by Zhang Yuying.
"I have a heart." Lord Duanshu glanced at his robe and said with a smile.
The subordinate immediately took down the robe.
"I think Wu'er seems to have something on his mind." Lord Duanshu said.
Lu Wei hesitated for a moment, and said for a long time: "I only know that I have been married to the eldest girl of the Zhang family since I was a child, but I don't know the reason for this. ”
Lord Duanshu laughed and sighed again, "It happened more than ten years ago, and many changes happened during this period, the Lu Zhang family has been defeated, and they are no longer the glory they once had. Whoever is the eldest girl of the Zhang family, who is your daughter-in-law who has not passed the door. ”
Seeing that Lu Wei was silent, the county lord of Duanshu asked with concern, "But it's unpleasant to have trouble with her?" Did she offend you? ”
"Man, be generous!" Lord Duanshu smiled, "Don't be like your Lao Tzu Lu Dewen!" ”
Lu Wei said: "Zhang Jiayuying is knowledgeable and reasonable, and there is nothing to offend me, but sometimes I feel ......."
just felt that Zhang Yuying's behavior was not as good as she showed, which made him disappointed.
But Lu Wei thought about it, he and Zhang Yuying had not actually had private contact, and Zhang Yuying's character could not be judged by just a few words. If you think that Zhang Yuying's moral character is not good just because of a few words, it is inevitably biased.
The county lord of Duanshu waited for a long time, and when he didn't see Lu Wei's next sentence, he knew that his son, who was silent, was not going to say anything.
Lord Duanshu looked at his son and couldn't help but feel distressed, "Over the years, I have sent you everywhere to learn from teachers, and I have spent less time in the capital, in fact, I just want you to avoid that kid from the Jin family." The last time you won the polo match, he went crazy again, and he scolded you with blood whenever he met people, threatening to beat you to death! ”
"He can't beat me." Lu Wei said honestly.
Lord Duanshu gave him a blank look.
Lu Wei said in a deep voice: "I don't regret it, he insulted you!" It's just going back in time, do it all over again, and I'll do the same! ”
Lord Duanshu patted Lu Wei's shoulder, his eyes were red, and he was very sad.
"I didn't mean to get along with him, he didn't play in the polo match. It was only later that I learned that he spent a lot of money to hire good players from other places, and he also spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy my team to lose. Lu Wei explained.
Not to mention that the good hand didn't play a role, the gambling funds of tens of thousands of taels of silver didn't even hear a sound, and without Lu Wei's knowledge, Liang Zi and Jin Yongkang got bigger and bigger.
The county lord of Duanshu sighed, "The Jin family is the queen's mother's family, and I am just the county lord of the former dynasty, the emperor is just maintaining face with me, keeping my title and Yulu, showing that he is a benevolent monarch!" ”
Although they are all members of the Fang family, they are really just distant relatives who have been separated by many generations. Besides, what kind of family affection can the royal family have!
"Mother." Lu Wei shouted softly.
The corners of Duanshu's eyes were red, "I've wronged you all these years, I can't go back to my home, but it's like wandering outside!" ”
"Mother, this is my home." Lu Wei said seriously, "It's a good thing to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles." ”
has seen too much of the life in the market and the suffering of the people, he will not be like Zhang Yuying, who calmly said that if he has something to do with a sack, he will lose his reputation or something like that.
Two days after Fang Mo took Jing's guilt, a maid came over to inform him, saying that the eldest young master was about to get out of the exam, and everyone had dinner together at noon, which was counted as seeing off the eldest young master.
"Why did you come to pass the word?" Zhang Yuqing asked in surprise.
This maid is in front of Zhang Yuying, not the maid next to Mrs. Zhang, who is the housekeeper.
The maid raised her chin, "What, the girl dislikes me?" ”
Wang Chunniang hurriedly said: "How could it be! ”
"Madame, the housekeeper is busy, it's our eldest girl who remembered that no one was informed here, and told me to come over and tell you, so you must come over." The maid rolled her eyes and said, and muttered in a low voice, "It's really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs!" ”
Zhang Yuqing didn't give her a superfluous look, "I know, you can go." ”
"Then you have to go! Our girl can tell you, you must go! The maid shouted.
Zhang Yuqing didn't pay attention to her anymore.
When the maid left, Wang Chunniang took out clean clothes from the box, changed them for Zhang Yuqing, and took a comb to comb Zhang Yuqing's hair.
"It's also strange, why did you suddenly ask the girl to go to dinner again? Shouldn't I be looking for some old man for the girl again? Wang Chunniang said worriedly.
Since the last time Zhang Yuqing saw the dinner of everyone in the Zhang family, Mrs. Zhang has never asked Zhang Yuqing to eat together, as if she has forgotten this person, only when Zhang Yuqing has use value, such as taking it to the old man with power to warm the bed, she will think of her.
Zhang Yuqing smiled, "Second sister don't worry, Zhang Yuqian will take the test for Xiucai, this matter is much more important than finding an old man for me, Mrs. Zhang will not choose this time if she wants to be a demon, at least not today." ”
Looking at the importance that the Zhang family attaches to Zhang Yuqian, it is simply that the future of the Zhang family is staked on Zhang Yuqian, and the Zhang family has a cautious attitude towards Zhang Yuqian. Zhang Yuqian's examination was his first step into the imperial examination, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the top priority of the Zhang family.
She is just an insignificant little character, and Mrs. Zhang will not have time to calculate her.
Wang Chunniang clasped her hands together and sighed, "I don't know when Lord Luo's reply will arrive." ”
When Zhang Yuqing passed, Zhang Yuying had already sat down with a few small ones.
Mrs. Zhang was busy ordering the arrangements everywhere, and she must require that each place must have a good fortune with the title of the gold list, and when she saw Zhang Yuqing coming, she frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I asked Sister Yuqing to come over." Zhang Yuying stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Zhang's arm, and said coquettishly, "The eldest brother is such an important matter, the whole family should come together to cheer him up!" ”
Mrs. Zhang wanted to scold Zhang Yuqing for a few words, but then she thought about it, although this Zhang Yuqing is very annoying, but she is a daughter of Tanhua, and with a daughter of Tanhua present, maybe Wenquxing's blessing will be able to pour a little bit into Zhang's family......
"Sit down!" Mrs. Zhang said, and couldn't help but habitually scold Zhang Yuqing a few words, "Wait for Yuqian to come over, say a few more auspicious words, don't always be like a stupid dumb wood!" ”
Zhang Yuqing was silent, looking at his nose and nose, and his nose was looking at his heart.
Geely said that a basket of words can't change the fact that Zhang Yuqian's backing is scratching his ears and cheeks, and he is shutting down.
The hope of the Zhang family is pinned on such a narrow-minded and unenterprising person, and she sees that the future of the Zhang family is very difficult! Zhang Yuqian's weight is clear to outsiders. Or is there really no way out, I can only hold on to a trace of unrealistic hope, hoping that Zhang Yuqian can take shit luck and take the Zhang family straight to the clouds?
Mrs. Zhang went to do something else, Zhang Yuying motioned for Zhang Yuqing to sit down, and said with a smile: "Sister Yuqing always doesn't go out, I haven't met Sister Yuqing for a long time." ”
"You have a lot of things to do, and you're busy, so naturally you can't meet me as an idler." Zhang Yuqing said with a smile.
At this moment, the maid came over and said, "Big girl, Madam just ordered, the eldest young master sits at their table, and there will be no place for the eldest young master at your table." ”
Although Zhang Yuying affectionately called Sister Zhang Yuqing, everyone knew that the "big girl" in Zhang Mansion was only referring to Zhang Yuying.
Zhang Yuying smiled and nodded, signaling that she knew, and sighed to Zhang Yuqing: "Brother Qian will be an adult from now on, and he will provoke the Zhang family in the future." ”
"The eldest brother will definitely be able to pass the exam, he studies well, and his teachers and friends are very confident in him!" Zhang Yucheng said loudly, with an oath on his face.
Zhang Yushu also hurriedly said, "Big brother is diligent and motivated, there must be no problem!" ”
Just as Zhang Yuqing was thinking about saying something to make herself appear less abrupt, Zhang Yuying pulled her out and said to her casually: "I heard someone say today that I saw Fang Mo, the little servant of the Lu family, calling you out to speak, is there such a thing?" ”
