Chapter 41: Eating Households
Wang Chunniang was so moved that she almost burst into tears.
She just had a clear conscience and released Zhang Yuqing from the Wang family's cellar, but Zhang Yuqing repaid her so much, no matter how difficult it was, she didn't think about leaving her.
Thinking of the sins made by her biological father Wang Dali, Wang Chunniang's face burned in panic.
"As long as the girl doesn't dislike me, I'll follow the girl!" Wang Chunniang choked up while holding Zhang Yuqing's arm.
He Qi nodded sneeringly, "It's good, it's good, you two can have a ...... to take care of."
"Brother He should bother with the sale of Zhuangzi." Wang Chunniang said.
He Qi said sincerely: "If the girl is not in a hurry to use the money, don't sell it, the price of land in the capital has been rising, and the annual output is a large sum, if the girl can trust me, I will convert the annual output into silver, and ask my junior disciples to send the girl to Wu County!" ”
Zhang Yuqing didn't know that it was the most cost-effective to keep the grange in her hands, but she wanted to go to Qingzhou to find Sheng Guixin.
When she found Sheng Guixin, she confirmed her identity as an "anti-thief", and the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing didn't think about it, it was better to sell it now.
"I've decided to sell." Zhang Yuqing smiled.
He Qi stopped persuading, "Don't worry, girl, this matter is easy to do!" I'm going to look for my juniors now, they have been darts for many years, and they know a lot of big bosses in the capital, and there must be someone who is willing to pay a good price! ”
Zhang Yuqing left with peace of mind.
After selling Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, she hired a dart team and took her to Qingzhou.
Out of He Qi's house, Zhang Yuqing looked at the children laughing and playing in the alley, with a happy and happy face.
She grew up with Sheng Guixin's childhood sweetheart, and she also played and frolicked like this. However, now thousands of miles away, Sheng Guixin even thought that she was dead, and the once simple and enthusiastic teenager fell into the grass and became a "human demon" who could cure children's night crying, so that every time she thought about it, she couldn't help herself with heartache and worry.
Sheng Guixin is also from a famous family, his ancestors are loyal and good, he is more worthy of a rich and smooth life than Lu Wei and Tang Yongkang, who were born with a golden spoon, but he has been displaced since he was a child, and his relatives have been lost.
Fate took away too much of them, until they had nothing, were crushed into the dust, humble as ants, but did not let them go, to erase their last bit of nostalgia in this world.
How unjust is this world!
Zhang Yuqing exhaled a sigh of trembling, and became more and more determined to go to Qingzhou no matter what.
Fang Mo has been on an errand at the Lu family for the past few days, and when he took a spare time to go back to visit his master, he heard that the brothers and sisters of the dart bureau were talking about buying and selling Zhuangzi, and they were mixed with the words "senior brother", and they were in full swing and indignant.
He approached curiously, but when the brothers saw that it was him, they suddenly turned into a gourd with a saw-mouthed mouth, scattering as birds and beasts.
"Hey, what do you mean?" Fang Mo was dumbfounded, thinking that he hadn't done anything in the past few days.
Before leaving, Fang Mo hugged the shoulders of a senior brother and insisted that someone send him off.
When he arrived outside the door of the dart board, he stalked about buying and selling Zhuangzi.
Senior Brother couldn't stand his soft grinding and hard bubbles, and said: "It's the girl of the Zhang family who helped us last time who wants to sell her deceased wife's dowry Zhuangzi, please ask Senior Brother He to help, and our brothers are all helping to find buyers!" ”
"Then why are you hiding it from me? Don't you treat me like an outsider? Fang Mo was puzzled.
Senior Brother gave him a blank look, "That Zhuangzi has been in the hands of Mrs. Zhang for more than ten years, and she has been benefiting for so many years, can she be happy?" I don't even want to pay it back! Mrs. Zhang's daughter will be your mother-in-law in the future, what good will it do you if you get involved? Senior brother and that girl from the Zhang family aren't thinking about you? ”
Fang Mo was moved and angry when he heard this, "If it is really the marriage left by Miss Yuqing's mother, what reason does Mrs. Zhang have to stop it?" He muttered in a low voice: "What kind of girl has what kind of mother, mother and daughter are not good things!" ”
"It's not a good thing!" The senior brother said bluntly, "Our brothers have been looking for several buyers in the past few days, and when we went to Zhuangzi to look, they were all stopped by the people sent by Mrs. Zhang's family, and threatened that whoever dared to buy this Zhuangzi would be punished!" There is a man named Guo Tong, I heard that it is Mrs. Zhang's cousin, clamoring that the son of the lord of Duanshu is the son-in-law of their Zhang family, and this Zhuangzi can only be sold to him, and an orphan girl with a dead father and mother dares to fight with them? ”
"I'm going to be shameless!" Fang Mo was furious and punched the willow tree next to him, "The Zhang family is such a scholarly family, and they actually started to eat the family!" ”
Senior Brother patted Fang Mo on the shoulder, "So Senior Brother specially told me not to tell you, you don't know it's useless, it will make you embarrassed in the middle." ”
Fang Mo walked on the way back to Lu Mansion, still angry, remembering that his son-in-law was from a noble background, and although he had not had much time to serve his son, Lu Wei never flaunted his noble status, and he had never done anything to bully men and women. Lu Wei looks cold and unapproachable on the outside, but he is generous to his subordinates, and he often helps the people when he travels abroad.
In the past, he didn't know anything, and he just entered the Lu family from the bottom of the people, and he only felt that Zhang Yuying was a well-known fourth lady in the capital, a famous talented girl, and such a high-ranking fairy-like character was worthy of his own son. Now that I think about it, what else does that Zhang Yuying have besides having a reputation for bluffing?
Even the inheritance of an orphan daughter whose parents died has to be eaten cleanly, and she eats the household under the banner of their son-in-law, which makes people shudder when they think about it.
After returning to the Lu Mansion, Fang Mo's hands were clenched tightly, thinking of Zhang Yuqing, such a poor girl, but she bothered to help him, but now she just wants to return to her deceased mother's marriage, it is difficult to go to the sky, and I don't know what kind of life I live in the Zhang family on weekdays.
Fang Mo remembered the original misunderstanding of Zhang Yuqing and all the stupid things he had done, and couldn't help but slap himself in the face.
A crisp slap broke the silence in the room.
Lu Wei stopped his pen and raised his eyes to look at Fang Mo who was standing beside him.
Fang Qin's face collapsed, and he said: What are you crazy about!
Fang Mo's face was blue and white, and his heart had been fighting for a long time, and finally his heart was crossed, and he knelt down, "Childe, I have something to say!" ”
Lu Wei was concise and to the point, "Say." ”
Fang Mo said that Mrs. Zhang was the son of the lord of Duanshu County to prevent others from buying Zhang Yuqing's Zhuangzi, and in the end, he was afraid that Lu Wei would not uphold justice because he hated Zhang Yuqing, so he said cautiously: "I, I'm not complaining about that person, I'm just thinking, the son is innocent, how can he bear such an ugly name!" ”
Lu Wei was depressed for a while, threw down the pen, walked to the window, and took a few deep breaths.
recalled that when I met Zhang Yuying several times over the years, Mrs. Zhang was present. The mother and daughter are gentle and virtuous, and the other is elegant and noble.
It's really hard to associate it with the act of eating out of the house.
And in his name......
"Prepare the horses, let's go there and have a look." Lu Wei commanded.
Fang Mo got up from the ground excitedly and hurriedly ran to lead the horse.
The location of Zhuangzi was inquired by Fang Mo and the senior brothers, and the three of them quickly whipped their horses and ran to the place in less than an hour.
When I was going, I was just in time for a few idle people to move a sawn down tree and block the way into the village.
"Who are you and why are you blocking the road?" Lu Wei asked coldly.
The leader looked Lu Wei up and down, and saw that Lu Wei was dressed as either rich or expensive, so he expected that Lu Wei was a buyer who came to see Zhuangzi, and asked, "Tell me first, what are you doing on this road?" Do you want to buy Zhuangzi, or do you just use this Tao to go somewhere else? ”
"What's the difference?" Lu Wei rode on his horse and asked condescendingly.
Splashy smiled nonchalantly, "The difference is big!" If you want to buy Zhuangzi, go back and forth as soon as possible! ”
"You are the master of this Zhuangzi?" Lu Wei asked.
Splashy smiled, showing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, proud, "Not yet, soon it will be!" ”
"Since you are not the owner of this Zhuangzi, why do you prevent others from buying Zhuangzi?" Lu Wei got off the horse, walked to him, and asked in a deep voice.
Splashy snorted coldly, looked at Lu Wei with disdain, and pointed with his fingers, "Boy!" Speak to me politely! My sister's son-in-law is the son of the lord of Duanshu! Lord Duanshu is my sister's mother-in-law! The county lord's son must call me uncle! This Zhuangzi said I want to buy it, do you dare to do it against me? ”
Fang Mo couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped away Guo Tong's fingers that were nodding in front of Lu Wei, "Presumptuous!" ”
Guo Tong took two steps and was furious, "Boy, you are so bold, come here, clean them up for me!" ”
A few ruffians were about to rush up with wooden sticks, and when they saw Fang Mo Fangqin take out a shiny one-man high saber from the duffel bag under the saddle, open the bow left and right in front of Lu Wei, and couldn't stop his steps in shock, and fell into a ball like an arhat.
"What are you afraid of!" Guo Tong jumped to his feet and said, "The sons of the county lord have to call my uncle, they don't dare to do it!" ”
Lu Wei walked out, walked up to the "uncle" with an expressionless face, and kicked the "uncle" out. But with a slight kick, the ruffian flew out a few meters away, fell to the ground and fell to the ground and gnawed on.
"You, you! Hello big bold! Guo Tong opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and screamed angrily, "You wait, I'll call someone from the government to come and arrest you in prison!" ”
Lu Wei said coldly: "You just have to go, I'll wait here!" ”
After a few ruffians ran away, Lu Wei and the others entered Zhuangzi and called Zhuangtou and a few elderly people to come over and inquire about the situation. As soon as I asked, it became clear that this Zhuangzi was not only the private property of Zhang Zuoming's wife An's dowry, but also the money that the Zhang family returned to Beijing after escaping the war and rebuilt the mansion, a large part of which was also the gold and silver of An's dowry.
Guo Tong was deflated by Lu Wei, and with a bloody face, he hurriedly ran to Zhang's house to complain to Mrs. Zhang.
Before meeting Mrs. Zhang, Guo Tong met Zhang Yuying.
The Xiucai exam list is about to be released, Mrs. Zhang has been anxious and worried these days, she doesn't think about tea and dinner, Zhang Yuying feels sorry for her mother's hard work, and when she heard Guo Tong's words, her willow eyebrows rose, "You don't have to worry about your mother in this matter!" You go to report to the official first, take the official messenger over, and I'll be there later!" I'd like to see who is so bold! ”
