Zhang Yuqing sneered, "I'm really ashamed of what I said, Sister Yuying is right, raising kindness is greater than the sky, and my adoptive father is as kind to me as a mountain." But I don't have anything long, only two changes of clothes, or Sister Yuying, you don't want it, I really can't repay the favor! But if I have a worthless silver hairpin, I am willing to give it to them! Besides, Madame also said that Zhangfu is now a tense time, and I am not even allowed to eat, so as to save some money. I can't take care of myself, how can I be filial to my adoptive father? ”

"What to pretend!" Zhang Yuying was furious, "You just got the Zhang family's Zhuangzi, which is worth a lot of money, and you still dare to cry poor if you fatten your pocket!" ”

Zhang Yuqing smiled slightly, "I was angry at my wife for not giving me food, but today I found out that Brother Yuqian was deceived of such a huge sum of three thousand taels of silver, no wonder the Zhang family can't even afford to eat." It was my mistake that I failed to understand Madame's difficulties! ”

At this moment, Mrs. Zhang, who learned that the situation was not good, hurried over and saluted the old lady first, "Mother! ”

The old lady lifted her crutches and pointed to the two girls in front of her.

One was dressed in old clothes, with only a ribbon on his bare head, and no jewelry on his body, without powder, while the other was crying with a flowery face, delicately dressed, and with a luxurious head.

"Your housekeeper is so good!" The old lady said lightly, "My daughter wears gold and silver, and she is glamorous." This side ...... I see that the maids in your yard are more like the girls of Zhangfu than her! ”

Mrs. Zhang's face was ugly, she glared at Zhang Yuqing, and confronted the old lady hard, "The family is in difficulty, and the old lady doesn't know it!" The income is already small, and the old lady also knows that a large piece was robbed by outsiders! Besides, it's not easy to manage up and down in this house, the master is in charge of the little maid and the maid, and the mother-in-law adds up to hundreds of people, eating, wearing, living and traveling, what can't I worry about? If you can't take care of one, some people will be unhappy and talk about my rights and wrongs everywhere! ”

"Mother!" Zhang Yuying cried and threw herself into Mrs. Zhang's arms, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Mrs. Zhang hugged her sad and howling daughter, her face became even more ugly, and her eyes were about to burst into flames when she looked at Zhang Yuqing and the old lady, "I have children for the Zhang family, take care of the family business, and have hard work without merit!" Pity me for doing it so far, and I'm still being bullied by you! Even with the kids who bullied me! ”

"Presumptuous!" Zhang Zuozhen returned home from outside, and when she entered the door, she saw Mrs. Zhang yelling at her own mother like a fighting, and she was immediately furious.

Mrs. Zhang stopped her mouth and rolled her eyes and turned her head away.

"Guo, you are disobedient and unfilial, and you confront your mother-in-law in public, you are so bold!" Zhang Zuozhen jumped like thunder.

Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and sneered, not to be outdone, "So what? Which of my words was not telling the truth? Mother turned her elbow outward, regardless of the life or death of her own grandchildren, in favor of an unidentified wild species! is to go out to find someone to judge, and no one will say anything if the younger generation disrespects her! ”

"What wild species? Why are you talking so ugly! Zhang Zuozhen shouted.

Mrs. Zhang snorted, "I'm telling the truth, and the truth is ugly!" If you have the ability, you will leave me! ”

"You!" Zhang Zuozhen was angry, if he divorced Mrs. Zhang, the three sons and two daughters of the family would not go out to meet people, "Zhuangzi is what Lu Wei's kid has to give her, what are you doing when you are angry with your mother!" ”

If it was just the old lady who opened her mouth and told Guo to return Zhuangzi to Zhang Yuqing, Guo would be willing to return it obediently!

The old lady just gave an order that day, even if she had done her best, she could say it in her conscience, but in fact, she didn't expect Mrs. Zhang to really return Zhuangzi to Zhang Yuqing, but she didn't expect that there was such an inside story here, so she immediately opened a pair of cloudy old eyes and looked at Zhang Yuqing in disbelief.

Zhang Yuying cried: "It's just that she seduced Lu Gongzi, and she still doesn't admit it!" ”

"I really don't understand." Zhang Yuqing shook her head and looked at Zhang Yuying coldly, "Lu Wei is your fiancé, you don't defend him in front of people, and you have to pour dirty water on him later, what do you think Lu Wei does?" ”

In good conscience, Zhang Yuqing doesn't like Lu Wei, she thinks Lu Wei is simply unreasonable, she likes a vain and greedy woman like Zhang Yuying, and she has been waiting for Zhang Yuying for many years.

Broken pot with rotten lid, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, what does it matter to her?

But seeing Zhang Yuying's ridiculous behavior, she couldn't help but be angry.

"That's it!" Zhang Zuozhen waved his hand impatiently, "You go back to your place!" ”

Zhang Yuqing turned around and left.

"Mother, go back and rest!" Zhang Zuozhen said.

The old lady let out a heavy breath, glanced at Mrs. Zhang's mother and daughter who were hugging each other, and helped Aunt Yu to leave. When she walked to the arch of the hanging flowers, the old lady saw Zhang Yuqing waiting there.

"Thank you for your mercy today!" Zhang Yuqing saluted.

The old lady's eyes were cold, "What Yu Ying said, but is it true?" ”

"False, there is no such thing." Zhang Yuqing didn't expect the old lady to ask like this, and the suppressed anger rushed up again, and immediately raised her hand and swore an oath, "If I have the slightest ill intentions towards Lu Wei, I won't be able to die if I thunder and thunder in the sky!" ”

The old lady's face was cold, "It's better to be like this!" ”

"Thank you for the old lady's help today." Zhang Yuqing said.

"No, you can see it, I don't have to speak." The old lady sighed, and finally looked at the face similar to the eldest son who died young, "Today is the last time I will help you, and in the future, I will not have you as a granddaughter, and I will not owe each other." Whether it's good or bad, rely on your own creation! ”

The old lady walked past her with a blank face, without looking at her again.

Zhang Yuqing watched silently, and the courtyard door closed mercilessly in front of her.

After returning to her residence, Wang Chunniang asked worriedly, "What are they calling you to do?" What's the matter with the nobles? Listening to the uproar outside, I'm very scared! ”

Zhang Yuqing told Wang Chunniang about today's events.

When it came to throwing copper plates to bright copper plates, Lu Wei finally won, and Wang Chunniang said happily: "Lu Gongzi is really powerful, not only is he both civil and military, but even his luck is first-class!" ”

"It's not about luck." Zhang Yuqing shook his head, "Jin Yongkang won't win." ”

Wang Chunniang asked in surprise, "Why?" ”

"This game, it seems fair, but in fact it is not fair at all, the key point is to light the copper plate, not to throw the copper plate, the front and back of the copper plate are uncontrollable, but the bright copper plate is controllable." Zhang Yuqing said, "In this gambling game, as long as Jin Yongkang wants to win, he will never be able to win." ”

Wang Chunniang frowned, thought for a long time, and suddenly smashed her fist into her palm, "I understand!" Jin Gongzi wanted to win big at the beginning, and if he won three taels of silver at a time, he would have a positive Taichang Tongbao, but Lu Gongzi must have guessed what he was doing, so he played the negative! In this way, Jin Gongzi lost in a hurry, and it would be good to think of a silver or two on the opposite side, so that even if he can win a few games, it is far less than he loses! ”

Zhang Yuqing smiled, her eyes flashing with an unpredictable light, "Those who want Taichang will never win." ”

Wang Chunniang felt weird, Taichang was the emperor's year name, Zhang Yuqing said this outside, I was afraid that I would be arrested and put in prison as a big rebel.

"The girl is trying to repay Mr. Lu?" Wang Chunniang asked.

Zhang Yuqing said: "If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have come back to this Zhuangzi!" It was I who underestimated the expenses of the Zhang family and the importance of this Zhuangzi to them. ”

She never expected that Zhang Yuqian would casually sell it for three thousand taels of silver, and the luxury was so extravagant, it was shocking. Relying on Zhang Zuozhen's income as a seventh-rank official in the Qingshui Yamen, how could he maintain the life of the Zhang family! So Mrs. Zhang would rather kill her than protect the property in her hand!

She just wanted to return her mother's dowry, but she offended them so far.

It's just that she doesn't regret it.

"Good thing we didn't stay here for long! With Lu Gongzi's promise in front, they don't dare to attack the girl again! Wang Chunniang said in a low voice.

Zhang Yuqing took a deep breath, the closer she got to the day when Chao Siwan wanted to leave the capital, the more uneasy she became, "I hope so." ”

Mrs. Zhang went back with Zhang Yuying in her arms, ignoring the angry Zhang Zuozhen. Zhang Yuying was crying all the way, crying that Lu Wei didn't have a good face for herself, and she offended Jin Yongkang by crying today.

"When I don't know what she's thinking? She saw that the Luo family had been delayed in proposing marriage, and she panicked, and she started the idea of Lu Gongzi! Zhang Yuying cried very aggrieved, "The Luo family must have regretted it!" Otherwise, why wouldn't you come to propose? Who wants to marry a broom star! ”

Mrs. Zhang slapped the table angrily, "Lu Wei looks like a decent man and a gentleman, all pretended!" It's clear that she has a dirty relationship with that little cheap hoof, otherwise for no reason, what Zhuangzi do you want for her? It is simply hateful to threaten us to withdraw from our relatives! When my daughter can't get married, does he have to do it? ”

Zhang Yuying was choked for a moment, and then thought that she really had to be Lu Wei, and she couldn't find a better husband than Lu Wei, so she was even more aggrieved.

"If she wants to follow the past and be small, I don't want to be unacceptable, but, but they are stepping on my face to the ground! Will I still have a way to live if I get married? Zhang Yuying cried.

Mrs. Zhang glared at Zhang Yuying, "Even if you give Lu Wei a small name, you also have to accept an honest and obedient person, that little cheap hoof is not a person at first glance, and Lu Wei dares to treat you like this!" Now that we are under the control of Lu Wei, we let her escape with her life! If I had left her when I was young, I would have found a way to clean her up! ”

Zhang Yuqian chased his "friend" outside for a long time, but he didn't catch up, and when he came back, he was bored, and heard his mother and sister hugging and crying, it turned out that the wild girl in the countryside was so bold that she shamelessly seduced his brother-in-law Lu Wei!

"You wait, I'll go clean up that broom star!" Zhang Yuqian was like a powder keg that had been ignited, rolled up his sleeves and turned around and rushed out of the door.

Mrs. Zhang didn't see that he was just talking, so she quickly got up and chased after him.
