Chapter 78

After Zhang Yan sat down, Old Madam Xiao asked kindly, "Does he have anything to say?"

When Mrs. Xiao talked about Xiao Po, her tone was extremely peaceful, and she didn't seem to regard Xiao Po as her husband at all, and only described it as "him", and her tone was terrifyingly unfamiliar. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Zhang Jian was secretly displeased, but he didn't want to tell the truth, so he replied against his will: "Marshal Xiao didn't make any requests like Zhang, but said that if there is nowhere to go below, he will stay in the Xiao Mansion to protect the safety of Old Madam and Miss Xiao." ”

Zhang Yan obviously saw that Old Madam Xiao's expression was relaxed, and after a moment of silence, she nodded slowly: "He finally remembered us! Well, the last time I saw his family letter, he did mention that General Zhang is a person who can be absolutely trusted." ”

Zhang Remnant felt a little funny when he heard this, this should be a lie in exchange for a lie. Old Madam Xiao may believe her words, but she definitely doesn't believe a word of Old Madam Xiao's words.

It was Mrs. Xiao who kicked Xiao Po out of the house, so with Xiao Po's personality, she would not write a letter to Mrs. Xiao when she died.

Old Madam Xiao's face was slightly tired, and she seemed to really believe Zhang Yan's words, and said kindly: "Between husband and wife, they should support each other and get along with each other. But between me and him, I had no choice but to come to this point. After parting thirty years ago, we didn't see each other again. In this meeting, he is still as young as the proud figure he left me before parting, but he is forever separated from heaven and man. ”

Zhang Yan was silent, and knew that this was Mrs. Xiao's self-emotion, so it was really inappropriate for him to speak.

Old Madam Xiao smiled and said, "Look at the current Xiao Mansion, there is an endless stream of people visiting, and there is a lot of traffic in front of the door. He did, and he was no longer an idle, idle mediocrity. He became a successful person who everyone admired, as I have always asked him to be. Of course, this also means that the battle between me and him is that I won. However, at this moment, I no longer have the slightest joy of victory, but am always haunted by a faint sense of frustration. ”

Zhang Yanshi didn't know how to answer, so he had to say: "Old woman's day mourning." ”

Old Madam Xiao stood up and said kindly, "Can General Zhang accompany the old man for a walk?"

Zhang Yan naturally pretended to nod happily.

In the back garden of Xiao Mansion, many flowers have successfully survived the severe cold, spitting out new sprouts, and they are thriving. In another month or two, the new shoots will bloom with the warm spring light, and the colorful flowers will compete with each other.

Old Madam Xiao is in very good health, and she doesn't look staggering at all when she walks, only occasionally holding on to the fence to relieve her physical fatigue. She glanced at Zhang Yan and said, "Everyone is Dao Xiao breaks the sky, and marrying him is also a blessing that the old man has cultivated in his life." Every time I hear this kind of words, the old body is like turning over a five-flavor bottle, and the taste is really not enough for outsiders. ”

"He may be a once-in-a-lifetime hero, but he is by no means a good husband or father. He ignored me, and Nian'er and his wife were killed by illness, and he was still indifferent. Take Yu'er as an example, he, who is a grandfather, has he ever seen half an eye for his granddaughter?"

In Zhang Remnant's heart, no one was allowed to say half a bad word about Xiao Po, so although he didn't comment on it, he didn't think so in his heart.

Which man is not proud? If Zhang Chuan is Xiao Po, it will be the same. Since you looked down on me at the beginning, why should I look at you squarely when I succeed? Even if it is difficult to make a difference in this life, then I will still stay away from your sight, and I will not be cheap enough to appear in front of you, and continue to let you look at people with your nose.

Old Madam Xiao looked at Zhang Yan's indifferent expression, and smiled again: "Actually, the old body doesn't regret it, after all, I finally got what I wanted." It's true that the old body used to be harsh, but if he hadn't, he wouldn't have achieved this, would he?"

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "What the old lady said is extremely true. ”

Old Madam Xiao carefully looked at Zhang Yan, and suddenly said happily: "Why doesn't General Zhang happily say what he thinks in his heart? The old man is old, and although he talks about his mother-in-law, he has not yet reached the point of being confused to the point of being unreasonable. ”

Zhang Yan also smiled, and finally said heartily: "Between the old woman and Marshal Xiao, when they were newly married, there was no affection. Moreover, Marshal Xiao entered the family, and he was ashamed of himself, but he was repeatedly harassed by the old lady. Even if the mud bodhisattva still has three points of earthy nature, let alone a young man with strong blood? If the old lady does not have the slightest nostalgia for Marshal Xiao, why does Marshal Xiao have any concern for the old lady?"

Old Madam Xiao was not angry at all, but said with a smile: "So, it is also wrong for the old body to urge him to strive for self-improvement?"

Zhang Yan said as a matter of course: "Human growth requires a process, isn't it? Men have too many shoulders, so it is easier to be confused, and it is not surprising that they fall into inaction before awakening." If the old lady not only does not encourage it at this time, but blindly spurs it, it will only backfire and go in the opposite direction. ”

Old Madam Xiao smiled: "As General Zhang said, I have no feelings for him, so I can only humbly exchange my youthful and beautiful face and young and hot body for his pampering of me in my best time." When the old body is no longer in his prime, and his beauty is as beautiful as yesterday's yellow flower, what else can he rely on to make him obey his words. What if he never made it to the Lobby? At that time, the green onion was the only weapon I could rely on, and when I lost it, the old body was useless. Therefore, to this day, even if he hurts others and hurts himself, the old body never regrets it. Therefore, General Zhang only saw the harshness of his old body one-sidedly, but he could not see the pathetic pitiness of his daughter's family. ”

Zhang Yan turned to a smile and said, "Men and women are different, Zhang really can't understand the difficulties of the old lady. However, Zhang could only answer the old lady's question from the perspective of a man. In fact, even if there is no emotion, but since it is his wife, how can a man not take care of him? But the strange thing is that I can give everything, even if I give my life, but I will never tolerate your unscrupulous taking. It is human nature for the old lady to want Marshal Xiao to get ahead. However, the means are too quick to achieve quick results, and the methods are too drunk to quench thirst. ”

Old Madam Xiao thought for a while, nodded frankly and said, "This is indeed strange, the old man has never thought of this before. ”

Zhang Remnant is considered to have won back a city for Xiao Po, and he felt a little relaxed in his heart. Old Madam Xiao looked Zhang Yan up and down, and quickly said, "Okay, the deceased is the greatest, don't talk about him." By the way, how old is General Zhang this year?"

Zhang Yan didn't know what Mrs. Xiao meant, and replied honestly: "It's twenty and two this year. ”

Old Madam Xiao smiled and said, "General Zhang has never been married, right?"

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, and guessed what Old Madam Xiao meant. But it was useless to tell such a lie, so he nodded again.

Old Madam Xiao said happily: "It just so happens that Wan'er has also reached the age of marriage. General Zhang should have seen this girl before, the ghost is a little weird, and other than that, he can't find the slightest fault. Since he left, Xiao Mansion has been lifeless, and perhaps there should be some good news to dispel this melancholy. We should not let yesterday's pain be wasted on today's tears. I wonder what General Zhang thinks?"

Zhang Yan smiled bitterly, but Qin Xingya's face could not be suppressed in his heart. Where is she at the moment, still walking the rivers and lakes hand in hand with Qu Fan? When she is tormented by her thoughts, will she snuggle up in Qu Fan's arms and listen to Qu Fan's affectionate words with laughter?

Slowly, Qin Xingya's figure dispersed. Yue Ling's gentle face, which turned up at the corners of her mouth in nature, unexpectedly stopped her heart.

However, in this life, Yue Ling has no one who can make her move except for the heavens.

There are worries in my heart, how can I marry a wife? Thinking of this, Zhang Zan's natural refusal categorically, but when the words came to his mouth, Zhang Zan's words were blank: "Everything is under the orders of the old lady." ”

This may be the first time Zhang Can's reluctant compromise. Zhang Yan knew that after saying this, this was not only a powerless resistance to fate, but also a loss of fighting spirit for himself.

Looking at the old lady and Lao Huai, Zhang Yan was full of sourness.
