Chapter 69: Confession
"Why isn't anyone in the room?" In the Yufu Palace, Lord Fulin was scolding a little palace maid.
This palace maid is the little palace maid who took Zhang Yanyu to change clothes that day.
At this moment, the little palace maid knelt on the main hall tremblingly and said cowardly: "The slave maid doesn't know what's going on, the slave maid personally brought the young lady to the house, and then locked the door before coming back, but I don't know why the person is gone." ”
Fu Lin snorted coldly, and the people he arranged in the dark only waited for Yu Meiren to find out that there was a private meeting in the house, and he would rush out and shout, ready to attract more people, and then even Zhang Yanyu couldn't say it clearly.
Who knew that the person who was hiding in the dark just now returned, and after Yu Meiren opened the door, only the boy was sitting there, and the screen inside was inlaid with a thin veil, which couldn't hide people at all, but there was no one else in the house!
As soon as she thought of Zhang Yanyu Fulin, she was angry, and with her little daughter of Shangshu, she actually wanted to attract the attention of the emperor and the queen, and accepted the jade pendant rewarded by the emperor.
Back then, the emperor took a fancy to the Tang family, and he also rewarded her with a jade pendant, and later the Tang family successfully married the prince, and now he is rewarded with Zhang Yanyu, the will of heaven is unpredictable, who knows if the emperor wants to marry Zhang Yanyu to Xinrong's cousin.
My cousin can only marry me!
Fu Lin's face was slightly distorted. Vainly trying to think about his cousin!
It's really a pity to die for such a woman who wants to climb to the rich, and she also picked a good marriage for her and found a pretty man.
After listening to the words of the little palace maid, I also felt strange, could a big living person disappear out of thin air.
I feel sorry in my heart, let Zhang Yanyu escape this catastrophe, I am afraid there will not be such a good opportunity in the future.
Fu Lin thought about it for a long time and had no clue, so he had to go to the queen mother to find out the news in the next few days.
When Zhang Yanyu woke up on the second day, Chu Cui saw that her eyes were red and swollen, so she hurriedly brought hot water to wet the towel and put it on.
Zhang Yanyu sat on the dresser and looked in the mirror and said, "Put on some more gouache to cover it." ”
Chu Cui felt in her heart that her young lady had lost her former liveliness, and she seemed to be depressed early in the morning, and she didn't dare to ask, so she only nodded her head and said yes.
After cleaning up, Zhang Yanyu went to her parents' courtyard to say goodbye.
Yu Shi looked at it and asked, "What's the matter? I didn't rest well last night, why are my eyes a little red and swollen?"
Zhang Yanyu opened her mouth, wanting to tell her mother everything about yesterday, but how could she say such a shameful thing, and even if her mother knew, what could she do, could she still come to the door to ask for an explanation?
In case the Tong family doesn't admit it, even if they admit it, they reluctantly marry themselves back, and if they are reluctant, they will not become a pair of resentful couples.
The more I thought about it, the more desolate I became, so I had to bury this matter secretly in my heart.
sighed softly and said with a light smile: "Maybe I was too full at the flower banquet yesterday, and I couldn't sleep last night." ”
Hearing this, Yu Shi smiled and said: "You are so greedy, I don't dare to let you out next time, the province will have the reputation of a glutton, and it will be troublesome if you can't marry in the future......"
Zhang Yanyu shouted disobediently: "Mother, then you are the one who talked about your daughter." ”
Yu Shi smiled and said: "Yesterday, you sent Chu Cui to say that you were very tired, and my mother thought that you should rest early, and she didn't go to ask you about the scene at the flower banquet. ”
"Your eldest brother came back in the evening and ran into my room and shouted that his sister had won the first prize, and tell my mother about the situation. ”
Zhang Yanyu said what happened at the palace banquet, and Yu sighed when she heard it: "I didn't expect Miss Xiahou to be so smart, this title should be hers." ”
Zhang Yanyu also sighed and said: "Sister Shuang only thought of a way because she didn't want to be in the limelight, but she didn't use it, and her daughter was also curious about whether the method she said worked so she decided to give it a try, but I didn't expect it to really become the first prize." ”
"I'll prepare a small profit for the next two days, let's go to the door to thank you. ”
Zhang Yanyu nodded yes.
Tong Yingzhao tossed and turned last night, woke up early in the morning and decided to inform his parents about the matter, and wanted to invite his parents to go to Zhang's house to propose, if Miss Zhang agreed, she could get engaged first, and wait for her to get married as soon as the ceremony was over.
After making up his mind, he got up and went to the study to look for his father.
Mrs. Tong has the habit of getting up early to read in the study, and is flipping through a classic, when she hears the attendant say: "Master, the eldest young master is here." ”
"Come in. Mrs. Tong commanded without raising her head.
After Tong Ying was summoned into the house, he hesitated at his father for a while, and Mrs. Tong looked up at him and asked, "Is there something?"
After waiting for a while, there was still no sound, put the book in his hand on the table, got up and raised his voice and asked, "You came to me for something?"
Tong Yingzhao didn't think about how to speak, and when he saw his father get up, he had to say, "Father, the child has something to ask for." ”
"You say something. Mrs. Zhang said with a step.
The child wanted to beg his father to go to Zhang's mansion to propose marriage. The words began, and the rest was much smoother.
"What did you say, propose, the Zhang family?" asked Mrs. Tong when she stopped in surprise.
"It's Zhang Shangshu's family, I want to marry his young lady. ”
"Why did you suddenly think that you were going to get married? On weekdays, your mother mentioned this matter, and you didn't strongly oppose it, saying that your studies are important, what is going on today?" Mrs. Tong felt that things were a little strange, and asked carefully.
When Tong Yingzhao heard this, his white face flushed slightly, and he had to tell his father in detail what happened yesterday.
After listening to the contemplation, Mrs. Tong asked, "In this way, someone is planning to harm one of you, Zhao'er, have you offended anyone recently?"
Tong Yingzhao shook his head: "Yesterday, the child has thought about it carefully, and he didn't offend anyone. ”
"If it's not you, it's Miss Zhang. ”
"Could it be because she won the first prize yesterday, and someone holds a grudge so she came up with this vicious plan to ruin Miss Zhang. Tong Yingzhao said hesitantly.
"It's possible, but no matter who is behind the trouble, I just want to ask you, is it true that you just said that you want to marry Miss Zhang?" asked Mrs. Tong with a serious face.
Tong Yingzhao nodded seriously and said, "This matter has been thought about by the child, and the child is willing to marry Miss Zhang." ”
"Okay, a manly husband should do something in the world, you can take on such a responsibility, you are worthy of being a descendant of my Tong family. Mrs. Tong nodded in praise.
"Don't worry, since you have thought clearly, I will ask your mother to come and discuss together, and go to Zhang's Mansion to meet Zhang Shangshu as soon as possible. ”
Tong Ying summoned his father to agree, and his heart jumped with joy, and Annai held the joy in his heart, and said gently: "Thank you father for making it happen." ”
