Chapter 76 The real daughter, she quit (22)

Unexpectedly, the day after Haiyao finished saying that sentence, Mrs. Song walked into the door of Qingsongyuan with a low eyebrow and a pleasant look.

It turned out that during Zhao's illness, Wu Jinzhen sneaked out of the mansion more than once to meet with Zhou Zhoulang, but by coincidence, she was bumped into by some noble girls and young masters in Beijing.

The foot of the Son of Heaven and the surrounding area of ​​the imperial city have always been the most peaceful place, and there are very few interesting conversations on weekdays. This collision can be said to be quite serious.

If there is no answer in a short time, not only Wu Jinzhen, but their whole family will be stabbed in the back when they go out!Including Wu Zitian, the son whom the Song family and Wu Xiucai cared about the most, might be implicated in the academy. The reputation of the student is not unimportant. If it affects his autumn next year, it will be called the loss outweighs the gain.

In order to preserve the wealth and glory of this pair of children, Song could only grit her teeth and come to beg Zhao. She said a lot of good things, as if she had lived so long in her life, she had never been so humble in front of others.

Resisting to stay in Qingsongyuan until late at night, she dragged her exhausted body back to Luyuan.

For the next two days, the faces of every servant in Wu's mansion were beaming with joy. It turned out that the head wife who had been ill for a long time was finally healed. The monthly payment is [-]% more.

And the first thing Mrs. Zhao did after recovering from a serious illness was to show her filial piety and go to Fuyuan to pay her respects to her mother-in-law. Mrs. Song would not let this opportunity go, and she couldn't wait to ask directly: "So Mrs. From the second family, the second child responded to his mother more than once before, saying that he wanted you to help worry about the marriage between Sister Zhen and Young Master Zhou, and you also promised me... Since you are completely fine, When do you plan to enter the Zhou Mansion, you should give me a confirmation letter, right?"

"I go to the door of Zhou Mansion?" Mrs. Zhao frowned slightly, just when Mrs. Song and others thought she would refuse again, she caught off guard and smiled: "His Zhou Mansion is not that big yet. If I can save face, I will go there personally, so don't worry, sister-in-law, I will send an invitation later and let Mrs. Zhou stay in the house for a while."

Why are you so happy?Even if I personally came to the door to convince him that day, the other party should always put on a show of hesitation...

Looking at the face of the person opposite who was smiling at Yan Yan, Song couldn't help but wonder if she was dreaming, and felt a little uneasy in her heart, but couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

"It's so good." The old lady at the front showed a rare expression of satisfaction.

Song returned to her senses, barely suppressed the sense of uncertainty, and finally had a little joy on her face.

Even in this situation, neither she nor Wu Jinzhen had any regrets.Xu is that the mother and daughter are still thinking at the moment, if it wasn't for the special means to catch up with the fourth son of the Zhou family, how could Wu Jinzhen have the opportunity to be a serious official wife?

Mrs. Zhao did what she said, and not long after, she posted a post inviting many noble ladies to the Wu Mansion. On that day, there was an endless stream of carriages coming and going in front of the Grand Scholars' Mansion, and Steward Wu's face was almost smirking because of his profession. A lot of new wrinkles appeared.

Because the Zhao family is from the south, there is a big garden and two small gardens in the backyard of the Wu Mansion, and the landscaping is exquisite and beautiful, which has attracted the praise of the ladies in Beijing.

In that big garden, there is also an artificial pond that introduces running water from outside the mansion, and a boat stands beside the water.

At this time, all the windows of the boat are open outwards, through which the internal situation can be vaguely seen. Mrs. Zhao is smiling and talking happily with other wives, only Mrs. Zhou is sitting closest to the door. On the face, embarrassment could not be concealed.

Yes, yes, yes, Zhao obviously doesn't want both sides to be too happy, although the Song over there has lowered his head, but the Zhou family here is still struggling.

Accompanied by bursts of crisp laughter, Wu Jinrou posed like a host and shuttled around the boat to help Mrs. Zhao greet the guests. Every time she attracted some compliments, she would show a little shyness at the right time, making her even more obvious. His face is as delicate and charming as the flowers blooming outside the window.

In a warm pavilion not far from the boat, the bustling sound from the other side of the pond could be heard intermittently in the ears of Haiyao who was flipping through a booklet in her hand, which inevitably made her raise her eyebrows slightly , looking a little strange.

Originally, Mrs. Zhao wanted her to show her face in front of many wives today, but she refused, and took the initiative to give this opportunity to Wu Jinrou.

Mrs. Zhao hesitated for a while and readily agreed, probably because she felt that she had a low-key personality, not to mention that she would encounter some embarrassment when she saw Mrs. Zhou, so it was fine if she didn't show her face.

However, the real reason for Haiyao's reluctance to show her face was far from Zhao's guess. The reason why Wu Jinrou was given this opportunity was because she needed to find something to restrain the other party's energy temporarily, that's all.

Just when she was a little distracted, Chunxi who had been standing at the door looking out suddenly said, "Miss, someone is here."

"En." Haiyao replied calmly, the rhythm of the movements of her hands was not disturbed at all, and she was still flipping through the booklet in a leisurely manner.

Until Chunxi's reluctant greeting came: "I met Miss Tang."

It is said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Wu Jinzhen, who rushed in from outside the door, had a bright smile mixed with some not obvious complacency on her face, her chin was raised slightly, and her tone of voice was even Upwardly: "Hey, the mansion is so lively today, why is the hall sister sleeping alone in this warm pavilion?"

"Let's talk about each other, isn't Cousin Zhen also standing here chatting with me right now?" Haiyao replied coldly without even raising her eyelids.

Wu Jinzhen was not annoyed when she heard this, in short, she was the winner in Zhou Zhoulang's matter, as long as she put on a superior posture, she was enough to deal with everything.

"Why can't I go to the boat, the reason is the lobby girl knows best." The girl was a little shy, and her words were showing off secretly.

Since the founding of the country, there has never been a reason for the elders to talk about the marriage of their children and the parties involved to be present.

"Speaking of which, I really want to thank my sister-in-law, so I discussed it with my mother. When I get married later, I will definitely invite you to the house as a guest." Wu Jinzhen was extremely sarcastic, and took two steps forward gracefully Sitting on the chair opposite: "Cousin sister, don't blame me as a sister for not reminding you, with your temper, it is bound to be difficult to have a good marriage."

"Also, I'm talking to you right now. What do you mean by just looking at the book in your hand?" She looked uneasy, and she felt that being able to say what she just said was considered as benevolent and righteous. The meaning is hidden quite deeply.

Haiyao closed the booklet casually and put it aside, the expression of the person on the other side was not only cryptic, if he didn't know it at all, it would be hard to hear that this guy was implying that there was something wrong with Wu Jinrou.

Maybe Wu Jinzhen didn't really want to remind her, but after doing bad things, she was self-deceived by guilt after being complacent, and what she wanted was just a little peace of mind afterwards.

"Then I would like to thank Cousin Zhen. If you can really have a good relationship with Mr. Zhou Zhou, as a younger sister, I will naturally be happy for you. Don't say it, although last time I only saw it from a distance in the residence of the admonishing doctor." Mr. Zhou took a quick look, but you can also see that he is indeed a good match for you, Cousin Zhen." Haiyao opened her mouth with a smile, and after putting the booklet upside down very naturally, she used He raised the teapot on the table with his hand and poured two cups of tea slowly.

"Cousin, please." While speaking, she pushed one of the cups in front of the other party.

Looking down at the emerald green tea soup in the white porcelain cup, Wu Jinzhen frowned slightly, feeling a little absurd in her heart: "There are only you and me in this Nuan Pavilion right now, there is really no need for the hall sister to make such a forced smile Let me show you my sensible appearance, tell the truth? Don’t you want to have my blood and eat my flesh now?”

She came here today to show off, and she just barely pretended that she had reached her limit a long time ago, and she couldn't see the scene of the expected beauty crying sadly, how reconciled she was, so even if she took it off, the outside That mask, after all, reveals the true intention inside.

Unexpectedly, what responded to her was the surprised look of Haiyao's undead deed: "Where did you say that, Cousin Zhen? You and I both have the surname Wu, but we are close from the same root. Can you have a good relationship with me?" How can you feel resentment?"

"Nonsense, who doesn't know that Zhou Lang is a good match specially appointed by your aunt for you, and you obviously liked him last time at the doctor's mansion!" Wu Jinzhen only felt that the plain face on the opposite side was really a bit strange. Dazzling, he couldn't control it for a while, and blurted out directly.

"I like Zhou Zhou Lang?" Haiyao was completely astonished, and then she smiled slightly: "Mother has indeed talked about how the fourth son of the Zhou family is motivated, but it's just because of the elder's love for the younger generation. Nothing else."

"Is Cousin Zhen wrong? My father is a third-rank university scholar. What kind of family is he in the Zhou Mansion? To be honest, Cousin Zhen doesn't like to hear it, this kind of small family... "

Although she didn't say the rest clearly, the vague disdain on her face could already represent everything.

Indeed, is the eldest daughter of a scholar's family worthy of a son of what kind of family background?It's really nothing rare for a mere fourth son in the Xiuzhuan mansion to catch a lot of young masters of this level in Jingzhong.

boom!
At this moment, Wu Jinzhen only felt that something exploded in her mind, her thinking was as muddy as mud, and she couldn't make any reaction in a short time.

In a trance, she only heard Haiyao on the opposite side muttering again softly: "Speaking of which, sister Jinrou and I actually owe a big favor to Cousin Zhen! Mrs. Zhou always likes to curry favor with her mother, trying to become a bachelor in vain. Mansion, what is the current scene if everyone is happy?"

Click!

Wu Jinzhen, who hadn't recovered from the previous blow, was stunned by another thunderbolt right after.

"What did you say?" She asked angrily, her tone full of disbelief.
