The self-disciplined princess wins

Chapter 15
The paper was still crumpled, as if it had been clumped together.

"Aunt Bai, what do you mean by letting me see your own portrait?"

"Mrs. Hou, this is painted by the third son Zhang Hongze." Aunt Bai replied weakly, feeling a little timid for no reason, but for the sake of her own child, she opened her mouth again: "Mrs. Hou, the third son is not young anymore. , I want to find a husband for him."

Mrs. Hou didn't believe what she heard, as if she heard a big joke, she said with a smile: "Aunt Bai, don't be joking, everyone knows the situation of the third young master, how could you draw a portrait of you?"

"Mrs. Hou, this portrait was indeed drawn by the third young master, and the third young miss also knows about it." Aunt Bai hurriedly explained, lest Mrs. Hou would not believe it.

She didn't feel that Mrs. Hou's doubts were wrong, and it was normal to have such doubts. After all, Zhang Hongze's situation was obvious to all.

She had never even attended a family banquet, and Aunt Bai was afraid that he would be rude, so she went crazy again.

Madam Hou kept staring at her, and when she heard her explanation, she looked at the portrait of Aunt Bai in her hand.

"Aunt Bai, it's fine to hire a gentleman, but you have to think carefully, I'm afraid you can't hide the situation of the third young master." Madam Hou thought for a while, it's okay to hire a husband, it's a good idea to spend money to buy Aunt Bai. The second is that the reputation of the third son can also be outside, so why not do it.

That being the case, she didn't stop her, she just let her think about it for herself, said everything that should be said, and saved herself from resenting herself in the future.

"Mrs. Hou was joking. No matter how bad the third son is, he is still Lord Hou's son. Even if outsiders are talkative, they dare not talk too much in front of the Hou Mansion."

Mrs. Hou nodded, thinking that what she said made some sense, but what was the use of it, outsiders were clear about it, and would talk too much in private if they didn't talk about it in the Hou's mansion.

"I will search for it. The third son's situation is special, so it may not be easy to find him." Mrs. Hou thought, who is willing to teach such a person?It's just a waste of time.

Aunt Bai thought so too, with the situation of the third young master, it might not be easy to find a husband, and she already had countermeasures before she came.

"Mrs. Hou, my concubine is willing to give half of the monthly bill to the third son to ask for a husband. I believe that with so much money, there must be someone who is willing."

Mrs. Hou looked highly at Aunt Bai, she was willing to give half of the monthly fee for the third son to invite a gentleman, which is quite a lot, not to mention one gentleman, three gentlemen are enough to invite him.

"Okay, let's do as you say."

Aunt Bai thanked Mrs. Hou a thousand times for not disturbing her rest, and left the courtyard with a smile on her face.

Madam Hou looked at the portrait in her hand, and said to Jingdan: "Is this painting really made by the third son?"

"I don't know." Jing Dan couldn't answer, and she didn't follow the third son.Of course I don't know.

"If the third son really did it, it would be troublesome." Mrs. Hou frowned and said.

"Ma'am, what are you worried about?"

"If the third son recovers from his illness, I'm afraid the eldest son won't be able to compare to him." Mrs. Hou was still somewhat worried. She knew that her son's talent was mediocre, but he only got his fame through studying hard.

However, the third son Zhang Hongze was able to draw such a similar portrait in Aunt Bai's courtyard with no one to teach him. It can be seen that in terms of talent, the third son is above the eldest son.

In addition, although the Eldest Miss has been named Chang'an Princess, she has no relationship with the royal family anymore, and her marriage will be considered in the future, and the Third Miss Zhang Anchu, according to the intention of the Marquis, must be sent to the palace, so Zhang Anchu no matter what So, her marriage is better than Zhang Anxian's.

How could she not be worried if this went on like this?

"Ma'am, don't worry too much. The eldest son knows how to make progress. Now he is a Jinshi. He will definitely come back with a champion next time. After entering the court, he will be an official. The Hou's mansion is no longer empty with titles. How can he be a lunatic? Can a fool compare? In the situation of the third son, it is impossible to enter the court as an official, and he has not said a word until now, how could the court want a mute to be an official?" Jing Dan comforted.

Mrs. Hou nodded, thinking she was right. Zhang Hongze is already 12 years old, and he hasn't said a word yet, and he probably won't open his mouth in the future. No matter how talented he is, he won't be able to become an official, and he has no future at all. of.

But after thinking about it, he asked suspiciously: "Since that's the case, why did Aunt Bai ask for a husband for him? Anyway, no matter how I teach him, he won't be able to be an official."

Jing Dan also had some doubts in his heart, but they quickly dissipated, and said: "Aunt Bai probably still has hope."

"Hehe..." Mrs. Hou felt a little ridiculous, and even felt that Aunt Bai's thinking was too simple. If Zhang Hongze could be normal, he would have been normal a long time ago. How can he be normal just by finding a husband?

Even though it was getting late, Aunt Bai was in a really good mood after solving Zhang Hongze's request for a husband. She wanted to find Zhang Anchu to share the joy at this time, and hurried to her yard with her maid.

"Chuchu, Mrs. Hou agrees, and agrees to hire a gentleman for your brother." Aunt Bai said happily after entering the room.

Zhang Anchu stood up from the desk and asked, "Really?"

"Well, no matter what, Mrs. Hou has never treated you harshly. If your younger brother hadn't been ill, she would probably go to the private school with the eldest son." Aunt Bai said.

On this point, Aunt Bai still agrees with Mrs. Hou. Although she didn't sell herself a contract, nor did she cancel her pleasure, she would never treat the child harshly.

The smile on Zhang Anchu's face sank. If she wasn't in her position, Aunt Bai probably wouldn't be able to empathize with her.

Indeed, she will not treat her harshly. Mrs. Hou has done a good job in this regard.

But other things won't be any better. If they treat you a little better, there must be something for them.

For example, she learned to dance with a purpose. For example, the female gentleman has been refusing to teach other things, and she later said that she missed it from the female husband.

Zhang Anchu guessed that she was afraid that you were not good, but also that you were too good. This was Madam Hou's mentality.

Therefore, she can't say she doesn't like or dislike this Mrs. Hou, but she just respects and keeps her at a distance.

In this Hou's mansion, Aunt Bai is the one who treats her best. She really thinks about herself, but she speaks lightly and can't influence anyone. Aunt Bai can only treat Zhang Anchu well within her range.

"Perhaps." Zhang Anchu sat down, unconsciously, at this very moment, she felt that Aunt Bai had changed.

It seems that I have gotten used to the life in the Hou Mansion, used to being safe and humble, just like a servant, and I still need to be grateful to my master.

"I have nothing else to do, just to tell you that it's so late, you should lie down too, and Auntie will go back first." Aunt Bai said without stopping the smile on her face.

"Okay, you have to see the road clearly on the road, and walk slowly."
