reborn girl

Chapter 61

The wheels creaked and turned, and a group of carriages passed by quickly and steadily on the relatively smooth mountain road. In the middle of a large carved carriage, Zhang Yan was lying on the thick cushion, holding a book in one hand. , looking intently, but with the other hand, from time to time, he squeezed out a candied fruit snack from the small bamboo basket next to him, grinding his teeth slowly, all for entertainment.

After a while, Zhang Yan moved his body, but he still couldn't help looking back, his black and white eyes blinked, looked at Liu Shi with a helpless smile, and said, "Mother, aren't your eyes sore? Just tell me if you have something to say." Oh!" Her mother has been staring at her for quite a while, and she still hasn't looked away, her scalp is numb from being looked at so passionately.

"Hehe!" Mrs. Liu pulled Zhang Yan up and pulled her towards her side.Zhang Yan had no choice but to put the book aside, and obediently sat close to her with Liu's strength.

Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter carefully, stuffed a cup of tea into Zhang Yan's hand, then sighed softly, and said with emotion: "Yan'er, you've grown up!"

As soon as Zhang Yan heard this, he felt very familiar.

Sure enough, Liu's next sentence was: "I'm fourteen this year, and I'm about to reach my age."

This is such a hot topic!Zhang Yan secretly rolled his eyes, then smiled sweetly, and answered with great experience:

"Are you asking me what I want from my future husband?"

This is what people like to ask her the most these days. Sometimes it can't help but make her feel as if she hates getting married. This kind of feeling that everyone is worried about is really embarrassing!

"You child!" Liu Shi patted Zhang Yan lightly, and then her voice changed, her eyes moved slightly, and she said with a doting face: "How can you talk about your marriage so carelessly? You can't go out. That's it!" After a pause, he continued: "Speaking of which, what do you want to find, tell mother, so mother can choose for you!"

"Okay!" Zhang Yan didn't hesitate, and happily repeated to Liu Shi what he said to Master Qin that day.For the marriage, she didn't have much expectation. As long as that person respects her and respects the ethics, she will be invincible and live her life happily.

She knew in her heart that what she had got was enough. Her parents doted on her and her elder brother loved her. Therefore, she would not force things that did not belong to her. She would naturally work hard if she could be in harmony with her future husband-in-law. That fate, let it take its course is also very good.She has known for a long time that not all men can be like her father. Although she is envious, she does not expect too much.

Listening to her daughter clearly listing her requirements one by one without any shyness, Mrs. Liu felt indescribably complicated, but it was okay, when she heard "dirty disease" later, she couldn't control it. Her face twitched, and she looked up at her beautiful and delicate face even though she was speaking extremely cruel words, Liu Shi really felt lucky!No matter how out of touch the girl is, with just this face, she can still get married—right?From now on, Liu's mind has set a direction, the future son-in-law must find an honest and tolerant one, otherwise, how noisy it will be!

Imagine that scene where chickens were flying and dogs were jumping, Liu Shi covered her stuffy chest, sighed a long time, pulled Zhang Yan's white and tender paws, and persuaded earnestly: "From now on, stay outside and talk as little as possible! "She has to hurry up, and when others don't know the details of her daughter, she should pack it up and send it out first, or else... Tired!

"Oh——" Zhang Yan lazily replied, she felt that her face was already invulnerable, the disgust in Liu's words, hehe, don't be too mean!

Spinning the beads on his wrist in boredom, Zhang Yan was bored, and suddenly his heart moved, as if thinking of something, turned to look at Liu Shi, Zhang Yan smiled and said curiously:

"Mother, when I return to the capital this time, it's time for the eldest brother to get married!"

In other words, her wish has come true.A year ago, Sheng Nuo and Ji's father wrote to Sheng's father to arrange a marriage for their elder brother Zhang Linsong, and they will marry the two of them when they return to Beijing.

For this matter, when Zhang Yan sent bonuses to the capital, he wrote a letter specially, which was quite a tease!

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu raised her eyebrows and smiled, and her eyes widened, showing that she attached great importance to this marriage. She nodded slightly, pursed her lips and said with a smile:

"No, when we return to the capital, the first thing we do is to arrange a wedding for them. Alas!" Mrs. Liu let out a sigh, rubbed her chest, and said, "Fortunately, your elder brother has won the exam and came back with a Jieyuan test. It can be regarded as giving the girl of the Sheng family a face."

The eldest brother Zhang Linsong and the second brother Zhang Linbo both came from Master Qin, and under the guidance of Master Qin, they took part in the provincial examination.Because of this, my mother was very happy to send a large cart of fine wine to Mrs. Qin. Among them, the Tibetan wine that my father would not be willing to drink on weekdays, my mother was not polite at all, and packed them all. Resentment haunted her for several days, but she didn't dare to object. Zhang Yanxiao couldn't be better off with that look!
When it came to the marriage of children, Liu Shi had a lot to think about. She squinted her eyes and thought for a while, rubbing her teacup, and said calmly: "Your eldest brother is getting married, but it's up to your second brother."

Back in Kyoto, although there is a wider range of options for choosing a daughter-in-law, she can also choose a good-looking one.However, a large family is in one place, and there are many troubles.

Although this time she has discussed with her husband, since the family is separated, she simply chooses a house to live in another place, so she is happy and free from restraint.But after all, they get along well, if others want to find fault, she will be bothered!
It's like the letter sent by sister-in-law Liang earlier... Liu's eyes were slightly cold, and he looked down at the shadow of water in the cup, feeling very gloomy.

I haven't seen anyone coming to greet me for a few years since I left Beijing, but now I want her son's marriage with a thin letter, hum!What a great idea!
Zhang Yan looked sideways at Liu Shi's expression, saw that she had a bad look on her face, and somehow knew some fragments in her heart, so she leaned back on the cushion with a wink, and turned the pages of the book by herself.

Zhang Yan knew in her heart that there was no room for her to intervene in such a matter.Besides, in her opinion, this matter is very absurd, not to mention the parents, but even the grandmother, Mrs. Shen, would not be happy, she never doubted this.

Zhang Yan sighed in his heart, and ruthlessly cast aside everyone in the Zhang family's old house who was always restless.It's not to blame Liu Shi for being angry, it's really... Sigh!

In fact, the matter is very simple. The eldest aunt of the Zhang family and her father's elder sister want to betroth their young daughter to the second elder brother Lin Bo, but she and the third room have never been close, and there was a history of bad words when they were young. After such a remark, naturally he couldn't hold back his face and opened his mouth.It's ridiculous to say that people put on airs because of their status, but let the uncle come forward and write a book, implying in words that Sanfang should ask the eldest aunt to propose marriage, so that a kiss can be added.

When Liu Shi read the letter, she was so angry that one Buddha and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, Zhang Zhiqing's expression was not gloomy, and he simply threw the letter aside, pretending it was nothing.

Even though they are far away in Yanzhou, they are not blind.The news is also well-informed.The youngest daughter of the great aunt of the Zhang family is the most coquettish and domineering one. In the letter Sheng Nuo sent to Zhang Yan, she talked about gossip in the capital, and also mentioned that the youngest daughter of the fourth master’s family of the Duke of Chang’s mansion, because of discord, Annoyed, he pulled out the hairpin and scratched the face of the girl he was quarreling with, which attracted the Duke's mansion to come to make amends, and it was only after some consolation that he suppressed the matter.

However, under such circumstances, the reputation is really bad.Who would dare to have such a 'capable' girl?This time it's a hairpin, what about next time?Just thinking about it can't help but make me shiver!
Aunt Zhang's grandma, the fourth grandma of Duke Chang's mansion, was even more anxious.At this time, with an idea, he thought of his natal nephew. He has high eyesight. Those who are concubines look down on those who are concubine, and those who are of the same age. Well!
Hence, what happened later.To say that getting married is a good thing for two surnames, but in this way, er——are they sure they are not feuding?

Zhang Yan shook her head speechlessly. She had to admit that maybe some people's brain holes were opened in the wrong way, and she really couldn't understand it!

Liu's idea is more direct, who can not have a mother's family?Compared with her eldest aunt, she believed in the upbringing of the big clan in Longxi. Within two days after receiving the letter, after having a detailed discussion with Zhang Zhiqing, she sent the letter to the Liu family. Her second son went to her natal family for a visit to the head of the Liu family, oh, it was the elder brother of the Liu family who took a look and made a marriage.

Although there is no paperwork, this matter is [-]% complete. Liu's heart is holding her breath, but she intends to say the best to her youngest son, so that she will be mad at the elder sister who can't look at people!

Along the way, Zhang Yan idly flipped through books to pass the time, and Liu's spirit before the war was unknowingly passed by. Undershirt.

When we return to Kyoto, we naturally have to go to the Zhang Mansion to pay our respects.Therefore, except for the earthen ritual gifts brought from Yanzhou, the rest were sent back to the private house that had been tidied up in advance.

The carriage passed through the bustling street market, crossed half of the capital, and arrived at Suzaku Street where royal courts gathered.When the carriage stopped quietly, the father heard softly from outside, but it was Zhang's residence.

At this time, Zhang Yan's lady mode was fully activated, and she got out of the carriage behind Liu Shi with gentle eyes, and when she stood still, she suddenly raised her head, yo!It's quite complete!

Why doesn't she know that her family is so popular?Rare!

I saw crowds of people standing in rows in front of the door, dressed in beautiful clothes and full of pearls and emeralds, and the remaining three houses were all living together.Zhang Yan looked downcast, but actually glanced over one by one, looking at the lives one by one.Ok!My aunt is here too, what a rare visitor!

Zhang Yan raised an arc quietly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.It seems that my aunt is determined to win her second brother!Oh!The brocade-clothed girl next to my aunt is the legendary Mo Yake!Tsk tsk, it's really thunderous!

Zhang Yan slandered secretly at the side, but Zhang Zhiqing and Liu Shi had no time to spare, they stepped forward to salute and greet, the two brothers Lin Song and Lin Bai followed closely behind, Zhang Yan inadvertently noticed Mo Yake's glance towards this side , without moving his eyebrows, but quietly moved a step slightly, seemingly unintentionally blocking the second brother, blocking Mo Yake's sight.

Immediately, the gaze seemed to stop for a moment, and then silently retracted.

Afterwards, a clear and crisp laughter was heard, and Zhang Yan caught sight of Mo Yake, who was smiling and stepped forward, looking at Mrs. Liu affectionately and admiringly, and saluted:
"I have met my second aunt, and Yake greets my second aunt. I haven't seen you for many years, Yake misses you very much!"

Liu's smile was generous and clear. Hearing this, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, gently helped the girl up, and said with a smile:
"Ya Ke is so beautiful, even my aunt dare not recognize her!"

"My aunt is used to laughing at me, Yake doesn't listen to me." Mo Yake smiled shyly and said softly.

After all, she raised her head, as if she had just discovered Zhang Yan, walked a few steps quickly with eyes full of surprises, grabbed Zhang Yan, and said with admiration: "This is Yan'er's cousin! She looks really good-looking."
