Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 323 Zhang Tingyu Returns to Beijing

"Go, go out and meet him."

The mother on the side said: "Ma'am, son, he should be here soon. If I see you like this, I'm afraid I will be sad. Also, son is the most filial. If I see you go out to meet him, I will feel uneasy." gone."

Mrs. Zhang is impatient and wants to see her son soon.

He sighed and said, "Forget it, I guess it will be here soon."

Zhang Tingyu came in after a while.

"My son has met his mother, please greet her." Zhang Tingyu knelt on the ground after speaking.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang saw her son's eyes, she couldn't control her eyes. She couldn't help shedding tears. She looked at Zhang Tingyu and pulled her up: "Get up, get up, it's good to be back, talk to mother."

Mrs. Zhang loved her a lot, and Zhang Tingyu went back to her yard after eating.

Because he knew that he would come back soon, although the exact time was uncertain, Mrs. Zhang had already cleaned the yard clean.

It was already afternoon when Zhang Tingyu came back. After dinner, he was left to talk again. When he returned to his yard, the sky had already darkened.

So I didn't even think about going to Qiu Wen.

Qiu Wen lives in Niu Gulu's mansion, which is different from dominating her own village in the past. If he really went, it would be bad!

Where did Qiu Wen receive Zhang Tingyu's letter? She also knew that he had just come back and there must be arrangements at home, so she was very patient. After waiting for such a long time, she had already arrived in the capital, so she didn't care about a day or two.

The next day Zhang Tingyu came over to greet his mother after breakfast.

"Tingyu! What are your plans for coming back this time?"

Zhang Tingyu said: "For the time being, I plan to study at home, and I will make plans after the imperial examination tomorrow."

Although he said to make plans, he knew in his heart that he must go to Cangzhou, and it should be time next year, but he didn't plan to tell his mother about this kind of thing.

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "It's good to stay here. You are too old. Mother has not met many girls from other families recently. Tell mother what kind of girl you like. Mother will let you know."

Zhang Tingyu didn't expect his mother to be so anxious, she just came back and wanted to arrange a marriage for him. The matter between him and Qiu Wen hasn't been clarified yet, so it's impossible to say it now. He knows his mother's temperament, although it's not mean. He is human, but respects the rules. If he wants to be with Qiu Wen smoothly, it is impossible to tell her directly.

If Qiu Wen didn't have the status of Niu Yulu, he could directly ask the emperor for a marriage, and tell his mother that he fell in love with Qiu Wen at first sight, and his mother would have nothing to say.

Now such an arrangement is not the best and most appropriate arrangement, he needs to think again.

Zhang Tingyu thought for a while and said: "Mother, my son just came back, you have to let him rest for a few days. As for the marriage, my son is not in a hurry for now."

Mrs. Zhang is in a hurry!

She always felt that this person had to be married before he could have sex, and it was easy to settle down. She just didn't want her son to run away.

Mrs. Zhang's complexion was a little uncomfortable: "Tingyu! You are old and young, and it's time to get married. Yes, mother knows that you are busy, but it is because you are busy that mother wants to find you a daughter-in-law who can help you. If you can't take care of you for the rest of your life, you should marry a daughter-in-law."

Looking at his mother's face, Zhang Tingyu really couldn't say anything to refuse, but said: "Mother is right, but mother, my son has something to do recently, this matter will wait."

When Madam Zhang heard him say to wait, she thought to herself that this is not possible, and who knows if there is more to come.

She was about to say something when Zhang Tingyu hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, my son will never lie to you, and my son promises to get married next year at the latest."

Mrs. Zhang was a little satisfied with his guarantee.

"That's fine, but you can't lie to your mother, you will get married next year no matter what."

Zhang Tingyu said: "No problem, we will definitely get married next year."

Only then did Mrs. Zhang let go of her heart, but although she said so, Mrs. Zhang was not idle. After all, her son said that she would definitely get married next year, and a daughter-in-law would not fall from the sky, so she had to find it herself.

Zhang Tingyu expressed his determination here, and then went to his father.

After coming back yesterday, he said a few words during dinner. Originally, he planned to go to see his father at night, but his mother sent him back to his yard directly, saying that he came all the way, so he should have a good rest.

Although Zhang Tingyu didn't feel too tired, but his mother felt that he was tired, so shouldn't he be tired?
After all, he couldn't be at home in the past few years, which made his mother worry a lot. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is not filial, it would be better to make his mother happy.

Zhang Ying looked at his son who became more and more resolute, and felt quite admiration in his heart. The eldest son was weak in body and bones. Now that the imperial examination system has been changed, the eldest son can take part, and his level is good enough. If it is said that there is no problem in making people concentrate on learning and theory, but being an official, Zhang Ying himself understands that it is somewhat difficult.

His current plan for his eldest son is to let him follow the noble path, enter the Imperial Academy, and teach people how to compile books. This is also what Zhang Tingzan is good at.

Zhang Ying also discussed this with his eldest son, and he himself knew his own situation, so he had no opinion on it.

Zhang Ying knew that the next generation of the Zhang family depended on Zhang Tingyu.

He also loves his son, but he didn't stop his son from going out to practice when he was still a teenager. This is something that must be experienced, and the father and son also have a tacit understanding in this regard.

"I saw my father."

"Come on, sit down and talk."

"Yes."

Zhang Ying asked some things about Cangzhou, but the questions were all about some things in life, not because Zhang Ying didn't want to ask about other things, but as Zhang Tingyu's father and elder brother's master, the emperor would not know about some things keep it from him.

Of course, if the emperor didn't want him to know some things, then Zhang Tingyu would never know.

The same is true of Zhang Tingyu, he will say things that he feels necessary to let his father know, and some unnecessary things are unnecessary.

Zhang Tingyu hesitated for the last moment, and then did not tell his father about his relationship.

After leaving the study, Zhang Tingyu sent a letter to Qiu Wen. Both of them were in the capital, so they couldn't see each other even more. There were so many people, so they should pay attention to this aspect.

Especially after Qiu Wen came to the capital, she found out that the rules in the capital are really stricter than those in Cangzhou, and everyone here basically knows what to do every day.

The reason why she was able to deliver the letter was that she was basically surrounded by her own people. Qiu Wen was more than once thankful that she had brought people over from Cangzhou.

Although Zhang Tingyu and Qiu Wen couldn't see each other, the letters between them continued.

"Gege, there is something wrong with the bookstore."

Qiu Wen asked, "What's the matter?"

Luoxue said: "It's the new book shop. There is a man who insists on going in. The people from our book shop stopped him. It was fine at first, but the man said that he would not let our book shop go, and the shopkeeper didn't act What happened, but a lot of people came to the book shop today to make trouble, the shopkeeper couldn’t solve it, and temporarily detained them, but they said that they would not let our book shop go.”

It means that there will always be trouble.

Qiu Wen frowned: "Have you found out who it is?"

Luo Xue shook her head: "I didn't find out."

Qiu Wen had some thoughts in her mind. Her contacts with this bookstore were not ordinary people, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it, unless someone deliberately made trouble, or that person was not at the same level.

Both situations are possible, and the specific situation has not been found yet, so we need to look again.

Qiu Wen could only say: "You first ask someone to check and see who that person is."

Qiu Wen does not fight unprepared battles, she must always know who it is.
