C4 Second Grandmother's Scheming
The old lady had the best face, so when Ying Er said the words that Lu Zheng and Qi Biao said about the Zhang Family, how could the old lady not have face?
By the time Ying Er regained her senses, she was actually very intelligent, but she was still a girl. What she valued the most was reputation, yesterday Lu Zheng had insinuated that she had gone to the West Garden in the middle of the night because it was strange, and she had always had a grudge against him.
Today, Second Wife Hua had once again mentioned the matter of Lu Zheng and his servant sneaking out to drink at his inn yesterday. She panicked in her heart. Ying Er thought that the two little girls had carried her over to Hua Hanyun's side to chew on their tongues. Although there was nothing between her and Lu Zheng, it was dark and bright, and they were in a remote place. The two of them spoke so much, and Lu Zheng even spoke so much nonsense, so how could they explain it so clearly?
Just as she was panicking, Zhang Baoyi's sudden shout caused her to panic even more. At that time, she did not think carefully about it and only felt resentment towards Lu Zheng. Thinking of denouncing him in front of the old ladies and wives, she told him what happened yesterday. Her purpose was still to avoid suspicion! Saying a thousand words, saying ten thousand, she was disturbed by Lu Zheng's slanderous words. Otherwise, how could she possibly be in such a state of regret!
"Aiyo, Ying Er girl, where is the distance between you and the old lady? Brother Lu's temper was probably not something a girl could handle. If he was scolded back at her for being rude, then she would be too shameless!
Old ancestor, I will personally make a trip, although this brother here has no rules, and is extremely muddleheaded, but I think I, as a Second Sister-in-law, can still be of some use. Cui Hong, you lead the way, we will go and take a look at Brother Lu! " Hua Hanyun said.
Coming out from Zhang Mu's courtyard, Hua Hanyun's face was so gloomy that water was almost coming out, standing beside her, she did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Liang Shi moved closer and slapped the faces of the two girls who had hit the board: "Are you trying to make the Old Ancestor hear this? Is the Old Ancestor feeling that the fire in his heart is not strong enough? "
Seeing Second Wife like that, the two girls were so scared they did not dare say anything. His subordinates did not dare to fight too much, and just dealing with it randomly, after gathering the numbers, two of their wives immediately came over to help Liang Shi to apply the medicine.
"This damnable Zheng Geer, didn't they say he's just a silly goose or an idiot? How did she offend Ying Er? Could it be that Ying Er has also gotten sick of losing her mind and is going to pierce through the heavens? " Hua Hanyun complained.
She was very beautiful, but she was very hot and impatient.
"Cui Hong, what's wrong with you? Were they unable to move even a single step? You're leading the way! " As Hua Hanyun spoke, she turned her head to face the little girl Cui Hong and was about to get angry.
When she turned around, she was stunned. At the entrance of the old lady's courtyard stood a young man. His eyes were focused on his nose, his nose was focused on his heart, and he was looking straight ahead.
Looking at the young man's appearance, Zhou Zheng's body was skinny, his skin was dark, he was dressed in long robes, giving off the vibe of a scholar. When Hua Hanyun walked out from the door, he did not notice the huge man standing next to him.
Fortunately, Cui Hong had noticed him. She stopped and was not sure if this youth was Lu Zheng or not.
After Lu Zheng had entered the Zhang Mansion, other than the Old Granny and Eldest Wife who had met him once symbolically, the other wives and grandmothers had simply taken this to heart. What was Aunt's intention in sending bastard son back to her parents from the Lu family?
Hua Hanyun kept watch of the house. After hearing from her subordinates that this brat was both silly and silly, and was sickly, she did not put the matter at ease at all. If his mistress disliked him, she would settle down in a place and let him fend for herself!
As the wealthiest family in Yangzhou, the Zhang Family had Lu Zheng living here, and they also had monthly salary and maidservants. After all, this was related to the honor of a family! But these things only existed on the books, how could they be real?
Lu Zheng's monthly allowance was twenty taels of silver according to the young master's usual practice. Four girls, two wives, one tael of silver a month for a girl, five cents a month for a girl, and all sorts of food fees for the New Year.
Naturally, Lu Zheng did not receive any of this and the items were taken from the account at home. Who would benefit from this silver?
Hua Hanyun never thought that this matter would become like this. She felt that there was some injustice to it, and the old lady probably hated Brother Lu so much.
The dignified Yangzhou Mansion's wealthiest, the Zhang Family, was treated by the Lu Family's little brother as having to eat brown rice and mud bran all day long.
"Is it Zheng Geer?" Hua Hanyun stared at the youth and said.
The young man in white was Lu Zheng. He did not expect that the nail that was buried yesterday would have a hole pierced in it. He had gotten up early in the morning just to greet the Zhang family's old lady. There were many rules among the ancients, and the Morningstar Province was the best one.
The so-called "morning sickness" referred to waking up in the morning to pay respects to one's parents and elders. Before going to bed, one also had to pay their respects to their parents and elders. Only after one's parents had gone to sleep would they be able to rest.
Lu Zheng lived in the Zhang parents and elders who were not around, the elders of the Zhang family had already exempted him from the rules. After all, they were not related by blood, what need was there for them to meet each other every day? They were still upset after seeing each other so many times!
However, today, Lu Zheng had passed by Old Lady Zhang's side because he had recovered from a serious illness. It was only right for him to greet Old Lady Zhang and ask for her forgiveness in such a situation.
However, he did not expect that the old lady would fall into a mess so early in the morning. Standing outside the yard, he could roughly hear the situation inside and felt comfortable.
's servant girl, Lu Zheng was really lucky. After burying the nail for an entire night, he had received a miraculous effect.
Hua Hanyun called out Lu Zheng's name and Lu Zheng sized her up.
Meeting Lu Zheng's gaze, the two of them looked at each other, and Hua Hanyun could not help but blush. Lu Zheng was a modern man, he did not need to hide the green glint in his eyes when he saw beautiful women.
Even if Hua Hanyun's personality was spicy and bold, she still felt that it was unbearable. Luckily, Lu Zheng was still young and the childishness on his face had not faded, otherwise the scene would have been even more awkward.
Lu Zheng stared at Hua Hanyun for a long time before saying: "I see that my sister is radiant and radiant, with brilliant embroidery, like a fairy that has descended from the heavens. Isn't she the famous and famous Flower Second Sister-in-law in Yangzhou City?"
"Err …" When Lu Zheng said these words, Hua Hanyun's face reddened even more. She spat and said: "You're so young, yet you speak nonsense. It's unknown who you learned it from. It's as if your mouth was smeared with honey. In the future, who knows which girl will fall for your mouth. "
Hua Hanyun stretched out her slender finger and tapped it on Lu Zheng's forehead after she finished speaking. There was an indescribably flirtatious air.
Actually, in her heart, she wished that she could strangle Lu Zheng to death with a finger, but her smile became even more passionate and she said: "Good brother, the Old Ancestor is hanging on to you, Second Sister-in-law was just about to go look for you. I heard that you were sick, ate badly at home, and slept poorly. Tell me, who the hell made you suffer, Second Sister-in-law decided to help you.
If you come with me to see the old lady now, you must not let the old ancestor get angry over such small matters.
Hearing Hua Hanyun's words, Lu Zheng laughed coldly in his heart, but quickly retreated on the surface as he waved his hand and said:
"Flower Second Sister-in-law, then I don't dare to offend the old granny. If there is any mistake, it would be a grave sin on my part. Since the old lady is unhappy today, I will come again tomorrow to pay my respects! "
After Lu Zheng had finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. However, Hua Hanyun did not dare to let him go, and hurriedly grabbed onto Lu Zheng's sleeves, saying:
"Good brother, you can't leave. The old lady only let me call you because she hangs on you. If you leave, the old lady won't know how to feel sad!"
grabbed Lu Zheng's sleeve, and the distance between the two of them closed in an instant. He looked carefully at Hua Hanyun's appearance, it was truly like a silver bowl, his eyes were the same as almonds, his heart could not help but thump, perhaps this kind of beauty was the "scheming" b * tch that people of the future generation would often speak of?
If it was any ordinary person, they would have been angered by Hua Hanyun's attitude. Of course, Lu Zheng was no ordinary person, he had seen too many schemes in his previous life that Hua Hanyun's were completely ineffective, he stared at Hua Hanyun and spoke word by word:
"Second Sister-in-law, if the Old Granny really asks me about my daily life, how will I answer that? If he continued to coax the old man, it would be lying to his heart, not doing it for a gentleman. "If I were to tell you the truth, hurting the old lady's heart is one thing, but it would also be a great sin to ruin the Zhang family's reputation, wouldn't it?"
Hua Hanyun's hands could not help but freeze for a moment as she stared deeply at Lu Zheng, unable to tell if Lu Zheng was really stupid or if he was challenging her. The last thought that flashed through her mind, was that Lu Zheng was only fourteen years old, and Hao Geer liked to hang out with her every day at the age of sixteen.
While Hua Hanyun was hesitating, Lu Zheng got rid of her hand again and turned to run.
Hua Hanyun could only think of one thing clearly, and that was no matter what, she could not let Lu Zheng escape. Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, took out a silver note from her knapsack, and before she could even see the amount written on it, she placed one hand on Lu Zheng's palm. Then, using her hands, she pulled Lu Zheng's hand, begging him:
"Brother Lu, oh! Even if you're Second Sister-in-law, I'm begging you. Quickly follow Second Sister-in-law in to see the old lady." If we don't go in, our Zhang family's sky will collapse. This bit of silver is a piece of cake for sister-in-law. "When I get back, I'll get someone to settle the courtyard for you. I'll sweep the untactful chefs out of the house and arrange four more girls to serve you. The monthly salary won't be less than yours, alright?"
