When Xia Zhifeng heard the word "marriage", her mind went blank... She had never thought about it. What she wanted was to study wholeheartedly, and what she needed was to prove that the earth was round. How could she care about the personal relationship between her children?
thing?
What's more, she is still very young and far from the time to talk about it.
"Second aunt, stop joking, I have something else to do!"
Saying that, Xia Zhifeng wanted to break away, but this second aunt had been prepared for a long time and was not willing to let go.
She held Xia Zhifeng tightly and said with a smile: "Your mother is gone, and I will be just like your biological mother. The second aunt has no other intention, she just wants to marry you. How can any girl not get married?"
Your father was born in the army and opened a tavern. He couldn't even support himself, but it was a hard time for a miserable girl like me."
As she said this, the second aunt actually wiped away her tears. Unexpectedly, Duo Shen's acting skills could seamlessly switch from smiling to crying.
"Girl, you are still young and don't know what's going on here. The young man my second aunt found for you is only two or three years older than you. His family is rich and his uncle is a high official. He is good at everything.
As I said, there is no rush to get married. I just want to make a decision first and wait until you are fifteen or sixteen before we can talk about marriage."
The second aunt took Xia Zhifeng's arm, pulled her in front of the porters, and said: "Look, these are all fine silks, gold and silver utensils... They have paid so much money for an engagement, this is
How sincere, how sincere, meeting such a good family is such a blessing from heaven, why are you so stupid!"
Xia Zhifeng couldn't listen at all, let alone care about these things.
"My dad, my dad is not at home, I have to wait for him to come back from Yingtian!"
Xia Zhifeng took out her father and wanted to push him away.
Unexpectedly, the second aunt hesitated a little, then smiled and said: "It's hard to say, your father won't have anything to say when he comes back. In your marriage, the second aunt will be half of the family. You can accept these gifts first."
Come on, let’s talk about something else later.”
Xia Zhifeng was so anxious that she accepted gifts from random people. What was this?
Xia Zhifeng was holding a stack of books in her hands. She subconsciously let go and it landed on the second aunt's feet. When the second aunt was in a daze, Xia Zhifeng quickly broke away and stepped aside, yelling at the porters: "Get out of here."
, this is my home! Take everything away! I don’t want it! I don’t want it!”
The porters looked at the second aunt and said to themselves, you asked us to come, let’s make an idea!
The second aunt chuckled and said, "Hey! Did you see that our little girl has a temper? Don't be afraid. It is a traditional rule to give a deposit as a betrothal gift. There is no need to be embarrassed. Go ahead and carry it in!"
The porters understood this and hurried inside.
Xia Zhifeng saw this and was extremely anxious.
What is this? Kill it first and show it later?
Once you receive the money, can you still regret it?
Xia Zhifeng roared and asked them to take the things away, but they were not angry, they were just laughing. What does a child mean?
At this time, the second aunt pounced on you again. She just let you break free, but this time you can't run away.
Xia Zhifeng was in a dilemma. She wanted to leave, but she didn't know what her second aunt would do.
But if you continue to stay, these people will act like wolves, tigers and leopards again!
Dad is still running bookstore business in Yingtian and has not come back.
What can I do?
At this moment, Xia Zhifeng felt that the sky was getting dark. She had never encountered such great malice since she was a child... She was obviously her relative, and they always had a smiling face and every mouth was for your own good, but in
In Xia Zhifeng's opinion, they were just a bunch of hateful evil spirits.
Her tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.
The second aunt saw this and was very happy. How much opinion can a little girl have? Why not just give in!
She hurried over, pretending to be distressed and said: "Girl Feng, don't cry, let your second aunt take a look!" She stretched out her hand to grab it, but the next second, someone stopped in front of Xia Zhifeng. Zhang Shuning looked at her angrily.
Second aunt.
He had been watching for a while, and when the marriage was mentioned, Zhang Shuning felt inexplicably angry, but since they were not close to each other, he could not speak harshly to his second aunt.
But seeing Xia Zhifeng crying in anger, Zhang Shuning couldn't sit idly by and ignore it.
Although he is young, he is very tall, and with his horse riding and archery skills, he has some martial prowess. The second aunt hesitated for a while and couldn't help but said: "This little brother, who are you?"
"I'm Xia Zhifeng's classmate...what are you doing?"
The second aunt rolled her eyes and suddenly smiled: "Hey! Who do I think you are? Don't worry, when our girl Feng is officially engaged, I promise to treat guests and serve wine, then you will come over! Have a good meal, after all, it is for life.
It’s a big event, let’s be happy together!”
Faced with these words, Zhang Shuning was slightly stunned... He had studied various students and summarized so many experiences. But facing this kind of market woman, he had no idea at all.
Zhang Shuning didn't know what to say, but he still protected Xia Zhifeng.
Seeing Zhang Shuning's appearance, Xia Zhifeng gained a little more courage. She said angrily: "You don't need to make the decision about my marriage. You should leave now and take all these things away! I don't welcome you!"
When Zhang Shuning heard this, he also said angrily: "That's right, Xia Zhifeng has already said that you are not welcome. If you just break into other people's houses, don't you have the law?"
The second aunt was not afraid at all, but smiled and said: "What kind of royal method? I am her second aunt, and she is my niece, a close relative of the whole family! I, an elder, came all the way to arrange a match for her, all for the sake of
She's good! Good guy, you want to lock me up, is there any truth in this world? We Feng girls are filial and will never do such a thing... You are a child, just a classmate, get out of my way.
, don’t force your mother-in-law to say something unpleasant!”
The second aunt sneered: "If I start to scold someone, you won't be able to bear it!"
Zhang Shuning's face turned pale. He had never encountered such a thing before. From the time he could remember, no one had dared to speak harshly or harshly to him. Who gave you the courage?
"Don't think I don't understand. You arranged the marriage and are greedy for money and profit. Why do you think you are a relative and elder?" Zhang Shuning was not polite and scolded directly.
But the next second, a scene happened that stunned Zhang Shuning.
The second aunt actually sat down on the ground and cried loudly.
"I'm not alive anymore! You're so old, and you came here to mediate! You're doing a good deed! But a little kid with no fur even grew up scolded me! Oh my god! How can I live!"
She cried all day long, wiped away her tears, and kept slapping the ground, making her covered in dust and miserable.
The porters saw this and several of them gathered around.
They rolled up their sleeves and clearly had bad intentions.
"Second Aunt Han, what's wrong with you? Are you being bullied?"
The second aunt said quickly: "Who says it's not the case! Such a brat scolded me to the point where my old face was all gone. I'm not alive anymore!"
As he spoke, this man actually got up and ran straight to the well, "Let me jump in!"
Obviously, the second aunt was acting, but it also made Xia Zhifeng change her expression. She tugged on Zhang Shuning's clothes and wanted to exit.
However, several porters had already blocked the door. Two porters on the other side grabbed the second aunt and dragged her over.
"It's such a big deal, don't seek life and death!"
"No, you only have one face!" The second aunt said angrily: "Catch this kid and send him to the Yamen, and let the people from the Yamen make the decision for us! I have lived at such a long time, and I have not yet
People dare to scold me! How can we allow an outsider to interfere in our family's affairs?"
With her shouting like this, the porters finally gained the confidence to bully the children casually.
But if the second aunt made such a fuss, it was Zhang Shuning who was at fault. They still had the courage to "justice", and didn't you see that Xia Zhifeng was already frightened. If you take down this kid, you don't have to worry about Xia Zhifeng not agreeing.
As long as the Xia family accepts the betrothal gift, they can receive the reward.
I have to say, this Second Aunt Han is really an expert at handling this kind of thing, so beautiful!
The porters gathered around and sneered at Zhang Shuning, "Little brother, it's not that we bully the small, it's your words that don't listen! How about you apologize to Second Aunt Han and say that what you just said was bullshit? We
Don’t say anything, you can leave now.”
Zhang Shuning gritted his teeth and said, "I won't leave! You are working for the tiger and forcing girls from good families. Do you really think that the Ming Dynasty's law is just a decoration?"
When the porters heard this, they actually laughed.
"What is the king's law? The parents ordered the matchmaker to say that it is natural for us to come to propose marriage. The girl and the second aunt arranged it, and the deposit was made openly... This is called working for the tiger? No matter how much the king's law controls, it can't control us!
"
"Yes! Boy, get out of the way quickly, or we will really send you to the Yamen!"
Xia Zhifeng's face turned pale with fear. She had never seen such a scene before.
"Zhang Shuning, you, please go quickly! Go home, go home quickly!"
She tried her best to remind Zhang Shuning to go home, hoping to find Xianggong Zhang for help.
But Zhang Shuning didn't want to leave. He was afraid that these people would bully Xia Zhifeng, so he didn't want to leave for a moment!
Is there any way?
Maybe there really is!
Zhang Shuning suddenly reached into his arms and took out a waist card.
"Look out, I am the Qianhu Xunwei in the palace! Don't get out of my way!"
Zhang Shuning finally revealed his identity. Of course, he was the most inconspicuous among the identities. Not only him, but also all the children of meritorious officials had a hereditary identity and could receive salaries.
The so-called "closing a wife and a shadow child" is certainly not an empty talk.
Zhang Ximeng could only control Enyin's scale and reduce Enyin's position... Of course, since Zhang Shuning was named the crown prince, this thousand households no longer exist.
However, Lao Zhu didn't take it back, Zhang Shuning always carried it with him. After all, what happened, a thousand households in the imperial court still have some weight.
As expected, these porters did not dare to step forward.
At this time, the second aunt Han got up and yelled, "Are you all fools? This kid can be an official of the imperial court, and I am the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty! He is pretending to be an official to scare you! Catch him quickly and send him to the government. This is a serious crime.
!Even if you don’t lose your head, you will still be exiled to the army!”
These people regained their courage and sneered: "I almost let you lie to me. How could you, a child, belong to thousands of households in the imperial court? If you dare to lie to me, this is a big crime! Little brat, you are just waiting for bad luck!"
"
They bared their teeth and claws. Not only did they pounce on him, they also had ropes taken from the poles in their hands, and they were about to tie up Zhang Shuning.
This time Zhang Shuning was forced into a corner.
Although Xia Zhifeng is his neighbor, the two families are still dozens of steps away. The most important thing is that his father may not be at home, but his grandparents, and they can't hear him. As for the guards, they will protect the Zhang family, but something happens to the Xia family.
, may not come...
Zhang Shuning's scalp is numb. After all, he is still a child under ten years old!
"You, you are so bold!" Zhang Shuning roared angrily: "My father is Prime Minister Zhang, who of you dares to be so bold!"
As soon as the words came out, the most surprised person was not these people, but Xia Zhifeng behind Zhang Shuning. She looked at Zhang Shuning stupidly, "Are you the master's son?"
