Chapter 145 Dialogue Between Grandparents and Grandchildren
When Zhang Manyun was sure that the question she had doubted had the answer, her heartbeat was so frightened that it felt like it was about to jump out of her throat. Not only did she not dare to speak out, she was also careful not to let others notice that she was strange.
In those days, she didn't dare to stay in the same room with Lin Zhu for too long, for fear that her eyes would reveal her emotions and let her notice. Of course, she didn't dare to let Zhang Manqing know, let alone the maids.
"Grandpa," Zhang Manyun came to Dr. Zhang's room alone. "My granddaughter has something to tell you."
"Really?" Old Doctor Zhang raised his head from the book, "Come, sit here and talk." He pointed to a chair not far from him. "Are you still used to living in this country place?" Old Doctor Zhang was gentle.
looked at her and asked.
"Well, it's all good. Although compared with home, it's a bit crude here, but when you experience it carefully, it has a different flavor." Zhang Manyun nodded slowly. "Grandpa, my granddaughter has something to say, should I say it or not?" he said.
When she said this, her face was full of seriousness.
"If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter." Dr. Zhang also faced her head-on, indicating that she could speak.
"Grandpa, does Sister Zhu have the special white rice that is popular in the capital?" Zhang Manyun finally expressed the question in his heart. "Why do you ask this?" Old Doctor Zhang's expression did not change.
"The white rice I ate at Grandpa's place last time was very delicious, and it tasted exactly the same as Sister Zhu's. Although granddaughter, I don't know how it tastes in the palace, but I have never tasted such delicious food.
I heard that the rice at Grandpa's place was sent by Sister Zhu, so I came up with this idea." Zhang Manyun finally said what she said. She secretly raised her eyes to look at Dr. Zhang, and saw him looking thoughtfully.
He kept to himself and said nothing.
After a while, Dr. Zhang nodded, "Well, you guessed it right." He moved his beard and said, "Not only the special white rice, but also the special watermelon, I think you have guessed it too.
"Looking at Zhang Manyun, he nodded. Old doctor Zhang also nodded and said, "Well, that's good. You are quite able to keep your composure. This is probably why you rarely meet Zhu Yatou these days."
"Yes, my granddaughter felt that Sister Zhu did not want people to know these things. My granddaughter was very shocked, so she was afraid of being discovered by her, so she hid from her for a while." Zhang Manyun lowered his head and said.
"Haha, your father and the others don't know about this, so don't tell them, so as not to cause trouble." After hearing this, Zhang Manyun nodded, "Yes. My granddaughter respects grandpa's instructions."
"Actually, it won't take long. Even if you say it next year, no one will believe it." Old Doctor Zhang stroked his beard and said with a smile. Looking at Zhang Manyun's doubtful eyes, Old Doctor Zhang continued, "This kind of thing is in Zhu Yatou."
It was too dangerous and she couldn't keep it, so she thought of a way. Although she might make a lot less money, at least she didn't have to worry about being discovered."
"Did she find a backer?" Zhang Manyun immediately thought of this. Apart from this, there was no other way to make money without danger.
"Well, if Qing Ya is half as smart as you, I won't have to worry about her." Old Doctor Zhang smiled happily and nodded. His granddaughter is indeed good. Not only is she dignified, but she also has a gentle personality. Most importantly,
He is very smart and has a long-term vision, so he doesn't need to worry at all.
"Grandpa, the second sister is just a little childish." Zhang Manyun was still very protective of his sister in front of Dr. Zhang. "Childish? Children younger than her don't have such childishness." Dr. Zhang said dissatisfied.
, compared with Lin Zhu, his own
These two granddaughters are quite different, but after all, their living environments are different, so Dr. Zhang does not force them to be as precocious as Lin Zhu at such a young age. But remembering the way Zhang Manqing has been tit-for-tat with Dong Yuzhen since she arrived, Zhang
The old doctor has a headache.
"Grandpa, some misunderstandings between girls are inevitable." Zhang Manyun knew what the old doctor Zhang was referring to, and she seemed to have a vague idea of why her sister was so at odds with Dong Yuzhen recently.
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Tell me." Old Doctor Zhang was a little curious. The two had only met for a few days, so how could there be a misunderstanding?
"This..." After all, it was just a guess. Zhang Manyun did not dare to say it easily, and it was also related to Zhang Manqing's reputation. Although grandpa would not tell it, what would he do if Zhang Manqing was angry after he knew it? So Zhang Manyun hesitated.
"If there's anything you can't say, just say it." Old Doctor Zhang urged. He thought it was just a matter of girls being petty.
"Second sister, she," Zhang Manyun thought for a while and decided to speak out, leaving it to Dr. Zhang to resolve the matter. "She seems to admire the son who is often in charge of things, and Miss Dong is very familiar with him, so
I'm a little unhappy." After she finished speaking, she carefully looked at Dr. Zhang's reaction.
Dr. Zhang was frightened by the sudden news. He never thought that his second granddaughter, who had high eyesight, would fall in love with Chang Tianlei, who was still dressed as a servant. If Chang Tianlei is now known as General Chang
I can still understand that her grandson appears and is liked by her, but now I really can’t figure it out.
"Grandpa, the second sister is just curious for a moment, and I am just making random guesses. Please don't blame her." Old doctor Zhang's silence made Zhang Manyun panic. She was afraid that old doctor Zhang would be angry and call Zhang Manqing to scold her again.
broken.
"It's okay," Old Doctor Zhang waved his hand. "Is this what she told you?"
"No, it's just that my granddaughter felt that the second sister was a little strange these days, and she asked Shucui privately if anything happened that I didn't know about. Shucui said that the night when the second sister first came, she couldn't sleep because she didn't know the bed, so she went out.
I bumped into that Chang Tianlei when I was walking, and I think I bumped into him a few more times after that." Zhang Manyun's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and he peeked at Dr. Zhang's face from time to time.
"Well, I know about this. Don't make it public for now. If Qing Yatou does too much, just tell her, and let the rest take its course." Old Doctor Zhang thought for a while before saying, to be honest, if
Zhang Manqing and Chang Tianlei can really see eye to eye, and he is happy to see it happen, because after this period of observation, he found that Chang Tianlei is no longer the
He is an academically wealthy kid. He not only practices martial arts with Chang Shi, but also studies with Feng Yuanbo. This change in him must be related to the period when he disappeared, but no matter what the reason is, he is still moving forward.
Good development is one of the reasons why Dr. Zhang is relieved, but he is afraid that Chang Tianlei does not have such thoughts.
It was strange for Zhang Manyun to see his grandfather reacting so calmly. Shouldn't he be persuading his second sister?
"Do you know who this Chang Tianlei is?" Old Doctor Zhang wanted to let her know, "What is the most powerful thing that has happened in the capital recently?"
"Of course it's about the Emperor reversing the case for General Chang." After Zhang Manyun answered, he suddenly thought, 'Chang Tianlei's surname is Chang?' "Grandpa, is this Chang Tianlei..." He looked at the old doctor Zhang and nodded. "Oh my god.
"Hey, Sister Zhu..." Zhang Manyun pointed to Lin Zhu's room. "Yeah." Old doctor Zhang nodded.
This news is also very shocking. Zhang Manyun wrung his hands together nervously. If this is really the case, if the case in Beijing is successfully reversed, then...
"Grandpa, can't it be enough for Sister Zhu to be protected by the General's Mansion?" In the end, she only asked this question.
"I can't figure out what's going on in the General's Mansion for a while, so Chang Tianlei's identity must not be revealed. You have to remember this clearly, and don't tell anyone, not even your father or your mother." Old Doctor Zhang ordered.
"Besides, Zhu Yatou doesn't want people to think that she is someone who is trying to repay a favor, so the General's Mansion can't borrow the power for a while."
At this point, Zhang Manyun already understood that Lin Zhu was more than just a country orphan. She already knew how extraordinary she was from the fact that she could grow special watermelons and special white rice. Now she also knew that she was the only one who took in General Chang.
The grandson of Empress Lan is the only nephew, so her future will definitely be rich or noble, maybe even higher than her status.
"Grandpa, if that's the case, then Sister Zhu and Chang Tianlei won't..." What Zhang Manyun wants to ask is, won't Lin Zhu marry Chang Tianlei? Such a good opportunity.
"No." Old Doctor Zhang shook his head, "Don't say that Zhu Yatou has no such intention at all, even Chang Tianlei only regards her as a sister. Zhu Yatou has a loose mind, and she can't stand the high-ranking family the most.
Life in the compound, and Chang Tianlei is destined to support the general's mansion, he needs someone of equal status to support him in the back house. Concubine Lan will not let him marry a woman without a father and mother.
A wife."
Zhang Manyun was convinced by Dr. Zhang's analysis. She knew a lot of young ladies in the capital, and she also heard a lot about the rules of marrying wives and daughters in various families. The first one was that both parents must be present. Without parents or
There is only one of them, most of them become someone else's concubine. But if someone like Lin Zhu becomes a concubine? Don't even think about it.
"Did Sister Zhu's parents die?" She was also curious about why Lin Zhu only lived here with one younger brother. They were both still very young, weren't they?
"No one knows this. I heard that she arrived here just after she was one month old and has never seen her parents. As for Fu Dou'er, she picked it up behind the house. She is an orphan like her." Old Doctor Zhang said.
She explained.
"This is unbelievable." Zhang Manyun opened her mouth in surprise. She never would have thought that Lin Zhu had such a rough life experience. "No wonder she can do anything at such a young age."
"Your father and your second uncle thought that Zhu Yatou would cling to our family, but they didn't know that our family might even benefit from her in the future." Old Doctor Zhang said with emotion.
Zhang Manyun thought about it for a while. When she came here with her grandfather, her father also told her that if her grandfather wanted to take Lin Zhu back, she should persuade her. This time she finally understood that even if her family invited her to go, she would not do it.
