New widow

Mother Zhang really didn't know what to say. After a while, Mother Zhang said, "Congratulations. Who knows if people coming to our house have something serious to do? It's not what you think."

Everyone talked for a while and then dispersed, but Zhang's mother made up her mind to ask Zhang Qing properly when she came back. Zhang Qing poured the tea for Song Zhen and said to Song Zhen: "The tea here is not bad."

"Who is drinking tea at this moment?" Song Zhen only took a sip and put down the teacup, and said eagerly to Zhang Qing: "Do you know about the postings on the streets during this period?" Zhang Qing naturally knew that, after all, this Zhang Qing wrote the post himself, and then went to visit the people Su Du mentioned. After discussing with them, he polished it. However, Zhang Qing naturally couldn't admit it at this time. Zhang Qing only nodded: "I Of course I know."

"This post has given Aunt Kuang a chance. Just now, Mrs. Zhou came to visit Aunt Five. She said that Mr. Zhou wanted to jointly submit a memorial and argue with others. So, can you find a few people to join us? Upload the memorial?" Song Zhen's eyes sparkled. Zhang Qing looked at Song Zhen and said slowly: "Upload the memorial, you must be an official of fifth rank or above, or there are extremely important matters, you can jump over the rank to submit the memorial."

Before Zhang Qing was dismissed, he was only in the seventh rank. Song Zhen couldn't help but let out a sigh, and then Zhang Qing said softly: "But although I can't report this matter, I can still find someone to report it with me."

"Sure enough, you also want to save Aunt Kuang." Song Zhen suddenly became happy. These beautiful eyes made Zhang Qing's heart soften. Zhang Qing had to control himself so that he could not touch Song Zhen's face, but lower his head. Drinking tea.

"If Aunt Kuang can come out, we will go back to that small courtyard together. I don't want any glory or wealth at all." Song Zhen told the truth. For Song Zhen, prosperity and wealth are just like floating clouds, even a kind of constraint. Zhang Qing looked into Song Zhen's eyes and wanted to blurt out, "I'll go back with you then", but Zhang Qing didn't say it and just smiled: "Yes, you were very happy at that time."

"I think you were very happy at that time." Song Zhen said with a smile. Zhang Qing thought about what happened after he returned to Beijing. He was indeed very happy when he returned home, but what followed was... For other things, it seems that when you are outside, you don’t have to take care of the family affairs. You just need to be an official. But when you return home, you have to take care of the family affairs. You have to be a good son to your parents. You have to serve your father. Mom is looking for a good daughter-in-law.

Thinking of finding a good daughter-in-law for her parents, Zhang Qing was a little sad, but the sadness disappeared instantly. In this world, people always have to bear many things, and many things cannot be avoided.

Zhang Qing sent Song Zhen away. When he returned home, Zhang's mother had been waiting for him for a long time: "That girl, she treats you..."

"Mom, I am the rich daughter of the Duke's mansion. She came to see me because she has something to do. There is nothing else to do." Zhang Qing directly interrupted Zhang Mu, who looked a little disappointed: " It turned out to be just that.”

"Mom, what do you usually think about?" Zhang Qing asked, and Zhang's mother looked at her son: "I'm just thinking that you should get married. If so," Zhang's mother shook her head: "Don't think about it. , that is the daughter of the Duke of Guo. Before our family became prosperous, it would be a high achievement to marry the daughter of their housekeeper. How could we dare to think of the daughter of the Duke of Guo?"

Yes, it turned out that the Zhang family would be willing to marry the steward of the Duke's Mansion. Zhang Qing thought of all the past events and couldn't help but smile: "This person is obviously still the same person, why has he changed?"

"What did you say is unchanged?" Zhang's mother didn't hear clearly. Seeing her son asking, Zhang Qing smiled: "I didn't say anything. Mom, please rest first. I'm going to do my own business. "

Zhang's mother only saw Zhang Qing writing in the house these days. She thought her son was writing arguments for reinstatement, so she did not stop her son. She just looked at his back and worried about when the marriage would be held. It can be settled and the couple won't have to worry.

Suqiao, who was in prison, naturally didn't know what was going on outside. Someone brought food to her every day. When Suqiao had nothing to do after eating, she would practice calligraphy there. The days passed unknowingly. He happened to hear the cell door being opened, and when he looked up, he saw Magistrate Shuntian standing there.

"Are you here to take the life of a civilian girl?" Suqiao did not stand up, but asked calmly. She was so calm that the prefect Shuntian frowned, and then the prefect Shuntian smiled: "You... You are really different from others, please get up, there is a noble person who wants to see you."

Noble person? Suqiao frowned, but she didn't ask what kind of official he was. The prefect of Shuntian was the first among the prefects in the world, ranking in the third rank. In this way, officials who could grant three generations of honors would have a higher official position and status than Shuntian. The prefect is even higher, and can even decide Su Qiao's life or death.

What kind of noble person is he? Suqiao was taken to wash up first. While she was washing up, Suqiao was thinking about this. If it were the emperor, this would be impossible, but if it were a concubine in the palace, it would be ridiculous. How could the concubine come to see her? What kind of person is he?

Suqiao freshened up, changed into plain clothes, and was taken to a courtyard. The people guarding outside the courtyard, Suqiao recognized them as eunuchs at a glance. In this way, they were really people from the palace, but the palace could Who is called a noble person?

Magistrate Shuntian led Suqiao into the courtyard. There were not many people serving in the courtyard. Only two people dressed as palace maids stood in front of the house. Seeing Magistrate Shuntian coming, the two palace ladies raised the curtain: "Auntie, people are here."

"Come in." A voice came from inside the house. Su Qiao heard it, like the voice of an old woman. The prefect of Shuntian only saluted at the door: "Madam, I am waiting here."

lady? In this case, the visitor must be a female official in the palace. Female officials in the palace also have the title of wife. Suqiao has walked into the house. The decoration in the house is simple. An old woman is sitting on it, looking at Suqiao. Suqiao walks slowly. Step forward: "Greetings, madam."

"Are you that bold little woman?" The woman did not let Suqiao get excited, but asked directly. Suqiao looked up at her: "May I ask, madam, what is boldness?"

The woman was asked, and then she shook her head: "Look, you dare to ask me like this, how can you not be bold?"

"Then it seems to me, Madam, that I am being bold by asking Madam like this?" Su Qiao's words made the woman look at her, and then she smiled: "No one has asked me like this for many years. Since you are so bold , then do you know what will happen if you offend me?"
