There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 1151

[Chapter 1150, Redemption 1]

Qingshi County.

Zhang Mansion.

As the richest household in the county, the courtyard of the Zhang Mansion was built extraordinarily large, occupying half a street, and it was located in the best part of the county.

This family is the envy of everyone in Qingshi County, not only because of the richness of the Zhang family, but also because the Zhang family has a big backer behind them, and even the county magistrate dare not provoke them.

More than ten years ago, the Zhang family was far less famous in Qingshi County than it is now. At most, it was a family of second- and third-rate merchants.

However, since Mr. Zhang remarried, the Zhang family has risen at a speed that everyone can’t stop staring at. In just a few short years, the family’s business has not only spread all over Qingshi County, but also the prefectural and provincial capitals. family.

There are rumors that Mr. Zhang’s continuation wife is a girl from a noble family in the capital, and the relationship behind it is very strong.

Everyone has different opinions on this. . .

Those who believed felt that this must be true, otherwise, how could the Zhang family get up so quickly.

The skeptical side thought that how could a girl from a noble family fall in love with Mr. Zhang, who was born in a merchant, and was still his stepmother.

What is puzzling is that the Zhang family has never responded positively to this controversy.

Champs Pavilion.

Among the inner courtyards of the Zhang Mansion, the most exquisite courtyards are among the top three.

The sky was getting brighter, and there was a noise from the upper room.

“Girl, let’s sleep a little longer. It’s winter and the temperature in the morning is very low, so it’s okay to get up late.” The

eldest maid Caiwei whispered to the slender figure in the embroidered tent.

Unfortunately, Qianying didn’t stop getting up.

Seeing this, Caiwei was a little helpless, and hurriedly stepped forward to lift up the embroidered curtain.

Soon, a beautiful girl in her fourteenth year sat up with her clothes on.

Worried that her girl would be cold, Caiwei quickly helped her dress.

After getting dressed, the girl sat down in front of the dressing table.

Caiwei first put a hand warmer in the girl’s hand, and then picked up a comb to help her comb her hair.

Zhang Huahan looked through the mirror and looked at Caiwei who served him wholeheartedly.

She knew that the family has been busy with the elder sister’s marriage recently, and because of the rush of time, many people in the courtyard were dispatched to help.

Although Caiwei is her eldest maid, she will not be transferred, but there are fewer maids in the courtyard, so she has more things to deal with, and if there are too many things, she will inevitably be a little negligent, so she said: “Today is Laba. ”

Hearing this, Caiwei’s complexion changed immediately, and she quickly knelt down to plead guilty: “Is it the servant’s fault? I forgot that the girl is going to greet the eldest lady today, and ask the girl to punish her.”

Zhang Huahan didn’t blame her: “Get up, I know you This time is quite busy, hurry up and comb your hair, don’t waste the time.”

Caiwei got up quickly and continued to comb Zhang Huahan’s hair, during which time, her eyes glanced at the girl’s indifferent face that had never changed.

Thinking of the eldest lady, Caiwei felt wronged for her own girl.

The eldest lady has a weird temper, she never walks around in front of people, and never sees anyone, she is very indifferent to everyone, including the eldest master and the girl, her own daughter.

When the girl was three years old, she came to serve her.

Now the girl will reach the age of Ji in one year, but the eldest lady has never set foot in the Xiangxie Pavilion, let alone raising the girl, her indifference is chilling.

The girl in her family is sincere and filial, after being rejected many times to coax her away, she still insists on going to pay her respects to the eldest lady on the first and fifteenth day of each month, plus every year and festival.

Even though the eldest lady has never seen the girl once, the girl still passed by like a day for several years.

She couldn’t figure it out, how could there be such a cruel mother in this world?

After dressing and grooming, Zhang Huahan simply ate some pastries, put on his cloak and went out.

The first one to go was Mrs. Zhang’s yard.

When Zhang Huahan arrived, Mrs. Zhang had just woken up.

Seeing that Zhang Huahan came so early, the old lady Zhang smiled and asked the servant girl to pour her a cup of hot tea: “It’s hard for you to be so filial, and the cold day came so early, but, you are a delicate little girl after all. The most important thing is that you can come later in the future.” The corners of

Zhang Huahan’s mouth rose slightly, and the smile on his face was neither too much nor too little: “Thank you grandma for your compassion.”

At this moment, laughter came from outside the door, followed by , the eldest girl of the Zhang family walked in with a smile, saw Zhang Huahan in the room, and said with a smile: “I thought I came early enough, but I didn’t expect the fifth sister to be earlier than me.”

Seeing the eldest granddaughter, Zhang Huahan The smile on the old lady’s face was much deeper, and she blamed: “You girl, you are not too tired these days, why don’t you sleep a little longer?”

Miss Zhang smiled and snuggled up to the old lady Zhang: “Granddaughter wants to come to eat with grandma Well.” The

old lady Zhang scolded with a smile: “I think you want to come here to eat delicious food from me.” As she spoke, she looked at Zhang Huahan with a smile, and said casually, “Fifth girl, you can stay with me for breakfast later Let’s go.”

Zhang Huahan was not very happy about this, and she was going to greet her mother, but when she was thinking about how to refuse, the door curtain was lifted again.

“Grandmother is eccentric, and only the elder sister and fifth younger sister are left for breakfast, and we also want to.”

This time, there were more girls who came in, and they were the prostitutes and concubines of the second and third wards.

Mrs. Zhang likes to be lively. When she saw her granddaughters coming, she narrowed her eyes with a smile,

chatting and laughing with all the granddaughters. Looking at the happy scene in front of her, Zhang Huahan always felt excluded. , she was indeed the one who was ostracized.

Whether it is her grandmother or her father, they have always been more than polite to her, but not close enough.

As for the rest of the Zhang family, let alone.

“Grandmother, I heard that uncle came back from the provincial capital last night?” the second girl in the second room asked coquettishly, putting her arm around the old lady Zhang.

Hearing this, Zhang Huahan was surprised.

Dad came back last night?

This time, my father went out mainly to buy a dowry for the eldest sister, and it took more than two months after he went out.

Zhang Huahan felt a little bit bitter, her daughter knew about it later than her cousins when her father went home.

It is impossible to say that it is not uncomfortable.

It can also be seen from this matter that her position in the Zhang family is awkward. Although she is the eldest son of the big house, she is not loved by her biological parents.

Therefore, she is often the last to know about Zhang family’s big and small matters.

“I said why all of you came so early today, so you are thinking about the gift brought back by your uncle?”

Mrs. Zhang nodded with a smile on Miss Zhang’s head: “Eat first, and then I will give you a meal after dinner.” You guys.”

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was about to lead the crowd to the dining room, Zhang Huahan stood up quickly: “Grandmother forgives her, but granddaughter won’t stay to eat. Today is Laba, so I have to go to pay my mother’s peace.”

As soon as he said this, The people who were chatting and laughing a moment ago suddenly fell silent.

The current Mrs. Zhang’s family is a bit of a taboo in the Zhang family. Everyone will not mention her if they can, and almost no one will take the initiative to mention her.

The old lady Zhang came to her senses first, and nodded with a smile: “I’ve been too busy these days, look at me, I forgot about Laba today, go quickly, don’t keep your mother waiting.”

Zhang Huahan didn’t say anything, it was true Forget it, or deliberately not to mention this, after so many years, she still knows something in her heart, and after blessing her body, she turned around and left.

While standing outside the door fastening his cloak, Zhang Huahan heard disdainful voices coming from the room.

“The eldest lady has always been reluctant to see Fifth Sister. I really don’t know why Fifth Sister goes to pay her respects every time?

” A gift?”

Afterwards, the girls of the Zhang family begged the old lady Zhang not to wait for Zhang Huahan’s words.

Unfortunately, they were all rejected by Mrs. Zhang.

With a sneer embedded in the corner of Zhang Huahan’s mouth, he stepped out of the yard.

The family is really interesting. No matter what good things are on the surface, she will be the first to pick them. Even the eldest brother and sister have to take a step back.

It seems that she is valuing her, but in fact, it gives her the illusion of being a mascot, as if her existence is not a relative to the Zhang family, but just a kind of proof.

Prove what?

It proves that the Zhang family and the Yan family do have an in-law relationship!

The Yan family

actually didn’t know much about her mother’s natal family and her maternal grandfather’s family. Her mother almost never saw her, but her father met several times a month, but he never mentioned the Yan family to her.

The Yan family she knew was all spliced up from other people’s gossip.

She has too few sources of information, only knowing that the lintel of the Yan family is much higher than that of the Zhang family, even though the Zhang family is already the richest family in Qingshi County, it cannot be compared to the Yan family.

The Yan family is so prominent, why did the mother marry the father as the second wife?

Thinking of his mother’s indifference to him from birth to now, Zhang Huahan vaguely understands that his mother must not be willing to marry his father.

Otherwise, if the two really liked each other, they wouldn’t treat her like this.

Just when Zhang Huahan was thinking about this, Wutong Courtyard arrived.

Looking at the Indus Courtyard, which was even more magnificent and exquisite than his grandmother’s courtyard, Zhang Huahan took a deep breath and walked in quickly.

“Aunt Anran, I’m here to greet my mother!”

Seeing Zhang Huahan who came to greet her again, Anran sighed in her heart, what a good child, it’s a pity that

Anran calmed down and invited Zhang Huahan into the room with a smile.

Of course, she was only asked to sit in the living room and have tea and snacks. As for the inner room where the master lives, unless the master speaks, otherwise, even if she wants to help Zhang Huahan, she has no ability.

Zhang Huahan ate dim sum silently as usual, even though she didn’t really want to eat it, but in order to be able to sit longer, she ate the whole plate of dim sum in a daze.

Finally, even the tea was finished, looking at the still quiet inner room, Zhang Huahan couldn’t hide the sadness in his eyes.

Even though she pretended to be indifferent on weekdays, deep down in her heart she still longed for her mother’s attention.

It’s a pity that my mother really seems to hate her, so much that she doesn’t even want to see her.

“Aunt Anran, I’m leaving first, and I’ll come back next time to pay my respects to mother.”

Anran moved her lips, wanting to say something, but in the end she turned into a heart full of helplessness, and could only smile and nod to Zhang Huahan.

Zhang Huahan glanced at the inner room before getting up and leaving.

Out of the courtyard, Caiwei saw Zhang Huahan looked lonely, hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up her courage and said: “Girl, if you feel sad, why don’t you come next time?”

Zhang Huahan smiled: “Why don’t you come? Although my mother didn’t see me, did she let me in? Now Aunt An Ran has prepared refreshments for me, which is very good.”

You know, my mother didn’t even let her in the house before.

Does she complain about her biological mother’s indifference?

Naturally it is resentment.

Before she was eight years old, she had a very bad life. Her sisters bullied her, and the servants ignored her. At that time, she was everyone’s punching bag in the Zhang family. Anyone who was unhappy could blame her.

She felt wronged, and ran to find her mother crying, but her mother’s attitude towards her at that time was much worse than now. Not only did she not see her, but she was also driven out of the yard.

At that time, she hated her motherhood more than those who bullied her.

However, in the summer when she was eight years old, her elder sisters caused her to fall into the water and almost drowned. At that time, her mother lost her temper.

Up to now, the servants still occasionally mention that the mother was furious that time.

She was sick, so I don’t remember very clearly, but I only remember that my grandmother took her to her yard to take care of her for more than a month.

Once, she fell asleep in her grandmother’s inner room, and seemed to hear the quarrel between her grandmother and mother in a trance.

The grandmother is the ancestor of the Zhang family, and no one is allowed to disobey her, and everyone must flatter her, but that time, she found that in front of her mother, her grandmother was actually the weak one.

That time, it was my mother who stood up for her, and after that time, no one in the entire Zhang family dared to bully her anymore, at least apparently not.

Perhaps compared with other mothers, the mother is not like a mother at all, but in this Zhang family, she is the only one who stands up to protect her.

It was her who protected her, otherwise, she wouldn’t have lived such a peaceful life.

At the same time, Wutongyuan went to the room.

An Ran carried hot water into the inner room, saw Yan Yile standing in front of the window and looking at the courtyard door, hesitated for a moment, and walked over: “Master, Miss Wu has admired you for so many years, you should also see it.” Arrived .”

“My servant knows that you hate Zhang Wan, but the fifth girl is innocent, she is your own daughter, mother and daughter are connected, do you really want to ignore her for the rest of your life?”

Yan Yile did not respond, Just when An Ran lowered her head helplessly, she said: “Is she going to be old next year?”

An Ran knew that Yan Yile was talking about Zhang Huahan, so she nodded quickly: “Yes, the fifth girl will be a big girl next year, so we can say we’re kissing each other.”

Yan Yile’s dull face finally showed some fluctuations: “Time flies so fast “As he spoke, he was silent for a long time, “The next time she comes to pay her respects, let Jing Jing teach her etiquette.”

“The Zhang family.”

Hatred and contempt flashed across Yan Yile’s face: “The Zhang family is after all No matter how much money they have, they are nouveau riche. In terms of etiquette and rules, don’t count on them.”

Dear readers, I wish you all a happy new year and auspicious year of the tiger. In the new year, everything goes well and gets better and better!
