Master Zhang fell into deep thought when he heard Zhang Jingyi's words. He looked at his son and didn't know how to speak for a moment.
It's not that he doesn't trust his son, he doesn't trust people's hearts.
No one in this world can withstand the temptation year after year, especially if he is surrounded by a group of fancy Tai Sui. Money is alluring and prosperity is confusing to people. Even if he disdains the smell of money, if those Tai Sui want to drag him into trouble, they have other ways. Dirty him.
"Jingyi, it's not that I don't believe you, it's not that I don't believe in the Second Prince and his gang."
Master Zhang sighed in a deep voice, "Your sister is engaged to the third prince. Even though the third prince has a leg problem and the second prince doesn't take him seriously now, the second prince is so narrow-minded that he allows those people to be with you." , definitely not a good thing.”
"You think you are toying with them in the applause. How could you know that it is not the second prince who is toying with you? The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind you. How do you know that you must be the oriole?"
Zhang Jingyi said, "I know he is not well-intentioned, and he also knows that I approached this group of people on purpose. Since both parties are playing their cards right, if I back down, wouldn't I be telling him a joke?"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Jingxuan said, "Dad, what's the use of the second prince being smart? His bunch of drunken relatives are not as smart as him. Our Jingyi has been a slippery wolf since she was a child. How can we ask him to scheme?" ?”
"Even if he is plotted, there are still brothers like dad and me. He is still young, so he should go out and practice, lest things go smoothly, and he will suffer losses when he becomes an official in the future. That will be a big disaster."
Mr. Zhang snorted with a straight face, "You have already said everything, what else can I say?"
Zhang Jing laughed, "Then can my little brother and I get up?"
Master Zhang snorted and looked away impatiently.
Seeing this, Zhang Jingxuan and Zhang Jingyi stood up numbly.
The noise in the hall finally stopped, and the servant of the Zhang family had the courage to step forward and whispered, "Master, there is someone outside who wants to see the eldest lady. They have been waiting for a long time."
Master Zhang thought it was the Third Prince's person and immediately said, "Get someone in!"
The boy immediately obeyed, but unexpectedly, someone came in who Master Zhang had never seen before.
Master Yan did not expect to bump into everyone in the Zhang family, so he quickly knelt down and saluted, "I have taken the liberty to come here and disturb you, please forgive me."
Master Zhang looked suspicious, "Who are you?"
Mrs. Zhang met Master Yan and explained, "This is the person close to the eldest lady of the Yu family."
Mr. Zhang didn't turn around for a moment, "Where did the eldest lady of the Yu family come from?"
Zhang Jingxuan coughed twice and reminded in a low voice, "Mrs. Gu of the Gu family."
Master Zhang understood, and then said, "Gu Qiheng's matter is not over yet. I think the emperor wants to delay it."
Zhang Suying became anxious when she heard this, "Everyone is shouting and beating Gu Qiheng, but the emperor still doesn't deal with it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Zhang glanced away, and Zhang Suying immediately shut up.
"Is it a private matter for Miss Yu to find my younger sister?"
Zhang Jingxuan looked at Zhang Suying, "Why don't you take this strong man with you and go out to talk?"
Hearing this, Zhang Suying immediately nodded and cast a grateful look at her brother.
Zhang Jingxuan smiled and didn't take it seriously.
After Zhang Suying left, Mr. Zhang looked at his eldest son with an unhappy expression, "What kind of riddles are you brothers and sisters playing?"
Zhang Jingxuan said with a smile, "There is no riddle. You also know that if Miss Yu hadn't reminded her kindly, the younger sister might have fallen into the Ding family's den of tigers and wolves. The younger sister was grateful to Miss Yu, so she got close to Miss Yu. "
Master Zhang nodded, and then asked, "So, you also intended to help her yesterday?"
Zhang Jingxuan nodded, "That's right. Return a favor in return. My father taught me this. My son dare not forget it!"
Master Zhang looked at Zhang Jingxuan and snorted heavily.
"You are really a great son of your father. Don't think that you are planning something. Your father doesn't know. Remember, your father is always your father!"
After Master Zhang finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her two sons with complicated eyes, and then followed Master Zhang's footsteps.
Seeing this, Zhang Jingyi moved closer to Zhang Jingxuan and asked in a low voice, "Brother, why did I feel a sour smell when dad left?"
Zhang Jingxuan looked at him, "Would you like to hear it?"
Zhang Jingyi met her eldest brother's eyes and whispered, "Dad feels that we didn't tell him something, and that we are no longer his considerate and good sons."
Hearing this, Zhang Jing preached, "Dad didn't tell us anything."
"What's going on?" Zhang Jingyi asked curiously.
"You're not a court official, why are you asking so much?"
Zhang Jingxuan didn't say anything, and even hit Zhang Jingyi's head hard.
Zhang Jingyi looked indignant, "When I get old, I will definitely become an official. Let's see what else you say."
Zhang Jingxuan walked towards the backyard, "Then we'll wait until you're done with it."
Zhang Jingyi followed angrily, and not far away, she saw Zhang Suying talking to Zhang Jingxuan.
Zhang Jingyi walked over and said bitterly, "What are you talking about? And you're hiding it from me? What are you saying that my little sister can hear but I can't?"
The last sentence was obviously questioning Zhang Jingxuan.
Zhang Jing preached, "I'm sorry for you, little sister, and said that you hung out with those young men because of her."
Zhang Jingyi said, "Brothers and sisters, let's not talk about this. Besides, even if you don't have this problem, I still want to touch those people behind the second prince. These young masters, before they become a big disaster, I can get rid of one by one." .”
Zhang Suying still said with a guilty look on her face, "Second brother, it's my fault that caused you to kneel down. Does your knee hurt? I have ointment there, can I rub it for you?"
"I've only been kneeling for a long time. There are no injuries on my legs. Where should I wipe them?"
Zhang Jingxuan joked with a smile, and Zhang Jingyi echoed, saying that nothing happened at all.
"By the way, what does the eldest lady of the Yu family want from you?"
Zhang Jingxuan changed the topic directly, preventing Zhang Suying from getting entangled in this matter.
Zhang Suying said truthfully, "Sister Yu asked me about hoarding herbs. She wanted the exact number."
Zhang Jingxuan asked, "Have you never given it before?"
Zhang Suying nodded, "I gave it, but Sister Yu has asked for it very frequently these days, and she always asks for it accurately."
Zhang Jingxuan sighed, "We can't hide the snow disaster, the news is coming to Beijing."
Zhang Suying said, "I know this, what does this have to do with Sister Yu?"
Zhang Jingyi explained, “After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic!”,
Zhang Suying's face changed slightly, "But Sister Yu... she stocked up on herbs before the snowstorm, and we did it a little later."
Zhang Jingyi looked at her eldest brother, Zhang Jingxuan said in a deep voice, "Don't ask, the prince knows about this, there must be a reason why he didn't tell."
Zhang Suying and Zhang Jingyi looked at each other, but neither brother nor sister spoke.
"Brother..." Zhang Suying called weakly.
Zhang Jingxuan asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Suying said coquettishly, "Sister Yu seems to know a lot of things, and some of them were not revealed to her by us, and the county prince didn't seem to have said anything."
