The West Yard has always been relatively deserted. It is close to the Scenic Mountain and also close to the Scenic Yard. It used to be a bit cold in this area, and everyone did not like to live, so there was more free time.
The West Point Yard now lives in Lu Zheng, and the big grandmother lives in Orange Village, and the other places are empty.
The main courtyard of the West Yard, the main hall and side halls in the courtyard were cleaned up today, and the maids and servants of the Zhang family were all crowded into this area.
After the Guanshan Poetry Meeting, the second master will have a big banquet for the guests in the evening. It is said that the county lord will come over. In addition, the great talents Chen Gui and Qin Yue will also attend the banquet, and the most exciting and talkative one is the Slender West Lake. It is said that the oirans on the table will also go to the banquet.
This is a grand occasion that the Zhang family has never had in recent years. Today, there is a Qilan family, and the aura is incredible. If all the four great florists in Yangzhou have all passed the Zhang family, then the Zhang family might be in the limelight tomorrow.
In recent years, the Zhang family has been headed by the uncle Zhang Chengdong. Zhang Chengdong is a staid person and acts low-key. Although the Zhang family has a reputation as the first family in Yangzhou, Zhang Chengdong has never been the limelight.
Now Zhang Chengdong has gone to the capital, and the second master Zhang Chengxi has returned as a butler. The style of the Zhang family has completely changed. The four great oirans gathered in Zhang's family, it's a big pomp and a great spirit!
Hua Hanyun stood in the West Yard, and Liang Shi’s family came over and said: "Mrs. Granny, the West Yard is celebrating a big festival today, and it’s even more lively than the New Year! This was hard to imagine before. Now you take a look at this scene. , The second master is very courageous in doing things."
Hua Hanyun snorted softly, and said, "Sister-in-law of the Liang family, what's the matter? Do you think the match in the West Court is worth the money? Thinking about the good old days? The door is gone. We all have to listen to the second wife. I'm commanded, if you take a look at these things, no one can look at the things I put together! These tables, chairs and several cases are all newly purchased by the East Courtyard, and they are not spent on the money of the inner house!"
Liang Shi's family came over and said, "Mother, you can bear it! The second master is now in charge, and the second wife has given birth to a good son. Brother Hao is the heart of the old lady! The reason for doing so aggressively today is What? Isn't it for Brother Hao?"
Hua Hanyun pursed her lips and said nothing.
She was in a terrible mood. Mrs. Su was getting more and more pressing about the inner house, and she was caught off guard by the affairs of the West Courtyard today.
Madam Su's hand stretched directly to the west courtyard, and her family was rich and wealthy. It was too late for Liang Shi's family to flatter her, and she directly took her into the air.
For all the things in the West Yard, there was no need to withdraw the cards from the inner house. It was arranged by Mrs. Su, many of which were newly purchased.
The Taoism in the purchase of things is very deep. Ms. Su's ladies understand the Taoism in it. Most of the Liang Shi's family benefited from it. This lack of expression is different from the past.
Now that the second master is in charge, Dafang is suppressed everywhere. Today's affairs have left Hua Hanyun very injured. If this continues, Mrs. Su should be robbed of her affairs in the future!
"Liang's sister-in-law, I watched you rush to the old lady's side in a hurry, dare to tell the news! Why? Did you see that Brother Zheng came back?" Hua Hanyun suddenly changed the subject.
Today, she said "a shit" in front of the old lady. After that, she regretted a little bit. As a smart person like the old lady, she might figure out what happened when she turned around.
Brother Hao is now being held by the old lady, and the whole family is holding it. Today Zhang Haoran openly said that he was unhappy looking for Lu Zheng, but the old lady didn't say anything!
After all, Hua Hanyun is the wife of the Zhang family. Even if he is dissatisfied with the second master and the second wife and Zhang Haoran, he must always pay attention to proportions and do not overdo things.
Besides, she is a female generation, so she can only toss in the back house. Really want to talk about scheming, can Madam Su be her opponent?
What makes Madam Su powerful is that on the one hand, she is relying on the second master, and the family's financial power is in the hands of the second master.
In addition, Mrs. Su has a good son. Zhang Haoran is not bad at studying. He is highly valued by teachers and teachers at Guanshan Academy. Looking at Yangzhou, although he cannot compare with the top talents such as Chen Gui and Qin Yue, he is still small and famous. If next year Being able to pass the exam and become a student will have an even better future. This one is also unmatched by Dafang.
Can Zhang Jing and Zhang Haoran compare? Can Hua Hanyun fight the entire second room alone?
"Mother, isn't she back? I looked at Lu Zheng and it wasn't a good sight. Where is the turtle with her head shrunk? I came back in good spirits. I was riding in the carriage driven by the old grandson. I was in the yard just now. The group of Hu Meizi girls made a lot of laughter.
I guess Brother Hao is very good at studying, but I really want to find Lu Zheng's troubles, I'm afraid I can't get a bargain, this kid is very ghostly, and now no one here in the West Courtyard dares to provoke him! "
Hua Hanyun instantly turned countless thoughts in her heart, and said with a smile: "Oh? Is the Liang family's sister-in-law afraid of this kid too?"
Liang Shijia's face flushed with "why", she knew that Hua Hanyun had said this deliberately, but who made Hua Hanyun the master!
Lu Zheng is not only so good that he has been taught by Liang Shi's family, hasn't Hua Hanyun also been taught by him? The second grandmother was so savvy and shrewd, but Lu Zheng used means to make her life uneasy, and was almost divorced by the second master. Who doesn't know about this matter in the whole family? Leaving aside the mistress, Zhang Haoran is the young master of Zhang Jiazheng, but what about that?
Hasn't Zhang Haoran suffered in front of Lu Zheng again and again? Now everyone in the Zhang family says that Lu Zheng can't read books. From the perspective of Liang Shi's family, this is really thankful.
If Lu Zheng is still good at school, Zhang Haoran of the Zhang family will have to be restrained by Lu Zheng in the future. Where can the younger generations of Zhang family have their first days?
Liang Shi, Cui Da and other old people chatted privately and said that the old man was the most accurate to look at people. The old man went to the capital but gave Lu Zheng such a great advantage. The meaning behind it is not so deep!
Hua Hanyun and Liang Shi’s family have their own minds, and Hua Hanyun is looking forward to Zhang Haoran’s trouble with Lu Zheng, she is happy to watch the excitement.
To be honest, she really wanted to entice it in secret, but she was afraid that Lu Zheng would know that she couldn't even eat it when she turned around.
To be honest, Hua Hanyun is really shocked by Lu Zheng now, she really doesn't dare to provoke Lu Zheng easily.
"Let's go, Cuihong, let's sit there with Brother Zheng! Today, our Zhang family has such a big banquet at the gate of his yard. Can he stay at home to relax?"
...
Zhang Haoran was a little airy.
Today's dinner party gathered talented people, and Mr. Zun Nie from Xinhe County visited in person. This really gave the Zhang family a lot of face.
The Zhang family is the first in Yangzhou, and the big family has seen it in the world. It is not unusual for the prefect Dai to come to Zhang family. But this time the situation was different. Master Nie came to the banquet just after the Guanshan Poetry Club was held in Zhang's house, which shows his affirmation of the Poetry Club.
In addition, Lord Nie is a scholar in the Palace Examination, the top tier two, and a talented person who has been in the Hanlin Academy. He is notoriously aloof in the Yangzhou officialdom. It can be said that he can come to Zhang Family and other imperial merchants' homes. .
In addition to Master Nie, there are also great talents such as Chen Gui and Qin Yue. Zhang Haoran was able to drink with them at the same table today and have a discussion together. Once the banquet was over, Zhang Haoran became famous.
In addition, many oirans also gathered for the dinner. The business of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies was originally an elegant talk. Now the Qilan circulated in Yangzhou and Chen Gui, Du Yueniang is Qin Yue's confidante. I don't know how many people have been envied.
Today is also a good opportunity for Zhang Haoran. Among the oirans, Luo Qiaoqiao is the most reckless, and Ding Zi has never heard of a talented person to befriend him. If Zhang Haoran can win one of the two women tonight Heart, this will be another story immediately.
The thoughts in Zhang Haoran's mind were wild and empty, and he was full of longing for today's dinner. He was already a little impatient. He came to the west courtyard early and looked at the busy servant maid, the inner expectation was even more unstoppable.
Liang Shi’s family had just sent away Hua Hanyun, and Zhang Haoran was ushered in. She hurriedly leaned over and said, “Brother Hao is here? Are you going to find the bad luck of Lu Zheng’s killing that day?”
"Uh..." Zhang Haoran was taken aback for a moment, and his originally good mood instantly turned into nothingness. Speaking of Lu Zheng, he felt as uncomfortable as if he swallowed a fly.
He had troubled Lu Zheng more than once, but he never took advantage of it, and every time he was ashamed.
At today's poem meeting, he had already made enough preparations, waiting to see Lu Zheng make a fool of himself, but in the end, Lu Zheng escaped and let him make arrangements.
Now, when the others arrived in the West Courtyard, they really wanted him to go to find Lu Zheng's bad luck, he really didn't have the courage. He has a lot of things to do today, and each of these things is of great significance to him. In case Lu Zheng gives him an extra problem, it is not worth it for him.
But now others are standing at the door of Lu Zheng's house, and Liang Shi's family mentioned this again. Can he persuade him?
"Sister-in-law of the Liang family, for today's dinner, you have to invite Lu Zheng anyway. In any case, he is also the younger aunt arranged to study in our Zhang family.
Today’s dinner, but my scholar from Zhang’s family can’t be absent! If he is ignorant..."
Before Liang Shi's finished his words, he grinned and said, "Brother Hao, don't worry! I have thought about it for you, but the ancestor is going to attend today's dinner! What is the most important thing for the ancestor? The most important thing for the elderly is decency.
Although Lu Zheng belonged to the Lu family, since his grandmother entrusted him to the Zhang family, he would be the same as his brother in the old ancestor's place.
So, Brother Hao, you don't have to worry about this kid playing tricks anymore. When you look back, he dare to violate the words of the ancestor? The sky is big, the earth is big, and it's not bigger than the old ancestors, don't you think Hao? "
Zhang Haoran was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly became clear. He stomped fiercely and said: "Okay, the Liang family's sister-in-law really wakes up the person in her dream with a single word. How can I think of it? As long as Lu Zheng doesn't do that unfaithful He didn’t dare to disobey his grandmother!"
