Chapter 578: My sister has it, and I want it too!
After Zhang Haohao chatted with several women, he already knew that the bloody love story in Tokyo was actually true. Zhao Pan'er turned out to be a lowly girl named Chongliang. She had been running a tea shop business in Qiantang ever since she became a Chongliang, but unexpectedly met two men.
One is Ouyang Xu, and the other is Zhao Paner's husband Wang Yue. Zhao Paner made the wrong choice at the time. Although he corrected it in time, he still spent three years wrongly.
If it weren't for Wang Shaoqing's infatuation, Zhao Paner's situation might not be so good. After all, an abandoned woman would never be able to be a serious housewife in Qiantang. As for coming to Tokyo, she is a helpless woman. , it will only be worse, worse than a humble status.
Things are afraid of comparison. In contrast, after Wang Shaoqing married Zhao Paner, he immediately deregistered his sister-in-law Song Yinzhang. This also shows one thing. If it were Zhao Pan'er, Wang Yue would still help him deregister.
But as for herself, Zhang Haohao thought that after so many years together, Chi Pan seemed to have forgotten to deregister her. Either she was too willing to do so, or Chi Pan didn't help, or Chi Pan simply didn't care. , and never thought of marrying her.
Once this thought arises, it will ferment uncontrollably, not to mention that Zhang Haohao has doubts about Chibian's thoughts.
Because of this, Zhang Haohao could also understand Song Yinzhang's thoughts. That lowly woman had never thought about being a royal wife. She had been very attracted to Chi Pan when she was young, but after so many years, Chi Pan still didn't help her. She was disappointed with the idea of deporting herself and marrying her, and she gradually understood that her time had probably been spent wrongly, but looking at the naive Chi Pan, she was still a little reluctant to let go.
But Zhang Haohao was not willing to give in, so she felt that Song Yinzhang would not be willing to give in either.
Zhang Haohao guessed right. With Zhao Paner's example in front of him, Song Yinzhang was influenced by it every day. He definitely didn't want to wait another three years to bet on a scholar's future. What if that scholar was like Ouyang Xu?
After all, which scholar would be like a brother-in-law?
Time passed quickly, and the Xiao family's night banquet was held on time at the Xiao family in Tokyo. Many important ministers came that night, even Mr. Yan, who was about to leave Tokyo, came. Among the most dignitaries at the banquet, Wang Yue This junior official from the fifth rank would definitely not have been invited if Xiao Qinyan had not specially sent the invitation.
Therefore, Wang Yue was inconspicuous at the banquet. He hid in a corner and drank by himself. After all, the officials around him were older than him, so it was awkward to talk to him.
Zhao Paner's banquet was much more enjoyable. She followed Gao Hui to meet many famous ladies. Gao Hui was the only daughter of a third-rank official and the niece of a concubine in the palace. Naturally, many people came forward to fawn over her and wanted to pass. Zhao Paner gets into Gao Hui's relationship.
Zhao Pan'er and Gao Hui sat together, facing the crowd who came to greet them, and they got to know a lot of handkerchief friends. These girls were also very curious about Wang Shaoqing's wife. After all, the story of Zhao Pan'er and Gao Hui had been popular for many days.
And Zhao Pan'er was good at playing tricks on the spot. For a while, she was surrounded by many women who were chatting very enthusiastically. She also invited several women to play in Taoyuan Manor.
Those women have long heard that the ten miles of peach grove in the suburbs of Beijing is extremely beautiful, but they have never had the opportunity to visit. Now of course they will not refuse the invitation. After all, even if you don't appreciate Taolin, it's still good to play with Gao Hui.
Song Yinzhang, on the other hand, felt a little uncomfortable. She was standing in a room waiting for the summons with Gu Yue Pipa in her arms. Her favorite Gu Yue Pipa usually made her feel a little tired today.
You know, Song Yinzhang is now a woman from a good family. She didn't have to suffer this humiliation. It was because she had selfish motives. She felt that there were so many good men in the Song Dynasty, and she wanted to get to know some famous people, so she decided to talk about a song with Zhang Haohao. .
Thinking of Zhao Pan'er and Gao Hui who were in the backyard at this moment, Song Yinzhang felt that they must have had a drink at the women's table. Thinking of Grandma Kong's displeasure, Zhao Pan'er's objection, and the behavior of hiding it from her brother-in-law, Song Yinzhang's eyes were slightly red. But she still gritted her teeth and persisted stubbornly. She was not willing to wait another three years, nor was she willing to be a concubine.
A jealous heart is at work in Song Yinzhang's body. That's what my sister has, and I want it too!
It's just that after arriving, unlike what she expected to be held by someone, she actually had to stand here and wait for the call. This made Song Yinzhang feel aggrieved the more she thought about it, her body began to tremble unconsciously, and the beloved Pipa in her hand also It was like a huge weight, weighing him down so much that he couldn't breathe.
After a long time, Song Yinzhang became unsteady and almost fell down. Zhang Haohao, who had noticed her for a long time, was too late to help her.
Just when Song Yinzhang's beauty turned pale, a strong arm helped her up. The man looked at Song Yinzhang's stubborn appearance and said with some pity, "Is it so hard to stand it now? If you really feel wronged, you should fight her." Pull yourself together, use the pipa in your hand as a sword, and stab it back hard, so that you can live up to your hard work of practicing pipa."
Song Yinzhang was very scared when he saw the person coming, but the other person's words made him very happy, as if they were a The cardiotonic drug was injected into her body. She gave a weak salute, looked at Gu Qianfan and said, "Thank you for your help, young master. I am very grateful, little lady." Gu Qianfan has long been used to people being afraid of him, but he treats
this woman like a lady. I was surprised by the way she saluted. You should know that all ladies should have banquets in the back house, so why is this woman here?
Out of professional habits, Gu Qianfan subconsciously asked, "Aren't you from Leji?"
Song Yinzhang had a good impression of Gu Qianfan, and seemed to be afraid that Gu Qianfan would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "I was originally from Qiantang, but my brother-in-law helped me escape. She is now considered a good girl from a good family. Today, I was invited by Sister Zhang to play a song."
Gu Qianfan didn't expect such twists and turns. He didn't understand why he was still hanging out with a girl from a good family. He thought he was being raped. After the man redeemed himself as a flattery, he asked doubtfully, "Who is your brother-in-law?"
Zhang Haohao watched the interaction between the two, which seemed to be interesting, and was afraid of disturbing Song Yinzhang's good things, so he quickly took a few steps away. She knew that bringing Song Yinzhang today would be a way to please Song Yinzhang, but it would most likely cause Wang Yue's displeasure. Even Zhao Pan'er didn't agree with it, but seeing Song Yinzhang's insistence, she didn't say anything.
Gu Qianfan glanced at Zhang Haohao in surprise, seeing that she actually wanted to fulfill her wish, which made him a little surprised. However, since he had already asked the question, he couldn't take it back. He could only continue, "Although Gu is an errand of the Imperial City Division, , but he was also a second-class Jinshi. Tell me who your brother-in-law is. Maybe we can know each other, maybe he is in the same department."
Zhang Hao looked at Song Yinzhang and was dumbfounded. He quickly saluted and said with a smile, "I have met Gu. Commander."
Seeing Zhang Haohao do this, Song Yinzhang quickly woke up and felt blessed, and then explained, "I have met Commander Gu, and my brother-in-law is Wang Shaoqing of Dali Temple." Gu Qianfan was stunned for a moment, but he did not expect this
woman It turned out to be Wang Yue's sister-in-law. He thought of the information about the Imperial City Division and said with a smile, "Although we are not in the same department, we are familiar with each other."
Song Yinzhang was stunned after hearing Gu Qianfan's words. She did not expect that Wang Yue and Wang Yue were actually familiar with each other. Gu Qianfan recognized him and quickly prepared to say something, but Gu Qianfan took the lead and walked in. Before leaving, he did not forget to say a few words of encouragement.
Zhang Haohao waited for Gu Qianfan to leave, then approached him and said, "How can you thank me for meeting Commander Gu by chance? He was a second-class Jinshi." When Song Yinzhang heard what Zhang Haohao said, he thought of the powerful words just now
. Arms, her little face turned red instantly, Zhang Hao saw her thoughts, and she did something to him.
I don't know how long the banquet had passed when I suddenly heard Xiao Qinyan sitting on the high platform say, "Mrs. Zhang, who has been praised by the officials, is here. I wonder if everyone would like to listen to a song?" Everyone knew at a glance that this was an arrangement
. Yes, he applauded him very much, and Xiao Qinyan also took advantage of the situation and called Zhang Haohao in.
Wang Yue also wanted to see what the singers of this era looked like, so he looked up and unexpectedly found Song Yinzhang wearing a silk hat walking behind Zhang Haohao. This made him frown and he was no longer interested in listening to the music. .
Wang Yue didn't understand what the three sisters were doing. Isn't it good to learn the rules for three years and marry a scholar? By the time the scholar takes up a post in high school, he must have been promoted. There is no way he can suppress that unlucky scholar and prevent him from being bullied by Song Yinzhang.
But Song Yinzhang actually came to Xiao Mansion's night banquet. Although there were high-ranking officials and dignitaries here, it was really not a place where a low-born woman turned good could come casually. If something happened, Wang Yue would not care about it. If he did, he would offend someone. , no matter what, it doesn’t work.
Just when Wang Yue was lost in thought, something went wrong.
Zhang Haohao's music was still singing, and the second son of the Xiao family brought some delicacies from the Western Regions for Ke Zheng to taste, but he encountered a problem and reminded him not to disturb him while listening to the music. Everyone saw that there was something wrong between the former Prime Minister Ke Zheng and the future Prime Minister Xiao, but they didn't say much. They just watched the show with their eyes, nose, nose and heart.
The second son of the Xiao family did not dare to get angry at Ke Xiang, but put the account on Song Yinzhang. However, now was not the time, so he could only endure it for the time being. After singing the song, before Xiao Qinyan could open his
mouth, Ke Zheng stroked his beard and commented in a disgraceful way on the song that Mr. Xiao liked. He said in a cold voice, "I can't sing well, but I play the pipa really well."
Zheng Zheng's words made Zhang Haohao look very ugly, but she could only stand still, but her heart was very sad. You know, she had only become one of the most famous singers in Beijing after she had been praised by officials. , being criticized by Ke Zheng in the blink of an eye, she could imagine that in the future her singing house would definitely be empty, but it was Ke Zheng who spoke from a high position, so she could only endure it.
Song Yinzhang, on the other hand, was very happy. Being praised by Ke Zheng was of great benefit to her, but she forgot that she was not a lowly person. In fact, she didn't want this benefit.
After all, it was the leader of Qingliu who spoke, and many people flattered him. As soon as Ke Zheng finished speaking, someone said, "Ke Gong's calligraphy is the best in the world, and he was also a master of music in his early years. It is really not easy for Ke Gong to praise him." Song Yinzhang also
said Not stupid, she immediately woke up and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you Ke Gong for your praise."
Seeing that Ke Zheng liked the pipa, Xiao Xiang wanted to lighten the atmosphere, so he quickly said, "In that case, please invite Mrs. Song to play again." Song."
Everyone applauded and the atmosphere relaxed again.
At this moment, the second son of the Xiao family who had just been humiliated rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "What's the point of just listening to the pipa? I've heard that Deputy Commander Gu of the Imperial City has superb swordsmanship. Why don't we imitate the previous dynasty's Aunt Gongsun and Lei Haiqing, how about you perform a sword dance to celebrate your father's birthday! This is also a good story!"
Everyone present did not expect that the second son of the Xiao family would slap the Imperial City Secretary in the face in public. What did this mean? No one paid attention to it for a while. Thinking about the meaning of this, could it be said that the Houdang is preparing to take down the Imperial City Division?
At this time, Song Yinzhang saw someone insulting the good husband she had just met. She wanted to tell Gu Qianfan that she and Wang Yue were not in the same subject, which meant that they were also Jinshi. She wanted to gain favor in front of Gu Qianfan, so she suddenly spoke Said, "It's inappropriate. Mencius said that there is no rule without rules. Deputy Ambassador Gu was born as a Jinshi. Now he is granted the title of Fei by an official family member, but it is really inappropriate to be asked to perform like an actor. Besides, in the past, Gongsun Auntie and Aunt Gongsun Lei Haiqing only performed for Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty to celebrate his birthday. Even though Mr. Xiao has great blessings, please be careful in what he says!" The
second son of the Xiao family was originally dissatisfied with Song Yinzhang. He planned to take it out after preparing a banquet, but he didn't expect this. Ersong Yinzhang dared to contradict him in public. How could he bear it? He immediately started blaming the case and calling it "complete nonsense."
Gu Qianfan didn't expect that he had comforted this timid little girl just now, and in the blink of an eye, she was reciprocating the favor, which made him feel very comfortable. He also always repays kindness and revenge, and for a moment he was worried about Song. The seal is safe.
Song Yinzhang was particularly strange today. She didn't look timid or fearful like before. She said sonorously and forcefully, "The character of a scholar-bureaucrat is more valuable than a daughter. What I said in the office was inappropriate first. I just pointed out the facts. What nonsense!
" The time hall became quiet, and everyone looked at Song Yinzhang. They wondered if this musician had lost his nerve and was so disrespectful to the Xiao family during the Xiao family's night banquet.
Wang Yue sighed. Although he didn't know that Song Yinzhang suddenly became so courageous, he knew that Song Yinzhang probably fell in love with Gu Qianfan. The expression he secretly looked at Gu Qianfan couldn't be fake. Was it because he was obsessed with lust and forgot to be afraid for a moment?
Seeing that Gu Qianfan frowned but didn't mean to say anything, Wang Yue knew that he might not be able to help today. It was possible that the two of them were concubines and lovers.
It's just that Gu Qianfan can ignore it, but Wang Yue can't stand idly by. He thought that Ke Zheng, who promoted him today, was also there, and Ke Zheng and Xiao Qinyan, the back party, had always been at odds, so he could just take this opportunity to express his position.
Thinking of this, Wang Yue stood up and walked to the center, saluted everyone, and then said without humility or arrogance, "Masters, don't be surprised. My wife loves music, and she just wanted to do Madam Zhang a favor, but she caused such a stir. If there is anything I can't do about a big turmoil, I will bear it with all my strength."
Wang Yue's words made everyone present take a breath. Although Wang Yue, a small fifth-grade young minister, has the title of Prime Minister Ke I like it, but I shouldn’t say that on this occasion.
Is this crazy?
What does Wang Shaoqing mean by this? That is to say, if the Xiao family is angry, just go to him directly and don't embarrass a little lady?
For a moment, a pin drop could be heard in the table. Everyone looked at Xiao Qinyan on the prime minister's stage, wondering how he, the future husband, would deal with Wang Yue.
Xiao Qinyan also twitched his lips. He knew that Wang Yue and Gu Qianfan had an inexplicable relationship and had helped each other several times. In order to make Gu Qianfan happy, he gave Wang Yue an invitation.
I just didn't expect Wang Yue to be so strong and not give the Xiao family any face. Xiao Qinyan was even more angry, what was his second son Xiao Wei doing? Before he was dead, he started killing each other.
Just when Xiao Qinyan was depressed, Ke Zheng rarely laughed out loud. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I wonder why a strong-minded pipa player suddenly appeared in Tokyo. It turns out she is your wife." Sister, it’s true that one family doesn’t belong to the same family.”
Wang Yue had a black line on his forehead. He admitted that his sister-in-law is quite beautiful and his eldest sister-in-law is also good, but he is really a good person and has no intention of bringing his eldest sister-in-law into his house.
Sure enough, as Wang Yue thought, as soon as Ke Zheng said this, everyone at the table laughed kindly, and several young officials winked at Wang Yue, looking like they were in the same camp.
There were rumors all over the capital that Wang Yue was infatuated. He waited three years for a woman, and three years later it happened that the woman's engagement was annulled, so he married the girl with a promise of money. This has become a good story.
When I met Song Yinzhang today, he looked so different. I guess Mrs. Wang must be very different, otherwise she would not have been so obsessed with Wang Shaoqing that she would have dared to say goodbye to Xiao Qinyan.
Of course, some people saw Wang Yue shouldering everything for Song Yinzhang, and they felt that his sister-in-law's butt was indeed unclear to his brother-in-law.
