First Minister Section 502
They bared their teeth and claws, not only rushed forward, but they also had ropes taken from the shoulder pole in their hands, and they were about to tie up Zhang Shuning.
Now Zhang Shuning was cornered.
Although Xia Zhifeng and him are neighbors, there are dozens of steps between the two families. The most important thing is that the father may not be at home, but the grandparents, and they can't hear them. As for the guards, they will protect the Zhang family, but something happened to the Xia family. , may not come...
Zhang Shuning's scalp was numb, after all, he was still a child under ten years old!
"You, you are so audacious!" Zhang Shuning roared angrily, "My father is Zhang Xiang, who of you dares to be presumptuous!"
The one who was most surprised was not these people, but Xia Zhifeng behind Zhang Shuning, she looked at Zhang Shuning stupidly, are you the master's son?
Not to mention, the back looks very similar!
Chapter 697 I'm Too Stupid
In Zhang Shuning's mere nine years of life, he has seen many big scenes and knows more big people, but the only thing he doesn't know is how dangerous people's hearts can be!
This is not simply good and evil, good and bad, right and wrong, but clearly being your relative, in the name of your own good, but forcing you to do something you don't want.Or simply put, trade your lifelong happiness for your own benefits.
Do you have such relatives?
Maybe a lot, but Zhang Shuning has never really experienced it... His father didn't recognize the original Zhang family at all, and his father was blocked.
Jiang Nan is also stern and selfless. Uncle Jiang Ke, he only hates that he is not as good as his sister, and he is afraid of being laughed at, so he doesn't even want to enter the Zhang family's door.
As for grandma and grandpa, they have already arranged the business of the family to take care of their grandson.
Not to mention close relatives, even if it was Zhu Ying's kind, if Zhu Chun was forced to come over, Zhang Shuning would be furious, how could he dare to go too far?
After all, with Zhang Ximeng here, don't they even want the Nine Clans?
It's just ironic that in the entire Ming Dynasty, the more top people were, the more they knew Zhang Ximeng's terror. On the contrary, when it came to the people, some people knew that Zhang Ximeng was a good official, and some knew that he had great power.
But what the three words Zhang Ximeng meant, not many people could say clearly.
For example, Xia Zhifeng, the second aunt, since Xia Zhifeng's mother died, she didn't talk to Xia Zhifeng's father and daughter much, mainly because Xia's father was very poor, he was not very good at business, and he didn't have much money, so he couldn't count on it.
The two sides only had occasional exchanges during the New Year's Eve, but they basically broke up unhappy.
But not long ago, Xia Zhifeng was admitted to Jimin Academy with super high grades, which attracted the attention of my second aunt.
Mainly the son of the second aunt's family, who has been in Mengxue for seven years, has not yet graduated smoothly, two years longer than the normal school system, and Xia Zhifeng ended one and a half years earlier.
Moreover, she was admitted to the best Jimin Academy Elementary School, which is not a big deal. Not long after entering school, Xia Zhifeng jumped up another grade and was in the same class as Zhang Shuning.
A girl who has skipped grades continuously, is extremely smart, and is loved by many people.
Before Zhang Ximeng came, Xia Zhifeng was already well-known.
After the second aunt heard about it, she brought her son here, and wanted to ask Xia Zhifeng to help with tutoring, at least graduate from elementary school first, don't be so big, and hang out with a group of children.
It turned out that Xia Zhifeng was not at home that time, and went to Zhang Shuning to copy books, and it was Father Xia who saw their mother and daughter.
Father Xia looked at it, feeling very unhappy.
"Feng girl is very busy. I have to copy books every day. As a father, I feel distressed. If he can't, I will pay for someone who can teach him. Don't bother our Feng girl. Your son , entered elementary school at the age of seven, later than others, is she already fourteen or five years old? Feng girl is still young, it is not good to be together. "
Father Xia directly refused, so what was he thinking of asking Feng girl to give him extra lessons for such a huge monster!
The second aunt and mother were driven away, and Father Xia felt that he was justified.
But the second aunt was wronged... If there is no kinship, how can I read?Like catching the thief king?Has it really become a phoenix on the branch?
The second aunt is a matchmaker, she has such a stinking mouth, she goes around talking about it, secretly poking at Xia Zhifeng's reputation.
It's just that the father and daughter of the Xia family didn't pay much attention... At this time, Father Xia went to Yingtian on behalf of Huaxia Bookstore to help run the business, and then Zhang Ximeng came again.
He gave lectures in the school and took Xia Zhifeng as his apprentice.
Becoming Zhang Xiang's disciple, everyone in the school envied her. Everyone knew that Xia Zhifeng was almost the same as the real Phoenix now.
A disciple of Zhang Xiang, he can almost stand shoulder to shoulder with Princess Daming, and he is like a phoenix.
But still the same sentence, people like Liu Sanwu understand the weight of it, but Xia Zhifeng's second aunt doesn't.
All she knew was that this girl Xia Zhifeng had really wooed a big shot, she could look down on others.
Seeing the Xia family's life getting better made her feel worse than falling into the [-]th floor of hell.
As a result, the second aunt went around and said that Xia Zhifeng died early. She, the second aunt, has helped so much, and she is about the same as her own mother. In the end, the girl got lucky and forgot her second aunt , It's really chilling.
As the word is passed around, the taste changes.
Became the second aunt Han and Xia Zhifeng as mother and daughter in love, able to decide everything...
One evening, someone brought a box to Second Aunt Han's house and took out [-] guan!
enough?
Not enough plus!
As long as it can facilitate a marriage, as much as you want!
Second Aunt Han was also dumbfounded, she had never seen so much money, and her heart was beating wildly.
Even if Xia Zhifeng flies to the branch, she may not give her so much money!
Second Aunt Han thought over and over again, and with her many years of experience as a matchmaker, she really came up with a bad idea.
That is raw rice cooked cooked rice.
Anyway, Father Xia is not at home, she is Xia Zhifeng's second aunt, and there are not many relatives on her natal side, so she has the final say.
As a relative, he was a matchmaker for Xia Zhifeng, and while Father Xia was not at home, he accepted the engagement gift, and this matter became more than half.
The other party is not stupid, Father Xia is not at home, can this work?
"This is what you are all about. The words of the matchmaker are ordered by your parents. My mother is gone. I am both the second aunt and the matchmaker. I can be half of the family. As long as you give enough gifts and are sincere enough, as long as you give Send the gift over there, accept it over there, and then publicize it so that everyone knows about it. Even if my brother-in-law comes back, what can he do?"
"Forcing to withdraw the dowry gift? What is that for? Could it be that he hates the poor and loves the rich, and wants to climb another branch? Or does he feel that the dowry gift is not enough and wants more? No matter what he says, it will tarnish his daughter's reputation. If he is smart, he can only accept it. Down!"
The person opposite frowned, "It's reasonable for you to say that, but Mr. Zhang is involved here. Xia Zhifeng is Mr. Zhang's disciple. If you offend him, the consequences will be disastrous!"
The second aunt smiled happily, "You've hit the point. Mr. Zhang is tall, but the taller he is, the more he can't get involved in such small things. It's hard for an upright official to break up housework. That's the reason." You don't understand? I might as well make it clear. I heard that Mr. Zhang is an upright official, and being his apprentice, that girl may not do me much good. Now that he has just been apprenticed to a teacher, Mr. Zhang is not easy to ask too much , I will settle the matter, he is a dignified prime minister, how can he still have trouble with me, a common woman?"
"But I want to make it clear... the marriage is over, and we can't get married for a while, you have to be nice to that girl, don't let her turn her face, this matter can finally be settled!"
The visitor pondered for a while, "What should I do?"
The second aunt smiled and said: "It's not difficult. How much knowledge can a little girl have? You can give her gifts and spend money so that she can't leave you. That's it. But...you won't be reluctant to spend money." money?"
The person who came quickly shook his head, "This is Zhang Xiang's disciple, we are willing to spend any amount! Second Aunt Han, you have a good idea, I still have [-] strings here, please keep it!"
Second Aunt Han smiled, and quickly took it.
"So, when shall we give the dowry?"
The visitor thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The difference between Xia's house and Zhang Xiang's current residence is less than a hundred steps, and there are many people protecting Zhang Xiang around. If you go there with great fanfare, you won't disturb the other side, right?"
Second Aunt Han thought over and over again, she walked the streets all year round, and passed by there a few times, she really came up with a solution.
"I just find the young and strong around me to be porters. They all listen to me, and they are not outsiders. We don't bring any weapons. We just say that it is a dowry gift, to accomplish a good deed, and to send some candies or something. You said to protect Prime Minister Zhang. Those people, can we still not allow us to be engaged to get married?"
After thinking about it, the visitor nodded repeatedly.
Not to mention, these matchmakers don't have great skills, but they have a lot of crooked ideas. According to her, they are really sure of success.
No matter how you say it, as long as you can get married with Zhang Xiang's female disciple and climb up Zhang Xiang's high branch, it will be worth the price.
Thinking about our young master, he can be regarded as a good-looking talent, with a handsome appearance. After getting engaged, he speaks softly and keeps giving gifts, so he doesn't worry that this matter will fail.
Moreover, Zhang Xiang saw our sincerity, and he might agree. It would be the best if he could get his old man's permission.
Things really went according to Aunt Han's expectation.
She asked the nearby young and strong to rush to Xia's house with the dowry, blowing and blowing, and really did not encounter any obstacles, and arrived at Xia's house smoothly.
It was just Xia Zhifeng's attitude that caught her off guard.
How old is this girl?
How dare you be disobedient?
Second Aunt Han wanted to force Xia Zhifeng to submit by coaxing and deceiving her.
In the end, another kid suddenly appeared, which made Second Aunt Han a little annoyed.
She simply resorted to the methods of being a matchmaker in the past, walking around the streets, confusing the public, playing tricks, and making things out of nothing.
These methods are enough to deal with [-]% of honest people.
But who knew that Zhang Shuning first took out a waist card, and then said that he was the son of Zhang Xiang.
The porters were terrified, they charged Second Aunt Han five times the wages, so they worked extra hard.
But if this was Zhang Ximeng's son, they wouldn't have the guts... Especially when there were two veterans inside, they were so frightened that they couldn't help but their blood turned cold.
Second Aunt Han was still not convinced, "You are Zhang Xiang's son, and I'm still the Queen Mother, don't trust him, arrest me, send me to the Yamen, and ask the official to make decisions for us!"
But this time her clamoring didn't work, because a group of people rushed from outside with sticks in their hands, and immediately surrounded the gift giver.
The leader was out of breath, and said to Zhang Shuning, "Boss, how are you doing, are you okay?"
It turned out that Zhang Shuning passed by the door of Xia's house and found that someone was giving a bride price. He felt something was wrong... But because of his frequent visits, those secret guards only monitored people from outside. There are not many restrictions.
After all, when Zhang Xiang came here, he didn't want to make chickens fly and dogs jump, and the people were uneasy.
When the guards were not around, Zhang Shuning noticed a middle-aged man watching the excitement... He was working in Huaxia Bookstore and was a veteran.
Zhang Shuning hurriedly told him that the situation is not right, you should find some people to come over.
The veteran didn't feel much at first... The second aunt was a well-known matchmaker, he knew all the porters, and the betrothal gifts they sent were all real money.
He thought that the girl from Lao Xia's family married a good family and wanted to have a wedding wine!
But when Zhang Shuning reminded him, he also felt something was wrong.
Then he left in a hurry to greet other neighbors... Zhu Ying told Zhang Shuning earlier that most of the workers were recruited from the parents of Jimin School.
This trick worked, the veteran turned around, and called dozens of people, and then a large group came one after another, can they not help their boss?
Therefore, the strength and weakness were reversed in an instant, and Zhang Shuning surrounded Second Aunt Han instead.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Shuning secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but he still blamed himself, because he thought too much about people, so that negligence occurred!
If there are a few people around, or a few guards for the Xia family, this will not be the case.
When Second Aunt Han saw this, she was a little surprised and smiled and said, "They're all neighbors, who doesn't know who? I'm here to propose marriage to my niece. What are you getting involved with? Do you want to drink wedding wine? Wait a few more years! Let it go! Let it go!"
She wanted to make a big deal into a small one and get away quickly, but Zhang Shuning had already regained his composure, and he snorted, "I heard you say that the person who asked you to be a matchmaker was the nephew of a high-ranking official, is there such a thing?"
Second Aunt Han was taken aback subconsciously, "What's the matter? Officials can't get married yet?"
Zhang Shuning sneered and said, "I suspect that you are taking advantage of others and running to force a marriage! I also suspect that you are coercing girls and buying and selling marriages. You have bad intentions!"
Second Aunt Han was even more surprised, this kid is really sharp!
"Why are you so vicious at such a young age? I am her second aunt, how can I harm her? Don't defile people's innocence!"
"Innocence! You'll have to check to find out!" Zhang Shuning held up his badge, "See, it's the badge of the Thousand Household Officer!"
Zhang Shuning turned around and said to the veteran: "You take people to this woman's house now, do you know?"
The old soldier was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and said, "I know, I know everything!"
"You go there now, go to her house, seal it up immediately, see if there is any evidence, and tell me quickly!"
The veteran pondered for a while, but still nodded, and immediately greeted his brothers, followed him, and told others to stay here and obey the boss's orders.
When the old soldier left, Second Aunt Han was terrified. She had collected so much money and a letter. If it fell into the hands of this brat, she would be in trouble.
"You, what are you, you dare to issue orders, I, I can tell you, I came here to propose marriage on behalf of the Tang family!"
Zhang Shuning didn't even hum, he was too lazy to look at this shrew, he turned his head aside, coincidentally, his gaze collided with Xia Zhifeng.
In an instant, Zhang Shuning's face turned red.
After all, he was still a child, and in a hurry, he even revealed the biggest secret easily, and it was a bit embarrassing to face his little friend again at this time.
Xia Zhifeng frowned, looked at him carefully, and suddenly said: "You, you do look similar to Mr.! Are you really Mr.'s son?"
Zhang Shuning was startled, then nodded helplessly, "Indeed, I, I didn't mean to lie to you!"
Xia Zhifeng was stunned for a long while, then suddenly said: "I, I was worried that Mr. would not accept you!"
