Chapter 705 Scenery
After dinner, Zhang Xiaogu didn't want to leave and kept saying that she wanted to stay and go back home with them.
Now, not only did Zhang Laoer disagree, all the men in the family refused.
Even Zhang Lao Da said, "Siyun, are you confused? How can a married woman return to her hometown to worship her ancestors? There is no such custom. We have no objection to you coming home for the feast, but you have to follow the etiquette. Otherwise, don't blame us for not letting you in."
"Haha, brother, I'm just saying. I'm going to take my family back to my hometown tomorrow," said Zhang Xiaogu with a dry laugh.
In fact, she just wanted to give it a try, and she didn't dare to retort that Wu Ya was also a married woman and was divorced, so why could she go back with her.
After all, it would be so glorious to go back with her nephew. She saw all the people outside who were giving her gifts. They were all nobles that she would never see even if she had to stand on tiptoe.
It can be seen that my nephew has really become successful, amazing!
Aunt Zhang was envious, jealous, and jealous, and she only regretted that her son did not have the wealth and honor.
Actually, both Xu and Ma are older than her, but now they both look much younger and richer than her. It's really true that comparison is the thief of joy.
Among all the people, the others were okay, but the one she disliked the most was Wu Ya.
They are both remarried daughters. Why can that dead girl Wu Ya wear gold and silver and have servants order her around, while she can only remarry an old man and eat coarse food? God, this is so unfair.
Besides, I'm the elder, but this damn girl is looking at me out of the corner of her eye. Who is she looking down on?! Tsk!
As if no one noticed, his face was full of disgust!
This is hilarious. It's all thanks to my brother. Who is more noble than who?!
This huge gap and contempt made Zhang Xiaogu secretly come up with a dirty idea.
I'll just wait a few days to find out more about the situation before taking any action. Then we'll see what happens to that damn girl Wu Ya.
Humph! !! !!
The others knew nothing about Zhang Xiaogu's brainstorming.
Zhang herself admitted that she was a person with a heart as hard as iron and had never been a dedicated mother.
But seeing how miserable her daughter was now, she couldn't bear it.
Before leaving, Aunt Zhang stuffed a purse into the child's arms and said in a heavy tone, "This is for the child. Spend it sparingly!"
"Oh, mother, I've already given you the gift for meeting you. This... this isn't a good idea!" Aunt Zhang refused, but she put the purse into her arms very quickly.
Zhang glanced at her daughter with a meaningful look in her eyes, but she said nothing more, shook her head and went into the house.
When Zhang Xiaogu saw this, she felt embarrassed, but she returned to normal in a blink of an eye. After saying goodbye to everyone, she happily left with her son and grandson.
She had to go back quickly and find a way to divorce the old man.
Now that she has a promising nephew, there is no need for her to serve the old man anymore, and she doesn't want the other family to benefit from it.
As she walked back, Aunt Zhang told her son and grandson not to let the secret slip.
I have to say that this decision is somewhat like Zhang's.
Wu Ya didn't know that because of her contempt and arrogance, there were eyes secretly staring at her, trying to find a way to drag her into the mud!
She had just overheard her mother, Xu, and grandmother, Zhang, mention that they were going to lock her up when they got home, and then send her to the nearby Wuxian Temple to practice Buddhism with her hair uncut.
Let her cleanse her mind and learn some manners. We don't plan to take her to the capital, so let her stay at home with the first and third wives.
This frightened her.
It turns out that the calmness of the past two days was all hidden, just waiting to punish her when she gets home!
Wu Ya didn't want to sit and wait for death, but there was no one to talk to, and she was so worried that she didn't know what to do.
At this time, she had not yet fully realized the seriousness of the matter. Everyone agreed with this decision, which meant that everyone was dissatisfied with her. Even if she remarried, she would not be able to live a good life.
……
After everyone had a good night's sleep, the next morning soon arrived.
The ceremonial guard arranged by County Magistrate Weng arrived at dawn and was waiting to set off.
Everyone put on their most valuable clothes and looked energetic for this important day. The servants and guards were also dressed neatly.
By mid-afternoon, the sky was already bright and the sun was dazzling.
Everyone had breakfast and packed their luggage.
County Magistrate Weng and his officials were waiting outside the door, ready to see him off.
The leading yamen runner, upon seeing this, struck the gong vigorously and shouted, "Lift up the sedan chair!"
The team then set off slowly.
Walking in the front was the band, with two people beating gongs to lead the way, four others holding "Silence" and "Avoid" signs, and eight others playing music.
Behind them was a team of flag bearers holding high flags. Two of them were second-rank flags embroidered with peacocks on blue silk, and the other two were plain silk flags with the officials' titles and names written on them.
Fluttering in the wind, it shows that its owner is extraordinary.
Behind the flags came the weapons and ceremonial guards, consisting of runners in black robes holding wooden halberd stands, eight halberds in a row, and four swords, escorting them on both sides.
Together with the young and strong guards and servants that Zhang Ping'an brought with him, as well as the luxurious carriages and fine horses, it was truly magnificent.
