Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 39 Night Talk

Zhang Dingzhi really took her grandmother's words to heart during the dinner just now.

She believed that her grandmother would not have said that for no reason.

After this year's New Year's Eve, it was time for her and her hairpin ceremony. Most of the noble girls in the high-end courtyards in the capital had already made plans to get married, or they had already started seeing each other.

Only the young ladies of the Zhang family didn't look at each other.

In fact, over the years, there have been people who have come to our door to reveal their secrets and get married.

But grandma used the excuse that they were still young to decline each other's kindness.

Now that the old things were brought up again, Zhang Dingzhi's heart was hanging.

It’s not that I don’t want to get married, it’s that I don’t know what kind of person I will marry.

She has always been used to being free and undisciplined. She cannot learn the rules of the high-level compound, nor can she integrate into them.

"Yue'er, tell me, will my grandmother agree to my not getting married?"

When Song Jinyue looked at Cousin Zhi saying this, the light in her eyes dimmed little by little.

During the great changes in the palace in her previous life, Cousin Zhi had not yet settled on a family.

Therefore, she didn't know what kind of family Cousin Zhi would marry in the end.

He shook his head and sighed: "My aunt was the first to refuse!"

The two sighed again.

"Yue'er, let me ask you something. Answer me honestly. Do you really want to marry the fifth prince?" Zhang Dingzhi's expression suddenly became serious and he stared at her closely and asked.

Song Jinyue chuckled, shook her head, and replied: "I don't want to marry him. I have only regarded him as my brother since I was a child. You want me to marry him? No!"

She clearly saw that Cousin Zhi's tense look relaxed a little after she finished speaking.

"That's good... I see that although the fifth prince is kind and gentle, I always feel that he still hides an unknown face." Zhang Dingzhi breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed in his heart, Yue'er is lucky.

He is a smart one.

Ever since she was a child, when the prince brought the fifth prince to the Zhang Mansion, she didn't like him very much at first sight.

No matter how much the fifth prince tried to please her later, she still didn't like the fifth prince.

Song Jinyue was somewhat surprised by Cousin Zhi's opinion of He Yuan frame. In her previous life, He Yuan frame was so genuine that none of the elders saw any flaws.

Seeing her downcast expression, Zhang Dingzhi mistakenly thought that her previous statement about not marrying was just a casual talk, and she was afraid that she still wanted to marry, right? After all, when she was young, her cousin had been much closer to the fifth prince than others.

"Yue'er?" Zhang Dingzhi called softly, with a bit of annoyance on his face.

Song Jinyue pulled her lips, shook her head with a smile, and then slowly said, "I just remembered that when I entered the palace yesterday, my aunt promised that I could break off the engagement."

The queen has arranged a marriage for the two of them, and everyone in the capital knows about it.

Zhang Dingzhi looked at the cousin in front of him in astonishment, surprised that she had already mentioned breaking off the engagement with her aunt in the palace.

She originally thought that these words tonight were just the sincerity between sisters. After all, breaking off the engagement was a matter of concern to the royal family. How could it be so easy to break away?

But who would have thought that my cousin actually mentioned it.

She asked about the result again and learned that her aunt had promised to break off the engagement only when her cousin found a suitable candidate.

After I finally plucked up the courage, I felt a little discouraged.

You can count the number of young masters in the capital who are eligible to marry on one finger. If you cancel the marriage of the fifth prince, who can you marry? Why not let the second brother marry his cousin?

This thought was fleeting. How could a rough temperament like my second brother be worthy of my shy and beautiful cousin? He wouldn’t have to waste so much!

Song Jinyue asked again where Cousin Zhi had been a few days ago, but she ran into Cousin Tongping.

Only then did I learn that Cousin Zhi had gone to Wanxian County a few days ago. It was because there was a drought in Wanxian County this summer. Due to the lack of land and people, no one in the court took care of it.

This matter reached the ears of Cousin Zhi, and she took the young men of the Zhang family to Wan County to fight the drought.

He led the people of Wan County to dig canals to divert water, and built an irrigation canal from the river dozens of miles away.

The people were grateful for Cousin Zhi's great kindness, and invited her to the banquet as part of Wanxian's annual prayer festival.

After staying for a few days, she received a letter from home saying that Song Jinyue was back, and she hurried back again.

Because he took the mountain road and took a shortcut, he didn't run into his second brother.

The two of them chatted one after another.

I don't know when I fell asleep.

Since her rebirth, this was the first time that Song Jinyue slept soundly.

The maid helped the two of them wash up, and Grandma Yuan came into the room to reply, saying that the old lady asked them to come over and have breakfast together.

Zhang Dingzhi wore a light blue brocade double-breasted skirt. Song Jinyue picked a light purple double-breasted skirt and packed it up. Zhang Dingzhi then took her cousin's arm and they walked down the corridor.

Joking all the way to the old lady's courtyard.

Ms. Xie got up early to help her mother-in-law wash up. Now the food had been laid out, and the two girls had just arrived. After bowing, the old lady asked people to sit down and have breakfast together.

But who would have thought that after using only one chopstick, Nanny Liu looked hastily looking for her.

As soon as he entered the house, he knelt on the ground and confessed his crime.

The old lady put down her chopsticks and her tone was a bit colder, "It's so early in the morning, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Liu looked around, and finally her eyes fell on Miss Cousin, feeling quite embarrassed.

"explain!"

The old lady wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief and scolded sharply.

Aunt Liu then said slowly: "The Duke of Song is here..."

"Then why don't we welcome people in!"

"My lord, he, he refused to come in. He said he was... coming to take my cousin back home." Aunt Liu kept looking at the old lady's expression as she spoke.

He was afraid that if he said something wrong and made the old lady angry, he would be guilty of a serious crime.

The old lady's eyes paused, with a cold look in her eyes, and she sneered coldly, "I'm afraid that the Duke of Guo feels that my Zhang Mansion is not worthy of the high-class courtyard of his Duke's Mansion!"

As soon as the old lady said these words, Grandma Liu didn't know how to answer the words, and she knelt on the ground with her head lowered.

I cursed in my heart that I was really unlucky today. The Duke was so angry that he almost started fighting with the guards at the door. People gathered around the door to watch the fun.

But she would never dare to tell the old lady about this.

I was afraid of angering the old lady.

Mrs. Xie was afraid that her mother-in-law would be angry, so she hurriedly brought a cup of tea to her mother-in-law and advised her, "Why should my mother have the same knowledge as him? It's not worth it."

Xie glanced at her niece from the corner of her eye and signaled to the old lady not to make things difficult for her niece.

After all, he was his niece's biological father.

The old lady cleared her throat, took Mr. Xie's tea cup, took a sip, and then placed the blue and white porcelain tea cup on the table.

"Stay back first." Mrs. Xie ordered to Nanny Liu who was kneeling on the ground.

Grandma Liu breathed a sigh of relief, then felt relieved and said "yes".

She has informed the Duke of Guo of his purpose, so that she can go back and give him a reply. As for what happens to the Duke of Guo after that, it has nothing to do with her.

Zhang Dingzhi did not know the hidden truth. Since her sister-in-law passed away, no one from the Zhang family has ever entered the gate of the Duke of Song Dynasty.

During the holidays, the two families don't move around.
