Chapter 68 Sisters

Mu Qingyun caused a scene, which seemed to end Zhang Qingqing's transparent state in the Zhang family.

She and Yu's mother had just returned to the West Courtyard, and before they even entered, Zhang Xiuxiu arrived.

This girl doesn't have the face that a 'vicious female supporting role' should have. She has thin eyebrows and eyes, a small cherry mouth. She wears half-worn clothes neatly, and even the patches on her cuffs are beautifully mended.

Walking towards her all the way, her steps were light and she had the aura of Xiaojiabiyu.

As soon as Zhang Xiuxiu came over, she naturally took Mu Qingyun's hand and handed her a bottle of medicinal wine.

"My mother hasn't been feeling well these past few days, so I don't want to disturb her too much. Yesterday I saw in the newspaper an article about Song's Maoji Medicinal Wine. It was said that the woman drank it and was very tonic. I asked my mother to try it too."

Mu Qingyun responded politely with a smile.

After chatting for half a quarter of an hour, which was neither long nor short, Zhang Xiuxiu said goodbye in a sensible manner and left without causing any trouble.

Moreover, Zhang Wu, whom Mu Qingyun beat so violently, was also her biological brother, and they had always been quite close to each other. Zhang Wu also loved his sister very much and obeyed her without saying anything.

Zhang Xiuxiu didn't mention it at all, as if it didn't happen.

She now had the idea that her father was indifferent and her eldest brother was a bit of a playboy. He had many friends around him, but he had no good people. She didn't know if she could make plans for herself.

Separated by a wall, Zhang Rongrong, who lived in the big room, also knew what happened next door, but she laughed with her mother and said, "Zhang Qingqing has a little temper today. That's exactly what he should be like. He spends all day cowardly and confused. Others will only bully you."

"However, Zhang Shen is still considered your brother. I will cook him a bowl of noodles later. I still have to do it to show my love."

That house was very chaotic and there were no rules at all. Whose little wife could be the same as the main wife? They were merchants who put all kinds of dirty and smelly things into the house, and there were a lot of them.

What good can come out of her quarreling with the master like this?

Not to mention that she actually hit her eldest brother. As a woman, the one she can rely on in the future is the man in the family.

When they were in the first grade of junior high school, their school went on a mountain hiking trip to visit the Disaster Memorial Hall. After that, they and a few classmates made an appointment to climb Shoushan Mountain not far away.

But he didn't want to think about it. The wealth that was still saved in the family was all obtained by his mother's many years of careful management and planning.

She was really impatient to deal with Zhang Shen.

Her mother, Mrs. Yin, put down the needlework in her hand, tapped her daughter's forehead and said, "Qingqing is young after all, and her skills are not strong enough. If it were my mother, she wouldn't be able to hit people directly with a sword or a gun."

Zhang Xiuxiu felt a little anxious. She was sixteen years old and at the age of getting married.

After appreciating her mood at that time and now, Mu Qingyun smiled. It turned out that she was also a little hypocritical. Isn't the rickshaw just as comfortable as it is now?

Although Yuncheng is small, the market is quite lively. Mu Qingyun saw some shops selling calendars on the roadside.

It's not that she doesn't want to pay for the sedan chair, it's just that she naturally can't accept the fact that while she sits, others have to work hard to shoulder her burdens.

Zhang Xiuxiu didn't quite understand it, and she didn't think much of the freedom of marriage, but she could see a benefit from it.

As I was looking around, the front suddenly became crowded and noisy.

In the past, marriage between a man and a woman was ordered by the parents and arranged by a matchmaker. When the two parties got married, it was a marriage between two families, and it was important to be of the same family.

She knew that the other party definitely wanted her to sit.

But Mu Qingyun is a little awkward.

"What is that?"

Doctor Liu examined Yue Ling and said that she had a cold last year and had not taken good care of it, and now the root cause of the disease was left. He prescribed medicine for three days and then examined her after eating.

Here the mother and daughter were talking. Mu Qingyun, who was considered to be not very skillful, carried the medicine box for Miracle Doctor Liu, sent him out, and went to grab some medicine.

Not to mention that her father has been dead for seven years. Even if he is still alive, don't even think about using some of the family property to give birth to a baby born to a woman outside.

But if she really wants to be well-matched, who can she marry? A poor scholar? A small landowner? A small businessman?

No matter who he is, he can only live a life similar to that of sister Xin'er.

The newspaper said that the Ming Dynasty now allowed women to go to school and become officials, and advocated freedom of marriage.

In fact, Mu Qingyun was a little uncomfortable sitting on such a human-driven thing.

Zhang Qingqing used to get a little angry every time she heard this.

But things are different now. Zhang Xiuxiu knows that she looks good, and she does her best to make herself beautiful and respectable. She can also read and do arithmetic.

She was also aware of her father's temperament. She only focused on reading his books. How had she ever cared about her children?

In the end, people still have to rely on themselves.

Mu Qingyun observed the situation, at least he didn't see any particular danger.

She used to attend temple fairs in the village, and every time she saw a float parade, she would immediately climb to a higher place.

Mu Qingyun smiled and refused to refute.

Zhang Shenlao felt that he was the eldest son of the Zhang family and the only male in the eldest house, so everything in the eldest house belonged to him.

My neighbor's sister, Xiner, got married last year to a concubine from a small businessman's family.

Zhang Xiuxiu didn't want to let her father get married like this. She didn't even know how many noses and eyes the other party had.

That day, many classmates took sedan chairs up the mountain, but Mu Qingyun did not sit on them.

"Besides, what's the use of a beating? It's just a little flesh wound. He's really capable. He should eradicate the root cause."

"This is the way of the world where an individual does not care for himself and is punished by heaven and earth. I would rather betray the world than teach the world to betray me."

Supporting Doctor Liu, Mu Qingyun called a rickshaw. The driver was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. She smiled and got on it without hesitation.

People also want to make money.

Zhang Rongrong sighed: "I know."

"To deal with idiots like Zhang Wu and Zhang Shen, there are a hundred ways to make them unable to stand up again."

Yin’s eyebrows are gentle.

Shoushan is very high, the steps are very shaky, and there are many porters and sedan bearers at the foot of the mountain to receive guests.

Mother Yu looked at her back and then at Mu Qingyun, feeling a little envious.

When outsiders see the two of them talking, they must feel very warm. No one can imagine what kind of sword is hidden in their words.

Zhang Xiuxiu left the small courtyard and stopped to look back. She thought to herself that Qingqing seemed to have grown up, but she was still very stupid.

The production is very gorgeous, especially the paintings on it, which really poked her cuteness. It's a pity that the bag is empty, otherwise I really want to buy it.

Today is different from before. Zhang Xiuxiu often buys a newspaper and hides it while going to buy flowers.

"The second young lady has a good relationship with her brother, but that's different. Her mother-in-law is also reliable. Her future will not be ruined. She will definitely find a good in-law."

After being married for less than a year, sister Xin'er looks seven or eight years older.

Not far ahead, a float came slowly. Mu Qingyun stood up instinctively and prepared to climb onto the float to have a look. He stopped halfway before climbing.

The float is pulled by two horses, and its body is shining with silver. Cranes are carved on the left and right cornices, and each crane holds a lamp in its mouth.

Curtains were made on all sides with gold and silver threads, pearls, agate and other materials. A vague figure could be seen through the curtains.

This car was so bright that the crowds in front and behind gave way to it, so much so that she thought it was a parade float.

Mu Qingyun first saw the exposed sleeve of the person in the car. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary splash of ink, but when the sun shone on it, it was a bit scorching.
