Beginning to become the second ancestor

Chapter 551 Chapter 549 A gift that cannot be refused

Zhang's family is not far from the imperial palace. As Zhang Tongzhi, he is a first-rank university scholar, famous in the Zhou Dynasty, with many students, and his reputation is even higher than that of Su Changyuan.

It's just that Zhang's family is weak, and they have always been passed down in a single line. It was passed down to Zhang Liyan's generation. He married Lu Zhen, the youngest daughter of the Lu family, but he had never had a child, and died of illness very early due to frailty.

The Lu family adopted Lu Tong's daughter, Lu Qingning, to Lu Zhen, renamed her Zhang Qingning, and raised her as a daughter of the Zhang family.

When Song Yuanxuan's carriage reached the gate of Zhang's house, Zhang Qingning poked his head out of the carriage and shouted to the porter, "Open the door."

"Miss is back!" A muscular man said cheerfully, and then opened the door.

The carriage stopped in the yard, Luo Yan jumped out of the carriage, Song Yuanxuan pulled Zhang Qingning out of the carriage, and looked across the entire yard.

The yard is very clean, with a touch of Zen charm. A small river meanders on one side, and a piece of thin bamboo is planted on the other side of the river. The rolling hills and piled rockeries are extremely elegant.

The house is not small, Zhang Qingning pulled him towards the main house on one side, let go of his hand when he walked in, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xuan, grandpa is inside, and my mother is also there."

Song Yuanxuan nodded and straightened his robe at the same time.

In the front hall of Zhang's house, Zhang Tongzhi sat with a serious face. His face was shaped like a blade, and his law lines were deep. At first glance, he looked like a very majestic Confucian.

He has a beard under his chin, gray hair, and bright eyes. Sitting beside him is Lu Zhen, wrapped in a white dress, with an undulating figure and legs crossed. He sits very well, but his bright appearance is not inferior to Lu Yaoguang.

"Junior Song Yuanxuan has met Mr. Zhang!" Song Yuanxuan saluted, which is a standard junior salute, and there is no official acquaintance.

Zhang Tongzhi's face softened slightly, his eyes fell on him, and then at Zhang Qingning beside him, she followed Song Yuanxuan stubbornly.

"Qing Ning, come here and sit beside me." Lu Zhen said in a deep voice, with a bit of complexity in his eyes.

Song Yuanxuan smiled slightly, turned his head to look at her and said, "Go back and sit down, and keep the rules."

Only now did Zhang Qingning honestly sit beside Lu Zhen, and Zhang Tongzhi got up and returned a salute: "Duke Wen Yi will soon be enthroned as king, and he will replace Li Tianning as grand master. His official status is still higher than that of an old man, so why do you need to perform the ceremony of a junior?"

"The younger generation did not come here this time to meet in an official capacity. Qing Ning and the younger generation are in love with each other, so the younger generation wants to marry her to pass the family, and I hope the adults will do it!"

Song Yuanxuan saluted, straight to the point, and offered a gift at the same time.

Zhang Qingning raised his voice from one side: "Luo Yan, remove all the presents from the carriage, brother Xuan prepared them with great difficulty, don't leave them behind."

Luo Yan brought down a lot of silk from the carriage, there were several horses, and a pile of tea leaves. I think Zhang Qingning spent a lot of money, and there was a big pile in the living room.

Song Yuanxuan handed the picture to Zhang Tongzhi, and a box of pearls to Lu Zhen, and then took a step back.

Zhang Tongzhi first glanced at the silk on one side, frowned slightly, and then unfolded the words. After a few glances, his eyes brightened, and he looked at it carefully for a long time before sighing: "It's really a good word!"

Lu Zhen opened the box, and the eight pearls were shining white light, reflecting each other, there was always a milky white halo.

"This... the pearl of the sea! Such a peerless pearl is hard to find, but you have a heart!" Lu Zhen sighed, with a bit of obsession in his eyes.

Any woman will not be able to suppress the joy in her heart when she sees such beads.

Zhang Qingning came over, and after a few glances, she shook her head and said, "Mom, what's so good about it? I don't see anything attractive about it."

"You are still young and don't understand the value of this thing. In addition to calming the nerves, it can also beautify the face. Such a bead can keep a woman from aging for several years!"

Lu Zhen sighed, thought for a while and said, "This is a gift that I cannot refuse, and I accept it."

"I can't refuse this gift from you. This is really a word that blends the past and the present. You are indeed a true calligrapher!" Zhang Tongzhi also responded, his eyes were deep.

Song Yuanxuan smiled slightly: "As long as adults like it!"

"I like the word, but you have already married a woman from the Su family, and Princess Yuhan. This is unprecedented. How do you plan to settle Qingning?"

Zhang Tongzhi's eyes were burning, and Song Yuanxuan said with a bright face: "Ping wife!"

"Ping wife? Is she inferior to the Su family girl? Even if she is not as noble as the princess, compared with the Su family girl, her status seems to be more noble!"

Zhang Tongzhi snorted, but Song Yuanxuan said neither overbearing nor humble: "Because Xuerou was the first woman to follow me, Qingning came a little later.

At that time, I started from a young age, and Xuerou never left her, if I left her, it would be unrighteous!What's more, marrying a wife has nothing to do with status. In my heart, it's only about love, not about status. "

Lu Zhen's eyes fell on his face, with a somewhat strange feeling, it was an inexplicable feeling.

But Zhang Tongzhi shook his head, and when he wanted to say something, Zhang Qingning jumped up directly: "Grandpa, I just want to marry Brother Xuan! If you don't agree, then I won't marry anyone, at worst, I will elope with Brother Xuan That's it!"

"You..." Zhang Tongzhi stared at Zhang Qingning, gritted his teeth, and looked angry.

Song Yuanxuan moved to one side, blocking Zhang Tongzhi's sight, and said softly: "My lord, Qingning has a strong temper, so don't be angry.

In fact, the younger generation doesn't care about regular wives or regular wives. If the law allows it, then all the women around me can be regular wives, but this situation is obviously impossible.

Therefore, whether the younger generation treats Qing Ning well or not has nothing to do with her identity, it only concerns love. The younger generation thinks that they will be able to accompany her to grow old, and hope that the adults will make it happen! "

Lu Zhen took a deep breath, his eyes fell on Zhang Tongzhi, and he said in a low voice: "Elder-in-law, I believe in Yuanxuan."

"It's fine if I agree, but you must also meet one of my conditions!" Zhang Tongzhi was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Before Song Yuanxuan agreed, Zhang Qingning raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa, no matter what the conditions are, I will agree for Brother Xuan!"

"Just as long as you agree, this matter is also related to you!" Zhang Tongzhi responded, but Song Yuanxuan was stunned, he knew what he wanted to say.

Zhang Tongzhi went on to say: "I hope that your first child can be named Zhang."

Song Yuanxuan took a breath, Zhang Tongzhi was understandable for doing so, he just didn't want the Zhang family to lose their incense.

Zhang Qingning's complexion changed, he glanced at Song Yuanxuan first, and then said loudly: "Grandpa, this is impossible! Brother Xuan didn't marry into our Zhang family either, how can we let the child take the mother's surname?"

"Then I can't agree to you marrying into the Song family." Zhang Tongzhi said in a deep voice, with a feeling of reluctance to compromise.

Zhang Qingning bit her lip hard, blood was seeping from her lips, and she refused to budge an inch.

Song Yuanxuan waved his hand, and said seriously: "My lord, I agree! The first child, regardless of gender, belongs to the Zhang family!"

"Okay!" Zhang Tongzhi stretched out his hand and patted the armrest of the chair, his eyes were burning, and then changed the topic: "I agree with this matter, just let me know in advance when you set a date."

Zhang Qingning waved his small fist, blushing with a bit of obsequiousness, that kind of beauty made Song Yuanxuan feel relieved, but he still looked a little unhappy when he looked at Zhang Tongzhi.

　thank you all!
