Chapter 294 Zhou Pingshan's Arrogance
"It's just a scholar!" Zhou's mother said lightly, "It sounds so good, but she is just a girl who sells tofu after all. I heard that her mother is a second-married... second-married can marry an official? Who knows what twists and turns here? ?”

Zhou Pingshan's fair face turned red, and he looked at Zhou's mother disapprovingly, "Mother, that family is honest and kind, why do you say that? Besides, Dongbao's cousin is a good reader. In the future, at least she will be a juren like me, and Lin Shi, who is betrothed to her, is already a scholar, and she may be a juren at any time, in fact, her status is not much worse than ours!"

"Is she engaged?" Zhou's mother asked in surprise, her expression slowed down, "Oh, yes, she must be twelve or thirteen years old, and it's not unusual to be engaged."

Seeing that his mother's attitude towards Dongbao had improved, Zhou Pingshan breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Mother, in our Yuanshui, it is a great thing to make a juren. In the Wang family of Anzhou, whoever releases a juren In my eyes..." At this point, Zhou Pingshan grabbed Zhou's mother's hand, sighed deeply, and shook his head, "Mother, don't take your son too seriously! Otherwise, it will only be our mother and son who will make a fool of himself." .”

Zhou's mother's eyes were moist, and her expression was a little flustered, "Why can't you take you seriously? You are a Juren after all, and if you go further, you will be a Jinshi. Your maternal ancestor's family..."

Zhou Pingshan remembered that he went to the Wang family a few years ago and wanted to enter the Wang family to study, but was rejected by the Wang family. Being able to enter the Wang family school is also because he passed the examination as a scholar and has a reputation.As for the grandfather's family, it's not the orthodox direct branch of the Wang family, and it has no place to speak in front of the head of the Wang family.

Juren's name is loud and pleasant to say, but how many Jinshi have come out of the Wang family, who takes Juren seriously?It would be a joke to think that one would be complacent after being admitted to Juren.

Zhou Pingshan shook his head, "Mother, you came from the Wang family. How could you not know the status of your grandfather in the Wang family? As for the marriage you're thinking of, I think it's better to forget it."

"How can you forget it?" In this regard, Zhou's mother seemed a little stubborn, "Your status is not bad, how can you know if you don't try it?"

The son has not been engaged so far, and Zhou's mother is planning to let her son get a better grade in the exam, so that he can marry a girl from a good family, and now it's time to get engaged.

"When I was in Anzhou, I heard that Zhang Zhifu planned to marry the Wang family, and he took a fancy to the fifth son of Wang." Zhou Pingshan said lightly, "With the fifth son of Wang here, why would he like me?"

But Zhou's mother smiled happily: "You don't have to worry about it. I asked your uncle about it. Your uncle said that Wang Wugong's mother didn't like Miss Zhang Rui, otherwise she wouldn't have delayed it for so long. A quasi-belief. My son's looks and talents are no worse than that of Wang Wugong, why does Zhang Zhifu look down on you?"

"Don't talk about it, mother!" Zhou Pingshan refused flatly, thinking of Wang Wu's arrogant and proud face, he felt annoyed, not to mention that Wang Wu had humiliated him in public, Zhou Pingshan also spoke with anger, "Since you think I am not inferior to Wang Wu in appearance and talent, so why should I pick up Wang Wu?"

After all, Zhou Pingshan turned around and walked out. After a few steps, he stopped again, cupped his hands and said to Zhou's mother: "The son has lost his temper, and the mother has a lot of adults. Don't blame the son. You can look for my marriage again, but Zhang Zhifu Forget it over there, whether he wants it or not, I don't!"

After Zhou Pingshan left, Zhou's mother was so angry that she counted the string of Buddhist beads in her hand several times, but she couldn't calm down the sullenness in her chest.

Mother Zhou came over and got a cup of tea, and said in a low voice, "Ma'am, drink a cup of tea to get rid of your anger, the young master didn't mean to be angry with you. A person as young as the young master, smart and capable, naturally has to be a little arrogant. "

"I'm mad at him for being confused!" Zhou's mother took a sip of hot tea from the teacup, feeling better, and complained to Zhou's mother: "Why do you pick up the leftovers and leave nothing behind? What a rich lady said so It's ugly! Zhang Zhifu's daughter has never been engaged, and he thinks that the girl who sells tofu surnamed Song is engaged, so why does he just post it?"

Zhou's mother laughed and stroked Zhou's back, "The young master is still young, he thinks what he likes is good, and after a long time, he will know what is good."

"What's so good?" Zhou's mother said disdainfully, "I think that girl who sells tofu can't compare to Miss Zhang's family except for her good looks!"

Mother Zhou smiled from ear to ear, and persuaded: "Madam, at the young master's age, don't you only like girls with bright colors! If they look good, one is better than a hundred!"

"What's the use of being good-looking? At my age, I'm not just an old woman!" Zhou's mother muttered angrily, "Then Miss Zhang is so good, why doesn't he like her?"

Mother Zhou said: "Ma'am, I think what the young master said is reasonable. No matter how good the young lady of the Zhang family is, she wants to marry the young master of the Wang family. Even if she ends up with our young master, she might feel that she has been wronged. The couple live together for a lifetime. If there is any anger in this heart, it will be a bad thing!"

"Oh! How can I not know this truth?" Mother Zhou sighed and leaned back on the chair, remembering her son's disdain and disdain when he talked about Miss Zhang's family just now, which was completely different from when he talked about the girl selling tofu. , I just felt a headache, "I'm just angry that he put his mind on the girl who sells tofu. If he doesn't want to be good, he will go to the one who is not on the table. When I say what about that girl, look, he will eat like that." It was like a firecracker, talking back to me as a mother. Fortunately, that girl got engaged, otherwise, even if she entered the door, she would be a troublemaker, and our mother and son would be separated."

Mother Zhou twitched her lips, feeling that Madam was thinking too much. She could see clearly that Miss Song didn't care about her young master at all, and she always wanted the official lady to be her daughter-in-law. I will put my mother-in-law in my eyes.

After Dong Bao came out of Zhou's house, she let out a few breaths secretly. Zhou's mother looked at her like needles in her eyes, which made her uncomfortable for a long time, and she made up her mind that she would never come to Zhou's house again.

At the end of October, Song Zhaodi had lived in the house for more than a month, and Li Hongqin and Aunt Qiuxia had always taken turns to deliver meals to her, but this day Li Hongqin whispered to Dongbao in private, saying that Song Zhaodi couldn't eat now, There was a lot of food left over from the last time I delivered it, and I stayed on the bed all day long, not even getting out of bed.

"Is it the reaction of pregnant Mao Mao?" Dong Bao didn't understand much about this and asked.

Li Hongqin shook her head, "It's been almost six months, how can there be any reaction! She said that she has a bad stomach and won't get out of bed. I don't think so, but it seems to be bored for a long time. As soon as I go, she keeps asking me about the situation outside. thing."

"I'll find a doctor for her." Dong Bao lowered his head and thought for a while, "She is pregnant with Mao Mao now, and her body is the most important thing."

Dong Bao invited Dr. Wang, because he is an acquaintance, so there is no need to worry that Dr. Wang will gossip around.

When Song Zhaodi saw Dong Bao leading a middle-aged man into the yard, she was startled at first, but after hearing that the man was a doctor, she lost interest, and sat lazily on the bed while Dr. Wang took the pulse.

"It's all normal, and there's nothing wrong with it from the pulse." Dr. Wang smiled at Dong Bao, "I don't think you need to take the anti-fetal medicine. It's such a big month. Just relax and eat well."

When Dr. Wang left, Dong Bao looked at Song Zhaodi who was still lazily lying on the bed, frowned and said, "What are you doing all day? How can you lie on the bed all day while pregnant? Where did you come from when you were born?" strength?"

Song Zhaodi glanced at Dong Bao unexpectedly, lowered her head and muttered in a low voice, "You really know a lot!"

Dong Bao didn't hear what Song Zhaodi was muttering, and he wasn't interested in knowing, so he said, "Take good care of yourself, you still have to eat, if there is anything you want to eat, just tell the person who delivered the food, and you can get it." I will make it for you, not for your sake, but for the sake of the child in your stomach, you should eat more."

Song Zhaodi felt upset when she thought of the child in her stomach. The father of the child was not the noble son of Qingzhou, but a fraudster. How could she be in the mood to give birth to a fraudster? When she thought of the situation she had fallen into because of this fraudster, she felt so upset. I wish I didn't have this child in my stomach.

"Dong Bao, what happened to that... that person pretending to be Wang Lang...?" Song Zhaodi asked tentatively.

It's Wang Lang again... Dong Bao is about to be defeated by Song Zhaodi's disgust.

"I don't know." Dong Bao shook his head, "Either his head was beheaded or he was exiled." After the words came out, Dong Bao thought it would be better to give Song Zhaodi some hope. How could that person be the child's father, so he said : "Perhaps they were exiled. I heard that unless they are big treacherous and evil people, they are all exiled to the northwest to do hard work, and they are still alive."

"Whether he lives or dies is none of my business!" Song Zhaodi curled her lips. The exiled person can't come back for life, and can only do hard labor until death. The most important thing is that person has no money, so he can't lead her to live a good life.

Dong Bao was really speechless. Since Song Zhaodi was fine, she didn't have to worry about anything, and said directly to Song Zhaodi, "I'll go first, take care." In fact, Dong Bao didn't think anything would happen to Song Zhaodi, the peasant girl is in good health It is recognized that in her previous life she often saw news on the Internet that girls in their teens could give birth in the toilet, and there was no pressure to go to gym class and run on the horizontal bar before giving birth. Most of the pregnant women are elderly women who missed the best time for their health and only conceived a child in their thirties.

"Hey, wait!" Seeing that Dong Bao was about to leave, Song Zhaodi stopped Dong Bao.

Dong Bao stopped and asked her, "What else do you need?"

Song Zhaodi looked at Dong Bao, probably because Dong Bao had a very kind attitude today, she summoned up her courage, bit her lip and said, "I want to go out."
