Chapter 15 Afraid that you are too good

The paper was still crumpled, as if it had been balled up.

"Aunt Bai, why do you want me to see your portrait?"

"Mrs. Hou, this is the painting by the third young master Zhang Hongze." Aunt Bai replied weakly, feeling a little timid for no reason, but for the sake of her child, she still opened her mouth and said: "Mrs. Hou, the third young master is not young anymore.

, I want to find him a husband."

Mrs. Hou didn't believe what she heard, as if hearing a big joke, she smiled and said: "Aunt Bai, don't be joking. Everyone knows the situation of the Third Young Master, how could they draw a portrait of you?"

"Mrs. Hou, this portrait was indeed painted by the third young master, and the third young lady also knows it." Aunt Bai quickly explained, for fear that Mrs. Hou would not believe it.

She didn't think Mrs. Hou's suspicion was wrong. It was normal to have such suspicion. After all, Zhang Hongze's situation was obvious to everyone.

He has never even attended family dinners. Aunt Bai is afraid that he will lose his etiquette and go crazy again.

Mrs. Hou kept staring at her. After hearing her explanation, she looked at Aunt Bai's portrait in her hand.

"Aunt Bai, it's okay to hire a gentleman, but you have to think carefully. I'm afraid the situation of the Third Young Master can't be hidden." Mrs. Hou thought about it for a while, whether it's better to hire a gentleman or spend money to buy Aunt Bai's peace,

Secondly, the reputation of the Third Young Master can be extended to others, so why not do it.

In this case, she didn't stop her and just let her think about it on her own. She said everything that needed to be said and saved herself from resenting herself in the future.

"Mrs. Hou is joking. No matter how bad the third son is, he is still the son of the Marquis. Even if outsiders talk too much, they don't dare to talk in front of the Hou Mansion."

Mrs. Hou nodded, feeling that what she said made some sense, but what's the use? Outsiders have a clear mind and would talk too much in private if they didn't talk about it in the Hou's house.

"I'll look for him. The Third Young Master is in a special situation, so it's probably not easy to find him." Mrs. Hou thought, who would be willing to teach such a person? It's just a waste of time.

Aunt Bai thought the same thing. The third young master's situation might not be easy for him to find. She had already planned a countermeasure before he came.

"Mrs. Hou, I am willing to spend half of my monthly salary to hire a husband for the Third Young Master. I believe there must be someone willing to pay so much money."

Mrs. Hou looked up to Aunt Bai, and she was willing to spend half of her monthly salary to hire a husband for the Third Young Master. This was quite a lot. Not to mention one gentleman, three gentlemen were enough to hire her.

"Okay, let's do as you say."

Aunt Bai thanked Mrs. Hou profusely and would not disturb her rest. She walked out of the yard with a smile on her face.

Mrs. Hou looked at the portrait in her hand and said to Jingdan: "Is this painting really made by the Third Young Master?"

"I don't know." Jingdan couldn't answer. She wasn't following the Third Young Master either. Naturally, she didn't know.

"If it is really what the Third Young Master did, it would be troublesome." Mrs. Hou frowned and said.

"Madam, what are you worried about?"

"If the third young master recovers from his illness, I'm afraid that the eldest young master will not be able to compare with him." Mrs. Hou was still a little worried. She knew that her son's talent was average, but he only gained his fame through hard study.

The third son, Zhang Hongze, was able to draw such a similar portrait despite no one to teach him in Aunt Bai's courtyard. This shows that in terms of talent, the third son is superior to his eldest son.

In addition, although the eldest lady was named the Princess of Chang'an, she has no chance to be with the royal family anymore. Her marriage will have to be considered in the future, and the third lady, Zhang Anchu, must be sent to the palace according to the wishes of the Marquis. So, no matter what happens to Zhang Anchu,

In this way, her marriage is better than Zhang Anxian's.

If this continues, how can she not be worried?

"Madam, you are worrying too much. The eldest son is a man who knows how to make progress. He is already a Jinshi. He will definitely be a top scholar next time. From now on, when he enters the court, he will be an official. He no longer has a title in the Houfu. How can he be a lunatic?

How can a fool compare? In the situation of the Third Young Master, it is impossible for him to become an official in the court. He has not said a word yet, so why would the court want a mute to be an official?" Jing Dan reassured.

Mrs. Hou nodded, thinking that what she said was true. Zhang Hongze was already twelve years old, and he had not spoken a word yet, and he probably would never speak in the future. No matter how talented he was, he could not become an official and would have no future.

words.

But then he thought about it and asked doubtfully: "In that case, why did Aunt Bai ask for a husband for him? No matter how hard you teach him, he won't be able to become an official."

Some doubts arose in Jingdan's heart, but they soon dissipated and she said, "Aunt Bai probably still has hope."

"Haha..." Mrs. Hou felt a little ridiculous, and even thought that Aunt Bai's thinking was too simple. If Zhang Hongze could be normal, he would have been normal a long time ago. How could he be normal just by finding a husband?

Even though it was getting late, Aunt Bai had settled the matter of Zhang Hongze's invitation to his husband. She was in a really good mood. She wanted to find Zhang Anchu to share the joy at this moment, so she and her maid hurried to her yard.

"Chu Chu, Mrs. Hou agreed to hire a husband for your brother." Aunt Bai entered the room and said happily.

Zhang Anchu stood up from his desk and asked, "Really?"

"Well, no matter what, Mrs. Hou has never treated you harshly. If your brother hadn't been ill, he would probably have gone to a private school with the eldest son." Aunt Bai said.

On this point, Aunt Bai still agrees with this Mrs. Hou. Although she has not sold herself out, nor has she lost her happiness, she will never treat her children harshly.

The smile on Zhang Anchu's face dropped. Not being in her own position, Aunt Bai probably wouldn't be able to feel the same way.

Indeed, Mrs. Hou did a good job in not treating her harshly.

But others will not be any better. If they are nicer to you, they must have a purpose.

For example, she learned to dance with a purpose. For example, the female teacher had been unwilling to teach other things, and she later let the female teacher slip out of her mouth. These were all Mrs. Hou's words, and the female teacher did not dare to teach more.

Zhang Anchu guessed that she was afraid that you would be bad, but also afraid that you would be too good. This was Mrs. Hou's mentality.

Therefore, she couldn't say she didn't like Mrs. Hou, nor could she say she disliked him, but she just respected her and kept her distance.

In this prince's house, the one who treats me best is Aunt Bai. She really cares about herself, but she can't influence anyone with her words. Aunt Bai can only treat Zhang Anchu well within her scope.

"Maybe." Zhang Anchu sat down, and unknowingly, she felt that Aunt Bai had changed at this moment.

It seems that I have become accustomed to life in the Marquis Mansion, accustomed to being peaceful and humble, just like a servant who still needs to be grateful to his master.

"I don't have anything else to do. I just want to tell you that it's so late and you should lie down. Auntie will go back first." Aunt Bai said with the smile on her face not stopping.

"Okay, watch the road clearly and walk slowly."
