The ban was finally lifted.
Chang 'an City once again returned to its usual hustle and bustle. However, this hustle and bustle hid a lot of fear.
Yesterday's incident left a deep impression on everyone. A group of rebels actually rioted right under the emperor's nose, tricking them into robbing the emperor's goods!
What was this?
This was a capital crime that would send them to hell!
At this moment, the eyes of all the people in Chang 'an City turned red. As they walked on the streets, their eyes seemed to be filled with something. They felt that everything they saw was a rebel.
At this moment, those who were usually sloppy or those whose families were relatively well-off could not sit still. They always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at them from behind all the time.
Tonghui Fang was located in an ordinary house on the right side of the intersection of Changxing Market.
On one side of the market, there was a dessert shop called Yixin Dessert. This dessert shop was quite famous in Chang 'an City. It was loved by the ladies of noble families and the people on the street.
Every day, when the market opened, there would be a large group of children at the entrance. They would stare at the shop eagerly and sniff the smell of the desserts floating in the air from time to time.
Every time this happened, a young maid in the shop would bring some broken desserts that could not be sold and distribute them to the crowd. Only then would the crowd disperse in satisfaction.
However, today, Yixin Dessert Shop was not open!
Why?
Because yesterday, the little maidservant picked up a hairpin from who knows where!
Moreover, it was an emerald green hairpin. It was said to be from Zhenla. It was one of the goods this time!
At this moment, everyone in the house panicked.
The owner of the house was surnamed Zhang. He was an honest businessman and had a kind personality. However, when he found out about this, he went to the yamen with his maidservant. However, it had been two hours and no one had come back!
The family head's wife was anxious.
This time, it was really a big deal. She heard that a lot of people were arrested yesterday. If something happened to the master, what would happen to the family?
Just as the family head's wife did not know what to do …
An old woman in Zhang Mansion whispered to Zhang Liushi, "Grandmother, don't worry!"
"Have you forgotten that Old Madam Wang came to propose marriage a few days ago?"
"That old Elementary Scholar is experienced and knowledgeable. He's not a bad choice. I've also heard from the people in the streets that the future son-in-law is a great philanthropist, a great talent!"
Zhang Liushi's face was full of worry.
"Aiyo, Old Woman Cui, can't you just say what you want to say? Right now, even Old Master doesn't know what's going on. Will he be punished? Why are you talking about this? "
The old woman said with a smile, "Grandma, you've wronged me! We are all women, so we don't have anyone to make the decision. However, if we ask the old scholar to look for the son-in-law, on the one hand, we can see if the son-in-law can handle this matter properly, and see if he is really talented. When the time comes for the young miss to marry into the family, you can rest assured, right? "
"On the other hand, I heard that young master …"
"That's enough. We haven't even started dating yet, and you're already calling him son-in-law?"
Although Zhang Liushi was scolding, she glanced at the ear in the crack of the door in the inner room and felt as if she had eaten honey in her heart.
"Well, quickly go find the old scholar and tell him everything about the family. As a matchmaker, if he doesn't do his best, then the old scholar will miss my daughter!"
"Mother —!"
"This … I, I mean, can you let Cui 'er go with you? It's not convenient for me to go out, but Cui 'er can help us to see if that Zhang Feng is really like what the rumors say. "
At this moment.
A woman in a pink gauze dress, whose face was as red as a peeled egg, hurried out of the inner room and said timidly.
The woman's name was Zhang Yuyao. She was very beautiful and charming, and all the neighbors were praising her. She was more beautiful than the person in the painting, and even more attractive than that Hu Ji.
Her big eyes were watery, and people couldn't help but fall into them. Her body was not plump, but not thin. Although she was only 17 years old, she should be quite perky, more perky than ordinary girls. Because of this, since she was 12 years old, Zhang Yuyao's father and mother strictly forbade her to take a step out of the house.
Unless it was necessary, she was not allowed to take a step out of the door. Therefore, she could recite the Four Books and Five Classics, and the female rules written by the Empress.
If she went out, the door of the Zhang family would be kicked down, not to mention that there were four big devils in Chang 'an City. If she was targeted by them, how could she survive?
But a few days ago, when Grandma Cui went out to buy groceries, she happened to chat with the old scholar. The old scholar tricked her and used a piece of jerky to trick her into telling him about Zhang Yuyao's situation.
Then, there was the matter of Grandma Wang's visit.
At this time, Zhang Yuyao knew about Zhang Feng.
Both families were surnamed Zhang. At first, Zhang Yuyao's father refused, but after learning about Zhang Feng's deeds and the old scholar's recitation of the poem Zhang Feng had recited, Zhang Yuyao's father agreed as if he was possessed!
These few lines of the poem were also heard by Zhang Yuyao, who was hiding behind the door and eavesdropping. She was instantly shocked. After learning that Zhang Feng was only 20 years old and was unusually handsome, she couldn't help but admire him.
At this time, when she saw that her mother was going to test Zhang Feng, she couldn't help but jump out.
Zhang Liushi smiled bitterly, "A grown girl can't be kept at home! Okay, okay, let Cui go with her. Remember, bring some snacks! "
