Chapter 225 Ancient World 42: Merger and Separation

Zhang Songlan's family members were also very supportive. The capital city was in turmoil right now, and it would be a blessing if they could stay away from it.

What's more, they married their daughter off to a lower class because they had no intention of helping her to become successful. They just wanted her to live a safe and smooth life.

Now that the family can retreat at this moment, it is a happy thing to leave quietly at this time!

As for Zuo Zhizhi, she was absolutely in favor of this matter.

Not to mention how beautiful the scenery outside is, just the fact that you have greater autonomy when you are away from home is attractive enough.

After all, my father is an official in another place, and my mother is also a leader in the local social circle. In this case, it is easy for me to disguise myself and go out to play.

You know, in the capital, I wouldn't even dare to think about this.

If a plaque falls from the capital, it may hit several royal relatives and nobles, and there is no way to know who not to offend.

It would be terrible if you offend someone you can't afford to offend.

As long as you are careful when you are in a foreign place, nothing will go wrong!

Four years passed in a flash, and Zuo Zhizhi and her family finally returned to the capital.

There was no other way. On the one hand, my father's term of office had expired and he was now transferred to the capital, so naturally the whole family had to follow him back.

My brother and sister-in-law can stay outside, but I heard that his political achievements are quite good, so I'm afraid he will be transferred to the capital soon.

No matter what, my sister-in-law comes from a family of scholars and noble people, so it is impossible for her to let her child live away from home all his life.

As for Zuo Zhizhi, her problem was even more serious. She had been staying outside for the past few years and had no time to return to Beijing. It wouldn't have been a big problem, but the problem was that Zuo Zhizhi was about to reach the age of marriage.

There was no problem with the ordinary coming-of-age ceremony, but getting married was a lifelong commitment. Although Zuo Zhizhi was willing to find a family in the place where her father worked, her parents firmly disagreed.

My father went out to serve as an official this time, on the one hand to avoid the struggles in the court, and on the other hand to accumulate merits.

When the time comes, they will naturally be transferred to the capital. They will definitely not stay outside forever.

But if Zuo Zhizhi married here, she would settle down there for the rest of her life and would probably never have the chance to return to the city.

Although this is not a big deal in modern times, in ancient times, the emperor was far away and marrying here alone, even if you had a prominent family background, you would only live a hard life after your family left!

Although Zuo Zhizhi thought that she would never be afraid, she naturally gave up the idea when she saw that her parents were very worried about her.

It just so happens that I am not too old, so although I met someone a little late, it is normal.

After the family rested, the father was busy going to court to handle his own tasks, while the mother quickly discussed with her sister and prepared to see if there were any good people around who could show Zuo Zhizhi.

After all, the coming-of-age ceremony is coming soon. If I can check it out in advance, His Majesty will not match me up with you randomly.

They will never forget that four years ago, the emperor arbitrarily arranged marriages, which created several pairs of unhappy couples. Although they had royal marriages, no one dared to divorce or marry someone else, and most of them lived unhappy lives.

Although the current situation is not clear, we naturally need to prepare for the future in advance.

The current emperor is old, but not dead.

Therefore, Zuo Zhizhi did not need to be shy, as the coming-of-age ceremony was quite grand.

On the one hand, I have not been in the capital for a long time. If I don’t take this opportunity to publicize it, I am afraid that people will not even remember that I exist.

By then, there will be even fewer options to choose from.

On the other hand, it is also a statement that their family has returned to the capital. Although the family has not been in the capital for a long time, with the Fifth Princess as a relative, naturally countless people are thinking about them.

Her originally loose hair was tied up in front of the guests by several familiar noble ladies. Deng Zijin also personally inserted a hairpin into her hair to indicate that the child had reached adulthood.

Those who didn't know much about this naturally began to inquire. Apart from anything else, being able to become a relative of the emperor was already very good.

As for those who are already well-off, they naturally have no such plans. Those who occasionally have ideas have already looked at it in advance.

Zuo Zhizhi didn't take this matter to heart. She just waited for her mother and sister to hand over the list to her. It didn't make much difference anyway. If she really didn't like them, she could just get rid of them!

However, for the sake of a harmonious life in the future, Zuo Zhizhi still tactfully put forward her own opinions, such as she only wanted to marry the second son, especially the one who could divide the family property by marrying into the mansion!

Although there are not many such candidates, it is not uncommon to find them if you look carefully in the capital.

After entrusting her marriage entirely to others, Zuo Zhizhi began to ask her former friends about their recent situation.

To be honest, the most praised thing in the past few years is the divorce between the Sixth Prince and his Princess!

Zuo Zhizhi really didn't know that Su Yun could actually divorce a royal descendant in a royal society.

But it's easy to imagine that she must have paid a huge price, even to the point of desperate struggle, to have the opportunity she has now.

There is no way, the imperial power is supreme, it is so unreasonable!

In fact, although everyone had heard about this matter, no one said anything about it on the surface.

Apart from some rumors that the two had divorced, there were no specific rumors.

It was naturally impossible for the Sixth Prince to tell this matter in public. As for the Sixth Princess, she had completely disappeared after that, so naturally she had no chance to speak out.

This incident shocked Su Qianqian even more. You have to know that this is the heroine of a time-travel novel. She got divorced not long after getting married and is now missing. It is even a question whether she is still alive!

It's really horrible. A woman who was originally so bright and cheerful tortured herself beyond recognition after several years of marriage. In order to get rid of the previous shackles, she chose divorce, and now she is almost losing her life!

Of course, due to the royal majesty, this matter was not discussed openly.

However, the Sixth Prince has already married a new princess, so the matter has been settled. Either the couple has divorced, or the princess is dead.

However, the Sixth Prince's Mansion has not yet announced the death, so everyone can only acquiesce to the fact that divorce is almost impossible.

Zuo Zhizhi really couldn't understand it, but she was a little curious about where Su Yun was now.

There hasn't been any news since the two of them divorced. Is he alive or dead? There must be an explanation!

However, everyone just kept the rumors as rumors, and no one dared to ask too openly, for fear of arousing the royal family's taboos.

Therefore, it can only be discussed in private.

Zuo Zhizhi also asked several friends around her and only then did she know the truth of the matter.

Everyone felt extremely sorry for Su Yun.

Especially since he was incredibly talented back then, but now his life or death is unknown, it is really sad!
