Zhang Jiatian left his hands empty, asked Ma Yongkun to find a flat burden, followed him with a big bag and a small wrap behind him, and went to visit Lin Yannong.
The big bag and small package are full of New Year's goods, because Zhang Jiatian plans to stop coming after reading this time this year--what does he always come over to do when he has nothing to do? Not to mention that it is not an ordinary widow, if he can come up with a good plan, he will send the widow out of the country long ago. According to his opinion, this Ms. Lin can go wherever she likes, and she should not have anything to do with herself anyway.
Ma Yongkun's home is three small rooms with a small courtyard. Zhang Jiatian remembered that his house was three or five times more broken than his old house in the capital, who knew that as soon as he entered the door this time, he saw that the yard was cleaned up clearly, and the doors and window frames of the house were all repainted, embedded with shiny window panes. The people in the room saw the situation in the courtyard clearly through the glass window, and immediately pushed the door to greet them: "Master Zhang!
When Zhang Jiatian didn't see Lin Yannong, he thought she was a trouble, and he didn't have a good impression at all; now that he saw her bright and bright face, and listened to her sweet call to himself, his heart had a tendency to soften, and he thought that it was understandable that she escaped from the Lei Mansion, and she didn't elope to steal people to raise a man, and she shouldn't treat her as a bad person.
"Mrs. Third Aunt. He nodded at her: "It's the New Year, come and see you." โ
Lin Yannong immediately frowned and pursed her red mouth: "Don't call me that, I just ran out desperately not to be the third aunt's wife." After saying this, she raised the curtain of the cotton door high: "Please go inside, it's not too far from the capital, why is it so cold?"
Zhang Jiatian stepped into the house, and saw that although the house had not been re-pasted, a few new pieces of furniture had been added, and the old furniture was also spotlessly clean, and a flower cloth was also covered on the table as a tablecloth, looking very modern and civilized.
"Probably the capital is just as cold. He replied unintentionally: "This is the weather this winter." โ
Lin Yannong pulled out a chair and invited him to sit down, and personally poured hot tea for him and grabbed melon seeds: "Senior Commander Zhang, congratulations, I heard that you have won several big battles?"
Zhang Jiatian nodded with a smile, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Lin Yannong also sat down opposite him: "Although I am a woman, I know a little bit about things outside. The enemies you have defeated in these battles are a thorn in his side. This time he knows, he must reward you greatly, right?"
Zhang Jiatian heard her mention "him", and immediately straightened his face, saying that he was not interested in chewing Lei Duli's tongue behind her back: "This is my duty, and it is natural to do a good job." โ
Lin Yannong tilted her head to look at him, her eyes smiling. Previously, she saw that Zhang Jiatian was just a handsome young man, but after a few months, she found that Zhang Jiatian had grown up, had style and style, and even the appearance of saying big things in an official tone was also very attractive.
Zhang Jiatian was unnatural by her, so he asked without words: "Are you still used to living here?"
"Alas, aren't all the same things that are not used to it? There is no place for me outside, and I have no way out. โ
"Don't you want to go to the south? Nanjing, Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou, aren't they all good places?"
Lin Yannong smiled and showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth: "Are you with me?"
"I'm telling you to be serious, don't be kidding. Governor Lei will never send eyeliner to Jiangnan, you can definitely be free when you get there!"
Lin Yannong shook his head: "I'm not going, I don't dare to go." โ
"Why? If you don't have any money, I'll send you a coil. โ
"I'm rich!" she said in a delicate voice, "I didn't run out with my bare hands, I took all my body with me." This money is my lifeline, and I am afraid that I will have to rely on it for the rest of my life. So I was so tired of all this money that I didn't dare to go anywhere. Do you think that if a little woman like me has taken money to a place where I am not familiar with life, what should I do if my money is robbed by the bad guys?
"What about your mother's family? Your own father and mother can't ignore you, right?"
Lin Yannong smiled bitterly: "Senior Zhang, do you know what I do at home?"
"I don't know. Aren't you just a normal family at home?"
"You listened to what Chun Hao said? I said this to Chun Hao, and even Lei Yiming thought so, thinking that I was a girl from a small family, and my family could not sustain itself in Beijing, so I was anxious to use the money to go back to my hometown in the south, so he married me off as a concubine. Actually, there are lies here, and I ...... at home Not a very innocent person. โ
Speaking of this, Lin Yannong blushed slightly, but still continued. Zhang Jiatian listened quietly, and then he knew her origin. It turned out that Lin Yannong's maiden family was originally a family that relied on her daughter to eat. At first, Lin Yannong's sister was sold into the Hutong class by her father, and Lin Yannong was the little sister in her sister's room, doing some odd jobs of serving tea and water. The woman in Fireworks Alley is no more than three years young, her sister is gradually losing her value, and she is already an adult. But before the Lin family's father and mother and the old bustard could negotiate the conditions for selling their bodies, someone suddenly sent a message, saying that Lei Du wanted to ask a young and beautiful girl to be the third aunt's wife. The father and mother of the Lin family remembered that Lin Yannong was just the right age, and fortunately she was still a big girl with yellow flowers, so they tried their best to introduce her out, and they got their wish and earned 20,000 yuan from these two daughters.
When Lin Yannong said this, he asked Zhang Jiatian: "Senior Zhang, do you still dare to recognize such a father and mother? I am only in my twenties now, which is enough for them to sell again." โ
Zhang Jiatian was angry when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to find out the old couple of the Lin family and beat them up: "You can't go back! If you go back, you won't be able to keep your money and freedom." You've worked so hard for so many years!"
Lin Yannong sighed: "Senior Zhang, I'm not a restless person. If you are a concubine, you will be a concubine, and there are many women in the world who are little wives, don't they also eat and sleep like this?, but ah......" She shook her head: "Actually, when I saw Lei Yiming for the first time, I was also very happy in my heart." I always thought that the people who were the overseers were old men, but I didn't know that he was so young and so beautiful. I still think that this time I have finally come to the end of my hardships and be blessed. โ
Speaking of this, she smiled at Zhang Jiatian again. This smile is very festive, but Zhang Jiatian saw it in his eyes and only felt that she was smiling, more pitiful than the crying face.
"Don't tell me about you and Dashuai. He waved his hand at her: "I will listen to what I should hear, and I will never listen to what I should not hear." I understand your situation thoroughly. Anyway, if you want to stay, you can stay, and if you stay, it's just to occupy a few houses to live in, and it won't get in my way. When you have enough to stay one day and want to leave, tell me in advance, and I will give you a travel fee. But I'm sorry to say this, so if you want to live, you can live quietly, but don't make a noise The whole world knows. Okay, okay?"
Lin Yannong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have taken everything you told me to heart." But I also have a small request. โ
"You say, what do you want?"
"I ask Master Zhang to come and sit with me often when he has nothing to do. I may be embarrassed by saying this, but I don't have any friends in this Wen County, except for Adjutant Ma, who often comes to visit me. I see you from time to time, just like I'm back in Beijing again, and like I'm playing with Chunhao again. Speaking of this, she suddenly changed the subject: "Master Zhang, I know you are good to Chun...... Hee-hee-hee!"
She pointed at Zhang Jiatian with her index finger and smiled evilly. Zhang Jiatian understood what she meant, but he couldn't laugh: "I'm still like that with Chunhao, she lives her life, and I live my life." โ
"And when are you going to propose to her?"
"What kind of marriage proposal! She didn't take a fancy to me at all, and I was cheeky enough to propose, didn't I feel uncomfortable?"
"Just kidding! You've become a master, and she still doesn't look down on you?"
"What's wrong with the division commander? The division commander is not the emperor!"
Lin Yannong nodded and smiled at him: "It's not necessary to be an emperor, and now there is no emperor, I think, it is enough for you to be a governor." โ
"You used to be in the same place as Chun, and you heard her say such things?"
"She, when she mentions marriage, she is full of not marrying and not marrying. I don't know if she's really not marrying or not. Speaking of this, she laughed again: "I don't have the ability to earn food, so I can only get married, I don't know what the girls who have entered the school think." โ
Zhang Jiatian didn't speak for a long time, and finally took off his military hat and scratched the back of his head, he put the military hat back on, and at the same time held back a sentence: "I don't know what she thinks." โ
