16. Jun was born, I was not born, such as March
Zhang Jin is not stupid, he naturally understands her thoughts, so he also understands what to do and what not to do. Soon after, he quit the Li family on the grounds that he wanted to concentrate on studying.
At the beginning, it was just Mrs. Li's impulse to invite her husband to teach her to read in March, but now that anger has gradually subsided, and when she saw Zhang Jin's resignation, she agreed.
Knowing this, Li March was very annoyed, and found Zhang Jin's house in a fit of anger, but the moment she stepped into Zhang Jin's yard, when she saw Zhang Jin, she wanted to hit her head to death, and she didn't understand why she chased here so cheaply.
He saw that under the grape trellis in the courtyard, his son was grinding for him, and next to him sat a woman, who seemed to be sewing clothes.
What a picture of filial piety to a wife and son.
Zhang Jin looked up and saw him, couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
She endured the sharp pain in her heart and looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Come and visit Master and Master!" ”
The woman seemed to know her, hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand, and walked over with a smile, "Presumably this is Miss Li, right?" Come on in. ”
March glanced at the woman, raised her eyebrows and smiled at Zhang Jin: "Mr. is not here, and the apprentice himself has learned a poem." ”
Zhang Jin smiled and said, "You have no teacher, I am not worthy of being your master." He bit the word master very hard, but he didn't ask which one it was.
"Master's words are tormenting the disciples, without Master, where did March come from? The word March was given by Master, so why don't you deserve March? She also learned from him and bit the word March very hard.
This was a pun, Zhang Jin's heart was shocked when he heard it, his palms were slightly sweaty, and he thought about it before he said in a deep voice: "You said that you have learned a new poem, which one is it?" ”
She hooked the corners of her mouth and said loudly: "Qingqing Zijin, take care of my heart." Even if I don't go, Zining won't make a sound? Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come? Picky and embarrassed, in the city. Not seen for a day, like March. She bit the word March very hard, and successfully made Zhang Jin frown before she continued: "But there is still something unclear, what does March mean in this poem?" Please ask Master to clarify your doubts. ”
"That's an exaggeration, one day equals three months."
March sighed and laughed a little sarcastically, "Now that I have met the master, my doubts have been solved, and the apprentice has retired." Holding back her tears, she handed him the things in her hand, "I brought some things, and I hope the master will accept them with a smile." ”
Zhang Jin looked at her with mixed emotions, wanting to say something, but did not speak. Instead, the woman took the things and said with a smile, "It's all here, it's not too late to leave after eating." ”
She looked at the woman in front of her, in her twenties, with a mediocre appearance, her eyebrows and eyes were full of cheesiness, and she also wore a pair of gold earrings with very poor workmanship on her ears.
"No need." She said lightly, turned around and left.
Zhang Jin couldn't help but take a step forward, but instead of chasing him out, he turned around and went back to the room. The woman saw all this, hooked the corners of her mouth, and carried her things into the kitchen.
So far, the two have never seen each other again, but I heard that he won the lifting of people in the township examination that year, and suddenly changed from a poor and sour show to a promising lifting man, which can be described as gratifying.
When she heard all this, she only smiled indifferently. At that time, her mother was arranging a blind date for her. The other party is the school officer of this year's Qingping Yuan examination, nearly half a hundred years old, although there is a wife in the family, but because he did not give birth to a son, he has the idea of taking a concubine. I heard that the girl of the Li family was born like a fairy, with a gentle personality and knowledgeable knowledge, so she invited a matchmaker to come to the door to kiss. Mother Li listened to the other party's family history, so she agreed, set a date, and arranged to meet.
Although he is nearly half a hundred years old, he does not look old, dressed in casual clothes, not only does not have the majesty of being a high-ranking official, but also has a very bookish atmosphere. If Zhang Jin had reached such an age, he would probably be like this. Thinking like this, she laughed unconsciously, what do you want him to do at this time?
"It's ridiculous to be a girl at my age." Rao Chengwen looked at her and smiled helplessly.
She looked up at him and smiled lightly, "You misunderstood. ”
"You don't have to explain, I'm still somewhat self-aware." He sighed and said: "I didn't want to do this, but if you don't have filial piety, there is no other way." ”
"Adults don't need to sigh after March. When you enter the door of the Rao family, you will be able to open up the branches and leaves. Mother Li smiled and hurriedly poured wine into his empty wine glass.
Rao Chengwen nodded yes, raised the wine glass and drank it all, looked at March and said: "The inner person has a gentle personality, and he will treat you well in the future, and there is a daughter in the family, who is a few years younger than you, and will be able to be your companion at that time." ”
She listened to them one by one and didn't say much. When she returned home, Li's mother was afraid that she would care about Rao Chengwen's age, so she comforted her and said that it was difficult to find a knowledgeable husband like Rao Chengwen, and seeing that he had a gentle personality, he would definitely enjoy endless glory and wealth when he married in the future. If she can give birth to a son for the Rao family, she will be like a mastermother, which is a blessing that few generations cannot cultivate.
She looked at her mother and smiled meaningfully, "Mother really found a good husband for the child. ”
Mother Li smiled and said, "Yes, if you are a step late, I don't know who will be the first." ”
"When is the wedding due?" She asked with a smile.
Mother Li couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw her daughter take the initiative to mention the marriage date, and pulled her daughter to smile happily: "I have calculated with my husband, there are no good days from this year to August next year, and it will probably be set in September." ”
She nodded thoughtfully and said yes.
"Don't worry, I won't owe you anything to your mother, and I will definitely prepare a rich dowry for you."
Still smiling and saying yes, she got up to see her mother off. After sending her mother away, she began to remove her makeup, took off the beaded flowers on her head one by one in the mirror, and looked at the extremely beautiful face in the mirror without powder, and couldn't help but smile. A good skin has such a big effect, Zhang Jincheng does not deceive her.
In a blink of an eye, it was September of the following year, and he got married in March. Although it is said to be a concubine, the other party is a member of the capital, and it is also a long-faced thing for the Li family, so it is natural to have a big banquet to invite the Quartet.
Before the Rao family arrived, she secretly slipped from the boudoir into the study of the other courtyard, where few people usually go in and out, and on this happy day, there is no one at all. Sitting under the cloister and looking at the moon gate in a daze, Zhang Jin came in from this moon gate to teach her a lesson, but she never sat here, because she could go outside to meet him. But now she didn't dare to go, because there was no longer anyone she wanted to see.
Thinking like this, my heart was full of sorrow, tears fell like beads with broken threads, and I couldn't help but hide my face and cry bitterly. She sees herself as no worse than others, and she really doesn't know why she came to such a field. was first divorced and humiliated, and now he wants to marry an old man who has half of his body into the loess as a concubine.
"Girl, why are you here? The people who greeted the relatives had already arrived outside the city. The maid hurriedly stepped forward to call her, and when she saw that her crying makeup was ruined, she exclaimed, "Why are you crying like this on a big day?" ”
She wiped a handful of tears and whispered, "It's okay, I'm just reluctant to go home." So saying, he took the maid's hand and went to the boudoir.
When she came, she walked the path, avoiding the crowd in the garden, and at this time, she was busy with makeup, so she led her on the main road, but fortunately at this time the feast was ready, and there was almost no one in the garden.
She lowered her head and hurriedly walked, when she suddenly heard someone shouting to herself, and when she looked back, it was her brother Li Xuan. He was followed by several people, and Zhang Jin was among them.
"Why are you still here? The people who greeted the relatives were almost there. Li Xuan frowned and asked.
She glanced at Zhang Jin, turned to look at her brother, and couldn't help but say angrily: "The arrival of the kiss is not the arrival of the urgency, why are you in a hurry?" ”
Li Xuan was scolded for no reason, and he was also a little angry in his heart, "I kindly remind you, what are you murderous?" ”
"I don't need you to remind me," she shook off the maid's hand, walked straight towards Zhang Jin, grabbed his hand, and said to Li Xuan and the others: "I have something to say to Mr., please avoid it." ”
"What kind of system is this?" Li Xuan said with a serious face, "Hurry up and get dressed." ”
"Li Xuan, if you don't want me to demolish you in public, please leave immediately, don't disturb me!" She looked at her brother fiercely.
"You ......"
"Shut up!" She said angrily, and as she spoke, she pulled Zhang Jin to the side.
Before she could ask him why he came, she heard him ask in a cold voice, "Why do you want to marry such a person?" ”
"I thought my husband was here to say hello to me!" She sneered.
"Why did you say yes?" He looked at her with a look of pain on his face.
"Don't you think your question is ridiculous?" She looked at him, her face was full of mockery, "If you don't marry her, will you marry you?" But you don't look down on me. Speaking of this, she couldn't help but burst into tears, "Zhang Jin, in this life, I am self-inflicted, and in the next life, don't let me meet you again!" With that, he turned and left.
Zhang Jin pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, choking up: "I'm sorry Yue'er, I'm sorry for you." ”
The moment she was hugged by him, she lost her mind for a moment, and when she reacted, she only felt that her heart was like a knife and painful, and finally she couldn't help crying: "Zhang Jin, you bastard who killed a thousand knives, why didn't you say it until now!" ”
"I don't want you to marry me and suffer, Yue'er, why are you so stupid! My Yue'er, why are you so stupid! He was also unable to control himself, and in the end he was choked up and unable to speak.
"I'm not afraid of suffering, and I'm not afraid of the world's scolding, I just want to ask you, do you dare to marry me?" She looked at him with no hesitation in her eyes.
"To be able to get Yue'er as his wife, Zhang Jin is not afraid of swords, mountains and fires, not to mention people's words." He looked at her firmly, his tone determined.
"Good! You wait for me! With that, she stood on tiptoe, imprinted a kiss on his lips and ran away.
Before he could ask what to do, the man was gone.
