Chapter 17: A Wonderful Beginning
Zhang Zhijie, who wanted to say goodbye after dinner, was left behind by Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Zhijie sighed resignedly, this matter has been impeached by the imperial history book, and it is difficult for the family not to know.
Mrs. Zhang sent the maids out, and Zhang Zhijie stood there with his head down, lamenting in his heart what is this called, the mutton was not eaten, but he made a commotion.
Mrs. Zhang said earnestly: "Baoyu, my mother has no objection to you making friends, but you have to be cautious in making friends, and you can't make some indiscriminate friends and take you to the ditch." You're still young, don't get involved in some bad things. ”
Zhang Zhijie hurriedly admitted his mistake and said: "Mother, I know it's wrong, and I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." Seeing Zhang Zhijie's sincere face, Mrs. Zhang thought that he had indeed acted steadily in the recent past, and he had made a mistake for a while, and now she should understand.
Mrs. Zhang said softly: "You are still young, and it is inevitable that there will be times when you make mistakes, and if you have mistakes, you will change." Those places are disgusting and nasty, and you don't have to dirty yourself. ”
Mrs. Zhang paused and said, "Juan'er has been serving you for several years, gentle and considerate, I have always seen it in my eyes." I'll point her to you as a roommate." ”
Zhang Zhijie was immediately stunned when he heard this, and shouted in his heart to be so exaggerated! I'm still too young, and I still have to take care of my body, so it's hard to restrain it, how can I hold it like this!
Zhang Zhijie blushed when he heard this and said, "Mother, how old am I?" It's too early, isn't it? Mrs. Zhang waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, it's not too early, go and rest!" ”
Zhang Zhijie went out with a bang, and Juan'er was waiting with Cuimo with a red face. Along the way, Zhang Zhijie didn't know what to say, Juan'er knew that Mrs. Zhang left Zhang Zhijie and Zhang Zhijie must have said that she would take her into the house, and when she saw Zhang Zhijie's embarrassed face, it was difficult to speak.
Let's say that Zhang Zhijie went back to the courtyard and was waiting to be washed, and Master Zhang was coming back drunk from outside. Mr. Zhang leaned on the kang, Mrs. Zhang brought a cup of hot tea, Mr. Zhang took a few sips, sobered up and asked, "Where is Baoyu?" ”
Mrs. Zhang replied, "I have already returned to the courtyard." Master, now I am in charge of giving Baoyu's eldest maid Juan'er to Baoyu. ”
Master Zhang thought for a while and said, "Oh, because of Baoyu's visit to the building? Marry him a daughter-in-law, if you have the energy to go shopping in the building, it is better to let him devote his energy to his daughter-in-law, and give birth to a grandson to Lao Tzu soon. ”
Mrs. Zhang replied with a smile: "Originally, it was also the age to say goodbye, so I had to take a look at him slowly and find a proper one, but it wasn't so fast." ”
Master Zhang nodded and said, "Don't be too picky, just be a good person, just give birth and raise." Mrs. Zhang was noncommittal, and thought to herself, I am such a son, I can't wronged him, I have to have a good temperament and family background, and of course I have to be a good man to have a good birth and a good man.
After cleaning up, Zhang Zhijie was lying on the bed in a daze, thinking about things in a daze, and his heart was also confused. There was only Juan'er in the room, and Juan'er's heart was beating badly. Thinking of the shameful people that Zheng's mother pulled to teach her today, Juan'er felt that her legs were soft and her face was burning.
Zhang Zhijie snorted and said angrily: "I'm sleepy, go to sleep." Juan'er's face was crimson, happy and afraid, and she secretly said in her heart: "Are you here?!" Is it coming?! ”
Juan'er took off Zhang Zhijie's clothes with trembling hands, Zhang Zhijie got into the quilt, and then, no more. Juan'er was stunned, it's different from what Zheng's mother said, she didn't do anything to herself, how can she be obedient? Could it be that the wife didn't tell the second master that she was the person in the room? It shouldn't be, didn't Mrs. leave Zhang Zhijie behind to say this?
Zhang Zhijie was confused and sounded as if there was a sobbing sound, could it be in a dream? No, I'm awake, Zhang Zhijie opened his eyes, is it haunted? I just wanted to shout "Sister Juan'er", but suddenly realized that it seemed to be from outside.
Zhang Zhijie got up quietly and came to the outside room, if it was usual, Juan'er would have been awakened a long time ago. Seeing Juan'er sobbing alone under the quilt through the moonlight, Zhang Zhijie wondered what was wrong?
Zhang Zhijie walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and Juan'er felt it. lifted the quilt, wiped his tears, and sobbed: "Woke up the second master?" ”
Zhang Zhijie asked: "What's the matter?" What can you tell me? Juan'er dodged her eyes and said, "No, it's nothing?" ”
Zhang Zhijie knew that he couldn't ask like this, so his face sank and he said coldly: "Say!" Juan'er sobbed and said aggrievedly: "Does the second master hate Juan'er very much?" Can't Juan'er get into the eyes of the second master like this? ”
Zhang Zhijie smiled dumbly and said, "So that's the case?" My wife told you about the house? Zhang Zhijie stretched out a hand to hold Juan'er's hand and said, "Sister Juan'er, you have been by my side and taken care of me all these years, how can you have no feelings for you?" What's more, Sister Juan'er is so beautiful and gentle, I naturally like it in my heart. ”
Juan'er listened to Zhang Zhijie's words, and then burst into tears and smiled: "Then why are you, second master?" Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Let me tell you, I didn't go to the Qinglou last night." Juan'er exclaimed: "Huh? Zhang Zhijie said embarrassedly: "When I first started drinking, I hugged and hugged, but then I drank a little too much, and Xu Guangmian was gone, and the girl untied my clothes, and I ran away in fear." ”
Juan'er said happily: "I misunderstood the second master." Zhang Zhijie smiled helplessly: "It's not a misunderstanding, I didn't touch other girls, who would believe it?" ”
Juan'er blushed and twisted: "The second master, the wife's orders?" ”
I am a stylish person, how can I be a person who is inferior to a beast! Is there any reason to refuse? Zhang Zhijie sighed secretly, temperance, must be temperance!
Juan'er closed her eyes nervously, and a feeling of joy and satisfaction arose. It's finally a positive result, yes, is there a better result for a maid? No, that's for the best!
Wushan clouds and rain, insufficient with outsiders. On this moonlit night in spring, the sixteen-year-old girl Juan'er finally completed her transformation from a girl to a woman.
Looking at Zhang Zhijie, who was sweating profusely beside her, Juan'er endured the pain in her body, got up and cleaned up, and then lay down satisfied. It was a wonderful start for her, and her life was one person from then on.
