Chapter 11: Preparation I

A burst of rain and wind softened, and the sound of breaking on the window lattice was like gongs and drums, and it was rare to have a heavy rain in early autumn, accompanied by a cold wind. The people in the room lazily lay on the chaise longue, and subconsciously pinched a fruit and stuffed it into their mouths. The nurse rushed into the yard with a big oil-paper umbrella, and a few little girls tidied up their clothes and hair, and only entered the inner room after a while. Mama Dou finally completed the task and went back to the palace, so that she could have a good rest, naturally how comfortable she was. The nurse saw her girl's red lips chewing the fruit, and walked over with a look of pity, and said distressedly: "Girl, you should get married the day after tomorrow, how can you lie down like this, what if you let others see it?"

Zhang Erzhen pinched the fruit in her jade hand and put it in her mouth, and said casually: "Nurse, it's only been a few days since you were comfortable, and you won't be in the future." ”

The nurse sighed, "It's good that the girl knows." "The rules of the palace are big, but they are not as comfortable as at home," the slave maid just came from Zhenghui Courtyard, the lady is ready, the dowry list is listed, the little girls in our courtyard are all going to accompany the girl into the palace, as for Mama Hua, ......" The nurse looked embarrassed, Zhang Erzhen said softly: "You tell Mama Hua, I don't complain about her." If she doesn't want to follow us to the palace, just stay in the palace, I'll tell my mother. ”

The nurse helped gather the blanket on Zhang Erzhen's body, sat on the round stool next to the bed and said, "Grandma came out so easily, so naturally I don't want to go back." But she was reluctant to let the girl go, and said that she wanted to go with her. ”

Marrying into the royal family is no better than the rich businessmen outside, and the number of dowries is fixed, Zhang Erzhen smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already arranged it?"

The nurse nodded: "Yes, Mama is also thinking about the girl." ”

It doesn't matter whether Mama Hua thinks about her or Zhu Youji, and she was a little annoyed at the beginning, Zhang Erzhen said: "If Mama Hua can go, I'm very happy." The nurse breathed a sigh of relief, when she and Mama Hua saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together, she was very excited, but she did not agree with His Royal Highness the Prince's intentions, the girl was the child she watched with one hand, how could she bear to let her enter the place where she eats people and does not spit out bones? But Mama was moved, and secretly began to help prepare the clothes and jewelry for the draft, I thought it was the princess's, but in the end it was like this...... , Mama Hua's vicissitudes of life were full of tears, and she hugged her tightly and cried: "Miss Zhang is a good one, I'm confused." "But in the end, the wood has been completed, and Mama Hua has a tough face later, and she insists on following her into the palace, and she can guide the girl to some extent.

The wedding of the crown prince and the crown princess has passed a few days, and the day when the crown prince and concubine enter the door is the day after tomorrow. No matter how eye-catching this son is, but Zhang Erzhen and Wang Xiangqin, a girl from the Wang family, are not qualified to wear a fiery red wedding dress, Zhang Erzhen thought, she may never have the opportunity to wear red again in this life - after all, she is a concubine.

The lord and the lady called the girl over to speak. Yinqiu came in, holding a red and bright gem pomegranate flower on the table, and waited for Zhang Erzhen to put on her shoes.

Zhang Erzhen smiled and said to the nurse: "The nurse went back to see if everything was ready, entering the palace is no better than us at home, and it is not good to lack anything." The nurse hesitated to go out, only to feel that the smile on the girl's face was desolate and helpless. For so many years, she also thought that the girl would marry into the Sun family to be a serious young grandmother, so she often asked how the young master of the Sun family was doing, but since the marriage retreated, the girl was really sad for a while, she thought that there were so many good sons in the capital, and she would always find Ruyi slowly, but in just half a year, the girl was about to get married. The nurse raised her face, her face was slightly vicissitudes, since the prince took the girl so toughly, he would probably be better to the girl.

Zhang Erzhen walked alone on the round white and fat cobblestone path, and the feeling of hardness came from the thick soles of her feet, and the person who was stabbed was much more sober. Zhang Erzhen is very confused, she obviously has advanced thoughts and consciousness, but she unconsciously assimilates in the general environment. She comforted herself again, even in her previous life, the chairman was willing to ask about her marriage, let her marry her own son as a wife, could she resist? Zhang Erzhen smiled and shook her head, no matter where she was, there was always no good fruit to eat when she went against the upper class. She is fashionable as a small clerk and can't afford to offend the office director, and now she is even more afraid to say generously: I don't want to marry you as a little wife. Committed suicide by seppuku, threw herself into a well, or learned from Jin Zhiniang to "mistakenly eat" ginkgo for poisoning? Hanged herself? Zhang Erzhen shrunk her neck and walked faster, she was a failed traverser, and she was even afraid of death.

Zhang Luan and the Jin family were already waiting, Zhang Luan's eyes couldn't hide the tiredness and distress, the Jin family's face was extremely calm, the matter of the eldest daughter had been decided, they were so angry that they didn't dare to toss. Zhang Luan motioned for his daughter to sit on the pine chair at the bottom, and before Zhang Luan could speak, Zhang Erzhen had already said softly: "Dad, mother, everything in my courtyard is ready, and I plan to bring all the people in the courtyard in." ”

Jin looked at his daughter with satisfaction, nodded and said: "The girls in your courtyard are also honest, and they are also old people who have served you for several years. ”

Zhang Luan reproached in a deep voice: "It should have been prepared earlier, Zhen Zhen entered the East Palace, so it is always good to summon more people." I see that the girls in your courtyard are all young, if there is any ignorant and afraid, don't take them with you, you don't have to cause trouble. ”

Zhang Erzhen replied obediently, Zhang Luan regretted: "Zhenzhen, in the end, it is the will of the royal family, we are not good to disobey, you can rest assured, there is a father in the future, no one can bully you." ”

Zhang Erzhen showed a cute little white tooth and said with a smile: "Zhen Zhen saves." "It's not a parting of life and death, and it can't create an atmosphere of grief.

Zhang Luan only felt that his heart was blocked, so he raised his feet and left first, leaving only the mother and daughter in the hall. Jin opened his mouth a few times, puffed up his breath very hard, and said slowly: "...... You're going to get married, and you'll be a big girl in the future, and you can't be like our own family. You have been slow since you were a child, I have never restrained you, your father has loved you like a jewel since he was a child, even if I say a few words to you, he is reluctant. But if you enter the palace, your temperament will change, you have the queen and the princess above you, even the girls of the royal family are more noble than you, and there are the prince's concubines below, you remember, you must think twice before doing things, and you must not be rash...... , you entered that palace, your father and I are beyond the reach of the whip. Jin said, he couldn't stop wiping away his tears: "You are willing to be me, you don't listen to me when you are young, it is not as good as your two younger brothers to attract people's pain, but I am also good at eating, drinking and wearing to raise you, I expected you to marry into the Sun family safely and smoothly, but you are like this, who can stop it, Zhen Zhen, you can resent, hate, just be kind to yourself, be careful of the people of the family, I only rest assured, you enter the palace, Wanrong will not toss again." ”

Zhang Erzhen's slender body slowly stood up, walked to Jin's side and held her mother's hand tightly, and said a rare thoughtful word: "...... My mother treats me well, I know that my daughter can't always be with her father and mother in the future, so she has to take care of the family. It's just that the daughter still has a few words to say to her mother, Trillium is already six years old, and her mother can't hold him anymore. Since we came back from Shandong, Trillium and I have been estranged a lot from Heling, and it is naturally good for Trillium to be close to his mother, but he is a boy in the end, and he should be accompanied by his classmates like Heling, and grow up under your wings, which is inevitably fragile. ”

Jin's hand wiping his tears paused for a moment, and said coldly: "Your sister and brother are not in the mansion, I only occasionally get along with Yan'er and talk, who can understand my mother's thoughts, the affairs of the mansion are my own and your father, you go to the palace, just take care of yourself, don't let me and your father worry, it is the greatest filial piety." Jin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at his daughter's rippling eyes, gorgeous and bright appearance, and sighed for a long time: "You have no fate with the Sun family, and you can't communicate with each other in the future. ”

Zhang Erzhen was puzzled, and said softly: "I haven't seen the son of the Sun family again, what does my mother mean by this?" Since returning Sun Baijian's gift, Sun Baijian has sent several letters, but they have all been returned intact, whether Sun Baijian will marry his cousin, Zhang Erzhen will no longer worry and trouble, as long as he is well, their fate will come to an end.

Jin looked at his daughter's calm face, saw that he was not lying, intimately grabbed Zhang Erzhen's slender and white hand like jade, and sighed: "The son of the Sun family is a heart, but I don't care about that, now we can't go against the holy will for him, if we can't get involved with him, it will only be our Zhang family who will be unlucky in the end." The tail note rose slightly, as if to warn her daughter not to be confused. Zhang Erzhen felt that the Jin family was really careful, and her feelings for Sun Baijian were far from the point where she would not marry. Zhang Erzhen held her mother's hand and said softly: "Sun Gongzi's future glory and wealth will still be dull, and it has nothing to do with me. Jin nodded with satisfaction, at this moment he only felt that his daughter was very intimate. There is no need to take out Sun Baijian's letter in her cuffs, her daughter has made up her mind, so burn the letter.

Zhang Erzhen stayed in the Spiegel Hall for a long time, and when she returned to the Butterfly Courtyard, it was already dark and dark, she had accepted this arrangement, and fell asleep on the bed tiredly. Mingyue lightly put down the tent, went back to Baoxia after leaving the inner room, and preached to the four girls who wanted to follow up the palace, Jin Qiu Yinqiu and Spring Breeze were all worried, they were all from poor backgrounds, they thought that serving the girl was the dignity of the sky, who knew that the girl once entered the East Palace, and when she thought of seeing Tianyan in the future, she was all anxious, if she wanted to keep them, they didn't want to, the girl treated them well, if they all ran away, would the girl marry out alone? So Mingyue taught them the etiquette in the palace at the speed of light, and cultivated their courage.
