Chapter 3: Misfortune 1
Li Zhuozhuo finally cheered up, the two chattered and said a lot of words, Zhang Erzhen is generally a smiling docile listener, occasionally express his own opinions, Li Zhuozhuo said, "The style of clothes and jewelry in the Treasure Pavilion in recent years is not as good as in previous years, and the recent new jade crystal hairpin seems to be imitating a few years ago", Zhang Erzhen replied, "It is about the skilled craftsmen of the Treasure Pavilion who have invested in other shops, and their talents are limited", but in his heart he slandered, "It is about Yi Qian is not in Beijing, and those designers are poor in donkey skills." Li Zhuozhuo said, "In the past, Wan Rong saw who arrested whom, regardless of time and place, a few days ago, I saw that it was really a lot more restrained, isn't it the prodigal son who turned back?", Zhang Erzhen hurriedly persuaded "If you can really turn back the prodigal son, then you don't have to knowingly commit it, if you see a beautiful one, you have to pull it to the house, Sister Zhuo, don't be deceived." Li Zhuozhuo said, "Qiliu Lane has opened another dim sum shop called Hua Qiang, and I haven't tasted it yet", Zhang Erzhen replied, "No matter how delicious things are, you have to have a good mood to taste them, let's go together another day." ”
"Zhenzhen, can you go out of the house at will?"
"About-or can't" Actually, I didn't dare, I finally came back to Beijing, and she wanted to live honestly.
"Girl, Madame is back. Zizhu came in with a bead curtain, Li Zhuozhuo agreed, took Zhang Erzhen to his mother's yard with a smile and asked for peace, and whispered: "Mother must be facing me, this thing will definitely be done!"
"The second girl married into the ten thousand families, you really won't regret it in the future?" Zhang Erzhen didn't dare to guarantee that Zhu Youzhu would definitely win, if Wan Guifei's pillow wind blew hard, and the old emperor was deaf and abolished the three princes and replaced them with the nine princes, it would be difficult to say.
Who knew that Li Zhuozhuo actually craned his neck like a fighting little rooster and said fiercely: "Hmph! Whoever wants such a wealth to take it, I am not rare!"
After a brief meeting with Mrs. Li and a few words of gossip, Li Zhuozhuo sent Zhang Erzhen out of the house, looking at her anxious appearance that she couldn't wait to go back, Zhang Erzhen smiled and waved her hand to signal her to go back quickly, Li Zhuozhuo apologized: "It's a narrow-hearted thing to call you here, next time I will make amends to you." ”
Zhang Erzhen had already gotten into the carriage and lifted the curtain to urge: "Sister Zhuo, come back quickly, we will have a chance to talk about happy things in the future." ”
Watching the Zhang family's carriage run away, Li Zhuozhuo picked up his skirt and ran into his mother's yard quickly............
Zhang Erzhen, who returned to Zhang's house, first went to see Mama in the other courtyard, Mama Hua was lying on the bed sickly, and asked the girl to go out quickly through a heavy curtain, and she was not infected. Zhang Erzhen instructed the little maid to open the curtain to ventilate and ventilate, and asked: "Mama has been sick for a long time and has not recovered, is it that the Lang Chinese medicine skills invited are not good, why don't you take a look at it again?"
Mama Hua coughed lightly and said: "In the end, it is old and sick to be common, but the tired girl often runs here, but it has caused a lot of trouble for the girl." ”
Zhang Erzhen poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Mama Hua: "What does Mama want to do, it is the right thing to take care of." After a few more gossips with Mama Hua, he told the little maid to take good care of Mama and went back to the butterfly courtyard. Mama Hua supported her body and sat up, and the little maid carefully stuffed a soft cotton cushion behind her back, only to hear Mama Hua say: "Such a bearing, such a cultivation, such a character, if you only marry the son of a five-grade official, it would be a pity." Then he shook his head and muttered, "It's not certain, I don't think Miss Zhang cares much about the son of the Sun family......
............
"Girl, Mrs. Sun is here, and Mrs. has called you over. Yinqiu called out the door.
Zhang Erzhen had already heard the wind, had already dressed properly, put a warm and gentle jade bracelet on her wrist, and finally straightened the hem of her clothes, and walked towards the main hall with Mingyue. The Sun family did not return to Beijing, this time it was Mrs. Sun who came by herself, I don't know what happened, I received her post yesterday, and the Jin family also pulled Zhang Erzhen to ask for a good meal, saying that today must not lose the character, to be virtuous and respectful and gentle, and glared at her daughter, looking disgusted. Zhang Erzhen naturally didn't dare to say that she had already seen this Mrs. Sun in Shandong, and Mrs. Sun's impression of her was not very good.
There are already many maids and wives standing in Zhenghui Courtyard, half of them are usually called by the Jin family, and the other half is naturally brought by Mrs. Sun, and the number of people is even equal, so it can be seen that Mrs. Sun is not good to come this time, about knocking?
Mrs. Sun was wearing a maroon embroidered three-finger vermilion gold wide-brimmed placket, covered with a brick-red long skirt, full of jewels, and several pairs of large gold bracelets hung on her wrists.
When Zhang Erzhen entered the door, Mrs. Sun saw Miss Zhang and couldn't help but be angry: such a delicate daughter was so fascinated that her son couldn't find the direction, and she didn't want to make progress all day long, resulting in a failure in the exam. Thinking so in her heart, but her face was still sentimental, when Zhang Erzhen stepped forward to salute, she seemed to see the daughter of the Zhang family for the first time, so thin that she looked at Zhang Erzhen's hair to the soles of her feet, nodded while watching, seemed to be extremely satisfied, and repeated in her mouth: "Good boy, good child, good child", and then took off a gold bracelet from her left wrist and stuffed it into Zhang Erzhen's hand, Zhang Erzhen took it gratefully, and lowered her eyebrows more and more.
Jin is quite satisfied, if Mrs. Sun likes Zhen Zhen, Zhen Zhen can also have a good mother-in-law and in-law in the future. As a mother, although Jin doesn't care much about the growth of her eldest daughter, she basically doesn't want Zhang Erzhen to go to Panlong and Phoenix, she is very resigned to her fate, since Zhen Zhen has a marriage contract with the son of the Sun family, and the respectful and filial in-laws will be in the future. Don't make trouble for the Zhang family anymore is the only thing the Kim family expects from her daughter.
Mrs. Sun wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "...... This time I saw the girl, I was really happy in my heart, the last time we met, the girl was dressed as a man, but now I look at it but it is much more heartfelt......"
Although Jin was puzzled when he heard this, he was not good at questioning his daughter in person, so he smiled and said: "This daughter of my family, since she was a child, let her father get used to it, and only in the past few years has she become a big girl, and she is a literate and chisel housekeeper. Jin covered his handkerchief and giggled, and Zhang Erzhen looked sideways, really like a merchant who was eager to sell goods.
Obviously, Mrs. Sun didn't think so, looked at Jin's face with a sincere face, and said slowly: "Back then, when the two masters decided on this family affair, I didn't know, and when I found out later, even Geng Ti was changed, and I have also seen the girl, a small group looks happy and cute." Later, our two families rarely interacted, and it didn't come true, sister, you said ......" Mrs. Sun couldn't help but start wiping her tears again, Jin's alarm bell rang for a long time, and a bad feeling gradually arose, only to hear Mrs. Sun continue: "My niece is one year younger than Brother Jian, and when I see it, my younger brother and sister said that I came to my house and wanted to ......" It was another very artistic pause, Zhang Erzhen sat on the stool next to Jin, peeking at Jin- Jin's face was ugly, of course, Zhang Erzhen herself was a little surprised, she thought that Mrs. Sun was here to put her mother-in-law's money, but she actually came to withdraw from her relatives?
The Jin family naturally heard that Wei'er was coming, and the hand holding the teacup turned slightly white, but he still asked with a smile on his face: "What does Sister Sun mean by this?
Mrs. Sun pressed the handkerchief and said apologetically: "Since beating my niece and giving birth, the two families have had that meaning, although they didn't say it explicitly, but they also acquiesced." Later, the marriage of our two families was decided, and it was also urgent at that time, so there was no big deal. Seeing that my niece was gone, my younger brother and sister mentioned it to me again, and I hurriedly came to talk to my sister. "The maiden niece and this fairy-like girl are naturally more intimate to their niece, even if they offend the Zhang family, it doesn't matter, and the two families are getting in touch less and less.
The smile on Jin's face couldn't be hung back, and he said sharply to Zhang Erzhen: "You go back first, and I'll talk to you later." Zhang Erzhen should be well-behaved, but she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, and when she went out, she left Mingyue behind to eavesdrop, you must know what the situation is now, and she is bound to be divorced?
"The matter of the two families was originally decided by the two masters, and Sister Sun came all the way to say that it was not appropriate, right? Can Master Sun know about this matter? Can Master Sun know?" If she hadn't made a decision with Sun Gongzi a long time ago, she would have intended to marry Zhen Zhen into the Marquis's house, after all, many ladies had inquired about it, and she rejected them one by one with a smile.
Mrs. Sun began to wipe her tears again, and said guiltily: "What happened back then, why didn't my sister know about it? I just pity my younger brother and sister and my niece, who have been thinking that they can be with Brother Jian, and they know that Brother Jian has a marriage, so they fainted on the spot, and when they woke up, they only knew how to wipe their tears, I ...... I really can't bear it, sister. Zhen Yatou is young in the end, and it is not impossible to find a high door in the future, I brought Zhen Yatou's Geng post today, and we two ...... Let's ...... the two of us."
Mrs. Sun trembled and took out a small box wrapped in red silk cloth from her arms and put it on the table, and the Jin family was furious when she saw it, and she didn't know how to reply for a while. She came all the way to send this divorce away? What happened to their Zhang family? Jin felt a deep sense of shame and sneered: "Sister Sun is well prepared, but my Zhang family is different, my family has always listened to my master's words, if he is unwilling, it is useless for anyone to say." If Sister Sun finishes speaking, she should go back, this matter needs to wait for the master to come back, and I will inform Sister Sun after discussing it with him. ”
"Someone, send Mrs. Sun out—" Jin tried hard to suppress his temper and called someone over.
Hongliu came in and made a "please" gesture towards Mrs. Sun.
Mrs. Sun's voice was not small when she said these words, so the maids and women inside and outside the house listened to it really, and Hongliu felt sorry for her own girl, so she naturally didn't have a good face for Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun stood up, pressed the corner of her eyes and was helped out by her maid. Jin looked at the red cloth bun on the table, and only felt that it was very eye-catching, her daughter was disliked like this, and her face as a mother was bright!
