Chapter Twenty-Six: Jin Rong
Zhang Erzhen took Zhang Heling to catch butterflies in the small garden, but saw Uncle Zhang commanding a few small servants to carry a few big cages to the other courtyard, and he knew in his heart, this aunt is afraid that she will live permanently. It's no wonder that the Jin family is unhappy, Jin Zhiniang came to the door for the first time, and she didn't bring a small gift to her relatives and juniors, either she didn't take this sister in her eyes, or she was confused and didn't remember. Zhang Erzhen thought about Jin Zhiniang's unyielding appearance, and felt that she was more inclined to the latter.
After playing with Zhang Heling for a while, Zhang Erzhen yawned and sent him back to Yilan Courtyard, and he took Ruyue back to Butterfly Courtyard.
"Girl, the slave and maid have heard clearly. Just returned to the Butterfly Garden, Mingyue had already returned, mysteriously hiding in the courtyard and waiting for Zhang Erzhen.
Zhang Erzhen was also interested, and ordered Ruyue to close the door, pulled Mingyue into the main hall and asked, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
"It's the golden lady who got into trouble in Sichuan. Mingyue cautiously glanced around, and carefully told the news she had just heard. Zhang Erzhen listened, her pupils grew bigger and bigger, and she praised from time to time.
After Mingyue's description, Zhang Erzhen has already made up the details in her brain. It turned out that Aunt Jin had reached the age of discussing marriage, and Mrs. Tai inadvertently revealed that the old man wanted to marry the second son of the Yizhou Senate Yun Si Yuan family, who knew that Aunt Jin did not agree, Mrs. Tai was shy when she was shy, but she said with tears in her eyes that she had promised a life in her heart and wanted to stay with her. Don't say that the old man doesn't agree, and the lady won't agree, but Jin Zhiniang is also temperamental, and she is unmoved when she decides it. thought that this should be a "Legend of the West Chamber", Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng should be harmonious and happy in the end, but Jin Zhiniang is Cui Yingying, but that endowment is not Zhang Sheng, under the coercion and temptation of Mrs. Jin, he easily compromised, and soon became close to the girl next door. After Jin Zhiniang knew, the cave room was over. Jin Zhiniang's heart is like ashes, blame the lover for being uncertain, and blame her parents for beating the mandarin ducks, washing her face with tears all day long, and she is delicate. The old lady had no choice, and the old lady was also distressed, so she had to send it out to relax, and she didn't worry about other places, so she simply sent it here, which was closer and more convenient.
Zhang Erzhen made up for this scene of deep love, and couldn't help but look up to her aunt. Under the feudal society, the order of the parents matchmaker said, she is the daughter of the dignified five-grade master, and she even looked at a class of endowment regardless of the difference between the family, what is endowment, although the imperial court supplies rice and grain coins, exempts from errands, and sees that the county does not kneel, and cannot be tortured casually, but it is also a showman. If there is a lack of luck and strength, it is possible to be a talent for a lifetime. Jin Zhiniang's love was at the beginning, immersed in the ocean of love, bravely pursuing what she wanted in her heart, but the ending was unexpected, the concubine was like a rock, but Jun was not like Pu Wei, the rock was not transferred, but Pu Wei had already found another support. Zhang Erzhen admired the greatness of this little aunt, commanded the dry mouth of Mingyue to drink water, took a piece of almond sunai flower just made by the nurse and chewed it, and closed her eyes comfortably.
The Jin family also knew that Jin Zhiniang was going to live for a while, and she was very dissatisfied with her father's first cut and then play, but there was nothing she could do, everyone was at home, and she couldn't be thrown out. Looking at the three-car cages prepared by her father and stepmother, they were all given to her, and the rare ones were a pair of swan bottles with pinched golden hairpins from the official kiln, and the ordinary ones were made with Sichuan's special milky white fragrant sweet rice wine. The Jin family was sad again, this sister was favored in the end, and her father used these thoughts.
"Sister, Zhen Zhen is seven years old, I see that I don't go anywhere except for classes all day, is the little girl lonely, and she doesn't have a little friend of the same age to play with?" Jin Rong is a good uncle, and it didn't take a few days to discover this problem that was seriously neglected by the family. Except for Mingyue Ruyue, two playmates of the same age, Zhang Erzhen basically doesn't know anyone else. Zhang Luan always clearly separated her official duties from her family, and Zhang Erzhen also realized it in hindsight, didn't the Jin family receive a post from a guest in the past? Zhang Erzhen never went out to sit with a guest, is this her greatest sorrow, is this the sequelae left by her uncle's family? Zhang Erzhen thought silently, looking at Uncle Rong's eyes full of admiration.
Jin was holding a small fan and fanning it for a while, and the tail was hammered with a small ball made of silk thread and swaying, Zhang Erzhen sat on the black wooden pestle, originally listening to the gossip of Jin and Jin Cha, and mentioned himself coldly, so he naturally had to be brighter.
Jin smiled: "I also thought of this, Zhen Zhen was naughty and naughty before, and she was very stubborn, I didn't dare to take her out." I have really grown up over the years, and I am much more well-behaved and sensible, and I accepted the invitation of Mrs. Li of Zhizhou a few days ago, and I happened to take Zhen Zhen to have a look. ”
Zhang Erzhen wanted to roll her eyes when she heard the first half, if you want to talk bad about me, just say it in private, say it in front of the main master, is it too indifferent to take me.
Jin Rong was also a little dissatisfied: "I see that Zhen Zhen is excellent, and she is not inferior to other girls." My sister should be content, and she has such a well-behaved daughter as Zhen Zhen. ”
Zhang Erzhen lowered her eyebrows and was well-behaved, she was already very satisfied, although the Jin family still didn't like her, to Zhang Luan, Jin Rong, and the Tang family were all good to her, people can't be too greedy, they will always lose the same when they get the same.
"I still don't know the daughter I gave birth to, Zhen Zhen is honest on the surface, but she is very skinny in private. You don't know, she ...... a few days ago" Jin shook out the matter of her running out in the middle of the night, and added at the end: "It's only seven years old, if it's older, it should be sent to the nunnery, don't say it, if it affects the master, He'er, Yan'er, what should I do." ”
Hearing this, Jin Rong was dumbfounded, and then looked at his niece who was sitting on the pestle with her head on her head, and she didn't believe her sister's words: "This is still my sister's negligence, Zhen Zhen is only seven years old, what can she understand." Zhen Zhen, next time you can't go out in the middle of the night, you don't have to worry. ”
Zhang Erzhen immediately raised her head mentally and said: "What my uncle said is that Zhen Zhen is wrong, which makes my mother and father worry, it is Zhen Zhen who is not filial, and I won't do it next time." ”
Jin Rong nodded with satisfaction and continued: "I can't stay long, it's time to leave tomorrow." Zhiniang still has to stay with her sister for a while, and her father will send someone to pick her up later, but it will be troublesome for my sister. ”
"We are siblings of the same mother, so what are you doing politely. You don't have to worry about Zhiniang, you just live in our yard when you enter the capital. I dragged my brother to take care of me when I left, so you can prepare for the exam. ”
Hearing that Jin Rong was leaving, Zhang Erzhen looked at Jin Cha with some reluctance in her eyes. In this era, if relatives are not in one place, it is rare to see each other, and it will be a long time since they parted.
