Chapter 81: The Girls in Beijing
Zhang Heling shook his head and said: "I didn't bully people, they will go to study with me tomorrow, so naturally they have to prepare their own pen and ink, I am doing good deeds." And I stepped on the chair because I didn't wear shoes......" Zhang Erzhen looked at his white and fat little feet, picked up Zhang Heling's small body and put it on the flower-saving ebony chair and said: "Although it is hot now, the cold starts from the feet, and you are not allowed to step on the ground with bare feet in the future, you know?"
Zhang Heling nodded, yawned and squinted his eyes, Zhang Erzhen commanded the two little guys to make the beds, and whispered a story about the farmer and the snake, Zhang Heling asked in a daze: "Sister, are you saying that good things can't be done?"
"Of course not, before doing good deeds, we have to make sure that this thing can be done, blindly doing good deeds is a very stupid thing......" Zhang Erzhen patted Zhang Heling's small body and finally exhaled. She never picks those super long "Journey to the West" or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the like when she tells stories, and she will be tired to death again and again.
As the eldest sister, Zhang Erzhen stepped on the moonlight to see Zhang Yanling again, Zhang Yanling was already asleep, Zhang Erzhen instructed again to take care of the second son, Rong Niang hesitated: "The second son is still clamoring for a wife before going to bed, and the slave doesn't dare to take the second son to Zhenghui Courtyard without permission, and the master will be in trouble if he knows......"
"Madame is sick, let's take it to Zhenghui Courtyard after a few days of illness, Yan'er is not in good health, and she can't get sick anymore. β
Rong Nanny nodded again and again, and Zhang Erzhen could finally go back to the butterfly courtyard to rest. Thanks to the fact that there are not many people in the Zhang Mansion, or it is really tiring. Mingyue looked at Zhang Erzhen and yawned, and said distressedly: "Girl, you are still young, you don't have to work so hard." The nurse said that the girl was at the age of growing her body, and she needed to eat more and sleep more. It is best to drink a cup of warm tea and goat's milk in the evening. β
"The nurse is right, let's go back to drink goat's milk and sleep more tomorrow. Zhang Erzhen sighed and accelerated the pace of going back.
............
Life is the same as old for a few days in a row, Zhang Erzhen has to take care of her two younger brothers, and occasionally she has to go to Zhenghui Courtyard to see Jin's face, like a spinning top every day. Fortunately, things are going well, Zhang Heling is becoming more and more honest, and the master also praises "father's talent", Zhang Heling proudly told Zhang Erzhen, Zhang Erzhen was also very satisfied, and rewarded him with a rest for an afternoon. Zhang Heling was also not polite, and he couldn't find anyone with two little scholars. Zhang Yanling is younger, his brother doesn't accompany him, and his mother can't see him, so he often follows Zhang Erzhen, like a little tail. Zhang Erzhen occasionally took Zhang Yanling and Er Shu to bask in the sun and hide from cats, and the two children were carefree and enviable. After Jin's illness gradually recovered, he began to enter the study, it is estimated that Zhang Erzhen's words played a role, I heard that every night I have to personally deliver a bowl of refreshing soup, and then stay in it until late before going back. Zhang Erzhen felt that as long as the Jin family could put down her body, Zhang Luan would not ignore her.
On this day, a message came from the door, saying that the grandmother of the Liang Mansion was here, and the Jin family did not go out, so naturally Zhang Erzhen could only go to see him. The person who came was a spirited old mother, wearing a dark red placket and a long armor, and explained the reason with a smile, it turned out that Liang Aiwan of Liang Mansion invited Zhang Erzhen to go to the house for a small gathering, and specially ordered Mama to send the post. Zhang Erzhen stayed in the house all day with a group of little ghosts, and he had long wanted to go out to breathe, and he was very happy, and told the maids to serve fruit and tea, saying that he would definitely arrive at that time, thank you Mama for coming to run.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Erzhen was bringing two small storytellers, and Mingyue probed her brain in, Zhang Erzhen knew that the Sun family had sent a letter again, so she ordered a few little maids to take care of the second son and the second girl first, and then come out by herself. Sure enough, Mingyue took out the hot letter from her arms and handed it to Zhang Erzhen, who looked at her angrily and asked, "Where are the people who came?"
"I'm waiting at the side door. β
"Please go to the little door for a cup of tea, and I'll write a letter to him later." β
"Girl...... Isn't that okay?"
"Nothing bad, go quickly. β
Mingyue ran away as soon as the smoke slipped away, Zhang Erzhen had just seen the fire paint, and slowly opened it was Sun Baijian's dashing words, sprinkled a page: Huixin respectfully learned, very comforted. Don't come for a long time, even if you think about it. What's going on, Nian Nian. In the previous letter, I forgave Da Yajian, so far I have not seen a polyphony, and I read it with the accumulation of time. Since violating the fangyi, it has been going on for months. Long sparse greetings, Fu Nian Bao family peace, the house Kangwang. I got a note yesterday, and I read it repeatedly, and I can't say it. Since the handshake, how has it been doing, my father...... The central idea is that if Sun Father moves to Shandong, Sun Baijian will not go with him, and will stay in Shuntianfu to continue to participate in the imperial examination. At the end of the letter, Zhang Erzhen was instructed to pay attention to his body when he had become cold recently.
Zhang Erzhen grinded slowly, thinking about how to reply to the letter, hmm...... Thank him for his concern, don't work too hard, your health is important, won't you be in the way if you stay in Shuntian Mansion, or go to Shandong with Uncle Sun, and your family will take care of you. Thinking about it, I feel verbose, throw it away and rewrite it...... Send a few words, talk about congratulations and hope. I am glad to hear that my uncle is promoted, and I am sincerely relieved, and I wish you a bright future and all the best......
After taking a look, Zhang Erzhen was very satisfied with the seal, and called Ruyue to hand it over to the Sun family who was resting at the front door. Ruyue sneered, and Zhang Erzhen blushed for a while, what is there to be shy about, isn't it just to send a letter to her fiancΓ©. Here Ruyue took the letterhead to the side door of Zhang's mansion, Mingyue was waiting here, handed it to the little maid and told him, and took the ingot silver to the little maid, and the two girls came back. The little servant of the Sun family over there rushed back to the Sun family, Sun Baijian was reading in the study, and when he heard the movement, he knew that it was Shengmin who had returned.
"The letter has been delivered, have you seen the girl of the Zhang family, and look at her health?"
Shengmin took out a letter from his bosom and whispered, "Childe, look at what this is?"
Sun Baijian took it, forced himself to calmly push the people down, and waited until the people closed the door, and then opened it very carefully, Zhang Erzhen's words are small and beautiful, the words are like his person, Sun Baijian read carefully word by word, and the tips of his ears were slightly red after reading it, if Zhang Erzhen was here, she should wonder, she didn't write any forbidden words, what is Bai Jian's brother's ears red?
Sun Bai was strong and calm, can he not be excited, this is the first time Zhen Zhen has written to him, although it is only a few strokes, but it is also a great thing worth remembering. Sun Baijian lifted his robe and sat in the chair, his eyes were gentle, his eyebrows were flying, and he was a young man.
"Girl, why are you here?" came the voice of the people outside the door.
A crisp voice said: "I'm coming to see my brother, why aren't you allowed to enter?" As soon as the voice fell, the door was opened, and a petite girl came in, pouting and saying: "Brother, we are going to Shandong, you won't come to accompany me, I won't see you for a long time, don't you want Xiaoluo?" The person who came was Sun Luo, the sister of Sun Baijian's sister, wearing an apricot yellow long gauze skirt, and her eyebrows and eyes were similar to Sun Baijian.
Sun Baijian had already put away the letterhead and said with a smile: "Why did Xiaoluo come to the study, you have always hated the study the most." β
"It's not too boring, I don't know anyone in this capital, and my mother doesn't allow me to go out, brother, you take me out to play." β
Sun Baijian refused: "We can't stay in Beijing for a long time, we should leave in a few days, I'm going to Guozijian, don't run around, the province will cause trouble." The conversation changed and said: "The Zhang family is also here in Beijing, you can invite Zhen Zhen to come in the next post." β
Sun Luo was already unhappy and said: "I wanted to invite Zhen Zhen to come a long time ago, but my mother didn't agree, saying that I wanted to avoid suspicion, I don't understand, what suspicion needs to be avoided, Zhen Zhen will be my sister-in-law in the future, isn't it better to be familiar with it now, hum." β
Sun Baijian asked, "Did my mother say that she was not allowed?"
"Isn't it, my mother said, 'The words of the matchmaker, the order of the parents, there is no loss of etiquette', so I am not allowed to invite Zhen Zhen's family, I said I will go to Zhang's house, and my mother said that I am young and have no rules to make people laugh. Alas. Sun Luo looked depressed and said, "Am I so unreliable?" β
"It's really not as good as Anqing here, you still listen to your mother's words and stay in the house honestly, it's only been a few days, don't go out." Sun Baijian persuaded, and suddenly found that if he wanted to see Zhen Zhen, he still had to find another way.
............
Zhang Erzhen wants to go to the Liang Mansion, so he naturally needs to get the consent of the Jin family. When Zhang Erzhen went to Zhenghui Courtyard to ask for peace for the Jin family, the Jin family was leaning on the edge of the bed, with a silver silk embroidered white forehead tied on his head, looking delicate and weak, and after Zhang Erzhen finished speaking, he said angrily: "Go and go, the province is angry with me at home, and I will go to Jing'an Temple tomorrow to make incense, you bring the maid yourself." β
Zhang Erzhen thought that the Jin family would not allow her to go, but she didn't expect the Jin family to be so neat, so she smiled and thanked her, and was kicked out by the Jin family after a while. Zhang Erzhen was very happy, and went to Qifeng Courtyard again to go around and then went back to Butterfly Courtyard.
Early the next morning, Zhang Erzhen, who was dressed properly, took Mingyue Ruyue and got into the carriage to Liang Mansion. Because she had already handed over the post before she came, Liang Aiwan had already sent the little girl next to her to wait at the door, and when she saw the carriage of Zhang's mansion, she hurriedly greeted her and took Zhang Erzhen into Liang's mansion. After walking through the double hanging flower gate, and around a large garden pool, I saw a few little girls sitting at the round stone table. Seeing Zhang Erzhen coming, Liang Aiwan had already warmly greeted her, took Zhang Erzhen's hand and looked up and down, and said happily: "Zhenzhen, it's really you, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have grown so tall." β
Zhang Erzhen smiled and said: "Sister Wan is fine, I haven't seen you for a long time, your complexion is better than back then, looking elegant and elegant, which makes Zhen Zhen very envious." β
Liang Aiwan said angrily: "Not only are you getting older, this little mouth is getting more and more able to speak, come on, I'll introduce a few girls to you." β
A little girl with a goose egg face and willow eyebrows at the table had already stood up and said with a smile: "Later, she said that she would call me for tea, but I didn't think that a new friend would come, and my little sister looked young, so she had to call me sister." β
"Yes, yes, this is the girl of the Li family, her name is scorching, Zhen Zhen, you should call your sister. Liang Aiwan pointed to another girl in purple and said, "That is the girl from Yi'an Houfu, whose maiden name is Yuwen." β
"This is the girl I met in Wuchang, Zhen Zhen. After Liang Aiwan's introduction, Li Zhuozhuo had already affectionately held Zhang Erzhen's hand and said happily: "You will be in Beijing in the future, and we can play together." I know a lot of fun places, so I'll take you there. β
Liang Aiwan said: "Zhuozhuo likes to walk around, and there is no place in the capital that she doesn't know." β
Zhang Erzhen looked at Li Zhuozhuo with a smile, feeling that this little girl was like a small stove, and her enthusiasm was overwhelming.
