Chapter Sixty-Eight: Suddenly
On the third day, Mrs. Tan went out early in the morning with honeysuckle and did not return until the afternoon.
At night, the surroundings are silent, but a little light is dotted among them, revealing the warmth of thousands of homes.
Li Zheng hurried over, Tan Yin closed the door tightly, and slowly opened it under his pleading and Mrs. Tan's persuasion.
Tan Yin sat at the table and saw Li Zheng come in cautiously, and turned her head away from him. Li Zheng walked up to her, and she turned her head again.
Li Zheng stubbornly said: "Ayin, I know you are angry, but you can listen to my explanation." My mother has been here for about 20 days, and as soon as she comes, I want her to come and visit my wife. But you also know my mother's temper, she has an old problem with back pain, she has been on the road for more than a month, and her back pain is worse, she said that she can only come over when she is a little better, and I can't tell you the truth, I'm afraid you will think too much, so I have to ...... I have to say that she didn't come over for the time being. ”
Li Zheng peeked at Tan Yin and continued: "Today, my wife came to visit my mother, and my mother said that she was not in good health, and she came to rest for many days, and she has been fine in the past few days, and she will come to visit tomorrow." ”
Tan Yin turned her head to look at Li Zheng and sneered: "Li Zheng, you treat me as a three-year-old child!" Your mother's back hurts, how can she still go to the market? How could it be such a coincidence, as soon as we found out, she was ready to come and visit. ”
Seeing Tan Yin like this, Li Zheng walked up to Tan Yin, squatted down, shook his head and looked into her eyes and said, "Ah Yin, I know you are very angry, you know my mother's thoughts, I don't know how many times I have knelt in front of her these days, you see my knees are scabbed."
"Today, after my wife left, I knelt down in front of her and swore that I only want to marry you, and if she doesn't agree, I will be a monk, and she saw that I was so resolute and finally agreed."
"It's me who is not good, I should have said that I would have done it earlier, but I really can't say that I can't do it. She has pulled me up since I was a child, you look at my face, get along well with my mother, and see people's hearts for a long time, she will naturally think of your goodness. ”
As he spoke, he pulled up his pants to his knees, and both knees were dark and blue, and some places had scabbed, which showed that it was an old injury and a new injury.
Tan Yin heard him say that he was going to be a monk, and looked at his dark knees, although he was still angry and didn't speak, it was much better than the cold frost at the beginning. She had always been gentle and casual, and the occasional anger and anger passed after a while, and this was the first time I had seen her.
Seeing Tan Yin like this, Li Zheng was also very sad, and his words were choked, "Ah Yin, have you ever seen me bear you for so many years!" No matter what the occasion, how many temptations, how have I ever put those in my eyes, my feelings for you for so many years, are you denying it because of this matter? ”
Tan Yin thinks about the two of them for so many years, and thinks about the love and sweetness after coming to Beijing. Seeing him like this, tears flowed involuntarily, "Then why don't you tell me, I have been kept in the dark for so many days, if it wasn't for my mother suddenly found out, how long would you hide it from me?" ”
Li Zheng saw her in tears, hurriedly took the handkerchief to wipe it, and hurriedly said: "It's me who is not good, it is me who is not good, I will never dare in the future." Don't cry and swollen your eyes, they don't look good, I'll accompany my mother tomorrow! ”
Tan Yin stopped her tears and said, "Your mother will come over tomorrow, so what should I prepare?" ”
Li Zheng saw that she was relieved, and said with a sigh of relief: "You don't have to do anything, just dress up beautifully, my mother wants to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law." ”
Tan Yin said angrily when she heard this: "I want you to talk nonsense." She raised her foot and pretended to kick him.
Only then did Li Zheng put his mind at ease.
……
After Li Zheng was reluctant to leave, Tan Yin went to her mother's room.
Mrs. Tan saw that although her tears had not dried, she smiled slightly, and said with a smile: "Now I am willing to come out to meet people!" ”
Tan Yin was a little embarrassed, "Mother......"
"I asked Honeysuckle to buy ice, this eye has to be compressed quickly, how can I see someone tomorrow if it is so swollen."
"Mother, I heard that you went to his house in person yesterday, and your daughter is not filial, so let your mother worry about you."
According to the rules, Mrs. Tan is Li Zheng's mother, and according to the relatives, it should be the man who comes to the door first, and now Mrs. Tan comes to the door first, which is not suitable in any way.
Mrs. Tan sighed secretly in her heart, "Silly boy, what are you doing with these foreign words, you prepare well, and Mother Li will come over tomorrow." ”
"So what am I going to do to prepare?"
"You're not usually stupid, but when it comes to a critical time, you don't have your own opinions. Dress yourself up and think about what you can say to make her happy. Although Li Zheng was admitted to the Jinshi, your father is his master, and he is dedicated to him, so we have the first place in this regard, so there is no need to feel low. ”
Tan Yin nodded and went back to prepare.
