At the end of the selection, Zhang Ziqing still did not win the election, and he was ready to return to his hometown to continue his hard work.

Before leaving, he came to say goodbye to Mrs. Tan and Tan Yin, Mrs. Tan comforted and encouraged him, and Tan Yin sent him out.

"Ziqing, you seemed to have something to say to me at the Bo Book Office that day, and then I didn't run into you much, and I was panicked every time, and I didn't have time to ask." Tan Yin asked.

Zhang Ziqing's face showed a hint of regret, "Ah Yin, do you blame me for not telling you the news of Aunt Li's arrival?" ”

Tan Yin looked at this companion from childhood to adulthood and said, "I was a little angry at first, but if I think about it carefully, Rucheng is your classmate, and you can't say it." It's just that I have something I want to ask you, you were drunk in the Champion Building that day and said that Ru Cheng attracted bees and butterflies, did he like the girl's family very much outside? ”

Zhang Ziqing didn't seem surprised by her question, "Ru Cheng is a successful young man, talented and good-looking, although he is not as famous as Xu Linhai, but he is also outstanding among the new science and technology scholars, and there are a lot of dancers secretly sending Qiu Bo at the banquet, but he has never paid attention to it." ”

Although there are many new science and technology scholars, there are not many teenagers, and even fewer teenagers with good looks.

Tan Yin thought for a while, "I'm afraid it's not just the dancing girl, is there any other lady?" ”

Zhang Ziqing was silent for a moment and said, "The third lady of Wang Shilang's family and the eldest lady of Li Yuanwailang's family are both ......."

Tan Yin smiled forcefully: "I know." ”

No wonder the eldest cousin has repeatedly asked Li Zheng if he is good to her, no wonder Zhao Xu is also asking!

"Ah Yin, don't worry, the two adults once revealed their meaning to him, but he refused. He has never changed his mind about you, but he doesn't want you to misunderstand, you have to believe him, otherwise I won't hide it from you for so long. ”

"I know what he thinks about me." Tan Yin said with a smile.

Zhang Ziqing relieved himself and left.

……

Li Zheng walked into the Hanlin Courtyard, and finally got his wish to start his eunuch journey, Tan Yin was about to come forward to congratulate, but saw another beautiful young lady come up, looked at Li Zheng affectionately, and called her husband in her mouth, Li Zheng also called her mother affectionately, and the two walked forward with each other.

Tan Yin shouted Li Zheng in the back, but he didn't look back.

Tan Yin was in a hurry, and hurriedly wanted to run forward to grab him, but suddenly found that he couldn't move, so he was so anxious that he shouted Li Zheng.

A heartache stabbed from her fingers to her heart, Tan Yin suddenly woke up in her sleep, looking out the window, it was not yet dawn, Tan Yin lay on the bed over and over again, and finally came to the morning.

When she got up in the morning, Honeysuckle washed her and said, "Girl, why are your eyes red?" ”

"Oh, it's okay, I read the script last night, it was a tragedy, I cried to death."

"Hey, girl, look at what you're doing, to make yourself unhappy!"

Honeysuckle picked up a few golden hairpins in the jewelry box, and gestured to pick one for her to wear, Tan Yin shook her head, pointed to the rose silver hairpin given by Li Zheng, put it on, and found a muslin dress that had been worn for two years.

Honeysuckle muttered: "Girl, this is Shangjing, you are going to be laughed at if you dress up like this, you!" It's not as fashionable as Mrs., who tinkers with books and medicine all day long. ”

Tan Yin smiled and said, "It's comfortable to wear old clothes." ”

Honeysuckle put on her clothes, "I only hope that Li Gongzi can understand your hard work." ”

……

When Tan Yin arrived at Li's house, a sandalwood carriage was parked outside the door, the carriage was tall and spacious, and the two horses were vigorous.

The courtyard door was closed, and when I entered the courtyard, there was a burst of laughter from inside the house, including the muffled laughter of Li's mother, and the sound of a girl like Huang Ying coming out of the valley.

After thinking for a moment, Tan Yin wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking of the valuables she saw in Li's mother's room that day, as well as the girl in the house, and thinking of the young lady mentioned by Zhang Ziqing, she moved lightly to the window.

In the back room sat a beautiful young lady, with willow eyebrows, big eyes, cherry mouth, dressed in luxurious and fashionable clothes, wearing pearl gold step rocks and white jade and red treasure hairpins on her head, and the gold bracelet on her wrist touched the table and made a crisp sound from time to time.

"Auntie, do you still like the grape brocade I brought you last time? The tailor at the dressing shop has been helping my family make clothes, and when it's free, I'll ask him to come and measure it for you. "Miss Huang Ying's voice is so sweet!

Mother Li said with a smile: "I like it, I like it when you give it to me, you kid, you think of me for such a good thing, it's a pity to make me clothes with such a good satin." ”

"What did aunt say, you are now the mother of Jinshi, everyone has to look up, what is there that you can't afford to use?"

"Look at what you girl said." Mother Li smiled from ear to ear.

Miss Huang Ying said angrily: "That's not it, Li Lang has great plans in the future, but my aunt has to socialize everywhere, and these clothes and jewelry are window appearances and are indispensable." ”

Mother Li boasted: "The color and pattern of the material you chose are very good, and the golden hairpin you gave you has been worn out in the past few days, and it is said that it looks good." ”

"This man relies on gold horses and saddles, and this golden hairpin is most worthy of the wealth of his aunt, and it would be better if he made good clothes."

"It's still you, the young lady, who knows more, and you'll have to help me more in the future."

Miss Huang Ying said sweetly: "Where you say, it is also a blessing for Qian'er to be with you." ”

"Auntie, how can I have such a good fortune, look at how good-looking you are, everyone's beauty is different."

"I'm embarrassed when my aunt said it, did I eat the ginseng I brought last time? I heard that it is especially good for back pain! Miss Huang Ying said shyly.

"I ate it, and it worked very well. Heck, I haven't done this old problem lately. Mother Li sat up straight and straightened her waist, eagerly demonstrating the effects of ginseng.

"You eat first, I'll bring some over, it's better to eat it all the time."

"You're a sweet girl, huh...... My aunt is comfortable with everything now, but Zheng'er's official position has not yet been decided, and my heart has never been decided. Mother Li sighed.

"Aunt, don't worry, Li Lang is talented and good-looking, my father is asking him around!"

"Really? Well, that's a good thank you dad! Your father is a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and with him to take care of me, I can rest assured about Zheng'er. Mother Li grabbed Miss Huang Ying's hand.

"What are you polite to me? Li Lang's business is my business. Miss Huang Ying said shyly.

Mother Li looked at the more Huang Ying girl looked at it, the more satisfied she became, she looked rich and noble, her father was a waiter, and her mother's family was an uncle's house, and she couldn't find such a family affair with a lantern.

looked at Miss Huang Ying kindly and said, "Good boy, you have been wronged." Zheng'er is a affectionate person, and if you let him break up with that girl now, he will definitely not want to. ”

"If you want to marry that girl as a flat wife, he won't do it in normal times, but fortunately, you found out that she stayed at the bottom of the valley with that Li Dadao lonely man and widow in Hangzhou for a long time, and her reputation was damaged."

"She has a low voice, and she has this kind of thing, it is a great blessing to be able to make her an equal wife, and it is a great blessing to be on an equal footing with you, this is still for her father's sake, otherwise how could she enter my Li family."

Miss Huang Ying hurriedly said: "Auntie, I am not wronged, I can be with Li Lang, let me do whatever I want, and I will treat Sister Yin well in the future and wait for Li Lang with her." ”

Mother Li saw that she was so knowledgeable, and said with satisfaction: "You are still generous and decent, you have to think about it, how to envelop Zheng'er's mind, his heart is still in that girl." ”

"You are good for Qian'er, I keep it in my heart, and I will definitely honor you well in the future. It's normal for Li Lang to have this mind now, but he will definitely miss my good in the future! ”

"Good boy, you can be regarded as a housewife, sooner or later he will understand that it is really good to marry you."

"In the future, he will become bigger and bigger, and he will need to be in charge like you to take care of him before and after, his wife and husband will have fewer disasters, and his future will be better and more stable with you. That girl was born in the township, her little family is full of spirit, and she has never seen the world, how can she help Zheng'er? ”

Miss Huang Ying smiled, but there were no words.

Mother Li said disdainfully: "She is coming over to be courteous now, if it weren't for her father's sake, Zheng'er begged hard, how could I look down on her." ”

"Her mother is a vixen, and any man from ten miles and eight towns will have straight eyes when he sees it."

"I will dress up and eat and drink every day, and there are no less than a dozen styles of bare hair; I also apply grease and powder all day long, and there are many colors of lipstick; The clothes are changed once a day, and they can not be the same for a month; The jewelry came in sets, saying that they were going to wear what clothes they were going to wear, and they were not afraid of thieves. ”

"You said that she is a country lady, and she is not like you ladies, her daughters are so old, what are you doing all day long. I won't live at all, buy a fashionable thing from Suzhou City today, buy a fashionable fruit tomorrow, you must try it, you can suffocate you when the fruit is on the market? ”

"Master Tan is a good person, she was fascinated by her, just a daughter, and if she doesn't take a concubine, the old Tan family will be the last. If Zheng'er was like him, wouldn't I have gone underground and wouldn't have the face to see his father! ”

Tan Yin turned around and left.

……

The rain was pouring down, ticking on the banners of the shops on the streets.

The rain was heavy and light, and a slanting wind swept over the drizzle, and the wind and rain blew through the lintel, swept over the walls, blew over the pedestrians on the street, and fell on the bluestone slabs, like small fish jumping.

Pedestrians either held up umbrellas, sheltered from the rain under the eaves, or ran with their hands over their heads.

A girl walked slowly in the rain, her clothes were wet, but she was unconscious, like a puppet with no purpose and no direction to go forward, and continued to walk.

The rain, the hurried pedestrians, the shops on the side of the road, and the people watching the rain have nothing to do with her.

Heaven and earth are long, all are passers-by.

Someone pointed and said, "You see this girl looks like a Peugeot, but isn't she stupid?" ”

The rain hits the face, why is it a little salty! His eyes were foggy, it was raining all around, he couldn't see clearly from a distance, and his head was empty.

Where is this? Oh, this is the heavenly capital of Shangjing.

Where am I?

A carriage came from behind, stopped beside the girl, someone opened the door and asked her to go up, the girl was in a trance, looking at the person in a daze, was pulled up by one of the people inside, the carriage continued to run forward, and disappeared in the rain in an instant.
