Chapter 178: Zhang Jilin Goes to Beijing
Time passed in a flash, and Zhang Jirin stayed at Zhang's house for two and a half days before leaving again.
"Will you leave tomorrow?" After eating, Zhang Li asked with a frown.
Even from the first day Zhang Jilin came back, she knew that Zhang Jirin was going to leave in two days, but when Zhang Jirin was about to leave, Zhang Li's heart was still full of reluctance.
"Well, mother, General Nie's army happens to pass by tomorrow, and I will follow them to the capital." Zhang Jilin explained.
"Okay, my mother will make you something to eat, and you can take it with you on the way." Zhang Li sighed, turned around and was about to go to the kitchen.
"Mother, no need, it's okay." Zhang Jirin hurriedly grabbed Zhang Li's family, of course he didn't want Zhang Li to work so hard.
"Mother, you rest, I'll do it for him." Seeing this, Liu Meiniang also hurriedly said.
"You don't have to do this, I'm not old enough to move." Zhang Li gently shook off Zhang Jirin's hand and said angrily.
Seeing this, both husband and wife no longer insisted, Liu Meiniang gave Zhang Jirin a look and followed Zhang Li to the kitchen.
"When Ji Rin was young, he was very sensible, every time his father came back from the mountain, Ji Rin would deal with those wild things and let his father rest, and then his father left, Ji Rin took on a large family by himself, and suffered a lot, every time Ji Rin went up the mountain to hunt, I would make him a green onion cake, and ......hold it with a few rough steamed buns," Zhang Li babbled, Liu Meiniang listened on the side, and helped Zhang Li from time to time.
"Ji Rin, this kid, except for not being very talkative, everything else is very good, Mei Niang," Zhang Li said while talking to the face.
"What's wrong, mother?" Liu Meiniang asked.
"If you also think Ji Rin is good, just try it, my biggest wish as a mother is to hug my grandson as soon as possible." Zhang Li's sudden words made Liu Meiniang stalked, how should this be answered?
"Ah, mother." Liu Meiniang didn't know what to say.
"Don't you like Ji Rin?" Zhang Li looked at Liu Meiniang and said.
"No, I ......" Liu Meiniang hurriedly denied it, it was not that she didn't like Zhang Jirin, but ...... I don't know what to say, Zhang Jilin has saved her twice, and with the recent relationship, Zhang Jilin is quite satisfied with all aspects, her character is undoubted, and her appearance is undoubted, but Liu Meiniang still hesitates.
Probably because she experienced a love affair in her previous life, Liu Meiniang didn't dare to trust others easily, she wasn't sure that after being with Zhang Jirin, Zhang Jilin would abandon him when she was seriously ill like her boyfriend in her previous life.
Human nature, she has no right to question whether her boyfriend is doing the right thing or not, but Liu Meiniang doesn't want to do it again because it's too painful.
But how to say such things to Zhang Li's family, Liu Meiniang had no choice but to hold back.
Zhang Li saw that Liu Meiniang didn't speak, so he didn't ask anymore.
Feelings are a matter of two people, of course she, an outsider, is embarrassed to interfere, but she can see that Liu Meiniang's attitude towards Zhang Jilin is not that she doesn't like Zhang Jirin, but she doesn't seem to know how to express it.
She was afraid that if this went on for a long time, the two of them would have a misunderstanding, so she took advantage of the gap between cooking and dialed it a little, hoping that Liu Meiniang could figure it out.
After Zhang Li finished speaking, Liu Meiniang did fall into deep thought. Although it is said that once she was bitten by a snake, she was afraid of the well rope for ten years, but she can't stop accepting a new relationship because of a regret, besides, Zhang Jirin has already met the criteria as an object in those aspects, and has saved her life twice, what else does she have to take care of? Thinking of Zhang Jilin's previous actions under the cliff in order to save her, Zhang Jilin would rather not have an arm, and Zhang Jilin's actions under the cliff, Liu Meiniang suddenly confirmed in her heart.
If a person can do this to you, what would it be if it wasn't love?
It's that she herself has a good impression of Zhang Jirin, plus so many things, Liu Meiniang seems to be suddenly opened, and the problem that has plagued her for a long time is solved at this moment.
Seeing Liu Meiniang's reaction, Zhang Li's heart slowly relaxed.
"Ji Rin, you can take these green onion cakes and eat them on the way." Zhang Li made ten green onion cakes, wrapped them in oiled paper and gave them to Zhang Jirin.
"Thank you, mother." Zhang Jilin naturally knew that this was a little bit of Zhang Li's heart, and now they were not short of food and clothing, Zhang Li's asked him to bring scallion pancakes, which was just a way to express his feelings.
"Be careful on the road." Zhang Li patted Zhang Jilin on the shoulder.
"Hmm."
In the evening, Zhang Jilin packed his luggage, sat in the room for a while, thought of something, got up and walked towards Liu Meiniang's room.
Hearing a knock on the door, Liu Meiniang, who was undressing, put on her clothes.
"Who?" Liu Meiniang asked softly.
"It's me, Mei Niang." Zhang Jilin cleared his throat and replied.
Liu Meiniang opened the door, and sure enough, she saw Zhang Jirin standing at the door.
"What's the matter?" Liu Meiniang asked puzzled.
"I'm here to say goodbye to you." Zhang Jirin's face was a little unnatural, when he had dinner today, everyone knew that he was going to the capital, and he would say goodbye to Liu Meiniang again, which seemed to be a bit deliberate.
"Come in and talk about it." Liu Meiniang tilted her head and thought for a while, let the door open, and let Zhang Jirin come in.
Entering Liu Meiniang's room again, Zhang Jilin smelled the faint fragrance in the room, and remembered that she had slept with Liu Meiniang at the bottom of the cliff before, and the smell of Liu Meiniang's body made people feel very relieved.
"I'll send you to the county seat tomorrow." Liu Meiniang sat opposite Zhang Jilin and spoke.
"No, I'll be there soon, don't run again." Zhang Jilin refused, there was still a distance from Liuhe Village to Qingshi County, and Zhang Jilin didn't want Liu Meiniang to suffer so much.
"After the New Year, it's time for the supermarket to open. I just happened to go ahead to check it out. Liu Meiniang casually made a reason.
Anyway, Zhang Jirin doesn't know if it's true or not.
Sure enough, Zhang Jirin paused.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mei Niang." Zhang Jirin looked at Liu Meiniang and said seriously.
"What's so hard, you are hard, but now it's okay, you should be able to get a lot of rewards for entering Beijing this time." When Liu Meiniang said this, she suddenly thought of something, and her face changed slightly.
If Zhang Jilin goes to the capital to accept the reward, won't he have to stay in the capital in the future? In that case, will the whole family have to move in? What will she do then?
In good conscience, Liu Meiniang doesn't want to go to the capital at all, in this Qingshi County, Liuhe Village, she is already living freely, a big dye vat like the capital is not suitable for her life at all, where is it, who can avoid intrigue?
Liu Meiniang also thought of a point, Zhang Jilin's rebellion against King Chun should be regarded as the first credit, and when the emperor is happy, he will give Zhang Jilin a marriage or something, isn't it a little embarrassing?
She is Zhang Jilin's nominal wife, but there is a deed, she can marry freely, if Zhang Jirin really accepts the reward, what kind of general and official, the little wife will definitely not marry only one, thinking of this, Liu Meiniang's face became more and more stiff, why did this kind of drama like her husband soaring and abandoning his wife would be staged on her.
Although she didn't care if Zhang Jirin abandoned it or not, if this kind of thing really happened, she felt that it was really embarrassing to throw it to her grandmother's house.
Looking at Liu Meiniang's unpredictable face, Zhang Jirin knew that Liu Meiniang must be imaginative, cranky, and reached out and flicked it lightly on Liu Meiniang's head.
"What are you doing?" Liu Meiniang glanced at Zhang Jilin angrily.
"What are you thinking about again?" Zhang Jirin asked Liu Meiniang with a smile.
"You say, will the emperor give you a marriage or something?" Liu Meiniang said what she thought in her heart.
"No, it won't." Zhang Jilin immediately denied it.
"Why not?" Liu Meiniang asked puzzled.
"I have a wife." Zhang Jirin glanced at Liu Meiniang, as if Liu Meiniang was a fool, why should she ask such a simple question.
"Didn't my mother tell you that I can already marry freely." Liu Meiniang passed by Zhang Li's room that day, and clearly heard Zhang Li talking to Zhang Jilin about it, and she deliberately stopped for a while to eavesdrop, but only heard Zhang Jilin say "I know", which made her heart stuff for a long time.
"I told you." Zhang Jirin nodded and said.
"Then I'm ......"
"But that doesn't change the fact that you're my wife." Zhang Jirin quickly interrupted Liu Meiniang.
"If the emperor really wants to give marriage, can you still obey?" There was a bit of anger in Liu Meiniang's words, as if she was about to fight with Zhang Jirin.
"No, if Your Majesty knew that I had a wife, he would not give me a marriage, and if he really gave me a marriage, I would not agree." Zhang Jirin thought about it and replied seriously.
"Don't you see those officials in the picture book who have three wives and four concubines?" Liu Meiniang glanced at Zhang Jirin, she didn't believe that Zhang Jirin, an ancient person, would feel that three wives and four concubines were abnormal.
"I'm the only one for you." Zhang Jirin turned his head to look at Liu Meiniang and said seriously, under the reflection of the candlelight, Zhang Jirin's outline was more distinct. Liu Meiniang was a little stunned when she heard Zhang Jirin's words, is this a sudden confession?
"Mei Niang, since I knew that you were my wife, I decided that you were the only woman in my life." Zhang Jirin was afraid that Liu Meiniang would not believe it, and added.
"What are you talking about?" Liu Meiniang covered her face and stopped looking at Zhang Jirin.
"Mei Niang, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll come back, I want to show my heart," Zhang Jirin stared at Liu Meiniang's side face and said.
"Mei Niang, you, can you please me?" Zhang Jirin swallowed his saliva, he was very nervous when he said this.
Although he has been with Liu Meiniang for so long, he is really not sure how Liu Meiniang feels about him.
Sometimes I feel that Liu Meiniang is hot and cold, and when she returns to Liuhe Village, it seems to be a little different from being at the bottom of the cliff.
Zhang Jilin couldn't tell what it felt, but Liu Meiniang was like this, which made him suffer some gains and losses.
I'm going to leave tomorrow, so I simply asked Liu Meiniang to make it clear today.
