In the warm and cold season, it rained for several days, and the blue-gray sky was foggy and wet.

Tan Zhaozhao stood under the eaves of the porch, raised his hand, and with a close of his palm, he could grab a hand full of water.

The wooden floor of the eaves was soaked with moisture, and after a short time after wiping it, another layer of water floated on it.

Tan Zhaozhao withdrew his hand, picked up the shawl with his hand, and the silk was half wet at the beginning of his hand.

When the most annoying time to return to Nantian came, the maidservant Meidou ran forward with joy, panting and said: "Jiuniang, the porter said that Dalang will arrive in a few moments!" ”

Da Lang is Zhang Jiuling, a famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and a poet. The poem "The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time" has been praised for thousands of years.

After the year, Zhang Jiuling went to Guangzhou Mansion on Lingnan Road to visit friends and Huiwen, Shaozhou is located in a remote area, and the traffic is dangerous, so he has to cross the rugged and difficult Meiling.

After a few months, the trustee sent a letter in the morning, saying that he would arrive home in the afternoon.

Tan Zhaozhao is ranked ninth in her mother's family, and everyone calls her according to her mother's ranking.

When they met for the first time, in addition to being curious, Tan Zhaozhao exhaled secretly to ease his nervousness.

Meidou stepped forward and neatly tidied up Tan Zhaozhao's shirt and long skirt, pulled up the shawl, and said unhappily: "Jiuniang has lost weight." ”

Less than ten days after coming here, Tan Zhaozhao has been sick. Because Zhang Jiuling returned home, after her mother-in-law Lu received the news, she sent people to greet her several times, and she had to get up and go to the gate to greet her.

Meidou saw that Tan Zhaozhao was silent, and hurriedly added: "Jiuniang was born white, and her eyebrows and eyes are the most beautiful. ”

Tan Zhaozhao couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, his original body was beautiful and slender. After getting sick, he lost some weight, and in the Tang Dynasty, which is beautiful in plumpness, it looks a little too thin, and it is not beautiful in the eyes of the world.

Meidou was brought by Tan Zhaozhao from her mother's family for fear that she would be left out in the cold.

The Zhang family is a descendant of Zhang Liang, and it is one of the best families in Shaozhou, and the ancestors came to Shaozhou to be an official during the Zhenguan period, and the mansion was built in Qujiang.

Now the Zhang family is prosperous, uncles and brothers live together, and the mansion is endless, occupying a large area of Shaozhou City.

After Zhang Jiuling's father, Zhang Hongyu, worked as a county minister for a few years, he resigned from his mission and returned home, bought a field in Sixing Qinghua, and built a house. Now he lives in the countryside and makes a living from farming and studying.

Tan Zhaozhao's mother, Gao's grandfather, was a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, Mai Quanscepter, and her aunt married into the Feng family, a famous family in Lingnan. 's father, Tan Xu, is the Sima of Xunzhou, although he is an idle official, he is a good match with the current Zhang family.

These days, Tan Zhaozhao listens to Meidou from time to time, Zhang Jiuling was famous for his talent when he was young, and his knowledge was deeply appreciated by the history of thorns, saying that he would have great talent in the future.

Zhang Jiuling has a future, and Tan Zhaozhao's family background is low.

As soon as Tan Zhaozhao came out of the yard, he met Lu Shi and others.

Little Lu walked in front with Lu, fourteen-year-old Qi Yifen held twelve years old Mrs. Zhang, and two-year-old Zhang Jiuzhang was held in her arms by her grandmother, and came mightily.

Xiao Lu is the younger sister of the Lu family, and she is married to Minzhou Mansion in Jiangnan Province. After her husband died, she took a pair of children Qi Yifen and Qi Saburo back to her parents' house to take refuge, and now lives in Zhang's house.

Everyone greeted each other, Qi Yifen was plump, her face was like a silver basin, and her apricot eyes were bright, and she smiled when she met someone, and stepped forward to call her cousin-in-law affectionately: "Are you in good health?" ”

Tan Zhaozhao hurriedly thanked him politely, Qi Yifen breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Okay, it's okay, I told the eldest lady that I wanted to visit together, and I was afraid that it would disturb your recuperation." ”

Mrs. Zhang had a good time with Qi Yifen, held her arm tightly, and said, "Big brother is back, A-Niang is in a hurry, let's go quickly." ”

Lu Shi hurriedly urged: "The road is muddy on a rainy day, and it is hard to hurry, don't let Da Lang wait." With that, he walked out quickly.

Xiao Lu followed behind her, and when they arrived at the gate, Zhang Hongyue took his hand and Shi Shiran came over.

In addition to studying in a private school, eight-year-old Zhang Jiugao and Qi Sanlang all came to the door to greet each other.

Tan Zhaozhao couldn't help but feel apprehensive when he saw such a big battle.

"Da Lang has arrived!" Menzi, who was looking at the door, said happily and rushed out.

Zhang Hongyue walked forward quickly, while Lu pushed away Xiao Lu and rushed forward. Qi Yifen, Mrs. Zhang, and her servants surrounded the gate together.

After the hustle and bustle, the cars covered with tarpaulins stopped in the corridor one after another. The front door opened, and then a pair of slender and white hands were placed on both sides of the door, and the azure wide-sleeved robe hung down, revealing a thin and powerful arm.

Tan Zhaozhao couldn't help but look up at those hands, and subconsciously whispered.

Zhang Jiuling in front of him is tall and straight, and his appearance is handsome. Those eyes are particularly clear, the eye sockets are deeper than ordinary people, and when they look at people, they seem to be full of affection.

After getting out of the car, the rain on the ground splashed on the hem of the cyan embroidered daylily robe, his eyebrows like a distant mountain seemed to frown, and then quickly unfolded, and he stepped forward and saluted Zhang Hongyu and the Lu family: "I've seen Aya, Niang." ”

The sound is like rain falling on the mountain spring, and the gestures show the grace. Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.

Mrs. Zhang called her eldest brother, Qi Yifen followed Ying Ying to call her cousin, and Ying Ying's eyes stopped on him from time to time.

Tan Zhaozhao greeted the crowd, and there were too many people around Zhang Jiuling, so he stood outside.

Zhang Jiuling seemed to sense that someone was watching, and his keen eyes looked over the crowd towards Tan Zhaozhao, and bowed his head.

Young couple, polite and detached.

Tan Zhaozhao laughed, Zhang Jiuling was busy studying and taking exams, and they were not familiar with each other.

Lu Shi took Zhang Jiuling's hand, called out to my son, and looked at him with good eyes, "My son is hard, look at you have lost weight." ”

Zhang Hongyue saw that Lu Shi's red eyes were about to cry, and hurriedly said: "Da Lang is tired, hurry up and go into the house to wash and change clothes, and it will not be too late to talk later." ”

Only then did the Lu family give up, and commanded his subordinates to turn around, carrying their bags and wrapping: "Jiu Niang, can the hot soup be prepared, what about the clothes?" Go, go, go! ”

Tan Zhaozhao was urged by the Lu family to follow Zhang Jiuling back to the courtyard. The eyebrow peas were clever, and trotted all the way back to the house, instructing the rough servant to prepare hot soup.

Zhang Jiuling has been used to living in the study since he was a child, stopped in the front yard, and said, "Jiuniang just called someone to send hot soup into the study." ”

Tan Zhaozhao said yes, and went to call Meidou to send the water into the study.

Meidou seemed stunned and muttered, "Da Lang doesn't go back to the backyard to wash?" ”

Tan Zhaozhao smiled lightly: "If you don't come back, you can go quickly." ”

Meidou reluctantly went, and Tan Zhaozhao went back to the house. The rain was still pouring down, and it was damp everywhere.

Tan Zhaozhao really couldn't stand the dampness, so he lit the smoker cage, put the mattress on it and smoked it, and slept comfortably at night.

In the evening, the husband and wife who reunited after a long absence____

Tan Zhaozhao thought of the alienation between Zhang Jiuling's eyebrows and Qi Yifen's enthusiasm, she laughed at herself, and then sighed again.

Such a young man, it's a pity that it's not hers.

On the Meiling Ancient Road in later generations, there is a temple commemorating Qi Yifen, calling her Mrs. Zhang Jiuling.

In Qi Yifen's hometown of Fujian, when she was Mrs. Zhang Jiuling, she also built an ancestral hall to commemorate her.

No one remembers the Tan family, who was the wife of Zhang Jiuling.

Tan Zhaozhao thinks that he has a good temper and is indifferent to Buddhism.

It is now the anniversary of the martial arts, the folk customs are open, the female constraints are small, and she can go out on the street at will as long as she dresses as a man.

Prosperous Chang'an, orchid grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass.

Since he has come, Tan Zhaozhao has set a goal for himself: "Once I see all the Chang'an flowers."

Tan Zhaozhao knelt on the seat and thought wildly, and after a while, his calves were numb. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the house, she took a few and leaned on it, guarding the smoked cage.

Meidou lifted the curtain and entered the house, saw Tan Zhaozhao dozing off a few times, took off his shoes and entered the house, stepped forward and called Jiuniang softly, knelt next to him and helped turn the futon.

Tan Zhaozhao didn't fall asleep, she just didn't want to move, and asked with half-open eyes, "It's all right?" ”

Meidou said: "Jiuniang rest assured, Da Lang has washed and changed his clothes and gone to the main hall." The lady sent Xu Yuan to pass the word, Jiuniang is not in good health, it is better to give birth for two days, and wait until she is well, and then go to ask for peace. ”

Tan Zhaozhao paused, and the implication of Lu's words made her stay in the courtyard by herself, probably only fearing that she would not be cured of her illness and pass her illness.

Lu held Zhang Jiuling in the palm of his hand and loved him, and would definitely tell him not to come to the backyard.

It's just right not to come, saving the embarrassment of strangers.

Tan Zhaozhao got up from the table, looked at the sky outside, and said, "Take back the futon, go and smoke my clothes, and then you go and get food." ”

Meidou put away the futon, went to the cage and put his shirt on the smoked cage, and went out to carry food.

Tan Zhaozhao dried his clothes, and after dinner, the rain outside finally stopped.

The sky was inky blue, and sparse stars twinkled. The lanterns are hung under the eaves of the porch, and the tiles are dripping from time to time, and the surroundings are quiet and quiet.

Meidou went to the outer courtyard and came back, and said: "Jiu Niang, Da Lang is still talking with Lang Jun Niang in the main hall, and he has not returned to the study yet." ”

Tan Zhaozhao hummed, raised his arm and sniffed, he was lying on the bed for a long time, the climate was humid, and he only wiped it casually, and it was almost rancid.

"Go prepare the hot soup, I'm going to wash it."

Meidou wanted to persuade, seeing Tan Zhaozhao's insistent expression, thinking about the current weather, if he didn't wash it, his clothes would be moldy. So he went to the stove and brought hot soup into the house, and put a small pestle in the bathtub.

Tan Zhaozhao took off his clothes, sat on the small stick, and said, "The hair is also washed, and it will be dried with a cloth towel later, and then smoked with a smoker to dry." ”

Meidou untied Tan Zhaozhao's high bun, the black hair of the crow fell down, she scooped up the water and poured it on, scrubbed it gently, and praised: "Jiu Niang's hair is so good." ”

Tan Zhaozhao has heavy black hair, which is waist-length, and it is just troublesome to wash his hair once. She scooped up her hair and frowned, "It's too long, it's already split." ”

Meidou looked at it and said, "The maid went to get scissors and trimmed the ends of Jiuniang's hair." ”

Tan Zhaozhao said let's go, and Meidou came out of the clean room. After a while, she heard footsteps behind her, thinking it was Meidou back.

After waiting for a while, Tan Zhaozhao saw that Meidou had not entered the house, and there was a collision sound behind her, and she looked back.

When Zhang Jiuling turned around in a hurry, he only saw snow-white jade muscles, looming in the black flying hair.
