20 Chapter 20
Tan Zhaozhao only kept a few pears, and the rest Zhang Jiuling took them to honor his parents, and then distributed a few to Xiao Lu and Mrs. Zhang.
Except for festivals or birthdays, Tan Zhaozhao and Zhang Jiuling basically eat in their own courtyards.
Lu saw Zhang Jiuling send pears, Zhang Hong was sick and recovered, and it was rare for the family to get together, so they left Zhang Jiuling and Tan Zhaozhao to have lunch together.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was not there, Zhang Jiuling frowned and asked, "A-Niang, where is the eldest lady?" ”
Lu said: "The eldest lady is talking about marriage, but she is not sensible, and she plays crazy outside all day long." I heard that I was riding a horse outside. ”
Speaking of this, Lu's gaze was intentionally or unintentionally aimed at Tan Zhaozhao.
Tan Zhaozhao just didn't see it, and sat quietly.
Lu Shi said: "At the moment, the eldest lady can't fall and get hurt." I scolded her a few words earlier, but she was still not convinced, so I asked Xu Yuan to guard her yard and no longer allowed her to go out. ”
Zhang Jiuling said lightly: "Ah Niang, the eldest lady is going to marry far away, after getting married, Ah Niang wants to hear her talk back, but I am afraid I will never hear it again." If you see her once, you will miss one time, or let her out to eat, don't be grounded. ”
Lu Shi froze, his eyes gradually reddened, he covered his mouth and turned his head, whining and crying.
Zhang Hongyu is usually serious and dignified at home, and rarely speaks. Family affairs seem to be in charge of the Lu family, but in major matters, he has always been the same.
After the illness, Zhang Hongyu's spirit was not very good, and when he heard Lu crying, he became more and more impatient, and wrinkled his eyebrows and said: "The eldest lady's family, you have a high spirit, and you say that this time you can't lower it no matter what." Shaozhou Mansion school-age son, you always dislike this and dislike that, and finally asked someone to find a family in Yuezhou, and you cried and cried, feeling sorry for her to marry far away. A good meal, all of which you have disturbed! ”
Zhang Jiuling's eyebrows were cold, and he couldn't help but look sideways at Tan Zhaozhao on the side.
Tan Zhaozhao sat beside him, turned his head to meet his gaze, and smiled back shallowly.
From Zhang Hongyu's words, Tan Zhaozhao heard Lu's dissatisfaction with Zhang Jiuling's relationship with her.
Tan Zhaozhao can understand that the two have comparable family backgrounds, but as far as he is concerned, Zhang Jiuling won the praise of the Guangzhou Thorn History at a young age, and he became famous.
The Tan family is declining day by day, and Zhang Jiuling's career is unable to contribute.
Women wanted to take power and get ahead in the Tang Dynasty, mainly because of their background.
Now that Emperor Wu is nearly eighty years old, Tan Zhaozhao wants to show his talents, and it is too late to shine.
Tam Chiu-chiu will not degrade himself because of Lu's words, nor will he think highly of himself because of this. I think that between men and women, between husband and wife, as long as there is a marriage certificate, they should be pampered and loved.
In fact, from another perspective, she is the same.
If the husband is stupid and ugly, or ordinary enough to be boring, the wife will not be able to love him.
Why?
Speaking of whether it is worthy or not, it mainly comes from the consensus of their husband and wife.
Tang Dynasty Zong once said: "If you are not stupid or deaf, you are not a family man."
It can be seen that the in-laws in ancient times did not blindly emphasize the majesty of the elders, and interfered in the affairs between the younger couples everywhere.
Life is short, every day is twelve hours, not a single moment.
It's long, but in the flick of a finger, a thousand years have passed.
Tan Zhaozhao pursues loving himself first, trying his best to love others, experiencing a flower blooming, and tasting a delicacy. Live every moment of the twelve hours, do not regret it, and live up to it.
Seeing that Zhang Hong was getting more and more angry, Lu Shi barely stopped crying, dipped the corner of his eye with Luo Pa, and sobbed and stopped talking.
Zhang Hongyu ordered someone to summon Mrs. Zhang, and she stood by the door, carefully looking inside the house.
Seeing that Zhang Jiuling and Tan Zhaozhao were there, Lu pulled his face, the atmosphere was obviously wrong, and Mrs. Zhang was nervous and didn't dare to move.
Zhang Hongyu said expressionlessly: "If you come, come into the house and pass the food." ”
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly entered the house to greet her, sat down beside Tan Zhaozhao, and bowed her head without saying a word.
Xu Yuan and the concubine sent food into the house, finished the meal quietly, and took a sip of tea, Zhang Hongyue was overwhelmed, leaning on the soft bag, and dozing off in spirit.
Zhang Jiuling said worriedly: "Aya, do you want to invite Lang Zhong to take a look again?" ”
Zhang Hongyu opened his eyes and said, "It's okay, I always get sick at this time of year, just rest for a few days." ”
Zhang Jiuling cared for a few words, then got up and said goodbye: "Aye, A-Niang, let's rest." ”
Zhang Hongyu sighed, raised his hand and waved. Lu Shi was not at ease, so he went out with him, sent Zhang Jiuling to the eaves of the porch, and took his hand and said, "The weather is cold, you remember to dress more in the morning and evening." When you go out for a ride, you get sweaty, and when you come back, you have to change into dry clothes immediately. ”
Lu Shi was particularly uneasy, and told Tan Zhaozhao again: "You have to pay more attention, Da Lang wants to study, don't just pester him to take you out to play." ”
Tan Zhaozhao responded, Zhang Jiuling's expression faded, and said to her: "You and the eldest lady go back first, and I will say a few more words to A-Niang." ”
Tan Zhaozhao and Mrs. Zhang left first, and the two walked to the side of the shadow wall, and Mrs. Zhang looked back.
Zhang Jiuling was on his back, and the Lu family was blocked by him, unable to see their expressions clearly, nor could he hear their conversation.
Mrs. Zhang said uneasily: "Sister-in-law, what do you want to say about the eldest brother and A-Niang?" I saw A-Niang seem to have cried before, but did I make A-Niang unhappy again? ”
Tan Zhaozhao comforted her and said: "Ah Weng and Ah Jia had a little argument, it's none of your business, you don't think about it." ”
Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head, and looked lonely.
"The eldest brother taught me to ride a horse, Xu Yuan came back and told Ah Niang, and I was scolded by Ah Niang. said that the eldest brother was very busy, how could I pester the eldest brother. A-Niang also said that if I accidentally get injured and have a scar, my husband will not like it. ”
Mrs. Zhang kicked the flowers and plants on the side of the road without kicking her feet, and said in confusion: "Sister-in-law, you have a good relationship with your eldest brother and wife, and we are all envious." If the sister-in-law is injured, will the eldest brother also dislike the sister-in-law? ”
Tan Zhaozhao groaned and said, "Big lady, people are different, I can't give you a positive answer." But there is one thing I can answer you for sure. As long as you don't dislike yourself, you don't have to take other people's dislike to heart. ”
Mrs. Zhang looked at Tan Zhaozhao in a daze, and couldn't understand the meaning of her words for a while.
Tan Zhaozhao sighed secretly, patted her on the shoulder, and accompanied her back to the house.
"Big lady, no matter when, you have to remember that your name is Zhang Zhen'er, and you are Zhang Zhen'er. Don't put all your heart on your husband, your children, or anyone else. ”
Mrs. Zhang opened Qing Lingling's phoenix eyes, stared at Tan Zhaozhao in disbelief, and muttered: "Sister-in-law, I can understand some of your words, but I don't seem to be able to understand them." ”
After all, she is a thirteen-year-old little lady, and the world is like this, and it is already very good to understand it.
Tan Zhaozhao said in a low voice: "Respect is far more important than love, the husband respects you and values you, this is the first priority." Secondly, if the husband wants to take a concubine, if you can't stop it and can't accept it, how should you deal with yourself when the time comes? ”
Mrs. Zhang twisted her eyebrows and thought about it, and said dejectedly after a while: "It is natural for the husband to take a concubine, Aya has a concubine, and A-Niang said that it is just a pariah who serves Aye." Women are old, and it is difficult to give birth and raise, and they may die with one corpse. When he has a son, he will serve his husband by his concubine. A-Niang said that she wanted to buy a few maids to me, and I held their deeds, and they dared to be disobedient. ”
There is a strict hierarchy between the good and the low, that is, Mrs. Zhang beat them to death, and they were accused of the official, and at most they were fined a few big money.
But if a few slaves and maids are killed in the back house, who will come forward to sue the officials for them?
Tan Zhaozhao sighed slightly and said, "That's a person, a living person." ”
Mrs. Zhang hummed, "I'm actually scared, and I can't do it." I think A-Niang is just saying that she often scolds the concubines and hates them very much, and she actually cares about Ayena's concubines. ”
Tan Zhaozhao said: "Yes, I will always be unhappy. When you are unhappy, how do you get rid of it? If you don't care, if you don't take it to heart, you won't be so sad. ”
Mrs. Zhang nodded as if she understood whether she understood or not, and said, "Okay, I listen to my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law and my eldest brother have a good relationship, they must be powerful, and they are all right." ”
Tan Zhaozhao was amused by her, stopped in front of the door, and said, "I won't go in, you can go into the house and take a lunch break." ”
Mrs. Zhang said goodbye to Tan Zhaozhao and entered the house briskly.
Tan Zhaozhao turned around and left, and glanced at the main courtyard on the road.
I don't know if Zhang Jiuling and Lu Shike finished talking, did they go back to the courtyard?
Main Courtyard.
Zhang Jiuling said to the Lu family: "Ah Niang, I don't have any dissatisfaction with my family affairs with Jiu Niang. ”
Lu Shi said unhappily: "You stayed just to say these words to me?" ”
Zhang Jiuling said: "Ah Niang, you don't have to say this again in the future, Jiu Niang is smart, she understands everything, but she respects Ah Niang as an elder, and has never complained a word." ”
Lu Shi was already angry, and suddenly his face was ugly: "You know to protect her and don't take my aunt to heart." When did I treat her badly? Which bride does not serve Aunt Weng, and does not settle the province in the morning and dusk? She's busy serving you, and I won't care. But she doesn't care about your future, and pulls you out to mess around all day long. You are so confused, for the love of some children, you don't want your future? You are the son of the Zhang family, you have been married for so long, and her belly has not moved, how can this be the way to be a wife and a bride! ”
Zhang Jiuling's eyebrows were cold, and he said in a low voice: "A-Niang, I have already married and have already grown up, what do I do have to do with others?" A-Niang always said that Jiu Niang took me out to play, but when I was an ignorant child, I would be taken badly? Ignorant child, how can you talk about the future? ”
Lu Shi pursed his lips tightly, with a heartbroken expression: "You ....., I am dedicated to you, and my poor kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs!" ”
Zhang Jiuling said patiently: "A-Niang treats me well, I know it, but A-Niang, I have already married a wife and started a family, A-Niang Mo treats me as a three-year-old child, and I need A-Niang to protect me everywhere." ”
She had spoken to Lu Shi countless times, and she would listen to it at the time, but then forgot about it after a while.
When he became famous when he was young, he was praised by many people, and Lu's ears were full of compliments.
Over time, Lu Shi was thinking about his future, looking forward to him becoming a senior official in high school, which has almost become her obsession.
Zhang Jiuling saw that the Lu family was not happy, and his heart was also heavy: "I will fight for my future." Ah Niang, you look down on my wife, even I look down on me, do you think that I have to rely on my wife's support to make a difference? ”
Lu Shi covered his face and cried out with a whimper: "Okay, okay, you are right, I can't control it, just let you go." ”
Zhang Jiuling persuaded two sentences, and Lu Shifang choked back to the house. He bowed, turned away, and strode away without looking back.
The courtyard was quiet, and Meidou dozed off on the pillar under the eaves of the porch, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly got up to salute.
Zhang Jiuling made a quiet gesture towards her and whispered, "Are you asleep?" ”
Meidou hurriedly whispered: "Jiuniang has just finished washing, and she hasn't rested yet." ”
Zhang Jiuling hurriedly entered the house and saw Tan Zhaozhao sitting cross-legged on the reed mat, eating a piece of pear.
Hearing the voice, she turned her head and smiled at him, "Da Lang is back?" Come and eat pears. ”
The brilliant smile and the light pear fragrance emanating from the room washed away the haze in Zhang Jiuling's heart.
Walking forward, Zhang Jiuling lightly tasted the sweetness on Tan Zhaozhao's lips and said, "I don't eat it, this pear, Zhaozhao will eat it all." We have long agreed that we will never be separated. ”
