22 Chapter XXII

Tan Zhaozhao was asked inexplicably, Zhang Jiuling looked very calm, but he was anxious, and he actually revealed some unconfidence.

Referring to his previous abnormalities, Tan Zhaozhao couldn't help but think about it seriously.

Don't regret it?

Following his heart, Tan Zhaozhao asked, "Is there anything wrong with me that Da Lang?" ”

Zhang Jiuling's hand gently caressed the silk, and the touch was as delicate as congealed cream.

His wife, packing up her dowry.

With these, she wants to fly away?

After getting married, he left Shaozhou and neglected her.

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Jiuling's mouth, and he said: "Vulgar clouds: poor Persia, sick doctor, thin sumo, fat bride." As a bride, Zhao Zhao suffered a lot of grievances. It was my fault that I failed to protect you. ”

Tan Zhaozhao heard the "impossible" of these common sayings, and thought about it carefully, and felt quite interesting.

The Hu merchants from Persia were so rich that they were very rich. How can a doctor see a doctor and heal a person? How can a thin man do sumo.

As for the bride, after getting married, she has to serve Aunt Weng, wait for her husband to take care of the housework, and she is so busy that she can't get fat.

The Tang Dynasty is rich and prosperous, and Emperor Wu is in power, so there will be a lot less restraint on women.

It's a pity that these are only for powerful princesses who hold power, not ordinary people's families.

Looking at these sayings, it is enough to fully explain that it is not easy for a woman to get married. Husbands and children and serving in-laws are the rules of ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty.

Since Zhang Jiuling said this, Tan Zhaozhao said seriously: "Da Lang, you asked me if I was angry before, I didn't lie to Da Lang, what is there to be angry about, this is the case." In the eyes of outsiders, such as the Ah Weng family, I am not worthy of you. However, whether this is worthy or not, whether they say it or not, it depends on you and me. If Da Lang doesn't do that Jiao Zhongqing, how can I be Liu Lanzhi? ”

Zhang Jiuling didn't look at Tan Zhaozhao for a moment, her eyebrows and eyes were sparse, and her atmosphere was bright.

"How can I be that Jiao Zhongqing, Zhao Zhao is my wife in this life, and he will never change ......"

Tan Zhaozhao raised his hand, interrupted him gently and firmly, and motioned for him to listen to her first.

"Da Lang, don't worry, don't talk too far first. As for Da Lang asking me if I have regretted it, the past has passed, and regret is useless. What the future holds, the world is unpredictable, and I prefer to live in the present. ”

Zhang Jiuling listened quietly, and her eyes always stayed on Tan Zhaozhao's face, as if she wanted to see her every expression and sincerity.

Tan Zhaozhao met his gaze and said slowly: "Da Lang, I don't need you to protect me, I just hope that you will respect me, and I will respect you." You are a son of man, and you have your difficulties. I am human, and everyone has seven emotions and six desires. You will give in, you will be angry, you will be bored, you will be sad. All kinds of rules and decrees, if they can completely control human nature, there will be no change of dynasty, murder and arson. ”

Zhang Jiuling bowed his head lightly and said obscurely: "Zhaozhao, I understand, after all, it is embarrassing for you." ”

Tan Zhaozhao shook his head and said with a smile: "Da Lang, look, this is the situation of the world." Under the rules of the world, as a wife and a bride, I should be like this. I can't have grievances, grievances, or resentments. It's already a great thing that Da Lang can notice this. ”

Sighing helplessly, Tan Zhaozhao said calmly: "Da Lang has a furrow in his chest and has great ambitions, and he must have something to do." I'm just a backhouse woman, and I really can't help Dalang's future. I can understand that they dislike me, but that's just their opinion, what does it have to do with me? ”

The wind blew, rolled up the silk and flew away, and Tan Zhaozhao pressed it tightly with his hand.

"I don't want to be trapped in the back house, waiting for my husband to return home all day long, worrying that my husband will have enough food and clothing, whether he will give birth to children and spread the branches and leaves for his husband's family, whether the concubines can be properly arranged, and whether the concubines and concubines can be properly taken care of, and there can be filial piety in front of Aunt Weng. Even though I'm nothing, my heart is still so high, and I don't know what to do. Dalang, you might accept it? ”

Datang is in the period of peace and prosperity, she has money, and she does not seek to be rich and expensive, which is enough for her to live comfortably for a lifetime.

What's more, no matter what the situation, she has to live freely.

For her now, for the former Tan family, she lived together.

Zhang Jiuling stepped forward without thinking, Tan Zhaozhao hurriedly stopped him and said, "Da Lang don't want to answer so quickly, think carefully before speaking." ”

The wind grew stronger, bringing in dark clouds and burying the sun in it.

"I guess it's going to rain." Tan Zhaozhao looked at the changed weather and was busy putting the silk into the cage.

Zhang Jiuling was silent and busy cleaning up, his heart was like the weather at the moment, he was panicked and panicked.

The calmer Tan Zhaozhao was, the more uncomfortable he became.

As he expected, they all valued him, and never considered her thoughts.

She regretted it, all the generosity, because it didn't matter.

Not all people in the world love power and wealth, and there are also high-ranking gods and immortals hidden outside the world, who refuse to enter the world, and only seek to be free.

His Zhao Zhao is like this, he disdains his good future, and is determined to be his wife.

Putting the silk silk into the cage, Zhang Jiuling called Meidou and Qianshan to come, carried them into the house and put them away.

Zhang Jiuling looked at the sky, stretched out his hand to probe under the eaves, and said, "Maybe it will rain at night." Tomorrow morning, if the rain stops, we will go into the city. ”

Tan Zhaozhao was surprised, since she came here, she hadn't been to Shaozhou City, so she happily responded, "Is there something wrong with Da Lang entering the city?" ”

Zhang Jiuling said: "Earlier, Zhao Zhao said that he would buy a set of noodles for the eldest lady, and we went to do it earlier. ”

Tan Zhaozhao remembered the hairpin that Zhang Jiuling gave her, hesitated, and said, "If Shaozhou City can't find a good head, why don't you give the eldest lady a golden leaf." Yuezhou is rich, if it is not fashionable to have a face, it is not easy for the eldest lady to wear it out. ”

Zhang Jiuling subconsciously looked at Tan Zhaozhao's bun, she had always been plain, and only dipped a willow leaf golden hairpin in her bun.

The hairpin he gave him never saw her wear.

Zhang Jiuling said in disappointment: "Zhaozhao, I gave you a hairpin, don't you like it?" ”

Tan Zhaozhao looked at the loneliness on his face, and hurriedly denied: "No, the courtesy is light and affectionate...... Well, that's not what I meant, I don't usually like to wear too many accessories, it's too heavy. Da Lang took so much trouble to find it for me, and I took it all alive. ”

Giving gifts is unpopular, so it's better not to give them.

Zhang Jiuling said in annoyance: "Zhao Zhaodon't want to comfort me, I was reckless." ”

Tan Zhaozhao was speechless, and hurriedly diverted the topic: "By the way, prepare a copy for the Seventh Lady, if she gets married, we can't ignore it." ”

Hearing "we", they were still husband and wife, Zhang Jiuling's heart was fixed, and said: "Okay, it's all according to Zhaozhao." Keep Zhaozhao's dowry, I'll give it all out. ”

Tan Zhaozhao was puzzled, Zhang Jiuling took her hand and said, "Let's go to the study." ”

The two came to the study in the front yard, Zhang Jiuling went to the bookshelf, took down the box placed on it, and handed it to Tan Zhaozhao with the key.

Tan Zhaozhao suddenly remembered that this was the box where Zhang Jiuling put money.

Zhang Jiuling said: "Usually I spend a lot of money, and I am shy in my pocket, but I can't compare to Zhaozhao's wealth. ”

Tan Zhaozhao opened the box, which contained gold leaves, some scattered copper coins, jade pendants, wrenches, red sapphires, etc., which were worth a lot of money.

Zhang Jiuling said casually before, but Tan Zhaozhao never thought that there would be so many!

After padding the box, Tan Zhaozhao suddenly felt heavy, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "Yo! Da Lang is really hidden. ”

Zhang Jiuling smiled dotingly: "It's all for you." ”

Ouch! Ouch!

Tan Zhaozhao raised his head suddenly, looked at him in surprise, and said, "Don't test me!" ”

Zhang Jiuling smiled, his smile was very faint, and he quickly dispersed, and his voice was a little lower: "Zhaozhao, I only have these, you take them all, put them in your dowry, no matter how you spend it, everything is up to Zhaozhao." I was told to think about it carefully, but I don't need to think about it, I have always followed my own heart. Sorry is useless for things that have passed. Like Zhaozhao, I live in the moment. At the moment, I am willing to be inseparable from Prime Minister Zhaozhao. ”

After a pause, Zhang Jiuling eased his emotions and said with difficulty: "If Zhao Zhao regrets wanting to leave, it is because I am disgusted by Zhao Zhao, and I am not good enough." I will do my best, if I am really incompetent, I hope that Zhaozhao can live a comfortable and unfettered life, which is the greatest respect for Zhaozhao. ”

Tan Zhaozhao hugged the box, so happy that he almost flew up, and responded loudly and crisply: "Okay!" ”

Zhang Jiuling was swept away by the joy on her body, and immediately regretted it, and hurriedly said: "I mean if, if, don't think that I plan to reconcile with you, don't misunderstand." ”

Tan Zhaozhao glanced at him, and his face clearly disliked him and went back on his word.

Zhang Jiuling opened his eyes, coughed, and hugged her lightly and walked outside: "Zhaozhao go and put the box away, and when you go to the city tomorrow, you will go to the yamen and write it in your dowry book." Zhaozhao, I'm hungry. I'm so sleepy, Zhao Zhao should rest with me first, I want to hug Zhao Zhao to sleep....."
