25 Chapter XXV
Intrigued?
Such a "gentleman is like a master" young man, of course Tan Zhaozhao will be moved.
And because of his youth, in the remote Shaozhou Mansion, the future has not yet started.
Once he is invested in Chang'an, after seeing thousands of prosperity, will he still be attracted to her?
Tan Zhaozhao smiled, fortunately she was too.
Zhang Jiuling didn't hesitate to ask, Tan Zhaozhao simply took the initiative to meet him, and his words were blocked back.
On a cool autumn evening, the setting sun shines through the cracks in the windows, and the small compartment is covered with a warm layer of gold.
Zhang Jiuling calmed his breath, looked at the scenery in front of him, and hugged Tan Zhaozhao tighter: "Zhaozhao ....."
Tan Zhaozhao said in surprise: "Ah, it seems to have become a car made of gold, if only it were true!" ”
Zhang Jiuling: "......"
Full of emotions, disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Zhang Jiuling smiled helplessly, and the more he smiled, the more he felt happy.
Tan Zhaozhao likes money, but she is not stingy, and bought noodles for Zhang Xiaoniang and Qi Yifen.
In addition, Tan Zhaozhao also bought a bracelet and a pair of earrings for the Lu family and the little Lu family. Zhang Hongyue was recovering for the first time, and when he passed by the pharmacy, Tan Zhaozhao took out the money and went in to buy a pack of extremely precious dendrobium tonic.
Thoughtful and proper, she did not have any resentment towards their mother and daughter because of Qi Yifen's actions.
Regardless of mind or bearing, they are comparable to gentlemen.
It's fun and rare to be with her.
When they got home, it was late, so Zhang Jiuling and Tan Zhaozhao went to the main courtyard with gifts.
When Lu Shi saw Zhang Jiuling, he was both happy and complaining, called him forward, looked at it carefully, and said one after another: "Why did you return home so late, it is difficult for cars and horses to travel on the road, what should I do if the carriage rolls over." When you go to Chang'an, don't rush at night, have you ever heard it? ”
"Look at the workmanship of this gold bracelet, my son's vision is really good!"
Zhang Jiuling said: "A-Niang, this is Jiu Niang's dowry money to buy filial piety to A-Niang." The dendrobium for Ayah, the eldest lady and Aunt Lu Qiniang, everyone's gifts were all paid by Zhaozhao. I just walked with it. ”
Lu glanced at Tan Zhaozhao, who was sitting next to him, and the smile on his face faded a little.
Zhang Hongyu was not there, and Lu Shi moved the dendrobium in the medicine bag and said, "Jiuniang has a heart." Although it is your dowry, I don't care, but looking at your generosity today, I will say a few more words. It's so difficult to go out, and it's going to the rich land of Chang'an, no matter how much money you have, you can't afford to spend a lot of money. Alas, how can I rest assured that I don't have an elder to take care of me? ”
Tan Zhaozhao couldn't help but look at Zhang Jiuling, seeing that his eyes were slightly cold, he hurriedly said: "The lesson of the Ah family is that in the future, I will let Da Lang take care of the money, and everything will be decided by Da Lang." ”
Lu Shi reluctantly said: "When Da Lang is in charge, you don't have to make your own decisions, just serve Da Lang's daily life and diet." Da Lang is happy to be clean, and he doesn't forget to bathe when it's cold, you don't have to be greedy for cheap and trouble-free, Da Lang doesn't rest well, if you are sick...... Ouch, I can't let go of my heart. ”
Lu Shi covered his chest, and his eyes were red with sadness.
Xiao Lu was busy persuading: "Da Lang has always been sensible, and he is used to going out, so he will be safe and sound, and he will go to high school in one fell swoop." ”
Lu Shi frowned tightly and said, "How can I not worry, Da Lang is not going to Guangzhou Mansion, it is Chang'an, thousands of miles away from home." If there is something, I am far away in Shaozhou Mansion, and it will be too late to know. No way! I've got to go with you! ”
Tan Zhaozhao sighed in her heart, but she lowered her eyes and didn't make a sound.
She can't participate in this matter, it depends on how Zhang Jiuling chooses.
Zhang Jiuling said unhurriedly: "A-Niang, I will stay in Shaozhou Mansion, accompany A-Niang for the rest of my life, and don't go to the fame test." ”
Lu Shi was stunned and said hurriedly: "How can you not go, it is related to your good future!" ”
Zhang Jiuling laughed, but his smile was very faint, and said: "Aya is not in good health and can't go far away, Erlang Sanlang is still young and needs to be taken care of." The eldest lady's family affairs have to rely on A-Niang. A-Niang accompanied me to Chang'an, let go of the brothers and sisters at home, hard work along the way, if I accidentally hurt my body, it was my great unfilial piety. If I am not filial, where do I get the face to test my fame, and where do I have the face to take the official test, I am afraid that I will be impeached and dismissed from office. If you don't save some things, you will stay in Shaozhou, go to your uncle's private school, be a teaching master, and serve A-Niang for the rest of your life. ”
Lu Shi's face turned white when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "How can my son not be filial, Hugh has to talk nonsense!" In that case, I won't go. Da Lang, you remember to write back along the way, don't let Ye Niang worry. ”
Zhang Jiuling responded lightly, Lu Shi pulled Tan Zhaozhao, and wanted to continue to advise, he made a gesture and retired: "A-Niang has dinner earlier, I have to go and change clothes." ”
Lu Shi hurriedly said: "Go back quickly, go back quickly, I forgot that you haven't eaten yet." Jiu Niang, follow quickly, let the stove room hurry up and serve food, don't be hungry. ”
Tan Zhaozhao should be, and got up to leave.
The crescent moon in the sky is like a hook, and the wind in the night blows coolness.
Zhang Jiuling held Tan Zhaozhao's hand, covered their hands with wide sleeves, snuggled tightly, and slowly walked in the middle of the road.
"Zhaozhao, I'm sorry, you broke the bank, but you caused a lot of complaints."
Tan Zhaozhao smiled and said: "It's okay, Ah Jia is right, in the future, Da Lang will take care of the money, and I will just be the shopkeeper, eat ready-made, and drink ready-made." ”
I'm going to leave in a few days, and I may never see each other again in this life.
If Tan Zhaozhao had to stay in Shaozhou Mansion for many years and be with the Lu family as his companion, she would definitely be angry.
However, if that were the case, Tan Zhaozhao would not have taken out a lot of money.
If you don't buy it, Lu will also have something to say.
bought gifts for them, not to get praise from the Lu family, but to please her. It's just that it's all on Zhang Jiuling's face, and the courtesy is just thoughtful.
Zhang Jiuling can understand and understand this feeling, it is enough.
What's more, on the dowry book, Zhang Jiuling added so much to her.
When he went to Chang'an, Zhang Jiuling would withdraw money from the public account, plus the entanglement he had gained......
Tan Zhaozhao snickered, no loss, really no loss.
Zhang Jiuling leaned at Tan Zhaozhao and said, "Zhaozhao wants to be lazy? ”
Tan Zhaozhao Zhenzhen said: "The Ah family is an elder, the elders have orders, Da Lang dares to disobey, is it because he is not filial?" ”
Zhang Jiuling looked at her meaningfully and said, "The elders still have an order, let you and I have children earlier." ”
Tan Zhaozhao sighed, and his fingers quietly picked at his palm.
Zhang Jiuling took a deep breath and said in a dumb voice: "Zhaozhao, it's wrong for your husband." ”
Bear with it, and when you get to Chang'an, when you don't need to endure it anymore, you will settle accounts with her.
In the following days, Tan Zhaozhao was busy preparing to pack his bags, and Zhang Jiuling went to say goodbye to relatives and friends.
Zhang Jiuling, as a scholar of Shaozhou Mansion, attaches great importance to the history of Shaozhou Thorn, and chooses an auspicious day to convene the township sages and hold a grand township drinking ceremony to see him off.
In order to worship their ancestors, the whole family moved to the ancestral house of the Zhang family in advance.
On the day of departure, the weather was fine.
The whole house is lit up almost all night. Zhang Jiuling got up and went to offer incense to worship his ancestors, while Tan Zhaozhao counted his bags again with Meidou.
Meidou personally guarded Tan Zhaozhao's valuable softness, and roughly made the servant woman enter the door, and moved the rest of his clothes and other things to the car together.
When the sky was bright, Tan Zhaozhao was in the main courtyard, and after having a meal with the same family, he bowed with Zhang Jiuling, bid farewell to Zhang Hongyu and the Lu family and the elders of the clan, and officially set off.
Lu Shi burst into tears, but for the sake of auspiciousness, she couldn't help herself and didn't cry.
Zhang Hongyu also looked quite reluctant, and told Zhang Jiuling a few words.
Zhang Jiugao and Qi Sanlang returned home from the private school, and the two of them stepped forward together, Zhang Jiugao said enviously: "Big brother, when I grow up, I will also go to Chang'an to test my fame and come to find my eldest brother!" ”
Zhang Jiuling said with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "If I am not at home in the future, you will be the eldest brother in the family, so you can't be naughty." ”
Zhang Jiugao responded loudly, Zhang Jiuzhang got up early, was still sleepy-eyed, dragged the nurse's hand, and kept dozing.
Mrs. Zhang was depressed and talked to Tan Zhaozhao: "Sister-in-law, I really can't bear to let you go." ”
A few days ago, Tan Zhaozhao had already left the makeup for her and Qi Yifen, and Mrs. Zhang liked the silk that Tan Zhaozhao gave her very much, and realized the goodness of this sister-in-law. It's a pity that they don't get along for long, so they have to separate, and they can't help but feel uncomfortable.
Tan Zhaozhao smiled and comforted her: "Although the road is far away, there is always a time to meet." Big lady, you will ...... in the future Live your life well and try your best to live comfortably. ”
Mrs. Zhang snorted, "Sister-in-law, I listen to you." ”
Xiao Lu led Qi Yifen to stand on the outside, and then Qi Yifen came over and said, "Cousin-in-law, have a safe journey." ”
After returning from Shaozhou City, Qi Yifen was silent, and no one at home mentioned the matter.
Tan Zhaozhao pretended that this incident had never happened, and did not say a word.
"Take care of yourself, too." Tan Zhaozhao thought about it for a while, and finally said with a smile.
Qi Yifen nodded, then lowered her head and stopped talking.
There is also an auspicious time for departure, and no matter how much Lu Shi is reluctant, he can only send him off with tears.
Tan Zhaozhao and Zhang Jiuling got into the carriage, the carriage and horses wandered forward, got on the boat at the wharf, boarded the boat along the Qujiang River and traveled east along the Zhenshui, and took the waterway to Da Yuling.
By this time, it was already dawn, and the sun was slowly rising in the sky.
Qujiang Creek is shining with a little wave, the boat is driving slowly, and the grass and trees on the roadside are colorful, like a picture scroll of thick ink and color.
Zhang Jiuling and Tan Zhaozhao stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Shaozhou City, which gradually disappeared from sight.
The hometown where I have lived for many years is going to be far away like this.
Although he had always wanted to leave before, at this time, Zhang Jiuling's heart fluctuated and could not be calmed down for a long time.
"The stream is clear and deep, and the turquoise stone is in the shade. Zhenger is commendable, and Hu Wei is not appreciated. I still can't bear to say goodbye, and things are also invaded. Self-banditry often walks forward, who can only sound this? Note
Tan Zhaozhao listened to Zhang Jiuling whispering in her ear, and she didn't understand much for a while, but she could understand the melancholy and apprehension in his poems.
I just can't bear to say goodbye......
That is Chang'an, which is more brilliant than a pearl in the long river of history.
It is the Chang'an that Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, and countless poets and writers yearn for and praise.
Tan Zhaozhao's mood at the moment is like the sky in front of him.
Clear, light.
She couldn't contain her excitement and left the small mansion, and there was no need to restrain herself.
Tan Zhaozhao laughed, put his hands to his mouth, and shouted: "Chang'an!! ”
The sound is crisp and cheerful, and it sinks into the sky, startling birds to skim the water.
Echoes could be heard in the mountains in the distance.
Chang'an, Chang'an, Chang'an......
