Ping An Biography

38 1 Handkerchief

The family is reunited today. Whether it is the family atmosphere, the common interests shown, or the pride shown by the uncles and the others for being an official, Zhang Ning really realizes that he is a member of the Zhang family.There is also the situation where the eldest brother Zhang Shicai was joking with the younger sister just now, and the uncle educated the younger sister with pedantic dogma. Family affection brings not only warmth, but also pours cold water on Zhang Ning's head: I have a shameful mentality towards my younger sister. ?What is going to happen to the corset I bought at the silk shop?

The little girl is emotionally dependent on her elder brother. Some of her petty actions may be inappropriate, but she is only a teenage girl, she has no sense of proportion, and she has no sense of proportion in her two lives?

Zhang Ning does not want to admit the "dirtyness" in his heart, but only wants to admit that he has a secret psychology, perhaps because his busy life is too impetuous and lacks clarity and calmness.And now is the time to wake up.

Fortunately, I bought something and hid it but didn't sell it. The loss was only 12 taels of silver.Everyone should pay the corresponding price for doing something wrong. If you don't do whatever you want, you can just smile and get it done.

After figuring out the relationship between them, Zhang Ning felt a lot more relaxed: because he was confused for a while and had bad intentions, he spent 12 taels of silver in vain.This kind of ease is like a person who escaped from the law and finally surrendered and was released after serving his sentence. He is guilty but has already been punished, and he owes nothing.

The night was getting darker, and the younger sister was still tidying up in her room. After Zhang Ning and the uncle had finished talking about Ma Wenchang and the Wang family, they said frankly: "The younger sister is still cleaning the room. I'll go up and see her. She talks."

Zhang Shicai nodded and said with a smile: "Little sister talks about you almost every day, and you really worry her, so we're going to break up and rest early on New Year's Eve tomorrow."

In the eyes of the eldest brother and the others, it is normal for Zhang Ning and the younger sister to have a close relationship. Their parents are gone, and they are the closest, and even Zhang Jiujin is slightly separated from each other.Zhang Ning almost made himself think this way now, but caring about his sister also has some old wounds and regrets in his heart, so it should be so and nothing more.

He no longer felt guilty, entered the wing room openly and generously, and walked up the rough and rough stairs that "creaked".As soon as he opened the door, he saw that the little girl was lying on the desk and carefully wiping the table with a cloth. Zhang Ning was stunned to see the spotless condition of the room, feeling that there was not even a place to step down.

"No need for that..." he said.

The bedroom is very poorly furnished, and the furniture is relatively old. There is only one window, and the stairway is dark, and the lighting is not good.It was too easy for her to make such a bedroom like this.

"Brother!" The little girl raised her head happily, and wiped her forehead with her sleeve naturally, she really looked like that, no matter what she did, she was very cute, "Brother, they really are, talking to you all night about those boring things about...why don't you come in?"

After she finished speaking, she walked up, grabbed Zhang Ning's arm naturally and pulled it into her arms, "Come and sit here, brother has worked hard outside, go home and have a good rest."

"Eh." Zhang Ning didn't know what to say, if he was always talking about whether a man and a woman could kiss each other, he seemed to be turning into an old woman.I can only think so, although in the Ming Dynasty, the rules of ordinary families like the Zhang family were very casual.

"Actually, when you are not around, I will help you clean the house almost every day." The little girl's expression looks very excited, but she can only say such things. Most of the time, words cannot express her feelings, especially When we actually meet.She raised her mouth and said, "But the past few days are suddenly very busy. There is a lot of work brought back from the shop, and I have to prepare things for the New Year, so I am lazy. How can I expect you to come back at this time? Do you think it is a coincidence? I have to Immediately rushing to help you clean up."

Zhang Ning thought to himself, why no one is cleaning it.But of course he understands that the little girl is just expressing a feeling, not about housework. At this time, it is impossible for people to directly say "Brother, I miss you so much".He nodded his head, "Yes", expressing his understanding.

He had already sat down on the chair in front of the window, and was ready to chat with his little sister about homework with great interest.The little girl couldn't sit still at this time, her delicate body swayed back and forth in front of her, like a light dance; listening to the voice was even more enjoyable, although it wasn't a big deal: "Brother used to sit the most This is the place where you are reading, I can hear you reading every day, suddenly there is no one on this chair and the sound of reading is no longer heard, it seems that there is an empty place..."

Looking around, Zhang Ning saw such a simple and small room with such a small window. Zhang Ning used to study hard here for 20 years. With a sigh, shouldn't it be ordinary loneliness and hardship?

The little girl was still talking, and went to the cabinet to get an old thread-bound book of "University", stuffed it in Zhang Ning's bed, and then sat across from him, resting her chin with both hands and using a pair of smart big Looking at him: "My brother just took a book and talked to me."

Zhang Ning's posture of pretending|competition is too two hundred and five, and he is angry and funny, so he throws "University" on the table.

The little girl said angrily: "Brother doesn't seem to want to talk to me! I'm talking here alone, and you just um, do you think I'm annoying?"

"No, my little sister's voice is so nice, I love it so I don't want to interrupt." Zhang Ning said hastily.

"Is that so?" She smiled.

Zhang Ning nodded without hesitation: "Whether I'm annoying you or not, you can tell by looking at my eyes, you don't need to listen to what I have to say."

The little girl didn't know what she thought of, she suddenly covered her mouth and let out a chuckle, probably remembering that she always went to see her when there were guests at home?Zhang Ning thought that he had guessed her little thoughts, and smiled quite complacently, thinking that the little girl's family still hoped that someone would care about her, but the uncle and the others only had rigid dogma.

So the little girl also temporarily quieted down, and sat across from Zhang Ning, looking at each other in silence.Zhang Ning looked at her face, which was still a bit childish, but all parts were well-proportioned and well-proportioned. For example, the forehead looked full, but it was not bulging at all, and the outline was quite beautiful... If the girl didn't wear the coarse cloth dress on her body , Dressing up will definitely make people amazing.

She finally couldn't help but talk about her daughter's thoughts again, and she described all thoughts very euphemistically, like the misty rain in the alleys in the south of the Yangtze River, soft and hazy, soft and quiet, not thrilling but as long as you listen carefully Can experience a kind of tenderness.

Zhang Ning felt very safe, relaxed, and comfortable. His whole body was soft and warm, like a bed in the early morning of winter, making people enjoy being too lazy to move.

Fleeing in embarrassment all the way from the capital to the capital, and running all the way from Beijing to Yangzhou, and back to the capital from Yangzhou, Zhang Ning had all kinds of emotions but didn't feel tired at all, but at this time, a powerful exhaustion and tiredness hit his heart .Maybe a lot of pressure outside is pent up, but once put into this gentle village, many things are slowly released, just like a piece of soil is getting harder and harder when it is thrown into warm water... Zhang Ning's eyelids Can't stop fighting.

Seeing this, the little girl said, "I'll get you some water to wash your feet, and you should get a good night's sleep first."

"En." Zhang Ning responded.

He has a bad habit of being lazy in his daily life, and at this time he is even more lazy and doesn't want to move, and has become a little sister to serve him.Fortunately, the little girl is diligent and doesn't bother to do such trivial things, so Zhang Ning simply can't help but take advantage of her.

When he sat on the edge of the bed, he was so sleepy that he said, "Little sister is going back to rest soon, let's talk again tomorrow."

"Brother, don't you have other things to be busy with tomorrow?" She pursed her lips, and then smiled casually, "But you can just do your thing with peace of mind, just like you used to read your books. I'm leaving... Take off your clothes and give them to me, and tomorrow morning you will get another clean one from the closet, which was hung to dry not long ago."

"Oh, good." After Zhang Ning said, he untied his belt, and took off his clothes until only his underwear and underwear were left, and even the socks were given to the younger sister for washing.There is a hard-working girl in the family, and her life is indescribably comfortable... She is an official in the capital, and she has to wash her own clothes. Zhang Ning doesn't think that as Niu Er who does chores, that smirking follower who has nothing to do can wash a lot of clothes clean.

The familiar "creaking" sound came from the stairs. Zhang Ning pulled the quilt and lay down, comfortably ready to fall asleep.

Unexpectedly, the stairs sounded again after a while, and he turned his head to look at the door to see who came in, it was probably because the younger sister came back and there was nothing else to do.As expected, the little girl opened the door and stood at the door with a pile of clothes in her arms, but her face was flushed with embarrassment.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ning asked.

Zhang Xiaomei stretched out her hand and took out something light red. The color and material were mostly transparent gauze.Seeing this, Zhang Ning felt a "thud" in his heart, and immediately understood what it was.

"I forgot to ask you to take out your things just now, such as bank notes and stamped letters, and I found this." Zhang Xiaomei's voice became softer as she spoke, "Is it for me?"

"A handkerchief..." Zhang Ning rubbed his chin, trying to find an excuse.

Zhang Xiaomei's shoulders trembled for a while, her lips were pursed and her body was already shaking with laughter: "A handkerchief?"

"Don't care what it is, it's not for you anyway." Zhang Ning tried hard to keep his face serious, and he had already woken up from sleep for five minutes.

Zhang Xiaomei laughed again and asked, "Who is that for?"

"Oh yes!" Zhang Ning stared, "Your future sister-in-law is the daughter of Master Yang's family."

"Sister-in-law is far away in the capital, you bought her things before you got home? Brother, you can admit it generously, you bought it for me. I think so too. Brother, besides buying cloth ginseng tea leaves, he bought another one for everyone when he came back. As a gift, why don't I have mine..." Zhang Xiaomei rolled her eyes, and imitated him and said solemnly, "Well, it should be like this: last time you lost... a handkerchief from someone else. I just want to buy the same thing for me. But, you are too embarrassed to give it to me, so you talk and lie, what's wrong with that?"

Zhang Ning was speechless.

"Anyway, I took it. If you still want to find an excuse, then you have to buy another piece as a gift. This is mine." The little girl was not polite at all, with a smile on her face.

Then Zhang Ning hurriedly said: "If it is not suitable, you will lose it, and my brother will give you money to buy it again."
