Zhang Ning explained his decision to refuse to propose marriage very tactfully, and the result was as expected. The faces of the uncle's family were like the weather when it was about to rain, and it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

The little girl was immediately unlucky. According to Zhang Jiujin, she quickly became a girl with a lot of problems, including being very ignorant and not able to use her brain. Perhaps the more familiar people are, the easier it is for them to be scolded without scruples.She, who was lively and happy not long ago, is now a different person, bowing her head without saying a word, feeling aggrieved and sad.

But Zhang Ning was treated differently. The uncle's dissatisfaction with him was palpable, but he didn't say a word of scolding.Even though he was a junior, Zhang Jiujin was instinctively in awe of him now that he was an official, so he never spoke ill of him from the beginning to the end.

"Don't blame my little sister, this matter is my idea." Zhang Ning quickly explained.He wasn't dissatisfied with his uncle's attitude, it was just human nature, but he felt that it was very unpleasant for them to shirk all the responsibility on the younger sister.Since he was born as a man, although he can't afford all the things and responsibilities, and maybe sometimes he can't rely on others to wipe his ass, but he must have a sense of responsibility. This is Zhang Ning's concept.

He said: "I also asked my younger sister in private, and she also said that the second son of the Su family is not bad, but after thinking about it a lot, I feel that the two families are too different, so it may not be suitable; Friends, now I promise that in case any conflicts arise in the future, it will ruin the friendship."

"What kind of reason is this, what is it..." Zhang Jiujin was a little emotional.

Zhang Ning said: "Let's give an example. The Su family is a big family with many rules, but our little sister doesn't understand those etiquette rules. This alone cannot be made up for in March and May. So I want to bring her by my side, see more See the world and learn some etiquette, and worry about her marriage after a while."

The cousin was surprised: "Erlang is going to take the younger sister to the capital?"

Zhang Jiujin finally couldn't help but let down his anger and said, "Okay! You take away Miss Zhang, we never raised her!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

In fact, Zhang Ning was also very upset at this time. The young man was very angry. If he hadn't endured it, he wanted to confront him.But any reasoning is useless. If you, a nephew, accuse your uncle, everyone will probably scold you in their hearts for reading into the stomach of a dog.

Without saying a word, he immediately knelt down in the courtyard.The brothers and sisters do not have parents now, and there is no difference in the status of uncle and father in the Ming Dynasty with strong clan values. It is not shameful to kneel down; and looking at the world from another angle, if it is not for the roots of the Zhang family, it is not for the father to adopt for food and study In the past, Zhang Ning was a pariah of unknown origin, who took Mao's imperial examination and became an official of Mao.This kneeling is to express gratitude for him.

Zhang Jiujin immediately stopped and said hurriedly, "Erlang, what are you doing?"

The whole family focused their eyes on Zhang Ning, somewhat surprised.It is true that seniority is high or low, but people in the world are snobbish. Zhang Ning's status in the family will become special when he becomes an official, and the family rules of merchants' families are not strict. present.

Zhang Ning said sincerely: "My father passed away early, and my uncle and sister-in-law took care of our brothers and sisters for many years, so my younger sister and I are what we are today. Tonight our brothers and sisters disobeyed the elders, Zhang Ning kowtowed to apologize, please calm down."

Seeing this, the little girl quickly knelt down behind and followed Zhang Ning to kowtow.

Zhang Jiujin's emotions were complicated, and he couldn't explain why. After all, he didn't have as many reasons as Zhang Ning's ink in his stomach.In fact, since Zhang Ning said that disobedience was a fault, he shouldn't challenge the Patriarch's decision, but he just pleaded guilty and had no intention of compromising, and still forcibly held the decision-making power.Zhang Jiujin really had no other choice, and said dejectedly: "Get up, get up, it's going to be like this tonight, make a lot of noise and make the neighbors laugh."

After the uncle finished speaking, he went straight back to his room, and his aunt and cousin hurried over to help them.My aunt Zou is a kind person, she keeps saying things like don't take it to heart.The family broke up unhappy and went back to their rooms.

The little girl looked at Zhang Ning timidly: "Brother, I got into a big disaster..."

"It's okay." Zhang Ning smiled gently at her, took her hand naturally, and walked towards the west wing.

Opening the door of the younger sister's room, Zhang Ning went to light the lamp, and was about to tell her to go upstairs to rest, but she held on to Zhang Ning's hand and said tremblingly: "Brother, send me up, I... I'm afraid I'm going to die. I have caused such a big disaster, will uncle come up and beat me..."

After all, she was a teenage girl, so she naturally didn't have the guts of Zhang Ning. In her heart, what happened tonight must be very serious.He nodded, held the lamp and sent her upstairs, while comforting him, he said: "Uncle is a bit fierce, but he is not a bad person, and he has no bad intentions towards my little sister. Why did he come to beat you in the middle of the night, don't worry."

The little girl stared at a pair of big bright eyes, watching him nod vigorously, but did not let go of her hands for a moment, grasping tightly reflected the tension in her heart.

After entering the younger sister's boudoir, it was night again, and he felt a little uncomfortable, so he advised her to go to bed early, so that she could skip washing tonight.Unexpectedly, the little girl was worried and said, "I don't want to be separated from my brother for a moment."

She begged pitifully: "I know what brother is going to say... just for one night, I'm really scared, please, don't leave me..."

"My brother is next door." Zhang Ning said.

She still didn't let go, "Did I do something wrong, my brother scolded me."

"There is nothing wrong with you." Zhang Ning said, "Actually, in my opinion, uncle is not right. There are not so many requirements for loving someone. He will love you no matter whether you can become a phoenix or not. But he is our elder. , and is also kind to us, don't worry about it with him... I just want to say that the little girl did nothing wrong, so there is no need to be burdened."

Zhang Xiaomei's eyes were all on him, she couldn't help but nodded, and asked again: "What does brother mean by love?"

Zhang Ning frowned and thought hard for a while, and he couldn't explain clearly, so he tried his best to describe: "I just want to see you laughing and living your life, and I want to share with you all the delicious and interesting things, and I am willing to share the most precious things." for you."

"Does my brother love me?" She continued to ask.

Zhang Ning froze there, staring into her eyes for a long while, as if he was enduring something, and finally said softly: "I love you." After he said it, his tone was extremely gentle.

She immediately threw herself into Zhang Ning's arms and hugged his neck tightly.The explanation was very vague, but she felt Zhang Ning's mood, and there was no need for any verbal explanation.She put her lips next to Zhang Ning's ear and whispered, "My little sister will never be separated from my brother for the rest of my life."

The window was not closed, and a gust of wind suddenly came in, blowing out the lamp, and the room was immediately shrouded in darkness.After a while, Zhang Ning put trembling hands on the little girl's waist and hugged her gently.Such a hug is difficult for him under the light, but the darkness gives him courage.

Maybe there is evil hidden in people's hearts, and they don't do bad things because they have to bear the consequences of being sanctioned in many ways... Then, if there is no price to pay for crimes, this will be the source of chaos.

Holding her body in his arms, Zhang Ning felt her beautiful figure, and the line of her small waist made people fondle admiringly.He can still clearly feel her breathing and her temperature, the distance is so close as if waking up for the first time.He was a little nervous, somehow his hand had moved to the side of the little girl's chest, and he could feel the outline through the cotton jacket, plus the soft touch of the chest, so he couldn't help but collect scattered senses in his mind, imagining weaving wearing the ru| room under the clothes.

He hastily and quietly moved his hand to her back.

Unexpectedly, the little girl didn't know much, but she was very sensitive and clever, as if she could "feel what she felt" in Zhang Ning's heart, and asked in a silly whisper, "Does brother want to touch my chest?"

Zhang Ning: "..."

"Those two things grow a little bit every year." She whispered softly. "It hurt a little at first, and I thought it was strange. Later, I saw that my sister-in-law and all women's breasts would bulge, so I thought it was nothing. My brother wanted to touch it." It doesn't matter if you say it, didn't you just say that you are willing to give to the other party?"

Zhang Ning coughed twice, but didn't speak or move.

The little girl sat up straight in her arms, and after a while she heard a rustling sound, Zhang Ning asked hurriedly, "What are you doing?"

"I untied the jacket, how can you touch it so thick?" the little girl said in a voice.

Zhang Ning hurriedly said, "I won't touch it!"

"I won't say it." Zhang Xiaomei said in a low voice.Zhang Ning hurriedly said: "Don't catch a cold, gather your clothes! I'll go light the lamp." He stood up from the bed, and groped to find a firefly on the table in front of the window.The weather is not very good tonight, there is no moon or stars, and the light is too dark.

Finally he found something, he pulled it out and found that there was not even a spark, he took two breaths, but there was no reaction at all, so he left it and asked, "Do you have any flint in your room?"

"Only in the kitchen." The little girl said, "Come here quickly, I can't see you."

"I want to go back to my room and sleep." Zhang Ning said.

Suddenly there was a heavy "boom", and then Xiaomei Zhang let out a cry of pain.Zhang Ning hurriedly asked: "What are you tossing about, did you fall?"

"I don't want you to go..." Zhang Xiaomei reluctantly said.Hearing the voice, Zhang Ning didn't know if she was injured, so he groped and walked over, his hands touched together in the dark, and Zhang Xiaomei immediately threw herself into his arms and hugged Gao Xing, "I've got you."

"I was really caught by you." Zhang Ning sighed.

She said coquettishly: "Brother stay with me, don't go."

Zhang Ning thought for a while and said, "Then you go to bed and lie down and cover yourself with the quilt. I'll sit on the edge of the bed and you hold my hand. I won't leave."

"What should you do if you are sick?" Zhang Xiaomei's voice asked.

Zhang Ning said: "I don't get sick so easily, just sitting for one night is not a big deal."
