Zhang Ning explained his decision to refuse to propose marriage very tactfully. As expected, his uncle's family's face looked like the weather was about to rain, and it seemed like it was bolt from the blue.
The little sister was in trouble immediately. In Zhang Jiujin's mouth, she quickly became a girl with no problem, including very ignorant and poor brains. Perhaps the more familiar people are, the more likely they are to encounter unscrupulous scolding.
She was still lively and happy just now, but now she is completely different. She lowered her head without saying a word, feeling aggrieved and sad.
However, Zhang Ning was treated differently. My uncle's dissatisfaction with him was beyond words, but there was no word of scolding.
Even though he is a junior, he is now instinctively awe, so he never spoke ill of evil words from beginning to end.
Don’t blame my little sister, this is my idea.
Zhang Ning hurriedly explained.
He was not just dissatisfied with his uncle's attitude or being a normal person, but felt that it was uncomfortable for them to shift all the responsibilities to his younger sister.
Since you are born as a man, although you cannot bear all the things and responsibilities, and may not be able to rely on others to wipe your butts at some point, you must have a mentality of being responsible. This is Zhang Ning's idea.
He said: I asked my younger sister privately, and she also said that the second son of the Su family is not bad, but after thinking about it from many aspects, I felt that the difference between the two families was too big and not necessarily suitable; and I and the eldest son of the Su family are friends, and now I promised that if there is any conflict in the future, it will ruin the relationship.
What is this? What is it... Zhang Jiujin was a little excited.
Zhang Ning said: Let’s give an example. The Su family is a wealthy family and has many rules. But our younger sister does not understand the etiquette rules. This alone cannot be made up for in three or five months.So I want to take her by my side, learn more about the world, and worry about her marriage after a while.
The cousin said in surprise: Erlang wants to take his younger sister to the capital?
Zhang Jiujin finally couldn't help but say angrily: OK!Sister Zhang, take her away, we have never raised her!After saying that, he turned around and left.
In fact, Zhang Ning was also very unhappy at this time. The young man was angry. If he hadn't endured it and wanted to do it, he had a lot of ideals to refute the past. Should he ignore the feelings of his own women if he had great achievements?
But any truth is useless. If you, a nephew, blame your uncle, you may scold you in your heart and read it into the dog's belly.
Without saying a word, he immediately fell to his knees in the courtyard.
The brother and sister have no parents now. The status of uncles and fathers in the Ming Dynasty with a strong clan concept is no different, so it is not embarrassing to kneel down. Moreover, looking at the world from another perspective, if it weren't for the Zhang family or the father's adoption to provide food and education, Zhang Ning used to be a bastard of unknown origin, and he took the imperial examination to become a Mao official.
This kneeling was to express his gratitude for him.
Zhang Jiujin immediately stopped and hurriedly said: Erlang, what are you doing?
The whole family focused their eyes on Zhang Ning, a little surprised.
The seniority is true, but people are snobbish. Zhang Ning's status at home will become special when he becomes an official and his family is not strict. Even Zhang Shicai rarely bows to his parents after he becomes an adult.
Zhang Ning said sincerely: My father died early, and my uncle and sister-in-law took care of our brother and sister for many years, so I and my younger sister are today.Tonight, my brother and sister disobeyed the elders, Zhang Ning kowtowed and apologized, please calm down.
Seeing this, the little sister quickly knelt down from behind and kowtowed with Zhang Ning.
Zhang Jiujin was in a complicated mood and couldn't tell the reason. He didn't have much ink in his stomach.
In fact, since Zhang Ning said that disobedience was a fault, he should not challenge the decision of the head of the family, but he just pleaded guilty and had no intention of compromise and still forced the decision-making power.
Zhang Jiujin really had no choice but to say dejectedly: Get up, get up, it's all tonight, making noise and making fun of the neighbors.
After the uncle finished speaking, he went straight back to the room. The uncle and his cousin hurried over to help them.
My uncle Zou is a kind person, and he keeps saying things like don’t take it to heart.
The whole family parted in disagreement and went back to their rooms.
The little sister looked at Zhang Ning timidly: Brother, I'm in a big trouble...
fine.Zhang Ning smiled gently at her, naturally held her hand and walked towards the west wing.
After opening the door of the little sister's room, Zhang Ning went to hold the lights. She was about to ask her to go upstairs to rest, but she grabbed Zhang Ning's hand and said tremblingly: Brother, I'm so scared.If I have caused such a big disaster, will my uncle come up and beat me...
After all, she is a teenage girl, so naturally she doesn’t have the courage to Zhang Ning. In her mind, what happened tonight must be very serious.
He nodded and took her upstairs with the lights, comforting her: Uncle is a bit fierce, but he is not a bad person and has no bad intentions towards his younger sister. How could he come to beat you in the middle of the night? Don't worry.
The little sister stared at her big bright eyes and nodded vigorously at him, but she didn't let go of her hands for a moment. She grabbed her tightly and reflected her inner tension.
After entering the little sister's boudoir, it was night again. He felt it was a little bad, so he advised her to have a sleep early and wash away tonight.
Unexpectedly, the little sister was worried and said: I don’t want to be separated from my brother for a moment.
She begged with great gaze: I know what my brother is going to say... I just spent one night, I was really scared, please don't leave me...
My brother is next door.Zhang Ning said.
She still refused to let go. Did I do something wrong? Brother will scold me.
You are not wrong.
Zhang Ning said, in fact, in my opinion, uncle is not very right. There are not so many requirements for loving someone. No matter whether you can become a phoenix or not, I will love you.But he is our elder and he is kind to us, so don’t bother with him... I just want to say that my little sister did nothing wrong and there is no need to be burdened.
Zhang Xiaomei's eyes were full of him, and she nodded in her ears and asked again: What does the brother mean by love?
Zhang Ning frowned and thought for a while, but he couldn't explain clearly, so he had to try his best to describe: I just want to see you live a smile, I want to share with you any delicious food and fun, and I am willing to give you the most precious things.
Do your brother love me?She continued to ask.
Zhang Ning stood there, looking at her eyes silent for a while, as if she was enduring something, and finally said softly: I love you.After saying 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 language to explain.
She pressed her lips against Zhang Ning's ear and whispered: My little sister will never be separated from her brother in her life.
The window was not closed, and suddenly a gust of wind blew in, and the lights were blown out, and the room was immediately shrouded in darkness.
After a while, Zhang Ning put his hand on the little girl's waist and gently hugged her.
It is difficult for him to do such a hug under the light, but darkness gives people courage.
Perhaps there is a sin in a person's heart. Don't do bad things because you have to bear the consequences of being sanctioned in multiple ways... Then, if you don't have to pay a price for committing a crime, it will be the source of chaos.
Holding her body, Zhang Ning felt her beautiful figure, and the lines of her slim waist were so heart-warming that people couldn't let go.
He could also clearly feel her breathing and her temperature, so close as if he had woken up for the first time.
He was a little nervous. Somehow his hand had moved to the younger sister's side chest. He could feel the outline and the soft touch of his chest through the cotton jacket, which made him unable to help but collect scattered senses in his mind and imagine knitting the breasts under his clothes.
He hurriedly moved his hand to her back quietly.
Unexpectedly, the younger sister didn't know much, but she was very sensitive and clever, as if she could empathize with her. Zhang Ning asked in a silly voice: Do you want to touch my breasts?
Zhang Ning: ...
Those two things have to grow up a little bit every year.
She whispered quietly, "It hurts a little at first, but I feel strange. Later, when I saw that my sister-in-law and all the women's breasts would bulge, I felt nothing."It doesn’t matter if my brother wants to touch it. Didn’t you just say that you are willing to give anything to the other party?
Zhang Ning coughed twice, without saying anything or moving.
The little sister sat upright from her arms, and after a while he heard a rustling sound. Zhang Ning hurriedly asked: What are you doing?
I untied my jacket. How can you touch it so thick?The little sister said in her voice.
Zhang Ning hurriedly said: I won’t touch it!
I won't say it out.
Zhang Xiaomei whispered.
Zhang Ning hurriedly said: Don’t catch a cold, win over your clothes!I'll go and hold the lights.
After saying that, he stood up from the bed and fumbled to the table in front of the window to find the fire stick.
The weather was not very good tonight, there were no moon and stars, and the light was so dark.
Finally he found something, and he pulled it open and found that there was no spark at all. Huhu, he blew a few breaths and didn't even react. He had to throw it down and ask: Is there any flint in your room?
Only in the kitchen.The little sister said, come here soon, I can’t see you anymore.
I want to go back to my room to sleep.Zhang Ning said.
Suddenly there was a heavy sound, and then Zhang Xiaomei screamed in pain.Zhang Ning hurriedly asked: What are you trying to do? Are you falling?
I don't want you to leave... Zhang Xiaomei said reluctantly.
Zhang Ning heard the sound and didn't know if she was injured, so he fumbled over and touched her hands together in the darkness. Zhang Xiaomei immediately threw herself into his arms and hugged her tightly and said happily, "Catch you."
You really caught it.Zhang Ning sighed.
She acted coquettishly and said: Brother, please stay with me, don’t leave.
Zhang Ning thought for a while and said: Then go to bed and lie down with your body and cover it with a quilt. I will sit by the bed. You hold my hand and I won’t leave.
What should you do if you are sick?Zhang Xiaomei said in her voice.
Zhang Ning said: I am not that easy to get sick, just sitting for one night is not a big deal.
The little sister was in trouble immediately. In Zhang Jiujin's mouth, she quickly became a girl with no problem, including very ignorant and poor brains. Perhaps the more familiar people are, the more likely they are to encounter unscrupulous scolding.
She was still lively and happy just now, but now she is completely different. She lowered her head without saying a word, feeling aggrieved and sad.
