Gaoyang, return to the Yuan Marquis' Mansion.

"Lord Zhang wanted to see the concubine, but now he sees it, but he doesn't say a word. It's confusing to me. ”

In a secluded courtyard to the west of the Hou Mansion, Su Ruan and Zhang Qi sat opposite each other. In the afternoon, the sun was just right, and the sun poured in, shining brightly on Su Ruan's head.

"Since Qi entered Longxi, it has been nearly two months, but it is the first time I saw my wife, I was nervous for a while, I don't know what to say, don't blame my wife." Zhang Qi smiled and touched his crutches, a man in his twenties had a shy look on his face.

"Has Master Zhang ever been married?" Su Ruan was not in a hurry, but started a routine with him.

"I thought Madame had all the news about me." Zhang Qi replied first, smiled again, and then said, "My mother was anxious, and when I was twenty years old, she asked me to marry." As you know, I've been bad at walking since I was a teenager, and I was a disgraced person in my family before this situation. I married my mother's niece, but I told my mother to say all the good things in her mother's house. Fortunately, my wife is virtuous, not only for me to respect my parents, but also to feed me, when I left Beijing the night before, I was already pregnant for three months, but even my regret has been filled. ”

"In the spring of next year, Master Zhang will be a father, congratulations." Su Ruan heard his words, but his expression was still calm, and his smile when he said congratulations was also sincere.

Zhang Qi couldn't help but applaud her in his heart, thinking that the mention of the heir could make the murdered and infertile Mrs. Hui'an touch, but he didn't want people to still look calm.

It's just that for a while, Zhang Qi didn't know what to say to her, so he just smiled. The room was once again quiet as before, and neither of them took the initiative to speak, but it seemed to be a contest of patience. Zhang Qi has been a little transparent in the family for 20 years, and what he has done the most is to bury himself in the scriptures, study the gold and stone cultural relics, and sit without saying a word all day long, all of which are ordinary. As for Su Ruan, in the years before he met Li Jiangyuan, he was trapped in a small courtyard, and his cronies were all dead or driven out of the mansion, and he wanted to speak every day, but he didn't know who to say to.

"Lord Zhang, are you still used to living these days?" In the end, Su Ruan opened her mouth first, not for the side, but she and Zhang Qi met in private, and they never informed Li Jiangyuan, counting the time, Li Jiangyuan will not be back home in a long time, and she and Zhang Qi will not spend a lot of time.

"Except for the first two days, I was a little wronged. In the past few days, even the blood swallows have eaten, and they are very moisturized. Although Zhang Qi is only in his twenties, his cheeky cultivation is also good, and he has such a smiling tone, but with an unusually sincere face.

Su Ruan was so good, he was not moved by his cynicism at all, but smiled slightly: "Master Zhang's body is thin in the end, in this place of Longxi, the son of Qingyuan does not make up for his body, and he probably can't bear it." ”

"Qi, although it is not good at walking, but this body is still good. Although the family is not favored, it has never been mistreated. Zhang Qi shook his head, seeing that Su Ruan was Qingyuan when he opened and closed his mouth, he was happy to continue the topic, "Madame is also from Qingyuan, how can I not know that there are twists and turns in the big family." Some people are proud and some are unhappy, who is not like this, not only in our big mansion, in the final analysis, for the superior, but also in his position to seek his own government. Qi didn't want to do it when he was young, but when he sat in my position, he had to understand one thing first, personal joys, sorrows, and sorrows were really not worth mentioning in a big family of hundreds of people. ”

"It's hypocritical for Master Zhang to say that." Su Ruan's hibiscus face showed a bit of sarcasm, "As far as I know, no matter what, the position of the head of this family will not be your turn." ”

"Anyway? Now, isn't that the case? Zhang Qi shook his head nonchalantly, but there was a smile on his young face that did not match his age, "What does Madame want?" If you want me to say, you are already seeking kindness, and if you have any other thoughts, then you really want to be. ”

"Desire?"

"Madame is a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go, but the woman's family takes the word love too seriously, but it's cumbersome, isn't it?" Zhang Qi sighed again, without the consciousness of being a prisoner, it was very sincere to persuade people, "Madame has suffered and someone will compensate her." Now his behavior seems to be angry. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. If Madame really asks who to collect the debt again, it shouldn't be at this time. If Madame can let go of her heart at this moment, with you, how can you not tell the current situation. You shouldn't go your own way, at this time, Hou Ye Li has occupied such an advantage, but he has also put himself in danger, where to go next, Qi, please think twice. ”

Su Ruan's pair of phoenix eyes of the Su family were slightly raised, and at this time, this squinting action actually made Zhang Qi see a little bit of Su Guogong's appearance, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, after all, it was a family.

Zhang Qi calmly drank a full cup of tea in his hand, only to hear Su Ruan speak slowly, his tone was gentle, and his tail note rose unconsciously with an indescribable coquettishness: "I have heard for a long time, Xuanjia Langjun is a hard-hearted character, what do you think?" ”

"The fellowship of men is like a fish drinking water, and it knows its own warmth and coldness."

"Lord Fang Cai persuaded me to restrain me from the precipice, but my lord still doesn't know, yesterday Zheng Xuan and the two adults, in a hundred miles outside Gaoyang County, encountered a gang of rogues, and their guards were all killed, and the whereabouts of the two of them are unknown."

"What?" Zhang Qi's light scholarly face shattered to the ground in an instant, and his clear eyes were full of worry. When he looked into Su Ruan's clear phoenix eyes, the look on his face suddenly tensed, and he didn't dare to reveal half of his emotions.

"Master Zhang also said just now, since I dare to ask you to come to Gaoyang, I will naturally find out you clearly, and the interaction between you and Xuanjia Langjun has not been deliberately concealed, and I also know it well. Today, I just wanted to ask you where the two of them might go. ”

"Mrs. Hui'an." Zhang Qi's eyebrows were pale, and when he wrinkled into one place, his expression was cold and amazing, and the moistness that soaked out of the historical relics on his body was all dispersed at this time, and even the posture of his body changed into the appearance of a family member in an instant, "I want to ask you, the Guiyuan Marquis Mansion prides itself on controlling Longxi in his hands, so how can there be a rogue in a place hundreds of miles away from the Hou Mansion?" I really don't know who is the one who dares to be a rogue here, who has such courage and strength, and can play this majesty in front of you? ”

The calmness on Su Ruan's face at this time was also a little unbearable. She has been working with Zhang Qi for a long time, but she doesn't want to show this matter, and what she cares about is the current situation. When Zheng Xuan's whereabouts were unknown, the offensive and defensive situation of Guiyuan Houfu and Zhang Qi changed positions in an instant, and even more, Yanping Hou's Mansion also folded people in, not to mention that the Hou lady in his house had already made a fuss, and Xing Tao also came with heavy guards to ask for an explanation.

"Since Lord Zhang has a close relationship with Lord Xuan, you might as well point me out one or two, and I can immediately point someone to find the whereabouts of the two of them." Su Ruan lowered his head, made a gesture of weakness, and softened his tone a little, "In today's situation, no one wants to see it, if you drag it out and don't speak, it will be no good for others and yourself." ”

"How do I know you're not lying to me? Besides, I have only been in Longxi for two months, and it has been less than 20 days since Qin Cha came here. Zhang Qi calmed down at this time, sneering with a cold look, and looked a little more like a politician.

Su Ruan sighed in his heart, and then took out a small bag from his cuffs, which was originally a jade pendant wrapped in a handkerchief, and there seemed to be blood stains on it. Zhang Qi's gaze was fixed on it when she took out the jade pendant, and when Su Ruan saw his appearance, he also knew that this object was the right person.

"How did you get this jade pendant?" Zhang Qi raised his head suddenly, his eyes were fierce and pressing, and Su Ruan was shocked for a moment.

"The guards of the Hou Mansion a hundred miles outside the city picked it up from the pool of blood, although I have been away from Beijing for decades, I still recognize the emblem of the Xuan family." Su Ruan tilted his head slightly, and subconsciously avoided Zhang Qi's gaze, which was too cold and made people tremble.

"Right now, I'm also a hot potato." Zhang Qi naturally recognized the jade pendant, as if he was unsure, and put it in the palm of his hand and weighed it several times, and when he put it back on the table, he returned to Fang Cai's unfathomable appearance, his eyes were deep, but he did not see the fierceness.

"Has Mrs. Hui'an figured out what to do with me?"

"Disposition? You are an official of the imperial court, and I am a deep lady, where can I say such a thing. ”

"At this point, you're still going around in circles with me, but it's boring. I don't know, if the Marquis of Guiyuan also behaves like this, since you can't be the master, you might as well ask the Hou Ye to come and talk to me. ”

"Say, what do you want?"

"I'm tired of living in the Hou Mansion."

"Tomorrow I will send someone to you to send you to the county guard's mansion, the county guard's mansion was robbed by thieves before, and now it has been repaired, so you are satisfied."

"As the head of a county, I can't take the court for nothing, as an official, all I want is to go to Changping step by step."

"Guiyuan Houfu will not block Lord Zhang's road to ascension, Gaoyang County is governed by its own court officials, and the Houfu is just a noble family."

"The situation in Longxi, I want to go up to the fold to listen to the sky."

"This, my lord's move, is a little unauthentic."

"Now that the situation has reached this point, Madame will not still have illusions."

Su Ruan was forced by his words, so he was silent for a moment, and just nodded slowly.

"Madame is wise." Zhang Qi showed a faint smile and said, "I advise Mrs. to think about it carefully, how to explain to the Zheng family and the Xuan family." Both adults should have injuries on their bodies, so you may wish to check them out from the doctor's office. As for the thoughtfulness of these two, Madame must know better than me. ”

"Thank you, sir."

"I advise Mrs. to think twice before doing anything, lest you really can't end the show in the future and can't get off the stage."

"When the adults are tired, I won't bother."

It wasn't until Su Ruan's figure disappeared from Zhang Qi's sight that he grabbed the tea cup on the table suddenly, while the other hand that poured the tea was trembling, and the water in the cup had not yet been poured into it, but the table was in a mess.

The jade pendant on the table is not the style that Xuanxi usually wears, and it is made like this for the purpose of transmitting news at an extraordinary time.

On this piece, the Pisces pattern is engraved, which means that it is dangerous.

What Su Ruan said is true, but I am afraid that Li Jiangyuan really moved to kill him, and Su Ruan obviously has a disagreement with him, and the vitality of Zheng Xuan and the others is in this disagreement.

Shi is a confidant, and he is also going to fight for Xuanxi.
