Chapter 23: Untitled

The sun smeared into the study through the thick rhombic veil, and was sifted into various patterns by the lines of the window screen, as if they were some unknown characters, adding a touch of mystery and tranquility to the study full of ink fragrance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhen Zhen prepared the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and wrote a poem of Tang Bohu's "Peach Blossom Temple" in Qigong font

"Peach blossom nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, peach blossom fairy in peach blossom nunnery.

The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees and folded flower branches as wine money.

When you wake up, you only sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you have to sleep with the flowers.

Day after day after flower, drunkenness and sobering year after year.

I don't want to bow in front of the carriage and horses, but I hope that the old man will die in the wine room.

The car dust and horses are full of fun for the rich, and the wine cup is rich in flowers.

If you compare the rich with the poor, one on the flat earth and the other in the sky.

If the poor are compared to chariots and horses, he has to drive me to be idle.

The world laughs at me for being crazy, and I sigh that the world can't see through it.

I remember the tomb of Wuling Haojie, no wine and no flowers. ”

After writing it, Zhen Zhen read it carefully several times, and after confirming that there was no problem, she wrote the year and month and stamped her own seal.

"Qiu Jin, carefully put the calligraphy and painting on the couch to dry." Zhen Zhen wiped her hands with a handkerchief, wondering what to paint.

Since you want others to see your strength, there is no need to hide it at this time.

"Qiu Yan, you go and call Mother Rong over." Zhen Zhen thought about it again and again and decided to paint Tang Bohu's "Lonely Bird in the Falling Sun".

The painting takes a long time, and it must be done in one go, and you must ensure that you do not allow any interruption during the time you are painting.

"Miss." Rong's mother quickly entered the small study.

"Mother Rong, I want to paint, you arrange someone to guard the yard, no matter what, no matter what I do, no one is allowed to disturb me before I finish painting."

Mother Rong nodded, "Miss's lunch at noon...... "Miss doesn't know when this painting will be."

"I'll bring back the food at noon, and you can eat it first." Zhen Zhen is very aware of her current situation, even if she goes to the kitchen in the middle of the afternoon to start over.

Zhen Zhen told Rong's mother to arrange everything, let Qiu Jin and Qiu Yan wait by the side, and concentrate on painting.

When Zhen Zhen finally finished painting, there was no one in the courtyard to disturb her, but Qiu Man seemed to be preoccupied since she returned to the courtyard, and she stood in the courtyard in a daze.

"Qiu Man, go to dinner." After Zhen Zhen had eaten, Qiu Jin came out to urge Qiu Man to eat.

Qiu Man glanced at Qiu Jin, "Sister Qiu Jin, has Mother Rong eaten?" ”

Qiu Jin glanced at Qiu Man, "After eating, you hurry up and eat." ”

Qiu Man pondered for a while before entering the ear room, "Qiu Rui, you go and call Mother Rong over, don't let Miss see it." ”

Qiu Rui didn't think much about it, ate the last bite of food, and turned to go out.

"You girl, what's mysterious?" Rong's mother opened the curtain and entered the ear room.

Qiu Man saw Mother Rong's tears falling like beads with broken threads, "Mother Rong, Miss... Miss ......"

"You girl, what are you crying about? What's wrong with Miss? "Mother Rong is a little unhappy, why is this child getting older and more unruly?

"The Duchess of Huguo has entered the mansion, and I heard that I was here to propose to the young lady." Qiu Man finally spoke up.

Mother Rong was about to sit down, but when she heard Qiu Man's words, she staggered, "What did you say?" The Duchess of the Protector proposed to the young lady? Whose son-in-law did he propose? "The person who can invite the Duchess of the Protector to come to the door to propose relatives is definitely a relative of the emperor!

"Mother Rong, it's a kiss for the fourth prince of the Protector's Mansion." Qiu Man told him in detail about what he had inquired about.

"So the guest that the old lady received in the morning was the Duchess of the Protector?" Mother Rong's heart churned like a stormy wave.

Isn't the fourth son of the Protector's Mansion the famous Baili Xiao in the capital? Is that the one who brought his illegitimate child into the house a few years ago?

Mother Rong sat on the bench sluggishly, a little stupid, how could they tell Miss to such a person?

"Mother Rong, what now?" Qiu Man sobbed and felt distressed for the young lady.

Mother Rong knew that it was useless to say anything now, unless Hou Ye came back immediately, there was absolutely no room for things to turn around.

"I guess this matter has spread all over the house, so I'll go tell Miss. Let Miss ......" Rong's mother's voice was a little choked, why is Miss's life so bitter?

Zhen Zhen stood for a while after eating and then went to the small study again, "Qiu Jin, let's see if Qiu Man has eaten, let her come over after eating." ”

Zhen Zhen looked at the two calligraphy and paintings carefully and carefully, success or failure depends on this, if she succeeds, then she will have enough confidence to arrange the life she wants in the future, even if she can't escape the fate of marrying, at least she can guarantee the life she wants.

"Miss." Rong's mother entered the small study and let Qiu Jin and Qiu Yan go down.

Zhen Zhen raised her head and glanced at Rong's mother, who was a little embarrassed, and raised her eyebrows to signal Rong's mother to speak.

"Miss, I'm afraid the family matter has been decided!" Mother Rong tried to keep her tone calm and composed, so as not to affect the young lady's mood.

"Who's home?" Zhen Zhen lowered her head and continued to look at the calligraphy and paintings on the desk.

Mother Rong glanced at Miss with some surprise, Miss didn't seem to care?

"I'm afraid it's the fourth young master of the Protector's Mansion."

"Baili Xiao?"

"Yes, Baili Xiao." Mother Rong's tone trembled slightly.

Zhen Zhen smiled, "Could it be that the famous gentleman in the capital, the one who took his illegitimate son back to his house?" "I heard Qiu Man talk about this a few days ago.

"Miss." Mother Rong finally couldn't bear it anymore, Miss pretended to be nothing in front of her, but Miss was ...... in her heart

"Mother Rong, don't worry about me, I've thought of this a long time ago. You go and tidy up the people in the yard in a while, I don't want to make any bad rumors about this matter. ”

It's actually the one from the Protector's Mansion? Interesting. But it's not bad to think about it, it is said that the person is a little unruly, but his appearance is very eye-catching.

Although no one has been willing to marry their daughter in the past few years, there are still many people who like that.

"Miss." Qiu Man entered the study, his eyes were a little red and swollen.

Zhen Zhen knew that the news of Rong's mother was probably inquired by Qiu Man.

"Qiu Man, is your brother ready?" In the morning, Zhen Zhen gave Qiu Man a silver ticket of one hundred taels and asked Xiao Wu to buy a suit.

"Miss, my brother said that after lunch, he would wait for Miss's instructions outside the house."

"You tell Xiao Wu like this......" Zhen Zhen explained this and this way, and then wrapped the two calligraphy and paintings she had sorted out in an ordinary blue cloth that Qiu Jin had brought. It was handed to Qiu Man.

"You let Mother Rong go out with you." Zhen Zhen explained and let Qiu Man go out.

Zhen Zhen asked Qiu Jin to come into the study to clean up, and went out to walk around the yard a few times before preparing to go back to the house.

At this time, a giggling sound came from the Hanging Flower Gate, "Third sister is so interested?" ”

Zhen Zhen turned around and saw that it was the fourth lady Ye Huanhuan who came over with two girls.

Zhen Zhen sneered in her heart, it seems that someone can't help it.

Zhen Zhen didn't speak, she stood in the courtyard and looked at Miss Four.

Ye Huanhuan walked up to Zhen Zhen, but she saluted obediently, looking at Zhen Zhen's eyes full of gloating.

"The fourth sister is in a good mood, huh?" Zhen Zhen said as she walked into the room.

Huan Huan looked at Zhen Zhen's face with no special expression, and wondered in her heart, didn't she know anything about herself.

The group entered the east pavilion of the main house, and before they could sit down, there was a report from outside, saying that the second lady was coming.

Zhen Zhen was almost happy, so she couldn't wait to see her own jokes?

"Invite the second sister in." Zhen Zhen's unusually enthusiastic attitude made Huan Huan a little unhappy, and she was lukewarm when she came over, as soon as the second sister came......

Zhen Zhen got up and went out, and as soon as she left the door of the East Pavilion, she saw the second lady Ye Qianqian take off her cloak and come in.

"Second sister, how can I have time to come to my sister's place in such a cold weather." After giving the salute, Zhen Zhen warmly took Sissi's hand, and seemed to be a little flattered.

A hint of strangeness suddenly flashed in Sissi's heart, why did she suddenly ......

Zhen Zhen enthusiastically let Sissi to the couch, personally brought the tea and handed it over, "Second sister drink some hot tea to warm up first." ”

"Third sister, sit down, let's talk sisters." Sissi put down the tea cup in her hand and looked at Zhen Zhen with a small smile.

Zhen Zhen sat down, didn't speak, picked up the tea and drank it in small sips.

"The third sister has been in better health lately, right?" Sissi was the first to express her concern.

"Thank you for your concern, my sister's health is fine." Zhen Zhen grinned without a city.

Qian Qian gave Huan Huan a color without a trace, and Zhen Zhen pursed her lips secretly, so she wanted to see her reaction? I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint them.

"Third sister, don't be too sad." The fourth young lady Huan Huan persuaded with a sad expression.

"Yes, third sister, although ......" Without waiting for Sissi to add, Zhen Zhen immediately stared at the two of them with big curious eyes.

"What did the second sister and the fourth sister say? Is there something going on in the house that makes me sad? "Listen, what happened is something that makes you feel sorry.

Qian Qian and Huan Huan are a little unsettled, don't you know this one yet? Or do you pretend to be strong in front of yourself?

"Third sister, today the Duchess of Huguo entered the mansion to ask the fourth young master of her family to marry the third sister, and she has already exchanged Geng stickers."

"So my family affair is settled?" Zhen Zhen still looked ignorant, "Shouldn't you congratulate you on the family affair?" Why should I be sad? ”

"Doesn't the third sister know who the fourth young master is?" Sissi was a little uncomfortable, how could it be different from what she imagined.

"Could it be that the second sister and the fourth sister know the fourth young master?" Zhen Zhen was even more curious, as if it was very strange how they could know the man outside?

Sissi gritted her teeth secretly, how could she answer this, if she said that she knew her, how could Miss Boudoir know such a person? If it is spread out, Miss Houfu's upbringing will be questioned.

But if you don't know each other, you still come here to see Zhenzhen's jokes.
