Qi Xiangsi's words obviously didn't believe it, but also because their son was dragged into the water and almost had an accident, Mrs. Zhang's waist was also straight, but when she looked at her husband for help, the latter shook his head at her gently, if you want to drive that kid out, it has to be justified, and now that outsiders are there, it is the best opportunity.

Mrs. Zhang San understood what her husband meant, and glanced at Qi Xiangsi: "I'll go and see if Yan'er is awake." ”

Looking at Lu Li, who was going to go with her, Mrs. Zhang's face sank: "What are you going to do." ”

"Zhang Gongzi has been back for so long, presumably the doctor has already gone back, my maid has followed me to understand a little bit of medical science, in case Zhang Gongzi has any discomfort, it is good to find out in time." Qi Xiangsi explained with a smile, "Mrs. Zhang doesn't have to be nervous, I'm just kind." ”

Thinking about the "big event", Mrs. Zhang San glanced at the maid, and then said to Lu Li in a stiff tone: "You come with me." ”

The maid who had been instructed by Mrs. Zhang San parted ways with them after going down the steps, and she had a good plan in her heart, waiting for her to bring someone over, and the maid over there had already notified her son and could prepare as soon as possible.

I didn't know that when I passed through the corner of the corridor, Lu Li behind him suddenly disappeared, because he was walking behind, and when the two maids found out, there was no one around, and Mrs. Zhang San felt bad at the moment.

When she arrived at her son's yard, Lu Li was already expressionless in the house, Zhang Yan was neither lying on the bed nor looking sick, he was sitting on the couch, there were snacks and food on the table that were too late to clean up, and there were two little maids playing fans behind, the maids who came over earlier looked a little embarrassed, and just as she was about to clean up, people came in, and they didn't move, and they didn't move.

In addition to some redness and swelling on his face, Zhang Yan's spirit looked good, and half of the food on the table was swept, where did people with good appetites come from to feel unwell, Lu Li looked at Mrs. Zhang San, and said lightly.

"Don't hurry up and clean up for the young master." In front of other people, Mrs. Zhang couldn't say anything about her son, but she taught the two little maids a lesson, "Who asked you to send food to the young master, the young master is not well yet, how can he get up!" ”

"Mother, don't talk about them, I have to get up by myself, and I'm fine." Zhang Yan opened his mouth to protect the maid, and then looked at Lu Li, he didn't have the time to look at others when he was in Xunshan Academy before, so he didn't recognize her, after looking at it, he got off the couch, put on his shoes and asked Mrs. Zhang San, "Mother, what do you want me to do when I get up, Zhang Jing is back?" ”

"Your second brother is back, just ahead, and your uncle wants to ask you something." Mrs. Zhang San stepped forward to buckle the button for her son, her hands tightened, and her voice became soft, "Your second brother twisted his foot, don't blame him later, they are all his own brothers, he is not sensible, you are the eldest brother, just take more responsibility." ”

"Mother." Zhang Yan frowned and was puzzled, he didn't say that before.

Mrs. Zhang gently patted him on the shoulder, full of smiles: "Can you remember?" ”

Zhang Yan nodded.

......

At this time, in the front yard of Zhang's house, Mrs. Zhang pulled her son to look back and forth, and saw that his face was still injured, and wiped her tears in distress: "What's the matter, go to the academy to participate in the competition, how can you fight with Yan'er, you are brothers." ”

Mrs. Zhang's kind eyebrows and eyes, and her temperament also looked soft and glutinous, she carefully wiped the wound on Zhang Jing's face: "What's wrong?" ”

"Mother." Zhang Jing dodged her outstretched hand, and her tone was full of grievances, "Am I your and Dad's child?" ”

Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, looked up at Qi Xiangsi and them, and was a little emotional: "Of course you are, of course you are our child, you are the Zhang family, you were conceived and born by your mother and me in October, and you are the child of me and your father." ”

Qi Xiangsi looked at Mrs. Zhang lightly, and her movements in that moment were enough to prove how much she attached importance to this child, but if she was really biological, she would not be in such an emotion.

"Why do they all say I'm not?" Zhang Jing clenched his fists, from childhood to adulthood, except for his father and mother, others said that he was not the Zhang family, he picked it up, but he was obviously the second young master of the Zhang family, and he has lived in the Zhang family since he could remember.

If he is not the Zhang family, then who is he.

"Who said you weren't, your surname is Zhang, it's me and your father's child." Mrs. Zhang took his arm and comforted, "You are our only child, and you will inherit the Zhang family's family business in the future, what they say is not credible, you just listen to your mother." ”

Obviously, Zhang Jing is only eight years old, but Mrs. Zhang looks older than Gu's, she emphasized over and over again that Zhang Jing is her own child, and the affirmative attitude in the softness is more insistent than anyone else.

Qi Xiangsi took a step back and bumped into Yan Congyu's body, who took her hand, and at this moment, Mrs. Zhang San came over with her son.

Zhang Yan saw Zhang Jing who had injured his foot, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and then he said hello to everyone, and stood there very well-behaved, waiting for Master Zhang to ask him.

Master Zhang still had a serious face, and his voice was deep: "Yan'er, Jing'er fought with you, is it because you said that he is not the Zhang family, and you want him to get out of the Zhang family." ”

"No, uncle." Zhang Yan looked back at Zhang Jing in some surprise, innocent and incredible, "How could I say such a thing, he is my younger brother." ”

Zhang Jing's eyes tightened, and he was about to step forward to theorize, Qi Xiangsi's hand pressed on his shoulder again, he raised his head to look at her, Qi Xiangsi shook his head lightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry." ”

For no reason, Zhang Jing felt that the look made him feel at ease, he lowered his head, but Mrs. Zhang on the side looked at Qi Xiangsi with a slight look in her eyes, and she didn't know what to think.

"Then why did Jing'er fight with you in the competition?"

"Uncle, I don't know, I just let him compete, we're on the same team, we can't lose." Zhang Yan was even more innocent, "How did I know that he would be angry, so he suddenly hit me, and gave up the game and ran out alone, so that everyone lost the competition directly." ”

Master Zhang glanced at his son and asked, "Then why are you fighting in the stream?" ”

"I also want to ask the second brother, I went to him because I was worried about him, I wanted to persuade him when I saw him in the water, who knew ...... him" Zhang Yan hesitated, "He will pull me into the water, press my head into the water, and almost drown me." ”

Several adults had different expressions, and Second Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth exaggeratedly, as if it was the first time she heard about it, Zhang Yan paused and then whispered: "Uncle, don't blame your brother, he shouldn't have done it on purpose." ”

"Big brother, you are the head of the family, and you naturally have the final say on the affairs of the family, and everything else over the years is just that, but this child is getting more and more excessive, it's really unbearable." Mrs. Zhang's tears came quickly, pinching the handkerchief and bowing her head to cover it, "He is targeting Yan'er everywhere, just because Yan'er is the eldest brother, he is only the second young master of the Zhang family, so he regards Yan'er as a thorn in his side, and he will fight against his brother in such an important competition as Xunshan Academy, let alone ...... on weekdays."

"Mother, my younger brother is the child of my uncle, and everything in the Zhang family is originally his." Zhang Yan also turned around to appease Mrs. Zhang San, and smiled very understandingly, "I'm my brother, so I should let him order." ”

At the end, he turned around and comforted Zhang Jing: "Second brother, I'm fine, don't worry, I'm not angry with you." ”

The hand that fell on Zhang Jing's shoulder was clenched hard, he felt pain, but the resentment in his heart disappeared, he didn't fight angrily as Mrs. Zhang San thought, just stood there with his head down and silent.

This reaction was quite surprising to them, he usually knelt in front of the Buddha Hall and said that he was right, how could he be as quiet as he is now.

The courtyard was quiet for a while, and Master Zhang spoke: "Jing'er, what your eldest brother said is true. ”

Zhang Jing shook his head: "That's not right. ”

"And what did he say?"

"During the competition, he said that even if he won today, his father and mother would not be happy, because I was not born to you, and I couldn't please my father by doing anything, I was just a wild child from an unknown source."

This time it was Zhang Yan's turn to refute: "Second brother, how can you say that, when did I say something like that!" ”

Zhang Jing ignored him, and said: "When I was in the stream, he kept kicking the stones by the stream to hit me, and said that I should pack up my baggage and get out of Zhang's house as soon as possible, I was just a child who picked up and had nothing to do with the Zhang family, and said that I was embarrassed, and I ......."

"Master Zhang, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, why don't you listen to what I, an outsider who happened to meet this incident, saw." Qi Xiangsi naturally took Zhang Jing's words and looked at them with a smile, "I didn't know them before, but today I was invited to watch the competition of Xunshan Academy, and I was also present when I tried to fight." ”

The Zhang family has been in the tribute tea business for so many years, and most of them are run by Master Zhang, and they have dealt with the official family a lot, so how can they not see the status of these people.

dared to break into their house like this, was so strong to be the master of his son, and was invited to Xunshan Academy to watch the competition, this identity was only higher than he thought.

If it's not a business, it's an official, and if it's an official, you can't afford to offend.

For whatever reason, he couldn't kick people out, so he softened his expression: "Girl, please speak." ”

"It was noisy during the competition, and I don't know why they were fighting, but I heard it clearly by the stream." Qi Xiangsi looked at Zhang Yan very kindly, "This son may be unsteady with his feet, and he keeps kicking stones into the water when he is by the stream, and I don't know what grudges between brothers can make him say such cruel things, saying that others are not biological, and also saying that let him get out of Zhang's house, I think he will do it when he competes, and most of them are because of this." ”

Zhang Yan's face changed, and he was about to refute when he opened his mouth, but Qi Xiangsi didn't give him a chance to speak, but immediately said: "But this is not enough to surprise me, what surprises me is that after falling into the water, I have to falsely say that he is going to kill someone, just ask an eight-year-old child, how can he press his brother who is a few years older into the water, what makes me even more surprised is that this lady slapped him without saying a word after rushing over, if I didn't stop me, I'm afraid you won't recognize him at this time." ”

Mrs. Zhang looked at Mrs. Zhang San, who retorted with a red face: "Nonsense, how could I beat him." ”

"This is also the reason why I insist on sending this child back, even an outsider can see the grievances he suffered at home, the elder brother can be so presumptuous and unabashedly say that the younger brother must also be trained by the parents at home, if we don't come today, with your battle, I'm afraid that he will have to kneel and die in the Buddha hall to count."

There was some coldness in Qi Xiangsi's tone of words, fighting in the academy, facing the result of being expelled, and when he returned home and faced so many accusations, he couldn't get over the beating first, and he tried to kill his brother.

Even if he is not kicked out of the Zhang family this time, according to the intentions of those elders, it will be sooner or later.

Master Zhang's expression was unclear, but Mrs. Zhang's eyes were red: "How could Jing'er do that kind of thing, master, don't you know his temper, he doesn't make a sound when he is wronged, you still let him go to the Buddha Hall to reflect, what's wrong with him?" ”

"Sister-in-law, you can believe it just by her words, they are outsiders." Master Zhang San snorted coldly, "What is true and what is false is what you are talking about, Jing'er beating people is true, stirring up the competition and making trouble, the academy is not easy to explain, how much money did the family spend to send them in, how can they be so ignorant, no matter how Yan'er is also an elder brother." ”

Master Zhang didn't say anything, he knew the meaning of these guests very clearly, and outsiders couldn't see how much he had been wronged.

"Jing'er wouldn't do anything like that." Mrs. Zhang always believed that her son would not do those things, and Mrs. Zhang San was annoyed and angry, "Sister-in-law, so many people saw Jing'er throwing Yan'er to the ground, is this still fake, I was also present at the time." ”

Second Mrs. Zhang helped to speak, although she didn't see it, but there was a precedent for this, and there was a dispute just a few days ago: "Sister-in-law, I think Jing'er's temper is wrong, she will beat people without saying a word, Yan'er is still his brother, how the brothers get along in the future, I think it will be difficult for the family to settle down." ”

"What else is there to say, big brother, if there is no explanation for this matter today, will this family be broken up in the future?"

The eldest man of the Zhang family is dignified, but he is still deceived under the impartiality, believing more evidence from his relatives than believing his son.

Mrs. Zhang really feels sorry for her son, but she is soft and glutinous and often can't protect her.

As for the second master and the third master of the Zhang family, they are.

Qi Xiangsi swept lightly from the faces of these people, the eldest lady of the Zhang family has been married for many years and has not come out, and suddenly a son fell from the sky, wouldn't he give the Zhang family's family property to others? Naturally, it is unwilling.

"Speaking of which, there were two students who followed Zhang Gongzi to the stream at that time." Qi Xiangsi looked at Zhang Yan, "It should be Zhang Gongzi's classmate and friend, and he won't shield others in turn, so it's better to listen to what they have to say." ”

......

The two students invited completely disrupted Zhang Yan's position, and he didn't even react to how they were invited, and after this old man Zhang asked, they actually explained everything he said after the competition was destroyed, as well as what he said on the shore.

Those two students have always been good friends with Zhang Yan, and Mrs. Zhang San also knows the wives of the two families, and the relationship is also good.

In other words, what people tell is the truth.

Zhang Yan couldn't restrain himself, and rushed up to ask these two friends, but where could he still get his wish at this time, Master Zhang San noticed it quickly, and hurriedly grabbed his son, and Mrs. Zhang San, who was on the side, fainted directly with a red face.

Immediately afterward, everyone gathered around to take her back to the courtyard.

"Master Zhang, if you don't dislike it, let me take a look for Madame, there are so many of you around, be careful that she can't breathe and suffocate to death." How could Qi Xiangsi let them go away so easily.

Hearing that it would suffocate to death, people's instinctive reaction was to retreat, Qi Xiangsi walked over and asked Master Zhang San to hold Mrs. Zhang San, took the needle bag from Lu Li's hand after passing the pulse, and quickly pricked it in her hand, and then pressed her middle and pinched it hard.

"Ahh Mrs. Zhang San was directly woken up by the pain, the pain was almost cold sweat, Qi Xiangsi pulled out the needle and looked at her with a smile, "Wake up." ”

Mrs. Zhang San glanced at her husband, the husband and wife made eye contact that only both parties could understand, she could bear it when the needle was pricked just now, but then she really couldn't help it, it hurt too much!

Qi Xiangsi got up and said in a cheerful tone: "Master Zhang, outsiders have no right to interfere with how you teach your children, and they are not qualified to ask you to rectify the atmosphere at home, but I would like to advise you, a villain can defeat a gentleman in ten words, everything has a reason, Master Zhang, you should know in your heart that your son has been wronged, and there is more than one time, if the parents do not administer justice for him, then who can protect him in the future?" ”

Mrs. Zhang wanted to faint again, but it was too fake, the husband and wife looked at each other, and looked towards the second master of the Zhang family, who knew that they were dodging and wanted to protect themselves, at this time the face of the eldest master Zhang was already ugly.

Qi Xiangsi knew it was time for them to go back.

If something similar happens again today, she won't be so wronged, as for how to punish her in the end, she is an outsider, and it is really inconvenient to be on the spot.

Under Mrs. Zhang's worried eyes, Qi Xiangsi patted Zhang Jing's shoulder and said in a voice that the two of them could hear: "You are not wrong in this matter, but he is not much wrong." ”

Zhang Jing turned his head to look at her, Qi Xiangsi squinted at him, and the hand that he wanted to withdraw still couldn't hold back, and finally gently stroked his forehead, and his eyes fell on his face: "I'll go first." ”

"Sister, what's your name?" Zhang Jing called out to her, he also has a sister, but the two sisters of the Zhang family are not kind to him, he has experienced such maintenance for the first time, especially the way she protects herself behind her, she is extremely relieved.

"Me." Qi Xiangsi suppressed her sour nose, the surprise from the academy to here was still spreading, and she noticed the sight that paid attention to her from time to time, Qi Xiangsi raised her hand and waved, "Pay attention to rest, I'll tell you next time." ”

After speaking, Qi Xiangsi left Zhang's house without looking back.

......

It was a very long road, and I didn't know where it was, and the surroundings were strange and quiet.

Qi Xiangsi's pace was fast, but she knew that there was always someone behind her.

I don't know how long I walked, my footsteps gradually slowed down, Qi Xiangsi raised his hand and gently wiped the corners of his eyes, and when he walked behind him, he asked softly, "How long have you been checking?" ”

"For a few months, the household registration of Yongzhou Yamen, in order to avoid anyone looking for it, they used to pass through the Yamen, moved to Zhuzhou after leaving Yongzhou, and then went to Tongzhou to stay for a while, and settled in Kyoto a few years ago, without changing their names and surnames, they still did tribute tea trading."

Qi Xiangsi stopped, and his voice trembling slightly with his back to him: "Today's event was arranged by you." ”

"Originally, I wanted to wait until I finished watching the competition and then find a chance for you to meet." Who knew that he had stumbled all the way to Zhang's house.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Yan Congyu frowned slightly: "I'll ...... next time"

Before the words fell, Qi Xiangsi turned around and hugged him.

Crying came. 166 Reading Network
