Chapter Twenty-Three: Lively
After a short rest on Liu Xian's Zhuangzi, the ladies entered the house like a fish. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The keeper of the door on the Zhuangzi was a lame old man, and the rest were servant women in their forties and fifties. They have already prepared their meals and are waiting for today's guests.
I don't know if it's to avoid suspicion or what, Liu Xian and Zhao Jiashan didn't appear. Liu Xian just asked the servants and maids to come over and spread the word.
Qi Yang didn't feel strange, but felt very comfortable.
There are many women, and no matter how big and bright the room is, it is full of chattering and lively talk. Zhang Lingxi frowned lightly and looked out the window absentmindedly.
Qi Yang slammed Zhang Lingxi's shoulder and asked puzzledly, "Sister Xi'er, what's wrong with you, it's as if something is wrong with you in the carriage just now." What's there to see out there? ”
Zhang Lingxi was stunned for a moment and said: "It's nothing, I remember the situation when my father took me to Zhuangzi to play and took me to recognize those little grass and flowers." I'm always cranky, don't mind. In fact, she remembered that in her previous life, when she was not married to Zhao Jiashan, he took her in the middle of the road to avoid trouble, and when she passed by such a crop field, perhaps in order to relieve her nervousness, Zhao Jiashan actually took her to identify those flowers and plants.
They are all elves that grow in the fields, no matter how big or small, they are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off them. Zhang Lingxi suddenly felt that people are beautiful and ugly, but flowers and plants are not. Flowers and plants are beautiful and kind.
Qi Yang suddenly realized, and looked at Zhang Lingxi with sympathetic eyes with Qi Ru. It turns out that Sister Xi is homesick.
The two tacitly stopped talking, for fear of disturbing Zhang Lingxi.
Zhang Lingxi looked at it for a while, and suddenly settled down. When she first saw Zhao Jiashan, she was both surprised and scared. is even wondering if he and Liu Xian know each other and how they met. Liu Xian said that he wanted to come over to do something, but it was related to Zhao Jiashan.
Now she suddenly calmed down. Liu Xian knows Zhao Jiashan, which is not unusual. Of course, the nurse once took Liu Xian to Zhao's house to avoid trouble, if the nurse was still there, she should have told Liu Xian and asked him to repay the kindness of the year.
Zhao Jiashan is the head of the Zhao family, and Liu Xian will naturally befriend him.
Zhang Lingxi's heart pounded, and he couldn't imagine that fate would arrange it like this. When she took in the nurse and Liu Xian back then, she didn't want to have such a fate with Liu Xian in the future.
By the time it was time for lunch, everyone had already discussed it. The environment in Zhuangzi is better than that of Qingchuan Temple, and most people want to live in Zhuangzi.
I set a time to go up the mountain in the afternoon, first go to Qingchuan to pay a respect, and then walk around. Waiting for tomorrow, there is a temple fair near Qingchuan Temple, and everyone will go shopping together.
Qi Yang and Qi Ru didn't even mean to stay in Zhuangzi.
Qi Ru said: "I think this is no different from my Zhuangzi who married him." However, I have never lived in Qingchuan Temple, and I want to live for a day or two. ”
Qi Yang also echoed.
Zhang Lingxi looked at Qi Yang and Qi Ru, and suddenly understood. The two of them were afraid that she would live alone in Qingchuanguan and be lonely, so they wanted to accompany her. In order to take care of her emotions, she didn't pick it out.
Zhang Lingxi was grateful.
"Brother Xian doesn't know where it is, I want to go up the mountain earlier, why don't we find Yiyi and ask?" Zhang Lingxi proposed.
Qi Yang and Qi Ru were afraid that Zhang Lingxi would see the crops touching the scene, so they nodded violently.
"You wait here, I'll ask Mingyan to ask." Qi Yang pressed Zhang Lingxi, who was about to get up, to sit down again, and gave Ming Yan a look, and Ming Yan immediately went to find Yi Yi.
"Don't wander around, lest you lose it again in a moment."
Zhang Lingxi smiled, "I'm not a child anymore, how can I get lost as easily as you say." Don't hold me down, I'm going to the official room. ”
Qi Yang let go of his hand in a daze, and still said uneasily: "You bring two maids with you, so as not to find them back." ”
"Got it." Zhang Lingxi.
Looking at Peihuan and Fusang on the left and right, honestly following behind Zhang Lingxi, Qi Yang dispelled the idea of being a companion and chatted with Qi Ru.
As soon as the servant woman in the courtyard saw Zhang Lingxi coming out, she immediately surrounded four or five people and asked Zhang Lingxi if she had any orders.
made Zhang Lingxi extremely embarrassed.
"You can find a random place to rest for a while, and I'll walk by myself, and I'll come back to you in a quarter of an hour." Zhang Lingxi took Peihuan and Fusang around the courtyard for a small half circle, and found a hidden place to order.
Fusang was still a newcomer compared to Peihuan, and he didn't dare to ask what Zhang Lingxi was going to do, so he looked at Peihuan with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Peihuan asked, "Where are you going, Miss, is there any danger, a quarter of an hour is enough?" ”
Zhang Lingxi said: "I don't know where to go, I just suddenly want to walk by myself." You don't have to worry about me, I'm measured. It's just that after you go back, you are not allowed to mention to the second lady that I am walking by myself. ”
Peihuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't the slave maid follow the young lady from afar." You are not familiar with life here, and if something really happens, I am afraid that there is no way to deal with it. ”
Fusang secretly stuck out his tongue, and Miss She has a good temperament, and Peihuan is a solid eye. If it's someone else, where can there be so much nonsense.
Zhang Lingxi felt that what Peihuan said made sense, so he nodded.
Peihuan really followed from a distance, and when Zhang Lingxi took about fifty steps, she pulled Fusang and slowly followed.
Sister Peihuan has a really big heart, and she really dares to be separated from the young lady at such a distance. Fuso thought to himself. Miss is also a big heart.
Zhang Lingxi walked out blankly, and involuntarily looked at the place where the carriage had stopped just now. Zhao Jiashan was standing on the ridge over there talking to Liu Xian, and before she could see it clearly, she was so frightened that she retracted her head.
It's really cowardly, and it didn't grow. I was in the car, Zhao Jiashan and they would never see it. Why did she have a weak heart first?
Zhang Lingxi raised his steps and walked towards the ridge over there.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no one there, she wouldn't have been so bold.
Zhao Jiashan and Liu Xian went to a grass hut to rest, not far from the field.
"The matter of the sister-in-law, please leave it to Liu Gongzi." Zhao Jiashan politely bowed his hand.
It turned out that he came here for Zhao Jiarou's affairs.
Mrs. Ji had already died, so that Zhao Jiashan didn't have to go to great lengths to find Zhao Jiarou. said that since she was out of this door, life or death was not related to the Zhao family.
It's not that the family has come to make trouble, the old lady unwillingly returned the dowry, and cursed Zhao Jiarou thousands of times in her heart. It's better to die and feed the wild dogs than to chill her here.
Zhao Jiashan was angry when his mother said angry words, and he refused to give up like this.
He used all the connections he could use, begged a lot of people, and owed a lot of favors, just to get Zhao Jiarou back.
Just like Min Niang said, if Jiarou is found and Jiarou still doesn't change her mind, he, who is an elder brother, will have to agree to the marriage of Zhang Lingzhe and Jiarou, so as not to force the two to do anything stupid.
Zhao Jiashan himself felt that with Min Niang by his side to give him ideas, he had changed a lot. He didn't know what tenderness was before, but he was slowly assimilated by Min Niang. To be able to marry Min Niang, who can be as kind as Xu's, he is really fortunate in his third life.
Although Xu stayed at home during his lifetime, he did a lot of good deeds. It's a pity that she died of illness at a young age, and those good retributions should be on him and Ze'er. Sometimes Zhao Jiashan is thinking, this is the blessing that the Xu family brought to him and Ze'er.
For example, this time, he scratched his ears and cheeks for Jiarou's affairs, and he had no clue. This Liu Gongzi came to the door, and in order to thank the Xu family for taking him in that year, he wanted to help Zhao Jiashan find someone.
Liu Xian's purpose for coming here is certainly not so simple. He's just returning the favor.
Before leaving Liu's house, the nurse specially told him that he was taken in by the Xu family back then, saved his life, and let him have a chance in the future, and he would definitely repay the Xu family. It's a pity that when he found the residence of the Xu family, others told him that the Xu family had died a long time ago, and the Zhao family sold the ancestral house and settled in Baoding Mansion.
Liu Xian wanted to get this matter done before leaving, so he personally went to Baoding Mansion. Who knows if it's a coincidence, the Zhao family is actually Zhao Hanlin's mansion.
Liu Xian heard about Zhao Jiarou from Qi Yang, and learned that the Zhao family had been looking for her, so he took the initiative to ask Ying and planned to help. It can be regarded as repaying the Xu family.
It's a pity that I couldn't see Xu. However, Liu Xian thought that Xu, who has a bodhisattva's heart, is like a bodhisattva no matter what he looked like before his death.
Liu Xian chatted with Zhao Jiashan a few more words, and Zhao Jiashan got up and said goodbye.
Before leaving, Zhao Jiashan glanced at the field suspiciously.
Liu Xian followed Zhao Jiashan's gaze, and there seemed to be a little girl wearing a begonia red horse skirt standing on the ridge, standing dumbfounded.
Is it Sister Xi?
Liu Xian remembered that Sister Xi seemed to be wearing a begonia red skirt today.
He hesitated, staring at the red dot between the ridges, as if he was afraid that she would disappear. But his legs were so heavy that he couldn't lift them.
I came here today to deal with this matter.
All along, he took it to heart but refused to admit it.
The shallow smile and dancing posture appeared in his mind, like Sister Xi'er, and she was a head taller than her. The woman's gaze swirled like waves, as if she were smiling at him.
Liu Xian clenched his fists and shook his head, shaking the conjecture just now out of his mind.
If you look closely, the red in the ridges has disappeared.
Liu Xian sighed, and his tense nerves relaxed.
Zhang Lingxi picked up her skirt and ran back to the yard in one go.
"Oops, where have you been, running this sweat." Qi Ru said in surprise.
"Sister Xi, look, I said you would get lost, you still have a hard mouth, you have been walking for so long." Qi Yang greeted him.
Zhang Lingxi gasped, as if someone was chasing her just now.
Seeing Qi Yang looking at her suspiciously, Zhang Lingxi sighed and said, "You can't save me some face, what to do." ”
Qi Yang smiled, knocked his head embarrassedly, and said, "It's me who is wrong this time." Next time, if Sister Xi does something embarrassing, I promise not to say it. ”
Peihuan and Fusang trotted all the way and finally followed.
"You two maids are not clever enough, why did you lead Sister Xi down the wrong path?" Qi Yang reproached.
Peihuan and Fusang remembered Zhang Lingxi's words, lowered their heads, and listened to Qi Yang in tacit understanding.
Zhang Lingxi hurriedly said: "Don't blame them, I was greedy for fun, and I suddenly wanted to go for a walk, but I almost got lost." ”
Peihuan and Fuso gasped for breath. The young lady ran so fast, as if she was hiding from someone.
Zhang Lingxi is just hiding from people.
Zhao Jiashan looked at this side, and she felt bad. Taking advantage of the fact that Zhao Jiashan had not come over, she ran back with her skirt all the way.
Leaving Zhao Jiashan giggling in place.
This little girl, no matter how she sees him back, she has to avoid him.
He just wanted to ask about Jiarou.
Feelings, this little girl treats him as a flood beast.
Although Zhao Jiashan was a little depressed, he inexplicably wanted such a lovely daughter.
If he had another daughter with the Xu family, he would be so old now.
Thinking like this, I feel inexplicably sad.
Xu has been gone for so long, and he has Min Niang by his side to take care of him, and he rarely thinks of Xu anymore. Why is my chest so suffocated today, and I miss the old people so much.
Qingchuan has more guards.
When the ladies went up the mountain, they found that the mountain people were all closed.
Qingchuan view incense is vigorous, and it is rare to have such a deserted time.
"It's strange, obviously so many people are guarding Qingchuan Temple, how do I feel that this place is so cold and lonely as if there is no one." Qi Yang complained as he walked.
Zhang Lingxi looked at the guards around him, and knew in his heart that this was probably someone brought by his cousin Zhong Zi.
The Qi family lives in the temple, and Zhong Zi should go and talk to the Qi family.
Zhang Lingxi followed Qi Yang and the others for a while, and said, "You walk slowly, I'll go up and have a look first." ”
She was familiar with this place and proposed to go up and have a look first, but Qi Yang and the others were not surprised.
"Well, you go and ask the Lord, what's wrong, there are so many guards all of a sudden." Qi Yang whispered, "It looks like a guard of some palace." ”
The eyes are really sharp.
Zhang Lingxi nodded and said, "I think so." Just walk slowly. After waiting for half an hour, we will meet in the main hall. ”
After Zhang Lingxi finished saying this, he walked up in three steps and two steps, and there was no one after a while.
Fusang and Peihuan remained outside the temple as usual.
Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Zhang Lingxi buckled the small door on the left side of the hall three times, and after waiting for a while, the door creaked open.
A small head peeked out of the door, glanced at Zhang Lingxi, and nodded at her.
Zhang Lingxi entered with a familiar car, walked straight along the left-hand side, turned left, and opened the door of the second wing.
"Mother." Zhang Lingxi saw the Qi family at first sight.
She was wearing a Taoist robe, and she looked refreshing and in good spirits. A woman about the same height as Qi stood beside Qi, very similar to Qi.
"Cousin." Zhang Lingxi shouted.
The woman smiled and nodded. (To be continued.) )
