Chapter Seventy-Five: Missing
Zhang Lingxi's leg was injured, he was unable to walk, and he was really bored to sit, so he looked at Zhong Zi pitifully. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhongzi made an appointment with Fang Xiu to go out, and she couldn't accompany Zhang Lingxi, so she took out a weapon book from the bottom of the box and stuffed it into her hand.
"Here, when I'm bored, I like to watch this to relieve boredom. Hello Sheng stayed in the house, and if there was anything, I told them to do so. I'll go out for a while and I'll be back in a moment. ”
"Cousin, I want to go out too." Zhang Lingxi's expression was extremely aggrieved.
Zhong Zi patted her head and said, "You stay in the house peacefully, and when you are well, I will take you down to the river to fish." ”
"I'm not going." Zhang Lingxi looked at the layers of clothes on his body due to the heavy cold, and then thought about the temperature at which the river was now cold as if he had fallen into an ice vault, and shook his head decisively.
So Zhong Zi smiled with satisfaction: "Then I'll go out first." ”
Zhang Lingxi was really bored, flipped a few pages with the weapon spectrum, only felt that his eyelids were fighting, and he didn't remember why he tilted his head and fell asleep.
Zang Xia came in to look at it a few times, and when he saw that Zhang Lingxi was sleeping soundly, he covered her with a quilt, closed the door, and went to the door to guard.
After this, Qi Yang killed violently.
Yesterday, she waited for Sister Xi at home for a day, and Sister Xi didn't come back. The family was not in a hurry, as if Sister Xi told the old lady that she would not come back, but Qi Yang went to ask, and none of the elders could tell where Sister Xi had gone. Today, she finally let Ming Yan poke out some clues from the side, and guessed that Zhang Lingxi hid in Qingchuan Guan without saying a word.
It can't be resting in Zhang Lingzhe's house, she inquired yesterday, Sister Xi had an awkward quarrel with the people over there, or something, and drove away. Otherwise, Qi Yang would not have been scared all night. The next day, she looked for her like crazy again.
I have to be careful not to let the elders in the family find out, lest Sister Xi hide something, and she accidentally reveals it, causing trouble to Sister Xi out of thin air.
Only the old lady knew about Zhong Zi's return. The maids in the yard of her old man's house were all tight-mouthed, how could Ming Yan dare to go to the old lady's yard to be presumptuous, so she had to ask the gatekeeper and the little maids who had seen the messenger yesterday, and roughly guessed that it was from outside the city. I went out again and inquired all the way, and finally asked where I got out of the city.
Since I went out of the city, it was in the direction of Qingchuan Temple, and I either went to Qingchuan Temple, or I was on the Zhuangzi nearby.
Therefore, after Qi Yang went to ask Xiao Fang's for instructions, he took Ming Yan and the others to drive away. Qi Yang searched all the way, Qingchuan couldn't see anyone, and went to Zhang Lingxi's small grange to ask, but he was still not there. She muttered in her heart, where did this Sister Xi go.
"It's really strange, Sister Xi'er is not familiar with other places, where will she go?" It was cold outside, and Qi Yang sighed while rubbing his hands.
Ming Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "Miss, there is another place that Miss Biao often visits!" ”
"Where is Brother Xian?" Qi Yang was a little surprised.
Mingyan nodded, that's what she said.
Whether it's like this or not, you have to come and see it. Fortunately, it was not far away, Qi Yang said: "Then let's go over and have a look, even if she is not there, let's go there and rest for a while." ”
Strangely, the door was closed, Ming Yan stepped forward and pushed, and said, "Miss, there is a lock inside." ”
"Knock it open. In broad daylight, what kind of door is closed? ”
Ming Yan knocked on the door and shouted, "Uncle Bian, open the door." ”
After a while, an old man with not very sharp legs came to open the door.
"Miss Mingyan, are you just going to Qingchuan Temple?" Although the old man's actions were not good, his eyes were good.
"Well, let's come and rest." Ming Yan secretly glanced inside and asked, "Why is the door closed today, is Young Master Xian here?" ”
The old man paused for a moment, and said in an unnatural tone: "The young master didn't come, he instructed us not to always open the door, lest some passers-by always come in to ask for tea." ”
Qi Yang walked over and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, he can't take this sip of tea, who is so stingy to learn from him." I don't know if we still have tea, take a sip to show that my brother won't feel distressed, right? ”
"How come, Miss, come here, we don't dare to slack off." The old man hurriedly invited Qi Yang and them inside.
Qi Yang looked as he walked and asked, "Except for me today, who is there no one here?" ”
"If you go back to Miss, no one will come here today."
Qi Yang looked at the deep and shallow footprints in the yard, a little unconvinced.
If the gate of Zhuangzi has been closed all the time, and no tea is given to those passers-by, how can there be more footprints in the courtyard.
It's a pity that there are deep and shallow, and I can't see whether there are any women's footprints.
"And what about yesterday?" Qi Yang turned his head sharply and asked as he stared into the old man's eyes.
The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "Yesterday... Someone came yesterday. ”
Qi Yang glared and asked, "Where is she, take me over." ”
The old man didn't dare to say anything else, so he could only take Qi Yang over.
Zang Xia happened to be sitting at the door and dozing off, and without paying attention to Qi Yang, she broke into the house in a daze.
Zhang Lingxi was sleeping soundly, and was shouted by Qi Yang.
Her subordinates didn't make much effort, Zhang Lingxi didn't feel pain at all, but opened her eyes in a daze.
"Sister Yang, why are you here!" Zhang Lingxi raised his eyes and saw Qi Yang, and unexpectedly wanted to sit up and get off the ground, but he was unstable and fell back on the bed.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and you haven't even forgotten how to walk?" Qi Yang sneered.
Zhang Lingxi remembered that he had an injury on his leg, and immediately covered it with a quilt, and then asked, "How do you know that my grandmother told you that I am here?" ”
Qi Yang glanced at her: "You can borrow ten guts from me, and it is better to kill me directly if you go and ask your grandmother." I can't just think you're here. ”
"Huh? Why haven't I seen it for a day, my sister Yang is so smart! Zhang Lingxi smiled and grabbed Qi Yang's arm and asked her to sit down on the edge of the bed.
"You don't bury me, as if I go out all day without my brain." Qi Yang glared at him and asked dissatisfiedly, "You come here to play, and you don't call me, don't you treat me as a good sister?" "It's more aggrieved than anyone else.
"No, I'm in a bad mood, so I'm out for a walk."
"When you were in a bad mood, you came to Brother Xian's Zhuangzi? Hum. Qi Yang complained, and was afraid of hurting Sister Xi'er's heart, so he hurriedly said, "Why are you in a bad mood, did you encounter something difficult to solve with your fifth brother?" You can tell me, even if I can't give you an idea, at least you say it, and your heart won't be depressed. ”
"Sister Yang, you treat me so well."
"Don't give me these sour things, know that I treat you well, and you will hide everything from me. Hurry up and tell me honestly, who was bullied, I'll avenge you! Qi Yang was indignant.
Zhang Lingxi looked stunned and said, "Aunt Fan has come to the capital." ”
Qi Yang immediately jumped up, even more exaggerated than Zhang Lingxi's expression: "What? Aunt Fan came to the capital? How did she get here! ”
"My father was soft-hearted and let her come."
Qi Yang slapped his hands angrily, and stammered when he spoke: "He... He... How could he be such a confused person? ”
"If you were born in my family, I don't know how many things like this will be seen." Zhang Lingxi said helplessly. Sure enough, I told Qi Yang that I was in a better mood.
"Bastard!" Qi Yang scolded, and when she saw Zhang Lingxi looking over, she hurriedly explained: "I'm not scolding your father, I'm just angry." ”
"You're right, I think so in my heart." Zhang Lingxi was driven by Qi Yang's emotions, and said indignantly.
Qi Yang was so frightened that he covered Zhang Lingxi's mouth: "Bah, bah! God, don't blame! If you say such a big rebellion, you dare to say it. Even if others don't listen, God is listening overhead. Beware of a thunderbolt that will cut you..."
Before Qi Yang finished speaking, he heard a thunderbolt on a sunny day above his head.
"Ahh Yes! ”
She screamed twice in fright, and at the same time quickly jumped onto the bed and hugged Zhang Lingxi tightly.
Zhang Lingxi also screamed.
Qi Yang protected Zhang Lingxi with his whole person, and muttered to himself: "God, if you want to split me, just split me." ”
Zhang Lingxi was moved and hurt again, and tears came out.
After the thunder, she pushed Qi Yang away with all her strength and called out Zangxia's name.
Qi Yang scratched his head, not knowing why.
Could it be that Sister Xi'er's maid has changed her name, why is it called Zangxia?
When I came in, I didn't pay attention to who the maid was napping at the door.
Zang Xia immediately came in: "Miss Nine, what do you command?" ”
Qi Yang looked at Zang Xia curiously and asked Zhang Lingxi, "Is this the person on the Zhuangzi, or your maid?" ”
"Not my maid." Zhang Lingxi told half a lie without hesitation for the sake of Zhong Zi. The so-called half-lie is that although she said that she was not her maid, she did not reveal Zang Xia's true identity, so that Qi Yang followed her words and mistakenly thought that Zang Xia was a person from Zhuangzi.
Zang Xia understood and didn't say much.
"Oh, it's rare to have such a decent person in Zhuangzi." Qi Yang didn't have the slightest suspicion. "By the way, what did you suddenly call her in?"
As soon as Qi Yang reminded him, Zhang Lingxi remembered the sharp pain in his leg, and said with a grin: "Zangxia, quickly bring the medicine, the wound on my leg seems to be oozing blood." ”
Zang Xia hurried away.
"Wounds? Where did the wound come from? You were beaten? Who did it, Fan Yunzhi? Qi Yang rolled up his sleeves and asked. She has always been loud, and it is understandable that she did not notice that Zhang Lingxi was injured. Zhang Lingxi didn't speak, she was worried and regretful: "It's all my fault for being reckless, if I hadn't jumped on your bed just now, I wouldn't have pressed your wounds." ”
"Not what you think. I didn't get beaten. ”
"I didn't get beaten, so why did I get hurt? You didn't dare go home because you were injured, didn't you? I also misunderstood you, wronged you for being playful..."The more Qi Yang spoke, the more remorseful he became.
Zhang Lingxi didn't want Qi Yang to worry too much, so he hid the matter of the carriage being manipulated, and only said that the carriage accidentally overturned and crushed his leg.
"The carriage overturned? Which driver drove the car? Qi Yang thought that it was the driver's fault, and he had an expression that he was going to go and debone the coachman's cramps.
Zhang Lingxi hurriedly stopped and said, "This is not the driver's business, besides, he is also seriously injured now." If you really want to avenge me, think about how to help me send Aunt Fan back to Baoding. ”
This is really a problem, Qi Yang was silent, sat down and helped Zhang Lingxi figure out a way together.
"It's best not to alarm the family, if my grandmother knows that Aunt Fan has come to the capital, I'm afraid she won't be able to go back alive."
"Hmph, you still want to spare her life?"
"She's just not in a thousand ways, and I can't just take her life. You don't know how difficult it is to live, I just want to keep her away from the capital, thinking that I can't see it out of sight and don't worry about it. ”
"It's like you've died once. Hey, your temperament is true, according to you, when you get married, you have to let your mother-in-law rub you to death. Qi Yang said angrily: "When you killed your mother directly in front of her spirit, there were not so many rights and wrongs. How can you do it without cutting the grass and removing the roots! ”
"Is it true that all mothers-in-law in the world are not good to get along with?" Zhang Lingxi said: "I don't think I'm in the face, if others bully me, I will fight back." ”
"Hey, you're just going to shoot me back. If you think about Zhao Jiashan's mother's attitude towards you, do you still think she is good-looking? When she looks at you, she wants to peel off your skin. Qi Yang said disdainfully,
"She hates me because the Zhang family and the Zhao family are not on good terms, and it's not because I'm not good, what am I afraid of. Besides, Jiashan won't let me suffer a little grievance in front of his mother. ”
Qi Yang glanced at her and asked, "You haven't married yet, how do you know?" ”
"When I look at Min Niang, I naturally know how Zhao Jiashan treats people." Zhang Lingxi stroked the hair around his ears and replied.
Fortunately, Qi Yang didn't plan to dwell on this issue, she just smiled evilly, rubbed her hands and asked, "Sister Xi, I know that there is a smart person who will definitely help you come up with a way, or I'll call him over for you?" ”
"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Lingxi's heart immediately hung in the air.
After Zhang Lingxi finished speaking, Qi Yang perfunctorily avoided Zhang Lingxi's eyes and said, "You wait here, you'll know in a while." ”
Without waiting for Zhang Lingxi to react, Qi Yang rushed out in a rage, and even Mingyan didn't catch up with her.
After a while, Ming Yan came in slowly.
"Didn't catch up?"
"Well, Miss is almost catching up with my young master when she runs." Ming Yan said with a bitter face.
Zhang Lingxi smiled lightly and said, "Then you sit here and rest for a while, and wait for her." ”
Speaking of Qi Luming, he has been locked up by the fourth master for several days, and he has not been released yet.
He inexplicably stole Miss Yuan's clothes and hung them on the blessing tree of Qingchuan Temple, but he was seen and secretly told the fourth master.
The fourth old man was furious, he couldn't get out of bed and didn't say anything, and he was also locked up in confinement, and he couldn't step out of the house for half a step, eating, drinking, and Lazar were all in the house.
I heard that Qi Luming's master was guarding him to the death, and not a single fly in the house could not fly, so he had no way to escape.
He is not here, Zhang Lingxi is a lot cleaner, the last time he caused trouble in Qingchuanguan, he hasn't settled accounts with him.
If he is locked up for a year and a half, it is good to be able to determine his temperament.
Ming Yan was sitting quietly on the side, but about an hour was about to pass, and the young lady had not come back, so she began to fidget.
When Zhang Lingxi was tired of reading the weapon spectrum, Zang Xia found a script out of nowhere, and Zhang Lingxi plunged into it all of a sudden, and he was fascinated by it.
Mingyan's reaction, she didn't pay attention at all.
Still Zang Xia was careful, went over to ask, and comforted; "Since your young lady said that she was looking for someone, she will definitely not be able to come back for a while. Don't worry, although you didn't follow, the coachman must be an experienced man, and if you follow the young lady, at least you can't go wrong. ”
"Hey, I'm afraid that Miss Yijia's temperament will give birth to something wrong for no reason. I don't know where she's gone or when she'll be back, so I'm always upset. Mingyan saw that Zang Xia was a good talker, so she chatted with her without a match.
When the two of them talked, time passed a little faster. Mingyan's ears were always upright, and as soon as she heard the sound of footsteps, she immediately got up to look.
Qi Yang is walking side by side with Zhao Jiashan, talking and laughing.
walked to the door, but Zhao Jiashan refused to go in.
"Sister Xi hasn't said anything yet, why are you a big man awkward?" After Qi Yang saw that Zhang Lingxi and Zhao Jiashan's affairs became clear, he no longer regarded Zhao Jiashan as an elder, and he didn't speak politely as before.
Ming Yan hurriedly greeted her: "Miss, why did you come back?" ”
Qi Yang glanced at Zhao Jiashan indignantly, gritted his teeth and said, "It's not because you can't please move this big Buddha!" ”
Zhao Jiashan stood calmly beside him, without showing a trace of embarrassment, and Qi Yang looked even more angry.
"Sister Xi, I brought it to you, and I'll leave first." Qi Yang stood at the door and shouted as if he was invited, and then turned back to Zhao Jiashan and said, "You should give Sister Xi an idea, this is a good opportunity for you to perform, don't miss it." ”
After explaining, Qi Yang didn't dare to enter the house, so he beckoned this Mingyan to leave together. While walking, she didn't forget to say to Mingyan: "Hey, one day I will give Sister Xi an endless heart." ”
Mingyan lowered her head and smiled.
As soon as Qi Yang left, Zhao Jiashan was extremely embarrassed when he stood outside the door.
He couldn't go into Zhang Lingxi's boudoir, for fear of gossip from others.
But it's also indecent to stand here and shout.
After waiting at the door for a while, I couldn't hear Zhang Lingxi speak. As soon as Zhao Jiashan wanted to open his mouth, he heard Zhang Lingxi say in the house: "Zangxia, I think the room is a little stuffy, you go and open the window." ”
Zang Xia did as he was told, and didn't ask who the man outside was.
Zhao Jiashan looked at the half-open window and hesitated, walked to the window, lowered his head and said inside, "Are you okay?" I heard that you were injured, so I'll come and take a look. ”
Zhang Lingxi closed the notebook, lay on the bed and replied with a smile: "I'm fine, what about you?" ”
"Me too." Zhao Jiashan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"So, is the family good?" Zhang Lingxi asked again.
Zhao Jiashan knew that she was asking Minniang, and replied truthfully: "Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad, now I just changed the side medicine, and after drinking it for a few days, it seems to be a little better." ”
"That's good..."
There was silence in the room again.
"It's not convenient to meet today, but another day, when my leg injury is healed, I will come to visit." Zhang Lingxi felt a little embarrassed.
She should often go to Zhao's house to visit Minniang, but since Zhao Jiashan knew her identity, she didn't want to go to Zhao's house again, for fear that others would find out some clues.
"You can recuperate in peace, and we will talk about other things later." In order to make Zhang Lingxi feel relieved, Zhao Jiashan said: "Then I will leave first." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Lingxi answered softly, and regardless of whether Zhao Jiashan heard it or not, he covered himself with the quilt and smirked.
When there was no movement outside, Zhang Lingxi straightened up, looked out reluctantly, and sighed softly.
A figure suddenly flashed outside the half-open window, Zhang Lingxi was stunned for a moment, and then looked there carefully, as if he was dazzled.
Who knew that after a while, the figure flashed by again.
Zhang Lingxi opened his mouth and said: "In broad daylight, who is pretending to be a ghost there?" ”
The figure outside knocked on the window with his hand in boredom, revealing half of his face: "Why are you okay to open the window, and you are not afraid of the wind and cold!" ”
It turned out that Zhongzi was back.
She closed the window and went inside.
Looking at Zhong Zi's expression mysteriously, Zhang Lingxi asked puzzledly, "Cousin, why are you chattering?" ”
Zhong Zi made a "shhhhh ”
"Nope." Zhang Lingxi hid inside.
"It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have Zhong Zi suddenly laughed, stood up straight and said, "I thought he was coming, scared me to death." ”
"Brother Xian is not a man-eating monster, why are you scared like this, what are you doing wrong?"
Zhong Zi sneered: "Don't worry, absolutely not." ”
"Then you hide from him."
"I just don't want him to always ask Fang Xiu in front of me, ask me if I have gone out to meet Fang Xiu, ask him how he is with me, whether he feels that Fang Xiu has changed recently, or something. It's just too nagging. Zhong Zi paused and said suspiciously: "It seems that Fang Xiu is like this, when she sees me, she always asks Liu Xian about things." Can't the two of them get together and ask each other what they want to ask? ”
Zhang Lingxi swallowed his saliva cautiously and asked tentatively, "That cousin, do you think that between the two of them..."
"There's a problem!" Zhong Zi received it immediately.
"yes, do you think so?" Zhang Lingxi immediately came to the spirit.
I thought that Cousin Zhongzi wouldn't notice it, but I didn't expect the two of them to show their feet so quickly. Both of them care about each other so much, why do they have a Zhongzi cousin in the middle? What two villains!
Zhong Zi sat on the edge of the bed, fingers around the tassel around his waist and said, "Of course, the two of them are so strange that who can't see it." ”
"And you can still accept the two of them?" As soon as he heard that Zhong Zi had already seen it, Zhang Lingxi felt as if he was dreaming. Cousin Zhongzi is inevitably too generous!
"Oh, that's between the two brothers, what can I say."
Zhang Lingxi frowned painfully, lay down sideways silently, closed her eyes and began to pretend to be asleep.
The people involved don't care, what else can she say? (To be continued.) )
