Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Visitor

"Old lady, miss, letter from Baoding Mansion. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Lingxi was practicing swords with her grandmother, and she walked in with a letter in her arms, holding it in both hands, and presented it to the old lady.

"I was tired from running, and my head was sweating. Ling Que took her down to drink a bowl of chilled sour plum soup to relieve the heat, "The old lady asked Mama Cheng to take the letter, and the eyebrows were taken by others, and she went down to rest."

Because she likes Zhang Lingxi, the old lady is also very tolerant of the maids around Zhang Lingxi. These people in the old lady's courtyard all looked at it, and their attitude towards Emei has always been very polite.

Zhang Lingxi leaned over and said, "Grandmother, Lingxi will help you read the letter." ”

Mama Cheng glanced at the old lady and handed the letter to Zhang Lingxi with a smile.

The envelope is quite thick, and it is written by the old man of the Zhang family. Zhang Lingxi opened it and saw that there was still a letter to her, in the envelope.

Zhang Lingxi glanced at it roughly, and said to her grandmother: "My grandmother said that on my birthday this year, Sister Qing wanted to come over to give a birthday gift. The letter to you is probably a greeting or something, and the letter to me is to ask if I would like to let Sister Qing come. ”

The old lady nodded. Ling Xi's grandmother understood very clearly, she didn't write a letter to Ling Xi directly, but turned her hand instead, in fact, she wanted to ask her what she meant.

Probably because she was afraid that Sister Qing'er's identity would be embarrassing, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were reluctant to see her.

"I thought that your sister-in-law didn't have enough brains, but I didn't think I underestimated her. You see, she was able to persuade your grandmother to come over and give her a birthday gift. ”

"When you get older, you naturally have more skills. According to Ling Xi's wishes, let her come over. Why are we avoiding her, as if we were in a loss. Let's see what she thinks. Zhang Lingxi said firmly.

Mama Cheng stood there with her eyes down, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "The slave is thinking, there is such a mother, who has such a reputation, and when she is time to marry, no one wants to marry her." She came over this time, maybe so that others could see that the Prime Minister was not angry with her? ”

Zhang Lingxi looked at Mama Cheng with appreciation, and said convincingly: "I didn't expect this. It's time for her to say kiss, how can she not be in a hurry. I have to come here in every possible way, maybe it's just for this. ”

Sister Qing is a concubine, and there is no mother by her side to plan for her, and her father is a heavy drinker all day long, so he doesn't care about how Sister Qing is doing.

Over the years, when Sister Qing saw Zhang Lingxi, she looked at her with the eyes of an enemy.

Suddenly, let Sister Qing come over with a smile to give her birthday gift, did she really let go of her hatred, or did she have to bow her head for the sake of her future?

If it's the latter, it's terrible.

It's as if a viper is secretly spitting out letters, waiting to strike you a fatal blow.

Grandmother is willing to let Sister Qing out. It must have been a problem in Sister Qing'er's family affairs.

Sister Qing came over, and Zhang Lingxi had to keep her.

When the time comes, Sister Qing should find a way. There is not only her sister in the capital, but also Sister Qing's uncle Fan Yunlan.

Could it be that Sister Qing is going to say goodbye in the capital?

"Then when she comes this time, she will definitely make a move in front of Ling Xi, let's Ling Xi don't drink her ecstasy soup." The old lady instructed Zhang Lingxi.

The old lady didn't want her to fully accept Sister Qing'er, for fear that Sister Qing would be like Fan Yunzhi and calculating.

"Ling Xi remembers your teachings, no matter how good she is to me, I can't be blinded and led by her nose." In previous years, when she went back, Sister Qing was cold and indifferent to her, and suddenly changed her temperament, and Zhang Lingxi had to be on guard. "If she is really good to me, and my grandmother really raises her well-informed, then it is okay to recognize this sister. If I help her, she will have less hard work for half her life, right? ”

The old lady looked at Zhang Lingxi with a smile and said, "You are old and have your own ideas, it's all up to you." ”

"Grandmother, you're so nice." Zhang Lingxi's eyebrows and eyes are crooked, very good-looking.

Growing up with my grandmother, I was less restrained and more free.

After reading the letter, someone sent another letter.

The old lady looked at Zhang Lingxi and smiled, and said, "What a good day is today, everyone is worried about me." ”

"According to my grandmother, it was a good day. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm thinking about my grandmother all day. Zhang Lingxi said cheekily.

"You're worried about my sword book!" The old lady opened the letter in front of Zhang Lingxi.

This letter came from the army, and Zhang Lingxi didn't dare to say anything to her grandmother to help read the letter or something.

It was also an urgent letter, but the old lady didn't seem to be in a hurry. She read the letter with a glance and smiled with satisfaction.

That's the good news.

"Grandmother, is it a letter from my brother?" Zhang Lingxi saw that the old lady was happy like that, and had a guess in her heart.

"Spirits, you know everything. It was a letter from your brother Xian, who said that he had destroyed the enemy's grain and grass storehouse with 300 light cavalry. This battle is a great victory! The old lady spoke of the military with a radiant spirit.

"Is Brother Xian injured?"

It must have been a difficult battle, otherwise my grandmother would not have been so happy about the victory.

"But when an army marches into battle, it is indispensable to be wounded. He didn't mention it in his letter, and I think even if he was injured, it wasn't serious. The old lady said.

Zhang Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did Brother Xian mention me in his letter?" Zhang Lingxi stuck out his tongue and asked cautiously.

The old lady handed the letter to Zhang Lingxi and said, "Look at it yourself, you don't have to ask me this and that." I'm tired, so you're going back today, right? ”

Zhang Lingxi pinched the letter and nodded like a chicken pecking rice. My grandmother said that she didn't need to serve her, and she still served her grandmother to sleep, and then trotted all the way back to her house, and took out the letter like a baby.

Showing his brother's handwriting is strong and powerful, and he is invincible. Zhang Lingxi's heart was pounding, as if he was about to jump out of his throat.

Zhang Lingxi read it word by word, followed Liu Xian's narration, and was so excited that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

A long letter, she read it word by word, and felt that it was too short, and there was no way to fully understand the recent situation of Brother Xian from the letter.

Thinking about Liu Xian's departure, it was like parting from life and death, and he said goodbye to her seriously and reluctantly. Zhang Lingxi held the letter with mixed feelings.

Fortunately, Brother Xian is fine, he promised that he would return safely, and he will definitely do it.

Liu Xian will definitely cherish himself for the promise he made when he left. He said that in the next six months, he would find a way to send a letter back, and he really did it.

probably thinks that apart from Ze'er and Zhao Jiashan, Liu Xian is the only person she has met in her previous life, but she has only met in this life. She cherishes this fate.

Seeing that there was really a greeting from Brother Xian at the end of the letter, and he also mentioned that he didn't know if Sister Xi'er's flower fist embroidered legs had grown, Zhang Lingxi burst into tears and laughed.

Ruomu cleaned up outside the door, listening to Zhang Lingxi crying and laughing for a while in the door, he hurriedly went to find Zhumei to come over.

"Miss, are you alright?" Zhumei knocked on the door.

Zhang Lingxi wiped away her tears and opened the door.

Zhumei looked at Zhang Lingxi with concern and looked up and down.

Ruomu lowered his head apologetically, not daring to look at Zhang Lingxi.

"You're here just in time, I have something to tell you, come in." Zhang Lingxi said to Zhu Mei.

Zhu Mei entered the house as he said and closed the door.

"I am grateful that you were the most powerful person beside my mother, and that you followed me to this unfamiliar place." Zhang Lingxi said.

Zhu Mei hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

"I admire you in my heart and feel that you deserve my admiration. You see, now that Rings can be on their own, I can't bear you worrying about me. Near Qingchuan Temple, the new Zhuangzi I bought, do you remember? ”

Zhumei's heart tightened, Miss Fei was disgusted with her and wanted to drive her to Zhuangzi.

"The slave remembers."

"What do you think of the banker?" Zhang Lingxi asked.

Zhumei took the ring to the Zhuangzi, and she knew the head of the Zhuangzi on several Zhuangzi.

Zhumei's face flushed, and he said shyly: "It looks very capable, and he is a real person." ”

Zhang Lingxi looked at Zhumei, her face turned red inexplicably, and she stammered a little: "It's the first time, and I don't know if it suits your heart, so I asked you to come over and ask." ”

Zhu Mei buried his head and said, "I don't know what people mean..."

That is, he agreed, Zhang Lingxi laughed and said, "Don't worry, I asked him first." It's best to fit your heart, I think it's close to Qingchuanguan, and I want you to take care of someone for me. ”

"What the young lady ordered, the slave maid naturally did her best." Zhumei replied.

Zhang Lingxi beckoned to her and asked her to come over.

Zhumei was a little closer to her, and Zhang Lingxi whispered a few words in her ear.

Zhumei's eyes turned red, and her whole body trembled, and she covered her mouth with her hand tightly and sobbed.

After a long while, Zhumei collected her tears.

"Miss, does Mama Jiang know?"

Some time ago, Zhang Lingxi sent Mama Jiang to a nearby Zhuangzi to be raised. The children were all around.

Zhang Lingxi nodded and said, "I know before you." I've already gone to see my mother. ”

Zhumei couldn't help crying again, and said while crying: "This is a happy thing, slaves and maids shouldn't cry, they shouldn't cry." But the tears were like beads of broken threads, crackling and falling down.

"Alright, you quickly pack up." Zhang Lingxi handed her a handkerchief and said, "Wipe it, don't let people see it." ”

Zhumei respectfully wiped away her tears.

Zhumei and Mama Jiang were sent to their mother, and Zhang Lingxi felt more at ease.

Coincidentally, Doctor Huo went to Qingchuan Temple, and Zhao Jiashan also went. Zhang Lingxi was extremely uneasy.

The more often familiar people go, the more uneasy she becomes.

What should Qi do if he is exposed?

Or would you like to find an opportunity to stand up in a dignified manner?

Zhang Lingxi bit her fingers and thought about things.

Forget it, she let go of the thumb she was holding, and she still had to hide it from her marriage. Otherwise, the Qi clan would not agree.

Qi Yang told Qi Ru about Zhang Lingxi, and Qi Ru was worried that Sister Xi would be stupid. It just so happened that she was pregnant again, and she felt that it was a happy event worth sharing, so she prepared a car.

Zhang Lingxi looked at Qi Ru's lower abdomen and counted the days, when Qi Ru followed him to Qingchuan Temple, she should have been pregnant, and she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.

Qi Yang was not afraid, helped Qi Ru into the house, and said, "Sister Xi, hurry up, if there is anything delicious and delicious, hurry up." Now Sister Ru is two people. ”

Qi Ru's eyes lit up when she heard that she was eating, she touched her belly and said, "Sister Xi, I really want to eat pickles these days, can you bring some from Baoding Mansion?" ”

"Don't say it, you're really a good mouthful, you want to do whatever you want. Two days later, my sister-in-law came over, and I asked her to bring more pickles. Zhang Lingxi said.

"Sister-in-law? Is it the daughter of the aunt who killed your mother? Qi Yang doesn't care about pickles, he cares about who the sister in Zhang Lingxi's mouth is.

"Well, it's Aunt Fan's daughter."

"Tsk, she really dares to come, not afraid of being beaten out?" Qi Yang made a gesture of rolling up his sleeves.

"Oh, it's getting more and more disagreeable, you have to compare and compare, don't scare your nephew." Qi Ru glared at Qi Yang, and Qi Yang sat down in disdain.

"Aunt Fan doesn't do what she does." Zhang Lingxi said: "If she is as bad as Aunt Fan, then I can't tolerate her." But she hasn't done anything bad until now. ”

"Soft-hearted, it's not like your style, Sister Xi. What did you do to me back then, it seems that this kiss and the table are different! Qi Yang said dissatisfiedly.

Qi Ru saw that the atmosphere was about to stiffen, slapped the table, and said, "You two still have the heart to quarrel, your nephew is hungry." ”

Zhang Lingxi hurriedly asked Fusang to bring snacks.

Qi Yang snorted.

"Sister Xi, what's going on with you?" Qi Ru had something to eat, and began to ask about "serious things".

Qi Yang was more active than Zhang Lingxi, and said: "Didn't I tell you in the letter, the person Sister Xi likes is Zhao Hanlin in Baoding Mansion." She covered her mouth with her hands and added, "It's Zhao Ze's father." ”

Qi Ru laughed and said, "Then if you two couples really come to pass, Sister Yang, don't you want to call Sister Xi's mother-in-law?" Ha ha! ”

Qi Yang stomped his feet and said, "Oh, I just thought about helping Sister Xi, but I didn't even think of this layer." She pointed at Sister Xi and asked, "Did you deliberately want to take advantage of me to like Zhao Ze's father?" Hey, you're not going to hold a grudge against me, are you? ”

"What nonsense." Without waiting for Zhang Lingxi to speak, Qi Ru said: "If Sister Xi marries someone so many years older than her for you, wouldn't it be a big loss for someone to be her steproom." ”

Zhang Lingxi also smiled: "I didn't mean to. However, if I really become your mother-in-law, how will you honor me? ”

Qi Yang thought for a while, rushed forward, and said, "How can I honor my mother-in-law, I have to massage my mother-in-law first, right?" As she spoke, she began to scratch Zhang Lingxi.

Zhang Lingxi couldn't escape no matter how he ran, so he could only beg for mercy.

Qi Yang also gasped and looked at Zhang Lingxi.

Sister Xi'er's cheeks are red, she is really good-looking. If she were a man, she must have been fascinated.

Qi Yang suddenly thought of Zhao Ze, and he told her that he respected Sister Xi like a mother. Moreover, when she told Zhao Ze that Sister Xi had someone she liked, Zhao Ze seemed to guess who it was at once.

Could it be that Zhao Ze really wants Sister Xi to be his stepmother?

Is Yang Minyan treating him badly?

Qi Yang sat down, poured a cup of tea, and looked at Zhang Lingxi carefully until she felt uncomfortable. (To be continued.) )
