Chapter 31: Going to the Feast

Zhang Lingxi and Qi Yang got out of the carriage hand in hand. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Minyan was supported by a mother-in-law, and her body was plump. I saw that she was wearing a Sihe Ruyi moire shirt, and she was wearing a jade hairpin with a whole emerald color on her head, which was not greased and powdered, and there was no extra decoration next to her, which was still pleasing to the eye.

"You're here at the right time, the sugar cake has just been fried in the kitchen, eat a piece while it's hot." Yang Minyan's complexion at home is excellent, white and red.

Qi Yang stood slightly behind Zhang Lingxi, and greeted Yang Minyan shyly.

Yang Minyan affectionately beckoned Qi Yang into the house.

Qi Yang took the opportunity to glance at Yang Minyan's stomach and secretly stuck out his tongue at Zhang Lingxi.

"Where's Hong'er?" Zhang Lingxi asked.

Yang Minyan said with a smile: "It just so happened that my mother came to the capital and sent it to my mother's side." ”

The Yang family also has a house to settle down in the capital.

Could it be because she came over today that she deliberately sent Hong'er out?

Zhang Lingxi kept an eye on it, Yang Minyan really didn't just want to invite her to dinner.

It seems that Zhao Jiashan has something to ask her. Whatever Yang Minyan told her next, she was absent-minded. I was just thinking about what method Yang Minyan would use to let Zhao Jiashan meet her.

Ze'er was still in the school, and Hong'er was sent out again. Zhang Lingxi has never seen any of these new subordinates in the family.

It turned out that a new person came, and the family changed. Even though the Zhao family's house in the capital is still the original layout, and there is a pomegranate tree in the courtyard, it is very unfamiliar.

"The cook is newly hired, from Lingbi County. After a while, you can taste the food and see if it suits your taste. Yang Minyan saw Zhang Lingxi looking at the servants in the family, and said: "These are newcomers, and the three who came from Baoding Mansion are all serving at my mother-in-law's." ”

"Old lady, how is she?" Zhang Lingxi asked as he walked.

"It's still the same, the master and I are persuading her to be an old man, but when she thinks of Jiarou, she sheds tears." Yang Minyan shed a tear as she spoke.

Her sincere appearance was moving, Qi Yang followed with two tears and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to find the little aunt." ”

Qi Yang intended to visit Zhao Ji.

Yang Minyan glanced at Zhang Lingxi awkwardly and asked the maid to go to the old lady to report.

After a while, the maid came back with her head down, and whispered a word next to Yang Minyan.

Yang Minyan said apologetically: "My mother-in-law is unwell and has fallen asleep. ”

Zhang Lingxi quietly explained to Qi Yang the current embarrassing state of the Zhao family and the Zhang family, and Qi Yang nodded knowingly.

"Now that the old lady has rested, let's visit her old man next time."

Yang Minyan exhaled as if he had been granted amnesty.

Zhang Lingxi took out the birthday gift for Yang Minyan, and Qi Yang also took it out.

Yang Minyan smiled and excused himself: "I'm very happy if you come to join in the fun, you really don't need to prepare gifts." ”

Zhang Lingxi said: "You can tell Sister Yang about this." I just embroidered a purse, she, went to the silver building to choose a thousand choices, and only then did I pick a hairpin for you. ”

Zhang Lingxi stuffed the purse to Yang Minyan and gave up his place to Qi Yang.

Qi Yang said embarrassedly: "My embroidery is not as good as Sister Xi'er, and I want to send a delicate thing that does not lose to her, so I picked a hairpin, I'm afraid you don't like it." ”

Yang Minyan took the box in surprise and opened it to see.

"Oh, how can I take such a valuable thing."

"You just have to say whether it's good or not, and don't say anything else." Zhang Lingxi and Yang Minyan don't have to be so polite. She looked at Qi Yang and looked at it, hoping that Yang Minyan would like it, so she asked for her.

"I like it, how I don't like it. It's just for you to send such a valuable thing, I'm really..."Yang Minyan looked at Qi Yang.

Qi Yang's eyes bent up, and he said with a smile: "This thing is said to be valuable, but what is valuable is the heart." If you like it, put it away and wear it beautifully. ”

"Don't let Mingzhu be dusty and let down Sister Yang's wishes." Zhang Lingxi "forced" Yang Minyan to accept the gift in a somewhat forced tone.

"I'm also worried about the gifts I have for you, you are cheesy. Now I was relieved. ”

Seeing that Yang Minyan asked his subordinates to carefully put it away, Qi Yang said.

Her intentions won Yang Minyan's favor.

When it was time to eat, I didn't see Zhao Jiashan come back.

Yang Minyan explained: "The master has something to go out and won't come back for a while." ”

"That's fine, we can be uninhibited." Zhang Lingxi said with a smile.

Qi Yang also echoed.

Yang Minyan looked at the two of them kindly, asked the maid to come over to make dishes, and took out the wine from the cellar and poured it for Qi Yang and Zhang Lingxi.

"I have a body, I can't drink, so I'll just watch you two have fun."

When there are a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, a few glasses of wine, Qi Yang will get drunk.

Zhang Lingxi was slightly drunk, leaned on the table and said, "I'll go change clothes." ”

Yang Minyan grabbed her and ordered, "Take Miss Nine to change her clothes." ”

Zhang Lingxi was in Zhang's house for nine, and Yang Minyan also called her Miss Nine.

Fortunately, she didn't get drunk into a puddle of mud, and the maid helped her quite easily.

After going to the official room, Zhang Lingxi's intoxicated eyes became clear.

Under the pomegranate tree, a man was standing.

Hearing the footsteps, the man turned his head and met Zhang Lingxi's gaze.

"Miss Nine."

The man called.

Zhao Jiashan, Zhang Lingxi shouted silently in his heart.

"There are a few things in the following, I don't understand yet, I want to ask Miss Nine for advice." A cold light flashed in Zhao Jiashan's eyes.

The cute little girl in the past has grown into a big girl.

"In that case, let's take a step and talk." Facing Zhao Jiashan, Zhang Lingxi no longer has palpitations. Treat him like an ordinary person, just like seeing Qi Luming seeing Liu Xian seeing Zhou Da Tuesday.

Zhang Lingxi cheered herself up.

Obviously ready, my heart was still pounding.

Zhao Jiashan bowed his head and took Zhang Lingxi to the study.

As soon as he closed the door, Zhang Lingxi instinctively showed a worried mood.

"Miss Nine, don't be afraid, I'll let you out after asking." Zhao Jiashan said.

"What do you want to ask, it takes so much effort."

"It seems that Miss Nine is very smart, no wonder she can send Jiarou away."

"I don't quite understand what you said, why I sent Jiarou away." Zhang Lingxi's attitude is also very tough.

"God knows, you know, I know. Miss Nine doesn't have to hide it. Zhao Jiashan said: "I hope that Miss Nine can take the initiative to tell Jiarou's whereabouts." ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know." Zhang Lingxi avoided Zhao Jiashan's eyes, and she brushed the broken hair around her ears.

The appearance of pulling his hair sideways is very similar to Xu's.

Zhao Jiashan's heart thumped.

He suppressed his surprise, there are thousands of people in the world, there are thousands of differences, there are thousands of similarities, it is not unusual.

Zhang Lingxi saw that Zhao Jiashan had not spoken for a long time, raised his eyelids and peeked at him.

Zhao Jiashan was shocked again.

Familiar sensations poured out of his heart like a flood.

When he was newly married, Xu accompanied him to study, and he liked to peek at him like this.

The same look, exactly the same.

Although Xu and Zhang Lingxi's appearance are not similar at all.

"The two of them have no guide, if it weren't for your help, how could they get out of the capital? I inquired, during that time, your second uncle Qi Xianzhu had a guide in his hand. ”

"Are you saying that my second uncle let go of Jiarou and my fifth brother? Then you ask my second uncle to go, why did you invite me to come over? Zhang Lingxi asked rhetorically.

Zhao Jiashan didn't think about being rude, but he just felt that if he scared and scared Zhang Lingxi, maybe he could say something.

Zhang Lingxi stiffened with him for an hour and didn't ask anything.

Yang Minyan's maid came over and knocked on the door, "Master, Mrs. asked me to tell you, the tofu soup is cooked, when will you eat?" ”

Zhao Jiashan said in a deep voice through the door: "When I'm hungry, I'll naturally go to eat." ”

The maid retreated when she heard this.

There was silence in the room again.

"No matter how much you ask, I don't know or don't know. If you use any means, or anything else, it has nothing to do with me. Zhang Lingxi was resolute and said: "You think I did this thing, then you can start from my side and find out little by little." If it is found out that I didn't do it and wronged me, then Master Zhao, you have to apologize to me for your behavior today. ”

"I didn't mean to embarrass you, I just wanted to find out Jiarou's whereabouts."

"Master Zhao, dare to ask who you have hurt Acacia for?"

Zhao Jiashan's face changed, and he said, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"I heard that you and your deceased wife Xu's childhood sweetheart are in love with each other, and they are like glue when they are together. I think you've been lovesick too. ”

Zhao Jiashan nodded awkwardly, not knowing Zhang Lingxi's intentions.

Zhang Lingxi said: "Since you have also harmed Acacia, you should know Jiarou's suffering. The choices she made weren't necessarily wrong, so why didn't you trust her once? ”

Zhao Jiashan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then do you think she made the right choice?" ”

"At least for now, it seems that my fifth brother is her best choice at the moment."

Zhao Jiashan snorted coldly, disdainful of Zhang Lingxi's words, and said, "You don't have to intercede for your fifth brother." ”

"I'm not interceding for my fifth brother, but Jiarou. She knew my fifth brother like a confidant. Isn't that much better than her marrying an old man who is dying? Although my fifth brother has no longevity now, at least he has the courage to say that he will not be a big thing in the future. ”

"Oh, the person who wants to achieve great things is how he kidnapped Jiarou by despicable means, isn't it?"

"I think it's a decision between the two of them."

"Jiarou, she doesn't have the guts."

"Who knows that she won't have such courage for my fifth brother? To put it mildly, if it were you and Xu, in that case, you would probably make the same decision. ”

Zhao Jiashan said: "Then let's take a step back, if you tell me Jiarou's whereabouts, after finding them, I will let Jiarou marry your fifth brother." ”

Zhang Lingxi pondered for a long time.

"You persuaded me for a long time, and now I ask you. What if your fifth brother is like your father and Jiarou marries him? ”

"No, it won't."

"Where did you get your faith?"

"I don't know." Zhang Lingxi's eyes dimmed.

"Sister Xi, don't you still want to say it?" Zhao Jiashan looked at Zhang Lingxi drooping his head, and couldn't help but shout Sister Xi.

Zhang Lingxi nodded, shook his head again, and said nothing.

"One day in the future, when you meet someone you love, will you make the same decision as Jiarou?" Zhao Jiashan suddenly asked very abruptly.

He didn't know what was going on with him, so the words somehow came to his lips and he said them.

"Probably not, after all, there are lessons from the past." Zhang Lingxi laughed at herself.

Zhao Jiashan was in a trance in front of him, and felt that Zhang Lingxi's appearance of bowing his head gradually overlapped with the shadow hidden deep in his heart.

Yang Minyan sent the maid over again, saying that Qi Yang's wine had woken up.

This is urging Zhao Jiashan.

"Let's go." There is really no way to take Zhang Lingxi, and you can't detain Zhang Lingxi like detaining Tuesday.

And today's incident, whether Zhang Lingxi will tell Qi Xianjun or her grandmother is unknown.

"Don't worry, I won't tell you about today. By the way, you can't ask anything anyway, you won't ask me again, right? ”

"Yes."

Zhang Lingxi heard the affirmative answer and walked out of the study without looking back.

Her eyes were a little wet, but unfortunately no one saw them.

After sending Zhang Lingxi and Qi Yang away, Yang Minyan returned to the house.

"Min Niang, I've worked hard for you today." Zhao Jiashan hugged Yang Minyan from behind and exhaled into her ear.

Yang Minyan said: "The concubine should do these things. I'm afraid that Sister Xi will be angry with me because of this. ”

"She doesn't look like a bad talker. It's a big deal to let Sister Chen persuade her. ”

"That's right. However, she has a different temperament from Sister Chen, Sister Chen says everything, and she looks more serious. Yang Minyan asked, "What did the master gain today?" ”

After a tired day, Zhao Jiashan untied his clothes and planned to lie on the bed and talk to Yang Minyan.

"Huh?" Zhao Jiashan touched his waist, "Where's my purse?" ”

Yang Minyan smiled and asked the maid to take out the purse.

"Master, you have hung this purse for so many years, and it is already old." Yang Minyan took the purse with a smile and was suddenly stunned.

"What's wrong?"

"It's really strange that Sister Xi gave me that purse is exactly the same as this one, but the thread used is different." Yang Minyan said with his purse in his hand.

"What's the same?"

Yang Minyan rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the purse that Sister Xi gave her, spread the two purses in the palm of her hand, and showed them to Zhao Jiashan: "Look, sir, these two purses have exactly the same pattern and stitches. ”

"What's so strange about this, it's just a trick." Zhao Jiashan said.

The men were all rough, and they didn't feel anything when they saw that the two purses were the same. In his eyes, all the purses are the same, the only difference is that the older purse was given to him by Xu Qinghan.

Yang Minyan patiently explained: "It's just something else, this purse is embroidered by Sister Xi herself, and even the stitches are the same as that." Even if it is a teacher, there will be no such coincidence. Could it be that the person who embroidered the purse for the master is Sister Xi'er's master? ”

"Nonsense, when Sister Xi was born, the Xu family was gone. How could it be possible to be a master for her. Zhao Jiashan finally began to feel that this coincidence was weird.

Come to think of it, Sister Xi and Xu really have a lot of similarities.

Others can be deliberately imitated, but the demeanor and temperament cannot be imitated.

Could it be that Sister Xi and the Xu family are not fated to?

But if they are not related to each other, how can there be two people who are so similar. (To be continued.) )
