Chapter 11: Night Talk
Zhang Lingxi waited left and right, but still didn't see Zhao Jiarou reply to her, and she panicked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Qi Yang came to her to learn how to play the rope, she was in a trance, and something went wrong after a while. Frightened, Qi Yang asked her, "What's wrong?" I've never seen you so upset. ”
Zhang Lingxi smiled reluctantly and said, "I haven't slept well these days." "It's true that I can't sleep at night, and it's not because of Zhao Jiarou. But she couldn't tell others about Zhao Jiarou, so she only said half of the words, and let Qi Yang guess the rest.
It was a straight-hearted person, and he didn't think about Zhang Lingxi's words carefully, so Qi Yang took her hand carefully and looked at it. Then he nodded seriously and said, "You are really not in good spirits, or I will go to take leave with Mrs. Zhong for you, and you can make up for sleep in the house in the afternoon." ”
Zhang Lingxi yawned unconsciously, unable to sleep, and the more he mentioned, the more sleepy he became.
Qi Yang sympathized with her even more, snatched the things in her hand, and pushed her to sleep.
When he closed his eyes, he couldn't hear Qi Yang's nagging. Zhang Lingxi's heart was warm, as if she had passed through a warm current.
Qi Yang urged Zhang Lingxi to close his eyes and sleep, but he was bored.
I saw her sit on the edge of the bed for a while, get up lightly, and turn around in Zhang Lingxi's room, feeling that the furnishings here are not as good as hers.
There is only one unique place, which is the bamboo wind chimes hanging by Zhang Lingxi's window.
She stood there and watched for a moment.
Because of the gentleness under her feet, Zhang Lingxi was not awakened, but fell asleep with even breathing.
Emei pushed the door in at this time.
"What's the matter?" Qi Yang raised his hand to silence her, then walked to the door and asked her.
E's eyebrows lowered her eyes and said, "The little master of the Zhao family is here, do you want to inform my young lady." ”
Zhao Ze didn't feel strange when Qi Yang came, he was a frequent visitor these days. Probably he originally came to play with Zhang Lingxi, but he kept touching her, but she played more with Zhao Ze.
Zhang Lingxi's stuffy oil bottle temperament, sometimes I can't play with the two of them.
The corners of Qi Yang's mouth curled up and said, "Your young lady is asleep, don't disturb her yet." Take me there, and I'll treat her the same way. ”
Zhao Ze looked restless again, as if he was nervous every time he saw Zhang Lingxi.
He had drunk two cups of tea, but his mouth was still dry.
Qi Yang stopped his eyebrows again, tiptoed behind Zhao Ze, and his cold little hands suddenly covered his eyes.
"Guess who I am?" Qi Yang gave Emei a look, and Emei shouted out tacitly.
Zhao Ze's body stiffened, his eyebrows curled together like caterpillars, but he didn't dare to pick up the other pair of hands covering his eyelids.
"You... You let go of me..."Zhao Ze's tone was flustered, but he didn't dare to move.
Qi Yang couldn't help laughing, his hand shook with his body and laughed, and finally let go of his hand.
Zhao Ze turned around with a red face and saw that it was Qi Yang.
Inexplicably relieved, and said with some annoyance: "Why do you keep making such jokes with me? ”
Qi Yang snorted and said, "I'm always joking with you, you can't even guess it's me." ”
Zhao Ze touched the back of his head embarrassedly: "Your voice is different every time, how do you want me to guess?" ”
"Oh, don't talk about it, it's obvious that you're stupid!" Qi Yang turned around and turned his back to Zhao Ze angrily.
Zhao Ze is the stupidest, he won't coax her when she's angry, she will just watch you anxious at a loss.
Qi Yang turned around again and asked curiously, "Why do you always come to Sister Xi?" ”
Zhao Zegang was worried about how to make Qi Yang happy, and Qi Yang immediately threw another problem to him.
He couldn't let him say that he felt that Sister Xi was like his mother, so he always came to her.
Zhao Ze said hesitantly: "I have no friends in the capital. There are few friends in Baoding Mansion. I know her. ”
She didn't even want to call Sister Xi'er's name, she called her every time. Qi Yang rolled his eyes and said, "Then don't you still know me, and I don't see you looking for me." ”
"I'm not afraid of you, you don't want to play with me."
"It's my business whether I want to or not, but it's not right for you not to play with me." Qi Yang pouted.
Zhao Ze had no choice but to nod, "I listen to you, just be happy." ”
Qi Yang finally laughed.
"What are you talking about so happy!" Zhang Lingxi slept for a while, had energy, and walked out with a smile and asked.
I didn't expect the two of them to be able to play together, Qi Yang's temperament is a little pungent and sharp, and Ze'er's gentleness complements her.
When Ze'er is looking for a daughter-in-law, she has to find someone who is more powerful and hurts. Otherwise, if you find someone with the same personality as him, after Yang Minyan's child is born, Ze'er is afraid that she will not be able to support this family, and let people occupy it in vain.
Zhang Lingxi feels that we don't want to grab other people's things, and we must keep our own things.
Yang Minyan didn't come to the door in the past few days, Zhao Ze came by himself, and Zhang Lingxi muttered in his heart. Isn't she there, watch out and don't dare to walk around?
It's okay not to think so, but when she thinks so, Zhang Lingxi feels even more upset.
"We laugh at you in broad daylight and sleep like a pig." Qi Yang grimaced at Zhang Lingxi.
Zhao Ze lowered his head in shame.
"Okay, you two teamed up to bully me!"
"It's a partnership to bully you, if you don't accept it, just sue us." Qi Yang played tricks on his lips, but his hand held Zhang Lingxi affectionately.
As a result, even Qi Yang went to Zhong Niangzi to take leave, and the three of them played crazy all afternoon. When it was almost time for dinner, a carriage came to pick up Zhao Ze back.
Waiting to send Zhao Ze away, Qi Yang patted Zhang Lingxi on the shoulder and asked her to go back and rest.
Zhang Lingxi sent Qi Yang to the third room again, and walked back with Peihuan and Fusang.
Fusang held the lantern in front, Zhang Lingxi and Peihuan followed behind, and Peihuan carefully hugged Zhang Lingxi.
When passing by the stone forest, there was a rustling sound.
Fusang quickened his pace in fear, but Zhang Lingxi's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and refused to move.
"Miss. Let's go. Fuso's voice was a little crying. It's like the wind blowing lightly.
"Wait a minute. Listen, is there a cat meow? ”
Zhang Lingxi pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Wearing Ring also pricked up his ears to listen, and said uncertainly, "It seems that a cat is barking." ”
"It's a big night, if you don't go back, what are you doing here?"
The cold voice was like ice cubes that had just been chiseled out of an ice cellar, and it fell on Zhang Lingxi's head with a bang, making her feel cold from her feet to the top of her head.
Qi Luming hugged a cat and walked out of the stone forest.
Fusang's lantern pulls Qi Luming's figure to the elder. The cat in his arms raised its head and meowed at Zhang Lingxi.
"Jiu'er!"
Zhang Lingxi reached out to hug the cat in surprise.
Jiu'er didn't know where she slipped away as early as when her mother was mourning, and there was a lot of chaos at home at that time, and she didn't find it for a long time. It turned out to be here in Qi Luming.
"I'm sorry."
Qi Luming struggled to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth.
"Huh?" Zhang Lingxi didn't hear clearly.
Qi Luming said again with a red face: "I'm sorry." ”
The dim light illuminated his face very softly, and even made Zhang Lingxi have an illusion for a moment, thinking that the person in front of him must not be Qi Luming.
didn't bother to speak, Qi Luming turned around and entered the bamboo forest without saying a word.
He seemed to be apologizing, Zhang Lingxi just reacted.
Jiu'er waved her paws and meowed. It was as if it was screaming at Qi Deer.
Qi Luming's figure slowly disappeared in the stone forest and the night.
There were some things he didn't say to Zhang Lingxi. For example, when his aunt died, he sneaked out of the house again to see her in Baoding. The lost Jiu'er was picked up by him at that time. For example, he made several green bamboo wind chimes, but he didn't give them away. For example, he always wanted to say thank you to Zhang Lingxi, but it turned out to be sorry.
Fusang and Peihuan were a little afraid of coming and going in a hurry to approach the young master, and persuaded Zhang Lingxi to hurry back to the house.
Two days later, Zhang Lingxi received a letter from Aunt Xue.
She asked in the letter, saying that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, is Miss Nine ready?
Zhang Lingxi smiled bitterly and raised her pen, but she never finished writing a reply to Aunt Xue.
I have to say that she gave Zhao Jiarou a bad idea.
No wonder Zhao Jiarou didn't dare to reply to the letter, and asked Aunt Xue to come forward.
She remembered that Mrs. Ji's health was not so good, especially in spring and autumn, and she always couldn't sleep at night. Therefore, she gave Zhao Jiarou advice, saying that she was asked to find a master to approve her life, saying that marrying before the age of 24 would affect her mother's body.
It's best to let Mrs. Ji suddenly fall ill when the matchmaker comes to the door. Mrs. Ji loves to think nonsense, and she must be so scared that she refuses to let Zhao Jiarou get married.
Zhao Jiarou must have felt that this method was not feasible, or she was unwilling to make her grandmother sick.
However, Zhang Lingxi's letter is not just for Zhao Jiarou alone. She calculated that Aunt Xue would look at it.
With Aunt Xue's beloved son like her life, she must be thinking of a way to prevent Zhao Jiarou from marrying the sick old man.
It is estimated that she will not believe it for a long time, because Aunt Xue is afraid. I'm afraid that after the master has given him a life, he won't dare to come to the door if he really has a good marriage.
Thinking that Mrs. Ji was pressing, Aunt Xue had no good way for a while, and Zhao Jiarou said that she would not marry her, so Aunt Xue replied.
Everything is ready, that means that Mrs. Ji is already sick? Or is she ready to make Mrs. Ji sick once?
Zhang Lingxi knew that Aunt Xue was smart, but she had never used tricks on Mrs. Ji.
Zhang Lingxi still put down the pen and asked Zhou Da to inquire around in Baoding Mansion before thinking about how to reply to Aunt Xue.
Aunt Xue really thinks smarter than her.
first pretended to be very satisfied with this family business, and in front of Mrs. Ji, she praised her to the point that there is nothing in heaven and earth, which made Ji happy. then spent money to dot the matchmaker over there, so that the family also thought that Zhao Jiarou was in a hurry to marry.
So the two families made an appointment to meet with Daci Pavilion as a matter of course, and the Ji family went to meet with the housewife of the family in person, which could be regarded as giving Zhao Jiarou face.
Aunt Xue also donated an ever-bright lamp to the old lady with her own money, and donated another one to Zhao Jiarou.
The old lady's lamp was extinguished as soon as it was lit. Later, I couldn't click on anything. Mrs. Ji was a little disappointed, and naturally blamed Aunt Xue.
Aunt Xue endured listening to her lesson, and was driven back to the house by Mrs. Ji first.
When she went back, the old lady tripped and fell for some reason, and she was bedridden for several days.
Aunt Xue just did her tricks and feet at the Changming Lantern, thinking that there was a head to say when the master gave orders. Who knew that things were so coincidental, Mrs. Ji broke her leg by herself.
Coincidentally, Yang Minyan, who had not been at the door for a long time, came over to ask Zhang Lingxi and asked her if she could invite a better Taoist priest to remove the calamity for Mrs. Ji, and the old lady believed in this the most. The silver is naturally theirs, and they are willing to give as much as they want.
Zhang Lingxi saw that this timing was also just right, and asked the second aunt to find a rather authoritative master and go to remove the misfortune of Mrs. Ji. The doctor was naturally invited, and it was Yang Minyan's filial piety to the outside world.
Yang Minyan was very grateful, and Aunt Xue was also grateful. Mrs. Ji listened to the master's words, and said that she would not deal with the family anymore, and the matchmaker was also invited out, and the old lady said that she was unlucky.
After this was done, Zhang Lingzhe also came back with the fourth master.
First, it stabilized Zhao Jiarou's heart, and second, it also stabilized Zhang Lingxi's heart.
Zhao Jiarou was willing to wait for him, and he was willing to become an old girl for him, Zhang Lingxi told Zhang Lingzhe not to let Zhao Jiarou down.
It's also funny, Zhao Jiarou is a child in the end, and she actually has the courage to believe Zhang Lingzhe's words. If something happens, I only know to discuss it with them. But if you change someone else, looking at Zhang Lingzhe's milky appearance, you won't believe what he said anymore.
The reason why Zhang Lingzhe wanted to follow the fourth master to run around was not because he wanted to exercise and not let others underestimate him.
Zhang Lingxi didn't know that Aunt Xue also told Zhao Jiarou, saying that Miss Nine was good and smart, so let her have more dealings with her.
In his previous life, Zhang Lingzhe did not marry a wife and have children, so he suffered misfortune. From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Lingxi hopes that he will not have such a hard time in this life, at least have his own family business, and live a good life.
"If you want me to say, leave aside the grudges of your previous life, and Mingzhe to protect yourself and live your own life, isn't it better than others?" Zhang Lingxi persuaded Zhang Lingzhe: "After all, many things happened in the previous life, but they didn't happen in this life, if you are so stubborn, I am worried that good things will become bad things." ”
"Sister Xi, don't worry, I am measured. Once upon a time I was alone, and it didn't matter if I was dead or alive. In this life, my younger brothers and sisters are still there, my mother is still there, and I have to live well for them. What's more, there is Jiarou waiting for me. ”
Zhang Lingzhe is no longer in Zhang's house. He took Aunt Fan to the grange. In exchange, Sister Qing and Brother Yu were raised by Lao An and the old lady respectively.
Usually he takes care of the affairs of the Grange, but this time the fourth master went out to run errands and lacked manpower, so he volunteered to go up.
According to his observations, the merchants who came and went with the fourth master had a lot to do with the Northland. Could it be that it was because of this that the Zhang family was recognized as collaborating with the enemy and treason?
As soon as he told Zhang Lingxi, Zhang Lingxi nodded noncommittally.
Maybe it has something to do with not only those merchants, but also the Fang family. (To be continued.) )
