Zhang Ci said a word, just waiting to see Chen Qiuniang's shocked and speechless appearance. But he was very disappointed, the girl in front of him was eight or nine years old, her clothes were too old, she was very thin, and her face was also very thin. However, when she listened to his words, her eyes were still shining, her expression was indifferent, and she did not fluctuate in the slightest.

"That's it?" Chen Qiuniang had a look of "you are making a fuss".

"Isn't that a big deal? I've got it all, aren't you surprised? Zhang Ci asked rhetorically, thinking that this girl was too abnormal. Normally, he is so clever and calculating, shouldn't others be shocked by his intelligence and subtlety?

"What's so surprising about that? Look at your men, well-trained, I'm afraid that if you catch a mosquito, you can separate the male and female. How can such a big person not find out. Besides, if it's my father, just ask a villager to ask. Chen Qiuniang asked rhetorically, and carefully analyzed it to Zhang Ci.

Oh, yes. She didn't think that this matter could be hidden from the people of Zhang's mansion, and she had seen that her cousin, Jiang Hang, the old lady, and the sixth lady were all very shrewd, not to mention Zhang Ci, who was already feared by the powerful.

Although, Zhang Ci said "I know everything", she was shocked in her heart, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that although Chen Quanzhong had a secret, he would definitely not say it, otherwise he would have said it long ago when the owner of the gambling house threatened his life. So, she's really calm.

After Chen Qiuniang finished speaking, Zhang Ci was immediately depressed. Before she came, he had been imagining how shocked she would be when she heard the news. But now they are indifferent, as if they don't matter.

"You're unfilial. Aren't you afraid that others will have an opinion of you? Zhang Ci thought about it again and again, and asked very reluctantly.

"I dare to do it. I'm not afraid of the crowd, I just live freely. Chen Qiuniang replied. I thought that your Zhang Ci's words might scare the little girl, but unfortunately I didn't care about other people's opinions since I was a child.

"It's very difficult to marry if you are not filial." Zhang Ci still didn't give up, and even used threatening words. He remembered his sisters, as well as the daughters of Bianjing's world friends, who were very nervous when they heard that a certain behavior would be difficult to marry.

"If it's not easy to marry, don't marry." Chen Qiuniang didn't think there was anything to be afraid of. In the past thirty years, she has seen too many people say forever, and when she turns around, she smiles at the new face and says that she will never give up; I have also seen that even if they fell in love at the beginning of the period, they later made the years fade away, and they made a lot of trouble, and finally hated each other.

"Childish words. In the future, you will know how miserable it is not to be married. Zhang Ci deliberately accentuated his tone, thinking: I have to make you nervous today.

Chen Qiuniang moved her steps, pulled a stool and sat down very familiarly, beat the leg that had been bitten by the snake before, and said: "There is no food, no freedom, no dignity, and watching your relatives suffer but have no ability, and do nothing for a lifetime, that is called misery." Compared to these, is it miserable not to be able to marry someone? Second son. ”

The nine-year-old girl spoke to him in an old-fashioned tone, and her expression was clearly still saying, "You are too young, too gentlemanly, and too ignorant of the people's suffering." Zhang Ci suddenly became even more aggrieved and depressed. He wanted to ask "Aren't you young, how many years older than me", but he felt that it was too much to ask, and it would make this girl laugh.

However, why did he still think that what this girl said seemed to be very reasonable, he couldn't refute it. Zhang Ci just lay on his side on the bed, so depressed that he couldn't speak.

Chen Qiuniang looked at Zhang Ci like that, and she also understood in her heart that the guy wanted to see her shocked appearance when she was scared, but now she didn't see it, and she was refuted several times, and she was depressed.

No matter how powerful the boy is, he has a glass heart. In the past, even if Dai Yuanqing had a good temper, he didn't like to be refuted by others. What's more, the one in front of him is said to have a bad temper and is still young. It is estimated that it is the best in the heart of glass, and it can't stand the slightest setback.

Chen Qiuniang saw his thoughts in this back-and-forth conversation, so she broke the silence, changed the topic, and asked, "Second son, do you have anything else to order?" If not, please give me back my ring, I'm going home to work. ”

When Zhang Ci heard this, he immediately understood how stupid he was, this girl has a fiancé, and she must not worry about getting married, no wonder people are not afraid.

"You borrowed my person to beat your father, this is an unfilial act, aren't you afraid that your fiancé will know and withdraw from the marriage?" Zhang Ci was still paranoid about making Chen Qiuniang afraid of being nervous, and felt that he had found the right weakness this time.

But the situation he expected did not appear, Chen Qiuniang looked leisurely, and said very calmly: "Oh, I can't ask for it, sit back and wait for the divorce." Then I'm still at ease, and I have a bright future. ”

Pretended, definitely pretended. He remembered that when he was in Bianjing, Zhao Defang had a distant cousin, who was not ugly, as long as he heard that something would affect his marriage, it was like a great enemy. No matter how big the cousin in the family is, she looks forward to everything, for fear that she will damage her image, make her husband's family look down on her, and be dismissed from the marriage.

Pretended, absolutely banged. Zhang Ci concluded like this, so he took a closer look at Chen Qiuniang's expression, and there was indeed no trace of concealment when he looked left and right.

"Second son, what's wrong?" Chen Qiuniang looked at him left and right, thinking that he hadn't groomed well, or that something was wrong, so she also looked around.

Zhang Ci only thought that she was good at acting and pretending to be too realistic, so he smiled and said, "You are smart." ”

"Thank you, it's not the first time that the second son has said it." Chen Qiuniang felt that this was inexplicable, how could she praise her again. This man's thinking seems to be very jumpy, and he has to be sensitive enough to talk to him.

"I almost fooled you, your acting skills are not bad." Zhang Ci continued with a smug look on his face.

When Chen Qiuniang heard this, she immediately understood that the guy had not yet been entangled in the previous matter, and was still obsessed with his judgment. said helplessly: "I have never deceived the second son, you have wronged what you said." ”

Zhang Ci glanced at her, and said with a look of disbelief: "You have long been praying in your heart that I will not sue your fiancé, and worship all the gods and demons of the heavens, so that they can bless you to marry out!" ”

"Second son, you really misunderstood. When I speak to you, everything comes from the bottom of my heart and from my heart. Chen Qiuniang said very seriously, thinking that this person is really stubborn and childish and persistent, and he can only be satisfied if she shows her timidity.

Zhang Ci glanced at her, but there was a smile on his face, and he suddenly realized, and said, "I know." You're using this particular method to attract me. Don't say that you have a marriage contract, even if you don't have a marriage contract, you have to be a fragrant girl in my study. The premise is, I think you're pretty good-looking and funny. ”

He is not wrong in what he said, although this country girl, although she has a good look and is also smart, but under the rules of Zhang's mansion to marry a wife, she is just a life of a maid in a room. He was able to let her go to the study to add fragrance to read, which was a very high favor for her.

When Chen Qiuniang heard this, she immediately hid her face and laughed, this man is too narcissistic. If you have a good skin and a good ancestor, you feel that all the women in the world will cry and shout and climb on his bed (this word should be harmonious, you know), and wait for the blessing with their eyes.

Chen Qiuniang laughed for a while, pretending to ignore Zhang Ci's increasingly gloomy look, and said earnestly: "Second son, you really think too much. That's not the meaning of my life. ”

Zhang Ci's face was gloomy, his eyebrows were raised, and he said, "Pretend, continue to pretend." Your tricks and methods to attract me are really low-end. What haven't I seen? If you want to be really temperamental, rush to you to move the rescuers, and I will really accept you. Or, if you admit your mistake and confess now, I can consider accepting you. What do you think? ”

Chen Qiuniang suddenly understood Zhang Ci's psychology: how could a son like him with superior conditions endure a nine-year-old country girl who doesn't like him and doesn't want to marry him. And her heartfelt words have been seen by this macho and narcissistic fellow as a conspiracy to attract his ideas.

She thought it was funny, so she shook her head and said, "You're really too worried." I have no interest in pleasing dependent men and living on them. I am even more lazy to go to the inner house of a wealthy family to fight with a group of shallow old ladies. I have no dignity, and I am tired and panicked. I want to live, and I want to live with dignity. ”

After she said this, Zhang Ci lowered her eyes and was silent for a long time, her black hair was scattered on the blue futon, and her casual movements were all young**. Chen Qiuniang sat on the stool next to his bed, letting the warm breeze flow through the room.

The house was silent, and the surroundings were quiet, so I could hear Liu Chengren arguing with people in the courtyard, and his voice was very small and indistinct. Chen Qiuniang was attracted by the voice, so she pricked up her ears in a vain attempt to hear clearly, but she only heard the words of the fragment, such as "Jingliang", "flowering" and "herbs". After that, the human language became smaller, and I could no longer hear a word. She only regarded it as an academic argument with Jing Liang, after all, Liu Cheng was obsessed with medical skills, and Jing Liang was also excellent in medical skills.

When she came back to her senses, Zhang Ci moved her posture, her long eyelashes moved slightly, she opened her eyes, her eyes shimmered, and she chuckled, and said, "Qiu Niang, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to talk to me about life and ambitions." ”

Chen Qiuniang only felt that the person in front of her was no longer the one just now. The young man just now was angry, and the boy's stubbornness and paranoia. And now this kind of Zhang Ci is so elegant that people are a little drunk, and even the voice is just right, which makes his heart tremble.

"Oh, that's just a joke. I'm a country girl, and knowing a few words is also used to recognize a name. Chen Qiuniang replied, her tone was a little panicked. This qiē was really out of her control, she originally thought that he would stay here for a few more days, so she would find the ingredients herself, make wonderful food for him to taste, and then talk about her plan.

"It's not like you." Zhang Ci shook his head.

"We've only met a few times, how do you know it's not like me?" Chen Qiuniang asked rhetorically. She was still wondering how to tell him about her ambitions. After all, doing business was not a glorious thing in ancient times, and it was the last class.

"I know people very well." Zhang Ci's tone was calm, his eyes were projected, and the corners of his lips hooked up a confident smile.

"A man stumbles, a horse stumbles." Chen Qiuniang retorted, and suddenly felt that she didn't look like herself anymore. In the past, she categorically would not refute it like this, and she would definitely not be so uncalm and exposed. She has always believed that if you say too much, you will lose, and she is too lazy to speak until she has to. But somehow, after arriving on this plane, she became less like herself. Maybe it's because it's mixed with the memories of Chen Qiuniang, maybe those bitter memories are too pressing, and she wants to set things right and get out of the current predicament.

She lost her mind slightly, but she heard Zhang Ci "hiss". She looked up and saw that he was in pain and gritted his teeth, probably because he had changed his position just now and accidentally pulled the wound.

"Is it pulling the wound? I'm going to find a doctor and come in. Chen Qiuniang asked with concern. She didn't want this gentleman's injury to happen again, and then the Zhang family made her a suspect again.

He shook his head, relieved himself for a while, and then asked, "Qiu Niang, you say, what are your ambitions?" ”

"This—" Chen Qiuniang felt that he was asking too directly, and she didn't know how to say it to him concisely.

"When you came, I saw them packing up, and in an hour I will go back." Zhang Ci whispered, as if to imply that she didn't have much time, and she could say whatever she wanted to say.

"I heard what Jiang Gongzi said." Chen Qiuniang responded. Thinking about how to tell him about opening a restaurant, he can also make him interested in joining, after all, being in business is not a lofty ambition.

Zhang Ci didn't say anything, just looked at her. Chen Qiuniang avoided his gaze, lowered her eyes, and heard him exhale, as if he was talking to herself and asking her: "Are you really only nine years old?" ”

"Yes." Chen Qiuniang replied, and asked rhetorically, "Is the son only fourteen or fifteen years old?" ”

Zhang Ci smiled, said in a gentle tone, "You will draw inferences." Tell me, what your ambitions are, I'd like to hear it. ”

Chen Qiuniang looked at him seriously and said, "The ambition of a country girl is just to be well fed and clothed. ”

"You didn't say that to my grandmother." Zhang Ci glanced at her, snorted coldly and said, "The prosperous world is peaceful, eat and drink enough." That's a big ambition. ”

"It's a big ambition, isn't it?" Chen Qiuniang knew that Zhang Ci had misunderstood the same as his grandmother, so she didn't defend herself, she just asked with an innocent smile, and then she didn't wait for Zhang Ci to answer, so she said directly, "I want to be able to earn a lot of money in the peaceful and prosperous world, rely on my own struggle, live with dignity, and eat and drink enough." I think it's a big ambition. ”

Sure enough, when Zhang Ci heard her say this, he fell into deep thought, and those eyes seemed to see her through.

"That's a lot of ambition, isn't it?" Chen Qiuniang asked innocently, but she was happy in her heart: Let you think you are smart, you didn't guess right this time, right? What does it matter to me that the prosperity is peaceful, it is a matter that the family and military affairs worry about. I just want to have some money, a little career that matches my interests, and then I am obsessed with the study of food in this ancient world of good ingredients.

"It's huge." Zhang Ci popped out two words from his teeth.

"I think so too." Chen Qiuniang said happily.

"And how are you going to fight?" Zhang Ci asked distrustfully. He really didn't believe that this nine-year-old girl would have any way to make a lot of money, and besides, business was a lowly thing, what kind of ambition was it? In addition, doing business in this troubled era is simply a fool's dream.

"I have my own plan." Chen Qiuniang said. I thought that if he asked, it would be okay to tell him. This man came from a prominent family, and categorically disdained to engage in business himself. If you take his plan and let someone else do it, then those people have to have that level.

But Zhang Ci didn't ask about her plan, but suddenly changed his face, and said coldly: "Instead of thinking about it like this, it is better to say that you really have ideas, maybe this son really thinks about accepting you into Zhang's mansion." ”

I went, it turned out that after talking for so long, he still had the same opinion as before, thinking that every step she took was a lie, a means to attract his attention. This man is really too narcissistic, alas, unsaved, and unable to change his views. It seems that cooperating with Zhang Ci is very slim, and his plan has to be down-to-earth step by step.

Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said, "Gongzi Zhang, give me back the ring, I don't bother to say anything to people who look at me with a biased eye." ”

"Do you think that by saying this, you will be able to provoke me to keep the jade ring, so that you will have a reason to attract my attention?" Zhang Ci snorted coldly, spread out his hand and threw the jade ring into the tray of white cloth on the table.

It's so narcissistic! This person couldn't communicate, and Chen Qiuniang suddenly felt that she had looked up to him before. She also didn't say anything like "you're afraid of being attracted to me" to continue the boring battle of moods. Just got up and held the jade ring in his hand, and heard Zhang Ci say again: "You go and deliver a letter, my Zhang Mansion will not treat you badly." Later, someone will give you money. From now on, don't worry about it anymore, I'm not something you can get, and your means are too low. ”

How did this person start to be annoying. Sure enough, he was still too narcissistic, too young, and too short-sighted.

"You go." Zhang Ci saw that she didn't speak, so he dropped such a sentence.

In the end, he was too naïve and overestimated the suzhì of this ancient century-old family. Chen Qiuniang sighed, then turned around and walked outside the house.

"My son warns you again, don't be careful, do anything again, and annoy people in vain." Zhang Ci said coldly.

Chen Qiuniang glanced back at him, didn't bother to say a word, and went straight out of the room. As soon as I left the room, I heard the sound of plates falling to the ground and ping pong.

"It seems that he is very angry. You're good. The young man in blue leaning on the table with a teacup outside the room said.

"He asked for himself, what does it matter to me, don't blame people." Chen Qiuniang's tone was not good, she was too lazy to deal with these people, so she said straight to the point, "The silver that your second son promised me, you remember to send it over quickly." I went back. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was another ping-pong sound in the room, as if some utensil had been knocked over. Chen Qiuniang glanced at the young man in blue and said, "You go and take a look, otherwise you will be angry, and you will rely on me." ”

"Hey, I want to know, why are you angry with him?" The young man in blue was indifferent to Chen Qiuniang's construction, and actually gossiped.

"You ask him to go." Chen Qiuniang lowered her eyes, thinking that if Chen Quanzhong's injury was not severe, she should come back at night.

"His temper will not be said to death. You should sue me. The young man in blue shrugged.

"Want to know? It's up to you to be sincere. Chen Qiuniang spread her hands, anyway, there is no hope for her to cooperate with the Zhang family this time, if she can make a little more money, her younger brothers and sisters will eat better. She is not afraid of what others think of her.

The young man in blue shook his head and said with a sigh: "At a young age, he is full of gangsterism." In other words, there is a fee. No wonder he said you're funny, you're just a raccoon dog. ”

"No sincerity, less nonsense, I'll go back." Chen Qiuniang walked straight across the hall, walked into the courtyard, and walked home.

The young man in blue shouted "Hey", and before he could say the next sentence, he heard a woman's panicked voice: "Doctor Liu, Doctor Liu, come and see my brother, his wound is cracked." ”

hurt Chen Qiuniang's footsteps, but she just scolded in a low voice, "You don't restrain your temper if you are seriously injured, you deserve it", and went straight home.

(In the past two days, the baby has been crying a little and is not very comfortable, so there was no update last night, thank you for your understanding and support)
