That night, after dinner, Zhao Hanyan sat in Zhang Xiang's east living room and waited for Zhang Xiang for an hour.

It's just that she didn't see Zhang Xiang come back for a long time, so she had to walk out of the living room and come to the courtyard.

The little slave and the money steward came from not far away, and while the two were talking, the little slave explained to the money housekeeper some of the supplies that needed to be purchased.

After seeing Zhao Hanyan, Steward Qian saluted, and then retired.

"Little slave..."

Zhao Hanyan stopped the little slave who also wanted to leave.

"Princess, do you have any commands?" The little slave's eyes flickered, a pair of small hands entangled with each other, and he was uneasy, and glanced at Zhao Hanyan in a little panic.

Zhao Hanyan didn't pay much attention to it at first, so he asked, "When did the horse go out today?" Why haven't you come back yet? Did he tell you where the past was? Why weren't you with him? ”

When Zhang Xiang was injured before, she would come to visit every day.

But after Zhang Xiang's injury recovered, she only stayed in her west room and rarely came out.

It's just that she heard people say that the colt will go out every day recently, and she is a little worried, so she only came over today, but she didn't see Zhang Xiang either.

Faced with Zhao Hanyan's problem, the little slave was obviously more panicked, and his words were not good: "Slave... Slave... Slaves... Also... I don't know..."

After speaking, the little slave lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhao Hanyan.

She is not good at lying, she has followed Zhao Hanyan for so many years, and she never dared to lie to Zhao Hanyan.

Zhao Hanyan knew her temperament too well, and only then did she find out that something was wrong with her, and her face was very unhappy: "Little slave..."

"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die..."

The little slave was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground.

Zhao Hanyan asked again, "Where did the colt go?" ”

The little slave lowered his head, and then replied honestly: "Donkey, go... I went to Ningxiangju. ”

"Ning Xiangju?" Zhao Hanyan frowned slightly: "It is Ningxiangju, one of the two major green buildings in Pingzhou." ”

The little slave nodded and whispered: "The horse won't let me follow, he said, the girl's family is not easy to go to that kind of place, he made an appointment with a friend." ”

Zhao Hanyan's face gradually returned to calm, and he said to her, "Get up!" ”

"Thank you, princess!" Only then did the little slave get up.

Zhao Hanyan asked again, "When did he go out?" ”

"About four quarters." The little slave hurriedly replied.

"It's been two hours, and I haven't come back yet."

Zhao Hanyan stood quietly for a while, and then said to her, "Go and prepare the car!" ”

"Where is the princess going?"

"Come with me to pick up the pony!"

……

"Jing Xiaosuo, the dangerous building is independent and the sky is clear. moved the mood of sadness, and Song Yu should be the same at that time. The lonely smoke of the fishing market is cold and blue, and the residual leaves of the water village are sad and red. Chu Tiankuo, the waves soak the sun, thousands of miles dissolve.

"Wind. If you want to be beautiful, don't be sad, and calm your eyebrows. It's a pity that back then, the rain was in the clouds. The elegance and grace are harmonious, and the falling flowers and flowing water are suddenly west and east. Boredom and hatred, lovesickness, pay for the ......"

Ning Xiangju, in the boudoir of Qin Elegy, as her elegant singing voice ended, the ethereal piano sound also came to an abrupt end.

Zhang Xiang, who was sitting outside the bead curtain, clapped his hands gently.

Yang Li had been away for a while, and his servant came to him and gave him a letter.

Yang Li shared this letter with Zhang Xiang, and it was written by Liu Qingyin of Yanyu Pavilion.

The approximate content is to invite Yang Li to Yanyu Pavilion.

In this regard, Zhang Xiang also joked with him: It seems that this Liu girl knew about your coming to Ning Xiangju, so she was unhappy and called you over.

At that time, Yang Li smiled freely when he left: "Women, sometimes you can't get too close to her, so that she will always miss you in her heart!" ”

It's okay if Yang Li leaves, so that Zhang Xiang can talk to Qin Elegy alone, anyway, the matter of asking him has already been discussed, and there is no need for him to be present.

After finishing the song, Qin Elegy opened the bead curtain and walked out, and said with a smile to Zhang Xiang: "Ming Heng, how do you see me singing?" ”

"Very good!" Zhang Xiang praised.

In fact, he couldn't appreciate this kind of tune, just now listening to Qin Bang singing, all his attention was in the sound of the qin, compared to this kind of tune that made him feel ink, this guqin sound without any era span fascinated him more.

Just listening to the sound is a pleasure.

Qin Elegy sat down with a smile, poured a glass of wine for him and himself, raised his glass and said: "This poem "Snow Plum Fragrance" is a scholar surnamed Liu wrote back from the capital to a little sister of Ning Xiangju after entering the high school in Beijing. ”

"Someone is willing to redeem the Qinglou women, for them, it's a very lucky thing!" Zhang Xiang said.

Qin Elegy nodded: "Most of the women in Qinglou are women who have been sold in from poor families since childhood, and they must learn to sing, dance, and play the piano and chess...... In short, there are many skills to learn. Then learn to entertain guests, no matter what the mood is, to the guests, you can only smile forever, and if you don't learn well, you will be beaten and scolded, starving, almost many Qinglou women are actually unhappy in their hearts from childhood to adulthood. ”

"For the women of the Qinglou, they are very envious of the women who have free bodies outside, because such women have the right to choose their own future, and they can't, their fate has been formulated by the Qinglou since childhood, and they can only go in this direction, the women of the Qinglou from the age of thirteen to twenty, the best years are dedicated to the entire Qinglou, after the age of twenty, it has almost lost its value, and the Qinglou will no longer be raised, if no one redeems her for her, then she can only be arranged to be sold to others as concubines, That's how it went for a lifetime. ”

"Qinglou women because of their humble status, so most women are also very inferior in their hearts, few of them dare to hope that someone can redeem their bodies, usually receive guests, don't look at the smiling faces, flattery, in fact, they are all for the silver in the guest's pocket, I don't know how to be wary in my heart."

"For the lover, it is even more difficult to count on. The woman of the Qinglou admires the talented scholar very much, such a man is handsome and chic, suave, and extraordinary, such as Yang Gongzi, such as you, are the best among them. Of course, it's just admiration, because they don't think that a man like you will marry them with Qin and Jin, that's a fantasy, and a man like you can occasionally go to them once or twice, and they are already very happy. ”

"But if a man marries a woman in the Qinglou, for this woman, it will be her life's concern, and she will spend her whole life, even her own life, to protect such a concern."

"The Qinglou woman is actually very simple, as long as you treat her sincerely, then she can dedicate everything she has to you, and she will never betray you."

It's been a long time since I came to Ning Xiangju, and Qin Elegy seems to have learned a lot about these Qinglou women, so he will also use this topic to tell Zhang Xiang: "So, Ming Heng, you are right, if someone is willing to redeem a Qinglou woman, then it is sincere, for her, it should be the luckiest thing in her life." ”

Zhang Xiang raised his eyebrows lightly, revealing a silent smile, in fact, he also knew a little more.

Then he asked Qin Elegy: "Then how long has this scholar surnamed Liu been in the capital?" ”

Qin Elegy said: "I heard Ning Xiangju's sisters say that this Liu scholar went to the capital in the spring of March this year, and before that, he had lived in Pingzhou for two months, that is, in these two months, he took away the heart of this little sister. But after that, there was no news when he went to the capital, and then the news of his high school jinshi came, and the little sister was happy for a while, and after that, all the news of this Liu scholar was cut off, until a month ago, this "Xue Meixiang Jing Xiaosuo" was sent from the capital to the hands of this little sister, and the lyricist was this Liu scholar. ”

This surnamed Liu, the means of flirting with the girl are quite clever!

Knowing when to put the bait and when to reel in the line is simply to make a little girl with a budding spring heart want to swing! Keep it in my heart and think about it all the time.

He asked: "Then more than half a year has passed, and this surnamed Liu has never exchanged letters with your little sister Ning Xiangju?" ”

Qin Elegy shook his head: "No, it is precisely because of this that this little sister is often depressed now, what can make her happy, that is, when she thinks of this Liu scholar, she will be happy for a while, most of the time, she is alone in a quiet daze, I have been here for so long, and I have only seen her twice." ”

After listening, Zhang Xiang could only feel sorry for this woman in his heart.

Judging from his experience, this Qinglou woman probably won't wait for this Liu scholar to come back to redeem her......
