Drunken Dream Building again
Aunt Fang only thought that Xia Qing would give her a head, but she didn't know that Old Madam Xia would press him with the matter of renewing Xia Qing's strings.
When she cried to Xia Qing again, Xia Qing only asked her to endure it for the time being, and not to have a conflict with the old lady.
Of course, Aunt Fang was unhappy in her heart, but she still pretended to be a virtuous and well-behaved person. Just gritted her teeth secretly, she wouldn't let this breath go in vain!
When Zhiyun was still thinking about how to find a chance to go to Zuimenglou, he received a letter, which was signed by Wang Yingrong, and the letter blamed her for not going to play with her, she was almost bored to death.
Zhiyun is funny, this is just like dozing off someone to send a pillow, it doesn't take any effort to come, she replied and said that she would go to play with her tomorrow and let her wait for her.
Wang Yingrong received Zhiyun's reply here, and she was very happy, so she took the letter and went to talk to Mrs. Wang happily that Zhiyun would come to the house tomorrow as a guest.
Mrs. Wang had also seen Zhiyun at the palace banquet before, and she also liked the down-and-out and generous girl, but seeing that her daughter had ink on her face because of writing a letter, she couldn't help but nod Wang Yingrong's head with her hand, and said, "You, you!" When you are a scholar, after being so naughty, your father and I are afraid that you will not find a good husband's family, then you can go to the mountains to be a nun! ”
Wang Yingrong was startled, and then threw herself into Mrs. Wang's arms, and the ink rubbed all over Mrs. Wang's clothes, Mrs. Wang was so angry that she wanted to beat her with a feather duster, she quickly stood up and ran away, muttering in her mouth: "I'm not a nun!" ”
Early the next morning, Zhiyun got up early to dress up and change clothes, with Wang Yingrong's post, Mrs. Xia would not let her go, so she asked her to go early and return early to bring a few more guards, I heard that Yan Jing has not been peaceful recently.
She obediently answered "yes" and left the Xia family with Bi Tao.
The carriage soon came to the Ministry of Works' Mansion. Wang Yingrong also came out early to wait for her at the door.
Seeing Zhiyun, she was more excited than anyone else, rushed up and hugged Zhiyun, and kept saying: "You are here, you don't know that my mother wants me to go up the mountain to be a nun......"
Zhiyun couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing what she said, and sighed that this Miss Wang family had a simple and lovely personality. The family of a person who can raise such a character must also be very well-educated.
She went with Wang Yingrong to meet Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang took her hand and praised her, only saying, "If only Yingrong was half as well-behaved as you." ”
She was noncommittal, she actually thought in her heart that it would be good if her home had such a half of people who felt comfortable, but she didn't, so she didn't have the character of Wang Yingrong, and she no longer loved her family, and even had an indifferent attitude towards other relatives except Xia Rou, her heart was already cold, and no one's heart could recover after experiencing betrayal.
Wang Yingrong took her to visit her boudoir, about the girls will always visit their boudoirs first, Wang Yingrong's room is also very cute. Wang Yingrong pulled Zhiyun and walked to the dresser, she asked Zhiyun to sit down, and picked and chose in the jewelry box again.
She picked a peony filigree golden hairpin, directly to Zhiyun's head, she said: "You are too plain, you see what I like here, take it, my mother said that girls should dress up more, I think this hairpin is very good for you." ”
Zhiyun was not good at suddenly accepting the salute, and wanted to take it down, but was stopped by Wang Yingrong, "If you take it down, you won't treat me as a friend." ”
She smiled and couldn't postpone it any longer, thinking that it would be good to give Wang Yingrong a gift next time.
The two quickly opened the conversation, although Wang Yingrong was chattering endlessly, but Zhiyun listened carefully, and sometimes took a few words.
Bi Tao quickly became acquainted with the big girl Chunhua next to Wang Yingrong, and Wang Yingrong asked them to play by themselves, so as not to disturb the "two-person world" between her and Zhiyun. The two little girls also went down to play with interest.
"Wan Yun," Wang Yingrong called her, and showed an evil smile, Zhi Wan only felt that her smile was a little strange, so she heard Wang Yingrong suppress her voice and whispered: "Which man in Yan Jing City do you think is the best-looking?" ”
Probably the women in the boudoir like to talk quietly about the appearance and literary style of the man with their good friends, but Wang Yingrong's mysterious appearance made Zhiyun a little unnatural, and when she heard this question, what came to her mind was Xiao Huaichen, His Royal Highness King Qin, who was wearing a silver mask.
In terms of appearance, Xiao Huaichen is indeed not inferior to anyone in this regard, and his natural nobility also makes people feel as if he should not be born in the mortal world. It's just that Zhiyun thinks that this person is probably against himself, and he almost lost his life when he met twice, so he is really a dangerous person.
She didn't answer this question, but asked Wang Yingrong: "What do you think?" ”
Wang Yingrong seemed to think about it, rolled her eyes, and said: "Others say that King Qin has a good demeanor, but I think that such a person is too sharp, and his appearance is indeed one top and one good, but I don't like it very much." The original champion is also good-looking, and the son of the Tobe Shangshu is also born well, and it is okay to have a little general outside the palace gate, and there is ........."
Next, Wang Yingrong listed a series of people, some knew what she knew and some she didn't know, just mentioning Xiao Huaichen, but she didn't expect Wang Yingrong to think differently from other boudoir women, she asked: "Then what do you like?" ”
"I like my dad like that!" Wang Yingrong said without thinking about it, "In the future, my husband will also want my father to treat me as well as my mother, so I like him." Wang Yingrong said it as a matter of course.
Zhiyun laughed at her: "It turns out that you are Sichun thinking about getting married." As he spoke, he tickled her.
Wang Yingrong was itched, and begged for mercy: "You can spare me, spare me." ”
The two laughed. At noon, Zhiyun was about to leave, but Mrs. Wang was so gracious that she insisted that she leave after lunch, and she couldn't refuse, so she left the palace after eating in the palace.
On the way back, Zhiyun said that he wanted to go to a jewelry pavilion, so he did not rush back to Xia's house, but asked the coachman to drive to the jewelry pavilion that Zhiyun said, Bi Tao gave the coachman and a few entourage of Xiafu guards a few dollars, and asked them to go to the opposite teahouse to drink some tea to cool off, saying that the young lady would go to the second floor to see the fabric for a longer time after shopping for jewelry, so let them go to eat tea and wait.
Several people did not suspect him, happily took the money, and watched Zhiyun go in and go to the opposite side for tea.
Zhiyun and Bi Tao did enter the Jewelry Pavilion, but they slipped out the back door and came to a street that was not unfamiliar.
The Drunken Dream Building is not far from the long street, and Zhiyun has long known that the back door of this jewelry pavilion is not far from the Drunken Dream Building, so he proposed to come here.
But today both of them were dressed as women, and it was inevitable that it would not be good to go in with a loud bang, so they put on their hats and veils one after another.
During the day, there was no business in Zuimenglou, so after the two of them went in, it was not the bustard who received them, but an older woman. She looked at Zhiyun and the others in surprise, but soon realized that it was not uncommon for a woman to come to look for her husband in the flower building, and even she didn't think it was strange.
"Who are you looking for?" Xiaohong asked, yawning.
Zhiyun stepped forward and said, "Find Miss Qingqiu." ”
Xiaohong said strangely: "What are you looking for Qingqiu, she hasn't had any guests recently." ”
Zhiyun heard her say this, and knew in his heart that this person might have regarded her as a complaining woman who had come to catch adultery.
"Yes, I just came to her." Zhiyun affirmed.
"This girl, it's unfortunate that our Qingqiu hasn't been in good health recently, I'm afraid I won't be able to play the piano." Little Red became impatient.
Zhiyun took out a piece of silver and handed it over, "Girl, be accommodating, I have something to deal with with her." ”
Xiaohong's eyes lit up when she saw the ingot of silver, and the sleepiness she had just now disappeared, and she changed to a flattering look.
"Okay, I don't think the girl is a person who wants to make trouble, so don't stay too long." As he spoke, he led Zhiyun to find Qingqiu.
Since the last time there was an assassin in the fire in the Zuimenglou, the people from the government sent to investigate for many days but there was no result, but a group of officers and soldiers always came here, and the business that made the people here worry day by day could not be done. Zhiyun looked at the traces left by the fire on the walls, as well as the window where she and Xiao Huaichen escaped together. Thinking that she and Xiao Huaichen were forced to hide under the bed that time, she felt ashamed and quickened her pace.
When she came to Qingqiu's house, Xiaohong didn't knock on the door, and directly pushed open the door and let Zhiyun in. Then he left the room himself.
Zhiyun saw a person lying on the bed, she walked over to Qingqiu's bed and looked, Qingqiu still had her eyes closed, her face was pale, and she didn't look good. It is completely different from the previous temperament, showing fragility and morbidity.
"Qingqiu," she called, "won't they call you a doctor?" ”
Qingqiu heard the voice and slowly turned his head, Zhiyun had already taken off the hat, and when he saw the face of the person who came, Qingqiu didn't seem to be much surprised, but smiled and called twice: "Childe is here." ”
Then he shook his head and said, "No, the girl is here." ”
Zhiyun nodded, "Have you been sick for a long time?" ”
A reluctant smile appeared on Qingqiu's pale face, and she said, "With my identity, if I die, I will only have a straw mat, and no one will care." There was desperation in her eyes.
"No, you can't die and you can't die, because there are still people in this world who care about you. Although I didn't mention the story I told you last time, there is one thing I think you won't forget. As she spoke, she took out the mandarin duck jade pendant.
When Qingqiu saw the jade pendant, the despair in her eyes froze, and then it seemed that a fire of hope came out, but it was quickly extinguished again, but she still couldn't help but be surprised, and asked Zhiyun: "What does this mean, girl?" ”
