Chapter 16: Father and Daughter Talk
The moment he saw the figure, Li Zhi suddenly became stunned.
"Really.. It's like.." Li Zhi muttered, his face full of nostalgia.
At this time, Zhang Qingci's long hair had been scattered and fluttered in the breeze, and there was a slight frost on his slightly drunken face.
"Li Zhi, are you spying on me outside?" Zhang Qingci asked with a heartfelt question.
Li Zhi was stunned, isn't this my room? Outside of your room is still said to be a voyeur? There is no reason for this.
"It's... This.. It's not mine... Forget it.." Li Zhi tried in vain to be reasonable.
Li Zhi knows that don't reason with women, and the master said that "only women and villains are difficult to raise". Confucius read poetry and books, could lobby the world, traveled around the world, reasoned for the people of the world, opened the style of Confucianism, and established a thousand autumn tables, but he didn't reason with women, but it wasn't that he couldn't be reasonable, he couldn't speak. If you want to reason with a woman, you have to go deeper than the old master's way. Do you have one? Li Zhi thought that he was still inferior, so he stopped talking and buried his head, like a resentful woman.
Zhang Qingci saw that Li Zhi was suddenly depressed, a little flustered, he actually regretted it after running out that day, but he thought that his identity was not worthy of Li Zhi, so he wanted to leave and never come back, but halfway he met his father Zhang Zizhong, who was returning to Anxi City after finishing his errands, and his father asked him why.
Zhang Zizhong was also helpless after listening to it, he couldn't see his daughter's thoughts, from the beginning to follow to Suzhou Province, and then to leave the gambling house with Li Zhi, but as a father and as a subordinate, he didn't dare to say too much, and his complicated heart made him force himself not to care, not to think, just let this relationship not be broken.
But I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, I just came back from Anxi City to do something, and this kind of thing happened, helplessly, out of a father's position, Zhang Zizhong had no choice but to say: "Qingci, father respects your choice, but at the same time, my father doesn't want to lose you, if you really have a good impression of His Royal Highness King Xin, even if your father pulls down this old face, he will definitely plead for you from the noble concubine, to see if you can make a side room for His Royal Highness King Xin." Saying that, Zhang Zizhong shouted tears helplessly from the corners of his eyes.
If you can, who wants your daughter to be a concubine, even if it is a prince, Zhang Zizhong is not a greedy person, otherwise with the high position of the butler of Thaksin's palace, wouldn't it be easy to be greedy for ink on weekdays?
Gao Guifei is Li Zhi's biological mother, named Gao Lan, Zhang Zizhong grew up in Gao Mansion since he was a child, and the Gao family was also the founding father of the Great Xia Dynasty, a big family, Zhang Zizhong followed the six-year-old Gao Lan at the age of eleven, and Gao Lan at the age of twenty-two entered the palace at the age of seventeen, and five years later Zhang Zizhong took his daughter to protect Li Zhi at the young Li Zhi, Zhang Zizhong was twenty-seven years old.
After Li Zhi slowly opened his house, Zhang Zizhong has been taking his daughter to serve as a housekeeper, diligent, of course, it can also be said that Li Zhi is a childhood sweetheart who grew up with Zhang Qingci, and now he learns that his daughter is really moved by Li Zhi, and the tears rolling in the corners of Zhang Zizhong's eyes can't help but fall.
Seeing his father crying, Zhang Qingci wept and said, "Father, no... The daughter doesn't have a good impression of him.. He is extremely bored and arrogant, and he has so many vices like gambling, how can his daughter have a good impression of him... No.. Woo..."
"For the father to know your character, Qing Ci, if you really like Your Highness, then you should boldly pursue your love, you have grown up with Your Highness since you were a child, he is also very good to you, you don't have to think about what is worthy of the question, or that sentence, even if the father lets go of this old face, he will beg the noble concubine... Hey.."
"Qingci, about your mother, my father has never told you..."
"Father, mother is not. Go.. Is it alive? ”
"Should... No," Zhang Zizhong was also a little unsure and said: "Your mother was forced to leave our grandfather because of such a gateway view, I grew up in Gaofu since I was a child, and then followed the concubine Niangniang, who has a very good close friend who is the fourth daughter of the Sun family in the capital... Sun Xue" said that Zhang Zizhong's eyes had a different color, full of longing.
"Every time the concubine Niangniang goes out or has a party, I always go together to protect the safety of the concubine, of course, I often meet Xue'er, but she is constrained by the rules of the clan and cannot go out of the boudoir, so she is very yearning for the prosperity outside."
"Niangniang often asked me to quietly take her out of the Sun Mansion and go out for a walk, but after a long time, I had a relationship with her when the two of us were alone, and she didn't look down on me because I was a subordinate, and I was the same as you at the beginning, with low self-esteem, and felt that my identity was all kinds of sin, but I still overcame my inferiority complex, and in the end I had you." Saying that, Zhang Zizhong had an innocent smile like a child on his face.
Suddenly his face changed and he said: "But the good times didn't last long, as the belly got bigger, I was discovered by the Sun family, and I knew about it under strict investigation, and then I felt that my identity was not worthy of Xue'er's life experience, and I went to Gaofu several times to warn, if it wasn't for the concubine Niangniang's intercession, I would have been expelled from Gaofu, the Sun family is not only like this, but also took advantage of the salt transportation in Haizhejiang Province to collude with officials to put me to death, and detained me on a trumped-up charge, but fortunately, the concubine Niangniang pleaded with His Majesty to save my life, and later, after you were born, the Sun family originally wanted to bury you alive, Fortunately, the maid who Xue'er has followed for many years risked death to send you to the high mansion... Later, the maid was also scolded to death by Sun's staff... And Xue'er has not been heard from so far, and there is no news about her..."
"So, Qingci, I think you don't have the rest of your life without regrets, boldly pursue your love, His Royal Highness King Xin is not like Xue'er, he has his own dictatorship... I don't want to see you like I do." After saying that, the huge man cried like a child. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Zhang Zizhong is a more enlightened father in this era.
After hearing this, Zhang Qingci was stunned, since he was a child, he heard that his mother died because of childbirth, and he blamed himself several times, thinking that he was a broom star, but he didn't expect that his mother might still be alive, and he couldn't hold back the tears like beans in his eyes anymore.
Zhang Qingci secretly swore that he would one day go to Sun's Mansion to see what happened to his mother....
After that, Zhang Zizhong chatted with Zhang Qingci for a long time, the first time between father and daughter so heart-to-heart chat, Zhang Qingci changed his attention, turned the horse's head, and returned to the Xinwang Mansion, she wanted to have a showdown with Li Zhi, to pursue her own happiness, but when she went back, she found that Li Zhi was not there, and after waiting for an afternoon, she felt uncomfortable and because she had been running outside for a day, she fetched water and planned to take a bath.
As a result, not long after washing, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, and the panicked Zhang Qingci got dressed and hurriedly came out, which was the beginning of the scene.
Even if I thought about it a lot in my heart, brewed it for a long time, and practiced it thousands of times, when I really saw Li Zhi, Zhang Qingci suddenly didn't know what to say...
