From the outside of the house, Zhang's mansion is not magnificent. And the whole house is in the Muslim style. It is one with the surrounding houses. If it weren't for the plaque of the most common mansion in the Central Plains hanging in front of the door, Li Chengji really wouldn't have seen it.

At this time, Zhang Zhiqin couldn't care about showing up. With Xiao Cui's support, he hurried to the door of Zhang's mansion. Li Dayi also stepped forward and knocked on the door so that someone could welcome them in.

"Who are you?" , a doorman stuck out most of his head from the inside, half-covered the door, and said loudly.

"Go and call your master to come over, and say that Miss Seven has returned home." , Li Dayi said in a commanding tone.

When the boy heard this, his eyes purred, and he refused: "There are only eldest misses, second misses, and fifth ladies in Zhangfu, and I have never heard of a seventh miss." ”。

"Huh! You little hairy boy, you just entered Zhang's Mansion, right? I don't even recognize a few young ladies in my own house. ”

Xiao Cui also hurriedly said: "I am Miss Seven's personal girl!" Zhang's Mansion moved here in the old years, right? When Miss Seven received the master's letter, she hurried from Balasagon to Puhua. It's just that there were a lot of twists and turns on the road, and it was delayed for some time. ”。

"Huh?! A few years ago, Uncle Zhang seemed to have said that a young lady was coming. But somehow, there has been no news. For this matter, I went to report to the official. ”。 The boy scratched the back of his head, as if he remembered something.

"Why don't you let us in?!" , Li Dayi saw that this boy refuted himself in front of everyone, lost face, and immediately urged angrily.

"No! Uncle Zhang said. Zhang's Mansion is not an ordinary place, and you can't let everyone in. ”

"Why don't you invite Uncle Zhang over? He knows me and knows who I am. Zhang Zhiqin didn't want to be blocked here, so she suggested. Uncle Zhang is a house slave who worked for Zhang's family on behalf of his ancestors, and he is very valued by the Zhang family. Usually, the big and small matters of Zhang's Mansion are handled by Uncle Zhang. So even Zhang Zhiqin must respect him as Uncle Zhang.

When the boy heard this, he snapped, closed the door and called for someone to go.

"Haha, since your father won't let you enter the mansion, why don't you go back with me?" , Li Chengji saw that Zhang Zhiqin was blocked for a while, and leaned over and laughed.

"Humph!" , Zhang Zhiqin snorted, still using her usual ignorance to deal with it.

Li Chengji was used to it, smiled happily, and continued to joke.

At this time, the door of Zhang's mansion was opened again. I saw an old man with half a hundred hair, leaning out half of his body.

"Seven-Seven?" When the old man saw Zhang Zhiqin's appearance, he was surprised and delighted. I was so excited that I couldn't even speak.

"Uncle Zhang!" , Zhang Zhiqin's expression was slightly moved, and she called softly.

"The lord and the third lady have been looking forward to the news of the young lady for a long time."

"It's the daughter's unfilial piety, which makes my father and mother worry a lot." , Zhang Zhiqin faintly with tears.

Uncle Zhang reacted and hurriedly welcomed Zhang Zhiqin into the house. Li Chengji and others also followed the situation.

When you come to the flower hall where you will receive guests, the carpet of Faris (Iranian province of Fars) is spread on the floor. It is embroidered with delicate botanical patterns, and the corners are circled with the wool of Huzestan. The seats are also covered with Armenian covers, made of striped silk from Baghdad.

The windows are inlaid with glass shipped from Syria, which is both thin and transparent. Because of frequent wiping, you can see the prayer hall facing west to east not far from the window sill. It is said that this pilgrimage is carried out in front of the Kaaba in the holy city of Mecca.

Three or five glazed colored glass lanterns with inscriptions hang by the eaves of the prayer room. In the sun, it reflects a beautiful luster.

The walls are inlaid with indigo hexagonal tiles from Damascus and depicted with brightly coloured flowers. Silver platters filled with oranges, oranges, mandarins, dates, apples, grapes, pomegranates, watermelons, and other fruits are placed on a log table. Li Chengji was a little thirsty, so he picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it in a big gulp.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. I saw Zhang Timing, who was wearing Hui clothes and a felt hat, leading a beautiful woman in Hanfu, and hurried over.

"Jean! Jean! Before the people arrived, the cry was heard.

Zhang Zhiqin immediately couldn't sit still, got up and rushed out of the door.

"Daddy! Mother! Zhang Zhiqin had tears in her eyes, and Ying Ying knelt down and bowed.

"Hey! Hurry up! Hurry up! Zhang Timing obviously hurt Zhang Zhiqin very much, and hurriedly held Zhang Zhiqin's wrist and urged her to get up. The beautiful woman on the side also cried silently while supporting her: "The old old man sent a letter to urge you to come over." But when it came to the New Year's Festival, there was no news. As a mother, I'm really afraid that you have three long and two short. ”。

"The watchman in the capital said, you have set off at the beginning of autumn, why haven't you heard from you for months? I asked someone to look for it, but there was no clue. Zhang Timing also said suspiciously.

Zhang Zhiqin immediately remembered the grievances of being captured by the bandits, choked up, and was about to speak, when her tears were like beads with broken threads, falling straight down.

Seeing this, Zhang Timing couldn't ask anymore. hurriedly helped Zhang Zhiqin into it, and spoke later.

It's just that Li Chengji, who was eating watermelon, instantly turned cold.

"Li Yizhi?!" , Zhang Timing was shocked and angry.

Li Chengji seemed to be unconscious, and smiled warmly: "Lord Zhang! I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed! ”。

"Humph! It's you! looked at Zhang Zhiqin again, thinking that it was Li Chengji's trouble, so that Zhang Zhiqin was not heard from for several months. He was furious and said: "Xinglu has been exiled to Darinkur because of you, do you want to be unfavorable to the little girl today?" ”。

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Zhiqin nervously and said loudly: "Qin'er! Does this thief do evil to you? Don't be afraid! Dad is here, and today with a pair of old bones, he will also seek justice for you. ”。

Zhang Zhiqin also knew that his father had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Dad! Li ---".

Before he finished speaking, Li Chengji grabbed the white and said: "Lord Zhang! Your words are debatable. I don't have my hair tied, but I'm a man. Walk properly, walk right. How come in your eyes, such a stubborn person?! ”。

"Good thief, really like your father, clever tongue. If Qin'er hadn't been coerced by you, how could she have not heard from her for months? ”。

"Master Zhang!" , Li Chengji gritted his teeth and said heavily: "My father is an important minister of the imperial court and your superior, how can he be so slandered by you?" ”。

"Humph! Today's matter, even if Li Zhongshu is here, I will ask for justice. Zhang Timing also felt that something was wrong, so he changed his name. Although the face is still tough, the tone has eased a lot.

At this time, Zhang Zhiqin finally found a gap and interjected: "Dad! If there is no Li Gongzi to save her, today's daughter will be humiliated by thieves! ”。

"Qin'er!" , Zhang Timing was a little dissatisfied: "Is this coerced by Li Yizhi?" ”。 It happened that Uncle Zhang led a team of guards in, and surrounded Li Chengji and the others with an unkind expression.
