On this day, Zhu Wang came over, blushed and said to Xiaolan that there were distinguished guests in the house, and a big banquet should be held in the evening, so that the little grandmother could prepare early.

"What kind of guest is it?" Zheng Zhi had just finished breakfast, and she was copying a landscape painting when she had nothing to do. Baifu now has people coming to visit every three or five days, is there any big man who is so solemn this time?

Xiao Lan brought a bowl of red date syrup, "It seems that Lord Ling is coming, last time Lord Ling didn't go to the county mansion, and now he comes directly to Baifu, suddenly Baifu has such a big face, it must be a big deal." ”

Zheng Zhi depicted a distant mountain in pale ink and did not speak. Xiao Lan watched Zheng Zhi carefully delineate, stroke by stroke very seriously, she asked, "Miss, why don't you find some simple paintings to copy, but instead paint such a big scene as the majestic mountains?" ”

Zheng Zhi looked at the lines she had drawn, frowned a little dissatisfied, and put down the brush in her hand: "The majestic mountains are majestic and majestic, and at first sight, I feel that people are small, and everything has its laws and is unpredictable, so people's vision and mind should be broader." “

Xiao Lan didn't seem to understand, nodded randomly, and saw the red date syrup that was still steaming, so she remembered and said: "Miss, don't work too hard if you don't feel well when you come to the letter today, Xiao Lan boiled red date syrup for you, drink a little while it's hot." “

Zheng Zhi picked up the bowl and drank the sweet sugar water one by one, and her stomach was warm. When she paints the mountains in ink, she actually wants to remind herself that she should not be entangled in the current situation, and that she should be more open-minded and tenacious.

At noon, Zheng Zhi felt that the sun was still early and her body was not refreshing, so she took a nap. Who knew that it was time to wake up. Seeing that the room was silent, Xiao Lan didn't know where to go.

Zheng Zhi was a little anxious in her heart, she found a gold silk skirt with peace and wishful miscellaneous treasure patterns and put it on, this skirt is a rare gorgeous and rich dress in Zheng Zhi's clothes. After getting dressed, Xiao Lan came. Xiao Lan saw that Zheng Zhi had already taken a good time, stuck out her tongue and said, "Miss, just now Mother Sun said that Zhongtang is not manpowered, let me help, I didn't want to go, but Mother Sun put on a face, and I really couldn't shirk it in the end, so I went back, so I came back late." "Mother Sun usually relies on her old age in Baifu, and it is common to bully little girls and little girls. Although Xiaolan is Zheng Zhi's eldest girl, the maid of an unfavored concubine, Mother Sun, will not take it seriously.

"Alright, Xiaolan, let's go quickly, it's almost too late." Zheng Zhi looked at the aggrieved Xiaolan and sighed, pulling her towards the Baifu Hall.

Although the evening of early spring was not as dark as in winter, it quickly became dark as soon as the time passed. Because she was afraid that she would go too late, Zheng Zhi decided to take Xiao Lan to take a shortcut, preparing to walk to the hall from an avoidable path.

At this time, there were basically no people on the way, and most of them were already waiting in the hall. When they reached the trail and walked past a fork in the road, they faintly heard human voices. Zheng Zhi instinctively slowed down, because the voice she heard at this time was familiar. Two steps further, looking through the half-man-high bushes that separated them, there were two figures standing not far away, one tall and one short, a man and a woman. That woman, Zheng Zhi knows, is Zheng Rui.

“…… What do you want to do? Zheng Zhi heard Zheng Rui's nervous voice.

"Don't worry, this son won't do anything to you here, but I haven't seen you for more than a year, but I didn't expect our Zheng Rui to look more beautiful, which makes this son itchy, I want to see you without looking for a chance." The man's voice made no secret of his profligateness.

Zheng Zhi was shocked, she didn't expect to hear such content, but it was inappropriate to go out again at this time, she could only turn around and make a silent gesture to Xiao Lan.

Because the man had his back to them, Zheng Zhi couldn't see who the man was, only listened to the voice, and it wasn't someone she knew. From Zheng Zhi's point of view, she could only see that Zheng Rui seemed to be trembling slightly at this time, and her voice became unstable: "I'll tell you!" This is in Bai Mansion, you speak to me be careful! ”

"Yo, what's wrong with Kashiwafu? What about you marrying into Kashiwa? I wasn't afraid of Zheng Jiangde at the beginning, and he didn't end up honestly becoming my father's pawn. Hum! But now it seems that it is a pity that I didn't take you as a concubine at the beginning, and I cheapened that Bai Ziyi. Tell me, can Bai Ziyi make you call like me? The man's lewd voice was like a slippery, cold viper.

"Shut up, you shameless and lewd villain!" Zheng Rui raised his hand towards the man opposite, but the hand that was waved down halfway was grabbed by the man, "What?" Do you still want to hit me? You don't look at who I am? Slut! You say, how would Bai Ziyi feel if he knew that you were a remnant flower and married him? With that, he threw Zheng Rui aside, and Zheng Rui fell to the ground, trembling and trying to get up, but it seemed that she had used up all her strength and didn't get up immediately.

And the man didn't care about Zheng Rui who was sitting on the ground, laughed and walked away.

Zheng Zhi, who was hiding on the side, shrank her body, her heart was like a wave, the man just now, he and Zheng Rui ......

Zheng Zhi turned around and saw Xiao Lan with a bloodless face. Zheng Zhi gritted her teeth, she had to get out of here quickly, this secret shouldn't be known to them. Zheng Zhi was cold at this time, and pointed stiffly behind her, she was about to take Xiaolan back the same way. Xiao Lan nodded and stood up, but in the process of standing, she accidentally touched the branches of the bushes, and the branches were shaken and made a sound.

"Who's there?" Zheng Rui's sharp tone sounded. At this time, Zheng Zhi had already turned her back, and when she heard the voice, her heart was Ling, and she couldn't care so much so she had to walk back quickly.

Zheng Rui saw a figure quickly disappearing into the darkness under the dark gray sky, and only the peace and wishful miscellaneous treasure patterns on the silk skirt worn by the person dazzled her eyes.

Zheng Zhi took Xiao Lan and walked back to the main road, at this time the lights in the Bai Mansion were already brilliant, and when they came to the hall, all the people with heads and faces in the Bai Mansion had arrived, including Zheng Rui.

When Zheng Rui saw Zheng Zhi's peace and ruyi miscellaneous treasure pattern silk skirt, the hand in her sleeve clenched tightly into a fist.

"Ah, I said Zheng Zhi, why did you come so late and let so many people wait for you!" Aunt Qian is wearing a very grand dress today, and the beads on her hair bun are all over her head, dotted with stars.

"Aunt Qian, I'm not feeling well today, so I got up late, I'm really sorry." Zheng Zhi didn't dare to look at Zheng Rui directly, she wasn't sure if Zheng Rui had seen her just now. At this moment, she could only pretend to be calm and look around. The women sat at a table, Bai Zifei sat next to Aunt Qian, and next to Zheng Rui, who bowed her head and was silent. And through the bead curtain, the man sat at a table, Zheng Zhi could vaguely see Bai Ziyi and Bai Ziren sitting together, and there were three people opposite, one of whom she knew, it was Ling Xiao. Next to Ling Xiao sat an older man with a long beard, and on the other side was a young man.
