The sister and brother chatted for a while, sitting in the main hall and waiting for Zhang Qi. Zhang Qi finished instructing Uncle Zhang and hurried back, the two stood at the door and watched Zhang Qi's carriage go away, the sky gradually darkened, the nurse had prepared dinner, the sister and brother had dinner, Zhang Heling pulled Zhang Erzhen's cuffs and refused to rest, Zhang Erzhen knew that he was afraid, so he ordered Ah Chu Ah Shan to stay at the door of the inner room of Qifeng Courtyard, and sat on the edge of the bed to tell Zhang Heling a story, it was the story of the old-fashioned Meng's mother Sanqian, Zhang Heling squinted his eyes and muttered: "Sister, what are our neighbors like.........

Zhang Erzhen coaxed Zhang Heling to sleep, told Ah Chu and Ah Shan to watch it, and then go to rest in the middle of the day, and dragged his tired body back to the butterfly garden. Today is in a hurry and packing up clothes and belongings, the little girls in the house are so tired that they can't straighten their waists, and the sharp Ruyue in the past is now trembling with her hand holding the basin, Zhang Erzhen ordered the little girls to go down to rest, and called the nurse to ask: "Has Mama Hua rested?"

"Mama has fallen asleep. ”

"I'm going to ask Lang Zhong to come back tomorrow, and don't be vague about the medicine. In the future, Mama Hua will live in the courtyard next door, looking for a little girl to serve. was tossed by her nephew like this, Mama Hua's body was not as good as before, and she persuaded her not to be strong. Zhang Erzhen took off her hairpin, her long black and shiny hair was sprinkled on her shoulders, and the nurse took a horn comb to help sort it out, and waited for Zhang Erzhen to lie down in the collapse, and said: "Girl, Mama Hua has already left the palace, I thought, it is better to find a place for her to support the elderly, she lives in our house and is unstable......

"The nurse will be wrong about me, Mama Hua has been wandering and working hard for most of her life, and I can't bear to see her suffer. She taught me a lesson in the end, and her character is excellent, and I won't let her do anything, and I won't make trouble for her for no reason. Also, let's come to Shandong, does she know the reason?"

"Mama Hua didn't ask me, but I think she guessed something, girl, what ......do you mean?"

"I don't force her, just tell her about Wanrong, I want to go and stay, I respect her. If she wants to leave, I will send a few men to escort her. Zhang Erzhen closed her eyes, the tiredness in her voice could not be concealed, the nurse was distressed, and she stopped talking, gently put down the ginger curtain, and the room was silent, before leaving quietly.

At that time, Zhang Erzhen was already asleep, and she didn't know how the nurse told Mama Hua, Mama Hua pondered for a long time, and said sharply: "Well, in the end, it is the place where I have lived for most of my life." The girl treats me with affection and righteousness, if I can help her, naturally there is nothing I shouldn't do, it's just Zhilan, you know, but whenever it involves Wan Guifei, she always licks blood on the knife, and if she is not careful, she will die. ”

The nurse sat on the dark black mound and responded: "The girl is not reluctant to grandma, grandma is old, if you want to find a place to care for the elderly with peace of mind, the house can help." ”

Mama Hua shook her head and sighed: "What do you say about peace of mind, I have been walking on thin ice all my life, trembling, and I have long been used to such days, how can I care about my own life, it is your girl, she is only a teenager, if it is really ...... , I'm afraid it's hard to get out. ”

"Mama's peace of mind is that Concubine Wan probably doesn't know about this. No matter how bold Wan Rong was, he didn't dare to ask for the palace, but now he was just on guard. Mama just lives in peace, there is no adult master in the house, and she still needs Mama to take care of it. ”

Mama Hua said solemnly: "Your girl is not yet in time, and you should not underestimate her." You serve by her side all day long, when you know your girl better than me, she looks warm and kind, but in fact, she is very stubborn in her bones, that is, she fights with Wan Rong and breaks the net, I think she also dares! ”

"That's what Mama said, that's why you need our help even more......"

............

The following days were busy and dull, and more than ten carriages and goods sent by Zhang Luan arrived one after another, and the high-headed horses pulling the goods were all in good spirits, snorting and pouting their hooves. The cargo boxes and cages are moved down one by one, and at a glance they are packed by the Jin family, from the table case for writing poems and paintings in Zhang Heling's room, to the small table for the coffee table for rice, and the small silver night pot used by Zhang Heling at night. Zhang Erzhen's belongings were only three cars, and the rest were all carried to Zhang Heling's Qifeng Courtyard. Zhang Qi took Zhang Heling to visit Kong's family, because Zhang Luan's letter was first, the Kong family received Zhang Qi and the two of them very warmly, and decided to accept this student after teaching Zhang Heling's knowledge. It's a pity that Zhang Heling, the big and small objects sent by the Jin family, is afraid that he won't be needed for a while, because the Confucian Hall needs to be studied full-time, and the teaching content includes the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and songs, the six arts of governing the country and the way of self-cultivation.

After Zhang Heling came back, he was in very good spirits, chattering around the busy Zhang Erzhen, saying that there were many students in the Confucian Hall of Literature, who were not much older than him, and his tone was full of expectations. The little boy at this age is not nostalgic for the old, and he is very receptive to new things, so he can't wait to pack up a few clothes and go to the Tangwen Museum immediately. Zhang Erzhen instructed the two little guys to sort out the pen and ink needed for the eldest prince to go to the Tang Wen Pavilion, and pulled the excited * Zhang Heling to sit on the hard cherry wood deep-grained chair, and said solemnly: "Going to the Confucian Confucian Museum is not for you to play, but for you to follow the Confucian family to learn writing and poetry, and use it in the future to participate in the imperial examination." My father originally came out of the Confucian Hall, you can't lose his face, you can't be lazy, you can't slack off, you can't be naughty, I will take you to play when you come back on the 10th. If you don't obey, I'll take the ring ruler sent by my father and knock you ten rulers, do you understand?"

Zhang Heling hung her head aggrievedly, took her sister's hand and promised: "I know what my sister said, I promised my sister to work hard, and I won't lie to you." Sister, don't be so me, look at it and be afraid. ”

Zhang Erzhen touched Zhang Heling's hairy little head and sighed: "I have to be strict with you, and you will complain about me in the future." My sister and brother are now dependent on each other, and I don't know how many years it will take. ”

Along with the luggage rack, there are also letters from Zhang Luan and Jin, Jin's and not mentioned, they are all Yin Yin's entrustment, Zhang Luan's letter told Zhang Erzhen to rest assured, take care of himself, take care of the crane. This time, Zhang Erzhen felt that the heavens were not facing her. The northern Tatars attacked, and it was when the generals went into battle, and Master Wan, who was the secretary of the Wanjia Military Department, was an important figure today, and Wan Rong didn't know how to be proud. Zhang Erzhen secretly said that fortunately he left early, if the ten thousand families returned with a great victory, it would be Wanrong's words to say, and the Holy Lord would be happy.

It was a few days before Zhang Qi took Zhang Heling out of the house, and Zhang Erzhen finally took a breath, she was really tired these days. Although there are few people in the house, there are a lot of things, with Uncle Zhang and the nurse working a lot, and many things also need her approval, now that she has finally settled down, Zhang Erzhen has planned her own affairs, and the Lixing sent out has returned, waiting for Zhang Erzhen in the butterfly courtyard, Zhang Erzhen sat in the shade of the cool tree, listening to the news from Lixing's inquiry-

"When the servant went to visit the next door, it was opened by an old housekeeper. The old housekeeper has been away from home for six years and has not returned, and the old housekeeper said that he did not know where he went. Originally, the old man's surname was indeed Fang, and the servant handed over the meeting gift prepared by the house to the old housekeeper, and the old housekeeper said thank you another day, and sent the servant out and came back. ”

The afternoon sun induces people to sleep, but Zhang Erzhen was stunned for a moment, six years? Mr. Fang has been away for six years, and hurriedly asked: "The old housekeeper can say when Mr. Fang will come back, have you seen the Fang family's flower garden, is there anything strange in the courtyard next to our garden?"

Li Xing recalled a little: "The slave kept in mind the girl's entrustment, and carefully observed, there was nothing suspicious about the house, and the servant followed the old housekeeper into the main hall of the main courtyard after entering a heavy hanging flower door, during which there were only tables and chairs, and there were no sundries, the garden was wide and flat, and the scenery was ordinary, but it was ordinary. ”

Zhang Erzhen guessed that Mr. Fang withdrew the greenhouse greenhouse when he left, but it was a pity to cultivate such a good flower butterfly. Zhang Erzhen instructed to go down and decided to visit in person another day. Before Zhang Erzhen could visit, in the afternoon of the same day, the old housekeeper of the Fang family came, wearing an ordinary cotton brown robe, holding a hundred flowers and auspicious stripes, with long eyebrows and straight hair, and his beard and hair were all white, which was amiable.

Zhang Erzhen saw the old housekeeper in the main hall, and when Mingyue came to tea, he ordered the girls on both sides to go down and wait. Zhang Erzhen sat on the left side of the head, and the old housekeeper sat down on the right side, looked at Zhang Erzhen for a while before he spoke: "The master asked me to guard the house, and this guard is six years." The old man has always been alone, not with others to be relatives, before leaving to tell me, if the master next door comes back, hang up the bright red canvas, if he passes by if he sees it, he will return. The old housekeeper squinted his eyes and looked at the girl of the Zhang family as if she was looking at herself, before she nodded and said slowly: "The master also explained to me, if the girl next door also comes, she will ask me to hand over a letter to you personally." I thought I couldn't wait for the girl, but it only happened that I saw you in six years. ”

Zhang Erzhen was a little stunned, watching the old housekeeper slowly take out the red cover letterhead from his cuffs, Zhang Erzhen took it with both hands and asked, "Did Mr. Fang say where he would go?

The old butler stroked his long beard with a kind face: "I think the girl will understand everything when she sees this letter." The old slave should also go back, and the things that should be done are done, so go back and hang up the red sails, and wait for the master to come back another day. Zhang Erzhen carefully put away the letterhead, respectfully sent the old housekeeper out, Zhang Erzhen held a thick letterhead, I couldn't imagine what Mr. Fang would have to tell her, she was a little hesitant, over the years, more and more people and things appeared, she was afraid that she would have too many ties with the life of her previous life, disturbing the current peace. After sending off the old housekeeper, Zhang Erzhen returned to the butterfly garden, closed the door and sat in front of the window, the faint yellow of the sunset pulled out a long shadow through the window lattice, Zhang Erzhen trembled and tore open the seal, inside was a thick pile of rice paper, and the small block was neatly written page after page. Zhang Erzhen calmed down her complicated mood and started to see "Miss Zhang's personal ............

Zhang Erzhen had been in the room for two hours, the moon quietly climbed up the branches, and the nurse asked sternly, "Did the girl eat, why didn't you go in to serve?"

Mingyue said aggrievedly: "The slave didn't dare to go in, the slave was kicked out by the girl, from the end of Shen Shi to the present, only Ruyue went in and added a pot of tea, and was immediately kicked out." ”

Ruyue continued: "The girl is about to read a book and can see that she is divine, and we are not allowed to disturb when the girl is serious, don't worry, the girl looks in a good mood when the slave and maid go in, and she must be able to eat in a while." ”

The pear blossom wood cloud food box carried by the nurse was filled with steaming meals, and she lingered at the door of the room for a long time and said uneasily: "The girl won't stay in the room alone for so long, no, I have to go in and have a look." Mingyue pulled the nurse's cuffs and said, "Don't go, the nurse said that you are not allowed to disturb her." "The nurse carried the food box back and forth, and there was always a bad feeling.
