Chapter 608: Travel
The daughter of the clan has wrapped up the Hibiscus Garden! Qiao Ran sighed with emotion, in the end, it is the clan, even if it is the Furong Garden that only the powerful can charter and have to set in advance, don't these clan ladies also want to wrap it up?
Although it was a little frustrating not to go to Cheng Hibiscus Garden, everyone was not sulking because of this.
However, Qiao Ran thought about it and reassured everyone: "We can't go today, we can go again tomorrow, and the ladies of the clan will never spend the night in the Hibiscus Garden." ”
Naturally, no one will object to this proposal, after all, it is a hibiscus garden, and it is worth taking an extra trip to the hibiscus garden.
The second day was another good day, which was just right for a trip.
Hongdou was in the courtyard encouraging Tang Zhongyuan to go to Furong Garden with them: "You take a day off, and your Lord Zhen is not left without you." ”
Tang Zhongyuan heard this, but said with a wry smile: "The officials of Dali Temple can get ten taels more than ten taels when they are full of diligence." ”
"Hey, what's that money?" Hongdou waved his hand and muttered, but his voice was no longer loud as before, and he was a little lacking in confidence.
Ten taels of silver seems to be a lot, so does Tang Zhongyuan need to be so diligent?
"What are you doing so diligently?" Hongdou glanced at him puzzled, and looked him up and down with suspicious eyes, "No...... Which girl do you like? ”
Although this Tang Zhongyuan doesn't look very good, he is also a human-like person, when she came back from shopping for vegetables before, there were maids from unknown families nearby who asked her about Tang Zhongyuan!
I can't see that he's quite popular! Hongdou touched his face with some taste.
"I spend all day doing things for adults, how can I have that spare time?" Tang Zhongyuan glanced at the red bean inexplicably, and said, "It's okay for you to go to Furong Garden or something, I still have to go to the Yamen." ”
Hongdou snorted coldly when he heard this, and was about to say that it didn't matter if he had a day off, but a knock outside the door rang at this time.
Tang Zhongyuan turned around and strode to pull the door bolt open, and Zhang Jie, who was carrying the fish, appeared in front of the two.
"Uncle!" Seeing him appear here early in the morning, Hongdou's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him happily, and took the fish passage in his hand, "Buy it for my young lady!" ”
Let's just say that she has the best eye for red beans, look at my aunt, I know that Miss likes to eat fish, and she also knows that she will send fish in the morning.
This girl is like this, her brain is not very good, her attention is on one place and she forgets about the other, Tang Zhongyuan sighed, took advantage of Hongdou's attention to turn to Zhang Xie who suddenly came to the door, said "go" to Hongdou and strode out of the door.
A group of girls and an old man named Dr. Feng, uh, although there are "unusual" children like Pei Qingqing, it is still a little uneasy for such a group of people to go out. Right now, Zhang Tianshi came to the door, knowing that Miss Qiao was going out, Zhang Tianshi would definitely accompany him, so he could rest assured.
Zhang Xie hummed and said to the red beans: "The old man who sells fish sent it in the morning, and I saw that it was good, so I sent it." ”
Hongdou immediately patted his chest when he heard this, saying that he "understood" his eyes, among so many people in the family, only Miss likes to eat fish the most, and she knows very well who this fish is sent for.
"Uncle, do you want to make your own fish?" She didn't forget that although this uncle was very busy in the past few days, the level of cooking was very good, and I heard that he learned from the recipes.
Before, she thought that learned scholars were like this, and they could make good dishes by following the recipes, but after eating the dishes that Qiao Shu learned to cook and pulling her stomach for two days, she completely dispelled this idea.
It seems that cooking is the same as reading, it is all about talent.
Obviously, there are a lot of talents like my uncle, and they are a little less.
"I'm off today, I'm not busy." Zhang Xie said with a smile when he heard this, and rubbed the pendant hanging on his waist.
Hongdou noticed his outfit today: he was not wearing the usual Yin and Yang Si Tianshi robes in Su Ri, but a rare aqua blue robe, he had never seen him wear such a color before, but he didn't expect that he would feel a little bit like a beautiful son when he wore it.
She knows that her uncle is good-looking, but she specially dressed up to see Miss like this, and Hongdou expressed great satisfaction with this: Uncle is really becoming more and more conscious, and he is really a man who pleases himself. Yes, yes, she has to go back and pull the young lady up and dress up, so that as soon as she walks out, others will know that their young lady and aunt are a couple.
After all, being able to take leave at the same time shows that he has a soul, unlike that Tang Zhongyuan, who is for ten taels of silver...... Uh, ten taels of silver is still quite important, Hongdou muttered a few times, took the fish back to the kitchen, and hurried to the lady's room to call someone.
As for entertaining my uncle, my uncle already knows very well that he is not an outsider, and he doesn't need to entertain, he will pour tea for himself, so he doesn't have to care.
Although it is a good weather, it is almost human nature to lie in bed in winter, and after being pulled up from bed by red beans, one big and one small are yawning and let the red beans toss.
Compared with Qiao Ran, who was still a little sleepy, Pei Qingqing was much more awake as soon as she got out of the bed, blinking at the two messy balls on her head and looking at her curiously.
lest Pei Qingqing make trouble, Hongdou rarely handled the ball on Pei Qingqing's head, in the past, the two on her head were combed by the young lady, and they remained unchanged for ten thousand years.
If your own lady talks about her shortcomings, she probably only can't sort out her own shortcomings.
As soon as the red bean got started, he showed his hand, braided Pei Qingqing's hair combed into a bun in the day, circled it, and tied it with a red head rope, looking at the bun on the top of his head in the bronze mirror turned into two rabbit ears, Pei Qingqing was amazed and praised repeatedly: "Sister Hongdou, I finally found your advantages!" ”
The little girl's praise was very sincere, but the red beans really couldn't laugh at all. Pei Qingqing, this girl said as if she didn't know anything else except for her red beans?
She knows a lot, she can cook, housekee, and help the young lady choose her aunt!
Tie the two rabbit ears on Pei Qingqing's head, facing Qiao Ran's hair, the red beans have more room to play, and their hands fly up and down, and it doesn't take long for a dexterous flying fairy bun to be tied.
Pei Qingqing looked dumbfounded: Just like the ball on her head, Miss Qiao's hair bun in the past was either a single bun that was convenient for wearing an official hat or a double bun when wearing regular clothes, but then again, it was the first time she saw a bun other than these two buns on Miss Qiao's head!
It turns out that Sister Red Bean will have so much? However, Miss Qiao's hair bun like this is really beautiful, and she is sure that Zhang Xie will like it too. Pei Qingqing nodded secretly: After all, Zhang Xie is with her, and this aesthetic and vision should follow her.
After combing Qiao Ran's Feixian bun, and matching the hair bun with beaded flowers and hanging beaded hairpins, Hongdou turned around and took out a set of water-blue long skirts at the bottom of the box in the suitcase.
Today, my uncle is wearing a blue shirt, and the young lady has to wear a blue shirt, so she can only match it when she goes out.
It just so happened that the cousin who was far away in Jinling had sent several beautiful dresses to the young lady before, and the young lady had not worn them when she was going to the yamen in the past, but this time she was able to take them out and wear them.
The aqua blue dress is not something that everyone can suppress, but the young lady is good-looking, and this blue long skirt looks more and more beautiful when worn on the young lady, and it is very eye-catching.
The red bean is very satisfied with its own matching.
When Qiao Ran was completely sleepy, she was almost startled when she saw herself in the mirror, she helped the unstable looking bun on her head, but it was actually stable on the top of her head, pointed to the person in the mirror, and hesitated: "Red beans, it's just going out to play, isn't it too grand?" ”
"Where?" Hongdou hung blue jade earrings on her earlobes for her, and said happily, "Which of those young ladies who come out to play doesn't dress up?" Miss is born too good-looking to feel grand! ”
Such a straightforward compliment is really ...... It's embarrassing to blame. Qiao Ran coughed embarrassedly, turned her head and faced Pei Qingqing, who had combed two rabbit ears.
On weekdays, the beautiful and cute little girl has changed her hair to a bun, which is even more flexible. Compared with her embarrassment, the little girl unceremoniously accepted all the compliments sent by others, and she said happily: "Really? I think so too, after all, it's combed on my head, how can it not look good? ”
Qiao Ran couldn't help but rub her eyebrows when she heard this: It seems that sometimes, she should still learn from Pei Qingqing.
It's rare to dress up and dress up once and for a compliment, Qiao Ran looked at Zhang Xie who was looking at her with bright eyes, coughed embarrassedly, and turned to the side, she knew why Hongdou wanted to change into this blue dress for her.
With a natural expression on everyone's face, Old Doctor Feng squinted and nodded with satisfaction: When he was in Jinling, how could the Heavenly Master of the Yin and Yang Division be involved with a thirteen-year-old girl? At that time, he felt that the two were definitely not the so-called "official business", and they must be selfish. Now it seems that it was.
However, this Zhang Tianshi looks much smarter than the kid he saw at the gate of Dali Temple before, and it is better to see this one in front of him, this girl surnamed Qiao has always had a good eye.
Looking at the way these two people went to the side to whisper, they really looked like a pair of beautiful people.
Qiao Ran walked to the side with Zhang Xie and said to him: "I have something important to tell you, don't you stare at me like this anymore." ”
"Okay." Zhang Xie nodded and continued to watch.
It's rare for Ran Ran to cooperate with him so much, so he has to take a closer look. Moreover, today's show reminded him that in the future, they can also wear it like this. Having said that, the official robe of the female official in Dali Temple is also somewhat similar to the look of their Yin and Yang Division, and he can propose to the Shangyi Bureau in the palace this year to change it and strive to be more like.
As for the regular clothes worn by Su Rili, he can ask Red Beans for help, and he can always wear them like this when he goes out with Ranran in the future.
Even though he knew that the girl must have something serious to call him aside, Zhang Xie couldn't help but think more when he saw her blue dress.
The girl coughed lightly, glanced at him, and when she saw his gaze looking back, she got down to business: "The face I asked you about earlier has news." ”
Masks? Thinking of the blue-eyed and fanged face, Zhang Xie glanced at her as if he was a little surprised, and asked her, "Where did you get the news?" ”
"I'll start with ......" The girl instinctively wanted to follow his words, but before she said two words, her voice suddenly froze, and then she raised her eyes to look at him, with a little more suspicion in her eyes, "You...... Isn't it time to ask me what the news is? Why do you ask me where I got it from? ”
Zhang Jie, who was questioned by the girl, did not panic, but sighed, his originally bright eyes gradually sank, and after being silent for a while, he said: "When you asked me before, I actually hid it from you." ”
The girl hummed and looked at him, waiting for his explanation.
"I've seen that mask." Zhang Xie said to her, he knew that she never forgot it, and she also knew that he had an amazing memory, even if it was some extremely similar masks, but for him, it should not be difficult to remember.
"I don't really know what this mask is, though, I've seen it before." Zhang Xie explained to her, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
The girl looked at his slightly frowning eyebrows and asked, "It's inconvenient to say?" ”
Zhang Xie looked at her for a moment, a trace of entanglement flashed in his eyes, but he still nodded and said, "I...... I really can't say it at the moment. ”
Qiao Ran snorted, without reluctance, but said, "Then I won't ask, tell me where I got the news from." Yesterday, I saw a similar mask when I looked at the changing faces in front of the Bell and Drum Tower, and I learned about this mask from them. ”
"Does this have any origin?" Zhang Xie asked her.
"Ah Man's ghost," Qiao Ran said, retelling the story of the man who changed his face yesterday and told her, "I heard that this is a legend near the border of Lingnan. ”
Lingnan border? Zhang Jie's eyes flashed slightly: You can start from this aspect to check.
"What do you think of this story?" After saying this, Qiao Ran asked Zhang Xie again.
Zhang Xie thought for a while and said, "This kind of folklore can't be considered true or false, and it is full of loopholes. ”
"I know." The girl nodded when she heard this, suddenly pointed to her face, and asked him, "Am I very similar to Yuan Jiaojiao?" ”
After listening to the story of Ah Man's ghost, she suddenly mentioned this, Zhang Jie's face changed suddenly, but she still said: "You are not twins, she and you are not the same mother, the second lady of the Qiao family only gave birth to you back then, don't think about it." ”
There should be no doubt about her life experience, she is definitely not a twin, and she is just a little similar to Yuan Jiaojiao, and she really puts the two in front of her, and the two are completely different in terms of facial features and temperament.
In his eyes, ten, hundred, thousand, and thousands of Yuan Jiaojiao are not as good as her.
"I know." After hearing what he said, the girl nodded again, her expression calm, "I'm not a twin, I just happen to look like Yuan Jiaojiao, and it is still easy to see the difference if you look closely, but do you remember the person who imprisoned Xie Chengze before?" ”
That person and Xie Chengze are almost exactly the same as the real ones.
But the interesting thing is that whether it is the Xie family or the people who witnessed Mrs. Xie Liu's birth at that time, they can also be sure that Xie Chengze is not a twin.
It can almost be said that there is no doubt about her life experience, whether it is her or Xie Chengze, it is a sure thing that there are no twin brothers or sisters, but there is a person who looks very similar to herself.
Could this be a coincidence?
Qiao Ran looked at Zhang Xie who was frowning in front of her, when he, Xie Chengze and Xu Hexiu appeared in front of her in Jinling that day, she almost paid all her attention to Zhang Jie's body, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly find so many similarities with her in Xie Chengze's body at this time.
