Originally, Qingzhi asked the vendor where the Pingnan Wangfu was, but she was depressed in her heart, and she wanted to take a look at that person, even if she couldn't see it, even if she looked at the place where he lived, but now she didn't have any thoughts.

Back to Xie Mansion, Qing Zhi first went back to the room to change clothes, bought a new batch of maids in the house, and there were two more people in Qing Zhi's courtyard, but the matter in front of her was still Ah Jing to serve a lot.

changed her clothes and prepared to go to He'an Garden, but Ah Jing said that the old lady was taking a nap at this hour, so it was better to wait for a while to go. Qing Zhi heard that the words were wrong, so she asked, "There is no one from He'an Yuan?" ”

Qing Zhi asked, Ah Xun was a little puzzled: "What's the matter, girl?" The old lady didn't tell anything. ”

Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yes, if Xie Qingrui's words are really in front of her grandmother, she will not have good fruit to eat." ”

It's just that if it's a weekday, nothing can be hidden from the old lady, but now that she has come to Bianjing for the first time, the old lady may be a little unaccustomed to the water and soil, and she has not been very happy in the past month, and she is also a little powerless about the affairs of the house.

Such a farce in the Hou Mansion didn't stab the old lady, if the Zeng family wanted to discipline Qingzhi, naturally they didn't need the old lady, and the eldest aunt was also afraid of what Xie Qingrui said to the girl in the Earl's Mansion.

Because there was no trouble, except for a few people present, no one else in the Xie Mansion knew about it, and Xie Jiangcheng still learned about it from the next morning.

At that time, Xie Jiangcheng and Zhao Chulin went out of the palace gate together, Shen Yanqing stopped him and asked him how the injury on Miss Xie's forehead was, Xie Jiangcheng was still stunned for a while.

"What? You don't know? ”

Xie Jiangcheng asked rhetorically: "Qingrui is injured?" ”

Xie Jiangcheng took office as a new official, and this time was indeed very busy, Shen Yanqing understood it very well, but thinking of the way the people in the house gave him a vivid expression yesterday, he still felt incredible: "Yesterday...... Your two sisters had a fight at my house, and Miss Xie was injured on her forehead. ”

Xie Jiangcheng opened his mouth, stunned and didn't know what to say, fortunately, Shen Yanqing and Zhao Chulin had a good relationship with him, so they wouldn't laugh at it, but there was such a thing, why didn't there seem to be any movement in the mansion?

"Is it Qinghan?" He knew that the eldest sister and the second sister often had small fights, so he naturally thought of Xie Qinghan, but Shen Yanqing told him that he was Qingzhi.

Xie Jiangcheng hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, you must have heard it wrong, how could it be Qingzhi?" "How could Qing Zhi's temperament fight with Qing Rui.

Shen Yanqing was repeatedly sure that it was Xie Qingzhi, and quietly took out a small box of ointment from his arms, and said with a smile: "The wound medicine in the army is often more effective, and it is not good for the girl's family to leave a scar on the face, you can take it back and give it to the eldest girl." ”

Xie Jiangcheng took it, and Shen Yanqing couldn't help but sigh again: "But your third sister is really ruthless, how can you greet the girl's face?" I heard that the eldest girl didn't fight back at all. ”

Xie Jiangcheng's face was very ugly, he knew Qing Zhi's heart best, and he had to figure this matter out. However, this also made him realize that after coming to Bianjing, he did neglect his sister because he was busy with official affairs.

Qing Zhi was already very surprised by this, but after Shen Yanqing left, Zhao Chulin told him again: "Qing Zhi is ...... It seems that I like Yanqing. ”

This made Xie Jiangcheng unable to stay any longer, so he hurriedly said goodbye and rushed home.

But when the priest who was not idle all day long wanted to accompany his sister in a busy way, he was told that Qingzhi went to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and did not return.

Early this morning, Zeng ordered Qingzhi to go to the Hou Mansion to make amends, mainly to explore the tone of the Marquise, people like the Hou Mansion, but mortals have intentions, and they must be grasped well.

"The third girl has come back and gone to the master's house." Seeing that the third prince was standing outside the courtyard and did not leave, Ah Xun informed the third prince of the news that the little maid at the mansion had just reported.

Xie Jiangcheng did not linger and went to his mother's courtyard instead.

"What is the attitude of the Marquise?" Zeng Shi came to the post in front of the bookcase, although he was talking to Qingzhi, his eyes were not half an inch away from the bookcase.

"The Marquise went to the Earl's Court and asked Miss Lin the reason for that day." Qing Zhi replied.

Zeng raised his eyes and glanced at Qingzhi lightly: "So, she knows everything?" ”

Qingzhi didn't speak, and Zeng frowned: "That day, the Marquise said that she didn't care about the difference between concubines and concubines, you were raised in my house, and you were more noble than the two in the big house, I think the Marquise is not an unreasonable person, if you can behave better next time, she may not be able to change her opinion of you." ”

Qing Zhi paused for a moment and said, "The little marquis has a noble status, and Qing Zhi doesn't dare to climb high. ”

Zeng put aside the pen in his hand and looked at her coldly: "How can you make your own decisions about marriage?" ”

It's been sixteen years, no matter what appearance or character, Xie Qingzhi doesn't have to choose, but probably if she doesn't like it, she doesn't like it, from the first time she saw her, from the time she was still in that woman's belly, it was destined that Zeng's life would not be able to accept her.

"The little marquis is of noble birth and has a noble character, which is your turn to pick and choose? In two days, the eldest grandson of the Duke of Li will hold a 100-day banquet, and the marquise will also go, if you make any more trouble, don't blame me for not being able to tolerate you. Although Zeng's treats her coldly, he rarely speaks seriously to her, naturally because she never causes trouble for Zeng's, but Zeng's attitude has always been very tough on marriage matters and Xie Jiangcheng's career.

Qingzhi also understood that in Zeng's place, she couldn't fight for anything, so she didn't have to fight hard, so she said softly: "But it's up to my mother to decide." ”

So Xie Jiangcheng, who hurried to his mother's yard, only heard this sentence outside the window: "But it's up to my mother to decide." ”

Qingzhi came out of the room, and was very surprised to see the third brother standing outside the door, she had been in Bianjing for more than a month, she knew that the third brother was busy, and she had never bothered him, but he had not seen him for several days.

"I'll go and say hello to my mother, and you'll be waiting for me here."

Xie Jiangcheng quickly came out, and Qingzhi went out of his mother's yard, coughed for no reason, and said: "Zhi'er has grown up, and now she has reached the age when she should discuss her relatives, if it is...... If you have someone you like, your brother will make decisions for you. ”

Qing Zhi was worried in her heart, and thought that her heart was seen through by her brother, and Xie Jiangcheng saw that his sister's cheeks were crimson, and he knew that Zhao Sangongzi's guess was true, probably the girl's family was always thin-skinned, and she was embarrassed to say it, so he would pay attention to it in the future.

The two left the courtyard of the main mother, but went to the east courtyard, Qing Zhi faintly guessed, and sure enough, she saw the third brother take out a delicate small box from his arms, and said with a little seriousness: "This is the ointment given by Shen Xiaohou, you send it to Qingrui." ”

"I'm not going." Qingzhi stopped.

Xie Jiangcheng knew that Qing Zhi would not lose her temper easily, and he really didn't want to go like this at the moment, so he said patiently: "I have heard a little about yesterday's incident, and I vaguely know why you did it, but even if she is at fault first, and her elders are in charge of you, you shouldn't beat her." And it is in someone else's house, in front of so many people, if you are a girl's family, if you leave a bad reputation for outsiders, who would dare to come to Xie Mansion to propose marriage? ”

"I heard that the injury on Qingrui's forehead is not light, if she really left a scar on her face, can you feel better?" Seeing that Qingzhi's face was loose, Xie Jiangcheng persuaded his sister again: "I specially left half a day today to take you out for a walk, if you don't want to go, then I can go back to China?" ”

"Don't!" Qingzhi grabbed her brother's sleeve, in the end she agreed, she was also selfish that day.

On the way from Jinling to Bianjing, Xie Jiangcheng promised Qingzhi that after arriving in Bianjing, he would take her around, but Qingzhi finally waited for her brother to be empty, but the little maid at the gate of the mansion suddenly came to report to the third son, saying that someone was looking for her outside the mansion.

Qingzhi thought that it was one of the prisoners of Guozijian again, and said sullenly: "You asked me to send her medicine to apologize, I went and let her grab the white for a while, and now the third brother wants to break his promise?" ”

Xie Jiangcheng smiled and said that he went out to send it away, Qingzhi naturally knew that this was a joke, after all, official business was important.

But not long after Xie Jiangcheng left, he asked someone to call Qingzhi, and when Qingzhi left the mansion, he saw Zhao Chulin standing with the third brother.

Xie Jiangcheng beckoned Qingzhi to come out, and said to Zhao Chulin: "No matter how important you are, today I promised Qingzhi to accompany her to play, no matter what, I will take her." ”

Zhao Chulin smiled faintly: "It's not important, it's just that the house is too lively, and I just want to find a quiet place to have a drink." ”

"Is it for Brother Chuxiu's wedding?"

"Don't talk about this, let's go, please go to the South Building." Zhao Chulin deliberately diverted the topic and said to Qingzhi: "Do the three girls know that there are three unique buildings in the south building of Bianjing City?" One unique wine, two unique dishes, three unique songs, let your third brother introduce you later. ”

Qing Zhi saw that Zhao Chulin looked at the third brother intentionally or unintentionally, and felt strange, so she heard the third brother cough and said: "When you go to the South Building later, you don't say anything that is not scored, I just take care of the poor girl Qin'er when I see it." ”

"I didn't say anything, don't you have a ghost in your heart?"

Xie Jiangcheng was helpless, pulled Qing Zhi and left, Qing Zhi subconsciously turned around and looked at Zhao Chulin, he followed unhurriedly.

Bianjing South Building was originally called Nanhuai Hug, because in the south of the city, everyone only called the South Building for the sake of smoothness, and later even the original building name was not shouted. Most of the nobles in the city are frequent visitors to the south building, the first floor does not attend, only a stage is set up in the north, the second and third floors are independent private rooms, Qing Zhi followed the two of them to the second floor, found a private room to enter, the door is open, convenient for listening to the play.

"Zhi'er, what's wrong with your hand?" Xie Jiangcheng suddenly frowned and looked at Qing Zhi.

Qing Zhi looked down, and hurriedly covered her wrist with her sleeve, it was early summer, and her clothes were gradually thinning, and when she raised her hand, the sleeves slipped, revealing the bruise on her wrist, which was seen by the third brother.

Xie Jiangcheng stared at her closely, and Qing Zhi had no choice but to say softly: "I was pinched by her yesterday, and it doesn't hurt anymore." ”

Xie Jiangcheng sighed, his snow-white wrist was bruised, how could it not hurt, but with Zhao Chulin present, it was not a glorious thing for the two sisters to fight after all, he just told Qingzhi to rub the medicine well, and did not say much.
