Although the old lady would not ask about this matter in front of a full house, Qingzhi knew that the old lady had taken this matter to heart.

After the meal, the house invited a well-known puppet troupe in the capital to perform in the Yafeng Pavilion in the backyard of the house, and Zeng said that Jiang Cheng would bring the little marquis over and let Qingzhi take the time to say a few words to the little marquis.

Qingzhi is trying to explain to the little marquis, so naturally she should act, Yafeng Pavilion is playing a fragment of "Mulian Saves Mother", the old lady loves to see this kind of story of filial piety of children and grandchildren, and she is very happy to watch, and she doesn't care about Qingzhi at all.

Qing Zhi watched the third brother come from a distance, glanced at Zeng again, and saw Zeng's nodding, so she walked towards the third brother.

"Yanqing is waiting for you by the bamboo forest in front, let's go." Xie Jiangcheng looked at his sister fondly, and then ordered: "If you are seen, you will be generous, and it is okay to say a few words." ”

Qing Zhi followed the direction pointed by the third brother, and said in her heart that after seeing the little marquis, she must let him understand that she was definitely not his good match.

But Qingzhi approached the bamboo forest, and didn't see Shen Xiaohouye, but saw Xie Qingrui sneaking into the bamboo forest, Qingzhi followed her suspiciously, sure enough, she went to see the little marquis, Qingzhi turned her mind and didn't go forward to greet the little marquis.

"Big girl? I heard you were looking for me? Shen Yanqing stood tall, leaned slightly on the bamboo, and when he saw that it was Xie Qingrui coming over, he quickly straightened up.

Just now Xie Jiangcheng said that his sister had something to look for him and asked him to wait here for a while, he thought that Xie Jiangcheng was deliberately teasing him, but he really waited for the eldest girl of Xie Mansion.

Xie Qingrui's coquettishness, his eyes flowed, and he bent his knees slightly: "The ointment sent by the little marquis is very effective, and I haven't had a chance to thank him in person." ”

Shen Yanqing took a look, and sure enough, there was no scar on his forehead, and said with a smile: "The eldest girl gave birth to such a beautiful appearance, it would be a pity if she really had a scar." ”

Xie Qingrui lowered her head with shy eyebrows, Shen Yanqing also found that her words were inappropriate, but seeing that the eldest girl was not annoyed, he was originally sparse and did not take it to heart.

As he spoke, Xie Qingrui took out a delicate little spike from his sleeve and said softly: "Shouzhou encountered soldiers and bandits, thanks to the little marquis who desperately protected each other, and now the little marquis has given medicine to relieve his worries, Qingrui has nothing to repay, and there is nothing to do." The little marquis is a good martial artist, and he often wears a sword on his body, this is my own sword ring, I hope the little marquis will not dislike it. ”

Shen Yanqing's eyes lit up, and he took it with a smile: "What a beautiful spike, the eldest girl is polite, how can I dislike it, it's just that I deserve to raise my hand." ”

"I've been weaving this tassel for a long time, if the little marquis refuses to accept it, Qingrui will be sad."

Shen Yanqing had a good impression of Xie Qingrui, at least he didn't hate it, so he was no longer polite and took Suizi into his arms. Xie Qingrui smiled happily, her already beautiful face was full of smiles, and Shen Yanqing lost his mind for a moment.

Qingzhi couldn't hear what the two said, but she hid in the shadows and saw Xie Qingrui handing an object to Shen Yanqing with a shy eyebrow, and Shen Yanqing also accepted it with a smile. Looking at the demeanor of these two people, it is clear that Lang has the intention of having a concubine, so why bother to break up others, it is better for her to help them.

Qing Zhi looked around, this place was not far from the crowd, Xie Jiangcheng thought about her reputation, and did not find a quiet place away from the crowd, as long as the movement here was a little bigger, the guests who were listening to the play in the Yafeng Pavilion could hear it.

Qing Zhi shouted at the top of her voice, "Who is there?" ”

After saying that, Qingzhi ran away, as the third brother said, it was okay for the two of them to say a few words there, but she thought that the marquise would definitely think more, she just wanted the marquise to know that her son did not like herself.

But Qingzhi didn't expect that this matter would implicate the second sister.

Shen Yanqing heard that there was movement, and he was afraid that it would affect the reputation of the eldest girl, so he naturally left quickly, but his figure was still seen, and several nobles of the family rushed over when they heard the movement, and happened to see Shen Xiaohou leaving in a hurry, and only Xie Qingrui was standing there next to the bamboo forest.

Qingzhi didn't know what was going on behind her, she had been staying by the old lady's side and watching the play quietly, but somehow, it was gradually rumored that the second girl of the Xie Mansion and a concubine tried to marry into the Hou Mansion in vain, and the faces of the Xiang family and the Marquise were not very good-looking.

Qingzhi frowned, what does this have to do with the second sister, at that time, it was obviously the little marquis and the eldest sister who were next to the bamboo forest, how did these words of the second sister come out, she went to look at the second sister, and saw that the second sister was also inexplicable, but the eyes of many people fell on her, she couldn't stay, and left with red eyes.

But Xie Qingrui's gloating appearance was seen by Qingzhi, Qingzhi ignored Zeng's eyes, walked up to Xie Qingrui, and asked her: "Did you say something nonsense?" It's obviously you who just talked to the little marquis, what does it have to do with the second sister? ”

"Okay, it's you! Did you recruit people? Xie Qingrui was still looking for who shouted that voice.

"I originally wanted to help you and the little marquis, even if you are seen talking together, what can you do, but why do you want to involve the second sister?"

"You still have the face to question me! If you hadn't recruited people, I couldn't think of good words for a while, so I had to say that I was helping Qinghan spread the word, otherwise would it be like this? ”

Qingzhi didn't know what Xie Qingrui said to others, but the plan was not just as simple as passing the word, otherwise how could people say that the second sister was vainly trying to marry into the Hou family.

"Could it be that I also asked you to go secretly to see the little marquis? You go and explain to everyone now, saying that this matter has nothing to do with the second sister, and you just met the little marquis on the road. ”

"What are you, that you command me? Xie Qinghan has been secretly investigating behind his back these days, don't think I don't know, is it the idea you gave again? Xie Qinghan is used to being weak on weekdays, but now she dares to investigate her, and it must be Xie Qingzhi behind her.

Qingzhi knew that the second sister should not be mixed in that matter, Xie Qingrui and Yuan Xiaoniang were so shrewd, how could they not notice it? "I don't know what you're talking about, anyway, today's matter is that you can't live with the second sister, you go and explain it to everyone."

"You want me to explain? Don't even think about it, Xie Qinghan dares to deal with me now, it must be you, don't think about it! ”

"Aren't you afraid that Yuan Xiaoniang's resale of the land will be poked out?"

"Xie Qingzhi! Don't be embarrassed! Threaten this matter every time, if you have the ability, you can say it, it's a big deal, but don't blame me for not reminding you, as long as you dare to say it, I will make Xie Qinghan ruined! ”

"Using the innocence of his own sister as a bargaining chip, thinking so vicious......"

"What are the sisters whispering, so many guests are here, and they are not afraid of losing their manners." The old lady beckoned to the two, with a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.

Qingzhi suppressed the anger in her heart and walked to the old lady's side, until the end of the banquet, the guests and hosts were happy, and Xie Qinghan did not appear again.

After sending off the guests, Qing Zhi didn't have time to see the second sister, so she was called by the Zeng family again, and asked her what those rumors were about, didn't she go to see the little marquis?

Qingzhi had no choice but to answer truthfully: "Before I went, the eldest sister was already talking to the little marquis, so I didn't come forward, and I don't know what happened later." ”

"Fortunately, the Marquise didn't say anything, and in the future, you will stay away from the two in the big house, and it won't stop for a day!"

Qingzhi should be down and down, but she still doesn't worry about the second sister, what those noble girls said today is really ugly, and the second sister's temperament can't stand it.

But Qingzhi went to Zhou Xiaoniang's yard, the second sister closed the door and didn't see her, but Zhou Xiaoniang politely said a few words to her, Qingzhi persuaded the second sister not to take those words to heart through the door, but Xie Qinghan complained: "You all came to bully me, and I didn't hinder you, why do you have to come to practice me!" Is it better that I won't even go out of this door in the future, or if I'm dead! ”

"The third girl will go back first, she won't say anything about the third girl, don't mind the third girl." Zhou Xiaoniang stood aside awkwardly.

Qing Zhi shook her head: "It is the second sister who has been wronged, so let the little lady be relieved." ”

On this day, she was really tired, tired and tired, Qingzhi returned to her own small courtyard, and before she could unload the pearl hairpin, she fell on the soft couch, and Ah Xun hurriedly helped her up: "The girl doesn't dare to sleep like this." ”

Qingzhi closed her eyes and let Ah Jing unload the heavy loads, and Ah Jing asked her, "Doesn't the girl take a look at those congratulatory gifts?" ”

Qingzhi was lazy: "You can sort it out, register it, and then you can return the gift in the future." ”

"It's all registered, it's basically jewelry, books, etc., nothing special, it's just that the things sent by Zhao Sangongzi are very strange."

Qing Zhi opened her eyes suddenly: "Zhao Sangongzi? He's here too? Why didn't I see it? ”

Ah Xun smiled and said: "Zhao Sangongzi and they came to the house, naturally they were accompanied by the sons, how could the girl be seen in the backyard?" ”

"What did he send?"

"It's a pair of dangling puppets, a man and a woman."

"Bring it to me." Qingzhi can't wait, no matter what, she likes it.

After a while, Ah Xun came in with a small box, and Qingzhi opened it, and inside were two small puppets, one red and one green, lying quietly in the box.

Qingzhi's eyes gradually moistened, this was really the best gift she had ever received......

Zhao Chulin knew that she liked to listen to dramas, but he didn't know why she liked it so much.

During the Song Jianlong Qiande period, the old lady of the Xie family was still alive, and the two sons also served in the Hanlin Academy and Honglu Temple in the Southern Tang Dynasty respectively, and the Xie family was quite relied on in the old Tang Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, until the old lady died, the glory of the Xie family was much darker, but even so, the Xie family was also quite famous in Jiangning Mansion.

At that time, Zhao Jie, the king of Pingnan, was just a merchant in Jinling City, although he was a businessman, but the Zhao Mansion was rich in the world, and even the powerful people in the court had to sell Zhao Mansion a few thin noodles.

Xie Jiangcheng studied in a private school with several sons of the Zhao Mansion, and he had a similar temperament with Zhao Chulin, and they were the best friends. The little boys are quite bored with reading all day long, and they always sneak out to have fun from time to time, Xie Jiangcheng sees that his sister is always very boring alone, so he always loves to take her.
