Chapter 23: Returning Home (3)

Jian Xiaozhu stepped out of the carriage and saw the plaque at the gate that read "Zhang Fu". All of a sudden, she suddenly had the feeling of returning home from a city far away from home during the summer vacation of college. As if entering this door, her adrift ferryboat found a safe haven.

When Uncle Li, the gatekeeper, saw Jian Xiaozhu, he was stunned at first, rubbed his eyes, confirmed that he was not mistaken, and then ran in front of Jian Xiaozhu in a few steps and asked, "Third Miss, why are you back?" ”

Jian Xiaozhu: "Come back and rest for a few days." ”

So Uncle Li rushed into the door with a few steps, shouting as he ran: "The third lady is back!" ”

Soon, the door of Zhang's mansion opened again. A tall strange man rushed to Jian Xiaozhu in a few steps, gave her a big hug, and said with teary eyes: "Xiaozhuzi, you are finally home, I'm worried about you!" ”

Hearing the other party call himself Xiaozhu, Jian Xiaozhu was stunned. I didn't expect that someone would call her real name here. But then, the strange man's words made Jian Xiaozhu understand that his name was just Zhang Yunzhu's nickname.

"Xiaozhuzi, it's the first time you've been away from home for so long, and the second brother is worried about you."

Jian Xiaozhu understood that this person was her second brother Zhang Shanqing, whom she had never seen before. So she said, "Thank you for worrying about my second brother, but I'm fine." ”

It's just that Zhang Shanqing heard Jian Xiaozhu's words, and his face showed an expression of surprise and joy: "Xiaozhuzi, you are really not stupid." ”

Because Zhang Shanqing was well developed and very tall, Jian Xiaozhu could only raise his head and talk to him. In the sun, Zhang Shanqing's skin looks healthy wheat. His appearance is masculine, although he is not as handsome as Murong Yi, but he is also very dignified and attractive.

And Zhang Shanqing's appearance has a memory point, that is, his squinting eyes under one eyelid. Jian Xiaozhu only remembered that it was said in the book that those who squinted were monsters. However, Zhang Shanqing seemed to be very easy to get along with, and when he saw Zhu Yan, he greeted him very warmly: "Zhu Gongzi, why did you come to my door?" My sister has come home, and the family will definitely improve the food today. Are you going to come to our house for dinner? ”

Hearing Zhang Shanqing's words, Zhu Yan kept his indifferent face unchanged, while Jian Xiaozhu pulled Zhang Shanqing's sleeve awkwardly and said, "It was Zhu Gongzi who sent me back." ”

"What?" Zhang Shanqing looked at Jian Xiaozhu in surprise, then at Zhu Yan, then pulled Jian Xiaozhu aside and asked her in a low voice, "Where have you developed?" ”

"Huh?" Jian Xiaozhu looked confused: "Second brother, what do you mean?" ”

Zhang Shanqing is upright: "Xiaozhuzi, the second brother wants to remind you that this Zhu Gongzi's female fate has always been very good, don't fall into it......"

Jian Xiaozhu hurriedly interrupted Zhang Shanqing's words and explained, "You think too much. The actual situation is that I am Bai Guifei's personal maid, he is Bai Guifei's younger brother, and when he went to see Bai Guifei, he happened to meet me and wanted to go home, so he gave me a ride by the way. ”

Zhang Shanqing breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's the case." After thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, and stared at Jian Xiaozhu's face: "Our little bamboo is also quite smart, why didn't anything happen between you." ”

Jian Xiaozhu: "......"

She turned to look at Zhu Yan and found that Zhu Yan was looking at her and Zhang Shanqing coldly. So Jian Xiaozhu walked over and said to him, "Thank you so much today, I'll ...... another day."

However, before Jian Xiaozhu's words were finished, the door of Zhang's mansion opened again, and this time it was Zhang Tiande, whose beer belly was becoming more and more obvious, and the fourth lady, who was soft and moving, and still had charm.

Seeing Jian Xiaozhu, the fourth lady walked in front of her one step ahead of Zhang Tiande, grabbed Jian Xiaozhu's hand, and looked at her with teary eyes: "Zhu'er, can you eat well in the palace?" My lord and I are very worried about you, especially my lord, but I really don't want to eat! ”

Jian Xiaozhu looked at Zhang Tiande, who was getting richer and richer, and said in his heart that he didn't believe that he didn't want to eat without tea.

Zhang Tiande looked Jian Xiaozhu up and down, and nodded: "It's okay, I'm a little fatter." Then, Zhang Tiande's eyes looked at Zhu Yan next to Jian Xiaozhu and asked, "Dare to ask who this is?" ”

Zhang Shanqing preemptively replied: "Dad, this is Zhu Yanzhu Gongzi, he is Bai Guifei's cousin." ”

Zhang Tiande immediately showed a warm smile when he saw the leader's relatives, and said to Zhu Yan: "It turned out to be Zhu Gongzi, but he is really a talent." ”

The fourth lady smiled and said, "Yes, Zhu Gongzi is really handsome, better looking than a woman!" ”

Jian Xiaozhu felt that the air around her was a little colder because of the words of the fourth lady. Zhu Yanben wanted to squeeze out a smile, but when he heard the words of the fourth lady, his eyes immediately became gloomy.

So Jian Xiaozhu hurriedly said, "Zhu Gongzi still has to go home for dinner, let's not delay his time." ”

It's just that Zhang Tiande looked at Zhu Yan enthusiastically: "Since Zhu Gongzi is here, let's have dinner with us at our house." ”

Zhu Yan politely refused: "Thank you, Lord Zhang." But when Miss Zhang goes home today, it should be a reunion with your family, so I won't bother. ”

After that, Zhu Yan nodded to Zhang Tiande, got into the carriage and left.

After Zhu Yan left, Zhang Tiande also looked at Jian Xiaozhu meaningfully: "Zhu'er, you and this Zhu Gongzi?" ”

Jian Xiaozhu immediately replied: "He is Bai Guifei's cousin, so he will send me by the way, we are not familiar with each other!" ”

It was only a little more than a month to leave home and go to the palace, but Jian Xiaozhu always felt that time had passed for a long time. When she returned to the house, she found that the tables and chairs were covered in dust. And Caixiu, who hadn't seen her for a long time, walked in with a bucket and said to Jian Xiaozhu with a smile: "Miss, you can count yourself back." In your absence, the room is always empty. ”

Jian Xiaozhu opened the bed curtain, lay directly on the bed, and sighed: "It's better to go home." ”

While wiping the table with a rag, Caixiu said, "Yes, Miss, it's great that you can go home." In your absence, I miss you! ”

"I miss you too!"

Jian Xiaozhu closed his eyes and fell asleep unconsciously. In the dream, Jian Xiaozhu seemed to have returned to junior high school. The teacher stood on the podium and told everyone that a new classmate had been transferred to the class.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yan walked into the classroom......

"Miss, miss, it's time for dinner."

After being woken up by Caixiu, Jian Xiaozhu looked out the window and found that it was already dark. This made her exclaim, "How did I sleep for so long!" ”

Caixiu said: "It's not too long. After all, Miss, you have worked the road, and the master asked the cooks in the house to cook a lot of delicious food, Miss, you must be hungry. ”

Jian Xiaozhu heard the sound coming from her stomach, so she immediately got up. But when she sat up from the bed, she found a crimson bag peeking out from underneath her.

"Caixiu, what is this?"

However, when Jian Xiaozhu raised his head, he found that Caixiu had already gone out with a bucket. Confused, she opened the bag, only to find that it was a piece of paper.

Jian Xiaozhu saw that a few words were written crookedly on the paper: "Don't trust anyone." ”
