Chapter 25: The Market
The originally happy atmosphere was shattered by Zhang Shanqing's words in an instant.
On the table, there are still a lot of half-moved dishes left. Everyone stopped the chopsticks in their hands when Zhang Shanqing was speaking, such as Zhang Shanqi, whose hand holding the chopsticks was frozen in mid-air, looking at the protagonist of the incident in a daze. And the third lady just glanced at Zhang Shanqing lightly, then took a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and continued to eat as usual.
Seeing the actions of the third lady, Zhang Tiande was a little helpless: "Huiru, look, he is like this, and you don't care about him." ”
The third lady said lightly: "Let them make their own decisions about the affairs of young people." I was also tired, so I left first. ”
After that, the third lady and Zhang Shanchun left the banquet together. Zhang Shanqing also left after him, and when he got up, he bumped the stool very loudly because of anger.
So, the dinner party ended unhappily.
After it was over, Jian Xiaozhu just wanted to hurry back to the room and continue sleeping, but unexpectedly, Zhang Tiande called her to the study at home.
When Jian Xiaozhu entered the study, he saw that Zhang Tiande was still angry about Zhang Shanqing's matter and said: "This stinky boy has reached the age when he should get married, and he won't give me peace all day long!" I'm so! ”
After that, Zhang Tiande said to Jian Xiaozhu again: "Don't learn from your second brother!" ”
Jian Xiaozhu was afraid that Zhang Tiande would arrange a blind date for her, so she said: "The second brother didn't mean to contradict you, that Miss Liu's second brother has never seen it, what if the two can't get along?" This kind of thing cannot be forced. ”
Zhang Tiande was angry: "What can't be compatible!" Miss Liu's gentle and virtuous lady is far famous, and I heard that she is also a talented woman who is proficient in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting. ”
Jian Xiaozhu whispered: "Wang Po sells melons and boasts!" ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Tiande was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Look at you, if you don't study well, you will speak like your second brother." Let me tell you, Miss Liu's excellence is not blown, but the people who went to her house to propose relatives lined up from East Street to West Street! ”
Jian Xiaozhu: "Then will she look down on the second brother?" ”
Zhang Tiande was unhappy again: "Why can't you look at it?" Your second brother is now a captain of the Iron Cavalry, and he will have a few more military exploits in the future, and his future is immeasurable. ”
So Jian Xiaozhu nodded: "Then they are indeed talented and beautiful, and they are quite compatible." However, is that Miss Liu beautiful? ”
However, Zhang Tiande did not answer Jian Xiaozhu's question, but said: "Don't talk about your second brother, I am looking for you mainly to know how you diagnosed Bai Guifei with insect disease at that time." ”
"This ......"
While Jian Xiaozhu was thinking about how to explain, Zhang Tiande continued: "I remember you said that you read the medical book I opened that day, and you made a guess about Bai Guifei's condition. Indeed, I received a letter from the palace that morning, which stated the symptoms of Bai Guifei's poisoning. However, I looked through several medical books that documented the poison. There are many kinds of poison in it, how can you tell which one it is? ”
"Dad, you were in too much of a hurry that day, so there was a book you didn't put back and stayed on that page, and I ......"
It's just that Zhang Tiande looked at Jian Xiaozhu with disbelief on his face: "You haven't studied medicine, and even, after you were eight years old, you haven't read anymore." ”
After all, knowing her daughter Mo Ruo's father, Jian Xiaozhu knew that no matter how much she said, she couldn't convince Zhang Tiande, so she simply said: "Dad, fortune and misfortune will be transformed into each other." You see, I've been unlucky for so many years, so it's okay to suddenly become smart now. ”
"But ......"
"Dad, don't ask again. There are many things in the world that cannot be explained, such as why I was stupid for many years, why did I suddenly recover. These are providential, so don't pay too much attention to them, and don't get to the bottom of it. After all, I can't tell you anything more. If you keep asking, I guess I'll have to continue to be stupid again. ”
Zhang Tiande listened to Jian Xiaozhu's words, and could only nod helplessly: "Indeed, it is a miracle that you suddenly got better." Forget it, I won't ask more, as long as you're okay. By the way, I remember, before you entered the palace, you said to me, do you want to see Ruohe? ”
Hearing this name, Jian Xiaozhu realized that she unconsciously seemed to have forgotten this time bomb related to their family's fate for a long time, so she nodded: "Yes, I miss Sister Ruohe very much." ”
Zhang Tiande said: "It just so happens that I'm going to visit your uncle tomorrow, so you can come with me." ”
Returning to the house from Zhang Tiande, Jian Xiaozhu only felt sleepy. She simply took a shower and planned to go to bed, only to find that the red bag and paper balls she had left on the table were gone.
However, Jian Xiaozhu didn't care, just thought it was a prank, and went to sleep.
On the second day, Jian Xiaozhu was still in a state of confusion, so she was called up by Caixiu. When she walked out of the courtyard, she ran into Zhang Shanqing, who was waiting for her.
Zhang Shanqing obviously didn't sleep well, and there were thick dark circles around his eyes. This made Jian Xiaozhu concerned: "Second brother, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, I can't die."
"Did you come to me for something?"
"Dad said he had a temporary matter today, so let me take you to Uncle's house."
Since Zhang Ruohe's home was not far from Zhang's house, Jian Xiaozhu and Zhang Shanqing did not prepare a carriage, but walked over.
This is the first time Jian Xiaozhu has walked in the market since coming here. I saw that the street market here was very similar to the appearance of the street market she had visited in the tourist area of the film and television city. However, the height between the buildings here is not as neat as in the tourist area, but row upon row, and the height is different.
On both sides of the market, there are tea shops, wine shops, butcher shops, cloth shops, pharmacies, etc. On the way, Jian Xiaozhu saw a lot of vendors with carts and stalls, so she asked Zhang Shanqing: "Second brother, what snacks do you think are more delicious here?" ”
Zhang Shanqing: "Do you want to eat?" ”
Jian Xiaozhu nodded a little embarrassedly. So Zhang Shanqing said: "Let's go, the second brother will take you to eat the crispy meatloaf of Xiangyunpu, I remember that you used to like to eat this very much, I often buy it and take it home for you!" ”
However, when he arrived at Xiangyun Shop, Jian Xiaozhu saw a long queue outside this small storefront. Jian Xiaozhu thought of the Internet celebrity stores that had to queue up for a long time in modern times, and immediately wanted to pull Zhang Shanqing away. Until a strong aroma of food emanated from the shop, Jian Xiaozhu swallowed his saliva and pulled Zhang Shanqing to the back of the line and lined up.
This team moved much faster than Jian Xiaozhu imagined. It didn't take long for them to be at the front of the line. This made Jian Xiaozhu say happily: "Great, I didn't expect it to be so fast." ”
However, he was only happy for a second, and when Jian Xiaozhu and Zhang Shanqing finally lined up at the front of the line, the shopkeeper said, "This is the last crispy meatloaf today." ”
Jian Xiaozhu originally wanted to say that the crispy meatloaf was half of us, but the cake here was very small, just like a modern mochi ball, extremely small, but full and almost ball-shaped, and it was difficult to break it in half.
So Zhang Shanqing took the money and said, "Little bamboo, this is for you!" ”
But Jian Xiaozhu was polite: "How embarrassing is this......"
However, before Jian Xiaozhu's words were finished, suddenly, a hand holding a copper plate passed through the middle of them, handed the money to the boss and said, "I want this crispy meatloaf." ”
When this hand got the crispy meatloaf wrapped in a paper bag and wanted to withdraw, Zhang Shanqing grabbed the other party's wrist: "You want to cut in line?" ”
It's just that the owner of this hand suddenly stretched out his other hand and slapped Zhang Shanqing in the face: "You disciple, don't you know that men and women don't kiss?" ”
