Chapter VII Instructions
Early the next morning, Zhang Jiayi left Shuifu early before dawn, preparing to take advantage of the early hours to quietly return home.
I didn't return yesterday night, I don't know if I was found by my mother, if I found out that I hadn't left the pavilion to stay overnight, I think my mother would be worried and worried.
"Isn't Miss Zhang leaving for breakfast?" I saw Shui Haoyu bring a bowl of white porridge and put it on the table, revealing the fragrance of rice.
In this way, Zhang Jiayi did feel a little hungry.
"But...... I should have gone back earlier, yesterday I came out of the house without telling it, if everyone in the house woke up later, there were many people, and it would be difficult for me to go back at that time. Zhang Jiayi was a little hesitant and embarrassed, frowning and looking at Shui Haoyu.
Shui Haoyu didn't speak, he was silent for a while and then hurriedly ran out, and then brought two buns from the kitchen.
"What Miss Zhang said is not reasonable, fortunately, there are still two buns left in the house, if Miss Zhang doesn't mind, she will take them on the road to satisfy her hunger." Shui Haoyu's move made Zhang Jiayi stunned for a moment, and then took the bun with a smile, it's really good, it's still hot.
After walking for a long time, I finally arrived at Zhang's house, and at this time the sky had already become daylight, and the little maid in the house opened the door and stood outside, seeing that it was Zhang Jiayi who came back from outside, and was a little puzzled.
"Miss? What are you? The janitor didn't dare to draw conclusions at will, but it was too early to tell, and I didn't know how Zhang Jiayi would appear at the door of the house now.
"Oh, I heard that the newly opened shop buns in front of me are doing well, and it just so happened that I got up early today, went out for a walk, and bought some breakfast by the way." Saying that, Zhang Jiayi lifted the bun that Shui Haoyu gave him and shook it twice in front of the little girl.
Since he saw that Zhang Jiayi said so, the little guy believed it and didn't ask too much across the line, so he let Zhang Jiayi in.
This finally fooled the porter, and then as long as he slipped back into the room without being discovered, he could breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhang Jiayi thought about it, and changed her pace and walked back to her room quickly.
Just as Zhang Jiayi returned to the room and untied her clothes and was about to sleep, she suddenly heard the sound of pushing the door, which startled Zhang Jiayi.
"Who!"
The man who pushed the door in was also startled and trembled. Zhang Jiayi slowed down and looked at it, it turned out to be Xiaorui.
Xiaorui saw that Zhang Jiayi was back, and she was surprised and delighted.
"Miss, you're back! I thought you were still in the water ......" When Xiaorui was about to say "Shuifu", she was gagged by Zhang Jiayi, held back, gestured with her hand and made a "shhh" gesture, and looked out of the door cautiously, for fear of being heard.
Xiaorui is also clever, and soon understood what Zhang Jiayi meant, and held back what she was about to say.
"Miss, Madame, please come over." After relieving herself, Xiaorui remembered the business she had come to this time.
Zhang Jiayi immediately panicked after hearing this, and she was afraid that she was a thief.
"Could it be that I didn't return last night and was discovered by my mother?"
But looking at Xiaorui's expression, it seems that Xiaorui doesn't know why Wang Guiying suddenly looked for herself.
"Xiaorui, dress up for me." Zhang Jiayi took a deep breath and looked like she was going to die.
"Madame, Mademoiselle is here." Xiaorui took Zhang Jiayi to Wang Guiying's room, rushed to the house, opened the door, glanced at Zhang Jiayi, and left.
Zhang Jiayi took a deep breath, walked in, and listed a smile.
"You're here." Wang Guiying's words were tepid, I couldn't hear his emotions, standing in front of Wang Guiying, Zhang Jiayi was a little unconfident, didn't know how to speak, and there was no lack of apprehension in her heart.
"I don't know why my mother changed Jiayi so early in the morning?" When Zhang Jiayi said this, her voice seemed to tremble because of her weak heart.
I saw Wang Guiying get up slowly, didn't speak, walked to the cabinet, leaned over and took out a wooden box with exquisite workmanship from the cabinet.
"Here are all the shops I have, and the dowry when you get married, I have prepared them for you and put them here, and now they are all in your own custody." Wang Guiying patted the box, waved her hand at Zhang Jiayi, and motioned for Zhang Jiayi to come closer.
Wang Guiying's sudden arrival really flattered Zhang Jiayi.
"Mother, why is this, I haven't married yet, and my qualifications are still shallow, and I don't know anything about business, so it's not too late to give me this dowry when I get married?"
Zhang Jiayi really had no intention of taking these things, but Wang Guiying's move also made Zhang Jiayi strongly feel what kind of existence mother's love is.
Obviously, Wang Guiying has already made up his mind since he took out this wooden box.
As he spoke, he forcibly picked up the wooden box from the table and put it in Zhang Jiayi's hand, which made Zhang Jiayi a little confused.
"Jiayi, although you are a daughter, you must also know how to be self-reliant, these shops, although you can't operate them now, but if you concentrate on studying, I believe that with your ability, you can take care of everything.
And this dowry, sooner or later, it will always be given to you, if you marry someone in the future, and have these things by your side, how can they be more polite to you, and you will not be wronged......"
I don't know why, Wang Guiying's words today are much more than usual, and she said a lot of big truths to Zhang Jiayi in a serious tone, Zhang Jiayi looked at Wang Guiying's worried face, and her heart was a little sad.
"What's there to worry about, isn't there still a mother here? If there is anything, I will run back to Zhang's Mansion in a big deal, who dares to say more! Zhang Jiayi smiled and held Wang Guiying's hand, comforted Wang Guiying, and asked her not to think so much about things in the future, which only increased her troubles.
Wang Guiying smiled and patted Zhang Jiayi's hand, but there was some melancholy in her eyes.
"Silly daughter, how is my mother, there will always be a day when she gets old, she can protect you for a while, but she can't protect you for a lifetime, what should happen in the future, the most important thing is to rely on yourself."
"Where, my mother is still young. Looking at the temperament and appearance, where can you see that I have given birth to such a yellow flower girl. These words made Wang Guiying very happy, and scratched Zhang Jiayi's nose with her hand, her eyes were full of tenderness.
"Okay, you're poor, take this, you haven't returned overnight, feel like go back to your room to rest."
Saying that, Wang Guiying handed over the wooden box to Zhang Jiayi's hand again, and her eyes signaled Zhang Jiayi not to refuse, so Zhang Jiayi didn't shirk more.
"Then in that case, Jiayi will go back to the room first." With that, Zhang Jiayi stepped out of the room across the threshold, and just after going out, she heard a loud "bang" behind her.
Zhang Jiayi turned her head to look and saw Wang Guiying spitting out a mouthful of black blood at this time and collapsed to the ground.
