Chapter 48: Two Attitudes
Du Xiaomeng is holding the idea that you won't come back if you leave, while Zhan Qi is holding the idea that you won't come back if you leave; At the same time, both of them hope that after waiting for a long time, Old Man Zhan, who is often confused in his brain and often forgets everything that happened in the previous moment, will forget about her former "daughter-in-law" if he can't see Du Xiaomeng leisurely in front of him, just like forgetting other people and things.
In this regard, the two are surprisingly in agreement. So, Zhan Qi, who wanted to live with Qiusha as before, did not find Du Xiaomeng back as Old Man Zhan expected, and Du Xiaomeng, who had gone to a happy new life, also consciously no longer appeared in the range where Zhan Qi could see her.
After three or two days of calm and calm, when Old Man Zhan was sitting in front of the room basking in the sun, he suddenly asked Steward Yang who was sitting next to him: "Old Yang, Xiaomeng has been back to her parents' house for four days, right?" ”
Steward Yang was stunned for a moment. In the past few days after Du Xiaomeng left, the master didn't say anything about her, and he didn't even mention her name, he thought that the master with a bad memory had forgotten Du Xiaomeng, and he couldn't imagine that the master not only remembered her, but also remembered how many days she left. This is really a very rare thing for a man who has a very bad memory.
Surprised to surprised, Steward Yang still calmly lowered his head and calculated, and replied, "Back to the master, it's been four days." ”
Old Man Zhan squinted his eyes and raised his head to look at the sky, and said to himself, "It's only been four days?" It's not easy for Xiaomeng to go back to her parents' house, it will take several days just to go back and forth, so let's wait. ”
Steward Yang has been following Old Man Zhan since he was a teenager, and when he heard Old Man Zhan's self-talk, he knew what his old man should be thinking about in his heart. Old man Zhan always remembers things related to Du Xiaomeng very clearly, which makes Steward Yang sometimes have to wonder if his master is pretending to be confused, and the performance of the old man at this moment makes the doubts in his heart worse. However, although he was puzzled, he still kept his duty and didn't ask half a sentence that shouldn't be asked.
The day after Du Xiaomeng moved to the new house, Yu Tianzheng brought Yu Xiaorui over for a short visit, and sent a few quilts and sheets as a gift to celebrate the new house.
Quilts and bed sheets are not the luxurious and expensive goods used by wealthy people, but ordinary quilts and bed sheets used by ordinary people. This gift is in line with the identities of Du Xiaomeng and the others as ordinary people, and it is also in line with Yu Tianzheng's always low-key style.
Yu Tianzheng went to find Du Xiaomeng, Zhan Qi knew about it, and through Yu Tianzheng, he also knew where Du Xiaomeng had moved. However, he deliberately let himself ignore everything about Du Xiaomeng, especially Du Xiaomeng's relationship with Yu Tianzheng. Although Du Xiaomeng moved out of the General's Mansion and no longer saw her dangling in front of his eyes, as long as he thought of Du Xiaomeng and Yu Tianzheng, his heart would still be inexplicably blocked, blocking him namelessly.
Out of sight is clean, and the heart does not want to be troubled.
Just when Zhan Qi forced himself not to think about things related to Du Xiaomeng, Xiao Gongzi specially came to visit. Xiao Gongzi's intention was very simple, that is, to enter the new house, and specially came to invite Zhan Qi, a great benefactor, to his new residence to drink the wine. Zhan Qi originally planned to refuse, but Xiao Gongzi was very sincere and repeatedly invited, and finally he reluctantly agreed.
Yu Tianzheng was also one of the invited guests. It just so happened that on the day of the banquet, Zhan Qi and Yu Tianzheng were busy with business together, and after the two were busy, they went to the banquet together.
Coming to the door of the new house, Zhan Qi's footsteps paused. He looked at the ajar door, and thought that the white-eyed wolf who had no conscience and was stingy and had drawn a line with him was inside, and a trace of complicated strange emotions flashed in his heart.
Yu Tianzheng may have hesitated when he heard Zhan Qi's footsteps, he turned his head and glanced at Zhan Qi, his eyes as bright as stars were bent, and he asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhan Qi glanced at the house in front of him twice, and said with some surprise: "This house is quite exquisite. ”
Yu Tianzheng raised his eyebrows, raised his lips upward, and said, "I asked the old housekeeper of the palace to help Xiaomeng find it, it's not bad, right?" ”
Zhan Qi looked at Yu Tianzheng with a stunned gaze. When he spoke just now, there was undisguised intimacy in his tone, and the smile on his face was very different from usual, his kind of smile, Zhan Qi remembered, only when Lu Zhu was alive, he would have that kind of smile towards Lu Zhu.
He and Du Xiaomeng have developed to the point of sincere friendship, right?
Zhan Qi felt sad for no reason, but he smiled on his face and said in a relaxed tone, "The old butler's vision is very good. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Gongzi, who heard the voice, ran out of it and respectfully welcomed Zhan Qi and Yu Tianzheng into the house.
The living room was already full of dishes, and Lin Xinru lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and she didn't dare to stand aside to welcome the guests.
didn't see Du Xiaomeng, Zhan Qi felt surprised, and felt a little empty and uncomfortable in his heart.
Yu Tianzheng looked around the living room and asked, "What about Xiaomeng?" ”
Xiao Gongzi replied: "Back to Your Highness, Xiaomeng went to work in the painting workshop, and she should be back soon." ”
A surprised expression flashed on Yu Tianzheng's face, and then asked, "Xiaomeng went to work in the studio?" When did it happen? ”
Zhan Qi pricked up his ears and listened to the conversation between the two. He was as surprised as Yu Tianzheng that Du Xiaomeng went to work in the workshop, and at the same time, he was even more surprised that Yu Tianzheng didn't know about it. Two people who have reached the point of sincere promise, shouldn't they have nothing to say and nothing to talk about? How could Yu Tianzheng not know Du Xiaomeng's whereabouts? That question succumbed to his heart, but because of Yu Tianzheng's presence, he couldn't ask, so he had to endure it.
Xiao Gongzi respectfully invited the two distinguished guests to take a seat first, and after a while, Du Xiaomeng also came back.
Du Xiaomeng came back with a few painting scrolls, and the clothes on her face and body were dyed with many paints of different colors.
As soon as he came in, Du Xiaomeng smiled at Yu Tianzheng very casually and said, "Tianzheng, you are here." ”
After saying that, she looked at Zhan Qi, put away her smile and saluted: "I've seen the general." ”
Zhan Qi didn't even look at Du Xiaomeng, and replied with an expressionless "um". His appearance is calm, but in his heart, it is as if he has knocked over a five-flavor bottle, and he has all tastes. Her attitude towards Yu Tianzheng is so casual, and she also kisses and calls her name directly; And for him? But he was so alienated and cold that he was even stingy with a smile and was reluctant to give him it, and he also called him a "general" in a clear position. Hum! That's a very clear line!
The two completely different attitudes and treatments made Zhan Qi's heart very unhappy.
