Zhan Qi returned home in the evening, and as soon as he stepped into the door, he saw Zhan Qi standing on the side, staring at him with an unhappy face.

Zhan Qi, who was surprised, paused involuntarily, then walked over to Zhan Qi, smiled and reached out to pat his little sister's head, and asked, "Standing here so obediently today waiting for the eldest brother to come back, do you have anything to say to the eldest brother?" ”

Zhan Li raised her head and stared at her eldest brother's face for a long time, before she let go of the fist that had been clenched, threw the warm silver in her palm onto her brother's body, and said sullenly with a straight face: "Here you go!" ”

"Little sister, why do you give me silver?" Zhan Qi took the ingot of silver and looked at Zhan Qi's stiff face in puzzlement. Usually, she is the only one who asks him for money, why did she give him money today? Give back a tael of silver so much?

"It's Sister Du who asked me to hand it over to you. She said that this was the accommodation fee for her stay in the General's Palace. Zhan Li gave him a puffed white look, "Big brother, you are such a stingy ghost!" ”

Zhan Qi reacted very tightly and clenched the ingot of silver, and asked rhetorically, "Did Du Xiaomeng ask you to give it to me?" ”

Zhan Li nodded and replied in the affirmative: "Yes." ”

Zhan Qi's face immediately sank. That little girl is endless! I just said a word to her unintentionally that day, and she just talked about it in a stingy way until now, and threw him accommodation money?

Zhan Qi couldn't wait to crush the silver in his hand. He turned around and was about to go inside, but Zhan Li called out to him: "Sister Du has moved out this morning." ”

His body stiffened, stood in place for a while, and finally raised his steps and walked in the direction of Jicui Garden.

The dead silence of the Cucui Garden, immersed in the dusk and sunset.

Zhan Qi walked into the garden and pushed open the door, the room was quiet, he stood at the door and looked in, the light was not very sufficient, but it was enough to see the environment inside.

The place where a few boxes had been placed in the outhouse was empty, and the tables and chairs were all neatly arranged, and it was obvious that they had been cleaned up.

After standing at the doorway for a while, he walked to the inner room.

As soon as I entered, I saw a half-open wooden box on the dresser, and there were five taels of silver lined up next to the box. The wooden box and the silver were placed in a particularly conspicuous place as if they were afraid that others would not be able to see them, so that those who came in could see them at a glance.

Zhan Qi stepped forward to open the half-open wooden box and saw the jewelry inside. When I looked around, the gauze tent on the bed was hung up, and the bed and quilt were all cleaned up, as if no one had ever lived here.

Nameless anger rushed up from the bottom of his heart, and Zhan Qi punched the dresser fiercely. What is this? Is it possible to draw a line with him? deliberately picked him to leave when he was not at home, and walked so thoroughly without even saying a word to him, what did he think of him? Passers-by I don't know on the street outside? Or are they old and dead enemies?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he felt, Zhan Qi grabbed the wooden box on the table and threw it to the ground, and the wooden box suddenly fell into several shapeless pieces of rotten wood, and the jewelry inside was scattered all over the ground; He swept everything on the dressing table to the floor, and rolled a few ingots of silver into different corners. In this way, he was still relieved, so he simply threw all the tables and chairs in the room that could be dropped, until they all fell to the ground, and then he threw open the door with a black face and walked away.

Zhan Qi walked out of Jicui Garden and saw Steward Yang who didn't know when he was standing outside the garden.

With the usual smile on his face, Steward Yang stood aside with his hands down and said in a non-hurried tone, "General, my lord, please come to Nianciyuan to see him." ”

Zhan Qi responded, took a few steps forward and turned back to Steward Yang and said, "Uncle Yang, seal the Jicui Garden, don't clean up the things inside, let it be!" ”

"Yes." Steward Yang didn't say anything superfluous, and nodded very calmly.

When he arrived at Nianci Garden, Old Man Zhan was already sitting at the table with a gloomy face, waiting for Zhan Qi's arrival.

As soon as he saw his son enter the door, Old Man Zhan slammed his head and covered his face: "You bastard!" I asked you to keep Xiaomeng, why did she leave all of a sudden? Did you say something excessive to someone that broke her heart? She deliberately chose to come to me when you were not there to tell me that she wanted to go back to her parents' house, if she didn't want to see you, how could she do that? ”

Zhan Qi was angry at his father, and he had a headache and was upset. He frowned and suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said, "Dad, my son has no ability to make people sad when he asks himself. Even if she wants to be sad, it will only be for His Royal Highness the Prince, and the person she wants to see will only be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Old Man Zhan was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted again, "Xiaomeng, she likes His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Zhan Qi touched his aching head and said, "I don't know if she likes His Royal Highness the Prince, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told me plainly that he likes Du Xiaomeng." ”

Hearing his son say this, Old Man Zhan's heart was relieved. He glared at his son, raised his voice and said, "Now it's just His Highness's wishful thinking that he likes Xiao Meng, and Xiao Meng didn't say that he likes him!" I look at Xiao Meng's performance all the time, she didn't think of His Highness's head at all, pray, you hurry up and pick up Xiao Meng back, don't let her stay outside and let His Highness have a chance! ”

"Daddy!" Zhan Qi glanced at Old Man Zhan helplessly, and said with a serious and firm expression on his face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is my good brother, he likes Du Xiaomeng, how can I rob my brother's sweetheart so morally?" Besides, I don't have any thoughts about Du Xiaomeng, I won't fight with His Highness or anything. ”

Old Man Zhan wanted to say something, but he looked at Zhan Qi's face for a while, and finally didn't say anything, just waved his hand and said, "I'm tired and want to rest for a while, you go out." ”

Zhan Qi was a little surprised that his father didn't beat or scold, so he easily spared him, he was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and said, "Then Dad, you have a good rest, I'll go first." ”

Outside, it was already dark, and the subordinates in the general's mansion who were in charge of lighting the lamps were lighting them one after another to drive away the darkness that was coming.

Standing in the dim swaying light, Zhan Qi only felt that the temples on both sides jumped suddenly, making him upset. The heart, in this darkness, seems to be hollowed out little by little, he wants to catch what is gradually hollowed out, but there is no way to catch it, he can only let the heart be slowly hollowed out. He stood in front of the Nianci Garden for a while, gathered his attention, and slowly walked towards the Avon Garden with some tired steps.

"Master, Miss Du, she's gone, do you know where she went?"

These were the first words he said to Qiu Sha when he stepped into the Avon Garden. When Qiu Sha said this, she had a caring expression on her face, and her tone was also full of concern.

The temples on both sides jumped harder. Qiusha was still talking about something next, but Zhan Qi only saw her rouge-coated little mouth closing one by one, but he couldn't hear what she was saying.

Qiu Sha said for a while, stepped forward and shook his hand, and asked, "Master, I heard that Miss Du moved out after buying a house outside, didn't she?" ”

Zhan Qi finally heard this sentence clearly.

As soon as he heard about Du Xiaomeng, he was irritated for no reason, he shook off Qiu Sha's hand vigorously, and said loudly in annoyance: "How do I know?!" ”

Qiu Sha stared at him blankly, and the hand that had been thrown away froze in mid-air and forgot to take it back.

Zhan Qi realized that he had lost his temper in front of Qiu Sha, he reached out apologetically and hugged Qiu Sha into his arms, explaining: "I'm sorry, something happened in the court and in the military camp today, which made me anxious and my heart hurt. ”

Qiu Sha shook her head gently, buried her face in Zhan Qi's chest, and said understandingly: "It's me who is not good, knowing that my master has come back from a busy day outside to rest, and I have to talk endlessly in front of my lord, which will only add to my lord's troubles." ”

Smelling the familiar aroma on Qiu Sha's body, Zhan Qi's chin was against her smooth forehead, and he hugged her hand with a little more force, and said in a deep voice: "Qiu Sha, it is enough to have you by my side in this life." ”

Such a sentence seems to be promising something to Qiusha, and it seems to be cutting off some thoughts in my heart that even I can't figure out.

Qiu Sha snuggled meekly in his arms and said softly, "Master, Qiu Sha will always be with you." ”

Zhan Qi smiled and gently imprinted a kiss on Qiu Sha's forehead. He secretly said to himself in his heart: In the future, he will live a good life with Qiusha as before.

Du Xiaomeng is an outsider who broke in and messed up his life, and now that this outsider has been withdrawn from his life, his life can return to the normal track of the past. Before she appeared, he was doing well; She's gone, and he's sure he'll be doing as well as he used to!
