No one in the room cared about Zhang Ruoling's departure, Duanmu Fei looked around, the east room was in a mess at the moment, some of the boxes were open, some were closed, and you could see the clothes, brocade quilts, utensils, calligraphy and paintings and so on in the boxes.

The things have been packed up, and after Mama Wang and Yuwei checked them one by one, they instructed their mother-in-law to close the boxes and move the boxes out one by one...... Only those books and calligraphy and paintings were left in the end, and they were guarded by a few personal maids, and they moved out with their mother-in-law in person.

Obviously, in Qi's eyes, those jewelry, clothes and the like are not as important as these books, calligraphy and paintings.

The three girls inevitably noticed that Qi was holding a bamboo roll in her own hand, and she was so solemn that she naturally cherished the calligraphy and paintings in it.

Han Xing immediately remembered something, blinked, and asked curiously: "Mrs. Zhang, this is the "Polo Picture" that Madame painted a few days ago?" ”

Hearing the polo picture, Wuyang was immediately aroused a little interested, she had already heard from Han Xing, on the day of the polo match, Qi drew an indescribable "Lady Polo Picture", and regretted that she couldn't see it with her own eyes, but now the opportunity has come. She had long wanted to see how scarlet sister and Feipian were in the painting.

The three girls all looked at Qi Shi with burning eyes, who would think, Qi Shi shook his head and looked at the scroll in his hand, "This is the legacy of Miss Chu before her death." ”

This answer was a bit of a surprise for the three girls.

There was silence for a moment, Wuyang stood motionless, looking at the scroll in Qi's hand in a daze, his eyes were bright and dark, and with a flick of his fingers, there seemed to be a lot of ...... in his eyes

"I specially sent someone to borrow this painting from Xuan Guogong, and it was the last painting of Miss Chu before her death." Qi didn't notice Wuyang's abnormality, her eyes were looking at Duanmu Fei, this painting was specially borrowed by her to give Duanmu Fei a reward.

When Wuyang heard this, his expression became more complicated, and he said slowly: "Mrs. Zhang, but a "Waterfall Map"? ”

Others may not know this "Waterfall Picture", Wuyang is Chu Qingci's best friend, she naturally knows.

"Exactly." Qi looked at Wuyang with some surprise and nodded. Not long after she came to the capital, Chu Qingci had already passed away, so she hadn't heard of the relationship between Wuyang and Chu Qingci.

Han Xing raised his eyebrows, vaguely remembering that not long ago, after his cousin changed the painting for the Qi family in the Qinglan Palace, the Qi family had mentioned Chu Qingci's "Waterfall Picture", which was also aroused a little curiosity.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Her Royal Highness the fourth princess, the four girls of Duanmu, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun." Qi Shi smiled slightly, she wanted to show Duanmu Fei the painting several times, but there was no suitable time, so she simply invited her directly, "After settling down, let's enjoy this painting together, what do the three of you think?" ”

This sentence was exactly what Han Xing wanted, and she couldn't wait to respond.

Duanmu Fei nodded on the side like pounding garlic, and his black and white eyes seemed to be a clear spring, clear to the bottom.

That's great! Duanmu Fei clasped her hands expectantly, she hadn't seen this "Waterfall Picture" for a long time.

Her big eyes seemed to be able to speak, and Qi couldn't help but smile when she saw it, and her eyes were softer, and at this moment, all the bad things of the Zhang family were left behind by her.

Everyone was busy, and even Duanmufei volunteered to help Qi hold a small box full of small seals and stones, and the cautious appearance seemed as if she was holding a treasure, and Mrs. Zhang, Wuyang and Hanxing couldn't help but laugh, and exchanged a light smile with each other.

Within an hour, those things were moved to Xiangzhuyuan in the northwest corner of the palace, which was a small remote palace room with a somewhat shabby layout.

As soon as you enter the hall, you can smell a faint musty smell coming to your nose, it is clear that this room has been idle for a long time, and the furniture inside is somewhat half-new.

Wuyang explained a little helplessly: "Mrs. Zhang, most of the palace rooms in the palace are already occupied, so I can only vacate here for the time being. "Even these pieces of furniture were temporarily ordered by Wuyang to move here yesterday.

This room is indeed not as rich and elegant as Hongtao Xuan, but it is also a sparrow, although it is small, and it has all kinds of organs.

All it takes is a little decoration to give it a new look.

"I think it's good here," Qi said with a smile, "There is a bamboo forest in the back, which is convenient for me to recite poems and paint, and it is very elegant." ”

"Yes, the one outside is still Xiangfei bamboo." Duanmu Fei nodded in agreement, his eyes shining, "Such a good yard has been abandoned." ”

Xiangfei bamboo is very precious, the marks on the bamboo itself can be said to be a natural decoration, can be made into Xiangfei curtains, pen barrels and folding fans and so on. Duanmu Fei felt a little itchy when she thought about it, otherwise, she discussed with Wuyang and asked her to cut a piece of Xiangfei bamboo and take it back to make a fan.

Looking at Duanmu Fei's small appearance with brilliant eyes, Qi hooked his lips and smiled, and an idea came to his mind, proposing: "Anyway, this house hasn't been cleaned up for the time being, so let's go to the bamboo forest behind us to sit down, just drink tea and enjoy paintings." ”

This proposal was echoed by the three girls in unison.

The master gave an order, and those maids and women quickly took action, moved tables and chairs, and after a while, they set up two big cases outside the bamboo forest, four sour branch wood rose chairs, and prepared a small red clay stove to start boiling water and making tea.

It was just over half the hour, and the weather was a little hot, but the backyard was very quiet, and the dense bamboo forest blocked the blazing sunlight out, and only the rustle of the bamboo leaves in the wind was heard endlessly.

The four of them all breathed in the fresh air of the courtyard with a comfortable expression, and felt light.

Seeing that the water in the pot was boiling, the maid hurriedly went to make a cup of Pu'er tea for everyone, while Qi personally opened the roll in his hand, took out the picture scroll placed in it, and carefully spread it on one of the large tables.

On the painting paper, the overlapping mountains are towering and continuous, high and low, the mountains are steep in the distance, the trees are overgrown in the near place, the distance and the near are distinct, at first glance, seven or eight silver waterfalls rush from the highest point of the mountain peaks, the flow goes straight down to 3,000 feet, the stream flows slowly in the mountain stream, and flows straight to the front...... The clear water seemed to be within reach. There is both the urgency of the waterfall and the slowness of the stream; There are both the darkness of the mountains and the light of the water, which can be described as urgent and slow, dark and bright, complementing each other.

If you look closely, you will find that the seven or eight waterfalls are clearly the same waterfall, winding down from high to low along the mountain, with nine bends and eighteen bends......

Every time Qi looked at this painting, he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

The composition of this painting is magnificent and precise, the brush and ink are precise, the charm is bright, free and elegant, and it has a lofty and far-reaching style, which makes the viewer respect.

Qi can imagine that the big girl Chu who can draw this "Waterfall Picture" is a girl with an open heart and a careful heart.

It's a pity that I haven't had the chance to meet that amazing and talented girl from the Chu family!

"Smack!"

Han Xing let out a crisp applause, and was the first to praise loudly: "Sister Emperor, cousin Scarlet, this "Waterfall Picture" is really well drawn!" ”

"That's nature." Wuyang said softly, his eyes were still looking at the painting, his eyes were a little dazed, and his eyes were glowing with a slight water. This is the first time she has seen this picture, and she originally said that she would show it to herself after she finished drawing it......

Everyone's eyes lingered on the painting, and no one noticed Duanmu's sad face.

This painting is still the last step, it is a picture of clouds and mountains after the rain, and it should also add layers of clouds and mist in the mountains, and the smoke and clouds are full of paper, so as to achieve the artistic conception of "the mountains are out of the clouds, endless".

It's a pity. Duanmu sighed slightly in his heart, his eyes fell on the painting stupidly, and his ears didn't hear what was going on outside the window.

When she came back to her senses, she suddenly found that only herself and the Qi family were left around, and Wuyang and Hanxing disappeared at some point.

Duanmu blinked stupidly, his mouth opened slightly, and he almost pinched himself to see if he was dreaming.

Qi Shi saw this scene in his eyes on the side, covered his mouth and smiled slightly, and explained: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said that she wanted to go for a walk in the bamboo forest, and Her Royal Highness the fourth princess accompanied her......"

Even if Qi didn't know that Wuyang and Chu Qingci were close friends, they could see that Wuyang's mood seemed to fluctuate a little, Qi didn't ask much, and went for a walk in the forest with the Wuyang sisters.

Duanmu Fei subconsciously looked at the painting again, his eyes fell on the inscription in the lower left corner of the drawing paper, his eyes were slightly frozen, he vaguely guessed something, and his consciousness drifted away again.

"Master, wait for the slave to go to the ......"

At this moment, the little maid's nervous voice and the man's displeased scolding suddenly came from the front.

Qi frowned slightly, and knew that the maid probably couldn't stop Zhang Wenxuan, and sure enough, after a while, Zhang Wenxuan bypassed the room in front of him and came violently.

Zhang Wenxuan is tall, with sideburns like a cut, wearing a Heavenly Master Qingweaving Five Bats Holding Shoutuan Flower Straight Jacket, with silk wrapped around his waist, and a purple embroidered purse and a chicken blood mark hanging on his waist, he is dressed very formally.

Anyone who sees him has to praise him for being a good man, however, some people are beautiful on the surface, but their essence is filthy!

Qi Shi looked at him, his eyes flashed, and then he regained his composure.

Mama Wang on the side made a gesture, and the little maid who came with Zhang Wenxuan retreated first.

"Ruoyun." Zhang Wenxuan strode towards the Qi clan and called softly, his elegant face could not hide his panic and anxiety.

Although Zhang Wenxuan also knew that the Qi family begged Wuyang to move to another palace to live, he didn't expect her to move so fast, and it was only two days before he moved away when he was not in Hongtaoxuan, if it weren't for his daughter Zhang Ruoling hurriedly running to inform him, he was afraid that he would not know at this time.

As soon as Zhang Wenxuan got the news, he hurried over.

A few days ago, he had a big quarrel with the Qi family twice, but he still didn't expect that things would be so big...... The Qi family really wants to reconcile with him!

"Ruoyun, what do you want?!" Zhang Wenxuan's eyes were slightly red with anger, at this moment, he was angry, ashamed and annoyed in his heart, and he could no longer maintain his usual demeanor, "Now that you are making such a fuss, where is the face of the Zhang family?!" ”

I'm afraid that in half a day, the entire palace will know that the Qi family has moved out of Hongtaoxuan, what will others think of his Zhang family, and what will they think of themselves? !

said that this was someone else's family matter, Duanmu Fei was hesitating whether to avoid it, but saw Zhang Wenxuan suddenly raise his hand and point at him, and said: "Ruoyun, just because you listen to a few provocative words from this little girl, you are going to make a fuss like this...... You're such an adult, don't you know how to tell right from wrong?! ”

"......" Duanmu scarlet twitched the corners of his eyes, and he changed his mind immediately.

Everyone else pointed at her nose and disciplined her, what else did she avoid!

Qi looked at Zhang Wenxuan with a calm expression, in the past three days, she has thought a lot, every step of her is not impulsive, it is deliberate, she is alone in the Zhang family, and the Zhang family has nothing worthy of her nostalgia.

"Zhang Wenxuan," Qi said unhurriedly, "If you don't agree to reconcile and leave, then we will be righteous." ”

Qi said indifferently, as if she was saying something completely irrelevant to her to someone who had nothing to do with her.

"......" Zhang Wenxuan was dumbfounded, and his eyes were almost dumbfounded. Half of his life went smoothly, everything was on the path he expected step by step according to his wishes, but he didn't expect that suddenly everything was shattered and turned into nothing.

Qi looked at the Xiangfei bamboo forest in front of him, and said lightly: "My life has been calculated in vain," the most beautiful and brilliant years of her life were buried in the Zhang family, "I don't owe the Zhang family, it's the Zhang family, you owe me." ”

If she hadn't married into the Zhang family, in this life, she would have lived a free life, instead of working hard, but she didn't even have a child.

Qi's words are colder than one word, and each word is more indifferent than one word, as if the entanglement of husband and wife for more than ten years has disappeared in just a few words.

Three days ago, after Duanmufei left Hongtaoxuan, Qi specially ordered Mama Wang to invite Imperial Doctor Li from Tai Hospital.

Imperial Physician Li checked the nine and incense in the incense burner, and said that the Ming fern in the incense is cold, and it is not easy to get pregnant with three fennel to strengthen its coldness, so that smelling it for a long time will make the woman's physique weak and cold and not easy to get pregnant, and the decoction she takes on weekdays contains Xingling grass, which is medicinal hot, and the medicine is extremely fierce, which will make the body more deficient.

On the same day, she directly sent someone to call Zhang Wenxuan over and confront him face to face, Zhang Wenxuan did not admit it, and angrily said that she would go back to Huaibei to find a pharmacy that opened decoction to settle accounts...... However, no matter how much Zhang Wenxuan pretends, he can't deceive the Qi family who is now bright-eyed.

When she questioned him, his momentary weakness and wandering made Qi sure that he knew about this matter and that he had lied to himself.

Qi is not a fool, but when she thought of her marriage into the Zhang family more than ten years ago, what did she not understand?!

Since she went to Zhang's house for a banquet and was bumped by Zhang Wenxuan, it was already a well-laid game, and she was blindfolded when she was in the game.

At that time, she immediately proposed peace and divorce to Zhang Wenxuan.

Of course Zhang Wenxuan would not agree, the two parted happily without saying a few words, Zhang Wenxuan threw his sleeves and left, only to let Qi calm down......

However, what Zhang Wenxuan doesn't understand is that Qi is very "calm" now, and he has never been more calm and clear than ever in the past ten years. She has been confused for more than ten years, and now it is time to wake up.

Qi looked at Zhang Wenxuan, who was a few steps away, as indifferent as if he was looking at a stranger, and said slowly: "Tian is Mrs. Tai's niece, and she is in love with you since childhood. It's just that the Tian family was raided, and she could only become an official slave, even if the Zhang family ransomed her back, her identity was still a lowly status, not only could she not be the wife of the Zhang family, but she couldn't even be the main room with others. ”

She...... How did she know?! Zhang Wenxuan's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard this, his handsome face could no longer maintain his usual gentleness and elegance, but the embarrassment of being pierced by someone.

Although he knew the truth earlier, although he had already died, Qi still felt as if his heart had been stabbed again.

Looking back on the past, her past ten years have been ridiculous!

Qi continued: "You want to marry the Tian family, but the Tian family can only be a concubine, and you are afraid that the Tian family will not have a good time as a concubine, so you can't marry a high-born woman, but you can't choose a woman who is too low, has a big temper, and has a bad temperament, so I fell into your ......eyes" Qi's heart was painful, but he still opened the wound bloodily little by little, "My background, although I am not worthy of a family like the Zhang family, but I am also an upright Shilin family...... For you, I'm afraid it's the most suitable person. ”

Duanmu Fei listened quietly, she only knew these details at this moment, and suddenly felt that it was not bad for the emperor to give marriage, at least she and Feng Yan were in the same boat for a long time...... Hmm, maybe she should be nicer to Feng Yan?

Mama Wang and the eldest girl Yuwei on the side were also dumbfounded, they knew that the old man had drugged his wife and caused her to be infertile for many years, but they didn't expect that there was such a terrible truth behind this.

Zhang Wenxuan's eyes flickered, and he had no choice but to do so.

When his cousin was convicted, if he just abandoned his relationship with her, he would be a person with little affection. He is the heir of the Zhang family, the future heir of the Zhang family, and the family and responsibilities do not allow him to be reckless, he wants both, and the only way is this.

Since he married Qi, he has never treated her lightly, and he has respected her for more than ten years, entrusting her to give her a feed, and even his cousin has been respectful to her, and has never exceeded the rules.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Qi's mouth, he closed his eyes, and quickly calmed down again, "It has been a calculation between you and me from the beginning, and I have had enough of it for more than ten years." Her eyes were dark and deep, as if she wanted to suck someone in, "Harmony or righteousness, can you choose one?" ”

Qi is not a stupid person, but she is simple-minded, drunk with calligraphy and painting, and ignores the sinister nature of people's hearts, but after she knew that she had been drugged, the causes and consequences actually understood when she thought about it.

"Ruoyun ......" Zhang Wenxuan's brows furrowed deeply, not understanding why the Qi family had to insist on making peace, "Haven't we had a good life all these years?!" ”

That's right, their family has been doing well, husband and wife respect each other like guests, father and son are filial, isn't this good?!

"It's you, not me." Qi's tone was still unhurried, but extremely sharp, "I have no children, you and Tian's children can be recorded in my name, and they will inherit the head of the family in the future." You have been wishful in your life, but I am just a 'brocade robe' that you wear outside, in order to fulfill your and Tian's love and affection, a hundred years of love. ”

"I originally thought that although I had no children, you only had one concubine, not like other men who had three wives and four concubines, and you could be regarded as a gentleman, but I didn't expect it to be ......."

Qi didn't say the final "defeat", but everyone present understood what she had not said.

"Rustling ......"

After Qi's words, there was silence all around, only the rustle of the wind blowing bamboo leaves lingered around, like the whispering of people.

Zhang Wenxuan's face was blue, white, and red, he had never been so embarrassed and embarrassed in his life, and he felt that Qi and Duanmufei's eyes were as sharp and stinging as knives.

Zhang Wenxuan's hands were clenched into fists at his sides, and he said stiffly: "Ruoyun, whether it is harmony or righteousness, I will not agree." After a pause, he continued, "We have been married for more than ten years, and several children were raised by you personally, as the saying goes, 'Grace is not raised by grace', what is the difference between them and you?!" ”

"Ruoyun, you are the rightful mother of the children, in the future, the children will also honor you, we live as before, respect each other like guests, what's wrong!"

Some people say too much and even believe themselves, the more Zhang Wenxuan says, the more he feels that he is right, since ancient times, there are more stories of mother-in-law and concubine-in-law, mother-in-law and filial piety.

"......" Duanmu Fei looked at him almost dumbfounded, unbelievable how this person could say such a thing with confidence. There is definitely something wrong with the upbringing of this chapter!

"Ruoyun, Brother Yu, Brother Zhen, Sister Ling, and Sister Fu are all your children, more than ten years of mother-son love, can you bear to leave all this?" Zhang Wenxuan tried to move with emotion.

Yes, isn't his child the Qi family's child?!

Their family can obviously live in harmony and happiness, why does the Qi family have to destroy all this?!

Qi Shi looked at the man in front of him, felt that he didn't talk more than half a sentence, and didn't want to say anything more to him, so he only gave three words: "I can't afford it." ”

Then, she instructed Mama Wang on the side: "Send off guests." ”

Mama Wang and Yuwei were so shocked that they could hardly think after hearing so many things that they shouldn't have heard, and there was a feeling in their hearts that the world seemed to be subverted. Mama Wang hurriedly stepped forward and said unceremoniously to Zhang Wenxuan: "Master, please go back." ”

Mama Wang's voice was full of dissatisfaction with Zhang Wenxuan and distress for Qi's family.

"I'm not leaving!" Zhang Wenxuan said.

Qi didn't bother to pay attention to Zhang Wenxuan, and turned his head to clean up the paintings on the case.

"Ruoyun, don't be stupid......" Zhang Wenxuan raised his voice slightly excitedly, took a step forward, and wanted to reach out and grab Qi's arm.

He really didn't understand why the Qi family suddenly changed into a person, hasn't she always been open-minded and reasonable, for so many years, hasn't she had a good life in the Zhang family without children?

Zhang Wenxuan was so emotional that he didn't notice that his wide cuffs swept over the teacup on the side, and the teacup poured forward......

Seeing that the Pu'er tea inside was about to be spilled on the painting, Duanmu was shocked and shouted, "Be careful with the painting!" ”

Duanmu Fei flew towards the teacup, trying to hold it, however, her scream startled Zhang Wenxuan subconsciously turned around, and his elbow hit back, just hitting Duanmu Fei's right arm.

Duanmu snorted, stumbled, lost his balance, and fell to the ground amid the exclamation of the cicada.

"Boom!"

At the same time, the teacup had been poured on the table, and the red tea poured on the drawing paper, and the tea spread rapidly on the rice paper, and the ink on the paper spread with the hot tea......

The painting is ruined.

All this happened too quickly, and Qi didn't have time to react at all, and watched in a daze as the "Waterfall Map" was destroyed like this.

Zhang Wenxuan was also shocked.

He and Qi had appreciated this painting together in the Xuanguo Mansion, and also knew that this was the posthumous work of the eldest girl of the Chu family, the four great families have been in the same breath for more than 100 years, married each other, and had a very good relationship, he naturally knew how much Xuanguo Gong cherished this eldest girl who died early, and now that the painting is destroyed, how can he tell Xuanguo to take the bus?!

Zhang Wenxuan's complexion changed several times, and he subconsciously looked at Duanmu Fei, and blurted out: "Fourth girl Duanmu, you are too careless." The implication of his words was clearly that Duanmu ruined this "Waterfall Map"

Qi Shi looked at Zhang Wenxuan in shock, only to feel that the other party had opened her eyes again and again in just a few days, making her realize that even if the husband and wife had shared the bed for more than ten years, she had never known the man in front of her. Yes, how can shameless people have a bottom line!

Duanmu Fei stood up with the support of Bi Cicada, she laughed angrily, and directly raised her voice and ordered: "Come on, drive this person out!" Her crisp voice was sonorous and powerful.

There is a saying: don't judge the length of the villain.
