Chapter 38: Distinguished Guest

When the woman heard Fang Tian's name, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes full of disbelief: "What are you doing at Fang's house?" ”

Zhao Qi didn't know this woman, if Fang Tian was there, she would definitely be able to recognize this woman as Zhao Wenxuan's biological mother, Zhao Huang.

Because he didn't know him, he didn't have any precautions, Zhao Qi said indifferently: "I bought a batch of goods for her before, and now I personally sent them to her, but I don't know her specific address, so I am a little embarrassed." ”

Zhao Qi said, seeing Zhao Huang's stunned appearance, he couldn't help frowning, thinking that the folk customs of the village were so philistine? Is it difficult to ask for a reward for a long time?

Zhao Qi secretly guessed, and his eyes motioned to his subordinates to send a few taels of silver.

Zhao Huang didn't accept it, even though she knew that the silver taels were enough for her family to spend half a month safely, she still pushed it back. Zhao Huang knew that a medicinal herb merchant had returned all the orchids that the Wang family had bought at a high price yesterday, and she thought it was funny at the time, but she didn't expect it to be Fang Tian's girl.

And the extraordinarily dressed boy in front of her seemed to be familiar with Fang Tian, so she asked curiously: "Fang Cai is in a trance because the girl Fang you said has a lot of connections with my family, and I don't think you look like a person nearby, what is the relationship between you and that girl?" ”

Since he and Fang Tian have been asking more than one person what their relationship is, Zhao Qi frowned, Zhao Sheng asked, Zhao Zijin asked, and even the woman next to the country road asked.

Zhao Qi was a little impatient, he had never been a patient person, but in order to maintain his image outside, in order to stabilize the people of the crumbling Shengguo Mansion, and in order to maintain the dignity of the Shengguo Mansion, he had not exposed those emotions, but now it is different from the past.

Zhao Qi believes that the village woman in the rural village who has never known him is not qualified to ask him this question at all, because his initial idea was just to ask for a way. It was even more because Zhao Qi felt that he had nothing to do with Fang Tian, he had only known each other for a few days, and he had only met three times, even if there was really anything, it couldn't be now.

Zhao Qi turned over and got on the horse, his eyes were slightly cold, and his face was very cold, he only felt that this woman who had a lot of connections with Fang Tian's family was too rude.

The entourage behind him also frowned slightly: "Childe, we haven't asked where that girl lives yet." ”

Zhao Qi's gaze turned over, like the cold wind of the cold winter wax moon, like the frost and snow in late autumn, like the cool rainstorm in summer, which frightened the entourage like a chilling cicada: "There are so many people here, and she is not the only one who can speak." ”

Not far away, Zhao Huang's face was pale, and his thin body shivered lightly in the cool autumn breeze.

Fang Tian was tidying up the house, it was the yard that Zhao Xiuqin had borrowed from her aunt's house two days ago, the yard was very large, enough to accommodate the orchids she had acquired, and it was close to the small courtyard of the Fang family, Fang Tian was very satisfied with this small courtyard.

It's just that because no one lives all year round, the small courtyard is messy, Fang Tian led the whole family to clean up, and after a day and a half, he cleaned up a shape.

Seeing the clean and tidy courtyard, Fang Tian's eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, she planned to wait for Zhao Qi's orchids to be sent here, and move the various bronze utensils she put at home for refining flavors and fragrances here, although the two families were close, but it was still quite inconvenient.

Zhao Xiuqin was also in the yard, the peasant family was not as pampered as a big family, and when she was tired, she casually found a place that looked relatively clean and sat down.

Zhao Xiuqin's brows furrowed slightly, seeing the smile on the corner of Fang Tian's eyebrows, she was a little uneasy: "Girl, what is the identity of the noble person you said the day before yesterday, you go and ask someone to help, will they really help you, and you have to buy so many orchids, and you have to send them over in person, what if he doesn't buy them, what if he doesn't send them over?" ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiuqin looked at the cleaned yard with a worried face, sighed and said: "If he doesn't keep his anger, then wouldn't our family's plan be empty?" ”

Fang Tian felt funny, picked up the kettle on the ground and handed it to Zhao Xiuqin: "It's not dark yet, don't you have to get along with yourself thinking so much?" ”

"I don't want to think about it so much, but I really can't put my mind at ease, that son surnamed Zhao has a noble status, where will he make friends with a country family like us, maybe for him, the things we are begging for are not important, and maybe even he will turn his head and forget about it!"

The more Zhao Xiuqin spoke, the more uneasy she felt, as if she had really experienced something.

Fang Tian looked at her uneasy and anxious expression, and couldn't help but smile and said: "That Zhao Gongzi is different from others, although you ask me how he is different from others, I definitely can't say, but I just have an intuition, she will definitely come here and come to me, he promised." ”

Fang Tian said, then lowered her head to clean up the gravel and other things in the yard, she was only thinking about how to start her own road to wealth in this small courtyard in the future, and she didn't notice Zhao Xiuqin's doubtful gaze on her at all.

Why is she so confident?

Zhao Xiuqin was puzzled.

"No matter how beautiful you say, I can't understand it, I haven't seen that Zhao Gongzi, how do I know how different he is from other sons."

Saying that, Zhao Xiuqin couldn't sit still anymore, jumped up from the ground, flicked the gray on her body and said: "I can't sit still, instead of waiting with you here, it's better for me to go to the village to take a look, in case that Zhao Gongzi really comes, but what if you don't know the way, I can still help you show you the way in the past, it's better than waiting here." ”

Zhao Xiuqin raised her feet and walked outside the courtyard, just when she opened the door and wanted to go out, suddenly someone rushed in to the door, the person was obviously very excited, his steps were very fast, he couldn't stop at all, and almost knocked Zhao Xiuqin to the ground.

Zhao Xiuqin was slightly annoyed, and was about to open her mouth to scold, when she looked down and saw Lin Xiao's deer-like watery eyes, her heart suddenly softened as if she had been thrown into a hot spring: "Children, walk steadily, there are a lot of gravel and mud on the ground, what if you accidentally fall?" ”

It was not Lin Xiao's expectation to knock down Zhao Xiuqin, seeing the anger on Zhao Xiuqin's face, Lin Xiao thought that he was going to be scolded, and he was so frightened that he forgot to breathe. In a daze, he didn't get an angry scolding, but there was concern in his words, Lin Xiao was a little surprised.

What does Lin Xiao look like and what kind of personality does Lin Xiao have, Fang Tian has been with him for the longest time, and he understands it best: "What's the matter, why are you so flustered, is something wrong?" You have to panic, speak slowly. ”

Lin Xiao came back to his senses at this time, and his little face that had become white and tender for many days showed a look of surprise, in the past two days, he often heard Fang Tian talk about Zhao Qi and Orchid, he was anxious about her and worried about her worries, so he was happy for her now.

"Sister! A lot of people came outside, saying they wanted to see you and brought you orchids. ”

Before Zhao Xiuqin and Lin Xiao could react, Fang Tian had already jumped up, pulled out his legs and ran out, as if someone who had been groping in black clothes for a long time finally saw a glimmer of light.

Fang Tian thought at first that Zhao Qi had asked his subordinates to send things, after all, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a person with a noble status who would never walk in the countryside in person, and he should also have many small servants under him, so he would not do everything himself, so when she rushed out of the small courtyard and ran in the direction of her house, she saw a person standing as tall as a sword at the door of her house, she was a little incredulous, and even the business of speaking began to tremble slightly: "Zhao Gongzi!" I didn't expect you to come in person. ”

Fang Tian's voice stood out from the noisy and messy sound through the air, and fell into Zhao Qi's ears, Zhao Qi turned his head to look, and there was a faint smile on his always cold and expressionless face.

Zhao Qi was originally a handsome man, if he was not so silent and cold, according to his appearance and posture, even if he was a country man or an ordinary person with no status, there would still be many women who flocked to him, just because of his handsomeness.

It's already very beautiful when you're not smiling, and even more amazing when you laugh.

Even a person like Fang Tian, who is a person in two lifetimes and will never be easily moved, his heartbeat also missed a beat.

Fang Tian immediately came back to his senses from his trance, gently rubbed his face, and secretly scolded angrily: "Anyway, he is also a person who has traveled through time, counting the memories of his previous life and this life, he has been remembered for more than thirty years, and now he is actually tempted by a person who has not met a few times!" ”

The more Fang Tian thought about it, the more angry he became, and the strength of rubbing his cheeks became bigger and bigger.

At this moment, when you come to visit, you should treat each other politely, where can you tolerate yourself in a trance!

Fang Tian hurriedly avoided the carriages carrying orchids and rushed to Zhao Qi's side.

Zhao Qi also saw Fang Tian's gaffe from afar, he had always been smart, he couldn't understand it, he didn't understand why Fang Tian was in a trance, and he had doubts, so he asked.

The autumn breeze was slightly cool, Fang Tian's clothes were a little thin at this time, he shivered in the autumn wind, raised a smile and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect Zhao Gongzi to come over in person, I was too surprised just now, so I was a little rude, and I hope that Gongzi Haihan." ”

"Why do you think it's an unexpected thing for me to come and deliver flowers in person?"

The smiling face on Fang Tian's face was slightly stiff: "Because the houses of the rural people are simple, they are not as luxurious and exquisite as the son's family." ”

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows, as if he had some objections to this statement.

His gaze looked around, and the countryside came into view.

First of all, the towering green hills and winding paths on which the village rests, then the black roof tiles with roofs that have been washed away by rain for many years, and the uneven stone bricks with moss in front of the doors.

When the Marquis of Sheng's Mansion had not yet declined, with the friendship between his grandmother and the nobleman in the palace, Zhao Qi had also entered the palace, and saw with his own eyes carved beams and paintings, gold bricks and glazed tiles, standing in the Forbidden City and gazing, no one would doubt that the palace was the most exquisite and luxurious building.

However, there was no smoke in the palace, and there was frost everywhere inside the red walls.

Zhao Qi does not dislike this so-called simple house, on the contrary, he likes it a little, especially the flower garden in front of the house surrounded by a fence.

Zhao Qi's eyes fell on Fang Tian, and his eyes were bright: "The flowers in the flower garden were planted by you?" ”

Fang Tian was quite uncomfortable with that look, nodded and said, "Occasionally, planting flowers and grass is just idle." ”

Zhao Qi didn't speak, but the smile in his eyes gradually deepened. He suddenly had an urge to bring Fang Tian back to the capital, because the old lady in the mansion had no other hobbies, except for tending to flowers and plants.

If Fang Tian was an ordinary peasant girl, of course this wish would have a chance to come true, but she was not, she was assertive, and even thought about how to make money in business to change her family environment.
