Chapter 35 is kind of interesting
"I just listened to the girl's words, it seems that I am an old acquaintance with my son-in-law, in this case, it is a distinguished guest, the girl does not enter the door to sit for a while, and when the master comes back, I am afraid that she will reprimand me, girl, you can do it, just pity me."
While he was talking, the sound of a carriage suddenly came from a distance, and Zhang Huimin let go of Fang Tian's hand in an instant, lightly brushed his sideburns and broken hair, straightened his clothes, and stepped forward with small steps, his expression and movements were respectful.
Fang Tian gently rubbed the red marks on his wrists, only to feel that the ancient etiquette was too troublesome, a little maid, holding the hands of the guests.
The carriage in the distance approached, raising a puff of dust and fallen leaves, and finally stopped in front of the gate of the annex.
A pair of bony hands brushed the curtain open, revealing a handsome face that was quite familiar.
Zhao Qi saw Fang Tian at the door of his house at a glance, raised his eyebrows lightly, and asked suspiciously, "Miss Fang, why are you here?" ”
Zhao Qi was wearing a black robe, which looked plain at first glance, but if you looked closely, you could see the ornaments outlined by gold threads at the corners of his clothes, lining his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, which made him more tall and handsome, and his body bearing was like his unsheathed sword.
Zhao Qi's gaze crossed the respectful Zhang Minhui in front of the mansion, and fell directly on Fang Tian, he still remembered Fang Tian, that day, for Zhao Sheng's study, in order to please the knowledgeable and elegant Mr. Weiyun, he bought a Dharma orchid in her hand, and also ate the delicious food she made by herself to make amends.
As the saying goes, eating people with a short mouth and soft hands makes people soft, even if Zhao Qi is indifferent and cold, the expression on his skin is a little softer.
Zhang Huimin, as a maid who has served Zhao Qi for many years, is as careful as silk, especially because she still has other intentions, and this heart has reached another realm.
She noticed that Zhao Qi's attitude towards Fang Tian was different, so the alarm bell rang out, and she opened her mouth before Fang Tian spoke.
"Childe, this Miss Fang made a special trip to visit, saying that she had something important to discuss with you, and you were not in the mansion, so Miss Fang said that she wanted to go back first and come back later. The guest made a special trip to visit, presumably there is something important to tell the son, the slave is afraid of delaying the business, and wants to invite the girl to go in and wait for a while. ”
After hearing this, Zhao Qi took his eyes off Zhang Huimin and fell back to Fang Tian.
Fang Tian was a little nervous by his gaze, and hurriedly nodded: "That's true." ”
Suddenly remembered something, Fang Tian patted his brain, the ancient hierarchy was not looser than that of modern times, when you see a person with a noble status, you have to salute, this is the rule, otherwise it is rude.
Fang Tian bowed and said softly and respectfully: "I have seen Zhao Gongzi, and I came uninvited because Tian'er has something important to discuss with Gongzi, and I ask Gongzi to forgive me." ”
"Those who come are guests, how can there be a gift of blame."
When Zhao Qi spoke, his eyes fell on Fang Tian, Zhang Minhui took the opportunity to look up at him, and found a shocking thing, Zhao Qi's expression was much gentler than his usual expression.
Even when he was talking to Miss Wei, Zhao Qi's childhood sweetheart, he didn't show such a gentle expression because he was indifferent and cold.
Zhang Huimin frowned slightly, and the corner of her eyes fell on Fang Tian.
Although this girl has a delicate face, and is gentle and polite, but judging from her clothes, she doesn't look like a young lady from a big family, who is she sacred, and she can get Zhao Qi to look at her differently?
Zhang Huimin secretly speculated with a ghost in her heart, so naturally she didn't hear Zhao Qi's words.
When Zhao Qi frowned slightly and lowered his voice to call her name and surname, Fang suddenly came back to his senses, and said with a puzzled look: "Childe? ”
"When a guest is visiting, why do you let a guest stand outside the door?" Zhao Qi's face was displeased, he felt that this was rudeness, Zhao Qi's education from childhood to adulthood told him that he should be polite and polite when dealing with people, and he usually said this to the servants at home, but now that a guest arrives and is rude to others, of course he is a little unhappy.
Zhang Huimin knew Zhao Qi's temper very well, and felt aggrieved, and said softly: "Childe, you listen to the slave maid's explanation, at that time, the slave maid wanted to invite Miss Fang to enter the house to wait, but Miss Fang was unwilling to enter the door, and while she was talking, you came back, and the slave and maid were wronged." ”
Zhao Qi turned his eyes to look at Fang Tian for verification: "Miss Fang? ”
Fang Tian was stunned, he only felt that the etiquette rules of this big family were really complicated and troublesome, and it was wrong not to invite guests to sit at the door?
What's more, Zhang Huimin invited her, Fang Tian couldn't help but feel wronged for her, and explained: "I came to visit, and when I saw that Gongzi was not there, I didn't want to trouble this sister, so I didn't go in, this sister is not wrong, Gongzi, you wronged her." ”
Zhao Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and let Zhang Huimin, who was kneeling on the ground, get up.
In fact, he himself didn't want to make the rules so strict, there were countless days when he was young, but now is different from the past, the Zhao family is no longer prosperous in previous years, at this critical juncture of life and death, he didn't dare to relax a step, just for fear of being caught by someone with a heart.
"It's okay if you don't have it, you go and prepare tea."
Zhang Huimin agreed repeatedly, got up to make tea for the guests, and somehow when she passed by Fang Tian's side, she glanced at Fang Tian coldly, and there seemed to be some complicated emotions in her eyes.
Fang Tian couldn't see clearly for a while, he was stunned, and when he wanted to take a closer look, that Zhang Huimin had already faded away, leaving only a back for her.
Fang Tian remembered the plot of some vulgar stories he had seen in his previous life, saying that the female protagonist who came through time fell in love with the male protagonist, but as a result, the maid beside the male protagonist was difficult and framed, so and so, and in the end, the two lived happily together.
Fang Tian crossed his arms and felt a chill coming to him, I wouldn't be so unlucky, I just happened to encounter such a vulgar stalk, right? Thinking of Zhang Huimin's strange attitude towards herself and Zhao Qi's attitude, she felt more and more certain.
Subconsciously, he moved two more steps to the side, thinking that Zhao Qi would be a little farther.
She really didn't mean this to Zhao Qi, love at first sight was also an old-fashioned plot, she had already passed the age of fantasies, and she would come here to find Zhao Qi in person, just because he had money to help, that's all!
Zhao Qi didn't know the magnificence in Fang Tian's heart at this moment, he jumped out of the carriage, even if he knew that Fang Tian was just an ordinary country woman, he also treated him politely: "Miss Fang, it's late autumn now, it's cool outside, and you should sit in the mansion first, if you have anything, you should go to the mansion to talk about it." ”
As he spoke, Zhao Qi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.
Fang Tian was quite uneasy, and stepped into the door nervously, although her real age plus the memories left by the original owner, she was also in her thirties, but this was the first time she had entered the door of a large family, her skin was calm and calm, but she was actually very curious.
Zhao Qi walked in front to lead the way, his steps were steady, stepping on the ground as if there was no sound, and from time to time he would slow down a little, in order to wait for Fang Tian to take small steps to follow.
Fang Tian's gaze wandered in the delicacy on the road, this garden, from the outside it seems to be just a small garden, only to find that there is a hole in the door, there are corridors around the high wall that stretch in twists and turns, pavilions and pavilions, and a small pond, among which there are residual lotus pavilions and pavilions.
On the way, all kinds of rare flowers and plants are planted in the flower beds, which can bloom in all seasons, and it is autumn at this time, and chrysanthemums are in full bloom, so the whole garden is faintly wafting with the fragrance of chrysanthemums.
It is true that the lifestyle of the ancients is very different from the lifestyle of modern people, and the pace of modern life is too fast, unlike the ancients who would enjoy life. This villa is so elegant, it must have taken a lot of thought for craftsmen to build it, so Fang Tian thought about it for a while and changed his mind.
The rich people of the ancients really enjoyed life.
It was at this moment of distraction that Zhao Qi suddenly stopped his pace, Fang Tian was originally following closely behind, but this stop was confiscated, and he crashed into Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his body is strong, Fang Tian's eyeless collision naturally didn't touch him, his steps were very calm, not only did not move at all, but also made Fang Tian feel a pain in his nose.
Fang Tian exclaimed in surprise and almost fell backwards, but fortunately, Zhao Qi quickly supported her backward body, so she didn't fall to the ground. The girl tugged at Zhao Qi's shirt in shock, for fear that she would accidentally fall and squat.
At this time, Zhang Huimin happened to make tea, held it in his hand steadily, and was about to come here. The posture of the two in the distance naturally fell clearly in her eyes, Zhang Huimin bit it, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes, she was unwilling.
Zhang Huimin has admired Zhao Qi for many years, and when she can remember, she vaguely knew that she had different emotions for that noble son, but she had never shown this emotion in front of anyone. Zhang Huimin's parents were also slaves of the Zhao Mansion when they were alive, and she urinated to educate her to be different from dignity and inferiority, she knew that the gap between her identity and Zhao Qi was too big, so she didn't have any hope, she only thought about which noble lady Zhao Qi married in the future, and she was also serving in An'an next to her.
However, this situation made the girl realize that Zhao Qi did not take a fancy to a certain noble lady, but a lowly peasant girl.
Zhang Huimin was very unconvinced, that Fang Tian was just a lowly person, how could He De be favored by Zhao Qi.
Zhang Huimin forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, smoothly stepped into the living room with tea, and made hot tea as usual.
In the living room, Zhao Qi and Fang Tian were talking, Fang Tian lowered his head, his eyes were half-narrowed, and he seemed a little embarrassed: "It's my rudeness, I hope Zhao Gongzi will forgive me." ”
Zhao Qi shook his head and did not speak.
"Carefully calculated, we are only two sides away, I had already made plans when I came, I was afraid that Childe would not recognize me as an ordinary person, so I thought about the rhetoric, but I didn't expect Childe to recognize me."
What is an ordinary person, ordinary people can't make those delicious foods, Zhao Qi remembered the appetizing delicacies in the cyclamen that day, and still felt that the aftertaste was endless, but he didn't know if there would be a chance to eat it again in the future.
Zhao Qi said softly: "The girl is too modest, the girl has solved my urgent needs twice, how can she be regarded as an ordinary person." The cooking skills of Miss Fang's cyclamen are still memorable, and I am afraid that the chef of a famous restaurant in Beijing has come, and when I see the girl, I have to bow down. ”
Fang Tian couldn't help but smile, feeling that Zhao Qi's words seemed to be too big.
At the same time, I feel physically and mentally happy, no wonder some people just like to listen to the words of praise, it turns out that those words can really make people happy, happy to be happy, and modesty still has to pretend: "Childe praises falsely." ”
Fang Tian picked up the white porcelain cup, seeing that the tea in the cup was fluctuating, and the girl's mind was also fluctuating, she cleared her throat, and then said, "I came here today to ask my son to do me a favor...... No, I want to make a deal with Childe. ”
This dynasty values agriculture and suppresses business, and the road of businessmen has always been regarded as a lowly thing, how could this girl think of business transactions, and looking at what she meant, it seems that she still wants to drag herself into the water.
It's kind of interesting.
