Of course, she was more interested in having nothing to say, and just wanted to invite her to sit down.

But it was clear that this was not his style.

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Qiuchi didn't rush to explain, but looked at the medicine bag in Tao'er's hand and asked, "Isn't Miss Liu sick?" ”

Liu Qingjin only felt that this simple sentence could also make her taste sweet.

But this sweetness, which I knew was my own imagination, was like being mixed with ice slag, sharp and piercing, and would turn into water in an instant, making people unable to grasp it at all.

"It's medicine for my father." She said: "It's still the medicinal diet prescription given by Sister Zhang, and there are a few flavors of medicine that are difficult to find, I'm afraid that the girls will catch the wrong one again - it just so happens that there is nothing to do today, and the rainy day is pleasant, so it should be all out for a walk." ”

After answering, I couldn't help but feel that my words seemed to be more, and I secretly regretted it.

Zhang Qiuchi didn't feel that she was talking too much, listening to her words like talking about idle days, but felt that the originally tense and anxious mood was as cool and relaxed as the weather.

The feeling of depression in my chest that I couldn't breathe seemed to dissipate somewhat.

At the moment, he only followed her words and asked, "Lord Liu's illness is getting better?" ”

A few days ago, he heard that Lord Liu was sick and on leave, and he had gone with his father to see it the day before yesterday, and at that time he saw that Lord Liu's complexion was not too bad, and he had to pull him to play chess, and Lang Zhong also said that it would be fine to recuperate for a few days.

"It's about good, this medicinal diet is just to nourish the body......"

Speaking of this, Liu Qingjin covered up the discomfort in his eyes by bowing his head to eat tea.

How her father's illness came about, others don't know, but she and her mother know it - it's because Zhang Gongzi is too popular with those adults in the Hanlin Academy and even the entire court, and one or two have the intention of marrying the daughter or granddaughter of the family, and they don't hide it, and they often fight over it.

My father saw it in his eyes, and he probably wanted to join, but he was destined to fail to fulfill his wish, and after a long time, he was jealous in his heart, and he was in a hurry......

"That's good." Zhang Qiuchi didn't know the inside story, and he also took a sip of tea now.

Neither of them spoke for a moment.

Liu Qingjin didn't ask anything, just quietly enjoyed this rare time.

Zhang Qiuchi also felt in his heart that this short period of relaxation at this time was very precious.

But what needs to be said still has to be said.

Seeing that there was no one else on the second floor, he said in a low voice: "I heard that some time ago, the Guo family sent someone to your mansion to discuss relatives...... I wonder if that's the case? ”

Hearing him mention this, Liu Qingjin was quite surprised, but he nodded immediately.

Although this matter is not widely reported, it is not a secret.

"That Guo Jun...... I was a classmate. ”

Zhang Qiuchi was a little uncomfortable, but he still continued: "It's not that I deliberately said that he wasn't behind my back, but as far as I know, this person seems to be gentle and elegant on the surface, but in fact, he is not...... I can't say anything about it, but it is enough to be sure that this person is by no means a person who can be married, and I hope that Miss Liu can carefully consider and discern it. ”

He's been hearing some rumors lately.

Say yes...... The girl of the Liu family is old and unmarried, and now she has no intention of picking and choosing, and it seems that she deliberately agreed to the relationship with the Guo family.

He knew that the rumors were not credible, and he also believed that Lord Liu would not marry his daughter at will, but he was afraid that Lord Liu would be ill recently, and the Liu family would have no time to take a closer look.

He originally thought about conveying it to Lord Liu through his father's mouth, but he was afraid that the elders in the family would think too much about it-

I thought that I might as well let the second sister inform the girl of the Liu family, and the second sister expressed it clearly, so there should be no misunderstanding.

Who knew that he met him on the street first today, and he just ...... His mind still seemed to be a little unclear, and somehow, he said something to invite someone to talk about.

Now that I think about it, it's a bit abrupt.

But inexplicably...... I don't regret it.

Liu Qingjin smiled when he heard this.

Then he said in a low voice: "But Zhang Gongzi also knows that he secretly abused his subordinates?" ”

Father has already checked, the son of the Guo family seems to be a dignified gentleman, but in fact, he secretly abuses people and maids, which is not a thing.

It's just that the family is trying their best to hide it, and they are seriously going around talking to other girls, which can be said that the whole family is not a thing.

Zhang Qiuchi was stunned for a moment and nodded.

It turned out that the Liu family already knew.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Liu Qingjin's heart jumped a few times.

She knew that he should have reminded him out of the friendship between the two families, and she shouldn't have misunderstood it.

But somehow, a superfluous sentence blurted out: "Even if there was no such thing, I would have refused this family business." ”

Zhang Qiuchi was a little stunned when he heard this, and the moment they looked at each other, both of them turned their eyes away a little uncomfortably, but they went to serve tea together.

Because of this "tacit understanding" move, Liu Qingjin pursed his lips and held back a smile.

"There is no urgency to get married, and it is time to choose someone who is truly worthy of entrusting your life." Zhang Qiuchi relieved the atmosphere and preached.

Liu Qingjin nodded.

"Well, I've always been in no hurry......"

Zhang Qiuchi's fingers holding the teacup tightened slightly, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

"Zhang Gongzi has been on his mind lately?"

Thinking of his appearance on the street alone, and having an intuition, Liu Qingjin couldn't help but ask.

After asking, I was afraid that I would talk too much, and I was afraid that he would be embarrassed and unable to answer, so I said again before he opened his mouth: "Zhang Gongzi has read countless books, and I don't need to say many truths. It's just that people are alive in the world, and they should look forward when they encounter problems...... Zhang Gongzi is young and successful, and his future is limitless, and he will be able to show his ambitions, and your family is a harmonious atmosphere, and it is always good to want to go back and forth. ”

After that, he added with a smile: "If I guess wrong, these words should be my casual nonsense." ”

Zhang Qiuchi, who listened carefully, couldn't help laughing.

"It's true that I didn't know how to deal with it...... But after listening to Miss Liu's words, her heart seemed to be clearer. ”

Hearing him say so frankly, and saying that his words were useful, the smile on the corner of Liu Qingjin's mouth became more and more genuinely happy.

And a ridiculous idea suddenly came to her mind - if only she were a man.

In that way, it is also great to be able to talk to him often, and sit and eat tea and listen to the rain like this.

Outside the window, the rain was endless, and the raindrops smashed on the bluestone pavement and burst out, like joy and struggle, just like the mood of a tea eater.

……

The next day, a horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of the courtyard behind Qingyun Street.

A middle-aged man in a blue robe came out of the carriage.

Before getting out of the car, the man looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he got out of the carriage.

After getting out of the car, he hurriedly walked into the courtyard with the driver.
