Two days later, Zhangzhu successfully arrived in the capital. She looked at the towering walls and returned to the place where it all began. She still has unfinished business, so she must move forward firmly, even Xun Shao can't stumble her steps.

The sedan chair swayed, and I don't know how long it stopped, the palm beads didn't wait for anyone to come, she opened the curtain herself, she was familiar with this place in front of her, this is a courtyard of Xun Shao, she had been here once. Zhangzhu didn't know where Xun Shao placed her, and what it meant.

At that moment, a woman in a lilac purple gown stepped forward and said, "Please get off the sedan chair." ”

This woman was eye-catching, and she didn't know the palm beads, but she still stepped on the stool and got off the sedan chair.

She was led into the courtyard, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she smelled a refreshing scent of osmanthus flowers. Zhangzhu looked up and saw a cinnamon tree planted in the flower bed, and the laurel tree was still the same as in his memory.

The woman led Zhangzhu into the house, and then bowed to Zhangzhu and said, "Miss Fu is resting here, if you need anything, please tell the old slave." ”

She's imprisoned here! In addition to this woman, a little girl was also sent to serve her. Zhangzhu saw that the little girl was somewhat similar to the woman, so he guessed that it was a mother and daughter. The little girl looks white and clean, her round face is fleshy, and her shallow dimples will be revealed when she smiles, which is the age of innocence.

"The slave's name is Qionghua, and the girl has anything to call Qionghua."

Zhangzhu listened to this name and thought carefully for a while, then said to her: "It is said that the Qionghua in Yangzhou is the best, have you ever been to Yangzhou?" ”

Qionghua was also happy to see Zhangzhu take the initiative to talk to her, and said with joy: "Is there really a Qionghua in Yangzhou?" It's a pity that I haven't even seen it, what does the flower look like, what color, is it beautiful? ”

The palm bead asked Qionghua to get the pen and paper, Qionghua quickly took it, the palm bead was gently depicted on the paper, she had followed the description of various herbs before, so she also had a certain foundation, and after a while, she drew a big flower on the paper, and she handed the paper to Qionghua to see.

Qionghua took it and immediately said, "Isn't this a hydrangea, the girl coaxes me to play." She laughed as she spoke.

Zhangzhu took another piece of paper and drew a whole Qionghua.

"It has white flowers, and it does look a little similar to a hydrangea, but it's not exactly the same. It grows much taller than a hydrangea, and when it blooms, it is full of trees, and the large flowers are spectacular. This flower can also be used in medicine, has the effect of clearing heat and moistening the lungs, relieving cough and reducing phlegm, and can also nourish yin and replenish deficiency, which is a medicine that is both beautiful and easy to use. ”

The little girl listened quietly, thinking that what Zhangzhu said was very interesting, and after listening to Zhangzhu, she couldn't help but ask again: "Can the girl see it with her own eyes?" ”

Zhangzhu said: "I've seen it, of course I've seen it." One of my aunts married in Yangzhou, and there was a big Qionghua tree in the yard where she lived, and I was fortunate enough to see it bloom when it was in full bloom, do you know the legend of Princess Qionghua? ”

Qionghua shook her head, and Zhangzhu talked to the little girl with great interest. She was quiet for several days, probably because she didn't open her mouth these days, and she suffocated herself, and when she met a cute little girl, it was difficult to close the conversation box once it was opened.

It didn't take long for Zhangzhu to get acquainted with Qionghua, Qionghua looked fourteen or fifteen years old, she had never been out of Beijing in her life, and the farthest place she had been to was probably her grandfather's house.

When the servant Zhangzhu fell asleep at night, Qionghua crept out of the house, and was stopped by her mother before she could return to her room.

Jiao Niangzi's face was indifferent: "You come over to me!" ”

Qionghua didn't dare to disobey her mother's wishes, so she followed her to the house where her mother lived.

After entering the door, Jiao Niangzi scolded her daughter with a straight face: "You talk a lot, why do you have so many mouths as a maid?" I'll see what you do when you get into trouble. ”

Qionghua was reprimanded by her mother, but she didn't seem to be convinced, and pouted: "I don't usually have any sisters and sisters to play with me, but I am happy that a fairy-like sister came by chance." ”

"Sister, do you dare to call her sister? I don't know where she came from, I don't know what her surname is, and I don't know what Uncle Xun is going to do when he throws her here, do you ...... You are so bold......" Jiao Niangzi felt that she was about to be angry with her daughter.

"Mother, don't be sad, I listen to you."

"That's naturally a good ......" Jiao Niangzi was very irritable, so she asked Qionghua to pour her a glass of water, she drank a few sips, and felt that she couldn't quench her thirst, so she drank two cups in succession, and her heart was a little more settled, and then she continued to educate her daughter: "You just have to do your duty, if you want to live well, you shouldn't talk too much." If you want to go into the house to serve people in the future, you will get into trouble sooner or later! ”

After being reprimanded by her mother, Qionghua didn't dare to distinguish for herself.

On the second day, she really talked a lot less, and Zhangzhu naturally expected a little bit, but she didn't give up getting close to this little girl: "Do you want to be literate, I can teach you." ”

Qiong Hua was stunned and asked, "Is the girl really willing?" ”

"What's so hard about that. I can teach you whatever you want to learn, as long as I can. ”

"Really......" Qionghua's eyes rolled like a deer, and soon she understood, and hurriedly asked, "Does the girl have anything to do with me?" ”

This is not nonsense, she naturally wants to win over the people around her and prepare for the escape later, but at the moment she just smiled and said, "Isn't this boring, I want to find something to pass the time." ”

Zhangzhu also knew that she didn't have much time, and she had to find a way to get out before Xun Shao made a move. Although the Suppression Division has minions all over the place, she still wants to be free.

came and went, but after two or three days, Zhangzhu was already very familiar with Qiong Hua, and Qiong Hua even talked to her about some things in the house, even including some things about Cai Qiuniang.

"Do you know why the Xun family married the Cai family?"

Qionghua replied: "I heard my mother say that the eldest grandmother was chosen by the uncle himself, and said that the eldest grandmother is gentle and obedient, and is very suitable to be a wife." ”

This answer is not much different from what Cai Qiuniang told her at the beginning, and Zhangzhu said: "But I heard that before the current grandmother entered the door, Lord Xun was engaged to another woman, what is going on?" ”

"The girl also knows about the Xie family?"

How did she know that she was the party! She nodded indifferently in agreement, and Qiong Hua continued: "Yes, we don't know why the uncle left the Xie family girl to marry the Cai family, but something happened to the Xie family within a few months, fortunately, the Xun family and the Xie family have cleared up the relationship, otherwise I don't know what to do now." ”

"Are you saying that the Xun family has already had such an experience?"

"This servant doesn't know, but fortunately, isn't it, otherwise the Xun family would be unlucky."

"Did the Xun family and the Cai family have any dealings before?"

"Some ......" Qionghua was about to speak, but Jiao Niangzi suddenly walked in, she glared at her daughter deadly, Qionghua didn't dare to say any more.

Zhangzhu remembered that she had seen Cai Qiuniang at the banquet of the Xun family, and the two families naturally knew each other before, but there were some things she couldn't understand, maybe she could see some things more clearly from a different angle.

The beauty is delicate
