Chapter 932: Leisure
The teahouse was very lively, and when she entered, Mr. Storyteller was only halfway through it, but it didn't prevent her from listening to it at all, after all, it was about the Zhang family, and she was clear about every story about the Zhang family that circulated outside.
Some of the storyteller's mouth is true and some are false, but it does not prevent the listeners from listening to it with fascination, and from time to time bursts of exclamations.
After listening for a while, she stood up and got up to leave. The guy who stayed at the door while soliciting business and listening with his ears pricked up glanced at her, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: Is the storytelling in the building not good? He remembered that this girl seemed to have only been sitting for a while! Or do you not like to hear it? The guy thought about it, and looked at the full seat and thought it was true. There are so many listeners, it can be seen that what she said is wonderful, and she will leave probably because she doesn't like to listen to books!
Huang Tiandao was full of people, Wei Yaoqing stood outside the teahouse, there was a moment of confusion in her eyes, maybe it was too noisy in the teahouse, so that she was a little unaccustomed to stepping out!
The Zhang family was wronged, and people all over the capital were talking about it, but she felt overwhelmed for a moment, as if no matter how lively it was, it was also the excitement of others, and it had nothing to do with her. An indescribable tiredness welled up in her heart: everything was going as smoothly as she had imagined, but what she had to do wasn't over yet.
After standing for a while, she turned around and walked in the direction of the Heavenly Master's Dao, without hiding her appearance and whereabouts, and she didn't have to hide it anymore, she could go to find her brother in a bright way.
The newly renovated Zhang Mansion still doesn't look like it, and at this time it just knocked off the door, this matter was handed over to the craftsman to plan, and the newly built Zhang Mansion will not disappoint, Brother Xie will be the new owner of this Zhang Mansion, and the Zhang family will be pinched in his hands in the future, and she also believes that Brother Xie will bring a new Zhang family, but that is later. People also have to be based on the present.
Walking to the gate of Pei Garden, when he climbed over the wall and entered, Pei Zongzhi was sitting alone by the stone bench in the garden, and the water on the small stove on the side was already boiling, steaming hot.
Wei Yaoqing saw the white porcelain tea pot in his hand at a glance, and asked casually: "Are you making tea?" The water is boiling, and the tea is not boiled like this! ”
Pei Zongzhi, who was looking down at a big Chu Yu map, looked up at her, his eyes lingered on the cyan skirt on the girl's body, and he replied: "Pei Xingting gave it to me, saying that it tasted good, so I brought it back." ”
Wei Yaoqing's heart moved, and for a moment she seemed to think of something, but she didn't catch anything. It must have been a long sleep, so that the person was a little sluggish, and the head was wooden all morning.
Although she didn't catch what she wanted to say, she still instinctively praised: "Pei Xingting is very good to you." ”
Pei Zongzhi nodded and looked at her: "The Wei family is also very good to you." ”
Wei Yaoqing was silent, and after a while, she asked him, "Then why are you still here?" Don't live in Pei's house? ”
Pei Zongzhi's eyes were empty for a moment, shook his head, and replied, "I don't know." After a pause, he asked her rhetorically, "Then why do you still hide a lot of things from the Wei family?" ”
"There are a lot of things they don't know better than they know." Wei Yaoqing instinctively replied but then fell silent, and the thoughts that had just flashed clearly appeared in her mind at this time.
Does she have a good relationship with the Wei family? Nature is good. The loyal and honest father, the cowardly and kind mother, the second sister with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, the younger brother who has no great promise but also knows how to care about her, as well as Mrs. Zhou and the uncle, they are all good to her, and she is also sincerely worried and caring for them, but for some reason it always seems to be a layer apart. The relationship between them is true, and it is true that they will worry about each other, but they are always separated by a thin veil.
This kind of relationship is just like Pei Xingting and Pei Zongzhi, it's really good, but it's still a difference.
Pei Zongzhi didn't know why this was the case, how could she have known? In fact, she is not unfamiliar with this feeling of being separated by a thin veil, the brothers and sisters of the same generation of the Zhang family in the past and even her Zhang Mingzhu's biological parents are also like this, the relationship is not fake, the care is not fake, but after all, there is a strange sense of alienation, there is no intimacy, not before, after the Zhang family is wiped out, there is no more.
But after a moment's pause, a cup of tea was handed to her.
With a blanket line of sight, Wei Yaoqing came back to her senses, suppressed the cranky thoughts in her mind, and asked him, "Where did Brother Xie go early in the morning?"
"I'm going to find those Jianghu people." Pei Zongzhi, "And the one named Zhang Ning also went with him." ”
Wei Yaoqing nodded, didn't ask about Brother Xie again, his eyes naturally fell on the map in front of him, and seeing that the red and blue colors on the map were distinct, he couldn't help asking: "Red is Da Chu, blue is Chen Shan?" ”
Pei Zongzhi nodded and said, "I have nothing to do, just take a look." ”
The two colors of red and blue are on par right now.
Wei Yaoqing retracted her gaze, lowered her head and drank the tea that was not very good, and after sitting for a long time, she finally raised her head, looked at Pei Zongzhi, who had been staring at her for a long time and did not take her off her gaze, and asked him, "What do you always look at me?" ”
He asked, "How old are you this year?" ”
Wei Yaoqing was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Fourteen." ”
Pei Zongzhi looked at her and frowned, but did not speak.
Wei Yaoqing's eyebrows jumped: "...... Actually, it's almost seventeen. "Based on Zhang Mingzhu's age, she will stay in a few months, and she will be seventeen in this year's Midyear Festival. But what woman wants to count herself as old?
"That's big!" Pei Zongzhi instinctively sighed.
Wei Yaoqing glanced at him: "It's not as old as you." After a pause, he laughed again, "If it was placed in the previous dynasty, you and I would have been dragged out and forcibly married at this age." ”
In order to seek the stability of the country and strive for the absolute balance of yin and yang, the rules were set, women over fifteen, men over twenty and unmarried people will be pulled out to forcibly marry, and those who do not follow will pay money every year and will be imprisoned, if you have no money and do not want to go to prison and do not want to marry, then you can only become a monk, but the number of monks is also fixed, all in the hands of the government. This kind of rule still seems ridiculous now, Liu's governance pays too much attention to the balance of yin and yang, so he puts himself in a position similar to a "god" and intervenes in the lifeblood trajectory of all living beings in the world, which will naturally cause disaster sooner or later.
Originally, it was just a casual joke, but Pei Zongzhi suddenly said: "I have seen the descendant of the Liu family." ”
Wei Yaoqing was taken aback, and the next moment he heard him say: "It is the descendant of the Liu family who placed you in Jinan City." ”
