Chapter XVIII Cross-examination
Chen Guan sat in the house for a while, Jiang Yingyue went out and looked around, the cabin was surrounded by bamboo forests, so it seemed that the previous owner was quite emotional.
Jiang Yingyue turned around, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
At this time, Chen Guan came out and said to Jiang Yingyue: "Mrs. Jiang, it's not too early, we should go back." ”
Jiang Yingyue entered the courtyard, locked the door, and put the key in her purse. The three of them came out together, Jiang Yingyue locked the door of the bamboo fence, looked back a few more times, and then left with Chen Guan.
Chen Guan, Luo Dacai walked in front, Luo Dacai couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Childe, what did you just say inside?" As soon as I entered, you stopped talking. ”
Chen Guan said: "I didn't say anything, if you are so curious, I will ask my mother to arrange you to the master's side, and I will ask for someone who has few words to come over again." ”
This sentence is very effective, Luo Dacai immediately stopped talking, although Chen Guan often scares Luo Dacai like this, but Luo Dacai never dares to take it seriously, he believes that his young master can come out.
Jiang Yingyue lifted the curtain on the carriage and looked back in the direction of the cabin, until the carriage turned a corner and the cabin was covered by a bamboo forest, and then the curtain was lowered.
Jiang Yingyue has been in Zuiyue Tower for so many years, and often thinks that she is old and her face is getting old, and the guests will never be as generous as they are today. Your own life will become more and more difficult. What's more, new girls come to Zuiyue Mansion every year, and most of those noble sons pity the new and abandon the old.
As time passed, Jiang Yingyue's sense of worry became heavier and heavier, and finally Jiang Yingyue couldn't sit still, she didn't want to sit still, she had to leave herself a way back.
A few days ago, Chen Guan always came to Zuiyue Tower alone to drink, Jiang Yingyue noticed it, thought about it, and invited Chen Guan to drink a cup of tea and asked him to help him find a house.
Chen Guan was generous in Zuiyue Building, and he spoke wittily, which was very popular with the girls in Zuiyue Building, and the girls also liked to ask him for help when they had something, Chen Guan probably shouldn't admit a few ideas.
Jiang Yingyue said to Chen Guan in the state of trying it out, but she didn't expect Chen Guan to agree.
Jiang Yingyue has saved a lot of money over the years, which is enough for her to live comfortably for several years without doing anything. Jiang Yingyue often thought of her mother in Zuiyue Tower, she looked for her several times, but there was no news like a stone in the sea, and it was shelved over time.
She often thinks about her home in Changshan, and she also thinks about going back to see it. First, it is a long way to go, and second, her home in Changshan has changed hands, and going back to see it will only add sadness.
Let's say that Xie Shaoqing came out of Ruyang Mansion, his face flushed. Zhang Yi waited for him outside and asked, "Childe, didn't you say that you went in and said a few words to the princess and came out, why did you go in for so long, and besides, Childe, why is your face so red?" ”
Xie Shaoqing recalled the scene in the pavilion, and thought in his heart: "I must have been stupid to do such an outrageous thing, but fortunately I was not seen." But he said, "It's hot, why are you asking so much?" ”
Zhang Yi looked at the sun, touched his face again, and said, "It's not hot, I've been standing outside for a long time and it's not hot, son, are you feverish?" ”
Xie Shaoqing turned his head and glared at Zhang Yi a few times, and Zhang Yi didn't dare to speak.
Xie Jing temporarily summoned Xie Shaoqing into the palace, and it was said that there was something to discuss. Xie Shaoqing was originally looking for Ruyang, but suddenly received this news, so he had to hurriedly enter the palace with Zhang Yi.
Ruyang's home is very close to the palace, Xie Shaoqing is a little distracted, Zhang Yi sees that Xie Shaoqing is absent-minded, he knows the temper of his son-in-law, and he doesn't dare to ask.
When Xie Shaoqing saw Xie Jing, he found that his mother Zhang Guifei also came. Xie Jing gave Xie Jing, Zhang Guifei said goodbye, and Zhang Yi stood outside.
Zhang Guifei said to Xie Shaoqing with a smile: "Shaoqing, come here." ”
Xie Shaoqing walked up to his mother as he said.
Xie Jing smiled: "You haven't been in the palace for a few days, your mother misses you very much, and clamored for me to call you over today." ”
Zhang Guifei glanced at the palace maid standing next to her, and the palace maid understood and hugged a few paintings.
Zhang Guifei asked the palace maid to open it one by one, and she said: "This is Chu Lan, the daughter of the Zhongshu family, she looks very standard, and you are not young." ”
Xie Shaoqing was silent, and Zhang Guifei thought he was embarrassed and embarrassed. When the sixth girl was introduced, Xie Shaoqing still didn't speak. Zhang Guifei felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Are you not satisfied with these?" Then you tell your mother what you want. ”
Xie Shaoqing said: "The child doesn't want to start a family for the time being. ”
Zhang Guifei was a little angry, she was busy for Xie Shaoqing for a long time, and Xie Shaoqing reacted at this point.
Xie Jing saw that the mother and son were about to quarrel, so he said in a round: "Shaoqing is not too old after all, this kind of thing can be done slowly." After a moment's notice, he continued: "Come and tell my father what you like." ”
Xie Shaoqing changed his mind and said: "When I think about it, I will tell my father and mother." ”
Xie Jing said: "Then when you think about it, it's not too late." ”
Xie Shaoqing sat for a while, and when he was about to get up to say goodbye, Zhang Guifei said: "I haven't seen Shaoqing for a few days, I want to take Shaoqing to my palace to talk." ”
Xie Jing agreed, and Zhang Yi saw that there was residual anger on Zhang Guifei's face outside, and secretly complained in his heart: "Childe, I'm afraid that I won't make Concubine Guifei angry again." ”
Sure enough, when he arrived at Zhang Guifei's palace, Xie Shaoqing accompanied Zhang Guifei to talk. The personal female officer beside Concubine Zhang Guifei led Zhang Yi to another room.
The female official Hongyao poured Zhang Yi a cup of tea, and Zhang Yicheng looked at the cup of tea in front of him with trepidation.
Hongyao asked some about Xie Shaoqing's recent situation unhurriedly, for example, where Xie Shaoqing came in and went, and whether he had any new friends......
Zhang Yi has long been familiar with this kind of thing that comes to interrogate once every three or five times, and he answered some questions in a virtual and real way. Zhang Yi didn't pay attention to the matter between Xie Shaoqing and Chu Li, and Xie Shaoqing didn't say anything to him. Zhang Yi didn't dare to say that some time ago, Xie Shaoqing often ran to Zuiyue Tower.
After asking several times, Hongyao didn't ask anything useful, Zhang Yi was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, and he had to pretend to be calm.
Hongyao asked almost, got up and left, and the palace maid on the side brought Zhang Yi a few plates of snacks, how could Zhang Yi be in the mood to eat.
After Xie Shaoqing said goodbye, Zhang Yi followed Xie Shaoqing out of the palace.
Zhang Guifei called Hongyao in and asked, "Did you ask anything from Zhang Yi's mouth?" ”
Hongyao replied truthfully: "He said that His Highness often reads books with Chen Guan and occasionally goes to sit in Ruyang Mansion. ”
Zhang Guifei squirted out a mouthful of tea, and the palace maid on the side handed over the veil. Zhang Guifei took it and said: "Who is that little rabbit cub fooling, he reads books, and he doesn't take the Xiucai test, and the whole Linjiang City knows that Chen can't read books." ”
Hongyao persuaded: "Your Highness is in a hurry, Niangniang should take your time, don't be too anxious." ”
