Chapter Seventy-Four: Guan
As early as hearing Zhang Jin crying bitterly, and then did not appear in the school for two days, Zhang Qi guessed that there was a day.
Thinking that she looks so "ordinary", and she is still young and young, no matter who looks at her, they won't believe that she can hook Xiao Mo, right?
Fang Fang, Zhang Qi heard the maid's order, and his heart was not flustered.
She knelt down in an orderly manner, and she didn't panic, but just raised her head, looked at the eldest lady with a pair of stunned and a little innocent eyes, and said loudly: "Grandmother, Ah Qi didn't seduce Mo Lang of the Xiao family. ”
As soon as the words were spoken, the maid who had just spoken was stunned. Zhang Qi was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head, but after lowering her head, she couldn't help muttering: "Ah Qi is not beautiful, so he doesn't like it." Mo Lang's love is obviously Sister Jin. ”
The muttering sound was clear and clear to the ears of several people in the room.
The eldest lady lowered her head and stared at Zhang Qi seriously.
The girl in front of her, with delicate facial features, is still delicate when you look closely, her eyes are also bright, and her courage is not small, but unfortunately her skin is slightly yellow, which makes the whole person lose a kind of light.
In this era, both men and women, they talk about beauty, and they never just talk about the facial features. In an era when fat powder is still very simple and makeup is only an occasional embellishment, a person's appearance from the inside out is the key to beauty.
With such a look, even the maidservants in the house are inferior. The eldest lady frowned slightly.
In the past two days, Zhang Jinxun has made a lot of trouble, and on that end, Xiao Mo did not give up, and he also made Xiao Ce agree with him.
Thinking of this, the eldest lady became angry. The reasons she found before could be said about Your Majesty, and she could also say that she could move the rest of the Xiao family. But for people like Xiao Ce. It's completely useless.
Besides, she was out of words for explaining again and again, and she always felt that there were many eyes staring at her suspiciously.
Thinking of this, the eldest lady's face was a little gloomy!
Then. The servant girl sneered, "You didn't seduce? So what have you done to make a big man miss you. Insist on taking you as a concubine? ”
Zhang Qi bit her lip and argued cautiously: "Ah Qi is talented." ”
The voice fell, and the servant girl sneered and snorted heavily. Her voice is loud. It scared Zhang Qi, who lowered his head, into a tremble.
Then. Zhang Qi's face turned pale, and he said with a crying voice: "Ah Qi is really talented, Ah Qi's embroidered paintings, as well as the piano scores, have been pleased by His Majesty." When His Majesty summoned Ah Qi to the palace that day, Ah Qi heard a eunuch saying that although Ah Qi looked ordinary, he was really talented. ”
One bite of "Ah Qi". In a crisp and crisp manner, he told her that she was talented and that His Majesty thought she looked ordinary.
These. Some of the eldest lady knows, and some she doesn't. Listening to the sister-in-law who was kneeling on the ground sobbing. The eldest lady closed her eyes.
Seeing her action, the maids knew that the eldest lady was thinking. One by one, they stood solemnly and did not dare to disturb.
After a long time, the eldest lady spoke, "Take her down." ”
This was the first time Zhang Qi heard the eldest lady speak, with a slight phlegm voice.
The eldest lady sat up straight and said lightly: "Locked up with Aunt Jin." ”
"Yes."
The two maids stepped forward, dragged Zhang Qi's arm and walked out. Zhang Qi didn't struggle, and after being dragged out a few steps, she seemed to think of something, so she turned around, crisp and crisp, and shouted with a bit of innocence and recklessness: "Grandmother, Ah Qi heard a monk in the countryside say that those who are deficient in yin and fire should not be close to sandalwood, saying that it is easy to cause coughing up phlegm and blood." ”
The Grand Lady looked up.
She met Zhang Qiqing's clear and bright eyes, which still had the innocence of a child.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Qi was dragged out.
The eldest lady helped a servant girl to stand up, and ordered majestically: "Clean up the East Lotus Garden, and move over today." ”
A maid approached and whispered, "Big lady, it's just a young girl, ...... childish" Before she finished speaking, the big lady had already turned her head to stare at her, and said, "Let's listen to it." ”
All the maids brushed their hands together, "Yes." ”
The courtyard where Zhang Jin is being held is not far from here. As soon as he entered the courtyard, a faint cry came into Zhang Qi's ears intermittently.
This cry was very sad and desperate, listening to it, Zhang Qi lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and sympathized with Zhang Jin for the first time.
The two maids quickly stepped forward, opened the lock of the door, and pushed Zhang Qi in. It wasn't until the lock fell with a "clang" that Zhang Qi came back to his senses.
There are three rooms, a hall, a dormitory, and a small room with a bucket and a bathtub, and a locked door leading to the outside.
Zhang Jin was lying on the bed in the bedroom, covering her head with a brocade quilt, crying, unlocking and locking, Zhang Qi came in, but she was not alarmed.
Seeing her crying desperately, Zhang Qi walked behind her, her lips moved, but she couldn't persuade her.
No one knows better than Zhang Qi that Xiao Mo has no feelings for Zhang Jin, and marrying him may not be Zhang Jin's blessing.
After a pause, Zhang Qi turned around and walked outside.
At this time, Zhang Jin stopped crying, she turned her head and shouted with teary eyes: "Who are you?" ”
"Sister Jin, I'm Ah Qi."
After a while, Zhang Jin came back to her senses, she stared at a pair of red and swollen, bloodshot eyes, and asked hoarsely, "Ah Qi?" How did you get here? ”
"It's my grandmother, she asked me a few words, and then she locked me up with my sister."
"Don't call her grandmother! She insisted on going her own way, she would rather force her to die than let me be with Xiao Lang, she is not my grandmother-" Zhang Jin cried out hoarsely. She sat up straight, stretched out her hand to grab Zhang Qi's arm, and said with teary eyes, "Did Amo tell you something?" What did he have to say? Does he know I'm locked up? ”
Sentence after sentence, his eyes were full of expectation. Zhang Qi couldn't answer, just shook his head stupidly.
Zhang Jin saw her shaking her head, she was very annoyed, she pushed Zhang Qi hard, causing Zhang Qi to stumble backwards, sit on the ground with her buttocks, and cry again.
Looking at Zhang Jin, who was in tears and looking desperate and painful, Zhang Qi couldn't guess the purpose of the eldest lady to lock herself up here. Since she couldn't figure it out, she didn't want to.
Back in the hall, Zhang Qi leaned against the collapse. Lazily doze off.
After a while, a maidservant's voice sounded outside, "Sister Qi, what do you need?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Qi immediately stood up. shouted: "I want the best embroidery thread and ......" As soon as he said this, Zhang Jin in the bedroom hissed and scolded: "Who let you speak?" It's hard to hear! ”
Zhang Qi hurriedly closed her mouth, and the footsteps of the maid gradually faded away.
To Zhang Qi's surprise. Just when she thought there would be no follow-up, about half an hour later, a burden came in from the window.
Zhang Qi hurriedly took it. Open it and take a look. Sure enough, it is full of the most precious embroidery thread and splendid silk surface.
These are all more precious than what she usually got from Zhang Xuan.
Idle, Zhang Qi began to embroider.
She knew that there were people watching outside the window from time to time, and she also knew that everything she did would reach the ears of the eldest lady.
She didn't know what kind of temperament the eldest lady was, but Wen Yuan asked her to behave "bolder". It shows that this old man likes a direct and clear way of speaking, and he also likes people who are rational and qualitative, and not tired of crookedness.
Lives in a dark room. Embroidering quietly like this is what Zhang Qi likes to do. At this time, she was. You can let go of those lingering worries, or you can forget your origins and grow up day by day.
In the evening, Zhang Jin was tired of crying and had slept once, and Zhang Qi also embroidered a corner of the scene.
The lock opened, and two maidservants entered. After spreading food in the room and putting clean water, the two maidservants withdrew.
Zhang Jin sat at the head of the bed, watching their movements coldly, she had obviously been entangled with them two days ago, and there was indignation in her expression at this time.
With a bang, the door was locked again, and absolute silence returned to the courtyard inside and outside.
Looking at the outrageously simple rice fingers, the room with no petal hot water, no comfortable and clean clothes, and no way to wash, Zhang Jin suddenly picked up the collapsed jade pillow and smashed it towards Zhang Qi.
The incident happened suddenly, Zhang Qi avoided it, and his shoulder was hit hard. She fell backwards, a muffled pain coming out of her mouth. But he just took a step back and didn't blame anything.
Zhang Jin glanced at her and scolded: "Slut! ”
Zhang Qi retreated to the corner, looked down at his toes, and did not say a word.
Zhang Jin's resentment has not disappeared, she rushed to a few cases, swept Zhang Qi's meal heavily, and in a few broken sounds, the food bowls and chopsticks were scattered all over the ground.
Zhang Qi still kept his head down, no movement or squeak.
At this time, Zhang Jin was obviously a little tired. After she sat down and gasped for breath for a while, she suddenly turned to Zhang Jin and screamed, "Slut! Has Xiao Lang contacted you in the past two days? ”
In the dimming light, Zhang Qi shook his head and said in a low voice, "No." ”
"Useless fool!"
In the room, Zhang Jin's sobbing sound began to sound again.
Xu was tired of crying, and a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Jin ate her share of food while crying.
It was late at night.
After Zhang Jin vented, he fell groggily on the collapse of the bedroom. Zhang Qi cowered on the collapse of the hall, and her stomach began to growl.
But this is nothing, when she was at her grandfather's house, it was common for her to be starved and imprisoned.
In the blink of an eye, the night passed.
Zhang Qi, who was thrown by Zhang Jin for breakfast again, and Zhang Qi, who was torn by her embroidered handkerchief, was quietly taken out of the courtyard by two maidservants.
She saw the eldest lady again, but this time, not in the sandalwood house, but in a beautiful courtyard full of lotus leaves.
Looking at Zhang Qi, who was respectfully kneeling at his feet, starved twice and beaten so much that he couldn't lift his arms, but he was still refreshed, and he couldn't see the slightest haggard and resentment on his face, the eldest lady's voice came condescendingly, "Ah Qi, right?" You're so young, but you can bear it! ”
As soon as the eldest lady's voice fell, a middle-aged woman also sneered beside her: "At a young age, you hide so deeply, no wonder you can charm the Xiao family Molang!" ”
Zhang Qi raised his head.
She glanced at the eldest lady in disbelief, slowly lowered her head, and muttered, "When Ah Qi was four years old, her mother died...... Although my grandfather's family has people in the land and has no worries about food and clothing, Ah Qi is a person with no surname and no father, she was beaten to the point that her head was broken and she was locked up, and she was hungry for two meals, which was the most common. She knew that a big man like the eldest lady was impatient to listen to a long story from someone like her.
After saying this in a calm and ordinary tone, Zhang Qi lowered her head, "Sister Jin is just straight, she is not bad." She said this sentence very resolutely and decisively, and she was convinced.
The eldest lady didn't know if she believed her words, and after glancing at her, she nodded at the maid. At that moment, the maid shouted in a clear voice: "Go and invite Xiao Jialangjun over." (To be continued)
