After such an incident, several people didn't dare to offend Zhang Qi. After learning five words, it was time for dinner.

After dinner, Zhang Qi came to the kitchen designated by Liang's sister-in-law to help arrange the firewood and clean it. After half an hour, she was able to go back to her room.

At this time, the sun had just sunset, and the house was full of lanterns. Not far away, the fragrance of sheng mixed with the fragrance of rouge wafted around, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

It's the favorite time of the day for the Jiankang nobles again.

Zhang Qi opened the screen window of the room, looked at the lights floating in the shadows of the trees, and looked at the place where the sound of sheng came from. That place, she is familiar with, it is the place where the Zhang Mansion collects concubines and singers, and it is also the most likely place for a beautiful girl like her with a low status.

Zhang Qi raised her head, the sky was shining brightly, and through the night fog that filled the sky, she couldn't see farther. But she doesn't need to look at it, she also knows that all the families like the Zhang family, all the powerful and wealthy mansions, are wafting like this at the moment, and the rouge is fragrant.

In this world, there are few beautiful concubines and maidservants in the mansion, and they are not on the table. I remember that the world's first rich stone Chongyaofu was to take the beautiful concubines...... Whenever a distinguished guest came, he would instruct his concubines to persuade him to drink. If the guest doesn't drink, he will cut off the head of the concubine!

Once, he even cut down more than a dozen beautiful concubines in a row.

This matter is still widely circulated to this day, and many nobles have followed suit. People in the world like to mention this matter, not because Shi Chong treats human life like dung, but because he is arrogant! Think of those beautiful concubines, collected from all over the world, and then taught them piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and etiquette, and dressing up, which one didn't spend a hundred gold? But he said that he would cut it, and he didn't feel distressed at all, how similar was that boldness to the priceless coral tree that he smashed with one hammer?

Of course, compared with those concubines, Zhang Qi, who has the blood of Jiankang Zhang, has a more noble identity. But the more noble it is, the more aristocratic and wealthy like to collect.

Zhang Qi took a breath and retracted his thoughts. When she turned her head, her immature face was reflected in the celadon vase.

Stretching out his hand to caress his face, Zhang Qi thought: There is still some time.

There is still some time before her face blooms.

Back in the room, with the floating light outside, Zhang Qi took out the brush distributed in the school today, took a deep breath, and began to write in the air.

In this era, paper is precious and rare. Zhang's family is also a wealthy family, but it is impossible for such a rich and noble family to take out a large amount of precious paper and ink to practice calligraphy for a sister-in-law like Zhang Qi, who has no status. In order to avoid wasting brushes, she can't even practice on a table with water in hand.

Gazing at the gods, practicing in the air one stroke at a time.

After practicing for an hour, Zhang Qi went to bed early.

……

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Qi returned to Zhang's house, and it has been three months. It was late autumn when she came, and now that winter has passed, it has entered early spring.

After eating well and sleeping well in the past three months, Zhang Qi's height has risen a lot like a delicate sapling. Moreover, the blue and white color of malnutrition on the face and body was gradually replaced by a white and ruddy complexion.

Zhang Qi, who is fourteen years old in a few months, if it is a serious sister-in-law of Zhangfu, they have already begun to look at each other and are ready to make a marriage contract.

In the room, Zhang Qi pressed the bronze mirror, reached out to hold the scissors, and cut the hair blocking the eyes a little shorter...... Her hairstyle, after she carefully examined, just obscured her three-point appearance. With her current countenance, which is only five points in color, this block can only be said to be delicate and not dazzling.

As soon as he stood up, a servant girl's clear voice came from outside, "Ah Qi Ah Qi, I heard that your father is back, do you know?" As she spoke, a round-faced, big-eyed, fourteen or fifteen-year-old maidservant pushed the door in.

Zhang Qi raised her head and saw the servant girl Bo Shi Powder, she couldn't help pursing her lips and smiled: "In addition to him, there is also a beautiful Xiaolang who is also back, right?" ”

The narrowness on her face made the maidservant Ah Lu's face red, she pursed her mouth and snorted softly, and smiled again in a blink of an eye, "You are usually stuffy in the room, of course you don't know anything." Tell you, Shaw's Molang is also here. ”

As soon as he said this Xiao Mo, Ah Lu's face was flushed, and his eyes were dripping.

Xiao Shi Mo Lang, Zhang Qi has heard calluses in his ears for three months, it is said that he looks like a jade tree in the wind, very handsome, and he is quite talented at a young age, and the poems he made are recited in the north and south of the river.

When Ah Lu said this, seeing Zhang Qi's disapproving look, he couldn't help pouting and said, "I'll tell you Ah Qi, have you ever met Mo Lang, and after you meet him, I'm sure you'll like him too." ”

Speaking of this, Ah Lu's eyes rolled, and he suddenly rushed forward, pulled Zhang Qi hard, dragged her and rushed out of the door.

Zhang Qi caught her off guard, and couldn't help but stumble, and when she came back to her senses, the person had been dragged out of the door by Ah Lu.

Before Zhang Qi could speak, Ah Lu had already said with a smile: "Ah Qi, isn't your father back?" You are so bored here, it will take the year of the monkey to remember your daughter? I said, let's go to the front yard now, maybe your father will recognize your daughter by a glance. Then, with one mouth, you will live a good life that only a serious sister-in-law can live in Zhangfu. ”

Zhang Qi laughed and laughed, she said crisply: "Obviously I want you to see something Xiao Lang, but I found such an excuse." Having said that, she finally followed in the footsteps of Ah Lu.

From here to the front yard, it is half an hour away. Ah Lu dragged Zhang Qi to run away, and when she arrived in the front yard, she was also out of breath, and the fat powder specially applied on her face took a lot of money.

Stretching out his hand to wipe his face, Ah Lu screamed with regret, "It's all you, you live so far away, I will delay for so long just looking for you." ”

Hearing her complaint and seeing the chagrin in Ah Lu's eyes, Zhang Qi couldn't help but purse her lips and smile. She whispered: "It's just makeup, what's so angry?" ”

Ah Lu was about to refute, but saw Zhang Qi take out a handkerchief from his arms and lightly dip it on his face.

Zhang Qi's movements were gentle and regular, and after wiping for a while, Ah Luqi said, "Why are you wiping in front of the corners of my eyes and ears for so long?" Zhang Qi didn't reply, withdrew her fingers that were stained with her fingers, and pulled her hair back together.

After a while, Zhang Qi put away the handkerchief, and Ah Lu pulled her forward again. As he walked, Ah Lu saw the pond next to him, so he said sullenly, "I'll see if I can see people." ”

Running to the edge of the pond, Zhang Qi screamed. She was stunned and pointed to herself in the pond, her cheeks were obviously smaller, and her eyebrows and eyes were more bright and deep, and she was about to say something, but she patted herself on the back of her head, and exclaimed: "The place where the masters live is different, and even the water in the pond shines brighter than ours." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Qi burst into laughter. At the same time as her laughter, there was a clear laughter of a young man.
