Chapter 43: Swapping
The discussion became more and more intense, and the imagination of the people became richer and richer. Zhang Qi saw that the people were almost there, so he sneaked out and mixed in with the crowd.
After a while, Xiao Mo said: "Don't delay this place for a long time, since everyone has arrived, let's go." A sentence reminded everyone that since there may be thieves here, it is better to leave quickly.
Everyone hurriedly got into the carriage, and Zhang Qi also got into his own carriage.
As soon as Zhang Jin sat down, he saw Zhang Qi go up in the carriage next to him. She glared at her, and was about to get angry, when she saw Xiao Mo's carriage, she finally softened her voice, "Where did you go just now?" ”
It turned out that Zhang Jin had also noticed himself.
Zhang Qi didn't know that Zhang Jin had been paying attention to Xiao Mo, and only then did he find that Zhang Qi was also gone.
Zhang Qi said in a low voice: "I, I want to go to the toilet, I walked, but I lost my direction." Seeing Zhang Jin's face as cold as water, she bit her tongue in a hurry, "Sister, don't worry, I said, I said, I didn't see what it was like outside, and I lost my way when I was playful." ”
When she said this, Zhang Jin believed it. She glared, lowered her voice and shouted, "It's just a person who has never seen the world!" ”
As she was talking, she felt a glimmer of gaze, and she hurriedly turned around.
Looking at her, it was Xiao Mo. Looking at each other, Xiao Mo smiled softly at Zhang Jin. This smile was like a plate of ice water in summer, Zhang Jin's whole body was cold, and the loneliness of being snubbed by him in this game disappeared at once.
Originally, this trip was advocated by Xiao Mo, and at that time, Zhang Jin thought that he could get along with Ai Lang happily for half a day.
With Xiao Mo's smile, Zhang Jin's mood obviously improved, and when he looked at Zhang Qi, he no longer raised his eyebrows so horizontally.
Zhang Qi looked at this and couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the eldest lady has already agreed that Xiao Mo and Zhang's sister-in-law are close?
Thinking like this, she was startled, her hands tightly twisted her handkerchief, Zhang Qi thought: If the eldest lady's ban is lifted, as soon as the matter of King Guangling is resolved, she will be sent to the Xiao Mansion by a carriage.
No, it can't be like this!
She bit her lip and thought: It's really not good to feel so passive!
As he pondered this, he felt a beam of eyes looking at him. Zhang Qi raised her head, and when she looked up, Zhang Xuan smiled softly at her and nodded.
It's the ninth brother.
In front of him, Zhang Qi was relaxed, and she smiled back.
The carriage drove back to Zhang's house.
As soon as she landed, Zhang Qi felt very tired. Back in the room, she lay lazily on the collapse, if it weren't for her identity, she didn't have the qualifications to bathe at will, she wanted to soak in the water to cool down.
Turning his head sideways and looking at the sky outside the screen window, Zhang Qi thought: I can only wait.
Yes, she can only wait, whether it is King Guangling's decision or Xiao Mo's actions, she can only passively accept it.
Perhaps, in the eyes of some people, she has to be honored to be asked for by two men who are so good. But Zhang Qi deeply understands that they ask for themselves, which is no different from asking for any of the same items in their image, but they are just playthings.
In memory, she is not a plaything, and in this life, she is even less likely to be a plaything!
Thinking of the exhaustion, Zhang Qi closed his eyes.
It wasn't until Ah Lu's laughter floated from outside from time to time that Zhang Qi sat up. She took out the deed that Xiao Mo gave them from her arms, gritted her teeth, lay on the ground and turned out the previous deed, and then put them together.
This house should be earned by yourself!
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Zhang Qi lived very calmly.
Early the next morning, Zhang Qi found Zhang Xuan, who was still studying on the pavilion, snuggled up to him, and after learning poetry from him for a while, Zhang Qi lowered his eyes in a daze.
Zhang Xuan looked at her and asked with concern, "Ah Qi is not well?" ”
Zhang Qi shook his head and said in a low voice, "No." She blinked her eyes, thought about it, and said, "I have something to hide from the ninth brother." She looked at him, "Ninth brother, will you blame me?" ”
Seeing her pitiful and cute expression, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but reach out and stroke her hair, and said gently: "How can the ninth brother blame you?" ”
Zhang Qi smiled brightly and said, "Really, the ninth brother doesn't blame me?" She looked at him and whispered, "Last time, I embroidered a painting and put it outside for consignment, but His Majesty saw it and gave me eighty gold ......."
Zhang Xuan couldn't believe it, and exclaimed: "Really! ”
Facing Zhang Qi, who looked serious and not fake, he stood up, put his hands on his shoulders and said: "Today, Your Majesty has a deep attainment in the way of poetry and painting, and even Your Majesty likes the things embroidered by Ah Qi?" It must be excellent, excellent. ”
Zhang Qi blushed from his praise, she took out a handkerchief from her arms, looked at Zhang Xuan from under her eyelashes, and said happily and shyly: "It's the same as this." ”
Zhang Xuan stretched out his hand to take it.
As soon as he opened the handkerchief, he was stunned. In the blink of an eye, he sighed: "Ah Qi is really smart! In a blink of an eye, it was not surprising that he thought of Huiying when she was studying poetry.
Zhang Qi carefully took out an oil ladle again, glanced around, and after seeing that no one was paying attention, she bit her lip and said, "Here are two house deeds and some land deeds, which were purchased by Najin." Ah Qi wanted to ask the ninth brother to help me sell it. ”
She lowered her head, twisted the corner of her clothes with her left hand, and murmured, "I thought that if I could marry one day, these would be used as a dowry...... Now Ah Qi understands that this body is duckweed after all, and maybe one day it will float to the end of the sky. It's better to keep some money around. ”
Her tone was low, and her small body shivered in the spring breeze.
Rao is Zhang Xuan has long been used to it, and Rao is he thinks from the bottom of his heart that it is very normal for a lowly concubine to be an illegitimate daughter who is asked to be a concubine. At this moment, there was also a trace of pity.
He looked at Zhang Qi, as if until this moment, he realized that she was also a living person, afraid of death, afraid of loneliness, and afraid of bullying.
Zhang Xuan was silent and took the oil bag from her hand.
As soon as he took it, he saw Zhang Qi looking at the oil bag, and on that little face, in addition to hope, there was also nervousness, fear, and even confusion...... It seems that what he holds in his hand is the support of her life and the foundation of her life. Without them, she has nothing!
Zhang Xuan was sad for a while.
He put the oil bag in his arms, reached out to caress her face, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, my brother will do it properly." ”
In the blink of an eye, he asked with concern, "Is it proper to change the money?" ”
Zhang Qi shook her head, and she whispered: "Ah Qi has heard that when the prostitutes and concubines of those big mansions leave the house and enter the house, some powerful slaves will be searched. ”
Zhang Xuan frowned and pondered for a while, then said, "How about replacing it all with gold?" Jin Xiao Yi hidden. ”
Zhang Qi nodded vigorously, her little white face was cute and painful, "Okay, okay, thank you Brother Nine." ”
Zhang Xuan had already made up his mind at this time, and after it was folded into gold, he would add some more to it. It is said that the price has increased.
He reached out and pinched Zhang Qi's tender face, and said with a smile: "No thanks." After a pause, he said: "In the future, if you allow people, the Ninth Brother will take care of them, so as not to let that frivolous and debaucherous person go." ”
What's the use of that? Is Xiao Mo a promiscuous person? King Guangling is even more not. Guan Jian is that she cannot marry anyone as a prostitute or concubine.
Of course, Zhang Qi will not say it. She looked at Zhang Xuan Yifu mischievously and said with a smile: "Then Ah Qi thank you Brother Nine." ”
