Chapter Seventy-Two: Twists and Turns

As soon as they saw Zhang Qi coming in listlessly, several maids glanced at each other.

Lazily re-poured into the collapse.

After a while, Ah Lu broke in, she rushed to Zhang Qi's side, and asked with concern, "Ah Qi, what's wrong with you?" Is something wrong? ”

Zhang Qi raised her eyes to look at her, shook her head, and said, "It's okay." ”

Lu stared at her with wide eyes, not believing it at all.

Zhang Qi hugged his head and groaned, "It's just that some money has been dropped." ”

"Huh?" Ah Lu was more painful than Zhang Qi, and her round face was wrinkled. After a while, I heard her staggering into the side room.

When she returned, she had a handkerchief in her hand. Carefully handing the handkerchief into Zhang Qi's hand, Ah Lu wrinkled his bun face, looked at it reluctantly for a while, and said very resolutely: "Ah Qi, don't be sad, this is for you." ”

Zhang Qi was stunned and looked at the handkerchief in his hand.

Well, the handkerchief is embroidered with a pair of plum blossoms, and the embroidery is a bit miserable.

Zhang Qi opened the handkerchief.

Inside are some small pieces of loose copper and gold jewelry. Seeing Zhang Qi looking at them puzzled, Ah Lu said: "This is Ah Lu's bounty monthly payment, Ah Qi, don't be sad." ”

This kid!

Zhang Qi was inexplicably moved, she smiled softly, wrapped the handkerchief, gently put it in Ah Lu's hand, and said angrily: "Idiot! I've got a lot of that. ”

Ah Lu looked at her puzzled, and said strangely: "But didn't the girl say it just now?" ”

Zhang Qi shook her head, she fell backwards to the ground, looked at the roof beam and muttered, "I'm just ......" She didn't continue, but pulled Ah Lu and whispered in her ear: "It's okay to go around the courtyard of Aunt Jin and see what the result of Xiao Jialangjun's proposal is." ”

This is also what Ah Lu is interested in. Her eyes lit up. He jumped up with a grin, "Okay, good." Without saying a word, he turned around and rushed out.

In less than half an hour, Ah Lu returned. She ran to her bedroom and carefully closed the door. leaned over to Zhang Qi, who was obviously a little nervous, and whispered, "Sister Jin is crying, very sad." ”

Zhang Jin is crying? It seems that it will not work.

Zhang Qi smiled. Slowly stood up. She whispered, "It still doesn't work." In the dimly lit bedroom, her eyes were stunningly clear.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Ah Lu also grinned.

At this time. Outside, the voice of a servant girl was heard. "Sister-in-law, someone sent a wooden box."

"Who?" Midori opened the door.

Ah Yue stood outside the room, still smiling at Ah Lu, but she didn't dare to despise it as she did at the beginning. Lowering her head, she held a wooden box in both hands, "Said it was given by Xuan Xiaolang." ”

Ah Lu took the wooden box, closed the door again, and walked to Zhang Qi's side.

Zhang Qi took the box. In Ah Lu's wide-open and curious eyes, the lid of the box was opened.

The box was empty, except for a piece of silk paper folded into a pair of delphiniums.

Reach out and take the paper bird's nest. I only heard a "ding" sound, and an old lotus seed fell from the swallow's belly. Roll down on a few.

The silk paper is clean, there is nothing, such a big box, only a double delphinium, a lotus seed.

Seeing Zhang Qi frowning, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth. It's just that smile, how to look at it a little mocking, Ah Lu asked curiously, "What is this?" Why did Xuan Langjun send this? ”

Zhang Qi shook her head, and she said in a low voice, "This is not sent by the ninth brother. ”

In Ah Lu's puzzled eyes, she slowly stood up and said softly, "It was given by Xiao Mo." ”

"Xiao Lang? What does that mean? ”

Zhang Qi turned around, she smiled at Ah Lu, and said softly: "Lotus seed, "Pity Ziye", he gave me an old lotus seed to tell me that he pitied me and loved me, and he was willing to grow old together. The same is true of the pair of swiftlets, he means that although he is a rich and noble family, he is willing to become a double swift with me like a lover in the folk. ”

When the swallow chooses the nest, it is not picky about the rich and the poor, and the men and women who love each other often take the swallow as a metaphor and are willing to fly together. Xiao Mo meant to tell her that although he couldn't give her glory and wealth, he had a sincere heart, right? He still thinks that she will give up everything and fly with him, not to be famous and rich to be an outer room, right?

Ah Lu flattened his mouth and said, "It's so difficult to understand." ”

"It's not hard to understand." Zhang Qi said in a low voice.

It's not difficult to understand, at least the sisters-in-law who have entered the school know it. The Northern and Southern Dynasties were different from the Han Dynasty, and the later Tang and Song dynasties, and the literati and writers of this era, lovesick men and women, all liked to use pun metaphors to express their mood. They like to express their feelings in twists and turns. The more twists and turns, the more subtle and precise the meaning, the more praised it becomes.

Lowering his head, Zhang Qi threw the silk paper into the charcoal stove. At that time, it was still spring, and the weather was cold, and Zhang Qi's room was always equipped with a charcoal stove.

The paper was put into the fire, and a flame rose from the ground, and in a blink of an eye, the white and clean paper was burned to ashes.

Ah Lu shouted softly on the side: "Such an expensive paper, Ah Qi is really a waste." ”

The corners of Zhang Qi's mouth twitched, and he whispered, "What about expensive?" It will be broken when it is stabbed, and it will turn into ashes when it is burned, and it is very light! ”

In the tone, there was a deep resentment.

I was just about to throw the lotus seed into it. In a blink of an eye, Zhang Qi thought, it is still spring, and this lotus seed is clearly last year's inventory. Now that he has lost it, in case Xiao Mo asks, he can't find a place to find a replacement. Then he threw it to Ah Lu and said, "Help me put it away." ”

"Yes."

After Ah Lu collected the lotus seeds, he came behind Zhang Qi and asked curiously, "Ah Qi, weren't you very happy just now?" ”

Zhang Qi looked back at her and said in a low voice: "Xiao Mo was just rejected for marriage, so he gave me this in a blink of an eye." He wants to calm my heart, but he also doesn't give up. ”

Although she already knew that Xiao Mo would not let her go easily, but seeing that she was in the rockery, the tears and cries did not move him at all, and he still wanted to turn himself into his outer room, so she became irritable.

After pacing in the room for a while, Zhang Qi bit her lip and said, "The bright moon is just right outside, Ah Lu, let's take a walk." ”

"Okay."

The moon is indeed just right outside, today is the fifteenth, and a full moon hangs in the sky, illuminating the sky and the earth. Walking in the moonlight, when the spring breeze blows, a floral fragrance overflows with the wind, which makes people indescribably comfortable.

After walking for a while, Zhang Qi's mood improved significantly. Seeing this, Ah Lu also grinned and laughed.

At this moment, a faint flute sound came. Zhang Qi listened attentively and chased after the sound of the flute.

The sound of the flute came from the pavilion where Zhang Xuan usually stayed. On the pavilion at this moment, there are four or five young Lang Jun, one of whom is holding a jade flute and playing in front of the bright moon. The sound of the flute is long, the spring breeze is rippling, and the water is rippling, this beautiful scenery is so gorgeous that people want to cry. For a while, Zhang Qi was stupid.

Ah Lu didn't notice Zhang Qi's sorrow, she touched her and whispered, "Ah Qi's performance is good." Ah Qi, should we go over? ”

Indeed, Zhang Qi is much more talented in the way of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting than ordinary people.

Hearing Ah Lu's words, Zhang Qi woke up from her distraction, she smiled lowly, and said self-deprecatingly: "Yes, I play a lot more beautifully...... Maybe God thinks that with my appearance, it would be a pity not to be a trick to dump sentient beings? So in my memory, a lot of things have been forgotten, but the memory of these things is deep in the bone marrow? Her voice was so low that Lu couldn't hear it clearly.
