Chapter 65: Debate
Zhang Qi was in a good mood, she leaned on Zhang Xuan, and spoke softly for a while, until the sun sank in the west, and then she said goodbye and left.
In the courtyard, the lanterns were fluttering in the wind, and the rooms of the sisters-in-law were only faint candles.
- Candles are very expensive, Rao is the Zhang family is rich, and only those Lang lords and Lang Jun can use them as much as possible. The supply to the concubine is limited.
There was a bright moon in the sky, and in the flickering candlelight, Zhang Qi stepped on the silver white that leaked all over the ground, and walked slowly to the innermost room, his room.
When she came to the room, several maidservants came out of the dark room, saluted her, and said, "Sister-in-law." "There is no green among these handmaidens.
Come to think of it, the bright moon is just right tonight, and she is probably playing with other maids.
"Yes." Zhang Qi nodded and stepped into the room.
A dreamless night.
The next day, Zhang Qi, who got up early in the morning, carefully combed her hair, soaked water with the powder that Xiao Mo gave her, applied to her face and neck and other exposed skin, and walked out.
The powder, she started using now, was ready to soak it a little thicker each time than the last. Thinking about it, day by day, everyone will gradually forget her original skin, thinking that she is originally so yellow, with a little sick.
In the courtyard, the three concubines in the same courtyard had already dressed up and were about to rush to the school. Seeing Zhang Qi walk out, a pair of eyes looked at her at the same time.
Facing their gaze, Zhang Qi lowered his head and timidly saluted them.
When the sisters-in-law saw her cowardice and were satisfied, they glanced at her and left together.
Zhang Qi waited for them to walk for a while before stepping up to follow.
After a while, Zhang Qi came to the outside of the school.
See her coming. The sisters-in-law gathered outside stopped talking and looked at the same time. Regarding Zhang Qi's ability to alarm His Majesty, they had heard it and were curious.
In the eyes of everyone, Zhang Qi stepped into the hall.
That's when she found out. Behind the concubines, there were several cases specially prepared for her. It seems that her treatment has changed from every place.
Belch. What about Zhang Jin? Why didn't you see her?
In the first class, I still learned notation. In the midst of Zhang Qi's head bowed and the humming of the sisters-in-law, a lean old man. This old man's surname is Chen. Like Yuan Jiaoxi, from a great family.
Chen Jiao Xi had a long beard and a cloudy gaze with indifference, and was a notoriously old-fashioned man, who believed in Confucianism and Legalism, unlike the people of the time who liked Taoism. In this era when the general non-Han non-refute Li Si and the complete end of the Legalist family, he is lonely.
Chen Jiaoxi walked in.
He stood up. noticed that the seat had changed. Frowning, he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?" ”
A servant walked in through the door and whispered a few words to the old man.
Wait until he's done. The old man nodded. After motioning for the servant to stand down, he turned to Zhang Qi. Suddenly called: "Zhang's Aqi? ”
"Yes."
Zhang Qi looked up.
The old man recited slowly: "A prostitute has a son who can be a concubine, what is the explanation?" ”
Zhang Qi blinked and replied crisply: "It means that if a prostitute has a child, she can be promoted to a concubine." ”
The expression on the old man's lean and old-fashioned face did not move, and he groaned: "In that case, your mother is a concubine and a prostitute? ”
Spit out a word, the four times were silent at first, and then laughed in the blink of an eye!
Zhang Qi never expected that this Chen Jiaoxi, who was famous for his stubbornness, would humiliate her so viciously!
Her face flushed.
The laughter grew louder and louder. When everyone was a little quiet, Zhang Qi tilted his head.
She looked at Chen Jiaoxi innocently, and looked straight at it, until the laughter subsided, until Chen Jiaoxi raised his eyebrows, and his anger appeared slightly, Zhang Qi opened his mouth crisply, "My mother likes to read Zhuangzi, Ah Qi remembers that it is also such a spring day, she sits at the window, and recites to Ah Qi, "The world is praised without persuasion, the world is not for the sake of not frustration, it is determined that the inside and outside are divided, and the state of honor and disgrace is argued" My mother explained to Ah Qi that this sentence is to say that the whole world praises a person, but that person will not be more diligent, The whole world scolded him, and he was not discouraged by it. Why? Because this man has confessed the division between the inner and outer objects, he has not been frightened. Her mother told Ah Qi that she was also such a person. ”
After a pause, Zhang Qi tilted his head, and his tone became more and more innocent, "Is it because you don't like that kind of person because Jiao Xi hates my mother so much?" ”
She asked if Chen Jiaoxi's rejection of her mother was because he valued fame and fortune too seriously and distinguished right from wrong too clearly.
She is innocent, her tone is pleasant and beautiful, and she speaks like music. Her eyes are clear, her demeanor is natural, and she is as calm and frank as a real person.
This is still an era of indulging in metaphysics and paying attention to naivety!
This is still an era of debate and seeking individuality!
Zhang Qi used the "Zhuangzi" learned in metaphysics to satirize Chen Jiaoxi's stiff worldliness, which was sharp and sharp, which pierced Chen Jiaoxi's face greatly.
The surroundings were quiet.
All the sisters-in-law turned around and looked at Zhang Qi in unison. Although metaphysics is an important subject, they are just sisters-in-law, and when they study normally, they listen to it and forget it. They never imagined that Zhang Qi, a well-behaved and cowardly sister-in-law, would be so proficient in metaphysics! I also refute the teaching in one bite!
Chen Jiaoxi's cloudy eyes widened, panting and glaring at Zhang Qi, shouting, "You! You ......" you for a while, he shouted with a straight face: "What a Zhang Aqi, what a sharp mouth!" ”
Zhang Qi still tilted her head, looking at him innocently, seeing that Chen Jiaoxi was so annoyed that she couldn't finish her words, she blinked her eyes and said crisply: "Why is Jiaoxi angry? You insulted Ah Qi's biological mother for no reason, Ah Qi was not angry, why was Jiao Xi angry? ”
This is ironic Chen Jiaoxi's narrow-mindedness!
"You!" Chen Jiaoxi pointed at Zhang Qi with his middle finger, his eyebrows were angry and angry, his beard flew wildly, and the whole person was so choked that he couldn't turn his breath, but he couldn't refute it.
The genealogy of the major families has a long history, and the Zhang family is even more so. He has devoted his whole life to it, although he knows that all people in the world chant metaphysics, but where can he?
If you really want to talk about what he has learned, he really can't compare to Zhang Qi!
Zhang Qi stood behind. Seeing Chen Jiaoxi's face flushed with anger, he staggered, and shrank his head in fright. She spit out her lilac tongue and said to herself: "It's miserable, if you get angry, Ah Weng." Isn't it a tragedy? ”
The voice of these words is still not low, and it is still heard by Chen Jiaoxi. Seeing him crumbling, Zhang Qi shrank his head. Hurriedly tiptoed to the door, and disappeared into the classroom in a blink of an eye.
It wasn't until Zhang Qi escaped that Chen Jiaoxi came back to his senses. He stared at his sister-in-law curiously. To the servant who was eavesdropping outside the door. I suddenly remembered that what happened in this school would always spread quickly.
Similarly, Zhang Qi's words just now will spread as quickly as possible!
The whole world believes in metaphysics, and her words will make herself a laughing stock in the world!
Suddenly, his old face turned red again!
Zhang Qiyi slipped out of the school. The whole person is a loosening. She ran to the pond in the garden on one side, crouched down beside the rockery, and stuck out her tongue. Quietly thought: I was trying to show my talent step by step, and you stubborn old man bumped into it by himself!
Hum. One by one, they used their mothers to humiliate me and spit on me. Although I am also ashamed of my mother, I must not let you scold you in vain!
I don't know how much trouble and humiliation the origin of Zhang Qi's illegitimate daughter has brought her. She often wondered how good it would have been if her mother hadn't given her birth in the first place.
When she was at her grandfather's house, everyone scolded her for being a wild seed, and the elders often hid her and didn't let her see anyone. As for all kinds of torture, it is even more common.
When her mother was still alive, her mother resented her, and later when her mother passed, she was more like a superfluous one. It is impossible for a person to be in a long-term loneliness and rejection without resentment. Zhang Qi's resentment is still small, she just can't ever have admiration for her mother.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Qi let out a soft snort from his nose.
She knew that in the mansions of major powerful and high-ranking officials, there were also some noble ladies who had eloped or remarried. When these ladies heard her words, they would look at her differently.
Zhang Qi didn't hide for long, because the second class was taught by Yuan Jiaoxi, so as soon as the hour came, she returned to the school as if she was fine.
This time, when she came in, all the sisters-in-law turned their heads to stare at her.
Zhang Qi lowered his head and obediently came to his case.
There was a sound of footsteps, and the humming of the crowd stopped.
After a while, Yuan Jiaoxi's voice came from above, "Have you painted the picture of the ladies last time?" ”
The sisters-in-law responded coquettishly: "It's done." ”
"Okay, it's all on the table."
Zhang Qi lowered his head and also put his paintings on the table.
There was a sound of footsteps.
Yuan Jiaoxi looked at them one by one slowly. When he passed Zhang Qi, he just glanced at it, and then turned to the other sister-in-law.
Seeing that he didn't stop, Zhang Qi was extremely disappointed!
…… It seems that the temptation of those two guqin scores is not big enough.
In her disappointment and crankiness, a lesson was soon over.
Zhang Qi turned around and walked back.
Back in the courtyard, she fell asleep with her pillow in her arms. I don't know if I was tired or what, but this sleep passed for an hour and a half.
There was a sound of footsteps on the ground. In the blink of an eye, Lu rushed into her bedroom.
When a few maids looked at him curiously, Ah Lu hurriedly closed the door, rushed to Zhang Qi's side, and whispered, "Ah Qi, Ah Qi? ”
Zhang Qi opened his eyes lazily, "What's wrong?" ”
"Ah Qi, you are so lazy, why can you still sleep? Those handmaidens are talking about you, they say that you contradicted Chen Jiaoxi, and they say that the mistress will definitely punish you, aren't you afraid? ”
Midori's voice was a little flustered.
Zhang Qi's eyes bent into crescent moons, "Don't be afraid." Her face rubbed twice on the pillow, "I justify my mother's name, it is filial piety, and I quote the scriptures, but I am talented." has a reputation for filial piety and talent, Zhang Xiao didn't dare to punish me. ”
Seeing Ah Lu's eyes widen and look at him with a puzzled expression, Zhang Qi thought of what was the use of telling her this? She didn't understand again, so she stopped.
She turned over and sat up, and said softly, "Is there anything you asked to inquire about?" ”
"I know, that Ah Yue is the son of the family in the house......" Zhang Qi interrupted her words and said in a low voice: "It's not this, it's Xiao Lang's marriage." ”
Lu shook his head, "I haven't heard any news yet. ”
Haven't heard yet?
Xiao Mo is a person who does things, and he will not have a head or tail. Could it be that he has already mentioned it, but the news has been blocked?
Zhang Qi pondered for a while and said, "Let's go out for a walk." (To be continued)
