Zhang Xiao listened to Zhang Qi's words, looked at the handkerchief she was holding again, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

A sister-in-law, who has no dignity with her maidservant, is she embarrassed to show that she knows the rules? Hmph, such a stupid person is still called smart? It's a lot worse than my family.

She waved her hand and frowned, "Take it back." ”

Zhang Jin also laughed on the side: "You still keep it and sell two coppers!" What kind of person is my mother, who is impatient to take you a handkerchief? ”

Zhang Xuan sat aside, watching things develop in a direction he didn't know, he wanted to exaggerate, but he was worried that it would backfire, so he simply didn't say anything.

Seeing that Zhang Xiao didn't look at it, Zhang Qi lowered his head and took back the veil in a daze.

…… Now, she has finally crossed the road here in the Zhang family. One day, Zhang Xuan or Xiao Mo said about embroidery, and was held accountable by Zhang Xiao, and she also had something to say.

At this time, Zhang Xiao said, "Go out." ”

"Yes."

Zhang Qi slowly retreated.

At this moment, several servant girls respectfully called: "The servant has seen Lord Lang. ”

Zhang Shishilang is here?

Since that day, Zhang Qi has not seen him for a long time. When she heard footsteps, her head lowered.

…… Zhang Xiao and Zhang Jin are here, and she doesn't dare to recognize this father.

As soon as Zhang Shishilang entered, he saw his wife and children, he stared at Zhang Xuan, who was giving gifts, and asked gently, "Can you write in the past two days?" ”

Zhang Xuan said respectfully to his father: "The day before yesterday, my son's eyes were swollen and his eyes were red, and he had recovered after using peppermint liquid. ”

Hearing that his son wrote for such a trivial matter, Zhang Shishilang not only did not get angry, but nodded and said, "Yes, you go and show it to your father." ”

This era, and the endowment of this era, are delicate and trivial, just like this woman and literati in the south, there is a lack of fortitude and depth in nature. Northland is the opposite.

Zhang Xuan answered, turned around and walked out.

As he passed Zhang Qi, he made a look and motioned for her to stand down.

Zhang Qi bowed his head and retreated.

Until she left the room, Zhang Shishilang didn't see her. After walking a few steps, Zhang Qi heard loud laughter from inside, and couldn't help but stop and look at it in a daze.

With just one look, she looked back.

Zhang Xuan's footsteps paused slightly, and when he passed the courtyard, and when there were few people around, he said in a low voice: "I didn't think about my brother. ”

Zhang Qi shook his head, said in a low and weak voice: "Brother Ah Qi spoke for Ah Qi in front of his mother, Ah Qi is really grateful. ”

She lowered her head, timid and weak, and her petite figure was like a spring breeze. Zhang Xuan looked at her and secretly thought: My sister is small and fleshy, I don't know how many tears I have shed for my own life experience, thinking about how weak the waist shown by the reflection in the water is when she leans on the pavilion. Recently, I was grateful and wrote a fu for her. Although I didn't say who she was, I think my Fu is also in line with "outstanding temperament, new and talented", and I will take it out another day for everyone to taste it, and it must be not inferior to Xiao Mo's "Beauty Fu".

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xuan remembered something and suddenly called, "Ah Qi? ”

Zhang Qi looked back.

Facing her misty eyes, Zhang Xuan secretly praised Zhang Qi's beauty in his heart, thinking that he had forgotten to write her eyes into the fu.

Zhang Qi didn't see him speak for a long time, and couldn't help but call: "Ninth brother? ”

Zhang Xuan came to his senses, he took a step forward and whispered to Zhang Qi, "Chen Yi still wants to see you." ”

In Zhang Qi's wide, puzzled eyes, he whispered, "I told him what you thought." Ah Yi said, because you don't know him, if you come into contact with him, you will definitely rejoice in her. Although his family is not rich, he can chew it. Ah Qiru has entered the rich family, and most of the housemothers are sisters-in-law, so it is still a question whether she can tolerate you. He himself is good-looking, and he really values you, and he is willing to pay money to ask for a job, and in the future, when the housewife enters the door, she will not let her deceive you. He wants you to think deeply. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xuan asked: "Ah Qi, what Chen Yi said is very reasonable, you better think about it." ”

Zhang Qi lowered her eyes, and she shook her head.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Xuan sighed secretly, but he thought in his heart: If she has the opportunity, she has to let Ah Qi and Chen Yi be together, maybe she will change her mind.

Although the Chen family is a royal family, it is a real humble family. As a child of the clan, Chen Yi is not very proud. Therefore, although Zhang Qi's illegitimate daughter status is low, just because she is Zhang's daughter, although she can't marry him as a wife, it is completely enough to be a concubine for him. Later, Chen Yi's wife entered the door, and for the sake of Zhang's name and his brother's support behind his back, he didn't dare to bully her too much.

After the brother and sister said goodbye, Zhang Qi returned to the room.

As soon as she sat in the room, she was intently suspicious. Her mind was a little chaotic and she wanted to calm herself down by being busy.

In memory, she was the wife of a family. But now, she feels that every step is difficult.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qi looked at the corner where he was hiding gold, and after a while, his heart calmed down again.

In such a short period of time, she had so much gold. Now that the King of Guangling is gone, he will no longer wander in a foreign land, so why don't you find an opportunity to let the ninth brother buy him some other land? One hundred and fifty gold, in addition to a small courtyard, I don't know how much fertile land can be placed?

However, his appearance is the most likely to cause trouble, and he will not live in peace if he stays in the yard, so he has to ponder and ponder.

When Zhang Qi was drowsy, a sound of footsteps came.

Then, Ah Lu's footsteps were a little flustered. With a creak, she hurried into the room.

Facing Zhang Qi, who was looking at her with wide eyes, Ah Lu rushed to her and whispered, "Ah Qi, the emperor has sent someone." ”

The emperor sent someone?

Zhang Qi looked at Ah Lu with wide eyes and motioned for her to continue.

Ah Lu took a breath and continued: "I heard from those people that the envoys of various countries are about to leave Jiankang, and Your Majesty wants to give them some beautiful concubines. But I don't know which messenger spoke, saying that there are many concubines, and if Your Majesty is willing, it is better to give them some sisters-in-law of high-ranking families in the south. Your Majesty was not happy, but what did another person say, how soft and charming the daughter of the south is, and those scholars who have been inherited for thousands of years are even more fascinated by those northerners, if you can get a noble sister-in-law of the scholar clan as a concubine, the husband of the north is really very honored. When he heard this, His Majesty was delighted. He has sent an order to the major families, ordering each family to give two sisters-in-law. Don't dare to ask for a concubine or a celebrity, as long as it is a person of the bloodline of various families. ”

Speaking of this, Ah Lu's eyes were red with anxiety, "Ah Qi, the eunuch has made a decree, and someone mentioned his sister-in-law at that time." What can I do about this? ”

In the midst of Ah Lu's uneasy inquiry, Zhang Qi stood up.
