Chapter 157 Braised Parrots
"Big brother, now that the Zhang family is on the cusp, don't let yourself get along with yourself!" Zhang Qian held her forehead impatiently, paused and said: "Second brother may have other plans, he has always been the most assertive, and he definitely can't do such a foolish thing." You go back first. ”
When Zhang Bao heard this, a pair of peach blossom eyes instantly lost his smile, half-squinting at Zhang Qian in front of him, the folding fan in his hand shook slowly, but after a long time, he snapped and closed, and looked at Zhang Qian's back deeply: "Weichen said goodbye." ”
Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment, turned her eyes and looked coldly at Zhang Bao's robe hanging on the top of her feet, and said, "No courtesy." Then he shouted to the door, "Come, send off." ”
Someone at the door pushed the door in response, but it was not a subordinate who came to see off the guests, but Zhang Kun, who was dressed in purple and pounced on the snow.
Zhang Qian's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "I am very lively here today, what kind of wind blew the two brothers together." ”
Zhang Kun dusted off the falling snow on his body, inadvertently glanced at Zhang Bao and Zhang Qian and said with a smile: "It's very snowy outside, but I'm worried about your plum blossom cake here to find something to eat, what?" Not welcome? ”
Zhang Qian greeted Zhang Kun and personally helped Zhang Kun untie the cloak on his body: "Naturally welcome." I'll call the maid to arrange, and it happens that today's plum blossoms are soaked in the first snow, and they must taste very good. The second brother came at the right time, and it happened to be with the eldest brother. ”
Speaking of Zhang Bao, Zhang Kun couldn't help but put his eyes on Zhang Bao, who was standing on the side with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and said with a smile: "You might as well enter the palace today, it just so happens that we haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's good to get together with you." ”
"The second brother is here to talk about something this time, right?" Zhang Bao didn't wait for Zhang Kun to sit down, and went straight to the point.
Zhang Kun was stunned for a moment, the action of pouring tea in his hand was slightly paused, and he quickly sat down leisurely, took a sip of tea from the white jade cup on the table, and said, "Big brother is so good-looking." ”
Zhang Bao and Zhang Qian glanced at each other and sat down beside Zhang Kun.
Zhang Qian moistened her lips and said, "Second brother, I heard that Gulun is taken care of by you?" ”
Zhang Kun raised his eyebrows, his eyes wandered between Zhang Qian and Zhang Bao, and said with a smile: "My sister is worthy of being a concubine of the court, even if she has lived in this deep palace for a long time, she can listen to all directions, and this news is very well-informed." ”
Zhang Qian played with the jade cup in her hand, frowned, and said, "Are you confused?" Naguron is one of the culprits who murdered my house. ”
Zhang Kun didn't care, just looked at Zhang Bao and said: "There are countless women in your courtyard, it's not good to move, why do you have to move this princess of Wu Kingdom?" Now the emperor still doesn't know about Gu Lun, if you do, wouldn't you be slapping the emperor in the face and destroying the cooperative relationship with Zhao State. ”
Zhang Bao sneered: "We don't need Zhao Guo's help now, do we?" ”
Zhang Kun frowned: "You don't need Zhao Guo's help, but Zhao Guo is queen personally came forward to win over, you dare to offend." ”
Zhang Bao's face changed, and he pursed his lips and stopped making a sound.
Zhang Qian held her forehead and said in a low voice: "I'm tired, go back." ”
Zhang Bao walked away without saying a word, Zhang Kun sat for a long time before standing up, and took a deep look at Zhang Qian: "Qian'er, now you have to be calm and calm, take care of yourself." ”
The corners of Zhang Qian's lips hooked up a touch of helplessness: "The brothers are back, and it is time for me to be the head of the Zhang family." ”
Seeing Zhang Kun frowning and silent, Zhang Qian suddenly stood up, staggered to the side of the warm collapse, looked at the wind and snow flying outside, and said: "I just hope that all the brothers can work together, don't let the Zhang family be cut off here." ”
Zhang Kun hesitated for a long time before nodding and saying, "Naturally not." ”
After Zhang Kun left, Zhang Qian stared at the snow outside the window for a long time, until her whole body began to be cold and sore, and she couldn't even move before she struggled to get up.
Later, he hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Niangniang, you slow down." ”
"When did the second young master leave?"
"You've been gone for a long time, and before leaving, you told the slave and maid not to disturb you. This didn't even delay the finished plum blossom cake and didn't take it away. ”
"Didn't I tell you to cook that parrot? When to call you to prepare plum blossom cake? ”
The maid was stunned for a moment, bowed her head and didn't dare to make a sound.
Zhang Qian glanced at the maid, and then at the plum blossom cake that was already cold on the table, "I don't even know when you came back." The second brother said that he was in love with the plum blossom cake you made, so you should go and send it to the house for him. ”
The maid's eyebrows narrowed, and she revealed a lot of joy, and hurriedly said, "Yes." ”
Zhang Qian shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Don't think I don't know your mind." It's just that my second brother's mind may not be something you can ponder, and this time he must come back for another purpose. I'm putting you next to him like a sheep's mouth, are you willing to do this? ”
The maid blurted out: "Niangniang, the second master is not that kind of person. ”
Zhang Qian sneered: "It seems that you have already made up your mind to follow him." ”
The maid was startled by Zhang Qian, and knelt on the ground as soon as she bent her knees: "Niangniang atons for her sins, the slave doesn't dare to climb high, I just hope to serve Niangniang for a lifetime." ”
Zhang Qian shook off the hand held by the maid and stood up, but the soreness on her body had not passed, and she was so shaky that she almost couldn't stand.
"Don't dare to climb high?" Zhang Qian's voice was soaked with coldness, and she heard a cold sweat on the maid's back.
You must know that Zhang Qian is ruthless, and she will never allow people with two hearts around her. Thinking of this, the maid had no choice but to kowtow on the ground, and mourned: "Niangniang atonements, Niangniang spares her life, and the slave is only loyal to Niangniang, and she never dares to have other thoughts." ”
Zhang Qian suddenly laughed, as if she had heard a big joke. Soon it was quiet again, and she looked at the maid kneeling at her feet with a smile on her lips, she looked at the maid's back so fixedly, but she seemed to be looking at others through such a humble back.
The silence in the Hualin Palace was terrifying, and I could only hear the sound of the maid kowtowing louder than a louder, dull and dull sound back and forth in the quiet and somewhat weird palace.
"Give the plum blossom cake to the second brother and send it to the house." Zhang Qian said suddenly.
The maid kowtowed, and looked at Zhang Qian blankly, not knowing how to react. Zhang Qian didn't even have the heart to take a look at the maid, turned around and walked to the edge of the warm collapse and sat down.
The maid waited for a long time and didn't see Zhang Qian have any other instructions, so she had to go down with the plate of plum blossom cake that was already cold.
Zhang Qian looked at the back of the maid outside the window, at this time the sky was already dark, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, and the maid's footsteps were in a hurry, and there was a creaking echo of one foot deep and one shallow.
Such a voice sounded extremely ironic in Zhang Qian's ears.
She picked up the Buddhist beads that were thrown on the table, closed the window, personally held a few more red candles, closed her eyes and counted the Buddhist beads and recited the Buddha Sutra.
Zhang Qian only felt that the temperature on her body was receding little by little, as cold as the bricks and tiles in this Hualin Palace.
After a long time, a gust of wind swept in and blew out a few red candles in the room, Zhang Qian suddenly opened her eyes, half-hanging on the collapsed leg unconsciously, she unconsciously called: "Xiao'er? ”
No one answered.
At this time, the maid Xiao'er may have already arrived in Zhang's mansion, if there is no accident, Zhang Kun will not let go of such an opportunity. Her brother looks suave and upright, but he will not escape the beauty after all.
Only Xiao'er is the most reassuring to her.
"Daddy, Qian'er is also forced to do this." Zhang Qian muttered like this, and slept in her clothes......
At this time, in the Ning Jade Pavilion, Concubine Ning was still looking at the pigeon soup in front of her, and she was holding a porcelain spoon in her hand and knocking on the edge of the bowl again and again.
The maid called the moon and said: "It's surprising today, this pigeon soup is sent from Hualin Palace." The slave deliberately tested the poison with a silver needle, but there was no reaction, Niangniang, what do you think is the idea of this noble concubine? ”
Shen Tingting took off the lid and knocked on the thin pigeon in the soup bowl, her whole body was transparent and blood-red, her head was hooked in her wings, and she had not been disemboweled, obviously, this was suffocated.
The soup stewed from the stuffy pigeon is also the most nutritious, but why is she stunned when she looks at this soup.
took the spoon again and hooked the pigeon's head to take a look, Zhang Tingting suddenly put down the spoon again and pushed the soup bowl in front of her.
"Take it down and pour it down, and bury this bird under the roots of a tree." Zhang Tingting frowned.
The maid called the moon and said curiously: "Birds? ”
"Look at this crown, it is clear which palace parrot is hard-working, where is the pigeon, Zhang Qian is reminding me, this parrot is afraid that it will become such an end if it is too mouthy." Zhang Tingting laughed as she spoke.
Calling the moon gasped, and looked carefully at the bird in the soup bowl, it was really not a pigeon, where was there a pigeon with such a big crown on its head?
"Niangniang, what can I do about this, this thing was rewarded from Hualin Palace, wouldn't this be lost to others?"
"Go at night, bury it under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, don't let anyone know."
"That'...... Do you want to tell the emperor? Zhao Yue picked up the soup bowl and prepared to withdraw, as if she remembered something and asked Ning Ge in a low voice.
Shen Tingting hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "For this little thing, there is no need to work for the emperor." Do as I say, and I'll do the rest. ”
Calling the moon pursed her lips, she stopped talking, and went down with a soup bowl.
In Zhaoyang Courtyard, Zuo Tingxue sat in the candlelight, and suddenly remembered that the Jinpa that had been tucked in his sleeve and had been silent for a long time suddenly remembered that he had taken out the Jinpa and saw that the Jinpa was secretly given to her by Ah Qi.
During the day, because Feng Jinyi and Zhang Qian were there, I didn't pay attention to what this brocade was wrapping, but now I got closer to the light and took a look, but it was familiar for no reason.
As soon as Jinpa shook it open, a few neatly folded envelopes fell out of it, and the vertical handwriting was beautiful and lovely, and every stroke was in deep meaning, just looking at the handwriting, you could think of the person who wrote the mood was flying, and the pen was spiritual.
