When Zhuo Zhaojie was not in the middle of the day, he was still grinding Chenguang, but the servant who was waiting in the car had to come in and urge: "Qi Niang should go back, otherwise, the old lady has to worry." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie had no choice but to say goodbye to Xie Yingmai and went out of the 'door' in a daze, but when she came out of the small garden, she saw a blonde orchid beside her carriage talking to the coachman with a smile, frowned, and scolded: "Who is that?" ”

The servant who asked her to come out in Boya Zhai was also stunned, and said, "The little one doesn't know, but when the little one goes in, there is no such orchid." ”

The orchid who spoke had already turned his head, and when he saw Zhuo Zhaojie, he smiled at her from a distance, according to the aesthetics of the Da Liang people, this orchid can also be regarded as bright-eyed and bright-toothed, but the mouth is slightly bigger, and the skin is far less than the Han people's 'fine' when he gets closer, Zhuo Zhaojie arrived at the side of the carriage, and saw that she was still not leaving, and was about to ask, but the orchid first untied a bag from his waist, and handed it over with a smile: "Zhuo Xiaoniang? This is the 'medicine' that Sister Isly promised, and she has to serve the little master today, and she has no time to get out, so she asks Samana to come on her behalf. ”

This orchid has a delicate voice, and Ning Shaobi is generally a pure Chang'an accent, without any nonsense.

Zhuo Zhaojie was confused when he heard it, so he listened to the orchid who called herself Samana and then said: "Yesterday, Sister Yisli met Zhuo Xiaoniang by chance outside the study of Duanyi Garden in Youfu, because she saw Zhuo Xiaoniang's ten fingers injured for practicing pipa, Sister Yisli also suffered this back then, and said to Xiaoniang that there was a particularly good 'medicine', but she didn't bring it with her, and she agreed to send it in person today. ”

Her words were also equivalent to explaining what had happened to the people around her.

Zhuo Zhaojie stared at her for a long time before he said suspiciously: "You guys...... Is it the person next to Ning Shizi? ”

It is said that the Hu 'attendant' in front of Ning Shaobi should have seen her at least twice, but she still didn't recognize it, which is not surprising, after all, she has not seen many Hu people...... In her eyes, most of the Hu people look similar......

Na Samana Gege smiled: "Zhuo Xiaoniang seemed to have drunk too much when she met Sister Isli yesterday, don't you want to remember that Sister Isli mentioned Samana?" She raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, "Zhuo Xiaoniang, don't worry, this is Sister Easley's 'medicine', it was not stolen from the little master, and it was also the injury on the little lady's hand that made Sister Isly remember the hardships she had suffered in the past, so she took it out!" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie's face changed a few times, and he didn't want the 'medicine' she handed over, but this Samana said it kindly, if she didn't accept it, she was afraid that because of the suspicion of her subordinates, she had to reluctantly make a sudden 'color', and said: "I drank a few more glasses yesterday, and I always feel that something I forgot today." ”

Since he said so, he can only let Minghe accept the bag and leave with Samana.

Back at Youfu, Ban naturally wanted to ask her why she didn't come back until the afternoon, Zhuo Zhaojie casually blocked her back with Xie Ying's vein, because seeing Ban's 'look' as usual, his heart became more and more uncertain, and he asked directly: "Has the starling returned to the academy?" ”

"Nope." Ban Shi smiled and said, "Now that he is temporarily living in Cuixiu Courtyard, your grandfather will give him guidance for a few days." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie saw that Ban's appearance didn't seem to know things, and he became suspicious in his heart - could it be that You Ruoheng didn't have a showdown when he left Zhuo Zhaocui this time? This really doesn't look like You Ruoheng's person......

It's just that yesterday's eavesdropping was unintentional, but it was really embarrassing, Zhuo Zhaojie didn't dare to ask more, so as not to provoke Ban's suspicion, so he said: "I'll go back and change my clothes and come to accompany my grandmother." ”

Ban nodded: "Go." ”

Back at Binwei Courtyard, Zhuo Zhaojie changed his dress, and was in a daze with the 'medicine' bottle in the bag that was mostly given by Ning Shaobi, but Zhuo Zhaocui came over.

Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly put down the 'medicine' bottle and got up to greet him.

Zhuo Zhaocui said gently: "Seventh sister doesn't have to be polite. ”

Minghe served tea, and glanced at Mingji, and took the needle and thread to the courtyard outside to do it, and by the way, he talked to Zhuo Zhao, who came with Zhuo Zhaojie.

"Starling, have you been doing a lot of homework lately?" After Zhuo Zhaojie saw Minghe and the others withdraw, Zhuo Zhaocui's face was 'pale' and 'groaning', his heart was tight, and he deliberately diverted the topic, "Although the scientific examination is urgent, the starling must also take care of his health." ”

"I can still handle my homework." Zhuo Zhaocui smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, and said, "I'm here to talk to you, I'm afraid that in two years, you will have to go back to Chang'an alone...... But not necessarily, maybe when the time comes, if I am free, I will naturally come to pick you up. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie knew that it was most likely that after You Ruoheng reprimanded Zhuo Zhaocui for concealing the true intention of going south, she was bored and wanted to send him away, but she didn't know about this matter, so she hurriedly made a surprised 'look': "What does this mean, starling?" ”

"Something happened to the Gu family." Zhuo Zhaocui said lightly with a hint of amazement, "Oh, you don't know about the Gu family?" It is the ancient Taifu, the year before last my grandfather for me and the granddaughter of the grandfather to marry, yesterday my grandfather received a letter from Chang'an, saying that the ancient Taifu is not very good, although the ancient family 'girl' has not passed the 'door', but in Chang'an, the ancient Taifu also took care of me, and now he is sick, I can not help but go back to do my best. ”

It's just an excuse.

Let's not talk about the serious descendants of Gu Taifu's knees, Zhuo Zhaocui should study seriously and prosper the family at this age, don't say that the grandfather of his fiancée, that is, Min Pinghou himself is sick in the 'bed', and he categorically refuses to ask his grandchildren to put down their hands one by one and just serve themselves, even if the grandchildren have this filial piety, the family can't bear it!

Now Zhuo Zhaocui is nothing more than taking the Gu family as a raft so that he can leave the game with dignity.

Zhuo Zhaojie's heart darkened, and his face showed it, Zhuo Zhaocui only said that she was all reluctant to herself, and couldn't help but comfort her by putting down her sorrows, Zhuo Zhaojie didn't want to worry him too much, so he barely raised his 'spirit' and asked: "So how long can Starling stay?" ”

"Since it's going back to 'serve', of course, the sooner the better." Zhuo Zhaocui looked away a little unnaturally, and said softly, "It's just that I still have something in the academy, I sent someone to clean it up today, and I have to say goodbye to the mountain chief tomorrow, and then ask a few classmates who have 'befriended' these days to say goodbye, as soon as three or five days, and as slow as six or seven days to leave." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie pursed her lips and couldn't speak—if she hadn't heard Cui Nanfeng and You Ruoheng's words, she would still be entangled now, but at this moment, she knew that Zhuo Zhaocui would definitely be in a 'mess' and 'chaos'...... Sound, Min Pinghou ...... His own grandfather, since he sent Zhuo Zhaocui over, now Zhuo Zhaocui has returned in vain, and I don't know if he will be punished if he goes back......

Seeing that she was suddenly stunned, Zhuo Zhaocui thought that she was about to separate from her brother at first sight, so he was reluctant, and comforted her gently, promising to come and pick her up as much as possible at that time, and said a few words to let her be a good 'servant' to serve You Ruoheng and Ban's and the like, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one else in the room, so he 'drawn' a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve.

Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly said: "Starling, I don't lack this. ”

"Listen to me, it's not for you, but my grandfather entrusted me to bring it to my grandfather before I came." Zhuo Zhaocui smiled bitterly and said vaguely, "But you also know that if I give it directly, my grandfather will definitely refuse to accept it, you think of a way, wait for me to leave, and then ask my grandmother to accept it, you see, the four uncles have no official positions now, and the grandfather is open-minded, and he has not bought much property after the office. ”

…… I don't know if Zhuo Zhaocui doesn't give up, or if he doesn't allegiate to Pinghou's meaning?

Zhuo Zhaojie was silent for a moment before saying, "Okay." ”

Anyway, it is impossible for Ban to be the master himself, if You Ruoheng does not agree to accept it, when he returns to Chang'an, Ban has a way to bring him back.

Even if it's just for the past two years...... You can also go to the Zhuo family to thank the You family for raising their granddaughters, and the intrigue between the elders is just like that......

Zhuo Zhaocui saw that she was careful to put away the snack, but soon noticed the scars on her fingers, and frowned: "You just started to learn pipa, don't be anxious - but I heard that Chang'an has been in vogue over the years?" In fact, most of the little girls, including our sisters, only know how to 'hair', and there are always a few who are really 'fine'...... Well? ”

was persuading her sister, Zhuo Zhaocui suddenly saw the 'medicine' bottle in her hand, and said suspiciously, "Where did you come from?" ”

"What 'dough'?" Zhuo Zhaojie's heart jumped - Zhuo Zhaocui came suddenly, she didn't have time to put it away at all, and she was afraid that she would be suspicious when Zhuo Zhaocui came in, and she was glad that this 'medicine' bottle looked like a very ordinary 'jade' bottle...... Where did you think that Zhuo Zhaocui still saw the clues......

She secretly scolded Ning Shaobi in her heart, so she heard Zhuo Zhaocui frown and said: "This 'dough' is the wound 'medicine' on the Sogdian side, and the special 'door' is used to apply it to the fingers, you know that the pipa is originally Hu Le, and it is especially popular in Sogdia, because it is easy to hurt the fingers during practice, so there is such an injury 'medicine', which can not only make the worn ten fingers heal quickly, but also prevent the birth of calluses after hard practice, and maintain the hands are still like dough, so it gets this name, but this' Medicine' in the Central Plains cannot be imitated, they are all sold from Sogdia thousands of miles away, and as soon as they arrive in Chang'an City, they are divided among various families, and they are rarely available to ordinary people...... You have this 'dough', but you are not afraid of hurting your fingers by practicing hard, as long as you can endure it...... But where did you get this 'medicine' from? Could it be that those Sogdian merchants even went to Moling to sell them? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie pinched his palm hard, and said vaguely: "These days, thanks to my grandmother's 'medicine'...... Is it just that this 'medicine' is what kind of 'dough'? I haven't opened it yet. ”

Zhuo Zhaocui raised his hand and took it, looked at it for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be wrong, you look at the Sogdian characters engraved on the mouth of this jade bottle." ”

"......" Zhuo Zhaojie secretly scolded herself for not being careful, but she just took it out, Zhuo Zhaocui arrived, and she really didn't pay attention, this will look, sure enough, a line of exotic words is engraved on the mouth of the bottle - Zhuo Zhaocui put down the 'medicine' bottle, but didn't investigate the meaning of this "dough" too much, but he opened his mouth but almost let Zhuo Zhaojie fall down, he said: "I heard that you and the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng, who went down to the south of the Yangtze River to avoid trouble, met twice?" ”
