Thinking so, Zhuo Zhaojie entered the 'door' in three steps and two steps, hurriedly passed through the court porch, the clogs had not been taken off, looked up at the 'door', and saw Ruan Zhi and Zhuo Fanghua sitting in the main seat with a face full of appreciation.

"Ahh Zhuo Zhaojie fixed his eyes and saw that the person who played the pipa had a 'flower' face, a blue pinching ultramarine coat embroidered with large leaves and entwined branches and peonies, and a wide sleeved deep coat, with a gentle demeanor and a hint of Ren Xia's aura, could it be Xie Yingmai?

She looked at Xie Yingmai fixedly, and couldn't help but scream, and suddenly interrupted the music, everyone in the hall was alarmed, Zhuo Fanghua looked down with some displeasure, because Xie Yingmai stopped in surprise after seeing Zhuo Zhaojie, Zhuo Fanghua said angrily: "You kid, you are also learning pipa, now that the master is in front, you don't want to study carefully, why do you want to make this noise and disturb others?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie hastily bowed to the elders, but pointed at Xie Yingmai in surprise and said, "Sister Xie, why are you here?" "In a blink of an eye, the man at the top was dressed in a blue 'color' Confucian suit, with a soft head on his head, and his appearance was dignified and handsome with the air of a scroll, she didn't know it, but the 'woman' in the middle was neatly dressed and decent, and she saw a 'shrewd' and assertive look between her eyebrows - it was the Mrs. Wu back then!

Seeing her so gaffe, Zhuo Fanghua frowned again, but Ruan Zhi understood, and said with a smile: "Qi Niang knows Xie Niangzi? ”

"Uncle, aunt, this sister of the Xie family is the one who taught me the pipa in Moling in the past." Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly put away his hand and said.

Xie Yingmai also put away the pipa with a smile at this time, and said, "Zhuo Niangzi, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't want to see you here, it's really surprising." ”

Zhuo Fanghua was surprised: "Such a coincidence? I also asked who Qi Niang Pipa learned from, and she said that it was a Xie Niangzi - I didn't expect to go together! ”

"I don't want Zhuo Niangzi to be Madame's niece and daughter." Xie Yingmai was also very surprised, and said with a smile, "Strange Dao Zhuo Lady is here." ”

In this way, I will see it again, Mrs. Wu and Xie Yingmai, Zhuo Zhaojie are no strangers, the man in the green shirt is Mrs. Wu's husband, who was called Bai Zihua back then and couldn't let go, knowing that he had become a relative, he couldn't help but write a letter to the past to pour out his heartfelt Qu Ruoyan, that is, the scholar surnamed Qu that Ruan Yunshu said when he entered the 'door' before - although this person had heard about it from Bai Zihua, if it hadn't been for this meeting, Zhuo Zhaojie would have forgotten it a long time ago, and Ruan Yunshu didn't even think about it when he mentioned it just now.

Because of Bai Zihua's incident, Zhuo Zhaojie saw this Qu Tan's eyes a little strange, and after looking at it carefully, he thought that this person was sitting next to Wu's side, and he was very handsome when he was set off by the ordinary-looking Wu family, but it was just like that, Bai Zihua herself was an out-and-out beauty, even if her younger brother Bai Zijing was not handsome, but her cousin Bai Ziqian was a beautiful young man, why was he so concerned about this Qu Tan?

Qu Tan noticed her gaze, but he didn't change his look, and only let her look at it peacefully, but Zhuo Fanghua felt that Zhuo Zhaojie was not quite right today, and coughed to remind Zhuo Zhaojie to come back to his senses, originally they happened to talk about the corresponding topic, Xie Yingmai volunteered to play "Yang 'Spring' White Snow", but now Zhuo Zhaojie suddenly came in, and he and Mrs. Wu and Xie Yingmai are old acquaintances, and the previous topics can't continue.

Zhuo Fanghua repeated his previous words, asked Qu Tan and the three of them to live in Ruan's Mansion, and said: "Xiao'er is also taking the exam next year, and Ruoyan and Ruoyan can confirm each other's homework, and we have a small family, only a child, and there is a vacant place to live, please don't shirk again." ”

Hearing this, Qu Tan had already shirked their resignation before, and at this moment Qu Tan said: "Thank you Madame for your kindness, the student can get the invitation of Yushi and Madame, I am really flattered, but my wife and aunt come with me, I'm afraid it will be too much of a nuisance, and the student thinks, or find a small courtyard to rent ...... by himself."

"If you don't know the price of Chang'an, especially when it opens next year, the price of houses in Chang'an is soaring, and the guild halls are also overcrowded. Ruan Zhi said gently, although Qu Tan said that although these three people had made new clothes for the sake of coming to Chang'an, they were not very prosperous at first glance, and Ruan Zhi was also kind when he said this.

Zhuo Zhaojie 'interjected' and said: "If Master Qu feels that it is inconvenient for Mrs. Wu and Sister Xie to live here with her uncle and aunt, it is better to go to Zhuo's house with me, the Jinghonglou where I live now is very large." ”

Qu Tan thanked and thanked, but only shook his head, he didn't let go, whether Mrs. Wu or Xie Yingmai was silent, obviously headed by Qu Tan, after saying this for a long time, Zhuo Fanghua's 'sex' Zi has always been a little anxious, so he said: "Since you are unwilling to accept the useless ruin, then this is it, our family is big, and many houses are empty, so it is better to rent a few...... Would you like to rent? ”

Speaking of which, Qu Tan is just an ordinary scholar, Ruan Zhi is a royal history, Zhuo Fanghua is not only the lady of the imperial history but also the "daughter" of the Hou 'door', such a courteous invitation, and then push it will offend people, Qu Tan had to loosen up and agree, and proposed to give the price according to the current price of Chang'an.

Zhuo Fanghua said indifferently: "Let's talk about it then." ”

After saying this, the maid who waited under the porch outside dared to come in and say: "The peach 'flower' cake that Qi Niang asked for is ready." ”

Zhuo Fanghua remembered her niece and daughter, and said, "I said why did Qi Niang suddenly come over today?" Do you love this cake? Next time, just call someone to get it, I heard that you were not in good health a few days ago, are you okay now? ”

"It's already fine, that's why I came here." Zhuo Zhaojie said with a smile, "This cake is the sixth sister's favorite, she asked me to bring some to her when I went back last time, but I forgot, I was disgusted by her today, so I hurried over to ask my aunt for it!" ”

"She's too outward, it's hard for her to send someone over and say that I won't give it?" Zhuo Fanghua frowned and said, "You can stay for one night today, just to talk to Xie Niangzi." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie originally planned to go back with the things and pastries, but now that he met Xie Yingmai, he hesitated, and finally said, "Then I'll ask someone to send the pastries back first, and then talk to my mother." ”

Ah Li took the messenger, and carried the things that were easily packed and loaded into the carriage back to the courtyard, and returned in the evening with the words that You had promised.

At this time, the hosts and guests in the upper room had already dispersed, Ruan Zhi took Ruan Yunshu and Qu Tan to talk about some experiences during the scientific expedition, and Zhuo Fanghua went to the Wen Mansion next door - because the next person came to tell him that the old lady of the Wen family had something to ask for.

Zhuo Zhaojie volunteered to accompany Mrs. Wu and Xie Yingmai to clean up the house, Zhuo Fanghua left the housekeeper Ruan Min for them to use, and chose an independent courtyard slightly close to Ruan Yunshu in front of Qu Tan and Mrs. Wu to live, Zhuo Fanghua persuaded Xie Yingmai to live in the backyard when he left, and he was close to him, and it could be seen that Zhuo Fanghua liked Xie Yingmai quite much.

This is not surprising, Xie Yingmai is only a few years older than Zhuo Zhaojie, but she doesn't know how much more independent and capable than Zhuo Zhaojie, although she is beautiful, she is not squeamish, and she speaks and does things to give people a kind of generosity and decency, without dragging her feet, and she is also good at pipa and martial arts, which can be described as versatile - it is not difficult to guess that her 'temperament' style is very similar to Zhuo Fanghua's when she was young.

It's just that because of Zhuo Fanghua's background, at Xie Yingmai's age, she still has a little pampering of the 'daughter' of the Hou Mansion, and she may not be as calm and calm as Xie Yingmai.

In the end, Xie Yingmai was born in the rivers and lakes, and he has experienced it in the shadow of swords and swords.

After deciding on a place to live, Wu Ren used the excuse of cleaning up in person, so that Zhuo Zhaojie could talk to Xie Yingmai alone, and the two slowly returned to the courtyard where Zhuo Zhaojie lived, Zhuo Zhaojie said: "Sister, you can live here, this is where I lived together with my cousin last time I came over, and I have been cleaning up, and the location of the yard is good." ”

Of course, the yard that Zhuo Fanghua arranged for her niece and nephew is good.

Xie Yingmai is not a picky person, and said with a smile: "You took care of Zhuo Niangzi in Moling before, but you failed to reciprocate, but it affected the lady, and now I don't want to be blessed by Linggu's family again when I come to Chang'an, Zhuo Niangzi is really my lucky star." ”

She said this, but she couldn't hear the flattery, but it seemed to be joking, Zhuo Zhaojie thought about it, and suddenly clapped his hands and said: "I know why I felt a little afraid of her when I saw my eldest aunt after I arrived in Chang'an before!" ”

Xie Yingmai didn't expect her to suddenly mention Zhuo Fanghua, and when she was stunned, she heard Zhuo Zhaojie whisper, "It's because the eldest aunt's demeanor is the same as that of Sister A, but it is much stronger than Sister Ayou...... I used to learn pipa from my sister, and although my sister said that I didn't need to apprentice, I was actually a disciple...... How many disciples in this world are not in awe of the teacher? I just thought that I have never been afraid of my elders, why should I be especially respectful in front of my aunt? ”

Xie Yingmai was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help laughing: "I think Mrs. Zhuo treats you very well!" ”

"My aunt naturally loves me, but when I see her, I don't know why I have to be respectful." Zhuo Zhaojie said, "It's very comfortable to be like this today." ”

After laughing like this, Zhuo Zhaojie complained to her: "Sister, since you came to Chang'an so many days later than me, why did you keep quiet in the first place?" Isn't it good to walk together? It's not that I can't wait for so many days, you don't know, I had to be accompanied by my brother along the way, and I could see the scenery at first, but then I got tired of seeing it on the boat, and it was not boring all the way. ”

Xie Yingmai said with a smile: "It's not that I didn't mean not to borrow this light, it's really that we didn't expect to be able to set off so soon, you know Boya Zhai, I went to Chang'an with my cousin and cousin-in-law this time to settle in Chang'an, after all, I am now such a 'door' relative, so I always have to change hands to Boya Zhai before leaving, I originally thought it would take some time, but I didn't think it would go very smoothly and took it off, plus pack up my things, and then I followed Zhuo Niangzi to come behind you." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "Hey, does Sister also open a shop in Chang'an?" ”

Xie Yingmai shook her head and said: "I haven't thought about this yet, after all, this time I came with my cousin and brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law is going to take the exam. ”
