Xiao Qi didn't rest at ease when he returned to the house, although he was a little sleepy in the car, but after he got down, he was busy with this matter and returned to the house, and at this moment, thousands of thoughts poured into his heart, which made Xiao Qi a little irritable. After thinking about it, I didn't feel sleepy.

Sighing softly, he walked to the window and opened it, at this time, it was late at night, and everything outside the window was under the silver glow of the moonlight, which made people feel a little cool.

Not far away, there was a flickering candlelight of a lantern, and a figure was shaking, probably that Zhang Biao was drinking there, and there were no other figures around, it should be that the elder brother asked the person who had left to serve just now to retreat.

Although I can't believe that my parents are no longer alive, I have not heard from him for so many years, which has strengthened my belief in going out to find relatives.

Thinking of what happened just now, I suffered this disaster, but fortunately there was no friction, otherwise it would be difficult to explain when I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, although it has nothing to do with me, and a punishment is inevitable.

Seeing that Zhang Biao put aside his distracting thoughts, the gradual tiredness hit again, yawned, and prepared to rest.

The next day, early in the morning, Xiao Qi woke up early, he was already used to dressing up, dressing up, and opened the door to find hot water, but saw several women waiting outside the door.

"Miss"

"Who are you?"

"We came by order of the steward to groom the young lady."

Xiao Qi looked at these women, who should be the people who do things in the manor.

"You're welcome, you don't need to help with these trivial things, you can go your own way."

After several women heard Xiao Qi's words, their faces turned pale, and the orders they received from several women were to serve the young lady well, and the current situation, this young lady did not need it, if the steward knew, they would not have good fruit to eat.

Thinking of the result, several women hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please spare Miss, and please don't drive us away!" ”

Xiao Qi frowned slightly, and he already knew in his heart that these women were forced to come here by the steward, and looking at the clothes of several women, they should be new clothes, and they must be poor people.

A noble daughter like Xiao Qi has at least two personal maids and many little maids around her, but for some reason, she gradually got used to living with Aunt Liu.

The steward of the manor did not know the habits of the young lady of the master's house, and was afraid that he would neglect the young lady, so he took it upon himself to send someone to serve him.

"Alright, get up, you guys go get some hot water for me."

These women thanked Dade for thanking Xiao Qi, took water according to Xiao Qi's order, and then went to the carriage to take off the women's clothes that Xiao Qi needed, after all, Xiao Qi was still dressed as a man at this time.

......

That happened last night, although Zhang Biao was very interested and wanted to play again, but under the gaze of the nursery rhyme, he finally agreed to the idea of returning to Beijing after breakfast.

Xiao Qi sent Zhang Biao and them back to the mansion before returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and of course she didn't forget to leave her grandfather's words for her to pass on to Zhang Biao.

"In a few days, the Prime Minister's Mansion welcomes my brother to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a gathering."

There were a few people in Xiao Qi's car, it seemed very quiet, and he didn't rest well last night, Xiao Qi was also tired, yawned, and fell asleep in the carriage.

"Xiao Qi, you have to remember that you are the Zhang family, don't think about your own gains and losses, everything must be the Zhang family."

Three years ago, the ignorant Xiaoqi was called to her grandfather's study, and Zhang Yizhi spoke to her. Xiao Qi was still thinking about the new clothes that Aunt Liu made for her at this time, and in a trance, she heard that her grandfather was going to order someone to vacate the yard where her parents and herself lived, saying that her parents would not come back if they had an accident.

"What does it mean not to come back." Xiao Qi raised his head and looked at Zhang Yizhi, with confusion in his eyes, tears shining in the corners of his eyes, and a bad premonition in his heart had appeared.

"They're gone, they're going to another world." Zhang Yizhi turned his head in amazement, not knowing what to look at, as if he was getting older in an instant.

"Grandpa, you're lying to me, right, my father and mother are so powerful, how can it be." Xiao Qi grabbed Zhang Yizhi's hand, the tears in his eyes finally couldn't be held back, and he cried out loud.

"Miss Liu, take Miss back." Zhang Yizhi closed his eyes.

"Yes." A young woman dressed in green came in from outside, looking at Xiao Qi with compassion in her eyes.

"Aunt Liu, don't take me away, grandpa, are you lying to me?!" Xiao Qi cried and grabbed Zhang Yizhi's hand tightly, "My father and mother will be fine, right." ”

Zhang Yihui's hand has been caught by Xiao Qi with a few white marks, seeing Xiao Qi's appearance, Aunt Liu couldn't bear it, and slapped Xiao Qi faint from behind.

"I've been taking care of this child recently, and I've bothered Miss Liu."

Xiao Qi woke up from his sleep, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and cleared his throat, "Are we here?" ”

"It's coming, Miss Seven."

Xiao Qi rubbed the corners of his forehead, lifted the curtain and looked at the side door, and a servant had already called the door, and was waiting for everyone at the door.

"Miss Seven, it's here."

Xiao Qi got out of the car and thanked the few people who escorted her along the way, "Today, I'm tired of you, it's not too early, you can go back and rest early." ”

"Yes, Miss Seven."

Everyone responded to Xiao Qi politely, and was about to stop and untie the horse, but the Ming Ze steward snorted coldly, and did not respond to Xiao Qi's appearance, and went directly into the mansion and disappeared into the darkness.

"Miss, I'll escort you back to the courtyard."

Xiao Qi nodded and walked in the direction of the courtyard, thinking about what her grandfather's intention was to let her go to see this Zhang Biao, she hadn't figured it out yet, just let her befriend Zhang Biao. Xiao Qi told Zhang Biao the reason, just to see Zhang Biao's response, but she didn't see anything in Zhang Biao, and her secrets were revealed a lot.

"Do you know what you gave to your brother yesterday?"

Fan Wei replied: "It's a letter, and the content and who sent it are not clear." ”

Xiao Qi frowned, "Hey, then the person we attacked us yesterday, does Uncle Fan know the origin?" ”

Fan Wei shook his head and said, "The person who came is very strong, and he should be a famous person in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't do it, so he couldn't deduce who the other party was." ”

"The origin of the Taowei hairpin?"

"This, there has been no news of Taowei hairpin in the rivers and lakes."

Xiao Qi pondered for a moment and said, "This matter still needs to be investigated, Uncle Fan." ”

"It's nature." Fan Wei paused, "Do you want to tell the lord and the prince about yesterday's incident?" ”

Xiao Qi bowed his hand, and said a little helplessly: "With Mingze in charge, we don't have to report this matter ourselves." ”

When Xiao Qi passed by a courtyard, he stopped, "Uncle Fan, you can go back first." ”

Fan Wei looked at the courtyard, and then stopped talking.

Looking at the courtyard in front of me, I can't help but think of the days when I lived with my parents. It's just that now, there are only some fragments of childhood memories, and those memories will become as broken and incomplete as the house in front of them.

Xiao Qi put his hand on the courtyard door, but finally did not push the door open, retreated to the side, and stood aside for a long time, looking at the old residence.

Finally, he shook his head and walked towards a courtyard deep in the house.

......

"Is Xiao Qi back?"

A woman's slightly lazy voice came from the courtyard, it was Xiao Qi's Aunt Liu, Liu Yunhua.

Xiao Qi pushed open the courtyard door, and saw a generous woman in front of the house, sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

"Aunt Liu, why don't I ask my eldest sister to ask someone to cut down this tree." Xiao Qi looked at the ancient tree in the courtyard with a serious matter.

"You kid said this again, hurry up and go back and change your clothes first, so that the people in the other courtyard can see, and it will inevitably be a lot of trouble."

"Hee-hee, okay." Xiao Qi closed the courtyard door and walked towards the house. Xiao Qi changed into the men's clothes, walked outside the courtyard, and pulled Liu Yunhua, who was still sweeping the yard, to a chair under the tree and sat down, "Aren't you afraid that you will be tired?" ”

Xiao Qi pointed to the big tree as thick as the three of her, "Aunt Liu, look at this tree, the fallen leaves we clean every day are enough for us to heat in winter." ”

Liu Yunhua poked Xiao Qi's head, "I don't know that little Jiujiu in your heart, don't you just think that a few pigeons on the tree every day disturb your purity?" ”

Xiao Qi, who was punctured with his thoughts, said with a smile: "How can there be, Aunt Liu, you see that group of pigeons eat and drink Lazar every day, and it will be a shame for our yard." ”

Liu Yunhua looked up and said thoughtfully: "It seems that it's time to take care of it, but it's a pity." ”

"What a pity?" Xiao Qi was a little puzzled.

"Well, I see it's time for these pigeons to lay eggs again."

"Then don't cut down the tree first, after all, they are also a life, if I cut down the tree and let them not live, it will be my sin."

Liu Yunhua sneered and laughed suddenly, "You are just a pigeon egg for others." ”

"Don't you have to say hello to Xiangye after changing your clothes?" Liu Yunhua handed Xiao Qi a cup of herbal tea.

"No need, anyway, they just want my brother to know the situation of our Zhang family."

"Oh, you're so well-behaved and took him to so many places?"

"No, brother, he is extremely smart, he will definitely know everything, why don't you use me to take him there."

Hearing Xiao Qi's words, Liu Yunhua seemed to have already known the answer and laughed.

"Your nature is up to your mother."

Liu Yunhua grabbed Xiao Qi's hand in his hand, "In the blink of an eye, you are already the year of cardamom." ”

"Don't be numb, I'm fine, goosebumps are coming out." Xiao Qi withdrew his hands from Liu Yunhua's hands, and rubbed them with his hands, as if he really had goosebumps.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"When you say that, Aunt Liu is so sad." Liu Yunhua took advantage of the situation and picked up a handkerchief to hide his face and wept softly.

"Hey, you're short of money again?"

Seeing that Liu Yunhua didn't reply, Xiao Qi closed his eyes and sighed.

"I won't blame you for anything."

Liu Yunhua immediately threw the handkerchief aside and cleared his throat, "Say it earlier, waste my tears." ”

Xiao Qi held his breath, seeing Liu Yunhua like this, his heart was already uneasy, but he still said politely on his face: "Can you say it now?" ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I used the silver ticket left in your house."

"Oh, it turned out to be... What?! ”
