Chapter 17 Aunt Liu was invited to enter the palace
"Huh? Aunt Liu, you won't really go, will you? ”
Zhang Zhuxuan was stunned and immediately smiled bitterly, this time she made a guarantee to the Empress Dowager to invite Liu Yunhua into the palace, but she didn't expect that what the Empress Dowager said was just a joke, and she didn't rely on her little girl for this matter.
"Aunt Liu." Zhang Zhuxuan couldn't let go of her face to be coquettish, so she could only look at Liu Yunhua with a pitiful look.
"Third sister, Aunt Liu is joking."
After hearing Xiao Qi's words, Zhang Zhuxuan turned her head and stared at Liu Yunhua expectantly to ask for proof. Liu Yunhua watched Xiao Qi speak, and could only pout his lips in agreement.
Zhang Zhuxuan was overjoyed and hurriedly handed tea to Liu Yunhua. The placement of this Zhuxuan's courtyard is very exquisite, unlike Xiao Qi's courtyard, although it is not dirty and messy, it has nothing to do with elegance and nobility.
A few people talked for a while, Zhang Zhuxuan let a few people leave, and when he left, Zhang Zhuxuan also gave everyone the rewards he had obtained in the palace and some rare objects, of course, the most in the small seventh courtyard.
Xiao Qi rewarded those who carried things for her with some silver taels and sent them out of the hospital, and then looked at her purse distressedly.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Hey, the third sister will send some useless things, and give me some silver taels."
"These things are good." Liu Yunhua took out a porcelain box from the pile of boxes and played with it, looking like it should be some kind of rouge inside.
Xiao Qi is not interested in these, although she is a woman, but when her life has not been resolved, she doesn't think about how to dress up, the minimum standard, just be able to see it.
"How about we take these out and sell them?" Xiao Qi looked at a jade hairpin in a box and said, "I think these things should be worth a lot of money." ”
"Thinking of asking Deacon Fan to help you sell it again?" Liu Yunhua put down the box of rouge and said a little depressedly: "I thought that I could live a good life for a few days if I left Yueguo, but why did it get worse day by day." ”
"Aunt Liu, don't say that, I'll keep that box of rouge for you."
Xiao Qi picked up the box of rouge and put it in Liu Yunhua's hand, "How could I sell Aunt Liu's rouge too." ”
Liu Yunhua thought that Xiao Qi would leave all the rouge for her, but who knew that Xiao Qi only took out the box that she had just opened, and her face instantly darkened, "Just this box?" ”
"That's right, it must be a good thing to be able to get into Aunt Liu's eyes." Xiao Qi carefully counted the types of boxes again, "There are eight boxes in total, and it is estimated that you can make some money now." ”
"You Nizi, you're better than your mother."
"Hehe, more compliments from Aunt Liu." In Xiao Qi's eyes, his eyes were now full of silver, how could he hear what Liu Yunhua said.
Liu Yunhua looked at the little wealth fan and could only sigh.
After putting these things away, it was dusk in a blink of an eye, although I ate some pastries in the palace in Zhang Zhuxuan's courtyard, I still needed to have some dinner.
Liu Yunhua was still picking up a few jewelry and a few boxes of gouache that Xiao Qi picked out just now, and he was still taking care of Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi saw that Liu Yunhua ignored her, and said, "Aunt Liu, if you want to eat something today, I will let Aunt Liu cook it in the kitchen." ”
Every time he sells something, Xiao Qi will invite Liu Yunhua to eat something good, of course, this invitation is just to ask his own cook to add a dish, adding dishes is common for them and young ladies, as long as they say hello to the kitchen, it is nothing more than to give some silver taels.
Thinking that there would be a lot of silver taels, Xiao Qi's tone instantly hardened a lot, and he asked Liu Yunhua again.
Liu Yunhua glanced at Xiao Qi with extreme contempt, "Whatever." ”
"Then I'm out."
Xiao Qi's courtyard is a relatively remote place for the Zhang family, Zhang Yizhi asked them to move to this courtyard at that time, just to prevent Xiao Qi from being targeted by the family, find such a remote place, the elders of the family can't see each other on weekdays, so Zhang Yizhi can save Xiao Qi a lot of trouble.
This place seems to be remote, but it is not far from the kitchen and the back door, and after a while, Xiao Qi hummed the tune that Aunt Liu taught her, took the food box that had just been cooked from the kitchen, and walked happily towards her courtyard.
When he was about to return to the courtyard, a man in black came out from the side, blocking Xiao Qi's way.
"Miss Seven, the second son, I want to ask Miss Seven to talk about it."
Xiao Qi was startled at first, and wanted to instinctively call for help, but when he saw it clearly, he realized that this was the shadow guard of the Zhang family's own home.
The shadow guards of the Zhang family are the guards of the sons of the Zhang family, all of whom are strong in martial arts, and act as the right-hand men of the sons of the Zhang family.
The person who came with a hat, Xiao Qi couldn't see his true face clearly, their clothes were all special, Xiao Qi asked to distinguish these from a young age, looked at his dress, and determined that this person's identity could not be faked.
"Second brother? Then you go back and let the second brother wait for me for a while, and I will go to the second brother to find him after delivering food to Aunt Liu first. ”
It's just that this person didn't make way for Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi frowned and said angrily: "What do you mean?" ”
"Miss Seven, forgive me, the second son said, let the subordinates see Miss Seven and bring you over."
"Presumptuous! No matter how I say it, it's also Miss Zhang's seventh lady, how dare you? ”
The shadow guard ignored Xiao Qi's intimidation, and still blocked in front of him, but the shadow guard gave a respectful salute, looking like he wanted to make a move.
"Miss Wang, don't force your subordinates to do it!"
It seems that if she insists on coming, she is afraid that she can only be carried by him to see his second brother Zhang Yeran.
"Okay, you find someone to bring this food box to Aunt Liu." Xiao Qi handed the food box to the black shadow guard.
When the Black Shadow Guard picked up the food box, Xiao Qi said again; "By the way, tell me Aunt Liu, and say I'll go back in a while."
"Yes."
"You know the consequences of not being able to speak, right? I'm also the titular Seventh Miss of Zhangfu. ”
"The subordinates don't dare."
"Well, forgive me for not daring, then lead the way."
is so domineering, please talk about it yourself, Xiao Qi really can't figure out what her second brother is looking for her, Xiao Qi has always been intimate with a few sisters.
Although the two brothers occasionally come to see her, the eldest brother Zhang Hai is traveling abroad to study all the year round, and the second brother Zhang Yeran is also studying in Taixue.
"I don't know what my second brother is looking for me for?"
"The subordinates don't know, but Miss Seven will naturally know when she arrives?"
Xiao Qi walked with the shadow guard for a while, but found that the road led to the garden.
"You're not on the way to the second brother's yard."
"The second son is waiting for Miss Seven in the back garden." The black shadow guard paused and said, "Miss Seven, don't worry, her subordinates will naturally not deceive, let alone have any evil intentions." ”
Xiao Qi couldn't put his mind at ease because of his words, if among several brothers and sisters, pick one she was most afraid of, then it must be her second brother, Zhang Yeran likes to keep a straight face since he was a child, and he is like this to everyone.
A long time ago, the servants in the family were telling her how fierce her second brother was, of course, Xiao Qi had never seen it, when she was very young, she thought he was just cold on the outside and hot on the inside, until she was naughty once and was seen by Zhang Yeran, she knew that what the servants said was true.
So Xiao Qi is quite nervous at the moment, could it be that he has been in trouble recently? Isn't it because Ming Ze told the second brother about that day? Her second brother attaches great importance to the face of the Zhang family outside, and when she thinks of this, she feels a chill on her back.
"Miss Seven has arrived." Xiao Qi didn't listen to the words of the black shadow guard now, "Miss Seven? ”
"Xiao Qi is here."
Zhang Yeran's words came from not far away, and Xiao Qi came back to his senses. Then he squeezed out an ugly smile, and his speech was a little unfavorable, "Two... Second brother. ”
"Come in."
Xiao Qi only saw clearly at this time that he was taken to a pavilion in the back garden, and there was a man in green clothes sitting in the pavilion, this was his second brother Zhang Yeran, his face with clear water chestnuts was as cold as a carving, and there was a cold glow in his extremely deep eyes.
"Oh." Xiao Qi walked into the pavilion and stood there obediently, waiting for the person in front of him to speak.
"Sit down." Zhang Yeran looked at his black shadow guard and handed over a food box to a maidservant, and said, "Seventh sister hasn't eaten yet, if you don't dislike it, eat with me today." ”
Xiao Qi glanced at the food on the table, and there was a trace of joy and envy in his eyes, the luxury of this table of meals was far from being comparable to that in Xiao Qi's lunch box, and they were all what he liked to eat.
It's just that when she thought that her second brother was going to trouble her, she wiped the tears from the corners of her mouth in disappointment, "I'm not hungry, second brother, you eat, don't worry about me." ”
Zhang Yeran saw Xiao Qi's appearance in his eyes, and instructed the maid on the side to quickly prepare dishes and chopsticks for Xiao Qi, "Eat, I'm not an outsider, don't see outside." ”
Xiao Qi was entangled for a moment, thinking that he would be punished today anyway, and he couldn't bitter his stomach, so he no longer shirked it, and moved his chopsticks extremely elegantly. Xiao Qi also wanted not to pretend, but her second brother was right in front of her, so she couldn't eat openly, but the frequency of the victory was fast.
Zhang Yeran poured himself a glass of wine, and watched Xiao Qi eat, "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”
"Oh." Xiao Qi could only watch the table full of delicacies and eat quickly, and could only comfort himself to be able to taste the taste of the food in one small bite
Zhang Yeran didn't eat, just sat there staring at the moonlight outside the pavilion and drinking, as if it was the legendary beautiful and delicious bar.
When he saw that Xiao Qi was already full and put down his chopsticks, Zhang Yeran opened his mouth and said, "Do you know why I am looking for you?" ”
Xiao Qiyi stretched out his hands, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, "Isn't it just for what Ming Ze said?" ”
Zhang Yeran said suspiciously: "What did Ming Ze steward say? ”
When Xiao Qi saw Zhang Yeran's expression, she naturally knew that her second brother was not for what happened a few days ago, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Then I don't know what the second brother is looking for me?" ”
Zhang Yeran smiled at first, and did not dwell on what Xiao Qi said before, but stared at Xiao Qi directly, making Xiao Qi feel pressured.
"Xiao Qi, have you seen a hairpin?"
"Hairpins?"
