After Yin Yuyao left, Xiao Qi set his eyes on Ai Yaya's body again.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Ai Yaya didn't say it explicitly, but ran to the door first, stretched, and pretended not to care about the situation outside.

Seeing that there was no one around, she retreated again.

"Miss, this Zhang Biao is not simple, it is really not simple."

Xiao Qi glanced at Ai Yaya, no need to say it, Xiao Qi knew that Zhang Biao was definitely not an ordinary person.

Seeing the contempt in Xiao Qi's eyes, Ai Yaya hurriedly sat down beside Xiao Qi.

"Miss, I'm not saying that it's not easy to do, but another kind of it's not simple, anti... Anyway..."

Ai Yaya sat back in her place, put her hands on the table, and buried her face inside.

Xiao Qi didn't rush to seek answers, but fell into thinking.

Yin Yuyao brought him new problems, Xiao Qi still had to think carefully before he could bargain with Zhang Biao.

However, there is no accurate information about that person now, and based on Yin Yuyao's words, Xiao Qi will not make judgments.

It's just that suddenly Ai Yaya sat up again, "Miss, how about we go to Zhang Biao's study to have a look?" ”

"What are you going to do there?"

"Of course, of course I went to school!"

Xiao Qi smiled, "What? Is there any secret hidden in Zhang Biao's room? ”

Ai Yaya said brightly: "Miss, you may not know, that room is full of..."

But in an instant, like a wilted cucumber, he continued to sit back in his original position in despair.

"What's wrong with you? Could it be that there is something else in Zhang Biao's house that cannot be said? ”

"Miss, why don't we go and have a look together, and by the way, you can also pick up a few books?"

Xiao Qi didn't agree, but stood up and patted Ai Yaya's shoulder, "You're still alone!" I'm going to see Aunt Xue. ”

Ai Yaya also stood up and followed Xiao Qi into the house, but Aunt Xue still didn't have the slightest intention of waking up.

"Miss, I think what Yin Yuyao said is very right, that is, there may be only Mr. now, who can save Aunt Xue."

"What? Why do you say that? ”

Ai Yaya replied very affirmatively: "Because that gentleman is not an ordinary person. ”

In fact, Ai Yaya, she should have known that she should have guessed since that time when she was rescued from the brink of death, but she just couldn't believe it.

Xiao Qi shook her head helplessly, this answer did not convince her.

Xiao Qi has recently lost interest in reading because of Aunt Xue's affairs, and of course because of that magical book disappeared.

Regarding the secret of that book, Xiao Qi never dared to mention it to Zhang Biao, and the two of them tacitly regarded that book as something that had never appeared.

The next day, when Xiao Qi wanted to go out, Yin Yuyao ran over early.

"Xiao Qi, are you going out?"

"Yes! How? Do you want to go with me? ”

Yin Yuyao was overjoyed and asked, "Is it okay?" ”

"What do you think?"

Yin Yuyao sighed and looked at Ai Yaya beside Xiao Qi.

Ai Ya Ya waved her hand, "You don't have to look at me, I can't decide what my young lady means." ”

Yin Yuyao also asked like this, of course it was impossible for her to go with Xiao Qi, after all, her identity was not suitable.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Qi and Ai Yaya, he took Wy out of Zhang Biao's mansion.

Although she and Wy are interested in Zhang Biao's calligraphy, it is clear that Yqy does not intend for the two of them to enjoy the same treatment as Xiao Qi.

After deciding something yesterday, Yin Yuyao still had to say hello to her brother.

Xiao Qi and Ai Yaya naturally didn't know where their Zhang family's fiefdom was.

Zhang Yeran had already considered this problem, so when Xiao Qi hadn't woken up yet, Zhang Yeran sent someone over to greet Xiao Qi.

This time he didn't come in person, maybe he was entangled in something, so he sent his henchman Shadow Guard over.

Xiao Qi and Ai Yaya were not idle on the road, lifting the curtain on the window and looking at the scenery outside.

I haven't experienced the current stability for a long time, and it seems that I am a little uncomfortable with the comfort shown by the people of the Emperor Fu.

"Seeing this scene, I don't even know if there is a war now."

Ai Yaya didn't have Xiao Qi's feelings, he was kidnapped early at that time, and he went all the way south, and he didn't experience any ups and downs on the way.

With the protection of Yin Gaoxuan and a group of masters, she arrived in Guinan safely, and then was confined to the Huinan Palace.

Even on the way to return the emperor, they didn't experience anything bad.

In addition to the smoke of gunfire on the south bank of the Nanjiang River, other places, after experiencing various small frictions, began to form a strange peace.

Therefore, when a few of them came to the way to return to the emperor, it could be regarded as a thrill.

Ai Yaya could only grab Xiao Qi's hand as a sign of comfort, "Miss..."

The carriage went all the way to the south, and the fief of the Zhang family was on the west side of the ancestral family, and this piece was on the edge of a cliff, which was a place where it could be attacked and defended.

Zhang Yeran's shadow guard drove to Xiao Qi's carriage, and through the window, he explained to Xiao Qi: "Not far in front is our Zhang family's fiefdom, and on that side is the Zhang family's main house. ”

There are two directions, and two different buildings appear in Xiao Qi's line of sight.

With the explanation of the shadow guard, Xiao Qi and Ai Yaya can be regarded as understanding, but the two of them did not remember the road here.

It seems that they don't think of this as their final destination.

At a fork in the road ahead, their carriage headed towards one of the forks, which looked a little bleaker than the other.

This time, I came here just to recognize the way, although Xiao Qi and Ai Yaya had no intention of knowing the way.

"Miss, there is our Zhang family's manor in front of you."

This is no different from the Zhang family's manors in the capital, they are all one or several small villages that guard the people who live in the Zhang family.

"Stop!"

Shadow Wei asked in surprise, "Miss wants to..."

"I'm a little tired in the carriage, go down and walk."

If there is anything different, it is just that the road leading here is much easier to walk than the outer manors of the Zhang family in the capital.

The road is paved with a lot of huge bluestones, and judging from the wear marks on the top, it has also been polished for a long time.

Zhang Yeran's shadow guard saw Xiao Qi get out of the carriage, so he handed over the horse to the servants who came with him, and asked the carriage to follow them behind.

I picked another subordinate and asked him to go back and report the news.

Xiao Qi asked, "If I delay like this, there shouldn't be anything that will cause you unnecessary trouble, right?" ”

The shadow guard shook his head and said respectfully: "Miss, please rest assured, the master and the son have been instructed, and you can do it yourself, Miss." ”

"That's good."

Stepping on the bluestone slab, Xiao Qi looked around.

Because it is in the middle of the mountain, you can see the situation on the mountain from the topography just now, but when you reach the mountainside at this time, you can see the end at a glance.

On both sides of the road are rice paddies, and at this time there are already people planting rice in the rice fields.

Seeing Xiao Qi and his group, they were not so surprised, they just looked up, and then they buried themselves in hard work again.

"These people are all tenants of our Zhang family, but we still collect rent according to the master's side as before."

Afraid that Xiao Qi would not understand, Ying Wei explained: "Because our Zhang family was in the capital before, this place has been taken care of by the main family since more than 100 years ago. ”

"It's that we're here now, and we're gradually handing over these things to us."

"Didn't you say that the ashes of our Zhang family's ancestors would be sent here?"

Ying Wei smiled, "That's right, although there are many members of our Zhang family who will come back here because of the tomb guard, but they won't bother to take care of this." ”

"Moreover, the main family has been doing a good job, and even left a lot of surprises."

Since it was a surprise, of course Ying Wei would not say it directly, these still had to be discovered by Xiao Qi himself, Xiao Qi smiled and did not ask.

It was not far from that village at that time, and the Zhang family tenants I met on the way were very conscious of making way for the group.

Many people walking on the road also saluted a few people, which made Xiao Qi feel a little embarrassed.

"Are they all afraid of our family?"

Ying Wei smiled helplessly, and said to Xiao Qi: "Miss, they are spontaneously respectful. ”

Xiao Qi didn't care about this, this respect was so respectful that it was really incredible, and he met one or two pedestrians during the period, and they didn't see them afraid in their eyes.

In this way, Xiao Qi didn't feel as weird as before, but why these people behaved like this, Xiao Qi certainly didn't want to delve into it.

As long as it is not something that threatens the Zhang family, Xiao Qi will certainly not rashly look for trouble for himself or the Zhang family.

Along the bluestone road all the way from the main city of Huaihuang Mansion to the entrance of the village, this road is a big project.

Xiao Qi stood at the entrance of the village and did not rush into the village, but looked down the mountain, the scenery here is unique.

"Miss, it's time for us to enter the village."

The shadow guard reminded on the side, and let Xiao Qi return to his senses and walk towards the village, the village doesn't look too big, but it looks like there are dozens of households.

"How many people are in the village?"

Ying Wei said: "Except for some people from our Zhang family, more than half of this village are outsiders, and now there are about 300 households. ”

"So much?"

The shadow guard nodded, "Except for the young lady who saw these houses, there is still a part of the mountain, of course, this mountain is big enough, if you count the number of people in the main family next door." ”

Ying Wei paused, thought about it again, and said to Xiao Qi: "Probably this place can accommodate more than nine hundred households. ”

Ying Wei didn't exaggerate, and even said that it was a little too little, but the main family had developed here for more than a hundred years, compared to the few people who had just come here, it was simply a local behemoth.
