Chapter 470: Three years rush by the fingers
The early morning sun is not so lazy, shining obliquely into the room from the door, spreading on the beautiful peach blossom screen in the room, the peach blossoms seem to gain life, open bewitching.
Behind the peach blossom screen is an elegant guqin, and the incense burner next to it is rising a few faint wisps of incense.
The smoke drifted along the breeze to the window, the window had already been opened by the maid, and the green bamboo outside the window shook gently, and the mottled broken shadows sprinkled on the rosewood desk by the window, like water waves flowing.
Looking back, it is a dresser, with a copper mirror and a carved mahogany jewelry box on it, and a pair of beautiful eyes are reflected in the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, it seems that the woman is very satisfied with her makeup, and there is a smile on the corner of her mouth.
When the maid behind the woman saw that she was about to get up, she stepped forward and gently lifted the woman up.
After taking off the woman's clothes from the hanger on the side, and after the woman got dressed and sat down at the table, the maid poured the tea that had been brewed for her, and said with a smile: "Miss Seven, you are in a good mood today." ”
"I'm going to see my brother today."
Xiao Qi glanced at the newly opened peach blossom branches in the printed porcelain vase on the table, opened the lid of the tea cup, and slowly took a sip of tea.
Xiao Qi is used to this kind of day of being served, and when he was at home with his brother before, he did it himself.
Until he entered the master's door, thinking of this, Xiao Qi's eyes showed a trace of helplessness.
Xiao Qi has come to this peach blossom stream, and it has been more than three years.
During this period, she studied and studied art here, and it seemed that the outside world had nothing to do with her.
"Xue Yi and Ai Ya haven't come over yet?"
"Miss Seven, the two girls have already greeted this side early, saying that they want to do something, and they will come over in a while."
Xiao Qi nodded and said Okay, the eighteenth change of the female university, more than three years later, Xiao Qi is even more beautiful.
It's just that judging from her movements, there is a little more laziness, and there is a little more coquettishness and grace between her gestures.
"Miss."
Xiao Qi slowly turned around and saw Ai Yaya who came in in a hurry.
"What's going on?"
"Miss..."Ai Yaya was just full of panic, but she didn't know what to say, and after a long time, Xiao Qi didn't know what she wanted to express.
"You slow down, and there are no outsiders, what are you anxious about?"
The maids on the side exited the door very sensibly, Ai Yaya calmed down for a while, and then said, "Oh no, something big happened outside!" ”
Zhang Biao's mansion, the main city of Huaihuang Mansion.
Ling'er walked to Yue Qingyi's side and whispered in her ear, "Miss, Young Master Xiao of the Yang Mansion is visiting." ”
Yue Qingyi frowned, and thought in her heart, what is he doing at this moment, she who was already annoyed wanted to thank the guest, but after thinking about it, at this time, even if Xiao Qing has no brains, he will not come to entangle himself, he must have something important to discuss, maybe. There will be a slight turn for the better.
"Okay, I know, you first invite Xiao Gongzi to the side hall to watch the tea and wait, don't neglect the other party."
Although Ling'er was puzzled by Yueqingyi's approach, she didn't dare to say anything against her in the young lady's boudoir, so she retreated silently.
There was a woman on the bed, the woman's eyes were hollow, looking straight up, Yue Qingyi didn't say anything, re-covered the woman with the quilt, and left.
Xiao Qing, who was waiting in the side hall, was excited at the moment, sitting on the armchair chair, tapping the armrest with the fingers of his right hand, crossing Erlang's legs, and tasting tea with a teacup in his left hand.
In Zhang's Mansion, he had never received this kind of treatment, and at this time, he felt that he was a son-in-law, and he had been rejected before.
"Xiao Gongzi, why did you think of coming to our Zhang Mansion at this time." Yue Qingyi came to the side hall and sat opposite Xiao Qing while talking.
The moment Xiao Qing saw Yue Qingyi, she instinctively stood up, "Qingyi, you're here, I thought you wouldn't come in person." ”
As he spoke, the flattery on Xiao Qing's face became more and more intense.
Yue Qingyi frowned lightly at the moment that Xiao Qing didn't notice, and said with a smile; Xiao Gongzi said with a smile, there are distinguished guests coming to the door, how can there be no courtesy. Xiao Gongzi, please be seated. ”
"Okay, okay." Xiao Qing nodded yes and sat back, but he didn't have the casualness just now, and he looked restrained.
"Young Master Xiao, you and I are not so familiar with each other, so instead of the name of Yue Qingyi, Childe still calls me Yue Girl." Yue Qingyi took a sip of tea and said.
"Yes, what Miss Yue taught me is, look at me, a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue."
Yue Qingyi looked at Xiao Qing's attitude, and it was really hard to say anything, so she could only sigh.
"What is Xiao Gongzi talking about this time?" Yue Qingyi was not entangled in the name, and immediately changed the topic and asked.
"Miss Yue, you also know that in the past few days, the rebel army has come to the city, and Yang Bo, the leader of the rebel army, has made a condition that as long as he takes money, he can live. Today, the Xiao family and several other families sent people to negotiate with Yang Bo, and he promised us that as long as we took out a certain amount of property now and provided a certain amount of funding for their rebel army in the future, he could let us out of the city. Xiao Qing said after taking a sip of tea; I'm here to get you out of town with me. ”
"Oh, Xiao Gongzi is planning for me to go out of the city with you? So at what cost? ”
"Light clothes, eh, moon girl, although we can pay money to go out of the city, but the number of places is also limited, and we can only take a few people out of the city,"
It seemed that Xiao Qing wanted to say something important again, looking around, afraid that others would listen.
Yue Qingyi said, "Don't worry, the rest of my Zhang Mansion will not like to eavesdrop like the people in your Xiao Mansion." ”
Xiao Qing coughed lightly to show embarrassment. But he still said in a low voice: "According to the people we sent out, this time the rebel army besieged Huaibei for one person."
Xiao Qing looked at Yue Qingyi's face a little bad, and said: "I think Yue Qingyi should have guessed that his purpose was your Zhang Mansion, and the person who wanted to get it was most likely your patriarch Zhang Biao." ”
Xiao Qing said At this time, he suddenly relaxed, took a sip of tea, and then said, "You also know the reputation of your son-in-law Zhang Biao in this troubled era, although the righteous army will not move your Zhang family for the time being, but what about the future." You should also know the temperament of your Zhang family's son. ”
Yue Qingyi frowned and thought about something, and sighed, "Thank you Xiao Gongzi for the reminder of coming this time, we understand the kindness, if there is anything, I will visit the Xiao Mansion." Yue Qingyi still has something to do, so he won't accompany him. ”
Xiao Qing heard that Yue Qingyi didn't say anything, so he didn't say any more, Xiao Qing stood up and said to Yue Qingyi, "Even so, I'll leave first."
After Xiao Qing finished speaking, he made a look of wanting to speak and stopped.
Yue Qingyi asked, "Young Master Xiao, do you have anything else to say?" ”
Although Xiao Qing wanted to say that it was gone, she was unwilling in her heart, so she said, "Qingyi, you know my affection for you, I don't want to do anything to you this time, I just want you to be safe, so... ”
"Enough, Xiao Gongzi, don't talk about it, Ling'er, send off."
Yue Qingyi, who had sent Xiao Qing away, thought for a long time in the side hall, and then walked towards his bedroom again.
Uncle Li's eyes were full of embarrassment, and his hands were lowered and kept rubbing.
Tightened his brows, looked around, his eyes were full of embarrassment, sighed in the corridor for a long time, returned to the outside of Yue Qingyi's room, raised his hand, his lips moved, he put down his hand again, sighed in a low voice, and turned around to leave.
"Uncle Li?" Yue Qingyi walked over from the corridor on the side and stopped Uncle Li, who wanted to leave.
When Uncle Li saw the main master, his gaze began to drift, and he didn't dare to look at Yue Qingyi. Slowly walked briskly towards the place where the moon light clothes were.
"Uncle Li, is there something wrong" Yue Qingyi stopped in the corridor pavilion and sat down, looking at Uncle Li who was standing aside.
"Ah, that moon girl, that..." Uncle Li hung his head, not knowing what to say. His face was swollen and red, and he kept rubbing his hands.
Yue Qingyi looked at Uncle Li, smiled, and said, "Uncle Li, go make me a pot of tea, it's okay." ”
When Uncle Li heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, replied well, and ran to make tea.
Yue Qingyi's smile faded, thinking about what Xiao Qing said in the courtyard just now.
Now that the soldiers are in the city, the rich can buy places to go out of the city, but who can guarantee what these scoundrels will do to them.
Now there are only female dependents left in Zhang's mansion, and the most important thing is that the woman is still in the mansion. There are so many things in front of her now, and she can't choose.
Even if as Xiao Qing said, he could take her out of the city, but what about Zhang's Mansion and the woman? The woman's expression has not been right lately,
When she was at a loss, Uncle Li came back from making tea, interrupting Yue Qingyi's thoughts.
"Moon girl, this is the tea you wanted."
"Uncle Li, sit down too."
Uncle Li sighed, poured tea for Yue Qingyi, and sat down on the other side.
"Uncle Li, what are you doing when you came to me?"
Uncle Li lowered his head, gritted his teeth, as if he was firm in something, raised his head, stood up, and said to Yue Qingyi,
"Miss Yue, you may not know, my husband and wife have been working in the Zhang family for most of their lives, and even the dog and his wife died following the young master back then. It doesn't matter if our old couple is dead, I just ask you. ”
Speaking of this, Uncle Li's eyes were ruddy, and he left tears in his eyes, "I just ask you to bring my hard-working granddaughter when you go out of the city, and it will be regarded as me begging you, Miss Yue, for the sake of our family's dedication to Zhang's mansion." ”
Saying Uncle Li, he was going to kneel down for Yue Qingyi
"Uncle Li," Yue Qingyi put down the teacup and hurriedly helped Uncle Li up. Bench him on a stool and sit down.
"Uncle Li, I will definitely help in this matter, not only Yaya, you, Aunt Li, everyone in the house, I will not give up."
Yue Qingyi's words did not dispel Uncle Li's doubts, Yue Qingyi is not Zhang Biao, and he can't strategize. All she could do now was to appease people, and even then, at this point, it was of little use.
"Moon girl, my old bones, I will die when I die, but Yaya is still young, she is still young!!"
Uncle Li's mood was a little unstable, and Yue Qingyi could only sigh.
When Uncle Li's son followed Zhang Biao's lobbying, he died of illness halfway, and Uncle Li's daughter-in-law was also depressed because of her husband's death.
After Zhang Biao returned to Jianghuai Huang Mansion, because he felt indebted to the Li family, he let Uncle Li and his wife enjoy the treatment of the master's family, and their granddaughter Yaya directly became Zhang Biao's adopted daughter.
I had been living outside before, but because the two old people were physically handied, Yue Qingyi wanted to do a filial piety for Zhang Biao and took the two old men to the city.
But who would have thought that such a thing would happen.
"Uncle Li, don't worry, even if you can't trust me, you should believe in Childe, Childe will not leave Yaya, not to mention that Miss and Miss Biao love Yaya so much, they will definitely not let her have anything to do."
Yue Qingyi moved out of Zhang Biao, so she dispelled Uncle Li's worries and asked him to go back first.
Others say that it is a dilemma, but at this moment, Yue Qingyi really can't choose.
