Chapter Twenty-Seven: Smile at each other
Concubine Rou is very slender and has always been a little weak, if it weren't for the help of the young man, Qi Zhenzhen was afraid that she would have to suffer a little, so she was very grateful to the young man in her heart, and wanted to do something to express her gratitude.
It just so happened that the purse of the young master of the Zheng family seemed to have just been defaced, Qi Zhenzhen thought about it and helped him remake it, she was still young, even if she gave the young man's purse, at most it was a sign of gratitude, not a private gift.
It's just that Qi Zhenzhen just started to learn embroidery with Yao, and she is only a beginner in needlework, and she is not proficient, and she is not very good-looking, so she needs Yao's help.
The little man just went out for a trip, but the original light blue dress was stained with mud, and his face became a little flower cat, Yao looked at Qi Zhenzhen, and wiped his hands carefully with a handkerchief with some distress, and then said softly:
"Pay attention when you go out in the future, after all, this is not in Nanding Town, and we are not very familiar with it."
"Got it, mother, and mother, I want to ask you to help me choose a pattern for making a purse."
Qi Zhenzhen whispered in Yao's ear about the young man helping her, Yao's heart was also a little grateful when she heard this, she touched Qi Zhenzhen's head, and said to her with a smile:
"This should have been, don't worry about the purse, I still have some fabric, you said that the young man likes elegant colors and patterns, then I will carefully pick it, but the needle and thread are a little lacking, wait for tonight to go to the embroidery room to find it."
When she thought of this, Yao's heart moved, and she seemed to have some impressions of Mrs. Li's grandson.
Mrs. Li was born in a poor family, and his wife was the only daughter of his teacher, I heard that the two were very affectionate, and it was once a good story, and later Mrs. Li gave birth to a daughter and married into the Zheng family, a large family in the northwest.
Speaking of which, he and Miss Li had a bit of friendship when they were in the boudoir, and knew that the other party was also a person with a gentle personality, if Zhen Zhen was with that young man.
When he thought of this thought, Yao's heart first moved, and then he shook his head secretly.
It was she who was confused again, and had long forgotten that the Marquis of Mingyuan Mansion was no longer the marquis of the past, and now how could they be worthy of the Zheng family, not to mention that the young man seemed to be the eldest grandson, and he would be the head of the family in the future.
Yao's heart was a little depressed, she lowered her head and carefully wiped Qi Zhenzhen's face with a handkerchief, these days are not as hard as exile, Qi Zhenzhen's originally somewhat emaciated cheeks have grown new flesh, and the whole person looks white and lovely.
Yao looked at Qi Zhenzhen with some pity, and didn't know what would happen to her daughter's marriage in the future, but she only hoped that her father could get some attention when he went to the west, and hoped that the identity of the Marquis of Mingyuan could be eaten over there, so that Zhenzhen's marriage could be said to be better.
But these are still a later story, when the carriage stopped, Mrs. Li and Master Qi booked the upper room of the inn together, and Yao took Qi Zhenzhen to the embroidery room, wanting to find some elegant needlework to show off the purse.
When they went out, they were stopped by Concubine Rou, who first looked at Qi Zhenzhen and smiled, and then said to Yao with some embarrassment:
"I didn't pay attention to it today, but fortunately I got the help of the little prince of the Zheng family, you want to go out to buy needlework and thread, I will go with you, my embroidery is not bad, and I have seen many unique patterns in the palace, I can help come up with ideas."
After all, this purse is considered an apology and a thank you gift, and Master Qi and Mrs. Li look quite friendly, so it is natural to make it more delicate and appropriate, so as not to be rude.
"Sister Rou is polite, Zhen Zhen's temperament has always been a little arrogant, what should you do? I want to thank you for teaching Zhen Zhen all these days, teaching it both principles and rules, and I really put my heart into it. ”
Talking and laughing, the two of them had a lot of deed, so Concubine Rou and Yao's went to the embroidery room with Qi Zhenzhen, and now it was the time for dinner, and there were many people coming and going on the road, but they saw that this town was not as stable as Nanding Town.
Qi Zhenzhen also saw that there were begging on the road, dressed in rags, looking at a little girl with a yellow face and thin muscles, Qi Zhenzhen felt a little unbearable, so she counted a few copper coins from her small purse and put them beside the little girl.
This money is still Qi Zhenzhen's share of the cake she got from making talented cakes, and she used most of it to exchange it for silver, which is more convenient and portable, and does not take up much space, and the remaining scattered ones are kept for pocket money, after all, she is a foodie, and she always wants to buy some fresh food and the like.
The little girl saw Qi Zhenzhen, her big eyes blinked, and she timidly said thank you.
Qi Zhenzhen waved her hand and was about to turn around and leave, but unexpectedly, Concubine Rou and Yao's side were surrounded by a gentleman with some subordinates.
Yao and Concubine Rou are from a big family in the end, and the figure and charm between the two are quite prominent in this town, but most of the people they see will only be amazed by their temperament.
What's more, Concubine Rou and Yao's also deliberately concealed it, only wearing a wider dress, and no powder on their faces, making themselves look more ordinary, but they didn't expect to be coveted by others.
"Yo! Why is the beauty in a hurry to leave? Don't worry, stay here to talk to the uncle, if you want to eat and buy, just open your mouth, and follow me to eat and drink spicy food. ”
I saw a few people dressed like a small man surrounding the two of them, and the person who spoke was dressed in brocade clothes, and there was a cruel smile on his face as he spoke.
Looking at the scene, many people moved farther away, but most of them were still watching the excitement from afar. Seeing that the man in brocade seemed to want to tease these two girls, some well-wishers wanted to step forward to distinguish them, but they were unexpectedly caught by the people around them.
"Don't go, do you know who that person is, he's the nephew of the prefect."
"Since it's the nephew of the prefect, how could he come to our town, don't be kidding, you want to tease those two girls when you see that man, don't pull me."
"What do you know? The reason why the nephew of the prefect came to this town was to avoid the eyes and ears of others.
I heard that he also molested a girl in Nafu City a few days ago, but I didn't expect that the girl also had a lot of family background, and it seemed that she was also the daughter of a big official.
The prefect has always loved this nephew, so he asked him to come to this town to avoid the eyes of others, and wait for the limelight to pass before coming back, which my cousin of my relatives heard about.
She is also a maid in a big family in Fucheng, I heard that it was a big trouble, that girl was about to get married, but she was withdrawn from marriage, and such a family background can be teased by this person, what kind of excitement do we come forward to join? ”
The onlookers were discussing in twos and threes, but the man in brocade was getting closer and closer to Concubine Rou, and Yao was about to pull Concubine Rou to dodge.
Unexpectedly, there were obstacles from the brocade-clothed man's men behind and around her, and Concubine Rou no longer dodged when she saw this, but said coquettishly:
"If you do this unrighteous act in public, can you do whatever you want with your own family background?"
Hearing this little lady speak, and looking at her Zhou Shen's extraordinary bearing, the little guy next to her timidly pulled the sleeve of the brocade man, called out to the boy in a low voice, and then whispered:
"The day before yesterday, you flirted with the young lady of the head of the ministry, who was originally going back to his hometown to visit relatives, but unexpectedly was divorced again, and now the prefect wants you to avoid the limelight, looking at this woman's words and deeds are also an extraordinary background, it is better to have more than one thing."
"Why is it your turn to teach me a lesson, what kind of thing are you, and you dare to order me?"
Because of the matter of the daughter of the head of the ministry, he was already a little unhappy in his heart, how can this town compare to the prosperity of the city, like a bird trapped in a cage all day long, he finally saw two beauties, he wanted to have a good time.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and slapped the little guy's face, and in an instant, the little guy's face was red and swollen, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Then the man turned his head to look at Yao and Concubine Rou, looked at the two beauties, and said with an arrogant expression:
"Don't toast and don't eat and drink, I'm not a good-tempered person, you'd better come with me obediently, ouch, where did you come from, such a big force."
The man in the brocade robe was impatiently trying to step forward and forcibly pull the two away, but a little girl punched him in the leg, originally he didn't take it to heart, but he didn't expect such a little girl to have so much strength, the man in brocade only felt a pain in his leg, and then ushered in the little girl's fist.
He was originally a wine bag and rice bag, and he relied on the rabble around him to swagger through the market on weekdays, but he didn't expect this little girl to have such ability.
He shouted for evasion, and said to the group of servants beside him:
"Are you all wooden? If you don't throw this little girl out of me, throw me into the green building, let the bustard teach it the rules, quickly, I won't sell you all again. ”
"Yes, Childe."
After hearing these words, those little guys surrounded Qi Zhenzhen, Qi Zhenzhen's heart was also a little anxious, although she had some strength, and followed Qi Erye to learn kung fu for a while, but in the end, she was still just learning, it was okay to deal with such a wine bag and rice bag, so many people were around, so what should she do? Qi Zhenzhen thought secretly.
Just when she was anxious, she heard a slightly familiar and clear voice behind her:
"Zhu Gongzi really hasn't seen you for a long time, but I didn't know that you came to this town."
As soon as Qi Zhenzhen raised her head, sure enough, it was the little boy surnamed Zheng, but she didn't expect to meet him again, and when the young man Zhu saw him, he also turned his head angrily, and then said:
"What? This just beat me up, are you going to come and support her and meddle with things? ”
"This little girl just saw the unevenness of the road, among which you know best the rights and wrongs Zhu Gongzi, I believe Master Wu is also very clear, I heard that the Ministry of Ministers is now looking for Zhu Gongzi everywhere, Zhu Gongzi might as well go home as soon as possible, it is better than hiding in Tibet everywhere."
He smiled back to that Zhu Gongzi, his attitude was very friendly, but there was a little disdain between his eyebrows.
And that Zhu Gongzi also seemed to be quite jealous of him, and the arrogant momentum of Fang Cai was no longer just now, he glared at Qi Zhenzhen fiercely, and then left with those slaves in a gloomy manner, and Qi Zhenzhen just raised his head, and then looked at each other and smiled, Yao and Concubine Rou walked in front of Qi Zhenzhen, and thanked the young man very gratefully.
