The warm water on the face is warm and comfortable.

After washing up, Qiao Qixin returned to the room to eat.

The rice porridge is soft and glutinous, and the buns are filled with meat and green vegetables and shiitake mushrooms.

After eating, Qiao Qixin sat in the room and waited for the time of a pillar of incense to pass, so that she could take the medicine.

Outside the window, the birds chirped and the sun was shining, but Georgette was not ready to leave the room.

She knew that Liu Zhan did not have a very good relationship with his parents, and she was afraid that she would go out and run into people she shouldn't meet and cause trouble for Liu Zhan.

The time of a pillar of incense passed quickly.

Qiao Qixin finished drinking the medicine and lay back on the bed.

The injuries on her body are no longer painful, and after two more days, Qiao Qixin plans to mention to Liu Zhan that she will go elsewhere.

——

"Madam, the slaves and maids have inquired, and the one that Liu Gongzi brought in is to live here."

Outside the door, Mrs. Liu walked slowly.

The maidservant beside her groveled to show Madame Liu the way.

"Open the door, let me in and see who this girl is." Mrs. Liu raised her chin and said proudly.

The maidservant beside her hurriedly opened the door.

Mother He, who was holding a dish in the distance, saw it, and her heart was not good, so she quickly turned around and went to Liu Gongzi's residence.

Qiao Qixin heard the sound of the door opening, and thought it was Mother He.

Qiao Qixin looked up at the door, but saw a richly dressed noblewoman leading her maid in.

"What's your name?" The lady came to Georgette's bed and looked at her condescendingly.

Intuition told Qiao Qixin that this was a terrible person, so she tried to sit up from the bed, "My name is Qiao Qixin." ”

"Liu Zhan brought it in?" Mrs. Liu said bluntly.

Qiao Qixin hesitated and nodded.

"Where are you, how many people are in the family?" Mrs. Liu asked.

"The women of the people came from the north, and their families were ...... There was only one woman. Qiao Qixin replied.

When she said this, Qiao Qixin felt that her state was calmer than expected.

It was as if he had accepted the departure of Sister Zhang and the others.

Oh, and the unborn child in Sister Zhang's womb.

Mrs. Liu looked Qiao Qixin up and down, "Do you like Liu Zhan?" ”

Qiao Qixin shook her head, and before she could speak, her hands were held by Mrs. Liu.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu, who was originally high, looked at Qiao Qixin with blazing eyes at this time, her eyes were full of expectations.

"You like him? That's great! Get married tomorrow! With that, Mrs. Liu waved her hand and ordered, "Go and prepare the dowry immediately!" To the most! ”

Hehe, anyway, this person has no father or mother, and in the end, it won't come to me.

Mrs. Liu was "snapping" in her heart.

Qiao Qixin was stunned, and hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, I don't mean to be together with Liu Gongzi." ”

"Oh, isn't it just stupid? Let me tell you, Liu Zhan likes you, and he was beaten by his father for you last night. Mrs. Liu hurriedly said.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, I'm going to prepare something for you to get married."

Mrs. Liu let go of Qiao Qixin's hand, and then walked out while waving her hand.

Hehe, as soon as this thing is ready today, this marriage, Liu Zhan has to get married.

Mrs. Liu's eyes narrowed, and she leisurely prepared to go out.

As soon as Liu Zhan gets married, won't those famous and noble girls have to choose my son?

Oh, if you really want to talk about it, my son is the one who is serious, Liu Zhan really doesn't know what kind of shit luck he picked up, he is so lucky.

Mrs. Liu pushed open the door—

"Huh? Why are you still here? ”

Liu Zhan, who came in a hurry, happened to collide with Mrs. Liu.

"Madam, you really misunderstood, I have nothing to do with Liu Zhan!"

"Huh? Liu Zhan! Explain it to her! We're not getting along! The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and Qiao Qixin ran out of the house.

happened to see the male protagonist, Qiao Qixin shouted out and told him.

Liu Zhan immediately understood Mrs. Liu's intention, and immediately stopped her, "Mother, it's better not to get involved in the affairs of juniors." ”

Mrs. Liu glared back at Qiao Qixin, and then looked at Liu Zhan with a motherly expression.

"Didn't I match your marriage, you don't look down on Lin Mo, you will bring a girl back by yourself, I can't ...... mother" Mrs. Liu smiled.

Liu Zhan bowed his waist and said, "My son has his own plans, and he doesn't have to worry about his mother." ”

Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth and shook her veil, "Yes, yes, your wings are hard, I can't control you." ”

"What about you, who do you want to tie up with, I, I won't mix, are you satisfied? Shh Mrs. Liu raised her head and left with her maidservant.

Qiao Qixin, who felt that she had discovered something terrible, said silently, "Why does your mother seem to be ......?"

"She's not my mother, I don't have a mother." Liu Zhan said indifferently.

"She has never treated me as a son, I am just a stumbling block to her son's development in her eyes."

Qiao Qixin, who had expected it, nodded in agreement, and then changed the topic and asked, "By the way, shouldn't you be in Dali Temple?" How did you come? ”

"Today's rest, it was Mother He who called me over," Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin, "Are you okay?" ”

Qiao Qixin shook her head, "I'm fine, by the way, my body is almost better, I plan to leave the day after tomorrow." ”

"Leave? Where to? Liu Zhan didn't know why, and when he heard Qiao Qixin say that she was leaving, his body trembled.

"I'm going to work in the capital first and save money." "Then go and settle somewhere else." ”

Liu Zhan lowered his eyes and said tentatively, "Do you want to come to Dali Temple?" ”

Qiao Qixin was stunned.

Dali Temple? She won't solve the case, what can she do when she goes to Dali Temple?

"That's it, I saw that you were very good at painting in Bian Liangcheng before, and it happened that Dali Temple lacked a painter, so ......" Liu Zhan said.

Qiao Qixin thought for a moment, "Then that painter, how much silver can he get in a month?" ”

"You mean the moon? Fifty taels of silver in a month. Liu Zhan said.

Qiao Qixin was shocked.

Fifty taels! It's almost the same as when she opened the store at its most prosperous!

Qiao Qixin's eyes were full of stars, and she immediately patted her chest and responded to this errand.

Liu Zhan smiled, "Then you rest for a few more days, and I will take you to Dali Temple in two days." ”

"Good!" Qiao Qixin was excited, and then seemed to remember something, "By the way, can you bring some pen and ink back to me?" I want to practice first. ”

Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin's gesture in the air and smiled, and said, "Of course, I'll show you." ”

"Good!" Qiao Qixin looked excited, "By the way, there is one more thing." ”

Georgette clasped her hands behind her back and poked her toes on the ground.

"What?" Liu Zhan asked.

"That's it...... My sister and eldest brother's, um, the remains, what did you do with them? Qiao Qixin whispered.

In fact, she wanted to ask yesterday, but Liu Zhan didn't give her a chance to speak.

Liu Zhan was silent for a moment and said, "I sent someone to put them in the coffin, and now the coffin is in Dali Temple, where are you going to bury them?" ”

Qiao Qixin pondered for a moment, "Can you bury it, hometown?" ”

Over there, Brother Zhang has a younger sister who has to tell her.

Qiao Qixin sighed.

It's because she didn't take good care of Sister Zhang and Brother Zhang......

"Then I'll leave tomorrow, okay?" Liu Zhan said.

"Okay." Qiao Qixin nodded, revealing a smile without a smile.

Liu Zhan was silent for a moment, then gently put his hand over Qiao Qixin's head, "It's not your fault. ”

Qiao Qixin was shocked, then looked up at Liu Zhan and said with a smile, "Thank you." ”

"Hmm."

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

"I, I'll go back to Dali Temple first, if my mother still comes to look for your trouble, just pretend to be unwell, and tell me when I come back." Liu Zhan admonished.

"Okay." Qiao Qixin nodded, and then watched Liu Zhan leave.

She turned back to her room, then lay back into bed quietly.

Physically and mentally exhausted.

Mrs. Liu didn't come to find Qiao Qixin again, and Qiao Qixin didn't drag He's mother to find Liu Zhan.

Another sleepless night passed.

"Miss Qiao, wake up, Liu Gongzi is looking for you."

Qiao Qixin, who didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning, was woken up by Mother He.

She rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed.

"What's wrong? Ho Mom? Because she was in another home, Qiao Qixin couldn't make a mistake, so she forced herself to speed up her consciousness.

"Back to Miss Qiao's words, Liu Gongzi is waiting for you." As she spoke, Mother He pushed the hot water that had been prepared to Qiao Qixin, "Girl, hurry up and wash up, Childe has been waiting for a long time." ”

Qiao Qixin nodded, and then finished washing as fast as she could.

Going out, Liu Zhan was already standing at the door.

"Wake up." Liu Zhan said.

Qiao Qixin nodded, "Are we going to Dali Temple now?" ”

"No, I'll take you out of town, I've already hired the funeral men." Liu Zhan led Qiao Qixin out of the Liu Mansion.

In front of the house, a sleek steed was tied to a tree trunk on one side.

Liu Zhan took off the reins and flew on his horse.

"Take my hand." Liu Zhan stretched out his hand to Qiao Qixin below.

"Wait, wait, the two of us on a horse?" Qiao Qixin looked at Liu Zhan's outstretched hand and hesitated.

Liu Zhan was puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

Qiao Qixin reminded in a low voice, "This is on the street, you will be seen, you are the son of Liufu, I am just a people's girl." ”

Liu Zhan was surprised, and he smiled, "I don't care about those. ”

Anyway, Mrs. Liu will not let herself marry a girl from a famous family, and etiquette does not have to care.

Seeing what Liu Zhan said, Qiao Qixin shrugged her shoulders and pulled Liu Zhan's hand to get on the horse with the surprised eyes of passers-by.

She is now a loner, and she doesn't care about fame.

"Drive!"

Liu Zhan dismounted, and the horse ran away, and the two left the city in a short time.

After leaving the city, a group of people dressed in white and wearing white hats appeared in the field of vision of the two.

"Is that the funeral procession?" Qiao Qixin said.

Liu Zhan nodded.

Qiao Qixin looked carefully at the team.

In the center of the procession, there were two black coffins in front of and back, in which lay Sister Zhang, Brother Zhang, and their children.

Qiao Qixin subconsciously grabbed the hem of Liu Zhan's clothes.

"It's okay, I've hired someone to do the work, and your big brother and sister will ascend to heaven." Liu Zhan comforted.

Qiao Qixin covered her mouth and shook her head vigorously, "No...... There were three people lying inside......"

"My sister, she's also pregnant......"

Liu Zhan was silent for a long time, "I promise, I will eradicate the Jia family." ”

Qiao Qixin gritted her teeth tightly, tears constantly overflowing from her closed eyes.

The emotions that had been suppressed for a few days erupted when I saw the coffin of my sister and brother.

Liu Zhan patted Qiao Qixin's hand holding the hem of his clothes to show comfort, and then said sharply, "Get up-coffin!" ”

The funeral procession immediately lifted the coffin, and several people in charge of playing funeral music also played suona.

For a time, the suona sounded in unison, and the yellow paper was all over the sky.

The two followed the funeral procession on horseback, and Qiao Qixin covered her mouth and hid behind Liu Zhan and cried silently.

As long as she walked this way, Qiao Qixin cried for as long as she could.

By the time she got off the horse, her eyes were already red and swollen.

Qiao Qixin choked up and tugged at Liu Zhan's sleeve, "Can I go to Brother Zhang's own sister?" She didn't know about it yet. ”

"Do you need me to come with you?" Liu Zhan said.

Qiao Qixin shook her head and showed a far-fetched smile at Liu Zhan, "No need, I'll just go by myself." ”
