Chapter Seventy-Nine: Silence
Push the door, what comes to the face is extremely elegant magnolia incense, Zheng Qiaoyan's house burns all kinds of incense all the year round, cigarettes rise from the incense burner, very quiet and elegant, although Zheng Qiaoyan does not spend the night in the Purple Silk Pavilion, but the furnishings in her room are not good at all, the tables, chairs and mattresses are complete, and the house is also very properly cleaned up.
Tao Yao sat down with Zheng Qiaoyan at the eight-treasure round table in the middle of the house, and Hong Huan served tea, then opened the food box for the equipment in Zheng Qiaoyan's house in the small kitchen, and arranged the dishes and chopsticks.
Zheng Qiaoyan didn't care at all, she just sat at the table, and asked Tao Yao, "Why did you remember to have lunch with me?" ”
Tao Yao said with a smile: "You have helped me so much, why don't you want me to thank you?" ”
As she was talking, Wu Yan also came over, first took out the box of beautifully wrapped tea, and gave it to Zheng Qiaoyan. Only then did he open Tao Yao's food box, and began to arrange the dishes, chopsticks and meals with Honghuan.
Zheng Qiaoyan just glanced at the tea leaves, and didn't say anything, only let the red winding be closed.
Tao Yao made her own decisions, saying that there was no need for Honghuan to serve here, and let her and Wu Yan go out. Hong Huan glanced at Zheng Qiaoyan, Zheng Qiaoyan nodded, she dared to retreat and talk to Wu Yanzi in the ear room.
Only Tao Yao and Zheng Qiaoyan were left in the house, slowly eating lunch.
"I see that you are unhappy about your marriage, if you believe me, you can also talk to me, although I am not as capable as you, but I may be able to accompany you to dismantle the pros and cons and solve your worries." Tao Yao suddenly opened her mouth.
Zheng Qiaoyan was unmoved, just lowered her head and ate her meal.
Tao Yao continued: "You see, I'm in trouble, the girl in this courtyard, you were the first to come to find you, and you also told you everything, you are good, don't you want to tell me a word?" ”
When Zheng Qiaoyan heard this, her heart moved, but then she said: "You told me because I chased you to ask you." ”
Tao Yao smiled and said, "Then didn't I come to chase you and ask you now?" Although I am stupid, but a fool will have a thousand thoughts, and I will get one, what if I can help you some?
Even if you can't help, listen to your complaints and scold, and you may be able to feel more comfortable. ”
Zheng Qiaoyan stopped her chopsticks, pursed her lips, and didn't say anything for a long time.
Tao Yao looked at her embarrassed look, but continued to say slowly: "You don't have to worry, when do you want to talk to someone, I have always been here, you can come and talk to me at any time." ”
Zheng Qiaoyan heard this, then continued to move the chopsticks again, lowered her head and ate slowly.
Tao Yao ate with her, but she couldn't help but look at Zheng Qiaoyan with more eyes, only to feel that this girl seemed to be very arrogant, but she was also a very thoughtful person, she loved to ask around for gossip, loved to watch plays and obedient books, but she refused to say anything to others easily.
To pry her mouth open and open her heart, it is even more difficult than Wu Yan.
This girl is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, she is interested, so she goes on the pole to chase you, in order to listen to a gossip, she can run from home to Ziya Pavilion regardless of the days of rest, but if she doesn't want to say, you can only come forward with a hot face and stick to her cold ass.
Tao Yao dug her mind to find the beginning of the conversation and told her that she was about to finish the gossip stories that she could think of that was not very important, but seeing that Zheng Qiaoyan had a mediocre reaction to this, she didn't look very interested.
After lunch, Zheng Qiaoyan issued an eviction order: "Don't you want to take a nap at noon?" Let's go back and rest for a while. ”
Tao Yao was slightly frustrated, so she could only respond: "Okay, you can rest too, you will be tired after a while." ”
Tao Yao got up to leave, and called Wu Yan to come over to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but Zheng Qiaoyan looked at Tao Yao's distant back, and the corners of her lips hooked up a shallow and slightly warm smile.
She's so stupid, she came to have lunch with her, and she has nothing to say to chat with herself, it's really funny, she really wants to be nice to herself.
Wu Yan followed Tao Yao to Tao Yao's wing room in the second courtyard, and Tao Yao asked her, "What did you ask?" ”
Wu Yan was a little embarrassed: "I don't know Honghuan very well, so I don't dare to ask too much, just as the girl said, it is true that Master Zheng mentioned that he wanted to say goodbye to Miss Qiaoyan, but he has not yet decided which family he is the son of." ”
Tao Yao felt strange, why hadn't she decided which one it was, and the girl was already so repulsed?
What Zheng Qiaoyan said to Tao Yao yesterday made Tao Yao a little hesitant at that time, whether to go to Lu Yue Library tomorrow.
However, after a while, Tao Yao still decided to go out on the second day.
Early the next morning, Wu Yan packed up the things for Tao Yao to use in the library, and sent Tao Yao out of the door, so she went back to the embroidery pavilion to prepare to learn needlework.
And Tao Yao was sitting alone in the carriage, still thinking about Zheng Qiaoyan in her heart, she suddenly thought of something, and asked Tao Yi: "Uncle Xiaoyi, how much do you know about the Zheng family of Hangzhou Prefect?" ”
Tao Yi, who was driving the carriage outside, heard this, and hurriedly replied: "I know a little bit." ”
Tao Yao said: "Is Qiaoyan's mother kissing her?" Do you know who you're looking at? ”
Tao Yi thought for a while before saying, "Girl, it is impossible for Miss Zheng's mother to kiss her." ”
Tao Yao was puzzled: "Why? ”
Tao Yi said with a smile: "Miss Zheng's mother and his father have been reconciled and separated more than ten years ago, and her mother has already married another person in the capital, this mountain is far away, and it is impossible for her to care about Miss Zheng's family affairs anymore." ”
Tao Yao was surprised, she really never thought that Qiao Yan had such a complicated life experience: "Then now, is the stepfamily in the back house of Governor Zheng?" ”
Tao Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Miss Zheng's mother is the stepfamily, the wife of the Zheng Governor's Mansion died very early, leaving only one son, and later married Miss Zheng's mother as a continuation, but it was only three years after marriage, and then they divorced, leaving only Miss Zheng as a daughter with this steproom."
At first, Miss Zheng was with her mother in the capital, but later her mother remarried, and then Miss Zheng was sent over and was with Governor Zheng.
Zheng Zhifu never married a wife again, and now there is no one in charge of the prefect's back house, I heard his coachman joke that the Zheng family's back house is Miss Zheng has the final say. ”
Tao Yao knew that there were so many changes in Zheng Qiaoyan's family, but if this was the case: "Then who is in charge of Qiaoyan's marriage?" ”
Tao Yi said: "I don't know about this. may be Miss Zheng's aunt, Zheng Zhifu's sister is also in Hangzhou, married to Lord Meng, the governor of Zhejiang. ”
Tao Yao couldn't help but sigh: "The Admiral of Zhejiang? What a big official. ”
Tao Yi drove the car with a whip and said, "Yes, I heard that Lord Zheng's Hangzhou prefect can only be appointed because of the relationship of Lord Admiral." ”
