"Yo, isn't this Ziming's little brother, where is this going?"

Bad luck, that's how I met him. Zhang Ziming's heart tightened, and he hurriedly squeezed out a smile and responded: "The young master is out of the house, I will look for him." ”

The person who spoke walked slowly in front of Zhang Ziming, smiled softly, but pretended to be caring, "Then little brother go quickly, don't delay." ”

Zhang Ziming didn't want to entangle with this person, so he hurriedly said goodbye and walked quickly.

But he heard the person behind him say slowly: "In the end, he is a person from the poor countryside, and the young master will not take him anywhere." Zhang Ziming only pretended not to hear, and he didn't turn his head back, but his fists were clenched tightly.

This person is the son of Laihu, one of the three major stewards of the Qian Mansion, named Lai Shun, who had also participated in the selection of young master scholars before, but in the end he was taken advantage of by Zhang Ziming, a nameless boy, and he has always been a little resentful of Zhang Ziming in his heart. As soon as he was looking for space, he was very sad for Zhang Ziming.

Zhang Ziming knew that he was an outsider after all, and he was weak, and he had a hard time with these cronies in the house, and in the end, he was just guilty. And the old acquaintances of Zhang Ziming's parents, who were on an errand in the Qian Mansion, also vaguely knew these things, but he had no status, so he could only persuade Zhang Ziming to be more patient, learn some skills, and leave in three and five years.

After all, Zhang Ziming is only fifteen years old, and it is when his blood is strong, and he has been wronged inexplicably, but he can't retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, and he has to greet him with a smile, which is really aggrieved. It's not that Zhang Ziming doesn't want to fight back, but others act seamlessly, Zhang Ziming just wants to have a seizure, but he can't find evidence, so he can only endure it silently by himself several times.

Zhang Ziming's face was flushed, his pace was getting faster and faster, and his mind was cranky, thinking that if his family didn't send him to Qianfu to learn art at that time, and if he didn't be this scholar, all kinds of emotions would pour into his heart together. I also thought that I was thousands of miles away from home, with no relatives and friends, and no elders, like duckweed, and I would be looked down upon and ridiculed by others.

Zhang Ziming was just walking, but he didn't know when he had already left the city and walked to the suburban stream. At this time, Zhang Ziming had already forgotten about the matter of looking for Qian Miao, and sat silently by the stream, hugging his legs, looking at the reflection in the water.

Suddenly, a pebble broke the calm water surface and splashed a few drops of water on Zhang Ziming's face. Zhang Ziming was about to look up, but saw a string of rock sugar gourds appear in front of him, and when he was surprised in his heart, he only heard a slightly immature voice ringing in his ears.

"Little brother, eat candy, don't cry when you eat candy. ”

Zhang Ziming took the rock sugar gourd in a daze, and when he looked up, a little girl in purple clothes was still holding a string of rock sugar gourds in one hand, and the little girl had obviously bitten a few bites on it.

"Thank you, little sister, this rock sugar gourd is delicious. Zhang Ziming took a bite, only to feel the sweetness in his heart, and most of the grievances and resentment in his heart disappeared.

"It's delicious, I've eaten more than a dozen skewers today, I didn't expect the food in this town to be so delicious. When the little girl heard Zhang Ziming say yes, she smiled, so she naturally sat down next to Zhang Ziming and slowly ate the sugar gourd in her hand.

Zhang Ziming also looked at the little girl in front of him carefully, saying that she was a girl because she was petite, but when she looked closely, he felt that there was a killing aura between her eyebrows, but the pure smile on her face and her big black and white eyes made people feel that she was just a simple girl next door.

"Little brother, why are you staring at me all the time? Is there anything dirty on my face?" the girl quickly wiped her face.

Zhang Ziming smiled, only thinking that this little girl was very simple and cute, and he also let down his guard in his heart. He asked, "Little sister, what is your name, why are you here alone, and the adults in your family?"

"Yueyue, my name is Yueyue. The adults in the family are all busy, so they only know what to tell me to come out alone, what kind of dead old man to find. After speaking, the little girl's cheeks puffed out, as if she was not dissatisfied.

"Fortunately, there is such delicious food in this town, what old man, Yueyue doesn't care. But, little brother, you're from the town, do you know an old man with no name?" the girl turned her head to look at Zhang Ziming, and she was a little playful and cute.

"Looking for someone? This is not a name, how can you find this? But a distant relative of your family?"

"Forget it, this dead old man, what's the matter, Yueyue has eaten enough first, hehe. Little brother, it's not early, I'll go first, I'll see you again. With that, the little girl jumped and left without looking back.

Zhang Ziming looked at the sugar gourd in his hand, and then looked at the back of the little girl in the distance, and he was a little moved in his heart. Thinking that he was angry because of some irrelevant people, he was still not strong enough, if he could win the training in Sanfu and be selected as an escort to cultivate in Xianmen, he would definitely make these people dare not underestimate themselves.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ziming remembered that it was indeed not early, and he didn't know if Young Master Qian Miao had returned to the house, so he carefully wrapped the rock sugar gourd, and hurriedly ran back to the house.

"Can you see Zhang Ziming!? Young Master Ben told you, Young Master Ben knows that you are mean to Zhang Ziming on weekdays, don't think that I don't know about the tricks you are doing behind your back, but Zhang Ziming is stopping me and not bothering with you. If he has three longs and two shorts today, I will tell you subordinates to get rid of you. ”

Zhang Ziming heard Qian Miao's voice from a distance, and ran closer to see that Qian Miao was standing at the door of Qian Mansion at this time, and several doormen were standing beside him, who were cautiously replying.

As soon as Zhang Ziming approached, a sharp-eyed doorman saw it and hurriedly shouted: "Young Master Qian Miao, Brother Ziming is back!"

"Who is your brother, he is the young master's scholar, you can't call him too much. ”

"Yes, yes, young master, the little one has a lot of mouths, the little ones have a lot of mouths..."

Qian Miao saw Zhang Ziming coming, and took a closer look at Zhang Ziming a few times, and saw that there seemed to be no external injuries, and her heart instantly felt a lot more relieved. said: "Disperse you, next time, Young Master Ben will definitely break your dog's legs." ”

After saying that, he took Zhang Ziming's arm and entered the house. The two of them didn't say anything all the way until Qian Miao's courtyard.

Qian Miao closed the door, turned to Zhang Ziming and said, "Anyway, what's wrong with you today?"

Zhang Ziming was silent, not knowing how to speak. Qian Miao didn't urge, dug out the peach blossom drunk hidden under the peach tree in the courtyard, took a sip of it himself, and threw it to Zhang Ziming. Zhang Ziming took a sip, only to feel that the wine was fragrant and refreshing.

"Thank you, young master. Ziming is fine, it's getting late now, and there will be a selection of people tomorrow, so Ziming will wait for the young master to rest. ”

Qian Miao sighed inwardly, stuffy gourd, why can't it be pressed. Suddenly, I thought, "Choose, okay, I'm afraid you're going to pee." Tomorrow, Young Master Ben will see your performance! This election, let's go into the house, and I'll tell you in detail..."

In the depths of the night, red candles are swaggering, the moon is shining, and a pot of sake and tea is shining.
