After about an hour, they finally arrived at Liuyun Villa in Jiaoshan. The shadow of the mountains in the distance was like a splashed ink painting under the moonlight. However, Shen Ziqiao was exhausted physically and mentally, and she didn't have the heart to appreciate the night scenery at all. She just wanted to lie down Get a good night's sleep.
The people in Zhuangzi never thought that it was so late, and there would still be people coming from the capital. The servants and servants were completely unprepared, and they were in a mess for a while.
Shen Ziqiao stood in the yard and watched Hongyu instructing the maids and women to clean the house and replace them with new quilts, and Hongying ordered the little maids to boil water.
The busy servants were busy with their work, and from the corner of their eyes, they glanced at Shen Ziqiao and the imposing man beside her from time to time.
Qi Zheng's personality was calm and calm. Seeing the chaotic scene in front of him, he was shocked for a moment, and turned his head to look at the little girl who didn't have his shoulders. , the skin is fair and lustrous, as if it can be broken by a blow, but the eyes are almost closed. If it is not for the big tree next to it, I am afraid that I will not be able to stand still.
What kind of girl is this
He had never heard of her before, and if he hadn't been misunderstood with her in Qianfo Temple, he wouldn't have asked about her.
It is said that she is arrogant and domineering, she can be said to be a dandy, obsessed with the Ninth Prince, treats people tricky, and is extremely difficult to get along with, but based on the only two times he had contact with her, he found that she was not very similar to the rumors. The style of writing is not like a real lady, but it can't be called arrogant and tricky, it's just... ghostly, like a child.
"Why did you leave the capital to come here in the middle of the night?" He couldn't help asking her. When he hid in her carriage, he was really surprised when he saw her.
Shen Ziqiao felt that she could fall asleep standing up, and when she heard Qi Zheng's question, she laughed at herself, "I told you that I was kicked out."
Seeing her precarious body, Qi Zheng almost wanted to stretch out his hand to support her, "Even if I drive you here, you should go out of the city at dawn, and it's not easy to walk at night, in case of any accident..."
"Like meeting you in such an accident?" Shen Ziqiao asked with a smile.
"I don't intend to interrupt." Qi Zheng said.
"Well, you stole something from someone else, and you were forced to hide in my car." Shen Ziqiao said mockingly.
Qi Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and stopped talking.
Shen Ziqiao looked up at his handsome outline, and found that he actually looked much better than that Ninth Prince, who was just like a sissy, she liked such an imposing man, "Why are you pretending to be stupid?"
But when they met by chance, Qi Zheng naturally wouldn't tell her his secret.
"It's fine if you don't say it, everyone has a secret that is inviolable to others." Shen Ziqiao said indifferently, "I have never been a person who makes things difficult for others."
Qi Zheng looked down at her and heard her continue talking.
"However, you just finished using me, and now you plan to eat mine, live in mine and sleep in mine. Shouldn't I ask clearly? Who knows if you are a bad person? What if you stole something from me in the middle of the night? , I'll talk to someone." Shen Ziqiao said with a serious expression, very thoughtful.
"What do you have for me to steal?" Qi Zheng asked back, his deep voice was like mellow old wine, full of seductive charm.
Shen Ziqiao pouted unconsciously, "Who knows what you're interested in."
Qi Zheng laughed softly, looked at her and shook his head, "Someone will pick me up tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Didn't you see the eyes of those people? The little reputation I had left is all ruined in your hands." Shen Ziqiao said with a curl of her lips, "Lonely men and widows come to this ghost place. Those who don't know think that I'm running away."
"It's not counted as lonely men and widows, but there are two maids like you." Qi Zheng said in a low voice, "Besides, it's impossible to elope to the family's Zhuangzi."
Shen Ziqiao glanced at him sullenly, without any sense of humor!
Finally the house was tidied up, Hongyu came over to ask Shen Ziqiao to rest, and looked at Qi Zheng hesitantly.
Miss San didn't seem to have said how to arrange for Young Master Qi.
When Shen Ziqiao heard that she could rest, she was almost moved to tears, "It's great, I'm almost sleepy."
Hongyu still looked at Qi Zheng with a little timidity.
"Well, just find a room for Young Master Qi. If there are not enough rooms, the firewood room can make do." Shen Ziqiao waved her small hand and entered the inner room with ease.
Qi Zheng raised his eyebrows, and looked at Shen Ziqiao's back noncommittally.
Hongyu laughed a few times in embarrassment, asking the dignified Young Master Qi to live in the woodshed? Only the third lady could figure this out.
Hongying had already prepared hot water, Shen Ziqiao took a comfortable bath, ate some noodles casually, looked at the two maids who were hesitant to talk, "I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have anything to say, I just want to sleep now. "
It is not only the two Hongyu sisters who have many questions, but also the servants who have been awakened in their sleep and have been busy for a long time. They are still guessing why the third lady came here suddenly, and they also brought a girl who didn't look very good. Satisfied man.
Qi Zheng is still a fool in front of others.
Hongyu arranged her in the west wing room in the courtyard next door. The room was cleaned briefly, and there was a sense of shade that had not been lived for many years, but it was already much better than the firewood house.
Behind the courtyard where Shen Ziqiao lives, there is a row of back-covered houses, which are occupied by the servants of the Zhuangzi. Candles are lit in a room to the north, and the faint light shines through the paper-pasted windows, which can be faintly heard. There was a whisper.
"Why did the third lady suddenly appear here? Could it be..." A woman with a simple armband put her hands on her knees, her dark skinned face was a little nervous, she looked at another woman who had already gone to bed. People, "What happened in the capital?"
"He was kicked out." The woman on the bed said flatly and indifferently, "What does it have to do with us? Go to sleep, we don't know how she will torment us tomorrow."
"Someone in the capital is bullying the third lady? How good is this? The third lady is delicate and expensive, how can she live in such a rural place, it must be that old shrew who doesn't like her." The woman continued talking, not at all. sleep.
The sleeping woman said indifferently, "That's also their grandchildren's business. It has nothing to do with us slaves. We are just a dog they raise and play with."
The woman stood up abruptly, bit her lips, "Do you still mind what Miss San said back then? She was still a child at that time, maybe she was instigated..."
"Three years old decides a lifetime, Miss San has such a nature, don't expect too much from her."
"But… "
"What's the matter? Even the old lady is disappointed in her. What can you and I do? Go to sleep!"
The old lady in the woman's mouth naturally refers to the old lady of the Pan family.
