Next to the rocks in the south of the inner courtyard of Lingxiu Garden, there is a row of low white railings surrounding the winding creek. Night birds will fall under the white railings.
Xiaojing ran to pick it up. There was a simple bamboo tube tied to the bird's leg. Xiaojing took it off and locked the bird in a cage in the courtyard.
The lights in the room were always on, and Zhang Junyun sat down behind the desk. The note was a long one, and the handwriting on it was much neater and cleaner than before.
"This word is quite handsome." Zhang Yunyun said.
When Xiao Jing heard this, she looked over curiously.
"It's quite beautiful." Xiaojing whispered.
"get out."
Xiaojing bowed her head and left the study.
Zhang Junyun read it quickly and finally signed the title, Quan Jiuwei.
This is a new name, I have never heard of it before.
"Madam," Xiaojing's voice whispered outside, "it seems that the front hall has been dispersed."
"So soon..." Zhang Yunyun whispered, then raised his voice, "I know, I won't go for now."
She read the long scroll of paper again, made sure she remembered everything, burned it with fire, and then wrote a reply.
The students left Zhang's Mansion. When they came out, everyone looked depressed.
Zhang Caiyun frowned, and others called him, but as if he didn't hear them, he hurried away.
"Look at this donkey, he's so aggressive again," one person said.
"Forget it, let him do it," another person said.
Some people rode in sedans and others in horse-drawn carriages. Zhang Caiyun was the only one who had a breeze in his sleeves and no rice in his home.
It takes at least two-quarters of an hour to walk back to his house from Zhang's house. Due to the early curfew, there is no one on the street at the moment. Along the way, the long street is empty, except for the lampposts and the long sparks, which reach the end of the road.
.
Zhang Caiyun's frown suddenly relaxed. However, it was time to enjoy the quiet and vast moment, when he saw the notices posted in front of several shops along the road.
He looked at them one by one. Either this house had no sugar, or that house had no cloth.
Finally, he stopped in front of a book shop that he had visited several times. This shop also had a notice posted on it.
Zhang Caiyun looked quickly and said angrily: "This is unreasonable. Mingtai County is not dedicated to the Four Treasures of the Study. Why are you here to join in the fun?"
He raised his head and formally looked at the shop's sign, Hengyuan Study Room.
Then, he stepped forward and knocked on the door hard.
Xia Zhaoyi was still asleep when she heard a faint knock on the door and walked out of the house wearing clothes.
Just when he came out of the yard, he met Zhao Shan who had also put on some clothes and came out. As soon as he saw Xia Zhaoyi, Zhao Shan said hurriedly: "My boss, I'll go and see him."
"No need," Xia Zhaoyi said, "The knock on the door was very urgent, as if someone was looking for trouble. I'll go."
"How can any boss deal with this personally?"
Xia Zhaoyi's lips curled up slightly: "It doesn't matter."
"Come out!" Zhang Caiyun slapped loudly outside, "If you don't come out, I'll go to your backyard and knock!"
Most of the shops in Xizhou Mansion have removable panel doors, while the shops in Hengyuan Wenfang have five doors that can be opened and closed respectively.
Zhang Caiyun slapped her hard again: "Open the door for me!"
After he finished speaking, he finally heard the sound of the door bolt coming from inside the door. Zhang Caiyun angrily waved his sleeves and prepared to attack the enemy.
There was a soft "squeak" sound, and the door opened. Zhang Caiyun stretched out his hand to point, but halfway there, he froze.
The girl raised her eyes and saw a pair of clear and bright eyes that were as dazzling as the stars. She had a palm-sized face and plump and pure skin that could be broken by a blow. The bright light of the lantern on the lamppost on the street fell on her face, as if it was covered with blood.
A layer of gentle and clear light.
Zhang Caiyun suddenly felt short of breath and stiffened for a moment. He said softly: "Who are you?"
Xia Zhaoyi looked at him. He was about twenty-seven or eighty years old. He was wearing a clean green shirt. Although he looked old, he was very neat. Seeing that he had a more elegant temperament, Xia Zhaoyi said, "Are you a gentleman?"
"Well, forget it," Zhang Caiyun felt uncomfortable, "Who is the girl?"
"You stayed up in the middle of the night, came to my place, knocked on my door, and then asked me who I was?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
Zhang Caiyun thought about the business, stepped back, and pointed to the notice posted on the door: "There is an incident in Mingtai County. It's just a lack of sugar. Why do you guys who sell the four treasures of the study join in the fun? Isn't it enough to panic?"
Xia Zhaoyi took a look and said, "Look carefully at the notice. Can you tell me why there is not enough paper?"
Zhang Caiyun read back the notice.
"It didn't say it was related to Mingtai County, so why are you scolding me for nothing?" Xia Zhaoyi asked again.
"That, that's..."
"It's just sold out and the new ones haven't arrived yet."
Zhang Caiyun felt deeply embarrassed and quickly took a step back, raising her hands and bowing: "Miss, I didn't mean to do this...I, yes, I am really worried about the country and the people, and worried about the chaos in the world."
The words "care for the country and the people" made Xia Zhaoyi chuckle. She pursed her lips and faded the smile: "It doesn't matter. If nothing happens, sir, will you come back?"
Zhang Caiyun was sure that he had read it correctly. The smile on the girl's face just now was sarcastic and a little cold, but in a flash, her eyes were still full of lightness and ease.
Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand to close the door.
"Wait a minute!" Zhang Caiyun said hurriedly, "Girl, may I ask...what's your surname?"
"Zhao." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"Okay," Zhang Caiyun cupped his hand again, "It's not me who bothered the girl. I will come to apologize to you someday."
"No need." After Xia Zhaoyi finished speaking, he raised his hand and closed the door.
There were no lights in the house, and once the door was closed, only the dim light from the window was left.
Zhang Caiyun was outside listening to the movement inside. There was no light or footsteps. This girl walked so lightly.
Qingmei is charming, her conversation is generous, and even her steps are agile and silent. Zhang Caiyun swallowed and suddenly felt that her heartbeat was so fast.
He raised his head and looked at the plaque above again.
"Hengyuan Study Room." Zhang Caiyun said in a low voice.
What a graceful, graceful and youthful girl Zhao.
Early the next morning, Zhili came out of Ruidong Pavilion early and planned to go to Guangfang River to find Shen Lie.
There is a winding stream in the backyard, with drooping green leaves and beautiful flowers. The stream passes through a small pavilion. Under the steps of the pavilion, servants often sit and chat.
There is one today too.
Zhili heard them talking about things outside from a distance. When he heard the word Taochunlou, Zhili stopped and listened, fearing that they would stop talking after they passed.
"The young master spent generously and responded to every request. The whole hall was well fed."
"But I heard that Taochunlou thinks he is shabby."
"I don't think it's disgusting. Isn't it because there's not enough flour?"
"I just dislike it. If dignitaries come looking for me, how dare Taochunlou respond?"
"How dare you. Do you know who the big boss behind Taochun Tower is?"
"Who is it?"
"Yes, tell me quickly who it is."
"It's Zhang Xunzhi!" The speaker lowered his voice, "His father is the Zhang Puxiang who lives by the Yuyu Stone Bridge. It turns out he is the Minister of Rites! It was he who got the name and inscription of the Yuyu Stone Bridge!"
"It turns out to be from the Zhang family! Such a big background!"
"And do you know, the official position of the Minister of Rites is quite strange."
