Tears seem to be always ready. Looking at everything familiar, I feel indescribable sadness. The woman came out of the house, holding a bowl of water in her hand and put it on the stone table in the courtyard and said: "Girl, come, have a drink."
Water."
Qi Zi wiped away her tears, walked over and sat down and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, you are so kind."
"Girl, that's a joke. A small family has nothing to entertain." The woman rubbed her hands in embarrassment and said.
Qi Zi took a sip of water, put down the tea bowl, and accidentally saw a little girl hiding behind the door of the house. He found that she was the child who was sitting on the steps eating ice-coated gourd when he first returned to the capital that day.
Qi Zi smiled and waved to her and said, "Come here, little sister."
The little girl still hid behind the door and made no move. Then the woman shouted: "Xiaochu, come out."
She then ran out, but still hid behind the woman and looked at Qi Zi timidly.
The woman smiled and said, "Child, accept your birth."
"How old is she?" Maybe it's because I'm going to be a mother myself, so I can't help but become concerned.
The woman smiled and said, "I am four years old this year."
"You look really cute." Qi Zi couldn't help but praise.
She said that her daughter was well-behaved. As a mother, the woman smiled happily.
Qi Zi turned her head slightly and suddenly found the pot of Phalaenopsis that Li Ran gave her. She didn't expect it to be alive. When she met Xuan Yi at the beginning of the year, she didn't hold it firmly and dropped the whole pot on the ground. She took it home.
I thought it would definitely not survive, but I still stubbornly kept it in the basin. I didn't expect, I really didn't expect, that it would actually live.
The woman looked at Qi Zi looking at the pot of unknown flowers and she shed tears. She called out softly: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Qi Zi shook her head: "I'm fine." She stood up, walked to the flower pot, squatted down, stretched out her hand and stroked it gently. She began to regret coming back here. It was full of memories, painful memories.
"Girl, if you like it, take it away. Anyway, we don't know what kind of flower it is. It's just that it bloomed during the Chinese New Year last year and it's very beautiful."
"What? It's still blooming?" Qi Zi asked in surprise.
"Yes, it has bloomed." The woman responded. She began to feel that the wolfberry was strange and became nervous.
Qi Zi said quietly: "This flower has a very beautiful name, called Phalaenopsis. It was given to me by a good sister of mine before she died. I accidentally broke it before, but I still planted it here after I got it back.
Unexpectedly, it not only survived, but also bloomed."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief and thought: So there is still such an allusion. She said, "Since it belongs to a girl, let the girl take it away."
The woman was very generous, but Qi Zi said: "No, sister-in-law, let it stay here. It is better to stay here than to stay with me."
The woman looked at her in confusion and thought: Why didn't she take it away even though she liked it? What a weirdo.
After bidding farewell to the women and coming out, the setting sun has set and only dusk remains in the horizon.
When I walked to the entrance of the academy, I happened to see Ling Shiqi and Zhao Yunniang going out. Qi Zi walked up and said, "Where are you going?"
"Yunniang said she wanted to go for a walk on the street, and I happened to be fine, so I went with her." Ling Shiqi said with a smile.
Zhao Yunniang took her hand and said, "How about this? You can come with us."
"This..." Qi Zi hesitated.
Zhao Yunniang said: "Go ahead, I'll be back soon anyway. You haven't looked around since you've been back for so long."
"But..." Before the Qizi was finished, Zhao Yunniang had already taken it on the road.
The three of them walked on foot and gradually entered the bustling street. Zhao Yunniang pulled Ling Shiqi to point here and look there. Qi Zi followed quietly, suddenly feeling that he was superfluous and that he really shouldn't come out.
I haven't been on this street for a long time, but I still clearly remember in my mind that a few streets away is the main entrance of the palace. Qi Zi endured the heartache and turned away, looking at the other dazzling shops.
Zhao Yunniang walked to a jewelry stall, picked up a pair of earrings, and said to Ling Shiqi: "Cousin, do you think this is suitable for Lizhen?"
Ling Shiqi took it and nodded and said: "I think she will like it, so just buy it."
Qi Zi looked at the loving couple behind him and felt extremely comforted. Fortunately, he had such a person beside him.
An exquisite official sedan gradually approached from far away. The person in the sedan stroked his beard with his hand, opened the curtain of the sedan inadvertently, and looked at the bustling street for a while. When he was about to lower the curtain of the sedan, he noticed
He saw a figure from behind that surprised him. He quickly ordered the sedan to stop behind her.
Qi Zi didn't notice anyone behind him staring at him with dumbfounded eyes. He only heard someone calling: "Qi Zi, is that you?"
When Qi Zi heard it, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. The voice that she could no longer remember suddenly appeared in her ears. She turned slightly and thought of her mother. There was a hint of indifference or indifference in her eyes.
Qi Zi did not speak, but Liang Sizhong seemed a little excited. He stepped forward and grabbed her hand, wanting to convey some belated fatherly love to her, and wanted to tell her that as a father, he was equally nervous about her.
Qi Zi instinctively took a step back. These actions that Liang Sizhong thought were fatherly love were not the case when Ling Shiqi saw it. He thought that the old man in front of him wanted to be rude to Qi Zi, so he immediately flashed in front of her and said: "This gentleman, on the street
Above all, please be more respectful."
Liang Sizhong lowered his face and said rudely: "Get out of the way, there is no place for you to talk here."
Qi Zi never spoke. Ling Shiqi said: "In the capital, under the emperor's feet, you, an old man, bully other people's young girls. What's the point? Even if you are in the court, you can't be so indulgent."
"You..." Liang Sizhong was so angry that he didn't want to talk to him, so he said to Qi Zi: "Come back with me."
His voice was approaching, and Qi Zi couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted. She thought of the letter Yang wrote to her before her death. No matter how much Liang Sizhong failed to fulfill his father's responsibilities, blood is thicker than water after all. She walked up to Ling Shiqi and said: "Ling
Brother."
"Qi Zi, don't be afraid, I won't dare to do anything to you even if I try him?" Ling Shiqi said righteously.
"Yes, Qi Zi, don't be afraid." Zhao Yunniang stepped forward and said.
Qi Zi shook his head helplessly, walked straight to Liang Sizhong, looked at the man he hated from the bottom of his heart and said to them: "Brother Ling, Yun Niang, this is my father." Qi Zi introduced with some reluctance.
.
Ling Shiqi and Zhao Yunniang were stunned for a moment, then said politely: "It turns out to be uncle. Shiqi just offended me. Please forgive me."
"This is my friend, Mr. Ling Shiqi and his wife Zhao Yunniang." Qi Zi said without looking at Liang Sizhong.
Zhao Yunniang stepped forward and said politely: "Uncle, I offended you just now, please forgive me."
