The next morning, Zhang Yanling waited for Xiaozhu who came to check on her condition. In the yard, he stopped Xiaozhu. Xiaozhu's eyes were a little panicked, and his thin body was carrying a medicine box to avoid Zhang Yanling. Zhang Yanling blocked the second entrance and told her to leave.
Don't take it off.
"Miss Xiaozhu, why are you hiding from me?" Zhang Yanling asked.
Xiaozhu lost his usual aggressiveness and lowered his head and shouted: "Master Zhang, please make way, I have to go back quickly."
Zhang Yanling said: "If you're not busy, I'll ask you a few words and let you go."
Xiaozhu said in a panic: "What are you asking?"
"Why doesn't your lady come? What happened? Why do you ask me to come to see a doctor? You are not a doctor." Zhang Yanling asked in a deep voice.
"My lady has something to do and she can't leave. Besides, Axiu's injury is almost healed. There is no need for my lady to come." Xiaozhu whispered.
"But... your lady is my personal doctor. Axiu's injury is fine. She must come and see my injury." Zhang Yanling said.
"You... you have recovered, why do you want my lady to come and see you? Mr. Zhang, please let me go back. If you keep doing this, I won't come tomorrow." Xiaozhu said.
Zhang Yanling frowned and said: "Tell me the truth, is your lady sick? Or has something happened to her?"
Xiaozhu bowed his hands and said: "Master Zhang, don't ask any more questions. Please let my lady go. Spare us. My lady will not come to see you again. Mr. Hou, please don't embarrass Xiaozhu anymore. Please."
.Miss, she is not sick and everything is fine at home, so please stop making random guesses."
Zhang Yanling's heart felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and he felt a dull pain. When he heard what Xiaozhu said, he felt that it was because Tan Ruqing never wanted to see him again, rather than because something had happened. Realizing this, his
Her heart suddenly became empty, and she became a little lost. It turned out that after all, good dreams were still hard to come true. She liked her, but she didn't like herself. In order to get rid of her entanglement, she chose not to show up again.
Seeing Zhang Yanling in a daze, Xiaozhu took the opportunity to slip away from Zhang Yanling. But Zhang Yanling was so lost that she didn't even notice her anymore.
…
After a thunderstorm in the evening, the weather was cool, with the smell of moist earth and the faint fragrance of flowers and plants in the yard in the air. In the hot summer of Beijing, this was a rare and comfortable night. But because of this thunderstorm
, the various frogs and insects in the flowers and trees outside the window became extremely active, and they screamed one after another, extremely noisy.
At this moment, Zhang Yanling, who was sitting under the lamp and pouring a drink, was in a mood as hard to calm as those frogs.
After getting limited information from Xiaozhu in the morning, Zhang Yanling has been in a state of anxiety. Several times he prepared to leave for Tan's house to find Tan Ruqing to see with his own eyes what happened.
He asked himself what happened, but he still suppressed his thoughts after all.
There are various signs that Tan Ruqing is actively avoiding herself and staying away from herself. If there is no other reason, it is because she does not want to have anything to do with him, and she is just wishful thinking. If this is the case, even if she
I went to see him, but it was just a kind of entanglement. And Zhang Yanling asked herself that she was not the kind of person who would shamelessly pester others. Although she was wearing this skin, she would not pester and harass others like the original Zhang Yanling.
However, Zhang Yanling still felt very regretful in her heart. Ever since she handed a note of love to the girl in the next class when she was sixteen years old and was rejected, Zhang Yanling had not experienced this feeling of loss, disappointment and discomfort for a long time. That was
The feeling of lovelorn. Although this feeling is very precious and worth remembering in the future, Zhang Yanling does not want it to be just a memory. What he likes is the ending of happy flowers and full moon rather than the beauty of regret.
From time to time, Zhang Yanling's mind flashed to Tan Ruqing's elegant and beautiful face and sweet and soft voice. He thought of Tan Ruqing's pair of shining star eyes under the starry lights on the night of the lantern lighting in Xishan. He thought of that evening, side by side.
The charming laughter of Ruqing while walking on the street and the harmonious and heart-pounding feeling at that moment. To Zhang Yanling, all this seemed to be a distant dream.
"Well, nine out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory. How can you force such a thing? If she doesn't mean it, why should I force it." Zhang Yanling sighed and poured a glass of wine into his mouth, feeling that his mouth was full of bitterness and it was difficult to swallow.
"There is no grass anywhere in the world, so why should you fall in love with a flower unrequitedly?" Zhang Yanling poured another glass of wine into his stomach.
"Today you are so indifferent to me, I will make it impossible for you to reach your heights in the future..." Gudong drank another glass.
"But, I'm not willing to accept it."
Zhang Yanling drank one glass after another, until he drank the whole bottle of wine. When he stood up and prepared to go to bed, he felt the alcohol was rising, and he felt dizzy. He flopped down on the table, and that was it.
Fell asleep.
…
Axiu's injury healed quickly. In fact, she got out of bed and walked around the day after the injury. Three days later, she refused to lie in bed again. Myolie and the others advised her to stay in bed, but Axiu said she was lying in bed.
My body hurts and I don't want to lie down every day.
After Axiu Neng went to the ground, she hurried back to Zhaojiazhuang, but was severely stopped by Zhang Yanling. Axiu suffered an injury on her head. Zhang Yanling was experienced and knew that there might be sequelae. She looked fine, but once an attack occurred, she might
It was a big deal. So he asked Axiu to stay in the house for rest and observation for a period of time no matter what. He was not allowed to leave unless he was sure that he was completely healed. After all, Axiu saved himself because of his injuries, so he must
I guarantee that Axiu will go back in good health.
Axiu is a restless person. A daughter born in a poor family cannot live a life of idleness. So she soon started to help Xing'er and the others with their work. Sweeping the floor, watering the flowers, washing clothes and boiling water, these menial tasks were very difficult for Axiu.
It was nothing at all, it was just something that could be easily grasped. Xing'er and Tao'er couldn't persuade them. Moreover, Axiu had a lively and straightforward personality, and she was simple and lovely. She quickly got along with the maids in the back house and made friends.
.
Originally, there were many rules in the back house of the Marquis Mansion, such as not making loud noises, etc., but with the arrival of Axiu, it was soon filled with joyful laughter. Zhang Yanling could often hear sudden noises in the yard.
The whole room burst into laughter, and he knew it must be what Axiu said, which made Xing'er and the others laugh. When he appeared, the maids dispersed like frightened birds.
Zhang Yanling does not dislike this. Although her identity is a Marquis, the Marquis's Mansion also has the rules of the Marquis' Mansion. But Zhang Yanling does not want the family to be lifeless, nor does she want her family to see her or see a ghost.
As if scared. Axiu's arrival made the atmosphere in the whole back house lively and relaxed a lot. I have been in a bad mood these days. With Axiu's loud voice and neat work figures from time to time, there are many people in the back yard.
She was very angry. And Axiu didn't care whether she was a marquis or not. Sometimes she would see the mess on her desk and rush in to clean it up. She didn't care what Zhang Yanling was doing. Naturally, Zhang Yanling couldn't bear to scold her.
She is the daughter of an ordinary family and does not understand the rules of the house. On the other hand, Axiu was injured by a stick for herself. To some extent, it can be regarded as saving her life. She can only be grateful.
Qing, she would still be blamed.
In fact, after a few days, Zhang Yanling had become accustomed to her making a fuss in the back house. Sometimes if she couldn't hear Axiu's voice for a long time, Zhang Yanling would subconsciously look into the yard and ask others. What is Xiu doing? Why is there suddenly no sound?
In short, this feeling is very strange, and it seems to be a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Xiaozhu comes every day, and Zhang Yanling doesn't embarrass her anymore. Since Luohua intends to be ruthless, there is no need to dwell on this matter anymore. Although I feel quite regretful and sad, I can't let this setback make me depressed. I still have many things. There are things to do, and you can't be trapped by love and forget other important things.
However, on the fifth day after Axiu was injured, Xiaozhu took the initiative to find Zhang Yanling. When Zhang Yanling was reading in the main room of the back house, Xiaozhu timidly walked in.
"Xiaozhu has met Mr. Hou." Xiaozhu knelt in front of Zhang Yanling after entering the door.
Zhang Yanling put down the book in surprise and said: "Miss Xiaozhu, why are you here? Get up quickly, what are you doing? Why are you doing this great gift?"
Xiaozhu's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Zhang Yanling said in shock: "What's wrong? Is it because Axiu's injury has been repeated? Where is Axiu?"
Xiaozhu shook his head and said softly: "Miss Axiu's injury has completely healed, and no sequelae have been seen."
Zhang Yanling breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was shocked. What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
Xiaozhu said: "Xiaozhu wants to ask Mr. Hou to forgive me. Xiaozhu did something bad. It hurt my young lady..."
Zhang Yanling stood up and came over: "Your young lady? What happened to Ruqing? Did something happen to her?"
Xiaozhu's tears flowed down and she started to cry.
Zhang Yanling was even more shocked and said loudly: "What happened to your lady? Why are you crying? Tell me quickly."
Xiaozhu stopped crying, sobbed and said: "Master Zhang, don't be anxious, Miss, she is fine..."
Zhang Yanling sat down and frowned: "Why are you gasping for breath when you talk? I thought something bad happened to her. Then what do you mean when you come here and kneel and say forgiveness?"
Xiaozhu hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and recounted what happened in detail. Finally, he cried and said: "Xiaozhu regrets it to death these days. What have I done? How could I betray the young lady and tell me these things? Where is the person? The old lady was very angry that night. The young lady and the old lady had a deep relationship. Naturally, she could not go against the old lady's wishes, so she had no choice but to stop coming to see Mr. Zhang. However, the young lady has also lost weight in the past few days and is in very bad spirits. , I couldn’t sleep all night long. I lost a lot of weight. Seeing the young lady like this, I felt very regretful. Xiaozhu didn’t mean any harm, I just felt that Mr. Zhang was not a good match for my young lady, so I was afraid. I was teasing my young lady, so I told the old lady. But when I saw the young lady like this, I cursed myself to death. What was I doing? I was hurting the young lady. She was so good to me and treated me like a child. Look at my sister, but I...I did such a thing. I really want to slap myself a few times. Woo woo woo."
After listening to her narration, Zhang Yanling looked at Xiaozhu's heartbroken expression with a smile on her face. It turned out that after doing it for a long time, something like this actually happened, which really made people laugh and cry.
