Chapter 219 Solution

The courtyard is sunny, and the roses all over the wall are emitting a faint fragrance in the wind. Even though there are magnolia trees outside the window to block the light, there are still wisps of sunlight passing through the wide and dark leaves of the magnolia trees, shining through the house. Come here.

If it was in the past, Li Sanniang would definitely like such a scene.

At that time, she was just like the bright sun outside the window.

Moreover, such a beautiful courtyard is not found in the barren land in the northwest.

Since she was a child, she longed to go outside and see the big world and all the novel things.

But now, when she really came out, looking back on this journey, she only wished that she was the same Li Sanniang who rode on a bay red horse with high spirits and felt that she was the happiest girl in the world.

The pink gauze curtains fluttered slowly in the wind, and the room was cleaned up very cleanly, like a girl's boudoir, but she just felt like an old woman in her twilight years, her heart was gloomy, even if she saw this The sunshine in June does not see a bright future.

Hearing the clear voice outside, Li Sanniang was startled.

Ah Zhao?

I heard the servant girl guarding the porch outside say: "I have seen the princess, and the third lady is resting in the room. Is this servant leading the princess in?"

The maid raised the primrose-colored gauze door curtain as she spoke: "The princess has not been in the village for a long time, and the maidservant is very concerned about it. Now the maidservant has been transferred to this Xiangxiang residence to take care of Mrs. Li San. "

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble, how is Sanniang? You take good care of Sanniang and sister. When you get married later, I will make up for you."

The maid laughed softly, with a little shyness in her voice, but she replied generously: "The princess is making fun of the slave again. Please come in quickly." As she spoke, she had already entered the outer room, and passed through again. The screen entered Sanniang's bedroom, and gently blessed Li Sanniang who was lying on the bed, and said softly, "Sanniang, the princess is here to see you."

As he spoke, he stepped forward to lift the curtain, hung it on both sides with silver hooks, helped Li Sanniang up, and said in a gentle voice, "Sanniang is thirsty? This servant will fetch two bowls of white fungus, red dates and snow sugar soup. The doctor said that Sanniang is good to drink this. You and the princess talk for a while, and the slaves will come as soon as they go."

Qin Zhao also entered the house with the maid at this time, and heard Li Sanniang say: "A Guo, you can go."

The maid named A Guo just saluted Qin Zhao and left the room.

The room was cool and quiet, Qin Zhao looked at Li Sanniang who was half leaning on the bed, and couldn't help feeling sour.

The San Niangzi in the past was so dazzling, like a round of bright sun in the sky, but the San Niangzi today, although still like a tender flower in spring, has lost its color.His eyes had long since lost the brilliance they used to have, and looked gloomy. Fortunately, although his face was still pale, it was more polished than when he was in Xinchangfang.

"Sister Sanniang, I'm here to see you." Qin Zhao stepped forward and sat down on the edge of the bed, "I wanted to come and see you earlier, but I can't get away in Beijing, so I finally have some free time now. I heard from Bajie that you are already in good health, but you have suffered a lot along the way and you need to rest for two months. I am relieved after hearing this. Is it okay to live here? If you are not used to anything, Just to say, Ah Guo is an excellent girl. When I used to live in the farm, she helped me with all the trivial matters. She is very careful. If you have anything, just ask her to do it. I have. I, "

Li Sanniang smiled, saw Qin Zhao, finally got some light in his eyes, and interrupted Qin Zhao: "I'm fine, don't worry. Bajie said you are busy, I am very happy to see me. I am in good health now, but the weather is extremely hot and I am lazy to move. You are also, if you come back to see me on such a hot day, what if you suffer from heat stroke?"

After hearing this, Qin Zhao became more and more sad.

People always grow.And the growth of a person is always accompanied by giving up and giving up.How could the former Sanniang say such polite and caring words? If the former Sanniang met her, she would only say: "Azhao, you heartless girl, I have been here for so long, why did you come to see me?" Me, I will punish you to make a painting, or I will not spare you."

San Niang is such a bright girl, sincere, kind, straightforward and lovely, but now. .

She really shouldn't be like this.

Qin Zhao would like everyone around him to be happy, but how can he live in the world without experiencing a little bit of wind and rain in his life?
"I'm in good health. Besides, I set off early in the morning, and it's only an hour's journey here. How can it be hot? But you, you have nothing to do, why don't you go crazy in the yard? Although this is on the farm , but Grandpa Luo is used to enjoying himself. This yard is very well built, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is cooler than other places. Later, Ah Guo will bring white fungus soup. Let's drink it. I will lead you there later. Walking around in the garden? Because the back garden is surrounded by mountains, there is a gazebo on the mountainside, and there is a small waterfall behind it, which is far away. Let's spend half a day, okay?"

Li Sanniang smiled and said, "Okay."

From time to time, Guo Guo brought two bowls of warm soup. Qin Zhao and Li Sanniang ate together, and rinsed their mouths with tea. Ah Guo asked people to remove the bowls, because they heard that Qin Zhao led Li Sanniang to the Banshan Pavilion again. , very happy: "That's good, the servant girl usually persuades the third lady to go out for a walk."

While talking, she picked out a moon-colored dress and helped Li Sanniang put it on, and covered it with a primrose-colored gauze shirt, with a few silver plum blossoms showing here and there on the hem of the gauze shirt. , looming, extremely beautiful.

Qin Zhao looked at it and praised: "Sister Sanniang used to like to wear bright red like Ah Zhao. She is very heroic. She is really like a young man with a jade face. Now this gauze skirt is worn on Sanniang sister. It's a bit weak, I really feel pity for it. It's so bad that I want to wear it."

A Guo at the side heard this, and showed some pride: "I specially cut this for the third lady. If the princess likes it, I can just turn my slave and maid to the princess."

Qin Zhao joked: "It can be seen that you are also partial, Aguo. I have never seen you do it for me before? Now I'm talking about it, but I don't accept your favor."

A Guo only pursed his lips and smiled.

When Qin Zhao lived in this manor, even though she was in charge of the yard, Qin Zhao had her own maid to serve her. She was just in charge of the yard, so why would she run to Qin Zhao to make trouble?But San Niangzi is different. She came to the farm alone, and the Duke personally confessed that she would serve her well. He went to the Duke's mansion, and he thought he was an ominous person, and he refused to live in the Duke's mansion, so he was sent to the farm, but Ah Guo was not stupid, and didn't believe this statement. Since he was a distant relative, how could he not live in the Duke's mansion? The truth of the government?When she was sent to the manor, she was alone, and the personal guard of the old Duke personally sent it. If it was an ordinary person, she would not use the personal guard of the Duke. If she had a noble status, it is impossible for her to be single Live in Zhuangzi.

The people in the village were a little puzzled, but since the old Duke's mansion personally confessed that they should not be neglected, no one in the village dared to say anything. The third lady was originally ill and lived in a remote place, so she refused. After taking a step out of the small courtyard, gradually everyone in the village forgot about her except for those who served in Lingxiang Residence.A Guoben is the most outstanding maid in the farm. With her serving here, the people in the village dare not belittle Lingxiangju. It is also good to provide for her.A Guo felt very sorry for this weak but silent little lady.Such a good girl, if there were no accidents at home, how could she live alone in this farm?
After Li Sanniang finished packing, Qin Zhao didn't let Ah Guo and other maids follow, and helped Li Sanniang go to the back garden alone, along the stone path, to the Banri Pavilion.

Some distance away from the foot of the mountain, Li Sanniang said: "You know everything, right?"

Qin Zhao nodded: "Bajie told me everything."

Li Sanniang smiled: "Thank you."

Bajie told her everything she said in her dream when he sent her to Luo's farm.Only then did she realize that Bajie had known the big secret that day that she worked so hard to hide, but he didn't abandon her because she was a troublesome person who might cause a fatal disaster. Instead, he worked hard and found a way To save her life, he brought her all the way to the capital, and now he was ordered to be sent to the Luo family's farm by Luo Laoguo, the most famous God of War in the Kingdom of David. This must be A Zhao's request.She thought that she was bound to die, but after going through so much, she finally survived.And you don't have to worry anymore, you don't know at any moment, you will die and hurt others.

Sometimes she would also think that if she ran away, the Li family must have offended the Murong family steward severely, and might bring disaster to the family, but when she thought of her father and elder brother who she thought loved her, To marry her to a person she doesn't want for the sake of profit, without any pity for her, she doesn't want to think about such a family, such a father and brother.There is even hatred in my heart.

The family is like this, but there are people like Zhu Balang and Azhao, who don't care about the consequences, don't ask for anything in return, and help her survive.

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "Sister, you don't have to thank me, we are good friends, not to mention that these things are just a matter of little effort to me. Speaking of which, I should thank my sister. The things my sister said are also life-related matters in our family. Fortunately, there are precautions now, so there will be no major disasters. My sister will live here with peace of mind in the future, and when the matter is over, I will pick her up to the city. When I go back to Chang'an City, I always miss the past My friend in Ping An Town, now I am lucky to have my sister as my companion. Speaking of it, it is also the fate between my sister and me, how could I have dared to meet my sister here before?"

Li Sanniang sighed for a long time, as if the pent-up in her chest disappeared a lot with this sigh, the smile on her face became more genuine: "I heard from Bajie that you are now the princess personally appointed by His Majesty. Unexpectedly, I used to make friends with a noble princess for many years. In fact, you are not like an ordinary country girl."

The two looked at each other and smiled as they recalled the old days.

Although the pavilion was close for half a day, Li Sanniang had not worked for a long time and was recovering from a serious illness. When she arrived in the pavilion, she was out of breath. Qin Zhao helped her sit down, asked her about her daily life, and talked about Bajie and others. Renlai: "Sister, you don't have to be too homesick. It is estimated that Bajie will take the caravan back to the northwest at the beginning of next month. Let him go and find out the situation in Lijiazhuang in person."

"I don't want to go home. I don't want to go out with such a family." Li Sanniang shook her head, and then asked Qin Zhao, "Zhu Balang will leave Chang'an in July?"

Looking at her, Qin Zhao seemed a little reluctant and worried, so he smiled and said, "Yes, if you leave Beijing in July, if you make it fast, you will be able to return to Anxi in September. I'm going to visit the small countries in the Western Regions. If it's fast, I might be able to catch up with Chang'an next spring. They also opened a shop in Chang'an City. Ah Shu is in charge of the dried meat business, and there is another shop that runs the Western Regions. For the goods, they don’t plan to buy goods from other places. They have formed a caravan to sell the goods. The profit is higher. I think it’s also feasible. It just so happens that Ah Tie also opened a shop in Anxi, and he always buys goods from merchants. When Hu merchants entered the border of David, they would always give their goods to Ah Tie. Although the merchants who sold to David in the past were profitable, they were not as profitable as selling themselves. Besides, Bajie has also experienced it, so he can stand alone. With Ah Tie, there is no need for him, it is better to let him be in charge of the caravan."

"But traveling from south to north is hard work and dangerous, so the seventh uncle of the Zhu family isn't worried?" Li Sanniang asked worriedly.

Qin Zhao looked at her and smiled wickedly. Li Sanniang blushed while laughing instead. Qin Zhao said, "Let's not talk about foster father. As a younger sister, I am very worried, but a man should be How can someone who raises a family and makes a career do nothing because of a little risk? Sister Sanniang, don’t worry about Ba Jie, he is not the only one in the caravan. I have a cousin who is almost invincible in martial arts. There's no danger for him to follow. It's just hard work. In fact, I envy them that they can go around."

Li Sanniang was relieved after hearing this, as long as people are fine.

He also asked how Qin Zhao became the daughter of the royal family. Although Ba Jie had mentioned it before, but she was sick and full of worries at that time, how could she pay attention to it?

Qin Zhao had his own way of saying that he grew up in Youzhou, but Li Sanniang knew her, so she smiled and said, "When I was young, when I went to the temple with my mother to offer incense, I encountered bandits, and all the guards at home were killed by bandits. Mother took my elder brother and me to hide, but got on the carriage halfway and overturned into the cliff. Because of this, my mother died, and my elder brother also lost his memory because of a head injury. It was picked up by the Yun family's father and mother. At that time, my mother and father just returned to their hometown to settle down. No one around knew that I was picked up, so they only said that I was their own daughter. At that time, I was still young and didn't remember anything, and I only thought that I was the daughter of my parents. Until later, my brother remembered the past. At that time, he had already become the military governor of Beiting by himself. After recovering his memory, he began to look for me everywhere, and he finally found me. He just needed to go back to Chang'an to report on his work, so he picked me up and took me back to Chang'an. Don't say you don't believe it, I didn't believe it at the beginning."

Li Sanniang sighed: "This is really like what was sung in that play. You are also lucky. Although you have suffered some hardships in the past, Uncle and Aunt Yun's family treated you really well, and they love you more than your own parents." Yours, so, you are truly blessed and blessed by heaven."

Qin Zhao didn't tell the truth, there were some things that he couldn't say now, so he smiled and said, "Where are you so lucky? But my father and mother treat me really well. I only hope that one day, I can take them here , a family reunion. It’s a pity that I’m still young, and I can’t be the master. Now that I’m in such a position, I’m not willing to take my father, mother, and younger siblings here, and live in the face of others.”

Li Sanniang thought about it for a while, and then she understood.

Uncle and aunt of the Yun family are in Zhujiazhuang, and now they are also a wealthy gentry, living their own life. If they come to Chang'an, Azhao's family will be the most honorable side-by-side palace among King David's princes. The family is more noble. Uncle Yun and Auntie are just ordinary people. When they come to the palace, even if they are kind to Qin Zhao, few people will take them seriously.When the time comes, how will the Yun family's uncles and aunts deal with themselves, and how will Ah Zhao deal with themselves?What's more, Azhao is not the daughter of King Side by Side and His Royal Highness Princess Jinyang, but the girl of the second room, which is another layer away.Instead of coming to the palace to see people's faces, how can I live in Zhujiazhuang?

Qin Zhao didn't want to talk about his own affairs, so he asked Li Sanniang: "My father and stepmother have returned to the capital, so I rarely go out this time. I finally found an excuse a few days ago and went to my food town. Zhuangzi, this is the only way to come to see you, even with Bajie and the others, we haven’t seen each other for quite a while, has he come to see you in Zhuangzi recently?”

Li Sanniang shook her head: "I can't see the light now. In order to avoid trouble, before coming to Zhuangzi, Balang said that he would not come to see me in the near future. You also said that he will return to the northwest in July. I am afraid that if you see him again, you will not see me again." It's going to be another year or two."

As he spoke, his tone was already somewhat melancholy.

Qin Zhao thought for a while, then said, "Do you want to see Bajie? I have a way to get him over."

As soon as these words fell into Li Sanniang's ears, Li Sanniang blushed instantly, stomped her feet, and said angrily, "What are you talking about? What do you want to see? Me,,"

I spent a long time, but nothing came out of me.

Qin Zhao laughed out loud, and the birds in the mountains flew far away in shock, echoing countless times.

"What are you talking about? Tell the truth, young Mu Shaoai, what are you embarrassed about? Besides, you and Bajie have gone through hardships together. I see that Bage really likes you. I have been with him since we were young. Best of all, I've never seen him treat me so attentively, if he says he doesn't like you, I won't believe it, I just don't know what you think?"

Speaking of these, Li Sanniang felt sad for a while.

How can she be worthy of a clean and kind man like Zhu Jiabalang now?
She is married.How dare you think about it?

"Azhao, don't say this again in the future. How can I be worthy of Balang? I'm already a married woman, and now I just want to have a place to live. I'm satisfied with the rest of my life."
