Ah Chang

Chapter 68

Qi Yun could have done more, if it wasn't for You Feng's sudden report.

Qi Yan came back, but did not return to the pavilion, and hid in the bamboo forest alone, constantly thinking about the conversation between Feng Qulai and Qi Yinchuan.

Although Qi Yan is impatient, she is not stupid. After several times of thinking, she has concluded that she has some kind of grievance with Jianshui Pavilion, and at the other end of that grievance is another person involved, which is her father. , Qi Jinnan, the owner of Qijian Villa at the time.

"What did that person mean when he said the shitty things back then..."

"And the poison that was found in my father's study..."

Just as Qi Yan had some ideas, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he had come to an open space deep in the bamboo forest without knowing it. The moonlight poured from above, without any shelter, surrounded by dense bamboos, like a cave hidden in the mountains. .

As natural as it was man-made, Qi Yan leaned over to pick up a bamboo leaf, and when she got up again, she saw You Feng standing under the moon, with his blue shirt still and his face like the moon.

"Are you all right?"

Qi Yan threw away the bamboo leaves in her hands and happily ran to You Feng's side, You Feng nodded slightly, but she still looked around You Feng carefully with some disbelief.

"It seems to be all right."

After confirming that the person seemed to be fine, Qi Yan gathered up the hair that had been blown away by the wind, and when they looked at You Feng again, both of them averted their eyes in unison. After a short silence, it was still Qi Yan who spoke first. : "You are so late, what are you doing here?"

"I'll take you back."

You Feng didn't say the rest of the sentence "Qi Yun's order", which made Qi Yan's heart beat a little faster.

The matter of Jiangxin Xiaozhu that night has been lingering in Qi Yan's mind for the past few days, and whenever he stops for a while, he will think of the scene of him riding on Youfeng and taking off his clothes, so that Qi Yan dare not meet again. To meet Youfeng's eyes, he had no choice but to turn around and ask Youfeng if he felt uncomfortable.

"Such as dizziness, headache, blurred memory?"

"no."

You Feng's categorical answer made Qi Yan even more ashamed, so he had to change the topic and ask, "What kind of place is this, why is this place so empty?"

You Feng turned her eyes to the open space in front of her, with respect in her eyes, she said that Qi Yun's mother was buried here.

The completely unexpected answer made Qi Yan unavoidably surprised, and when he looked at the open space shrouded in moonlight, he had a different mood.

About Qi Yun's mother, Qi Yan knew very little, and only heard Qi Jinnan mention it in his vague childhood memory, saying that she was a witch.

The demon girl who confuses the world is an existence that Qi Jianshanzhuang will never admit, but Qi Yun's father did not marry for her until his death.

Everyone else said that, but every time Qi Yan saw Qi Yun, she would think, for such a perfect Qi Yun, her mother would not be just like those rumors.

"What kind of person is she, Qi Yun's mother..."

----

A Chang's small embroidery business is getting better and better, and she has gradually become famous in the town. Taohua feels good when she is with her, but she feels bored after staying for a long time. Wandering around, it's not that as soon as Ah Chang was free, when he looked at the peach blossoms, the restless person disappeared again, got up to look for it, and heard arguing from an embroidery shop not far away.

"Let go of me! I didn't do that!"

As soon as A Chang came to the store, she saw Tao Hua was being grabbed by two clerks from left to right, saying that she had trampled on the treasure of the store. It rose to the tip of the nose, and the eyes were red: "Sister A Chang, they bullied me!"

"Sister Peach Blossom!" Seeing this, Ah Shang hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her, "There must be some misunderstanding between the two of you, can you let me go first?"

The two guys obviously didn't listen to this, and they still kept their eyes sideways and said: "Hmph! What a misunderstanding! The two of us saw her stepping down this painting with our own eyes! Let it go? What if we let her go and run away?" ?!"

"I didn't! You lied! Sister A-Shang, I never got close to that painting!" Taohua couldn't stand being slandered, and she struggled even harder. Seeing her slender wrist turn red from being scratched by a buddy, A-Shang hurriedly pulled it out. Out of the money bag: "I have money here, how much money I will pay to you two!"

One of the clerks glanced at the bulging purse and was a little tempted, while the other clerk snatched the purse with one hand and pulled Taohua behind him with the other hand: "How can such a small amount of money be enough? Good tribute embroidery thread! You go back to get the money now, if you don’t get enough, sell this little girl to pay off the debt!”

The man was obviously trying to make things difficult on purpose, Taohua took advantage of his mouth to bite him, but as soon as he ran to Ah Chang's side, they were both caught again.

"Snapped!"

A resounding slap came, A Chang blocked Tao Hua, this slap was urgent and hard, even the clerk himself was a little scared when it fell, A Chang's cheeks turned red soon, that hot The pain did not make her shy.

"I will definitely find a way to make up for the money, and please give me a little time."

A Chang guarded Taohua tightly behind her, with tears in her eyes, but she still spoke earnestly. Taohua started to cry when she watched behind her, and pointed at the two of them and scolded: "You guys are so brave. Dare to beat my sister A Shang! I will tell the pavilion master when I go back, the pavilion master..."

"Okay, Peach Blossom."

Taohua's threat was stopped by Ah Chang's soft voice, she didn't want to involve Qi Yun, the two staff saw that Ah Chang's attitude was so determined and persistent, they couldn't make another attack for a while, they only stayed for three days, and let him go. The two left.

----

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault!" Taohua looked at A-Shang's already red and swollen cheeks with tears in her eyes, and blamed herself and was angry: "I, I just said that their treasures are not as good as Sister A Chang embroidered well, and they designed to frame me! I really didn’t even touch that thing! Sister A Chang, I’d better ask Ke Li to take a look for you!”

"Okay." A Chang pulled Taohua back, and comforted him gently, "Don't bother with such a trivial matter, and I also believe what Sister Taohua says."

"But your face!"

"It's okay, it will be fine tomorrow."

"Really?"

Before Ah Chang could answer, there was a knock on the door, and Tao Hua hurriedly went to open the door. Qi Yun's arrival made Ah Chang somewhat unexpected.

"Lord!"

When Taohua saw Qi Yun's stomach full of grievances coming again, Qi Yun only patted her head, which was ready to complain, and said, "I see, you go to rest."

"..."

There was a brief silence in the room where only the two of them were left, and Ah Chang saluted Qi Yun half a moment later, just to find an angle that could hide the redness and swelling on her cheeks.

It's not deliberately concealing it, but I don't want Qi Yun to see the embarrassment at the moment, but there is nothing to hide from the eyes of the pavilion master. However, the redness and swelling on that cheek was clearly visible, and A-Shang dodged her eyes in a panic, but she didn't see the cold light that flashed in Qi Yun's eyes.

"It won't be better tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, Qi Yun didn't ask what happened, but only said that if he didn't take some medicine, the swelling would only get worse tomorrow. A Chang hung his head and didn't know how to answer, so Qi Yun pulled her to sit by the window.

She sat beside her, just blocking the moonlight. A Chang gained a momentary sense of security under Qi Yun's shadow, but she still deliberately avoided the injured half of her face, and there was a sudden warmth in her ears. She fastened her loose hair, and as soon as the gentle fingertips left, blush climbed to the tip of Ah Chang's ear.

"You've been going to town these days."

A Chang thought that Qi Yun was going to blame her for going out frequently, but the man only smiled lightly: "Did you encounter any interesting things?"

"I..." This unexpected question stopped A-Shang, but perhaps because the moonlight was so gentle tonight, A-Shang blinked her drooping eyelashes and said in a low voice: "Yes. "

"The young master said that his wife likes embroidery gadgets very much. Whenever she meets me, she will buy one. He said that his wife is alone at home during the day, and she always feels owed. Seeing that she received When you look happy with what you like, you are also very happy.”

"There is also an uncle who ordered a set of animal purses from me, saying that he would teach his grandson how to recognize things when he went back home, and later he brought his grandson here. The little guy babbled happily when he saw those little animals. Yeah, you can't stop talking, it's so cute."

"and also……"

As Chang said, Ben's drooping head had already lifted up, and the stars were reflected in her eyes, full of dazzling joy. When she talked about forgetting her feelings, she felt a heat on her cheeks, not because of the pain, but because of the gentle gaze of the people around her. look.

Qi Yun was by the side without interrupting, just silently listening to A Chang's recounting those interesting things, until the happy person stopped by himself, she gently stroked her and said, "Why don't you talk?"

"I talk too much."

"You can say more."

Qi Yun got up and looked at the bright moon on the high platform outside the window. She said that A Chang still had a whole night to talk with her, and if she could, she would be willing to be her guest every night in the future.

A Shang sat in the same place, the moonlight illuminated her again, Qi Yun retreated into the shadows, let the light, wind and moon at this moment belong only to A Shang, A Shang stared at the moon obsessively, she also had her own little dream, borrowed With the stars embroidered into the night.

"and also……"

Haoyue had the same window, and A Chang fell asleep leaning on Qi Yun's shoulder while talking, and vaguely heard someone praise her for being brave, and hoped that she would be braver in the future.
