Chapter 259 Visiting Literally (6)
Unaware that he was being sympathized by a ten-year-old boy, Zhao Qi followed the boy into the hall of Zhu's house familiarly.

"Young Master Qi, Young Master Lin, please sit down for a while, and I will inform Madam right away." The boy settled the two of them, served them tea, and then turned to go to the backyard.

Zhao Qi raised his eyes and looked around.The furnishings in the hall are the same as they were a few months ago, but perhaps because of the lack of popularity, the room looks a bit depressed and empty everywhere.His face remained unchanged, he took a sip of tea, and said softly: "It seems that the person he entrusted has not returned yet."

"The road from Fengle County to Fucheng is so far away, with so many side roads, who knows where she will go. Every place has to be carefully searched, and naturally it will take a lot of time." Zhao Lin sneered, looking down at his hand intently I don't drink the tea.

Zhao Qi chuckled, "These days of waiting for the news, I'm afraid they will have a hard time." While being angry, she was also worried about the safety of her only daughter, hmph, I just don't know if the two of them have considered that if Zhu Chunniang succeeds, his Situation?
Eyelids lowered to hide the sarcasm in his eyes.Zhao Qi lowered his head and drank his tea slowly.

After a while, slightly heavy footsteps sounded outside.Zhao Qi raised his head, put down the teacup, exchanged a glance with Zhao Lin, then stood up and took two steps towards the door, cupped his hands and said, "Ruizhi has seen Master's wife and heard that Master is sick, but what's the matter?"

Madam Zhu became thinner and emaciated a lot. She glanced at the respectful young man in front of her, and the displeasure and complexity in her eyes disappeared in a flash.Then he came back to his senses, smiled, and said slowly: "You don't need to be too polite. Come in and sit down. Your master's illness is not serious, and he will recover after a few days of recuperation. It's just that he has already fallen asleep at this time, and it's rare for him to be at peace. I can't bear to wake him up. Don't be offended, you brothers."

"My wife is overwhelmed, Master's health is important. Ruizhi and his second brother have been away from home for several months, and they came here today just to visit Master. How can this disturb the safety of Master." Zhao Qi followed Mrs. Zhu into the house again. Seeing her sitting on the main seat, she turned around and gave Zhao Lin a wink.

Zhao Lin brought the gift to Mrs. Zhu knowingly, lowered his eyes and said: "These are some small things that my eldest brother and I picked up in Fucheng, don't be disgusted, mistress."

Mrs. Zhu glanced at the things lightly, and let the little maid beside her take it.Hehe laughed twice and said: "Look at what Brother Lin said, you have such a heart, and your wife and I are too late to be happy, how can you dislike it? Oh, what are you doing standing up, let's sit down and talk."

Zhao Qi cupped his hands, lowered his head and said: "Since the master is asleep, my second brother and I won't stay any longer. Come over to visit again tomorrow morning. I hope my wife will forgive me."

Mrs. Zhu paused, then forced a smile and said: "Yes, you just came back today, there must be a lot of things to deal with. Then, go and get busy. When your master wakes up, I will tell him that you have been here Yes."

"Thank you, Mrs. Mistress." The two brothers looked at each other, bowed and saluted, turned and walked out, as if they didn't notice the hesitation on Mrs. Zhu's face.

"Wait." Seeing that the two were about to walk out the door, Mrs. Zhu still couldn't help calling out to stop them.

Zhao Qi turned around and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, Master?"

"I, hehe, I just want to ask, are you still used to staying in Fucheng, and the rural examination is going well?" Mrs. Zhu stood up, smiled concealedly, and said, "You know, your master has always cared about you. He wakes up and asks, so I can answer him."

For this reason, I am afraid that even the little girl standing aside will not believe it.The thoughts in his heart disappeared in a flash, and Zhao Qi replied sternly: "As for Mrs. Hui, we are still used to staying in Fucheng. The Lu family has its own inn in Fucheng, and the shopkeeper arranged for us a separate courtyard. It's very appropriate. Besides, there are close friends from the same country by my side, and we can support and help each other when we have difficulties, so everything is fine. As for the township examination, Mr. Xuezheng and Mr. Zhifu gave us a lot of advice, and the three exams were considered smooth .”

"Oh, that's good. Hehe, that's good." Mrs. Zhu smiled, looked into Zhao Qi's eyes with a little inquiring, and her tone was also a little hesitant, "Apart from these, have you met any others during this period of time?" Very interesting or memorable?"

The most important thing is whether you have met Zhu Chunniang.The two brothers of the Zhao family knew the question Mrs. Zhu wanted to ask, they secretly looked at each other, and they told her some interesting and impressive things they met in Fucheng.But from the beginning to the end, there was no mention of Zhu Chunniang.It seemed that they were completely unaware of Zhu Chunniang's going to Fucheng.

"Okay, you guys go to work, I won't delay you." After asking for a long time, but couldn't ask anything, Mrs. Zhu forced a smile, and sent the two of them off.

Naturally, the two brothers of the Zhao family would not stay any longer. After saluting again, they turned and left without looking back.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhu clenched her hands under her sleeves tightly.Looking back at the gift on the table, I just felt stuffy in my chest.Raising her hand to sweep all the things to the ground, she had a straight face, breathing unevenly.

The little servant girl glanced at her, and asked tremblingly, "Ma'am, what's the matter with you?" Since the master was so angry that he was bedridden, the madam's temper became worse day by day.

"That vixen back then won the master's heart and harmed me. Now, his son has harmed Chunniang again..." Mrs. Zhu's face crept up with a look of disgust, and then her eyes flashed with sternness, "This Zhao family's The mother and son are really the evil stars of our mother and daughter."

Mrs. Zhu was in a state of distress, her eyes were flickering, the little maid hadn't heard her answer, and looked up at her cautiously, then she lowered her head in shock - Mrs. Zhu looked as if she wanted to swallow people alive.

After a long while, the little girl heard Mrs. Zhu order in a deep voice: "Go, move the quinoa primrose I bought a few days ago to the bedroom, the master will lie on the bed all day, and seeing the green plants will definitely make him feel better. "

The little servant girl agreed, and exited the room tremblingly, then breathed a sigh of relief, and ran away to work.

Mrs. Zhu sat on the spot with a deep expression for a long while, and when the boy came over and said that the master was awake, she got up calmly and went to the bedroom.

"Have Ruizhi and Zhao Lin been here?" Master Zhu asked a little excitedly when he saw her, sitting on the head of the bed with a pale face.

Mrs. Zhu sat by the bed and nodded, "Yes, I've been here."

"Then they saw Chunniang?" Master Zhu asked anxiously.

"Master is really anxious, but is it because you are worried about Chunniang's safety, or about Zhao Ruizhi's future?" Mrs. Zhu looked at him intently, and said quietly.

Master Zhu looked stiff, slowly raised his eyes and said, "What do you mean Ma'am?"

The corners of Madam Zhu's lips were pursed, and her eyes were burning: "literally..."
