Chapter 275: Piercing Thirty-Three
Su Qingni's return made the children very happy. Xiao Bing and Xiao Ding, two girls, teamed up to make a sumptuous meal to celebrate Su Qingni's return.
Su Qingni could see that Xiao A and Xiao Ding, Xiao B and Xiao C had signs respectively. Xiao Bing and Xiao Ding's age is just in junior high school in modern times...... But she is not the homeroom teacher of the middle school, and now it is not modern, but the Qing Dynasty where early marriage was common, so it can be seen that Su Qingni will not stop these two couples, but is happy to see it.
In the evening, Su Qingni went out with a pot of wine.
She came to the mansion of the Thirteenth Elder Brother. Although the thirteenth elder brother was imprisoned, this time it was okay, and he was not locked up in the beekeeping channel, but in his own mansion. The officers and soldiers guarding outside the mansion were just shelves, and Su Qingni easily entered the Thirteen Mansions without being discovered by anyone.
There are many fewer people in the Thirteen Mansions than in the other Mansions, and Su Qingni walked on the road of the courtyard openly, and none of the subordinates found that it was wrong.
So, Su Qingni came to the outside of the thirteenth elder brother's study so generously.
The light was shining in the window of the study, and Su Qingni wanted to learn from the person in the TV to dip his fingers in saliva and apply it to the window paper, and then press a small hole to peek into the scene in the room. However, as soon as she raised her hand, Su Qingni found that the window was not pasted with window paper, but inlaid glass. The quality of the glass is not good, it is a little turbid, and the visibility is not high, but it is also glass, and you can't poke holes out of it with saliva. And most importantly β
The people inside the room were able to see the dark shadows outside through the window panes.
"Who?" said the thirteenth elder brother. He thought it was some unruly subordinate, but he heard a familiar voice that he hadn't heard for a long time.
"The old man is visiting, I don't know if the Thirteenth Master is welcome or not?"
The voiceβit can't beβthe owner of the voice is dead.
No, it's possible. Think of that person's character, think of that person's ability...... How could such a person die so easily? The biggest possibility is that this one is unwilling to enter the Ninth Brother's mansion, so he chose to cheat his death!
The thirteenth elder brother quickly walked to the window, stretched out his hand and slammed the window open.
Sure enough, through the light shining from the candle, he could clearly see the person standing outside the window, who else would it be if it wasn't Su Qingni?
Su Qingni came to the thirteenth elder brother this time without makeup, revealing his true face.
"Sure enough, it's you!You're not dead!" Brother Thirteen was surprised and angry, "You actually cheated to death?!"
Su Qingni pursed her lips and smiled: "No way, I like freedom, I don't like to be trapped in the backyard and fight with a group of women for a man." β
The thirteenth elder brother sighed when he heard this: "I should have thought of it a long time ago." β
Su Qingni smiled and asked, "May I ask the master's house, can I enter the house?"
The thirteenth elder brother took two steps back, turned sideways, and made way for Su Qingni.
Su Qingni jumped lightly and jumped into the study from the window.
The two sat down face to face, and the thirteenth elder brother lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Su Qingni, and said with a bitter smile: "I am now confined in a captivity, and I don't even have wine at home, so I can only replace wine with tea." β
"I have wine. After Su Qingni finished speaking, she opened the lid of the basket she brought, and took out a small jar of wine and two side dishes from the basket, one was braised pig's head meat, and the other was fried peanuts, which Su Qingni asked Xiao Bing and Xiao Ding to prepare.
The two girls thoughtfully prepared chopsticks, wine glasses, and dishes.
Su Qingni took it out and put it in front of herself and the thirteenth elder brother: "The food is simple, please be considerate." After all, I'm not everyone's lady anymore, and I can't afford to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas. β
The thirteenth elder brother lifted the wine jar and poured himself a glass of wine, drank it dry, and exhaled a long breath of enjoyment: "Good wine." With such good sake, it is enough to enjoy without snacks. β
Su Qingni smiled proudly: "This wine is made by the children I adopted, of course." β
"Do you brew it yourself?" the thirteenth elder brother stared at Su Qingni with bright eyes.
Su Qingni smiled: "It's not much, it's enough for you not to overdo it." β
"Great. The thirteenth elder brother smiled, "I have been confined in the mansion these days, except for the fourth brother who will send some wine during the festival, I have never drunk wine again, and the bird is about to fade out of my mouth." β
Su Qingni was surprised: "You are the emperor's elder brother, even if you are imprisoned, there will be no shortage of daily necessities, right?"
The thirteenth elder brother smiled bitterly: "The fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken." I am now disgusted by Huang Ama, and I have no chance to come out again, and the people of the Internal Affairs Office are stepping on the low and praising the high, and it is just ordinary to deduct supplies. What's more, when I was loved by Huang Ama in the past, I was in the way of many people's eyes, but now naturally some people have fallen into the ground. β
The thirteenth elder brother thought that Su Qingni would sigh and sympathize with him, but Su Qingni only said: "Your life is much better than that of ordinary people now, at least you won't starve and freeze, and you still have books to read." β
The thirteenth elder brother was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Yes, my life is much better than most people now." β
"By the way, the books I read now are all shipped back from Western countries, and after reading them, I know more about them. As you said, if the Qing Dynasty does not study the science of Western countries, sooner or later it will be broken by Western countries. Speaking of this, the thirteenth elder brother's face rose with melancholy, "It's a pity that Huang Ama only regards Western countries as small barbarians, although he also understands some Western cultures, he doesn't pay attention to them." The fourth brother is the same, their vision is limited to such a land, but they don't know how big the world is. β
The thirteenth elder brother said and sighed: "The fourth brother is not as good as the ninth brother in this regard, and the ninth brother has organized several fleets to go to various places to do business, bringing back more materials and more advanced technology from other places. I once heard the conversation between the ninth brother and the starling, and the reason why the ninth brother was so active in wanting to put the starling on the throne was that the starling would be able to allow him to go to sea and visit other countries after he ascended the throne. At that moment, I was almost a little tempted......"
Su Qingni: "I want to put your starling brother on the throne too?"
The thirteenth elder brother laughed twice: "Yes, at that moment, I really wanted to cooperate with the ninth brother." However, the starling brother is the same as the fourth brother, he only has the throne in his eyes, and he can let the ninth brother leave the Daqing Dynasty and go overseas because he has a good relationship with the ninth brother. If it were me, the starling wouldn't have been relieved that I would leave. So, I dismissed this idea and supported my fourth brother. β
Su Qingni asked with a smile: "Are you sure that your fourth brother will be allowed to leave if you take that position?"
