When Qingxing returned to Mingyuewu, Qin Hanzhen had already woken up and was practicing calligraphy. She thought www.biquge.info Qingxing was really looking for plums, and asked, "Is your brother back?"

Qing Xing reluctantly smiled and shook her head: "Not yet, there must be something delayed." ”

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but mutter: "My cousin and Cousin Zhao went to see the Wen family, why didn't they come back at this time? Even if they had lunch together, they should finish eating now, right?" She didn't think much about it, shook her head, and continued to practice calligraphy. Anyway, Wu Shaoying and Zhao Mo will always come back, and when the time comes, they will know what is going on.

Qing Xing watched her write for a while, and when she saw Xia Qing giving her a look outside, she quietly retreated.

The two walked to the corner of the corridor, and Qingxing gave her a reward: "Mrs. gave it, saying that we are careful and thoughtful, so that if we encounter such a thing in the future, we must report it." ”

Xia Qing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but stuffed the reward seal in his hand back into Qing Xing's hand: "This time, thanks to my sister, where do I have the face to be rewarded by my wife? ”

Qingxing raised her eyebrows, smiled and stuffed the reward into her sleeve: "Okay, if I don't accept it, I'm afraid that my sister will be uneasy." But this matter is over, and my sister doesn't have to talk to anyone about it in the future, just if you really think it's inappropriate, discuss it with me and report it to the old lady. ”

Xia Qing nodded gratefully: "Sister, don't worry." ”

Even if this matter is solved, Qingxing looked at the house again, and pulled Xia Qing to sit down on the pillar: "Speaking of which, I have been in this mansion for some time, because I came from outside, and I don't know a few people, so I usually never dare to walk outside, let alone know the people in this mansion." Except for the Qingfeng Pavilion and the girl in this courtyard, I can't even recognize all the people in the Peach Blossom Pavilion next door, let alone the people who work on errands elsewhere. When I was in Qingfeng Pavilion just now, Mama Lu and Sister Lily taught me a lot of truths, and I was very ashamed to hear it, I used to be too lazy, and I should change it in the future. Good sister, tell me about the personnel in this house, and take me around when you have time, so that I can recognize people, okay?"

Xia Qing naturally wouldn't refuse, she actually felt that Qing Xing was too lazy. Just follow Qin Hanzhen everywhere, it's nothing, the problem is that Qingxing hardly goes to other places except for the three places of Mingyue Dock, Qingfeng Pavilion and Garden Boat Hall, and even ordinary errands and messengers do less. The day before yesterday, there was a banquet in the house, and there was a shortage of waiting people at the banquet, and several of them went over to help, but Qingxing clearly refused to go from the beginning. If it weren't for the fact that Qin Hanzhen also needed someone to wait by his side, the little girls might not be as familiar with Qingxing, and Xia Qing would not have been able to agree so happily. Now that she wants to change, Xia Qing is naturally in favor.

Qing Xing first began to ask the big girls under the hands of several faceless masters of the Chengenhou Mansion, such as the first and second class girls under the Xu family of Songfeng Hall, what are their names, what are their temperaments, what are their affairs, what are their backgrounds, who are they related to, and so on. After Songfeng Tang's question, it was Shengyiju's turn, followed by Tingyuxuan. After the introduction of the big girls in these places, it should have been the turn of the young masters to live in Zheguitai or the Fuguiju in the second room, but before Xia Qing could mention it, Qingxing asked first: "In the courtyards of the long house, in addition to the housekeeper and the big girl with a head and a face, are there any housekeepers who are on errands in the outer courtyard or something? Even if you may not be able to see someone, it is better to let me know that you know the name, and if you meet it in the future, it is better to avoid it, but don't offend the talent. ”

Xia Qing smiled: "What's so difficult about this? In fact, there are not many times when I meet them, but I just know who there are, and when I need to find someone in trouble, I won't be like a headless fly." ”

Changfang is a more famous steward in the outer courtyard, except for the four people who served as errands in front of Qin Song, the Marquis of Chengen, the two henchmen of the Chengenhou Lady Xu are the most powerful. One of these two people was married from the Xu family, and the other was promoted by the Xu family in the past 30 years, named Hoopoe and Qin Bolao respectively. Both of them are in the prime of life, one is in charge of the accounts of the house, the other is in charge of personnel, although there is no name of the big housekeeper, but there is a big housekeeper, the family members, etc., everyone respects them three points.

Hopoe and Qin Bailao almost don't enter the second gate, so the girls waiting in the second gate can't see them when they are idle. However, Qingxing often goes to the Qingfeng Pavilion, which is in the outer courtyard, and occasionally goes to visit his brother Li Zi who lives in the outer courtyard, maybe there will be a time to meet. Even if she can't meet her, talking to her brother Li Zi will save Li Zi from offending the big housekeeper in a daze.

Hoopoe and Qin Bolao are considered to be from Songfeng Hall, and Sheng Yiju has a few other stewards. They are more familiar with these girls, and they may meet several of Yao's companions and long-term companions, one is Chang Wang's husband and wife who have been driven away from Zhuangzi, and the other is Chang Xing, who is now gaining momentum - although he is also surnamed Chang, but he is not related to Chang Wang - both of them are companions. There is also a person named Yao Guixiang, who was originally the son of a family in this house, because he married Yao's big girl Yugui, and now he is in charge of the property that Yao's marriage came from, as well as her private house, and she is also a decent and powerful steward. Apart from these three, the rest of the little stewards are not worth mentioning.

These are the people under the Yao family, as well as Qin Zhonghai's men. He has four henchmen who often help him run errands on weekdays, and follow him in and out every day, these four people are called Qin Zhong, Qiu Yi, Liu Cheng and He Xin......

Qing Xing's eyes flashed slightly, it turned out that the fourth cousin was working under Second Master Qin......

She began to quietly inquire about the origins of the four men.

Xia Qing didn't think much about it, and honestly told her everything she knew: "Qin Zhong and Qiu Yi are both born in the family, Qin Zhong is the oldest, and when he heard that the second master was born, his wife chose him to follow the second master." The second master learned to ride a horse from him. In the past, when the second master went out to school, he also followed. I heard that once the second master rode a horse and almost fell off his leg, thanks to his desperate rescue, nothing happened, but he was seriously injured and raised for more than half a year. Qiu Yiyuan was the scholar next to the second master, and he has also been a confidant for many years. Liu Cheng seems to have been given by someone else, and he is very capable...... I don't remember it, but I vaguely heard that someone in his family seemed to have committed something that had caused him to have lost his life, so he had to sell himself into slavery. When he came to our house, he was still young, as if he were not yet twenty. His parents are long gone, and he lives with his uncle and aunt, so he treats his uncle and aunt as his biological parents. In order to treat his uncle and aunt, he sold himself. Now he is married to his own son, and he has also set up a home in Fuhou Street, and has taken his uncle and aunt over to support him. Madame said before that he is a rare loyal person, and if he waits by the second master's side, her old man can rest assured. ”

Qingxing couldn't help but be surprised. In her memory, the fourth cousin He Xin, whose parents died when she was a child, was adopted by her grandfather and grandmother, and has been staying in her hometown to serve with the elderly. If it is said that he sold himself into slavery in order to treat his uncle and aunt, then this uncle must have been her own father and grandmother? How could they be seriously ill? She still thought that the second elder had been in her hometown all along. Her grandfather and grandmother had four uncles to take care of, and the family also had houses and properties, and there were also clansmen to help them, so life should not be worrying. Could it be that because something bad happened to my father, and the second elder was too sad to hear the news, he fell ill? But why did the fourth cousin still come to the capital to sell himself? Or did the second elder also come to the capital?

Qingxing's mind was in a mess, thinking of He Xin who had met before, and was worried that he had found his brother Lizi for a while, and the two didn't know what to say, and for a while they were afraid that the fact that they recognized each other would be known to others, and the people in the third room knew the true roots of their brothers and sisters. In fact, she is not afraid that the people in the third room will dislike her if they know that she is the daughter of the criminal official, what she is most afraid of is that the third room will know which criminal official's daughter she is, so as to discover the biggest secret of their brother and sister......

Qing Xing bit her lip and decided to meet her brother as soon as possible, if it was possible, she would have to talk to the fourth cousin He Xin about the life experience of the pair, and ask him not to say too much in front of the Qin family. After all, it's all in the past, it has nothing to do with them, their brothers and sisters are living a good life in the third room of the Qin family, why should they bury such a good day for the sake of the enemy?

Xia Qingxu finished babbling about the male servants that Qin Shutao and Min's subordinates could use, and when he turned around and saw Qing Xing's absent-minded appearance, he asked, "What are you thinking?"

Qingxing hurriedly came back to her senses and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, sister, you said too many names, I didn't remember them clearly for a while." Let's go back and talk, shall we? It's been half a day, and the girl is in the house for some reason, so let's go in and have a look?"

Xia Qing nodded and went into the house with her.

At this time, Qin Hanzhen had already finished practicing calligraphy, and was holding a book to memorize the text, because he was tired of memorizing, and he was also a little listless.

Qingxing smiled and proposed, "Girl, take a break, can you have fresh mung bean soup and mugwort buns today, do you want to taste some of them?"

Qin Han shook his head weakly: "Forget it, I don't have an appetite now, I can't eat anything." ”

Xia Qing said: "Then do you want to eat some fruit? There is a talented watermelon, which is sandy and sweet, and it is the coolest to eat in such weather." ”

Qin Hanzhen came to the spirit: "Oh? Xia Qing hurriedly called Baiqiao and Lianshi to help and go to pick up the watermelon and cut it.

She was looking for a knife to cut melons, when she met Baishou coming over: "Sister, my wife asked me to come and tell the girl that my cousin and Young Master Zhao are back and are talking in the Qingfeng Pavilion, and I asked the girl if she wants to go?"

Before Xia Qing could speak, Qin Hanzhen had already jumped up: "I'm going, I'm going!"

So Qin Hanzhen didn't eat the real melon, and he didn't memorize the book, so he hurriedly changed his clothes, and took Qingxing, Xia Qing and Baishou to the Qingfeng Pavilion.
