"What's going on? Look at your panic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Jinxiu asked before Qin Su, her eyes were full of curiosity, as if she wanted to run out and take a look.

Qin Su didn't stop her from speaking, only quietly kept silent.

The shorter servant said respectfully: "It's the Lord of the Zhong family who has arrived, and I will wait for the order of the lady to report the news to the old lady of the East Courtyard." ”

Zhong Jingren has arrived?

Qin Su's hand hidden in his sleeve was instantly cold.

Zhong Jingren is the eldest brother of the Zhong family, and has been in charge of several kiln factories of the Qin family, and at the end of each year, he will return to the Qin family to pay the account, and give some New Year's gifts by the way.

In his previous life, he dug up He Duwei's private weapons in the brick kiln factory managed by Zhong Jingren.

Is the Zhong family having a deal with the He family privately? Or was Zhong Jingren innocently framed? Qin Su didn't know.

At this moment, Zhong Jingren came to the Qin family, which indicated that in a few days, Mrs. Tai would definitely invite the family to Dehui Hall to meet Zhong Jingren.

In other words, the thing she had been worried about was about to happen.

I hope the arrangements she made in advance can make some difference.

Qin Su let go of his fingers, bowed slightly to Ah Sheng, and said with a smile: "Go quickly, don't miss the message." ”

Ah Sheng and the servant said yes, bowed, and turned the cloister.

From beginning to end, Ah Sheng did not show how close he was to Qin Su, and his demeanor was very calm, which was very different from the young man who drove the car in Qin Su's memory.

"It turns out that Lord Zhong Lang is here." As she spoke, a pair of eyes were firmly glued to Ah Sheng's straight back, with a hint of curiosity in her expression.

Qin Su glanced at her line of sight and didn't speak.

"Is that a new servant? I've never seen it in the main house before. Jinxiu finally said, and a pair of eyes turned to Qin Su.

Qin Su nodded: "That's Ah Sheng, he was originally a charioteer, I met a strong man on the way back to my house, thanks to him being in danger." Her tone was filled with emotion, "Now that he is working in the main courtyard, it can be seen that the great-grandmother also appreciates him." ”

"It turns out that he is Ah Sheng." Jinxiu's eyes were shining, holding his face in both hands, and he couldn't help but have a sweet smile on his face, as if he was moved.

Qin Su was slightly surprised in his heart, but he still followed her words and said, "It's him." Ah Sheng drove the car very well, and acted safely, I heard that the stewards often praised him. ”

Jinxiu's eyes brightened, and she looked at the front of the long shadow, but she didn't continue, but changed the topic with a smile: "The girl hasn't been back for a long time, and Lord Zhong Lang is the most generous, I don't know what rare and interesting things he can bring this time, I can't say that the girl will get more things than others." ”

Every time Zhong Jingren came to the Qin Mansion, he would send some gifts to the courtyards, because he traveled all the year round, and the objects he brought back were novel, which was indeed worth looking forward to.

Qin Su made an appropriate expression of joy and said happily: "Exactly, the plaything that Uncle Zhong brought is the most interesting and fresh." ”

"Look at the girl's joy." Jinxiu smiled and quipped.

Qin Su hurriedly restrained his smile and said softly: "Let's go back quickly, sleep well tonight, I can't say that I will be able to see Uncle Zhong early tomorrow morning." ”

Jinxiu chuckled when she heard this, and stepped forward to help Qin Su diligently, and after a while, the figures of the master and servant had gradually drifted away.

There was silence inside and outside the corridor. At this time, it was already dinner time, and there was no trace of people in the courtyard, except for the twilight lights flickering, blooming like stars in the silent night sky.

"Click", a soft sound of clogs, broke the silence of this courtyard.

With this voice, I saw a figure quietly flashing in the innermost part of the corridor.

The figure was wrapped in a cloak all over his body, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, staring at Qin Su's distant back, and after a while, he turned around sharply and disappeared into the deep night......

Compared with the flickering star lights of the Qin Mansion and the beauty of the sky, the night of the Xue Mansion is much more lonely.

Xue Yunheng carried a yellow paper lantern and walked alone on the gravel road, without anyone beside him.

The people of the Xue clan despise luxury and frugality, so the night of this Xue Mansion is purer than elsewhere, except for a few candles, there are only stars dazzling and the moon is bright in the sky.

Xue Yunheng looked up at the sky.

The winter night in the capital is not as clear as the south, but has a dry and simple taste, the stars are embedded in the dark blue sky, like a little wave between the water, clear, clean, cold, indifferent like the eyes of the gods looking at all beings.

For some reason, an inconspicuous figure suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, standing in white clothes and a cane, far away in the corner of his memory, clear and cold.

"Southern girl." Xue Yunheng muttered to himself, and shook his head again self-deprecatingly.

He was thinking too much. It's just that a few days ago, he received a thank you gift from the Qin family, and read a decent and delicate note written by the Qin family's six mothers.

He raised the lantern a little higher and illuminated the way.

Actually, there is nothing to shine on.

The courtyard of the Xue Mansion is probably the most boring and dull of all the scholars. Just like the "Peiyu Garden" he is passing through at the moment, in addition to having an elegant name, the biggest feature of this garden is emptiness.

The flowers and trees in the corner are half-dead all year round, and it is rare to bloom a flower in a year. There is no half of the flower shadow in the lotus pond, only a large piece of wild duckweed, which makes the pond green and shady, and it is a little scary to look at at night.

This empty yard is paved with large and smooth bluestones, and even if you walk at night without lighting lanterns, you will not be afraid of falling or hurting at all, because there is really nothing to hit or step on.

Xue Yunheng smiled self-deprecatingly again and slowly walked forward.

Passing through the empty Peiyu Garden, there are two forks in the road, and the one on the left ends to his study.

Xue Yunheng walked through the path slowly, and did not stop for a while until he reached the bottom of the porch of the study, hung the lantern on the copper hook outside the door, and then pushed the door into the house.

He Ying was dressed in a dark color suit, standing straight in front of the desk, and when he heard Xue Yunheng's footsteps, he immediately faced the direction of the door, crossed his hands on one knee and said, "I've seen the waiter." ”

Xue Yunheng was promoted some time ago, and now he is a Zhongshu squire, a five-grade official position, neither high nor low, and occasionally can walk in front of the palace, but it is not eye-catching.

With the Xue family's family, his performance can only be called moderation.

"Get up and speak." Xue Yunheng waved his hand casually, walked over and picked up the teapot by himself, and tried it, but it was cold.

"Ahh Xue Yunheng called twice, but he didn't hear a response, so he changed his mouth again, and his voice was very impatient: "Deng Tong, you give me death, pretend to be deaf." ”

At this moment, Xue Erlang, who is famous in Chen Guo and makes countless girls blush and heartbeat, how can he still look like he is in white clothes fluttering and has big sleeves? The anger on that face was very different from usual. (To be continued.) )
