Qin Yanzhao's face was sad, and his expression was a little worried.

The summer air, hot and dry, has a fresh smell of grass and trees, but under this short stone steps, it is heavy but pressing.

The slightest joy in his heart, in the face of this heaviness, is like a drop of water to the river.

He half-tilted his head, and with a long sigh he vomited but did not vomit, rising from his chest and blocking his throat.

At that moment, his face was so dark that he seemed to be able to suppress the wind blowing in his face.

Qin Yanwan sat in Tao's house for half an hour, and after handing over the letter handed over by Qin Su to Tao Wenjuan, she took her leave.

Tao Wenjuan sent her out of the small vertical arch, Qin Yanwan looked left and right, and asked, "Where is my second brother?"

Tao Wenjuan took out a towel to wipe the corners of her mouth, and half of her face was covered by a plain towel: "Erlangjun thinks it's still in the study, I'll ask someone to go to the study to take a look." ”

"No need. Qin Yanwan stopped her, with a smile on her face: "Learning is great, and my second brother is going back to his hometown to participate in the county meeting next year, don't let me mislead him." There is a lady who asks my second brother's scholar to ask. ”

Tao Wenjuan seemed to be a little absent-minded today, and her face was slightly pale at this time, so she answered yes, and ordered Xiao Wei to call Qin Yanzhao's little scholar over.

The little scholar's name is Ah Li, he got Qin Yanzhao's instructions in advance, and when he saw Qin Yanwan, he said: "Lang Jun said, I will accompany my master to have lunch today, and I will go to the West Market again after dinner. ”

Since Tao Fuzi entered the Qin Mansion, his method of imparting knowledge is also special, in addition to the usual Four Books and Five Classics, he often takes students to the countryside or the market, only saying that "scholars know the grain, then they know the suffering of the people."

Since knowing that a liter of high-grade millet costs a month for a poor family, Qin Yanzhao and the others are not very picky about food and clothing, and they also know that they are sympathetic to the people in the house, and their attitude and vision of things are also very different from the past.

Hearing that Qin Yanzhao was going to delay for a few more days, Qin Yanwan was used to it, and only greeted Tao Wenjuan: "My second brother has clothes and baggage here, and there is Lao Tao Niangzi to keep an eye on Ah Li for me, don't call him lazy." As he spoke, he went to tell Ah Li: "I know that you like to run around like crazy, and I don't care about you, there is only one thing, don't let my second brother run around together." ”

That Ah Li is twelve years old this year, but he knows it in his heart, and when he heard the words, he was sent down by Qin Yanwan.

Tao Wenjuan still accompanied Qin Yanwan out of the house, said goodbye at the bottom of the stairs in the two times, and agreed on the day of reunion, Qin Yanwan got into the carriage and turned out of the alley after a while.

Out of the alley, it is the most lively market in the west of the city, Cai Lan and Cai Green have followed the car, Cai Lan took warm water to wet the muslin towel, wrung it out and wiped Qin Yanwan's face, and asked with a smile: "Didn't the girl say two days ago that she wanted to buy some pen and ink? Do you want to go to Deshengmen Street to have a look?"

Qin Yanwan closed her eyes and wiped her face, and said lazily: "That's it, there are too many people in that place, and the weather is very hot, I don't like to go." Let's go to Fushou Street, which is closer to home. ”

Picking blue and green should be the same, and the carriage turned around at the intersection of Qiantou and turned to a narrow alley leading to Fushou Street.

Qin Yanwan cleaned her head and face, then sat on the fine brocade mat and closed her eyes to recuperate, today she got up earlier than usual, but at the moment she was a little sleepy.

The carriage swayed and walked slowly, and she felt tiredness hit her, and the body shook violently.

This came down suddenly, Qin Yanwan was caught off guard, and the whole person was planted forward. Fortunately, Cai Lan reacted quickly, and she stepped forward to protect her, so she didn't hit the car board headlong.

Cai Luzhi was so frightened that his face changed, and he stepped forward and asked, "Has the girl ever fallen?" while pulling her hand and looking up and down carefully.

Qin Yanwan's face was not different, she only shook her head and said, "I'm fine, it's just a false alarm." ”

At this time, the carriage had stopped, so Cai Lan calmly opened half of the curtain and asked, "What's the matter?" Why did the car stop all of a sudden?"

The coachman came from the old house of the Qin family, named Ah Sheng, when Qin Su returned to Qingzhou from Lianyun Town, he was the car. At this time, he stopped the car steadily, and pointed ahead and said, "Our car is on the same page as someone else's." ”

As he spoke, he craned his neck to look ahead, and said, "It seems that something has happened in front of him, and everyone has gone forward." ”

Cai Lan also noticed that a large number of pedestrians were running forward, and he vaguely heard someone saying something like "there was a fight".

She pondered for a moment, then beckoned to a sturdy servant: "Go and see what is ahead?"

The servant woman hurriedly went, and Ah Sheng asked quietly, "What should we do now?" The car on the other side seems to be going back, shall we give way?"

Before Cai Lan could speak, Qin Yanwan said in the car: "Since the front is blocked, let's find another way." Let's let the debut come first. ”

Ah Sheng answered yes, and was about to turn around the horse, when he suddenly heard the crisp sound of hooves, but it was the guard who was following the car on the opposite side galloped over, and greeted him from a long distance: "I'm sorry, can you please let go of the carriage of your house?" There was a fight in front, and the road was impassable, and we also retreated from the front. ”

This person speaks a standard Mandarin, his body is athletic, his eyes are sharp, and although the clothes on his body are not luxurious, his spirit is very unusual, as if he is a guard in a big family.

Ah Sheng didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly said politely: "Let's turn around, please wait for a while." ”

The man raised his eyes and swept in the direction of the Qin family's carriage, there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, and he didn't say much, and with a slight wave of his hand, he hit the horse back.

Cai Lan had already retracted into the car at this time, lowered the curtain, and said to Qin Yanwan in a suppressed voice: "The car on the opposite side seems to be quite small, and those guards look very capable. ”

Qin Yanwan was drinking tea with a teacup, and when she heard the words, she smiled: "Dadu is the capital of Dachen, and it is the most prosperous and wealthy place in Dachen, with seven surnames, thirty-two small surnames and other famous families, or rooted in Dadu, or bought a house in Dadu, the so-called famous families are gathered, and the wang families are piled up, which is Dadu, and the eastern boundary of the city is almost uninhabitable, and many of them have moved to the south of the city where we live." Nowadays, we just occasionally encounter these big families on the road, which is normal, and you don't have to make a fuss. ”

Cai Lan's brows were still frowning, and he looked worried: "In the end, we almost collided with someone's car, I'm just a little worried." ”
