Chapter 163: Pouring the fragrance of tea
This night, Qin Su has been looking forward to it for a long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, in order to pick themselves out, those little thieves must have retired from the night, staying in the field and waiting for a big catch at night. After the dinner, the three families who lived in the post station and the people in the surrounding building were all drugged.
For Qin Su, this is an excellent opportunity to act. The premise is that she moves very, very quickly.
To this end, she needs to recharge her energy and be careful not to hide things like eating and drinking too late to prevent anyone from finding out what is wrong.
Qin Su sighed slightly.
It's a pity that those high-quality drugs were taken away by those thieves, if they were in her hands, how many things could not be done?
She hung down her sleeves regretfully, and heard Yu on the side whisper: "Liuniang, go in." ”
Qin Su responded gently, followed behind the women, and slowly walked into the backyard of the post station.
The backyard of the post station is divided into six courtyards, each of which is quite large, and the courtyard should be the main room, the wing room, the back cover room and the inverted seat room, as well as a separate stable and a small kitchen, a tea room, etc., which are very complete. Some of the more elaborate carriages and horses of the ladies can also be parked here.
This kind of courtyard was reserved for the use of nobles or ladies, and the walls of the courtyard were built extremely high, and the servants guarding the gate behaved in a manner and spoke in a manner that was no worse than that of the servants of the noble clans, and at a glance it was known that it had been excellently conditioned.
Because the Qin family has the most, they chartered three of the six courtyards, followed by the Cheng family, with two, and the Cui family is a small scholar clan, and only one courtyard is enough.
Qin Su followed behind everyone, first went to the courtyard where the five ladies lived, and sat in the bright room and talked a little.
The spirits of the ladies were not very good, and the old lady Wu looked even more sorrowful, and after only sitting for a while, she was helped by Jiang Yu to go to the east chamber to rest.
Mrs. Tai soon told everyone to disperse, Qin Yanya took her sisters and went back to their courtyard under the escort of Qin Yanzhao, as soon as she entered the courtyard, she immediately asked people to close the door tightly, not allowed to enter or leave, and then ordered the Qin family's kitchen servants to boil water and cook, but they didn't go to touch the post station to eat at all.
Qin Su stood in front of the door of the second room in the east wing, lifted the curtain, looked at the white paper lantern hanging under the eaves, and gently brushed his sleeves.
Qin Yanya was really cautious, but unfortunately, the drug had already been in the water, and no matter how cautious her eldest sister was, it was in vain.
"Girl, do you want to drink tea?" Ah Kui's soft voice came, recalling Qin Su's mind.
She turned her head and smiled, and said, "Pour it, put it aside to dry first, and I'll drink it later." ”
Ah Kui picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea carefully, put it on the side of the desk, and went to clean up the cloth tent and bed.
"Ah Kui, you go and see where Jinxiu went. After waiting for a while, Qin Su sat down at the desk, picked up the teacup, and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "It's been half a day since she came in, and she hasn't even seen a person, so she must have gone to hang out elsewhere." ”
Ah Kui replied respectfully, bowed down, and carefully closed the door after going out.
Listening to her footsteps gradually moving away, Qin Su did not move, just sat quietly, and after a few breaths, she quietly got up and walked to the window, holding the window sash with both hands, and pushed it out.
"Bang", the window sash opened in response, the sound was quite loud, and Agu, who was shrinking under the window, was caught off guard, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he crashed into a pair of cold and dark eyes.
"Female ...... Girl......" She was shocked, straightened up with a panicked expression, and after a while remembered that she hadn't saluted, she quickly bent down again, and said unsteadily: "See...... I've seen girls. ”
Qin Su glanced at her lightly, turned his gaze to the courtyard, only looked at her with the afterglow of his eyes, and asked in a calm voice, "Why are you here?"
Ah Gu lowered his head, his eyelids twitched for a while, and Fang whispered, "I'...... I'm passing by, just about to ...... I was about to go to the kitchen. ”
"Hmm. Qin Su nodded, his expression did not change in the slightest, and said in a harmonious voice: "Then you can go quickly, I heard that the kitchen made broth today, and you have worked hard all the way, and you will rest early after dinner, and you will have to hurry tomorrow." After pausing for a moment, he said: "It's just that you are here, so that I don't have to call others anymore, you go to the kitchen and then go to find Ah Kui, and ask her to pass a word to the kitchen, saying that I am tired, I want to sleep for a while, and then use it for dinner." ”
Ah Gu should have stood in place for a while before heading to the kitchen.
Qin Su took the wooden strip in one hand, as if he was about to prop up the window sash and lean out half of his body, but with the other hand, he used his figure to cover it, and quickly lifted the lid of the teapot on the table next to him, and poured back the tea in the teacup.
This tea is not drinkable, and if you drink it at night, you will not be able to do anything.
This series of actions, Qin Su completed it with one hand, and the sleeves were wide, and he couldn't help but get a little tea juice between actions.
In this way, you can skip the food, but you can't skip the water, and with the water stains on the sleeve, you can also avoid unnecessary suspicion. When Ah Kui saw it, he would definitely think that the tea had been drunk by Qin Su.
Qin Su propped up the window and glanced at the courtyard a few times.
On a spring evening, the air is warm and sweet, the breeze gently blows through the courtyard, and a tall magnolia is planted in the corner, and the plain white flowers bloom in the sky, like a snow dance in the air, cold and gorgeous.
Qin Su supported himself with one hand, looking at the blossoming tree in fascination.
She had some impressions of the place.
In her previous life, she was assigned to live in this room. There are no other advantages of this house, only the location of the window is excellent, facing a white orchid tree, and you can also see the scene of the kitchen, which is easy to observe, and you can also enter and exit from the courtyard door.
Qin Su looked at it for a while, then turned around and walked to the couch.
The bed has been tidied up, the tent is also half-hung and half-hanging, and the golden sunset shines through the plain curtain and casts on the copper tent hook of the bird's beak, and the halo is like a halo.
In addition to his shoes, Qin Su lay on the couch in his clothes, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and his thoughts were constantly in his head.
Jinxiu is used to being lazy, no matter in her past or present life, she is an excuse to be uncomfortable and hides in the ear room to sleep.
This made Qin Suwei a little regretful.
If you are on duty and borrow her clothes to go out to do errands, you don't have to bother. Ah Kui is a pity, if someone sees the shadow of tonight's events, she will be speechless, and she will definitely not be able to go to Beijing at that time.
If she doesn't go to Beijing, some of Qin Su's arrangements will have to be changed again, but it is inconvenient.
However, this is not very likely.
The drugs of those little thieves are extremely powerful, and even the guards brought by each family have been tricked, which shows their cleverness.
Qin Su turned over and looked at the half-open window sash.
The sky beyond the high wall was covered with a thin layer of gray clouds, hidden in the midst of the colorful glow, and the golden red and gray-blue were entwined, and there was a kind of moving magnificence.
Hopefully the moonlight won't be too good tonight.
Qin Su closed his eyes, and his ears could hear the footsteps, whispering, and the sound of Guiyan's cry outside the window, and slowly fell asleep. (To be continued.) )
