Chapter 61: The Banquet (Part II)
"Qingjing Pavilion is a place for our girls to learn calligraphy and painting in the summer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lotus leads the way in front, and does not forget to introduce the place where you are going. "Built in Qingjing Garden, usually the garden is locked, the inside is clean, there are no idlers, just a few of us."
She showed a big sweet smile, turned her head and said: "I'll take the girl to the small gate I usually walk, there is nothing in the way to go in, if you enter from the main entrance, there are big trees overhead, there is no sun today, it's weirdly cold." ”
When she got to the small gate she said, it was behind a rockery, and the wall of the garden collapsed a small piece at some point, just enough to accommodate two people standing side by side. If someone hadn't pointed it out, no one would have noticed that there was a place to enter the park.
Zhou Qin followed into the garden from that place, and suddenly felt that his vision was dark, it turned out that this side was also a rockery, and the two rockeries perfectly covered the collapsed piece.
He took the two of them all the way forward, and sure enough, the low flowers and low grass on the side of the road were well placed. Zhou Qin walked for a quarter of an hour, and an attic with closed doors and windows appeared in front of him, with a big "Qingjing Pavilion" plaque hanging.
He took a few steps forward and pushed open the door, the first floor was originally a place for painting and calligraphy, and there were a few chairs and a large table, as well as a number of books.
Zhou Qin followed upstairs, but on the second floor, there was an embroidery bed, a chaise longue, a few low tables, and some toiletries. On the embroidery bed is a cover covered with a cover.
He rushed forward, took off the cover, shook off the futon, stood aside and said, "These are all newly dismantled and have never been used, so the girl can rest assured." ”
Haitang thanked and said, "That's good enough, my girl wants to have a good rest, you go to work first, and then come back to take us back in an hour." ”
He nodded, bowed and withdrew.
Zhou Qin sat on the chaise longue, leaning on his clothes, Begonia opened the window, turned his head to look, frowned and said: "The sun is not big today, but it is bright enough, the girl is not stuffy, or we won't open the window." ”
Zhou Qin said: "Close the window, it's strange and dazzling." ”
Haitang went to the side and poured water for Zhou Qinjing to wipe his face, and after a while, it took a while to get it done, she said with a smile: "I almost forgot, I went down and closed the door." ”
Zhou Qin was about to nod, when he suddenly heard the wooden door downstairs being opened, and after a while, a person came up from the stairs, tall and with a cold expression, it was Tian Chu.
Zhou Qin sat up suddenly, and Haitang hurriedly took a few steps forward and blocked in front of Zhou Qin.
Tian Chu was even more surprised when he saw the two people upstairs, he looked around left and right, and asked, "Where is Zhao Huan?" ”
Zhou Qin stood up and replied, "I don't know where Du Wei received the news, I have been resting here for more than a quarter of an hour, and I have never seen the county lord of Jiacheng. ”
Tian Chu's brows furrowed, and just as he was thinking about what kind of trap there was, Zhou Qin hurriedly reminded: "Who is Du Wei coming with?" ”
Tian Chu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously shook his head.
Zhou Qin asked again: "Does Du Wei have a servant?" ”
Tian Chu replied, "I came alone. ”
Zhou Qin hurriedly said, "I'll avoid it first." ”
As he spoke, he got up and left immediately with Begonia.
Tian Chu said suddenly: "Wait." ”
He took a long stride, and in a short time he came to one of the windows, which faced the main entrance of the attic, and he did not have a sword at the moment, but out of nowhere he took out a short knife, and with a stroke of his hand, the cloth on the window was cut open. Tian Chu put his eyes on the crack, looked at it for a while, and then walked to the window on the other side, repeating this action, and when he returned to the window in the direction of the gate, he seemed to confirm something, turned his head to Zhou Qin and said: "You are a smart girl, stay here, take care of your girl, don't make a noise, no matter what happens, don't go downstairs." ”
Zhou Qin replied almost immediately: "I won't see anything." ”
Tian Chu nodded and reflexively went downstairs.
He was halfway down the stairs when the door slammed open. Tian Chu still kept going down the stairs at an unhurried pace, but a woman's voice came from below.
The whole building of this Qingjing Pavilion is made of wood, although it has a smell of rosin, but it also has the characteristics of wooden buildings, and the wooden planks are separated as if there is no partition. Although Zhou Qin was upstairs, the voice downstairs was as clear as if he was speaking in front of him, and his voice was tactful and sweet, he should be a young girl.
"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you still look so arrogant, I thought you didn't dare to come."
A woman said.
Tian Chu replied: "In front of the county lord, I don't dare to admit that I am arrogant. ”
Haitang was taken aback and looked at Zhou Qin.
Zhou Qin nodded and made a mouth shape of "Jiacheng County Lord".
The woman said again: "Since you have the courage to come, you can honestly explain, where did you hide others?!" ”
Tian Chu said: "I don't know what the county lord said. ”
"If you don't know, what are you doing here?"
Tian Chu seemed to be dumbfounded and smiled: "The county lord wrote me an inexplicable letter, and also sent a guard carriage to invite me over, if I don't come, won't I give you face?" ”
The county lord of Jiacheng snorted coldly and said, "Don't pretend, where are you hiding that surnamed Shen!" If you don't say anything, don't blame me for being rude! ”
"I don't know who the county lord is talking about, there are several people surnamed Shen around me, if there is nothing else, Tian will leave."
There was another "bang" downstairs, presumably because the door was slammed shut.
Immediately, Tian Chu's voice with a faint anger came, "Zhao Huan, are you a bully to me?!" ”
The county lord of Jiacheng shouted: "Don't be a coax to me! I have inquired clearly, that Shen Hu has been hidden by you in the mansion, what benefits did you get from him, what did he give you, I will give you back ten times and a hundred times! ”
Her voice was very sweet, like a lark, and even if she shouted in a raised tone, it sounded impossible to be angry, but wanted to hear her say a few more words.
Tian Chu was still unmoved, and said, "I don't know where you inquired about the news, I didn't take in the Shen Hu you said in the mansion." ”
The county lord of Jiacheng said again: "Tian Chu, I beg you, let's have a small friendship, you are helping others now, but you don't help me." ”
"First, I have only met the county lord, and I have met two or three times when I was a child, and I have no friendship; Second, I didn't take in any Shen Hu, and third, although you didn't say it, I already guessed that Zhao Zhu told you? ”
Tian Chu's voice was cold, "Didn't she tell you that I never eat soft and hard?" ”
"Tearing", there was a sound of tearing cloth downstairs, followed by a burst of Sishuo, and soon Zhou Qin heard the slightly smug laughter of the county lord of Jiacheng, her voice was still so sweet, but it made people feel numb when they heard it.
"Tian Duwei, Lord Shizi, if someone comes in at this time, you and I are not dressed properly, what do you think will happen to them?"
Tian Chu did not reply.
Zhao Huan said softly: "Tian Chu, I don't embarrass you, don't embarrass me, you tell me where Shen Hu is hiding, and I promise that nothing will happen today." ”
