Chapter Seventy-Three: A Letter from Home

He Suyu never dreamed that He Yaqing would take the silver for this purpose, recalling the words she said in front of Zhou Qin, she couldn't help but secretly complain, so she had to say: "This is not a bad thing, why bother the third brother to hide it, it makes me nervous, and I think you have some ghost outside......

He Yaqing smiled bitterly: "What is there to say, I gave it secretly, and I was afraid that he would find out." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Inexplicably, he felt a little bitter in his mouth.

Pulling out such a large sum of money in one go, how could he not be selfish.

Although he loves to play and make trouble, he is not ignorant of the world, and naturally understands that if he is according to the eyes of ordinary people, he is no better than those scholars who are dedicated to studying.

He wanted Zhou Yanzhi to know that although he didn't like to study, he was no worse than others. At least in terms of Qian Mi, he has the ability to support the door alone, and he will never be like those who have nothing to do if they leave the family, nor will he be like those nerds who can only read with a clean sleeve.

It's just that now that he is being stirred up by his sister, what is the use of Zhou Yanzhi looking at him differently.

He thought of what his sister said, "Aunt Xian said, 'You are used to seeing affairs outside'", and suddenly felt that all his hard work had been put to waste.

He Suyu naturally couldn't guess what her brother was thinking, she had listened to it for a long time, and she had already believed most of it, but there was still one thing that was very puzzled: "Then what's going on with this purse......"

I don't know which lady's hair and nails are there.

She will suspect that He Yaqing has made a big mistake outside, and the biggest reason is that she has seen this ambiguous purse.

He Yaqing was in a very low mood, and he was about to shake his head and say that he didn't know, when suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, and he was stunned on the spot.

He couldn't care about being sad, and said to He Suyu: "I'll go out." ”

After finishing speaking, he took the purse and was about to leave.

He Suyu hurriedly stopped him and said, "What's the matter, I ran out without saying anything, how can you make me believe that you are not messing around outside!" ”

"Don't make a fuss!" He Yaqing was a little uneasy, "I'll tell you when I come back, I'm not sure yet." ”

After saying that, he immediately went out.

He Suyu couldn't keep him, and thought that he had asked Zhou Qin to find Xu Yun, so he had to stomp his feet and call someone to set up a carriage to go to the Protector's Mansion.

Zhou Qin listened to her relay on the way to Xu's house.

He Suyu didn't dare to tell her that the money was given to Zhou Yanzhi, and only vaguely said that the money was taken by He Yaqing and lent to her classmates.

"Third Brother He estimates that he is really fine." Zhou Qin pondered for a moment, and was a little unsure, "It's just that the purse really doesn't make sense...... Let's let Xu Yun help ask, maybe she has some clues over there. ”

Since playing polo together, they have often had contact with Xu Yun, Xu Yun doesn't talk much when she sees people, but after getting acquainted, she also likes to talk and laugh, and she is a good character to make friends.

Zhou Qin and the others entered Xu Yun's boudoir and were about to greet her, but when they saw her, they were very surprised, "What's the matter?" The face is so bad! ”

Xu Yun smiled reluctantly and said, "I had an illness a while ago, and I didn't think it was all good. ”

He Suyu complained: "If you are sick, you won't tell us, no wonder I said that you have no news at all." ”

Xu Yun said embarrassedly: "It's not a serious illness, so I didn't say anything about it." ”

As he spoke, he asked the two of them to sit down, and ordered the girl to serve tea.

The three of them chatted for a few words, and He Suyu thought of a reason to cover up the matter and said, "I want you to do me a favor and ask Brother Xu if there is anything wrong with my third brother in the school recently." ”

Zhou Qin covered on the side, "Su Su's father recently examined his homework and found that Third Brother He was in a very bad state, and the family was worried that the old professors in the clan studies would be embarrassed to sue, so they blindly indulged him, and it was not good to ......ask him directly."

If you ask directly, you will be suspected of questioning the style of ethnic studies, and it is not very good-looking after all.

Xu Yun said: "I'm really embarrassed, my eldest brother has contracted the wind and cold, and he hasn't been to the school for more than half a month, let me ask my second brother." ”

As long as He Suyu heard the news, it didn't matter who he asked, so he hurriedly thanked him.

She heard that Xu Jinze was not in good health, and asked, "Why is it not good for half a month, does it matter?" ”

Xu Yun hesitated for a while, perfunctory.

He Suyu wanted to ask again, but Zhou Qin gently pulled his sleeves and stopped with interest.

Zhou Qin saw Xu Yun's absent-minded appearance today, and he didn't want to bother her anymore, so he found a reason to leave with He Suyu.

After returning to the carriage, Zhou Qin said to He Suyu: "Let's not come here for a while, I want to come to their house for something." ”

He Suyu was just rough, but not stupid, he quickly reacted, nodded and said, "I didn't pay attention to it just now......"

The two of them had their own things on their minds, and they didn't talk much all the way.

When they were separated, Zhou Qin told her: "If there is any news, notify me as soon as possible, and I can rest assured." ”

He Suyu should be.

When I got back to the house, a little girl came and said, "Girl, the old lady invites you over." ”

Old Madam Zhao came back early today, and when she saw Zhou Qin coming, she hurriedly beckoned her to sit down.

Zhou Qin saw that she couldn't lift her spirits, so he asked playfully: "Grandmother went to the Hou Mansion to eat and listen to the play today, is it fun?" ”

Old Madam Zhao was not very interested, and replied, "It's just to pass the time." ”

She sighed, pointed to the letterhead on the table, and said, "I just received your uncle's letter, take a look." ”

Zhou Yan's family letters have always been frequent, and he usually followed the stagecoach over, but recently, because there were many things to do in the Protector's Mansion, he specially ordered people to send letters back and forth, and he said many words directly.

Zhou Yan first greeted his mother's body as usual, the daily homework of his nephews and nieces, and then talked about the scenery of the Northland, all of which were not very important.

Later, he seemed to talk about the war in Cochin, and his worries about the border were revealed between the lines. Zhou Yan has always been cautious in his speech, and he rarely comments on things that he is not sure of. However, in the letter, he not only expressed pessimism about the war in Yongzhou, but also felt that it was difficult to say whether there would be any mistakes in Guizhou.

After reading the letter, Zhou Qin said: "Uncle also asked us not to comment on the war outside, saying that it is estimated that it will be bad this time...... But my brother ......."

The border is far away, and no matter how smooth Zhou Yan is, he can't help but lag behind when he receives the news. He thought that he had only heard that Jiaozhi had committed the border again, but he had not learned the battle report of the loss of Yongzhou. But with his keen military instincts, he had already inferred from all indications that the battle was different from the usual.

Zhou Qin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Originally, the Protectorate Mansion would not have anything to do with Jiaozhi anyway, but who would have thought that the little emperor would suddenly cause such a thing.
