Chapter 231: Encountering a Scandal
"That being the case, after this, I am not in the village, you two weak women, who raised you in the village, how did you get to this capital, from the southwest to the east, the road is difficult and dangerous, and how do you ......!" How can I get to this capital and finally get to this Hou Mansion, and then find him-!
Tonight, a qiΔ simply can't be described as a coincidence
This Qin Zhun has a lot to ask now.
Qin Mo sneered, her eyes seemed to have a sense of mockery, her eyes were burning, and she looked at Qin Zhun.
Zhu lips opened lightly, and under his eyes, in addition to mockery, there was a little more coldness for a moment.
"Since there are so many questions, Master Hou is here today to make things clear-!"
What she meant was that today she came to this Hou Mansion rashly, and it was originally an invitation from the county lord to celebrate the birthday of the son of the former loyal Shun Hou, but it happened that father and daughter met and knew each other, but this is still in the Hou Mansion, I don't know if this county lord knows about the first half of this father's body.
If you don't know, now that you know, will you have an opinion about your father?
Although this was his father's betrayal of them first, Qin Mo was still willing to leave room for him at this moment.
"Okay!" This Qin Zhun also immediately agreed, Qin Mo understood what he meant, today happened to be the birthday of the prince, and there were still many guests outside who had not dispersed, if outsiders found out, it would not be good for his reputation.
"Five days later, in the Wanhua Pavilion on the outskirts of the capital, before you come out, I will make a secret appointment with you, and then you will come by yourself-!"
Qin Mo nodded, and replied, "Okay!" β
"There are a lot of people today, you will go out later, go through the corner gate on the southwest side, don't let them find you, and it is safe to walk over there!"
Qin Mo also replied: "I know-!" β
Then, Qin Mo left, since Qin Zhun said to let her go to the southwest, she came out of the study and walked straight towards the southwest, there are quiet corridors on that side, there are indeed few people, there is a road, which leads straight to the corner door.
In fact, Qin Mo didn't want others to know about her relationship with this Hou Mansion now.
I can't say why, I just don't want to.
*
Coming out of the corner gate alone, Qin Mo had to go to the front, because the carriage was parked there.
At night, I saw a carriage, two red lanterns lit up in front of the carriage, leaning in front of a quiet nightshade, Qin Mo smelled the cold dew aroma, and knew that it was late at night.
Drive back.
After going back, the lantern in front of the Qin Mansion was still on.
There was a small servant guarding the door, Qin Mo asked the coachman to park the horse in the stable, and asked Gui'er to fetch water for washing himself, and he carried the lantern step by step in the corridor, thinking about today's things, his heart was always chaotic, and the direction of the walk was a little aimless, just passing through the East Chamber, Qin Mo suddenly remembered that he saw the hydrangeas in the Hou Mansion today, and the lilacs in the Hou Mansion also bloomed, so only this East Chamber had it, so, at this time, he took advantage of this lantern to take a look.
It also happened to pass by the room of the two Qin family sons in the east chamber, and Qin Mo also went all the way to see if they were sleeping.
happened to pass by the door of the eldest prince Qin Rui.
Qin Mo saw that the light was still on inside, but he didn't fall asleep, his footsteps paused at the door, and he was about to knock on the door
I happened to hear a slight wheezing sound inside, but it didn't sound so distinct because it was far away.
Qin Mo didn't know what was going on, he thought that the person inside was sick, raised his hand, and was about to knock on the door, when he heard a woman's voice inside, it was very clear, and he could hear it as soon as he heard it.
"We've been here for so long, when did you tell the lord of the house to marry me as a person in the house, the woman's family is always so nameless and pointless, my innocence has been given to you, what are you still worried about-!"
Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, she suddenly remembered this voice, yes, this is the personal maid who waited by Qin Rui's side that day, called Hongying.
That was Qin Mo who was afraid that this Qin Rui would be weak in the mansion, so he bought this girl and became his personal maidservant, hoping that he could live a comfortable life in this house.
Looking at it today, he actually received all his heart.
And it's overreceived.
As soon as the red warbler's words fell, he immediately heard a male voice again, with a slight wheezing in his voice, and Qin Mo knew that the wheezing sound just now came from here.
She stood at the door, and suddenly saw this, which was too different from her usual living habits, and she was also a woman, not only ashamed at the moment, but also a little palpitating.
That Qin Rui said, the dumb male voice.
"Don't worry, now I still live dependent on the two sisters of the Qin family, without my sister, I am nothing now, I said that if I marry you, I will marry you, now their two sisters are in our Qin family, the family is the only one, although my parents are their aunts and uncles, but they are helpless, but no matter what, these two sisters are going to marry in the end, since they are married, such a big estate is left, they have no male in the second room, we are a big house, I am the boss of our family, in the end, this last family property is still inherited by me, when the time comes, Are you afraid that you won't be able to enjoy the blessings? β
The man didn't know what he had done in it.
"Hee-hee!" The teasing woman laughed coquettishly.
"To tell you the truth, from the time I entered the house, I looked, your eldest sister is still good, her temperament is stable, capable, beautiful, and she doesn't seem to have any temper, if she is not from the same clan as you, if she marries, the person she marries will be blessed-!"
"Hey!" The man gasped again, "You also think that my eldest sister is beautiful, and those who have seen her face in person are almost all fascinated, but she is such a cold temperament, she is completely incomprehensible, and no man will eat it-!" β
"In fact, being beautiful can really make people think about it, not to mention other men, it's my cousin, I love it when I see it, but she can't like me, since I was a child, she has been cold to me since she was a child, and she looks like she is high, and she is annoyed when she sees too much, and there is no possibility between us-!"
"You-!" The woman smiled coquettishly, "It's just a mix with us, look at your useless appearance, besides me, which other woman originally intended to follow you-!" β
The man laughed in a low and affectionate voice, "So, I love you, haha!" β
"Hate-!"
"Hee-hee!"
Qin Mo knew what kind of scene was still in the door at the moment, but she didn't bother to go in.
In that case, let him like it.
Qin Mo picked up the lamp and went to see the lilacs that night, but in the end, he had something in his heart, and looking at the flowers was just to pass the loneliness.
The next day, Xiangxiang got up early in the morning, Xiao Tao made breakfast, Qin Mo had no appetite, and only rubbed on the bed and refused to get up.
Just thinking about it, I saw Xiangxiang wearing a bright red satin jacket and dangling in front of me.
Qin Mo saw that the clothes she was wearing were pretty, and she was also pretty, so she had to tease her.
It's still the same as when I was a child, I like to make trouble and like to be coquettish.
"My sister asked me to learn to manage the accounts, I will learn to manage with Brother Wenyu today, Brother Wenyu is very good at managing accounts, Xiangxiang has seen it with her own eyes, my sister may not be as powerful as him.
Qin Mo smiled, "You girl, if you like it, you can like it, why did you pull me in-!" β
Seeing that Xiangxiang didn't speak, he joked again, "Since you like him so much, then my sister is in charge, how about marrying you to him-!"
What surprised Qin Mo was that at this moment, Xiangxiang just put her hand against her cheek, but she didn't refute.
She should have heard that Qin Mo was making fun of her, but strangely she didn't refute it.
Qin Mo thought to himself, this little girl's mind was also strange......
That day, after Xiangxiang said good things about Sima Wenyu in front of Qin Mo at noon, she went over in the afternoon.
went to Sima Wenyu's West Chamber, and never came back.
When it was time for dinner, I saw her biting her fingers and coming towards this backyard.
Xiangxiang likes Sima Wenyu so much, but it makes Qin Mo feel a little abnormal, that Sima Wenyu's behavior is always very treacherous, a month, almost twenty-eight days in the mansion, there must be a day or two to go out, and when he goes out, he will come back in a short time, and every time Qin Mo sends someone to lose.
His true identity is a mystery.
*
Two days later, Qin Mo invited Sima Wenyu to the inner hall.
That Sima Literature, sure enough, is a clean and graceful body, when Qin Mo saw that he was called, he looked calm, dressed in a lake blue robe, and the person was as clear as jade, and he had a sense of spaciousness.
Qin Mo couldn't help but wonder if Xiangxiang really liked him.
"I don't know what the National Teacher is looking for me-!"
This person approached and first gave Qin Mo a big gift.
"Forget it, don't pretend, sit down-!"
Qin Mo sat on the ground, holding the chess piece in his hand, and the position on the other side was naturally reserved for Sima Wenyu.
"This official asked you to play chess, naturally he didn't want Sima Gongzi to bury his head in the account book every day, it was too hard, and it was good to come out occasionally to relax and relax-!"
Qin Mo held the sleeve of his other hand with one hand and began to fall.
"Since it was the National Teacher who asked me to play chess, then why did you settle first, I don't know that in addition to growing food, watching the celestial phenomena and watching the solar terms, the National Teacher can also write, play chess, and chant poetry, and he is really an all-rounderββ!"
Qin Mo was blocked by him, so he had to take back the chess piece he had landed.
"The National Teacher obviously said that he was looking for me to drink tea, but he arranged the chessboard, and he clearly said that it made me relax, but he took such a brain-hurting thing, and the National Teacher always talked about it, and the little ones didn't know how to deal with it-!"
"Don't be flattering, I'm honest, I'm not good at chess, or rather, I don't know how to play chess at all, I'm just using it for your amusement!"
"Well, then, you still bring the chessboard!"
"You'll just have to go!" Qin Mo said in a light tone.
Sima Wenyu's expression was stunned for a moment, and after half a moment, he picked up a chess piece and said loudly
"So what the hell are you looking for the little one to come out today-!"
"I-!" Qin Mo raised his head: "Why don't you just confess your identity to me!" β
That Sima Wenyu, a chess piece was decided, only then did he raise his face, concentrate, and look guarded, "What do you mean-!" β
"You come in. I didn't say who I was, and I didn't ask much, in the end, you're just a bookkeeper, but now, my sister likes you very much! β
The man stared at Qin Mo intently, his tone was slightly light, and the tail note was lightly plucked, "You said Miss Xiangxiang-!" β
Qin Mo raised his eyes and took a serious look at him, only to see that the handsome facial features, especially the thin lips like cherry blossoms, looked really not annoying.
"Miss Xiangxiang likes me, it's just the worship of the little girl, are you, who are a sister, even worry about such a little thing-!"
Qin Mo said in a light tone: "I'm taking precautions!" β
After speaking, another chess piece was installed.
"Oh, I understand, the national teacher said to play chess with me today, I thought it was this score on the chess game, it turned out, or step by step in my heart for something else-!"
"I only have this one sister, I have to put her first in everything, I know, the son may not have this feeling, but I'm afraid that my stupid sister will be deeply trapped, the feelings of the little daughter's family, say small is small, say big and big, women are not better than men, so I'm afraid that my little sister will suffer in the future-!"
"So, the National Teacher invited me here today, and said these truths, and why in the end-!"
"Since you have no intention, I believe you have no intention, it's just that my little sister likes to bother you too much, I sent someone to check your bottom, but, unfortunately, nothing was found out, I don't cling to this, I just hope that you will stay away from my little sister in the future, or deliberately cold to her, no matter how hot her temperament is, cold and cold, she won't like it, you know what I mean-!"
Sima Wenyu stood up, threw down the chess piece, and bowed himself
"I understand-!"
Qin Mo nodded.
"Then let's stop playing this chess, I don't think the national teacher seems to have any intention of fiddling with it-!"
Qin Mo bowed his head and said lightly, "Look at the son's -!" β
*
Since then, Sima Wenyu still lives in the mansion, but he just moved out of the West Chamber and lives in a relatively remote courtyard.
Qin Mo's words, it seems that he still understands them.
No matter how far away, Xiangxiang would still look for it as before, but many times, Qin Mo watched her improvise and finally came back in a huff.
In this way, there were fewer and fewer places to go to Sima Wenyu's residence, and Qin Mo felt that this was a good phenomenon.
*
It just so happened that day, Qin Mo bumped into Qin Rui and Hongying, the two of them, and they didn't know that Qin Mo knew about them, on this day, when the two of them were called over by Qin Mo, their faces were a little uneasy, especially that Qin Rui.
Qin Mo set up a place outside his room and saw these two people.
The red warbler, who was suddenly called over by Qin Mo like this, looked terrified, only trembling, didn't know what was going on, and after saluting Qin Mo, he stood there beside the curtain, hand in hand.
Qin Rui came in later, and only stood behind the door, a few feet away from Qin Mo.
Qin Mo just sat on the bed and smiled.
Seeing the red warbler standing beside him without saying a word, and only burying his head, he seemed to be very afraid of himself.
Qin Mo pulled her closer.
He stroked his hand carefully and looked at her.
"Your name is Red Oriole, and you've been in the house for two years!"
Qin Mo smiled.
The red warbler was frightened and immediately broke free of Qin Mo's hand and performed a half-squat salute
"It's been two years, my lord!"
Qin Mo pondered carefully, picked up the tea in his hand, and didn't wait to unveil it, just nodded after a while
"Well, I bought it shortly after the establishment of the mansion, and it's been two years-!"
After a pause, Qin Mo said again
"I've heard that you like my cousin very muchβ!"
"Smack!" The red warbler's frightened body shrank, the whole person's face turned pale suddenly, his legs fell down as soon as he softened, and then his eyes were raised, and he was full of panic
"Slaves don't dareβ!"
The red warbler was so frightened that the whole person softened.
Qin Moci's eyebrows went down, his elbows rested on the side of the table, and he smiled again
"Don't be nervous, I'll ask like this, I also heard the maids in the house talk about it occasionally the day before yesterday, if it's true that you have affection for my cousin, my cousin is also interested in you, my cousin's parents are in the country, I can help you ask my brother's parents, my aunt and uncle, if they agree, they will give you back your freedom, and you will be fulfilled-!"
The red warbler, whose body was still frightened, trembled and shrunk, and tears came out of his eyes, but he didn't want Qin Mo to say this, and for a while, he was shocked.
For a moment, he opened his slightly red and swollen lips because of the teeth he had bitten just now, and there was suspicion in his eyes.
"Is what you just said true?"
Qin Mo smiled, "Why, don't believe it-!" β
At this moment, Qin Mo looked at her carefully, she was wearing a water-red satin today, with green pants underneath, her facial features were average, but her skin was still white, and she could still pass the eyes, but unfortunately, this cousin was so good.
"It's not that the little ones don't believe it, it's just ......!"
said so, but the red warbler bit her lip again and didn't say anything.
"I also listened to what the maids said, you are also a maid bought in my house, I can still call the shots in life, if you and my cousin are really in love, you should have come to sue me as soon as possible, what is it to sneak around, you don't have to lose the innocence of your daughter's family-!"
As soon as it came to innocence, the red warbler's head hung down, and Qin Mo saw that half of her face was slightly red.
"Your Excellency...... My lord...... Can you really make decisions for us? After a while, it seemed that she had finally broken through the woman's heart, and the red warbler knelt down in front of Qin Mo's heels step by step, looking pitiful, bursting into tears, with a distressing and pitiful look.
Qin Mo let her cry and pull the corners of her skirt, and did not respond directly.
"If you really tell the truth, I will naturally consider it, and then my aunt and uncle will have a chance to speak!"
The red warbler was stunned for a long time, and finally, crying, as if about to roar out, grabbed the corner of Qin Mo's skirt.
"Your Excellency...... My lord...... The eldest young master and I are really in love with each other! β
The maid shouted out this sentence, and Qin Rui, who had been bowing his head behind the curtain and hanging his head silently, suddenly raised his head at this moment and glanced over here.
After so much time, Qin Mo looked up at his cousin again, his height had grown, and his clothes were also brocade clothes, but he couldn't get rid of the smell of cowardice and humility.
Thanks to her taking him into Beijing, she still hasn't lost any knowledge.
Qin Mo heard the red warbler crying, and then turned his head to look at Qin Rui, who was standing not far away and bowed his head, and only said softly
"Brother, is that so, Hongying said that you and her are in love, but like this-?!"
That Qin Rui heard Qin Mo ask her, and turned his head to look at the red warbler who was kneeling here crying and talking, with a look of embarrassment and hesitation on his face, Qin Mo looked at him for a long time.
Finally, he couldn't hide from Qin Mo's eyes.
I can only flick my hand and wave it away impatiently
"She took the initiative to get close to me, she's just a maid, what's there to like or dislike-!"
