Because of his eagerness and nervousness, Qiu Chen's voice changed, the smile on his face disappeared, his face instantly turned pale, and his gaze staring at Lin Xu was like a sharp blade.

"Sister-in-law? ......" Lin Xu was startled, and when he looked at Qiu Chen's face, he was even more frightened and panicked, and screamed in a trembling voice, but he didn't know what to ask. He went into the barracks with all his might, and said that he stabilized the two stewards, and it could be regarded as sealing the mouths of the two people, so as not to let the secrets of the soap-making workshop leak out of the two people...... All this is for the sake of the Lin family, in order not to let the sister-in-law's hard work be taken away...... Could it be that something is wrong with what he did? Why did my sister-in-law change her face?

Since he knew his sister-in-law, he hasn't seen his sister-in-law like this!

Qiu Chen didn't care what Lin Xu was thinking, reached out and grabbed Lin Xu's arm tightly, his hands were forced, and then asked, "That's what you said?" Did you see King Qi's personal eunuch enter the barracks? ”

Lin Xu was full of panic and puzzlement, but the pain in his arm reminded him how eager and serious his sister-in-law was, and there was no room for him to hesitate, nodding his head again and again, Lin Xu said: "Yes, my brother said so, and my brother saw it with his own eyes, King Qi's personal eunuch led people into the barracks......"

Qiu Chen pushed Lin Xu away, jumped off the kang, his face was bruised, he quickly reached his shoes, and walked out without saying a word.

"Sister-in-law, where are you going? What happened to you? If your brother does something wrong, you can beat and scold you, but don't be angry because of this......" Lin Xu looked at Qiu Chen with a wrong expression, where he dared to let her rush out of the body like this, and without waiting for Qiu Chen to take two steps, he reached out and grabbed Qiu Chen's arm, eagerly explaining.

Qiu Chen blocked his throat in one breath, almost tasted a trace of fishy sweetness, pulled his arm and couldn't break free, he simply turned around and glared at Lin Xu angrily, pointed at the tip of Lin Xu's nose and scolded: "Where are you wrong and don't know what to do?" When you said that to those two people, do you know that you are going to kill them? It's just a soap-making recipe, how many copies have we sold, and where is it worth letting people take their lives? It's just that it's never sold, our only secret recipe, so what? This time, two lives were saved, Qi ...... Since that person has the intention of snatching, will he stop if he does not succeed once? This time we harbored the fugitives, but what about the next time? Will I be charged with a crime? Or, find an excuse to get in the way of your future...... Or, send someone to rob Ah Fu and rob Junyan Junzhang and any of them? When the time comes, I don't care about your life or death, I just hold on to Fang Zi and don't let go? ”

After a big phone call, the anger in Qiu Chen's chest emanated a lot, and he gradually calmed down.

Looking at it again, Lin Xu was stunned by her big call, his face was pale, a layer of cold sweat had appeared on his forehead and sideburns, and his eyes were stunned...... It's still full of horror!

"Second brother! …… Brother Xu...... Asahiko! Qiu Chen screamed a few times in succession, but Lin Xu didn't react, Qiu Chen knew that he was too anxious and powerful, and he frightened a child who had never been in the world. Hurriedly pressed out of his mind for the time being, turned back and pulled Lin Xu to sit on the edge of the kang, and called twice, seeing that Lin Xu still couldn't react, Qiu Chen hurriedly took out a small bottle from the drawer of the kang cabinet, and shook it under Lin Xu's nose.

"Ah...... Sneeze! Lin Xu sniffled and sneezed loudly, and as this sneeze came out, the eyes that had just been stunned came alive again, and after turning around, they fixed on Qiu Chen, looking at Qiu Chen's eyes red all of a sudden, and called in a choked voice: "Sister-in-law...... Little brother, little brother doesn't have a heart......"

Qiu Chen patted Lin Xu's hand, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and Wen Yan said with relief: "Sister-in-law knows that you have good intentions...... But think about it, human life ......"

She wanted to say that human life is the most precious, but the words reached the tip of her tongue and she swallowed them again.

"Think about it, let's not say that these two people died this time, what danger will there be in our family in the future, just talk about this matter. These two people are not only innocent, but they are also diligent and hard-working, otherwise, they would not have been promoted to the stewards of the workshop...... Such two people were wrongly accused of becoming fugitives because of the workshop, and we, as employers, did not say that we tried our best to rescue, but exchanged their lives for the prescription not to be leaked...... If this matter is known, who will follow us sincerely in the future? We are employers, and since we have hired them, we must do our best to maintain them...... Fangzi is dead, but man is alive. People's hearts can still be affected by the gains and losses of the world, not to mention our family? If people's hearts are scattered, not to mention a ditch, even in the flat ground, we can't get up if we fall. ”

Lin Xu gradually regained his clarity, but the paleness on his face did not fade, but because he gradually understood what Qiu Chen meant, there was more guilt and remorse on his face.

"Sister-in-law, now ......"

Qiu Chen didn't let Lin Xu finish speaking, patted his arm and said, "Since this is already the case, don't think too much, let's find a way to make up for it...... Just now, Xu Qianzhi came over to pass the word, saying that he had already obtained the new commander, and he would not hand over those two people to anyone until he figured out the matter. As long as we don't hand over those two people to King Qi's people, we have room to find a way to rescue them......"

Although he comforted Lin Xu like this, Qiu Chen didn't have much confidence in his heart.

If it weren't for Lin Xu's words, those two people might have worked hard to survive because they were wronged, and at this time, those two people would have leaked the criminal law in order to prevent themselves from being unable to stand it...... Then it was too late for anything.

Lin Xu nodded again and again while listening, more anxious than Qiu Chen, before Qiu Chen's words fell, Lin Xu got up and walked out, and said: "Sister-in-law, then I'll go to find Zhishu, if I can't find Zhishu, I'll go to the fourth brother of the Guo family again and ask him to help me deliver a letter inside...... Let's just say I was talking nonsense at the time......"

Qiu Chen laughed a little, but he didn't stop Lin Xu, but walked out with him, and instructed: "When you carried the letter, you said that you had already found a way to save them, and let them do their best to protect themselves from injury." You don't have to wait for those people to be executed, just ask what you want, don't worry about ...... in the workshop."

After a pause at this, Qiu Chen looked at Lin Xu and said: "Actually, what Liu Zhanfeng knows about is only the basic soap-making recipe, which is the one we sold out, and the shower gel and shampoo we are newly preparing to produce don't even know Liu Zhanfeng, so how can those two people know what the Tao is?" It's not worth it for them to die for something that isn't a secret at all. ”

Lin Xu nodded as he walked out quickly. When he walked to the gate and pedaled the horse, Qiu Chen also finished instructing.

Lin Xu sat on the horse's back, pulled the reins of the horse and said to Qiu Chen: "Sister-in-law, go back and rest, I will rush back as soon as possible." ”

At this moment, Qin Li and Shen Hu also recognized the stirrup and got on the horse, followed behind Lin Xu, and hugged their fists at Qiu Chen and said, "Madam, please rest assured, there are our brothers following the second master!" ”

Even if he didn't have much confidence in Lin Xu, with Qin Li and Shen Hu, Qiu Chen basically didn't have too many worries...... Another purpose of letting Qin Li and Shen Hu go over was that she heard that the new commander of Anyang Mansion was also transferred from the northern garrison, and Qin Li and Shen Hu had been Qin Zheng's personal soldiers for many years, and they should be familiar with the generals of the northern frontier army...... If Lin Xu had no way to find the Yun family and the Guo family, with Qin Li and Shen Hu here, maybe he could save the lives of those two people.

Of course, like this, Qiu Chen didn't cover it, but explained it to Qin Li directly, and also confessed: "...... Don't embarrass Master Hou, just hope to save the lives of those two people. ”

In the final analysis, this time Qin Li and Shen Hu came forward to find the new commander of Anyang, and it was Qin Zheng's favor that was sold. Since Qin Zheng's great victory in northern Xinjiang pacified Beirong, he has been quite worried about his meritorious and high masters, and he has not hesitated to hurt himself several times to protect himself, and the difficulty of the situation can be seen. Qiu Chen knew too little about the treacherous situation in the court, and he couldn't see the many obstacles involved. If he insisted on begging the new commander of Anyang to work against Yang Jingyu, the king of Qi, and rehabilitate her soap-making workshop, it was likely to intensify the contradictions between the two sides, thus making Qin Zheng's situation more difficult and dangerous, and Qiu Chen would never be able to do it. But it is much easier to save the lives of the two stewards, and if nothing else, according to the words before the commander, without asking the clear questions and not handing over the people, it can be delayed for a long time...... With this buffer time, Qiu Chen, and even the Yun family and the Liao family, will be able to come up with other ways to turn around.

Seeing Qin Li and Shen Hu escorting Lin Xu and the three of them out of the gate of the Lin family, gradually drowning in the dark night, Qiu Chen turned around and instructed Yu Liang, who was left at home: "I am afraid that I haven't eaten with your second master for most of the day, you hurry up to the kitchen and order some food, go and rest first." When your second master comes back later, you will have the energy to serve. ”

Since Yuliang entered the Lin family, he has gone from being gloomy and unhappy at the beginning to understanding that he really voted for a good family, the master does not beat or scold, he is generous and gentle, has plenty of food and clothing, and can also read and write with the young master...... Over the past year or so, my mind has gradually relaxed, I have eaten well and been nutritious, the little boy has grown up very fast, his height has increased a lot, and the mental outlook of the whole person has changed greatly. If it weren't for the small green coat hat of a servant and replaced with the square scarf that students are used to wearing, he would be a little scholar with clear eyebrows and smart eyes.

Hearing that Qiu Chen was still so concerned at this time, Yu's conscience was also warm, and he hurriedly bowed down and sent Qiu Chen into the second door with the girl's mother-in-law, and then rushed all the way to the big kitchen. Ever since he went out of the morning to this place, he still had a fire with the young master at the beginning of Shen, and when he was reminded by his wife, he felt really hungry.

However, when Yu Liang ran into the big kitchen, took over the meal that had been prepared for him in the kitchen, picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth, Yu Liang remembered his young master...... The young master is the same as him, he just ate a fire at the beginning of Shen, but at this time he hurried out of the door, this time, I don't know when Lu Dao will come back, young master, don't be hungry!

Thinking like this, looking at the golden scrambled eggs in the bowl, he suddenly lost any appetite.

Qiu Chen returned to the room, but his mind followed Lin Xu and the three of them outside, his mind was full of chaos, he was tired as if he had fallen apart, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, he only felt that his forehead was jumping suddenly, and it hurt.

Rubbing his forehead, Qiu Chen didn't force himself to sleep, he simply took out the codex left by Old Man Mu from the kang cabinet and studied it carefully. Although Old Man Mu has a strange temper, he walks a lot of places, and he sees more cases. The old man has a strange temper, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to non-incurable diseases, what can make him record in the codex are naturally some rare diseases...... These are undoubtedly full of novelty and fatal attraction for Qiu Chen, Qiu Chen read two pages and read it, paying full attention to the codex, all kinds of chaotic thoughts in her heart are quiet, and her head doesn't seem to hurt anymore.

Reading books, especially studying attentively, is a very interesting thing, and doing things that are really interesting and full of fun is often the easiest to ignore the loss of time.

Qiu Chen immersed himself in Old Man Mu's codex, and he didn't know how fast time passed, until Qingxing walked in quickly from outside, and reported to Qiu Chen with a happy face: "Madam, the second master is back and has already dismounted in front...... The second master was afraid that you would sleep and disturb you again, so he specially sent someone to ask...... The second master also said that things are going well, and if the wife rests, she doesn't have to get up again. ”

Qiu Chen shook his head amusedly when he heard this, glared at Qing Xing with disgust, and scolded, "Why don't you hurry up and send a message to invite the second master to come in and talk?" You're a girl, you're getting more and more slippery in learning. ”

Qingxing smiled and bent her knees to confess, and said a little coquettishly: "Look at what Mrs. said this, although the slave said that she loved to say that she loved to move a little, she was honest in her heart, when did she slip her head!" ”

"Duh, don't hurry up and spread the word, if you have this kung fu to defend here, it's better to go to the big kitchen and have a look, and let the big kitchen send the second master's dinner directly here......" Speaking of dinner, Qiu Chen also felt empty and a little hungry, so he remembered that he didn't eat lunch, and he only ate a few bites of dinner because Xu Qianzhi and Liu Zhanfeng came back...... After another two or three hours, it was no wonder that he was hungry. So he waved his hand and ordered, "Let the big kitchen see if there is any clear soup, bring me a bowl in, and I'll be hungry." ”

Qingxing didn't continue to play poor this time, and said with a smile on her face: "Some of them, just now the maid went to the kitchen to see it, today not only prepared a clear chicken soup, but also a sea shrimp that just gotten, why don't you make a chicken bean flower for Mrs., and then make a hibiscus shrimp ball?" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and shook his head: "It's been the middle of the night, what are you tossing hibiscus shrimp balls...... Since there are fresh shrimp, let them make a boiled shrimp and send it to you. ”

Qing Xing nodded again and again, and ran out of the house to spread the word and pass the meal.

However, after a cup of tea, Lin Xu walked in from outside, and drank two cups of warm tea before entering the house, and then he felt relieved, sat on the edge of the kang opposite Qiu Chen, and told Qiu Chen about the main experience of this trip.

It turned out that the new commander was really able to handle things, when Lin Xu saw King Qi's personal eunuch outside the barracks, it was not yet dusk, and it was more than an hour in a flash, and the commander was stunned that King Qi's personal eunuch did not make any concessions. People said that if they didn't ask the reason clearly and couldn't find conclusive evidence, he would never hand it over.

King Qi's personal eunuch is used to being domineering on weekdays, so he can say that he doesn't care about this hob-like command, and the big eunuch who was holding back his anger shook off a sentence angrily, "Wait for the prince to come to inquire in person, you have the ability to stand up like this today!" Then, with a handful of men, he returned.

Because of this incident, when Lin Xu dragged the fourth young master of the Guo family back to the barracks together, the two stewards did not add any new injuries, which also gave Lin Xu and the others a chance to change, and they successfully found the hundred households that took them into the camp in the afternoon, and brought in the words that Qiu Chen had instructed. Fortunately, the two stewards had untied their belts and tied them to the lattice...... The letter sent in by Lin Xu dispelled the desire of the two people to die in time, but they were moved to cry bitterly for the master's family.

Hearing Lin Xu say that the commander had broken the face of the big eunuch and protected the two stewards, Qiu Chen was full of relief and felt very ashamed at the same time.

Naturally, she was not so narcissistic as to think that the commander of the previous life was to treat those two stewards well because of her face...... Speaking of which, in the final analysis, it is Qin Zheng's face and favor. She has been personally or indirectly cared for and maintained by Qin Zheng many times, but she has not been able to do anything for Qin Zheng...... This favor has accumulated a lot, and Qiu Chen knows that he can't pay it back, so he simply goes to the end, and if something happens, he should use it.

If you have more debts, you don't have to worry, if you have more lice, you don't have to itch, so why don't you love it!

As he spoke, dinner was brought over from the kitchen, and the chicken bean curd was served for two people, but the boiled shrimp was a large plate.

Qiu Chen cleaned his hands, first peeled a boiled shrimp and put it in Lin Xu's bowl, and asked, "Have you sent some to the two masters of Qin Li and Shen Hu?" ”

Junzi's family replied with a smile at the door: "Don't worry, Mrs., I have already sent the two masters over, and they are all the same as you and the second master...... Oh, I'm afraid that the two masters have a lot of food, and they also sent two catties of mutton and a small pot of haggis soup, as well as a catty of apricot blossom wine...... The two masters were very happy, and said that it was the most enjoyable to eat with their wives, and the dishes chosen by their wives must be the most delicious. ”

Qiu Chen smiled and shook his head: "They mean I'm a foodie!" Where's the ...... of what is the good word?"

For a moment, the room swept away the previous gloom and cold depression, and a cheerful and joyful laughter sounded.

Lin Xu also changed his previous anxiety, eating chicken bean flowers with a smile on his face, and said with a vague smile: "What Master Qin and Master Shen said was originally right, the sister-in-law's craftsmanship in cooking is superb, and the dishes selected are naturally much better than others...... Let's just say that this shrimp, the most common thing to see on weekdays is either shrimp balls or oil cooking, but my sister-in-law asked for a boil, which is much fresher than those practices when it took a lot of effort......"

------Off topic------

I wrote this before midnight, so let's look at it first......
