Chapter 14: The Coachman

Early in the morning, Lin Qing was woken up by a knock on the door. casually wore a green gauze coat, quickly rolled up a cloud bun, inserted a peach hairpin obliquely, and hurriedly washed up, and then opened the door angrily. saw Zhao Mingsong standing outside the door with a red face like a child who had done something wrong.

"Miss Xiaoqing, Zhang's mansion sent someone to pick you up and take you home."

Lin Qing was stunned for a long time before he figured out that the Zhang Mansion in his mouth belonged to Zhang Ziyan's family, but he couldn't figure it out the next second. She had already broken off relations with Zhangfu a few days ago, why would anyone take her back to Zhangfu? Could it be ......

Lin Qingdang even began to walk out. When it comes to Zhang's Mansion, there is only one person she can think of.

Zhao Mingsong seemed to be frightened by her, and walked out with her behind her in a daze. Today, he also has something important to go to the Zhang Mansion to meet Xu Huiping, the mother of the Zhang Mansion, and it seems that he is also on the way with Lin Qing at this moment.

"Miss Lin." The young man who was waiting outside the door saw the two of them come out, and a happy love appeared on his face. After inviting Lin Qing and Zhao Mingsong to get into the carriage, they sat on the horses and started to catch up. Goodbye, he is white-skinned and handsome, and his green clothes are elegant, but he doesn't look like a coachman.

"But what happened to Ziyan?" Lin Qing was worried, Ziyan and her have always been like sisters, that girl has always been kind and weak, but don't have an accident!

The second lady was imprisoned in the ancestral hall. Madame lost a golden hairpin, but it was found in the second lady's Shenyan Pavilion, and now I am afraid that it is ......"

"What! That old thing, while I'm not there, dares to bully Ziyan like this! Lin Qing was so angry that he jumped to his feet, but he didn't dare to vent because Zhao Mingsong was sitting next to him. Brother Zhao, what are you doing with you? ”

Zhao Mingsong was a little embarrassed, and only said after a while: "Since you call me Brother Zhao, I can't care about your affairs!" ”

What kind of logic is this? Besides, didn't you want me to shout that Brother Zhao? Lin Qing only felt that his heart was getting more and more depressed, this Zhao Mingsong's face changed faster than turning a book! The first time I saw her, I pinched her wrist vigorously, and then sent someone to arrest her, but now I put on the appearance of a big brother to take care of her business? If it weren't for the sake of the emperor's edict, Lin Qingzhen would have kicked him off the carriage at this moment.

With a 'hoo', Zhang's house arrived. The sun hangs steadily in the sky, and the Zhang Mansion under the sun is magnificent.

"This little brother, what's your name?" Lin Qing suddenly asked. This young man invited her to come because of Ziyan, and the relationship with Ziyan was not simple.

"Zhang Miaosheng." Without extra greetings, Zhang Miaosheng turned around and left. Lin Qing didn't care about the others, lifted the corner of his skirt and rushed straight to the ancestral hall of Zhangfu. She was only afraid that it would be later, and Zhang Ziyan didn't know what to toss the two evil women in Zhang's mansion intos!

"Hey......" Zhao Mingsong followed her and began to run forward, this girl's speed is really fast!

Walking to the ancestral hall, the sharp-eyed Lin Qing saw Zhang Ziyan kneeling in front of the spirit card at a glance. When I got closer, I realized that her face was unusually pale, and beads of sweat were oozing from her face.

"What's going on?" Lin Qing was furious, grabbed a little maid's collar and asked.

The little maid was probably shocked by her fierce appearance, and she couldn't speak for a while.

"Yo, who should I be, it turns out that this 'first-class' maid who doesn't know how to be polite!" Zhang Qiuli was wearing a rose-colored flower-sprinkled crepe skirt, and the peonies at the corners of the skirt were blooming, and she was extravagant. At this moment, she was squinting at Lin Qing, and her eyes revealed undisguised resentment.

Lin Qing didn't look at her, and helped Zhang Ziyan, who was kneeling on the ground, up.

"You!" Zhang Qiuli was angry that Lin Qing didn't put herself in her eyes, but she didn't have the slightest way to take her, so she had to set her eyes on Xu Huiping, who had never spoken. "Mother, look at this stinky girl, what kind of bullying her daughter she has become! Mother, you have to make decisions for me......"

Xu Huiping is old, but she does not look old because of proper maintenance. She just sat quietly on the side, her eyes casually swept over everyone, but stopped at Lin Qing.

Lin Qing was a little uncomfortable by her gaze, but it was difficult for him to speak.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Miss Lin's deed of sale is still well received in Zhang's Mansion. As a maid of Zhangfu, what attitude should you have towards the master, I guess you don't need me to teach you. Xu Huiping opened her mouth indifferently, but she said it reasonably, and Lin Qing had no way to refute it.

"I ...... I don't care about the deed of sale. The surging momentum of Shicai suddenly became a lot shorter, and Lin Qing's voice was unconsciously lowered.

"That's it, you don't pee like yourself, after all, you're still a nasty billet, and you dare to be so disrespectful to Miss Ben!" The picture of being slapped by Lin Qing last time is vivid, and the anger in Zhang Qiuli's heart is becoming more and more difficult to calm.

Realizing that there were still outsiders present, Xu Huiping couldn't help coughing, and complained in her heart that Zhang Qiuli's words were vulgar, and she didn't look like everyone was beautiful. But when he caught a glimpse of Zhao Mingsong in the corner of his eye, he smiled like a flower for a moment, and asked Zhao Mingsong softly, "Who is this son?" ”

Zhao Mingsong suddenly felt embarrassed, but in the end, he was the chief catcher of one side, and he soon regained his usual cold and strict appearance. "Down is the chief catcher of Muhe Town, Zhao Mingsong."

"It turned out to be Zhao Zhutou." Xu Huiping smiled indifferently, but she had another calculation in her heart. Today, she finally found Zhang Ziyan's mistake and pressed her into the ancestral hall, originally planning to torture her, but unexpectedly, Lin Qing suddenly returned to the house, with Zhao Mingsong by his side. She couldn't be too obvious in front of outsiders, so as not to tell the truth, but she couldn't swallow the stuffy breath in her chest. The current plan is to drive this unsightly outsider out of Zhang's Mansion as soon as possible.

"I don't know if Zhao Zhutou has something important to do when he comes to this mansion?"

Zhao Mingsong saw the intention of evicting customers in Xu Huiping's eyes, but pretended not to know. only said: "There is indeed something important, I don't know Mrs. Zhang, do you know that your father Xu Huan was killed?" ”

"Nature knows...... No! Xu Huiping's face immediately turned pale, and she was so shocked that she broke the tea cup in her hand.

Xu Huan is old, and there is nothing surprising about dying at this time, the blame is that he died of poisoning, and there are many wounds on his body, his methods are sharp, and his death is terrifying.

Originally, Xu Huan's death was not worth concealing, but Xu Huan used to be an important minister of the former dynasty and held many secrets of the DPRK and China in his hands, and his death was obviously deliberately done by someone, and this matter is not trivial. If it is used by someone with a heart, it is very likely to set off a monstrous wave!

But paper can't contain fire after all, and it's impossible to hide this matter from everyone's eyes. Two days have passed, Xu Huan's body has still not been buried, and his relatives and friends have been warned to keep the news tightly sealed. As far as Zhao Mingsong knows, no news has reached Zhang's mansion, so how did Xu Huiping know?

Zhao Mingsong's eyes were like torches, staring at Xu Huiping. If it is an ordinary person, it may feel uncomfortable, but after all, Xu Huiping was the daughter of the official family and the housewife of the Zhang family for many years, although she was stirred by Zhao Mingsong's gaze, her face was silent.

"How did you learn about Lord Xu's death?" Zhao Mingsong's voice was not loud, but it had a fierce momentum, which made people fearful.

Xu Huiping's kind face seemed to have a crack. "This ......"

Zhao Mingsong smiled, this smile looked light at first glance, and it made people's hearts palpitate when they looked closely. The people present couldn't help but sigh: "It is worthy of being the chief catcher of Muhe Town!" ”

"Lord Xu is resting in the mansion, why does Mrs. Zhang say that she knows that he is dead? Could it be ......"

"No, no, no, I didn't ......" As if thinking of something, Xu Huiping suddenly covered her vermilion lips with her hand. She seems to have forgotten something very important!

Lin Qing wondered on the side, what was going on, he actually scared Xu Huiping, a smiling tiger, into a rage?

Zhang Qiuli didn't take Zhao Mingsong in her eyes, but when she saw that he just said a few words to Xu Huiping, she was frightened, and gradually retracted her delicate look, and shifted her gaze to Xu Huiping, who was stiff.

The girls and mothers-in-law of Zhang's mansion lowered their heads one by one, just as if they didn't see or hear anything. Zhang Ziyan was helped by Lin Qing to sit on the pear blossom wooden chair, the tears on his face did not disappear, and he didn't dare to say anything when he saw the solemn atmosphere in the ancestral hall.

The white-faced coachman in the dark hooked his lips and smiled, silently making his own calculations. Xu Huiping is only afraid of a big deal this time. That stupid and brainless Zhang Qiuli can't become a climate, and the eldest lord Zhang Jingde is a non-director, so from now on, this mansion is only afraid of Zhang Ziyan's world!

"Mrs. Zhang, please come along. You father and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time, don't let Lord Xu wait for a long time. Zhao Mingsong's words were yin and yang, and others didn't think there was anything wrong, but Xu Huiping was so frightened that the blood on her face faded as if she had seen a demon or a monster, and her body fell straight down.

A group of girls and mothers-in-law rushed up in an instant, some shouted loudly, and some were in a hurry. But it was Zhang Qiuli who shouted, "Don't move!" "Stabilized the situation.

saw her slowly stretch her hand under Xu Huiping's nose, and was relieved to see that she was still angry, and shouted again: "Call the doctor." ”

Lin Qing was confused by the situation in front of him, and suddenly that annoying old woman Xu fainted like this? On the contrary, Zhang Qiuli, who is usually the most unobtrusive straw bag, stabilized the scene. raised his head to look at Zhao Mingsong, but he was like a colleague who didn't care about himself.

"Xiaoqing, I ......" Zhang Ziyan, who had never made a sound, was as pale as snow, and his body fell down softly, and he was weak to speak at this time, as beautiful and fragile as a butterfly with folded wings.

Seeing her like this, a sense of pity rose in Lin Qing's heart. Ziyan is gentle and cowardly, and it is normal for him to be frightened when he encounters such a scene. But unexpectedly, the white-faced coachman who had a relationship with each other before rushed out at this time.

"Smoke!" He exclaimed under his breath.

Fortunately, the attention of the girls and the mother-in-law had already been diverted by Xu Huiping, and no one paid attention to the strange appearance of the coachman.

Apart from......

Lin Qing raised his head, but saw Zhang Qiuli's gaze lingering between Ziyan and the coachman. She secretly said in her heart that it was not good, this Qiu Li had never been waiting to see Ziyan, and she was unhappy to find Ziyan if she had nothing to do. Anyone can see that the relationship between Ziyan and the coachman is extraordinary, and Zhang Qiuli, will she seize this opportunity to embarrass Ziyan?

However, Zhang Qiuli looked at it for a while and then turned her gaze away, as if she didn't see anything.

Lin Qing felt a little puzzled in his heart, this Zhang Qiuli, I don't know what kind of calculation he is making? But Lin Qing, who was thinking about it carefully, had an idea in her heart, no matter what crooked thoughts Zhang Qiuli had in her mind, she didn't want to hurt Ziyan!
