At the gate of Qinfu, three carriages were parked in turn, and the people of the family were busy shuttling around the carriage. Xiao Luomei stood aside, guiding the order of placing the utensils for a while, and then instructing her subordinates to be careful with the scrolls in their hands.

Qin Nanxi stood aside, silently looking at the family goods that had been loaded for a long time, and the two brocade carriages commonly used in the house. It wasn't until Xiao Luomei turned to face each other that Shi Shiran made a common salute and asked, "Sister-in-law, what is this doing?" ”

Xiao Luomei greeted her, stretched out her hand and was about to take Qin Nanxi, but suddenly saw the vigilance in her eyes, so she had to withdraw her hand and said gently: "I don't know what your brother did to make such arrangements, he just obeyed orders." Your brother said that the city was scorching and troublesome, so I cleaned up the Zhuangzi outside the city, saying that our family used to live for a few days to escape the heat. ”

Qin Nanxi raised Mei and condensed Xiao Luomei for a moment, and said coldly: "Obey orders? What does sister-in-law mean as a last resort? ”

Xiao Luomei knew that she was talking about fake letters, but she still pretended to be confused: "No, my sister doesn't know, your brother looks very gentle, but in fact, he is stubborn." He ordered me to arrange for everyone to go to the village to escape the summer, what can I say? ”

"How can you withstand the bumps and fatigue of Daddy's illness?" Qin Nanxi had no choice but to change the word, after all, they were her own brother and sister-in-law, even if she knew what they were doing, what could she do?

"Daddy's car has been deliberately added with a lot of bedding and mats, along the way to the car and then go slower, with you and your sister-in-law to take care of, the journey is not very far, it should not be a big problem." Qin Nanfu came out of the door of the mansion, holding a stack of his precious ancient books in his arms, and carefully put them in the carriage, while whispering to Qin Nanxi.

Qin Nanxi greeted him, curtsied, got up, pursed his lips, and stood on one side without saying a word. This was the first time that the Qin brothers and sisters had seen each other since that night outside Ruoshui Nunnery. The thin figure of Qin Nanfu in front of him is gathered in a bamboo green robe, looking like a thin bamboo standing in the wind, weak and weak, but there is a bit of sworn charm.

Qin Nanfu carefully piled up his precious ancient books, and only when they were all placed according to his mind did he turn around and look at Qin Nanxi.

"Nanxi~" He called softly, and there was a strange tone between his lips and teeth that Qin Nanxi couldn't guess.

"Hey, that's it, let's pack up and leave as soon as possible." Qin Nanfu hesitated for a long time, but still swallowed his words, turned around and went to the study.

"Brother!" Qin Nanxi stepped forward casually, waiting for an explanation that her own brother owed her.

Qin Nanfu frowned slightly, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said: "Nanxi, don't worry, wait for this period of time, wait for the dust to settle, and my brother will tell you the twists and turns inside, in short, in short~ You don't have to be ashamed of your brother now!" ”

"What's the dust settled?" Qin Nanxi remained silent, staring at his brother and asking.

Qin Nanfu smiled helplessly at her and shook his head. He could see the knowingly inquiring look in her eyes. At this moment, how could she not know that the "dust settled" in his mouth referred to the new crown prince's enthronement and even accession to the throne?

Qin Nanfu stared at her for a long time, but finally didn't answer her, but instructed in a salty and nonchalant manner: "You take good care of your father for your brother." Brother still has a lot to do at the moment, I'm afraid I can't do filial piety for the time being, so I will have Sister Lao first! With that, he turned around and went into the study, and got busy with himself again.

Qin Nanxi looked at his bamboo back, and could only turn out helplessly.

On the way back, she saw some noble eunuchs' cars and horses constantly going out of the city, and she was still deeply puzzled at that time. At this time, seeing the busy and panicked situation at home, he also understood that his brother was in the center of the storm, and since he had arranged for his family to leave the city, he was afraid that it was more to take refuge than to escape the heat. And the noble eunuchs and family members she saw along the way who rushed out of the city also got some rumors, and would rather believe that they had fled for their lives.

The Qin family's grange is in the west of Chang'an City, where there is a piece of land with mountains and rivers but is very sparse, which is a good place for a large area of wind and water, so that area has always been the gathering place of the other courtyards and granges of the noble eunuchs in the city. The Qin family's grange is the land given by the first emperor, and it is also in a very favorable position. It's just that Qin Zi'an has always been bad at living luxuriously, and he really has no spare money, so the land has always been used only as a grange.

The land of Qinjia Grange is fertile, and it is now in the scorching summer, which is a good season for melons and fruits to hang branches and fish to grow strong. Although the Qin family's grange is surrounded by earthen walls, in the contiguous courtyard of the Guijia in the west of the city, such a green piece is also very different.

There have been no houses on the Grange, and the few wooden houses that have been used for many years are a little old. Fortunately, Xiao Luomei is capable, and she is clean and comfortable to clean up early. Qin Zi'an's father and daughter are not very comfortable people, so when they arrived at the village, the father and daughter did not feel uncomfortable.

Qin Nanxi served Qin Zi'an to take medicine and rest, went out of the room, saw the verdant greenery all around, and on a whim, she took Mama Cheng away, and ordered her family not to follow, and wanted to take a walk by herself.

Although this Zhuangzi is the property of their Qin family, and every day there are people from the house who come here to get vegetables, fruits and aquatic products on the orders of Xiao Luomei, but Qin Nanxi rarely comes here, let alone stays in the village.

The outside of the city was already quiet, and the sky was gradually darkening, Qin Nanxi was immersed in the fragrance of half-ripe vegetables and fruits, and walked slowly along the field, and with a heavy mind, he didn't realize that he was going farther and farther. She didn't notice that the clear sky above her had changed to clouds, and it was only when she heard a few light thunders that she realized that the weather had changed suddenly.

Sure enough, it was the weather in May, the child's face, the dark clouds overhead, just coming, the heavy rain was almost unbearable, Qin Nanxi looked back at the distant house, knowing that he couldn't go back in time. When I was at a loss, I looked up and saw a small wooden house on the edge of the fish pond not far away, standing alone under the dark clouds.

Qin Nanxi immediately rushed to the hut with the corner of her skirt. As soon as his forehead reached under the eaves, the rain was already pouring down behind him.

The cottage was built against the side wall of the village, and although it was made of wooden planks, it was very neatly kept. On the wooden wall hung a robe and a hat, and at the base of the wall was a bed made of wooden planks, and a clean and dry coarse cloth bedding was laid on it. Under the window, there is a small table, on which there are empty candlesticks and a stoneware bowl, and a thin layer of dust has fallen on them, as if no one has been here for some days.

Qin Nanxi swept around, turned around and sat on the collapse, waiting for the rain outside the window to slow down. The fingers behind him subconsciously knocked on the collapsed board. Suddenly, only a "click" was heard, and a collapsed board behind her actually bounced up. When I turned around in shock, I saw that under the erected collapsed slab, there was a deep hole.

The sky outside the window has dimmed a lot, and there is no candle flame in the wooden house, Qin Nan is bold, picks up a stone and gently throws it at the entrance of the cave. I only heard the sound of ticking farther and farther away, and the hole seemed to be a dark passage.......

"Miss! Miss, are you in there? There was a delicate inquiry outside the door.

Qin Nanxi's body was shocked, and his hands immediately pounced on the erected collapsed board, and quickly pressed it back. As soon as she turned around, she saw the powerful little maid beside Xiao Luomei holding an oil-paper umbrella in one hand and a robe in the other, standing at the door, looking at her with suspicion in her eyes.

"With such heavy rain, where can I be if I'm not here?" Qin Nanxi got up, perfunctory the little girl with a cold face, and stood back at the door.

"The young lady was afraid that the young lady would get drenched in the rain, so she sent several people to look for the young lady, but she didn't expect to be found by the slave maid. Miss, let's go back quickly. The little girl put on a robe for Qin Nanxi, and unconsciously glanced at the little wooden collapse again.

"Let's go! It's time for Daddy to wake up, too! Qin Nan walked out of the small door without looking back, but he was quickly thinking about letting Xiao Fei explore this strange secret passage as soon as possible.
