Chapter Seventy-Nine: What is the Origin?
The next day, although he did not go to the city tower to see him off, thinking that the recruits he brought out were about to go to suppress the bandits, Xie Ning was also in a very comfortable mood.
For this army of 300 bandits, Xie Ning was full of confidence. At the critical juncture when the Hou Mansion kept a distance from Qin Feng, she also wanted to sneak a look at everyone, but after Qin Feng's reminder yesterday, she dispelled this idea - if she was wearing men's clothes, it was difficult to guarantee that she would not be recognized by everyone and disturb the morale of the army; If she was wearing women's clothes, it would not be a good thing to be discovered by Qin Xi.
Although he couldn't go in person, Xie Ning took the opportunity of Mama Qin to go out and let Mingshuang and Gu Sui follow to see the excitement, but he didn't expect that when the three of them returned, they brought back more than just the sights and news of the city tower.
"Miss, we're back! You don't know, but something big happened today. ”
Before the people arrived, the sound came first. Far away, Xie Ning had already heard Gu Sui's chattering all the way, and was secretly laughing, but he didn't expect to look up, but what he saw was her and Mingshuang carrying countless large bags and small bags.
Horses of silk brocade were piled up on the table, boxes of fat powder paste were stacked into towers, and delicate and small hairpin ring jewelry was placed in front of him. ”
Mingshuang covered her mouth and smiled: "These are all prepared by Mama Qin for you, Miss." ”
"For me?" Xie Ning repeated in confusion, and got up to greet Mama Qin. She is not the little girl who first entered the capital, these things that she has not had the opportunity to touch before, even if she does not know the value, she can also estimate the approximation. Mama Qin has no relatives with her, but she came to give guidance because of Qin Feng's entrustment, how could Xie Ning tell her to break the bank?
"Mama, you-"
"You don't have to ask," Mama Qin had already guessed Xie Ning's intention, and before she could finish speaking, she interrupted: "Didn't you have a deal with His Royal Highness King An earlier?" With the way you look now, I am afraid that you will not be able to become the climate in another ten years. ”
Since entering the Hou Mansion, the guidance and ridicule of her have been all over the place, and Xie Ning has heard a lot more than this ugly words, at first she inevitably cared, but now she can laugh at it. What's more, although Mama Qin is cold, she is really thinking about her.
Xie Ning saw it clearly, so she naturally didn't take it to heart, what she was worried about was another thing, "Mama, I don't mind if you buy these things, it's just that you look at the situation and bother to point me out, but Shaining can't teach you to break the bank." I will make up for you later the money you have spent today. If you want to go out in the future, let me know in advance, and I will take care of the expenses. ”
After hearing her words, Mama Qin's face suddenly sank, "The person who picks things is good for me, but there is someone else who pays the bill." Why, for the sake of these objects today, do you still have to chase down Yandi to find people? ”
Hearing this, Xie Ning frowned and said, "Yes...... His Royal Highness King An? ”
"That's right," Mama Qin glanced at her, "I don't know how much silver you have on this stupid girl." There is still a lot of money to be used in the future, can you fill it? ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, Xie Ning really didn't think about this problem, so he had to respond embarrassedly: "Xie Ning didn't think it through, so he made Mama laugh." ”
has not yet taken over the family's industry, and in the imperial city where money is spent, Shainin can be said to be penniless at the moment. In such a situation, where should she go to find money?
Why don't you go to the casino and win some money again? No, since the Ruyifang incident, there has been a wind of gambling suppression in Beijing, if you win too much silver at this moment, you will definitely be targeted by someone with a heart.
The idea of guessing the dice just came to mind, but it was dispelled in an instant. Shainin had to continue to think about what way to make money.
Just as she was pondering, Mama Qin suddenly approached, looked straight at her with a pair of sharp eyes, and said earnestly, "The matter of silver money is just a mundane thing. If you take these things too seriously, I'm afraid I don't have any need to point you out. Although it is useless, you have an appointment with King An in advance, so why do you feel that you owe him favors. Seriously calculated, the time when you went out early and returned late, and the hard work you paid were not cheaper than real money. It would be too much to dwell on this matter any longer. ”
Woken up by Mama Qin's words again, Xie Ning nodded and said, "It's that I'm thinking too much, fortunately, I have you reminded me, if the truth is clear, wouldn't Brother Ziyue think that I want to have a relationship with him?" ”
Thinking about it carefully, she and Qin Feng can be regarded as friends who have experienced life and death. There is no need to make an appointment in advance, and then think about that much. Having solved his thoughts, Shainin breathed a sigh of relief.
Mama Qin's face was still as heavy as water, her unsmiling face was full of serious expressions, and she saw her take a deep look at Xie Ning before she spoke: "Seeing off the city tower today, do you know what happened?" ”
"Shainin doesn't know." She had been so focused on the things she had brought back that she hadn't noticed what they had seen on the castle tower. Now that Mama Qin mentioned it, Xie Ning suddenly remembered that Gu Sui had mentioned the 'big event' that had happened, so she hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"It's not an earth-shattering event, but after the young lady of the Gu Xiangjia and King An said a few words, she couldn't help crying when she said goodbye, and asked someone to see it. When a few sons learned about it, they stepped forward to comfort them. Right now, in Beijing, there must be rumors about the relationship between this Gu girl and King An. ”
Xie Ning could see clearly, although Gu Qingyun had a calm temperament, she had a deep affection for Qin Feng, and it was not surprising that she was a little out of control when she saw her off. Xie Ning nodded knowingly, and asked, "Is there any relationship between Brother Ziyue and Miss Gu?" ”
"A few of you put the things you bought today in place," Mama Qin replied in no hurry, and instructed the four maids in the small courtyard before turning around and walking into Xie Ning's bedroom, and asked rhetorically: "Everyone in the city knows that King An is not in good health, but he was not born with a cough disease. Do you know the root cause of this disease? ”
Without waiting for Xie Ning to shake his head, Mama Qin asked herself and replied: "It was the tenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, King An was only nine years old, and Gu Yatou was just a girl." At a palace banquet, Gu Yatou fell into the lake, and happened to be bumped into by King An, he rescued people to the lake, but he lost his strength, and since then he has fallen ill. Gu Xiang's mansion is such a concubine, and she has always been like a jewel. Gu recited the grace of King An's rescue, and over the years, he has been using manpower and material resources to find famous doctors in various places. Gu Yatou herself, for King An's cough, even more struggling. ”
No wonder Gu Qingyun, a woman as introverted and serious, has never shied away from caring for Qin Feng in front of others. It turned out that Qin Feng's cough was caused by her, no wonder it involved Qin Feng's affairs, she was so concerned.
