Xie Ning heard what Mama Qin had just said, but as soon as his heart moved, he said tentatively: "Mama and King Xuan, are they also deeply related?" ”

Qin Xi is the only concubine in the world, and Mama Qin is the old person next to the former queen, if there is no relationship between the two of them, it is really hard for Xie Ning to believe.

But...... Mama Qin has served the first queen, so Qin Xi can also be called her old master. Why was there a trace of contempt in Mama Qin's tone when she mentioned him?

For some reason, Xie Ning remembered the jade flute that Qin Feng asked her to hand over to Mama Qin, and her already chaotic thoughts became more and more complicated. This intricate relationship had to make Xie Ning sigh with emotion and sigh at the royal secrets.

Xie Ning was thinking wildly, and he didn't notice Mama Qin's deep expression for a moment, until she heard her undulating narration in her ears, and then she suddenly came back to her senses.

"When King Xuan was young, he was also taken care of by me for a period of time, but the first queen died early, and I have not had much intersection with him since then." Mama Qin said lightly.

For fear of asking something that would make Mama Qin unhappy, although Xie Ning was very puzzled about her relationship with King Xuan, she didn't ask any more, nodded, and put away the letter in her hand.

"To go or not to go, do you have an idea?" Mama Qin asked, but her face did not show any emotion.

Xie Ning thought for a moment, weighed it, and finally made a decision, and replied with a straight face: "This matter is not in a hurry, even if Uncle Pei returns to Shudi, I can also go another day." In the past few days, I still stay in the Hou Mansion and don't go out. ”

If Qin Xi bumped into her going out with Uncle Pei, she was afraid that it would bring trouble to Uncle Pei. provoked such an arrogant and noble lord, Xie Ning himself did not dare to blindly force him, if Uncle Pei was implicated again, she would really become a sinner.

Xie Ning made up his mind, so he found a pen and paper and wrote a reply letter to Pei Xinghai. The letter stated that it was difficult for her to make the trip, but did not explicitly state the reason for her resignation, but only used her physical discomfort as an excuse, and wrote it off in vague terms.

After writing a reply, Gu Sui volunteered to take the errand errand, "Miss, leave this letter to me to deliver." ”

"Okay," Xie Ning handed the letter to Gu Sui, and then advised: "When you go to deliver the letter, remember to go to the door and ask if the person sent by Uncle Pei has left." If you don't go, remember to give him a dime. ”

The soldiers who have been on the battlefield all the year round, where will they understand the twists and turns in the capital. With her understanding of Pei Xinghai, Xie Ning was convinced without doubt that Uncle Pei would not consider rewarding.

If it had been placed two months ago, Xie Ning would never have imagined that she would have learned how to treat people with sauces not long ago.

From what Mama Qin heard and saw on weekdays, intentionally or unintentionally, Xie Ning gradually learned a lot. She knew her embarrassing situation in the Hou Mansion. She has no blood relationship with the people in the Hou Mansion, so naturally she will not receive too much care from them, and her subordinates will not despise the person who sent the letter from the post house, and may not give him a good look. As for the reward, there is no way to talk about it.

It can be dotted back and forth, but it cannot be ignored. After entering the local customs, Xie Ning entered the Hou Mansion, and he had to follow the rules of this high-ranking family, although she wanted to reward a dime of silver, and her heart inevitably hurt, but she did not deliberately pretend to know nothing, obviously thinking of this reason, but she stingily did not give the reward.

However, since Mama Qin was invited to the Hou Mansion, Xie Ning's life has been moisturized, and the ingredients for three meals a day have been delivered on time, not to mention that the second uncle He Shi, who is in charge of the Hou Mansion, will also send her three or two months of silver and two clothes every month.

In this way, plus her belongings before entering Beijing and the silver taels she won in Ruyifang, Xie Ning can now be regarded as a small asset.

After Xie Ning gave the order, Gu Sui immediately nodded in response, turned around and took the silver from the money box, and walked away without being urged by others.

Although she walked fast, by the time she returned to the courtyard, it had already been more than half an hour. At that time, Xie Ning was sitting in the courtyard chatting with Mingshuang, and heard the sound of hurried footsteps from the path outside the courtyard coming from far and near, and when he looked sideways, he bumped into Gu Sui's sight. Looking at Gu Sui who came over eagerly, she couldn't help but wonder.

Walking quickly in front of Xie Ning, Gu Sui didn't even have time to suppress his anxious expression, so he stumbled and said excitedly: "Miss, Miss, I will hand over the letter to the person, and give him the reward according to Miss's instructions." I had already left, and as soon as I reached the outer courtyard, I was called back. It turned out that Captain Pei was waiting for news outside the house. After reading the letter, Captain Pei called me over again, asked a few words, and asked me to come back and call the young lady out of the house to meet me. ”

After finally finishing the matter, Gu Sui reached out and stroked his chest, and gradually calmed down because of the undulating sound of breathing that came all the way.

Mingshuang stood up from the stone table, thoughtfully handed Gu Sui a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Look at you, you are in a hurry, sit down and rest." ”

Gu Sui nodded, sat down according to Mingshuang's meaning, moistened his throat with tea, and after taking a breath, he was about to say a few more words to Xie Ning about what she had talked about when she met Pei Xinghai, but turned his head, but only looked at the motionless figure beside him.

"Miss," Gu Sui was stunned, looking at Xie Ning, who didn't have much joy on his face, and almost thought that he was dazzled, so he involuntarily blurted out: "Aren't you going to see Captain Pei?" ”

Xie Ning didn't answer her question, but frowned, and asked Gu Sui rhetorically, "Uncle Pei came to the Hou Mansion today?" ”

"Yes," Gu Sui was still a little unclear about Xie Ning's reaction when he heard this, and his expression was still stunned, "Captain Pei said that he had nothing to do recently, and he originally only planned to send someone to visit, and he didn't plan to enter the mansion as a guest, so he just waited outside the Hou Mansion." It was only when he heard the messenger mention me that he summoned me out of the house. ”

After explaining what happened, Gu Sui still didn't forget to look at Xie Ning, and asked out loud, "Miss, is there anything wrong?" ”

"No," Xie Ning stood up from the stone table, replied briefly, turned away, hid the deep worry on his face, and explained casually: "I'll go over now, and if Mama asks, remember to tell her where I am." ”

"Okay," Gu Sui and Mingshuang responded at the same time, and the former didn't forget to add playfully, "Miss, don't worry, Mama Qin won't think that you ran out secretly." ”
