86_86270Qin Honglie's big eyes blinked a little worried: "I like big sister, so if we keep a secret between us, will big sister talk to me in the future?" Usually no one really talks to me. ”

Qin Mengdie didn't dare to promise Qin Honglie: "Honglie, for the time being, we can't speak openly, because some people won't let us meet again if they see us talking, so we can only speak when there are no outsiders, understand?" But my sister promises that it won't be long before you can be with your sister every day. ”

Qin Honglie grinned: "I listen to the big sister." ”

After getting into the carriage, Shui Ling put Hong Lie on the carriage and whispered to Qin Mengdie: "Miss, aren't you afraid that he will go back and talk to the eldest aunt when you talk to the young master?" He's still a kid, and he doesn't necessarily have to keep secrets. ”

"He's my brother, I need to protect him, and I'm sure he'll keep his word."

"Yes, if the eldest lady is here, she must also hope that the young lady will take care of the young master, the eldest aunt must not be her biological mother, and she will not really love the young master."

"In the future, I will take you to have your own mansion, and we will be our own masters." Qin Mengdie said firmly.

Shui Ling looked at Qin Mengdie a little surprised, but saw firmness in her eyes, and felt that she couldn't help but be convinced. At this time, Qin Haichuan walked down from the mountain, it was already ten noon, the weather was very hot, Shui Ling hurriedly got into the carriage and took two small stools for the two to sit down, and then took down the sour plum juice and poured a bowl for each of them.

Qin Haichuan said: "Shui Ling, take out lunch, let's eat outside, now that the weather is warm, let Hong Lie also come down to bask in the sun." ”

Shui Ling asked the coachman to help move the coffee table down, took a small stool and placed it, and then took out the food box, Qin Haichuan carried Hong Lie out of the car, Hong Lie was very obedient and didn't talk to Qin Mengdie, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes when he looked at her. Qin Haichuan saw some differences, but he also thought that they must be sisters and brothers, and it was natural to be close.

During the meal, Qin Haichuan said to Qin Mengdie: "Mengdie, you are not young anymore, you can't always be like now, you will have to be concubine in eight months, your mother and the prime minister's wife met during her lifetime, and promised you to the prime minister's third son, who is not the eldest son of the prime minister, that status is high, you will marry in the future, but I can rest assured where you marry with this character, you will not be bullied, but you can't get a man's heart, how many concubines will be married in the future, what should you do?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Mengdie was suddenly a little scared in her heart, this ancient was the words of the matchmaker of her parents, if she really had a marriage contract, she couldn't do anything, anyway, she didn't have much hope for love, it didn't matter who she married, at least she could have the status of a lady, so she wouldn't be a concubine.

Qin Haichuan looked at the silent Qin Mengdie and shook his head: "What should I do with you?" I can't be at home every day, not to mention that even if I'm at home, I can't go to your yard every day to teach you, I hope your mother will help you in the spirit of heaven. ”

Qin Mengdie's heart was moved: "Please rest assured, father, I will take care of myself." ”

Qin Haichuan looked at Qin Mengdie unexpectedly: "Really, then don't hate your brother, okay?" Those words are the words of your aunts chewing their tongues, you and your brother are the closest, I have always had your mother in my heart, your name was taken by me and your mother, and the name of your yard was also taken by me. ”

Qin Mengdie nodded but still didn't have any expression: "I know, I've grown up." ”

Qin Haichuan was a little surprised, and couldn't hide his smile: "Mengdie, it must be me who heard what your mother said, and she has a spirit in the sky to bless you." ”

Qin Mengdie was speechless about the superstitions of the ancient people, but she couldn't say too much, she lowered her head to eat and didn't speak.

Jingguan only said these two sentences, but on the way back, Qin Haichuan has been trying to communicate with himself, but he tried to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible, and he was not in a hurry when he came back, he walked slowly, and he could also enjoy the scenery along the way, when he arrived at the city gate, the sun was already in the west, under the sunset, the sunset was brilliant and dazzling, and the tall and majestic city gate was golden and brilliant, because it was an official carriage, he quickly entered the city, at this time, Qin Mengdie saw the ancient commercial street for the first time during the day, the shops on both sides were neat, and the hawkers on the street were shouting one after another. A scene of peace and prosperity.

Suddenly, the coachman slowed down and said, "Master, there is a crowd in front of us, it seems that they are selling themselves to bury my father, shall we go around on another street, or shall we wait and go over?" ”

Qin Haichuan instructed the coachman: "Wait, don't worry," turned to Qin Mengdie and said, "Do you want to go down and buy some rouge gouache?" ”

Qin Mengdie shook her head: "Father, can I go and see the person who sold his body to bury his father?" ”

Qin Haichuan is in a good mood today, "Go ahead, you are as kind-hearted as your mother, back then, your mother bought back the sick child who was sick from the traffickers, how could I think that it was the son of the prime minister, so there was your karma." As he spoke, he handed the money bag on his waist to Qin Mengdie.

Qin Mengdie took the money bag and Shui Ling got out of the carriage and walked over, only to see a girl kneeling on the ground wearing linen and filial piety, about fifteen or sixteen years old, delicate, but pale, a dead man covered with a white cloth on a mat beside her, it should be her father, the woman had a straw on her head, crying liver and intestines, and a thousand lines of bitter tears.

The scene she had seen on TV before was now close in front of her, she was a warm-hearted person, and she gave the money bag to Shui Ling and whispered, "Buy it!" ”

Shui Ling stepped forward and took out ten taels of silver and handed it over: "Our young lady has bought you, you will bury your father quickly, and then go to the Qin Mansion of the military department to find our eldest lady." As he spoke, he put the money in the woman's hand.

The woman took the silver and raised her head to see Qin Mengdie, and then kowtowed three times: "Thank you, Miss, in the future, Shuilian will not marry and serve Miss for life." ”

Qin Mengdie was stunned for a moment, and bought this woman's life for ten taels of silver: "When you enter the mansion, you can go and bury the old man first." After speaking, he took Shui Ling back to the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Qin Mengdie first said: "Father, I bought that girl, and her father who buried him will come to our house, you talk to the housekeeper first, lest they not let them in." ”

Qin Haichuan hadn't heard Qin Mengdie say these words for many years, it must be that Qin Mengdie was his first child, and he was a smart and likable person when he was a child, so when he heard Qin Mengdie talking to him today, he was indescribably happy: "Don't worry, when the time comes, you will directly ask the housekeeper to bring it to your yard." ”

After returning to Qin's mansion before dinner, Qin Haichuan asked, "Mengdie, did you go to your grandmother's for dinner with your father today?" ”

Qin Mengdie shook her head: "I'm tired and want to go back to rest." ”

"Shui Ling, take good care of Miss." Qin Haichuan didn't force himself to leave.

Qin Mengdie went back to her yard, she was a little tired from the bumps of the day, no matter how good the carriage was, it was not as comfortable as the car, after dinner, she let Shui Ling take the bath water, and the whole person soaked in the wooden barrel thinking about Qin Honglie's symptoms, it should be poison, I have to find an opportunity to steal a few pills to see, such a small child is really pitiful, even if Xiaoxiao has no parents, but if she is raised by her side, she will give her the best care. The younger brother is also his dearest, he must be saved, thinking about falling asleep in the bathtub, Shui Ling came in and was startled, quickly woke her up, changed her clothes and went to bed.

Three days later, early in the morning, the housekeeper sent the water lotus to the Dream Seeking Academy, and the water lotus knelt down and kowtowed as soon as she saw Qin Mengdie

"Thank you, Miss, for buying the slave, the slave's life will be Miss's from today on."

Qin Mengdie nodded: "Shui Ling, you take Shui Lian to clean up, and then let her come to my room." ”

After a stick of incense, Shui Lian changed her clothes and entered Qin Mengdie's boudoir, Qin Mengdie motioned for her to close the door.

Shuilian walked to Qin Mengdie's desk and was about to kneel, Qin Mengdie quickly stood up and helped her and said: "Don't kneel, I don't have those rules, I don't sign a deed of sale with you, but don't let others know, you have the same one or two silver as them every month, as long as you don't have two hearts, you will be guaranteed a good dowry when you marry in the future." ”

Shui Lian was a little dizzy: "Miss bought a slave maid, the slave maid is Miss's person, Shui Lian will never marry." ”

Qin Mengdie also knew the thoughts of people at this time, and she no longer bothered with her about this matter: "Your name is good, it is as good as the water spirit, so you won't change your name, today I want to tell you some very important things, which must be known in this courtyard." "It's all up to Miss."

Qin Mengdie lowered her voice: "There are only six people in our yard, and the others are nothing, you have to pay attention to Sister-in-law Li, he was originally from another yard, and this is someone else's eyeliner." There is a chance that we will kick her out of us, and I am cold and indifferent in front of outsiders to protect myself, you should not know anything, just do what you have to do, and you will know my affairs slowly. ”。
