"Before dawn, the porter was called open. It was the young master who came to the village with the family and the guards. The young master said that he was going to Taizhou to see the old lady, and he was in a hurry and wanted to rest in the village. In the end, Ruyi's tone became unnatural.

Qin Dai still looked unfazed in her heart, but she pondered in her heart, this young master in Ruyi's mouth was none other than the daughter of the Fang family, Qin Congwen's own sister, and the only son of her cheap aunt, Gongsun Jin.

This Gongsun Jin, she knows a little. I only heard that her aunt Qin Fengge was a powerful person, and she was the most powerful in the Qin family. Married to a county magistrate, she has always been in office with her husband. This Gongsun Jin heard that he looks good, a jade-faced scholar-like character, and his poetry is also good, and he has also found a famous professor since he was a child. It's just that she seems to have heard that this cousin is a little distracted, obviously married, and the concubine has a few rooms, but he is still blatantly Hu Lai outside.

When Ruyi mentioned him, the whole person was tense and very nervous, obviously there were unspeakable words, could it be that this guy had beaten his own idea?

"That's it?" Qin Daixin decided not to move, and first probed the tone of Ruyi's girl.

"Miss, this cousin came too suddenly, I have to guard against it! Don't forget, he has been begging the old lady to take you as a concubine. Ruyi hurriedly said the words, but saw Qin Dai's face change coldly.

Things are too strange, why didn't this ill-intentioned cousin show up early or late, but after she rejected the kindness of Zheng's mother and Ding's mother. If he was in a hurry to see the old lady, why was he in a hurry at night and found a place to rest at dawn? One qiē seems too coincidental.

"Miss, what do you say? The young master's carriage has already entered the Zhuangzi, and he is ordering someone to clean the yard! Looking at the situation, I'm afraid I'm going to have to stay for a few nights. Ruyi knew that Qin Dai's heart was slightly different from before, and although her tone was a little anxious, she was still respectful.

Qin Dai knew what Ruyi was worried about, but she felt that if someone wanted to frame her, she was afraid that she would not be able to prevent it.

"Young Master Cousin has practiced martial arts?" After all, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

Ruyi thought she was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "No." Why did the young lady ask about this? ”

Qin Dai smiled in her heart, this is easy to do.

"Don't be nervous, go get ready for breakfast, I'm hungry. Since my cousin is here, I have to see him. Qin Dai had something to say in her heart, and she already had a plan in her heart.

In ancient times, men and women did not sit at the same age at the age of seven, but Dayong did not have this statement, and the atmosphere was quite a bit of the meaning of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Ruyi was puzzled, he had no choice but to say anything, so he had to bow and retreat. Qin Daixin called Chunli to help her comb her hair, only combing a simple double screw bun, wearing a few beaded flowers, and wearing a pair of small pearl earrings on her ears. asked Chunli to find a peach-pink silk jacket to change into, wearing a skirt of the same color on the bottom, and a small gown with white gold thread trim on the outside. The whole person looks elegant and delicate, like a fairy elf. Chunli even said that it looked good, and Ruyi, who came to deliver food, saw it, and the uneasiness in her heart increased a little.

Qin Daixin was eating while thinking about a strategy. At this time, I saw the little girl coming, saying that the head of the young master's family had delivered a letter, and only said that she would rest in the village for one night, and she was afraid that the third lady would be frightened to recuperate, so she would not come to visit.

As soon as these words came out, Ruyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but Qin Daixin felt even more suspicious, how could there be a cat in the world that didn't steal fish, such a good opportunity was in front of him, but Young Master Huaxin had to be so polite, did he really persuade the people around him, or was this qiē just a means to cover people's ears?

"Ruyi, help me invite the two mothers over, and say that I have something to discuss with the two of them." I hope it doesn't backfire.

Although Ruyi was puzzled, he still took the order.

After a while, Ruyi came in with a curtain, but it was empty behind him, and half of the figure was gone.

Qin Dai saw it in her heart, but she still asked, "What?" Didn't anyone invite? ”

"Yes. The slave maid first went to Zheng's mother's yard and didn't see anyone. The little girl next to her said that she was sick for some reason last night, and she vomited nonstop, and she didn't stop until dawn today. only said that if the young lady is not in a hurry, she will discuss it another day. Ruyi cautiously looked at the master's face, and continued: "Mother Ding saw it, but her face was pale and sweating, as if she was more sick than Mother Zheng." She must not have been able to come to her like that, so the slave had to come back by herself. ”

Sick? And they fell ill together. Listening to Ruyi's description, I'm afraid it's not pretending. It's just that how could it be so coincidental that the two of them got sick together at this time? If you want to say that there is nothing between them, Qin Daixin will not believe it, or she was framed, and the two mothers were too big and hit the trick; Either it's a bitter trick, and the two have reached some kind of tacit understanding before. Either way, it only says one thing. The appearance of Gongsun Jin is by no means accidental, something must happen tonight.

Qin Dai ordered someone to remove the cups and dishes from a table, took the handkerchief handed by the girl and wiped her mouth, rinsed her mouth with light tea soaked in jasmine, and unhurriedly ordered a few girls to go to work separately, leaving only Ruyi to serve in the house.

"Ruyi, how many years have you been with me?"

Although Ruyi didn't know what Qin Daixin meant, she still replied honestly: "A few years ago, Miss split the house and lived alone, and it has been four years now. ”

"It's been four years, and it's also a good one. Do you think I've changed lately? "Ruyi, this girl is smart, there are some things that can be hidden from her for a while, but she can't hide them for a lifetime. She is the old man in front of the third lady, serving in front of her every day, how can she not find out that her master has changed her temperament? She didn't say anything for a while, maybe she felt that the young lady had a long memory, but after a long time, she would inevitably come up with something else. As the old saying goes, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, and now I don't want to make a decent statement, I'm afraid that this girl won't be at ease to serve. When the time comes, I'm afraid that I won't be able to help, but I will lose my strength.

Ruyi hurriedly knelt down in front of Qin Daixin, "Miss, the slave knows that she is wrong, the slave and the maid are afraid that they have been staying in the village recently and don't know the rules." Miss can't have no one by her side in the village, and the slave only asks Miss to let me stay by your side and serve. When you return to the house, you can dispose of it, even if you sell me out of the house, Ruyi will never complain. ”

"You get up first." The tone is beyond question.

Ruyi didn't know what Qin Dai was thinking, so he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move.

Qin Dai only said: "You are the person next to me, and you can't be clearer about my affairs." I had an accident some time ago, and you know that. It's not that I've changed now, it's just that I can't live with my previous attitude anymore, so get up! ”

If she thinks that her words are a little sad, and she thinks of all the things that happened to her some time ago, she seems to understand a little bit what she wants to say to herself, so she has to get up and stand aside.

Qin Daixin didn't look at her, but said: "Life in the house is not easy, it is inevitable that individuals will take care of themselves." Over the years, my aunt is afraid that she has also broken her heart. At first, I couldn't understand it, but now I finally understand my aunt's goodness. She remembered herself in her previous life, her mother's appearance had become more and more blurred, and all she remembered was what she was like before she died. To live for hatred, you can see her sorrow.

"In order to marry her daughter into the Jia family, my mother forced me to marry someone else to fill the house, which is far away, it is not a matter at a glance." Qin Daixin's voice was slow, and she couldn't hear any joy or anger, "Living in the countryside now is far worse than the days in the house, but it is rare to be quiet, you don't have to guess everyone's thoughts, even if it is a little eye-catching, it's just some clowns." ”

Ruyi knew that she was talking about two mothers, so she didn't say anything, just stood aside quietly.

"I'm used to living like this, and I'm in a trance when I think of the past. Since my mother likes the second sister to marry into Jiafu, let her marry well, and I don't want to go to this deep water again. After speaking, he looked up at Ruyi, and sure enough, he saw her stunned.

"What's wrong?" Normal people are like this, and this expression is only afraid that they will not be able to do it several times in their lives.

Ruyi's heart turned back and forth, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he only said: "Miss is not married, so ...... Why did he contradict Mrs. Tai before, and then rejected Mother Zheng one after another? ”

Qin Dai smiled heartily, knowing what this girl meant. If you don't do that, how can you have the opportunity to come to the country!

"What do you think will happen if I stay in the mansion intermittently?"

Naturally, nothing will end well. The master and servant knew that the wife had made up her mind to marry her second daughter into the Jia Mansion, and in the face of the Jia family, which was stronger than herself, the Qin family would not dare to fight with her no matter what. Except for asking the other party to voluntarily give up the third miss and ask to marry the second miss instead, the Qin family couldn't come up with a reason not to marry the third miss at all.

It is precisely because of this that there was the overturning incident of Pufa Temple, followed by Mrs. Tai who came forward to marry Qin Daixin to the inspection to fill the house, and it was precisely because of this incident that Qin Daixin spoke against him, and he was punished to the countryside.

After thinking about it, Ruyi said: "If Miss doesn't go to the countryside, I'm afraid it won't be easy." Although Madame is jealous of the Jia family and will not repeat what happened last time, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be installed with something that she has or not. ”

This is a bit conservative, but Qin Dai knows it in her heart.

"When our master and servant talk about this, I won't hide it from you. Jia family, I may not be able to see it yet. ”

"Miss......" Ruyi was obviously taken aback by these words, since ancient times, women's marriages have been decided by their parents, and like Qin Daixin, fate is tightly held in the hands of the housewife. People like the Jia family, if they want to marry the girl, not to mention the Qin family, why would their own young lady say something like "I can't look down"?

Qin Dai smiled in her heart, but she revealed a little pathos, "How many of the backyards of big families are clean?" Marrying in is just a fight in another place. ”

"What does Miss mean...... Ruyi seemed to understand a little, and looked at Qin Daixin's gaze differently. She is a girl, although she tries her best to follow her master, but there is inevitably a bit of planning for herself. In the past, the third lady of the Qin family was a master who did not enter the oil and salt, and she did whatever she wanted, it was difficult to listen to the persuasion, she suffered a lot as a first-class girl, and the number one she suffered was enough for other girls to laugh at for a few years, she asked herself if she looked good, and she was also a transparent and clever person, but because she followed an unsatisfactory master, she had no face at all, and the second-class girls in other people's yards dared to show her face, and it was not a good day. Now that I heard Qin Daixin say this, I couldn't help but feel a little hopeful, I hope that the master is really different.

Qin Daixin's eyes were like torches, and she looked deeply at Ruyi. This time, her eyes were no longer as calm as water, but had a different meaning, "It's not easy to be in the house, and I almost lost my life." In other people's homes, how good can it be? Even if I hide in such a place of poor mountains and rivers now, don't I still have to be calculated? ”
