Chapter 262: Strange Courtyard Wall
When the convoy drove into Xiaoqianzhuang, it was not yet dark, and the croppers who had been busy all day walked home from the fields one after another, and the children who were less than half old gathered to play together, and the convoy that saw Qin Daixin stopped and watched, and discussed the appearance of the horses from time to time.
Life in the mountains is hard, livestock like horses are rare, and the villagers can't save much silver all year round. In fact, there have been a few carriages in the village, but who has ever seen a dozen horses appear together? This kind of spectacular scene is not seen every day, and it is no wonder that everyone didn't even eat and ran out to see the excitement.
"Tsk, this rich and noble family is burning money, and a horse costs more than 20 taels of silver, how much does it cost?"
"You mother-in-law don't know how not to talk nonsense, what kind of horse can you buy in twenty taels? This horse is expensive......"
"Ergouzi, you see how majestic they are on horses, I will also ride horses when I grow up." A snotty, bare-ass doll is talking to a little boy who is slightly taller than him.
The runny little boy sniffed, his eyes popping out.
The little boy who was called Ergouzi frowned, he hated it when others called him Ergouzi, but the horse was strangely good-looking, and when he grew up, he also wanted to ride a horse.
A fat woman dressed in fine cotton fabric pulled the woman next to her and asked, "Auntie, whose house do you say this carriage is going to?" ”
"Who else can I go to?" The person who spoke was extremely thin, with a yellow face and a slight hanging eye, and she was not a worry-free lord at first glance, she pretended to be mysterious, and lowered her voice and said: "Naturally, I went to the Qin family, think about it." In our village, the Qin family can have this pomp, last year their family came to more than a dozen people at once, saying that they are masters with craftsmanship, this year's spring is really groundbreaking, what kind of wine cellar winery was built, and now it comes out again, this high-ranking family is indeed different from our small family. ”
The fat woman seemed to be a little excited, and the fat on her face trembled. Her forehead was covered with sweat, and her eyes seemed to shine with some calculation: "Auntie said yes, this Qin family is rich." She bit the money hard. It made the thin woman a little puzzled.
"Auntie, I'm going home to cook, you see." The fat woman stared at the convoy and saw that they were indeed going to the Qin family's old mansion, so she twisted her fat body and walked back.
The thin man snorted at her back. I turned my head again to see the excitement.
Qin Daixin, who was sitting in the car, naturally didn't know about this qiē.
The team came to the door of the Qin family, this house is the Fang family's dowry, the years are long enough, the place is small enough, a small house with two entrances, there are only a dozen houses inside and outside. The walls are old and in disrepair, the skin of the walls has fallen off in some places, and the green bricks on the ground are not so neat. The high and low are not very smooth, a small garden, can only plant a few rows of flowers and plants, if you put a few larger bonsai pots, I am afraid that you will not be able to put anything else.
So shabby. No wonder Fang didn't hesitate to give it to himself at the beginning.
Qin Daixin lowered the curtain and smiled indifferently. She said to Li Wan'er: "If Miss Wan'er doesn't dislike it, let's live here for a while, my family's old mansion is now in my name." ”
Li Wan'er wanted to speak and stopped, this is really not a good place to talk.
"Reiko, go up and knock on the door."
Reiko nodded, and got out of the carriage alone, she walked briskly up the steps to the mottled gate, slamming the knocker.
The corner door on the side of the gate "squeaked" opened, and a small guy in blue coarse cloth clothes walked out of it, he was stunned when he saw Reiko, thinking whose girl this was, and then looked behind Reiko, only to see a large group of people standing in front of the door, three magnificent carriages lined up, and there were more than a dozen high-headed horses around the four sides, and there were more than a dozen people standing in the open space, all dressed up fiercely.
Xiao Si swallowed his saliva and said very unnaturally: "Girl, you, who are you looking for?" "My mother, why are there so many people, in this poor ravine, it is a rare thing to see a carriage, and when I see so many horses at once, it is no wonder that there are many people standing around to watch the excitement, but they are all far away and dare not come forward.
Lingzi couldn't get used to this little guy's timid appearance, and said directly: "This is the carriage of the third lady of the Qin Mansion." ”
When the little guy heard this, he knew that the serious master in this house was coming, so he hurriedly said: "Wait for me to return to Steward Zheng......" After speaking, he closed the door in a panic and shut Lingzi out.
Reiko couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to wait at the gate.
After a short while, she heard the hurried footsteps in the house, and when the corner door with the paint peeling was opened again, Reiko saw a thin, gray-haired old man.
"In Xia Zheng Jiufu, he is the steward of this village. This girl looked at the face, my young lady is really here? Zheng Jiufu had never seen Reiko, so there was a bit of distrust in his words.
Lingzi said: "This can still be fake, the young lady is in the carriage, and Steward Zheng can go and see for himself." ”
Steward Zheng said: "Don't dare, I'll order someone to open the door." ”
Zheng Jiufu let his subordinates open the door, Lingzi nodded with satisfaction, and ran to the carriage to talk to Qin Daixin, "Miss, the person in charge is here in person, and the door is also open." ”
Qin Dai said in her heart: "Got it." She looked at Li Wan'er and said, "Let's go down." ”
Li Wan'er wanted to speak and stopped, but finally didn't say anything and followed Qin Daixin out of the carriage.
Zheng Jiufu saw Qin Dai's heart, and a hanging heart was put back in his stomach, and he came out with it, "Miss has worked hard." ”
Qin Daixin nodded, beckoned to Lingzi and said, "Send someone to settle that family first." ”
Of course, Lingzi knew who the family was referring to, so she hurriedly agreed, and then pointed to the two little servants behind Zheng Jiufu and said, "You guys come to help." ”
The two didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Reiko towards the carriage in the clearing.
Qin Dai patted Li Wan'er's hand as if she was appeased, and the group walked towards the old mansion of Qinfu, she instructed Zheng Jiufu as she walked: "My room will be cleaned up first, don't go outside to prepare a smaller independent courtyard, order someone to clean it, everyone hasn't eaten yet, you go and ask someone to buy vegetables and meat, and prepare meals for more than 20 people." We'll stay overnight and leave for Taizhou tomorrow, so you have to find a way to solve the accommodation problem for these 20 people. ”
Zheng Jiufu heard it with a big head, but he also remembered it one by one, "Miss's room has been cleaned, and you can live in it if you clean it up a little." ”
Qin Daixin was more satisfied with this answer, and said continuously: "You go and get busy, don't let people disturb me first, I have something to say to this girl." ”
Zheng Jiufu said yes again and again, and hurriedly went to do it.
Qin Daixin pulled Li Wan'er and walked to the room where she used to live, she had lived here for a lot of time, so she was very familiar, and she didn't need anyone to lead the way, the two walked through the small hall, and soon came to Qin Daixin's small room.
Qin Daixin closed the door and pressed the absent-minded Li Wan'er to sit down on the big kang in the prison window before saying, "Miss Li, what the hell is going on, how did you fall to the point of being chased and killed?" ”
Li Wan'er was originally immersed in her own thoughts, but she was yelled at by Qin Daixin like this, and she finally sobered up a little.
Can you tell us about your background? I'm afraid that it will also affect her.
"Third Miss, I, I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that there are some things you still don't know, I'm afraid of affecting you."
Qin Daixin sighed, "Do you think you haven't bothered me now?" You must know the origin of those people, a dozen people said they were missing, wouldn't they be looking for them? If you can't find anything, forget it, if you find here, I'm afraid that this village will suffer with you. ”
Li Wan'er was startled, and hurriedly said, "I have to go, in case the people from the Howling Wind Pavilion chase after me, it will be troublesome." ”
Qin Dai didn't expect Li Wan'er to be so unscrupulous, but in just three or two sentences, she actually spied on an unexpected gain.
Howling Winds? Maybe she should talk to the guy with the last name?
Qin Dai said in her heart: "Everyone has secrets, since you don't say it, I won't force you." Miss Wan'er, you and I have known each other, you have helped me again, I can't watch you have an accident, you can stay here for a few days with peace of mind, if there is anything, let's talk about it later. ”
Li Wan'er's tears couldn't hold back any longer, she choked in a low voice: "Third Miss, my grandfather, and Ji'an, my junior brothers, they, they are all dead." ”
Although I have thought of this possibility for a long time, speculation is speculation, once it becomes a fact, it is inevitable that it will be a little unacceptable, and Qin Daixin was a little caught off guard by this sudden news.
are all dead, so won't Li Wan'er become a widow? What's going on with her surname Duan?
Qin Dai sighed in her heart, she couldn't digest it even if she knew too much news, so it was better to ask later.
"Okay, Miss Wan'er, people can't be resurrected after death, so you can mourn!" Qin Dai never thought that she would say such unnutritious words one day.
"The most important thing right now is that you get some rest." Li Wan'er has lost a lot of weight, and there are many traces of wind and frost on her face, so she must have not had a good time in the rivers and lakes during this time.
Li Wan'er suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, nodded towards Qin Daixin and said, "Thank you, I didn't expect that when I was in trouble, there would be someone willing to take me in." ”
Qin Dai didn't want this girl to be uneasy, she thought for a moment and said, "You also helped me, we have a relationship, and we can be regarded as friends." I'll ask someone to clean up next door, you take a shower, clean up, eat something and sleep well, it's okay, it's going to be okay, it's going to be okay, huh? "Take it in, take it in, Qin Daixin doesn't like to live in the same bed with others, and this kang in the outer room is to be reserved for Lingzi.
Li Wan'er glanced at her gratefully and nodded.
Qin Daixin hurriedly found someone to settle Li Wan'er, and she herself went to see Zheng Jiufu, she had to ask what was going on with the courtyard wall next to the old mansion.
