When Qin Congwen heard that it was these two people, he scolded in his heart. The thief was caught in the Qin Mansion and tossed all night, but the thief didn't catch it, so he took half a life to the girl in the mansion, and he was angry when he thought about it. However, Qin Congwen also knew that the people did not fight with the officials, not to mention that these two people were probably still here for the thief's affairs, and he couldn't hide from it.

"Got it." Qin Congwen said a few more words to the Su family, and hurriedly got up and walked to the main hall.

The Su family is a person who understands etiquette, which is different from those concubines who can only mess around. She knew that this was the men's business, so she couldn't delay it, and she didn't say anything, so she let Qin Congwen out of the house.

In the main hall, Ding Huaiyuan and Gao Liren were drinking the tea brought by the subordinates while looking at the decoration in the hall. Neither of them was thinking about the gold, silver and precious jade in this hall, so they took a rough look. Qin Zicheng sat on the side, carefully accompanying the smiling face, for fear that the other party would hit his own head.

The two parties, each with their own thoughts, were not in the mood to talk about useful or useless, but they each drank the tea in their hands. For a moment, the hall was so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.

As soon as Qin Congwen entered the main hall, he saw this scene. He hurriedly confessed his guilt, stepped forward and arched his hand to Ding Huaiyuan: "Oops! I don't know if the adults are coming, and I miss the distance. Sin, sin! ”

Ding Huaiyuan got up, and also arched his hand towards Qin Congwen: "What did Brother Qin say, junior brother is coming to accompany the sin." ”

The two stood in the hall and were polite to each other for a while, and Ding Huaiyuan hurriedly helped Qin Congwen to introduce him: "Brother Qin, this is Lord Gao Liren." A few days ago, there was a reason for it, and I didn't have time to introduce it to you. ”

Qin Congwen hurriedly arched his hand towards Gao Liren and said, "Lord Gao, please forgive me, I was in a really bad mood that day, and I snubbed my lord, forgive me!" He had already seen that this tall man was not an ordinary person, at least Ding Huaiyuan was very jealous of him.

Gao Liren looked like he had no shelf, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Where is it, if it weren't for tolerance, how dare you go to the house late at night to disturb." "If it weren't for the purpose of catching thieves and taking people, with his identity, Qin Congwen would just want to invite him, but I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to invite him.

The three of them were polite again, until finally there was really nothing to say, and then the guests and hosts sat down.

"I don't know what the two adults are doing when they come to the house today, as long as Qin can do it, he will share the worries of the two adults." Qin Congwen saw that the other party didn't speak for a long time, so he had to ask knowingly.

"Brother Qin, it's like this. The thief that night was never caught, and Lord Gao and I were very uneasy. First, I am ashamed of my official uniform, and secondly, I can't help but feel sad that I can't help but feel sad when I can't catch the person who hurt your beloved daughter for Brother Qin. When I came here today, I wanted to visit Ling Yan the most, but I didn't know if her injuries were all healed? ”

"Alas!" Speaking of this, Qin Congwen couldn't help but sigh: "People are awake, but they are very empty." I watched her in the room for a while, and before I could say a few words, the child fell asleep again. Qin Congwen knew that these two had nothing to do but ascend the Three Treasures Palace, I am afraid it was not as simple as simply visiting Qin Daixin.

"Brother Qin, don't worry, we will definitely try our best to catch this thief and avenge Ling Yan." Ding Huaiyuan looked indignant and patted his chest and said.

"Brother Qin, I don't know when the other daughter will wake up? We wanted to ask for details about that night, to see if the three girls had seen the thief's face. ”

Qin Congwen was a little displeased, thinking that this girl was almost dead, she had just come back from a turn around the ghost gate, you couldn't catch the thief, and you still wanted to drag my daughter into the water? However, he didn't show it on his face, just showed an embarrassed expression, and then said: "Two adults, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that the little girl has just woken up, and her body has not recovered." The doctor said that she was frightened and needed to recuperate, do you see if it is in a few days, when the little girl's condition is stable, I will send someone to invite the two adults to come over, okay? His remarks are reasonable, and no matter from what angle you think about it, it is reasonable. It's not that I don't help, it's just that my daughter is not in good health now and can't help.

Ding Huaiyuan's face was slightly embarrassed, and he secretly looked at Gao Liren's face, and after seeing that he didn't show any displeasure, he said, "Of course, of course." Then thank you Brother Qin. I still have business with Master Gao, so I won't bother much. Here are some supplements, which are for the three girls, and I hope that Brother Qin will not dislike it and accept it. After speaking, he took a few beautifully packaged gift boxes from his side, which were nothing more than ginseng, bird's nest and other things.

The official family gave gifts to the common people, and there have been few times since ancient times. However, Qin Congwen was not surprised, it was understandable for these two people to search the Qin Mansion for office errands, but after all, for this matter, even the young lady in the mansion was injured and their reputation was damaged. If the thief is caught, it will be forgotten, but everyone has not even seen a shadow, if you want to find a clue to catch the thief, I am afraid that the only way to ask for help is the injured third lady. Although as long as they put on a three-point official show, it is enough for their Qin family to obediently cooperate with the case, but in this way, it is not very good-looking. Although the Qin family is a businessman, it is not a small businessman, rather than offending him, it is better to leave this room for everything, and deal with it again in the future, which can also avoid some unnecessary embarrassment.

"Lord Ding is polite, then I will thank you for your general kindness on behalf of the little girl." Qin Congwen was also not polite, and took it with both hands. He knew that only by doing this himself, would the other party be sure that he would really let his daughter help.

The three of them were polite for a while, and Ding Huaiyuan said goodbye to Gao Liren. Qin Congwen sent the two to the gate of the Qin Mansion in a row, and watched the two of them disappear on horseback to the other end of the street, then turned around and walked back.

"Father, what is the origin of the tall man? I see that Ding Huaiyuan seems to be afraid of him. The father and son said as they walked, and they came all the way to the side hall.

The father and son usually like to discuss and study some business matters in the small side hall. When the girls saw the two coming, they hurriedly saluted, and the little maid who was standing at the door hurriedly opened the door, and after the two entered the hall, the little maid quickly closed the door. The movements are fast and not chaotic, and at first glance they are specially trained.

The subordinates stayed for tea and hurriedly retreated. They all know the rules, the master is quiet, if he doesn't have an order, he doesn't have to wait in front of him at all.

"This tall man, presumably his official position is much higher than Ding Huaiyuan! Ding Huaiyuan is completely looking at his face and doing things, as for what kind of official he is, it has nothing to do with us. As long as you don't provoke him. Qin Congwen didn't have a good impression of this tall man who suddenly appeared, if it weren't for him, maybe the thief wouldn't have entered the Qin Mansion in a panic.

"Ding Huaiyuan is the guardian of a city, not big or small, it can be regarded as a four-grade. I'm afraid this Gao Liren is not small! ”

The father and son were somewhat confused about this tall man who was born out of nowhere, and they didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe for a while, and where they came from.

"You said, could it be that Ding Huaiyuan couldn't get married, so he came up with such an idea to find our family's bad luck?" Although Qin Zicheng has been working on some family businesses since he was fifteen years old, he is still young after all, and he has experienced less about some things, so he naturally thinks less, and he intuitively feels that Ding Huaiyuan is here to take revenge for what happened back then.

"No, Ding Huaiyuan can achieve today's position, and he is by no means a narrow-minded person who will make trouble for a little thing."

Earlier, Ding Huaiyuan had sent someone to the house to say goodbye, and wanted to ask for the second lady to marry his only son, but Qin Qian's heart was not yet ready at that time, so Fang Wanru refused. Now that the son of his Ding family has married, he must not have taken the matter to heart. If he was really a person who took revenge for such a trivial matter, I am afraid that he would not be able to get to this position today, and he would have let the enemy pull off the horse a long time ago.

The father and son didn't say a few words about their homely words, and then turned to business again.

"Zicheng, how did you think about the things that your father asked you to consider?" Qin Congwen took a sip of tea, put it in the teacup, and looked at his eldest son with a serious face.

Qin Zicheng looked embarrassed: "Father, I understand that you are for my good, and also for the good of our entire Qin family, but it has only been long since I got married to Qingyue, and it is unfair to her to take a concubine immediately." ”

"When are you still here? It is also common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and besides, this matter is related to the business of our Qin family, and it is a matter of importance! For many years, we have only run a family business in the south of Taizhou, but we have never touched it in the north! Now is a good opportunity, as long as you marry the daughter of the Qi family as a flat wife, we can get through the pass of the capital, which is an excellent opportunity for the Qin family. "Qin Congwen has been in business for many years, and he knows that marriage is an excellent opportunity for the Qin family to enhance their strength. The Qi family is a big family in the north, and it is also an imperial businessman, with a deep foundation, a large family business, and a personal relationship that the Qin family can't even match, if it is really possible to take the daughter of the Qi family, the strength of the Qin family will be strengthened a lot.

"Flat wife?" Qin Zicheng couldn't help but raise his voice: "Isn't it a concubine?" How can it be a flat wife. ”

Qin Congwen put down the teacup in his hand and said in a tough tone: "What kind of family is the Qi family, how can it be possible to marry your daughter into someone else as a concubine?" You don't want to think about it, it's a treasure that people hold in the palm of their hands, and it is a blessing for our family to marry into our family, and it is also cultivated by you. Although she is a concubine, she is a man who does not lose to men. I've heard people mention that she's really talented. ”

Qin Zicheng secretly slandered, but he was just a concubine, what if he was talented? Can you still get past the Lin family? It's just that he fell in love with the powerful mother's family behind the family, so he said that he was like a flower, which made the Lin family unbearable.

Qin Zicheng was embarrassed, his father had a tough attitude, and he was afraid that he would not stop thinking about letting him marry the daughter of the Qi family. Taking a concubine is already the limit of the Lin family, if she wants to marry a flat wife, how will she react? How can I tell her?
