Chapter 124: Coaxing the Su Clan
Qin Congwen was sitting on a Huanghuali chair in the side hall drinking tea.
Tea is good, but not as good as people's mood.
Although the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce has ended, he still has some unfinished business. After all, it is a rare event, and it is really rare. Not only did he meet the representatives of the four major families and talk with them very happily, but he also invited the helmsman of the Qi family to come to his house for dinner, how could he not be happy!
What kind of family the Qi family is, and being willing to accept his invitation, that illustrates an attitude. Zicheng's matter of marrying a flat wife, ** is not far away.
Thinking of this, Qin Congwen became even happier, and the fatigue of the day seemed to disappear without a trace at this moment! As long as Zicheng marries the daughter of the Qi family, are you still afraid that the Qin family will have no business to do in the north? I'm afraid that even in the palace, there will be a few dollars to make, and the Qin family will be on the rise. There is also Zixin, which is a good material for reading, and has passed the children's exam, as long as you play well, this year's autumn will definitely be on the list! In this way, his identity has changed, as long as he is lifted, he is a person with meritorious fame, and with the Qin family, there are naturally many countless benefits. He is still young, if he can continue to study, if he is lucky, with the blessing of his ancestors and achieves fame, it will be even better. The two brothers, supporting each other, are the Qin family's lives still prosperous?
Just thinking about it, Qin Congwen suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door, coming from far and near. The subordinates know his rules, and at this time, if there is no important matter, no one will disturb him.
Qin Congwen was quiet for a rare moment, but when he saw that he was about to be disturbed, he was very unhappy, and before the person arrived, he was annoyed for three points first. Fang Wanru pushed the door with the Lin family, and because she was worried that the matter was too big, she couldn't care about so much etiquette, so she only shouted in a low voice: "Master, it's not good." ”
How did she know that Qin Congwen was annoyed, and after listening to her words, she was annoyed again.
"Why are you so flustered? There's not even a rule left? Qin Congwen wanted to exude the resentment in his heart, but he didn't expect the Lin family to be there. In front of his daughter-in-law, Fang Wanru's face was lost, and he was also very uncomfortable, and pretended to cough a few times to hide the discomfort on his face.
The Lin family has always been a polite person, and at that scene, she pretended not to see it, stepped forward to greet Qin Congwen, and tried to ignore Fang Wanru's dark face.
"The master will hide and be idle, but I don't know that something big has happened in the family?" Fang Wanru is also angry, she is in charge of everything at home and abroad, and there is no credit and hard work, isn't it? Why do you still count yourself in front of your daughter-in-law? You must know that for this important dinner tonight, she has been busy for half a month without touching the ground, and has pushed a lot of family and friend gatherings in the New Year, how can she get such a sentence in the end?
"What's the matter, ma'am?" Qin Congwen sorted out his mood a little and asked why Fang Wanru came.
Fang Wanru was angry for no reason, and she didn't bother to pay attention to him, so she asked the Lin family to learn the matter from beginning to end again.
"This unfilial girl." Qin Congwen stood up from the chair violently, his brows tightly twisted into the word "Chuan". The Qi family is about to come to the door at night, and at such a critical moment, she actually caused such a big mess for herself.
"Give me the mouth of the subordinate to be tighter, cover this matter more tightly, especially the old lady and Yilan, you must not reveal the slightest tone. The dinner party at home was prepared as usual, and I found a few reliable people and scattered them to find them. "It's already happened, it's useless to be anxious, the most important thing now is that this matter can't be known to the Qi family no matter what. There is a woman like this, and the family is unlucky, but I am afraid that because of this incident, it will affect the Qi family's good impression of the Qin family.
Lin said hurriedly: "Father-in-law, don't you report to the official?" ”
Qin Congwen waved his hand, "Find it first, if there is no news, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
Lin's heart was cold, a good girl, is so unimportant?
Fang Wanru understood Qin Congwen's thoughts, and knew that he put the matter of Zicheng marrying a flat wife in the first place, and she was a little happier in her heart, and said: "It's good to say that my mother has not seen her for a few days, and the concealment will pass." It's just that Su Shi's place, Xiao San'er goes three times a day on weekdays, how can he hide it? ”
"Yilan has a body, and she must not be allowed to know." The tone was unquestionable, which made Fang Wanru very unhappy. It's just that she also knows that this is not the time to be sour and jealous, of course, it is a big matter.
"Zicheng daughter-in-law, I'll leave this matter to you!" Fang Wanru probably felt that the Lin family was too close to Qin Daixin, so she handed over this tricky matter to her to deal with. Knowing that he has always disliked the three girls, and he walks around with her regardless of distance and distance, isn't this her naked demonstration to her mother-in-law?
In fact, she thinks too much, and Lin doesn't bother to do such things as demonstrations.
But since Fang Wanru ordered it, she could only do it, she didn't want to be said to be unfilial. It's just that a young lady was lost in the house for no reason, can't you really think of any other way than to quietly find someone?
Lin glanced up at Qin Congwen, and felt that he, who was a father, was nothing more than that, when the third young lady was kidnapped and injured by thieves, he was not like this, how could he suddenly become cold! When she looked at Wanru above, she fully understood that the two of them had something to say, probably to talk about the arrival of distinguished guests at night, and they must have been afraid that this sudden event would disrupt their plans.
Thinking of this, Lin bent down and saluted: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, daughter-in-law will retire first." Aunt Lan's place, the daughter-in-law will go and say. ”
Fang Wanru said: "Go down!" Then she didn't signal to Qin Congwen that she had something to say.
Lin quietly withdrew from the side hall, and his heart was desolate.
In Qin Daixin's Changxiao Garden, Ruyi and Chunli are wiping their tears! Chunli cried a little silently, blaming her, why is she so greedy, if she listens to Sister Ruyi's and accompanies Miss, how can there be such a heart-piercing thing now.
When Lin entered the house, he saw such a scene. Ruyi's eyes were red and she saluted, but Chunli was crying vigorously, and she couldn't stand on her feet and leaned on another girl dressed as a second-class girl.
Even the girl is so affectionate, but her father-in-law only allows people in the house to secretly look for it, and does not report to the official. If the person was really kidnapped, Lin bit his lip unconsciously, just afraid of ......
She collected her thoughts, admonished herself not to be cranky, and looked at the only calm person in the room.
Yan's.
She had only met once, and knew that it was Qin Dai's mother in charge in her heart, but she didn't know if it was because she hadn't followed her for a long time, and Lin couldn't see a trace of sadness in her eyes.
When something happens to the master, the composure of being a slave is either that he has no master in his heart, and he feels that even the pretending sadness is redundant, or he can hold it steady. "Steady" also has two meanings, one is not panicked and calm; The second is ......
Thinking of this, Lin couldn't help but look up and down at Yan's, the whole person was clean, she was already fair-skinned, and a little dress up made people feel very comfortable, neither ostentatious nor exaggerated, it looked like she was right.
Could it be that this person is the real confidant of the third sister?
Lin pointed at Yan's and asked, "Only a few people know about the third lady's accident, you are the people around her, so you naturally know how powerful this matter is, and you can't talk nonsense." But there is a dilemma in front of me......"
When Ruyi heard this, several people hurriedly came to the front, "Young grandma, what's the matter?" ”
Lin sighed, "Auntie, there must be an explanation." ”
Several girls looked at each other and were at a loss for a while. Aunt there, how do you explain it? The young lady was going to sit in her aunt's house every day, and she was in a hurry this morning, so she didn't go. Before leaving, the young lady specially instructed Xue Qing to send a message to her aunt, saying that she would definitely come to her house to sit down when she came back, but now, ......
Yan volunteered and stepped forward and said, "If the young grandmother is relieved, this matter will be left to me." The slave and maid must do it properly, and there will be no mistakes. "After all the calculations, I still didn't expect that the third lady Qin Daixin would have an accident, but the incident happened suddenly, and it just happened, and it should be too late now. As long as she has time to inform the person who the master has installed in Taizhou, there should be news of the young lady soon, and there will definitely be results before dinner at the latest.
Now I just hope that those thieves are money-loving and didn't hurt the third lady, otherwise the consequences are really not something she can imagine, not only those thieves, but I'm afraid that their mothers will have to confess!
Lin thought to herself, this Yan family really has the bottom in her heart, otherwise, how could she say such confident words? In this way, Lin Shi let go of his heart and asked softly, "Are you completely sure?" ”
Based on what she had seen and heard, the Su clan was not a fool.
"Young grandmother, rest assured." The voice is calm and powerful, neither humble nor overbearing, which makes people listen to it steadily.
Lin said: "This matter will be handed over to you." After speaking, she turned around and walked out of Qin Daixin's house, took people back to her yard, and solemnly pressed the spirit talisman that Qin Daixin asked for her under the pillow that night. In the eyes of the Lin family, Qin Daixin is a blessed person, even if her whereabouts are unknown at this time, but there is a servant woman like the Yan family by her side, which is not simple. I hope she can also be killed this time and return safely.
Yan briefly sorted it out, comforted Ruyi and Chunli a few words, and went to Su's orchid garden.
When Yan entered the house, Xue Qing was doing needlework with Fang Qiao outside the Ambiguous Pavilion, Su and the nurse were talking inside, and when they saw Yan coming, they naturally looked behind her, but there was no one.
Also, how can the master walk behind the slave and the maid? It's that she's too anxious.
"Where's your young lady?" Another meaning of Su's words is to ask - Qin Dai's heart is back, something happened along the way, but is it okay?
Yan Shi gave a salute and said: "At this hour, Miss naturally returned, but Mrs. was in high spirits, pulled the young grandmother, the second miss, and asked a lot of words, and the third and fourth ladies naturally had to accompany them." Today, Miss traveled a qiē shun lì, but I didn't buy anything, there were many people not to say, crowded and noisy, Miss remembered her aunt's words, afraid of any chaos, so she didn't leave the young grandmother one step, and the aunt was relieved. It's just that when she came back from Madame's place, she was afraid that it was already late, so she didn't come, so as not to disturb her aunt's rest, and after asking Madame to say goodbye tomorrow, she would come over to talk to her aunt again, so that she could talk about the lively events at yesterday's flower party. ”
Yan's words are reasonable, so that Su, who has always been smart, can't find the slightest fault.
"In this way, I am relieved. To be honest, if it weren't for Ah Li, I would have rested a long time ago. "She was getting heavier and heavier, and she was already sleepy.
"Auntie rest early, I took Xueqing girl back, when Miss comes back, I will inevitably ask this girl a few words about my aunt."
Su smiled, this daughter is getting more and more intimate.
"You two go back together!"
That's what the Yan family wanted, so he hurriedly quit the Su family, took Xue Qing out of the Orchid Garden, and walked all the way to Changxiao Garden.
Xue Qing didn't know the inside story, and said, "Mother, is Miss still at Madame's place at this time?" ”
Yan Shi stopped abruptly, turned around and looked at Xue Qing, "Miss has an accident." ”
