Chapter 577: A Farce
Chu Zhao never dreamed that he wanted to be a spectator who had nothing to do with himself, listening to what others were saying about the Chu family, but he was inexplicably set on fire.
Now the room full of people are looking at him, and the initiator is even more interested in staring at him.
Chu Zhao was not very happy, and even more unhappy was Youzhong.
When he was still a small servant, he waited beside Chu Zhao, taking care of his daily life, needless to say, he accompanied Zhao Chu, who was still a young master, to study during the day, and rested on his couch at night.
In Youzhong's heart, Chu Zhao is his own sky, and anyone who is disrespectful to Chu Zhao is like asking for his life.
"This little brother, you talk about you, we are just a few outsiders passing by, we don't know what is going on here, and it's not good to comment on others." Youzhong's expression was very displeased, and he continued: "My lord has been in a carriage all the way, his back is sore, and he is about to take a good rest at this moment, where is the time to talk to you about these irrelevant things?" "Hmph, it's just that you criticize my young master, and you're still here to embarrass my master, what a bunch of crazy people.
Qin Dai smiled unmindingly, and said loudly: "I think this old man is also a temperamental, so I sincerely invited him, but I didn't expect you, the big housekeeper next to him, to be so hypocritical!" ”
"You ......" Youzhong has followed Chu Zhao for so many years, and his identity and status have changed little by little, in recent years, few people have dared to talk to him like this, but this person is still a kid who hasn't grown all his hair.
"What? Am I not right? If your lord wants to rest, why don't you go to the inn, why don't you go to the private room on the second floor, and return the money to the shopkeeper, and find a place to listen to fun on this floor? Qin Daixin looked at Youzhong's green and white face, and said mockingly: "This teahouse and wine shop is a place to tell people about things, if the old man wants to be quiet." You can go home and rest. ”
The room was full of laughter, but they couldn't help but nod.
Youzhong suffered a loss, but he couldn't make a statement, and now his family is in a mess, and it is really not appropriate to cause more trouble at this time. Even if he knew that this was the case, he couldn't swallow this breath lightly, so Youzhong had to clench his fists and forcibly press down the anger in his chest.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this little brother, it is my men who have been reckless. Don't be surprised! Chu Zhao stood up. He arched his hand to the people in the hall and said, "What you are talking about today." I listened to it hastily, and I didn't know what was going on, so it was really not suitable for this mouth. Besides, I'm older, and I don't have as much energy as this little brother. Quarrel with people, compete for long and short, face is not red, and breathless. Chu Zhao smiled and shook his head, "I'm old, I can't be stimulated, and if I get excited, my body won't be able to bear it." Everyone, forgive me, forgive me. His temples were slightly white. It does look older than the actual age.
After saying that, no one is saying anything, yes, people are so old, and they are here to have a good time. What if a few words don't agree and someone gets sick?
The shopkeeper of Qingfeng Teahouse has been secretly anxious for a long time, for fear that these people will not agree with each other and start to move on their own territory, and now watching a storm will dissipate invisibly, he has a lot of peace in his heart, if this is really a fight, the loss is specified a lot, and the young man and the old man seem to be people with a lot of backgrounds, and they don't have to suffer a dumb loss, and they can't even get compensation.
It's best not to fight, it's best not to fight.
"Huh? Where did Liu En go? ”
I don't know who shouted this voice, and the hall became lively again.
"I was here just now." Someone looked around a few times, and saw that there was no figure of the person named Liu En in the hall, so he said, "Why is it that the work is missing for a while." ”
"I'm afraid I took the opportunity to slip away, right? If it were me, I would have run away, and I wouldn't be sick, wouldn't it be possible to stay and be scolded? Someone laughed a few more times, and their faces were full of mockery.
"This Liu En, his legs and feet are really fast."
"It's not fast, it's also laughed at if you stay, it's better to leave quickly, and you finally get to know each other."
Everyone, you and I seem to have forgotten what just happened.
"Hey, have you heard, there is a new lady in the Lichun Courtyard of the Flower Lane in the back street, who looks like a water spirit, I heard that it is a fallen out of the big family in the south, and now it is the Oiran of the Lichun Courtyard, and the Oiran of the Xianghe Building diagonally opposite is compared......"
Everyone seemed to have reached some kind of consensus, and suddenly turned the topic to the side matter, and the people in the house began to talk about the lady of Lichun Courtyard, and forgot about Chu Tianheng's disaster to the country and the people.
Qin Daixin had already sat back slowly, and while she was drinking tea, she listened to those people talk about the Oiran.
Chu Zhao in the corner secretly looked at Qin Daixin carefully, and after a few glances, he shook his head at Youzhong.
Youzhong seemed to be very unwilling, but there was no other way but to nod.
The hall was in a mess, the sound of talking, laughter was louder than the other, singing with the young guys, and the sound of pouring tea was loud.
After a quarter of an hour, the group of people in the corner seemed to have rested enough, and they all stood up and walked out, and when they arrived at Qin Daixin's table, the person who looked like a butler with a goatee snorted softly, and his disdain was overflowing.
Qin Daixin pretended not to hear.
The fat shopkeeper came out like a dog's leg to see each other off, and watched a few people get into the carriage, and gradually went away, before returning to the house.
Qin Daixin gently pulled Lingzi, Lingzi understood what she meant, and stood up at the moment, the master and servant pretended to be casual, and walked out in a chic manner, Qin Daixin also said as she walked: "It's not whether the lady of Lichun Courtyard is really that good, if you are free another day, you should also go to see and see." "Anyway, she really didn't seem to have been to a brothel.
Others won't care when they hear this, just if he is young and romantic, just laugh and laugh.
Reiko didn't know whether it was true or not, and said softly while being anxious: "Miss, are you really going?" The prince knew that he was afraid that he was going to eat people. ”
At this moment, the master and servant had already left the Qingfeng Teahouse and came to the main street.
"Nonsense, of course it's fake."
When Lingzi heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, followed closely behind Qin Daixin, and asked, "Miss, why did you provoke those outsiders?" ”
Provoke?
Qin Daixin frowned, "Provocation, what word do you use?" ”
Reiko disagreed, "Originally, you are really stupid to be a slave, can't you see the height of your eyebrows?" Okay, what are you provoking them for? ”
Qin Dai smiled in her heart and said, "I'm happy!" ”
What is the answer?
Lingzi was obedient, and when she saw that Qin Dai didn't say anything, she didn't ask anymore. What the young lady doesn't want to say, it's in vain to ask.
The master and servant finally didn't forget what they were doing when they came out, and the two of them went to a few shops one after another, and selected two kinds of good clothes and materials, gold and jade jewelry, and packed them in a brocade box, carried by Lingzi, and went back to Qin's mansion.
Qin Daixin returned to Changxiao Garden, and asked people to bring water to wait for her to bathe, she hurriedly took a bath, changed into sticky clothes, and sat at the desk in a daze.
Reiko was stunned, "Miss, don't you go to the second grandmother?" "Isn't it just to give things away when you buy them? Why don't you go now?
"Don't go first, just leave the things there, and when to go."
Qin Dai's heart fell into her own thoughts again.
Reiko was not surprised, and simply moved a few to the side.
Qin Daixin took a sip of tea, and then remembered what happened in the teahouse just now.
Who are those outsiders, and what do they have to do with the Chu family? Judging from the accent, these people should be southerners, and their status is not low, even if they are not from a family of eunuchs, they are definitely from high-ranking families.
Southerner, richly dressed, temperamental, the old man should not be very old, in his forties, but his hair is a lot whiter, his hands are well maintained, at a glance you know that he is not a working person, his finger is wearing the ruby ring and the pigeon eggs of later generations. The goatee butler who followed him has a lot of temperament, but he is also a person who can bend and stretch, but unfortunately his concentration is still not enough, otherwise why would he snort beside him when he left!
When these people came, they didn't go to the private room on the second floor to sit, but they found a place to sit on the first floor, and they didn't eat a few bites of what they called......
I should also be here to listen to gossip and watch the excitement, right?
Qin Dai thought carefully about the situation at that time, and then thought about the figures, postures, and expressions of several people at that time, shook his head at the moment, and said secretly: If you listen to gossip and watch the excitement, why do you all have a sad face? On his face, there was no curiosity in his eyes, but he looked very depressed, especially the one who was in charge, with a sad and indignant expression, and he was all pretending to be indifferent......
Sure enough, after a while, Qin Daixin shouted: "Grinding ink." ”
Reiko hurriedly stood up, walked to the desk in a few steps, filled some water with a small spoon, dripped it into the inkstone, opened the ink cartridge again, selected a used ink strip, and slowly sharpened the ink.
Qin Dai took the pen and dipped it in ink, thought about it for a while, and then wrote it smoothly, and after a while, he wrote a few pieces of paper with enthusiasm.
She took out an envelope from her desk, blew the written letters one by one, folded them and put them in the envelope, took out a small box from the desk, took the fire fold directly, and lit the fire paint to seal the envelope.
"You personally delivered it to the hands of the Huang Governor." Qin Daixin gave the letter to Lingzi and said, "I'll go immediately." ”
Lingzi hurriedly took it and wanted to send it to the hands of Huang Zhifu, no wonder it was going to be sealed with fire paint.
She didn't say a word, and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Qin Dai thought for a while before saying, "You asked him to open the letter in front of you, and after reading it, he will reply to me." ”
Lingzi nodded, silently memorized Qin Dai's instructions in her heart, and then turned around and left.

There is also a chapter, and another ticket is sought.
