Qin Dai squinted her eyes and glanced at the Chu family's mansion.

It is long overdue to inquire where the Chu family is staying.

At this time, a merchant passed in front of the Chu family with a burden.

In front of it is a wide street, lined with tall trees that go straight into the sky, and there are many courtyards with red bricks and green tiles, and the merchants come to do the business of those girls in the house.

Qin Dai's heart flashed, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the merchant, "Brother, stay." ”

The merchant who carried the burden was only in his early twenties, and he was quite tall, dark-skinned, and mediocre in appearance.

"This son, what's the matter?"

Qin Dai only said in her heart: "Take a step to speak." ”

said that it didn't matter whether people were happy or not, he was stunned and pulled the burden of others to a secluded place.

Xue Qing shook her head in the back, the master acted like this, it was really ......

I hope the prince doesn't get angry.

The merchant put down the burden, first wiped the sweat on his forehead with the sweat towel wrapped around his neck, and then picked up a somewhat rough lady fan from the burden and kept fanning, "I said this son, what are you pulling me here for?" What I sell here is all my daughter's household things, if you are idle and have nothing to do, you can go to the birds, fight crickets, and don't delay the villain's business. The tone was very unpleasant.

Qin Dai's face darkened, and she dared to treat her as a gentleman.

Xue Qing wanted to laugh, and twisted her head to the side very unnaturally.

"Little brother, that's it."

Qin Daixin took out a small silver ingot, put it in the merchant's hand and said, "There is little brother Lao." ”

When the merchant saw the silver, he was still unhappy, but he walked around the streets and alleys to do business, heard a lot and saw a lot, and he was also a very thoughtful person, and knew that some silver could not be obtained. Hurriedly said: "I don't know what the son commands?" This silver, the small one is useless. ”

So he said it, but he clenched the silver tightly.

Qin Dai smiled and said continuously: "It's not a big deal. She pointed to the Chu Mansion with her finger and said in a low voice: "There is a delicate maid in this house, she is my favorite, the two of us have made a private agreement for life, but she is a slave of someone else's family, and she can't make her own decisions about lifelong affairs, and my family ...... Alas. He is also quite famous, how can he agree to me marrying a slave maid as his wife? ”

The merchant suddenly showed an expression that had been like this.

Qin Dai smiled secretly, and made a sad look on her face. He also said: "Alas, these days I have been detained by my father and mother at home to study, and she can't help herself, and she has no chance to leave the house." The two of us haven't seen each other for more than a month, and I don't know if she has forgotten about me. ”

The merchant looked at her with sympathetic eyes, "I haven't seen you in a month?" Oh, I see, his master is here. She doesn't have time, don't worry. ”

"His master?" Qin Daixin hurriedly said, "Didn't you say that this house has been empty and no one lives in it?" I listened to her. His master has always been in the south! ”

The merchant said: "I'm not talking nonsense, I'm walking the streets and alleys, and I may have heard a lot of news." ”

"Yes, yes, or I wouldn't have asked you for news, wouldn't I." Qin Daixin took out a small silver ingot and stuffed it into his hand, "I hope the little brother will tell me more." ”

The merchant didn't hesitate this time. He happily put the windfall close to him, and then began to talk endlessly. Indeed, the head of this family was in the south, and it was not until a month ago that the head of his house went north. I've heard that their family has brought a lot of things, and there are as many as five carriages, and there are many followers who come with them, but there are no mothers-in-law, girls, and they seem to be martial artists, but it's no wonder that people have a big business, and the south is far away from us, so we have to ask a dart master to escort ......."

Qin Daixin heard a little tired, and became more and more curious about the Chu family.

The merchant is a man of good words, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a river.

"Their family is quite mysterious, the gate is strict, and it is certainly not an ordinary family."

"Oh? How do you say that? ”

"I've passed by a few times, and the people who came were all martial artists on tall horses with guys in their waists." The merchant lowered his voice very low, "It's not like a serious businessman, it's like eating that mouthful." The man made a sword gesture.

alludes to the Chu family's friendship with people in the rivers and lakes, or ringing horses.

This merchant is really bold enough.

"Hey......" The merchant suddenly said: "There are no female dependents in their family, only three mothers-in-law and two maidservants, which one is the maid you are talking about?" ”

This merchant knows a lot, and he even knows how many mothers-in-law and maidservants he has? Qin Dai's heart was like he cast a puzzled gaze.

The merchant hurriedly explained: "My goods, either needles and threads, or rouge gouache, are all women's objects, I carry the burden every day between the back doors of the houses, and what I earn is the money of the maids and ladies in the house, you don't want to think about it, the rich housewives and ladies in the house, who will take a fancy to the goods in my burden?" ”

It's the truth.

The merchant said, "Once, their mother-in-law opened the corner door and called me over, and bought some silk thread from me, saying that she wanted to tie the ropes. Alas, you don't know, they are also not happy, they can only stay in this house, they do not see the master's house a few times a year, there is no reward, and there is no oil and water to fish, since then I have often gotten there, to bring them all kinds of silk thread for tying, after all, which one do you fancie? The merchant had a strange look on his face.

Qin Daixin immediately understood.

Most of the people who stayed in this house were unfounded and unfavored, even if they were young maids, they were afraid that their appearance was average, and this merchant was afraid that he had seen the two maids who stayed in this house, so he asked.

Qin Dai coughed pretending to be in her heart before she said, "The slightly taller one." ”

The merchant's expression instantly became extremely exciting, and he said, "Oh, well, Childe's eyes, it's really ......"

That girl's posture is probably not so simple.

Qin Daixin pretended not to see it, and asked again: "Did you say that because their lord's family came, so she didn't have time to see me, instead of forgetting me?" I said that I took the liberty to go to the door just to see a girl, would it be a bit rude? ”

The merchant couldn't help but think of the slightly taller maid, her muscular body, wide mouth and nose. Such a person is actually the "delicate" person in the mouth of this little boy? This master's preferences are really special.

"Isn't it, since his master came, those mothers-in-law have stopped taking threads from me, probably too busy to have time to make contacts. But I advise you not to come to the door so recklessly, their house is extremely strict, and the gatekeepers are fierce! ”

Qin Daixin pretended to be a little melancholy, "There is Brother Lao." ”

Qin Daixin arched her hand at him, obviously not wanting to ask anything.

The merchant wanted to speak and stopped. But in the end, he didn't say anything, just shook his head and carried the burden away.

Qin Dai watched the merchant leave, and then he thought about it.

"Xue Qing. What do you hear from the merchant's words? ”

Xue Qing thought for a moment before she said: "It's true that it's weird inside and out, the Chu family is a businessman, and it's also a wealthy businessman second to none, so it's normal for such a family to raise some nursing homes." But didn't the merchant say it, those people all had guys on them, and they didn't seem to be good, and the janitor really didn't look like an ordinary nurse. ”

That's eight points right.

Qin Daixin said again: "There is also Qi Baozhu." ”

"Oh, yes. How could this eldest lady Qi be with the Chu family? Although she is the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, it stands to reason that the two are not allowed to meet in private after they are married. can see the appearance of the eldest lady's old horse knowing the way, and it is clear that she has been here more than once. "It's a matter of etiquette.

Qin Daixin patted Xue Qing on the shoulder, "You stay here to see when she comes out and where she goes." "This she is naturally referring to Qi Baozhu.

Xue Qing nodded hurriedly. Then he asked, "What about you?" ”

"I'll go to the bookstore to listen to the book......"

Xue Qing: "......"

Qin Daixin didn't care about Xue Qing, so she took care of herself and left.

I was thinking about the Chu family all the way.

Chu family. What do you want from her? Was Qi Baozhu being used, or was she involved in these things?

I don't know why, she just felt that Qi Baozhu was deceived by the Chu family, and the Chu family's true intention to marry her must not be simple.

It was at this time that the bookstore arrived.

The junior apprentice who greeted the person at the door had already greeted him, "Yo, Master Mo, are you here?" As he spoke, he glanced behind him before he said, "Why didn't you bring anyone today?" ”

Qin Daixin raised her feet and walked inside, "One by one, they are in the way, I am annoying." ”

Every time Qin Daixin came, she wore men's clothes, not only did she have a fake beard on her face, but she also painted her face, neck and hands slightly darker, and her eyebrows were thicker and longer.

It's hard for ordinary people to let her be a woman.

The apprentice was clever and arranged a loose seat in a corner for Qin Daixin, with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.

There is actually a private room upstairs, and Qin Dai thinks that it is too closed and she can't hear anything, so every time she comes, she sits in an inconspicuous place downstairs. Qin Daixin ordered a pot of tea, two refreshments, and a plate of melon seeds as usual.

The junior apprentice said, "Master Mo will sit first, and the tea will come immediately." ”

Although it was a scattered seat, Qin Daixin's reward was never less than that of the gentlemen in the private room there, so the junior apprentices' attitude towards Qin Daixin was also extraordinarily courteous.

After a while, tea and other items were brought up.

Qin Daixin casually threw a piece of silver lump to the apprentice, which was two or two.

The little apprentice was so happy that he saw his teeth and eyes, and went down happily.

The storyteller on the stage is telling the story hard, he is wearing a robe, telling the story with a picture and color, while making various corresponding actions, this form of performance is very similar to the storytelling of later generations.

After a while, the junior apprentice ran back again, lowered his body slightly, and said, "Master Mo, there is a master upstairs who wants to invite you over to talk about it." ”

Qin Dai's heart wrinkled, and she subconsciously glanced in the direction pointed by the junior apprentice.

On the platform on the second floor, a man in a jade brocade robe was looking at her.

It turned out to be him.
