Chapter 246: Horse, Incense
According to Qin Daixin's instructions, Lingzi chose a quiet residence in a separate courtyard for Su Zhongda and his wife, and arranged the same living needs, and left a lot of money for the couple to live. Qin Daixin said that because considering that there are patients at home and there are many places to use money, let Lingzi not be stingy and keep more money. As for Lingzi, although she was reluctant in her heart, she didn't dare to disobey Qin Daixin's orders, so after weighing it, she left two hundred taels of silver for the two of them.
Two hundred taels is enough for a family of five to live for more than ten years.
Su Zhongda and the Song family, never dreamed that Qin Daixin would treat them like this. The two of them thanked each other for their kindness, but they didn't offer Lingzi as a bodhisattva.
Although Reiko is not very interested in these two people, they are relatives of their own masters after all, and even if they do something unforgivable, they are not something that she can blame as a subordinate.
By the time Lingzi finished arranging a qiē and came back to talk to Qin Daixin, it was already late.
After settling Su Zhongda and his family, Qin Dai's heart was a matter of concern.
Although the sudden appearance of Su Zhongda and Song made her feel surprised, this accident made her very satisfied.
These two people were the culprits of the Su family's change from wife to concubine back then, and in other words, they were also the most powerful witnesses of the Fang family.
As long as they are willing to testify against the Fang family at a critical moment, she can not blame the past, I believe that although the Su family resents them, they are not willing to watch Su Zhongda go to the end of the mountain, after all, the two are compatriots of the same mother, although the Su family must have resented and hated. But Qin Daixin believed that as long as Tie Weiyang appeared and the twins were born safely, this resentment would soon disappear.
In other words, whether she helped Su Zhongda or took in Su Zhongda, it was for the Su family.
The day soon came to the ninth day of the fourth month, and on this day, Qin Daixin suddenly received a notice from Cui's mother that the eldest princess held a banquet to entertain her in the princess's mansion. Please be sure to dress up.
Another feast? Still dressed up?
Wasn't the princess the only one who entertained her this time?
It's possible that the identity of the eldest princess is there! She is a noblewoman, and she has a small gathering with the minister's wife from time to time. It can also be regarded as an indispensable part of the life of courtiers.
"Reiko, you can help me prepare!" Qin Dai didn't want to go, there have always been many places with women, she didn't want to get involved, but she thought about it again. Maybe the eldest princess just wants her to have fun, anyway, she is also idle, so she should watch a play, she is a common person, she can't help but sell the princess a face!
Reiko responded crisply, and hurriedly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find clothes. It's not too early, she has to be quick.
When the prince sent the young lady back, he also gave a lot of clothes.
"Miss. How about wearing this set? ”
Lingzi held a set of aqua blue dresses in her hand, and showed it to Qin Daixin as if offering a treasure, the material of the dress was shining, and there were many complicated patterns embroidered with gold thread on it, and the long skirt almost dragged to the ground. It's a bit like a modern mermaid dress.
"Change." Qin Daixin's eyebrows unconsciously tightened, she didn't like complicated. Didn't like it at all.
Reiko nodded, it seems that Miss likes plain and elegant.
Reiko put the clothes in her hand aside, turned around and ran to the cage, and found a set of crescent-white threaded skirts, this skirt was very elegant, the neckline and cuffs were embroidered with pink roses, and the lush branches on the skirt added a lot of color to the original elegant clothes.
"Miss, how is this set? The style is simple enough, but it's a little plain. Reiko tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Will others think that we don't pay attention?" ”
Qin Dai thought of the Su family, she especially preferred the crescent moon white.
"That's it!" What do you do to pay attention to other people's eyes and dress comfortably?
"Okay."
Lingzi happily helped Qin Daixin get dressed, "Miss, didn't Mother Cui send a message, saying that she wanted Sheng Makeup to attend?" How about some expensive and gorgeous jewelry? ”
Qin Daixin sat in front of the dresser and sat quietly.
Reiko is combing her hair with a comb.
"No, it's easy." It's not like meeting some big guy and dressing himself up like an upstart.
Reiko said very seriously: "The princess may have invited a lot of Mrs. Fate, and the young lady also knows that there are a lot of major events happening during this time, and the princess must be holding this banquet at this time in order to appease people's hearts." If you want me to say, we can't be too pure. Reiko's slender fingers picked up Qin Daixin's hair, twisting them into various shapes from time to time.
Qin Daixin pondered for a while, and felt that the eldest princess's banquet was a bit strange.
The corruption case has just been hammered, and the traitor case has just surfaced, the eldest princess should avoid suspicion at this time, right? Why do you still hold a banquet in the princess's mansion with great fanfare?
Qin Daixin's mind unconsciously flashed the look of the horse looking at her at the last banquet.
I'm afraid that there will be no good feast.
Can she not go?
The horse had already drawn her and Prince Rui into a circle, she had no way to hide, there was no way to avoid it, no matter whether it was a mountain of swords or a sea of fire in front of her, she had to participate in this banquet.
"Reiko, go and get my pair of Emei thorns." Qin Dai thought for a moment, and called Lingzi back again, "Forget it, don't bring it." "Her hole card princess knows, and the colt also knows, she just hid the weapon, but I'm afraid it won't be of much use, and if it's not good, she has to be charged with an intention to assassinate.
Qin Daixin looked at herself who had already dressed up in the mirror, and laughed at herself slightly, why was her life so bitter? Even if you live again, you will still be born and die.
"Miss, you can go, the Zheng family's carriage is already waiting outside." Reiko didn't know when she ran out and ran back.
Qin Daixin nodded, "Don't go, take care of the house." "I don't know if this trip is a blessing or a curse, there is no way to risk herself, if she can, she doesn't want Reiko to be implicated.
Reiko was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "How can that work?" The slave maid will follow the young lady for the rest of her life, and she can't escape from the battle. ”
Funk? Did even Reiko smell the unusual and dangerous smell in the air?
Reiko's eyes sparkled with determination, as if she already knew what she was going to face.
Qin Dai glanced at her gratefully. This girl has not been by her side for a long time, but she not only takes care of her diet and daily life, but also obeys her own words, and even knows that she may encounter danger tonight and cannot retreat, but she is still willing to follow her.
"Okay, now that you've decided, let's go now!"
Reiko nodded excitedly, Miss thought like this, did she just think she was her own?
The master and servant came to the outer room. Reiko hurriedly went to open the door.
Qin Daixin took advantage of this gap and slammed a palm on her neck, and Lingzi's body became weak. Slowly falling to the ground, the whole person lost consciousness and fell into darkness.
Qin Daixin carried Lingzi to the big kang by the window outside and put it away, and glanced at the girl silently, then turned around and left the house. got into the carriage prepared for her by the Zheng Mansion early in the morning, and slowly drove towards the princess's mansion.
Without Reiko's company, the carriage ride seems to be extraordinarily long, obviously it is still the same road, or the same destination, but this trip seems to be different from before.
Qin Dai smiled secretly. Is she becoming timid? Afraid of dying?
Somewhere in her heart suddenly softened, did she have concern?
The carriage came to a halt suddenly, and the carriage shook slightly for two hours. Gradually, it calmed down.
"Girl, we're here." An unfamiliar voice floated over.
The carriage door was opened from the outside, and a step bench was placed.
Qin Daixin got out of the carriage and glanced up at the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
It's still gorgeous, but there's a quiet smell wafting through every corner.
The silence is all too unusual.
Someone came to lead the way. "Miss Qin, please."
Qin Daixin nodded and followed the man towards the princess's mansion. The zigzag corridor seemed to have no end, and the man took Qin Daixin to a courtyard, and then disappeared.
This is a small courtyard, but only three main rooms, looking at the layout and decoration of the courtyard, this should not be a place where princesses and concubines often come. The courtyard was dark, with only two inconspicuous little lamps hanging under the porch, how could the man bring her here?
Just as she was thinking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the horse master stood at the door and looked at her.
It's not that simple.
It's obviously a post from the eldest princess, but why is the person who came a colt? Isn't he always a wooden look, not good at words? Why is there a person here at this time, don't you avoid suspicion?
"Miss Qin, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The dim light shone on the colt's face, and he seemed to be calm, but the glint in his eyes betrayed his mind.
This man's heart is by no means as calm as his face.
Qin Daixin nodded slightly, "Master Ma is looking for a people's girl, what is the so-called matter?" She didn't mention the eldest princess at all, and she already knew in her heart that this qiē was all a calculation of the concubine and had nothing to do with the princess.
The horse nodded appreciatively, and said that the artist is bold, and this girl is extraordinary, presumably because of her martial arts.
"Miss Qin, I have something I want to ask you for help."
Help? She heard her right, right?
Qin Dai looked at the concubine with a slight puzzlement, "The people's ability is low, I'm afraid I can't help the concubine." ”
The colt came out of the house, climbed the steps and stood in the courtyard, keeping a distance of about six or seven years from Qin Daixin.
Qin Daixin watched the colt get closer to her little by little, unmoved.
The horse said: "This is really a busy girl who has to go out in person." The concubine changed his polite appearance in the past, and the expression on his face suddenly became weird, "Prince Rui is busy with political affairs, if even Miss Qin can't invite him, then there is really no way." ”
How do you mention Prince Rui?
Qin Dai suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and in the next second, a faint fragrance lingered between her snorts, which seemed to be a floral fragrance, but it was different.
Qin Daixin only felt dizzy, her eyes turned black, and then she fell to the ground all of a sudden.
