Chapter 303: Calculations
Xue Qing never understood what her master meant by the word "wait", but since the master said to wait, she must wait. The master and servant have nothing to do, every day except for eating, sleeping is to go to the street for a stroll, the days go by, Qin Daixin has no intention of going back to Xiaoqianzhuang, nor does she plan to go back to Qin's mansion, Xue Qing is secretly anxious, but she can't do anything.
Three days later, the news of the death of the eldest princess and the horse reached Taizhou, and Taizhou, which was thousands of miles away from the capital, suddenly became uncalm, and Qin Daixin finally took action and took Xueqing to the Qin Mansion to guard.
At the beginning, the Qin family was quite quiet, and there were no special circumstances, and then people from all walks of life came to the door, those people were wearing regular clothes, handed over the greetings of each family, and smashed the door of the Qin family. As for the Qin family, the carriage came in and went out, and the entertainment was in waves after waves, and the days of the busy traffic in front of the door lasted for several days, and the status of the Qin family seemed to be different all of a sudden.
Xue Qing followed Qin Daixin to squat for a few days, and gradually saw some doorways!
Since the death of the eldest princess, the sky of Taizhou City seems to have been cloudy, although the court said that the horse died of illness, but there are still many people who smell the fact that there seems to be another truth! The horse is a military general, and his health has always been good, why did he suddenly get sick, and he couldn't be saved by the medicine stone, and he said that he was dead? Isn't there anything to be scrutinized in?
There is only one reason why the Qin family can be looked at by people from all walks of life, Qin Daixin, the third lady of the Qin family, is loved by the eldest princess, and I am afraid that no one in the whole Taizhou does not know that she was taken into the capital for a long time, presumably she will come forward to inquire with the princess, and she will definitely be able to get a glimpse of the truth.
It's a terrible thing to be on the wrong side, and a lot of people don't want to be a second colt.
Qin Daixin hid in the corner of the wall and spit out the straw in her mouth, and sneered.
Xue Qing knew what was going on in her mind. asked tentatively, "Master, the government will definitely send someone to look for you in Zhuangzi, if you hide like this and don't show up, will you cause trouble for your aunt?" ”
Qin Daixin also knew that the Qin family would send someone to pick her up, it was just a matter of time, and the reason why she hadn't gone until now was because important people hadn't appeared yet.
"Don't worry, we'll be back by ourselves in a few days."
Xue Qing was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" ”
Qin Dai smiled. "Haven't you heard? The best defense is offense. ”
At this moment, another carriage slowly drove in the distance, and this carriage was extremely luxurious. More than any carriage that came to the Qin Mansion before, Qin Daixin pulled Xue Qing to hide in the dark, and slowly poked her head out and looked at the gate of the Qin Mansion.
After the carriage stopped, a middle-aged man dressed in civilian clothes got out of the carriage.
Qin Daixin quickly hid back in the shadows and sighed softly.
The surname is high. You did.
"Let's go, go back to the inn, and get ready to go home."
"Yes." Xue Qing didn't expect things to change so quickly, and hurriedly followed Qin Daixin's footsteps, the master and servant went all the way back to the inn, and Qin Daixin immediately began to arrange for her return to Qin's mansion.
They had to change back into women's clothes. Find another carriage and pretend to be rushing back from Komaezhuang.
Needless to say, this matter has to be handled by Xue Qing again. The two horses were too conspicuous, Xue Qing simply sold them by herself, and then hired a carriage and bought a few pieces of women's clothing and jewelry. This is barely done with the errand, and it is not in vain that she has been busy all afternoon.
The master and servant were silent all night.
The next day dawned. The two of them changed into women's clothes and left the Ping'an Inn, Xue Qing couldn't forget the look of the goatee shopkeeper at the checkout, as if she had seen a flood beast, thinking about it, the store that lived for several days, the master and servant had been showing people in men's clothes, and they changed back to women's clothes coldly, which was indeed weird.
The carriage was waiting outside the inn early, and when the coachman saw Xue Qing coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door of the carriage, and when both of them got into the car, he returned to the position of driving the car in front of him, and raised the whip in his hand to catch up with the car.
From the inn to the Qin family, it was only half a pillar of incense, Qin Daixin only felt that the carriage had just walked up, and then stopped, presumably at the main gate of the Qin Mansion.
The carriage really stopped leaving, and the coachman outside said humbly: "It's here." ”
Xue Qing got out of the car first, paid for the car, and then helped Qin Daixin get out of the carriage.
Someone in the concierge had sharp eyes, and he recognized Qin Daixin at once.
"It's the third lady who is back."
Qin Daixin didn't even raise her eyelids, and took Xue Qing into the house through the side door.
"Master, aren't we going to see your father?"
Qin Daixin took Xue Qing and continued to walk into her garden, "What's in a hurry, what should come will always come, even if he is not in a hurry, there will always be someone who will be in a hurry, we just need to wait and see what happens." ”
Xue Qing knew that the "he" in Qin Dai's heart should refer to Qin Congwen, the head of the Qin Mansion.
As soon as Qin Daixin stepped into Changxiao Garden, Qin Congwen got the news, he didn't know that Qin Daixin came back on purpose to hit the muzzle of the gun, and thought it was a coincidence!
Qin Congwen was very happy, and he had already thrown Qin Daixin's previous mistakes out of the clouds, and the lively and noisy scene in front of the Qin family during this time gave him an illusion, as if the Qin family had broken away from the ranks of businessmen and entered the upper class.
Qin Congwen also knew that his thoughts were a little self-deceptive, but he felt that as long as he planned well, his dream might not come true.
First of all, I have a son who is very good at studying, and he will take the exam this fall, if he is admitted to Xiucai, it is a terrible thing, after all, Qin Zixin's age is there, although a thirteen-year-old Xiucai is not a genius, but he is also a person with a small heart, as long as he opens up the joints, even if he can't take the exam in the future, it shouldn't be a problem to lift people.
In addition to real talent and practical learning, Qin Congwen believes that it is also very important to play the joints, and only when the upper and lower levels are well done, can they have the opportunity to be qualified for an official position with oil and water when they are released.
And this important task of opening up the joints was placed on Qin Daixin's body without hesitation.
Recently, the Qin family's liveliness has been caused by her, and there are really people who come to visit the dragon and phoenix, such as the one surnamed Gao. Thinking of this, Qin Congwen could still sit still, and hurriedly got up and rushed to the people outside: "Follow me to the third miss." ”
Qin Daixin changed her clothes and was listening to Lingzi report to her about her family. She had just taken two sips of tea, and before she could catch her breath, she heard someone report that the master was coming.
Qin Daixin didn't need to be surprised, she calmly got up and went to the door to pick up Qin Congwen.
Since Su's birth, the father and daughter met for the first time.
After the father and daughter sat down, a girl brought tea.
It was Chunli, the little girl was excited when she saw Qin Daixin, but because Qin Congwen was there, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous. After putting the tea away, he immediately left the house.
Qin Congwen was thick-skinned and didn't feel embarrassed at all, as soon as he opened his mouth, he said, "Ah Li." You've been here for the past few days, and you don't know what's going on in the house! ”
Qin Daixin waved her hand slightly, and Xue Qing and Lingzi, who were surrounding her, retreated in amusement.
Qin Congwen nodded with satisfaction, and he still had a little look.
Qin Dai snorted coldly in her heart, thinking that her father was really enough. Let's not talk about the Su family, just say that the two children haven't seen their father since they were born, he didn't first inquire whether the two children were healthy and well, but was anxious to tell himself about the affairs of the house, is there something wrong with this person's brain tissue structure?
"My daughter just came back and I don't know what's going on at home."
Qin Congwen took a sip of tea. Cai said: "Haven't you heard? The eldest princess died of illness. ”
"Oh!" Qin Daixin nodded, "The girls were still talking about this just now. I just listened to the rough idea. ”
"Wu'er, did you ever see a horse when you were in the capital?" Qin Congwen's eyes flashed with a calculating light, which made people look annoyed.
Qin Dai sneered in her heart, return my son, how could this father ever call himself so affectionately. As for the colt, the two of them have never seen each other. Is it okay that the pony's death has something to do with her?
"I've seen it a few times, but the horse is busy with official business, and the daughter doesn't live in the eldest princess's mansion, so the few times I met was a quick glance, but once the eldest princess set up a banquet, and that time I said a few words to the horse."
Qin Congwen nodded with satisfaction, his daughter was so blessed that she could be entertained by the eldest princess herself, which could be regarded as her creation.
"Ah Li, you have been with the eldest princess for a few days, have you heard anything unusual about the princess's mansion recently?" Qin Congwen coughed a little, avoiding Qin Daixin's inquiring gaze, his expression was unnatural, probably not used to being stared at by his daughter like this.
Qin Daixin hooked the corners of her mouth and asked sarcastically: "Father, is this asking me about the eldest princess's housework?" ”
Qin Congwen's face turned red, and then he said as if he had thought of something: "You don't care, just answer me." ”
Qin Dai thought for a moment before saying, "Father, my daughter can't do anything and can't help you." Qin Daixin knew what Qin Congwen's idea was, but he wanted to talk from his own mouth, which was a bit of a fool's dream!
"What are you talking about?" Qin Congwen was not happy.
What words, of course, are human words, but Qin Daixin will not say this to him.
"Father, it's not wrong that I was invited by the eldest princess, but I don't live in the princess's mansion, but in the house under the name of the concubine, and it's okay on weekdays, my daughter just stays in the mansion or is accompanied by someone to go to the street to see, how can I stare at the situation in the princess's mansion without blinking."
Qin Congwen looked at Qin Daixin with a pair of eyes with a fierce look, as if he was exploring how credible her words were.
Qin Dai pursed her lips and smiled, "What, my father suspects that I didn't tell the truth?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the already deadlocked father-daughter relationship instantly fell to the freezing point.
Qin Daixin never regarded Qin Congwen as her father, in her opinion, this selfish man was weak and incompetent, and he was not worthy of being a father at all.
Qin Congwen! He hated that his daughter repeatedly challenged his majesty, and even more hated the way she didn't take herself in her eyes, and the most hateful thing was that this girl actually quietly practiced martial arts, who gave her the courage.
The two look at each other with disgust, but they have to be linked by ridiculous blood ties.
Qin Congwen thought of Gao Liren's words, his mind relaxed, and he said, "You didn't stay in the countryside for a long time, why did you suddenly want to come back?" ”
Qin Daixin lowered her head, her thick eyelashes covered the love in her eyes, "There are already bugs in the countryside, it's quite annoying." ”
Qin Congwen only felt a burst of joy pouring out of his heart, and even his eyes couldn't help but be dyed with a layer of excitement, this girl has never suffered in food and clothing since she was a child, how can she be used to staying in the countryside, and just take advantage of her, and give her some benefits, maybe it will be done.
