The early morning autumn sun shines on Lin'an City, if you look down at this city from above, you will find that Lin'an City has become a colorful world at this moment, and the magnificence of the scenery is amazing. Everyone knows that spring and summer in Lin'an City are a world full of flowers, and it is natural to think that it is her most beautiful moment, but in fact, Lin'an City in autumn is actually more magnificent.

The green trees in the city began to turn yellow and red, and the water of West Lake became deeper and deeper like black jade. Wansong Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, Jade Emperor Mountain, Baobao Mountain and so on, these surrounding mountains around Lin'an become colorful because of the arrival of autumn. That's not the color of the flower, that's the color of the leaves. Red, yellow, blue, green, purple, black and white, the clouds are steaming, brilliant and solemn.

The front of Wanchun Garden is deserted, because this is not the time for Wanchun Garden to welcome guests, and in the afternoon, Wanchun Garden will be full of customers. At this moment, the women and guests in the building who had been partying all night were still asleep, so the gate of Wanchun Garden was not opened, only a small door was opened.

A luxury carriage of the golden silk ferry slowly drove and stopped at the gate of Wanchun Garden, a person jumped out of the carriage, came to the door and said something to the janitor of Wanchun Garden, the janitor of Wanchun Garden nodded and went in to report, and soon after, Shen Ling'er, a long-legged and double-married maidservant, accompanied Qin Xiqing, who was wearing a purple and red dress, walked out.

"Hello Miss Qin, I am Qin Fu, the steward of the Qin Mansion, who was ordered by my Young Master Sun to come to pick up Miss Qin into the mansion and sing for the birthday of the ancestor of the Qin Mansion." The man standing next to the carriage bowed down and introduced himself with a smile.

"It turned out to be Steward Qin, and he was polite." Qin Xiqing nodded and saluted.

Qin Fu smiled: "Then, Miss Qin, please get in the car and go." I drove for the girl in person. ”

Qin Xiqing hesitated for a moment and glanced at Ling'er beside her. Shen Ling'er stepped forward and opened the car door to check, and there was an empty carriage inside, so she said, "Girl, get in the car." ”

Qin Xiqing slowly boarded the car, and Shen Ling'er also got into the car. That Qin Fu laughed beside him, stretched out his hand to close the car door, and jumped into the wheel. With a shake of the reins and a swing of the long whip, the carriage started slowly, and soon sped up and trotted south, along the Middle River Imperial Road.

Behind, a black carriage burst out of the alley, turned onto the avenue, and galloped away with the luxurious carriage ahead.

The sixth day of September is actually not a special day. But because it is the birthday of Qin Hui's wife Wang, this day has become a day that many officials in the court and China keep in mind. These people may not even be able to remember the birthdays of their own parents, wives and children, but Wang's birthdays are remembered clearly. The reason is of course very simple, I don't remember the birthdays of my parents, wife and children, and it's a big deal to be complained about. But if you don't remember the birthday of the prime minister's wife, you will lose the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune, and you may lose your official position and lose your head. Moreover, Qin Xiangye attaches great importance to his wife's birthday, and he does it every year, and it is grand every year, so he must not let Qin Xiangye think that he does not pay attention to his wife's birthday.

Therefore, from early in the morning, the Prime Minister's Mansion near Wangxian Bridge has been lively and joyful. There are red silk flowers hanging on the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and more than a dozen huge longevity palace lamps are hung at the door, which is full of pomp. At the door, there was an endless stream of guests who came to pay their respects, Qin Hui's adopted son Qin Xi took his sons Qin Xun Qin Tan and others in front of the door to greet the guests who came to celebrate the birthday with a smile, and the father and son were very busy. Qin Xi and his sons are perfect for welcoming guests today, Qin Xi is Qin Hui's stepson, and at the same time, he is the mother brother of Wang, the protagonist of today's birthday, Wang is actually Qin Xi's aunt, this blood relationship is even closer than Qin Hui, let him come to Zhang Luo's birthday for his mother or aunt, naturally it is particularly attentive.

Groups of officials came and offered congratulatory gifts while shouting congratulations. Several stewards in the door are like flying with a pen, registering the list of guests who have come to congratulate, and registering them in several grades according to the size of their official positions and the number of congratulatory gifts. The number of congratulatory gifts and the size of the official position should naturally be separated, because the seats arranged for the birthday banquet should be arranged according to these two things. The Qin family is so naked, frank, simple and rude. At such times, the way in which the disciples and grandchildren of the Qin Party showed their loyalty was reflected through the amount of gift money.

Qin Tan stood on the steps of the door wearing a brocade robe, and compared to his brothers, he stood out from the crowd. It's a bit funny to say, Qin Tan was not born to Qin Xi, and he is also Qin Xi's adopted son. This matter is a little puzzling, obviously Qin Xi gave birth to several sons, and there is no need to adopt an adopted son by his side. But his adoptive father Qin Hui insisted on bringing him an eight- or nine-year-old child ten years ago, and asked Qin Xi to take him as an adopted son and treat him well. Of course, Qin Xi was very puzzled, but it was Qin Hui's order, and he didn't dare to disobey it. In the final analysis, he is just Qin Hui's step-son, everything he has is given by Qin Hui, so naturally he can't disobey his adoptive father's order. annoyed Qin Hui, even his aunt Wang, who was extremely strong at home, might not be able to keep him. So Qin Xi could only accept this child as his stepson. Qin Tan's age was one year older than Qin Xi's biological eldest son, Qin Wei, and he actually became Qin Xi's adopted son. The reason why Qin Tan is called the fifth son is that he is the fifth among the grandchildren of the entire Qin family's uncles.

Of course, paper can't hold the fire, and Qin Xi soon secretly found out Qin Tan's original identity, he was the son of an official named Lin Yifei. And this Lin Yifei's real identity is actually the son of Qin Hui and the maidservant girl in the family who fornicated back then. When Qin Hui and the Wang family got married, it was Gao Pan, and the Wang family was the daughter of the prime minister Wang Qi at that time, and Qin Hui relied on the background of the Wang family to have the opportunity to rise to the top. When the Jin people had not yet gone south, Qin Hui had actually achieved the high position of the middle of the imperial history, which was not unrelated to the deep background of his wife Wang's family.

After Qin Hui married the Wang family, he was very afraid of guilt and did not dare to make a mistake. Although the Wang family was infertile, Qin Hui did not dare to marry a concubine in the side room. But after all, the merry heart can't be controlled, he secretly has a hot fight with a servant girl in the family, and has an affair with one of the servants. Qin Hui knew that Wang's personality was ruthless and his methods were vicious, and he was afraid that she would make trouble that would be unfavorable to himself and the child, so he gave the child to a family surnamed Lin for adoption, so as to avoid the unrest of the house. When the Jin army went south, Qin Hui was captured by the Jin army, and he returned to the Great Song Dynasty for many years in the Jin Kingdom, and the first thing Qin Hui did after returning was to find his biological son Lin Yifei. Although he didn't recognize each other, Qin Hui naturally refused to give up his own and took Lin Yifei's son, who was his own grandson, into the mansion. In order to hide people's eyes, he became Qin Xi's adopted son and named him Qin Tan.

To the Wang family, Qin Hui said that this was the heir of the deceased who was kind to him back then, so he just wanted to repay his kindness. In fact, Qin Hui used this method to return his bloodline to the Qin family and play a curve return.

After Qin Xi found out about this, he was both annoyed and a little grateful at the same time. With the status and power of his adoptive father Qin Hui at this time, he no longer had to worry about the support of the Wang family back then, he could have directly announced the truth and let Lin Yifei return to the Qin family to become the real successor of the Qin family, but Qin Hui did not do this. That shows that the adoptive father still takes good care of and loves him. Over the years, he has treated himself as his own son, and he has not alienated himself because he is an adopted son, and he should be content. Qin Tan's identity also returned as his adopted son, although he will inherit the Qin family's property in the future, but at least his adoptive father has also given himself enough face to not put himself and his sons in an awkward position, which is actually very good.

Qin Xi did not inform the Wang family about this, he knew that telling the Wang family would not solve the problem, but would lead to a situation that was unfavorable to him. What he has to do is to pretend that he doesn't know anything, and then treat Qin Tan as his own and love him even more. That's what a really smart person does. And the adoptive father will naturally be better to himself because of this, which is the most correct way to deal with this matter.

Qin Tan greeted the guests with a smile on his face and his father and brothers, saluting and saying some polite words, but his eyes kept looking in the direction of the corner gate outside the mansion. Qin Xiqing will come today, and his opportunity to think about it has come, so he is naturally extremely concerned about this matter.

Finally, a servant of the Qin family came to Qin Tan's side and whispered next to his ear: "Fifth son, Qin Xiqing of Wanchun Garden has arrived. Just outside the corner gate. ”

Qin Tan was overjoyed, hurriedly said goodbye to Qin Xi, turned around and walked quickly towards the corner gate. The two corner gates of the Qin Mansion are for some idle people to enter and exit, even if Qin Xiqing is a famous person, but today her identity is just a courtesan who invited her birthday congratulations. Like some juggling, fire-breathing, singing and birthday greetings, you have to enter the house through the corner gate. The main entrance is not for these people.

"Miss Qin, Qin Tan is polite. Sure enough, I came as promised, and I was very happy. I'm also worried that if Miss Qin doesn't come, I won't be able to explain it in front of my grandmother for a while. Because I have already told her old man, I invited Miss Qin from Wanchun Garden to sing the song, and she is also looking forward to it. Qin Tan strode close to the cart and said with a smile while saluting.

Qin Xiqing slowly got out of the car, and returned the salute with an expressionless face: "Since it's an agreement, why don't I come?" Qin Gongzi was too worried. ”

Qin Tan looked at Qin Xiqing directly, today Qin Xiqing was wearing a purple and red dress and a dark shawl, and the whole person was more graceful and gorgeous, full of mystery. Qin Tan swallowed and foamed, and his heart was itchy like a cat scratch. When I thought that this stunner was going to become my own forbidden body today, I couldn't tell the excitement in my heart.

"Yes, yes, Miss Qin is not the kind of person who misses the appointment. Then please come in and rest. The birthday greetings begin at the end of the day, and there is still some time. Miss Qin can rest first, drink tea, and nourish her spirits. Qin Tan said with a smile.

Qin Xiqing frowned and looked at the road on the east side of the alley, as if she was a little restless. Qin Tan said: "What? Is Miss Qin waiting for someone? ”

Qin Xiqing said: "My attendant didn't come, I have to wait for her to come." ”

Qin Tan looked at Shen Ling'er and said, "Isn't this girl your attendant?" How many more attendants do you have to bring in? ”

Before Qin Xiqing could answer, a tall red bloated figure at the corner of the alley was running quickly with a large package, shouting as she ran: "Girl, wait for me, I almost got lost." Oops, the alleys here are all exactly the same, I searched for a long time. It's been found. ”

The person quickly came to the front, and everyone saw her appearance and outfit clearly, Qin Tan and the others were nothing, but Qin Xiqing almost laughed. She hurriedly bit her lower lip and forced her smile back.
