Volume II: Chapter 148: Chinese New Year's Eve
After the winter solstice, Qin Xun was announced that he was about to send an envoy to Kaifeng, although there was no way to celebrate the New Year with his family, but of course Qin Zaizhi understood the glory and benefits that his envoy was about to bring, so he naturally not only did not complain at all, but was very grateful for the opportunity Yan Chi gave him.
His reputation stinks a little.
Of course, he did not do many good things worthy of praise and admiration from the world, he completely relied on his eight-sided exquisite life in order to win some good popularity, such as Xu Qian, although he knew that he was not a righteous gentleman, but he was forced to be helpless, otherwise just relying on his old wife and aunt, Xu Qian would definitely refuse to establish diplomatic relations with him.
But it is impossible for Qin Xun to let everyone in the world understand that he is forced to be helpless, because everyone in the world understands that the reputation of the official family has to be finished.
And this time he sent an envoy to Kaifeng, as long as he could persuade the Liao prince to warn the remnants of Yan Zhao in time to beware of natural disasters and save these remnants from the disaster, although he was not the first meritorious, he could also make a big light, so that those who scolded him for treason and glory were silenced - because surrendering to the Liao lord is not beneficial to the monarchy, if it weren't for the Liao prince's appreciation for him, how could he persuade the Liao prince to save these thousands of lives?
However, because the envoy is imminent, Qin Zaizhi needs to deal with the shark beads immediately.
Although Shark Zhu is the bandit of the Ghost Fan Building, but because Kaifeng City has fallen, the old household registration has been destroyed, these bandits have obtained a new household registration after fleeing to Lin'an, and no one will pursue their old identities anymore, and the attempted murder of Shark Zhu can not be made public, and it is certainly not advisable to send the official to justice.
Qin Xun informed the prince, and the prince acquiesced to Qin Xun's lynching.
On this day, Qin Xun asked Qin to go to Zhang's house and informed the Zhang family and his wife that their daughter Zhang Yingge had died of a violent illness.
Qin Zhen's face did not change, until the Zhang family and his wife tearfully expressed their gratitude, which was the end of admitting that his daughter was violently ill.
Of course, Qin Xun will not leave Zhang Yingge alive, the person is really dead, killed with a cane, a body of injuries, the body is not left to the Zhang family and his wife, and the fire is burned to ashes.
The Zhang family and his wife did not dare to sue the official, and even the Tu family could only swallow their anger.
She thought that Zhang Yingge did not confess to her, so she was quietly executed by Qin Xun and threatened the Zhang family and his wife to admit that Yingge was violently ill.
Although Tu's said that in front of Huang's family, Zhang Yingge was a niece, but the two had no blood relationship at all, Zhang's father, the "elder brother", was actually just Tu's brother-in-law, even Tu's father, the little leader of the Guifanlou Beggars Society, was actually not Tu's father, and the father-son relationship of Ghost Fanlou was actually "adopted", Tu's was his father's "daughter" who didn't know which family he kidnapped from when he was a child, and after raising him, he was forced to make money as a private prostitute.
But Zhang Yingge was not born in Guifan Tower, she is the biological daughter of the Zhang family couple.
The Zhang family and his wife are still abducting and deceiving for a living, they don't have a ghost Fan Lou to live in, but they still can't see the light, they don't dare to argue with such a high-ranking official and important minister as the ruler of a country, they believe that if it weren't for Tu's inducement, their daughter would not have died.
It is not possible to turn the other cheek, but it is justified to extort money.
Tu's New Year is having a very difficult time, because although Huang Qiongmei has been advised by her sister not to blame her for rashly contacting her "family", she must blame this "relative" for daring to blackmail the court officials, so she blames Tu for a lot.
So much so that on the day of the New Year, when Yan Chi saw Tu at home, he could still see the slap prints on her face.
He was in a very happy mood: "Yo, what's wrong with Tu Niangzi's face?" This was beaten by Huang Shaoqing, right? Huang Shaoqing, treating his wife harshly is also considered a bad character, and he has to be impeached carefully. ”
openly threatened Huang Qiongmei.
Huang Qiongmei also had to accompany the smiling face: "San Lang raised his noble hand, I was drunk, and the lady was accidentally injured by me when he stopped it, it was definitely not intentional, San Lang don't tell the official family such a shameful thing." ”
"Please?" Yan Chi glanced at the Huang family, who seemed to have heard nothing, and smiled slightly: "You have to kneel and beg." ”
Huang's wrist shook.
"San Lang ......" Yan Yong's face sank.
"I know, I'm talking about playing, don't take it seriously, don't take Huang Shaoqing seriously, the man has gold under his knees, and now the only person who should bow down to Huang Shaoqing is the official family, I still have self-knowledge." The happiness in Yan Chi's heart did not diminish because he did not bow down to Huang Qiongmei.
"San Lang, a few children are going to go to the night market for a while, why don't you lead them with San Lang this year?" Huang tried to ask.
The Yan and Huang families usually celebrate the New Year together, even when Mrs. Mei was still alive, they never objected to entertaining Huang Qiongmei's family.
Therefore, today Huang Xianzhi is also having Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at his uncle's house.
Of course, the "children" who want to go to the night market include her.
"I made an appointment for a while, Huang Wuniang should mind." Yan Chi took a sip of wine with a cup, and was not dissatisfied, because today's wine was brought by him, and he was used to drinking, so he smiled at Huang again: "The person I made an appointment with is Qin Sanniang, her mouth is harmful, if Huang Wuniang confronts her, I'm afraid I will have to suffer again." ”
Wong: ......
Yan Weifang said: "Qin Sanniang dared to embarrass me in public at the winter solstice banquet in the eldest princess's mansion, since the third brother has already recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, he should not help outsiders bully me and my cousin." ”
"Young lady, it was clear that you provoked Qin Sanniang first that day, could it be that Qin Sanniang couldn't talk back after being ridiculed by you? I taught you that day and that you should remember etiquette in the future, and it seems that although you say that you know your mistakes, you are still not convinced in your heart. Yan Hong stared at his sister very seriously.
Yan Chi was interested: "Qin Sanniang embarrassed you?" What did she say that embarrassed you? ”
Yan Weifang was a little afraid to say it, she was still a little worried about her fourth brother.
"You don't have to be afraid, if you tell the truth, I may be angry for you." Yan Chi is good at it.
Huang Xianzhi rushed to file a complaint, but because of the presence of a witness like her fourth cousin, she didn't dare to add fuel and vinegar.
"Well, you should really feel embarrassed when she says this, and when I see Qin Sanniang for a while, I will say a few words to her."
Yan Yong frowned: "You don't have to worry about a few words, San Lang, it's not appropriate for you to have a night meeting with Qin Sanniang, right?" ”
"My master wants to see her, and I will accompany my master to go with me, what's wrong?" Yan Chi glanced at Huang Xianzhi, who was both surprised and disappointed, and actually felt that the chef's skills in the Yiguo Mansion today were not bad, at least not like the last time, which made him difficult to swallow: "The third granddaughter of Qin Xianggong has almost ruined her reputation, and the virtuous and gentle archway can no longer stand, and the number of times I meet her is not once or twice, and the gossip has not long been flying all over the sky, Qin Xianggong doesn't think it's inappropriate, and my father is no longer worried about other women." ”
Huang was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that Yan Chi personally said Qin Sanniang's reputation was ruined, that is, he had no intention of marrying such a wife, it was nothing more than that, seeing that Qin Sanniang was still a little beautiful, he was just teasing and teasing.
Unbeknownst to her, Fang Qi immediately received a prompt of "Ding Dong" in her mind.
Xiangdi's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tonight, without Qin Xun, the head of the family, Mrs. Wang can temporarily "recover", so this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has been under the gaze of Mrs. Wang, every mention of the chopsticks is like a thousand pressure, fortunately, Qin Ze has taken the medicine prescribed by Zhong Ligong that day, the poison of arsenic/frost is pulled clean, not to mention, the body is indeed not affected by the poison, quickly recovered, but this year did not miss the New Year's dinner, under the reassuring gaze of the eldest brother from time to time, Fangji's appetite was not corrupted.
But he refused to say more.
I have a free joke: What, send me a New Year's gift online?
System: No, no, dear, it's Yan Lang who sent you a New Year's gift, and it's inexplicable that you haven't met him yet, and the main quest suddenly rose by 20 points.
Fang Qi almost didn't choke on a piece of stewed elbow: there is such a good thing?
A hint from Ding Jiushan and a meal of spicy hot pot didn't get half a drop of progress!!
So when Fang arrived at the place of rendezvous, the Peony Building on Gulou Street, he couldn't help but ask a rather bold question: "Yan Langjun ...... earlier." Didn't you think about me for a moment? ”
Yan Chi glanced at Zhong Liji, who was almost choking on the tea and coughing, and didn't feel so angry in his heart: "Qin Sanniang, make your question clearer." ”
"I suddenly felt that Yan Langjun, you have added a little bit of affection to me."
Yan Chi also admitted: "For a while, I did have a good impression of you. ”
"Is it because I finally got an inquiry?"
"The list is what you should have given me, and I just found out about Ding Jiushan, which is worthy of my favor?"
"So...... It shouldn't be because of the spicy hot pot, right? ”
"You promised to cook food for me, I promised to slightly extend the time for you to hand over the list, if you don't know how to cook food, how can I promise to reconcile with you temporarily, you can cook food to be qualified to bargain with me, why should I have a good impression of you because of this?"
"So, why did Yan Langjun have a crush on me?"
This girl's curiosity is really strong.
But today Yan Chi is in a good mood, and he can be satisfied.
"Because you let Tu Shi be slapped by Huang Qiongmei, you are so angry that Yan Weifang will feel embarrassed by such a stupid person, you have a good poisonous tongue and fangs, I appreciate you very much." Yan Chi actually smiled at Fang Qi.
Fang Qi was stunned, Yan Chi actually gave her a smile that was not a sneer!!
Yan Chi tapped the table a few times with his fingertips: "Just now I promised Yan Weifang that I would say a few words to you when I saw you, listen well, I want to say to you...... You scolded her very well, very accurately and in place, the next time you see her, you will continue to scold, don't be merciful. ”
"I'm afraid that Little Lady Yan won't give me another chance." Fang Qi felt sorry for herself, if she could scold Yan Weifang a few more times, would the progress bar be able to fill up slowly, and complete the main quest so easily and smoothly, so that she could earn a principal and have a way to get rich!
She remembered the reason for meeting Yan Chi today: "Does Yan Lang know that Tu is a female bandit from the Ghost Fan Building?" ”
Yan Chi didn't squeak.
Fang Qi understood that this was a response to "Can Ben Langjun not know", and said: "Weng Weng said that after this paragraph, he has a trick...... It's not a clever plan except for Tu's, but according to the rules, the prophet will Yan Langjun. ”
"Qin Xianggong let it go, I don't care if the Tu family is cleaned up by me." Yan Chi is really in a good mood today, and he doesn't hide the fact that sooner or later he will clean up Tu's thoughts.
Fang Qi has already silently burned paper for Tu's in his heart: At the same time, I offended my family Weng Weng and Yan Chi, Huang Tu's you are very unlucky, but I will not sympathize with you, those who can't live for their own sins should die blindly.
"Weng Weng can go to Kaifeng again this time, and he also told him to thank Yan Langjun."
"You don't have to thank me for this." Yan Chi raised his eyebrows and pointed at Zhong Liji: "You should thank him." ”
Fang Qi didn't know why, but he was very obedient and really wanted to salute Zhong Liji to thank him, Zhong Liji hurriedly waved his hand: "Listen to Yan boy's nonsense, I didn't recommend Minister Qin Xiang Liao, but I can let Yan boy accompany the little lady to the night market tonight, as long as the little lady agrees......"
"Zhong Ligong can eat food whenever he wants, I can cook it at any time." Fang Qi originally wanted to express his gratitude to Zhong Ligong for saving his eldest brother with such sincerity, but when he said it, he realized how much he seemed to look forward to going to the night market with Yan Bingdao, but if he wanted to explain, wouldn't it seem that he didn't care about this "welfare" at all, and the progress bar that had just made progress had to fall.
Fang Qi embarrassed himself like this.
