Chapter 514: Famine

Qi Ning left the palace, but he was quite excited along the way, and Gu Qinghan's figure was always entangled in his mind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Speaking from his heart, Qi Ning didn't have much affection for the Jinyi Hou Mansion, and Qi Ning didn't even want to see the gloomy lady, but it was precisely because of Gu Qinghan's existence that Qi Ning really felt that the Jinyi Hou Mansion had a feeling of home.

Thinking that Gu Qinghan must have been looking forward to returning home as soon as possible these days, and when he arrived at the door of the Jinyi Waiting Mansion, Qi Ning even felt a little excited.

Qi Feng and the others returned to the mansion earlier, so the mansion already knew that Qi Ning was back in Beijing, and there were already people waiting in front of the door.

As soon as Qi Ning entered the mansion, he saw a beautiful figure coming over, with a graceful posture, it was Gu Qinghan.

Gu Qinghan is covered with a purple plum blossom cicada wing yarn that mops the floor, and inside is a rose bodice with thin cicada wings, a soft smoke skirt with emerald green flowers, a thin willow waist, a shoulder cut into a vertical bun with clouds, a graceful demeanor, a shallow smile on her beautiful face, no one has arrived, and the fragrance has arrived.

"Sanniang ......!" Qi Ning quickened his steps and said with a smile: "I went to the palace first to report to the emperor, and it will be difficult for you in the palace for a while." ”

Gu Qinghan smiled lightly: "I know, it's good that you come back safe and sound." Stepped forward, looked Qi Ning up and down, and said with a smile: "This trip out, people are a lot darker, this journey is hard, right?" ”

"It's nothing." Qi Ning smiled: "I just want to fly back with wings and see Sanniang earlier...... and people at home. ”

Gu Qinghan said: "I have already asked people to prepare food, you see that you are in the dust, hurry up and wash and change into clean clothes, we are waiting for you to eat." ”

"That'...... Do you want to see Mrs. Tai? ”

Gu Qinghan shook his head and said, "I have already reported to Mrs. Tai that Mrs. Tai is going to participate in Buddhist scriptures recently, so don't let people disturb her." ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that this old woman was really weird, if she was an ordinary old man, her grandson went out on business for the first time, and after she came back, she naturally wanted to see her for the first time, but this lady of the Jinyi Marquis Mansion was actually because she was visiting Buddhism, and she didn't see each other, so she looked extremely cold.

However, for Qi Ning, it is not a bad thing that Mrs. Tai is gone, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go wash first." So he went to his yard, walked a few steps, and looked back at Gu Qinghan, but saw Gu Qinghan bowing his head slightly, locking his eyebrows, as if he was full of worries, a little strange, Gu Qinghan saw Qi Ning looking back at himself, and barely squeezed out a smile.

Qi Ning immediately knew that Gu Qinghan had something hidden in his heart, and he was going to ask immediately, and he didn't want to be in a hurry, but at this time, he found that although Gu Qinghan was still mature and beautiful, his complexion was obviously much worse, and the whole person looked a little haggard, secretly wondering if it was because after he left Beijing, Gu Qinghan ran the Hou Mansion too hard?

When he returned to the courtyard, Gu Qinghan had already arranged for someone to prepare hot water, and along the way, he took a hot bath, felt comfortable, changed into soft casual clothes, and went straight to the elegant hall of the Hou Mansion, and saw Gu Qinghan personally arranging the meal, and walked behind Gu Qinghan lightly.

Gu Qinghan didn't seem to notice Qi Ning coming in at all, he was preoccupied, Qi Ning stood behind Gu Qinghan, looking at her back was full of grace, like a gourd-like back curved but not greasy, his heart fluttered, and he couldn't wait to hug this stunner from behind immediately, but he also knew in his heart that Gu Qinghan was not a master to be messed with, the first few times he wanted to kiss Fang Ze, but in the end it could only end in embarrassment, and the relationship between the two was also like separation, not as close as before, but there was always some embarrassment.

When he came back from Xichuan this time, Gu Qinghan's attitude eased slightly, but he couldn't make a repeat offense because of this, otherwise this beautiful young woman would really be annoyed, and it would be difficult to clean it up in the future, and the two sides would only be more embarrassed.

Qi Ning had to admit that Gu Qinghan was not only beautiful, shrewd and capable, but also one in a thousand, with a slender waist and plump and round buttocks, revealing the alluring charm of a mature and beautiful young woman.

Although Gu Qinghan put the vegetable bowl on the table from the tray, he seemed to be wandering in the world, his mind was not here, and accidentally a green onion finger actually touched the soup bowl, "ouch" screamed softly, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, Qi Ning saw this, and hurriedly said: "Sanniang, it's not hot, right?" When he stepped forward, he wanted to grab Gu Qinghan's hand and take a look, Gu Qinghan didn't wait for him to touch it, he immediately withdrew his hand, shook his head and said, "No..... It's okay.....! ”

These are all meals that have just come out, the soup bowl is hot, Gu Qinghan's fingers are delicate and fair, and when he was touched by this soup, he was already a little red, Qi Ning saw it clearly, and said, "It's all red, and he said it's okay." Turning around to leave, Gu Qinghan hurriedly shouted, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'll go to Miss Tang and get some medicine from her." Qi Ning said.

Gu Qinghan hurriedly said: "No, I'll go by myself." He grabbed Qi Ning and said, "You eat first, and I'll apply some medicine myself." ”

Qi Ning sighed and nodded, Gu Qinghan squeezed out a smile and walked out lightly, Qi Ning used to sit down at the table, he always felt that something was wrong with Gu Qinghan, and he couldn't eat for a while, so he went out and shouted: "Come on, where is Mr. Han?" Let him come over. ”

Han Shou of the Marquis of Jinyi Mansion trotted over and entered the house and said, "Master Hou, are you looking for an old slave?" ”

"Manager Han, come here and talk." Qi Ning beckoned, and waited for Han Shou to get closer before asking, "In the time that I have been away from Beijing, has something big happened in the house?" ”

Han Shou hurriedly said: "Master Hou, after you leave, the third lady will deal with the affairs of the Hou Mansion, and the old slave will assist by the side, everything is in order, there is no mistake, and nothing has happened." ”

"Did the third old lady come to the mansion to make trouble?" Qi Ning frowned and asked, "Or are his sons here to stir up trouble?" ”

Han Shou shook his head and said, "Master Hou, after you left, they didn't come either." He cautiously asked, "Why does Master Hou ask like this?" ”

"Where did Duan Canghai go, why didn't he see him?"

Han Shou said with a smile: "Master Hou forgot, before you left Beijing, you assigned them to train the Black Scale Battalion, Duan Canghai and Zhao Wuxian have been staying at the other end of the barracks for a while, Duan Canghai came back twice in the middle, and the third lady asked them not to remember the mansion, just train the soldiers hard." ”

Qi Ning thought that he was really confused, and almost forgot about such a big thing, and frowned: "I saw that the third lady was full of worries, and I thought that something was going on in the house, since there was nothing to do, it would naturally be better." ”

Han Shou hesitated, and then stopped.

Seeing this, Qi Ning knew that something was wrong, and said in a deep voice: "What happened, let's talk about it quickly." ”

Han Shou lowered his voice and said: "Master Hou, the third lady is only afraid that she is worried about her uncle, nothing happened to the Hou Mansion, but ..... But something big happened to my uncle. ”

"Uncle? Gu article? Qi Ning was stunned, "What's going on on his side?" ”

"It's like..... It seems to be because of a painting. Han Shou seemed to be afraid of being heard, so he leaned next to Qi Ning and whispered: "Uncle accepted a painting, but ...... It seems that something is wrong, my uncle came to the house two days ago, and was scolded by the third lady, let's ...... We didn't dare to get closer, the old slave was outside, as if he heard that was going on, but ..... But what exactly is going on, the old slave is not very clear. ”

Qi Ningqi said: "A painting? Which one is this singing? ”

Before Han Shou could speak, he heard Gu Qinghan's voice sound from behind: "Manager Han, Master Hou is eating, you go out first." In the middle of the voice, Gu Qinghan had already walked over and sat down opposite Qi Ning, Han Shou hurriedly lowered his head and hurriedly retreated.

"Still not moving your chopsticks?" Gu Qinghan saw that the food on the table was still there, frowned and said, "Use the meal well, don't worry about those useless things, and let people clean up after eating." ”

Qi Ning smiled, picked up the chopsticks, glanced at Gu Qinghan, hesitated, and said, "Sanniang, that painting...... What the hell is going on? ”

"What's going on?" Gu Qinghan said angrily: "It has nothing to do with you, you don't have to ask, whoever created the sins, let him pay for them himself, so as not to tire others." Speaking of this, the circles under his eyes were still a little red, as if he didn't want to be seen by Qi Ning, so he turned his face away.

Seeing Gu Qinghan like this, Qi Ning knew that the matter must be not small, put down his chopsticks, and said softly: "If something happens to my uncle, we can't just watch it, and if we can help, we naturally have to help." Sanniang, what happened, you tell me and see if I can come up with a way. ”

"There's nothing to do." Gu Qinghan said: "If you really help, go and talk to the Kyoto Prefecture, so that they can put that useless thing in it earlier and stay in prison for the rest of their lives." Speaking of this, he was angry, turned around, turned his back to Qi Ning, took a champa and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"How did it get involved with Kyoto Prefecture?" Qi Ningqi said: "Where is my uncle now?" He got up, walked to Gu Qinghan's side, and said softly: "Sanniang, don't be sad, just tell me something, I can always come up with a way, you can easily hurt your body like this." ”

Gu Qinghan glanced up at Qi Ning, the tears in his eyes were not gone, the watery Chu Chu was moving, he bit his red lips and hesitated for a moment before he said: "He owes sixty thousand taels of silver for famine, and in two days, if the silver cannot be repaid, he will be sued to Kyoto Mansion, and then he can only be arrested and put in prison." ”

"Sixty thousand taels of silver?" Qi Ning was stunned, "Uncle owes 60,000 taels of silver?" This...... What's going on here? ”

He knows a lot about the Gu family, the Gu family and the Qi family, back then, were both prominent families in Jiangling, and they had great influence in the local area, the Gu family had a lot of paved real estate in Jingzhou, and the financial resources were abundant.

Gu Wenwen came to the capital with his family, and even bought a few stores in the capital to do business, which is not something that ordinary rich families can do, Qi Ning really can't figure out how this old man can owe 60,000 taels of silver for famine.
