Qian Jin walked unhurriedly on the road alone, and he didn't go far when a carriage came on the opposite side, and it was Lao Cao who drove the car.

"Woo ......," Lao Cao parked the carriage on the side of the road. The curtains on the windows were lifted, revealing Bao'er's beautiful but still somewhat immature face.

"Brother, get in the car." Bao'er winked at her brother and shouted.

Qian Jin looked at his sister and hesitated for a moment before boarding the carriage with a straight face.

"The ...... of the big night You dare to run out of a girl's house? "After getting into the carriage, Qian Jin's first sentence was not good.

Bao'er stuck out her tongue, quickly took out a Miao knife from the side of the carriage, and then took out a short musket from her back, the meaning could not be clearer: if there was a thief, she would click him with a knife, or she would shoot Lengzi for him.

Qian Jin didn't eat her set, so he grabbed her ears when he found a gap, and with a slight force in his hand, Bao'er bared her teeth and shouted: "Brother, I'm so old, you still twist my ears." ”

"Brother is to let you have a longer memory, don't mess with my weapons in the future, haven't you heard of swords without eyes?" Qian Jin let go of his hand and asked, "Have both father and mother slept?" ”

"I'm still at home waiting for you to come back." Boa replied.

Qian Jin couldn't help sighing: "I don't know what my father and mother think, and I dare to let you run out of the wild at night." ”

Bao'er laughed a few times and said, "Where can I let the two of them know that I ran away secretly." ”

"......" Qian Jin pointed weakly with his finger, but found that he really had nothing to do with this baby sister, anyway, it hurt in his heart when he was beaten and scolded. He pursed his lips and said, "You don't look at how old Lao Cao Tou is, and you still call him out to catch the car so late." ”

"Sir, it's out of the way. The old man sleeps a lot during the day, which will be just the right time to be refreshed. Lao Cao replied outside the carriage, and at the same time, the horsewhip in his hand danced loudly, and the carriage slowly drove towards the courtyard.

Seeing this, Qian Jin stopped scolding Bao'er. Actually, he wasn't really angry with Bao'er, he was just worried that it would be unsafe for her to come out at night. Now Bao'er is slim, and she is no longer the snot that she used to tell fairy stories to herself. As an elder brother, he will inevitably worry that Bao'er will be bullied by the prodigal son.

Time flies. In a blink of an eye, it has been almost seventeen years since he came to this world, and even his sister is already in the prime of her life.

The carriage was swaying on the bluestone road of the capital, and Qian Jin had drunk a lot tonight, so he was a little tired after a while. Seeing this, Bao'er said, "Brother, you will squint first, and I will call you when I get home." ”

Qian Jin nodded, casually resting his head on his sister's lap and reclining, but it was still comfortable. Bo'er's pair of soft tuds rested on his temples and rubbed them gently. After a while, Qian Jin felt that his eyelids were fighting, and he fell into a deep sleep.

After about two quarters of an hour, the old chief Cao "shouted" and parked the carriage at the gate of the courtyard. Qian Jin woke up from his sleep in a daze, and looked left and right: "It's here so soon." ”

Bao'er covered her mouth with one hand, pointed to Qian Jin's mouth with the other and smiled: "Brother is still drooling when he is so old...... Hahaha. ”

Qian Jin was about to wipe the corners of his mouth with the sleeve of his official robe, when a snow-white silk handkerchief had already been handed over, so he took the silk handkerchief with one hand and quipped: "Yo he...... Bao'er has grown up, and she knows that she is distressed, and it seems that she has to find a mother-in-law for you. ”

"Brother...... Bao'er is no longer married, and my brother told his mother when he was a child that he would support me for a lifetime, but now he has forgotten all about it. ”

"Get out of the car, old Cao Tou can't wait to find his hot bed." Qian Jin hurriedly changed the topic. He said this correctly, but it was to dispel the idea of his mother binding Bao'er's feet.

The two jumped lightly from the carriage, for fear of disturbing the people in the courtyard. However, Ding Wei still heard the movement at the door in the gatehouse, and had already brought the lamp to the door to greet him.

"Has the Kim guard arrived home?" Qian Jin asked.

"Jin Ye has already arrived home, and Hong Qianhu has also arranged for proper people to send it back, and the wine has been delivered to each master."

"Well, well done", Qian Jin nodded in praise, "Go and help Lao Cao Tou unload the carriage."

Ding Wei agreed, and then set up the carriage with Lao Cao and went to the stables in the backyard. He is a meticulous person, and he does everything he does perfectly. Since he came to the courtyard, he seems to have become the first major help of Qian Jin's subordinates, not only taking care of the affairs of the wine shop in an orderly manner, but also worrying about the affairs of the courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, Qian Jin first went to the master bedroom to say hello to Lao Qian and Wen, and said a few words before coming out. Then, he went to the wing room to see the Li Liang brothers and sisters. In the past few days, he has gone out early and returned late, and he has not spoken much to the two brothers and sisters.

Li Xiang is okay, she sleeps more honestly. When Li Liang was growing, a quilt was kicked aside by him indiscriminately. It's no wonder that Jin Taiming is reluctant to sleep with him, it's no wonder that he kicked down this night and didn't have bruises on his body. Thinking of this, Qian Jin shook his head and helped him cover the quilt gently.

Out of the wing room, Qian Jin returned to the house where the silkworm mother lived. He had been sleeping in this room all this time, but the miracle he had hoped for had never appeared. He also searched around, but with a population of six or seven hundred thousand in the capital, who would pay attention to a weak woman who had made up her mind to escape.

"Sister Hua, where did you go?" Qian Jin muttered to himself.

At this time, the door creaked open, and Qian Jin looked towards the door with joy, only to see Bao'er coming in with a pot of tea.

"Brother, do you miss your sister-in-law again?" Boa sensed the look of disappointment in her brother's eyes. These days, she has heard a lot of things about the silkworm girl from the people in the courtyard, and the more she learns, the more curious she becomes, so much so that she wants to see with her own eyes what this sister-in-law who has never met is like.

Qian Jin didn't answer, but asked, "Why don't you sleep yet?" It's not too early. ”

"My brother drank a lot of wine today, and I boiled a pot of tea to relieve your hangover." While speaking, Bao'er had already picked up a large bowl and poured tea full of hot and cold: "You taste it, add honey." ”

"Put it there first."

"Then you have to remember to drink it."

"Got it......"

Bao'er saw that her brother was in a bad mood, so she didn't stay in the room longer.

After Bao'er went out, Qian Jin gently opened the small drawer under the dressing table and took out a sachet from it, which contained the green silk of him and the silkworm girl. Since the silkworm girl left, he can only hold this sachet every day to express his lovesickness. Smelling the faint fragrance, Qian Jin seemed to see the shy face again.

At this moment, the door creaked open again, and Bao'er came in with a basin of water. Qian Jin's thoughts were interrupted, and there was already some displeasure in his words. Bao'er didn't care so much, walked straight to Qian Jin with a wooden basin, and didn't care whether he wanted to or not, he took off his shoes directly: "Wash your face first, then soak your feet, and then sleep soundly at night." ”

Qian Jin couldn't bear to live up to his sister's kindness, so he had to do it. When he put his feet in the hot water, Bao'er moved a stool and sat down opposite, holding her cheeks alone in a daze. After a long time, Bao'er spoke: "Brother, in fact, you don't have to worry too much about Sister Hua. ”

"She's a weak woman going out, how can I rest assured?"

Bao'er blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Brother, don't blame me for saying that you are stupid. You've always looked down on my sister-in-law, who hasn't passed through the door. ”

"Why is that?" Qian Jinqi said.

Bao'er picked up the teapot and poured a bowl of tea for Qian Jin, watched him drink it before saying: "I have also heard a lot of things about Sister Hua from the people in the yard these days, in my opinion, Sister Hua is actually a smart person, and she will never let you find it easily." In addition, my brother doesn't have to worry too much, since she has taken the silver with her, she must have already thought of a way out. ”

"Tell me more about it." Qian Jin heard Debao'er say this, and waited for her next step.

Bao'er glanced at Qian Jin with disdain, and continued: "Our sister-in-law, although she is more reserved, is a first-class smart person. You see, Sister Hua couldn't ride a horse at first, but in order to move the rescuers, she could run to Zhenjiangwei on horseback alone; Originally, she couldn't write, but when Mr. Jin taught Li Liang's brothers and sisters, she learned it by watching from the side; Brother, the pattern of the clothes you drawn, to be honest, even I find it difficult to understand, but Sister Hua was stunned that it didn't take long to learn. ”

"Don't say it's useless. Tell me where Sister Hua is most likely to go? Qian in and out of the words interrupted.

Bao'er sighed and said, "This should be asked to you, I'm not an immortal." And as I just said, Sister Hua is a smart person, and she loves you so much. Haven't you heard that people who love each other can't help but imitate each other? ”

Listening to Debao'er's reminder, Qian Jin thought for a moment and figured it out.

is the so-called fan of the authorities, he is anxious about the safety of the silkworm girl, but he does not put himself in Sister Hua's shoes to think about the problem. Sister Hua is a woman, and she definitely doesn't dare to go far alone. A few months ago, I went to the dart bureau and asked Mr. Yun to escort Lao Qian and them to Beijing, Sister Hua did the same, and most of them would ask someone to escort them, and she still had silver in her hand.

At present, there is only one well-known dart game in the capital, Hongyuan Dart Bureau, and Yun Sanniang has also met with Sister Hua. If it's good, Sister Hua must have been to Hongyuan Dart Bureau. Besides, before Jin Taiming left Beijing, he said that Yun Sanniang has not returned yet, and Sister Hua probably invited Yun Sanniang, and it is more convenient for the two women to go on the road.

Thinking of this, Qian Jin scolded hatefully: "Yun Sanniang, Yun Sanniang, I just refused to marry, and you actually kidnapped my wife." ”

"Who is Yun Sanniang? Brother, how many good friends do you still have in the capital, can you explain it clearly at one time? Bao'er said helplessly.

"Except for Sister Hua, the others are really gone." Qian Jin excused himself.
