Su Qin followed Wei Wei to his mansion in the south of Xianyang City, where he lived for more than half a year, and he never had the opportunity to see Qin Jun Yingsi again. He is also happy to be idle, practicing martial arts every day, teaching boys and girls in music and dance classes to read and write, and by the way, he asks Meng Ting and Wei Jia and others for dance skills, and lives freely.

Wei Wei wanted to take the initiative to recommend Su Qin to Qin Jun again, but Su Qin politely declined, he deduced that he just wanted to use his leisure to practice martial arts, and had no time to take care of military affairs.

Su Qin misses Master Guigu, I don't know where they are and whether they are safe. He was thinking about returning to the East, but leaving too quickly would inevitably bring trouble to Engong Wei, so he could only wait for the right time.

Since Meng Ting came to the Qin Kingdom, she suddenly seemed to have a deep estrangement from Su Qin, Su Qin went to look for her, she was always lukewarm, Su Qin sometimes teased her, and Meng Ting pretended not to understand.

Wei Jia has been paying attention to Meng Ting's actions, seeing that she is unusually calm, concentrating on coaching the skills of the teenagers in the music and dance class, and over time, she no longer pays much attention to her.

Su Qin was sometimes depressed, and always felt that Meng Ting did it on purpose, but it was difficult for him to guess the reason. Fortunately, the two can always be together, and when they can see Meng Ting's smile every day, Su Qin is very satisfied.

While living idle, Su Qin carefully inspected the crossbow machine seized from Gongsun Yan, it was less than a foot long and about an inch wide, and it looked like a pale yellow hardwood from the outside, like a folding fan for playing, and there was nothing strange to see from the outside. Su Qin had no choice but to dismantle the crossbow machine, but he was shocked to find that there were as many as twelve crossbow slots densely covered inside, as well as extremely complex and precise chain gears.

Su Qin pondered for a month, but still couldn't see the way, so he took it and went to find Wei Wei. After Wei Wei saw it, he fiddled for a long time, and he didn't know what was going on.

He believes that the crossbow machine is the work of a first-class craftsman, and its ingenuity is so clever that even if it is given to a skilled craftsman, he may not be able to understand it for a lifetime. Wei Wei has been dealing with weapons all his life, he can't figure it out, and Su Qin is also discouraged, so he has to put it away and leave it for later to find a master to solve the mystery.

After Wei Wei returned to Qin, Qin Jun gave him a long vacation, allowing him not to go to court on weekdays, and to summon him when he encountered a particularly urgent matter. Wei Wei had the opportunity to talk about family fun with his children, and the family either immersed themselves in music and dance in the mansion, or went out of the city to enjoy the joy of reunion.

Wei Wei was busy with military affairs when he was young, rarely reunited with his family, suffered a catastrophe in middle age, and experienced more than ten years of loneliness and solitude, and was particularly pleased to have such a stable and peaceful life in his later years. He also became more determined to tell Qin Jun to return to his hometown.

This day was the tenth day after the New Year's Festival, and Wei Wei was thinking about going to Qin Jun to pay New Year's greetings, and by the way, he made his own request to him. Early in the morning, he put on his court clothes, dressed up properly, and prepared to go to court.

Su Qin was practicing swords in the courtyard, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Wei Wei's formal attire, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, so he asked him with concern what happened.

Wei Wei told Su Qin what he thought in his heart, and Su Qin was also happy for him after hearing it. said: "Then I will wait for General Wei to return home with good news." ”

After Su Qin finished practicing his sword, according to the convention, it was time to teach and read poetry books. He walked into the wing room and found that the boys and girls had prepared the book and waited for Su Qin to come and read it. Su Qin was very happy to see their serious attitude, so he talked about "Three Hundred Poems" with great interest.

Su Qin deliberately chose this book for enlightenment, mainly because "Three Hundred Poems" is connected to the work of the music and dance class, which can not only recite, sing, and combine with dance. Because of this reason, the music and dance teenagers comprehend it very quickly. In half a year, I can not only read, but also memorize.

Su Qin lectured for more than an hour, a little tired, inadvertently looked out of the window, and found Meng Ting's shadow, she was waiting for Su Qin to come in to rehearse music and dance after teaching. When Su Qin saw Meng Ting, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, he asked the teenagers to recite the lecture aloud, and he paced out of the room to talk to Meng Ting.

When Meng Ting saw Su Qin, she gave a salute and greetings. Su Qin hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Miss Meng, why should you be polite, we are all old acquaintances." ”

Because Meng Ting insisted repeatedly, Su Qin's title for her was changed back to "Miss Meng", and it seems that for a while, she was called "Ting'er".

Meng Ting replied: "Mr. is a well-educated scholar, and the little woman is a Maiko singer, how dare she stand up to Mr. Her face was as calm as ever, as if there was no intimacy between the two.

Su Qin was anxious that the two of them were getting farther and farther apart, and said worriedly: "You see that the two of us are getting more and more separated, and I don't know how to get along with you." General Wei Wei resigned today, and when he returns to his hometown, I should also leave here. When the time comes, you don't know if you'll be able to go with me. ”

Meng Ting was shocked in her heart, and said in a little panic: "Is Mr. really leaving, you didn't get any appointment when you came to Qin State, how can Sir be willing?" I hope Mr. will think twice. ”

Meng Ting added: "If Mr. insists on leaving, don't worry about me, it's easier for me to make money here, but I don't want to leave easily." ”

Su Qin listened to her tone, and seemed to be retaining herself, showing a little affection, but what is the use of spending it so lukewarmly, it is just a waste of time. Su Qin sighed a few times again and again, his heart was heavy, and he had no intention of teaching everyone to read anymore, so he stopped everyone's reading and turned his head and left.

Meng Ting looked at Su Qin's figure, stunned, reluctant, and helpless.

Su Qin wandered in his room in a daze, and after a while, before it was lunchtime, he heard the door of the Wei Mansion open with a bang, Su Qin thought to himself: Why is the door opened so quickly, is there something wrong?

He hurriedly went out to look, only to see Wei Wei returning to the mansion with a gloomy face, followed by more than twenty Praetorian Guard soldiers in the palace, who were carrying ten large vermilion wooden boxes.

Su Qin sensed from Wei Wei's face that his affairs today were not going well. He wondered: what was in the wooden box that the palace guards had carried?

I saw the guards put down the wooden box and lift the lid of the box, which turned out to be yellow and clear copper blocks, which were used to mint coins for thousands of times. At that time, everyone had the right to mint money, so to get copper was to get money.

The commander of the guards reported loudly to Wei Wei: "I respectfully follow the edict of the king, three thousand catties of gold have been delivered to the Wei general's mansion, please count the general, and we can go back to pay the errand." ”

Wei Wei waved his hand impatiently and said, "Pay off something, just as much as you want." You can go to the end of your life. Seeing that he was not in the mood, the guards didn't say anything, and turned around to say goodbye to Wei Wei.

Su Qin was even more puzzled, and said in his heart: "It's a good thing that Qin Jun gave gold, why is Wei Wei worried about it?" ”
