Chapter 72: The Pearl of the East China Sea

In the cool pavilion outside Qingdai's room, a couple in their forties were bombarding the girl in turn.

The middle-aged woman dressed in red and green, her face was wrinkled like a criss-crossing ravine on the Loess Plateau, which was also filled with inferior incense powder, and she fell down with a pop as soon as she moved her mouth: "Niece and nephew, it's not that my aunt said you, this prince has a good family background and is a beautiful person, how many ladies in Qizhou are willing to marry him, and the matchmaker who proposes marriage is about to break the threshold of the command and yamen!" ”

The middle-aged man with a loyal and honest face, but his eyes flashed with the cunning of a small landlord in the countryside, and he poured fragrant tea in his mouth, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Uncle is always good for you, your biological parents are in charge of Pengxi County, there are some things here that can't be managed after all, and my uncle looks at you so old...... People like us are well-known outside, and if you are so big, you don't look for your in-laws, and only say that my maternal uncle doesn't make decisions for you, which is a joke. ”

Poor little Qingdai drooped her head, her eyes were fixed on the embroidered shoes on her feet, she had already wandered out of the world, and she didn't listen to a word of these two words in her heart.

Today, the little county lord of Fanshan County Wangfu (the daughter of the county king is the county lord) is sick, Qingdai has dealings with her boudoir, the little county lord does not want other doctors, as long as the sister of the Li family sees the disease for her, so Qingdai went to the county king's mansion, looked at the disease, and prescribed a prescription.

Unfortunately, on the way back, I met my maternal uncle Zhao Xicai and my aunt Hu.

If you want to say how many years ago, when Li Jianzhong was just admitted to the Juren, Zhao Xicai and Hu often walked to Li's house to flatter this brother-in-law, and Li Jianzhong and his family also helped them from time to time; But since Li Jianzhong was distributed to the remote Pengxi County in Sichuan, the Zhao family knew that they couldn't count on this brother-in-law, so they never moved forward and never stepped into the threshold of the Li family again.

Wang Jinxian is a hereditary commander, the family has a wide range of land, Zhao Xicai is a head of his Zhuangzi, and there are a lot of entries every year, and the people in the village are shallow, so they flatter Zhao Xicai, and he doesn't know how many catties and taels he has.

Early in the morning, the two of them rushed dozens of miles, holding the dried fish, game, mushrooms and other things produced in the village to the command and envoy, and bumped into Qingdai on the way back.

I haven't seen each other for a few years, and suddenly saw that my niece and daughter had grown so big, and Zhao Xicai and his wife actually started to think crookedly out of thin air: in the past few days, the commander of the yamen has been saying that Mrs. Liu wants to find a beautiful daughter-in-law for him because her son is too old to study, so that he can take care of himself; This niece is so beautiful, if you marry her to the son of the commander, wouldn't the two of you soar?

Qizhou is close to Jiangxi, and the custom is that "the mother's uncle is big", and the old lady's uncle is more effective than the uncle, so Zhao Xicai and his wife followed the Li family confidently, and did not discuss with Li Shizhen and Li Jianfang, so they talked to Qingdai first.

I don't want to say dry saliva, Qingdai always lowered her head and didn't say a word, saying that she didn't know what she was thinking when she listened, and said that she didn't listen to it, and people sat honestly and kept the rules of her niece and nephew seeing her uncle.

Hu Shi finally couldn't bear it anymore, "What does my niece mean, or do you say it accurately!" ”

Qing Dai raised her head, her big watery eyes were full of confusion, and she had an innocent expression: "It's not interesting, since you say that Wang Gongzi is good or that, you can marry him any one of you." ”

The two members of the Zhao family were so angry that their cheeks bulged, and after a while, Zhao Xicai put the teacup on the coffee table and slammed it, "Uncle Mother, you don't listen to Uncle Niang's words?" ”

Qing Dai bit her lip and stopped talking.

With a "bang" sound, the Zhao family trembled in fright.

It turned out that the female soldier walked in with a boiling kettle and slammed it on the table next to her, almost smashing the table.

Zhao Xicai shook up his uncle's majesty, pointed and scolded: "You girl is rude, how did you do it?" ”

Female soldier B lifted the teapot and poured it into Zhao Xicai's teacup, and the two of them said that their mouths had been dry for a long time, and they immediately replied: "This girl is still sensible......"

Before he finished speaking, the two of them jumped up as if they had a spring under their buttocks - where is female soldier B pouring tea? Obviously, it was sprinkled on the coffee table, and the boiling hot water splashed everywhere, almost not scalding Zhao Xicai to death.

"You girl is blind, and the ...... of a fly is thrown by a headless fly" Hu Shi felt sorry for the new clothes he wore when he entered the city, and he didn't care about his identity, he opened his mouth and scolded indiscriminately, showing his true colors as a shrew.

As soon as the words fell, the female soldiers C and D also crashed in, dancing with brooms and dustpans, and seven or eight out of ten dances were on the Zhao family.

"Oh, where did you get all this dirty stuff? If you don't clean it well, you will snub the guests. The female soldier pretended to bow her head and sweep the floor.

Xiao Ding also nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, it wasn't so dirty before, but today it's too strange." ”

Hu Shi was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded: "Your Li family's tutor is like this? The master can't even subdue the maid ring, is it still the same? ”

In the corridor outside the cool pavilion, the excitement on the faces of the three concubines of the Jiang family, the Shen family, and the Yang family, there is no need to mention it, and they ordered the servants to bring the little Mazha and bring melon seed tea early, and the bright light of gossip exploded in their eyes.

Hearing that Zhao Xicai was deflated, the three concubines gloated so much that they almost slapped - although there were times when the concubines were arguing with each other, but when they met the two members of the Zhao family, they immediately formed a united front and united with the outside world.

"A, B, C, D, four, you treat her as a maid?" Shen snorted on the ground, "They are female demons and female insects who came down from the battlefield, there is a kind of you who have been subdued, and the old lady has your surname!" ”

Jiang and Yang nodded their heads and felt related.

Shen said indignantly: "Besides, our Li family's nieces and nephews, as uncles and aunts, don't know how to make decisions for her, and want your mother-in-law to help?" ”

The three concubines were the same enemy, and the Shen family was thinking about whether to go in and help Qing Dai drive away the two evil guests, when they heard the voices of several medical hall disciples in the front lobby shouting Senior Brother Qin.

"There's a good show!" The flame of gossip in the eyes of the three concubines was burning, and the small universe erupted with full chakra.

Qin Lin strode over, if Shi Wei was right, he was very likely to be promoted to Qizhou Jinyi Wei Baihu, according to the previous agreement, Qingdai had to fulfill the promise of kissing~ Wow Ka Ka ~ This guy's smile is like a big bad wolf bullying a lamb.

Shen suddenly jumped out of the corridor, his expression was very weird, and his whole face was slightly distorted because of excitement: "Nephew, Qing Dai is not in the room, but in the cool pavilion over there." ”

Qin Lin nodded in thanks, and touched his face inexplicably, there shouldn't be anything sticky, for Mao's eldest aunt with a lewd expression that just used "hello, I'm good"?

On the cool pavilion, Qingdai has used her grandfather to make a shield.

Zhao Xicai was determined to use this niece to tie up with the king's command, and said with extreme disdain: "It is said that your grandfather's medical skills are also very good, but he is pretentious and refuses to deal with the big officials and mansions, otherwise why did I hear earlier that he was arrested by the state government for almost sitting on the charge of quackery and murder?" Niece and daughter, my uncle will never harm you, the commander is the third product, the Wang family is hereditary Qizhou Wei, you marry in the past and will be the commander of the wife, the third product is ordered, tsk ......"

I didn't talk back to how many Qingdai mentioned before, but when it came to the grandfather she admired, the girl didn't agree, with a bag of tears in her eyes, and refuted: "Grandpa didn't kill people by quacks, Brother Qin has already proved that grandpa was framed, so many people have seen it." ”

"Silly girl," Hu Shi looked like he knew everything, as if he knew everything: "If you get married to the big official mansion, who else dares to sue you for quack murder?" There's no such thing at all! ”

"Ahem," Qin Lin knocked twice at the door, and said with a hippie smile: "Who are these two?" ”

Qing Dai was immediately overjoyed when she saw Qin Lin, and when he asked about the girl, she puffed out her cheeks, and said angrily: "Uncle and aunt." ”

"Two nasty ghosts!" The female soldier said to Qin Lin.

"I want to use my niece and nephew to please the main family, shameless!" Female soldier B expressed contempt.

"As annoying as you are, they're worse!" Female soldier C shook her fist.

"So we've got your back!" Xiao Ding smiled sweetly.

That's right...... Qin Lin touched his chin, to everyone's surprise, he actually bowed his hand to the Zhao family, and said respectfully: "Uncle, aunt." ”

Huh, what's going on? A, B, C, D didn't react for the time being.

Xiao Qingdai, who understands the reason, has a delicate face that is so red that it can drip water.

The two members of the Zhao family obviously felt that Qin Lin posed a serious threat to their plans to soar, and Zhao Xicai glared: "Who are you?" How do you call me uncle? ”

Qin Lin said with a smile: "The little nephew and Uncle Li have a good family background, since Sister Qingdai is called the two uncles and aunts, the little nephew should be called so." ”

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of the words had already been cleared, and Hu Shi jumped up suddenly: "You kid toad wants to eat swan meat, but you are just an officer of the guard, and the king commands you to strangle you with a finger!" ”

Qin Lin threw the bowl and plate, and used the silk banana as a hidden weapon, and the flying fish suit was wet with soup and water, so Wang Jinxian took off his clothes and gave them to him. The clothes of the guards were the same, so Hu mistook him for the guards officers.

The officials of more than 1,000 households, the two of them basically recognize each other, since Qin Lin is born, then most of them are humble and petty officials such as 100 households and Zhenfu.

Zhao Xicai was cautious and asked, "What kind of official are you?" ”

"General Banner," Qin Lin's smile was unusually kind.

The two members of the Zhao family almost didn't laugh their teeth out, the general flag is really a small official the size of a sesame mung bean in the guard, and there are hundreds of households, hundreds of households, Zhenfu, deputy thousand households, thousands of households, commanders, and commanders so many levels, and finally they arrived at the commander, which shows how small this general flag is.

"Damn, a little general flag also came to pretend to be big in front of Lao Tzu, believe it or not, give Commander Wang a word to the envoy, break your legs......" Zhao Xicai looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, his expression was quite comic.

Suddenly, his laughter stopped, and he looked at a small box in Qin Lin's hand in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice, "Where did you steal this thing?" Isn't this the treasure of Lord Wang's family, the pearl of the East China Sea that his old Taishan Liu Ye won when he was in peace? ”

The pearl of the East China Sea? Qin Lin hadn't opened it yet, Zhao Xicai said this, he opened the lid of the box, and sure enough, it was a pearl the size of a child's fist, white and warm, shining, and he knew that it was worth a lot of money at a glance.

Qin Lin took out the pearl and looked at it indifferently, and casually stretched out his finger and flicked the pearl onto the coffee table.

Zhao Xicai was so frightened that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, this pearl of the East China Sea was a treasure that the boss of the Liu family got when he was peaceful, Mrs. Liu made a dowry and brought the Qizhou Wei Wang family, or five years ago during the Spring Festival, the king commanded the king to be in a very good mood and drank some wine, only to take it out and watch it with all the commanders and thousands of households, he also saw it from a distance, so he recognized it.

This surnamed Qin was thrown casually, didn't he know that the Pearl of the East China Sea was worth a thousand gold?

"How, how is the Pearl of the East China Sea in your hands?" Zhao Xicai stumbled and asked, "No, you must have stolen it, I'll take it and return it to Lord Wang......"

Qin Lin spread his hands with an innocent face: "Wang Jinxian gave it to me, if you don't believe it, you can ask him." ”

Zhao Xicai's eyes widened: "You are a little general banner, how dare you call the name of the commander?" ”

"Maybe you misunderstood, Wang Jinxian and I are not subordinate to each other," Qin Lin's smile was still honest and honest, "The little nephew is the general banner of the Jinyi Wei Qizhou Hundred Households." ”

Goo Dong ~ Zhao Xicai rolled his eyes and fainted straightforwardly.
