Chapter 30: Follow the trend

Time flies, and on the morning of the appointed day, Wei Wei's relatives and Ning Jun drove a very wide carriage out of the Qin camp, and Su Qin sat firmly in the car, lowering the curtain to avoid being stared at.

Su Qin asked the carriage to go around the city for half a circle outside Quwo before entering the city through the east gate, still to hide people's eyes and ears and make the action more hidden.

Because of the token that Chen needed, the soldiers defending the city happily let him go. Su Qin secretly wrote down the road from the east gate to Chen Xu's mansion last time, so the carriage came all the way to the gate of Chen Xu's mansion. Ning Jun parked the carriage on the side of the mansion gate and waited, and Su Qin entered the Chen Mansion alone.

Chen Xu also knew that Su Qin was coming today, but he didn't expect him to come so early, he was sorting out the books in the study, and after receiving the report from Steward Shen, he was not in a hurry, and after cleaning up, he walked out to the courtyard where he first entered and went to see Su Qin.

Su Qin had been waiting impatiently, and wanted to rush in directly several times, scolding Chen Xu, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still held back. He secretly scolded Chen Xu in his heart for being an old fox.

Su Qin was angry and anxious, but when he saw Chen Xu, he was able to do the opposite, pretending to be particularly enthusiastic, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Ah, General Chen, you are busy with military affairs, and you have to bother you to deal with this matter personally, it is really difficult for you." ”

Seeing that Su Qin was very respectful and polite to him, Chen Xu inevitably had a look of arrogance on his face, and replied: "It's better for me to hand over this matter to you personally, so as not to cause extraneous branches and make people abduct the maiko in the house." ”

There was sarcasm in Chen Xu's words, of course Su Qin could hear it, but he still didn't change his enthusiasm. said: "Who dares to kidnap your General Chen's maiko, it's very bold." I don't know if General Chen is ready to stop, so I'll go pick up someone. ”

Chen Xu replied confidently: "No problem, just go, we are ready." In fact, Chen Xu didn't reveal the slightest news to anyone in the music and dance class, so let alone prepare.

Su Qin followed Chen Xu and Steward Shen to the second wing of the courtyard, which was where the daily activities of the music and dance class were located. When he entered the house, Su Qin found that there were three maiko playing musical instruments there, and Wei Jia's sister and brother were not there.

Su Qinxin said: "This is what you Chen Xu said about being prepared, I think you are deliberately making trouble." ”

He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, still pretending to be smiling, and said, "Why don't you see the others, where are the Wei Jia sisters and brothers?" Chen Xu instructed Steward Shen to go to the various rooms in the wing room to find people, and after a while, everyone arrived.

Wei Jia and the others were called temporarily, they didn't understand what was going on, and when they saw Su Qin, they were taken aback, and they were completely confused.

Seeing everyone coming, Chen Xu cleared his throat and said slowly: "Mr. Su Qin came this time to buy a music and dance class and bring it to Qin State, of course, he won't come back this time." As for him, I saw your wonderful performance here last time, and I want to choose a few people from among you to take away, if you want, let him go, if you don't want to, we won't force it. After all, the conditions of the Qin State were worse. ”

Su Qin listened to the "poor conditions" he deliberately added, and he trembled with anger, thinking: "You are obviously trying to dissuade them from going with me, where is it to let the family volunteer." He couldn't help but worry about whether he could take Meng Ting away.

He hurriedly followed Chen Xu's words and said, "If anyone is willing to go, we will pay him a large price, and it is also cost-effective for you to make a windfall." And in the future, I don't want to continue to do it, and I can come and go freely. ”

There is obviously a contradiction between Chen Xu and Su Qin's words, one says it is bad, and the other says it is good, which makes it very difficult for everyone. Su Qin glanced at Wei Jia's sister and brother, and Wei Jia understood. He said, "I'm willing to go." Wei Xiang also immediately expressed his willingness to go. As for the others, they shook their heads.

At this time, I saw Meng Ting biting her lip, as if it was particularly difficult to say: "The little girl has nothing to worry about here, if Mr. Su can promise to give me fifty gold every year, I am willing to try, after all, music and dance is the work of young people, and it is useless when you are old, it is better to earn more money while you are young." ”

Chen Xu listened to Meng Ting's words, he couldn't believe it was true, he didn't expect Meng Ting to make such a choice. He originally thought that Meng Ting was deeply suffering from the people of Qin, and he would not go to Qin no matter what.

However, what Meng Ting said about making more money while she is young is also the truth of this industry. Chen Xu secretly scolded in his heart: "Okay, you Meng Ting turned out to be a person who loves money and forgets righteousness, I really lost my eyes." You only showed your true colors at this time, and it is in vain that I need to be so important to you. ”

Thinking of this, Chen Xu simply turned his face away and didn't even look at Meng Ting.

Meng Ting's words sounded very pleasant to Su Qin, because he finally fulfilled his promise to take Meng Ting away. He felt that Meng Ting was a very affectionate and righteous woman, and this time she went to Qin Country completely out of affection for him, thinking of this, Su Qin was particularly moved.

Wei Jia didn't think so, she said in her heart: "You vixen, follow us, I don't know what kind of heart you have." However, Su Qin said first, and those who were willing to go to the Qin State were all with her, and her status at this time was not suitable for raising objections. Thinking that she would have to face Meng Ting and others, Wei Jia hated it so much that her teeth itched.

Su Qin was already satisfied with these three people. He asked the three of them to pack their bags briefly and set off immediately. The matter was in a hurry, and the three of them didn't have time to take too much luggage, so they only took the soft and followed Su Qin to the outside of the mansion.

Su Qin asked Steward Shen to call the servants from Chen Xu's Mansion and move all the five hundred gold on the carriage into Chen's Mansion. Chen needed to see the five hundred gold, and knew that the Dao was a gift of thanks from Wei Wei, and he had also agreed with Su Qin before, so he did not refuse.

When Wei Jia's sister and brother said goodbye to Chen Xu, they wept reluctantly. Chen Xu also burst into tears. True feelings were revealed between them, which instantly moved Su Qin, and he thought: "In fact, Chen Xu paid a lot of price to keep Qu Wo, not to mention breaking up his own music and dance class, and also giving up the Wei Jia sisters and brothers who have been with him for more than ten years. ”

Su Qin thought about it again: "Why did Chen Xu insist that the members of the music and dance class choose voluntarily, probably because he was still reluctant to break up the music and dance class that had cooperated with him and accompanied him for more than ten years. ”

Steward Shen led the way on a horse, Ning Jun drove the carriage, and Su Qin and Wei Jia went to the inn to pick up the other Maiko who had bought good food. The carriage happened to pass by a cloth shop, and Meng Ting said that she didn't have enough clothes, and wanted to buy some silk and cloth to cut a few clothes after arriving in the Qin Kingdom. Su Qin felt that it was reasonable, so he put her down halfway and made an appointment to pick her up when he left the city.

Su Qin went to the inn and saw Steward Shen buy a good maiko, a total of six, four women and two men, all of whom were in their teens, and their music and dance skills could not be seen for a while, but they were all very handsome. Su Qin was very satisfied, took out a gold ingot from his arms, and stuffed it to Steward Shen to show his gratitude.

These young maiko have been bought and bought since they were young, and they have no personal freedom, and they dare not resist when the master sells them. Steward Shen explained to them that it was the people of the Qin State who bought them, and deliberately emphasized that the new master family would provide them with higher treatment, and these people were all mixed blessings, of course, it was inevitable that they would have a lot of conversations.

Su Qin followed the maiko in the inn, and went to find Meng Ting, and saw her standing at the door of the cloth shop with the cloth in her arms.

Su Qin got out of the car and walked to the door of the cloth shop, took the cloth, and took Meng Ting into the carriage. The carriage was still out of the east gate of Quwo, and Steward Shen sent them to the gate of the city, turned around and went back to the house to report to Chen Xu.

Su Qin looked at the beloved woman in the carriage, and with a satisfied expression, he went to the Qin camp.
