32. Life experience

"This girl is angry and sad for a while, but Qingqing has been healthy since she was a child and has no injuries, so there is no big problem."

In the Falling Moon Qintai, in Yaoqin's boudoir, Qingqing was lying on the bed, her face was pale, her brows were furrowed, as if she was asleep, and she seemed to have a nightmare.

From time to time, shout a word Master, or a word of Senior Brother to run.

I think I had a nightmare.

An elderly doctor removed his fingers from Qingqing's wrist, touched his beard, and said to the worried Yaoqin girl sitting on the edge of the bed:

"The old man prescribes a side prescription and gives it to the young girl, and it will be effective in two or three days, and then he will rest for a month, and he will not fall into the root of the disease."

"I'm sorry for you, Steward Su."

Yaoqin said to the healer:

"I've been bothering you to take care of Qingqing these days, this girl is like my own sister, I really can't bear to see her suffer."

"It doesn't matter."

Steward Su stood up, carried the medicine box, and said to Yaoqin:

"The old man is the Su family's generational medical care, I have watched you and Qingqing grow up since I was a child, this ghostly and clever girl is also like my juniors, and the old man will be attentive."

"It's just, Miss Yaoqin, don't worry too much because of Qingqing's illness."

Steward Su reminded:

"You have been frail since you were a child, and now you have to manage the affairs of the entire Moon Falling Merchant Workshop, you are already working hard, and you are worried that if you think about anything else, I am afraid that you will also suffer from illness."

"I know, Steward Su."

Yaoqin nodded, and she said:

"You go and rest, by the way, please ask Senior Brother Shen Qiu to wait outside, I will wait for Qingqing to feel better, and then go out to talk to him."

Steward Su left quickly, Yaoqin sat on the edge of the bed, picked up a handkerchief, and helped Qingqing wipe the sweat from her forehead.

She said quite distressedly:

"It's really a poor girl, since she was a child, her family has been separated, there is a master who feels sorry for you, but she is still gone, and you don't know your background, alas... It's really ill-fated. ”

"Brother Mountain Ghost, kill that dog thief!"

Qingqing shouted again in a daze.

This made Yaoqin, who wiped her sweat, stunned for a moment.

This girl called Master, Senior Brother, she can understand, after all, the three of them in the Lu Family Dart Bureau depend on each other and have deep feelings, but who is this mountain ghost?

Listening to Qingqing's tone, he seemed to trust the mountain ghost.

This trip she followed Uncle Lu to Taihang Mountain, what did she experience?

Yaoqin was puzzled in her heart, but Qingqing couldn't answer at this time, so she thought of Shen Qiu who was waiting outside, perhaps, that senior brother would know something.

Speaking of which, Senior Brother Shen Qiu seems to have changed a lot when he comes back this time.

Yaoqin stood up, she put on the veil again, picked up the beauty fan, and walked outside, thinking that it was because of Uncle Lu's suffering that Senior Brother Shen Qiu, who was busy with everything, to work hard?

But it's not quite like it.

It's only been two months, how can it be like a different person?

"Senior Brother Shen Qiu."

When Yaoqin walked out of the boudoir, she saw Shen Qiu, who was standing at the door, looking at the small lake in front of her, who was standing straight, holding a Yanling knife in his left hand and holding a wooden railing with his right hand.

The wind blew his robe, causing Shen Qiu's single ponytail hair to sway along with the wind.

Yaoqin noticed that Shen Qiu's hands were wearing black gloves, which seemed to be used by people in the rivers and lakes, and they were decorated with stainless steel finger guards.

has a bit of the temperament of a young man.

"Miss Yaoqin."

When Shen Qiu heard someone calling him, he turned around and leaned slightly towards Miss Yaoqin.

Qingqing can call each other sisters with Yaoqin, but he can't, the Lujia Dart Bureau is a shop attached to the Falling Moon Merchant Square, and the Yaoqin girl is theoretically Shen Qiu's boss.

There must be due respect.

And Shen Qiu was also quite surprised at this time, this Yaoqin girl, why did she walk silently?

"You don't have to be so polite, Senior Brother Shen Qiu."

Yaoqin pointed to her hand, and she said:

"Sit down and talk, I have something to say to you."

Shen Qiu walked into the house and sat on the chair, a maid brought tea, and Yaoqin sat on the brocade couch above, she shook the beauty fan, thought for a moment, and said to Shen Qiu:

"Uncle Lu went to Taihang for more than half a month, and no letter was returned, so I was worried, so I found the Yijia Dart Bureau in the city to visit, and ten days ago, they brought back Uncle Lu's body."

Yaoqin sighed, and she said:

"I've seen it, and I've had a lot of wounds, and I'm dying in a terrible state."

"That dart head Yi Ke guessed that Uncle Lu should have been plotted to death by someone close to him, so I want to ask, what do you think about the cause of Uncle Lu's death?"

"Miss Yaoqin doesn't have to worry too much."

Shen Qiu picked up the teacup, lowered his head by drinking tea, and said softly:

"It's his sworn brother, Luoyang chivalrous Cha Bao, who colluded with the black-clothed guards of the Northern Dynasty to murder him, Qingqing and I have to meet the heroes of the rivers and lakes to help, and we have already got rid of Cha Bao."

"Master's revenge has been avenged. If he had knowledge under the nine springs, he would probably have rested in peace. ”

"Oh? Heroes? ”

Yaoqin's hand holding the fan moved, she was silent for a moment, and asked:

"Is it a mountain ghost?"

Shen Qiu's eyes immediately narrowed.

Then I heard Yaoqin explain:

"It was Qingqing who said it in her dream, and she seems to have a lot of trust in that mountain ghost."

"Yes."

Shen Qiu secretly said that the stupid girl was bad, but his face was very calm, and he said to Yaoqin:

"It's true that the self-proclaimed mountain ghost hero helped me and Qingqing, but he made a pact with us that he couldn't tell anyone else about him, so I hope Miss Yaoqin won't ask again, okay?"

"Well, so be it."

Yaoqin doesn't seem to be interested in the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

She no longer asked about the mountain ghosts, but said to Shen Qiu:

"Uncle Lu and my father are old friends, he is the elder in my family, Uncle Lu is upright, he doesn't want to disturb my family, so he opened his own dart game, and I, as a junior, are inconvenient to persuade."

"But now, Uncle Lu and my father are both deceased, Senior Brother Shen Qiu, it is better to move to this Luoyue Qintai with Qingqing."

"I took over a huge business shop from my father, and sometimes I felt that I couldn't do it."

Yaoqin waved the fan in her hand and said softly:

"If my brother is willing to help me, I will find you an errand in the mall..."

"No need, Miss Yaoqin."

Shen Qiu shook his head, and he said:

"Let Qingqing live here, she has a deep love for Miss Yaoqin, and I am relieved to live here, but I, I will continue to play the dart game, and I can't bear to let Master's hard work go to waste.

I think that with the cleverness of the young girl, I can also help Miss Yaoqin, I have been reckless since I was a child, and I am afraid that it will ruin the affairs of the business.

Miss Yaoqin is the owner of the shop, and she is afraid that she will break the rules by placing people close to her at will.

Qingqing and I, as well as Master, have received too much favor from the Su family, but we can't repay it, but we can only refuse the girl's love. ”

Shen Qiu's words were transparent, and they did not damage Yaoqin's face, he had already made up his mind, so that Yaoqin was a little speechless.

The atmosphere cooled down for a moment.

Shen Qiu took a sip of tea, he thought about it, and then asked again:

"Speaking of which, I really need Miss Yaoqin's help with something here."

"Say it."

Yaoqin waved her fan and said:

"You are Uncle Lu's disciple, and we are not outsiders between us."

"I want to ask Miss Yaoqin, do you know anything about my master when he was young?"

Shen Qiu asked:

"Qingqing and I were in distress in Taihang, and from that mountain ghost hero, I learned some news about the martial arts that Master taught me, and he told me that it was martial arts in the army, and only the Tiance Army could inherit it.

Could it be that when Master was young, he was also a Tiance soldier? ”

"This..."

Shen Qiu's question caught Yaoqin off guard for a while.

There was a look of embarrassment in her eyes.

Seeing this, Shen Qiu said:

"If it's inconvenient to say, then forget it, I'm just just curious."

He looked out the door, then got up to take his leave.

"It's getting late today, I'll leave Qingqing here with Miss Yaoqin, and I'll go back to the dart game first."

With that, he grabbed his knife and turned to leave.

When he walked to the door, Yaoqin called him.

"Senior brother, slow down."

Yaoqin stood up and said to the maids beside her:

"You all go out, no one is allowed to stay within thirty feet of this house!"

"Yes, miss."

The maid walked away quickly, and closed the door.

After they left, Yaoqin sat back on the brocade couch and said to Shen Qiu, who was standing in place:

"Senior Brother is not only a trusted person of Qingqing, but also a personal disciple of Uncle Lu, and he is also a person I trust, but Uncle Lu's past involves the old things of the previous dynasty, and the aftermath of those things has not yet dissipated today."

Yaoqin wore a veil, and her big eyes stared at Shen Qiu, as the owner of the Falling Moon Merchant Workshop, a famous wealthy merchant in the land of Gusu, there was pressure to be stared at by her seriously.

She stared at Shen Qiu and said seriously:

"Senior brother, if you learn about this, you won't be able to escape, if something goes wrong, there will be a disaster of death, are you still willing to listen?"

Shen Qiu didn't answer.

He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then looked at Yaoqin and said:

"I guess, it has something to do with Qingqing's life experience?"

"You!"

Yaoqin was really surprised now.

She pointed at Shen Qiu, wondering if Shen Qiu had heard something from Uncle Lu.

But Shen Qiu's face was as usual, and he said:

"Tiance Army, the old dart master, is involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty, this is easy to guess, Miss Yaoqin, the master did not tell me this, in fact, when we were forced to separate, there was no time to say this.

Master asked me to fight for my life to protect Qingqing, which shows that in his eyes, his life and my life are not as important as Qingqing's life. ”

"That girl is not an abandoned baby in Suzhou..."

Shen Qiu pulled over the chair and sat opposite Yaoqin, with his back against the door, his luck was so lucky, so that his ears and eyes were light, he said to Yaoqin:

"Say, Miss Yaoqin."

"You are a weak woman, you are willing to take the risk of hiding it for Qingqing, how can I retreat from my good man? If I dare to come today, I will not be afraid of any kind of murder. ”

Yaoqin looked Shen Qiu up and down.

This senior brother is indeed different, maybe there is an adventure in walking the rivers and lakes?

It can't be a ghost, right?

After several minutes of thought, Yaoqin made up her mind.

She said to Shen Qiu:

"First of all, my father's clan has several generations of in-law relationship with Qingqing's mother's clan, so legally speaking, Qingqing is indeed my sister. My Su family only cares about Qingqing and does not take advantage of it, which senior brother can rest assured. ”

"Hmm."

Shen Qiu nodded.

He had always been very suspicious before, how could Qingqing, a girl from a small family, have such a close relationship with the young master of the Falling Moon Merchant Workshop?

The mystery is solved.

The "Second Miss" of the Qintai steward was not called in vain.

"Secondly, Uncle Lu is indeed a soldier of Tiance, and he was also a brave lieutenant, one of the henchmen under the command of Tiance General Li Shouguo."

Yaoqin said:

"More than 20 years ago, in March of the first year of Zhengding, the Tiance army defeated the vanguard of the Northern Dynasty at Dasanguan, and suffered a heavy setback to its sharpness, and pursued it with the Tiance general Li Shouguo and 3,000 elite starry nights under Duwei Lu Unruly.

The Tiance army broke through the Hanzhong camp of the Northern Dynasty and recaptured Chang'an Guanzhong. In that battle, Uncle Lu was the pioneer of Tiance, and it was he who broke the gate of Chang'an with the deployment! ”

"Uncle Lu is a living hero, and you must not think of him as an old man with a strange temper."

Shen Qiu nodded.

He guessed that the cheap master had a story, but he didn't realize that the old man had such a beautiful scenery when he was young.

It's really hard to associate the image of a hero in a hundred battles with the face of that weird-tempered old man.

Yaoqin shook her fan and continued:

"The kingdom of the Great Chu of the previous dynasty was originally in Yanjing, but after it was invaded by the Northern Dynasty, Emperor Shao of Chu moved to Lin'an Palace with his concubines and daughters."

"23 years ago, before Zhao Hu entered Lin'an, the young emperor felt that Zhao Hu had a heart of disobedience, and sent a request for help to various places, and the Tiance army responded to the young emperor's request for help, when Chang'an had been recaptured, General Li Shouguo asked the young emperor to move to Chang'an."

"The henchman he sent to Lin'an is Uncle Lu."

Yaoqin sighed, and she said:

On the eve of Zhao Hu's entry into Lin'an, the Lin'an Palace caught fire, and Emperor Chu Shaodi was unfortunately killed, but his son and daughter-in-law were rescued by Uncle Lu and loyal people from all walks of life.

At that time, I was not yet born, and it was my father who took them over, because my family was a merchant of the former dynasty, and I received the emperor's favor in the world, and there was no way to repay it. Unfortunately, things went wrong after all.

Zhao Hu colluded with the people in the rivers and lakes to assassinate the son and daughter-in-law of the young emperor in the night of Lin'an, and in the chaos, the son of the young emperor and his wife, whom Uncle Lu could only protect, rushed out of Lin'an, and other members of the royal family were killed.

Uncle Lu rushed to Chang'an with two Chu descendants, and was also assassinated on the way, but survived, and since then, they have lived in the northwest.

Then, in the 10th year of Zhengding, that is, 13 years ago, the former and descendants returned to Lin'an with their wives to worship their ancestors, and were brutalized by the demon sect on the way. ”

Yaoqin breathed a sigh of relief, and her story was over.

In June of the following year, Qingqing was born, and her mother also died of excessive worry, and she was buried on the lakeside outside the Luoyue Qintai, where Uncle Lu's tomb was also located.

Tiance Army has the eyeliner of the lord of the Southern Dynasty, and Uncle Lu didn't dare to take Qingqing back, so he could only settle in Suzhou.

From then until now, 13 years ago, Uncle Lu never mentioned the past, and I heard about it from my father. ”

She stood up and looked at the silent Shen Qiu.

She accentuated her tone and said to Shen Qiu:

"Today's events can come out of my mouth and into your ears, no third person can know, even if Qingqing asks, you must not say it!

Senior Brother Shen Qiu, this matter is very related, once it is leaked, it will be a catastrophe.

Do you know why Uncle Lu took Qingqing to Taihang?

It's not just because of the relics of the immortal family, but because the Southern Dynasty patrol entered Suzhou before March, and he took Qingqing to avoid trouble. ”

Shen Qiu was shocked when he heard this, he looked at Yaoqin, and he said:

"Then if I bring Qingqing back this time, won't I fall into the net?"

"Not really."

Yaoqin chuckled, she waved her fan and said:

"In this world, how many loyal people like Uncle Lu are there?"

"Those patrols and arrests in Suzhou borrowed the order of the lord of the country to pay bribes, they wantonly collected money, and their mouths were full of oil, and they went back to Lin'an half a month ago."

Only then did Shen Qiu put his mind at ease.

He glanced at Yaoqin's boudoir, he stood up, and asked:

"Qingqing's biological father, is he really dead?"

"Well, I don't know."

Yaoqin shook her head, and she said with emotion:

"When my father was alive, he was always looking for it, but he didn't find anything, if the former and future generations were really alive, he would have to be almost 40 this year, right?"

"Then I'll put Qingqing here."

Shen Qiu had heard too many things today, and he needed to be alone to digest it, so he clasped his fists and saluted the Yaoqin girl and said:

"I'll take my leave and come to see Qingqing another day."

"Well, Senior Brother Shen Qiu be careful on the road, I won't send you."

Yaoqin sent Shen Qiu to the door, and she said:

"If you encounter something that can't be solved in Suzhou City, you will come to this Luoyue Qintai, and I will do my best to help."
