Chapter Sixty-Nine: A Message from a Snowy Night

Looking at the rising flame, Qin Li's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness and reluctance, and he said in his heart:

Ah Sui, I can understand your distress. If you want to know, I'll be able to find out for you. Wait, and when I find out, I'll write to you.

Guo and Qin Yi both realized that their daughter's face was a little solemn after reading the letter. Knowing that the third prince wrote a letter, he may have mentioned some royal matters, and they were not easy to ask.

After dining with Qin Li, Guo and Qin Yi stood up in unison and prepared to leave the warm pavilion.

Guo Shi said to Qin Li:

"Li'er, since you went to the pharmacy to help them with their work, you haven't rested a day in this time. Your Uncle Hu told me that he wanted you to rest at home. But you say you want to do more work, you want to live a more fulfilling life. I'll follow you. ”

Qin Li said softly:

"Mother, I'm idle at home, I go to the pharmacy to do work, and I can help them do things. Besides, I didn't help in vain, the government sent me silver taels, and Uncle Hu invited us to lunch. I was able to learn a lot from them while working there, which was great. ”

Guo Shi glanced at Qin Li embarrassedly, there is no shortage of silver taels at home, and Li'er needs to go out to do work and be tired, earn some silver taels and go home? If it weren't for the fact that Li'er really liked medicine and went to study in the pharmacy, she was afraid that she wouldn't let Li'er suffer.

She and Qin Yi only have one daughter, and they are reluctant to let their daughter suffer.

Guo Shi saw that Qin Li was still sitting at the dining table, not to mention going back to the bedroom to rest, and couldn't help urging:

"Okay, Li'er, you have to get up early tomorrow and go to rest early."

As soon as Qin Li heard this, she had no choice but to stand up as well, follow behind her parents, and walk out of the warm pavilion.

Back in the bedroom, Qin Li said to Qinghe: "You sleep in the bed tonight, no matter who knocks on the door, don't open the door." I'll go out in your clothes in a moment, and I'll be back in about an hour. ”

As soon as Qinghe heard this, he hurriedly persuaded:

"Miss, it's snowing outside, how cold it is. Where are you going, and what are you going to do? Can you tell your servant? Although the maid is a little stupid, what the young lady wants to do, the maid will definitely try her best to do it for the young lady. ”

As soon as she heard Qin Li say that she was going out, Qinghe inevitably felt worried about her in her heart. Listen to the wind outside, it's so loud. It's not hard to imagine how cold it must be outside at this time.

What's more, it's dark, and it's not safe for the young lady to go out alone.

A very important point is that the young lady is weak, and she is worried that the young lady will catch a cold when she goes out to blow the cold wind at night. For the sake of the young lady, she advised the young lady not to go.

Qin Li looked at Qinghe's eyes, and saw sincerity in Qinghe's eyes. Her heart warmed. At all times, Qinghe treats her well.

It's just that what she wants to do outside, Qinghe can't help her.

In the past, when the original owner was there, it was because the original owner was really too weak to dare to climb over the wall, and she had to help her to escape.

But now it's different, she's still Qin Li, but after she recovered, she didn't forget to exercise every day. Otherwise, she would be too weak to help with the work in the pharmacy.

I'm afraid that before she has stood for half an hour, she feels that her legs hurt, her feet hurt.

But she worked in the pharmacy for several days. Although she sometimes feels a little tired, she can bear that bit of tiredness.

"I'm fine, Qinghe, don't worry about me." Qin Li whispered to Qinghe:

"You can do me a great favor by resting sooner."

Qinghe also vaguely guessed that what the young lady was going to do might not be easy to tell her, so he didn't ask anything more. Just tell Qin Li:

"Miss, you have to pay attention to safety."

Qin Li nodded, "Okay." ”

After that, he sat down in front of the dresser, took off the jade hairpin on his head, and put it in the makeup box.

Qin Li wore a white long jacket with Qinghe, took a money bag, and went out.

Because the original owner was helped by Qinghe last time, he successfully escaped over the wall. Since then, Guo has asked people to make the courtyard wall a little taller, and it is not easy for ordinary people to climb over it.

You can't climb over the wall, you can only wait until one of the cooks comes home, and as soon as the door opens, you will slip out.

Qin Li stood under the big tree, reached out and pulled the collar of his clothes, hoping that the cook would go back earlier. The cooks who work in their homes usually go back to their own homes to stay.

After waiting for about half an hour, Qin Li waited for a cook lady to come over, and the person carried a cowhide lantern in his hand.

She walked quietly to the gate, and waited until the guards opened the door for the cook, and then walked out with the cook.

The guard also said to the cook, "You are a coward, and you have brought a companion with you today." ”

When the cook heard this, she looked at Qin Li, but Qin Li lowered her head and only cared about walking. The cook couldn't see Qin Li's face clearly, but she looked at the clothes Qin Li was wearing, which looked like Qinghe's.

On weekdays, anyone in Qinghe is very friendly.

The cook thought that Qinghe was going out to see the scenery, so she followed her and walked out. So he told the guard, "Yes." It's snowing so hard today, so I've brought a companion with me. I thought that if I accidentally fell, someone would pull me up, wouldn't it? ”

Warden says:

"You're not going to fall, just be careful."

The cook answered, "Thank you, little brother." ”

Qin Li quickly heard the sound of the door closing, and knew that the guard didn't suspect her anything, so she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

But at this moment, the words of the cook came from the ear: "Qinghe, what are you doing so fast?" Let's walk together, we can talk on the way, isn't it better than going our separate ways? ”

Qin Li thought to herself, she couldn't hide it now, she could only tell the truth. So she took off her hat so that the cook could see her face. Reaching out and lightly touching his lips, he made a silent gesture to remind the cook:

It's good to know, don't say it.

The cook looked stunned!

I couldn't believe that the thin woman in front of me was not Qinghe, but their young lady, Qin Li.

The cook took the lantern in her hand to Qin Li, and said in a very soft voice:

"Miss, you'd better make a lantern. It can light the way under your feet, and you can walk better. Alas, our Jiayu Mansion is near the sea, and it is rare for it to snow. But this year, it's a coincidence, it's the end of winter, and it's snowing heavily. I don't dare to think about how cold it will be when the moon arrives. ”

Qin Li didn't take the lantern given to her by the cook, smiled slightly, and said:

"I just walked around and went back soon. Don't worry, I come out every day, and I already feel familiar with everything in this neighborhood. Even if you walk with your eyes closed, you won't fall. ”

"No, no." The cook smiled lightly and said:

"But it was dark, it was snowing, and the road was slippery. The slave maid can't bear to watch the young lady go alone, so let the slave accompany the young lady for a walk. ”

Qin Li nodded, "Okay." ”

Tonight, she really just wanted to walk around the neighborhood. Because she knew that when it got dark, Mozhu's cheap maid would come out and meet Fu Yu.

She doesn't need to go anywhere else to inquire about the news she wants to know, she just tracks Mozhu to see Fu Yu, and she can know something.

Mo Zhu is the maid of her family, and it is not good that after leaving the Qin Mansion, she will not return all night. Otherwise, if the other maidservants spread the news of Mozhu, it would not be good for Yu Mozhu.
