Chapter 53: The Secret in the Rouge Box
Qin Li raised his eyebrows angrily and asked, "That bastard thing surnamed Fu, I'm afraid it's not looking for trouble?" ”
She and him have long been clearly distinguished, how can she have his friend's belongings here? ”
"The maid also thinks that Fu Gongzi is not well-intentioned." Qinghe glanced at Qin Li awkwardly and explained:
"But when Fu Gongzi came to the house, he told the lord and the lady so. The lord did not let him go, but said to the lady, let the lady come and ask the lady if there is something wrong. ”
"Just ask." Qin Li was fearless. I no longer have anything to do with Fu Yu, no matter who asks, that's what happened.
As soon as the words fell, there was a knock at the door.
Qin Li guessed that it should be Guo Shi who came, and immediately asked Qinghe to open the door.
I saw Guo standing at the door, and the person following Guo was Ziqin. Mo Zhu, who was standing outside the door before, didn't know where he had gone at this time.
Qin Li looked at Guo Shi with a smile and asked, "Mother, ...... you?"
Guo Shi gave Ziqin a look, and quickly closed the bedroom door after she walked into the room. looked at Qin Li, who was standing in front of the desk, and his eyes flashed with pity.
"Li'er, my mother doesn't know what happened today, but I just mentioned that bastard thing to you, but I didn't think about it, and that bastard thing was found."
As he spoke, Guo Shi stretched out his hand and pointed to his cheek, and said with disdain:
"I don't know how brazen that bastard thing is! He wanted to come to our house, and he found a high-sounding reason, saying that he had a friend who entrusted him to invite him to come to our house and help him get back an item. ”
At this time, Qin Li had already suppressed the anger in his heart, so after hearing Guo's words, he said very calmly:
"What does he want to come for? Let him speak out. If there is such an item, let's take it out and give it to him. Save him from coming to our house in the future, which will annoy people. ”
Guo Shi said in a very soft voice:
"Listen to Fu Yu, that kind of item is a box of rouge you received when you were on the barge yesterday."
After Qin Li went home yesterday, he did open the rouge box and read it, there was only one note in it, but there was no rouge.
The note reads, "Qin Fang Paints Boat Boat, 酉时".
The handwriting is very beautiful, it should be from the hand of a woman.
Qin Li had already taken out the note and put it in his purse, and at this time he only heard Guo mention it, and said truthfully:
"Mother, that's the case."
Guo Shi nodded slightly, motioning for Qin Li to continue.
Qin Li took out the note from his purse, put it in Guo's hand, and after Guo's read it, he said his opinion:
"I don't know why Fu Yu's friend put the note in someone's rouge box? We don't know what kind of person his friend is, if he gives him the rouge box like this, will he cause us some trouble in the future? We have to take these issues into consideration. ”
Hearing this, Guo also felt embarrassed. If he didn't take the items to Fu Yu, then Fu Yu would definitely stay in the house and would not want to leave.
Her Li'er has retired from family affairs, if the family knows that Fu Yu has been to their house and stayed for a while. I'm afraid that if this matter is spread out, it will also affect Li'er's good reputation.
Guo weighed it again and again before he said: "Then you wait for your mother to go out and ask first, so that you can know what kind of person that bastard's friend is." If that person is like him, he is a non-trivial person, we don't have to give him the rouge box. ”
Qin Li gave Guo a thumbs up, "Okay, the children listen to their mother." ”
Guo put the note away properly, only took the empty rouge box in his hand, and left the room and headed to the hall.
When he came to the hall, Guo saw Fu Yu walking forward quickly and asked her, "Senior Lady, have you seen the objects that my friend asked me to find?" ”
Guo's eyelids didn't lift, since Li'er was hurt by this bastard's kindness, Chu Xinyan. When she looked at this person again, no matter how she looked at it, it was not pleasing to the eye.
At this time, if it weren't for her family officials, she was afraid that she would drive Fu Yu out and not allow him to come again. But Fu Yu is a student of her family's officials after all, even if she hates Fu Yu, she can't drive Fu Yu out in front of her family's officials.
Fu Yu saw Guo ignore him, smiled flatteringly, bowed, and said:
"Master, the younger generation has something to ask for, and I hope the teacher will agree......"
When it came to this, Qin Yi coughed lowly, wanting to remind Guo that it was almost there. Since you don't want people to stay here for a while, you should give them your belongings as soon as possible so that they can leave here as soon as possible.
It saved the man from hanging around in front of them, and he was annoyed when he saw it.
Guo Shi understood what Qin Yi meant, but he wanted to deliberately embarrass Fu Yu, and asked, "That friend of yours, why didn't he come to pick it up by himself?" If I give it to you, you turn around and say, I didn't give it. So what? ”
Fu Yu looked embarrassed, and was about to cry in a hurry, so he bowed to Guo Shi again, and said:
"Master, don't you know about me? If I had picked it up for a friend, I would have told her the truth, "That's the case." You can rest assured that she won't come back to you. ”
"The old body dares to believe other people's words, but what you and Miss Chu said, the old body really can't believe it." When Guo said this, he gave Ziqin a look, and asked Ziqin to get the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
I have to ask Fu Yu to write a note, press a handprint, and sign a name.
At that time, I am not afraid that Fu Yu will come to them to say anything about this matter again.
Ziqin quickly found a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, carefully placed them on the coffee table for Fu Yu one by one, and said, "Fu Gongzi, please." ”
Fu Yu looked at the rouge box that Guo Shi held in his hand, endured the unhappiness in his heart, hurriedly went to the coffee table to sit down, and wrote down the receipt.
After Guo and Qin Yi had checked it, they reached out and took the rouge box from Guo's hand. Just as he was about to open it, Guo's mocking words came from his ears:
"It means that you are a talented person, and when you went to participate in the scientific examination, you didn't even get on the list. It turns out that you have been thinking about all these messes all these years. Look at you, you haven't married anyone, but you want to open someone else's rouge box to see......"
Fu Yu was angry and ashamed, his face turned red for a while, and he didn't dare to say a word about Guo. Hurriedly put the rouge box in his sleeve pocket, and left the hall of the Qin Mansion as if he had fled.
Five days later.
Qin Li received a letter, plus two pairs of super beautiful pheasants, which Zhao Sheng had brought to her father and then handed them to her.
Even the cage for the pheasant is quite delicately made, suitable for placing in the yard for people to enjoy.
But she was not so generous, and after receiving the pheasant, she took Qinghe directly to the kitchen and put the pheasant in the abandoned firewood room.
The abandoned firewood house was renovated, and she provided the design drawings, and Guo took the drawings and went to a craftsman to help with the repair.
When I opened the door of the firewood house, I saw that there were small villas inside, but they were all for pheasants.
Qin Li put all the wild pheasants into the villa, vacated the cages, and then took the two cages back for collection.
As soon as he returned to the room, Qin Li saw Guo Shi, only to hear Guo Shi say: "Li'er, the person who gave you the rouge box that day was unfortunately killed by a secret arrow after arriving in the imperial city on a merchant ship. ”
