Chapter 35: Grounded, Grounded Again
As soon as Qin Lian heard He Lingtu's words, he immediately reacted: "Qin Songen! ”
He scolded in his heart, did it happen? That is really hateful to bring tired sisters in the family for no reason.... But what to do now, according to the truth, it's better to fool the past first.... That dead girl, when she first arrived home, obviously said that she had nothing to do with the Dawan Mission, but she was assassinated by the Wei people, and she escaped and was rescued by the prefect's wife....
Could it be that the prefect of Yangzhou is also lying to herself?
Qin Lian's hands and feet were cold for a while, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to do.
Who knew that at this moment, He Lingtu suddenly put away his playful expression, took a few steps back, and stood aside solemnly, returning to his original lofty appearance.
Qin Lian looked up and saw a majestic and tall man walking in silently, Qin Lian recognized him, he was the deputy envoy of the Dawan Mission, compared to the envoy He Lingtu, who was always high and did not eat the fireworks of the world, the deputy envoy was a little silent and terrifying, sometimes it almost made people ignore his existence, but the entire mission respected him very unitedly.
These days, in order to take care of these Dawan people, he almost stayed in the duty room of the State Guest House without clothes, for fear that these Dawan people would make him some moths that could not be collected, and he really didn't bother to take care of a few children in the family, so sometimes the interpreter of the State Guest House would quietly come to chat with him, saying that those Dawan soldiers also complained about their bosses in private like the soldiers of their Ye Dynasty, but for so long, some people have said Fu Jin, some people have said He Lingtu, but he has never heard anyone say a bad word about the deputy envoy.
Therefore, although he didn't know what the origin of the deputy envoy was, Qin Lian always felt that this young Dawan man was not simpler than He Lingtu, and even looked a little impenetrable.
On the other hand, He Lingtu didn't want Mi Xing to find out that this was a little similar to the woman he liked, and might even be her blood relative, Lord Qin, He Lingtu sighed: If he was discovered by Mi Xing, he would definitely come to stop him again, and it would definitely be him who would back down at that time. Alas, who told me to be someone's brother?
In fact, He Lingtu also knew that Mi Xing was a stubborn person, and he would not easily disobey his orders, but once he really disagreed, he did not agree, and there was no discussion, even if he fought for his life.
He Lingtu threw a bogey, he couldn't hurt his love for growing up with Mixing for an insignificant woman, so when he saw Mixing coming, he didn't want to cause more trouble, but he secretly wrote it down in his heart.
He originally planned to secretly instruct Fu Jin to inquire into the family of that Lord Qin, but at this time, riding on the horse, he remembered that Fu Jin and Mi Xing also had a very close relationship, and after thinking about it for a long time, he planned to wait for tomorrow morning to send another clever spy to inquire.
"Really, I'm my brother, why am I always afraid of that brother?" He Lingtu suddenly came back to his senses, and muttered with some disgust, "Forget it, just let him be old when I'm old." Where can I find such a good brother? ”
Qin Mansion, the biggest news tonight is that Qin Songen, who had just been released from the ban for less than a day, was locked up again.
Now everyone in the Qin Mansion is secretly laughing at this "eldest lady" who has just returned home from outside, and the old lady and Aunt Zhou were still counting on lifting her up, taking advantage of her lack of etiquette and vulgar behavior to fight with the most important rules, but who knew that she would be disgusted less than a day after she was released, and Aunt Zhou, who had been taking care of her.
"Hey, in the end, I grew up outside, I will take revenge, and people's hearts are not ancient!" The woman sighed and shook her head at Qin Songen's house.
"That's right!" The other woman chimed in, nodding her head repeatedly.
Everyone knows that her sister's hard-to-wrap foot was untied by her, and everything had to start again. Qin Songci had to endure the hardships he had suffered before, "The younger you are, the softer your leg bones are, the easier it is to fold up." Now that the third lady is older than before, I'm afraid that she will have to suffer again. ”
Foot binding is not done overnight, often the first time is not too tight, to the extent that the feet can bear the small pain, during which the toes are bent and wrapped so that the feet are slightly curled downward. The time to try tightening is also a few days to about two months, during which the footcloth is pulped harder, wrinkled and slightly tightly wrapped around the foot, so that the foot is subjected to the pressure of the hard footcloth and tight wrapping, and then it can be really tightened.
Qin Songen shot when Qin Songci was wrapped for the third time, which was originally the most painful one, and he needed to push the small phalanges (that is, the outer bones) down and curl up into the center of the foot, and push the little toe heel down to the inside of the foot, and then tighten it with a wrapping cloth until the toes and heels were close together, and the arches of the feet were shrunk beyond retraction, which was considered to be wrapped into a pair of standard small feet.
"This eldest lady is really not like talking!" The woman finally concluded, "I can't wrap my little feet anymore, so I go to practice my sister, black-hearted, but fortunately we are not assigned to serve in her house." ”
In the house, those mothers-in-law probably amplified their voices and came in intermittently, and Mu Xi and Pomegranate only felt red and uncomfortable when they heard it. Pomegranate has a hot temper and is about to open the window to scold, but Mu Xi waved his hand at her and said softly: "You stop, Miss's heart is also very uncomfortable, don't stimulate her anymore." Those two mothers-in-law, I'll go out and drive them away quietly, and you take care of the young lady in the house. ”
Qin Songen's ear power is very good, even in the inner bed, the two maids' views on the law and the complaints of those mothers-in-law outside the house can be heard very clearly. She pursed her lips, only feeling full of anger, even when she was chased and killed by the Wei people, she didn't feel so uncomfortable, she was so incompatible with this Qin Mansion, it was rare to see that she couldn't stand a righteous attack and ended up in such a field.
At this moment, the eldest girl next to Mrs. Peony pushed the door in, and asked Qin Songen for peace, and without waiting for Qin Songen to call up, she straightened up first, and said: "Madam said, tomorrow is the second lady and Lu, there are many guests at home, and I am afraid that people will come and go and collide with the eldest lady, and now that the old lady has spoken, the eldest lady will stay in the room with peace of mind, and don't take another step out of the door." Three meals, if Aunt Zhou can't take care of it, Mrs. will also order someone to send it regularly. ”
She paused, regardless of whether Qin Songen understood the intention of her words, and continued: "Besides, the eldest lady also knows, tomorrow there will be many guests, and the people in the family will be a little uneasy, Mrs. ordered me to take Pomegranate and Muxi to the front yard tonight to help, and I will return them the morning after tomorrow." Trouble the eldest lady to settle it herself tonight. ”
In this way, it is no longer a discussion, but a direct order. When Mu Xi and Pomegranate heard this, they hung their heads and did not move, but their ears waited for Qin Songen's orders, if the eldest lady said no, the two of them would tear their faces and refute this peony.
Who knew that Qin Songen readily agreed, and instructed the second daughter: "You go with Sister Peony, everything is at her command." ”
Looking at Qin Songen's knowledge, Peony nodded with satisfaction, and said to Pomegranate and Mu Xi: "Don't go quickly!" ”
Mu Xi and Pomegranate raised their heads, but saw Qin Songen winking at them, and their eyes, which were still a little gloomy before, now revealed a bit of wisdom.
Mu Xi suddenly put her mind at ease, she pulled the sleeve of the pomegranate, and motioned to listen to Qin Songen's arrangement, which time was not the eldest lady seemed to suffer, but in the end, she taught the person who had bullied her to fall into a dog and chew.
Pomegranate couldn't help but be happy when she thought of this, and blessed Qin Songen: "Miss, take care." After saying that, the two of them followed Peony out of the door of the house.
When the peony, the wood, and the pomegranate all went out, Qin Songen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now she was the only one left in the whole room.
Aunt Zhou didn't send another housekeeper to her house to annoy her in order to show friendship with her, but she only sent one of her roommates to teach her the etiquette of the upper class of Yeguo during the day, and she also came early, left early, and did not stay in her house.
