Chapter 59: The Time of Parting
Looking at Qin Yunuan's carefully resting scriptures in the brocade box and wrapped in white satin, Dou Qing'e's eyes suddenly became dry, and in the end, she only pulled out a few strands of nonchalance smile: "It's bothering." ”
Needless to say, Dou Qing'e had already guessed in her heart that since the contract was wordless, this scripture must have words, and her tricks had already been dismantled by this concubine to the point that there was no one left, and she lost this battle so much that she lost her armor.
The sound of horses' hooves drove into the distance with the unwilling Dou Qing'e, knowing that the carriage was out of the alley, Qin Yunxiang in front of the mansion reluctantly withdrew her gaze, she caught a glimpse of Qin Yunuan who had been standing with her at a glance, and her heart welled up with twelve points of unhappiness, yesterday, Qin Yunuan made her lose face, a good contract became a blank piece of paper, and the original handle has now become the laughing stock of others.
Qin Yun put on a somewhat resentful look, and looked sideways at Qin Yunuan: "I heard that you are going out of the mansion later?" ”
Qin Yunuan leaned over and faced Qin Yun's makeup, she asked so bluntly, Qin Yunuan had nothing to detour: "Yesterday, my father promised to let Baochuan go to school, and today I asked me to take Baochuan to the street to buy some corresponding things, big sister, you also know, it is better to see these things in person, so as not to be moved." ”
Qin Yunxiang knew that Qin Yunuan was sarcastic about herself, but now that Qin Yunuan was in the limelight, her father drove away her mother, put her eldest brother under house arrest, and began to not treat herself, all thanks to Qin Yunuan, Qin Yunxiang glanced at her, and the maids around her retreated first.
Qin Yunxiang then lowered his voice, and said to Qin Yunnan gloomily: "I'm afraid that the third sister will take this opportunity to go out of the mansion and meet some kind of indiscriminate people, third sister, I remember, that person is called Wu Ciren, I will investigate, I will send someone to investigate." ”
It's ridiculous that she still thinks about an unwarranted name on that contract.
Qin Yunuan slowly approached, turned her head sideways, the corners of her lips almost touched Qin Yun's ears, she smiled lightly, and made a seductive tone like a shark in the depths of the sea in the dark night: "Wu Ciren, there is no such person, big sister, you had better find out something, and it is not in vain to worry about it." ”
Qin Yun's pupils suddenly dilated, Qin Yunuan looked like she had nothing to do and left with a smile, and she dug a big hole in her heart, the cool wind blew with water vapor from the newborn bamboo leaves, and the moist air hit Qin Yun's face as if it was solidified.
The maid Shen Yue was waiting quietly on the side, and suddenly heard Qin Yunxiang's somewhat gloomy voice: "Didn't that person say last night that he wanted to cooperate with us?" You go and tell her what she said, I can think about it. ”
The spring breeze in April is soaked in the laughter of the children, with a hint of joy, the apricot blossoms and sycamore flowers on both sides of the road are blooming, in the rich and fragrant sea of flowers in the capital, the business on the first floor of the capital is becoming more and more prosperous, now, almost everyone knows that the owner behind the first floor of the capital is actually a young man who is only twenty years old, not only that, the rice shop on East Street, the jewelry store of Bazimen, and the cloth village on Queer Street are all industries under the name of this boss Su.
At a young age and a big family, many people have already taken aim at the idea of this handsome young businessman, who has never shown his face, but has gone wild.
In the wing room on the second floor, Qin Yunuan watched the little maid at the door take away the famous Liu matchmaker in the east of the city, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, smiled, and looked straight at Su Chenghai who was elegantly sipping a teacup on the opposite side.
"This is the first matchmaker to visit this month?" Qin Yunuan gestured towards the window, and the carriage from which Mrs. Liu had left.
"I don't remember," Su Chenghai blew on the slightly hot tea, his handsome face looked golden under the thin but warm sunlight, he raised his head slowly, and replied noncommittally: "Why should I care about these unimportant things?" ”
This tone is quite like a person.
"If you don't worry about it, the fourth uncle will worry about it sooner or later." Qin Yunuan smiled and picked out the thorns of the perch in the small porcelain plate, while collecting Su Chenghai's expression with his residual light, "After all, you are his only son." ”
Su Chenghai's expression let out a faint "oh", and his eyes moved back to the corners of Qin Yunuan's slightly tired eyes today: "What?" Didn't rest last night? ”
Su Chenghai's eyes were full of concern, Qin Yunuan desperately wanted to find a trace of doubt in those eyes as deep as the night, such a big thing happened in the mansion last night, didn't Su Chenghai hear a little rumor? Not a little curious?
"Yes, something happened last night, I slept late, cousin, you didn't come to the birthday banquet last year, so naturally you don't know." Qin Yunuan lowered her head gloomily and continued to pick up the fish bones in the delicious sea bass.
"I wish I was there, so that you wouldn't be left alone," Su Chenghai's tone was so earnest, he looked back and saw Qin Yunuan carefully pouring a small tablespoon of mellow white and fragrant fish soup on the stingy sea bass, and subconsciously asked, "Baochuan is also coming?" ”
Qin Yunuan's elbow paused slightly, half hanging in the air, but the other hand delicately pushed over the small plate and handed it to Su Chenghai, and said with a smile: "Baochuan is accompanied by Mother Liao today to select the four treasures of the study, I'm afraid I will be busy for a while." ”
Su Chenghai looked at the tender white fish meat in the small blue and white porcelain plate in front of him, and a soft and satisfied smile appeared on his cheeks.
"I also specially ordered your cousin's favorite tea rice fruit, and I will send it later, which can be regarded as a meal for your cousin."
At the mention of the word "Yang Xing", Su Chenghai's action of picking chopsticks was obviously slowed down, and he raised his head: "I didn't want to go in such a hurry, but there are some matters in Jiangnan that are more cumbersome and need me to go in person," As he spoke, Su Chenghai's eyes suddenly skimmed to the window near the corridor, and his voice was also a little higher, "Fifteen days later, a small thatched hut in the eastern suburbs, cousin, would you like to give me a ride?" ”
Qin Yunuan nodded lightly and said, "Naturally, after fifteen days, we will not see you or disperse." ”
As soon as Qin Yunuan's words fell, the box door was violently slammed open as if it was being blown by the wind, Li Weijun was already outside the private room at some point, her face was full of smugness at this moment, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly upturned, and her pretty face looked more and more proud under a set of jade bead hairpins, she looked at Qin Yunuan with horizontal eyebrows, and her sharp voice was raised high: "Okay, you are a concubine of the Qin family, you actually shamelessly have a private meeting with a man in a restaurant." ”
Su Chenghai's wing room is extremely remote, he likes to be quiet, and deliberately chose an independent wing room facing south, the corridor outside the wing room is a dead end to the left, and the backyard is to the right, Li Weijun is definitely not passing by by accident.
Qin Yunuan was extremely calm, and even ignored Li Weijun's pungency, her body stepped back, and she just looked at Li Weijun's calf covered by the skirt with care, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I heard that Sister Li accidentally fell on her calf when she was practicing etiquette at home, and now it looks like she has healed." ”
Practicing palace rules and etiquette every day, Li Weijun is also for the princess concubine selection ceremony three months later, the eldest prince Sima Ruo and the third prince Sima Rui are empty, and it is time to choose a few ladies with excellent moral character to accompany them.
The external scenery of the Li family, the foundation has already been drained by Li Weijun's unsuccessful father, and the hopes of the family are pinned on Li Weijun, the corners of Li Weijun's mouth twitched mightily, and Qin Yunuan stepped on her forbidden area with one foot, but so what, who can catch whom's handle now, not necessarily.
"How can such a trivial matter as my fall and injury be compared to such a major event as Sister Qin's private meeting with a man?" Li Weijun pushed Qin Yunuan away, went straight into the room, and quickly lifted the bead curtains and curtains covering the inner hall, looked at the empty seat in the window and couldn't help but be stunned, and his words became more and more pungent, "What about that person?" What about the man? I heard you talking. ”
Li Weijun simply searched every inch of the room with his feet, not to mention the big man, and he didn't even find half a figure.
Qin Yunuan has been watching patiently, this elegant seat is remote and quiet, even if Li Weijun yells, it does not attract any onlookers.
"Sister Li has seen enough?" Qin Yunuan's tone was sarcastic, "Sister Li started shouting before she entered the house, one by one, one by one, but now you have found the man you said had a private meeting with Yunuan?" ”
Li Weijun turned his head hatefully and pointed towards the two porcelain plates on the table: "If there is no one else, why do you prepare two pairs of dishes and chopsticks by yourself?" ”
Qin Yunuan said lightly: "Baochuan will come over later, I'll be my sister and prepare it for him first, what's the matter?" No way? Qin Yunuan raised the tone of the word "no", Li Weijun's face suddenly turned from red to white, she quickly scanned the room at a glance again, and still didn't find anything wrong.
Xiao Er, who came from outside the door, finally found Li Weijun in the house, just nodded and said: "Yo, this girl in the next room, why did you come here, this dish is all ready, and the young master who came with you is urging you." ”
In vain, Li Weijun stared at Qin Yunuan viciously, shook his head fiercely, and put down the last cruel sentence before leaving: "Since you have done it, it will leave traces and evidence, Qin Yunuan, you wait." ”
Qin Yunuan only blessed her body slightly, and laughed softly: "Okay, I'll wait." ”
Li Weijun returned to his own wing room a few steps away, and the round pear wood table in the center of the room was already lined with various dishes, a cup of baked bighead carp head in sauce, a cup of steamed eggs with bean curd, a plate of braised lion's head, a plate of cauliflower with tomato sauce, and finally a small plate of cold cucumber with golden needle, with soup and water.
Li Jiaxuan at the table had obviously been waiting for a long time, and when he saw that Li Weijun finally came back, he said in a somewhat disgusted tone: "Obviously, you came out to grab medicine for your mother, but you just came to the first floor to eat halfway, and you ordered a lot of dishes, and people don't know where to go." ”
"Where else can I go," Li Weijun sat down angrily, picking at the fish and meat with chopsticks, "It's not that I went to see my brother, you are a 'good woman' Miss Qin Jiashu." ”
