The next afternoon, Qin Huai was holding the poetry collection of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, sitting on the stone bench and peeking at Gu Baixiu's side face. Gu Baixiu has always been a little strange these days, as if he was deliberately avoiding himself, I'm afraid he is not shy?

But does Gu Baixiu know what shyness is?

"Miss! Cao Yingying had an accident. ”

Mingyue rushed in to report the good news, disturbing Qin Huai, who was still in reverie.

She immediately sat down, cleared her throat and asked, "What happened?" ”

Mingyue did not doubt that he was there, and repeated the words she heard to Qin Huai.

"There are a few noble girls who ask Cao Yingying to swim in the lake, and Cao Yingying's boat does not overturn very much on the way, and Cao Yingying falls into the lake for a long time before being fished up. It's not a big deal, it's just ......."

"Just what?"

Qin Huai is not a person to be messed with, Cao Yingying helped Yan Xiangcheng deal with her three times and twice, she has no reason to keep swallowing her anger, so she understands some crooked brains, and it is estimated that someone has done it for her.

"It's just that after Cao Yingying was fished up, she exuded a foul smell all over her body, and it lasted for a long time. At this time, Cao Yingying has stinky sweating, but I am afraid that it has spread throughout the city. ”

"Flutter-"

Seeing Qin Huai laughing, Mingyue even suspected that the initiator of all this was his own master.

"Princess, this won't be what you expected."

Qin Huai spread his hands and said with a smile: "Otherwise, why would I let you stare at Cao Yingying's movements?" ”

In fact, Qin Huai also guessed about this matter, but he didn't expect it to be correct by mistake.

Every time Cao Yingying appeared, there was always a pungent fragrance on her body, and Qin Huai noticed several times that Cao Yingying didn't seem to like her own spices very much, so the sachets were different from those behind her.

Thinking that a person like Cao Yingying who can observe words and emotions will not be unable to see the displeasure of other noble ladies after smelling this strange fragrance, and it is not that they don't mind that the sons will stay away from her, so what will she be covering up by doing this?

This is thanks to Dong Ji's fool for reminding her, Dong Ji called Cao Yingying a stinky woman in front of her that day, and his expression was very disdainful.

At first, Qin Huai thought that Dong Ji didn't look down on Cao Yingying, so his words were rude, but after thinking about it, Qin Huai got a new inspiration.

"She is so arrogant, if she doesn't find a way to cure her, isn't this letting her go to Xunyang to harm others? I just saw that Qiu's girl was smart, so she passed on a few news, but I didn't expect to gain so soon. ”

Before leaving, the female official instructed her not to make a fuss about it, so she didn't see it in person, but there were so many noble girls who didn't want to see Cao Yingying, and Qin Huai calculated that these women would definitely give her a big gift before Cao Yingying left.

"Or princess, you are like a god, so Cao Yingying must be notorious, see how she will do evil in the future."

Mingyue was very satisfied with this result, but in addition to this good news, she thought that she also had bad news to tell Qin Huai.

"Princess...... Since that day, the official son and the Dong family have come to propose marriage, and many sons from Yunzhou have asked matchmakers to come to the door, and some even handed you and the two young ladies a marriage post......"

These people in Yunzhou know that everyone is the same, as if this is some kind of competition, if they don't participate, they always feel that they will have one less piece of meat.

When Mingyue said this, Qin Huai didn't forget to peek at Gu Baixiu's expression, and was a little disappointed after seeing his expression as usual.

"Now she is still in charge of makeup, isn't she still handling these things?"

Since Gu Baixiu didn't care, then Qin Huai naturally wouldn't care either, after all, she couldn't look down on those people.

Mingyue was a little embarrassed and touched the back of her head, "That's true, the second lady rejected all the family affairs about her, but you ignored it, and the eldest lady sent all the ones there to let her choose, but ...... They were all thrown out again. ”

Yan Makeup is deliberately trying to stimulate Yan Biyu, so they are sisters, why do you have to do things so desperately.

Qin Huai shook his head, suddenly thought of something, and gossiped: "Then Luo Nanqing has proposed marriage to Yan Xiangcheng?" ”

"This is weird, most of the men of the right age in Yunzhou have almost found matchmakers, but this Luo Gongzi has no news, and I don't know what he is thinking."

According to Luo Nanqing's love for Yan Chengcheng, it is impossible for him to watch Yan Chengcheng tie the knot with others, so the only reason why he is not in a hurry is that he is sure, and it is impossible for Yan Chengcheng to accept anyone.

It seems that this woman is not dead yet.

"What does Gu Shaoxia think about this?"

Since Gu Baixiu didn't make any moves, Qin Huai wanted to let him say a few words, so that he could test him with a side attack.

After Gu Baixiu was named, he finally moved his gaze from the book to Qin Huai's face, he thought quietly for a moment and replied seriously.

"Bai Xiu thinks that this is not necessarily a bad thing, the Yan family has become the target of public criticism at this time, and the killers of the Shura Sect are not good at acting, maybe this is a good thing for the princess."

That's what he thinks?

Is it a good thing for Qin Huai?

Yes......

"Then Gu Shaoxia said that he would marry me that day, is it a joke?"

Hearing this, Mingyue's eyes widened on the side, she missed a good show that day because of her stomach trouble, and her intestines were blue when she heard her master talk about it.

I didn't expect the master to bring up the old matter again at this time, so it was up to Gu Shaoxia to answer.

"Gu never lies, nor does he joke, that sentence is naturally true."

It's true? It's true!

These two big words wanted to smash directly on Qin Huai's head, making her whole body dizzy.

Gu Baixiu's eyes contained sincerity, but this kind of gaze was not liking, nor appreciation, in short, it was not the kind that Qin Huai wanted.

Qin Huai knows very well that if he likes a person, what kind of behavior he will have when he meets him, just like every time he sees Duan Xiaolang, just like when Yan Biyu sees Guandu, just like when the queen sees her father......

And Gu Baixiu's gaze is like ...... Yesterday's official ferry.

Guandu's expression when he came to propose marriage was not like he was in love with him at all, but as a righteous gentleman, he came to complete a mission.

Qin Huai came back to her senses after this conjecture, she only remembered how to refuse at the time, and forgot to wonder if Guandu was sincere.

I think that I can talk to him very little, and if I want to say that I fall in love just because of these few words, this is too far from Guandu's usual temperament.

And what about the woman a man like him should marry? If it is not Wen Wanshuyi, it should be a famous family, no matter how bad it is, it should bring him benefits, it will not be Bai Mingyue, a country woman who is not likable, otherwise how could he become a qualified businessman?

So what is the purpose of Guandu doing this?

At least Qin Huai can be sure now that the person who commanded Guandu will never be Yan Cheng, and he doesn't have that much ability.

"Gu Shaoxia, if you are free these days, can you help me check the details of this person, I always feel that he seems to be hiding something, and yesterday's marriage proposal may not be sincere."

Qin Huai suddenly became vigilant, hoping that Gu Baixiu could help her do this.

"Does the princess suspect that there is someone else behind him?"

Gu Baixiu didn't understand the sophistication of human feelings, and he didn't know whether Guandu was sincere, but he believed in Qin Huai's judgment as if he had never questioned Liu Yanxin.

"I hope he has nothing to do with Shuramon."

Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and lay down on his stomach, using the poetry collection of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest as a pillow.

Gu Baixiu didn't spur her to work hard, but said calmly: "In recent days, Yan Mo Gongzi seems to have been immersed in hard study, and he has almost cut off his daily morning exercises, so I will go to the official's house to have a look these days." ”

"Yan Mo broke off his morning exercise?"

Qin Huai raised his head suddenly, a little incredulous.

Isn't Yan Mo working so hard to be the next city lord of Yunzhou, why would he suddenly stop his morning exercise.

There are a lot of trivial things these days, and Qin Huai didn't care about her grandfather's entrustment, and she was a little unbelievable when she suddenly learned the news.

"In fact, with Yan Mo Gongzi's bones and arm strength, it is not suitable for practicing martial arts, if you want to strengthen your body, if you want to learn one and a half moves to kill the enemy, I am afraid it is not easy. And these days, Yan Mo Gongzi doesn't seem to be interested in practicing martial arts, what he likes is poetry and songs. ”

It was rare for Qin Huai to listen to Gu Baixiu say so many things, and he was still evaluating a man, which made Qin Huai a little unhappy.

"Poetry and songs?"

Hearing this, Mingyue grasped the point and raised her hand to answer.

"The slave maid has said a long time ago, Yan Gongzi is by no means as simple as it seems, think about the books he read when we went to look for him that day, where are the books that a serious teenager should read."

Qin Huai was still unsure, and asked, "Then do you think that Yan Mo actually doesn't want the position of this city lord?" ”

Yan Mo was brought up by his grandfather, and his grandfather must have given him high hopes, if he didn't want to be the lord of the city, his grandfather would be so sad.

Seeing Qin Huai stunned, Mingyue must change her words.

"It's hard to say, maybe he's still young and doesn't understand the pros and cons, so Old Lady Yan asked the princess to restrain him."

This also makes sense, it seems that Yan Mo can't be sloppy there.

However, Qin Huai herself is a person who does not obey control, and she has never tried to control others, which is a problem for her.

She even began to think that this was a scene that her grandfather deliberately played with Yan Mo in order to train her.

"Miss Table, Miss Table! Come and see our lady! ”

Qin Huai was stunned, and when he looked up, he saw Yuehua, the servant girl of the Qiu clan, calling her at the door, looking anxious as if he had encountered something big, which frightened Qin Huai.

"What's wrong Yuehua, what happened to your wife?"

Qin Huai let Yuehua in, patiently asked her what had happened, and asked Gu Baixiu to leave first.

Yuehua was a little anxious, but when she expressed it, she still tried her best to keep herself calm, and she was worthy of being trained by the Qiu clan.

"My wife suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain after lunch today, but after waiting for a long time, the doctor came, and the slave maid had no choice, so she came to ask Miss Biao for help."

This is the first day of Bai's lifting of the ban, so she won't do it so quickly.

"Mingyue, you go and ask the doctor, and Yuehua and I will go and have a look."
