Six hundred and seventy, poor?
Qiu Taishou went directly out of the city gate to greet Qin Fengyi and his party.
Looking at his lean and short appearance, Zhou Yunxi and the others had some difficulty connecting him with corruption. After all, just looking at his appearance, Qiu Taishou's appearance can be described as thin and weak as a middle-aged man from a poor family.
Others are overworked and can't eat enough, but Qiu Taishou-
It must be caused by excessive indulgence.
"I don't know that the prince and the princess came to this city, and they missed the welcome, and I asked the prince and the princess to forgive their sins." Qiu Taishou came up with a happy appearance, although he was thin, but he could give people a sense of kindness, "I heard that the prince was missing, and we were quite worried, and only the princess was out of Beijing alone, so I became more and more worried in my heart." β
"Seeing that the prince and the princess are safe and sound today, my heart is completely at peace." Saying that, Qiu Taishou breathed a long sigh of relief, "I also invite the prince and the princess to enter the city, knowing that the two of you will pass by here, so I will pack up the mansion in advance, and please don't think that the mansion is too shabby, stay for a few days, and have the right to rest." β
"Lord Qiu is kind, we will not refuse."
Qin Fengyi only nodded slightly, but a fierce color flashed in his eyes.
They didn't inform Qiu Taishou in advance about their entry into the city. Now Qiu Taishou not only knows, but also welcomes them out of the city to invite them to live in the Taishou Mansion, so it seems that Qiu Taishou must have arranged everything, and he is not afraid of them to check at all.
However, the guard who was sent into the city before, dressed as a woman, had already delivered the news that he had infiltrated the Taishou Mansion.
"Shizi, please."
Qiu Taishou didn't know what Qin Fengyi was thinking, and because he had always had such an indifferent look in the rumors when he heard Qin Fengyi's words, he couldn't figure out Qin Fengyi's thoughts more and more.
So at this time, Qiu Taishou's attention was on Zhou Yunxi.
In his opinion, even if a woman can be heavy, even if she can run a lot of shops without losing money, she is just a woman.
Since she is a woman, she can naturally be easily handled by men. Thinking like this, Qiu Taishou's eyes became more and more disdainful when he looked at Zhou Yunxi.
"The princess of this world has made up flowers?" Zhou Yunxi naturally felt that Qiu Taishou was looking at her, and according to her temperament, she would never put up with it, "Maybe I am in a hurry today, and I haven't paid attention to some places." β
"The princess misunderstood, but the princess is very similar to an old man of mine, so I took a second look and asked the princess to forgive me." Qiu Taishou politely bowed his hand after listening to Zhou Yunxi's words, "Qiu has apologized to you." β
Seeing this, Zhou Yunxi didn't want to say anything more. She only nodded slightly, and the matter was revealed.
But Qiu Taishou's eyes darkened.
He thought that Zhou Yunxi would not say anything even if he felt unwell, but he forgot that none of the noble ladies who came out of the capital had a good temperament.
However, after looking at it just now, Qiu Taishou also felt that Zhou Yunxi's appearance was indeed a little more gorgeous than all the women he had seen. Thinking that his fat-headed and big-eared nephew looked at Zhou Yunxi before, and wanted to stun people and do such things as turning the clouds and rain, Qiu Taishou's heart was also a little nervous.
Fortunately, knowing the identities of the two was not something he could make up his mind, so Qiu Taishou also stopped thinking about it. Now, Qiu Taishou just wants to hide the pickled things in the house.
Otherwise...... Latest
Although Qin Fengyi's temperament is very cold, if he knows those things, he will not let him go easily. At that time, the official position is not guaranteed, and the matter is small, but I am afraid that my life will be gone.
Thinking of this, Qiu Taishou was a little dissatisfied with his nephew. If it weren't for the fact that Qin Fengyi and his party were staring at him, how would he spend all this thought today?
By the footsteps, they would only pass by the city in a hurry, and would never stop. Where do you need to be so careful?
The more he thought about it, the more angry Qiu Taishou became.
But in front of Qin Fengyi and others, he didn't dare to show half a point.
As a result, Qiu Taishou's heart became more and more irritable and depressed, and he couldn't wait to bring his nephew with dog eyes over and beat him hard!
"The Taishou Mansion is so dilapidated, why didn't Lord Qiu ask the imperial court to allocate silver taels to build it?" Zhou Yunxi and the others stopped in front of the Taishou Mansion, looking at the dusty and hurriedly cleaned the door of the mansion in front of them, Zhou Yunxi was stunned, "What is the city Taishou, how can it be so ......?"
Zhou Yunxi's words made Qiu Taishou wipe the sweat from his forehead, and the look on his face was quite embarrassed. This appearance really looks like that.
"This, some time ago, Dachu went to war with its neighbors, and the treasury must support the war, compared to the major affairs of the family and the country, how can you disturb the emperor at that time?"
"Moreover, the people in the city are not living well, the harvest has not been good in the past few years, my nephew is also a can't understand and ignorant, and my brother doesn't have much money left, and he has been squandering, and he has lost the reputation of a gentleman, if it weren't for the people who knew that Qiu was shy, I was afraid that they would think that Qiu was protective, so I let my nephewββ"
As he spoke, Qiu Taishou sighed, his brows furrowed, and his face was full of sadness.
"Let the prince and the princess laugh."
These words made Zhou Yunxi hook his lips slightly and looked at Qin Fengyi.
They didn't believe a word of Qiu Taishou's words, after all, they had already inquired about the news before, and their people would not lie to them.
However, looking at the faintly old gate in front of them, Zhou Yunxi and Qin Fengyi still knew that this absurd Qiu Taishou did have some skills.
Also, if you don't have the ability and confidence to hide from the world, how can you have the courage to do such evil in the city? robbed the people's daughters, killed the whole family, and even though his son and nephew did the same together, Qiu Taishou did these things blatantly, and he did not hide them in the city.
"Your Excellency, you're back!" At this time, a man with white temples hurriedly walked out of the Taishou Mansion, looking at his dress, he was probably the housekeeper of the Taishou Mansion, "Young Master, he ......"
"What's wrong?" Qiu Taishou's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and the blood on his face suddenly faded, pale as paper, "Isn't it sick again?" Didn't the doctor say that there would be no big problem if you had a good life?! β
"It was windy last night, the window of the young master's room was blown off, the young master's body was already weak, and the wind blew all night, and the high fever did not go away this morning, at this time, the body was not hot, the old disease, the old disease recurred!"
"Your Excellency!"
Before the housekeeper's words fell, Qiu Taishou's body went weak and fell directly to the ground. Seeing this, the housekeeper immediately panicked, for fear that Qiu Taishou would really fall to the ground.
However, the housekeeper took a step, and Qiu Taishou was helped.
At a fixed glance, it was Qin Yi who had been following Zhou Yunxi and Qin Fengyi.
