Chapter 4: Qinu

According to the international practice that whoever gains is the murderer, Zheng, who originally wanted to enter the Zang family as a maid and a concubine, but now she is a serious housewife, is obviously the biggest suspect.

In this era when the ministers and concubines are clearly divided, the difference between being a concubine and being a wife is one heaven and one underground. If the Ruan family hadn't died at the beginning, even if the relationship with Zang Jun was not good, he would still be the master and the master. Even if the Zheng family wins Zang Jun's heart again, he is a concubine and a slave, and he is not on the family tree at all. To put it mildly, if Ruan wanted to sell her, no one could say that she wasn't.

Zheng's two sons are now sisters-in-law, if Ruan's is not dead, Zheng will start as a concubine, and the two sons will have to be called Ruan's mother, and they can only call Zheng their aunt. Hagi Niang felt that if she was Zheng and she was determined to marry Zang Jun, such a slightly risky but high-reward project was really worth trying.

But Ruan died in the Zang family's own room, Zheng Shi has not entered the door yet, can his hand be stretched out so long?

Just as he was about to ask the reason, he heard Cai Ling, who was guarding the door, shouting in panic: "Yes, there are thieves." ”

Hagi Niang was startled, and hurriedly went out with Li's mother to see what was going on.

I saw Cai Ling pointing to a black shadow under the moon flowers at the root of the Xiyuan wall, and her voice trembled a little: "Just now, the slave saw that there was a living thing moving. ”

Hagi Niang slowly walked a few steps closer, looking intently to see what was going on.

It just so happened that the moon broke through the clouds, and the courtyard suddenly brightened up a lot.

In the moonlight, a pale face could be clearly seen in the corner, covered with mud and a suspicious hint of dark red. The two big eyes seemed to have a mist in them, and they looked wet, looking like they wanted to cry with fear.

Hagi Niang breathed a sigh of relief, it was a child.

"Whose child are you, and why are you here?" Hagi asked with a smile as she bent down, trying to look amiable.

The child remained motionless and looked at her with even more hostility.

"You're not hurt, do you, but you want to come into the house and have some snacks?"

When the word "eat" was spoken, the child's eyes clearly flashed, revealing a hint of longing.

Hagi Niang understood and said with a smile: "There are sweet almond tea, freshly baked peach blossom cake, refreshing lotus leaf dew, and pine nut zongzi candy, do you want to eat?" “

The child's mouth pursed, and his expression was very struggling.

Mother Li grabbed Haginiang disapprovingly: "Girl, I don't know which family this is. Child. Swallowing the word "wild", Li's mother continued: "I don't know how to get in, the wall of the inner courtyard is so high, this child will definitely not be able to climb alone, most of them are ghosts, let's call the nursing home of the outer courtyard to come and bring people." “

"My name is Qinu, I'm very powerful, don't underestimate me." The boy finally spoke, and after speaking, his mouth was tightly pursed, stiff and stubborn. However, the voice is very immature, it doesn't sound annoying, it's very childish.

What a cute little boy.

Hagi Niang raised her eyes and looked around, only to see Cai Feng and the others coming through the corridor, and I expected that I would not be able to talk to Mother Li tonight.

"Come in, my sister will give you something delicious."

The little short legs followed suit.

"Girl, men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, it's not appropriate for you to bring this child back." Li's mother continued to chatter unrelentingly.

Hagi Niang smiled innocently and pulled Li's mother back to the house.

This kid doesn't like to talk, but he looks so cute, his eyes are bright, bright as stars, and the two little girls also like it, so they quickly fetched water to wash his face and wipe his hands. I saw that the child seemed to be thin, but his little hands were white and tender, and there were four sockets, and there was a little scratch on his pink face.

Almond tea peach blossom cake, lotus leaf dew zongzi candy full of a large table, Qinu children did not gobble up as Hagi Niang expected, but were very gentle, eating one bite at a time.

In addition to the rice dumplings, there are still a few left, and the pastry sweet dew is all eaten.

Hagi Niang looked at his stomach in disbelief, are you sure you're okay if you eat it all, are you Doraemon?

Knowing his fill of food and drink, Chinu rubbed his little belly with satisfaction, and tilted it towards the cushion on the couch, squinting in comfort.

Hagi Niang couldn't help but think of the video of the puppy dozing off and opening his eyes and falling asleep on Youku, and couldn't help touching Qinu's forehead, this child is well-behaved like a puppy.

"Mother Li, please take him to sleep, Cai Hu go get the bed quilt, and tomorrow we will find a way to find someone to send him back."

Hagi Niang went back to her room, asked Cai Ling to wait for the hairpin ring, and thought about what Li's mother said today while combing her hair.

At the beginning, the matter was caused by the change of the county guard in Danyang County, strictly speaking, because of the relocation of the capital to Jiankang, and it was impossible for this matter to be transferred by personal will, except for the emperor.

The only one who can do the tricks and feet is the candidate for the county guard, why did the Wu family, who has guarded Danyang for generations, kick out? Why is it exchanged for such an incompetent and mediocre Lord Zhang? You must know that Danyang is the closest county to Jiankang, which is very important both militarily and politically economically.

The new county guard implemented the new policy because of the master's proposal, who is the master's surname? Was it purely for the sake of enriching money, or was it sent by some force? What is the purpose?

Is the mother's dystocia depressed or is someone deliberately trying to make it bad? How can you be born so many days prematurely?

Was the encounter between Zheng and his father accidental or pre-planned? Does the Xingyang Zheng clan have any plans for Danyang County? What did the father have in his hand that they wanted?

Why did Ruan send the child away in a hurry, if it wasn't for her own order, Ren An would not dare to send the child away without authorization, just because she sent the child away, her self-hanging was naturally uninvestigated.

Hagi Niang felt that she was thinking too deeply, maybe it wasn't that complicated at all.

The next morning, that strange child, well, Chinu...... It's gone.

However, the news that Fu Jian, the commander of the Qin army, commanded 800,000 troops to go south spread outside the mansion, and people were in a panic for a while, and no one cared about the whereabouts of a child.

Hagi Niang led the maids to pack up in the West Garden in case of accidents, but the maid Cuihuan in Zheng's house hurried over, and without waiting for the report, she opened the curtain and entered the door to find Hagi Niang: "Girl, there is a rumor in the outer courtyard that someone is looking for the master, and the master is not there, so he asks to see you, saying that he must see the master of our family." ”

"Isn't Mother at home?" Hagi was puzzled.

"The mistress went to the town to buy grain, and because she said that the amount was large, she went herself." Cuihuan replied without thinking.

Well, this reason also makes sense, but Zheng's maid came to find him, and he still had to act safely.

"Mother Li, help watch the house, be careful not to miss something. Cai Ling and I will take a look, Cai Ling's legs are fast, first go to the outer courtyard to explore the situation and see what is going on. ”

The kid is getting more and more watertight. Li's mother smiled with relief and agreed.

Hagi Niang moved her steps very gracefully, and walked towards the second gate with Cai Ling at the slowest speed. After walking a few steps, he met Cai Hu, who ran back in a hurry, and replied breathlessly: "Girl, it's true, Steward Liu of the outer courtyard replied that the man was waiting in the carriage outside the corner gate, and sent a small servant to pass the word, and refused to come to the house." ”

Hagi Niang stared suspiciously at Cai Hu's eyes to see the truth of what he said, but Cai Hu had a sincere face.

This girl doesn't lie.

Who is it? If you have something important to say, you still refuse to enter the house, and it is definitely not a good thing to hide it.

After a while, Hagi Niang still took the two maids to the corner gate and looked outside, and sure enough, there was a carriage parked at the entrance of the alley, and a magnolia flower was carved on the lintel.

Familiar.

Isn't this the carriage of the "beauty" I met in Jiankang City not long ago?

Hagi Niang thought about it, ordered Cai Ling, and walked over quickly.

It was still the coachman who was so strong that it seemed that his flesh was about to burst out, he was tall and big but he loved to blush, and he said loudly: "Girl, my master invites you to get in the car." ”

The master is so mysterious, but the slave is completely opposite and very frank, which is really not like a serious master and servant.

Hagi Niang hesitated for a moment and asked, "What is the important matter of the honorable driver?" ”

The coachman smiled, "Get on the carriage quickly, no one in this world has refused the invitation of my master." ”

The people in the car coughed lightly, and the driver's face was grim, and he didn't dare to say any more.

Curiosity kills the cat, Hagi Niang tugged at the hem of her skirt and carefully slipped into the carriage.
