Chapter 16: Cutting through the black
Qin Shi leaned on the soft couch, his face was a little pale, but he was still busy with needlework in his hands.
The door curtain was opened, and Shen Yunjie came in from outside the house with the squire, and when she saw that the Qin family was uncomfortable but still busy, she was suddenly a little angry.
A few steps forward, snatching the needle and thread from Qin's hand, Shen Yunjie glared at her and said, "Since my aunt is unwell, she should rest well, where is this needlework for you?" ”
"Don't worry, girl, I'm not okay to stay, and I'm idle when I'm idle?" In terms of food and clothing, the mother and daughter have never had a shortage, but the Qin family always felt uneasy in his heart, so he insisted on making needlework and asked his subordinates to take it out for money.
"It's noon, why didn't the girl go to Madame's?" Reaching out and grabbing Shen Yunjie and letting her sit beside her, the Qin family asked gently.
"Madame knows that my aunt is not feeling well these days, so let me accompany you more." Taking the porcelain bowl from the tray held by the waiter, Shen Yunjie handed it to Qin, "This is the medicine I specially entrusted Dr. Xu to prescribe, saying that after taking a few pairs, it won't hurt." ”
"It's good to endure it, why should the girl spend more money." Having said that, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows revealed joy, and she took the porcelain bowl and drank the medicinal soup inside.
"It's also Madame's kindness, otherwise where can you keep me in front of you?" After drinking the medicine, she sighed. "I heard that the courtyard sent a letter to Sanfang, asking him to prepare for the master's whole life, this matter should have been said by Mrs., where is she needed?"
"Why should my aunt worry about this? Now that the sixth sister is back, let's see what it will look like in the future. ”
Shen Yunjie knows very well that she is just a concubine, and she and her aunt often have grievances with their wives, even if they can't help anything, at least they don't mess up with their wives.
Qin nodded with a smile, looked at Shen Yunjie's face, and reached out to touch the needlework.
Shen Yunjie raised her hand and patted it, took the needle and thread by herself, and embroidered it carefully with what the Qin family had not finished.
Leaning on the soft pillow, the Qin clan became more and more satisfied.
——
"Drive! Drive! "A few fast horses are chasing me on the official road, and the leader is a young man, looking fifteen or sixteen years old, and most of the people who are following him are of the same age.
After ......rushing through a tree, the young man at the head pulled the reins and stopped the horse, and he turned the horse's head and looked behind him, only to see that the two horses were chasing after him.
"Uncle Huang, Mingjing, it's up to you!" Greeting the two of them, he shook the short whip in his hand, and after a while, the young man who was called Mingjing was the first to arrive beside him, followed by the imperial uncle.
After that, several more horses came after him.
"Uncle Huang, that horse of yours is a royal horse, why can't you outrun Mingjing?" Looking at his imperial uncle with a smile, Second Highness Xiao Jing teased.
"His horse is said to be a wild horse found in the mountains, which is unusual." A pair of peach blossom eyes looked at Pei Mingjing's horse, although he was an imperial uncle, Xiao Jin was not much older than a few teenagers.
"Mingjing, is what the prince said true?" Cui Mingxuan urged the horse to come to Pei Mingjing's approach, and reached out to touch his horse.
The horse snorted, his head shook, and he moved the horse's hooves and pinned his head to the side, making Cui Mingxuan feel empty.
Suddenly, the teenagers laughed.
"Mingjing, you horse is a temperamental." Second Highness Xiao Jing rode on a horse, pointed at Pei Mingjing's horse with the short whip in his hand, and said with a smile.
"Brother Mingxuan, it's not strange, the temperament of stepping on the snow is like this, it really took me a lot of effort to tame it at the beginning, and I lay down for half a month."
Clenching his fists at Cui Mingxuan, Pei Mingjing explained that as soon as he heard that he had been lying for half a month, the teenagers suddenly became curious.
"It's been almost a month, it's been almost a month. This snow-stepping temperament is really strange, it is clear that my cousin has tamed it, and it has to deliberately throw him, if it is not for Mingjing repeatedly saying it, my grandmother must have sent someone to slaughter it. ”
Dou Siqian smiled and spoke, his grandmother was the eldest princess of the dynasty and Pei Mingjing's maternal grandmother.
When the eldest princess married the Dou family, the youngest daughter married into the Pei Guo Mansion, so Dou Siqian and Pei Mingjing were cousins.
If you talk about it, the second highness Xiao Jingtong is also related to the two, and he still has to call the eldest princess to say his aunt and grandmother!
"Uncle Huang, do you want me to say let's go back to Shangdu directly? Calculating the footsteps is more than half a day. ”
Several teenagers did not travel alone, and there was a huge team behind them, which was the Luan driver of the official family's return to Shangdu.
"I'm successful, it's a big deal to be scolded by the imperial brother. But you are careful to punish in your house. Xiao Jin said this, and several teenagers looked at each other.
"Well, Your Highness, otherwise we'd better wait here." The first to speak was Cui Mingxuan, the Cui family's family style has always been strict, and he is the eldest son and eldest grandson, so he doesn't dare to make a mistake.
"Hey, Mingxuan, are you afraid ......" Dou Siqian opened his mouth, and before he finished speaking, he felt that he had been kicked by someone, and immediately stopped talking.
"Cousin, don't blame, I didn't step on my feet just now." It was no one else who kicked him, it was Pei Mingjing, and at this moment, his feet were firmly in the stirrups.
had the heart to speak again, looking at Pei Mingjing who was unapologetic on his face, Dou Siqian felt that it was better for him not to speak again, so he completely shut up.
Seeing that there was no one to respond, Second Highness Xiao Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, after saying that, he regretted it.
With his father to the Eastern Capital, in addition to him, there is also the crown prince.
At present, the large army is behind, if he takes people back to Shangdu first, he may have to see how many books he will have to participate in at that time.
But the words have already been spoken, and it is too late to change it, but fortunately, Cui Ming is far from responding, and Dou Siqian's words were also interrupted by Mingjing.
As for the emperor's uncle, it doesn't matter if he can't go back, it's not so much that he is the youngest brother of his father, but that he is the eldest son of his father, who has grown up under his father's nose since he was a child, and I don't know how many big and small disasters he has had over the years.
So, several teenagers dismounted and waited for the team behind to catch up.
Dou Siqian took advantage of the convenience of going to the woods, and dragged Pei Mingjing into the woods together, "What did you kick me just now?" ”
He was sure that Pei Mingjing did it on purpose.
"If you agree, it will be difficult for His Royal Highness to ride a tiger at that time. The official family did not return, and he took someone back early, what happened? ”
"Yes, it's up to you to remind me." Dou Siqian nodded, and ran under a tree to make it convenient, Pei Mingjing was dragged out, so he stood aside and waited for him.
Suddenly, Pei Mingjing's ears moved, and then, a strong wind came from the back of his head, Pei Mingjing didn't move, and sure enough, when the fist reached the back of his head, he stopped.
"Why don't you hide?" The tone is a bit cowardly, and you don't have to guess to know that it is Xiao Jin.
"If the prince really wanted to hurt me, he wouldn't have stepped on the branch just now." Turning around and clasping his fists at Xiao Jin, Pei Mingjing knew that this prince just didn't look out of tune, but the inside was cut black.
I don't know if it was because he kicked Dou Siqian, so he was targeted.
