When it arrived at a place with a lot of pedestrians, the carriage passed slowly, and finally went out of the east gate of the city, and soon entered the suburbs of Beijing.

Qin Yunshu lifted the curtain and looked at both sides, the sun had not yet come out on a cloudy day, the breeze was warm, and the fragrance of the suburbs was revealed.

She went to Jiangnan in a hurry, and she didn't have time to see Jin Yan, since her father took leave when he went to the court, all the civil and military officials knew it, and Jin Yan also knew it.

Go to worship the ancestors, come and go for at least half a month, there are mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, even if the temperature is the same as Qijing, it is cooler than here.

On the day he came back, Qi Jing had already entered autumn and was completely cool.

After a while, Qin Yunshu put down the curtain and closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the car.

At the end of the hour, the carriage stopped, and she opened her eyes.

"Shu'er."

Hearing the call, Qin Yunshu got out of the car and saw his father holding a cloth bag.

She raised her hand and took it, and there was a fork in the road in front of her, and on the hillside to the east, her mother's grave was there.

The ancestor was in the south of the Yangtze River, and the road was too far, so his father bought a piece of land and buried his mother.

The father and daughter walked hand in hand, the hill was not high, and it didn't take long to reach the top of the east mountain.

In front of a high tomb, lined with green trees, casting a large area of shade, and all the weeds around it were cleared.

This is the land that Qin Zheng bought, and there is a tomb next to it, which is empty, this is the burial place he prepared for himself.

When he returned, he was buried with his wife.

"Shu'er, how long have you not come, put incense on your mother."

After that, Qin Zheng took out three incense sticks, and then took out red candles and matches.

People who have passed away light white candles, and red candles are used for happy events, but Shu'er's mother likes bright colors, so every time Qin Zheng comes, he brings red candles.

Qin Yunshu knelt down, lit three incense sticks close to the candle flame, and then bowed respectfully.

The impression of her mother stays when she was a child, and her mother is young and beautiful in her memory, and she speaks very gently, with her eyes under the eyebrows of the willow leaves, and she seems to be able to speak.

"Mother, Shu'er and father are here. When I was seventeen years old, I got married, and he was very good, and my father must have told you about the specific situation. ”

Qin Yunshu raised his head and said slowly towards the tombstone.

She told Jinyan that when he was free, the two of them would take the sacrifice to her mother's grave together, so that her mother could take a good look at her future husband.

Unexpectedly, she came by herself.

"That kid's name is Xiao Jinyan, we came in a hurry this time, he is busy with affairs in the court, and I will bring him next time. After the lottery, there is a lot of gift money, he is better than me, and he can marry Shu'er in a beautiful way, unlike me. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Zheng sighed, Shu'er's mother had suffered with him all her life.

finally got better, but she died, leaving him with only longing and deep guilt.

In fact, he and Xiao Jinyan are very similar in some ways.

Born in a poor family, a person wandering around Qijing, all fancy the young lady of the family, according to the village proverb, the toad wants to eat swan meat.

But Xiao Jinyan is different from him, before he got married, he had climbed to a high position, and the girls in the capital were envious of his daughter.

And he, when Shu'er's mother got married, he suffered endless grievances and broke with his mother's family.

Qin Yunshu saw his father's loneliness, raised his hand and grabbed his sleeve, "It's a great happy event, you should be happy." Besides, when did your mother complain about you? ”

If you follow it, you will have no regrets for a lifetime.

"Shu'er is right, let's not talk about this, madam, in short, that Xiao Jinyan is a good boy, you must like him."

It is not easy to get Qin Zheng's words, if Xiao Jinyan is here, the sword eyebrows will definitely be raised high.

"Madam, let's talk to you about the Jiang family again, the relationship between the Qin and Jiang families has eased. Your eldest brother is very good at controlling the criminal department, and your nephew doesn't like to be an official, so he opened a cake shop with a master in the capital, and the business is very good, and he is very happy. Your mother is also in good health, and as for your niece......"

Qin Zheng paused, I am afraid that Jiang's days against snow are very bad.

"Father, you just need to tell your mother that the Jiang family is doing well now, and my grandmother often mentions me, and I have been to the Jiang Mansion many times to see her."

Qin Yunshu said with a smile, and then put on the fresh melons and fruits he brought, "Mother, after this worship, my father and I are going to Jiangnan to meet the ancestors of the Qin family." ”

The house in Jiangnan is empty, only a large room in the backyard, which displays more than a dozen tablets.

With that, Qin Yunshu got up, brushed up his sleeves and wiped them on the edge of the tombstone.

Qin Zheng lit three incense sticks, looked at his wife's tombstone, and did not make a sound, but said in his heart.

Madam, Shu'er went to Jiangnan, but I am not. I know it's not good, but I have to do it.

"Shu'er, let's go."

After speaking, Qin Zheng extinguished the red candle, cleaned up the grave, and then took his daughter down the hill.

Qin Yunshu got into the carriage, and along the way, she had no doubt and stayed at three post houses.

Ten days later, when she finally arrived in Jiangnan, Qin Yunshu got up and told Liu Yi to pack her things, and she was going to go to the next room to call her father.

The house was empty, and there was silence, except for a letter.

At this moment, Xiu Mei immediately twisted up, and she suddenly thought of her father lying to return home on the day of the emperor's wedding.

In fact, my father didn't go to Jiangnan at all, and brought her to convince the emperor, or maybe hide it.

Qin Yunshu squeezed the letter tightly, and when he opened it, he saw that there were only a few very simple sentences.

Shu'er, send you to Jiangnan alone for your father, don't leak the news.

The last few words let her hide his absence, and even created the illusion that the two went to the ancestral house in Jiangnan together.

Qin Yunshu closed her eyes, everything was hidden from her.

Although she didn't know what her father was doing, she knew that it must be an important matter, so important that he could deceive the king!

Chu Rin is not a bad person, but he is by no means a good person.

The rewards and punishments are clear, and those who have the same heart as him have all been nourished, but once they go against him, there is no way to live at all.

It's like how cruel he executed the queen's family.

"Miss, where's the master?"

Hearing Liu Yi's soft voice, Qin Yunshu immediately lit a candle and burned the letter.

"There are many people who read in Jiangnan, so he will go first."

As soon as the words fell, she had returned to normal, calm and calm, and her eyes were indifferent.

"Pack your things, let's go first."

She said as she walked out of the house, closed it and went downstairs to settle the bill, and then waited outside the post house for the Qin Mansion to come over.

But at this time, there were still two carriages from the Qin Mansion, and the difference was that there were not only small servants, but also six tall men.

It wasn't the guards she brought from the mansion, they weren't that tall.

Liu Yi didn't notice it at all, and got into the car with two burdens left and right.

"Miss Qin."

A man deliberately lowered his voice to call her, then bowed down and said, "I'll wait for the order of the marquis to protect you." ”

As soon as the word Hou Ye came out, Qin Yunshu was clear, she nodded, and got into the carriage without saying a word.

After sitting down, she was thinking, Jin Yan knew about this matter a long time ago?

Still is......
