"Girl! Oh no! ”

There was a rush of footsteps in the courtyard, and Qin Yining, who was dressing up in the attic, frowned slightly, and held a jade bead earring in his hand that he didn't have time to wear, so he got up and put up the lattice window to look downstairs.

"What's the matter? Shouting and screaming. ”

A little girl stood in front of the door with a flushed face, panting with her hands on her knees, looking up at Qin Yining, panting and intermittently: "Xi Huacheng is lost, it is said that the little prince has killed a lot, a lot of people, and he also chopped off the head, hung it on the high pole, and inserted it on the city gate building to show the people, now, the whole thing outside is in chaos, all the people are running away, the little prince is going to kill in, we, our heads, have to be chopped off and hung on the pole to show the public!" ”

The little girl spoke, and sat down on the threshold with no strength, crying in horror.

The faces of everyone in the courtyard changed, and the maid and maid were crying in fear.

Qin Yining slowly closed the window, sat back in front of the dressing table, looked at his face in the bronze mirror and didn't speak for a long time.

Has it finally come to this day?

Although there had been speculation about this for a long time, when the real thing came, Qin Yining still had a sense of unreality, his heart was hanging high, and he felt empty.

Bingtang and Songlan were already pale.

Qiu Lu trembled even more, and half a bowl of tea was shaken out of the tea in her hand.

Only Jiyun was still calm, took the jade bead earring in Qin Yining's hand and put it on for her, and took a white jade hairpin of an orchid to wear in her hair, and then hesitated and said: "Girl, the prince ...... him"

Qin Yining smiled bitterly, gently waved his hand to interrupt Jiyun's words, and said faintly: "I know, it's not his fault, this is war, it's not child's play, even Dayan's soldiers have the opportunity to rush into the Great Zhou, and they will do it, it's not someone's fault, it's the fault of the war, I just think, when will such a day be the end." ”

Jiyun lowered his head when he heard this, his heart was moved and sour, the mountains and rivers will be broken, this kind of hesitation and helplessness will not feel good to anyone, it is rare that although her girl is sad, she can treat this matter rationally and calmly.

Songlan's voice trembled and said, "Girl, what should we do?" ”

"We don't have much to do, we can only take one step at a time." Qin Yining stood up, took a few deep breaths to force himself to cheer up, and said, "Go to Xingning Garden first, it's almost time to get to work." No matter how chaotic it is outside, life still has to be lived. ”

"Yes." The maidservants saw that Qin Yining was not panicked, and they were able to calm down a little.

On the way to Xingning Garden, all the servants and maids he saw looked like they were in limbo, like mourning.

If this is still the case in the Anping Marquis' Mansion, it is already conceivable what it will be like on the street.

As usual, I listened to the mother-in-law, dealt with some family affairs, and sent and received pairs of cards.

Qin Yining saw that a few mothers-in-law were hesitant, as if they had something to say, and they had already guessed seven or eight points in their hearts.

"Mother Li, Mother Fang, what do you have to say?"

Seeing Qin Yining ask, all the housekeepers, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law stopped leaving.

Mother Li and Mother Fang hesitated and stepped forward to salute.

Mother Li's temperament is more gentle and gentle, and Mother Fang is a more powerful one, so she immediately laughed and said: "The girl really knows that the slave does have some things, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Qin Yining smiled: "Mother Fang, but it's okay to say it. ”

Fang's mother said: "That's the case, I have a nephew in the south, the business has developed in the past two years, and I want to take our family over to develop, and it is set to leave in the next few days, I am on a mission in front of the house, and I am worried that it will not be good to leave temporarily, and I want to reunite with my nephew in the south, so I am a little hesitant." ”

When Qin Yining heard this, he nodded understandingly.

The maids and daughters in the house were cautious to peek at Qin Yining's expression.

Qin Yining's plain white fingers gently rubbed the edge of the bowl, and said for a while: "Mother Fang is the old mother who serves in the house, and she has done her best for the Qin family. ”

Fang's mother was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly put the pair of cards she had just received back on the Fang table in Qin Yining's hand, and turned around to leave.

Qin Yining looked at Mother Fang's figure, raised her beautiful eyes, and looked at the rest of the housekeepers.

Many people subconsciously opened their eyes and didn't dare to look at Qin Yining.

"What about you? Do you have any other arrangements at home that you would like to resign now? ”

When Li's mother heard this, she also said hesitantly: "Girl, I, my daughter and son-in-law are also in the south, and they also want to take me to care for the elderly." ”

"Hmm. Mother Li is also old, and it is indeed time for her to be raised. ”

Seeing Qin Yining say this, everyone felt that there was a drama, and four or five people stood up at once, and they all replied that there was something at home, and they couldn't continue to be on an errand, and those who sold themselves hoped to redeem their bodies and release the deed, and those who defected also hoped to leave.

The faces of the four people beside Qin Yining, Bingtang, Songlan, Qiulu and Jiyun all became extremely ugly.

What's going on at home? Seeing that the situation was not good, these people planned to roll up and run away!

On weekdays, the Qin family treats them well, but when they are in danger, they don't even think about the benefits of their masters, they just want to run for their lives alone!

Qin Yining was extraordinarily peaceful, bowing his head slightly: "Since this is the case, I also know it in my heart." Today, while it's still early, it's better to do it like this. ”

Qin Yining stood up and ordered: "Immediately call all the servants and maids in the inner house to gather in the large open space in front of the back garden, and say that I have something to say." ”

The housekeepers and grandmothers should have rushed out immediately.

Qin Yining told Songlan again: "You go to the outer courtyard to see if my father is at home, if he is here, invite my father to come, if he is not there, the second uncle, the third uncle or the lobby brother, the second cousin, whoever is there will be called." ”

"Yes."

Songlan also ran out quickly.

As soon as the people dispersed, the bright flower hall immediately fell silent, leaving only Qin Yining and the three maidservants.

Sun, who had been listening to it for a long time, finally couldn't hold it back, walked out quickly, took Qin Yining's hand and said, "Sister Yi'er, how can this be good?" Da Zhou occupied Xihua City, I think these housekeepers are going to pick and choose not to do it, as soon as they leave, our big family ......"

Qin Yining patted Sun's arm comfortingly, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't panic, you can't force your head if you don't eat water, right?" Today, I just took this opportunity to explain that the situation is tense now, and it is not conducive to our family if there are too many people, so it is a good thing to streamline it. ”

Hearing this, Sun finally nodded.

After a while, the news was heard by all parties.

Originally, Qin Yining wanted to give orders alone, but at this moment, all the masters of the old lady, the second room, and the third room gathered in the spacious open space in the back garden. The maids and women in the whole inner house, even the little girl who didn't keep her head have arrived.
