Chapter 666: Grandma Stays (3)
"Wang ...... Childe, it's here. Outside the carriage was the husband left behind by the owl, with a straight temperament and a fast mouth, and he almost habitually called the princess, but fortunately, he immediately reflected and changed his name in time.
Qin Yining lifted the curtain of the car and joked while getting out of the car: "The title of Wang Gongzi sounds good." ”
The man blushed with shame and threw his hand at Qin Yining.
Qin Yining smiled and waved his hand, he didn't mean to blame at all, but the originally tense atmosphere was relieved a lot by Qin Yining's joke. Even the shopkeeper of Zhong Da felt that the impetuosity in his heart disappeared invisibly.
The shopkeeper Zhong Da and Jing Zhen followed behind Qin Yining, and the three of them walked to the door of Zheng Ji Buzhuang together.
The gate was closed, and only the white lanterns could be seen.
Walking along the courtyard wall on the side of the shop to the backyard, you can see the flags in the courtyard that rise above the wall and reveal a corner.
The smell of burning paper money was in the air.
In the silent alley, the woman's suppressed sobs could be faintly heard.
Qin Yining closed his eyes, his heart became heavy again, and he looked back at the shopkeeper Zhongda.
The shopkeeper of Zhong Da immediately knew that thousands of people went to knock on the door.
After the door of the backyard was knocked, the courtyard was immediately quiet for a moment, and then a footstep walked in, and an old woman's voice was raised and asked, "Who is it!" ”
"We're here to see the shopkeeper." The shopkeeper replied loudly.
The old woman said "later" and walked away.
In just a moment, the backyard door was pushed open, and the two elderly servants stood on the left and right, and then walked out a beautiful woman in the year of flower letters.
The woman was dressed in plain clothes, wearing silver ornaments and white silk flowers, and a white cloth bag around her waist, her eyes were red, and her appearance was quite delicate.
Xu saw three men standing outside the door, and the woman was stunned for a moment.
Qin Yining took a step forward and arched his hand: "You are the shopkeeper here?" ”
Qin Yining's appearance after dressing up is a young man with a feminine and handsome appearance. She deliberately lowered her voice, which was quite similar to the indistinguishable voice of a young man, and she did not bind her feet, and her demeanor was free and easy, so she couldn't see any flaws at all.
The woman seemed to be a little more guarded, and politely replied: "The slave family is the shopkeeper of the shop." It's just that something happened in the slave family, and he didn't do business these days. If there is anything wrong with this son, please come back in the future. ”
Qin Yining nodded, and when he crossed the woman's shoulder, he saw that the courtyard was white.
The woman frowned slightly in displeasure, and in line with the principle of businessmen and making money with anger, she did not reprimand Qin Yining for being rude on the spot, but said unhappily: "This son, please go back." ”
Qin Yining said softly in her original voice: "My grandmother is the Duchess of Dingguo. ”
The woman was stunned, and looked Qin Yining up and down in shock: "You ......"
Qin Yining turned around and took a delicate mahogany carved box from the stunned hand and handed it to the woman.
The woman raised her eyes suspiciously and glanced at Qin Yining, then lowered her head and opened the box.
The inside of the black velvet shop has a gold seal on it, and there is a pamphlet next to it.
This is the golden book of gold treasure when Qin Yining canonized Prince Zhongshun, just looking at the material and workmanship, it is impossible to fake.
Qin Yining said in a low voice: "The granddaughter of the Duchess of Dingguo is the princess of Zhongshun, and the shopkeeper must know it." ”
The woman came back to her senses, nodded busily, gave way sideways, invited Qin Yining and his party into the courtyard, and then cautiously closed the courtyard door.
Qin Yining looked at the mourning hall arranged in the courtyard, one of which was a black lacquered coffin, her hands and feet were cold, and she said dryly for a long time: "Is there something wrong with my grandmother?" Isn't she supposed to be in the south, how can she be in the old capital? What the hell is going on? ”
As he spoke, Qin Yining staggered towards the black lacquer coffin.
She was terrified and scared in her heart, and although she resisted, she wanted to see whether her grandmother had really passed away.
As soon as he got closer, he clearly saw that the coffin was empty.
"Princess, Old Madam Zheng hasn't died yet, but it's also dangerous."
Qin Yining hurriedly turned around, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"The little woman's name is Ma, when the old lady ordered me to come to Zheng Ji Buzhuang, she had already instructed her granddaughter to come to Buzhuang one day if she came to Buzhuang to contact, if there was anything to order, I must fully cooperate. It is also necessary to pass on information to the old lady in a timely manner.
As soon as the news came that Prince Zhongshun was the generalissimo of Pingnan and would bring his family to his post, the old lady immediately came to the old capital in person. Because I am worried that you and the prince will leave the old capital for too long, there will be some roads that you will not be able to walk away from here. That's why I came to be a pioneer in advance. ”
Qin Yining was moved when he listened.
Grandma is worried that they won't be able to go away? She clearly understood Xiao Xiao and her situation, for fear that Xiao Xiao, the person who had destroyed the Great Yan at the beginning, would not be able to eat it when he arrived at the territory of the Yan Dynasty, and this was a matter of consideration for them.
Qin Yining thought about it, and his eyes were a little moist.
Ma continued: "Originally, everything was fine, but who would have thought that the old lady had been in Buzhuang for just two days before she was caught by people outside. The envoy of Gao Dian in the yamen brought someone to arrest the old lady for no reason. The old lady and the envoy Gao Dian argued with reason, but it was really a show that met a soldier, and it was unreasonable.
"In desperation, the old lady instructed me before going out, saying that she would prepare a mourning hall here, and she had no plans to go this time, and she couldn't come back.
Qin Yining's tears fell as she listened.
Ma didn't say it carefully enough, but she understood the temper of the Duchess of Dingguo, and she could guess a thing or two.
Ma must be standing proudly in the garden, fearless and reasonable. After the argument stopped, he was proudly ready to die generously.
"Why don't you come to me in a hurry for such a big matter?" Qin Yining's voice was a little sharp.
Ma Shi waved his hand again and again, "It's not that I don't look for it, but the old lady ordered that if you don't come here in person, we will definitely not take the initiative to look for you." ”
Qin Yining closed his eyes, and his heart felt moist and cold.
Grandma didn't plan to bother her.
The shopkeeper Zhong Da also had a heavy face, and he was almost in tears.
Qin Yining gritted his teeth and said for a while: "How early or late did you catch it?" What else did the yamen say? ”
"It's been a day and a night. The yamen didn't give any explanation, only that the old lady was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason. That's how they arrested. We make money, find relationships, it doesn't work, the yamen doesn't love money this time, it seems that he wants the old lady's life with an iron heart! ”
Ma Shi couldn't cry, suddenly knelt down, hugged Qin Yining's leg and begged: "Please help, save the old lady!"
