Chapter 38: Going to the Feast

At the beginning of the night, Qin Qing sat in the carriage heading to Gaofu, looked out the window, and saw that there were few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally there were one or two hawkers. Seeing such silence outside the car window, Qin Qing recalled that at this time in the later life, he should have had a warm dinner with his mother at home, and then the two would go for a walk in the park or go to the night market, and the loneliness still arises.

"What is the young lady thinking? Is there something bothering? Steward Yu saw Qin Qing looking out the window in a daze, looking a little lonely, and couldn't help but worry about her, this kind of expression was really not suitable for a child of her age.

Qin Qing came back to his senses, looked at Steward Yu's worried eyes, smiled to hide his sadness, and comforted him and said, "It's nothing, it's just thinking about something before I came to Qin Mansion." ”

Steward Yu thought that Qin Qing had been too tired to worry about the Qin family since Qin Zidu's death, and he felt sad when he thought of his family who was robbed and killed by the bandits, so he comforted her and said: "After so long, you should let go slowly, the young lady still has a long way to go." ”

Qin Qing knew that Steward Yu had misunderstood, but he couldn't explain it, so as not to brush off his kindness, he just nodded in response.

The carriage that was driving stopped while speaking, Qin Qing jumped out of the carriage, and saw Master Gao standing at the door, stretching his neck and looking left and right, as if he was waiting for someone. Qin Qing thought to himself in his heart: Didn't Master Gao make a special trip to give him a banquet to express his gratitude? Could it be that any other important person would come and deserve to be greeted by him on such a special trip? But when she saw Master Gao greeting her, with a sincere smile on his face, he came to her: "Young lady, Gao has been waiting for a long time." ”

He was actually waiting for him at the door! Is it because she saved Gao Yuanli? Qin Qing was a little flattered, although it was true that she saved Gao Yanli, it was also because she proposed to swim in the lake, Master Gao didn't blame, she was already snickering, how could she still be so courteous? It seems that he attaches great importance to Gao Yuanli's son!

Qin Qing was a little frightened, and hurriedly said: "Master Gao is polite, Qin Qing is not talented, how dare you go out to greet you in person." ”

"The young lady is too humble, if it weren't for the young lady to come to the rescue, the child would have died in Huangquan. The young lady is grateful for the child's life-saving grace, Gao! Master Gao invited Qin Qing in while expressing his gratitude to her.

"Master Gao, don't say that, Young Master Gao's fall into the water was also caused by Qin Qing's proposal to swim in the lake, Qin Qing's thinking was inappropriate, and he should be punished." Qin Qing blamed himself very much for Gao gradually falling into the water, and he didn't ask him if he could swim in the water, so he invited him to swim in the lake, causing him to almost die, no matter what, he had something to think about.

"Anyway, the young lady saved Xiao'er, and she is the great benefactor of our Gao Mansion! Let's go into the house and talk. When Master Gao said this, his expression on his face was very serious, without a trace of falsehood, as if he regarded Qin Qing as his life-saving benefactor.

As the two spoke, they came to a hall, and Qin Qing found that this was not the same banquet hall that he had been to the banquet last time. The banquet hall I went to last time didn't walk that much, and the banquet hall was much bigger than this. Although this banquet hall is small, the decoration inside is distinctive, although the style is different from the snow and bamboo garden where Gao gradually lived, but both are very different from the style of Gaofu.

Master Gao ordered his subordinates to put on the wine and food, not accompanied by singing and dancing when he went to the banquet on weekdays, but just gossiping with Master Gao, Qin Qing felt that this meal was very comfortable.

Master Gao was very puzzled about how Qin Qing could know Gao Wanli, so Qin Qing told the truth about the relationship he had outside Handan City, as well as the fact that he had come to Gaofu for a banquet a few days ago and got lost, but he carefully concealed the matter of He's Bi.

Speaking of Gao gradually leaving, Master Gao drank a few glasses of wine, and the words began to increase: "The mother who gradually left was already weak, and after giving birth to him, he was even more sick, and died in a few years. ”

Qin Qing is a little clear, it turns out that Gao is an only child, no wonder Master Gao attaches great importance to him, but only children are rare under the ancient polygamy system. It's just that he has so many concubines, didn't anyone give birth to a son and a half daughter for him?

"This child not only looks like his mother, but also has a similar physical condition, and has been very weak since he was a child, and when he was six years old, he was seriously ill and almost died. Fortunately, I met a master who traveled here, and by chance came to Gaofu to save his life and take him as an apprentice. In order to recuperate his body, he has been following his master, and he only has to come back once or twice a year. Master Gao seemed to have opened the conversation, and talked endlessly about the past to Qin Qing and Steward Yu.

"Presumably Master Gao has been thinking about him in the past." Qin Qing saw that Master Gao was talking about a lot, so it was inconvenient to interrupt him, so he picked up the wine and tasted it, echoing his words, just thinking that he was listening to the gossip of ancient celebrities.

"That's nature, he's my child with Xuezhu!" Master Gao talked about Gao Yanli and his mother, with a proud and gentle smile on his face, as if this mother and son were the greatest pride in his life, but then there was a trace of sadness on his face: "Maybe it's because he left me since he was a child, this child has always been not very close to me, and sometimes I wonder if if he hadn't left me at the beginning, would we be as close as other fathers and sons." ”

Master Gao seemed to be very distressed, picked up the wine, and drank it in one gulp: "But later, I saw that his health improved, not as weak as when he was a child, I was glad that he had his master to recuperate his body, if you follow me, I don't know if you can grow so big." Since I have a healthy son and he has grown so big, it no longer matters whether he is close to me. ”

When Qin Qing heard Master Gao say this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart, he really felt sorry for the hearts of his parents in the world! If Zai's mother knew that she was still alive, she must not mind whether she was living in the afterlife or BC, as long as she was healthy and safe. Because for a parent, the health and happiness of the child is far more important than whether he is by his side, although Master Gao did not personally take care of Gao Yuanli, but this does not mean that he is not a good father.

"The young lady saved Gradually, just like saving Gao! Steward Yu came to Gao's mansion a few days ago, Gao should have done his best, as long as Young Master Qin is still in Jicheng, Gao will definitely find him! ”

Qin Qing received the assurance of Master Gao at this moment, as if she had received an unexpected surprise, if she was still doubting that Master Gao was not a reliable person before, then now this doubt no longer exists. He loves his son more than himself, and because he is grateful for Gao Yuanli's life-saving grace, then he will definitely do his best to find Qin Chaoyang. With his financial resources and connections, it is much more effective than his own group of people aimlessly searching.
