Chapter 53: Catching the Wind and Washing the Dust
"Zheng Zixiao? Very nice name. Qin Qing looked at the somewhat cowardly orphan girl Zheng Zixiao in front of him, and said in his heart: This orphan girl has beautiful facial features, but she has some yellow muscles and thin muscles, just like herself who just crossed over, and she knows that she has been malnourished for a long time at a glance. She has big bright eyes, but at this time, those eyes are full of uneasiness, and there is confusion about the future, which makes people can't help but feel pity.
Well, such a little girl shouldn't be any threat. Qin Qing sighed in his heart, comforted himself, and then said to Zheng Zixiao with a straight face: "You just stay for the time being, there is just one thing you have to remember, do your part well, don't inquire about other things!" If you make a mistake, even if Xiu'er intercedes, I will still drive you away! ”
When Zheng Zixiao heard that Qin Qingken took her in, she hurriedly replied, "Thank you, young lady, Zixiao will definitely remember the young lady's instructions." ”
"Xiu'er, you take Zixiao down, I still have something to talk to Uncle Yu." Although Qin Qing left her, she was forced to be helpless by Xiu'er, since she told her hometown where she was, she had to send someone to investigate to feel at ease.
Xiu'er also knew that her previous willfulness made Qin Qing very embarrassed, and when she heard her instructions at this moment, she knew that she must have something important to tell Steward Yu, so she quickly pulled Zixiao to close the door and go out.
"The young lady is still too soft-hearted." Seeing that Qin Qing had finally decided to keep Zheng Zixiao, Steward Yu shook his head in disapproval.
"Uncle Yu, Qing'er can ignore Zheng Zixiao's life or death, but she can't ignore Xiu'er, if Xiu'er really insists on leaving, how can we care about sending someone to protect her safety now." Qin Qing explained: "A Zheng Zixiao, let people keep an eye on her first, and send someone to investigate her in Xinzheng's hometown." ”
Steward Yu was also deeply helpless about the trouble caused by Xiu'er, and sighed heavily: "It was Yu's negligence in discipline on weekdays that made this girl so presumptuous and caused trouble for the young lady." Since the orphan girl had been left behind, Yu immediately sent someone to check her details. ”
Steward Yu was about to go out after speaking, but was stopped by Qin Qing again: "Uncle Yu, it's getting late, it's not too late to do this tomorrow." Mrs. Zhao's mother and son have arrived in Xianyang, so let's arrange how to pick up the wind and wash the dust for them tonight."
"Then Yu will go and ask Shi Wei to arrange this matter." Steward Yu said. Exit the room. The shopkeeper of the stone is named Shi Wei, and his father was also a business traveler, but he came to the Qin Mansion as a guest in the middle of the family. Qin Qing saw that he was keen on business and was very safe in doing things, so he was ready to let him help manage the Qin family's business. But later decided to stay in Xianyang, so he changed his mind and asked him to come forward to buy the Yunlai Inn, and even made him the shopkeeper and the apparent boss.
The identity of Zhao Ji's mother and son is special, and the more people who know, the more dangerous it is. Therefore, everyone only knows that the young lady sent someone to pick up a pair of unidentified beautiful mother and son from Zhao State, but the specific identities of the mother and son are not very clear. Although they are all curious, as a doorman, their duty is to share the worries of the master's family, and no one will ask more questions if they shouldn't ask. And Shi Weishi, the shopkeeper, is one of the few people who knows the identity of Zhao Ji's mother and son.
After Shi Wei received the instructions of Steward Yu, considering the special identity of the two, he let them live in the innermost room upstairs of the inn. And let the person who knows their identity live next door to keep them safe. The reception banquet was also set up in an empty room on the second floor.
When Qin Qing walked into the room where the wind reception banquet was held, Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng were already sitting inside waiting for her. Qin Qing hurriedly sat down and said slightly apologetically: "Qin Qing is late, I'm really sorry." ”
"Young lady is polite, it has been many years since you promised to take my mother and son back to Qin, but you have not forgotten to fulfill your promise, it is too late for our mother and son to thank you, how dare you blame." The beauty Zhao Ji didn't mind her being late, and smiled lightly at the corners of her lips, which made the candlelight in the room look a little dim.
Qin Qing heard another meaning from Zhao Ji's words. Back then, she not only promised to take them back to Qin, but also promised that Zhao Zheng would sit on the throne of Qin, and Zhao Ji reminded her in her voice not to forget this matter. I haven't seen her for a few years, but this Zhao Ji not only feels that her external temperament has changed, but she also has a lot more scheming.
Since Qin Qing knew the deep meaning of her words, he comforted him: "Qin Qing naturally doesn't dare to forget the promise he made to his wife. Zhao Ji put her mind at ease and smiled at Qin Qing, the two seemed to have a tacit understanding.
Qin Qing, as the host, naturally can't let the guests feel that the banquet is too boring, but fortunately, she and Zhao Ji are both women (she is already thirty years old, she should be regarded as a woman), and Zhao Ji is a woman who loves beauty very much, and these women naturally have a common topic - clothing. Zhao Ji liked the phoenix hairpin that Qin Qing gave her last time, and when she heard that it was designed by her, she looked at her even more differently. Qin Qing also talked about the interesting things he had encountered when he was doing business all over the years, and the two had a good conversation.
When Zhao Ji saw Qin Qing again, her attitude was more polite, and she was less arrogant than she was five years ago. may be because Qin Qing really asked people to bring out their mother and son from Zhao Kingdom, and they were seven points grateful, plus three points not to underestimate her strength. During the banquet, the guests and hosts were happy, except that Zhao Zheng ignored her. Even Qin Qing asked him how he had lived in the past few years, but he only said "um", and he looked like he was ignoring, as if he was angry that Qin Qing didn't recognize him yesterday.
Qin Qing saw Zhao Zheng putting on a stinky face, and felt that he was very wronged. How can she blame her, when she first met Zhao Zheng, he was just a beautiful and lovely Zhengtai with delicate facial features. was bullied, but he just secretly endured it, which made people feel pity when he saw it. Looking at it now, although his facial features have not changed much, he is a head taller than her, and his skin is also a healthy tan. Coupled with the superb martial arts he displayed in the bazaar in the afternoon, and the ruthlessness when the long sword in his hand was aimed at the enemy, it was impossible for anyone to associate him with the helpless Zhengtai back then.
But these complaints, Qin Qing naturally didn't dare to say it. Who is Zhao Zheng? He's the future First Emperor! The emperor said that you were wrong, is it useful for you to shout wronged? Qin Qing saw that he was angry, and felt that it was not a good time to explain, so he had to wait for him to be angry before explaining to him.
At the end of the dinner, Zhao Ji said goodbye to Qin Qing and prepared to go back to the room to rest. Qin Qing hurriedly spoke up and left Zhao Ji: "Mrs. Zhao, Qin Qing has something to talk to Mrs. alone, can you ask Mrs. to move to Qin Qing's room?" ”
Zhao Ji knew that Qin Qing was looking for her, and he must have talked about another promise he made back then, so he bowed slightly, and his lips opened lightly: "There is Mrs. Lao Shao to lead the way." ”
