Chapter 205: Unspeakable
Chapter 205 cannot be said
The four women rushed in, and Xun Qingran was about to take a closer look, when she saw Mama Song standing at the door waiting, but she hugged the woman who walked at the end and cried bitterly.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Mama Song.
Xun Qingran was surprised in her heart, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Qi You. Qi You was drinking tea with his head down, as if he hadn't noticed the situation outside. A breeze blew, the lights and shadows swayed, and Qi Yu's expression could not be seen clearly.
Qi You and Xun Qingran didn't speak, and the cries of Mama Song and the woman could be heard inside and outside the house.
Xun Qingran frowned, and her gaze swept over the three women in front of her. These three women are dressed differently, but they are all young and jade, fat and thin, and quite beautiful.
Xun Qingran called Mama Xu, "It's late tonight, Mama will take these people down to settle down first." ”
Mama Xu agreed, "Grandma, the Songtao Courtyard in the north is empty, how about placing it there first?" ”
Shoto-in, in the immediate north of the house, is quite far away from the main courtyard, and next to it is the residence of the people in the house.
Xun Qingran glanced at Mama Xu and nodded approvingly, Mama Xu really understood her mind and knew very well how to deal with such a scene.
"Just follow Mama. There, Mama needs to take care of it more. ”
"Grandma rest assured." Mama Xu replied, and led the three women out first.
Mama Xu took the people away, and Mama Song stopped crying and pulled the woman forward to salute.
Xun Qingran couldn't help but look carefully, this girl was of medium stature, wearing a burlap dress, with no decoration all over her body, and her hair was only held by a hairpin. The face is quite pretty, with a duck egg face, a high nose bridge, a pair of big eyes with tears, looking pitiful, and the slightly raised eyebrows make her look a little stubborn.
“…… She is the niece of the slave, and her name is Nuhao, and she is the only blood and bone of my sister. After being separated for all these years, I finally have eyes in the sky and meet today. Mama Song's eyes were full of tears, she was a little emotional, and she held the girl's hand, as if she was holding a baby.
It turned out to be Mama Song's niece.
"Grandma doesn't know, the slave is in the house, the slave's sister once took her to see the slave, and the fourth master also saw it when he was a child, but I'm afraid I don't remember." Mama Song said again.
is not only Mama Song's niece, but also has a bit of incense with Qi You.
"Mama has found a lost relative, this is a happy event, don't cry." Xun Qing said, and beckoned the girl to come forward, "Come over and let me take a good look." ”
The woman hesitated, the corners of her skirt swayed, she took two steps forward, and when she arrived in front of Xun Qingran, she bent her knees and blessed her.
The demeanor is dignified and generous, and the blessing is even more ruled, even if Mama Xu is present, I am afraid I can't pick out the slightest bit of badness. It's just that the skin on the face is slightly dark and slightly rough, but the exposed neck is white and delicate.
Xun Qingran stood up with a smile and took the woman's hand.
The palms are rough, but there are no calluses left by needlework.
"Is it called a good woman? What's the last name? ”
"Surname, surname, surname."
"Good name." Xun Qingran said with a smile.
The Xin woman was so generous, looked back at Xun Qingran, and then seemed to realize such a discordant identity, lowered her head slightly, but still scanned Xun Qingran with the corner of her eye.
"I have to ask for the grace of the fourth master and grandma." Mama Song bowed and said.
Xun Qingran returned to his seat and asked Qi You's opinion, "Fourth master? ”
Qi You put down the teacup and only said, "Good student placement." So he got up and went to the bathroom.
Xun Qingran thought about it for a while, and said; "The good woman must be tired. Mama first took the good woman and the good girl down to rest. You have been separated for a long time, and you must have a lot to say, so rest at Mama's first, and make arrangements tomorrow. ”
Mama Song hurriedly agreed, and then she and Xin Nuhao said goodbye and left.
Mama Xu came in from the outside and walked opposite the two of them, Mama Xu stepped aside, and waited for the two to leave before entering the house.
"Grandma, those three have been settled. If they hadn't been summoned by their grandmother, they wouldn't have been let out of Shotoin. Mama Xu said.
"Mama did a good job, that's it first." Xun Qingran heard the footsteps in the compartment and knew that Qi You came out of the bath, so he ordered someone to clean up inside.
"Let's set the table."
Qi You changed into a moon-white poplin robe and walked out of the compartment.
Qing Ran said.
Mama Xu withdrew and ordered someone to set the meal.
Qi You took off his shoes and sat on the couch first, Xun Qing saw that Qi You's hair was still wet, so he hurriedly took a towel from the side to wipe it for Qi You.
"Lord Tang, someone has already sent wine and food, the same as ours." Watching the people put the meal, Xun Qingran said.
Qi Yu hummed, indicating that he understood.
"Mama Song, also sent someone to send the table over?" Xun Qingran asked tentatively.
Oh you nodded.
"Then the Songtao Courtyard ......," Xun Qingran asked again.
"You can arrange it as you like, you don't have to ask me." Qi Yu said.
The Qi family pays attention to food without speaking, the food is Qi, Qi Yu picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and Xun Qingran stopped talking.
After the meal, the wine and food were withdrawn, and Xun Qingran and Qi Yu moved to the inner room to talk.
"Send someone to see what Mama Song is missing."
Xun Qingran was about to open his mouth to ask Qi You about the origin of the four women, but Qi You spoke first.
Xun Qingran's heart moved, this was not to see what Mama Song lacked, but what the good woman lacked.
"Fourth master, that good woman is also the daughter of a criminal official?" Xun Qingran asked.
Qi Yu was stunned, looked at Xun Qingran, and then nodded, with Xun Qingran's intelligence, he naturally guessed the origin of these four women.
Xun Qingran was confirmed by Qi You, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Pingxi Town was one of the penal colonies of this dynasty, and the status of those exiled prisoners here was extremely low, some were enslaved for gold mining, and some were used as military slaves in the army, all of whom were enslaved by others without any dignity and personal security. There were also officials in Pingxi Town who used these people as slaves, and the rough envoys of Madame Chiang's family were said to be exiled family members. In Madame Chiang's words, it was a lot of money saved, and it was better than what was bought.
"Good woman, you should be more attentive and don't look at it as a person." Qi Yu said again.
"Since it's Mama Song's relative, I'll look at it differently. The fourth master can rest assured. ”
Qi You said, "Good woman, it's a guest." ”
Guests, even if they are Mama Song's relatives, are solemnly said by Qi You to be treated as guests, which is a little higher.
Xun Qingran's heart moved, and he still agreed; "Good. Fourth Master, why have you never heard Mama Song talk about this relative, that good girl, the fourth master also saw it when he was a child? ”
Qi You nodded, "She has suffered a lot, you treat her better." ”
Those who are exiled here are naturally miserable, but those who are young and beautiful are in the most miserable situation. Although Xun Qingran's days in Pingxi Town are still shallow, he has already learned about these.
"Fourth master, don't worry, I will treat her well." Xun Qing said, and asked again: "Good girl, who else is there in the family, because of what is the reason for being exiled here, and ......?"
There are no simple cases that have been exiled with their families, most of them are related to politics, and Xun Qingran can't help but worry.
Qi Yu stopped Xun Qingran from continuing to ask, "Those things are not something you can worry about. You just have to treat her well. ”
"Okay, who wants to worry about that. Since the fourth master brought her to the house, I don't want to worry about it. Fourth master, we are husband and wife, you should always tell me the truth, this is not only about you and me, but also about the entire Qi family. ”
"I am entrusted by others, you, you only know that she is Mama Song's niece." Qi You's expression was solemn, and he took Xun Qing in his arms again, and said, "Don't think nonsense, I will do things in a measured manner, and I will be fine." ”
Qi You buried his head in Xun Qingran's neck, hugged Xun Qingran, and put him on the bed.
"What should the other three women arrange?" Xun Qingran asked again.
"Didn't you already arrange it, that would be fine." Qi Yu said.
"The fourth master doesn't have anything special to instruct?" Xun Qingran said with a smile, "It's all brought to the house, the fourth master is outside these days, and there must be someone to serve?" The fourth master should mention me, which one is a meritorious man. Otherwise, I will be treated as an ordinary servant, wouldn't the fourth master be distressed. ”
Qi You didn't answer, and kissed Xun Qing's mouth fiercely.
Xun Qingran couldn't struggle, and was panting when she was kissed.
Qi You had already taken off his robe and reached out to untie Xun Qing's dyed belt.
Xun Qingran got up suddenly.
"Do what?" Qi Yu asked.
Xun Qingran reached out and took the candlestick at the head of the bed, and carefully shone it on Qi You's body from head to toe by the candlelight.
"What are you looking for?" Qi Yu laughed.
What to look for, looking for tooth marks, scratches, kiss marks and all other suspicious traces, Xun Qingran naturally won't say anything.
Qi You was more and more hot when she saw it, and she also raised her body, took the candlestick from Xun Qingran's hand, blew out the candle, and put it back at the head of the bed.
"I'll see later, now, I think you're ......"
Qi You's voice gradually lowered, and he turned over and pressed over.
The next morning, Xun Qingran opened his eyes, and Qi Yu was no longer around. Xun Qingran summoned people to serve, only to know that Qi You had already gone to the governor's yamen.
Xun Qingran was washing up while thinking about what happened last night, and she didn't have time to ask Qi Yu a lot of words.
A beautiful man's plan, it must be a beautiful man's plan, Xun Qingran couldn't help but slander.
After breakfast, Xun Qingran took out the written letters, opened one of them, added a few words at the end of the letter, put it back in the envelope and sealed it, and then handed it to Baozhu and sent it out.
"Lord Tang is at home?" Xun Qingran asked again.
"Lord Tang went out of the city this morning to run a horse and just came back." Mama Xu said.
Xun Qingran nodded, and had an idea in his heart.
In the front yard, Tang Younian had just had breakfast and was eating in the yard when he saw Mama Xu leading three young women into the yard.
"Lord Tang," Mama Xue bowed her knees and blessed Tang Younian.
"Mama Xu doesn't have to be polite." Tang Younian said busily.
"Lord Tang assists the fourth master, and he has worked hard. Madame was worried that the little maids here were rude and inconsiderate, so she asked these three girls to serve Lord Tang. ”
After Mama Xu finished speaking, she was blessed again, leaving three girls behind, and turned around and went back to the inner house.
Tang Younian looked at the three women in front of him and couldn't help but feel bitter.
