Chapter 101: Stealing at noon

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Madame, what are you pulling me back for? I'll go to Zhuangzi with Huaihai in a while! After eating, Qin Huaifu was dragged back to the room by the Li family.

Li mysteriously checked the doors and windows to see if anyone was eavesdropping; Then he came over and said to him anxiously: "Oh, sir, you don't know, I heard a not very good news today. โ€

"What's the matter?" Qin Huaifu sat down on the chair next to him with a calm demeanor, personally poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it.

"Today I went to Su's house to listen to you go to her and cry. Unexpectedly, after You'er came, she told me that all the money in her family let her use it to build a wharf, and now there is no money here in Qin Mansion. Li walked over and sat on a chair across the tea table from him, and couldn't wait to tell him what he knew.

"Oh? What kind of things are there? Qin Huaifu hesitantly put down the teacup in his hand and looked at her, "They can't lie to you, right?" โ€

"Nope! When I came back, I asked the girl to inquire, and the result was true. The two siblings, Qin Haoran and Qin Youran, bought a large piece of land in a place very close to the sea, and built something called a wharf, and I heard that they are about to be completed. Li said 1510.

"According to you, her family is really out of money?" Qin Huaifu touched his mustache and said contemplatively.

"It should be." Li nodded, "Do you think, it's only been half a year since their family moved here, how much money can they earn in such a short period of time?" It's good enough to be able to come out of bankruptcy. โ€

"Well, that makes sense." Qin Huaifu said in agreement.

"Alas~ I came earlier if I knew it, and it's too late to say anything now." Li's expression was wilted, and he muttered, "However, it's not in vain. โ€

"Huh? How so? Qin Huaifu looked at her strangely.

"You'er and Su Shi said, although there is no money, but there is something! They said they would help Hui'er prepare some dowry. Li looked at him and said, "I thought, it's a little bit after all, they can help prepare some, and we can have some leftovers ourselves." โ€

"Well, that's all there is to it." Qin Huaifu nodded.

"By the way, sir, do you see what you want in the Zhuangzi?" Li Shi was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked.

"Heyโ€”don't mention it!" Qin Huaifu sighed, "The workers in this village are basically pruning and cultivating soil for those trees, and there is no special planting method at all. And it's more difficult for me to smuggle those things out, they have already grown into trees, and they are not as light and easy to carry as small seedlings. โ€

"And what do you do so actively every day?" Li Shi gave him a blank look.

He knew what he couldn't get, so he didn't try to find a way to try another place, but instead identified that place, and went to report it every day, I really don't know what he thought?

"I'm not thinking about helping Huaihai more in Zhuangzi! When you borrow money, he also looks good at me being so proactive in helping, so I have to give more money! Although he said that it is Qin Yuran and Qin Youran who are in charge of the house now, he, the head of the family, should still have a lot of weight in his words.

"Oh, that'...... Then there you go! Li reluctantly said to him.

Qin Huaifu thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "Don't go, you said that his family has no money, what else am I going to talk about?"

"That'...... So what are we going to do next? โ€

Qin Huaifu rolled his eyes, turned towards her slightly, and said softly: "You will go to the Su family in a while and ask for the dowry she said to Hui'er; And I went to Qin Youran's courtyard, and took advantage of the lunch break of their master and servants at noon, and quietly sneaked into the nursery room to see if I could get some rare fruit seedlings. When I got back, I found a rich merchant and sold it. โ€

Li listened with bated breath, then raised his eyes and smiled at him, nodded in agreement, "Okay." โ€

In the afternoon, the sun in the sky is radiating its light and heat, shining on the land.

At this time, the leisurely small courtyard was quiet.

After a while, a figure emerged from the dark corner of the doorway, and he slowly and cautiously walked into the courtyard. Then follow the top, step by step, carefully forward, beware of making the slightest noise to wake up the person who is taking a nap.

Qin Huaifu took a breath, quietly pushed open the door of the nursery room, poked his head in, looked around left and right, and found that no one was guarding. So he opened the door wide enough for one person to enter, and stepped in gently.

Slowly closing the door, Qin Huaifu leaned against the door and breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his head, and then he had the heart to look at the things in the room.

"Drink...... That's a lot! He muttered to himself as he stepped forward to watch.

He came to a place where a sapling was more than a meter high, and said, "What are these things?" โ€

Looking left and right, I didn't see what kind of plant it was, but it was quite special, there were no other branches on one trunk, it grew straight up, and it was full of burrs; Its leaves are large, the size of an adult's palm, and some are even larger.

"It's a pity, it's too big, it's hard to take away!" Qin Huaifu shook his head with a smile on his face and muttered.

He walked out of this place and walked towards another. There are two large clay pots, each with a large fig tree. It is the result of months of careful cultivation, from a small fruit seedling to a tree that is now more than a meter tall.

"This one is bigger, and it's only these two, I stole it, and it must have been easy to find. I'm looking for something else! "I had to give up.

Su Su and Gongsun Yan were in the shadow of the nursery room, quietly watching Qin Huaifu turn left and right here, just not looking at the target they had designed.

"Xianggong, should we remind him?" Su Su turned his head to look at Gongsun Yan and said inquiringly: "According to his method, when everyone wakes up, he may not be able to choose what to steal!"

"Hehe, it's fine." Gongsun Yan was amused by Su Su's words, looked at her dotingly, and nodded in response.

"Well, Chenxi, you go ......" After getting her husband's consent, Su Su gave this glorious task to her son with a smile.

Dawn pursed her lips and reluctantly floated over. Hum! Daddy knew that he was instructed to do things, and in fact, he also wanted to stand quietly and watch the show! But come to think of it, you still have to do it, who made him the youngest?! โ•ฎ(๏ธถ๏น๏ธถ)โ•ญ

Dawn came to a place where there was a very inconspicuous little square table, on which were placed several delicate little flower pots, in which things were planted.

He stretched out his small white and tender fleshy hand and gently pushed it against the table, making a sound. Qin Huaifu, who was observing and looking not far from him, couldn't help but be startled when he heard the movement, and hurriedly turned around to look at the place where the sound came from.

After he confirmed that no one was coming, he slapped his chest fiercely and muttered, "Hey, hey...... It scares the hell out of me! Why is this moving for no reason? Is there a mouse? โ€

Dawn was still standing at the edge of the small square table, covering her mouth and snickering at him. He stretched out his little fleshy hand and waved it at Qin Huaifu to see if he really couldn't see him?

"Huh? What is that? Qin Huaifu walked towards the small square table suspiciously, "What a special flower?" But it's pretty cute......"

Dawn was now beside him, stretched out her head to look at the plants on the small square table, looked at him strangely and asked, "Where is it cute?" There's nothing wrong with your aesthetic, right? โ€

Of course, Qin Huaifu couldn't give him an answer to this question, because he was a normal person, and it was still broad daylight at this time, so he couldn't see him at all, and he couldn't hear what he said.

Dawn didn't expect him to respond to herself, so she pouted and continued to watch the plants in front of her with him.

Among the delicate and small flower pots, a special-looking plant attracted all Qin Huaifu's attention. The moment he saw it, his eyes lit up, and a voice in his heart told him that this was what he was looking for.

He looked left and right at the empty room, slowly took out a black cloth bag from his arms, opened it, and filled it with a pot of flowers. Then he quickly left the nursery with the bag, and went back according to the route he had come.

"Dad, is this done?" Chenxi silently withdrew his gaze watching Qin Huaifu leave, and turned back to Gongsun Yan, who was still standing in the shadows behind.

"Hmm." Gongsun Yan's remaining words mode was turned on again, and the indifferent response gave Chenxi a word.

Dawn: "......"

Qin Huaifu returned to the room where he was temporarily staying in the Qin Mansion without stopping, and the doors and windows were closed. After doing this, he went to the inner room, gently put the cloth bag in his hand on the tea table, and then opened it.

"Squeak-" The sound of the door opening.

Qin Huaifu was frightened, and hurriedly tied back the cloth bag that had just been opened.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

At this time, Lee's voice came from behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Lee's standing not far from him, looking at him with curiosity on his face.

"Hey, that's scaring me!" Today is really a bad year, and you can be frightened everywhere. It seems that this bad thing should be done less, maybe one day I will be able to scare myself to death.

"Ma'am, come and see what good things I've gotten?" Qin Huaifu calmed down his frightened mood and said to the Li family.

"What?" Li walked over and watched him open the black cloth bag, revealing the contents inside, "Wow~ What a beautiful flower!" Well, it's so special. โ€

"yes!" Qin Huaifu was a little proud at this time, this was what he had selected for a long time in the nursery room with many rare plants. Of course it's special!

"Well, yes." Li Shi looked at the pot of flowers intently and nodded in response.

"By the way, sir, this is what you 'took' from the nursery? Won't be discovered, right? Lee thought about it.

"This one is placed in an inconspicuous corner, and I don't think it's so easy to notice that it's missing a pot for a while." Qin Huaifu touched his chin and said analytically: "However, we can't stay here for a long time, and it's not good to be discovered."

"Well, that's what the lord said." Lee nodded in agreement.

"Have you asked the Su family to bring the dowry to Hui'er?"

"It's coming, Su Shi is preparing it now! I heard her say that after listening to my complaint in the morning, she ordered someone to prepare. I guess I'll be ready to deliver it soon. Lee responded.

"Then you hurry up and clean up, we have to salute, don't hesitate, we have to leave as soon as possible." Qin Huaifu commanded with a serious expression.

"Huh? Do you need to be in such a hurry? Li hesitated.

"So as not to have too many dreams at night, let's leave early, so rest assured!"

"That's right......" Li thought for a while and thought it made sense, nodded and responded: "That's okay, I'll go and pack up the salute."

"Well, you clean up first, and I'll go to the main courtyard to talk to Huaihai."

"Well, go ahead!"
