Chapter 796: Calm and Waves

Du Jinning's heart moved, but there was no expression on his face: "Thinking too much." ”

At this moment, a woman came out of the house, still carrying two plates of snacks.

She put the snack on the table between Du Jinning and Qin Laoliu, sat down beside Qin Laoliu, reached out and twisted it on Qin Laoliu's ear, which made Qin Laoliu grin: "Okay, you Qin Laoliu, you dare to even make a joke about the young master, you really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall." ”

Saying that, she smiled at Du Jinning and said, "Young master, don't blame him, he is this kind of character, he is very arrogant and open-mouthed." ”

"It doesn't matter." Du Jinning waved his hand, picked up a piece of mung bean cake, took a bite, and asked, "What's going on outside?" ”

"The Guards and another team are searching the city." The woman looked at Du Jinning, "Although the sixth child is a rough man and can't speak, let the little woman say a word, the young master's makeup is really not good." ”

Du Jinning put down the mung bean cake in his hand, looked at the woman, and had a serious expression: "Why not?" ”

This woman was also one of the people that Du Jinning bought back through Qin Laoliu's hands. Later, seeing that although she was ordinary, she had a good temperament, she was five or six years younger than Qin Laoliu, and Qin Laoliu was interested in her, so Du Jinning personally acted as a matchmaker and let the two become husband and wife.

After they entered Beijing, Du Jinning asked Qin Lao Liu to buy this mansion as a stronghold, and also let their husband and wife settle here, Qin Lao Liu changed his name to Qin Song, and his wife Wang. When the two settled down, they registered their daughter Qin Anning's name on the household register, and claimed that their daughter followed her grandmother in her hometown.

And Qin Anning is Du Jinning's current identity.

Qin Song and Wang settled in the capital a few years ago, and their daughter also existed in the household registration, some time ago, Wang also said hello to his good neighbors, and went back to his hometown to pick up his daughter, saying that his daughter was going to say goodbye to her in the capital when she was older. Such an old resident, such an excuse, there is no flaw at all. Even if the Imperial Forest Army finds out here, as long as Du Jinning's appearance is not so similar to the missing Du Jinning, it will not be found out at all.

It's not that Du Jinning doesn't know that there is something wrong with his makeup. The reason why she walked out in women's clothes like this without concealing it was because she wanted to try Qin Lao Liu and Wang's family.

Although Qin Lao Liu and the Wang family, as well as several subordinates who were regarded as subordinates of the Qin family, were bought by her with money and paid to cultivate them, these people were all controlled by Qin Lao Liu all these years. Now that she has lost her identity as an official family, she is incognito, and Aoki, Yao Shuqi and others are not around, if Qin Lao Liu suddenly rebels, then she is really in the mouth of a tiger, and there is no way to resist at all.

So she had to be careful.

The human heart is the most complicated thing in the world, and she doesn't dare to bet on it, and she can't afford it. When Qin Lao Liu brought him to this house, she drugged Qin Lao Liu unconsciously. Qin Lao Liu didn't betray her, she didn't let people notice the medicine for him anymore; But if Qin Lao Liu wanted to betray her, then she would naturally not be a lamb to be slaughtered.

It was precisely because of the reliance on the drug that she dared to get rid of Qi Muyuan's people and entrust her personal safety to Qin Lao Liu.

Wang Shi didn't know what Du Jinning was thinking, she said: "It's too beautiful, it's easy to attract the attention of others; Second, your appearance must be changed, lest anyone see you and associate you with Master Du. ”

Du Jinning nodded: "What my sister-in-law said makes sense. ”

"Then I'll help you change it?" Wang said tentatively.

"Okay." Du Jinning stood up.

Wang's family had been married before, but then her husband died, and she was kicked out by her mother-in-law without children, and then sold by her mother's brother and sister-in-law to work as a domestic servant in the Qinglou. Although she is illiterate, she is smart, and she learned the skill of first-hand makeup in the Qinglou, and can make an ordinary-looking woman very beautiful, and she became a special makeup artist in the Qinglou three years later.

Because of her skills, Qin Laoliu asked her if she was willing to leave the Qinglou, and spent a lot of money to redeem her from the Qinglou and join this organization.

Entering the house, Wang Shi took out a bunch of bottles and cans and smeared them on Du Jinning's face. When she said yes, when Du Jinning looked in the mirror, she saw that her appearance had become very ordinary, and she was no longer very similar to the original.

changed her appearance, changed her gender, and even if she met acquaintances on the road, those people would not recognize her.

"Sister-in-law teach me makeup." She said.

Although Du Jinning has also learned a few hands, he usually changes his appearance with makeup when he dresses up as a man, but his makeup methods are still worse than those of professionals like Wang.

Because of the darkness under the lights, she didn't plan to leave the capital during this time, so she stayed in this house. This period of time is probably the most leisurely time since she crossed over, so it is better to take this opportunity to learn makeup and pass the time.

"The young master wants to learn, so naturally there is no problem." Wang said with a smile.

Wang is thirty-five years old, Du Jinning is only sixteen years old, and with her age, she is more than enough to be Du Jinning's mother. So teaching Du Jinning makeup, she has no psychological burden at all, and Qin Lao Liu will not have any ideas.

In the house, Du Jinning followed Wang to learn makeup every day, read books, practice calligraphy, and lived a leisurely and peaceful life.

But the outside world is turbulent, and things come one after another.

First of all, the Zhao family was slaughtered all over the house, the main figures of the Zhang family were killed, the house was burned, and officials of other families were found to have violated the law and were sent to prison or dismissed.

The family wanted to repeat the old trick and stretched out their hands to the palace, so that Zhao Yu could throw a mouse bogey, but they didn't want Zhao Yu to be on guard, except for the concubines from the family, whether it was the queen mother, the eldest princess of Lu or a few children, they were all protected by the Royal Forest Army. Not only did they fail to succeed, but they exposed their secrets, and many people were arrested by Zhao Mei's spy agency.

In the end, the family had to surrender to Zhao Mei.

Zhao Yu followed Qi Bokun's suggestion, selected some sincere families to accept Toucheng, and continued to liquidate those who were not sincere. For a moment, the family was terrified. The power of the family in the court was greatly weakened, and Zhao Yu gathered his power, supported more officials from poor families to important positions, consolidated his own power, and took the opportunity to launch a proposal to expand the southern side and open up the road and prosper commerce, which was also passed in one fell swoop.

The ups and downs in the court, life and death, did not affect the people, and the people still lived their own peaceful lives.

But on this day, an official hurriedly entered the palace to ask to see Zhao Yu, and as soon as he entered the hall, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the people in Beijing are emotional and ask us to rescue Du Jinning Du." ”

Zhao Yu was discussing the matter of the family with Qi Bokun, and when he heard this, he glanced at Qi Bokun first, and saw that Qi Bokun was also surprised and dazed, so he asked, "What happened?" ”
