Chapter 3 Hidden dangers left by women disguised as men
Qu Qingyan's outstretched arm stopped in mid-air, calling people back, and letting Aunt Chen go like this is not it.
Raised as a boy since she was a child, and with the fame of Xiucai, she is destined to be a man in her life, and the consequences of her lies being exposed, neither she nor the Qin family can afford it.
She walked quickly to the door and found that the people brought by Mrs. Wang had disappeared with Aunt Chen, and she chased out for a while and only vaguely saw the shadow of the carriage.
She returned to the courtyard irritably, and looked at the third sister Qu Zhaoyun, who had not yet married, and was looking at the silver ticket in Qin's hand with a happy face: "Mother, I didn't expect this Aunt Chen to be so valuable, fifty taels of silver tickets, I knew that I could sell her for a good price, so I should have sold her early in the morning." ”
Qin's fingers flicked on the silver ticket, and his face was still disdainful: "This Aunt Chen is used to being coquettish, what did your father want when he was here, it was not enough to raise her flowers over the years, and it would be cheaper to sell her to Mrs. Wang." ”
"Mother, in addition to clothes, we should also buy a few decent jackets and skirts, can we use this money to go to Qingyunxiang tomorrow?"
"It's okay, because your father has delayed you in the past two years, you will be seventeen in the New Year, and this family matter should be hurried, let's order two silver moire horse-faced skirts first, and then go to see if there are any chic jewelry."
There was already nothing left between the two conversations between the two of the silver that sold Aunt Chen, Qu Qingyan couldn't listen anymore, so he grabbed Qin's wrist and dragged Qin into the room amid Qu Zhaoyun's angry screams.
"What kind of wind are you smoking, spending money to let you go to the annual exam and come back with me to lose face?" Qin Shi rubbed his wrists, still as energetic as before.
A filial piety word on the top of his head crushed people to death, Qu Qingyan took a few deep breaths, and then suppressed the anger in his stomach, "Mother, have you forgotten my true identity?" ”
"Real identity? What is your identity, don't you think that you have a great reputation for showing talent, your father was born in the same Jinshi back then, and he didn't dare to yell at me like this. ”
The Qin clan was quite unreasonable, and really wanted people to do it...... Qu Qingyan clenched his fists tightly, still asking in a calm tone: "Mother, think about it, do you really have a son?" ”
"Why don't I have you, when you are dead? Or do you think your wings are stiff and you want to get rid of my widow? ”
Qin's voice was raised again and again, the green tendons on Qu Qingyan's forehead jumped, and he raised his hand to grab one of Qin's hands and pressed it against her chest.
The fifteen-year-old girl's chest had a delicate curve at first, and the soft and familiar touch made Qin Shi stunned for a moment, and then her face turned white, and the pungent was as if she was deflated.
"It's over, it's over, Qingyan, my mother forgot that you are not a son, what should I do, what should I do, that Aunt Chen seems to know your true identity."
"You take me to find Mrs. Wang now, they just left, they should be able to chase them back."
The Qin family came back to their senses and was a little resolute, dragging Qu Qingyan and running out of the door, they lived in the west of the city, and the courtyard of the princess was in the south of the city, not far from them, the two of them copied the path all the way to her courtyard, and patted the door panel desperately.
"Who?"
The voice in the courtyard was old, and it took a long time for the voice to see the door panel trembling open, Qin raised his hand and pushed the door open, and saw a hobbled old man standing in front of the door on crutches.
"Mother-in-law Wang, let her come out to see me."
"She hasn't come back from going out to run errands, if you have something to do with her, just come and wait in the courtyard."
Where could they wait, especially when they found out that Mrs. Wang didn't come back after taking people away.
"Mother, let's go separately to find someone, I'll look for someone in East Lane."
East Lane, the land of fireworks in Ping County. According to Aunt Chen's charm, she may be able to get a good price if she sells it there.
"How can it be done, what kind of place is that, you have a ......" Qu Qingyan quickly covered Qin's mouth and hurriedly answered, "It's appropriate to go there, just relax." ”
Qin shook her head desperately, she just remembered that Qu Qingyan was also a girl's family, so where could she rest assured that she would go to Dongxiang alone, but it was even more inappropriate for her to go there as a widow.
Qu Qingyan smiled at the old man, and dragged the Qin family out of the courtyard of the princess, "Mother, if you are not afraid that others will hear my identity, you can just shout." ”
How could she not be afraid, Qin Shi rubbed his nose in a daze: "But you really can't go to that kind of place, why don't we wait outside the courtyard for Mrs. Wang." ”
"What are you waiting for me to do? But do you still have an aunt to sell? ”
Mrs. Wang appeared at the mouth of the alley with a spring breeze on her face, and when Qin and Qu Qingyan raised their eyes, they saw that she was the only one walking towards this side, but Aunt Chen was gone.
"Where's Aunt Chen?"
"It's sold, Aunt Chen's delicate and gentle stunner is the easiest to sell, there are customers who ask me to help find it early in the morning, and today I will bring people out of you, and I will send them directly out of the city."
The mother and daughter glanced at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.
"Who's going to sell it to? We're not selling, take us to find the man. The Qin clan grabbed Wang Pozi's arm and was bounced away by her arm.
"This buying and selling people is a hammer deal, I have handed over this person to the hands of the guests, and where can you regret it, if it's okay, the two of you will come back early."
Mrs. Wang called to open the door, glanced at them without any good face, and pushed the door panel back on.
"Qingyan, how should this be?"
Qu Qingyan had a special headache, she sighed and raised her hand to knock on the door panel: "Dare to ask Aunt Wang, what kind of family did this Aunt Chen sell to?" ”
"Naturally, she is a big family, if she is not in her early twenties and is well maintained, where do you think it can be worth fifty taels of silver? I'm not afraid that you will look for it, there is an old lady in the Zhou family in this county, and she is the best one, and she has been carried back to be the eleventh concubine. ”
Qingxian Zhou family, when Qu Bozhong was still alive, Qu Qingyan once heard him mention that the Zhou family in Qingxian County has been out of the county for generations, no matter who the county magistrate of Qingxian is, the position of county is always on the Zhou family.
It was sold to such a family, and it was almost impossible to get people back with their current situation, Qu Qingyan hung his head and was a little depressed.
"Qingyan, did my mother cause you trouble?" When the Qin clan calmed down, he felt that the silver ticket in his hand was extremely hot.
"It's okay, Aunt Chen can enter the Zhou family is also her blessing." At this point, what else could she say, Qu Qingyan took Qin's arm, and the two walked back slowly.
As soon as I pushed the courtyard door, I saw Qu Zhaoyun happily running out of Aunt Chen's previous room: "Mother, what do you see I found?" This Aunt Chen really has a lot of good things hidden in her hands. ”
She opened the rosewood box in her hand in the evening sunset, and Qu Qingyan saw the box full of pearls and emeralds in a blink of an eye, and the color was extremely good.
As soon as the Qin clan saw these jewelry, the anger that had just been extinguished came up again, "This little sassy hoof, I know that your father spent a lot of silver on her, and I don't even have these objects, so I should have sold her early in the morning." ”
The Qin clan snatched the box from Qu Zhaoyun's hand, ignored Qu Zhaoyun's shouts behind him, and quickly returned to his room, and his previous worries were completely gone.
"Mother, why is it always like this." Qu Zhaoyun stomped his feet and complained to Qu Qingyan.
The son didn't say anything about his mother, Qu Qingyan pulled the corners of his lips, lifted his exam basket in the corner and went back to the study.
She slumped in the circle chair, her delicate fingers rubbing her eyebrows, unprepared for a series of changes, what should she do next?
She thought about it for a long time, and wrote a letter to her grandfather, who was an envoy in Henan.
When she entered this body, it was Qu Bozhong who was on the way to Pingxian to take office, but her grandfather, who was in charge of a provincial punishment, had never even seen it, so it would be good to send the letter to him in such a hurry, if it was taken by Mrs. Qu...... After finishing the last stroke, she stared at the letter, and after a long moment, she put down the brush and tore the pages to shreds.
