Su Yingxue said: "No, I don't regret coming here at all, it's a great thing for me to be able to see any place that is different from Fuzhong." It's just that I want to be free too much. Although their lives are hard, they always have their own choices in life. And I can only go on with the life arranged by my parents. I hope that one day, I will be able to get out of that canary cage and make a living on my own. ”

Qin Ziqing looked at her lost face, and the lake light reflected on it, glowing with a soft and quiet light.

"Do you really want to make a living on your own?"

"Hmm."

"But after leaving Su Mansion, how are you going to support yourself? What's more, in this world, there is no way for women to make a living. ”

Su Yingxue smiled wisely: "Others may not have it, but I do." You forgot what I did in the house? ”

"Oh, you mean, that?"

Su Yingxue nodded.

"Auntie, they love you so much, you can discuss it with your aunt."

"Forget it. You don't know, I've only been out of the house a few times this year. I went to my grandfather's house once during the New Year's Festival, and my mother accompanied me out once during the Midyear Lantern Festival, and the remaining few times my best friend sent me several invitations, and my mother agreed to visit me, and every time my mother had to accompany me. I always felt like my mother was afraid of me running away, but when she mentioned going out, she was very nervous. ”

Qin Ziqing was also puzzled when he heard it. only said that if there was a chance, he would try to go to Su Mansion to invite Su Yingxue to go out to play and test Su's mother. Su Yingxue originally had no choice, a dead horse would be a live horse doctor, and it wouldn't be worse if she tried it.

Seeing that it was about to be time, the two took a carriage and headed in the direction of Sufu.

The night banquet in Sufu had already dispersed, and Ziyun instructed a few little girls in the courtyard that the master had fallen asleep, and she would take care of them tonight, so that they could rest well and not have to worry about it. A few little girls can't wait to get a good night's sleep, but no one knows that Su Yingxue is not in the house.

At this moment, Ziyun was already waiting at the West Corner Gate, she secretly hid under a tree, looking around, for fear of being seen, the weather was cold, and she was blowing her hands to keep warm. At last I heard the faint sound of the wheels of the carts and the hooves of the horses. She stood at the door, heard four knocks, took out the key and opened the door, but saw a thin Langjun standing at the door and wanted to come in, hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and scolded in a low voice: "Who are you?" ”

"Shhhhh

"Girl?"

"Shhhh

Ziyun hurriedly opened the door and let Su Yingxue in, but before the carriage left, Su Yingxue closed the door and hurried back to the courtyard.

Entering Su Yingxue's bedroom, Ziyun lit the lamp and asked, "Girl, why did you come back in such clothes?" ”

Su Yingxue told Ziyun about the situation while changing her clothes, and Ziyun was relieved. Su Yingxue knew that no one knew about her going out today, and she felt a little proud in her heart. I thought maybe this was a way to sneak out and relax once in a while. took out a seal box given to her by Qin Ziqing, and instructed Ziyun to print the key and go out to get a key another day.

Ziyun said: "Girl, it's just a matter of accident like this, so it's hard for you to grow up." ”

"I haven't thought about it yet, but if I have the key, if I really use it, I won't have to worry about it. You can't go wrong with being prepared. ”

Ziyun had no choice but to do so.

The third year of Wude came to the sound of firecrackers. It was still dark, and Su Yingxue had already gotten up under Ziyun's service. Go to your parents and say goodbye.

Su's father and mother also got up, listened to their daughter's congratulations, and took out the red envelopes that had been prepared a long time ago. Subsequently, the subordinates of the mansion also received the reward money one by one, and laughter filled the courtyard. After breakfast, the steward of the mansion had already instructed everyone to start sending last year's congratulatory gifts to several mansions with which they had good friendships, and at the same time registering the congratulatory gifts sent by others in the library. Father Su has always liked to be idle, and he does things properly, so he is all in charge of everything, and he doesn't ask anything. There is nothing to do in the back house, and the family sits and drinks tea and chats.

As for Su Yingxue's friends in the boudoir, Ziyun had already gone to deal with them. Su's mother also made fun of the father and daughter, if there is really a father, there must be a daughter.

After a while, Ziyun came to report that the young master of the Qin family also sent a congratulatory gift, and asked Su Yingxue to instruct how to return the gift.

Su Yingxue asked, "What is it?" ”

Ziyun replied, "It's twelve books and a pair of emerald jade. ”

When Su Yingxue heard the book, she was overjoyed, and although she had a cover on her face, the corners of her mouth that couldn't be hidden were slightly raised. She didn't know how to reply in this box, but she listened to Su Mu

"Xuan'er, this kid also has a heart. I just gave you a gift and a gift for the New Year. It's just a book that was given away for no reason, can you see it clearly? ”

"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, I saw clearly, it was a few poems, as well as books related to flowers and plants."

"Mother, in your opinion, how can I give Brother Ziqing a gift in return?"

Su Mu smiled: "It's better for your father to come up with the idea of this kind of thing." ”

As he spoke, the two looked at Father Su together.

Father Su thought for a moment and said: "I think Xuan'er, this kid, is more courageous than before when he goes out this time, and he acts neatly." A few days ago, I heard that he had hired a martial artist to learn martial arts. We also have a fine sword in our house, called the Falling Rain Sword. We have no children under our knees, and we can also see the filial piety of this child. Take this opportunity to give him this sword in your name. ”

Su's father and Su's mother also wanted to match them, so heavy gifts, how could Qin Ziqing not know that Su Yingxue's parents were behind them.

Su Yingxue felt that this gift was too heavy, so she said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to give back such a valuable thing to him in my name." In more than a month, Brother Ziqing is going to celebrate his birthday, so it is better for his father and mother to give him a congratulatory gift. As for the return gift, I have a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War in the Han Dynasty in my library, which is quite complete, and it is just right to give it to him. ”

"It's good, but you're not good at it, but you can't afford it?"

"Daughter, baby, it's because Sun Tzu's Art of War has been around for a long time, and many versions are a little different. That one is older and more complete. My daughter has already transcribed two copies, and although this antique book is valuable, its content is more valuable. Naturally, my daughter has nothing to be reluctant to. Make the best use of it, and live up to it. ”

Su's father and Su mother were all good, and Ziyun received the order to go down to do things.

Qin Ziqing got this baby, and she was really happy. Holding it in his hand like a baby, it looks like it immediately.

Originally, he asked a few friends to get together and said that they wanted to get together, but they forgot all about it. When the little maid Mozhu came to report, he held his forehead and remembered the incident.

Hurriedly asked Ah Si to prepare a fast horse and go straight to the restaurant.

A few of him were famous students in Yangzhou City, Zhao Mingting, Liu Lingjun, Du Feiyu and Dong Ling.

Hearing the sound of Qin Ziqing going upstairs, Du Feiyu had already yelled at the stairs

"Ziqing, you're too late, let's punish yourself three cups first!"

With a wicked smile on his face, he took out three large glasses and poured them full of wine.

Qin Ziqing didn't say a word, he came up with a punch, Du Feiyu hurriedly dodged, followed Qin Ziqing's arm, turned around and wanted to catch Qin Ziqing. Qin Ziqing saw that the situation was not good, so he took advantage of the situation and turned around and strangled Du Feiyu's neck with his arm, and with a little force, he knocked him to the ground.

Du Feiyu's face was only twitched, and he covered his buttocks and shouted.

Dong Ling pulled him to stand up, and complained: "Why are you so strong, you can kill me, sigh......"

Qin Ziqing sat down by himself, "I didn't use my strength, you didn't use it yourself." I'm late, so I'll punish myself with three glasses first. Ignoring the three glasses of wine that Du Feiyu poured just now, he took a small glass and drank three glasses by himself. After drinking, he glanced at Du Feiyu.

Du Feiyu originally wanted to tease Qin Ziqing, but unexpectedly, he hit his own foot with a stone. Hehe smiled, "I heard that you invited a master to teach martial arts, but in just a few days, it's so powerful!" ”

Several other people also looked at Qin Ziqing for a long time.

"What? Haven't you also learned kung fu for so many years, and you brag so much on weekdays, why are you so vulnerable today? ”

Du Feiyu was embarrassed. Yes, I'm just a distracted person, praising you for two sentences and you're still breathing, I really can't fight you. Hum! Du Feiyu stared at Qin Ziqing's face, ready to sneak attack when he was unprepared.

Liu Lingjun looked at all this with an idle appearance, and drank tea by himself. He had already seen Du Feiyu's intentions, shook his head and put down the teacup and said: "There is a drink in the restaurant, you have to compare your fists and feet, and when we go out of the city later, you can fight at will." ”

Zhao Mingting took the opportunity to echo: "That's it, Feiyu, come on, come on, hurry up and sit down." When everyone gets together, they don't want to hurt the brotherhood. ”

Du Feiyu is a cool character, hehe smiled.

"I'm just itchy hands and feet, none of you have practiced martial arts, and I've been lonely and ruthless in the past few years. Finally, Brother Ziqing practiced kung fu and fought with me so much, I lost to him before I could enjoy it, and I was really unconvinced. As he spoke, he laughed twice and sat down to drink. He raised his glass to Qin Ziqing and said, "Ziqing, come, I'll toast you." After this cup, how about we find a place to practice later? ”

Qin Ziqing raised his glass in response, "It's just right, I just happened to see how these things the master taught me." ”

Zhao Mingting and Dong Ling looked at these two people helplessly. Therefore, people who have practiced martial arts are very competitive and competitive, where did Qin Ziqing be like this before. This guy went out on a study trip and came back, as if he was a different person.

Liu Lingjun is okay, he understands Qin Ziqing. Although Qin Ziqing did not practice martial arts before, he has always had this thought, and he has insisted on exercising for many years. Now he has persuaded his parents to achieve what he wanted, which is also a blessing. Moreover, Qin Ziqing has been acting steadily in the past day, and he is measured. It's not a bad idea to give yourself a try.

Pity Du Feiyu, I always thought that I was just careless, and I would have to fight for face after a while. Who knows, there are two people who have long regarded him as a defeated soldier.
