"What's the name of a chivalrous warrior and where does it come from?" Chen Ping, who heard Chen Yanxue tell everything, asked Duguyi with a smile while brushing his beard.

"Si Jing, my family is far away from Beijing, and I came to Beijing this time to do business." Dugu Yi still spoke coldly, which made Chen Yanxue look at Chen Ping a little overwhelmed.

"Oh? In this way, can the old man take the liberty of asking, what kind of business does the knight's family have? Chen Ping asked incredulously.

"My father died of illness at an early age, and some of the family's valuables business, such as silk, jade, gold and silver jewelry, are now run by me." Dugu Yi deliberately tempted Chen Ping with a good unassuming tone, and before the words fell, Chen Ping's eyes had already lit up.

Chen Ping looked at Dugu Yi a few times, compared his clothes and wear, and saw that he was not lying, so he smiled and said: "A chivalrous man has such a business ability at a young age, he can become a big tool, he can become a big tool!" Hahahaha! ”

Chen Ping then expressed his gratitude to Duguyyi for relieving his daughter, and invited Duguyi to stay in his mansion on the day of Beijing, and ordered his subordinates to serve him carefully.

Chen Ping's reaction and his cunning were both expected by Duguyi.

There is only one person, Shi Xuezhu, who has no waves on his face during the dialogue with Chen Ping.

Under Duguyi's attention several times, the woman caught his attention. Shi Xuezhu is commensurate with Chen Yanxue's sisters, but she is very different from Chen Yanxue.

She is dressed in Qin Liu, not like Chen Yanxue, who can tell at a glance that she is the daughter of a big family. And what also made Dugu Yi notice was the woman's downbeat eyes and the sadness revealed in her expression.

Listening to the full praise of this "Young Master An", Qin Liusu not only sighed that such a good person as Anyang Hou and his wife had such a sensible son, but also was full of gratitude to this young master. After thinking about it, I couldn't help but joke again:

"Bilian, look at how much you praise this young master to the sky, do you like the young master!"

"Miss! Don't talk nonsense. Bi Lian covered her face shyly: "If the old lady's maid hears it, I'm afraid Bi Lian won't even die." How can we fight the master's idea. ”

Bi Lian sighed, and Qin Liusu comforted her when she heard it: "Bi Lian, I'll make a joke with you about this, and I will never mention it to others in the future." ”

"Except for Miss Qin Liusu, I'm afraid there will never be anyone so good to Bilian again."

Bilian fed Qin Liusu medicine, covered the bed on Qin Liusu's body, and hurriedly packed up the dishes and went to report to An Wenxun and his wife about Miss Qin Liusu's awakening.

An Wenxun and his wife were overjoyed, came to visit Qin Liusu, and instructed Qin Liusu to take good care of her body for the time being, and when she recovered, she would officially accept her as her daughter.

Dugu Yi met Shi Xuezhu again in the garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If it weren't for the sound of her piano that attracted Dugu Yi to the past, he probably wouldn't have discovered that Chen Ping's ambition was so huge that he made the garden of his home very similar to the garden of the palace.

In Duguyi's impression, he seemed to have heard a similar piano sound.

When Emperor Jing was alive, Feng's last concubine was a woman who was only six years old when Duguyi was older.

At that time, Emperor Jing was tired of the strife in the harem, and loved to listen to this concubine play the piano day and night.

The sound of the piano was the last consolation for Emperor Jing before he passed away, and it also made Dugu Yi, who was attracted to him and often eavesdropped outside the door, remembered in his mind and could not forget.

Later, Emperor Jing died, and the concubine disappeared inexplicably, and no one was seen alive or dead.

Now Shi Xuezhu's piano sound evokes a special memory of Duguyi, which makes him have an indescribable impression of her.

Shi Xuezhu didn't say anything, and until he finished playing this song, Duguyi had already walked away.

At night, Dugu Yi tossed and turned, thinking that if he wanted to get rid of Chen Ping, a big moth, he had to find his handle first, so he got up and prepared to go around the house.

The first thing he could think of was the study, and only a place like the study could hide some secrets.

Dugu Yi searched for a long time, but did not find anything abnormal, and when he was disappointed, he accidentally knocked down an ornament, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound Dugu Yi happened to hear abnormal movements.

"Who is it?"

I saw a person slowly walking out from behind the bookshelf, but it was Shi Xuezhu.

"Is that you?"

"Why are you here?" Between the two of them, they heard approaching footsteps outside the door.

"Come with me." Shi Xuezhu pulled Dugu Yi and walked inside, groped for a row of trees on the bookshelf, took out the three thick books that were connected together, and skillfully unscrewed a circular switch at the back, the bookshelf actually moved, and an open one appeared in front of them.

Shi Xuezhu put the book back in its original position, motioned to Duguyi to quickly enter the secret room with her, and turned another switch, and the bookshelf moved back to its original position by itself.

At this moment, it was Chen Ping and his daughter Chen Yanxue who entered the study. Chen Ping ordered someone to light the candle, and Chen Yanxue immediately found the porcelain residue lying on the ground.

"Dad, this ......"

Seeing this, the vigilant Chen Ping inspected the study, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he ordered his subordinates to retreat, closed the door and talked to Chen Yanxue. Dugu Yi and Shi Xuezhu saw the opportunity to lean against the door of the secret room and eavesdrop.

"Xue'er, you are Daddy's baby daughter, Daddy also knows where your heart is, as soon as the autumn comes, you are about to enter the palace, Dad is really reluctant." Saying this, Chen Ping seemed to feel a little uncomfortable and reluctant from the joy in his heart.

"Dad, my daughter has entered the palace, and she is still your baby daughter, and my daughter will not forget you." Chen Yanxue's innocent face was filled with a happy smile.

"I'm satisfied with the sentence that there is a woman. Also, what my father means is that he wants to wait for you to enter the palace and marry Xuezhu to a good family. Hearing this, Duguyi glanced at Shi Xuezhu.

"Dad, Sister Xuezhu is very good to me, I don't want to be separated from her, I want her to enter the palace with me."

"Nonsense! You're the one who wants to be the queen! Let her enter the palace with you like what, compete with you for favor! "But Dad, my Sister Xuezhu is not that kind of person. And even if you want her to marry, you have to listen to her opinion. Chen Yanxue was a little dissatisfied.

"This is the Chen Mansion, how dare she not listen to me!" Chen Ping was a little impatient, but he pretended to be kind and said: "Xue'er, since Xuezhu's father entrusted her to me, I have to be responsible for her." Your cousin, she is a smart girl, and it won't do you any good to let her enter the palace with you. ”

"But Daddy ......"

"Okay, don't say it, just listen to me! I also count her Shi Xuezhu as half a father, how can she not listen to me! Chen Ping's tough attitude made Chen Yanxue unable to refute anymore.

Chen Yanxue was so angry that she had no choice but to leave.

Hearing this, Shi Xuezhu had nothing to say, looking at Dugu Yi beside her, she felt that her joke-like identity in the Prime Minister's Mansion was probably going to be laughed at by him.

"It doesn't hurt to hear why you're in this situation." She didn't expect Duguyi to ask like this.

"Why do you ask?" Shi Xuezhu looked surprised.

"Maybe I can help you." Duguyi smiled.

He actually laughed, since Shi Xuezhu saw him for the first time, this person called "Si Jing", he had never seen him speak coldly.

And now he actually smiled at her. He looked so good when he smiled, and this smile revealed a sense of confidence, and at the same time, it brought her a touch like a warm current, which spread to her eyes and all over her body.

"Why are you helping me? Who the hell are you! What is the purpose of being here? Shi Xuezhu suddenly calmed down and was full of questions.

"You are here looking for what you are looking for, I am naturally here to find what I want, we still have a common language, why do you doubt me?" Dugu Yi smiled at Shi Xuezhu again, this smile, along with his words, had already broken through the defense line in her heart.

Shi Xuezhu no longer questioned it.

"I just came to Chen's Mansion last month, my father died of illness, and entrusted me to Xue'er and his father, that is, Chen Ping." Shi Xuezhu said with some sadness.

"My mother and Chen Ping are very distant cousins, and a scholarly family like my father and a big official like Chen Ping should not be able to get together. The most important thing is that my father was healthy before his death, and it is impossible for him to suddenly become seriously ill. Speaking of this, Shi Xuezhu left tears of resentment.

"Since I was a child, people often come to my house to ask my dad for help, and my dad refuses, but they often come, and my dad agrees for some reason. Later, one day, my mother forced me to die and asked my father to stop helping those people, and I learned that the person was my distant cousin Chen Ping. As a result, my father agreed, and then ...... My mother committed suicide. ”

Shi Xuezhu held back tears and said all her resentment and dissatisfaction.

"Later, after my father came back from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he suddenly became seriously ill and was bedridden until he never opened his eyes again. On the day my father died, Chen Ping came, and I told him that my father entrusted me to his care, so I would come here. ”

"Then why did your father entrust you to Chen Ping?" Duguyi asked puzzled.

"Of course, my father knew that Chen Ping was not a good person, and he asked me to go to other places to seek refuge with relatives after his death, but I was eager for revenge, so I deceived Chen Ping and waited for an opportunity to find evidence to avenge my father."

"And have you ever thought about how dangerous it is for you to do this?" Shi Xuezhu looked at Duguyi and stopped talking.

After a few days of rest, Qin Liusu's body bones had almost recovered. It was rare to get out of bed that day, so I couldn't help but run to the garden for a walk.

I probably didn't see the sun for too long, and I didn't realize that the sky was gradually getting cooler. Qin Liusu couldn't help but wrap his coat tightly.

"Isn't that my good sister?" An Wenzhao's ill-intentioned emphasis frightened Qin Liusu.

Qin Liusu turned around, but saw a young man.

"Are you...... Young Master An? ”

"You don't remember me?" An Wenzhao deliberately stepped forward, pointed to the north and said:

"The last time I was a little girl, I jumped off such a high wall with a 'bang', and I saw a hairpin." An Wenzhao gestured exaggeratedly while groping his body with his hand.

"It's you! Did you pick up my hairpin? Where, give it back to me. ”

"I can't find it......" An Wenzhao fumbled for a long time, but didn't find anything.

"Did you just lose it? There was no hope of finding my parents. After Qin Liusu finished speaking, he sat down on the stone bench by the pavilion in discouragement.

"Parents? Aren't my parents your parents? I'm your brother. Hey, hey—"

No matter how An Wenzhao teased her, Qin Liusu still didn't speak.

"Probably stupid, my brain was broken." An Wenzhao shook his head, deliberately glanced at his mouth, and walked away boringly.

On this day, the Anyang Hou Mansion was filled with a strong sense of festivity. In order to officially accept Qin Liusu as their daughter, the caring An Wenxun couple specially prepared a ceremony.

Bilian helped Qin Liusu change into clean and decent beautiful clothes, straightened her bun, wiped her rouge gouache, and finally put on the hairpin that An Wenzhao picked up and handed over to Bilian a few days ago.

"Miss, this hairpin, the young master picked it up and handed it to me, and the young master will become your good brother." Bilian smiled happily.

Hearing this, Qin Liusu remembered An Wenzhao's indecent appearance that day, and he laughed unconsciously.

On the top of the main hall, An Wenxun and Mrs. An each sat on one side, and the next person stood with two cups of tea.

Qin Liusu first knelt in front of An Wenxun, kowtowed, toasted tea, called "Dad", and then made the same salute to Mrs. An, and the ceremony was completed.
