Qin Mobao took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued: "I'll give you a question, for example, you are now a Zhengsanpin Shuntian Mansion Yin in Kyoto, and there is a person who broke the law and intentionally killed people. How do you judge? ”

"A capital offense!" What is there to hesitate about? According to the law of the Great Zhou, murder is a capital crime.

"But this guy has a backstage, a backstage and a tough backstage. For example, if this person is a relative of a certain prince, or even a relative of the emperor, will you still be sentenced to death? Qin Mobao continued to ask questions.

"That's right!" Zhang Sanzhong nodded seriously, "Isn't it often said in the book that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people?" How much more so are they. ”

"......" Qin Mobao patted Zhang Sanzhong on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Sir, you ...... Or don't go to Kyoto? ”

"Why?" Zhang Sanzhong's beautiful face was full of incomprehension. Why did he not want to go to Kyoto?

"I'm afraid you'll have no body." Qin Mobao looked at Zhang Sanzhong, his expression was rare and serious.

After listening to Qin Mobao's words, Zhang Sanzhong was even more confused. looked at Qin Mobao blankly.

"Don't understand?" Qin Mobao knew that he didn't understand the mystery when he saw his bewildered look. This dead read. A scholar who reads a dead book.

Zhang Sanzhong nodded, "Hmm." ”

"You killed all your relatives, they still don't hate you to death, and they don't want to kill them by any means?"

"But that person broke the law, and I didn't break the law, how did they kill me?" Zhang Sanzhong argued.

Qin Mobao raised his forehead, "Big brother!" Do you know that there is a sin called it, and there is no excuse for the sin that you want to add? There is also a kind of official, who can crush a piece of people to death at the level of an official. In Kyoto, if you don't have power and don't have power, your life won't be safe, but if you're power, then you're sorry for the people. That's why my dad quit the bustling city of Kyoto and returned to his hometown. ”

Zhang Sanzhong felt his heart pounding. It's a mess in my head.

The first time I talked about officialdom, things were really beyond imagination.

After a long time, Qin Mobao didn't see Zhang Sanzhong come back to his senses, and secretly exclaimed, did he say too ruthlessly?

You won't be hit!

Qin Mobao hurriedly reached out and pushed him. Let him come back to his senses.

A breeze blew. There was a slight chill on his body.

Reaching out and touching his forehead, Zhang Sanzhong realized that he was sweating.

Zhang Sanzhong's face turned red and said embarrassedly: "It's the first time I've heard about officialdom...... Let you ...... Jokes. ”

Qin Mobao smiled, "No jokes, no jokes." Actually, I'm not exactly what I'm talking about, half of it is bluffing you. Qin Mobao was afraid that he would be depressed, so he hurriedly said.

Zhang Sanzhong smiled and didn't speak.

"Miss, Mr. Zhang." Cui'er didn't know when she entered the courtyard and came to her side.

"Zhang Gongzi, the carriage is ready. Do you think you're going back now or a little later? ”

"Go back? Sir is going home? "Why didn't she hear that Zhang Sanzhong was going home. Is it understandable that he came home and that she could take a few days off?

If that's the case, it's nice to think about.

Zhang Sanzhong got up and smiled, "I took leave with adults yesterday, I went home today, and I came early tomorrow morning." ”

"Mr. has been away from home for so many days, he should miss his family very much, so it is better for Mr. to accompany his family more when he goes home this time. It's okay to stay a few more days. ”

So he went home for the night. She plays with yarn.

"No, one night is enough." Zhang Sanzhong didn't know what Qin Mobao was thinking, he just wanted him to take leave, so she could play justifiably.

It's just that Lord Qin handed her over to him, and he had to be worthy of Lord Qin's trust in him.

Depend on!

She thought badly that Zhang Sanzhong would catch a cold at night and catch a cold tomorrow, preferably the kind that had a severe cold and couldn't walk. Of course, the kind that will be fine in a few days.

Although this idea is a bit unkind, but there is no way, she is going crazy. I haven't been out of the house for a few days.

Qin Mobao stared at Zhang Sanzhong's back as he walked farther and farther away, his teeth itching.

Pedantic scholars!

"Cui'er, let someone fetch a bucket of hot water to Jingting Courtyard, Miss Ben wants to bathe. Go to the fire! Qin Mobao got up and commanded Cui'er.

"Oh" Miss is so pathetic. Cui'er looked at Qin Mobao's back as she left and shook her head. The master is really studying and learning, why is the young lady not allowed to go out of the house?

Qin Mobao took a bath and used kindness. I went to Chophong Temple again.

She hadn't been to see Erniang for many days, and she didn't know how she had studied.

Qin Mobao led Cui'er to Qiupeng Courtyard leisurely.

However, Cao Fang was not in the courtyard. Qin Mobao learned from the maid in Qiupeng Courtyard that Cao Fang had gone to the old lady.

Qin Mobao naturally led Cui'er to Qingfeng Zhai and joined in the fun.

When Qin Mobao arrived at Qingfeng Zhai, he heard laughter coming from the house outside the door.

I don't know what the second aunt said, making the old lady so happy.

It seems that the second aunt's temperament has changed a lot, at least it will make people happy. No longer as weak as before, and dare not speak when I see people.

Qin Mobao's arrival. Of course, it makes the atmosphere even more lively.

The old lady asked Qin Mobao what he had studied recently. How did you learn.

Qin Mobao replied one by one, and also talked about how to bully Zhang Sanzhong in the middle, making the old lady laugh.

The old lady's doting slender old fingers poked Qin Mobao's forehead, "You! I don't know what else I want me to say about you. ”

The three of them chatted for a while, and then went back to the courtyard.

Nothing was said all night.

On the second day, Qin Mobao was on three poles and woke up leisurely. Since Zhang Sanzhong became her teacher, she has not slept until she wakes up naturally.

"Cui'er." Qin Mobao called at the bead curtain.

Cui'er, who was busy outside, heard the shouts of the young lady. Hurried in.

"Miss woke up. The slave and maid will wait for you to get up. ”

Cui'er stepped forward and wanted to dress Qin Mobao who had uncovered the quilt?

Qin Mobao didn't accept her kindness.

"Cui'er, why didn't Zhang Sanzhong come today?" Before dawn on weekdays, Zhang Sanzhong had already arrived in her yard and asked people to call her to get up.

Cui'er, who was cleaning up the bed, turned her head when she heard the words and said, "In the morning, the master asked someone to come over to spread the word, saying that Zhang Gongzi had a cold last night and contracted a cold, and he would not come to Qin's Mansion for a few days. ”

Qin Mobao, who was rinsing his mouth, almost swallowed the water in his mouth into his stomach.

Do you want to be so spiritual?

That's what she thought yesterday. It worked today, and it was even more effective than the villain.

Qin Mobao felt a little guilty, but more joyful.

Cold! It's not a big deal, just take a few medicines.

So Qin Mobao didn't think much about it and had breakfast. led Cui'er to the study to find Qin Hao.

"I've seen Miss." When the two Xiao Si guarding the study saw Qin Mobao, they immediately blessed themselves and asked for peace.

Qin Mobao nodded, and then asked, "Is my father inside?" ”

"The master is here." One of them replied. "The little ones will go in and report it." Xiao Si turned around, pushed open the door and went in to report.

After a while, I saw Xiao Si walking out of the study, "The master said that Miss is very peaceful during this time, so Miss wants to leave the house today." Just a little, don't cause trouble. Xiao Si repeated his master's words word for word.

Qin Mobao smiled at the door of the study and shouted, "Thank you, Dad!" ”

Is he that old? Qin Hao shook his head helplessly. When will this child grow up?

Qin Mobao asked Cui'er to go to the housekeeper to get some silver taels.

The two of them didn't go out for a long time, and of course they went to the most lively market in Yuyang County.

I didn't come back until I walked around to Wanjia and got on the lights. When they went out, the two swaggered and went empty-handed.

When he came back, a carriage stopped at the gate of the Qin Mansion, and Cui'er got out of the carriage first, and then helped Qin Mobao down.

"You two come over and move the things in the car to Jingting Courtyard." Qin Mobao summoned the two Xiao Si at the door and ordered.

"Yes, miss." The two doorkeepers answered, and they got busy.

Xu hadn't gone out to shop for a long time, and Qin Mobao felt that shopping was so enjoyable.

The money Cui'er took from the butler, plus the carriage money she had just paid, was exactly one or two left.

Rich and capricious!

In the few days when Zhang Sanzhong was on sick leave, Qin Mobao almost visited Yuyang County.

She went to everything she could, but she couldn't.

During the day, she led Cui'er out of the house to eat, drink and have fun, and at night, she went to the Qinglou and the gambling house alone over the wall. Of course, she is a woman dressed as a man.

Otherwise, the news that Miss Qin visited the brothel in the middle of the night spread out, and her father didn't chop her.

Go to Cuihong Township one is: to see, the fragrance that I didn't have the chance to see that day.

The moment he saw Hanxiang, Qin Mobao felt that this woman was ...... That's it.

The second is: It is said that there is a strange woman in Qinglou since ancient times.

Qin Mobao ordered all the girls in Cuihong Township. After watching them one by one, I finally came to the conclusion, how did these girls become famous?

Whether it's temperament or appearance. Qin Mobao felt that the old bustard in Cuihong Township was even better.

Casinos.

The voices are boiling, and the arowana is mixed. Qin Mobao walked around the gambling house, and there were shouts everywhere about betting big and small, buying and leaving.

Qin Mobao used only one or two taels of silver to try it out in a place where there were not too many people at the table. Luck was not bad, winning dozens of taels of silver.

Qin Mobao was not greedy, she just came to the gambling house to see how the ancient times with backward technology gambled money.

Ten days have passed, and Zhang Sanzhong has not yet come to the Qin Mansion.

Qin Mobao embroidered his eyebrows and twisted lightly. According to her understanding of Zhang Sanzhong, she should not have taken so many days off because of illness.

Even if you're sick, it's been so many days, you should be fine.

Qin Mobao thought about it, and always felt that something was wrong.

"Cui'er, who was the driver who sent Mr. home that day?"

"It's the white old man in the house. What's wrong? Miss. Cui'er replied honestly. In other words, Zhang Gongzi hasn't come to Qin Mansion for so many days, so it won't be ...... I'm very sick! Cui'er was worried.

"You go and call Old Man Bai, I have something to ask him. Qin Mobao reached out and picked a leaf on the peach tree and played with it in his hand.

"Oh," Cui'er replied and went.

Qin Mobao put the leaf in his hand between his lips and blew it gently.

The melody is beautiful and clear, like the sound of flowing water in the mountains on a summer day.

It's her favorite tune.

But......

Why did she like this tune?

It always feels like it's because of someone.

Before the song ended, Cui'er had returned.

"Miss, old man Bai is here."

Qin Mobao stopped the song he was playing, took the leaf between his lips, and turned to look at the old man Bai that Cui'er had attracted.

"Bai Qin has seen Miss." The old man took a step forward and knelt down to salute Qin Mobao.

"Get up! You don't have to bow so much to me at your age. Qin Mobao motioned to Cui'er to help the old man up with his eyes.

"Zhang Sanzhong, Zhang Gongzi went home that evening, and you sent him back?"

"Miss Hui, yes." The old man stood on the side and hunched over.

"Miss Ben remembers that when Mr. went back that day, he was fine, and his body was not the same, why did he get sick when he got home?" Qin Mobao said as he paid attention to the old man's expression.

The old man is an honest man. Originally, he would not have lied, but he was asked by Qin Mobao like this.

I don't know what to say.

Qin Mobao saw that his wrinkled face was full of complicated expressions. The look of fear was predominant, so he gave him a reassurance

"Just say it, Miss Ben won't blame you. Don't let things implicate you."

The old man got Qin Mobao's permission, so he was relieved and boldly told what happened that evening from beginning to end.
