Chapter 17: The Cold in the High Places (5)

His demeanor is calm and natural, and his belief is firm between success and failure, calm and indifferent, so that people are moved, and he is dressed in white and overwhelms the world, and after a while, his eyes converge on a trace of Lingxi, simple but not like ordinary people, and he is proud to lead a past Minghui, "If it comes, it will be safe, if it is trapped on all sides, why not take a gamble." "The county lord doesn't already have an answer in his heart, so why do you need Feng Lian to say more." Desperate, his words are extremely simple but what she thinks is extremely powerful, just like a lonely boat in the sea that finally docks, every word and deed at this moment is felt by body and mind, confusion disappears suddenly, from no way out, and then to the dust settles as relieved, because of his spirit, and that moment of shock, that is serious, this is undoubted, the snow white between the gestures, the kind of white, full of depth, but also full of mystery, for white, his forbearance, only in the dark, his gentleness, It is a sea, quiet and turbulent, quiet on the surface, turbulent in the connotation.

Qiu Cheng was pleased, is it a gamble. If it was an enemy, then she admired his mind and bearing, and thought silently in her heart, hope... Let's not be enemies.

Early in the morning, there was still a light rain in the sky, Qiu Cheng was busy, Steward Chen sorted out the place above according to the number of people, just took advantage of this matter, and the people in the house came to draw blood, last night she looked at the list transcribed by Fenglian overnight, in addition to everyone's surname and original name, hobbies and some unknown secrets, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, so it was written on it.

Hua Li took it, the oil-paper umbrella in Steward Chen's hand, just when he was about to go out, a sharp voice called out forcefully, the person who came was Yizhi, from the other garden to the main gate, the distance was not close, her pace was still very fast, Yizhi lowered slightly, "This is Gongzi asked me to transfer it to the county lord, Gongzi said that it is outside, maybe it can be used." ”

"Help me tell your son-in-law, and say that I have received the things." I don't know what it's in, but since it's useful, I'll definitely use it. Fortunately, the rain in the sky is not heavy, as thin as a cow's hair, walking in the rain with an oil-paper umbrella to support the rain, Qiu Cheng did not go from the main entrance, but chose to enter from the back door, there are too many people at the main entrance, where are the babies and children yesterday. When I got out of the carriage, I saw that there was already someone waiting at the back door, so take me to meet your master. Childe, please wait. The box that Yizhi brought just now, which contained a human skin mask, often came and went here with some young ladies or courtiers of the official eunuchs, yesterday she had been thinking about how to solve these things, but she didn't think of it, what to do if she was recognized? And the squire did not doubt who he was, but recognized himself at a glance, and it was already conceivable that the squire must have been trained.

Walked for a while, the rain is getting heavier, the people in the pavilion have already set up the chess pieces on the chessboard, just waiting for people to come, the rain is like a ribbon pouring down from the eaves of the house, a wisp of silk play line, the baby at the door has also been moved to the corner outside the pavilion to endure the bitter cold, the eyes of the people in the pavilion are a little evil and weird, seeing people coming, only a deep smile, which makes people feel a little ill-intentioned. And he didn't even recognize the wrong person, like the attendant at the back door, he knew that he was easy to look at but still recognized it at a glance, his smile revealed cunning without the slightest concealment for people to see, "Did the county lord sleep well last night?" ”

Qiu Cheng thought to himself, he didn't ask knowingly, "It's okay." ”

After that, he smiled meaningfully, Qiu Cheng didn't like his smile, always revealing a weird and gloomy one, "I don't know what the contract between the county lord and Chu is thinking?" "Now he can still ask himself so fearlessly, just because he doesn't have to do it himself, he thinks that someone will do it for him, and no matter what, the emperor will know in the end.

"It's better for the county lord to sit down and talk to Chu, this is the tea that Chu made from collecting rainwater this morning."

The ground was a little sticky, Qiu Cheng didn't want to stand, but she didn't want to talk to Chu Jin too much after all, but after a while, Qiu Cheng sat down and looked at Chu Jin and said firmly, "I agree with your conditions, except for household registration and silver two, but I still want one person, as for what they will do in the future, I have the final say." ”

Chu Jin felt a little unsmiling when he heard this, most of the people who do business are like this, and they all hope to exchange the least price for the most benefits, "Then Chu has listened to me all over again, who does the county lord want?" ”

Yesterday, I saw Chu Jin's style, even if I felt pressured, there was nothing to be afraid of, and he stretched out his hand to a corner of the depths of the rain, "It's that kid." ”

Chu Jin was surprised, "When did the county lord like babies again?" ”

"This is my business and it has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to worry about anything else, just say whether you agree or not." Qiu Cheng thought that if she didn't take them away according to the deed, these people had to stay by her side for three years before they could leave, and she accepted the so-called male pets, she knew the answer from the beginning and didn't want to bring everyone into the house, even if she came, it was destined to cause a lot of trouble, it was better to take this opportunity to find a few helpers in the name of Master Li's preference for men, if she blatantly looked for it, she might be deliberately arranged, and those who could already do things were mostly educated, so she couldn't, so she could only find a young person, If you haven't been taught yet, you can not only be heartfelt to yourself, but also teach yourself what you want. She had been observing the child for some time, and her patience with the cold showed that he had perseverance, and that he was only a child, and after a while he would be forgotten, and by the time he became an adult, no one would remember what he was like.

Chu Jin frowned and was extremely unhappy, "If the county lord can win over Chu in chess, then Chu will agree to the county lord." ”

Playing chess, Qiu Cheng smiled, "Okay, I promise you." ”

said insidiously, "Then Chu went first." "He first, so that he can explore his strength first, yesterday Feng Lian thought of it, he might use chess to embarrass himself, but Chu Jin didn't know that Feng Lian told Qiu Cheng yesterday that even if Qiu Cheng didn't know, he could win Chu Jin....

After a long time, the rain stopped, saving half a pen. "Chu Jin doesn't know, the county lord is proficient in chess."

"I won the prize, and I won by narrowly." She was right, she did win narrowly just now, she was afraid that Chu Jin would suspect that Feng Lian taught her last night that she didn't exactly follow what Feng Lian said, she had accidentally seen Feng Lian play chess before, and she would know a little, so that even if she was questioned, she could be said to be a fluke, "It's just a fluke." ”

As a result, Chu had nothing to say. Listening to Chu Jin's words, he seemed to believe in his own strength, and he said that it was a fluke, but he didn't have any doubts, it seemed that he had found the right person. I just hope that this matter will pass for the time being, "The master has agreed, and in three days I will let the carriage wait at the back door, and the butler will carry their things onto the car, and then enter through the back door of the mansion," she meant very simply, meaning not to be too quiet. Chu Jin has been in officialdom for a long time, so he naturally understands the meaning of Qiu Cheng.

"County Lord, see you in three days, Chu has taken his leave."

Three days later, she should also find a place to settle them, she discussed with Fenglian for a night, first redeemed herself, and then found someone to admit this confused account for her, and placed them in the name of this person, although she recognized it was indeed a borrowed name, the place still had to be found, and after three years they left separately, but Qiu Cheng didn't know that there were things and how could she easily follow her wishes.
