When night falls, thousands of lights come together, located on the edge of the Li River, one of the three-entry houses, the lights are bright, but there are few voices inside.

"Changkong, are you sure you want to live here?" Qi Qian looked at the man who almost blended in with the night and asked, "Although the environment here is quiet, it is a little smaller." ”

Yu Changkong didn't look back, and said: "It's just a place to stay for the time being, and I don't like too many people around me to follow and serve, a small courtyard is enough." ”

"But ......"

"Besides, I'm a blind waste, and I don't live the same anywhere?" Yu Changkong's voice was light and cold.

Qi Qian choked and said, "Don't ask the master to cure your eye disease." ”

Yu Changkong didn't answer, and didn't seem to have much to look forward to.

"Anyway, I don't bother to go to live in the other courtyard prepared by Yu's family, so I will live here with you, and I will go to Qingpingguan with you tomorrow." Qi Qian said.

Yu Changkong finally turned his head, his eyelids twitched slightly, and he lowered his eyelids, "Are you sure you're here to do something?" ”

Meaning, how can you be so idle, and you have to accompany him to the Taoist temple to seek medical treatment.

Qi Qian's face was hot, and he said, "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning." ”

Yu Changkong stopped talking.

At that time, Qi Qian was called away by Yingbei.

Quartet took out a cloak, put it on Yu Changkong, and said, "Childe, it's windy, why don't you go into the house?" ”

Yu Changkong said: "Will the sound of bamboo outside stay all night?" ”

The Quartet followed his line of sight, and the sound of silk and bamboo was absent, so he said: "There are two painting boats in front, it should be quite late, right, but Childe is too noisy?" I asked Uncle Qian to find another house? ”

"No need, it's better not to disperse, otherwise this long night is long, and I don't know how to get through it."

"Childe ......" Quartet was a little sad.

Yu Changkong turned around and entered the house and said, "Moreover, I don't want to come and live for a long time." ”

The Quartet was in a heart and followed.

……

Qi Qian was listening to the information obtained by the fire wolf's investigation.

“…… It was also a coincidence that when we entered the city, the Qin family had a conflict with the people of the Zhao family. ”

"The Zhao family?" Qi Qian's action of serving tea paused.

"It's Zhao Ping, the same acquaintance of Licheng, he is the cousin of the third grandmother of the Meng family, this Zhao family is a henchman of the Meng family, if you want to talk about today's matter, it is still the Zhao family that is unreasonable first." The fire wolf's tone was a little disdainful.

"How?"

"When I entered the city today, this Mrs. Qin, that is, Qin Bohong's wife, heard that she and Mrs. Qin went to Wuxiang Temple to worship the Buddha and return to the city, and they also lined up normally to enter the city, and the carriage of the Zhao family collided. In the carriage of the Zhao family, it was not the Zhao family, but Zhao Tongzhi's sister-in-law, the Zheng family, who came to visit Mrs. Zhao. ”

"That little Zheng is arrogant and domineering, and I learned the identity of Mrs. Qin from the servants of the Zhao family, even if Mrs. Qin retreated, she still refused to give up, and she had to kowtow and admit her mistakes."

When Qi Qian heard this, his face showed disgust, and he said, "Dogs fight people." Zhao Tongzhi is just the cousin of the third grandmother of Meng, who is related to the Meng family, and even his in-laws and relatives are arrogant. ”

"Yes, everyone in the world is red and white, but a sister-in-law of Zhao Tongzhi can bully people like this, and if it is a bigger henchman of other officials, I don't know how majestic it is." The fire wolf also sighed.

Zhao Tong knows how big an official he is, but he is only a five-grade official, and his sister-in-law can rely on him to bully and bully like this, so what about other higher officials?

Qi Qian lit the pattern of the teacup, thinking that this is probably just the tip of the iceberg, Concubine Meng is favored, and even the Meng family is also beautiful, his faction, I am afraid that it is the same.

Qi Qian was disgusted in his heart, and took a sip of tea, although he didn't look down on the Montessori faction to invite favors with women, but he didn't dare to say that the saint was mediocre.

"What about this Qin family?"

"The Qin family has been closed since returning to Licheng, very low-key, today is the first time to go out of the city to worship the Buddha, but I don't want to meet the Zhao family party who is not compatible with the Qin family. The Qin family has offended the Zhao family, and it is a room full of old and weak women and children, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Licheng in the future. The fire wolf replied: "In addition, the Qin family seems to want to visit Mrs. Ding, and it happened to be the time when we met the Ding family at the post station before the autumn festival. ”

Qi Qian immediately understood, but he was afraid that the Ding family deliberately avoided it, otherwise the old lady Ding would have gone to the state capital to celebrate the autumn festival at that time, afraid that she would be hated by the Meng family if she had dealings with the Qin family.

The wall is pushed down, and the world is hot and cold.

"The Qin family has been confiscated from their property, and now this old mansion is only for women, the old and weak, what do they do for a living?" Qi Qian asked again.

The fire wolf said: "Although the Qin family came suddenly, not everyone avoided it, when they left Beijing, there will always be someone who will help a little privately, but life is harder." Huoying They found out that the Qin family bought some fertile land in the next county and hung it in the name of the head of the old mansion, in addition, the aunt and grandmother of the Qin family who were abandoned by the Song family also found a job in the restaurant. ”

Qi Qian said: "Except for the exiled men, who else is there in the Qin family now?" ”

"Qin Bohong has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son has just turned twelve, and he has also been exiled, but this eldest daughter is ......," the fire wolf said and paused.

Qi Qian looked over: "What's wrong?" ”

Something flashed in the fire wolf's mind, so fast that he couldn't catch it, so he shook his head and said: "This eldest daughter of the long house is a little strange, I heard that she has been fostered in the old mansion since she was a child because of her poor health, and before the Qin family came back, she lived with the servants in the old mansion by herself, and she lived in a simple house, and she never returned to Beijing, and she was rarely in front of people. ”

"Alone?" Qi Qian also felt a little weird.

The fire wolf nodded: "The fire eagle didn't find anything, but I only know that the Qin family has a woman who is fostered in the old mansion, and her body and eight characters are not very good." ”

Qi Qian sneered: "Then the Qin family is too ruthless, leaving a little girl in the old mansion to live, and saying that to raise her body, is it to push her to death?" ”

"After all, it's a matter of internal affairs, and Fire Eagle hasn't studied it deeply, in fact, this is not unusual, and the rest of the families are not without similar things. The girl of the Qin family seems to be still a concubine, if she is not a problem with her body, it is that she looks like she has no salt or has some defects, but this is also due to the fact that she was sent at a young age, and if she is a half-grown girl, it will be even more criticized and spread indiscriminately. The fire wolf sighed.

The unsalted master touched a handsome face and took a sip, his lame eyes were sick and could be cured.

Qi Qian was silent for a moment, and understood what he meant by this, it was nothing more than saying that if the half-grown girl was sent away, I was afraid that something bad would happen to her reputation and her reputation.

The world's eyes are terrible, and the strict rules of the family pay more attention to the reputation of women.

Qi Qian had a flash of inspiration in his mind and asked, "What is the name of Qin Bohong's eldest daughter?" ”
