"The disciple has something important to ask to see Mr., I wonder if it is convenient for Mr. at this moment?"

Seeing that Dongfang Bai, who was only six years old, still looked at him with a blank look, and asked for instructions in a polite manner, Chen Fugui was also the same as Xia Jingyun at the beginning, feeling the excellence of the royal education, and at the same time a little apprehensive, for fear that these gentlemen would not agree.

Mr. Linxi met with him and inquired about the situation.

Chen Fugui stepped forward at this time, told the truth about his understanding, and then knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "I know that the son did not harm the son of the Qin family, but now, he was framed and entered the black ice platform. Therefore, in the next fight, please ask the three gentlemen to say a word or two to the Qin family, not to be able to exonerate the son, but to let him participate in the Spring Festival, and then interrogate! ”

Mr. Linxi silently listened to Chen Fugui's story, and recalled that young man who was full of spirit, talent, and at the same time won their approval, "I need to discuss it." ”

Chen Fugui waited anxiously, Dongfang Bai also had a bitter face, and said with concern: "How many days has Uncle been in?" ”

"I was invited into the Black Ice Platform the night before yesterday, and today is the third day."

"What did the concubine say?"

"I don't want to alarm Concubine De for the time being, but I think Niangniang already knows."

Dongfang Bai's expression was firm, "You don't have to worry, the mother concubine and I will definitely work hard to rescue my uncle!" ”

Being comforted by a six-year-old child, Chen Fugui didn't feel strange in his heart, and nodded, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

And the final decision of the three old gentlemen did not disappoint Chen Fugui, who originally thought that only one person would be happy enough, but he saw the three old gentlemen dressed neatly and came together.

——

On the fourth day of the second lunar month, there are still 14 days before the beginning of spring.

In the Qin Mansion, Qin Li had already been released yesterday.

After doing all the drama and kneeling all night, she was weakly escorted back to the room by the maids.

And looking at the embarrassed appearance of the proud daughter of the heavens who was once undisputed in the clan, many people in the clan were chattering and gloating.

A small number of people are beginning to dream of replacing them.

Under the double attack of wind cold and exhaustion, Qin Li fell asleep in a warm and comfortable bed for nearly a day and a night, and took medicine twice to recover.

Glancing at the servant girl lying on the table beside her, she sat up silently, leaned on the head of the bed, silently recalled in her heart what her grandfather had said that night, and then, according to her own understanding, began to plan her next move.

It's not that she didn't suspect that her grandfather wanted to bet in many ways, but she didn't think it was a problem, because she did feel that Concubine De and Gongzi Xia were good partners, and if she had to choose one, she would rather the Qin family cooperate with them.

As long as Grandpa has this idea, she will find a way to make it happen.

Just as she was thinking about it, the maid saw that she was awake, subconsciously wiped the corners of her mouth, and came over in surprise, "Miss, you are awake!" ”

Qin Li smiled, "I'm not sick, so I don't have to be so nervous." ”

The maidservant hurriedly said: "That's not it, you came out of the ancestral hall yesterday, that face, with a want."

The servant girl almost said that she was scooped, so she quickly took it.

Qin Li chuckled, "Was there anything going on in the house yesterday?" ”

The maidservant said: "Early yesterday morning, Lord Shangshuwei of the Ministry of Household and Lord Shangshu Wang of the Ministry of Rites came to visit the mansion, but the old man spoke and did not let them in. At noon, a clan elder meeting was held, and someone proposed at the meeting to set up a new family heir to calm the hearts of the clan, but was directly scolded back by the old man, saying that the top priority now is to avenge the eldest prince, this matter is related to the face of the Qin family, and the rest of the things will be talked about after this matter. ”

Qin Li listened quietly and was silent for a moment, "Prepare some hot water, I want to take a bath." ”

In the warmth of the room, water vapor rises slowly from the large tub, as if in the bathroom, a few faint tulles are hung.

The tulle looms out, adding to the style.

Jet-black hair, rosy lips;

Fair skin, delicate people;

The large expanses of snow-white skin and the red petals covering the water surface collide with an astonishing visual allure.

Droplets of water flowed gently down the skin into the bright red petals, and some of them dripped on the slightly lighter buds hidden in the petals.

Qin Li sat back in the bathtub, his eyes slightly closed, and he couldn't help but feel a little more worried.

The weight of the two Shangshu seems to be far from qualified in Grandpa's heart.

However, what kind of chips can Concubine De Niangniang give?

If you can't impress grandpa, is it true that Xia Gongzi can't participate in the Spring Festival and waste three years?

If what Grandpa told him was true, he would definitely not act like this, so how should this scene end?

What can I do about it?

Just as Qin Li's thoughts rippled with the water waves, the maidservant came over and knocked on the door.

"Miss, the three old gentlemen from Jiaodong County King and Tushan are here, and I happened to hear it when the steward went to pass it on just now."

Qin Li raised his eyebrows and stood up from the bathtub.

There was a splash, and some droplets were shaken and fell.

Chen Fugui looked at the door that was still closed, although he knew that the child next to him was the honor of the prince, although he knew that the three old gentlemen beside him were the literary giants who even His Majesty had to give face, he was inevitably a little nervous in his heart, and he spun his heels uneasily under the mentality of success or failure.

Fortunately, the name of Tushan Sanjie is really not covered, if you stop here, whether you are a prince or a wealthy businessman, if you want to mix in the scene, then no one dares to take it seriously.

The door of the Qin family finally opened slowly, and the old family head of Qin, who was dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, greeted the current head of the Qin family in person.

After a salute, Mr. Linxi also said skillfully: "The Qin family has been loyal and patriotic for many years, abiding by virtue, and can be a model for relatives. ”

Mr. Wanlin and Mr. Kongbi also bowed their hands together, "The old master of Qin mourns." ”

With their prestige among Shilin, these words can be said to add a big halo to the Qin family and give them a big gift.

Although this thing can't be eaten as a meal, it is never that meal that the family lacks.

The old master of Qin naturally understood, and hurriedly saluted and thanked him, "Thank you Mr. Linxi, Mr. Wanlin, Mr. Kongbi, thank you King of Jiaodong, please enter the mansion." ”

Led everyone into the main hall and sat down, the old master of Qin apologized and said: "Because the murderer has not yet been punished, so the Qin family has not set up a mourning hall, the virtues of the three gentlemen are highly respected, and my unsuccessful grandson can't stand it, let's drink tea and talk here." ”

He looked at the three old gentlemen and took the initiative to say, "The three gentlemen must have come for Mr. Xia?" ”

Mr. Linxi, who originally thought that he would be taken care of, was quite grateful, and nodded: "Xia Gongzi is extraordinary, and his talent can be the choice of the moment, but at this juncture, it is a pity that he cannot participate in the Spring Festival and serve the country." What's more, according to the opinion of the three old husbands, Xia Gongzi should not be a murderer, can Brother Qin allow him to participate in the Spring Festival, and after the Spring Festival, it is not too late to go to prison to be convicted, and the three old husbands can guarantee him and will not let him escape the review of the law. ”

The old master of the Qin family stood up and saluted the three of them, "The three gentlemen's high style and bright festival are really admirable. And the virtue of the three who promote the future is also worthy of the name of the titan in the literary world. Today, when we come to my Qin family, my Qin family is full of brilliance, but this statement really makes it difficult to make a decision. ”

He explained: "For the three gentlemen, this is the case of a young man who has been unjustly imprisoned, so that he has missed his youth and wasted his youth. As a party to the matter, the Qin family should put the family and the country first, and open the door of convenience a little, so that they can refer to the Spring Festival, and then carry out the trial. If it is clear afterwards that he is innocent, he can be cheap, and if he is really guilty, he will be guilty again, right? ”

Mr. Linxi nodded.

The old master of the Qin family continued: "But what if the three gentlemen stand on the side of my Qin family? The eldest son died on the street, the heir of the long house was broken, and the corpse was still in the house and could not be buried, and all he wanted was revenge. Your Majesty is merciful, and the three divisions are specially ordered to interrogate, and the most direct clue falls on Xia Gongzi, Xia Gongzi is in prison to be investigated, can my Qin family write to Your Majesty at this moment, ask for his guilt, and interfere with the trial of Yousi? If there is a division that finds out the truth and feels that Xia Gongzi is not guilty, release him, and find the real culprit, there will be no objection to it, but if it is released like this, for my Qin family, if justice cannot be done for the death of a loved one, how can we unite people's hearts? How are the people at peace? ”

He sighed, "It's not a secret, there are clan elders in the clan today who have another mind and want to compete for the position of the head of the family. ”

"The request of the three gentlemen, it is said that I should be full of promises, but if I agree, I am afraid that the cohesion of the whole Qin family will not exist, and the reputation accumulated by the ancestors over the generations will be difficult to protect."

After speaking, he gave a long swipe to the three old gentlemen, "Please forgive the three gentlemen, please forgive the king of Jiaodong County!" ”

Mr. Linxi wanted to speak and stopped, but after all, he still didn't speak, and sighed, "That's it, today's matter, I don't have to think about it, take the liberty to bother, and say goodbye!" ”

After speaking, he returned a salute to the old master of Qin, and turned to leave.

Mr. Wanlin and Mr. Kongbi also returned the salute and walked out.

Dongfang Bai wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't speak, returned the salute, turned around and followed out.

Personally sending everyone out, the head of the Qin family looked worried, "Father, just refused?" This is the three heroes of Tushan! ”

The old master of Qin pursed his lips, obviously the pressure was not small, "It's not enough, wait, wait." ”

"How's it going?"

Qin Li, who had changed into a green dress, looked at the maidservant who went to inquire about the news, with a concerned expression.

"I heard that the old man rejected the other party, and now the three old gentlemen have left with the king of Jiaodong County."

Qin Li's heart was shocked, and after a little pondering, he immediately got up, "Clean up and go out with me." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Just follow it!"

After a while, outside the gate of the Black Ice Terrace, the maid's legs were frightened, and she hugged Qin Li's arm, "Miss, what are we doing here?" ”

She swallowed, "Yes, Laifu said a few days ago that he likes me and wants to live with me, I see that he is strong and a little tempted, but I didn't promise him, there is nothing between us, you can't send me here, right?" ”

Qin Li, who didn't expect that there was an unexpected gain, turned his head to look, the corners of his eyes trembled, hesitated for a while, and really didn't walk in, but turned to the coachman and said, "Go to Jiang'an Hou's Mansion." ”

The coachman did not hesitate, as if he also left with some fear of wanting to flee quickly.

When she arrived at the Hou Mansion in Jiang'an, like last time, she was still greeted by the unkind eyes of everyone in the Hou Mansion.

But the difference is that Feng Xiuyun welcomed her in this time.

Feng Xiuyun did not put on a shelf of the main house, but came to the gazebo in the backyard, retreated to the left and right, and the two women sat opposite each other.

Within a hundred paces around, there was no one.

Feng Xiuyun said the opening remarks, as if he was explaining why he acted like this, "According to his praise for you, when you come to the Hou Mansion at this time, you must have something to learn." ”

Qin Li smiled slightly, "I have heard for a long time that Miss Feng was the head of Shanggongtai, she acted intelligently and decisively, and she was always relied on by Concubine De. ”

Feng Xiuyun, who had just received the news that Tu Shan Sanjie had returned in vain, was upset, and frowned slightly when he heard this, "He is still suffering on death row on the Black Ice Terrace, and I am not in the mood to go around in circles with Miss Qin." ”

Qin Li opened his mouth and said: "As long as Xia Gongzi has nothing to do with the death of the eldest brother, I will do my best to help Xia Gongzi get out of trouble." ”

After careful consideration, she did not lay out the whole plan and inventory, but chose another way:

It's as if she herself made a decision against her ancestors.

Feng Xiuyun's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Really? ”

It was originally written, deleted, and rewritten, but I was still not satisfied, but there was no way, and the frequency of updates on the web could not be refined, so be it.

Organize your thoughts in the evening and get back on the road tomorrow.
