Volume 1 The Money Bag Case Chapter 22 This money bag is indeed mine
Nearly noon, from Xi and Qu in the dust, Lan Chu, from the beginning of the Qu Fu Garden, from Xi to look around, there are a lot of strange flowers and plants in the garden today, twenty or thirty ladies and ladies in gorgeous clothes or standing in the lace whispering, or in the pavilion to taste tea, or sit by the lake and watch, people are beautiful and delicate each competes for beauty, people are dazzled, and the heart is pleasant.
From Xi glanced around, I only recognized Mrs. Qu, Feng Nianqing, Yang Sizhen, Yang Sishan, Hang Zhitong, and Qu Miaozhi. Everyone saw a few people, looked up and down at Congxi, Qu Zaichen, and began to bow their heads and talk softly. Yang Sizhen looked at Qu Zaichen's gaze, there seemed to be calm in the hidden pain, Feng Nian stood alone in front of an orchid, since Qu Zaichen appeared, he stared at Qu Zaichen intently, there seemed to be thousands of complex emotions in his eyes, deep obsession and deep obsession, and it was difficult to let go if he wanted to retreat.
Congxi suddenly felt that no matter what, Feng Nian couldn't extricate himself from being afraid, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, and said in a low voice: "Qu Zaichen, I have a question I have always wanted to ask you, since the county lord is so affectionate to you, and you have no one in your heart, and it seems that you don't plan to like anyone, what if you married her in the first place, you are just a husband and wife, or a great joy for her?" ”
Qu Zaichen said lightly: "She is too obsessed, only fame or brings her temporary joy, and I am afraid that she will suffer for a lifetime, and I will be in trouble for a lifetime." Besides, how do you know that I don't have a heart? ”
Cong was stunned for a moment: "Doesn't the second son of Qu like to float on the clouds by himself, only the fairy in the clouds can enter your eyes, right?" ”
Qu Zaichen: "I never said that I am a person on the clouds, I have always been in the dust, but it is rare to meet a confidant, and I have always walked alone." ”
Congxi sighed: "So the county lord is not your confidant candidate, so the county lord is sad and pitiful, and it is not easy for her to empathize." By the way, do you know the young lady next to Hang Zhitong by the lake, she is so beautiful, I thought that several of your admirers were in love, just in terms of appearance, the county lord was the most outstanding, I didn't expect her to be more brilliant, and the lady and lady in the whole garden also counted her as the best-looking, she just peeked at you a few times, won't she also like you? ”
Qu Zaichen glanced at the woman, retracted his gaze, and said calmly: "Hang Zhiyue, Hang Zhitong's third sister."
Congxi stared at Hang Zhiyue and said: "People are more delicate than flowers, I feel pitiful." Looking at her, this girl is a little ashamed of herself, since you have known each other for a long time, the second son of Qu in the mortal world has never touched the dust heart?
Qu Zaichen said slowly: "In the eyes of the girl, I'm just a shallow ronin who judges people by their appearance? However, I was surprised, from the time when the girl was also ashamed of herself, from the girl didn't take the world as a stage, just to be comfortable and happy to dance, regardless of the level of the person, regardless of the opinion? ”
Congxi looked at Qu Zaichen in surprise, Qu Zaichen and Congxi looked at each other for a moment and said: "Hang Zhiyue is now taking over the business of the Hang family, I have business dealings with her, and I have negotiated twice in the teahouse, that's all." ”
Lan Chu next to him suddenly interjected: "I think it's still good-looking." ”
Congxi smiled: "Although it is biased towards me, thank you Sister Lan." ”
Congran nodded and agreed: "I also think that you are better looking, sister." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the top of the head.
Congxi said: "Do you think I look good at you, and I still keep staring at others, duplicitous, and want to be a little pervert?" ”
Congran was dissatisfied: "Sister, you are good-looking, and others are also good-looking, you often stare at many handsome sons on the road, and say that the beautiful scenery is not good to watch, so it is a waste of their skin, can't I also watch it?" ”
Congxi just wanted to refute two sentences, and heard Mrs. Qu shouting in the pavilion: "In the dust, you come here from Xi." ”
Congxi, Qu Zaichen, Congran, and Lan Chu walked up to the pavilion, in addition to Mrs. Qu in the pavilion, there were still four ladies in brocade clothes, who looked either rich or expensive, Qu Zaichen raised his hand and asked: I have seen my mother, I have seen Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Qi. ”
Congxi, Congran, and Lan Chu also followed the ceremony.
Mrs. Qu said in a harmonious voice: "Come and sit down, let me introduce you, this is our Mrs. Jinzhou Prefect, Mrs. Xu." Mrs. Qu pointed to a lady who was less than thirty years old, glanced at Mrs. Xu, and immediately nodded and asked. I thought in my heart, Jiang Dairou, a dancer in Tianxuefang, married Xu Yan, the prefect of Jinzhou, as a concubine, Jiang Dairou once said that Mrs. Xu is the step-family of the Xu prefect, no wonder Mrs. Xu looks so young.
Mrs. Qu pointed to a lady in dark green brocade next to her and said, "This is Mrs. Qian's waiter from the Ministry of Rites, Mrs. Li, and this is Mrs. Zhang, the richest man in Jinzhou, and this is Mrs. Qi from Yuxiu Buzhuang." ”
From Xi nodded and asked, Mrs. Xu looked at Congxi and Qu Zaichen and said with a smile: "The second son and the second young lady really have husband and wife, they are all outstanding and one-in-a-million, and they are really a pair of golden boys and girls." ”
Mrs. Li said: "It's just that it's pleasing to the eye when you look at it, and it makes people feel good." ”
Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Qi also smiled and nodded in agreement.
He smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliments, the ladies have praised you." ”
Mrs. Qu looked at Qu Zaichen and pretended to be disgusted: "Zaichen, how can you let Congxi come over, I know that you are newly married Yan'er, but you can let Congxi meet a few ladies, how much time can it take?" Also, you actually came along, there are all ladies and misses here, and you are not afraid of making people talk about jokes? ”
From the dark smile, Mrs. Qu really said as if she didn't order Qu Zaichen to come over.
Qu Zaichen said calmly: "It's in the dust that you don't think about it and disturb the ladies Yaxing, so you will retire in the dust." ”
Mrs. Xu hurriedly said: "It's all here, there are so many people, it doesn't hurt for the second son to stay, whose family has just gotten married and the young couple is not like glue, and they are reluctant to be separated for a while."
Several ladies smiled and nodded in agreement, and Mrs. Qu was about to speak, when she heard Yun Xian's voice: "Why just go out for a while, there are so many delicate beauties in the garden, it didn't fall from the sky, it's really a feast for the eyes." ”
Yun Xian leisurely stepped onto the gazebo, smiling, and couldn't stop looking at the ladies and ladies in the garden.
Mrs. Qu panicked and approached her to her sister-in-law, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you let him go, why did Yun Xian come back so soon?" ”
Sister-in-law Wu shook her head in confusion.
Yun Xian approached Qu Zaichen, raised his hand to put it on Qu Zaichen's shoulder, Qu Zaichen did not move and took a step back, Yun Xian pretended to be aggrieved: "Zaichen, and I saw other women behind my back, I have allowed you to marry Congxi, how many more do you want?" ”
Yun Xian's eyes were dissatisfied, and he glared at Congxi.
Mrs. Qu hurriedly stopped: "Yun Xian, your madness has been committed again, what nonsense?" Sister-in-law Wu, hurry up and take him to Dr. He to get medicine. ”
Sister-in-law Wu walked to Yun Xian, gave Yun Xian a slight salute, and was about to stretch out her hand to pull Yun Xian away, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Steward Zhou leading a few officials to the pavilion. Everyone turned their heads to look, and they were all curious and puzzled.
Jian Xuan took Cang Ze and Yu Zhuo to stop in front of the pavilion, raised his hand and saluted: "Jian Xuan, the official in the Xiajin Prefecture Mansion, has disturbed the ladies Yaxing." Jian Xuan turned his head to look at Qu Zaichen: "Second son of Qu, the government suspects that you are suspected of killing Yu Zhenzhen, the wife of Chang'an in Qingzhu Lane, please come with us to the palace." ”
Qu Zaichen heard it, frowning and puzzled. The people in the garden were stunned for a moment and began to whisper.
Mrs. Qu said in a loud voice: "Shut up!" Jian Xuan, right? If you say a word of suspicion, you want to arrest someone, do you have evidence to prove that you killed people in the dust? How could Zaichen know what alley and what Zhenzhen, and what did he do to kill her? It's you, who allowed you to trespass on my Qu Mansion, Steward Zhou? ”
Zhou Guan panicked for a moment, but did not speak. Feng Nianqing had already taken a step forward, looked at Jian Xuan and said, "Lord Jane, killing someone is a serious crime, how can you just open your mouth, do you have a credential?" ”
Jian Xuan didn't answer, and looked at Feng Nianqing carefully, as if he guessed Feng Nianqing's identity again.
Feng Nianqing's maid Buck'er hurriedly said: "This lord, what about what the county lord of my family asked you, what evidence do you have to prove that Qu Ergongzi killed someone?" ”
Jian Xuanshi bowed and asked, "I've seen the county lord." ”
Jian Xuan hesitated, took out a money bag from his sleeve, all plain white, embroidered with a gray word 'dust' in the lower left corner, Jian Xuan pinched the side of the money bag, held the money bag high, looked at Qu Zaichen and said: "This money bag is Yu Zhenzhen's body held tightly in her hand, it is very likely that she dragged it off the murderer before she died, this money bag belongs to Qu Ergongzi, right?" ”
Qu Zaichen slowly walked down the pavilion, stopped at Jian Xuan, stared at the money bag for a moment, and said frankly: "This money bag is indeed mine, but..."
Standing up in a hurry, he exclaimed: "Ah, Yu Zhenzhen is pregnant, everyone says that the child's father is not Brother Chang's, but someone else." Qu Zaichen, the father of the child will not be you, right? But why did you kill Yu Zhenzhen, the tiger poison still doesn't eat children, she is pregnant with your child? ”
When all the ladies and ladies in the garden heard this, they all stared at Qu Zaichen with wide eyes, and their faces were different.
Mrs. Qu was annoyed, and was about to open her mouth to reprimand and scold Congxi, Yun Xian had already spoken: "Don't wronged Zaichen, I told you, Zaichen was injured in Jingning Temple a few months ago, and you can't have children, what do you remember." ”
When everyone heard this, they looked at Qu Zaichen in disbelief, their faces were shy and red, and they stole Qu Zaichen and talked about it.
Congxi said again: "You said four months ago, but Yu Zhenzhen was five months pregnant, maybe it was the child they had before?" ”
Yun Xian immediately turned his head to look at Qu Zaichen, pretending to be aggrieved: "Qu Zaichen, it turns out that you have betrayed me a long time ago, I..."
"Ma'am, ma'am, are you alright?" Everyone heard Sister-in-law Wu's loud shout, and turned their heads to see that Mrs. Qu was overly angry and fainted in Sister-in-law Wu's arms.
