Qin Zixuan insisted on sending Shuangzhi out of the reception building, and walked out all the way, his gaze was glued to Shuangzhi's face.

"Qin Gongzi, go back, we should go." The carriage came to Shuangzhi and them, and Shuangzhi asked Rong Lan to carry Wei'er into the carriage first, and then he turned to Qin Zixuan and said.

Qin Zixuan pursed her lips tightly and stared at Shuangzhi for a moment.

Shi Xianhui stomped her foot and got into the carriage.

"Qin Gongzi, take your leave." Shuangzhi smiled faintly at him and turned to leave.

"Double Solstice!" Qin Zixuan stretched out his hand and wanted to hold Shuangzhi, but his hand froze in mid-air because he saw Shuangzhi's slight dodge.

"Is there anything else?" Shuangzhi asked.

"Can you ......" he almost in a pleading tone, "Don't call me Gongzi Qin, call me Zixuan again, okay?" ”

Shuangzhi's calm eyes seemed to be blown up with a layer of ripples, and she sighed, "It's better to call Gongzi Qin." ”

The hope in Qin Zixuan's eyes was shattered in an instant, and his heart seemed to be pierced by countless sharp needles, and he was paralyzed in pain.

Shuangzhi smiled politely and detachedly, turned and got into the carriage.

Shi Xianhui glanced at Shuangzhi from the corner of his eyes, and said in an awkward tone, "What did Qin Zixuan say to you?" ”

Shuangzhi said lightly, "I just said something else." ”

"Didn't you say anything else?" Shi Xianhui didn't believe it, that Qin Zixuan saw Fu Shuangzhi's appearance as if she had seen a treasure, but she didn't immediately pounce on it, and she saw that her heart was bubbling sourly.

Shuangzhi turned his head to look at her, his eyes were rare and cold, "Second girl, what do you want to test on me?" ”

Shi Xianhui's face turned pale, "Why should I test you." ”

The corners of Shuangzhi's mouth hooked slightly, "No, that's the best, otherwise I really thought that the second girl brought me to the reception house today for another purpose." ”

Shi Xianhui pursed her lips and looked out the car window.

Shuangzhi shook his head and looked down at Wei'er, but saw Wei'er lying by the window with a curious face, looking at the bustle outside.

"Wei'er, do you want to go down for a walk?" Shuangzhi asked softly.

Wei'er blinked her big moist eyes, and a hint of yearning appeared in her eyes.

Shuangzhi chuckled and asked Rong Lan to tell the little guy who was driving the car to find an open space and stop, "Let's go, Wei'er, let's go shopping, second girl, do you want to come down?" ”

Shi Xianhui thought about it, and it was boring to stay in the car, so she got out of the car together, and glanced at Wei'er, who was timid and didn't like to talk, with some impatience, "Sister-in-law, why are you so good to this child, and you are not your own son." ”

Shuangzhi led Wei'er to the bustling street, and said to Shi Xianhui, "If you are not your own, you can't cherish it." ”

"Hmph, that Mrs. Hu doesn't look like a good person, you are careful of being calculated." Shi Xianhui said disapprenously.

Shuangzhi looked at her with a smile, "Is the second girl concerned about me?" ”

Shi Xianhui glanced at her, "Who cares about you, I'm afraid that this family will be messed up by Mrs. Hu." ”

"Well, that's also caring for me, thank you for the second girl's concern." Shuangzhi said with a smile.

Shi Xianhui glanced at her and twisted her body, "I won't go back with you, I'm going to buy some rouge and go home by myself in a while." ”

After speaking, Shi Xianhui didn't wait for Shuangzhi to react, and led his maid ring to walk forward with broken steps.

Shuangzhi smiled and said to Rong Lan and Xiangqin behind him, "Be careful, don't let people bump into Wei'er." ”

Wei'er clenched Shuangzhi's hand, looked left and right with a pair of clear and pure eyes, full of curiosity about the vendors shouting around, and swallowed his saliva unconsciously when he saw the seller of rock sugar gourds.

Shuangzhi saw that his innocent appearance was no different from that of ordinary children, and he felt happy and relieved in his heart, sure enough, he was a child, and he liked to watch the excitement and like to eat snacks, "Rong Lan, go buy a string of rock sugar gourds for Wei'er." ”

Rong Lan bought a rock sugar gourd and handed it to Wei'er, Wei'er's little face showed a little excitement, and she stretched out her little hand to take it, but she looked at Shuangzhi timidly and didn't dare to take it.

Shuangzhi touched his head with pity, "This is for Wei'er, don't be afraid, eat it." ”

Wei'er's immature face flashed with a shy smile, and she reverently stretched out her hands to take the rock sugar gourd.

They walked all the way down the lively streets, there were all kinds of pedestrians in the bustling crowd, and some were dressed in strange costumes, it should not be the people of the Great Qi country, the Great Qi country and the surrounding countries have established friendly relations, these people with darker skin and reddish color are probably the merchants of the leading country.

When passing by a jade shop, Shuangzhi suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to have given Shi Tuo a gift yet, thinking that Shi Tuo would take the things she gave in the future, so he could think of her from time to time, and his heart was sweet, and he turned around and walked towards the jade shop.

As soon as the shopkeeper of the jade shop saw his temperament, he guessed which lady in the house it must be, and greeted him very warmly.

"This lady, please look at it casually, do you want earrings, beads, or bracelets? We have everything in the store, just say Madam, and the small one will be brought to you right away. ”

The dazzling array of jewelry and jade was dazzling, and I really didn't see anything suitable for sending Shi Tuo.

"Madam, look at it, this is an auspicious Ruyi lock, it is just right for your son, and wearing it will definitely be auspicious and ruyi will not invade the healthy growth of all diseases." The shopkeeper was convinced that she had good eyesight, but this lady looked very young, and the little boy next to her should not be her son, but her younger brother.

Shuangzhi hooked a smile at the corner of her mouth, this shopkeeper's sales ability is really strong, she took the auspicious ruyi lock, and asked, "Wei'er, do you like it?" ”

Wei'er was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the auspicious Ruyi lock, he didn't like it, but if it was given by his wife, he would like it.

Shuangzhi chuckled and put the auspicious Ruyi lock around Wei'er's neck, "Well, then Wei'er will grow into a handsome young man healthy and happy." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and squinted, sure enough, he was a master with silver, and he bought it without asking the price, did he just come to Jingzhao? Looks like I'm making a good buck.

Shuangzhi didn't notice the shopkeeper's silver-shaped eyes, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a small purple ring in the corner.

"Shopkeeper, show me that." Shuangzhi pointed to the pair of small rings and asked the shopkeeper to bring them.

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and kindly reminded, "Madam, although the jade quality of this small ring is good, it is just an ornament, and it can neither be used as an earring nor a headdress, so it is a bit of a waste to buy it." ”

Shuangzhi looked at these two small rings with surprise, these are clearly two rings, at this time, no one should know what a ring is, let alone the meaning of the ring.

Rings originated in ancient Rome, believing that rings symbolize the sun, can give people warmth, and bless human happiness and peace, and later, ancient Roman men used rings to propose to women, until the fourteenth century, the Austrian Emperor Maxim I presented a diamond ring to his fiancée, Princess Mary of France, who put the diamond ring on the princess's ring finger.

According to ancient Egyptian legends, the ring finger contains a vein of love that leads directly to the heart, and the romantic tradition of gifting a diamond ring has been passed down.

These are two large and small purple rings, no different from modern ordinary rings, the color is dark, very rich purple, the jade is shiny, it is the best jade.

"Shopkeeper, I want these two rings." Shuangzhi put the small ring on her ring finger, not loose or tight, as if it was specially made for her.

She couldn't get enough of these two rings.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised to see Shuangzhi put the ring on his finger, but he didn't expect that these two small rings bought from neighboring countries still have such a purpose, and they look good on his finger.

"Madame, the little one is wrapped up for you." The shopkeeper said diligently.

Shuangzhi thought for a moment and said loudly, "Wait, shopkeeper, can you help me engrave a few words on the inside?" ”

The shopkeeper thought about it for a while, and said, "Madam, this engraving is okay, but this small ring is smaller, and the effort is relatively large, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a long time, or will the small one be sent to your house after the small one is engraved?" ”

"It's okay, just send it to the General's Mansion." Shuangzhi nodded.

The shopkeeper was stunned, the general's mansion? Looking at this lady's posture, is it the general's wife? The shopkeeper secretly wrung a cold sweat, whether it was Mrs. or anyone else, he was from the General's Mansion, he almost wanted to knock on a stroke just now, fortunately, otherwise he would offend the official family who could not be offended.

Shuangzhi wrote down the words to be engraved on the ring and handed it to the shopkeeper, and asked the price, but she didn't expect the shopkeeper's offer to be much cheaper than she imagined, she smiled faintly, probably the three words of the general's mansion played a role.

After they left, the shopkeeper picked up the white paper in his hand and looked at it, and was dumbfounded, what kind of words this lady carved, she couldn't understand any of them.

After leaving the jade shop, they went to buy a lot of toys of this era for Wei'er, although the toys of this era are not as diversified as modern advanced ones, but they are also very delicate and good-looking, watching Wei'er hold a windmill in one hand and a trembling buzz in the other, in addition to the auspicious Ruyi lock just now, he also wears a brightly colored fish whistle on his neck.

"Daddy...... Daddy......" Suddenly, Wei'er stopped and pointed to a stall selling tofu brains on the side of the street and shouted.

"Does Wei'er want to eat tofu brain?" Shuangzhi asked him softly, after shopping for so long, he seemed to be really hungry.

Wei'er's immature little face originally had an innocent smile, but after seeing this stall, she looked a little lonely, and even her eyes were as silent as tarnished glass.

Shuangzhi frowned lightly and looked carefully at the stall selling tofu brains, "Wei'er, did you often come here with your father to eat tofu brains before?" ”

Wei'er's eyes flashed, and she nodded slowly.

Shuangzhi smiled and took his hand, "Let's go, let's eat tofu brains too." ”

They chose a corner position and sat down, but no matter how low-key they were, they looked out of place with these passers-by on the street, although Shuangzhi's clothes were not gorgeous, but it could also be seen that she was the wife of a big family, and the two maids around her were also delicate and lovely.

Shuangzhi asked Rong Lan and Xiangqin to sit down and rest together, and standing behind her was even more eye-catching.

Rong Lan went to ask the boss to send a few bowls of tofu brain, and not long after, a mother-in-law in gray coarse clothes sent it on a tray.

Put the tofu brain on the table, "The guest officer uses it slowly." She closed her eyes, and suddenly saw that the child next to Shuangzhi was a little kind, and after a closer look, the tray in her hand fell to the ground, and she exclaimed, "Young Master Wei'er?" ”

Note: Shaking hum is a famous folk toy, with two small bamboo sticks tied to the line, wrapped around the wooden shaft to shake, the empty bamboo high rotation and sound.

1oo The former housekeeper of the Hu family

Hearing the woman's exclamation, Shuangzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at her: "What did you just say...... Master? ”

The woman's eyes were red, and tears condensed in her eyes, "This, this is our young master, how can it be in your hands, who are you?" Did you kidnap our young master? ”

"Presumptuous! Our lady is a dignified county lady of the General's Mansion, what are you doing kidnapping your young master? Rong Lan reprimanded on the side.

The mother-in-law shrank back, looked at Shuangzhi in horror, and then looked at Wei'er, who was clearly her young master, how could Wei'er be by the side of the lady of the General's Mansion?

Shuangzhi handed a color to Parsley, and then smiled and said to the woman, "Please sit down and talk." ”

The woman hesitated for a moment, wiped her hands on the scarf, and carefully sat down opposite Shuangzhi, her eyes staring straight at Wei'er, seeing the young master's ruddy face in front of her eyes, she felt a burst of emotion in her heart.

"The old slave's family name is Chen."

"Mrs. Chen, you call Wei'er the young master, and you used to be an errand boy in the Hu family?" Shuangzhi asked Wei'er to eat tofu brain slowly, and talked to this Chen Pozi by herself.

Wei'er just glanced at Mrs. Chen timidly, and obediently ate tofu brain.

"The old slave was originally the housekeeper of the Hu family, and with the young lady and the master came to Jingzhao together, the young master Wei'er was still the old slave who grew up, and then the master suffered bad luck, and the young lady beat the old slave away, and the son of the old slave opened such a small stall in Jingzhao, thinking of staying here as a helper, so he didn't go back to Donglin City." Mrs. Chen saw that Shuangzhi treated Wei'er well, and thought that the general's wife was not an unreasonable person, so she explained herself first, and then asked why the young master was there for her.

"After you left, do you know where your young lady went?" Shuangzhi asked.

Mrs. Chen replied, "The young lady wants to return to her hometown in Donglincheng with the young master, but ...... But the lady of the old family said that the young lady did not go back at all, and all the slaves in Jingzhao's family were dismissed, and the young lady lost the news in this way, and the old lady of our family fell seriously ill because of this, and now he is bedridden. ”

"You mean, your young lady hasn't been in contact with the family for the past two years, and you've been looking for Wei'er?" When Shuangzhi heard the words, his heart sank, and he faintly felt that something was wrong.

The old slave guessed that the young lady couldn't bear the blow, so he left with the young master, wanting to live a peaceful life, but ...... Madame, why is Weier with you? Chen Pozihu asked.

Shuangzhi glanced at her sternly, "Mrs. Chen, you are the housekeeper of the Hu family, then, you should know very well what kind of person your young lady is, right?" ”

"How did you young lady treat Wei'er in the past? I mean, when Vice Admiral Hu is not at home to go on the expedition, how does the young lady treat Wei'er? Shuangzhi's tone was serious, and his eyes stared straight at Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen's pupils widened, and she looked at Shuangzhi in astonishment, "Husband...... Why did Madame say this? ”

Shuangzhi smiled faintly, it seems that this Mrs. Chen knows something.

"Mrs. Chen, you are a slave of the Hu family, Wei'er is your master, if the master is harmed, if you just turn a blind eye, you will kill the master." The sound is soft, as warm and comfortable as a spring breeze.

She was wondering, Mrs. Hu has been in the General's Mansion for the past two years, has she concealed it very well, so good that even the people of the Hu family don't know where she is, and they think she is missing, has Mrs. Hu never been out of the mansion in the past two years? Mrs. Chen's eyes fell on Wei'er, she didn't believe that the young lady would abuse Wei'er, the young master was the only bloodline of the Hu family, and the young lady should be more restrained.

Seeing Mrs. Chen's hesitation, Shuangzhi said: "It's inconvenient to talk here, there is a restaurant opposite, let's go inside and talk." ”

Mrs. Chen glanced at Shuangzhi hesitantly, and said to Wei'er: "Young master, do you still recognize the old slave?" ”

Wei'er had just eaten a bowl of tofu brain, and the familiar taste reminded him of a long time ago when his father used to bring him here, and he missed his father so much...... Thinking of this, Wei'er's originally satisfied smile suddenly wilted, and he stared blankly ahead, but he didn't know where his gaze fell, and it looked hollow.

Shuangzhidun felt a sense of sadness overflowing her heart, she took Wei'er and said softly to Mrs. Chen: "I can meet you today, maybe it is created by God, whether you can have a safe and healthy living environment next depends on you, you don't have to suspect me anything, I have no ill will towards you, Wei'er or the Hu family, believe it or not, you see that your young master is like this now, can't you guess what kind of life he has lived in the past two years?" He can't say anything but the word daddy, could he have been the same before? ”

Mrs. Chen's face changed, and she looked at Wei'er with a flush of blood, "How can it be...... Has the young lady's madness been cured? ”

Crazy? Shuangzhi was stunned, does Mrs. Hu seem to be suffering from neuropathy?

With doubts, Shuangzhi and his party walked to the building opposite the tofu brain, opened a side room, and after seeing Wei'er's back, they knelt down with a bang, hugged Wei'er and cried bitterly, "Young master, my poor child, it was the old slave who didn't take good care of you and made you suffer so much, young master......"

Rong Lan and Xiangqin persuaded Mrs. Chen for a while, and finally let her stop crying, and Wei'er immediately hid behind Shuangzhi when she got it, looking at Mrs. Chen in horror.

When Mrs. Chen saw that Wei'er was so defensive of her, her heart was sad again, and she sobbed: "The young lady is really poisonous, even if she loses her mind and goes crazy, she shouldn't do such a thing to the young master." ”

"You keep claiming that the young lady is crazy, is it true or false? Does Vice Admiral Hu know about this? How sure are you that this is your young lady's hand? "Shuangzhi didn't doubt whether this Chen Pozi was a slave of the Hu family, and listening to her words and attitude towards Wei'er, there was indeed no need to doubt her identity.

Mrs. Chen sobbed, her voice was interrupted, "The young lady got this madness in three years, if the master is at home, if the master is fine, if the master goes on the expedition, the young lady will beat the young master once she does it, the wound on the young master's back The old slave has seen it before, so he naturally recognizes it as the young lady." ”

Shuangzhi heard the fire in his heart, and his voice was a little angry, "You still know that the young lady is suffering from madness, why don't you tell Vice General Hu that you have let Wei'er be abused by her for so many years, how did you protect it?" ”

"It's not that the old slave hasn't told him, but ...... But the young lady's madness is sometimes good and sometimes bad, as soon as the master comes back, he will be fine, even if the old slave says it, the master will not believe it. ”

"What about the wound on Weier's back? Haven't you seen Vice Admiral Hu? Shuangzhi suppressed her anger, she didn't think about whether Mrs. Hu's madness was true or not, she just wanted to know why Mrs. Chen, who had abused Wei'er three years earlier, didn't tell others about it, so that Wei'er was closed in her own world.

"It takes a long time for the master to go out every time, and when he comes back, the wounds on the young master's back have been healed, and the scars can't be seen." Mrs. Chen didn't understand how the young lady could deceive the master like this, so that they, the slaves, wanted to tell the master the truth, but they couldn't find evidence.

Shuangzhi took a deep breath, can such a scheming woman be able to deal with the madness of losing her heart?

She quickly summarized Mrs. Chen's words in her mind, this Mrs. Chen recognized that the wound on Wei'er's back was caused by Mrs. Hu, because Mrs. Hu also abused Wei'er in the same way before, in order to prevent Vice General Hu from appearing, Mrs. Hu would give Wei'er medicine every time she abused Wei'er, knowing that Wei'er's injury was completely healed, of course, this was just her guess, she didn't know how Mrs. Hu had abused Wei'er before.

But it is obvious that two years after Vice Admiral Hu's death, there was no need for Mrs. Hu to drug Wei'er after abusing him in order to hide from him, so Wei'er had so many small scars and wounds on his back.

Suppose that Mrs. Hu has lost her mind, then how can she control herself to do it when Vice General Hu is not at home, how can this disease stop when she says it, she even vigorously worked in the General's Mansion for two years, and bought a lot of people's hearts in the General's Mansion, such a scheming person is really crazy?

She had reservations about Mrs. Chen's statement, she felt that Mrs. Hu was more likely to miss Vice General Hu and feel lonely, so that she developed an extreme and manic personality, so she asked Wei'er to vent her anger.

Otherwise, how can you accept that as soon as Vice General Hu returns home, she will completely become a gentle and gentle young lady?

However, no matter what Mrs. Hu abused Wei'er for, Wei'er couldn't continue to stay by her side, and the only way was to let the old lady of the Hu family come and take Wei'er away in person, although she really wanted to keep Wei'er by her side, but she didn't have a good position.

"Mrs. Chen, if you want Wei'er to stop being abused by the young lady, you have only one way." Shuangzhi looked at Mrs. Chen and said in a low voice.

"What's the solution? It is to the life of the old slave, and the old slave must definitely protect the young master. Mrs. Chen said firmly.

"Who else is there in the Hu family?" Shuangzhi asked.

"After Vice General Hu passed away, the eldest girl recruited a husband to join her, and the old lady was bedridden, and the old lady was quite tough." Mrs. Chen replied carefully.

Shuangzhi nodded, "You go to Xicheng and tell your old lady the whereabouts of Wei'er and the young lady, don't tell Wei'er about the abuse for the time being, so as not to stimulate the old lady and the old lady to be quite tough." ”

Mrs. Chen hesitated a little, but still agreed, "The old slave will go to Donglin City in person." ”

Shuangzhi smiled slightly, her eyes were cold and a little sharp, and after Mrs. Chen left, she said to Xiangqin: "What are the maids in Mrs. Hu's courtyard, find an opportunity for them to think clearly, who to listen to in the General's Mansion, and recognize who is the master." ”
