Chapter 461, Taoguang Yanghui

Qiu Ergou took the other four minions of Qiu's Mansion to follow Yin Ruonan and his party all the way, in order to prevent being discovered, another person followed every three or five miles, and saw that Yin Ruonan and the four of them returned to the courtyard of Hu Ercai in Wujia Village, so they inquired nearby, and determined that a few people lived here, so they left one person nearby to watch. Qiu Ergou took the rest of the people and rushed back to the Qiu Mansion in Songshan City.

In the courtyard to the east of Qiu's mansion, Qiu Fenglin was sitting on the couch outside his bedroom thinking about his thoughts, a beautiful maid was carefully beating his legs, and another beautiful maid was holding a celadon bowl, in which was red dates and white fungus soup, and was feeding him spoonful by spoon with a small spoon.

At this time, Qiu Ergou hurriedly ran in from outside, came to Qiu Fenglin, half-bowed, and said respectfully: "Big prince, the little one has been investigated clearly, the old guy surnamed Si and the boy Yin live in the Hu family compound in Wujia Village, twenty miles east of the city! There are a total of eight people in the courtyard, four of them, plus two maids and two servants. ”

Qiu Fenglin hummed lazily, raised his head to look at Qiu Ergou's crooked mouth, waved his hand again, and motioned to the maid to take the red date and white fungus soup away, and immediately another beautiful maid came to Qiu Fenglin with a jade cigarette pouch, carefully lit the tobacco leaves in the cigarette pouch with a fire fold, and stuffed the jade mouth of the cigarette pouch into Qiu Fenglin's mouth. Qiu Fenglin took a sharp breath, and intoxicated swallowed the clouds and spit out the mist.

Soon, the whole room was filled with smoke, and Qiu Fenglin liked this kind of tobacco from Nanyang the most, and it was very refreshing to smoke. Qiu Ergou always bowed his waist halfway, with a deferential expression. After a while, Qiu Fenglin finally got enough of his addiction to smoking, so he yawned, raised his heavy eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Damn, that kid surnamed Yin didn't raise two women?

Qiu Ergou had a flattering smile on his face, "That little white face, how can he be compared to the eldest prince?

Qiu Fenglin smiled obscenely, and touched the little face of the maid holding the cigarette pouch, "How much knowledge can you kid have? Of course, this son knows how to enjoy life as well as women! Damn, since the surnamed Yin is a relative of the emperor, how can he be embarrassed to collect some mountain goods to make money? Earn that little money enough to do a fart? Ah? Don't he be a drunkard and not in the bar?" Qiu Fenglin widened his eyes and sat up straight from the couch, as if he had discovered a new world.

"Big brother, what did you find? Why were you so surprised?" It was Qiu Fenglu, the second son of the Qiu family, who walked in from outside the door. Qiu Fenglu walked in from outside with a delicate embroidered eye birdcage, and a black starling squatted in the birdcage, and the starling shouted in the cage, "Second son is rich!"

Qiu Fenglu lifted the embroidered eye cage to Lao Gao, and said proudly: "Big brother, what do you say about this birdcage? This thing was originally made from the palace office, and this thing is priceless in the market! This is what I got from the Wuquanhou Mansion, Yin Zhiyan, this kid, is really black-hearted, I have to use those two beautiful concubines to be willing to exchange!"

Qiu Fenglin sneered, "Second brother, you just engage in some useless things, what kind of flowers, birds, crickets, what's the use of this thing? Gold and silver, big horses, martial arts and beautiful women, besides, what kind of bird cage are you, with two golden wires, it is worth two beautiful concubines? It's a tyrannical thing!"

Qiu Fenglu cut a snort, and said disapprenously: "Big brother, you can't think about it too much, you have a lot of gold and silver, you have to have something to be happy, right? Gold and silver can't be eaten directly, no matter how beautiful the concubine is, she is tired of looking at it every day, besides, a woman will have a weak kidney if she uses too much, right? You have to have some fun for yourself! Get a mountain of gold to guard every day, and you are reluctant to eat and drink, then you are just a miser!"

Qiu Fenglin smiled, "Second brother, you, you are used to spending all day drinking, but you don't understand the importance of gold and silver! If you raise those people who know martial arts at home, you don't want gold and silver and don't want beautiful women? With such a big family business, where do you not need money? Appropriate loans, a lot of energy is invested in making money, and only with money can you make more money! Isn't that right? Just like you exchanged two beautiful concubines for a broken bird cage, didn't those two beautiful concubines buy them with money?"

Qiu Fenglu put the bird cage on the coffee table and teased the starling in the cage, "Call the second master! Don't call the second master and don't give you food today!" turned back and asked Qiu Fenglin, "You're right, big brother, but you think, aren't you just making so much money just to spend it?

Qiu Ergou said on the side: "If you go back to the second son, the old guy surnamed Si and the boy Yin live in the Hu family compound in Wujia Village, twenty miles east of the city, and there are two maids and two servants in the courtyard. ”

Qiu Fenglu nodded and said, "Well, okay." The next step is to find out the origin of these guys, since they are foreigners, they should know that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, how can they be so bold and dare to be disrespectful to our enemies in public!"

Qiu Fenglin said with a smile: "Second brother, my brother has to praise you once, you finally know."

Think about the problem with your brain! This group of people is absolutely suspicious, I heard Ergou say that there are no women bought from outside in that courtyard, only two maids. Do you think that the servant next to him is more powerful than Shi Rengui of our family, which means that his family background is definitely not inferior to ours, if our buddies are doing business outside, can there be no fucking women around?"

Qiu Fenglu suddenly smiled lewdly, "No woman can't explain anything, you see that kid's long thin skin and tender flesh are as pretty as a girl, maybe he likes Rabbit Master! By the way, big brother, aren't you the best bite? Then do you want to bring this Yin boy?" Hahahaha......" Qiu Ergou couldn't hold back his laughter on the side, Qiu Fenglin glanced at him, and Qiu Ergou was so frightened that he quickly held back his laughter.

Qiu Fenglin shook his head and said: "Second brother, this fucking is secondary, where is there no little prince with fine skin and tender meat? My brother is worried now that this surnamed Yin is going to be unfavorable to our family! On the way back, I kept talking, Shi Rengui dodged and dodged and refused to say what the origin of the old man surnamed Si was, only said that what he kept must be a relative of the emperor! I don't understand, what is this relative of the emperor and the country doing if he has nothing to do with the trouble of my enemy?"

Qiu Fenglu laughed and said disapprehantly: "I'm too lazy to bother with that brain, you go and tell grandpa, let grandpa deal deal with this matter! When it comes to these messy things in officialdom, our brothers will make a mistake as soon as they do it, and then they will have to beat and scold grandpa, and they won't be able to do it! Otherwise, I will follow my father to the post, but he will take care of me when I go, and I might as well fight cocks and lackeys at home and drink flowers and wine!"

Qiu Fenglin lay down again, leaned on the couch, and said to himself: "This matter is not so simple! Anyway, he is also a relative of the emperor and the country, and even such a high master can afford to raise it, what kind of business is it to collect some mountain goods! How many taels of silver can I earn? I feel that there is some conspiracy here, and if we can't figure out that this kid is here to calculate our family, we can't afford to suffer this loss! We must find out where they come from!"

Qiu Fenglu sat on the chair with his buttocks, and teased the starling in the cage again, "Call the second master, don't call the second master not to give food at night!" Then he raised his head again, and said with a casual face: "Boss, how to investigate this matter is the business of you and your subordinates, I don't want to care, of course, if you let me take care of it, I can't take care of it, I will only mess things up! Grandpa, uncle, father, and you, none of you worry about me! Alas, don't ask, if you ask, it's in vain, I amused the crickets!"

As he spoke, Qiu Fenglu stood up, lifted the bird cage and said goodbye to Qiu Fenglin, and staggered out. In the house, Qiu Fenglin suddenly laughed inexplicably, and snorted in his nose, "Just such a waste wants to fight with me for family property?" hehe......" Qiu Ergou stood on the side, silent, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Qiu Fenglu carried the bird cage out of the yard of the eldest brother Qiu Fenglin, swayed to the back garden, and saw a beautiful maid along the way, even if it was a slightly beautiful maid, he had to step forward to pinch his face and pinch his hands, and muttered in his mouth: "Ouch, with such a beautiful face, it's a pity not to let the second master and me touch it!" or when he saw which one of his breasts was bigger, he broke his mouth, "Ouch, sister, such a big fall, right? Do you want the second master to help you rub it?"

The maids and servants in the house were all disgusted with him, but Qiu Fenglu didn't care at all, and his hippie smile was not at all right. Qiu Fenglu carried the bird cage, passed through several corridors, passed through two moon gates, followed the path of flowers and birds, and came to the beautiful artificial lake in the back garden, where a servant was adjusting the fishing rod. Qiu Fenglu came to the servant's side and asked loudly, "Qiu Fu, you are still so clumsy, let the second master come!"

As he spoke, he took the fishing rod from Qiu Fu's hand, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Later, let Qiu An go to the Dongwei Branch to inquire about the news, and let me find out what the kid surnamed Yin who lives in the Hu family compound in Wujia Village is coming from and why he came! We are at a disadvantage when we compete with the boss, and we have to use extraordinary means!

Qiu Fu agreed, turned around and left the lake, and walked out of the yard, Qiu Fenglu still muttered to himself: "Waste, you can't even get a fishing line and bait, and you have to get it yourself! I really don't know what the use of raising these waste snacks for you is! I can't even get this little thing right, it's all grandpa who is used to you one by one!" As he spoke, he threw the hook off the artificial lake and said to himself: "Doing things is like fishing, you have to endure it, so that you can have a big fish take the bait!"

There was a figure behind the rockery in the distance, and he didn't know where to go, and the corners of Qiu Fenglu's mouth, who had already seen all this in his eyes, curled up.

Yin Ruonan and the others collected the mountain goods and returned to the Hu family compound. Sun Zongcheng and Sikong Jing quietly went out for a walk again, still investigating the affairs of the enemy.

When he was fine during the day, Yin Ruonan still practiced martial arts as usual. The matter of settling accounts was handed over to Sun Zongcheng and Sikong Jing. On the morning of the third day, Yin Ruonan couldn't sit still anymore after breakfast, ran to the patio and came to the osmanthus tree, looked at Sikong Jing who was boxing, and had to shout to go to the village to see

Look at Miao Yuting's injuries.

Sikong Jing glanced at Yin Ruonan seemingly unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's really rare, Her Royal Highness the princess has finally grown up!"

Yin Ruonan looked at Sikong Jing with threatening eyes, and asked word by word: "Old man Sikong, what did you say just now?"

Sikong Jing raised his head and looked at the sky above the courtyard sky, and snorted, "Did I talk just now?" Why don't I remember!" Sikong Jing's funny appearance provoked Sun Zongcheng and Li Lanqiu on the side to laugh, Yin Ruonan looked at Sikong Jing hatefully and clenched his fists.

The four of them rode on horses, explained the affairs of the family to the maid servants, carried two old hens, and some fruit and pastries, went to the official road, and went straight to the mill village in front of Zhangjiaji.

The mill is not very large, more than 100 households, surrounded by fields, the crops have been harvested in late autumn, and the fields are empty except for some straw stacks. The four of them rode a tall horse into the village, and many villagers were looking around in their own yards, their eyes were afraid, and the villagers had a natural fear of this kind of person riding a tall horse.

There was a clearing in the middle of the village, and there were a few children who were playing, and they were frightened when they saw a few people coming on horseback, and they quickly dispersed, only a little fat man of about ten years old was not timid, and no one was playing with his wooden knife in the clearing. Yin Ruonan jumped off the horse, came to the little fat man with a smile, and asked, "This little brother, your sword skills are really good! May I ask where Mr. Miao Yuting, who teaches, lives?"

When the little fat man who played with the knife heard Yin Ruonan praise him for his good knife skills, his smiling eyes narrowed, and he claimed to praise himself: "This big brother still has a good eye! My knife skills have been passed down by a famous teacher! Alas, pity these people in our village, they don't know the goods!"

Li Lanqiu couldn't help but smile, "Little brother, you take us to find Mr. Miao first, and I'll learn from you about the knife technique when I go back, do you think it's okay?"

The fat boy who played with the knife glared at his eyes, "You also know how to use the knife?" Wow, such a delicate brother can actually do martial arts, I really don't see it! Sure enough, as Mr. Miao said, people can't look good! Then you come with me, Mr. Miao lives in the east of the village, and he said that he was injured in the past two days, and he didn't come to teach his homework, so we all played in the village! What are you looking for Mr. Miao?"

When Yin Ruonan heard the little fat man say this, he nodded and quipped: "It turns out that you are still Mr. Miao's disciple! In this way, you are a talented person who has both literature and martial arts, and is both civil and military? We are friends of Mr. Miao, and we know that he is injured, so we specially came to visit him." ”

The little fat man pinned the wooden knife to his waist and was about to lead the way in front, Sun Zongcheng jumped off the horse with a smile, lifted the little fat man, and put it on the horse's back, "Little brother, come with us!"

The little fat man said triumphantly to Yin Ruonan: "I don't dare to say it, but Xi Wen is to recognize the name, practice martial arts, strengthen the body, and in the future, you can also practice chivalry and righteousness, make a name for yourself, and defend the country! ”

Sun Zongcheng smiled and said, "Okay, you are very ambitious, just like when I was a child!" The little fat man glanced back at Sun Zongcheng and asked curiously: "This uncle, do you also know martial arts?"

Sun Zongcheng smiled, "As for me, the three-legged cat kung fu is not worth mentioning." If you can't beat the master, it's a little stronger than the low hand, and if the high can't be low, you can't learn from me!"

The little fat man laughed and said: "No, no, no, I won't be as high or low as you, my knife skills are learned from Uncle Yu in the village, Uncle Yu used to be a halberd chief in the army, and now he is older, so he went home to kill pigs and become a butcher." I heard Uncle Yu say that he also participated in the battle against Great Xia twenty years ago, beheaded four people, made war exploits, and drank the imperial wine given by the first emperor, which is very majestic!"

Sun Zongcheng heard the little fat man say this, his face was shocked, the little fat man saw Sun Zongcheng's expression, thought that he was shocked, couldn't help but the corners of his mouth curled, and said proudly: "My Uncle Yu can go into battle to kill the enemy, that's a fierce man!" After speaking, looking at Sun Zongcheng's expression, he couldn't bear it, and comforted: "It's okay, you practice martial arts well, maybe one day you can be as majestic as him!"

Sun Zongcheng touched the little fat man's head and did not speak. The little fat man pointed to the three blue brick tiled houses surrounded by a bamboo fence on the side of the road, "Well, this is Mr. Miao's home!" Sun Zongcheng turned over and dismounted, and took the little fat man down. The little fat man ran over, patted the wooden door, and shouted, "Mr. Miao, Mr. Miao, your friend has come to see you!"

Yin Ruonan got off the horse and stood outside the courtyard and looked into the courtyard, only to see that there were still a few pots of chrysanthemums planted in the courtyard, which were in full bloom, white, yellow and red, very bright and lovely. Yin Ruonan smiled slightly, "I didn't expect this Brother Miao to be a flower lover!"

The little fat man smiled: "If you come in summer, it will be even better, our Mr. Miao has planted a lot of broom plums, and the roads are all there, then it is beautiful!"
