Chapter 54 Woe to the Wall
Looking at the surprise and surprise flashing in Qin Zhi's eyes, Dou Qing'e was very uncomfortable. She stiffened and kept looking at Li Weijun's side. Li Weijun looked very haggard. Qin Yunuan heard earlier that Li Weijun had bad luck recently. When she went out to visit her family, she would fall down the ravine and enjoy the scenery by the pond. Then he will slip and fall into the water. Even if he stays obediently in his room and embroidered flowers, he will fly into a few unlucky crows in vain, making the room in a mess.
The master of the Li family was also so anxious that he almost invited a Taoist priest to do it. However, as soon as he heard about Li Weijun's incident in Wan'an Temple, he knew that Li Weijun had actually offended the town general Leng Changxi and banned Li Weijun's feet in anger. This time, Captain Qin's birthday banquet was also the first time for Li Weijun went out for so long.
Dou Qing'e's hint that Li Weijun didn't see it, but...
"I see this picture..."
"What a good omen," Li Weijun had not finished speaking, but was snatched by Fang Ziying beside him. Fang Ziying continued to praise with a smile, "The mountains and rivers are magnificent, and the flowing water is full of water, as well as the auspicious clouds and cranes on the top. I didn't expect that Master Qin Er was so meticulous at such a young age."
When the baby daughter spoke, Fang Taifu also nodded and said, "This birthday gift is really thoughtful."
For a while, the wind fell like a mountain, and Qin Baochuan's gift was different. Although the painter was not more magnificent than those famous artists, he was also ingenious. The guests echoed one after another. Qin Baochuan stood in the middle of the banquet at this time, which can be said to be out of the limelight, but the key was still Qin's attitude.
"It's really good," Qin Zhi showed a rare smile, and even asked the little boy to take the picture scroll closer, so that he could observe it well. Looking back on the days when he studied in the mountains, he always sighed with emotion. In addition, the emperor has always regarded how Captain Qin studied hard in a cold window and how to read a lot of books as a model for new Confucian students in the current dynasty. For a moment, Qin Zhi's inner satisfaction expanded greatly, "hang this painting in the study."
Hanging in the study!
Qin Yunuan couldn't help it anymore, and a relieved joy appeared at the corners of her mouth. She couldn't help nod to Qin Baochuan. Her father was willing to accept the painting and still hang it in the study. What an important it was? Last time, it was found out that Aunt He's death had nothing to do with Qin Baochuan, but only opened Qin Zhi's heart knot. Today, a picture of "Mountain Flowing Thatched House" is It really made Qin accept this concubine who had been neglected for many years.
Of course, this is only the first step.
Several familiar adults asked Qin Baochuan a few simple questions in a row, such as what books he was reading and how many words he could write. Qin Baochuan answered calmly and won a lot of praise. Qin Zhi's face also hung a little pride.
Qin Yunuan also noticed that Qin Linfeng's face became more and more ugly. She picked out the spines of the bass in the small plate with a smile. She raised her head and asked Qin Linfeng with a worried look, "What's wrong, big brother? It doesn't look good."
Qin Linfeng only snorted coldly from the tip of his nose, put down his chopsticks heavily, and looked sideways at Qin Yunuan. He seemed to subconsciously seem to know that he was not her opponent, but his self-esteem couldn't help showing weakness. Thinking that he learned that Qin Yunuan was going to send Qin Baochuan to his house in a private carriage for treatment, he also specially sent him. People went to the back door to wait, but now, everything is in vain.
Qin Linfeng's unhappy expression fell into Qin Zhi's eyes. His eldest son, who has traveled abroad for so many years, has failed to change his impetuous temper, which made Qin Zhi feel a little depressed. In contrast, Qin Baochuan, although he is young, speaks well and clever. However, it is not as arrogant as the previous legend in the mansion, but after this moment of observation, the child's temperament remains to be studied.
Dou Qing'e was also surprised, but she covered up her surprise very well and even gently turned her head to ask Qin Baochuan's food and living. In the eyes of outsiders, it was as if this direct mother really regarded the young master as her own.
After the greeting, Qin Yunuan called Qin Baochuan over and handed him a plate of carefully picked prickly prickly. The bass was Qin Baochuan's favorite. Seeing the delicious fish half soaked in the soup, he immediately moved his index finger and obediently ate it aside.
Halfway through the banquet, Leng Changxi's eyes always fell on Qin Yunuan, as if it was an instinct. Su Chenghai's position had always been empty, saying that he had something urgent to leave the capital and left in a hurry. Even Qin Yunuan didn't know the news until he arrived at the banquet.
When she was drunk, Liao's mother touched it from behind the banquet. She should have looked at the back door. Now she came to look for Qin Yunuan. There must have been something wrong. Sure enough, Qin Yunuan only glanced at the gesture she had agreed with Liao's mother before and knew what had happened at the back door. She took a small sip of pear blossoms. , asked Aunt Liu, who was dressed beautifully, "by the way, the second sister said that she was not feeling well and wanted to relax. She hasn't come back for so long. Shouldn't she be sick? Is there a maid around her?"
Aunt Liu smiled and said in a tone like a turn: "Oh, it's rare for the third girl to care about your second sister. Don't worry, this girl is just a little uncomfortable. Maybe she won't know if she goes back to Lixiangyuan for a rest."
"My father was still sitting at the table, and the second sister went back to the yard by herself, which was a little irregular." Qin Yun covered his handkerchief, and his beautiful eyes flowed and slipped to Sima Rui beside him.
Today's Sima Rui wears a dark green robe embroidered with purple patterns, and the white auspicious cloud patterns on the cuffs reflect the sheep fat jade hairpin on the hair crown. His shallow smile is like a round of light, shining the heart of Qin Yun's makeup. Such Sima Rui is extremely charming, but Qin Yunuan knows that he is extremely dangerous.
Qin Yunzhuang explained to Sima Rui with a smile, "My sister is not good at drinking, which makes the third prince laugh."
Sima Rui just nodded and smiled, but between his hands and feet, his eyes towards Qin Yunuan became more and more mixed with inquiry. In his impression, Qin Yunuan was just a concubine who was a little indifferent to himself, but recently, several shops he secretly ran said that a boss Shen in the capital had recently and took action. Rich, he was seeking to cooperate with this rich man for profit, but he didn't expect that Boss Shen took a fancy to the embroidery of an unknown young man. After layers of exploration, he actually let him know that this anonymous young man was the three girls in the captain's mansion, that is, the faint-eyed one sitting in front of him. The cold Qin Yunuan.
This woman is getting more and more interesting.
"It doesn't matter," Sima Rui's smile seems to reveal a sense of elegance and Confucianism, which makes people feel very close. "It's just that I think Miss Qin is alone when she leaves the table without a maid. Will something happen?"
"That's true. It's a small pond when you go out of this yard. If the second girl really goes out alone and gets drunk again, it's not good." Aunt Chang followed.
As she spoke, even Aunt Liu, who was originally calm, became inexplicably nervous. She turned her head and ordered the maid beside her, "How are you going to see the second girl?"
As soon as the voice fell, there was a crisp sound suddenly. Although it was inconspicuous in the song and dance, it was also clear.
Qin Zhi frowned and seemed to suppress his anger. I don't know when the chopsticks in his hand had been cut into two. He was next to the little man who came to report the letter from the back door. Looking at his master's abrupt behavior, he couldn't help but pause and asked more cautiously, "Sir, the back door has been opened, and Shangguan's s spleen He was very angry, and he was stopped and hit by the young master's people when he was drunk. Now even the housekeeper Xie has nothing to do.
Qin took a deep breath in his heart. He suppressed his anger, straightened up, nodded to his colleagues, only said that he was a little unwell and left for a moment, but not long after Qin Zhi left, Qin Linfeng and Aunt Liu were also invited to look at Aunt Liu's face full of indescribable surprises. Qin Yunuan just lowered her eyelids, as if these things had nothing to do with her.
As soon as the owners left the table, several guests dispersed one after another. It was getting late. Qin Baochuan was taken back to Fuxiyuan by Liao's mother to rest, but Qin Yunuan was blown by the cool and humid wind in the small pond at night.
She looked at the dancing banquet in the distance, and the bright lights there could not match the peace of this secluded place.
The wisteria behind him was blown by the wind, and a long shadow slowly approached along the shore of the pond. The white deer boots stepped on the soft wet mud on the shore and were silent.
Qin Yunuan noticed that someone was approaching. She opened her eyes and turned around, but her expression suddenly darken. She just lowered her head and saluted, "Yu Nuan has seen the third prince."
"What?" Sima Rui opened his cheeks gently and smiled at the corners of his mouth, "It's me who found out. Miss Qin seems to be a little disappointed?"
"Where," Qin Yunuan's tone was more modest. "The third prince also came out to relax?"
Sima Rui replied bluntly, "No, in fact, I saw Miss Qin San leaving the table halfway and specially followed her." Just as Qin Yu's warm face showed a trace of imperceptible surprise, Sima Rui then said, "I watched Lieutenant Qin and Master Qin and several aunts leave the table one after another. I think something big happened in this house. What's wrong? Did Miss Qin San follow her curiously?
"It's just a few things about the inner house. Which yard's things were hit, which room's things were lost, or you used my handkerchief and I wiped your rouge." Qin Yunuan's tone was a little lively and innocent, "The third prince must have experienced a lot of these things in the palace."
"That's true," Sima Rui suddenly felt a kind of pleasure that had never been seen before. "There are indeed many trivialities in the palace. Sometimes I envy the seven imperial brothers far away in the imperial mausoleum. Although the life in the imperial mausoleum is lonely and bitter, it is happy and quiet."
Sima Rui said it well, but it was his good brother who made the seventh prince Sima Qiujiu unable to return to the palace outside the palace.
At that time, a little maid suddenly ran along the pond, saluted Sima Rui and Qin Yunuan one by one, and said eagerly, "Three girls, the master called you over in the backyard and died."
