After leaving the Meng Mansion, Qin Wan in the carriage frowned slightly, "Have you found out anything from the investigation here?"
Yan Chi said with a serious expression, "Master Zheng sent people to search the lake, and found that there were footprints on the other side of the lake near the silt, but the silt on that side was shallower, and the footprints were not deep. The lakeside of Rimeng Mansion has been searched many times, which shows that the footprints are new."
As he said that, Yan Chi said again, "The footprints also went to the fourth and third courtyards."
Qin Wan frowned slightly, "I was at Meng Yao's place just now, and I saw the paintings that Master Ning made for the Meng family. On the surface of the paintings, they looked nothing, but there were a few paintings that showed the contradiction between the second and fourth bedrooms. Also, The reason why the Second Madam has nowhere to come out now is because she suffered a miscarriage earlier and hurt her body, which never healed, and she couldn't escape from the world afterwards."
"Xiaochan?" Yan Chi frowned, "Do you suspect that there is something inside this matter?"
Qin Wan's eyes darkened, "Although the current evidence points to the third and fourth bedrooms, the second wife's matter has not yet been investigated, and the suspicion cannot be completely ruled out. Although we say the murderer should be a man, he is still a martial artist. Man, it is not difficult to guarantee that someone is colluding."
Yan Chi nodded, "I will send someone to investigate this matter."
That's all the news Qin Wan got from Meng Yao's place, so she didn't say any more. She took the silk handkerchief on the side and unfolded it. Inside was the brown-black granule with no name. Qin Wan looked at the brow granule Wrinkled tightly, "I have to go back and think about these things. If I can find out what this is, I will definitely make great progress."
Seeing her serious face, Yan Chi sighed softly, "Okay, but don't put too much pressure on yourself, you were supposed to see the Empress Dowager every day, plus this matter, I'm afraid you're too overworked."
Qin Wan put away the handkerchief, but smiled, "I like seeing doctors and autopsies, and I don't feel tired. Don't worry, and these things I do are effortless. You can do other things." He and Master Zheng have already done it."
"It doesn't take physical effort, but it takes mental effort." Yan Chi held Qin Wan's hand, with a bit of pity in his eyes, "If I didn't know that you are good at this, I would never let you intervene in these matters."
Qin Wan smiled, "Isn't it a matter of accumulating virtue and blessing to save the living and avenge the dead?"
Yan Chi's phoenix eyes narrowed, "Compared to you, the living and the dead are nothing."
After the low-pitched words were settled, Qin Wan seemed to smell the hustle and bustle of blood, and she quickly grabbed Yan Chi's hand, "This is Lin'an, the matter of the living and the dead is important."
Yan Chi's eyes were slightly loose, and the corners of his lips were curved. Qin Wan felt relieved. She didn't know that even though Yan Chi could be like a fish in water in the court of the capital, Shuoxi's law was what he liked and followed. the law!
There, there is only hatred and killing against the enemy and the enemy, what are other personnel matters
After returning to the Hou's Mansion, Qin Wan and Hu Shi greeted each other, and immediately went back to Songfengyuan, poured out the black and brown particles in the handkerchief, and washed them in water several times. Can change the color of the particles.
Yan Chi said that this thing looks like the seeds of plants, Qin Wan thinks so, but as far as Qin Wan knows, the seeds of many flowers and trees grow like this, and even many medicinal materials grow like this, so what exactly is it in her hand
"What are you ladies doing?"
Qin Wan was contemplating, but Qin Shuang came in from the outside. She was wearing a peony silk flower today, and her cloud-like black hair immediately became brighter because of the embellishment of this silk flower. Qin Wan raised her eyes and suddenly found that Qin Shuang has actually undergone a slight change. When he was in Jinzhou, Qin Shuang was still a little fat, but now, Qin Shuang seems to have lost a little weight. For a while, the lines on his face became more slender and fit, and when he was quiet and silent , as if he had changed into a different person.
Da Zhou regards women as beautiful, and seeing Qin Shuang becoming more mellow and lovely, Qin Wan couldn't help laughing in his heart. After all, he was going to talk about the married person, "I just came back and didn't do anything. Ban Xia, pour tea— "
Qin Wan ordered, and put the disk containing the unknown thing aside.
Qin Shuang came over and saw the thing in front of Qin Wan at a glance, "Hey, what is this?"
As she spoke, she was about to take it with her hands. Qin Wan watched her white fingertips draw the particles back and forth, hesitated for a moment and said, "It was taken out from the stomach of the deceased during the autopsy today."
Qin Shuang was taken aback for a moment, jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and shook the hand that touched those particles, "What, what?! The stuff in the dead man's stomach! Then why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Seeing her frightened and flustered, Qin Wan couldn't help laughing, "You move too fast, how can I tell you?"
As he said, he shook the porcelain plate in his hands, "I'll clean everything, don't worry."
Qin Shuang took out a handkerchief and kept wiping her fingers, with a bitter expression on her face, "I'll tell you why you came back so late today, and you went to have an autopsy on you again! No matter how you wash this thing, it's still waiting in the stomach of a dead person." But I thought it was you who wanted to plant flowers just now, and I wanted to say that I would plant them with you, but the result, the result... "
Qin Shuang's face was full of tears, Qin Wan was only afraid that she would cry, so he couldn't help pulling her to sit down again, "Okay, okay, this thing is really clean, look, I don't just put it in my hand Up?"
Qin Wan poured the porcelain dish into her hand, and counted all the particles into her palm, she lowered her voice and said, "These things are related to that person's grievances, I'm just thinking about what these are, if I figure it out, I can solve the case child."
Qin Wan's tone was mysterious. As soon as Ban Xia walked in, she stopped talking immediately. Seeing this, Qin Shuang was also infected by her tone, and she would definitely stop acting disgusted. When Ban Xia stepped back , Qin Shuang just looked at Qin Wan, "What you said is true? Is this something to solve the case?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Why are you lying to me, there is a new case in the city."
Qin Shuang blinked her eyes, "It can't be... the case of the Meng Mansion, right?"
Qin Wan continued to nod, "It's the Meng family's case..."
Qin Shuang still disliked the things in the stomach of the dead, but began to look carefully at Qin Wan's palm, and stared at Qin Wan for a moment, "Okay, you are getting more and more ghostly now, coax me to help you investigate the case, These things are very unlucky. As a daughter of yours, if you often come into contact with dead people, you will be tainted with death. Anyway, it is a bit taboo... "
Qin Wan just wanted to say that compared to contacting dead people, she had already died once, but she was afraid of scaring Qin Shuang, so she didn't say, "I know what you mean, don't worry, just now you said you thought I was Want to plant flowers?"
Qin Shuang nodded, "Yes, isn't this a flower seed?"
Sitting next to Qin Shuang, Qin Wan shook his head, "Not necessarily, this kind of small shape and color seeds, in addition to flower seeds, are also many plant seeds. Most of them can be used as medicine. I can't be sure right now."
Qin Shuang tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I'll get you something!"
As she said she got up and was about to leave, Qin Wan hurriedly said, "Don't tell anyone about this."
When she said this, Qin Shuang suddenly felt that Qin Wan was treating her close, and even told her such secrets. How could he remember being afraid and taboo for a while, so he just straightened his chest, "Don't worry!" Then he ran out.
Qin Wan saw her smiling slightly, but didn't know what Qin Shuang was going to do.
Soon, I saw Qin Shuang walking in with a small box in her arms. As soon as she entered, she opened the box as if offering a treasure. When she opened it, she saw that there were small cloth bags inside, with notes on them. Qin Wan glanced at it. I just saw the word "Peony", and then I looked at it, but it was all the words "Peony" and "Jasmine".
Qin Wan's eyes lit up slightly, and Qin Shuang said, "Spring will start after a while, and I don't like the flowers in my yard, so I plan to grow flowers myself. I asked Wan Qing to go to the craftsman in Fuzhong to ask for these. , I plan to put my hands back in the yard after a while, just open it up and have a look, compare and compare, and see which one looks like, it’s all right?"
"Why are you so smart!" Qin Wan seldom praised Qin Shuang's intelligence, but this time it was from the bottom of her heart. She hurriedly opened Qin Shuang's flower seed bags one by one, and compared them one by one!
Qin Shuang got compliments, became more and more interested, and helped Qin Wan together, but soon, the joy disappeared on the faces of the two of them. The peony seeds were not so small, the rhododendron seeds were more slender, and the peonies were darker in color. , Jasmine's color is lighter... Judging from this, there is no one who is the most similar.
"This... is this a jasmine seed?"
Qin Shuang was a little suspicious, but Qin Wan shook his head, "No, these seeds are rounder than jasmine seeds."
"Then... are peony seeds?"
Qin Wan is familiar with the principles of medicine, and she is naturally more precise in distinguishing one. She compared it carefully, and finally shook her head, "Where are those craftsmen? Are there other flower seeds?"
Anyway, nothing happened, and the method of comparison Qin Shuang said was simple, so Qin Wan decided to take this trip.
After saying this, Qin Shuang stood up, "I know, I'll take you there!"
It was still early, the two of them put on their cloaks, and each took their servants out of the courtyard. There were many servants in the Hou's mansion, and there were also many craftsmen. All the servants lived in the lower courtyard on the west side of the mansion. Qin Wan had never been here before. Here, it was Qin Shuang who brought her over. The mansion's gardeners who specialize in gardening flowers and plants are a father and son. Hearing that the two ladies wanted to plant flowers with seeds, he hurriedly took them to the warehouse.
"Miss Jiu, here are the seeds of twenty or thirty kinds of flowers and trees, what do you want?"
Qin Wan hurriedly said, "Let me see for myself—"
None of the seeds in the storeroom had any logos. Qin Wan took a look and found that some of them were indeed similar to the ones in Qin Wan's hands. Then, like peony and jasmine, they were still different after careful comparison. The old gardener said, "What miss wants is What?"
Qin Wan bent her lips and took out the seeds in her sleeve, "Please help me find out what kind of flower seeds these are. They were given to me by someone else, so I won't take duplicates today."
Qin Wan unfolded the veil, the old gardener looked at it, and said with a smile, "Miss Nine, these are rose seeds, they should have been soaked in water, but they seem to have been soaked too much, Miss Nine, wait, this old slave is going to get some new ones for you."
With that said, the old gardener walked to a corner and took out new rose seeds from a cloth bag.
When these seeds were taken out, Qin Wan had just seen the original appearance of the rose seeds. Presumably the ones in Qin Wan's hands, the ones held by the old gardener were a little lighter in color. Qin Wan did not dare to be careless, "Do you admit your mistake?"
The old gardener smiled and said, "How can I admit my mistake? The old slave has been planting flowers all his life, and even if he closes his eyes and asks for the smell, he can tell the smell. Before planting flowers, the flower seeds are soaked to germinate, but the young lady held The ones are already soaked, they are dead, if the young lady wants to plant them, she will take new ones."
Qin Wan naturally believed the words of a craftsman who had been planting flowers and plants for decades, so he nodded, and took four or five kinds of flower seeds before leaving. As soon as he came out of the servant's room, Qin Shuang said happily, "How is it?! Or I came up with the idea! Didn’t I find it?! The rose flower turned out to be the seed of the rose flower, but why was it eaten?”
Qin Wan was also thinking about this question, "Chinese rose seeds can be used as medicine."
Qin Shuang opened his eyes, "What's the use?"
"It can clear away heat and detoxify, reduce swelling and relieve pain, eliminate rheumatism, and also treat women's menstrual disorders." At this point, Qin Wan paused again, "It can also treat rashes, mouth ulcers, and cough and asthma."
Qin Shuang didn't notice Qin Wan's strangeness, "Little flower seeds actually have this effect?"
The corners of Qin Wan's lips twitched, "Taking this alone can't really cure the disease, it has to be used together with other medicines."
Qin Shuang nodded. Seeing that Qin Wan was lost in thought, she became a little suspicious. Seeing that Qin Wan was walking slowly, she didn't rush back. Instead, she took a few steps around the garden and walked to another road.
At a certain moment, Fuling suddenly let out a sigh, "This place is still the same..."
Qin Shuang stopped and turned to look, but saw a closed courtyard. This courtyard was in the northwest of the mansion. It was very quiet, but it seemed a bit bleak because no one lived there for a long time. Qin Wan came back to his senses and also saw this The courtyard flashed for a moment, but at this moment she was troubled by thoughts, but she didn't pay attention to Fuling's words, looked at the courtyard and turned to continue walking, Fuling caught up with her a step, "Miss, this is the courtyard where Miss used to live in when she was a child—"
Qin Wan paused, and Fu Ling said, "Miss lived here for two years after she was born, and then the master moved out to live alone. In the past, the master brought the young lady to play here when the servants followed the master and his wife to the Marquis Mansion. .”
Qin Wan frowned, looking at the word "He Ting" on the courtyard gate, he didn't know what expression to make, Qin Shuang already laughed, "Look at you, I even forgot the courtyard I lived in."
Qin Wan said calmly, "It's true that I can't remember a lot of things from the past, not to mention thinking of my father and mother when I see these." Qin Wan shook his head, "Let's go, let's go back."
Qin Shuang didn't dare to laugh anymore, and followed Qin Wan to Songfengyuan.
As soon as the group left, two people came out from the flower garden not far away. Mo Yi looked suspiciously at the direction Qin Wan left and said, "Miss, why doesn't Miss Jiu even remember the yard when she was a child? She said she was in Jinzhou I hurt my head when I was there, is it true or not? Speaking of which, Miss Jiu still wanted to live here when she was in the Hou Mansion, but she didn't succeed."
Qin Chaoyu knew what Mo Yi said. In the past, Qin Wan wanted to live in the courtyard where his father lived. However, because the place was a bit out of the way, Qin Shu was worried, so he let her live in Songfengyuan. When Wan came back, he still lived in Songfuyuan. But just now, she didn't seem to have any nostalgia for this Heting courtyard, Qin Chaoyu squinted his eyes for a moment, and felt weird.
…
…
Where will the seeds of rose flowers be used
When Qin Wan was thinking, he didn't like to be disturbed. Once he returned to the yard, he sat on the couch in front of the window and fell into deep thought.
With her appearance, Qin Shuang didn't dare to say much. After sitting for a while, she felt bored, and then went back to her yard.
Qin Wan looked at the newly picked Chinese rose seeds and thought for a while. These seeds can be used as medicine, but it is the depths of winter, and no one uses them to relieve the heat and clear away the heat. The rest is rheumatism and women's diseases. Asthma…
But how is this possible
Thinking of Meng Yao's face, Qin Wan didn't believe that this matter had anything to do with Meng Yao. Apart from that, there were only the second and fourth wives and the two mistresses of the third bedroom in the entire Meng Mansion.
It is not enough to have a mistress, but also a helper who can kill.
Thinking of this, Qin Wan thought of Meng Hui again.
Shaking his head, Qin Wan only felt that it was wrong for him to think so wildly, and then took a pen and paper to write a short message, explaining what he found, and Yan Chi and the others would check the rest.
After finishing writing, Qin Wan called Bai Ying, "Send this to him."
Bai Ying mastered the method of contacting Yan Chi, heard that she took the text message and delivered it herself.
After the news was sent out, Qin Wan felt at ease. At night, a letter eagle landed in the back hall of Songfengyuan, and Bai Ying took off the letter box. Qin Wan felt even more at ease when he saw it.
For two consecutive days, Qin Wan did not receive any news from the Meng family. She went to the palace every day to see a doctor for the Empress Dowager. Entering the palace was changed to once every two days, and on the eighth day of the eighth day, the Hu family was going to the Marquis of Wu'an for a banquet early in the morning.
Just after the hour, the four Qin Wan sisters in the Renshou Hall were all fully dressed and waiting.
Qin Chaoyu was still dressed in a luxurious and eye-catching red dress, coupled with a silver-red cloak, as bright and moving as Aoxue's winter plum, but Qin Wan was wearing a very plain light blue pleated dress with embroidered jasmine patterns , wearing a dark crow-blue cloak outside, which should have dimmed his appearance by two points.
When Hu entered the door and saw Qin Wan's outfit, she nodded with a smile, and then took another look at Qin Xiang, feeling even more satisfied.
Qin Xiang is today's protagonist. She is wearing a cherry pink short jacket and a lotus root white long skirt. Outside is a water red cloak embroidered with butterfly patterns. Her clothes are not as luxurious as Qin Chaoyu's. She was not as pure and elegant as Qin Wan, but it perfectly complemented her beautiful appearance. From a distance, she looked like a beautiful lady from the southern country with picturesque features.
Although Qin Shuang on the one side is not as careful as Qin Xiang in dressing up, she is a bit more careful. She is not like Qin Chaoyu and Qin Xiang, who are full of pearls and hairpins. , was extremely elegant and striking, and with the lip balm on her lips, she was delicate and pretty, completely different from the other three.
Mrs. Hu looked over one by one, and felt that the four girls were all very good-looking, so she couldn't help leading them out of the house with satisfaction.
Marquis Wu'an's Mansion is in Xing'an Square to the east, not too far away, and the time will arrive when the carriage has gone two sticks of incense. Compared with Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion seems to be smaller, but it doesn't affect the spirit of our clan. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the mansion, someone came to welcome them. The one who came was the nurse next to Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Marquis of Wu'an, leading Hu and her party to Mrs. Song's courtyard.
Along the way, Qin Xiang kept his gaze straight and raised his chin slightly, showing the demeanor of an aristocratic daughter. She was well-bred in Jinzhou, and the rules and etiquette were all useless. It's just that she was spoiled in Jinzhou. No one scolded her for the ceremony. When she arrived in the capital, the benefits of her education were reflected. The nanny who led the way looked back from time to time, and Qin Xiang was the one who looked the most. The nanny seemed very satisfied, changing flowers Several compliments to Qin Xiang.
Qin Shuang did not receive such a good upbringing in the Qin Mansion of Jinzhou, and she lost her mother early on. Later, she followed Qin Xiang and was ordered around badly. Fortunately, she changed her temperament later, and she also paid attention to the rules after arriving in the capital. Now she behaves Although her temperament and demeanor are not as good as Qin Xiang's, but because she is younger than Qin Xiang, she is somewhat lively and pretty.
Passing through the flowery and tree-lined corridors of Marquis Wu'an's Mansion, everyone soon arrived at Mrs. Song's yard. When Mrs. Hu heard that Mrs. Hu was coming, she walked to the door to greet her. Mrs. Hu smiled and greeted Mrs. Qi, and met Mrs. Qi again. After saluting, she asked Qin Wan and the others to salute one by one. Mrs. Song looked at a few people kindly, and she couldn't hide her smile when she saw how beautiful Qin Xiang was dressed today.
Mrs. Hu helped Mrs. Song to sit down, and she listened to Mrs. Song, "Today I invited the cook from Zuixianlou, and I also invited a painter to come. Later, I will ask Minqing to bring some young ones to play in the front garden with you. .”
Hu smiled and said, "Of course I will accompany you old man, let the younger ones go and play by themselves."
Song curled her lips, "I'm going to need some medicine later, how can I let you accompany me?" She said looking at Qin Wan, "Jiu Miss is coming today, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Jiu Miss again..."
Qin Wan hurried forward, "Why bother, I should ask the old lady for her pulse later, but I think the old lady's complexion has improved a little..."
Mrs. Qi hurriedly said, "Miss Nine's medical skills are really excellent. Mother has used your medicine and she is much more comfortable when she comes back."
Mrs. Song took Qin Wan's hand, and Mrs. Qi greeted Qin Chaoyu to sit down. Without wasting time, Qin Wan took Mrs. Song's pulse in the hall. Because her pulse had improved, she immediately let Mrs. Song He and Qi's were relieved.
After sitting in this hall for a while, and talking about the busyness of the New Year, Mrs. Song said, "Okay, let Minqing take you around the garden. The plum blossoms are just in bloom. If you don't see them, you will be thankful."
Mrs. Qi is two years younger than Mrs. Hu, and her temperament is also very enthusiastic and lively. Because she is familiar with Qin Chaoyu, she immediately dragged Qin Chaoyu to go first. Mrs. Hu took a step back and said in a low voice, "Old lady, how did you arrange it?"
Mrs. Song laughed and said, "Brother Wen invited colleagues from the patrol battalion over today, they are all young lads, and the children from that family will be inside. Later, you go to the small building and sit, and Brother Wen will lead the They go over, you take a look, and let your girl take a look, if you want me to say, you can't go wrong."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Song whispered, "It's a man in a green shirt, don't mistake him."
The elder brother Wen that the old lady spoke of was Chen Zhaowen, the eldest son of the Marquis of Wu'an. Hu knew that he had explained to Chen Zhaowen as soon as he heard it.
Mrs. Qi led a group of people into the garden of the Hou Mansion. Sure enough, they saw a plum grove within a short distance. During the walk, they asked people to pick off a branch of plum blossom and take them to a small building not far away to put them in vases.
The name of the small building is Guanyue Building, and it is a good place to see the whole plum grove at a glance. Mrs. Qi led the crowd directly to the second floor. The windows are half open, the room is warm but not stuffy, Qi pushed open the window facing Meilin, and suddenly a large area of Meilin came into view.
Mrs. Hu praised, "You still enjoy it, we don't have such a view in our mansion."
Mrs. Qi smiled and pulled Mrs. Hu to sit down, "Don't say that, there are many terraces and waterside pavilions in your house, and we only have this plum forest. Master Hou loves plums, and he insists on protecting this forest well. It blooms in winter It's good, other times it can seem ordinary tight."
The Hu family and the Qi family talked in a homely manner, while the four of Qin Wan stood by the window and watched Meilin. Today, the Marquis of Wu'an only invited the Qin family to keep the matter of seeing each other a secret, but the people present did not We all know what we are here for today.
Qin Chaoyu stood beside Qin Xiang, pointing to a small road not far away, "Someone should come from there later, just see if it suits you."
As she spoke, Qin Xiang's face was already slightly red, she nodded, her eyes looked nervously and expectantly at the path outside the plum grove, Qin Shuang couldn't help joking softly when she saw her like this, "I can't wait for a while. Look, people don't know we're here yet."
Qin Xiang hit Qin Shuang, and her face was even more embarrassing. She usually put on airs, but at the moment she was a little girlish. She didn't know what family Hu had told her, and now she was full of expectations.
Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Qi also heard what the four little sisters said, but they just pretended they didn't hear them and continued talking about the family affairs. Qin Chaoyu looked at the bright red Mei Lin in boredom, but he was not interested in that candidate.
If it wasn't for Qin Xiang, she wouldn't have come here to see a little deputy lieutenant Cong Qipin Yihui at all.
Qin Xiang twisted the silk handkerchief with both hands, although he wanted to pretend he didn't care much, but his eyes couldn't leave the plum forest path. After waiting for a cup of tea, a figure appeared at the end of the path.
The servant standing by the window came up to refill the tea. Mrs. Qi saw it and said with a smile, "Sister, we should enjoy the plum blossoms too."
Hu Shi got up with a smile, and walked to another window with Qi Shi.
The four sisters stood at the same place, and the two of the Hu family stood at the same place. Looking to the northwest, they saw seven or eight young men walking over the path talking and laughing.
At first, he couldn't see clearly, but when people approached, Qin Xiang saw the man in white clothes walking in the front at a glance. Against the background, it looks particularly eye-catching, but the most eye-catching thing is the high spirits on the man's face, and I don't know what he said, which caused all the people behind to laugh loudly, and the laughter echoed in the plum forest. The masculinity and free and easy spirit of the young men also follow the wind.
Qin Xiang's bright eyes fell on the man in white, and her heart beat fast. She never expected that the man who came to see him today turned out to be such an outstanding man. Although he had never approached him before, the man's face was like a crown jade, and his figure was very handsome. , with a confident and proud smile, and the unrestrained nobility in his gestures and gestures is fully revealed. Not only that, he walked at the front of the team, obviously the most prominent existence among the seven or eight people. Xiayun Manman, her gaze fell on that person motionlessly, how could other people catch her eyes? Although she still doesn't know who this person is, she can tell at a glance that he is from a noble family!
On this side, Mrs. Hu said with a smile, "Madam Song really has a good eye."
Qi Shi also said, "That's not true, back then I was valued by my mother!"
Mrs. Hu burst into a smile when she heard the words, "The old madam loves you, and you are not ashamed to say that..."
In fact, the jokes with Mrs. Hu also fell into Qin Xiang's ears. Upon hearing Mrs. Hu's words of affirmation, her eyes became brighter. She was worried that her uncle and aunt would ignore her, but now it seems that they are It was really planned for her!
On the other side, the Qi family said again, "I am working in the patrol battalion, and I will have a bright future in the future."
When Qin Xiang heard this, his heart became hot again. No wonder he looked at this group of people who behaved like a general. It turned out that they were not only born noble, but also received an errand? Qin Xiang knew that there were many children of nobles in the capital who only enjoyed the shade of their ancestors all their lives and had no intention of making achievements. However, those who entered official positions must be carefully cultivated by the family and will be entrusted with the task of prosperity of the family in the future. Such people must have the ability and means , Ambitious and ambitious, coupled with the support of the family, how can he not rise to the top in the future
Qin Xiang seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat, but at this moment, the group of young men stopped, as if specially to make them look like each other, but the man in white turned his back and said to the people behind him started talking.
Qin Xiang felt that the man's back was so handsome and incomparably handsome, and he was a little dazed looking at it, but Mrs. Hu came to her side. Mrs. Hu took her hand and said softly, "Xiang'er, the man in the green shirt What do you think?"
Qin Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and almost doubted that he heard it wrong, "Qing...shirt?"
Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Qi were having fun talking just now, and she didn't pay attention to Qin Xiang's tone for a while, and nodded, "Yes, take a closer look. I just said that he looks good and his bearing is not bad. Seeing him standing Among the crowd, it is really conspicuous... "
Hu was talking to herself, not noticing that the clouds on Qin Xiang's face receded completely in an instant, she froze, and turned to look at the figure in the blue shirt in the crowd in disbelief.
Seeing this, Qin Xiang clenched his teeth.
From the moment these people appeared, Qin Xiang only saw the man in white shirt, and the rest of them also glanced at him, but they were completely unattractive, and this group of people obviously looked forward to the man in white shirt, so Qin Xiang unconsciously looked at him. If she missed that person, today she is the protagonist, and the person she looks at should also be the protagonist. Thinking of this, Qin Xiang has already made an assumption.
But now Mrs. Hu told her that the man in the green shirt was the one she was looking for, her future husband
There was indeed a man in blue shirt standing beside the man in white shirt, but Qin Xiang couldn't see anything attractive about his appearance when he looked over. The sense of dignity and handsomeness is rather clumsy and rustic. Speaking of bearing, he stood on the edge of the line the whole time. Qin Xiang didn't even see him interrupting. Everyone's focus was on the man in white shirt. Where is the man in blue shirt? conspicuous? !
Not only that, although this person is extremely tall, he has broad shoulders and thick arms. He has no elegance and nobility in his whole body, like a rough man who can only do physical work. Future husband? !
Qin Xiang lowered her head abruptly, she didn't want to watch it any longer, she was afraid that if she continued to watch it, she would not be able to help showing disdain, a feeling of grievance surfaced in her heart, but Hu still said, "Look at He is reliable and will love others, he is currently the Deputy Lieutenant of the Patrol Battalion, he will be promoted step by step in the future, there is no limit."
Qin Xiang felt a coolness creeping up from the soles of his feet!
Lieutenant Yihui? ! The seventh-rank deputy lieutenant Yihui? !
Said he was called Yihui Deputy Lieutenant, but in fact he was just a vulgar low-ranking soldier. The capital was full of noble sons, how could it be someone else's turn to be promoted? !
Qin Xiang clenched his teeth, shaking his head violently in his heart.
No, this is not the husband she wants. How can such a man be worthy of her? !
All kinds of grievances and anger, but Qin Xiang still remembers that this is the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion. Based on her current situation, let alone the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, she must not be too presumptuous in front of Qin Shu and his wife. No matter how impulsive she is, she still knows this of.
"Xiang'er, what do you think?"
Mrs. Hu asked again, and turned her eyes, only to see that Qin Xiang had lowered his head.
Qin Xiang said in a low voice, "Of course my aunt said it was good."
Mrs. Hu didn't know Qin Xiang well, so she took it seriously when she heard her. Seeing her lowering her head, she thought she was ashamed and annoyed. What's more, she almost confirmed the marriage in her heart, and it was Qin Xiang who said no. Well, she wouldn't just follow her casually, so when she heard Qin Xiang's words, she was very happy to express her opinion as Qin Xiang.
At this moment, it seemed that they knew that they had finished reading each other, and several men walked towards the other side talking and laughing, and Hu sighed again, "Your Majesty is really more and more handsome, very much like the Marquis when he was young."
Qi said with a smile, "He has just received his job not long ago, and he still has to practice."
Hu said something to Qin Xiang in a low voice. Qin Xiang didn't hear clearly, but she just realized that the person she was looking at just now turned out to be Marquis Wu'an. Yes, in Marquis Wu's mansion, only Marquis Wu'an could do that. All the stars hold the moon!
Afterwards, Qin Xiang couldn't hear what Hu and Qi said clearly, and she just laughed at Qin Shuang's jokes. Her head was chaotic, and her ears were even roaring. I don't know how long it took. , she was dragged down by Qin Shuang down the Guanyue Tower in a daze, Qin Chaoyu didn't pay attention to Qin Xiang at all, Qin Shuang was careless, only Qin Wan noticed Qin Xiang's abnormality.
Qin Xiang was just lowering his head to avoid everyone's gaze, not really shy and happy.
After thinking about it for a while, how could Qin Wan not know Qin Xiang's thoughts? She must be dissatisfied with the straightforward and honest Deputy Lieutenant Yihui just now... Qin Wan hesitated to speak, but how could Qin Xiang listen to her? Now that she went to explain it by herself, she might still feel that she was laughing at her, so with a sigh, Qin Wan covered up her thoughts.
On this side, as soon as the group walked out of Meilin, they saw two servants walking up to Mrs. Qi holding a painting. The six people of Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Qi were all vivid in the painting. In the scene of viewing the plum grove, six people appeared in the window frame to varying degrees, and this large piece of plum grove is the most beautiful foreground. In the picture above, this large plum grove is depicted like a sea of smoke. At a glance, it makes people feel that the beauty is climbing the fairy tower, and there are clouds floating below the fairy tower.
The layout of the whole painting is already visible, but the figures are drawn in more detail, while the scenery is not yet detailed.
The servant said, "Ma'am, this is Master Song's drawing—"
Mrs. Qi looked at it, smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, everything depends on Master Song."
Qin Guan had heard Meng Yao tell about how nobles in Beijing invited painters to paint, and the first time he saw the paintings, his heart suddenly became clear, and Qi Shi also said at this time, "The painter is just now in the rockery pavilion in front. His position He happened to see us upstairs in Guanyue Building." He said in a low voice, "Don't worry, he can't see Wen'er and the others, so he doesn't know our purpose."
Only then did Mr. Hu feel relieved, and started talking and laughing with Mr. Qi again. The group continued to move forward. No one saw that Qin Wan's face changed instantly when he heard Mr. Qi's words...
Qin Wan stood at the same place, first looked at the rockery pavilion not far away, then looked back at the window on the second floor of Guanyue Building, and then, Qin Wan looked at the place where Chen Zhaowen and his party walked by just now, these three points Due to the distance and the shadow of Mei Lin, the painter did not know the existence of Chen Zhaowen and his party.
And if the Merlin turned into a courtyard, the painter also doesn't know what they are looking at upstairs.
Thinking of this, Qin Wan almost couldn't help but want to leave Hou's mansion to find Yanchi.
