The butler immediately ordered, and arranged for someone to guard the gate, and the two clever young men in the front porter only focused on doing this.
Sure enough, not long after I had lunch, I was eating melon seeds in the concierge, and two officials from the government came to the door.
The young man hurriedly greeted him and asked the other party who to look for. The officer went to the general mansion, but he didn't dare to make trouble. He arched his hands with a smile and said, "Excuse me, is General Qin here? We are a little bit. I have to return to the general for trivial matters."
The young man shook his head and said: "The general is not there, I don't know what is going on with the two of you. If it is convenient, leave a name sticker, and the young one will submit it as soon as the general returns."
The two hesitated and said, "Forgive me, I wonder if there is a Mrs. Chen in the house?"
The young men looked at each other and smiled and said: "Second-father official, there is only one Aunt Chen in our house, and there is no Mrs. Chen."
The officer was a little embarrassed, so he laughed and said, "That's right, can we see this Aunt Chen?"
The young man laughed happily, but he didn't leave much room for words, "The two officials, it's not a small refutation of your face, but... Let's put it this way, you probably can see that we are about to have a happy event in our house, Miss San To marry the third prince as a concubine, Aunt Chen is busy with this. Besides, our house is now the steward of the eldest lady. If you want anything, it is better to say to the eldest first."
The officials couldn't help being a little surprised. This is the first time the general mansion came back. He didn't expect that there was a lady headed here. Although she was a prostitute, this situation was not common.
Also, why did Mrs. Chen become an aunt? It seems that what the kid said is really not true.
They thought to themselves that this matter is not ordinary and can't be taken care of.
After making up their minds, the two said: "Brother, please tell me, we are indeed in a hurry."
Xiao Si nodded, and told them to wait a moment, and then quickly walked to the inner house to find Qin Youran to report the incident.
Qin Youran was reading in the room, and Le Qiao came in and said, "Miss, the person at the door is here to report that someone is looking for Mrs. Chen."
"Oh?" Qin Youran immediately sneered slightly, really coming.
"Look at..."
"let them
Bring people to the front hall, I'll be there later. "Qin Youran put down the book and said.
Le Qiao went, and Xiao Si obeyed the order and brought the two officials to the front hall to offer tea and told them to wait.
The two of them had no intention of drinking tea. They waited patiently. After about half a cup of tea, they heard the sound of footsteps outside, and they turned their heads and looked at them, and they were taken aback.
Two women walked outside. The one in front was wearing a moon-white dress and a beige cloak, reflecting the snow in the courtyard. The whole person was like a fairy in the snow. She walked very slowly, but she was very steady. A cold breath.
She is extremely beautiful, her eyebrows are flying like unfolded blue wings, and the corners of her eyes are slightly raised, bringing out a bit sharp, and there is a red mark in the corner of her eyes, which does not make people feel ugly, on the contrary, there is a special... temperament.
They were surprised in their hearts and stood up involuntarily. Seeing this young lady, they couldn't help thinking of the style of seeing General Qin for the first time many years ago.
At that time, they had just joined the Beijing Zhaosi as a small government officer, and they happened to meet General Qin returning from the battle. The people in the city greeted him. The general was sitting on a horse, standing tall and tall, and returning in the afterglow of the scorching sun.
At that time, they admired and admired so much, they deserved to be the iron-blooded general, and their style was so outstanding!
When they saw Miss Qin today, they immediately admired in their hearts, they deserved to be the daughter of the general!
Qin Youran entered the house and recognized that one of them was the person headed last night, and smiled slightly, "I wonder what the two officials have to do in the house?"
The two returned to their senses, and the person headed yesterday stepped forward and said: "Miss Hui, we are the servants of Jing Zhaosi. In the next Zhang Chao, there was a robbery in Jincheng Jewelry Building last night. We caught the criminal, he He claimed that he was wronged, he said he was—yes..."
He "yes" for a long time and still doesn't come out. Finally, Qin Youran said, "The official, don't worry, take a sip of tea and speak slowly."
Zhang Chao swallowed a spit, and said, "He said that he is the younger brother of Mrs. Chen in the general's mansion. This is a misunderstanding. Our adults mean..."
"Mrs. Chen?" Qin Youran smiled lightly, "Guardian, don't you
Did you make a mistake? "
Zhang Chao choked, remembering what the little boy at the door had said, he muttered to himself, after thinking about it, and then said: "I have also inquired about, there is no Mrs. Chen in your house, only Aunt Chen, I wondered if that kid deliberately That said, I want to attract the attention of our adults, but anyway, is there an aunt in the mansion..."
Qin Youran stroked the corner of the table with her fingers, and said casually: "There is indeed an aunt in the mansion, but, the official, it is true that we are not a prominent family in Qin Mansion, but my father is very strict in his family management. Everyone must abide by it. House rules, especially after going out, are not allowed to violate the law or discipline. As for..."
She paused, and continued: "Other people, not the people in the house, we can't control. Before, there was still an old man with a father who wanted to use his father's reputation because he made a mistake, but didn't want to. After being found out by his father, although the government no longer pursues it, his father still used military law to deal with him. And..."
Qin Youran raised her hand and pointed outside, "The two officials must have seen it too. There is going to be a happy event in our house. Many people are busy with the marriage of the third sister. Aunt Chen is no exception, and she has no intention of taking care of anything else. Her younger brother is the third sister's uncle. How could he rob some jewelry store at this time? It's ridiculous."
The two officials looked at each other. When she said that, they denied it. However, it was right to think about it. Don't make trouble anymore. I just heard that the young man said that Qin's family is about to get married with the three princes, and his identity is becoming more prominent. If an inexplicable person comes to the mansion for questioning and annoys General Qin at that time, wouldn't it be a hole in the sky
Qin Youran thought for a while and said, "The two officials may as well go to other places to find out if this person has been to other places before the jewelry building? Can anyone testify?"
Zhang Chao replied: "We also asked. He said... We were in Beauty Garden before, but we asked the girl there. The girl who was with him said that he did go that night, but he didn't stay overnight as usual. It’s about something big to do."
Qin Youran was deliberately surprised and asked, "Could it be a major event... It's the robbery of the jewelry store, right?"
