After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains
Chapter 19: Hating iron but not steel
Taking the fifth child away was just a spur-of-the-moment idea of Qin Yaoguang. Later, he thought that he could use the same trick against the other children to test the reactions of the five children.
What she didn't expect was that this test would be so successful.
The second brother actually proposed to make a deal.
Qin Yaoguang looked at Lao Er, who kowtowed to her in a proper manner, with great interest and said, "Stand up and talk. You want to make a deal with me? Everything you eat, wear and use is mine. What can you trade with me?"
To be honest, even though she knew that the second child would be extremely intelligent when he grew up, and would be a master at manipulating the chess game and controlling people's hearts.
But looking at the twelve-year-old, skinny boy in front of her, she really couldn't regard him as the biggest villain in the book.
Only twelve years old!
I haven’t graduated from junior high school yet!
Even if he starts primary school at the age of six, at most he is a child who has just entered the first grade of junior high school.
What's more, the second brother had regular facial features but they were not outstanding. Only the look in his eyes could barely show his extraordinary qualities.
In comparison, the fourth child has a pretty appearance even before she grows up, and she is definitely a beauty in the making.
The fifth child has a pointed chin and is cute. The eldest child has strong features and a huge frame. If we start to give him enough nutrition now, we can see that he will be handsome and brave when he grows up.
Among the five, the third one had the most outstanding facial features, and the original book described him as "handsome like a demon". However, when Qin Yaoguang thought of the scene where he cut his palm with a porcelain shard with an expressionless face, her head ached.
Qin Yaoguang collected her thoughts and looked at the second brother standing in front of her and asked, "What do you want to trade?"
The second child lowered his head and saw the fifth child's little feet hanging down from the corner of his eyes. He chose his words carefully and said, "Mother, a few days ago, I was outside Chuntang Garden and saw Dazhu coming out. I followed him for a while and saw him take out a jade cup from his arms. He looked at it several times before putting it back."
Qin Yaoguang listened with some nonchalantness, thinking: Oh, so it turns out that this is the common drama of collusion between insiders and outsiders.
With Zhou Qinghe's halo as the protagonist, the original owner seemed to be obsessed with Xiao's mother and daughter. They were obviously distant relatives living in the princess's mansion, and they had the embarrassing identity of a former fiancée. However, the mother and daughter were treated equally to the food, clothing and expenses of the young ladies from the wealthy families in the capital, and they were not treated unfairly.
This jade cup must have been given to Xiao by the original owner as a reward, and Xiao asked someone to exchange it for silver.
Zhou Qinghe wants to do big things. It is obviously not enough to just eat well and use things well. She has many places to spend money.
The second brother secretly glanced at her expression and saw that she didn't take it to heart, so he dropped another bombshell and said, "Dazhu is the son of Wang, the steward of the outer courtyard. I also heard that Miss Zhou once saved Dazhu's life."
Qin Yaoguang was stunned.
What should she say? Should she say that Zhou Qinghe is worthy of being the heroine of the original book, and the protagonist's halo is blinding? It was so easy to bribe the biggest steward of the outer courtyard.
Her princess mansion is like a sieve!
With Manager Wang as a channel, and the good things that the original owner would bring into Chuntang Garden during festivals, it’s no wonder that Zhou Qinghe has never been short of money!
Cheating!
Qin Yaoguang swore in the name of the God of Time Travel that this crucial plot was not mentioned at all in the original book! So, wherever there are omissions, will the plot line automatically check for omissions and make the plot complete?
Besides this, how much else was there that she didn't know?
The prophetic advantage that she was proud of was severely discounted.
If she hadn't taken the fifth child away, the second child who had been hiding behind the scenes would not have been forced to appear in front of the stage and ask her for the person and use the information in his hand to make a deal.
Qin Yaoguang put away his contempt, looked at the second brother and said slowly: "Second brother, you told me this news, what do you want to trade?"
The person in front of her was not just a freshman in junior high school, but a shrewd and calculating strategist.
The second son relied on his young age to get information in the princess's mansion. He probably knew more secrets than her! He remembered them one by one and used them as weapons. When the opportunity arose, he would throw one out and use it.
If she hadn't taken the fifth brother away, would the second brother have come to say these words to her?
Qin Yaoguang’s answer must be “no”.
Were all these children in ancient times so precocious? Qin Yaoguang stared at the second child, staring at his childish face, and his heart was shaken.
Being looked at like this by her, the second son, no matter how strong his mind was, was just a child. He shuddered and said, "Mother, I saw that you treated Miss Zhou so well, but she did such a betrayal. I am just angry."
Seeing that he was retreating to advance, Qin Yaoguang knew what he was thinking, so she took Lao Wu down from the couch, put the prepared rose water in Lao Wu's hand, and said to him, "Look, your second brother is here to see you, go and play by yourselves."
As he spoke, he stuffed the small silver spoon in his glass cup into the second brother's hand and said, "Try it too."
The second brother was overjoyed, but he remained calm and reached out to hold the hand of the fifth brother.
He had originally intended to use the information to save Lao Wu, but he was not sure. What if she turned against him after hearing the information? He did not have a good solution.
Saying "transaction" is just to attract the other party's attention.
He didn't expect it to be so smooth. He wanted to take Lao Wu's hand and run back to Zhufeng Courtyard, but under Qin Yaoguang's nose, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Who knows if this moody woman will change her expression the next moment?
Qin Yaoguang glanced at his tightly stretched wrist, and said to Lao Wu with a friendly expression: "Weren't you so happy when you saw it just now? Why don't you eat it now that you have it in your hand?"
Don't eat?
Did he not want to?
It was his second brother who held his hand tightly, forcing him not to move.
Lao Wu watched Bai Lu scoop out a spoonful of rouge-like rose dew from the incredibly beautiful transparent jar with a silver spoon that looked like petals.
He swore that he had never seen such beautiful food in his life. The burgundy rose petals were hidden in the soft, ice-like translucent substance. It tasted fragrant and sweet. It must be delicious!
Although Lao Wu’s knowledge is limited, Qin Yaoguang finally understands what the precious “rose dew” in the book is like.
To put it bluntly, it is a drink similar to honey grapefruit tea.
It should be made by picking fresh rose petals, distilling them, and then carefully marinating them with fine honey. Perhaps there is some process that she does not understand. In short, it is worthy of the name of "tribute" and is many times more delicious than the osmanthus honey sauce she bought in the supermarket.
Not to mention Xiaowu, even she felt unsatisfied after eating it.
The fifth brother had already been tempted, but his right hand was firmly held by the second brother, so he couldn't reach for the spoon. When asked by Qin Yaoguang, he simply picked up the cup with his left hand and took a sip, closing his eyes with an extremely comfortable expression.
The second brother was so disappointed with his friend that he pinched his fingers.
"Brother, do you want to eat too?"
However, the fifth brother misunderstood his meaning. He tried to raise his short little hand and put the cup to the second brother's mouth, looking at him as if he was presenting a treasure.
