Qiuxiang and Tang Bohu

Noisy human voices could be heard, and no one knew who was drinking too much, and actually sang a big show in the front yard.

The voice of "Yi Yi Ya Ya" was a bit harsh.

After walking halfway, Qiuxiang listened to the steps behind her, but she still didn't see Clover asking questions.Suddenly, I finally knew why Mrs. Hua chose Clover to serve. The co-author was the little maid who was shy and didn't like to talk, and her tone was strangely tight.

Qiu Xiang couldn't help but nodded and praised Mrs. Hua for her thoughtfulness, without showing any traces. Looking back at the expression of Clover's lowered head, Chunhua Courtyard was right in front of her eyes.

Chunhua courtyard was originally the closest courtyard to Mrs. Hua's main courtyard in the east courtyard, so Qiuxiang should be familiar with it.So after bypassing the arch, Qiuxiang knocked on the austere carved wooden door.

"Biao girl, I'm Qiuxiang." Qiuxiang called out after considering the address.Clover stood behind her.

Qiuxiang only knocked twice, and the door was quickly opened.

If you haven't seen him, hear his voice first.

Before Qiuxiang saw the woman in front of her clearly, she heard her soft and delicate voice like a spring breeze: "Did Hua, Biaogu ask you to come?"

"Yes." While Qiuxiang was speaking, she finally raised her head to see her clearly. She was wearing a plain skirt with green leaves embroidered with mangoes, no powder and a white jade hairpin on her hair.Her lips were not vermilion, they were light in color, but it matched her clothes just right. She had a slender figure and her waist was like a willow.

Although her dress is not outstanding, her innate temperament can't be fooled by others. There is a kind of elegance and comfort in her body.

Qiuxiang took another look at her expression, probably because of the long journey, her eyes seemed to be slightly tired.

But the most important thing is - above the cheekbone below her right eye, there is indeed a tear mole.

Qiu Xiang's heart suddenly jumped, and she didn't know why she decided at this moment that this woman was the person King Ning was looking for. She seemed to be only about the same age as herself, so how could she have anything to do with King Ning?

The doubts in my heart suddenly rose to a peak.

But at this moment Qiuxiang didn't dare to look any further, for fear that the other party would notice, she respectfully said, "Cousin girl, madam asked me to call Clover to serve the girl."

Hearing this, the light in the other party's eyes seemed to pause for a moment, and she replied lightly: "My cousin has a heart."

This answer is exactly the same as Hua Taishi's, but the mind is probably obviously different.

The two sides greeted each other and exchanged a few pleasantries, but Qiuxiang was not ready to stay any longer.So she left Alfalfa to serve in Chunhua Courtyard, and she returned to Mrs. Hua alone.

This time it was busy again.

By the time the people who had feasted in the front hall were gone, it was already sunset, and the day soon came to dusk.

As the dusk fell, and finally got some free time, Dongxiang held Qiuxiang's clothes and said, "Sister Qiuxiang, tell me! Where did you go to be lazy! Let me find it easier!"

Qiuxiang had no choice but to reply: "I'm not being lazy, I took Clover to serve my cousin."

"Cousin girl?" Chunxiang appeared out of nowhere, and she was surprised, "When did a cousin girl come to Washington?"

Qiuxiang couldn't understand why she became so nervous, so she just spread her hands and said, "Madam said it was her distant cousin and niece, so it must be the cousin girl."

Chunxiang frowned, her eyes were slightly more worried, she pondered for a moment, she turned her head and ran, coming and going quickly, the pink figure disappeared in front of her eyes.

Dongxiang touched her head, and asked in surprise, "What is she running so fast for?"

Qiuxiang smiled.Dongxiang doesn't know, so it doesn't mean that Qiuxiang doesn't know. Chunxiang is probably going to inquire about the cousin girl now. It's obvious what she has in mind. The two young masters in Washington have already reached the marriageable age. Make people think in that direction.

But this time Chunxiang must not be able to find out anything. Originally, this cousin was a fake, so how could anyone know.

When the banquet was over, several people were exhausted.

Qiuxiang thought about it and always felt that the woman's identity would be a hidden danger. She wanted to discuss it with Tang Yin, but Hua Wu was taken to the study by Hua Taishi to consider her homework, and Tang Yin, who was a school boy, naturally accompanied her.

With no other choice, Qiuxiang had to rest early.

However, when Qiuxiang went to help Mrs. Hua get up the next day, Mrs. Hua took a look at Qiuxiang and said suddenly: "Qiuxiang..."

"Madam, do you have something to tell Qiuxiang?" Madam Hua hasn't looked at her so sharply for a long time. Qiuxiang was a little startled by her look, so she calmed down and pretended to be puzzled.

"No, I just didn't expect that Hua An's literary talent is really good." Mrs. Hua said.

Why did you mention Tang Yin all of a sudden?Qiuxiang frowned, and tightened her palms.

However, I also knew that this was probably Madam Hua's temptation, suppressing her heartbeat, Qiu Xiang looked suspicious, but said with a smile: "Madam, why did you say that?"

"Yesterday the grand master considered the homework of the second master, and I heard that he has improved a lot."

Qiu Xiang smiled and said, "Then congratulations to Madam."

Mrs. Hua shook her hand: "Congratulations, it's too early."

"?" Qiuxiang's heart twitched, as if she had an idea, but she didn't show it on her face.

Mrs. Hua sighed, "It's a pity that he answered a few words with the grand master and revealed the truth. After asking, he found out that the article was written by Hua Andai."

"..." Sure enough, just as Qiuxiang guessed before, Qiuxiang smiled a little embarrassingly at this moment.

After Mrs. Hua put on her clothes, she sat in front of the mirror and waited for her to comb her hair. The golden mirror reflected Mrs. Hua's face.There was no abnormality in Mrs. Hua's face, only her pair of dark eyes firmly locked on the reflection of Qiu Xiang in the mirror.

Qiu Xiang didn't dare to say more, but Mrs. Hua said: "I was already skeptical about Hua An's selling himself in Washington, but now I am even more puzzled."

"Qiuxiang is also clueless." Qiuxiang thought about what Mrs. Hua told her to watch Tang Yin before, and she broke out in a cold sweat behind her. She lowered her head and did not look in the mirror at this time, for fear of meeting Mrs. Hua's eyes.

And Mrs. Hua raised her eyebrows at this moment: "Oh?"

She picked an ending, and the low tone made people's hair stand on end.I just heard her say: "I thought Qiuxiang should know."

Immediately afterwards, the system prompt "Mrs. Hua's favorability for you -10" that I haven't heard for a long time.

Qiuxiang's expression froze, her face turned pale, she didn't know what Mrs. Hua guessed, she would be in trouble if Tang Yin's identity was confirmed, she was the only one in Washington who knew what Tang Yin looked like, did she know? Reporting is probably a kind of betrayal in Madam Hua's eyes.

But the favorability didn't drop much, and Qiuxiang could only be lucky.

She said: "What do you think Ma'am said?"

Qiuxiang asked a little cautiously, but Mrs. Hua glanced at her from the corner of her eye. Obviously Qiuxiang was standing and Mrs. Hua was sitting, but she felt that she was a head shorter than Mrs. Hua for no reason.Madam Hua Youyou raised her hand to open the drawer of her dressing table, and she threw a folded piece of paper on the table.

Mrs. Hua said, "Is Qiuxiang literate?"

"Yes." She could not read or write, so how could Mrs. Hua not know, Qiuxiang replied honestly.

And he probably already guessed what the paper on the dressing table was.

Mrs. Hua tapped the paper and said softly: "Then read it."

Qiu Xiang pursed her lips, her expression became stiff, and she could only nod at the moment.

She slowly picked up the paper on the dressing table, spread it out diagonally, and her black self came into view all at once.Qiuxiang had never seen Tang Yin's handwriting before, and this was the first time she saw Tang Yin's handwriting, probably because she was afraid that Mrs. Hua would recognize it, but his stylus was much neater than expected.

Subconsciously glanced at those words, Qiuxiang's heart jumped into her throat, she licked her dry lips, suppressed her nervousness, opened her mouth and said, "I, Tang Dahu, today..."

"wrong."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hua interrupted her after only a few words.Mrs. Hua turned around and looked up at Qiuxiang, her scorching eyes suddenly looked at her face.

Mrs. Hua said in a deep voice, "You read it sideways."

After hearing this, Qiuxiang felt her heartbeat stop suddenly.

The author has something to say: Chinese New Year is really an excuse to be lazy... I thought about taking a break, so I stopped being lazy. ==

There are only more than 1 new manuscripts, ah, I am planning to bury myself.

Thank you for talking about the landmines of rice grains, chirp~

69Chapter.68 Gaffe

——I am Qiuxiang.

Qiu Xiang pronounced these few words very awkwardly in his mouth, and a thin piece of paper spread out in his hands seemed to be like a heavy stone.It was only in June that I developed a fever, and my back was covered with beads of sweat. The underwear stuck to my back, and I felt uncomfortable.

After Qiuxiang finished reading these words, she noticed that Mrs. Hua's eyes projected on her face became colder and colder.

Subconsciously drooping her eyes, Qiu Xiang shrank her neck and said, "Ma'am, this..."

"Qiuxiang doesn't know about this." Up to now, she can only pray that Mrs. Hua has not found evidence to prove Tang Yin's identity.

"I don't know?" Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hua's eyes were bright, her tone was up and down, and Qiuxiang's heartbeat seemed to fluctuate with her tone.At this time, Mrs. Hua raised her eyebrows and smiled suddenly: "Of course you don't know, I have never shown you Hua An's deed of sale."

Seeing her gesture, Qiuxiang was even more frightened, rather than scolding her happily. This intentional or unintentional look seemed to see through what she was thinking, as if the relationship between master and servant had become synonymous.

Qiuxiang was silent, and Mrs. Hua was still smiling, a graceful and luxurious smile.

She asked: "Could it be possible that I can still think that Qiu Xiang and Na Hua An secretly exchanged a song?"

Qiuxiang's heart skipped a beat in fright, she raised her head and said, "Ma'am, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this."

Her tone betrayed her nervousness for a moment.

Seeing the panic in her eyes, Mrs. Hua smiled even more.Without saying a word, she took Qiuxiang's hands and stroked them gently, like a kind mother.

She said to Qiuxiang in a soft voice: "What are you doing nervously? You have been with me since you were a child. How could I not know who you are? What should be done and what should not be done. I don't need to say that you have already understood, how could I know?" Suspicion of you made you separate from me."

"Madam Mingjian." Qiuxiang's eyelids twitched violently after hearing her words.Of Mrs. Hua's words, [-]% were false and [-]% were true, how could she fail to hear the warning in the words.

There are times when gentleness is more like poison, like now.

Qiuxiang heard Mrs. Hua say again: "But Qiuxiang will be eighteen this year, and it's time for someone to marry her in a few days..."

Her words changed suddenly, I don't know if her exclamation at this time was intentional.

"Ma'am!" Qiuxiang followed her words and said anxiously, "Qiuxiang only wishes to serve Madam all the time."

"Heh..." Mrs. Hua covered her mouth and smiled, and raised her head: "I don't know if it's to make me happy."

"Qiuxiang never lies." Qiuxiang frowned.

As a result, Madam Hua's dimly shining black eyes lit up a little, and the smile on her face couldn't be concealed.At this moment, if Qiuxiang doesn't understand Mrs. Hua's plans, it means that she has been with her for more than ten years in vain.Mrs. Hua's plan is obvious.

——She was going to use Qiuxiang's marriage to kill two big fish.

One is called Qiuxiang's loyalty, and the other is called Hua'an. Maybe Madam Hua prefers to call it Tang Yin.

Mrs. Hua's words became a lot more kind: "I watched you grow up since I was a child, and of course I hope you marry a good family. Although I don't want to see a servant in Washington's private exchange, but this Hua An has a good literary talent, maybe You can get close."

"Ma'am!" Qiuxiang stared.

The mind of being the master is really going back and forth, afraid that she will secretly tell that the song is Mrs. Hua, and that the one who is close to her is also Mrs. Hua.It was clearly a slap to a sweet date, which could not free her from the control of her master, but also gave her an inexplicable hint and hope.

"Don't be annoyed." Mrs. Hua smiled: "Forget it, the girl's skin is a bit thin, please help me to have dinner in the living room."

Mrs. Hua smiled with satisfaction after she finished speaking, and stopped paying attention to Qiuxiang's reaction, got up and asked her to help her to the front hall for dinner.

During this period, Mrs. Hua always had a smile on her face, and she seemed to be in a really good mood.This inevitably made Qiuxiang hate Tang Yin to the bottom of her heart. If he hadn't written what was there and what was not in the deed of sale, how could this incident have happened.

Anyway, Mrs. Hua now definitely thinks that the two of them are having an affair.

Qiuxiang was still thinking about it, and the two of them walked through the screen and came to the hall.

The rest of the people had already sat down, and even Huawen, who hadn't seen him for a few days, hung his hands around the table. When Qiuxiang saw him, she unconsciously dodged a little behind Mrs. Hua.

But this time Hua Wenlian didn't even look at her, instead he was smiling so hard that he narrowed his small eyes into slits.

He looked at the woman sitting across from him and said, "I never thought I would have such a beautiful distant cousin."

Hua Wu's thoughts were all on the meat buns on the table, he swallowed his saliva and was bumped by Hua Wen's elbow, and then echoed: "Oh, I didn't think of that either."

Hearing what his younger brother said, Huawen scolded 'it's useless' and said with a sneer: "If I knew this, I should have asked my cousin to come to the house for a few days earlier."

The woman doesn't talk too much, so she can only return a perfunctory smile.

Seeing such a scene, Mrs. Hua's face with a smile darkened a little. She wanted to reprimand Hua Wen, but someone opened her mouth first.The male host at the head of the table, who was away all year round, made a serious face, and the smile had already froze on his face.

He said: "Chinese! Eat without talking, sleep without speaking!"

Taishi Hua is kind and kind, rarely has a serious expression in his impression, and it is also rare to see Chinese, so he couldn't help but touched his nose and said: "Yes, dad."

Seeing this, Grand Master Hua nodded, turned his head to Mrs. Hua, eased his expression, and waved: "Since Mrs. Hua is here, let's have dinner."

After hearing this, Hua Wu was the first to raise his chopsticks, making Grand Master Hua smile.

Qiu Xiangping retreated to the side, and stood at the same position as San Xiang, who had already been standing quietly.

Xi Zhongqiuxiang saw that Mrs. Hua looked at the woman in Suyi calmly, and then said warmly to her: "Suzhen, are you still used to eating and drinking when you come to Wuxi for the first time?"

It turns out that the woman's name is Suzhen, and I don't know her surname, Qiuxiang thought to herself.She looked at the other party from her own eyes, she had already changed into a light blue dress today, with a green ribbon around her waist, only the white jade hairpin on her head remained unchanged.

She smiled faintly at Mrs. Hua: "Thank you cousin for your concern, I'm still used to it."

This conversation sounded very natural. If Qiuxiang didn't know the insider and thought it was a harmonious and friendly aunt and nephew, who would have thought of the hypocrisy of the two?Qiuxiang looked into the eyes of the two, and finally found a touch of alienation in the light buried deep in the eyes.

At the same time, Dongxiang pulled her sleeves and whispered to Qiuxiang: "The cousin girl is really gentle, she must not be like a madam."

"Hush!" Xia Xiang bumped into Dong Xiang: "Do you want to be scolded by your wife?"

Dongxiang had no choice but to smack her lips and stick out her tongue.

At this time, the sound of footsteps came from behind the screen.Dongxiang rolled her eyes and said to Mrs. Hua, "Ma'am, Sister Pomegranate has made porridge and brought it here."

"Yes." Mrs. Hua nodded, "Go ahead."

Mrs. Hua ordered the table casually, and Pomegranate walked over with the casserole, put the casserole in the center, and Pomegranate said in a clear voice: "This is lotus leaf and lotus seed porridge. The lotus in the mansion bloomed this morning, so I let it The little maid brought up lotus seeds, they should taste fresh."

Hearing this, Hua Taishi was surprised: "Is it the lotus pond in the side courtyard? Has it bloomed?"

"It was only opened this morning." Pomegranate replied.

Mrs. Hua said cheerfully: "The Grand Master just came back yesterday, and the flower buds are blooming today, which is really a good omen."

"Not bad!" Hua Wen also said, "I'll take my cousin to have a look after dinner."

Mrs. Hua frowned: "You don't need to go, you give me a good life and lie down in the house!"

Hua Wen didn't give up: "I'm almost moldy in bed."

Mrs. Hua glared at Huawen, so Huawen didn't dare to say anything more, and poked the bun a few times with her chopsticks.The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.

Seeing this, the person in the discussion center pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "You don't need big cousin to accompany you, just let Clover accompany me. Cousin should be careful."

The big cousin Huawen listened comfortably to this soft voice, and burst into laughter for a while.

But at the same time, there was an unsightly voice.

"Ping-pong—"

——The sound of porcelain falling to the ground.

The spoon that the pomegranate used to scoop the porridge for Mrs. Hua fell to the ground beside Mrs. Hua. The white handle of the spoon split into two petals, and some fine fragments bounced high on the ground, and then splashed in front of Chunxiang. Chunxiang was frightened immediately. He jumped and covered his face, for fear of being disfigured.

The curved part of the spoon swayed jerkily back and forth on the ground, and did not come to rest until a long time later.

Only the lingering sound of shattered porcelain ringing in my ears.

Qiuxiang and Mrs. Hua frowned and looked at Pomegranate. It is said that Pomegranate has always done things safely, so how could she drop the spoon for no reason.

Puzzled, Qiuxiang could only see that when Shiliu looked at the woman named Suzhen, her expression froze, and an extremely shocked light flickered in her eyes, and there was a hint of surprise in it?

The light was fleeting, and she quickly lowered her head.

"Pomegranate?" Mrs. Hua's tone sounded a little off.

Pomegranate froze: "Madam, forgive me!"

Fortunately, the spoon just fell on the ground and spread out, and no one was hurt.And the woman named Suzhen also looked at Shiliu in confusion.

Hearing Mrs. Hua's bad tone, Dongxiang was the first person to rush forward to speak well for Shiliu: "Ma'am, sister Shiliu must not have done it on purpose."

Qiuxiang thought for a while and took a step forward: "Ma'am, it seems that Shiliu was too busy yesterday to slow down, and she is not in good spirits today."

Chunxiang rubbed her face, stood aside and glared at Shiliu angrily, but she didn't add insult to injury.

Mrs. Hua glanced at Sanxiang, and wanted to say something, but Taishi Hua waved her hand: "Forget it, let the pomegranate go to rest earlier. Oh, yes, wait for the little maid to send two jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine." Come……"

"Grand Master!" Madam shouted, with a rare expression on her eyes.

The grand master smiled sheepishly: "Madam, drink porridge."

Dongxiang took advantage of this moment to run in with the pomegranate, and Qiuxiang saw her looking back at Suzhen when she was about to leave—that thoughtful expression.

70Chapter.69 Inquiry

In the afternoon, when Qiuxiang passed by the gate of the side courtyard, she happened to see a person, she was wearing blue silk clothes, with a bun on her head which is very popular nowadays, and a green ribbon was tied around her bare waist.

Still no make-up was applied, but Qiuxiang could tell that she was well-dressed.

If she put Chunxiang or Xiaxiang on her attire, Qiuxiang would not find it strange at all, but the person wearing the blue silk clothes was Pomegranate, who usually doesn't like fancy clothes.

This is indeed strange.

I saw her clasping her hands, pacing back and forth outside the archway made of white walls and black tiles, but she couldn't get in.

Qiuxiang wondered, she stopped at the same place and pondered for a moment, then she poked her neck and looked into the small window carved with complicated patterns, and finally realized suddenly.

The lotus in the side courtyard is in full bloom, and the large pieces of green are full of water drops. Because of the refraction of the sun, the lotus leaves are green and green, and the buds on several green stalks are blooming, and the delicate pink is clustered together.In the center of the pond, a pair of lotuses bloomed, and the flowers looked away from each other, like angry sisters, except that the rhizomes below were intertwined and implicated.

Alfalfa in the yard was pointing at the Bettilian and beckoning to the woman behind her.A smile appeared on the woman's face when she saw it, so Clover respectfully retreated behind the woman.

really.

Qiuxiang guessed eight points. She saw the strangeness of the pomegranate from the morning incident, and she didn't know what the details of this cousin girl named Suzhen actually asked Mrs. Hua to cover up her identity. Pomegranates are getting weird.

Qiu Xiang pursed her lips, and secretly added another stroke in her heart.After a little hesitation, she adjusted her pace and walked towards Pomegranate.

Normally, Pomegranate would have already noticed her arrival, but now she was obviously restless and fell into an unprecedented hesitation.

So when Qiuxiang approached, she didn't notice anything, and she paced back and forth frowning.

Seeing this, Qiuxiang could only cough lightly and call out to her, "Pomegranate?"

There was a distance of three or four steps between the two, even Pomegranate, who was in a daze, could hear her shout clearly, and people were already extremely sensitive to their own names, so Qiuxiang was not afraid that she would not hear clearly.

But what Qiuxiang didn't expect was that Shiliu was startled by her. Her body froze suddenly because of the call, her shoulders shrugged involuntarily, and then she turned her head back when she realized it.

Qiuxiang was also confused by her actions, so she could only look at her face fixedly.

Looking at it, she noticed the unattractive expression on Shiliu's face.

I don't know if she was frightened, but her face seemed to be faintly pale at this time, and the light in her black eyes was shining, like a guilty conscience when a secret was broken.

This was the first time that Qiuxiang saw such an obvious expression on her face.

Qiuxiang didn't want to show any strangeness on her face, so she changed the topic with a smile: "Pomegranate, are you going to appreciate the lotus?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Shi Liu's face turned from white to black.But she seemed to have calmed down, she frowned and said to Qiuxiang, "No, just passing by."

Qiuxiang hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously: "But I saw you standing here for a long time."

"..." Shiliu's brows became tighter, and she said, "Then what are you doing?"

A sharp light suddenly shot out from her pupils, as if she saw a secret person who could not escape being murdered. Qiu Xiang was frightened by this light, and almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face.

The wind passed silently.

"It really has nothing to do with me." Putting her smile away, Qiu Xiang went straight to the point, "I'm just curious, why the wife's cousin and niece can make pomegranate so uncharacteristically, it's rare to see."

Qiuxiang looked around at Shiliu's attire, and said again: "If I remember correctly, the clothes on your body were given to you by your wife before. I didn't see you willing to wear them last year. Why now..."

Qiuxiang stopped talking, the two of them knew what was going to happen next.

Seeing that Shiliu's eyes trembled, but her expression didn't show, she narrowed her eyes slightly and sneered coldly: "Qiuxiang has a good memory, even I myself forgot about it, but I just let it go."

Qiu Xiang smiled lightly: "That's all?"

Shi Liu raised her eyebrows: "Why should I lie?"

"That's good." Qiuxiang saw that her tone was tight, so she bit her lips and changed the subject: "Then let's not talk about that, let's talk about the morning."

Shiliu glanced at her and said, "It's just that I was tired yesterday, so I couldn't hold the spoon steadily."

"That's just my excuse for you!" Qiu Xiang frowned.

"That's the truth, how do you want me to answer?" Shiliu replied lightly, and said with a blank face, "Is there anything else you want to ask? Let's ask together."

It seems that when Qiuxiang saw Shiliu's thoughtful face when she left in the morning, she subconsciously felt that Shiliu recognized Suzhen.That's why I ignored Pomegranate's disgust and became aggressive.

Unfortunately to no avail.

The pomegranate was completely soft and hard, and her mouth was tight. Qiuxiang couldn't escape a word for a long time, so she could only worry in her heart.And at this moment, she had completely calmed down, her expression could not reveal what she was thinking.

Qiuxiang had no choice, but she still didn't give up, even if she got some news from Shiliu's mouth.

For a moment, both of them fell into silence, only their eyes were glued in the air, and neither of them flinched, while Pomegranate was still like an iron wall, impregnable.

In the end, Qiuxiang had no choice but to compromise, and asked in a broken jar, "Actually, I just want to ask a question."

"What?" Pomegranate asked.

"The identity of the cousin girl." Qiuxiang took a step closer, her voice lowered a bit, but it was enough for Shiliu to hear.

At the same time, she was staring closely at Shiliu's expression, the moment she finished speaking, she seemed to see a trace of bewilderment on Shiliu's face.Then I heard Pomegranate say: "Madam's niece."

"..." The answer is irrelevant, this identity is just a lie told by the madam.Qiuxiang frowned and said annoyedly: "No, I'm asking about other things. What's her last name? Where does she live? Why did she come to Washington?"

Shiliu also frowned, her expression changed, showing a thoughtful look, and she fell silent for a moment.She lowered her eyes and looked into the side courtyard, her eyes were actually puzzled.

This made Qiuxiang also feel strange.

After waiting for a long time, she said, "How do I know?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Qiuxiang to speak, she said, "I owe you a thank you for what happened in the morning, and I will ask the servant girl to bring you some lotus seed soup as a thank you later."

Need not……

Qiuxiang wanted to say this, but Shiliu didn't give her a chance. Before she could say anything, Shiliu turned her head and left without saying goodbye. She subconsciously glanced at the pool in the side yard. I don't know when the figure left, but it probably left through another arch.

Qiuxiang sighed, staring at Pomegranate's back for a moment.

I thought that Shiliu would know something, but she didn't look like that when I saw her expression just now, and her expression later on seemed to be awakened by Qiuxiang, so what's going on.

Now even the only clue is gone, Suzhen's identity is still a mystery.

In fact, as a servant girl, it has nothing to do with her status, but she just feels that this matter is strange. Obviously, the grand master has retired from his official position and returned to his hometown, so why did he bring another girl back?And sneak in through the back door, which is absolutely not to be seen.

What's even more strange is that if you hide it, you can hide it, and why you say it is the wife's niece, and you have to send someone to take care of it.

This morning, I saw my wife's complexion was not good, but I never saw her get angry with Suzhen, and she also pretended to ask Suzhen how she was.

It would be strange if Qiuxiang wasn't puzzled about this.

It's a pity that no matter how curious she is, no one will tell her who Suzhen who popped up out of nowhere is.

After thinking about it, Qiuxiang turned into the side courtyard, took a look at the drooling lotus and branches and leaves, and was still in a bad mood. At this time, Mrs. Hua was probably taking a nap, and most of the maids also hid in the room to be lazy. The whole Washington was very quiet. .

In the quiet afternoon, this word is perfectly suitable to describe the present.

Avoiding the sun, Qiuxiang sat down by the stone table and chairs under the tree, and the mottled shade on the stone table was sporadic.Qiuxiang took out a veil and covered the corner where there was no sunlight, then folded her hands on it, and finally leaned her head with her ears on one side.

She closed her eyes, letting herself calm down slowly, listening to the wind, she gradually fell asleep.

Until the slight sound of footsteps came from the ear, the other party seemed to be walking slowly and lightly, which made Qiu Xiang, who was in a haze, suddenly startled, and she was no longer sleepy.

Raising her head suddenly, Qiuxiang was blinded by the sun for a while, but the voice of the visitor came to her ears clearly.

He said, "Did I wake you up?"

The voice was familiar, even without looking at his face, Qiu Xiang knew who it was.After rubbing her eyes, Qiuxiang said in a muffled voice, "I didn't fall asleep in the first place."

"What about you?" Qiuxiang asked, "Why didn't you follow Second Master?"

He didn't answer right away, but approached slowly, there seemed to be some sunshine on his body, and there was a hot wind blowing on his face, which was mixed with a faint smell of alcohol.

Qiuxiang frowned for a moment, raised her head and asked in surprise, "Did you go to steal pomegranate wine again?"

When he asked this question, he stopped in his tracks, and then laughed dumbfoundedly: "So I am a drunken thief in your heart."

"..." Qiuxiang didn't know how to speak, she pursed her lips and raised her head.

Under the sun, he was dressed in a lake-green schoolboy outfit. Although the color of the clothes matched his fair skin, the raised eyebrows and the gesture of touching his chin were incompatible with the clothes, which seemed a bit funny.

Under the shade of a tree, there is a small bluestone bench.

Qiuxiang raised the corners of her mouth involuntarily.

The new article has opened, and the wind is happy.

Great! I am very happy!

71Chapter.70 Answers

The person who came was Tang Yin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He seemed to have noticed the change in Qiuxiang's expression for a while, and the raised eyebrow changed into a helpless smile.

After walking a few more steps, he sat down on the small bluestone stool opposite the table.He clasped his hands, resting his elbows on the stone table with the back of his hands to support his chin, so that bright eyes faintly projected over.

Tang Yin said: "This is the wine that Hua Wu brought from Hua Wen, it was not stolen from the kitchen."

The word "take" in his words was clearly pronounced, as if he was afraid that Qiuxiang would not hear it.

When Qiu Xiang heard what he said, she remembered what Hua Wu had said a few days ago. She didn't expect that Hua Wu would actually search Hua Wen's wine collection while Hua Wen was lying in bed, and Tang Yin might have played a big role in it.

Qiuxiang glanced at Tang Yin: "This statement is yet to be verified."

Tang Yin naturally understood what she was thinking, but he didn't want to continue this topic. He let go of his clasped hands, changed to one hand resting his chin, and then asked leisurely: "What's bothering Qiuxiang?"

Qiuxiang raised her eyebrows and looked him up and down, her tone was a little blunt: "You know?"

"Naturally." Tang Yin nodded, sighed, "You can tell from your eyes and tone of voice."

Qiu Xiang frowned, and teased, "Then your eyes and ears are really sharp."

"No." Tang Yin used his other free hand to swing back and forth in the air twice before staring at Qiuxiang: "It's just that I pay close attention to Miss Qiuxiang."

"..." Qiuxiang was choked by his words, she couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw his smiling expression, and after a while she said: "Yes, what you said is absolutely right, I am really bothered."

Qiuxiang met his eyes and looked up: "This morning, Madam took your deed of sale and asked me to read it, which made me almost be given the title of a private friend."

"Oh?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows with a flash of light, pretending to be stupid and said: "Then have you read it?"

"What do you think?" Qiuxiang asked, frowning.

"Did you see it clearly?" Tang Yin asked again, with a deep smile in his eyes.Qiuxiang's face was reflected in it, and the swaying tree shadow behind him made his eyes flicker.

"What do you want to say?" Qiuxiang felt a little uncomfortable under his burning gaze.

When asked like this, he turned his eyes away: "No."

He shook his head, looked at a pool of lotus beside him, the smile on his lips was still there, and his whole body seemed to be filled with a cheerful smell, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he was always focused on Qiuxiang, like six The wind in the month carries a hint of warmth, and occasionally burns people.

This moment of silence made Qiuxiang no longer pay attention to Tang Yin's actions. She put away the handkerchief spread on the stone table, carefully folded it and put it in the long sleeves. When she finished this action and raised her head, Tang Yin had already turned around Come on.

His eyes focused on her long sleeves, but he asked, "Madam Hua made things difficult for you?"

Qiu Xiang lightly swept across his face, put her hands under the table, and blocked Tang Yin's gaze here with the stone table.When she remembered Mrs. Hua's words in the morning, she lowered her eyes and replied, "It's fine if it's really embarrassing. Her attitude is a headache."

Qiu Xiang touched her forehead as she spoke, but Tang Yin didn't say a word when he saw this, he probably guessed what Mrs. Hua was planning, and his smile deepened.

The two were talking, and the distance was not too far, so how could Qiuxiang not see his expression.Seeing this, she felt very displeased and annoyed inwardly, immediately put on a straight face and slightly raised her chin: "You can still laugh now? Did you expect this situation at the beginning?"

Qiu Xiang frowned, cast her eyes straight on Tang Yin's face, and her words became sharper.

Tang Yin quickly shook his head and said, "How come?"

Qiuxiang pursed her lips and looked him over carefully, but in the end she didn't find any clues on his face. It seemed that he really didn't plan on herself this time.

Looking back, Qiuxiang finally finished with a slight eyebrow raising movement, swallowing Lengheng back to her stomach.

Tang Yin relaxed his expression for a while, and finally he was silent for a while before he considered: "Actually, the thing that bothers you the most is probably not the matter of the contract."

"How do you say that?" Qiuxiang asked.

Tang Yin sighed while laughing: "I don't know who was staring at Mrs. Hua's cousin and niece's pensive expression just now."

when?Qiuxiang didn't react, and showed a slightly bewildered expression.

Tang Yin reminded at the right time: "I went to find Hua Wu after dinner in the morning, and I happened to see you staring at her leaving back in a daze."

Qiuxiang recalled it carefully, and there was indeed such a thing, but she didn't notice it.
