The wealthy man who wears books

Seeing the girls happily carrying hot crabs down, Qin Huai couldn't help showing a wry smile.

I'm afraid only God will know what kind of taste this fat and beautiful hairy crab tastes like.

At this time, he thought of the past few days, Lao Qi and himself were lying on the bed at night, he exhorted and instructed in a calm and low voice, but earnestly, the anxiety and tension in his heart suddenly eased a little.

Before Xiang'er went to the small kitchen, he hurriedly asked Ju Sheng to come over.

As soon as Ju Sheng entered the door, he moved his nose, and seeing no one around, he laughed softly and said:

"Today is a good day. The crab that my wife rewarded probably has an aroma that has filled the entire Zhong family. Just now, Xiang'er specially asked someone to bring me a plate, but because of Brother Seven's words first, I'd rather Didn't dare to touch it."

Qin Huai looked at him who was getting smarter and nodded appreciatively, and said in a low voice:

"I just thought about it for a while, and I always feel that this crab feast today is very strange, and I'm afraid there is some other mystery behind it. In this way, you are now trying to sneak out while others are not prepared, and you will be in Bochun Garden Find a way to intercept Qiye outside, and tell him about this, in case there are other things that the two of us may not think of. Whether it's crabs or broth here, I will be careful."

Seeing that he spoke solemnly, Ju Sheng thought that Brother Seven had told him many times recently that something big might happen at home recently, so he nodded vigorously, told his sister-in-law to be more careful, and hurried out by himself.

He usually had some special affairs entrusted to him by Zhong Xin. At this situation, he hurried back to the room first, took a rather novel thing, hid it in a cloth bag, carried it on his back, and sneaked out of Pochun. The corner gate of the garden.

He had just left from Qinhuai, and Xiang'er had already brought a suitcase with a smile. In addition to a large bowl of soup that invigorates the spleen and relieves diarrhea, there are also two dishes of seasonal chicken head rice and fresh water chestnut. Really very careful.

Qin Huai sneered in his heart, but praised her a few words in his mouth, seeing her put the soup in a small soup bowl, put a snow-white porcelain spoon beside the bowl, picked it up lightly, and smiled to himself:

"Grandma Seven hastened to drink this soup while it's hot. It's hot and cold, and it's best for warming the belly and stomach, relieving diarrhea and relieving pain."

At this time, Qin Huai had already sat next to the Jingdezhen big white porcelain goldfish bowl, which was half a person tall, and while looking at the bright red goldfish in the bowl, he took the soup bowl from Xiang'er's hand, held it up to his nose and sniffed it. laughed:

"You said that there are hawthorns in it, but it whetted my appetite. I used to love the sour fragrance of hawthorns the most."

Xiang'er saw that he was blowing gently into the soup bowl, as if he was about to drink the soup, she was nervous, holding the hem of the silk trousers with both hands, she broke out in sweat.

Qin Huai blew a few breaths of hot air on the soup, then raised it to his lips, and suddenly stretched out his finger to touch Xiang'er's back, saying:

"Is it Qiye? Why don't you come into the room at the door."

When Xiang'er heard the word "Qi Ye", she subconsciously shuddered for a moment, turned her head, and saw a faint figure at the door, but it seemed to be just a girl's figure.

She turned around and saw Grandma Seven drinking the soup with her head up. When she lowered her head, the small bowl of soup had already been emptied.

"I was wrong, she was a girl, but I didn't praise you for being careful. This soup looked hot, but it turned out to be lukewarm after drinking it. The sweet and sour taste was just right, so I drank it in one gulp."

Xiang'er was overjoyed, and quickly took the soup bowl and said: "Since grandma likes it so much, I'll give you another bowl, drink it while it's warm, so as not to suffer from the diarrhea."

Qin Huai hummed, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and only glanced at the big porcelain vat beside him.

The few goldfish in there are much happier now, chasing food at the bottom of the tank, against the duckweed and aquatic plants on the water surface, it is a beautiful picture of red brocade opera lotus.

When Xiang'er handed over the soup bowl again, she was obviously not as nervous as before.Qin Huai deliberately stirred the water with a porcelain spoon, and smiled at her:

"You've been busy for a while, so let's go eat some crabs with them. After all, it's my wife's wish, so don't waste it."

Xiang'er stopped urging him to drink soup at this time, nodded and bowed to go.

She went out of the room and asked all the little girls to go to the servant's place at the back to eat the crabs that grandma gave her, but she stayed behind, seeing no one around, and quietly looked into the room from the window.

I saw Grandma Seven should have drunk the second bowl of soup at this time, there was only an empty bowl left on the small table beside her, but she leaned over the fish tank and played with the goldfish.

She was anxious in her heart, secretly calculating the time, for fear of missing the important task assigned by her wife.

As for Qin Huai in the room, although he only turned his back to the window, he felt as if he knew she would be peeking out the window, with a faint sneer on his lips.

Seeing the happily swimming goldfish in the porcelain vat slowly becoming sluggish, and two of them thumped a few times and turned up their bellies, Qin Huai knew in his heart that he should also enter the role at this time.

Xiang'er stood on tiptoe, seeing Grandma Seven straighten up suddenly, she probably felt dizzy or something, she reached out her hand to support her forehead, barely stood up, staggered towards the bedroom, and before she got close to the bed, she turned her head He fell to the ground, facing the direction of the bed, motionless.

She was nervous and happy at the same time, and quickly ran to the corridor. In a corner over there, there was a cage of quail, which was said to be fattened and fried in winter when it snowed. No one was around at the moment. , she opened the cage and yelled loudly, the birds were frightened immediately and flew around in a black mass, even people outside Bochun Garden could see this bird like a black cloud Groups and tweets.

After finishing all this, she hurried towards the servants' quarters in the backyard, and when she arrived at the place where the maids and women ate and drank, those people were already staggered and passed out.

Xiang'er secretly rejoiced that everything was as she wished, so she also found a place and pretended to be unconscious and lay down on the ground.

And in this scene, a figure who has been hiding outside Bochun Garden, when he saw a quail suddenly rising in the twilight, his eyes flashed, his figure moved, and he quietly slipped into the courtyard through the corner door.

When we came to Dongkua courtyard, there was no one in sight, only those quails that could only fly for a short time landed in the courtyard, jumping and screaming.

The figure looked in through the window, and saw Seventh Young Mistress lying on the ground in front of the bed, motionless, as if she had died of breath.

But he knew that the medicine wasn't fatal, it just made him fall into a deep coma within a few hours, but it would never affect his actions.

It's just that he has always been scheming and scheming, even in this situation, he sneaked into the room and came to Qin Huai.

The face of the Seventh Young Mistress in front of her was flushed, and there was a long amount of transparent mucus flowing from the corner of her mouth, she looked completely drugged.

The man leaned down and squeezed his body with a ruthless hand. Qin Huai who was on the ground was completely unconscious and didn't react at all.

The man straightened up in satisfaction, dragged Qin Huai's feet, and dragged him to the inside of the bed, so that he could not be seen at all from the angle of the door outside the window.

After finishing all this, the man took a deep breath, walked slowly to the door, and peeked out along the crack of the door. At this time, the fire cloud outside the window was as thick as a flame. The man thought to himself, after a while, this The flames rising in Bo Chunyuan probably will be like this too.

Zhong Xin was anxious, the wind was blowing under his feet, and he was sweating profusely and ran from the backyard door to Bochunyuan.

At this time, the scattered quail had already fallen, and the whole yard was illuminated by the clouds, as if bathed in fire.

Zhong Xin was inexplicably nervous and fascinated, and jumped up and down. Seeing that he was approaching the corner gate, a familiar voice suddenly came from the woods on one side.

"Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother!"

He hastily stopped his figure, only to see Jusheng hiding in the bushes, and hurriedly rushed over.

Ju Sheng's hiding place is near the east corner gate where Zhong Xinsu often returns to the courtyard. It is not in the same direction as the figure who just entered the courtyard, so he did not see the figure sneaking into Bochun Garden from the west.

At this moment, Ju Sheng explained the reason why Qin Huai asked him to come out to Zhong Xin. He only said that his sister-in-law felt that something was wrong with the eldest wife today. He was afraid of mistakes.

Zhong Xin looked at the Huoshaoyun in the sky, and heard that the eldest wife actually rewarded the big guy with crabs. He somehow thought of something in the past, and his eyes narrowed suddenly, flashing a flame of hatred and anger.

He knew He Yiru's ruthlessness in his heart, and was extremely worried about Qin Huai's safety at this moment, so he told Ju Sheng that when he returned to the room, he would lurk in a hidden place and see who would appear in the yard, and he must Use that to leave evidence.

Ju Sheng nodded vigorously, and said to Zhong nervously:

"Don't worry, Seventh Brother, I've already carried that thing on my back, but you and sister-in-law must also be careful!"

Zhong Xin nodded, turned around and ran towards the corner gate.

When we arrived at the Dongkua courtyard, the courtyard was not like the usual time after a meal, it was indescribably deserted and quiet, only the flowers of four seasons brocade still bloomed proudly on the branches.

He looked at the quail scattered in the yard, feeling more and more strange in his heart, hurriedly walked to the door of the bedroom, and looked into the room cautiously.

Strangely, there was no one in the room, and even the figure of my sister-in-law could not be seen.

According to what Ju Sheng just said, when he came out, his sister-in-law should still be in the room, and no outsider came, so Zhong Xin was anxious, so he pushed the door open and walked straight into the room.

At this moment, the figure hidden behind the door suddenly raised a wooden stick, and with a faint wind, it hit Zhong Xin firmly on the back of the head. He staggered two steps forward and fell to the ground. Reluctantly turned his head with the last trace of sobriety.

"Zhong... Jiu... Sure enough, it's you... my sister-in-law... who else?"

A sneer appeared on Zhong Jiu's gloomy face, and he said in a low voice:

"It's really unexpected that even when you are dying, you can't forget a man! Zhong Laoqi, a cruel and heartless person like you is really rare!"

Zhong Xin felt dizzy for a while, but Qin Huai's figure was spinning around in front of his eyes.

In his whole life, from the day he was born until now, apart from his brotherhood with Jusheng, it can be said that only in Qin Huai can he be regarded as a man's true affection.

During this brief moment of sobriety, what kept flashing before his eyes were the handsome and extremely mysterious face of that man.Sometimes it seduces yourself, and sometimes it is as cold as ice.Sometimes he is honest and kind and sincerely helps others, and sometimes he is brave and resolute and boldly resists.

It was a man who was full of contradictions, sometimes even so weird that he was surprised, and even more so, he was attracted to him unknowingly.

But now this man, where is he, could something have happened...?I'm so guarded against everything, but I'm still missing the game.

The sound of Zhong Jiu's approaching footsteps could be heard again.

"Lao Qi, to be honest, I wanted to let the eldest lady let you go for a while, but who knows, you actually want to copy in front of me, to investigate and collect evidence about me, so, no matter what, I can't keep you any longer. Don't worry, you are lying on this side of the bed now, and the Seventh Grandma you are worried about is also lying on the other side of the bed. It is rare that you two men are so loving. Since Jiu is your elder, today I will definitely fulfill you, let the two of you sleep together in the same bed, on the road to Huangquan, just like that mandarin duck, you will die together if you die!"

As he spoke, he raised the wooden stick in his hand, and hit Zhong Xin hard on the forehead again, until he was beaten to the point that his head was bleeding, and he immediately disappeared.

Zhong Jiu threw away the wooden stick, dragged him to the bed, and dragged Qin Huai on the bed as well. After thinking about it, he probably remembered the promise he had made to Zhong Xin just now. On top of Qin Huai, lying face to face, said in his mouth:

"What a pair of affectionate mandarin ducks, I, Zhong Jiu, will make you two perfect today, and let you die as a pair even if you die!"

He knew that with the medicine Qin Huai took and the wound on Zhong Xin's body, it was absolutely impossible for the two of them to wake up in a short time.He found the kerosene he had brought in advance at the door, poured some on the two of them, and then poured more on the bed and the surrounding wooden furniture.

Until the barrel of kerosene was emptied, Zhong Jiu took out a western lighter from his pocket and walked slowly to the bedside.
