Miss Difficult to Marry

In front of the main gate of the Qin Mansion, a servant in charge of the gate stood guard in the gatehouse a little bored.He was just about to sit down when he saw a person coming out of it.

"Hey, Fourth Master Feng, are you going out again today?"

Feng Lao Si smiled and said, "No, the weather is fine today, so I'll go out for a walk."

The gatekeeper cupped his hands and said, "That's okay, you always walk slowly."

After Mr. Feng got down the stone steps, the guard went into the gatehouse to find a stick of incense and light it.

Although Feng Lao Si works under the Qin family, he came with Chen Qingyu. In terms of status, he is not considered a servant of the Qin family.Besides, there are many servants in the Qin family, one is not too many, and the other is not too many, no one will be so blind to order him around.So Feng Laosi had no serious business to do all day long, and he couldn't stay in the Qin residence, so he always had to go out once or twice a day.

There are many more people outside today.Because it is the season when the fireworks bloom in March, the days are long and the butterflies fly.This is a good time for those ladies and ladies to go out for an outing to enjoy the scenery, so there are many people coming and going on the street, and there are even more carriages.

Feng Laosi turned a corner and was about to go forward when he saw Chen Qingyu walking towards him.

"Fourth Uncle, come with me."

"What's the matter?" Seeing her serious face, Feng Laosi hurriedly followed her, "What's the matter?"

Chen Qingyun calmly said: "Fourth Uncle, Master Qin has already known about us impersonating Rongli."

"What!" Feng Laosi was shocked, "How is it possible, this is impossible!."

Chen Qingyu said in a low voice: "How is that impossible? If I hadn't been careful before, I would have been arrested by now."

Feng Laosi didn't believe it, "No, I was fine just now when I came out of the Qin Mansion, how could it be such a coincidence. Qingyu, did you make a mistake?"

"How could I be wrong, let's get out of the city as soon as it's still early, otherwise we won't be able to escape even if the city gate is closed..."

"How could this happen?" Feng Lao Si was in a dilemma, "Qing Yin, how did you know?"

Chen Qingyun said: "It's a long story, I'll talk to you in detail later."

"Then what should we do, does Young Master Qin know?"

"Him? We can't protect ourselves now, but we can manage him. Fourth Uncle, it's urgent now. Let's go out of the city first."

After she finished speaking, she turned to leave.

"Hey, hey, Qingyu," Feng Laosi anxiously pulled her back, "This, this thing happened too suddenly, you, please let me take it easy."

"Wait any longer? Let's not even think about going out." Chen Qingyun said, "Maybe Master Qin has already sent people to the yamen by now."

Feng Laosi was anxious and helpless: "Cheng Chengcheng, let's go."

The two walked a few steps, and Feng Laosi asked unwillingly: "Qingyu, let's leave like this, what about the money?".

"What time is it, you still worry about money, fourth uncle, is your life or money more important. If you still want money, you can ask Qin Tianwang for it now."

"Of course life is important, life is important."

Chen Qingyu said as he walked, "I've already prepared my horse. Let's go out of the city first, and then we'll make plans whether to go by water or mountain road..."

After following a few steps, Feng Laosi rolled his eyes, pretended to hold his stomach and shouted: "Wait, wait, Qingyu, I, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Chen Qingyun turned around.

"You, wait for me, I'll come right away."

"Really, then hurry up, I will wait for you at the intersection ahead." Chen Qingyu said.

"I know, I know, I'll come right away."

After Feng Laosi finished speaking, he ran back in a hurry.

Chen Qingyu stood where he was, watching him run away, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's not far from Qin's house here, and it will be closer if you go through the alley.Feng Laosi ran all the way back along an alley until the end, and he stopped at a corner out of breath.Not far ahead is the Qin residence. From here, you can just see the gate of the Qin family.

He leaned his head against the wall and poked his head out slowly.

Every day at the hour of Chen, the door of the Qin family will open on time, because usually there are many guests coming in and out of the Qin's house, and there are also many shopkeepers and managers from the shops outside, so starting from the hour of Chen in the morning, the gate of the Qin family will usually not open until after the time of You or even Xu. close.

Feng Lao Si poked his head out and looked again and again, his eyes widened in disbelief, because the door of the Qin family, which had been open not long ago, was actually closed tightly!

He kept looking at it for a long time before retracting his head resignedly.

It seemed that something had happened.

Feng Laosi suddenly became depressed. He didn't expect that he had worked so hard to come here. After waiting for so long, the duck was about to reach its mouth, and now it flew like this. 5000 taels of snowflake silver, 5000 taels!That's it for nothing.As soon as the door of the Qin family was closed, his hope for the rest of his life was closed.nothing left.The bamboo basket fetches water, and the game is empty.

Chen Qingyu stood at that intersection, waiting for almost a stick of incense to pass.She finally saw Feng Lao Si running all the way over.

"Qingyu, let's go." Although Feng Laosi was panting, his expression was as usual.

"Okay, then I'll go lead the horse." Chen Qingyu's expression remained the same. "Let's go now."

In the East Garden of the Qin Mansion, the spring light is light and the flowers are blooming everywhere, and the garden is full of colorful flowers at a glance.The weather has been getting better every day since the flood.

Qin Yuzhen got up early today. She was slouching on a low couch with a red brocade on her shoulders, holding a bamboo bow stretched with a piece of satin in her left hand, and embroidering on it with her needle and thread in her right hand. There is an unidentifiable flower.

Next to her, Hui'er was holding a needlework basket full of shredded silk and satin.

"Miss, let me see, where are all the embroidery?"

Qin Yuzhen picked it up and looked at it. It was a single-sided cross-stitching picture with a crooked daffodil on it.

Although it doesn't look very good, Miss Qin feels pretty good about herself, "Well, look at the stitches are pretty even."

Hui'er looked away with some disappointment, and thought to herself: Miss is really not the kind of master who can paint Luan and embroider Phoenix.

In fact, Miss Qin has never been very good at needlework, although nowadays women are highly praised for their ingenuity, needlework and embroidery.Not only must you be able to pick flowers and thread, but you must also be proficient in panjin and thread lock.But Miss Qin is different. She has always been pampered and pampered, and she doesn't need to embroider women's red for silver like those small girls.

However, Nanny An had taught Qin Yuzhen a few times before when her eyes were still clear, but Miss Qin was always impatient, and touched it intermittently a few times, and then she let go before she even learned the ladder needle.As for the other girls, they have learned these things since they were young. Not only do they have to learn, but they also need to learn well, so as to avoid being laughed at by their in-laws for their shortcomings in the boudoir when they get married.Secondly, it also seems that the face of the mother's family is radiant.

So, in the past few days, I don't know what Miss Qin's thoughts suddenly moved. Sometimes after eating, she would start to pick up these pieces of silk and satin to learn tirelessly.

After watching her pick a few stitches, Hui'er got up and opened the window. When spring came, the room would be very fragrant when the window was opened.

"Hey, miss, look." Hui'er took a leafy crabapple flower from the window lattice with some surprise, "This is strange, why did this flower come to the window?"

Hui'er stretched out the flowers, "Miss, look, I don't know who is so boring, why come here to pick flowers?"

This is a newly picked flowering branch. In spring, the treetops are green and the leaves are fat, and the crabapple flowers are blooming dazzlingly.

The crabapple has no fragrance and the flowers are small, but Qin Yuzhen held it in his hand and looked at it again and again.After a long time, she stretched out her hand and gently touched the petals, and said coquettishly, "No, this person is really boring."

On a road more than 20 miles away from the city, two fast horses were galloping forward.Chen Qingyu held the rein with both hands, and looked straight ahead.Although the sun in the new year was not very high, after running all the way for so long, Chen Qingyu's clothes inside were already quite wet with sweat.

"Qingyu, look, there is an inn in front. Let's get off the horse and rest for a while." Feng Laosi shouted at her.

Chen Qingyu looked back and said, "No, this place is too close to the city, and there is an inn more than ten miles away, let's go there and rest."

Feng Lao Si bumped hard on the horse's back: "No, after running for a long time, my back is sore, Qing Yin, let's rest, we have to run for more than ten miles, my old bones It must fall apart."

Chen Qingyu pulled the rein and stopped slowly, forget it, after running so far, let's take a rest.

The restaurant in front is on the side of the road, with two doors facing each other. There is a lookout pole in front of the door, and a wine flag is hung on it.

The two got off their horses, and a guy outside rushed up to greet them.

"Second Brother, take the horse to the trough and feed it some horse feed. We will be on our way later." Chen Qingyu threw the rope to him, "Remember to feed some water."

"Okay, guest officer, please."

Although this shop is not big, it is the only one in the distance, so some people came in to rest one after another.

The two entered the hotel, found a seat by the window and sat down.

Feng Laosi looked around and said in a low voice, "Qingyu, tell me, are we really leaving like this?"

Chen Qingyu poured himself a cup of tea, "Aren't you going? Are you still waiting for someone to catch us?"

Fourth Feng smacked his lips and said, "I mean, don't you miss anyone?"

Chen Qingyu paused, "I can't bear anyone, but I really can't bear the few thousand taels of silver."

Fourth Feng: "Let's not talk about money, are you really willing to give up on that Miss Qin family?"

Chen Qingyu looked up at him, "Fourth Uncle, what do you mean?"

Seeing her unkind eyes, Feng Lao Si smirked twice, "Nothing, nothing, just ask casually." After speaking, he hurriedly called the shop assistant: "Xiao Er, do you have any fresh meat? If you have, cut it into two catties Come, another jug ​​of good colored wine."

"Come here, do you two want other dishes?"

"One more bowl of vegetables, hurry up." After Feng Laosi finished speaking, he turned around, "Since we have to travel a long distance, we can't do without filling our stomachs."

Chen Qingyu drank tea in silence, not wanting to speak.

After a while, the waiter brought two dishes and a jug of wine.Watching the waiter set out two wine cups, Chen Qingyu put down the teacup and said, "Fourth Uncle, you can eat. I'll go to the trough to see the horses."

After finishing speaking, Feng Laosi got up and left without waiting for Feng Laosi to speak.

"Heh, if you don't want to eat, don't eat. I'm happy to eat more." Feng Laosi picked up the chopsticks and was not polite.

There was a row of horse sheds on the left side of the hotel. Chen Qingyu strolled to the side of the horse shed, and a young guy came over with a bundle of grass.

There was no one else here, so Chen Qingyun quietly looked at the two green horses that were grazing.

"Guest officer, is this horse yours?"

asked the young chap.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I think this horse is quite strong, and it looks like a good horse that can run long distances."

Chen Qingyun smiled and remained silent.

"Hey, according to the accent of the guest officer, it should be a guest from a foreign country, right?"

Chen Qingyun looked at him.

The man smiled shyly and said, "I went to Beijing to catch the exam a few years ago, and I lived in the capital for two years. I heard the accent of the guest officer seemed to be from the capital, so I just asked casually."

Chen Qingyu was not in the mood to chat with people, she stood for a while, but walked away.

At this time, it should be almost time.Chen Qingyu thought about it.

When she walked into the store, Feng Laosi was still drinking wine leisurely.

"Fourth Uncle, it's time for us to hurry." Chen Qingyun didn't want to wait any longer.

Feng Laosi held a glass of wine in his hand, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we've already left the city anyway, you sit down first, and we won't be too late after I finish drinking this pot."

"When do you want to drink? It's not too early now. If you delay the time..."

"Don't worry, it's really killing me. I'm in pain all over now. Let's take a rest."

Chen Qingyu had no choice but to sit aside.This Feng Lao Si is really a lazy donkey.

Time passed slowly, and there were fewer and fewer people in the store. Chen Qingjiu counted the time, and when he was about to speak to remind him, he suddenly saw a few people coming in from outside the store.

The man in the lead was dressed in brocade clothes, and he looked sinister and shameless in his attire.

Qin Tianwang!

Chen Qingyu looked at him, then turned to look at Feng Laosi, his face gradually sank.

Qin Tianwang walked in swaggeringly, looked at her with a smile and shook his head, "Master Rong, don't come here without any harm."
