Dressed as a widow, raising cubs, farming and building infrastructure in Ming Dynasty

Chapter 34 Whose cold heart
She was too tired yesterday and she really didn't have the energy to help them get dressed anymore.

Qin Liu and the children dressed up and left the west room, sat down to have breakfast, and after a while the little mute limped out of the room.He put on the new cotton-padded jacket that Old Man Li was reluctant to wear again, and he looked even longer with longer arms and legs.

Qin Liu saw that his messy hair was sticking unruly on his head, he struggled to swallow the steamed bun in his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice: "You should take the time to recover from your injuries, and leave quickly! If you don't go back to the grassland, go to the south." . It’s too dangerous here! I’ll help you solve the problem!”

She said this without avoiding anyone.

She still didn't know the identity of Old Man Lou, but the fact that he remained calm even though he was covered in blood showed that he was not an ordinary person.

What kind of citizen would carry around medicine to treat knife wounds?
As for Old Man Li and his two children, they were grasshoppers whose life and death were tied to a rope, and there was no need for her to avoid them.

The little mute smiled brightly: "I won't leave!"

Qin Liu hesitated slightly, a little angry: "If you don't cherish yourself, don't hurt us either!"

The little mute's voice was slightly lowered: "No way. Their number is also limited."

Seeing that he knew what was going on, Qin Liu said no more.

Yesterday, she fought bravely and acted as a cold-faced executioner who slaughtered dozens of people and saved her family of three. It would be too ungrateful for her to send them away today.

Yanzilou is not open for business that day.

Yesterday, she left the customers in the shop. Some customers were polite enough to put their meal money on the table, while others were not polite enough to leave directly.The cups and plates were still on the table in a mess.

Qin Liu planned to take a good rest today.

This day was originally ordinary, who could have expected that there would be a sudden killing?
Qin Liu felt a little heavy.

Where can there be a paradise where people can do business in peace and have the most basic personal safety protection for people who are honestly trying to survive?
How can she have the ability to protect herself?
Master Zhang from Qianhu who had evil intentions against her died yesterday, but if Master Li comes tomorrow and Master Wang comes the next day, how should she deal with it?
She was careful enough, covering her face with a headscarf as much as possible on weekdays, and showing her face as little as possible.

Mr. Zhang died in front of her yesterday. She was not too scared, but felt that she deserved it.

When those people behind were killed, she felt a little numb.

Qin Liu was thinking about these problems while tidying up the hall with Old Man Lou, but in the end he was still at a loss.

Near noon, Ma Ang hurried over to find her: "The adults who live in the inn next door want to eat the shabu-shabu from Yanzilou, and Mr. Jiang from last time is also there."

Qin Liu saw that Ma Ang's face was tired and his eyes were red and bloodshot. He knew that he probably didn't sleep all night, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

After all, Ma Ang is an official, and with his protection, their life in this town will be easier.

If Ma Ang can make friends with senior officials and get promoted, they will be safer.

Qin Liu asked Old Lou to go shopping for some items, while he went to find the little mute.

She looked at the injured leg of the little mute, and with some embarrassment asked the little mute to continue cutting the mutton.

He was a prince of the prairie. It was okay if she didn't know about it before. But now that she knew about it, she still let him continue to cut meat. It was a bit too much.

The little mute was a little shy when she saw it, so she readily agreed.

A group of people brought items and dishes to the inn next door.

The adults were already sitting in the spacious private room of the post station, drinking and mingling with each other. The table was filled with dishes, and the postmaster was flattering them, nodding and bending.

Qin Liu and others were waiting in the next room with their belongings.After a while, Yi Cheng entered Qin Liu's room and asked, "Why aren't the dishes served yet?"

Qin Liu frowned and looked at Old Man Lou, who was motionless with his hands on his sleeves. The little mute beside him was cutting meat leisurely.

Ma Ang was entering the door and saw Qin Liu and others not moving. He thought they were afraid of seeing the superior, so he took the initiative to pick up the copper pot and send it to the next door.

After a while, he came in and out many times and delivered the dishes one by one to the private room next door.

Yi Cheng glanced at Qin Liu and the others with dissatisfaction, then put on a respectful smile and went to the next door.

The voices next door could be heard faintly.

"...This is Ma Baihu, a simple and honest man who is not good at words. The Yanzi Building next door is also his property, and they are all equally honest... Please forgive me, adults..." This is Yi Cheng's slightly apologetic speech. Voice.

"Ma Baihu, so many Tatars died in your hands yesterday, but you are a hero. Come and drink this glass of wine!"

The voice sounded familiar, and Qin Liu recognized it. The speaker was a handsome officer who had dined in their restaurant before.

Another lazy voice in the private room said with a sneer: "Speaking of heroes, Mr. Zhu is the real hero!
When the late emperor was still there, the Mongolian envoys were so arrogant that they even kidnapped the families of our officials when they left the capital!
It was General Zhu who took the lead and took a few guards to intercept the envoy's team of several thousand people and rescued them by force!

The late emperor praised Mr. Zhu as worthy of being the queen of generals!
Now when my adoptive father praises people who are brave and good at fighting, the first person he mentions is Mr. Zhu! "

This flattery was spoken sincerely.

But the handsome officer said: "Master Qian's words are confusing. The foster father you are talking about is Qian Neng Qian's father-in-law, or Liu Jin's father-in-law Liu?"

The man with a lazy voice lost face and said angrily: "You!"

Another person quickly smoothed things over: "Others don't know, but Jiang knows that Lord Qian is the heir of Eunuch Qian Neng, he was raised by Eunuch Qian, and he also assumed the position of Jin Yiwei Baihu.

But if it is said that his career has flourished, it is still due to Liu Jin's father-in-law and his discerning eyes.Mr. Qian has been promoted to a thousand households now, and others will definitely be able to take a step further!High-ranking officials and generous salaries are just around the corner!

Maybe he can also get a title like Liu Ju, the nephew of eunuch Liu Ma'er!

Come on, for the honor of meeting you today, Jiang Mou drinks this cup to the full! "

Mr. Qian walked down the steps, swallowed his anger, clinked glasses with Jiang Bin several times, and then said: "Qian learned a secret before leaving Beijing. I hope Mr. Zhu can clarify his doubts."

Master Zhu said calmly: "Master Qian, please speak frankly."

Master Qian said: "I heard that the emperor took his favorite concubine Wang to Jizhou Tangquan before the Spring Festival.

Wang was good at poetry and calligraphy, and was very talented. He wrote a poem.The emperor was overjoyed and ordered the poem to be engraved on the stone wall.Qian went to see it specially, and the poem said:
The wind and frost outside the Great Wall are abnormal, and the pool is as vast as a soup.The line of Rong Rong flows through the present and the past, and does not wash away the cold intestines of the world.

Qian just doesn't understand, whose cold intestine belongs to this cold intestine?
Mr. Zhu has been the emperor's companion since he was a child, and his affection is different from others. Can you help Qian? "

Mr. Zhu said calmly: "Compared to Mr. Zhu, Mr. Qian's adoptive father Liu Jin and Eunuch Liu are the emperor's confidant, known as the [Standing Emperor]. Instead of asking me, a deposed person, why don't Mr. Qian ask you about your good intentions?" father?"

Mr. Qian was hit with a soft nail. He was not angry this time. Instead, he explained patiently: "Qian actually asked my adoptive father about this matter. Who would have expected that the old man would be so angry that he scolded me for not doing my job properly and spying on the royal family?" Privacy. As a last resort, Qian found another way and asked Mr. Zhu for advice.

I heard that the emperor treats you closer than his own brother..."
