The general's wife through time

Chapter 25 The banquet ended perfectly
Qin's backyard.

"I'll carry water for you to water the fields."

When Qin Mingshu sang this, his movements froze, he looked at the jade bone fan in his hand, and put it away with a sullen face. He looked down at the Xiangyun gauze gown he was wearing, his face suddenly became even worse, and he turned around and went back to the house.

The two secret guards in the tree looked at each other.

"Second Young Master, are you unhappy again? But why?"

"God knows, there is no time when he is happy."

Simultaneously.

On the wall of the backyard.

Qin Mingrui glanced at the people below and said in a deep voice, "I'm not going!"

Chen Tong raised his head with concern on his face, "What's wrong with you?"

The person next to him blurted out, "Is it possible that you had a fight with Duan Jingchu and were afraid of his revenge, so you hid? I heard that Duan Jingchu came to the General's Mansion. Isn't he here to settle a score with you? You were so scared that you even left the front yard. You don’t even dare to go, so you just hide in the backyard?”

After saying this, he regretted it. The sarcasm was too obvious and he would be beaten if he heard it.

Qin Mingrui touched the tip of his tongue to his cheek, feeling a little anxious in his heart, but he suppressed it and just glanced coldly at the man below.

Seeing this, the man suddenly felt that he had guessed correctly. He was sent to prison once. Qin Mingrui was afraid, so he said angrily: "If you don't go, you just don't like us anymore!"

In the past, Qin Mingrui played polo, horse racing, archery, ate and drank with them, visited gambling houses, and brothels... and didn't think there was anything wrong with them. But now, isn't it because he doesn't participate in activities? How come he owes them The same thing happened, and he even got scolded at his door!

After all, it was because he was not a good practitioner. When he was stimulated like this, the anger in his heart would soon become uncontrollable.

"Get out!" After giving the cold warning, he jumped off the wall with a dark face.

He can't stay here any longer, otherwise he will definitely have to beat someone up, and then he will disappoint his sister-in-law.

"No, are you really angry?"

Several people outside the wall looked at each other, and finally looked at the man who had just mocked Qin Mingrui. Chen Tong even kicked him angrily, "You can't shut up!"

Finally, Chen Tong closed his eyes.

burn one's boats!

He shouted loudly: "Qin Mingrui, if you don't come out, I will climb the wall and go in. As a good brother, I can't watch you sink like this. I have to save you. Don't worry, when you come out, I will protect you and never let you go." Duan Jingchu will not approach you again."

Hearing this, Qin Mingrui stopped suddenly.

He suddenly remembered something. The last time he faced Duan Jingchu, he was trying to help Chen Tong fight against injustice.

Suddenly a thought came into my mind, the anger just aroused by these people was no longer worth mentioning.

He called the boy at the door and whispered a few words.

This was the first time that Si Wei was in trouble for something. Just when he was hesitating whether to warn Xue Tang, a boy hurried in.

Steward Qin glared at him fiercely, pulled the person aside and said, "There are no rules! On a day like today, you have to be careful about the big things. Don't let people say that the Qin family doesn't discipline their servants."

The boy nodded repeatedly, he knew, but the matter at the back door was indeed urgent!

He wiped the sweat off his head and hurriedly reported: "Well, Young Master Shangguan, Young Master Chen, Young Master Li, and Young Master Pei are blocking the back door. If the Third Young Master doesn't go out to see them, they will climb over the wall. The Third Young Master is very unhappy. I’m so impatient that I’m about to fall out with them.”

"What did you say?" Butler Qin pulled the boy closer to the banquet, raised his voice and asked again. At the same time, he pinched the boy.

The boy was in pain, but did not dare to show it. He received the butler's hint and shouted: "Master Shangguan, Master Chen, Master Li, and Master Pei, they are blocking the back door. If the third master does not go out to see them, they will I want to climb over the wall and drag the third young master to the gambling house. The third young master is very impatient and is about to fall out with them."

I originally heard Butler Qin shouting in panic, thinking that something had happened to the Qin family, and many people were ready to continue eating. But after hearing what the boy said, all the heads or wives of those families couldn't sit still.

You bastard, here comes the trouble!

Duan Jingchu looked at his eldest brother and asked for praise, "Look, your brother is already very good. At least he won't think about climbing on other people's walls or forcing girls into prostitution."

Duan Jingchen frowned slightly and thought to himself, this doesn't seem to be the way to force a good girl into prostitution, but... it's almost the same!

At least my younger brother has learned idioms!

He picked up a piece of sausage and put it into his mouth, and said with a slight smile: "Well, this is indeed better than some people."

A group of parents turned red with shame at the two brothers.

They stood up menacingly, with such a posture that they were bound to catch the naughty children in the family and punish them.

However, Xue Tang stopped in front of them, neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly: "The rules set by the old lady of the Qin family are that no one other than relatives is allowed to enter the Qin family's back house."

Therefore, no one can use this excuse to approach the Qin family's backyard.

Butler Qin answered the question at the right time: "Why don't I have people prepare a sedan chair quickly and carry all the nobles out of the front door. Before the young masters do anything extraordinary, I can quickly go to the back door to persuade them." Half an hour later.

Those people outside the courtyard wall were carried back by their elders. Qin Mingrui looked at them and felt very good.

"Qin Lu, watch the backyard!" After saying that, he ran briskly to the front yard. He performed so well today, he wanted to go to his sister-in-law and ask for praise in public.

However, when he arrived at the front yard, there were only servants busy cleaning up the mess in an orderly manner, and there was no one else.

Qin Mingrui: "..."

it's over? !

Qin Mingrui saw that there was no one he could help in the front yard, so he went back to the backyard, and bumped into Qin Mingyue who was out looking for food.

"When did you come back?" Qin Mingrui asked in a bad tone.

"morning."

"Did you go to the party?"

"went."

"When did it end?" At this point, Qin Mingrui was worried that Qin Mingyue, a fool, wouldn't understand, so he added two words, "banquet."

Qin Mingyue: "I don't know."

She was also surprised. Xue Tang left her in the room, and nothing happened after that. She thought there would be someone watching outside and not letting her go out, but there was no such thing. Even knowing that her former personal maid, Mammy, was sold by her elder brother, Xue Tang specially arranged for two little maids to do her bidding.

Qin Mingrui: "???"

do not know?
Seeing Qin Mingrui's confused expression, Qin Mingyue regained her balance. See, she wasn't the only one shocked by Xue Tang's behavior.

Qin Mingrui passed Qin Mingyue and strode towards the backyard.

"Are you going to find Xue Tang?" Qin Mingyue couldn't help but ask.

She wanted to remind him that Xue Tang was becoming difficult to deal with now, but after thinking about it, she still said nothing. When she came to her senses, Qin Mingrui's shadow was nowhere to be found.

After Xue Tang returned to her room, she quickly asked Qiudie and Lu Rui to help her take off her Chinese clothes and take off her headband.

She soaked in the tub, rolled her stiff neck, and felt reborn.

At that time, she felt that her goal had been achieved, so she wanted to end the banquet while taking advantage of the affairs of some naughty children. Unexpectedly, Si Wei agreed.

Si Wei said that he would no longer bother Mrs. Qin, who would dare to stay and continue to bother her?

When Mrs. Xia left, she deliberately passed by Xue Tang, but Xue Tang pretended not to see her.

In the past, the reason why the original owner had frequent interactions with Mrs. Meet. Now, Xue Tang maintains the plastic sisterhood, but she doesn't want to break it off too cleanly and make people think that she has become too much. And getting too close to Mrs. Xia will make today's aristocratic families look down on people named Xia. When Xue Tang saw Mrs. Xia, he felt indescribable rejection. How could he pave the way for her?

There was a rapid knock on the door.

Lu Rui opened the courtyard door and found Qin Mingrui.

She leaned forward and saluted, "Third Young Master, I was just going to deliver a message. Madam said she was tired today and would not have dinner with you."

"Oh." Qin Mingrui couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes.

At this time, the door of the main house opened, and Xue Tang's figure appeared at the door. Her hair was half dry, her eyebrows were a little tired, and there was a trace of moisture from just bathing. Seeing Qin Mingrui standing there without moving, she I couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

It was the first time Qin Mingrui saw a woman in such a posture. In fact, Xue Tang was well-dressed, but the boy always had more things to think about. He quickly turned away his head, his ears were slightly red, and he felt a little emotion because he did not receive praise. was washed away.

"I, I came to ask if the banquet went well?" he said.

I know I care about my family's affairs, and I have made progress. Xue Tang nodded slightly, "It went very well."

"Oh, then you have a good rest, I'll go back first."

"Wait." As he said that, Xue Tang was already striding towards the young man.

Qin Mingrui didn't know what was wrong with him, he was just inexplicably nervous, and his back suddenly stiffened.

Xue Tang walked up to him and spread out his hand. On his palm was a gold leaf.

The gold leaves are different from the usual ones, in the shape of a five-pointed star.

She picked up the corner of the five-pointed star and handed the gold leaf to Qin Mingrui, "This is your reward for doing well today."

Qin Mingrui was stunned, staring at the gold leaf in his hand, wishing he could carve this reward into his soul.

This was the first reward he received after his aunt passed away.
