Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 88

The seal of this letter does not seem to be forged, and the letter paper is also authentic cork paper used by officials. As for the handwriting, although it cannot be counted well, it is a trick commonly used by those scribes to prevent people from finding out the handwriting , he has also seen.

The only thing is that the envelope is a bit old, as if it has been used.

Still, that's not a huge deal.

He pondered and sat back at the desk, suddenly he seemed to think of something, raised his black and straight eyebrows, and smiled warmly and softly at Qin Shifang: "Sit down, and warm your hands." , stretched out a slender hand, and pushed a tiny warm bag.

Qin Shifang regained her senses slightly, said yes softly, and sat opposite him, holding the warm bag in her palm.

Zuo Sikuang read the letter carefully again, then put down the letter paper and closed his eyes, as if a little hesitant.

"How? Is this letter authentic?" Qin Shifang couldn't help asking.

Zuo Sikuang pondered for a while, opened his eyes to look at Qin Shifang, and said softly, "I see, you can give it a try."

What was said in the letter was quite confidential, Qin Shifang couldn't see it, but he understood that even if the person who wrote the letter was not in the official office, he was also a well-informed person.

The only thing he doesn't understand is, what is the purpose of this person?
Also, how did the letter writer know that the journey was dangerous?
It's a pity that time is too tight, the date mentioned in the letter is a few days later, even if he sends people now, there is no time to go to that road to check in advance.

Zuo Sikuang gathered his brows together, staring in thought.

A full smile appeared on Qin Shifang's face, and he agreed: "My husband is wise. I also feel that this is a good opportunity. Even if this letter is false, my husband will not lose anything if I go there. will be blamed."

Zuo Sikuang nodded, corrected his expression and said: "That's right, I'd rather believe it. If you can do your part to relieve He Duwei's danger, you will also share the country's worries."

His voice has the deepness of a mature man, but it is not lacking in clarity, like flowing water facing a cliff, and the wind blowing a flute.Qin Shifang listened obsessively, watching his eyes grow darker, she just felt that she couldn't get enough of him talking about state affairs and worrying about the people.

"This person must know some inside information, but he doesn't know how this letter got into the hands of the lady?" Zuo Sikuang asked gently.

Qin Shifang heard the words, quickly gathered her mind, and said in a soft voice: "The concubine discussed with her mother yesterday about running the ethnology, and she carried the official documents taken from the husband's master with her. The letter must have been caught in the pile of official documents. Who would have thought that because I was in a hurry to go back, the letter fell away somehow, and my concubine never found it. It was picked up by my mother's maid on the side of the road early this morning, and I returned it to my concubine The concubine found out that it was a secret letter. Fortunately, this letter was not picked up by others, and the concubine hurried back as soon as she read the letter."

Zuo Sikuang listened, nodded slightly, and when she finished speaking, he said in a harmonious voice: "Miss is as careful as a hair, and you have worked hard for me." If the spring breeze.

Qin Shifang's cheeks flushed again instantly, and she lowered her head shyly.

Zuo Sikuang took her hand and pulled her closer, his voice full of pity: "I know you worry about me every day, and I feel really sorry. You don't have to run around for me all the time, see Look at you, you've lost some weight in the past few days." As he spoke, he stroked his hand to her cheek, pressed his warm palm against her face, and looked into her eyes, as if looking at the most precious thing in the world .

Qin Shifang's heart jumped "poundingly", and his eyes were full of water.

She stared at Zuo Sikuang, put her hand on the back of his hand, and said with a trembling voice: "I am willing. The husband treats the concubine with such kindness as the sea, and the concubine only wants to repay one or two, and I don't feel tired. The husband is the one who works hard." , don't tire yourself out, and don't always think about helping concubines, so that your aunt doesn't like it."

As she spoke, she lowered her voice, seeming to be sad, but also shy. After a while, she raised her eyes again, and there was a touch of charming charm in that frown and look.

Zuo Sikuang took her hand, put it on his lips and kissed it lightly, then wrapped her hand tightly in his palm again, and said softly: "Young lady is wronged, and I feel sorry for you. Just bear with me a little longer and wait for me." After walking through the road of the Marquis of Han'an Township, there will be no need to be oppressed all the time in the future, and at that time, I will definitely ask for an imperial order for the lady, so that the lady can enjoy some blessings in life."

Qin Shifang stared at him obsessively, his eyes gradually filled with water, and tears finally fell down.

For half of her life, everything was difficult, she had nothing to do, and she bore the reputation of being a mistress for nothing. Wasn't she cautious one day, for fear of making a wrong step?But there is only one lucky thing that made her never regret, and that is to have a beloved man like Zuo Sikuang who will accompany her for the rest of her life.

Thinking like this, her body has softened into a puddle of water, and her eyes are as misty as mist.

Zuo Sikuang smiled softly, stood up, pulled her up from his seat, embraced her in his arms, touched the corners of her eyes with his rough fingers, and wiped away her tears.

Qin Shifang groaned, and fell limp in those powerful arms, her eyes were half-closed and half-open, but she couldn't catch the watery tenderness in those eyes.

The brocade curtain hanging down in Zuofu's study suddenly raised a few slight waves, like a spring breeze sweeping across the lake, disturbing that scene of water waves.And the murmurs and whispers overflowing from the curtain are like the curling cigarettes floating out of the window sash, filled with infinite charm...

*************************************
Qin Su stood under the high wall, looking around casually, with one corner of his line of sight always focused on the dry well not far away.

Twilight came from all directions, gray and yellow clouds piled up in the western sky, and the high walls surrounded half of the sky, but they couldn't surround the vastness and desolation that permeated the mansion.

The weather after snow is always very cold.

Qin Su raised his head and looked into the distance.

A gust of wind blew off the residual snow accumulated on the treetops, and the snow scum was sprinkled down one after another. Among the swaying Qionglin, there were sporadic lights, flickering on the withered branches.

There are quite a few maids in green clothes standing in the garden, all holding long poles, and hanging lanterns on the trees one by one.

This is a unique lantern in the Qin Mansion, and it has a very elegant name, "Mu Chao".

As the name suggests, this kind of twilight lantern is specially lit when twilight falls and the dawn has not yet arrived. The candles in the lantern are only as thick as a pinky finger, not more than an inch long, and will be extinguished within two quarters of an hour.

This is the tradition of the Qin clan. It was originally used as a metaphor for time and time, life is short, and the day and night can only be turned on and off, and it is used to urge the children to study hard.

Today, the elegance of the Qin family in Yingchuan has faded, and the bookish atmosphere has long since disappeared, but the twilight lamp has been preserved and has become a landscape in the mansion. The star lights of the two courtyards are shining, which used to be the most beautiful scenery for night tours in spring.
