Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 91

"What's going on up front? Look at how flustered you are." Jinxiu asked before Qin Su, her eyes were full of curiosity, as if she wished she could go out and have a look.

Qin Su didn't stop her from speaking, but kept silent.

The shorter servant then said respectfully: "Master Zhong's family has arrived. I will report the news to the old lady of the East Yard under Madam Tai's order."

Zhong Jingren is here?
Qin Su's hand hidden in his sleeve was instantly cold.

Zhong Jingren is the eldest brother of the Zhong family. He has been in charge of several kilns of the Qin family. At the end of each year, he will return to the Qin family to pay the accounts and give some new year gifts along the way.

In the previous life, in the brick kiln managed by Zhong Jingren, the weapons privately hidden by Captain He were unearthed.

Did the Zhong family have a private deal with the He family?Or was Zhong Jingren innocently framed?Qin Su didn't know.

Now that Zhong Jingren has come to Qin's house, it shows that in a few days, Mrs. Tai will definitely invite her family members to Dehui Hall to meet Zhong Jingren.

In other words, the thing she had been worrying about was about to happen.

I hope that the arrangements she made in advance can play a little role.

Qin Su let go of her fingers, nodded slightly to Ah Sheng and the others, and said with a smile: "Go quickly, don't miss the message."

Ah Sheng and the servant made a promise, bowed and saluted, and then turned around the corridor.

From the beginning to the end, Ah Sheng did not show how close he was to Qin Su, and his demeanor was very calm, which was quite different from the young man driving a car in Qin Su's memory.

"It turns out that Lord Zhong Lang is here." Jinxiu was speaking, but her eyes were firmly glued to Ah Sheng's straight back, and there was a trace of curiosity in her expression.

Qin Su followed her gaze and did not speak.

"Is that a new servant? I haven't seen it in the main room before." Jinxiu finally said, her eyes turned around and turned to Qin Su.

Qin Su nodded: "That's Ah Sheng, who used to drive the car. I met a strong man on the way back home, thanks to his unruffled presence." Her tone contained emotion, "Now he's working in the main courtyard. It can be seen that great-grandmother also appreciates him."

"So he is Ah Sheng." Jinxiu's eyes sparkled, she held her face in both hands, and there was an uncontrollable sweet smile on her face, as if she was moved.

Qin Su was slightly surprised, but still followed her words and said, "That's him. Ah Sheng is a good driver and safe in his actions. I heard people say that the stewards often praise him."

Jinxiu's eyes became brighter, Zhuo Zhuo looked at the front where no one was there, but she didn't continue, but changed the topic with a smile: "The girl hasn't come back for a long time, and Lord Zhong is the most generous, I don't know why?" What rare and interesting things can he bring this time, maybe the girl will get more things than others."

Every time Zhong Jingren came to the Qin Manor, he would send some gifts to the various courtyards, because he traveled all the year round, and the things he brought back were all novelties, which were really worth looking forward to.

Qin Su made an appropriate happy expression, and said happily: "Exactly, the playthings brought by Uncle Zhong are the most interesting and fresh."

"Look at the girl's joy." Jinxiu joked with a smile.

Qin Su quickly suppressed her smile, and said softly: "Let's go back quickly, sleep early tonight, maybe we can see Uncle Zhong tomorrow morning."

Jinxiu laughed lightly when she heard the words, and stepped forward to support Qin Su attentively. After a while, the figures of the two master and servant gradually drifted away.

The inside and outside of the curved corridor became quiet.It was already dinner time, and there was no one in the courtyard, except for the bright lights at dusk, which bloomed like stars in the silent night sky.

"Tap", a sound of wooden clogs sounded lightly, breaking the tranquility of the courtyard.

Following the sound, I saw a figure quietly flashing out of the innermost part of the corridor.

The whole body of the figure was wrapped in a cloak, only revealing a pair of cold eyes, staring at Qin Su and the others' retreating back. After a long while, he turned around abruptly and disappeared into the dark night...

Compared with the twinkling star lights of the Qin Mansion, which stretched across the sky and the sky, the night of the Xue Mansion seemed much more lonely.

Xue Yunheng carried a yellow paper lantern and walked alone on the gravel road, without a single follower beside him.

People of the Xue clan despised luxury and valued frugality, so the night in Xue's mansion was purer than other places, except for a few candles, there were only stars shining brightly and the moon shining brightly in the sky.

Xue Yunheng looked up at the sky.

The winter nights in Dadu are not as clear and moist as the south, but have a dry and refreshing atmosphere. The stars are inlaid on the dark blue sky, like little waves of light floating in the water, clear, clean, cold, and indifferent like gods Look at the eyes of all living beings.

For some reason, an unremarkable figure suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, standing in white clothes with green curtains and a staff, appearing far away in the corner of his memory, clean and quiet.

"A southern girl." Xue Yunheng murmured to himself, then shook his head mockingly.

He really thinks too much.It's just that he received a thank you gift from the Qin family a few days ago, and read a note written by the Qin family's Liu Niang in a well-regulated, neat handwriting. After reading it for a while this evening, he thought of her again. up.

He raised the lantern a little higher and illuminated the road ahead.

In fact, there is nothing to photograph.

The courtyard of the Xue Mansion is probably the most boring and dull among all the gentry.Just like the "Peiyu Garden" he was passing through at the moment, apart from having a fairly elegant name, the biggest feature of this garden is emptiness.

The few flowering trees in the corner are half-dead all the year round, and rarely bloom a single flower in a year.There are no flowers in the lotus pond, only a large piece of wild duckweed, which makes the water in the pond so green that it looks a little scary at night.

This empty yard is paved with large flat bluestones, even if you walk at night without a lantern, you will not be in danger of falling or being injured, because there is really nothing to bump into or step on.

Xue Yunheng smiled self-deprecatingly again, and walked forward slowly.

Passing through the empty Peiyu Garden, there are two forked roads in front of him. The left forked road ends at the end, which is his study.

Xue Yunheng walked through the path without haste, and stopped for a while until he reached the corridor of the study room. He hung the lantern on the copper hook outside the door, and immediately pushed the door open and entered the room.

He Ying was dressed in black clothes, standing upright in front of the desk, when he heard Xue Yunheng's footsteps, he immediately faced the door, crossed his hands on one knee and said, "I've seen the servant."

Xue Yunheng was promoted some time ago, and now he is the Minister of Zhongshu, a fifth-rank official position, neither high nor low, occasionally walking in front of the palace, but it is not too impressive.

Given Xue's family status, his performance can only be called mediocre.

"Get up and talk." Xue Yunheng waved his hand casually, went to pick up the teapot by himself, tried it, but it was terribly cold.

"Adu, Adu." Xue Yunheng called twice, but he didn't hear an answer, so he changed his tone again, very impatiently: "Deng Tong, why are you pretending to be deaf when you die for me?"

At this moment, Xue Erlang, who is famous all over Chen Guo and has made countless girls blush and heartbeat, how can he still look like Su Xi with fluttering white clothes and big sleeves?The expression on his face was totally different from usual.
